Seniors Pause For Final Look Back SECRETARY Stephanie Floyd TREASURER Gail Zimmer Principal William Floyd congratulates Michael Gcmbol and Michael Brazeal on becoming National Merit Semi-finalists. Michael Brazeal was also announced as a four-year Regents winner. CLASS SPONSOR Mr. Delbert E. Miller Wherever one looked, there was an industrious, conscientious senior hard at work. There seniors were at the head of all organizations, responsible for meeting yearbook and newspaper deadlines, battling to make a name for Columbus Senior High in Nebraska sports, serving on various committees, rehearsing to make a success of every theatrical production, and at the same time gaining recognition for outstanding scholastic achievements. The Class of 1965 was truly the anchor which kept the ship of CHS from being borne away in the current of obscurity. Although some memories are dimmed and run together, there are others that stand out and remind each senior of a certain year. As sophomores there was the first day of high school, the first game, the sense of belonging at last. There was the excitement of going to “State” in basketball, the Sophomore Hop, Jan and Chung. As juniors there was the thrill of being upperclassmen, of being able to hold an office or to start in a game. There was the Junior Revue, County Government Day, ordering class rings, Annie, the Junior-Senior Prom. As the sophomore year was a year of “firsts,” the senior year was a year of “lasts.” There was the last assembly, the last pep rally, the last dance, and the last time that they would lift their voices to the familiar strains of “Fight, Fight for Of Columbus ...” A few of the priceless memories of the most unforgettable year were being state football “champs,” the class play, The Music Man, and the prom. The inevitable time of parting. Commencement, finally came on May 24. All is over now; each has gone his separate way. These seniors will remain together only in memory, as the CHS Class of 1965. 14
