DISCOVERER Columbus Senior High School Columbus, Nebraska 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ............... 1-5 ADMINISTRATION..............8-11 CLASSES................... 14-47 DEPARTMENTS .............. 52-61 ORGANIZATIONS ........... 64-101 ATHLETICS .............. 104-119 ADVERTISING ............ 122-131 INDEX .................. 131-136 School is an intriguing experience. It takes many years to gain a good education, yet each of these years is strangely different from the preceding one. For each student at CHS, this year was no exception. It was a year for new friends and, unfortunately for some, new enemies. It was full of successes and failures, victories and defeats. There was much laughter and a few tears. All of this, the good and the bad, were a part of the year at CHS. EDITOR ROGER FIELDER BUSINESS MANAGER TERRY BRAZEAL LAYOUT MANAGER JANET BALLEW ADVISER MISS ELEANORE LIMES 4 New classes and sports added new challenges for some while the old curriculum seemed too much for others. School spirit ran high as teams were victorious or as they were conquered. Individual accomplishments were not overlooked. All were combined to make CHS a school of which to be proud. All was not happiness in this eventful year. Our country was struck by a disaster that sickened the hearts of every true American. Our valiant leader was assassinated by a single word—hate. Yes, this too was a part of CHS. A sad part, but a part which has made better Americans of us all. 5 MR. J. P. YOUNG SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS MR. WILLIAM N. FLOYD PRINCIPAL MR. DELBERT E.

Miller Seniors Recall High School Days Seniors worked diligently and participated actively in nearly all organizations. From morning until night they worked to support CHS. Early in the morning band members rehearsed music and cheerleaders practiced yells. Paper and annual stafF members attempted to make the best paper and annual ever. The annual staff often returned at night to meet deadline dates. In order to make their plays and operettas a success, cast members rehearsed long hours at night to polish their productions. Athletic boys strove to lead their teams to victory. Some students received honors. Jean Sommer meyer was named the winner of a four year Regents Scholarship. Alternates were Joyce Avery, Terry Brazeal, Juanita Dade, Jennie Deden, Bruce Eickhoff, Roger Fielder, Eugene Gehring, Nancy Heibel, Leslie Hcllbusch, John McGrew, Lillian Mcschke, Darrell Meyer, and Ronald Plageman. Semi-finalists for the National Merit Scholarship test were Terry Brazeal and Jean Sommermeyer. Although some students went unrecognized, they had a personal satisfaction. For many senior's, competitive sports ended. For others it was the last time they would participate in many activities. Some events, however, would be well remembered. On May 8 the Junior-Senior Prom was held; Baccalaureate was May 24. The year came to an end with Commencement, May 25, after which each senior prepared to go his own way—some were college bound; others desired the best job available. The Class of 1964 would now be separated, but the memories of the years would never be forgotten.

No, this isn’t a new form of hopscotch. It’s just that Diana Lichtenfeld doesn’t appreciate having her toes stepped on, especially while in such a formal state of dress. 48 Social Studies Teaches Past To Better Our Future A study of historic and current events comprised the curriculum of the Social Studies Department. Its aim was to show-students how our culture has advanced from the simple life of prehistoric man to the challenging events in modem civilization. Modern problems stressed the importance of informed dedicated citizens. Among the many topics studied were capitalism, communism, personality development, banking and insurance. American history is required of all juniors. It is designed to show the importance of the establishment of our democratic form of government. Many students participated in County Government Day on Thursday, February 13. This participation gave them an opportunity to learn of actual government practices. World history students studied the evolution of modern civilization. It was concerned basically with the problems man has had to solve as civilization has grown to cover the entire earth. Mr. Knowles was one of the student teachers who taught at Columbus Senior High this year. He taught both United States history and modern problems. County Government Day is a chance for members of the junior class elected to county offices to see how a government actually functions. The busy day always starts with the registration of all students. 52 Math And Science Are Bases Of Space Age Experiments in chemistry must be carried out with a high degree of accuracy if one is to correctly understand the chemical makeup of the elements of our universe. Math and science, perhaps the most difficult courses in the school’s curriculum, are directed to the college-bound student. In this space age, more and more jobs are being centered around math and science. To meet this challenge, the school must teach the fundamental phases of these subjects. In the Mathematics Department, geometry, algebra, and trigonometry challenge the intellect of the keen student by confronting him with formulas, logarithms, graphs, and slide rule computation. In the Science Department, biology, physics, and chemistry offer an excellent introduction to the major areas of science. Biology students completed various projects during the year. These included the construction of the complete skeletal system of a dog and a study of the effects of malnutrition in a hamster. Physics and chemistry students conducted many experiments concerning gravity and the elements. A microscope is an indispensable instrument when searching for organisms that are invisible to the naked eye. The laws of sines and cosines arc just two of the many laws which must be learned in the study of trigonometry. Many times a detailed explanation of these laws is needed for the student to understand them fully. 53 Questions of correct word usage can easily be answered after the complete sentence has been diagramed on the blackboard. Knowledge Requires Correct Grammar A good understanding of English is necessary for every student. The objectives of this department are to develop skills in written and oral expression, to increase vocabulary, and to cultivate a taste for reading good literature. In addition to essays and themes, many book reports are required throughout the year. Speech is offered to students who desire to learn skills of public speaking, debate and discussion, oral interpretation, and the theater. Some students enter speech contests including the Voice of Democracy Contest, State and Regional Oratorical Contests and the Knights of Pythias Contest. The skills learned in speech enable a student to express himself effectively and clearly at all times. A new method of teaching vocabulary words was tried this year. Through the use of vocabulary workbooks, the students learned to recognize the meanings of words from context. “Federalized Medical Care” was the national debate question of the year. Through debating this topic, students in the speech classes learned the criteria which make up a good debate. Miss Judith Henggler, who joined the CHS faculty in the English Department at the beginning of the second semester, has been instrumental in arousing interest in debate at CHS. Commercial Skills Careful preparation and expert guidance must go into each assignment in bookkeeping. Typing is one of the most valuable assets a college-bound student may obtain. Lead To Office Jobs Commercial courses offered girls a working knowledge of typing and shorthand. These girls learned to take dictation quickly through the use of many short cuts. Because speed and accuracy are essential in any business, the girls were required to master 40 words per minute in typing and 80 words per minute in shorthand. Not only business majors found commercial courses valuable. Many students, especially those planning on a college education, took personal typing for their own benefit. They learned to type letters of all kinds, reports, and themes. Bookkeeping gave experience in keeping balance sheets, journals, and ledgers. Accuracy is of utmost importance in this subject. Learning to mimeograph neat and correct copies is a must to any serious-minded commercial student. These girls gain valuable experience from on-the-spot office training as they work in the high school office. 55 Boys taking the newly organized Machine Shop have the finest machinery with which to work. This milling machine is one of the most complicated to master. Industrial Arts department consisted of various branches. Machine Shop was offered for the first time at CHS. This branch is organized to give students a better understanding of the processes and applications necessary for industry. Students learn advanced , welding including AC-DC welding and heliara welding which concerns the use of steel and aluminum. The machine-shop student must learn to work with blueprints, make the proper layouts, and machine the object to a given tolerance. General Shop gives an exploratory background to applications in industry. The main objective is to develop skills in the handling and operating of tools. One branch is woodworking in which students make various pieces of furniture including chairs and tables. General Shop offers each student a background in working with metal, plastic, and leather. The basic purpose of Mechanical Drawing is to read blueprints and to interpret and make drawings. Among other things, Mechanical Drawing students study lettering, free hand pictorial drawing, and geometrical constructions. 56 Boys in Wood Shop are taught to use certain woodworking machinery which makes their projects take shape much faster. Donna Bchlen and Jolene Sicfkcn find that a well-stocked refrigerator is essential to the modem homemaker. Home Economic classes seek to provide experience in the many phases of homemaking to sophomore and senior girls. With modern equipment, the girls practice the duties which will be theirs as future housewives. Among the many phases of home economics undertaken during the year are cooking, sewing, textiles, housing, child care, home and money management, and personality development. Vocational Agriculture boys prepare for the future when they will become the farmers of America. To reach this goal, agriculture students study a wide variety of topics—livestock and crop production, marketing, farm financing, taxes, insurance, and soil management and conservation. In addition, students study rural electrification, irrigation, and farm law and farm management. Vocational Students Receive Sewing is a major part of any home economics course. Here, Lenorc Berends, and Jackie Mihulka are watching Carol Coles add the finishing touches to a new dress. Practical Experience Teaching better farming methods is the major goal of Vocational Agriculture. This grain-and-hay cattle feeder shows the building ability which students develop throughout the year. 57 Class conversations by the students under the guidance of the teacher leads the way to a working knowledge of the Spanish language. Four Foreign Languages Offered This Year At CFIS The language laboratory is a complicated and very valuable asset in learning any modern-day language. It gives the student a chance to acquire the accent as well as the knowledge of the language. Foreign languages are of major importance to CHS students. In addition to Spanish, French, and Latin, German was added to the curriculum. All languages help build a better English vocabulary. Latin, the basic language for studying other languages, helps the student better understand the structure of his own language by learning the grammatical structure of Latin. The $12,000 language laboratory was employed to its fullest extent and all modern language classes used the audio-linguo method which enabled a student to learn a language by listening to tapes made by people who have the native accent of each modern foreign language. The language students learn the correct pronunciation by repeating these words and phrases until the student has the pronunciation very similar to that of the native language. The main purpose of the language department is to teach a basic vocabulary, knowledge of grammatical structure in foreign languages, and a better cultural understanding of the country. 58 German Added To Curriculum “Learn by doing” is the practical way of learning a foreign language. Conjugations were learned by drill at the blackboard in Latin. “Bonjour, Madam!” Students carry on conversation in French class daily. By constantly writing these phrases, they learn to speak French. German, in its first year, attracted many students. This class listens to the pronunciation on a record as they follow along in their books. 59 Driver Ed Teaches Safety Knowing the fundamental parts of an automobile and how they function may someday save a costly repair bill or even a life. To train safe and skilled drivers for our highways is the basic purpose of Driver Education. To prepare for this big responsibility the instructor begins by teaching the basic skills. Because some students have never driven before, the course must contain every phase of driving. Two periods each week are spent studying the major parts of a car and their function, the proper care of a car, and safety rules and regulations. More time is devoted to driving the car in town, in the country, and on the highway. Phys Ed Promotes Physical Fitness Physical Education became a required course for all sophomore and junior students. Calisthenics were stressed and started each class period. The boys participated in various activities. These included flag football, basketball, wrestling, archery, horseshoes, soft-ball, tumbling, trampoline, swimming, and bars. Activity for the girls was composed of less strenuous games. In addition to basketball and soccer, girls participated in rhythmics, deck tennis, and archery. Both groups participated in co-ed volleyball and square dancing. They also took several physical endurance tests. The world of gymnastics presents a new set of equipment and terms which must be mastered before one can enter the ranks of a good gymnast. It takes determination and coordination to complete a vault such as this one. 60 Guidance Department Offers Trained Supervision Under Mr. Heald’s direction, Cathy Galley and Yvonne Earl process many individual records and test grades and handle any other paper work which may be involved with the Guidance Department. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Harlan Heald, the guidance department supervises the vocational, educational, and personal development of each individual student. The department seeks to guide each student into a suitable career and gives information on colleges and scholarships. It sponsors an annual college night during which representatives of various colleges and universities speak about the advantages and costs of attending their respective schools. It also helps the student in any personal problem he may have and offers counseling for both students and parents. A key function of the guidance department is the testing program. It supervises the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, Regents Examination, P.S.A.T., Kudor Vocational Preference Test, and others. Records of each students’ individual files and potential are kept by the guidance staff. In addition, students may obtain correspondence courses through this department. Mr. Heald’s office files contain many records and facts which are essential to any college applicant. The Regents Examination is just one of several intelligence and vocational tests offered to high school students by the guidance department. 61 Dulaine Rabourn And Marvin Mueller Crowned ’63-’64 Home- coming Royalty HOMECOMING QUEEN AND KING DuLaine Rabourn and Marvin Mueller October 11, 1963 ATTENDANTS—Gerald Blasig and Joan Clausen, Roger Abel and Bonnie Knight, Roger Meier and Ann Oppliger, Robert Scow and Kay Swan. 64 Pirkko Reigns As Snow Queen SNOW QUEEN Pirkko Tammivuori January 4, 1964 65 Hasek, McGrew Ascend Sweetheart Throne SWEETHEART KING AND QUEEN John McGrew and Carolyn Hasek February 29, 1964 ATTENDANTS Larry Langan Stephanie Floyd ATTENDANTS John Kennedy Yvonne Earl ATTENDANTS Mary Beth Peterson Mark Anderson 66 Dances Add Variety To Social Calendar 67 Sweetheart, February 29, 1964 BACK ROW: S.

Booster Club Cheers Maroon EXECUTIVE BOARD—Linda Abegglen, Ann Oppliger, Karen Phillips, Miss Diane Dempewolf, adviser; Marilyn McGrew. To cheer the Discoverers on to victory is the goal of the Booster Club. Over two hundred strong, members showed active participation and tremendous spirit. The enthusiastic girls made posters, held pep rallies, sponsored bus trips, and operated the concession stand for basketball games. Since the girls won the annual season football ticket sales, the football boys sponsored a dance for the girls. Homecoming was the highlight of the year with Marvin Mueller and DuLaine Rabourn crowned as royalty and reigning at the dance following the game. Attendants were Roger Abel, Gerald Blasig, Roger Meier, Robert Scow, Joan Clausen, Bonnie Knight, Ann Oppliger, and Kay Swan. Working on a merit system, girls earned merits by working on committees, making posters, and attending games. Girls earning 500 merits received a chevron. The member who earned the most merits became star member. BACK ROW: K. Foehlinger, T. Ellenburg, M. Dubas, J. Frey, C. Duranski, J. Deden, P. Coffey, C. Gottschalk, G. Dory, S. Greene, L. Eilcrs, D.

Terry Brazeal Adviser................. Mr. Kenneth Miller Serving as a subsidiary group to the Booster Club, the Boys’ Pep Club provided enthusiasm and boosted school morale. The group came into existence in the 1962-1963 school year. The idea for a Boys’ Pep Club came into being in, of all places, an algebra class. During their spare moments, a group of industrious junior boys decided that the boys of CHS were not being as much a part of the school spirit as they should be. The best way to arouse spirit was to form an organization for the boys. Throughout the remainder of the year, they functioned as an un-sponsored organization. It was so successful that it became a subsidiary to the Girls’ Booster Club under the sponsorship of Mr. Kenneth Miller. Dressed in white shirts and maroon and white beanies, the sixty-nine boys worked in a spontaneous manner, composing cheers on the spur-of-the-mo-ment. The catchy cheers were a hit not only with CHS rooters but also with the fans of opposing teams. Many times they tried to outdo the boys with their own improvised cheers. Usually a cheering contest ensued with the Boys’ Pep Club coming out on top. The Boys’ Booster Club has enthusiastic plans for the future, and their goal is to cheer their teams on to victory at every game. BACK ROW: R. Plageman, D. Peck, L. Simpson, M. Mueller, J.

FFA Promotes Agricultural Leadership Future Farmers of America carried out many projects and activities which resulted in ,an exceptionally good year. In every project the boys carried out their motto: Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, living to serve. Their main goal was to promote rural agricultural leadership, citizenship, and cooperation. Any boy who is taking vocational agriculture may join FFA. There are four degrees for active membership based upon achievement. In order for a freshman to earn the greenhand degree, he must learn the creed, be enrolled in vocational agriculture, and plan for a supervised farm program. Upper classmen strive for Chapter farmer award which is the highest degree that only one of one thousand boys is able to attain. FFA participated in many judging contests including livestock, swine, and beef judging. They also took part in a land-judging contest at Neligh. On August 30, boys exhibited projects at the county fair, and some exhibited their projects at the state fair. In addition to these projects, FFA boys sold farm journals, garden seed, and participated in district contests. Gayle Mueller won the area public speaking contest on soil and water conservation. In October, the officers attended a national convention in Kansas City. Highlighting the social affairs was a Parents’ night and the Christmas Banquet at which a king and queen were selected. During National FFA week, February 15-22, members distributed FFA place mats to restaurants. BACK ROW: Mr. Ralph Eickhoff, Adviser; D. Janssen, L. Rupp, D. Rickert, D. Inselman, L. Wurdeman, R.

After weeks of enthusiastic practice, the Girls’ Football Game was held on October 8. Divided into two teams, the CHS girls showed their acquired skill of flag football. A band, majorettes, and cheerleaders were composed of boys. High point of the evening was the “Comehoming” ceremony during which Suzanne Viergutz was crowned king and Gary Fouraker, queen. In addition to sponsoring monthly dances and after-the-game mixers, the Student Council upheld the traditional “Ho-Down,” Snow Dance, and Sweetheart dances. Another social highlight was Twirp Week. Twenty-three members attended the Nebraska Student Council State Convention in Scottsbluff, November 8 and 9. Prior to the Christmas holidays, an inspirational Christmas songfest was held in the Commons. The Student Council strongly supported the American Field Service exchange program; and to finance the program, members held car washes, managed the supply desk, and held a baby-picture contest in which Suzanne Viergutz and Roger Abel were bibbed the “diaper darlings.” The AFS representative was Pirkko Tammivuori, an exchange student from Finland. This year’s AFS student abroad was Sandra Ottsen, who is attending school in Braunschweig, West Germany. The Council also worked with various community groups to support the project to send an American abroad. 74 “Come on gang, let’s go,’’ yell a few of the daintier members of the Cheerleading set at the annual girls’ flag football game. Surrounded by an air of regal splendor, Suzanne Viergutz and Gary Fouraker are crowned Comehoming King and Queen. There seems to be some confusion in the backficld as the “red” team is nailed for a loss. 75 Pirkko Tammivuori is the second American Field Service student to attend CHS. Pirkko was bom on May 14, 1946, and lives in Jyvaskyla, Finland. After returning to Finland, she will have two years of school yet to complete. In addition to speaking her native language, Pirkko also speaks English, Swedish, German, and French. Her father is a businessman; and she has one sister, two brothers, a dog, and a maid. Her family lives in an apartment in Jyvaskyla. Pirkko stated, “After returning to Finland, I shall often long for Columbus, her people, her school, and her activities. I will never forget them. I am very happy to have this wonderful experience of spending a great year in America.” Sandra Ottsen, a 1963 CHS graduate, was the AFS student from Columbus. She attended school in Braunschweig, Germany, only miles from the East German border. European Exchange Students Promote International Understanding At CHS Helmut Klemm is an International Christian Youth Exchange student sponsored by the Methodist Church. He is the second ICYE student to attend Columbus Senior High School. Helmut is from Rheinkamp-Uffort, Germany, a suburb of Duesseldorf. After having attended elementary school for five years, Helmut attended a parochial high school for seven years. His present German school is Gymnasium Adolfinum. Upon returning to Germany and finishing his regular schooling, Helmut plans to receive further education in Japan or New Zealand. His ambition is to become a linguist. Helmut expressed his gratitude for the opportunity of spending a year in America and added that he would always remember the experiences of 1963-1964. While Helmut lived in Columbus, Steven Sipes, a 1963 CHS graduate, made his home in Germany with Helmut’s parents. 76 PIRKKO TAMMIVUORI Jyvaskyla, Finland OFFICERS EXECUTIVE BOARD—BACK ROW: Diana Blaser, Nancy Abraham, LaVae Meyer.

The group worked on many community service projects which included contributing to the Opportunity Center, painting school doors, and collecting white cloths for cancer. They also furnished refreshments at election centers. Membership in FHA is open to girls who have taken home economics or are taking it. Highlighting the year was the annual Christmas party. Royalty consisting of FFA and FHA members reigned at the party. The girls also held a Golden Age party for their grandparents. Jean Treadway was named winner of the local Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow contest. She was awarded a pin, and her entry was sent to the state contest. Future Homemakers of America have 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.

The twenty-eight bandsmen, wearing white sweaters and dark skirts or slacks, offered a variety of spirited tunes from college “fight songs” to “Sweet Georgia Brown.” The pep band was a welcome sight at all home basketball games. SYMPHONETTE Composed of thirty band members, the sympho-nette made several appearances this year. They rendered selections for the Apollo Club Christmas concert and also for the Junior Show. On February 17 and 18 they played several selections for the Band Spectacular. This group is very distinctive in appearance for they always appear in formal attire. SYMPHONETTE—ST A NDING: M.

'Band Spectacular” “Band Spectacular” was the theme of the Senior High School Band Concert held in the auditorium on February 17 and 18. The program, full of variety and fun, included classical music, cornet trio selections, alto saxophone and chimes solos, specialty numbers by the cornet section, novelties, such as the Bassa Nova dancers and a Hootenanny with its three specialty trios in costumes. The show concluded with spectacular marching and dancing in the aisles as well as on the stage. Last September the band led the Platte County Fair parade and played at the dedication of the new post office. The half-time performances at the home football games were enjoyed by all. They marched at the University of Nebraska Band Day in October and entered the State Marching Contest in early November. Here the heavy rehearsal schedule paid off as the band won a superior in Class A for the fourth straight year. They received a huge gold trophy and individual medals. On November 11, they provided music at the Veterans’ Day program. Three bandsmen won places in the All-State Band and Orchestra in November at Kearney. They were Karen Badje and Gene Applegate in band and Lillian Meschke in orchestra. After the February concert the band members took part in the Mid-East Band Festival at York. In addition, twenty-two of our members won positions in the All-Festival Band which also performed at the occasion. At the April music contest in Bellevue, the band, six ensembles, and four soloists were entered. In May the four bands of the Columbus City Schools presented “Bandorama.” This program presented the High School Concert Band, the Junior High Cadet Band, the seventh grade band and the combined grade school band.

The Vocal Music Department of Columbus Senior High School, under the direction of Mr. Robert V. Larsen, scored another in its succession of hits with a rollicking presentation of this year’s musical ANNIE GET YOUR GUN on May 11 and 12. The plot of ANNIE is actually based rather closely on historical fact. In the 1890’s, the greatest attraction of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show was Frank Butler, champion sharpshooter. He unexpectedly meets his Waterloo in Annie Oakley, a backwoods girl. In a contest with Frank, staged on the grounds of a summer hotel, she beats him when he misses one shot, but at the same time she falls hopelessly in love with him. To be near him, she accepts a job as Frank’s assistant in Buffalo Bill’s show. Buffalo Bill finds that he is going broke; and to make matters worse, his rival, Pawnee Bill, is playing in a nearby city. Buffalo Bill, together with his manager Charlie Davenport, persuades Annie to present the sensational shooting act she has been saving to surprise Frank. This completely overshadows Frank’s act; and furious, he calls off their romance, leaves Buffalo Bill’s show, and joins forces with Pawnee Bill. Through the help of Sitting Bull, Annie realizes “You Can’t Get A Man With A Gun” and lets Frank win the shooting match. Annie joyfully shoots and misses again and again, so Annie and Frank become partners in the show as well as partners in romance. 86 CAST Annie Oakley . . .

Tam- The National Thespian Society is an organization established for the advancement of dramatic arts in high school. Thespian Troupe 529 was composed of over ninety students who were interested in acting and play production. They met every first and third Monday nights after school. Under the capable leadership of Mrs. Janet Mahood, the first play of the season, You Can’t Take It With You, was produced on November 5. Emphasis was placed on the point system, and fifty points were required to become an initiated Thespian. Those earning extra points received stars, and two hundred fifty points received the coveted honor bar. Members raised money by selling cookies and candy at “goodie sales” held every Tuesday and by charging admission to plays. In the spring an awards banquet was held during which recognition was given to the outstanding members of Thespians. At this time the best actor and actress of the season were presented with awards. Just before the curtain opens, Ken Cooley prepares to dim the house lights with the “grand master” on the light panel. 89 Decorating the set for You Can’t Take It With You is the primary interest of Ken Cooley and Gerry Gengen-bach. Penny Sycamore, Jennie Deden; Essie Carmichael, Kathleen Kuska; Ed Carmichael, Lann Simpson; Mr. Kalen-khov, Thomas Holub; Martin Vanderhoff, Terry Brazeal; three G-Men, Leslie Hellbuseh, Randy Nitz, Bruce Eick- hoff; Anthony Kirby, Douglas Milboum; Mrs. Kirby, Karen Krumland; Alice Sycamore, Stephanie Floyd; Anthony Kirby, Jr., Bruce Becher. You Can’t Take It With You By Kaufman And Hart Thespian Troupe 529 scored another rollicking success on November 4 and 5 as they presented the fast-moving comedy, YOU CAN T TAKE IT WITH YOU. This is a story about the slightly insane Sycamore family. All members of the family, except sweet and beautiful Alice, have a variety of idiosyncrasies which touch off a riotous string of events. Poor Alice must contend with these oddities as she tries to impress the pompous and sophisticated parents of her fiance. The confusion heightens as a tax collector arrives to demand forty-six years of back income tax from Grandpa. The house is then invaded by a deported Russian Grand Duchess, who makes her living as a waitress, and by three overbearing FBI agents. In the end, only Grandfather’s wisdom and quick thinking avoid panic and heartbreak as the play draws to a hilarious close.

The Barretts Of Wimpole Street By Besier THE BARRETTS OF WIMPOLE STREET deals with the love affair of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning. In the play Elizabeth described herself as “one already wounded in the battle.” Elizabeth’s battle for a life of her own is the “heart” of this play. She had to overcome an autocratic father who had an insane jealousy of his children’s friends, especially Elizabeth’s friends. She had always thought it was his love for his family which caused the almost daily scenes and his extraordinary attitude toward marriage. When she met Robert, she was physically ill, and, through his love for her, she grew stronger daily and became better able to cope with her family situation. Finally, she discovered that she must leave her family and marry Robert to attain happiness. Elizabeth triumphed over her “wounded self” and earned the praise in Browning’s words “wounded but undaunted.” A family portrait from the BARRETT family album.

To create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school, home, and community is the purpose of the Hi-Y club. The basic goal of the Hi-Y program is to help the boys maintain clean speech, clean sportsmanship, and clean living. In addition, the club seeks to develop strong leadership qualities. Calling for high scholarship, moral worth, physical health, and unselfish service, the group encourages members to work together for a definite cause. Any boy who accepts the purposes of Hi-Y and works with other members to carry out its goals is welcome. Hi-Y is primarily a service club, but a few social functions are held every year. Providing officials for the little league basketball games at the YMCA is one of its services. During the football season, Hi-Y boys sell concessions with members of FHA as a money-making project. They also help the handicapped from the Opportunity Center learn to swim at the YMCA pool. Composing the Columbus representatives who attended the Hi-Y model legislature in Lincoln on December 6 and 7 were Leslie Hellbusch, Bruce Eickhoff, and Richard Folken. Hi-Y members Bob Senften and John Kennedy teach students how to swim in the YMCA pool. One of the many projects this year was teaching the handicapped from the Columbus Opportunity Center to swim. 93 EDITOR Roger Fielder LAYOUT MANAGER Janet Ballew BUSINESS MANAGER Terry Brazeal ADVISER—Miss Eleanore Limes Annual Staff Recalls The ultimate goal of the annual staff is to preserve memories of high school days. Every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights, the staff worked diligently typing copy, drawing layouts, proofreading, and performing many other duties. It attempted to make the annual a record of all students, organizations, and school activities. The greatest aim of the staff was to publish the best annual ever. A member of the Nebraska High School Press Association, National Scholastic Press Association, and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, the annual is a project of the senior class. With the exception of the assistant editor, assistant business manager, and assistant layout manager, all staff members are seniors. They are chosen by the elected members of the staff and Miss Limes, annual adviser. On Friday, November 1, several staff members attended the Nebraska High School Press Convention in Lincoln. Representing Columbus were Roger Fielder, layout; James Prentice, yearbook organization; Patricia Lutjelusche and Stephen Taylor, copywriting. Editor Roger Fielder presided at the opening session of the convention. In March a contest was administered by Wayne College. The first place winner of each district was invited to attend Silver Key in May. At this time another contest was held at the University of Nebraska at which time awards were presented to the state winners.

To provide current news and feature articles to the student body was the purpose of the staff who worked diligently to meet deadlines. Production involved the assigning and writing of stories, proofreading, and the final typing. Classes were kept busy interviewing people and covering current events in an attempt to make the newspaper more than a chronicle. Among the many projects of the journalism class were the football programs, basketball programs, and the student directory. The group had its own photography class and learned to develop and print its own pictures. In addition, several members attended the Nebraska High School Press Convention in Lincoln on Friday, November 1. Representing Columbus at the convention were DeAnn Garbers, newspaper writing, layout, and techniques in writing; Karen Phillips, feature writing; Carolyn Hasek, advertising; and Karen Johnson, newspaper public relations. 96 DISTRIBUTION MANAGER—Susan Louis NEWS WRITER—Gay Gaver EDITOR—DeAnn Garbers Of All Events CO-MANAGING EDITORS—Donna Verrips and DuLainc Rabourn.

Efficient library service was made possible by the Junior Librarians, a service group to the school. These ambitious members rendered assistance to both students and faculty in finding and checking out books and other library materials. Each librarian worked for at least one period a day. Among their many duties were the indexing and filing of catalog cards and the she King of books. In addition, they helped with circulation routines. The members also planned colorful display windows to emphasize the importance of the library and earned extra points for service. Those earning the most points received pins and guards. Regular meetings were held on alternate Thursday afternoons after school, and the librarians, under the direction of Miss Cahill, received lessons in library procedures. During Book Week, November 10—16, a Book Fair was held. Five hundred books in various fields from academic to entertainment were on sale to students. The purpose of the fair was to encourage students to build their own private libraries. Dwight Hellmers, Cheryl Goering, and Linda Staub scan the encyclopedias to find a short account of the French Revolution.

Headed by William Fyfe, the projection crew is responsible for the scheduling and showing of films. Among the duties of crew members are operating the projector, caring for the machine, and splicing films. To assist the instructor is the duty of the shop foremen. They are responsible for checking out supplies and taking roll. The main responsibility of the stage crew is maintenance of the stage.

The initial touchdown of the season was garnered on a 30 yard play when Bob Hegi threw a pass to Roger Abel who lateraled to Roger Woodrick. Scow then scored a touchdown on a one yard plunge while Mueller added another on a 67 yard pass from Hegi. The other Columbus tally was on a four yard pass from Scow to Abel. COLUMBUS CRUSHES OMAHA NORTH The Maroons won their second game of the season while displaying tremendous offensive power as they defeated the North Vikings 26—6. Terry Miller, a junior scatback, scored three thouchdowns and passed for another in the rugged game. Miller’s runs were from 8,2, and 3 yards, and his pass to Roger Abel covered 69 yards. Columbus had led 13—0 at the half. Blocking spells success as Marv Mueller heads for paydirt. JUNIOR VARSITY COACH Marion Bartholomew DISCOVERERS NIP KEARNEY Columbus came from behind twice to edge the Kearney Bearcats 14—13 for their third win of the season. Bob Hegi scored first from the two yard line and Marv Mueller added the extra point, after Columbus had driven from its own 5 yard line. Hegi passed to Mueller for the second touchdown on a play that covered 53 yards. Mueller also added the second and decisive extra point. ISLANDERS EDGE DISCOVERERS Grand Island defeated the “Discoverers” 20—19 in the first East Big Ten game of the season for Columbus. Columbus scored first, but from there on the two teams alternated touchdowns, with the Islanders making one more extra point. Marv Mueller scored two Columbus touchdowns on a 6 yard plunge and a 64 yard pass play from Bob Hegi. The third touchdown was a 90 yard kickoff return by Hegi, after which Steve DeWitt’s placement was through the uprights. COLUMBUS BLASTS HASTINGS The “Discoverers” easily defeated the Hastings Tigers 31—0 for their first conference win. Marv Mueller’s was the thorn in the Tiger’s paw as he scored four touchdowns. Two of Mueller’s touchdowns were on runs of 3 yards and 52 yards. The other two came on passes from Bob Hegi, one for 32 yards and the other a 65 yard spectacular. Terry Miller scored the only other touchdown on an 11 yard run. COLUMBUS AVENGES SCHUYLER The Maroon and White romped past the Warriors of Schuyler and enjoyed sweet revenge for last year’s embarrassing tie. Marv Mueller again was the stalwart in the Columbus backfield, scoring all four touchdowns. Mueller’s touchdowns were from the 1, 108 To Halt Discoverers Student Managers John Erwin, Mike Oglevie, Mark Anderson, and Richard Gordan sort the mounds of equipment at the end of the season. ALL-STATE BACK Marvin Mueller the 7, and the 6 yard line, topped off by a 41 yard run. Gerald Blasig’s usual outstanding defensive play resulted in an opening quarter safety and a 2—0 lead. The final score was 28—0. Coach Dell Miller’s “Discoverers” ended the season with a 7—2 record despite playing a heavier schedule with more Class “A” teams. The most notable victory was a 26—6 victory over tough Omaha North. While completely shellacking most of their opponents, the “Discoverers” two losses were by close margins. Aiding Coach Miller were assistant coaches Ron Callan, Marion Bartholemew, and coach Rodger Majors. Columbus rolled up 2,027 yards compared to the opponents 1,337 yards. The Maroons averaged 2,225 yards per game, compared to the opponents 149 per game. Senior Marvin Mueller received the Bob Murray Memorial Award and was an all-state back. Outstanding defensive work was turned in by lineman Roger Meier and linebacker Gerald Blasig. FREMONT BLANKS COLUMBUS Fremont turned a 60 yard intercepted pass into a 7—0 victory over the “Discoverers” and spoiled Columbus’ chances for the East Big Ten Title. Although the Maroons garnered more first downs and totaled more yards, the “breaks” were not on their side. The biggest scoring threat came in the third quarter when the “Discoverers” moved the ball to the Fremont 15 yard line with Bill Bomberg-er carrying the load. The Stubborn Fremont defense quelled the rush at this point, however. COLUMBUS BURIES NORFOLK Columbus demonstrated a rugged ground attack while running wildly over the Panthers of Norfolk 34—7. Senior Marv Mueller displayed his usual form and versatility while scoring three touchdowns from 4,6, and 9 yards, and passed to end Ron Klut-man for a 37 yard tally. The fifth touchdown was garnered by Terry Miller late in the fourth quarter. Earlier in the fourth quarter, the “Discoverers had driven 99 yards in unbelievably smooth style for their third touchdown. MAROONS ROMP SOUTH SIOUX CITY Columbus easily defeated the South Sioux City Cardinals 31 —12 for the final game of the season for the Maroon and White. Sophomore Bill Bom-berger began the scoring with a 10 yard jaunt in the initial period. In a weird scoring play, Bob Hegi was almost nailed on his own 10 yard line before completing a 71 yard pass to Marv Mueller. Mueller lias earlier added a 4 yard touchdown, and Hegi later notched a 50 yard tally. Lineman Steve Sutton also joined in the scoring with a 57 yard gallop. Terr - Miller makes sure that this Cardinal doesn’t get a chance to fly south. 109 Surprising Cage Team VARSITY—STANDING: Jerry Blasig, Bob Hegi, Jay Becker, Dave Heiser, Tom Petsch, Ron Klutman, Henry Clausen, Gordon Hulsebus, Marv Mueller, A1 Kula, Bob VARSITY BASKETBALL SCORES Columbus Opponent 67 . .

With only one starter, Marv Mueller, returning from last year’s East Big-Ten Champions, the crystal ball seemed to forecast a dismal season for the young squad. After taking it on the chin from their first Class A foe, Omaha Westside, the Discoverers caught fire and outplayed, outshot, and outran the remaining opponents. The extremely fast team was led in scoring by junior Henry Clausen who scored a high of 32 points against Schuyler. It was by no means a one man show as Gerald Blasig and Marv Mueller were right behind Clausen in the scoring column. Time after time the backboards were cleared by Clausen, Mueller, and Ron Klutman, leaving the opposition quite barren of rebounds. Blasig and Dave Heiser produced some fine shooting from the No opponent dares relax his defense against the layup as Man.’ Mueller proves here.

Jay Becker, a scrappy junior, contributed exciting defensive play whenever he was called upon. The Junior Varsity, coached by Rodger Majors, also had another good season with a 9—6 record. The Junior Varsity was led by Steve DeWitt, Bill Bomberger, and VVarren Hellbusch. Several members of the team showed promising talent, which will bolster next year’s varsity. In the district tournament, Columbus faced Fremont and Norfolk took on South Sioux City in the opening round on March 6, in the Fremont High School gym. The winners of these fracases battled each other for the district title on March 7.

With three runners returning from last year’s State Track Meet Gold Medal winners, the Maroons were expected to turn out the strongest distance-running team in Columbus track history. Returning from last year’s two-mile relay state record holders were Jack McGrew, Bruce Eickhoff, and Les Hellbusch. Adding to the distance depth were Jim Bernt, Henry Clausen, and sophomore Ken Baldwin. Hurdles were another strong spot with the veterans Marv Mueller and Tom Petsch the top hurdlers. Competent sprinters were Terry Miller, Bill Berry, and sophomore Chuck Jones. Marv Mueller and sophomore Bill Bomberger performed as utility men of the field events. Mike Gem-bol participated in the high jump. Roger Meier and John Kennedy threw the shot capably, and Dick Vlasak was the discus thrower. With the probability of one of the most talented track teams in recent years, there was also the promise of a very strong showing at the State Track Meet. RETURNING LETTERMEN—BACK ROW: R.

The team was composed of Bruce Eickhoff, Les Hellbusch, Jim Bemt, John McGrew, and Ken Baldwin. Others participating were Bruce Channer, Gary Drum, Tom Engel, and Jim Miller. Cross Country is closely related to track or to track-running events. Meets are usually run on hilly golf courses or fields and average 1.8 miles in length. All contestants run the same course at the same time. Consequently, in some meets, two or three hundred boys start at the same gun. Coach Ron Callan arranged six meets and the team finished with a 4—2 record. The CHS team won the Wayne Invitational Cross Country meet, finished fourth at the Big Ten Conference meet, and finished seventh out of thirty schools at the State meet. Next year’s team will probably be built around sophomore letterman Ken Baldwin. BACK ROW: Coach Ronald Callan, Jim Miller, Bruce Eickhoff, Les Hellbusch, Jim Berm.

As tennis began its second year as an organized sport at CHS, hopes were high that the team would improve upon last year’s poor showing. Last year’s tennis squad, being the first in CHS history, had suffered greatly from a lack of experience. Although there was only one returning letterman, Jim Prentice, several members showed knowledge of the game. Several had gained experience during the previous summer while playing on the city team. Living up to preseason hopes, the team made a fine showing in all of its meets. Opponents found that the serves of Jim Prentice and DeLayne Peck were very hard to return.

The team was composed of two returning letter-men, John Ziegenbein and Jim Hoganson, in addition to several other prospects. After several weeks of practice, the team took on Norfolk, Fremont, York, Grand Island, Seward, and Schuyler. Last season, Columbus High placed fifth in the Big Ten and finished tenth in the state tournament, their best state ranking since golf became a team-sport at Columbus High. The team also won the Central Ten but did not compete in that conference this year because Columbus High is no longer a Central Ten Conference member. John Ziegenbein’s long putt can bring victory or defeat. As usual, John sinks the ones that count. 119 Jim Hoganson strives to gain an advantage over his opponent by making his tee shot a good one. Dave Heiscr’s last drive must have fallen a bit short of the green. Better luck next time. Dave. Hurrah, School’s Out! This is the shout heard throughout C.H.S. To Sophomores and Juniors, these were happy words. Words which meant another summer full of fun. A summer to forget school-until that opening day in September rolled around again. To many Seniors, however, these were sad words. No more high school for them. It may have been a shock to wake up and realize that the giant step in their education was over. That final year had ended. And what was that final year like? The walls of CHS were bulged to capacity as six hundred and sixty-six students strolled through its halls. To keep up with the pace of a class A” school, swimming, gymnastics, and cross country were added to the sports scene. Meanwhile, the old standbys—football, basketball, and track provided many thrills. Last year’s gridiron tie with Schuyler was avenged with a 28-0 rout. Hastings bit the dust before the mighty Discoverers on the football field and the basketball court. Win or lose, we Discoverers were a proud group and rightly so. Foreign exchange students once again brightened the halls of CHS. The band, the choir, and the theatrical productions, all were a credit to their school and city. German became another foreign tongue heard in the halls and classrooms, and required physical education advanced to the junior level. 1963-1964 was a great year. Many crazy things were done, and many victories were won. Much knowledge was gained and many minds were trained. All this, and much more, made it a year not soon to be forgotten. 120 Please Patronize Our Advertisers Rod Saalfeld.
