discoverer Faculty ................. 6—9 FOREWORD We, the class of 1961, will leave this high school with the honor of being the first class to enjoy our high school to its fullest extent. We are the first class to complete our last three years of public school in the new Columbus Senior High School. When we leave its halls, we will enter into a world of progress. Today our world is growing immeasurably: not only in terms of space, rockets, man-made moons, and space suits, but also in terms of knowledge. In these days, our high school education is only the beginning of our knowledge. Through more formal education and by our everyday experiences in the future, we will have a basis for living in the world of tomorrow. Therefore, we, the Senior Class of 1961, present this annual to you with the sincere hope that you will recall, through these pages, many happy memories of Columbus Senior High School and the Senior Class of 1961 as you move forward with the progress of our world.

Guiding us through our junior year were David Greenwald, president; William Miller, vice-president; Jacqueline Hoffman, secretary; and Gordon Inselman, treasurer. In our sophomore year, our able leaders were Gary Robertson, president; John Baldwin, vice-president; Jean Grotelueschen, secretary; and William Miller, treasurer. The class was well represented in many organizations, such as Student Council, Thespians, Junior Librarians, Booster Club, Future Homemakers of America, and Future Farmers of America. During the past year Josette Petsch has been state secretary of Student Council. It has been her duty to corres-jjond with all schools in the state for the state convention held in Columbus, Nebraska, November 12. Varsity cheerleaders chosen from our class were Elizabeth Wheetley, Anne Hoganson, Donna Neater, Kathryn Clausen, and Jean Grotelueschen. In the field of sports, many of our boys held positions of importance on the football, basketball, and track teams. Earning letters in football were Lowell Grimes, David Greenwald, William Miller, Patrick Murphy, Gary Burmood, and Gary Robertson. In our sophomore year Lowell Grimes and David Greenwald were awarded letters. Lowell Grimes also received the honor of being selected for the varsity basketball team. So that they might be better prepared to publish the annual in their final year, Karen Gengenbach, Barbara Pittman, and David Johnson were elected assistant editor, assistant advertising manager, and assistant business manager respectively. As juniors, we had the noble task of entertaining the seniors at the junior-senior prom held on May 12. To raise money for this gala occasion, we presented a Variety Show, March 24. Our competent sponsors assisting us through the year were Mr. Cecil Carlson and Mr. Don Kasbaum. 18 Class of 1962 LETA ADAMS ELAINE AERNI RALPH AERNI RICHARD AERNI SHARON AERNI WANDA ALLISON JOHN BALDWIN MARK BECHER BETTY BERENDS JANICE BERENDS CHARLOTTE BLESSEN RONALD BLESSEN RENDELL BOWER GARY BURMOOD CECIL BYKERK GARY CAMPAIN ANGELINE CATTAU JUNE CATTAU KATHRYN CLAUSEN DONALD COFFEY BRYCE DALLMAN ANN DASENBROCK ROGER DAVIS PATTI DURANSKI SHIRLEY DUSH SHARON EDWARDS DIANE ERICKSEN DONALD ERNST GERALD FOLKEN NORRIS FRANZEN RONALD FREY DUANE GARBERS KAREN GENGENBACH LARRY GEORGE KENNETH GIGSTAD Juniors MELVIN GOEDEKEN LOWELL GRIMES JEAN GROTELUESCHEN DON GRUENHAGE ROGER GUMM NORMAN GUNSOLLEY ROGER HELLBUSCH LAVONNE HENGGELER STEPHEN HERR ANNE IIOGANSON CONNIE HOLMAN JARED HOLY RONALD HOLYS CATHERINE HOTH DANA IRWIN MARY IWOHN CONNIE JACKSON BILL JANSEN GARY JANSSEN NEIL JANSSEN RICHARD JANSSEN DAVID JOHNSON GAIL JOHNSON SHIRLEY JOHNSON RANDALL JURACEK JUDY KEIL PATRICK KELLY TERRY KLINK ROBERT KOCZOR KENNETH KOHLMEIER JANE KRUMLAND JUDY KRUMLAND DEANNA KUHN DOUG KUHN JOHN KUNES Class of 1962 BRUCE LOSEKE GAYLE LOSEKE GLENDA LOSEKE KENNETH LUCHSINGER JANICE LUCKEY REUBEN LUTJELUSCHE MICHAEL MATHEWS KENNETH McCURRY GEORGE McKITRICK BILL MICEK JANET MILLER KEITH MILLER MARY MILLER CLARICE MORLOK MARGARET MOSIER MARY MUELLER CONNIE MUHLE PATRICK MURPHY DENNIS MUTH DONNA NEATER DENNIS NELSON JOHN NELSON LINDA NELSON MARK NOVICKI DORCAS OEHLRICH ARDITH OSTEN JEAN PETERSON JOSETTE PETSCH BARBARA PITTMAN RICK POHLE CAROL PROCHASKA ROBERT PROEHL MELVIN PROROK PATRICIA PROSOSKI EYVIND QUIST Juniors THOMAS REIKOFSKI JOLEEN RESH CARL REUTER CAROL REUTER CATHRYN RICHARDS DONA RICKERT DELORES RISK GARY ROBERTSON VERLIN ROSENDAHL RICHARD SAALFELD MARLYS SANDAHL ELVA SCHMIDT 1 ” ALICE £ SETTGAST GAYLENE SHUNK LEON SIEFKEN MARY SLADE JOHN SLICE BEVERLY SOHL VIRGIL STACHURA NANCY STICKNEY DONALD STILL HERBERT STUTHMAN GEORGE SWINEY LINDA TITMAN HELEN VLASAK ELLA WEGNER ELIZABETH WHEETLEY SHANNON WIBBELS PHILIP WILKE DONALD ZWIENER 22 Class of 1962 Presents Phantasmagoria” The Syphonette, composed of twenty-two members of the band, presented a group of light and colorful musical numbers. A well-known standard, Manhattan, and a novelty number, Arranger’s Holiday, were just a part of the program. Symphonette members are chosen because of their talent and experience. The vocal, instrumental, and dramatics departments were combined on March 24 at the second annual junior show. The result was the Phantasmagoria which was a great success. The Symphonette, under the direction of Mr. Kenneth A. Johnson, played many entertaining numbers. Mr. Robert V. Larsen directed the choir as they sang songs from Oklahoma. Connie Hollmann, Jeanette Ahrens, Janice Feye, Neil Jouvenat, Donald Temus, Kenneth Kohlmeier, and Robert Mann performed solos and Nicole Gibbs and Kurt Leininger sang a duet from the show. The stars of the play were Judy Krumland, Janie Luckey, Michael Mathews, and Reger Gumm. The play was directed by Mr. Joseph Kamphius. The profits earned from the Phantasmagoria were used to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. A scene from the play, Three on a Park Bench, by Doris Estrada. The members of the choir became honorary citizens of the Beautiful Mornin’, The Farmer and the Cowman, and great state of Oklahoma in order to present the songs from Oklahoma were among the many songs sung by the choir, the famous Broadway musical, Oklahoma.

Seniors Attain Their Major Goal We the class of 1961 are the first class to complete three full years in the halls of the new Columbus Senior High School. Beginning our high school career in the fall of 1958, we were led by Neil Jouvcnat, president; Boyd Rosacker, vice-president; Dianne Swan, secretary; Jean Pittman, treasurer; and Mr. Roy Jeffers and Mr. Robert Brooks, sponsors. As the athletic season progressed, we chose Jeanette Ahrens, Janice Feye, Connie Larsen, Carolyn Luchsinger, Carolyn Ross, Jean Treinies, and Catherine Viergutz, reserve cheerleaders. Representing our sophomore class as sweetheart attendants were Susan Freeland and William Price. Continuing in the ranks of the Columbus High School were majorettes Lois Davis, Karlvn Kuper, and Rita Speckmann. These girls with many of their classmates marched in the world famous 1959 Rose Bowl Parade. Returning the next fall as so-called “upper class-men” — namely, “Juniors” — we chose Roger Miller, president; Carol Vrba, vice-president; Janice Miessler, secretary; and Nancy Snell, treasurer; Mr. Roy Jeffers and Mr. Robert Brooks continued to be our sponsors. Connie Larsen and Carolyn Luchsinger became varsity cheerleaders; and many of our boys participated in football, basketball, and track. One of our great undertakings of the year was the presentation of the Junior Class Extravaganza to raise money for the always important event of the year — the Prom. The dramatic department presented the one-act play, “He Done Her Wrong” or “Wedded But No Wife”; the choir did an excerpt from “Brigadoon,” and the wind sympho-nette offered a few well-chosen selections. The junior-senior prom was held on May 13, using the theme, “A Summer Place.” The mood was set by a park scene with lamp posts, and trees set around the room. From within an old-fashioned band shell, Skeets Mahoney and his band provided the music for the evening. Soon all the happy moments of our junior year were only fond memories — but on to bigger and better things and our senior year. Returning again, but this year the last lap of our high school career, we were ably led by David Boyd, president; Robert Hunter, vice-president; Jean Pittman, secretary; Jo Ann Becher, treasurer; and Mr. Delbert Miller, class sponsor. Cheer- 24 ing our teams on to victory this year was Connie Larsen with Carolyn Luchsinger, head cheerleader. The highlight of the traditional homecoming game was the crowning of the King and Queen Boyd Rosacker and Lois Davis. They were attended by Karlyn Kuper and Neil Jouvenat; Carolyn Luchsinger and Kurt Leininger, Jean Pittman and Dale Risk, and Rita Speckmann and Larry Ball. Amid the winter snow flurries, Mary McEncmey was crowned Snow Queen, December 20. Her attendants were Jeanette Ahrens and Connie Larsen. Margaret Erickson became editor of the Annual; Neil Jouvenat, advertising manager; and Kurt Leininger, business manager. All three served as assistants to the yearbook in their junior year. The efforts of the junior class are appreciated by the seniors in making the Junior-Senior Prom on May 12, 1961, a most memorable occasion during our senior year. Baccalaureate was held in the Columbus Senior High auditorium, May 28. At Commencement exercises, May 31, the class of 1961 reached its destination as each received his diploma. The Commencement speaker was Dr. W. A. Brandenburg, President of the Nebraska State Teachers College of Wayne. The seniors all leave much wiser than when we entered, carrying many treasured memories and a feeling of loyalty to good old Columbus Senior High School.

Trophy from Head Football Coach Dell Miller. Enthusiastic Team Wins Majority Columbus High School had the most successful season since 1958 when they were East Big Ten Champions. The Discoverers rolled up a better-than-average season with a record of five wins and four losses. The Discoverers started with a 6-0 win at York and went on to gain victories over Kearney, Norfolk, Seward, and Crete. The first Columbus setback came at the hands of Grand Island on their home field with a long punt return in the latter part of the game, causing the loss by a 7-13 score. Other losses were consecutive to Hastings, Fremont, and Schuyler. Several Games were lost by very close scores. The Columbus backfield was led by seniors Neil Jouvenat, Dale Risk, Russ Ferris, and Boyd Rosacker; juniors Keith Grimes, Dave Greenwald, and Gary' Robertson; and sophomore Leon Fickle. The line play was the best in years with seniors Brian Kluck, Jerry Whitcomb, Larry Ball, Kurt Leininger, and Norman Schupbach. Two excellent linemen, Brian Kluck and Jerry Whitcomb, were voted co-captains for the year. Head Coach Dell Miller was assisted by two capable coaches, Cliff Hopp and Rodger Majors.

Basketball Lettermen 1960-61 GERALD FOLKEN KEITH GRIMES GENE STOKLASA GAYLE CATTAU Forward Forward Guard Guard 50 RODGER MAJORS Reserve Coach CLIFF HOPP Varsity Coach Determined Team Steadily Improves The Columbus High School Discoverers showed much improvement and promise for the future by turning in a 9—6 win-loss season record. Serving as head coach for his third straight season was Coach Cliff Hopp. Seniors Larry Hulsebus, Eugene Stoklasa, and John Dietrich were the sparkplugs on the team. Hulsebus was the leading scorer on the team and also for most of the season led the Big Ten Conference in the scoring department. The underclassmen also showed what could be a very promising team in the future with juniors Gerald Folken, Keith Grimes, Gary Robertson, and Dave Greenwald returning with sophomores Stan Krehbiel, Gayle Cattau, and Leon Fickel. Folken, Grimes, Krehbiel, and Cattau, all alternating starters for the biggest share of the season, will have a great deal of experience to bring back for following seasons. The Discoverers started fast in pre-holiday games even though they lost the opener to a very fine York quintet 49—-54. Central City fell to Columbus in an overtime after the opener with York which started a four-game winning streak for the Discoverers. The winning road became harder to find in January, but a very good season record was still acquired by the determined Discoverers. Coach Rodger Majors, serving his first year as reserve coach, also came up with a fine season. Led by a fine group of juniors and sophomores, the reserves found that one and two points can make the difference between a win and a loss. Balanced scoring among the whole reserve team proved to be a promising factor in the future. The District Tournament play was held at Fremont March 3 and 4 with South Sioux City, Columbus, Norfolk, and Fremont, the same teams that met a year ago. Columbus was matched with South Sioux City and Norfolk played Fremont in the semi-finals. VARSITY SQUAD — STANDING: G. Robertson, D. Greenwald, G. Cattau, G. Folken, L. Hulsebus, S. Krehbiel, K.

A year ago the Discoverers won the Grand Championship honor at the State Meet but were edged out by Lincoln High in the Class A finals, having less than a two point difference between first and second place. This year the team was led by seniors Dale Risk, Russ Ferris, Neil Jouvenat, Kurt Leininger, and junior, Keith Grimes. The track team had a total of eleven track meets, probably the largest number that a Columbus team has ever had in one season.

At the end of the year if a member has earned 500 merits, she will receive a chevron. Janice Feye and Josette Petsch were elected honorary drummers for the year. The Booster Club also appointed usherettes to keep order and to seat the girls at home games. The Booster Club activities began with a Homecoming parade of the candidates for King and Queen down mainstreet followed with a pep rally in Frankfort Square on October 19. The Class of 1936 was honored at the Homecoming Dance on October 20. Other social functions of the year included the annual athletic banquet for all boys participating in sports and the Booster-“C” Club Dance sponsored by the “C” Club because they sold fewer season football tickets than the Booster Club sold. In addition to these activities, the Booster Club sponsored bus trips, held several poster parties, sold school sweat shirts, decorated goal posts, and provided pep rallies. BACK ROW: J. Wagner, S.

It is an honorary organization for all boys who letter in any one or all three sports. Its main function is to promote, maintain, and extend good sportsmanship on the playing field or in life. The “C” Club this vear has a member- ship of thirty-four boys. Besides lettering in a sport, the members must go through an initiation which this year was a one-day affair, including a formal and an informal part. After being initiated, the boy becomes a lifelong member of “C” Club. For the first time in three years the “C” Club lost the football season ticket selling contest with the Booster Club. The boys were forced to admit defeat and give the girls a defeat dance. This contest, held annually with the girls, has become an event which starts the events for the school year. This year the “C” Club again joined the Hi-Y in purchasing a picture for the picture gallery in the hall adjoining the gymnasium. This was the fourth such picture purchased by the two clubs. The World Herald Grand Championship Track Team of 1960 was the team chosen for the picture. BACK ROW: L. Hulsebus, N. Jouvenat, G. Stoklasa, S. Petsch, C. Loseke, Coach Dell Miller, Adviser.

Tomorrow’s Leaders Belong to Hi-Y Today To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school, home, and community, high standards of Christian character is the purpose of the Hi-Y Club. These purposes are carried out through the four planks of the Hi-Y program which are clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean scholarship and clean living. The Hi-Y welcomes into its membership, any boy who accepts its purpose and is willing to work with others in carrying it out. It encourages members to band together in a definite cause, calling for high scholarship, physical health, moral worth, and unselfish service. Hi-Y is primarily a service club, although a few social functions are held each year. This year the Hi-Y boys helped repair and refinish toys at Christmas time for the underprivileged children of our community. The boys also served as officials for the little league basketball games at the Y.M.C.A. A study was made to find a way to help the school for retarded children. The Hi-Y program was carried out this year through six committees which provided opportunities for leadership to be developed in the members. Each meeting included a program of special interest to boys. BACK ROW: J. Schulz, M. Becher, S. Petsch, J. Ball, Mathews, S. Heiser, L. Olson, M. Goedeken, C. Reuter, C. Karlin. S. Krehbiel, G.

Eleventh State Convention Highlights The Student Council, under the guidance of Karlyn Kuper, president, and Mr. Ervin Engel and Mr. Harlan Heald, advisers, rose to new heights in a very successful year. They boosted school citizenship and scholarship by instigating new programs. Realizing the need for recreational activities, dances were sponsored every month. Highlights of entertainment included the Sweetheart Dance, Snowball Dance, and Twirp Week. They planned a “Teacher Appreciation Day,” a Christmas Tree in the commons, and a group singing of Christmas carols. The Columbus High School Student Council was host to the state convention of the Nebraska Association of Student Councils held on November 11 and 12 at Columbus Senior High School. This meeting was devoted to the development of leadership. Delegates from all parts of Nebraska discussed topics concerning student council leaders, function, and responsibilities in the high school. Two main ideas promoted were how to prepare today’s leaders for future leadership roles and what can local student councils do to prepare young people for tomorrow’s responsibilities. Highlights of Saturday’s schedule included an executive committee meeting, registration, discussion groups, election of state officers, sock hop, and a film. Dr. William Hall from the Department of Education of the University of Nebraska, who presented his address just before the close of the meeting, was the main speaker. BACK ROW: B. Kluck, N.

Guidance Department Advises Students The function of the Guidance Department is manifold. Numerous students visit the guidance office for assistance in selecting a college, seeking aid in finding jobs, and looking for assistance toward overcoming scholastic problems. Those attempting to select a college find various bulletins over which to ponder. Many receive assistance in filling out college appplication forms. A number of tests are administered to the students through the department. The Merit Exams, P.S.A.T., G.A.T.B., and Kudor Interest tests are a few of these. These tests are to give both teachers and students a better understanding of the student. The Guidance Department also maintains individual files through which teachers can become better acquainted with the student’s background. Parents may also come to the school for conferences with Mr. Engel about their son’s or daughter’s problems and abilities. Scholarship literature is made available to all graduating seniors, and application forms for these scholarships are passed on to the seniors.

Junior Librarians Serve Our School The Junior Librarians form a service group. Each member spends at least one period a day at the circulation desk or performing other assigned library tasks, such as typing, filing, or shelving of books and periodicals. The student librarians plan and execute library displays. Members earn points for services given. A pin and guard indicating the number of years of service is awarded those earning a specified number of points. The number of points required is set each year by the Executive Council. On November 12, ten Junior Librarians attended a district meeting at Pierce, Nebraska.

Twila Thoms. Columbus High School Choir The Broadway musical, Li’l Abner, was presented to the public on May 8 and 9. On these evenings, the stage of Columbus High School was transformed into the famous Dogpatch, U.S.A. Li’I Abner was the seventh production of a musical comedy under the direction of Mr. Robert V. Larsen, vocal music instructor. In previous years, there have been performances of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Wizard of Oz, Oklahoma, Cinderella, Good News, and South Pacific. The plot of Li’l Abner is typically hillbilly. The United States government takes a nation-wide survey and declares Dogpatch to be “the most unnecessary place in the U.S.A.” Therefore, Dogpatch is chosen as the sight of the future A-bomb tests. This unhappy announcement brings to light the romance of the ever-popular Daisy Mae (Nicole Gibbs and Jeanette Ahrens) and Li’l Abner (Robert Mann), the girl-shy son of Mammy Yokum (Carolyn Luchsinger) and Pappy Yokuin (Lyle Holdren). Miss Appassionata Von Climax (Donna Neater) and Earthquake McGoon (William Neater) present the interference to this romance. Marryin’ Sam (Kurt Leininger) is always very willing to perform one of his famous weddings. In order to convince Senator Jack S. Phog-bound (Richard Weerts) that Dogpatch is necessary, the citizens must find “somethin’ necessary.” This “somethin’ ” appears in the form of Mammy 78 Visits Dogpatch, U. S. A.! Yokum’s own special Yokumberry Tonic. This tonic can make any man as big and strong and handsome as Li’l Abner. The government men approve of this tonic and declare Dogpatch necessary. Everybody is happy until General Bull-moose (Neil Jouvenat) appears and tries to take the tonic from the government and make money for himself. Fortunately, Dogpatch’s own hero, Jubilation T. Cornpone saves the day for Dog-patch. Others performing in the production of Li’l Abner were Lonesome Polecat, William Miller; Hairless Joe, Ronald Gumm; Romeo Scrag, Stephen Pctsch; Clem Scragg, Larry Hulsebus; Alf Scragg, Ralph Aerni; Moonbeam McSwine, Jean Grotelueschen; Mayor Dogmeat, Ronald Graus; Dr. Rasmussen R.

Columbus High School Band Completes The Columbus High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Kenneth A. Johnson, compiled another very successful year full of many achievements. The annual Platte County Fair parade began the activities of the band for the year. The band began marching rehearsals on August 15.

March Grandioso was one of the highlights of this part of the concert. Many well-known numbers, including classical music and novelties, were performed by the band. During the program, each section of the band was featured. On March 17, the Columbus High School Band was host to the Mid-East Band Festival. Bands from York, Beatrice, Fairbury, and Lincoln Northeast joined the Columbus band for an annual festival. Each band presented an individual performance; then a one hundred piece band, composed of mem- bers chosen from each band, performed under the direction of Mr. Hugh McMillan from the University of Colorado. Before the evening concert, an afternoon program was presented with solos and small groups from each school participating. On March 24, the band presented a program for one-third of the Junior Show which was given with the co-operation of the instrumental department, the vocal music department, and the dramatics department. On April 11, the band joined the vocal department for the presentation of the annual Pre-Contest Concert. Later in the month, the band entered the District Music Contest at Fremont.
