Should I just get a job and not go to college? Bewildered by numerous momentous decisions, a senior found he was not alone in his difficulties. Life, however went on around the senior. It was the last football game, the last test, the last of the last. In the meantime, seniors made the most of what was left. They headed every organization. Even inactive classmates were often given jobs. After Christmas, seniors came back to 108 days until the next vacation. Now they knew what the term “senior slump'’ meant. Although looking on with scorn as underclassmen, they now accepted the fact that this slump could hit them too. “One hundred eight days until vacation, and I’m so tired. I’ll never make it.” But they did make it. With the prospect of only one semester left, and the remembrance of last semester grades, seniors dug in again and began to study. Although giving the appearance of scorn, underclassmen looked on seniors with some admiration although vowing not to be like them. Admiration was inspired by seniors always getting the best — the first rows in the booster Club section at games, the first chairs in band, the middle section of the auditorium, the most attention. As the seniors looked back, they remembered their class play on February 3, the Prom on May 11, Honors Convocation on May 23, and Commencement on May 29. Now it's all over. Each senior separated; each member went his individual way; yet all are drawn together in memory as the Class of 1962.

Juniors and Seniors climax the year’s social activities with the Prom, “Aquapadc,” May 12, 1961. 28 Carl Reuter applying a common method of studying Chemistry puts forth a convincing front to any questioning faculty member.

It was necessary to act nonchalant. They became the lower upperclassmen. Juniors were always in the middle of things. There was someone always above and someone always below them. A typical junior’s name might have been announced over the bulletin one day for three meetings after school and another at night. The following Monday someone would have forgotten who the junior was. Juniors live in utter chaotic humdrum one week; the next week they become frantic with inactivity. Specialization marked the scholastic part of the junior role. Each junior had to decide if college preparatory, commercial, general, industrial arts, or vocational agriculture was the best course for himself, for some lessons became tougher; others relaxed after a hectic sophomore year. These middlemen gained importance as the year progressed. Some were elected secretaries and treasurers or, at least, committee chairmen in the various clubs. To fill the vacant treasury, the class staged the junior show. Suddenly it was nearly prom time and juniors began to work madly in secret. Then graduation duties were placed on the middlemen. They were up for president of the club. Seniors were leaving. It was time for the middlemen to move up. 1 After endless hours of prom headaches and decorations, Raynelda Juracek takes time out to make plans of her own. 30 Donald Alpcrs Beverly Alt Minnie Apthorpe Kay Asche Jerry Ball Darrell Bechcr Marlene Behle Nancy Behle Robert Behlen Juniors “Shannon Wibbels, this is not funny!” blunders Jane Wilken, dumbfoundedly.

Sophomores looked forward to next year; but on August 30, next year looked far away. This marked the date of the sophomores’ entrance into CHS. With the payment of three dollars, this group really became sophomores. Cold looks from the seniors and the nonchalance from the juniors did nothing to build the frightened sophomores’ ego, but as they adjusted, they, too, were accepted. These new arrivals became great joiners. Splitting club enrollments to the seams, they filled the organizations with new' enthusiasm and drive. Always willing to make posters, to bring “goodies,” to decorate for dances, and to participate in sports, they carried on where upperclassmen left off. In addition to all their activities, sophomores had to find time for lessons. Biology, geometry, world history, English, and Latin proved more difficult than last year’s algebra, general science, and home economics. Thus, study time was fitted into the underclassman’s busy schedule. While sophomores adjusted, time moved on, and suddenly school was over. Next year had come. In three months they would walk down the halls and look nonchalant, too. 36 Betty Sowdcr finds it’s easier to reach the soap box than the mirror.

Difficult Courses Challenge Students Probably the most difficult courses in the school’s curriculum, science and math, offer beginning specialization in their fields. Nothing is more distressing than to heat an oxygen generator a second too long and then see water run all over the floor, but nothing is more rewarding than to see an experiment work. Actual experience in conducting experiments proves exciting and difficult. Likewise, biology surgeons faithfully hunt for the heart on the left, the liver on the right in their dissecting sessions. Math students find the magic of numbers in logarithms, formulas, slide rule computations, triangles, and graphs. Trigonometry students like David Johnson can multiply, divide, and square numbers quickly with jJse slide rule. Gayle Cattau and Timothy Kathka examine a Telsa coil in physics.

English Necessitated for Full Education Carol Keeler speeds her reading and comprehension with the school’s ratometer during her study hall. No matter what a person becomes, he must be able to speak English correctly and fluently. Because of this fact, English is required. English stressed many phases. The semester of grammar was devoted to learning the standard form of writing. Literature introduced the classes to all kinds of life. The classes studied poetry, prose, and authors. Devices like the record player were used to bring Macbeth and other stories to life. Book reports led readers to many adventures. Also a part of English, spelling and vocabulary were given weekly. With new' emphasis on composition, themes were a periodic assignment. The school’s ratometer was available to students who wanted to increase their reading speed. At the board five of Miss Grace’s English pupils ponder over conjunctions while others work at their desks. 45 In the Social Welfare debate in Modern Problems, the teams compromised between capitalism and socialism. Social Studies Link the Past and Present Modern Problems connected the present to the past. In history the past is joined to the present. American history students officiated at the County Court House on December 4 as judge, attorney, sheriff, supervisor, mayor, assessor, superintendent, and truant officer. Heated debates on labor unions and socialized medicine were staged in Modern Problems. For each student the first semester’s study was climaxed by a 2,000 word term paper revealing a current problem. World history classes studied the evolution of our modern civilization and once a week read current events from the Senior Scholastic. Ancient civilizations gained new meaning for Roger Fielder after Mr. Wibbels indicated where they supposedly existed.

Departments Join in Various Activities Cupboard doors banged and girls scrambled in an attempt to prepare an emergency meal in Senior Home Economics. Vocational Agriculture boys must leant the facts before they can effectively put soil conservation to work. Senior home economics students put the rules of etiquette into practice at their annual “eating out” meal. During Christmas season, they prepared baskets of food for the under-privileged. Both sophomore and senior girls prepared for their future as mothers and career women. Sewing, cooking, child care, home management, and personality development were taught during the two years. Future farmers spent seven hours each week in the Vocational Agriculture Rooms 135 and 136. Their course consisted of a study of crop production and marketing. Senior Ag boys concentrated on soil management and conservation, farm financing, taxes, insurance, and advanced crop and livestock production. Sophomore Homemaking girls show little concern now, but they will despair if next year's hemlines go down. Commercial Girls Aim at 40 WPM and 80 WPM Commercial girls learned shortcuts for writing and figures that most people never acquire. Even wpm had significance to the girls. It is an abbreviated form for words per minute. 40 wpm in typing and 80 wpm in shorthand were a must. Accuracy and speed provided the key to proficiency in business education. The commercial students begin their major as a junior. English, U.S. history, bookkeeping, and junior and senior office practice were required. Not only business majors found commercial courses valuable. Many college preparatory and general course students take typing and bookkeeping. The increasing opportunities for continued business education made it difficult for girls to decide whether to begin work or to attend a business school. “But my balance sheet just won’t balance,” says Mary Iwohn in Mrs. Kaveney’s fourth period bookkeeping class. Wylene Williams has ventured beyond home row and has advanced to jobs and numbers in fifth period typing class. Carol Prochaska operates the duplicator as Elizabeth Wheetley checks for accuracy. Only careful work produces fine pieces of furniture. Woodworking boys learn this rule quickly. Boys Use Both Hands and Minds in Shop Although tedious at times, mechanical drawing skills of reproducing figures prove valuable in the future. In general shop class, John Olson practices laying a bead, that is, welding a straight line on a flat piece of metal. Many shop principles were learned from demonstrations rather than from books. These industrial courses are of three types. In general shop, boys learned the principles of metal shop, such as arc welding and soldering. Next door the drone of saws and the thudding of hammers mixed in an atmosphere of chaotic sound. In spite of these conditions, woodshop boys constructed refined furniture. Mechanical drawing classes developed architectural skills in the students. All these courses prepare boys for trades and for further study in architecture and engineering. Languages Disclose Customs and Culture “No, no tengo chicle en la boca,” (“No, I do not have gum in my mouth,”) replied a student to Miss Crue’s question. Carrying on conversations in the Spanish language is one of the objectives of the students in the Spanish I and II courses. Whether a student wants to read cracker boxes or Spanish editions of Life magazine, he will need to possess a knowledge of Spanish. Both first and second year Spanish students came to a better understanding of the people of Spanish America, their lives, problems, and their cultures. Caesar’s Gallic Wars, The Argonauts, Livy, Ovid and Virgil came alive for Latin II students. Vocabularies and translations were daily assignments. Latin students gained a better understanding of the English language through syntax and word study. At Christmas, Caesar was laid aside as Latin II students sang Christmas carols in the ancient language. Occasional records and daily advanced algebra add variety to Miss Crue’s Spanish I and II classes. Translations and vocabularies are forgotten as Latin students sing carols in the ancient language. 50 Bryce Dallman has learned that many flips, twist, and rolls arc possible if he keeps his body relaxed. Driver Ed., Phys. Ed. Physical Skill Exercises, games, skills, and chatter were again heard as Girls Physical Education returned to the curriculum. Lacking a teacher, this elective was not offered last year. Besides the common activities, the class included tumbling, relays, trampoline, and dancing. Following a more strenuous course, the boys wrestled, boxed, swam, and took strength endurance tests. Driver Education met twice a week for regular class periods. Here the drivers learned safety rules, parts of a car, and car operation. Another period was devoted to maneuvering a car in town, in the country, and on the highway. Driver Education was climaxed for each driver when he determinedly went to the Court House, took his test, and was at last a “legal” driver. Next time the Driver Education car has a flat, it will be the students’ turn to change the tire because now they know how. Girls’ Physical Education classes begin with the lineup and check off of each girl by Miss Dowling. 51 Youth Gain Knowledge Without Using Books Lungs, hands, voices, and ingenuity were used in Fine Arts. These classes offered a chance for a scholar’s brain to relax and for him to use the rest of his body. These groups meet as outside activities inside of school hours. Most of these activities also held many outside rehearsals and meetings. They offered a welcome break between Trigonometry and Chemistry or other solid subjects. Fine Arts classes developed students’ inner talents. Speech aimed at developing character and poise in speaking to and in meeting people. Choir and band constituted the musical portion of CHS where students gained insight into the world of song. Journalism expanded scholar’s newspaper talents as the class published the Discoverer. Working with clay, paints, or just pencils, art students found art intriguing. Emphatic hand and body gestures, a projecting voice, and Dorcas Oehlrich, like others, acquires experience in writ- an important message make John Nelson’s speech effective. ing, laying out, and publishing a paper in journalism. 52 Bruce Loscke, like other art students, discovers that painting offers a chance to express one’s feelings. Many hours of individual practice are required for perfection as a group. James Fuller's notes resound in his ears as he practices. “Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor for you get a much better tone,” says Mr. Larsen as choir begins. 53 Guidance Department Sets Emphasis on Individual While often working with groups, the main purpose of the guidance department is to Help the individual. Many a confused student finds aid in the guidance office in selecting a college, finding a job, and overcoming scholastic problems. Individual files are maintained on each pupil. These files contain information on a student’s background, problems, potential, and past record of achievement. National Merit Exams, P.S.A.T., Kudor Interest tests, G.A.T.B., and Intelligence Quotient tests are a few of the exams administered. The guidance office is the chief source of information on scholarships. Seniors find Mr. Engel ready to answer any questions about these applications. GUIDANCE DIRECTOR: Mr. Ervin Engel A part of the guidance director’s activities includes individual counseling. Carl Tucker is receiving some good advice for his personal use from Mr. Engel. Another important duty for Mr. Engel is administering the I. Q. tests to the sophomores. 54 Mouths are watering as each person anxiously receives his tray, reaches for his silverware, and hurries to find a chair in the cafeteria. Cafeteria Serves All Students This Year A dash down the hall and around the corner; the coast is clear; a student has again safely made it to the front of the cafeteria line. At 11:41, 12:04, 12:27, and 12:44, there becomes a special alertness in various classes. With the closing of the noon hour, the cafeteria now is used by all. After the initial shock of having to eat third and fourth lunch wore ofT, students fitted themselves well into the new routine. While some bring lunches from home, nearly 500 students and teachers still pass through the cafeteria each day. Preparing meals for such a large group proves to be a full-time job for Mrs. Pope, the manager. CAFETERIA MANAGER: Mrs. Ed Pope.

Student Council Aims at Foreign Exchange December 8 climaxed a week of hectic activity when Mr. Jeffers was crowned “most beautiful baby.” Withholding names, the Student Council posted faculty baby pictures in the Commons. Students contributed money for their favorite picture. This contest boosted the Foreign Exchange Student fund. Money from Twirp Week was also used for this project. After several years of discussion, this year’s Student Council took complete charge of the project. They organized a local chapter of the American Field Service and made arrangements for housing. With the support of civic groups, CHS financed the foreign student and made final arrangements. Another first came to CHS when junior Steve Heiser was elected president of the Nebraska Association of Student Councils. Steven was installed at the close of the state meeting in Kearney on November 11. With all its new projects the Council still follows the old traditions by sponsoring monthly dances and after-the-gamc mixers. Snow Dance and Sweetheart Dance highlighted the Council’s social functions. Finally the Student Council, acting as spokesman for the student body, proposed an addition of time to the lunch period then giving students thirty minutes. For the first time this year, the Council added a permanent supply desk in the Commons. Several Council members built and finished the desk. A committee was also appointed to study and to make the necessary revisions in the Student Council’s constitution. The amendments were passed by the students. The changes include revisions in the elections and sponsors. School closed for the holidays with the Snow Dance. The council sponsored these monthly dances throughout the year. 62 STATE STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT: Steven Heiscr. Student for 1962-63 President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer . . .

Junior Librarians were there to render assistance in finding and checking out reference materials. These girls maintained a display window in which they featured books on a particular subject. They continued the “What’s New” bulletin board where current news, fashions, and stories were posted. The girls spent many hours indexing and filing. In addition to the regular vertical file, a vocational file was organized for students. For all these projects the librarians are given points. Those girls with the most points received pins and guards. Regular meetings were held the first and third Thursdays of each month. All was not work for the Junior Librarians, though. At the annual Christmas party, the nineteen girls changed the library into a Christmas fantasy. The brilliantly lighted tree and glistening windows created a holiday atmosphere. The girls’ efforts were left for the enjoyment of the students during the holiday season. Outside of the Library, the librarians migrated to York for a convention on October 12 and also to Omaha Bishop Ryan in the spring.

If you had looked in you would have seen staff members hard at work. Whether it was drawing layouts, typing copy, proofreading, or any of the other numerous jobs, the staff had to co-operate to get it done before the deadlines. Producing a yearbook is a fulltime job. In November several members of the annual staff attended the Nebraska High School Press Convention in Lincoln. Competition was keen among schools from all over Nebraska. Representing Columbus High School were Kenneth McCurry in layout managing, Shannon Wibbels in copywriting, Karen Gengenbach in copyreading and editing, Barbara Pittman, and Laird Loomis also attended. For two days, in addition to the contests, these annual staff members attended workshops, discussion groups, and general sessions.

FFA Carries on the Nebraska Tradition Being primarily an agricultural state, Nebraska needs experienced farmers. FFA provides this leadership and cooperation and furthers student interest in farming. The Columbus Chapter participated in creed speaking, public speaking, and parliamentary’ procedure contests. Several boys also attended the State and National FFA Conventions and exhibited at the fairs. FFA planned and carried out a tremendous number of projects this year. In addition to various shop projects, they planned 73 projection enterprises, 88 betterment projects, and 260 supplementary practices. Parent night, Greenhand initiation, Awards night, and the Christmas party kept the boys busy. BACK ROW: O. Loseke, L. Rupp, J. Skalak, D. Rickert, R. Rcinkc, G. Osten, V. Rosendahl, H. Stuthman, T.

Actors Re-Establish Weekly Goodie Sales As the 3:30 bell rang on Tuesdays, students raced down the halls to the Thespian “Goodie” Sale in the commons. Under the new sponsorship of Miss Karen Lueck, the 53 members revived activities and dramatic interest in the school. Emphasis was again placed on the point system. The troupe required that each understudy gain ten points before initiation. Thespians commenced the season with the annual play, TEN LITTLE INDIANS. After weeks of practice, the exciting mystery was presented on November 14. Thespians incorporated a one-act play in the Junior Show. The Senior Class Play and the music department’s THE KING AND I were staged with the assistance of the Thespians. The club devoted many hours of preparation for the Central Ten Speech and One-Act Play Festival held in the spring at Columbus. UNDERSTUDIES — BACK ROW: N. Behlc. J. Deden. M. Apthorpe, D. Behlen, R.

First people to be arriving in Jim’s boat, others not far behind.” fen Little Indians By Agatha Christie Troupe 529 staged a romantic, mysterious tale of death on November 13 and 14. Action begins as ten guests arrive at a lonely old mansion ofT the coast of England. Suspense rides high as an unknown avenger among them plots the death of the others. Weird and bizarre methods of elimination are witnessed. One by one each ‘‘Indian” is killed. Two survivors, Philip Lombard, the dashing, daring charm boy, and a young attractive secretary, Vera Claythome, remain. After a life-and-death struggle with the villain, Lombard saves Vera, his sweetheart.

Diary of Anne Frank By Goodrich and Hackett On February 3 the Senior Class presented this true story of a Jewish girl who tried to grow up “normally” in Nazi Germany during World War II. Anne and her family, having been forced into hiding, lived in an attic with another family, the Van Daans, and a dentist, Mr. Dussel. Monotony and worry eventually led to tension among the attic occupants. The biggest struggle, however, lay within Anne herself. After two years, their hiding place was discovered. They were shipped to concentration camps. Only Mr. Frank survived, but Anne still lives through the pages of her diary. She wrote, “I still believe — that people are really good at heart. “You, you, and all the time we thought it was the rats!” roared Mr. Drusscl to Mr. Van Daan, who had been stealing the bread.

Departments Join in Junior Spectacular Having replaced the Junior Class Play of past years, the junior show was presented April 17. Composed of groups from Vocal, Instrumental, and Dramatic departments, the show is in its third year. The choir and girls’ glee, under the direction of Mr. Robert V. Larsen, combined to stage a tribute to Oscar Ham-merstein II. They sang selections from The Sound of Music, South Pacific, The King and I, and others. Cathryn Richards, singing “The Sound of Music,” and Connie Holman, singing “Something Wonderful,” were featured soloists. The rest of the choir’s program was devoted to contest numbers and another novelty song. The Symphonette, under the direction of Mr. Kenneth A. Johnson, and the Thespians, directed by Miss Karen Lueck, completed the program. “There’s no business like show business” for six silly juniors as they contribute their part to the show. Girls’ Glee brings the enchantment of the South Pacific to life in its tribute to Hammerstein. 73 STAFF MEMBERS: Joscttc Pctsch. Patricia Duranski The Discoverer speaks in words and pictures.

CHS came alive on Fridays when the maroon and white outfits of the girls filled the halls. To make their spirit felt all year long, the girls made posters, held pep rallies, sponsored bus trips, and decorated goal posts. In spite of all their enthusiasm, the girls were defeated by the “C” boys in football ticket sales. One of the biggest events of the year was Homecoming. On October 12 a pep rally was held in Frankfurt square. The following evening Homecoming royalty were crowned and reigned at the dance following the game. These events kept the girls busy for many weeks. Working on a merit-demerit system, the Club gave chevrons to all girls earning 500 merits. The girl with the most merits receives a star. The girls did everything from selling at games to peeling carrots to earn merits. At the end of the year the Club gave an athletic banquet for all boys who participated in sports.

Boys Outmatch Girls in Football Tickets Making a comeback after last year’s defeat, “C” men again outsold Booster Club girls in football ticket sales 225 to 203. The defeated Booster Club gave the boys’ a dance in recognition of the girls’ loss. Dressed in suits and with odd flowers in their lapels, “C” initiates went through a hectic day on December 14 of ridicule and teasing with the hope of final membership. Not being able to talk to anyone, especially girls, they proved an adventure for the whole school. Many an overwrought initiate forgot himself and paid the penalty at the official initiation that night. Under the watchful eyes of initiated “C” men the initiates could get by with little. After this grueling experience, the boys became life long members. Sponsored by the coaches, “C” Club is an honorary organization of boys lettering in one or more of the school sports. The 33 boys are devoted to extending good sportsmanship on the field and in life. President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Adviser....... Adviser.......

On December 12 the Christmas program entitled “Make a Joyful Noise” included soloists, small groups, the girls’ glee, and choir. A special section of patriotic songs was added to the spirit of Christmas. Even from the first day of school, the choir devoted its attention to the production of THE KING AND . Pictures, costumes, scenery, casting, and rehearsals required never-ending hours of preparation. In addition to this mammoth production, Mr. Larsen exerts a drive which ends in the production of many additional programs. In connection with the spring musical, the department chartered three buses on November 30 to see Lincoln Southeast’s production of THE KING AND I. Seven choir members attended the Nebraska State Music Clinic in Fremont on November 17 and 18. The choir worked frantically the third and fourth weeks in April. On April 17 they presented twenty-five minutes of song as a part of the Junior Show. Ten days later the group, along with small groups and soloists, participated in the District Music Contest.

Larsen, vocal music instructor. First appearing on Broadway in 1951, THE KING AND I represents the trend of musical productions in departing from the strictly romantic moods to convincingly realistic themes. Against an exotic background of the Imperial Palace in Mid-Nineteenth Century Siam, THE KING AND I unfolds an odd, yet compelling, story of an English school teacher and the “Uncivilized” Siamese King. Anna arrives in Bangkok to become the governess of the king’s sixty-seven children. From here the story reveals a conflict of eastern and western ideals with the western finally triumphing. The charm of the action and music combined with the authenticity and good taste with which the story was recreated brought the magic of “Broadway” to Columbus. Anna begins westernizing the East by teaching the King’s sixty-seven children in the palace schoolroom. Spectacle-THE KING AND I THE KING AND I CAPTAIN ORTON ...... CAPTAIN ORTON ......

Songs from the Broadway musical “Wildcat,” “Them Basses,” “The Sinfon-ians,” and Glenn Miller’s “St. Louis Blues” highlighted the program. The band again added variety to its concert by marching in the aisles. At intervals special sections, such as clarinets and bass brass, were featured along with saxophone solos and a trumpet-drum number. Bandsmen were again busy performing at several contests. On September 23 they attended the Midwest Marching Contest at Ak-Sar-Ben where they received their fifteenth Class A superior. Again on November 11 the band rated another superior at the State Marching Contest in Lincoln. The CHS band hosted their last contest of the year, the District II Music Contest on April 27. Also on March 16 the musicians attended the Mid-East Band Festival in Beatrice. John Nelson and Rendell Bower attended the Nebraska Music Education Association Convention in Fremont in the fall. Diane Ericksen represented CHS at the Nebraska High School Honor Band at blastings College, February 9 and 10. Back home the marching Discoverers led the annual Platte County Fair Parade. They played at all home football games. Pep Band furnished music for the first half at all home basketball games and several pep rallies.

Me-Grew, student manager. Influence on Discoverer Record of 5-3-1 Columbus High School with the aid of the new A-OK offense enjoyed a triumphant season. The Discoverers ended the season as East Central Ten Co-Champions. Starting with a convincing 26—0 win over York and a frustrating 7—7 tie with Grand Island, the Discoverers entered the ratings for the first time since the team of 1958. Kearney, Seward, and Norfolk also fell prey to Columbus as the season continued. A long awaited victory came in the Discoverer-Warrior game as Columbus dominated Schuyler 20—12. This was the first win over the Warriors since 1957. Spirit hit lows as the Discoverers fell before Hastings, Fremont, and Crete. Columbus’s leading tailback, Keith Grimes, took post-season honors. Grimes was chosen for both All State and East Big Ten All Conference teams. Pat Murphy shared the East Big Ten award with Grimes. Other outstanding Discoverers were seniors, Dave Greenwald and Gary Robertson, and juniors, Steve Heiser and Leon Fickel — all posted in the backfield. The line was anchored by seniors, Mark Becher and Bill Miller, and juniors — Jim Krumland, Jerry Ball, Lawrence Hake, and Stan Krehbiel. Sophomore reinforcements were Roger Meier, Marvin Mueller, and Melvin Aerni. Head coach, Dell Miller, was assisted again by Cliff Hopp, Rodger Majors, and Don Kasbohm.

Baldwin, J. Olson, D. Several March snow storms and a late spring thaw hampered the cinderman’s practice season. Because of the unfavorable weather, the squad was still running inside, two weeks before the first meet. With only a few returning seniors, the squad was composed mostly of new boys. Mark Bccher, however, who holds the school record, again completed in his pet event, the 880, after being last year’s Big Ten Champion: and John Baldwin, another 880 man, also came out. For the first time, the Columbus Invitational was limited to Class “A” schools only. This shortened the meet and made it more interesting to spectators. Although holding the Central Ten Championship, Columbus did not defend it this year. Jouvenat, R. Meier, B. EickhofF, R. Gumm, L. Hake, G. Prentice, G. Johannes, and T. Holub, student manager.

After six months of practice on the living room carpet, early in April, the golfers at last took to the links with enthusiasm. In spite of the months of practice, golfers found the outdoor golf different from the indoor golf. Under the supervision of Coach Cliff Hopp, the boys practiced after school at the Wayside Country Club. Steadily improving their play, they traveled to several out-of-town meets with both Big Ten schools and neighboring small schools. Lairy Loomis, Gayle Cattau, and Mike Mathews paced the CHS golf team to an encouraging second season. These three boys were the first to letter in golf since Skip Mueller lettered in 1957. These are the only four golf lettermen in Columbus High history. Dominating his play with powerful drives, Mike Mathews played first man and lead Seniors in scoring. The next three positions were held by Lairy Loomis, second; Gayle Cattau, third; and Tim Kathka and Jerry Holy, fourth. Among the most important of the meets were the Big Ten Conference Meet on May 4 at Norfolk and the Central Ten Conference Meet at the Wayside Country Club at Columbus on May 12. In the duel meets each boy could earn three points for his team, one point for the first nine holes, one point for the second nine holes, and one point for the combined low score.

To faculty and administration, it was just another year; but for 500 students, it was my Sophomore, my Junior, or my Senior year — a year to be long remembered. For the first time this year, the noon hour was closed. All students ate lunch at school. Classes were lengthened; more days were added to the school year. Girls’ Physical Education was back. CHS 1961-1962 carried on the traditions of fighting for the Discoverers. Football was highlighted by a win over Schuyler; basketball, by a win over York. For the first time in many years. Columbus had a white Christmas. The snow was old, but it was there. New Years came. Resolutions were made to be broken the following day. Goodie” sales returned. New fads and fascinations also came. Although few CHS’ers could do it the twist had definitely come In.” Skirts were short; toes of shoes were square; tennies” fitted all occasions. Time went so fast.
