Columbus High School - Discoverer Yearbook (Columbus, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1963 volume:

DISCOVERER Columbus Senior High School 2 VNiMWifw ■r u.' '. w 'v W lt Through the activity of the year All thoughts were on the future Whether continuing education At either CHS or college, At a job and independence Or service in the military Each equally important To the specific individual. At the beginning of the year New courses, sophomore girls, Football aroused enthusiasm. Club projects and productions Kept many students active; Working hard to assure success Social life was not forgotten And dances were attended often. 4 Students looked ahead to Writing themes, book reports And burning midnight oil on Daily assignments and tests All hoped for good grades And, good or bad, First semester’s end brought Second semester resolutions. Although some found out I’ll do better next time” Can be a worthless saying Many learned that studying, Thinking, and planning ahead Are well worth the effort And half the enjoyment of life Because there’s always a future. 5 EDITOR Laird Loomis ADVERTISING MANAGER Kenneth Johannes BUSINESS MANAGER Charles Penington ADVISER Miss Eleanore Limes MR.

Better outside lighting facilities were provided in the parking lot for those attending activities in the evening. Mr. J. P. Yowng received his M.A. at the University of Nebraska.

Early in the morning, the band members practiced their routines, while the cheerleaders worked on yells. Right after school, the staff members — paper and annual alike — were busy gathering and organizing their assignments; at the same time their athletic classmates were working hard to produce a winning team or a medal winner. Then, in the evenings, cast members kept a full rehearsal schedule to make their plays and operetta a success. In order to meet deadline dates, some of the staff members would be back at school in the evening. After all these responsibilities had been fulfilled, there seemed to be no time left for study; however, the ambitious college-bound senior or the one who wanted the best job available and still wanted to do his part for the school somehow found time to study. Although the “hard-working” senior often went unrewarded, he would have a personal satisfaction. For many seniors, this would be the last time they would carry on these obligations. For many, competitive sports ended; for others, it was the last time they would be in an organized band or lead cheers, and participate in many other activities. In spite of this, the seniors made their class a successful one by capably heading practically all organizations and committees. As the seniors looked back, they remembered their class play on January 28 and 29, the Prom on May 10, Honors Convocation on May 22, and Commencement on May 29. Now it is completed. Each senior separated; each member has gone his individual way; yet all are drawn together in memory as the Class of 1963.

Math and Science Hold Key to Future Mr. Bower impresses upon Bill Ritchie that the laws governing parallelograms are invaluable in the proof of geometrical theorems. As science becomes more and more important in the world in which we live, the emphasis placed on both science and mathematics is constantly increasing. To meet this growing interest in the two courses and also to meet the swelling enrollment, new teachers have been added as well as transferred from other departments to teach in this important phase of one’s education. These courses are aimed at the college-bound student who is concerned about his future profession. The biology, physics, and chemistry departments offer a fine introductory knowledge in the major areas of science. The Mathematics Department proposes challenging problems to test the intellect of the keen student. Experiments in physics pave the way to better understanding of a vital subject in our modern world. 50 Miss Crue and the members of her first year Spanish class try out the new language laboratory. French Added to Department’s Courses In this world of ever increasing foreign relations, the importance of foreign languages has augmented considerably. This year French has been added to Latin and Spanish as the courses offered at CHS. A $12,000 language laboratory has also been added as an important and very useful part of the lingual studies. The main purpose of the course is to teach students a basic conversational vocabulary and a working knowledge of the grammatical structure. The laboratory will help the students to learn the correct pronunciation of words and various phrases used in daily conversation. A better way of understanding English grammatically is by translating sentences from English into Latin. 51 Mrs. Hoganson, the new French instructor, shows Michele Dubas the instrument panel of the language laboratory. Social Studies Increase Our Worldly Knowledge The aim of the Social Studies Department was to acquaint the student with the advancement of human culture from pre-historic man to our modern civilization. World history presented man in his struggle for peaceful co-existence with his fellow man. It showed the problems he had to solve as his world was widened to take in the entire earth. United States history strived to show the importance of our government and how it was established. County Government Day on November 28 gave the students a chance to participate in an actual government. In Modern Problems, the student was able to present his own ideas on common modern problems. The main topics of discussion were economics and government. Student participation in panel discussions in Modern Problems is one way in which students may express their ideas on current issues. Recognizing that distance between countries means nothing in this atomic age, United States history students must learn the importance of good international relationships. 52 Class participation is an important part of any class and junior English is no exception. English Is Requisite for Any Occupation English is a necessary requirement for any occupation that a person would plan to pursue. Objectives of the department are to give the student a cultivation of taste for reading worthwhile literature, to develop skills in oral and written expression, and to give the student ability to use these skills clearly and effectively at all times. During the students’ high school attendance, English offers many outstanding literary works, such as plays by Shakespeare and O’Neill and numerous short stories and poems by famous American and English authors. Many book reports, essays, themes, and the study of three semesters of proper grammatical usage complete one’s high school English course.

SHOP FOREMEN — Richard Senften, Mr. Donald Moss, adviser; Gary Sedlacek, Leslie Olson, Ronald Schinkus, Leroy Christenson, and Harold Henry. Shop Classes Teach Manual Skills Main objective of the Industrial Arts Department is to develop skills in the handling and operating of both hand and power tools. One branch of this department is Woodworking in which the students make various projects such as tables, chairs, and other pieces of furniture. General shop offers the student a background in working with metal, leather, and plastic. Mechanical Drawing gives experience in the fundamentals of drafting and paves a way to a foundation for architectural study. Rodney Gumm, Kenneth Cooley, and Lyle Muth are working on their projects in the wood-shop. 54 Driver Ed. Prepares Safer Drivers Mr. Vahlkamp, Sandis Stocber, Mr. Farrell, Juanita Dade, and Larry Rezac examine the structure of an engine, one of the requisites for Driver Education. Driver Education’s main purpose is to train safe drivers for our highways. To fulfill this purpose, the course must contain every phase of driving. Because some of the students have never driven before, the instructor must start out by teaching the basic skills. Each skill is developed until the student can perform it smoothly. Two periods a week are spent in the classroom, studying the major parts of a car and their function, safety rules and regulations, and the proper care of a car. Phys. Ed. Manditory for Sophomores For the first time, Physical Education became a required course for all sophomores. To accommodate this new requirement, a bigger and better program had to be set up. Calisthenics started each class period, followed by various games. The boys participated in flag football, volley-ball, and similar sports. They also learned the basics of tumbling and took endurance tests. Less strenuous games provided the activity for the girls. Basketball, volley-ball, soccer, and gymnastics were the most frequently played games. The girls took part in several physical tests also. One of the requirements in physical education is the mastering of a back flip, which John Dughman, assisted by James McElfresh and Scott Rudat, is attempting. Volley ball is just one of the many indoor games played during a girls’ physical education period. 55 Judy Fyfc serves Nila Lutjcluschc, Elizabeth Willis, and Kathryn Varner the leftovers they were to prepare from their last meal. This is a real test of home economics. Vocational Students Train for the Future Vocational Agriculture boys study crop production and marketing in preparation for the day when they will become the farmers of America. Senior Agriculture students study soil management and conservation, farm financing, taxes, insurance, and advanced crop and livestock production to become future farmers. They also study general farm management, rural electrification, irrigation, and farm law. Home Economics is available to both sophomore and senior girls. Among the many phases studied are sewing, cooking, child care, home management, and personality development. With modern equipment the girls may practice the many chores which will be theirs when they go out on their own as housewives and career girls. The girls learn to understand their importance in the home at the present and in the future. Duane Bechcr, Gary Bell, Lynn Wurdeman, and David Lcimscr compare different brands of hybrid corn. Jean Hoffman, Joyce Witte, and Carla Wagner decorate the display window inside Miss Bennc’s room. 56 Commercial Courses Aim at Office Jobs Mrs. Kaveney explains to Roger Reinkc how an adding machine makes accounting an easier job. Joyce Witte and Glenda Zipf learn how to file records properly in Miss Albro’s secretarial course. Typing, whether taken in a commercial or a personal course is a valuable asset in one’s later years. Commercial courses are available for girls who intend to seek careers in secretarial work. Skill in the use of typing and shorthand are a must for girls if they plan to find and keep secretarial jobs. Speed and accuracy must be attained if the girls are to keep up with the work which they will be given. Bookkeeping is offered to give experience in keeping balance sheets, journals, and ledgers, all a part of their future work. With the background the girls receive in these courses, they may either enter a business school or begin work. Personal typing is also offered other students for their own personal use. Michele Dubas, Sally Reed, Agnes Sumovich, and Patricia Sumovich are sketching the first draft for a charcoal drawing. Speech and Art Render Useful Talents Speech is offered to students to train them in the skills of public speaking, group discussion, team debate, and to develop their talent in oral interpretation of prose, poetry, and drama. The power of persuasive speaking is an asset to any person, and group discussion and team debate give speech students the chance to demonstrate their abilities in this area. After much hard work, the students may take part in the American Legion’s Voice of Democracy Contest, the Declamatory Contest held by the Knights of Pythias, and the State and Regional Oratorical Contests. Art classes especially emphasize the individuality of students. Although all of the students are drawing the same subjects, each picture may be different. By studying different techniques and the works of great artists, each student can develop his own distinctive style. Art classes try to teach students how to look and see in order to express what they see. Because there is no definite way to draw any picture, the students may let their feelings show in their work, giving it the originality distinctive of great artists of the past and the future. Jennie Deden, Steven Sipes, and Barry Braithwait listen intently as Richard Weerts gives his views on a controversial issue in Speech Class. 58 Guidance Department Solves Students’ Problems Mr. Engel assists Jan Hollingshead and Soo-Hun Chung in the countless forms and applications that must be filled out to be a foreign student. Since the school is interested in the success of every student, Mr. Engel of the Guidance Department will give any student advice or counseling on a voluntary basis. Individual counseling and parental conferences are provided to help each student adjust to any problem which may arise. By studying a student’s individual file, which has information on his background, problems, and potential, the counselor can understand the needs of each student as an individual; then the Guidance Department can help place students in suitable jobs or answer any questions they may have about scholarships or admission to college. The Guidance Department conducts group testing, for the National Merit Exams, P.S.A.T., Kudor Interest Tests, G.A.T.B., and Intelligence Quotient tests. Because of the tremendous amount of paper work required to keep individual records of each student in high school, Mr. Engel needs assistance which is provided by Mary Hanson, Linda Brock, and Yvonne Earl. Administrating vocational and intelligence tests are among the many services offered by Mr. Engel, guidance director. Air Force Qualifying Examination is one of these services. 59 ORGANIZATIONS ATTENDANTS: Gayle Cattau Kay Asche ATTENDANTS: Jean Hoffman Donald Hegi Juracek and Hake Capture Homecoming Crowns HOMECOMING QUEEN AND KING Raynelda Juracek Lawrence Hake ATTENDANTS: Leon Fickel Nancy Behle ATTENDANTS: Cheryl Rudat Charles Karlin 62 Griepentrog Chosen Snow Queen SNOW QUEEN AND ATTENDANTS Mar)’ Heibel Queen Marlene Griepentrog Marcia Wallace Leslie Rowe Janet Perkins Genene Kluck 63 Exchange Students Are Crowned Sweethearts ATTENDANTS: Robert Hegi Linda Abegglen ATTENDANTS: Alvin Hulsebus Andrea White ATTENDANTS: Bonnie Knight Marvin Mueller SWEETHEART QUEEN AND KING Janet Hollingshead Soo-Hun Chung 64 Dances Are High Light of Social Season Homecoming, October 19, 1962 Snow Ball, December 1, 1962 Sweetheart Dance, February 12, 1963 65 BACK ROW: M.

Enthusiasm in Student Body Cheering the Columbus High teams on to victory is the goal of the Booster Club every year. With over two hundred members, the club sponsored all pep rallies and supported the boys at games. In addition to these activities, the Booster Club decorated the goal posts at football games, sponsored bus trips for out-of-town games, and made posters for the halls and gym. Leading the girls in cheers this year were Sandis Stoeber, Andrea White, Janet Perkins, Kay Asche, Nancy Behle, Cheryl Rudat, and Joan Clausen. The drummers were Wylene Williams and Joan Neater. Social highlights were the Homecoming Dance and the dance which had to be sponsored by the Booster Club because they lost to the “C” Club in the season football ticket sales. This year’s Homecoming King and Queen were Lawrence Hake and Raynclda Juracek attended by Gayle Cattau, Donald Hcgi, Leon Fickel, Charles Karlin, Kay Asche, Nancy Behle, Jean Hoffman, and Cheryl Rudat. All girls who earned 500 merits received chevrons. Girls who earned chevrons must have worked on committees and must have attended the majority of the games. The girl who earned the highest number of merits is the “star” member. Raynelda Juracek, Susan Wurdeman, and Linda Cole offer refreshments to the parents of football players on Parents’ Night.

Hi-Y boys Gordon Hulsebus, Gerald Luckey, and James Hoganson are selling concessions at a home football game, one of the organization’s moneymaking projects. Carrying out the purpose of the Hi-Y Club, the boys must create, maintain, and extend throughout the school, home, and community, high standards of Christian character. To help the boys maintain this goal are the three planks of the Hi-Y program — clean speech, clean sportsmanship, and clean living. Any boy who accepts the purpose of the Hi-Y and is willing to work with others in carrying it out is welcomed into its membership. It encourages members to band together in a definite cause, calling for high scholarship, physical health, moral worth, and unselfish service. Although Hi-Y is primarily a sendee club, a few social functions are held each year. One of its services is providing officials for the little league basketball games at the YMCA. During the football season, Hi-Y boys sold concessions with members of the FHA. Danny Condreay, Laird Loomis, and Stephen Hei-ser composed the Columbus committee at the Hi-Y model legislature in Lincoln on November 23 and 24. Columbus’s bill was a proposal to abolish capital punishment in the State of Nebraska. As the program of the evening, the Hi-Y boys listen to a lecture by our foreign exchange student from Korea on the customs and culture of his native land. 71 Council Represents Students Effectively Under the guidance of Gayle Cattau and Mr. Ervin Engel, the Student Council achieved new heights in a very successful year. They boosted school citizenship and scholarship by carrying out the merit and scholarship programs. Accommodating the need for recreation activities, dances were sponsored every month. The November Ho-Down, Snowball Dance, Sweetheart Dance, and Twirp Week were the social highlights of the year. Attending the state convention of the Nebraska Association of Student Councils held on November 10 at Lincoln Southeast High School were Stephen Heiser, president of the state organization, Gayle Cattau, Cheryl Rudat, David Ernst, Jacqueline Levine, Janet Hollingshead, Beverly Loseke, Janice Anderson, Suzanne Viergutz, and Carolyn Hasek. Finally, after several years, the Student Council’s goal for a foreign exchange student was attained. In our midst this year was Janet Hollingshead, a student from South Africa. This year’s Student Council also took complete charge of the project to send a student from our school abroad. With the support of civic groups, CHS made plans and financial arrangements for the American student abroad. OFFICERS President .............................

Money Is Earned in Various Ways To raise money for the AFS fund to send a student abroad, the Student Council sponsored an all girls’ football team. Divided into two teams, the girls played their scheduled game, November 1. Despite the rainy weather the CHS girls plowed through the mud and showed their fast acquired knowledge of flag football. In addition to the “female football players,” the boys furnished their own band, majorettes, and cheerleaders. Besides earning money for a good cause, the football project was fun. A supply desk was also operated by the Student Council during school hours for the convenience of all students. Admissions to dances and also concessions provided the Student Council with needed money. The student council desk offers variety of supplies for the student in need.

Kathy Kuska and Leland Becher were crowned the “Top Hayseeds” of the dance. 74 Janet Hollingshead is the first foreign exchange student, sponsored by the Student Council and various local service organizations, to attend C.H.S. She was born in England, July 23, 1944. While living in East London, South Africa, Jan attended a girls’ high school of five hundred students. Jan and her parents then moved to their present residence, Port Elizabeth has a population of 270,000. For six months Jan attended Rhodes University, located eighty miles from Port Elizabeth, to work on a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English and Latin. Besides speaking English with what she insists is not a British accent at all but a South African accent, she also speaks Afrikaan. She expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to come over to this country by quoting the A.F.S. motto: “Walk together, talk together, O ye people of the earth, for then and only then shall ye have peace. JANET HOLLINGSHEAD Foreign Exchange Students from Korea and South Africa Attend C.H.S. Soo-Hun Chung attended Columbus High School as an International Christian Youth exchange student sponsored by the Methodist Church. Soo-Hun is from South Korea and lives in its capital city, Seoul. He is seventeen years old and is a senior. In Seoul he attended the high school which was with the teachers’ college of the Seoul National University. He learned English in high school, in the Foreign Language Training Center, and from American soldiers stationed in Korea. When Soo-Hun returns to Korea, he plans to study to be an architect. He thinks Americans are very kind, and he will take many of our points of view back to his own country. “I think both 1962 and 1963 are the greatest years in my life. I will not forget this town, the students, the school, and the teachers. The day I leave will be both a happy time and a very sorrowful time. I will miss all the fine times I have had at Columbus High School.” 75 SOO-HUN CHUNG EXECUTIVE BOARD: Janet Kummetz, Marilyn McGrew, Anne Baldwin, Miss Ellen Cahill, Adviser; Jcanetta Swanson, and Beverly Luttmann. Librarians Carry Out Their Duties Well Junior Librarians under the direction of Miss Cahill, have as their motto “service with a smile.” This organization makes possible efficient library facilities for both students and faculty, and Junior Librarians help with circulation routines, shelve books and keep them in order, help students find specific periodicals for references, and type and file catalog cards. The Junior Librarians also have shown outstanding ability in arranging many colorful library displays to call attention to the library. Since Junior Librarians is a service organization, the librarians assist Miss Cahill in clerical routine and also assist students in finding library materials. The main purpose for this organization, however, is the personal development maintained through a better understanding of what books and libraries have to offer and how to use these treasures. Miss Cahill shows Raynelda Juracek how to use the Reader’s Guide in Ending term paper material. OFFICERS President ......... Beverly Luttmann Vice-President . . .

Gives Nebraska Better Farmers Attending a program about irrigation held in the Union Pacific Agricultural car on November 7, the F.F.A. heard three speakers talk on agriculture. Grades received in F.F.A. were based on supervised farming projects, class room work, and shop. Meetings were held the fourth Tuesday of every month and the executive board meets the third Tuesday of each month. In the fall, a corn picking contest was held. The members who wanted, brought five ears of com from irrigated and dry land. They were judged on length, size, and quality. Approximately 15 members participated. Calendars were sold for a money making -project for the organization. On these calendars appeared a group picture of the F.F.A. For a social event, the F.F.A. had a hayrack ride with the F.H.A. Nearly seventy students attended it. F.F.A. also formed a basketball team with two senior boys serving as captains. Practices were held every Thursday night and games were played with other F.F.A. chapters in the state. Another activity of the organization was the S.W.C.D. contest, a public speaking contest, held in December. Nebraska, which is primarily an agricultural state, needs experienced farmers. Future Farmers of America provides this leadership and cooperation and increases student interest in farming. The boys in the organization learn by doing the variety of duties required of a farmer.

Paves the Way to Better Homemaking In full swing with a well organized schedule for the 1962-63 year, the Future Homemakers of America attained one of their most successful years. Programs were planned for each month by the girls. All home economics girls interested in joining the organization were invited to the annual FHA coke party. At this introductory meeting the plans for the week were revealed. Installation and initiation were also held in September. Requirements for membership is that girls may join who are taking home economics or may have taken it. FHA has eight purposes: to promote a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking, to emphasize the importance of worthy home membership, to encourage democracy in home and community life, to work for good home and community life for all, to promote international good will, to foster the development of creative leadership in home and community life, to provide wholesome individual and group recreation, and to further interest in home economics. Miss Elvira Benne, the FHA adviser, directed the girls to a rewarding and successful year in carrying out the organization’s goals. Highlighting the year for the girls were the annual Christmas party and honors banquet. Royalty, who consisted of FFA and FHA members, reigned at the Christmas party. FFA boys chose the queen; FHA girls chose the king. At the honors banquet, special recognition was given to outstanding members of both organizations. BACK ROW: C. Loseke, M. Wallace, J. Anderson, K.

This contest is held annually with the Booster Club. “C” men are truly champions in every respect. Membership is gained by earning a letter in football, basketball, track, or golf. After initiation, the boy is a lifelong member of the club. Being an honorary organization, its main function is to promote, to maintain, and to extend good sportsmanship in sports and in life. It is not the winning or losing of a competitive sport that counts, but the experience gained in competition which will make the boys worthwhile citizens. BACK ROW: L. Hill, J. Bordy, R. Scow, J.

PEP BAND Again this year the ringing sounds of the pep band have contributed spirit and enthusiasm to pep rallies and basketball games. The band, under the direction of Kenneth A.

TIME’’ was the theme of the Senior High School Band concert held in the auditorium on February 18, 19, 20. The program was presented as a T.V. show and was actually on live, closed circuit television. The program of fifteen numbers included many specialty acts, such as the dancing majorettes, swingin’ slides, comet trio with a double-tonguing selection, the drum section — “Drumin’ Thru The Rye,” the french horns, the dancing bass players, carousel clarinetists, the flutes, Genene Kluck — saxophone soloist, and the saxophone quartet. The band year began with marching in the Platte County Fair Parade in September; then it pleased the football crowds at all home games. Next, the bandsmen travelled to AK-SAR-BEN in Omaha and received an excellent rating in the contest. They entered the Class “A” State Marching Contest and took a superior rating for the third straight year. The band received a huge trophy for the school, and band members received individual gold, silver, or bronze medals. They also played for the Veterans Day Program on November 11. Through competitive tryouts, five band members won places in the All-State band in November. These were Genene Kluck, Beverly Loseke, Sandra Ottsen, Mary Rood, and Kay Sinclair. Sandra Ottsen also won a place in the honor band in February at the Hastings College Festival. The band took part in the Mid-East Band Festival at Lincoln Northeast High School on March 22. With all the other instrumental entries, the band entered the District Music Contest held this year at Omaha Westside on April 27. For the eighteenth year, the band was under the direction of Mr. Kenneth A. Johnson. STANDING: J. Hoffman, G. Pittman, C. Gottschalk, D. Herr, T. Holub, M. Brazeal, M. Buss, L. Hill, C. Prentice, J.

BIRDIE. — “But Albert, all they wanted was ‘One Last Kiss!' ” Choir Presents Bye Bye The new, very funny Broadway musical, BYE BYE BIRDIE was presented May 13 and 14 under the direction of Mr. Robert V. Larsen, vocal music instructor. This bright, inventive show, bringing a new look for Columbus audiences, revolves around an Elvis Presley type of singer who is about to be inducted into the army. The singer Conrad Birdie, is taken by his mild-mannered manager Albert Peterson, to Sweet Apple, Ohio, to sing his latest hit and to kiss Kim MacAfee, one of his teenage fans, good-by. It is Rose Grant, Albert’s faithful secretary, who concocts this final national publicity plan before Conrad’s induction. Birdie’s arrival in Sweet Apple sends the town into a spin. The viewpoint of BYE BYE BIRDIE was satirical but not malicious. It gave an insight into the everyday life that is very much part of us. Noteworthy is the fact that it was largely about teenagers who AREN’T juvenile delinquents at all. Birdie As Spring Musical CAST Albert Peterson ..........................

Any student could join the club, but members were only initiated into the national honorary organization after they had earned points by working on the plays and in the Columbus High Troupe. On November 6, the Thespian play, under the capable direction of Miss Karen Lueck, was successfully produced. Exceptionally talented performances by the cast of Arsenic and Old Lace were enjoyed by the audience. Thespian members raised money by selling cookies and candy after school, by selling refreshments during the intermission of plays, and by charging admission to the plays. Outstanding members of the troupe were rewarded for their hard work and meritorious service at the Honors’ Banquet in the spring.

The story revolved around two charitable, spinster sisters who performed the dubious charity of hastening the deaths of lonely old men by giving them a glass of elderberry wine that contained a large dose of arsenic. The plot thickened when the old maids’ nephew Mortimer discovered the body of one of their victims in the windowseat. His task of concealing the truth was made more difficult upon the arrival of his brother Jonathan, who had just escaped from a prison for the criminally insane. Mortimer’s problems became quite complicated when the police arrived in full force. A worried Mortimer, however, saved the day for all.

Our Town By Thornton Wilder The Senior Class of ’63 presented OUR TOWN, a drama of human life, on the evenings of January 28 and 29. The first act of the play described the daily life of the inhabitants of Grover’s Corners, N.H., in the year 1901. The second act was called “Love and Marriage.” It showed the love affair, which developed between George Gibbs and Emily Webb, culminating in a beautiful and moving wedding scene. In the last act the theme of death and eternal life was shown through the eyes of Emily, who attempted to return to life and live it all over again after she had died. With a sudden realization she cried, “Oh, earth, you’re too wonderful for anyone to ever realize you.” “Emily, did you get the third problem?’’ questions George as the stage manager contemplates life.

STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER — Richard Senften Loaded with a stack of papers, members of the Discoverer staff were seen twice a month delivering the papers to the sixth period classes. These Discoverers really have a nose for news. The staff had to work hard to get the job done before the deadlines. Publishing a paper is no easy task. On November 10 and 11, Jane Wilken, Leslie Rowe, Marlene Gripentrog and Dulaine Rabourn attended the Nebraska High School Press Convention in Lincoln. Representing Columbus in the contests at the convention were Jane Wilken, editorial writing; Leslie Rowe, newspaper copyreading and editing; Marlene Gripentrog, advertising. The Discoverer was entered in the printed newspaper contest in the class A division at the Press Convention. This energetic staff also made plans to form a Quill and Scroll Chapter in our school. It is an International Honorary Society for high school journalists. It would be organized to encourage and reward individual achievement in journalism and allied fields. To become a member a person must be a junior or a senior in the upper third of his class. He has to have written thirty inches of copy for the school paper or worked on the annual. Mr. U. S.

Columbus drew first blood in the second period on a 1 yard plunge by Marv Mueller after Larry Hake had recovered a GI fumble on their one yard line. Mel Aemi then booted the extra point which provided the “Discoverers” with a tie. With Mel Aerni leading interference, Leon Fickel turns around the Hastings end for a substantial gain. COLUMBUS TRIMS YORK Columbus “Discoverers” opened the 1962 grid season with a 13—7 Central Ten Conference victory over the York Dukes. Columbus led at halftime 6—0 by an 8 yard pass from Leon Fickel to Stan Krehbiel. Marv Mueller boosted the Columbus lead to 12—0 with a 15 yard run. Steve Heiser added the extra point. DISCOVERERS WALLOP KEARNEY Columbus showed terrific offensive power as they swept past Kearney 32—6. Steve Heiser led the attack as he scored on runs of 67, 7, and 2 yards and passed to Dave Jouvenat for another. The other Columbus touchdown came when Heiser passed to Leon Fickel who then lateralled to Marv Mueller for a 48 yard jaunt. Columbus back Steve Heiser is all alone as he tries to gain yardage around the Crete end. COLUMBUS SURPRISES HASTINGS The “Discoverers” came up with what turned out to be the highlight game of the season by defeating Hastings 19—12. The Maroons marched 65 yards to score after the opening kickoff. Leon Fickel scored the touchdown on a 2 yard keeper. Hastings then tallied twice, but Columbus came back with two more on a pair of 5 yard runs by Steve Heiser. Columbus then held off a last-minute Hastings rally when Larry Hake intercepted a pass on the Columbus ten yard line. CHS TIED BY SCHUYLER Columbus played its second tie ball game of the season at Schuller. Columbus chalked up its first touchdown with Fickel scoring from the one. Schuyler then tallied and took a 7—6 halftime lead. Columbus got back in the lead on a 12 yard burst by Heiser, but the Warriors tied the ball game in the fourth quarter on a 45 yard pass play. The game ended ISIS. FREMONT DEFEATS COLUMBUS With the Big Ten title at stake, the “Discoverers” were looking for a win. As it turned out, their 19—13 loss was their only defeat of the season. Columbus scored first with Heiser finding paydirt on a one yard plunge. Fremont then scored three touchdowns before the “Discoverers” could score again on another plunge by Heiser. Columbus failed to score again. 104 Season 6— I —2 DISCOVERERS EDGE NORFOLK The “Discoverers” bounced back to edge Norfolk by a narrow 7—6 margin. Columbus grabbed a 7—0 lead in the second quarter on a five yard nm by Marv Mueller, who also added the game-winning extra point. After Norfolk scored in the third period, the stubborn “Discoverer” line stopped the extra-point attempt. MAROON AND WHITE ROMP SEWARD The Maroons w'hipped the Seward Bluejays 53—0 in a completely one-sided affair. The game was highlighted by a pair of 90 yard runs by Marv Mueller and Gerald Blasig. Mueller then added another touchdown along with two scored by Don Williamson, and one each by Don Hegi, Steve Heiser, and Mel Aerni. COLUMBUS BELTS CRETE Columbus won the East Central Ten Championship by defeating Crete 28—13 in the final game of the season. Steve Heiser led the Columbus attack by scoring the first touchdown on a one yard plunge and by putting the game on ice in the final quarter on a 53 yard gallop. Stan Krehbiel and Marv Mueller scored the other two Maroon touchdowns on pass plays. Columbus tacklers, Steve Heiser and Don Hegi, close in on a Hastings ball carrier. Columbus High School “Discoverers,” coached by Dell Miller and his assistants — Rodger Majors, Ron Callan, and Marion Bartholomew — rolled up an impressive football record in 1962. Columbus finished second in the East Big Ten Conference and copped the Championship Crown in the East Central Ten Conference. The 6—1—2 record posted by the Maroons is the best since the 1958 East Big Ten Championship Team. The team led all other schools in placing seven players on the East Central Ten All Conference team. Players chosen were Stan Krehbiel, Jim Krumland, Lawrence Hake, Gerald Blasig, Marvin Mueller, Steve Heiser, and Don Hegi. Of these Stan Krehbiel received honorable mention for all state.

Coach Cliff Hopp led his Columbus High School Discoverers to an outstanding 15—1 regular season, the finest they have had in many years. The only loss was a 75—49 shocker from the hands of Norfolk. The Maroons ran away with their two league crowns, winning the East Central Ten by one game and the East Big Ten by three full games. The Discoverers, however, blew an oppening lead to remain unvictorious in three chances for the Big Ten Championship, falling before McCook, 67—64 on the McCook Court. Columbus had the most potent offense in the Big Ten, averaging 67.1 points per game. This offense resulted from a balanced scoring attack led by seniors Stan Krehbiel, Alvin Hulsebus, and Gayle Cattau with 277, 241, and 233 points respectively over regular season play. The rebounding was led by Krehbiel, Hulsebus, and junior Marv Mueller, while Leon Fickel and Cattau assumed the role of field generals for the squad. Backed by a versified scoring attack, Coach Rodger Majors led his Junior Varsity to a fine 11—4 record. Henry Clausen led the scoring with 185 points whil Jay Becker added 138 for second place. The Discoverers drew Norfolk in the opening round of the district tournament held in Norfolk and defeated the Panthers 66—520 The Maroons went on to win the ticket to the state tournament by eliminating Grand Island 61—59. Columbus then drew Scottsbluff for the opening round at Lincoln. After finishing the season with an 18—3 overall mark, Coach Hopp named Gayle Cattau, Leon Fickel, Stan Drehbiel, Alvin Hulsebus as Honorary Captains for the 1962-1963 season. We went as far as the “semifinals” in the State Tournament this year.

The Discoverers were a well-balanced team with the scoring being evenly distributed. In the sprints were Don Williamson, Matt Fleischer, and two promising sophomores, Terry Miller and Bill Berry. Bruce EickhofF was always a contender in the 440 while Jack McGrew, Lawrence Hake, Jim McElfresh, and Henry Clausen were the half-milers. The mile event was en- tered by seniors Bill Doan and Dan Condreay. Juniors Mel Aerni and Marv Mueller were the hurdlers for the Discoverers. In the field events, John Olson, Roger Meier, and Jim Krumland handled the shotput and discus. Mueller and Williamson did the broad-jumping and Mueller also high jumped. Columbus looked forward to having excellent relay teams and to being a state contender in the two-mile relay event. MATT FLEISCHER Sprints BRUCE EICKHOFF 440 JIM KRUMLAND Weights 113 Links Team Looks Coach Cliff Hopp watches promising sophomore John Ziegenbein practice his drives. Under the direction of Coach Cliff Hopp, the 1963 golf team took to the links with unbounded enthusiasm. With three returning lettermen in Lairy Loomis, Gayle Cattau, and Tim Kathka and being helped out by a good crop of underclassmen, the “Discoverers” looked forward to a fine season. Practice began in early April at the local Wayside Country Club, giving the golfers two to three weeks to warm up before the first meet at Norfolk. Duals and triangulars with teams such as Norfolk, Fremont, Grand Island, Seward, York, and Schuyler gave the boys a full and varied slate. In the previous season, Columbus compiled an excellent 6 won and 1 lost record plus winning the Central Ten Championship. The Discoverers’ record included wins over Seward, 12j 2—2 2; Norfolk, 10—2; Central City, 11—1; Grand Island, 7J4 —5 2; York 11—1; Schuyler, 5 2—2 2; and felt their only loss of the season at the hands of Fremont, 6 2—8 2 in the final meet of the year.

LETTERMAN — Tim Kathka 115 LETTERMAN — Gayle Cattau LETTERMAN — Lairy Loomis Gathering wind from increased enrollment, Columbus High sailed to an impressive year. Athletics flourished and produced fine football, basketball, track, tennis, and golf teams. Interested students worked long and hard to make their productions a smashing success. Accordingly, all productions, both musical and dramatical, were outstanding and attended by large crowds. An active Student Council sponsored many fine dances and other projects, such as a girls’ football game and a jalopywrecking event. Foreign exchange students from Korea and South Africa brought to Columbus High ideas from their native country and put new interest on world affairs. French was added to the curriculum in addition to a new language laboratory. Physical education was required of all sophomore students. All in all, new and old friends, teachers, sad and happy times, various events — games, dances, plays, rallies, and convocations —, crazy things one did, made the school year of 1962 -1963 a very enjoyable one. 117 These Advertisers Helped Sponsor This Admiring some of the GENERAL TELEPHONE COMPANY'S new styles of telephones are Jim Orr, Janice Frey, and Dave Switzer.
