1967 Discoverer Columbus Senior High School Columbus, Nebraska publisher-American Yearbook Company, Topeka, Konsai Only two minutes to go, Halls still crowded, Six periods ahead. For some—chemistry lab; For others, lectures. A curious student gazes at life, and Another wishes to know more than is required. Some study, some sleep. They daydream and live— Learning, asking, doing. C.H.S. is alive with The Spirit of Scholarship. 2 ' % Jumping from bleachers And in a frenzied rush— Tearing down goal posts Or cutting down baskets, Students backing a team in victory or defeat; When they’re exhausted but still fighting; Running through drills, or down a Spirit Line; Being always cheered on by loyal cheerleaders. C.H.S. is alive with The Spirit of Athletics. 5 Confused and clear— Depressed and elated— They’re just teen-agers Doing what all teens do: Sharing a patriotic moment before every game; Going steady; Saving money for Prom; Relaxing in commons or gulping noon lunch. From choir to classroom C.H.S. is alive with The Spirit of Youth, The SPIRIT OF A SCHOOL EDITOR Marcia Carr ASSISTANT EDITOR Beth Loseke LAYOUT MANAGER Jeannie Kiser ASSISTANT LAYOUT MANAGER Christine Spidle CO-BUSINESS MANAGER Susan Hake CO-BUSINESS MANAGER Patricia Gersib ADVISER Miss Eleanore Limes TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION............1-9 ADMINISTRATION........10-17 CLASSES...............18-65 DEPARTMENTS...........66-87 ORGANIZATIONS........88-137 ATHLETICS...........138-161 INDEX...............164-168 9 ADMINISTRATION MR.

From Mr. Vestecka's art classes, many artistic students emerge. A fall theme brightens the window of Mrs. Herrod’s classroom. CLASSES CLASS SPONSOR Mr. Clifford Hopp PRESIDENT Quentin Wilke VICE-PRESIDENT Jerald Oppliger Reliable Officers Provided The Class of ’67 has said farewell to Columbus High and has passed through the halls for the final time. In a few years, the seniors will have forgotten the names of many classmates and the scores of different games, but there is one thing that the seniors will remember — the spirit of CHS. First there was the spirit of the classroom. The girls said they would never dissect anything, and later declared it was “so much fun.” The boys tried to stay awake in study hall and learn ten-step theorems and Latin conjugations. Then came Thoreau and his bean plants, followed by Hester Prynne. The seniors also could not forget those students who said, “I love my slide rule! Let me work a problem for you!” Then there was the spirit of athletics. Girls jumped up and down and screamed in victory and defeat. There was confusion at pep rallies, excitement at Homecoming, and sadness at the last game. The entire student body migrated to Fremont for a basketball game, and the word “spirit” was repeated by everyone. Finally, there was the spirit of student life. Students who rushed to class five minutes before the bell were early. At noon everyone stampeded to the commons, and then did not know what to do; students were unbearable once the newspapers arrived. The Class of’67 will long remember the spirit of CHS. In Memoriam Miss Charlotte Crue, who retired May 27, 1966. after thirty-two years of teaching at CHS, died October 28, 1966. She will always be remembered by Columbus Senior High School students and faculty for her keen sense of humor and for her friendliness to all who came in contact with her. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Nebraska where she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, a national organization for high scholarship. She also attended the University of Chicago, the University of Wisconsin, the Bel-ritz School of Languages, and the Rocky Mountain School of Languages. After graduating, she taught in Norfolk, Fairmont, and Oakland before coming to Columbus. At Columbus High, she taught Spanish, German, Algebra II, Trigonometry and Calculus, and history. She also sponsored the sophomore, junior, and senior classes at various times. Miss Crue was a member of the National and Nebraska State Education Associations and of the Columbus Education Association. The Columbus Senior High faculty has established a memoriam at the high school in honor of Miss Crue. 20 SECRETARY Marsha Leslie TREASURER Kathy Stradley Leadership For Senior Class Linda Aerni mastered the art of drinking from a bota.

For Occupations And Higher Education About 400 boys from throughout the state attended Cornhusker Boys’ State, which was held June 11-17 on the University of Nebraska Campus in Lincoln for the purpose of learning about our state government. The week was occupied with campaigns and election, senate sessions, and numerous assembly programs related to our state government. My experience at Boys’ State was enjoyable and most educational, but perhaps more thrilling was my trip to Boys’ Nation, which took place from July 22-29 in Washington D.C. Two boys from every continental state and the District of Columbia were present for the purpose of studying our Federal Government. Mock party conventions, election of the Boys’ Nation president and vice-president, and the senate sessions and committee meetings were inspiring and provided first-hand experience about our Federal Government. During the week. Boys’ Nationers had the opportunity to visit various points of interest, such as the Capitol, the Pentagon, and Arlington National Cemetery. At many of the places we were addressed by departmental heads who informed us on the junctions of their respective government work. My week at Boys’ Nation was most educational and exciting, and I know I will always benefit from it. Because of this experience, I will be a better citizen. BO YS’ STA TEand BO YS’ NA TION REPRESENTA T YE Ralph Vaylard EickhofT Honored Seniors Benefited SUMMER AFSSTUDENT TO COLOMBIA Marilyn Heiser Having applied for the AFS summer program through the high school, I was notified of my selection only ten days before my departure. A few days later I received a picture of my family with a full description of their life, the life I was to lead for the next two and one-half months. My home was in Bogota, Colombia, S.A. My father and mother were Nestor and Ruth Sandoval. 1 had five sisters: Martha 17, Elsa 16, Julia 13, Consuelo 11, and Marcela 7. My father was a surgeon and my mother a homemaker. My sisters attended the same girls’ school from 8 to 3:30 five days a week. I also attended this school for four weeks. Throughout my stay, I had regular contact with the AFS chapter in Bogota, and the last nine days they conducted a bus tour of Columbia. We stopped at several cities during this trip and in each of these cities we stayed with families. They were more than willing to open their homes to us and to aid in any way they could in making our stay more educational and enjoyable. My experience this summer has provided me with an excellent opportunity for meeting all kinds and classes of people and for weaving wonderful, everlasting bonds of international friendship, goodwill, and desire for cooperation. 44 Our Mexican adventure began when we arrived in Saltillo on July 16. Living with a Mexican family allowed us to participate in their customs. A daily siesta became a necessity after two hours spent at morning classes and the following two at the mercado (market place). In the afternoon our private tutors showed us many interesting sights and aided us in our understanding and communication of the language. At one of the weekly bullfights, determined not to be “tourists,” we sat in the sunny section. Besides seeing the toreador caught between the bull’s horns, there was a skirmish among the viewers as they threw socks full of powdered paint at each other. At the end of our session, we took a five-day tour and stopped at small towns along the way to Mexico City, where we stayed four days. While in Mexico City, we visited Xochimilco (Floating Garden) and the famous Pyramids of the Sun and Moon. All too soon our experience in international friendship ended, leaving us with many memories. Babctte Ferguson and Deta Coover, and Mary Hunter displayed a few of the many treasurers they found in Mexico.

The Regents' Examination was given to seniors interested in attending the University of Nebraska in the coming year. Guidance Department Advised Troubled Pupils Helping students choose an area of training that correlated with their highest interests and abilities was the goal of the Guidance Department. In conferences with the students, the three Guidance Counselors stressed the need for training beyond high school, either in college or in special and vocational schools. Mr. Roger Goss, the sophomore adviser, said that his main objective was helping sophomores adjust to the high school routines. He assisted students in planning their schedules and their future training. During the year, the sophomores took the Differential Aptitude Test to determine areas of special interest to the students. Juniors faced a full testing schedule. Four major tests administered were the Iowa Tests of Educational Development, the Preliminary Scholastic Ap- titude Test, the National Merit Test, and the Otis Mental Ability Test. Some students also took the Scholastic Aptitude Test in the spring in order to apply to colleges requiring early admission. Mr. Dell Miller, junior counselor, met with the individual students to discuss test results and the educational pattern indicated by the various results. Mr. Norris Augustin, in his conferences with seniors, emphasized the need for training beyond high school. He urged college visitation for these students who intended to further their education. Many seniors participated in Senior Orientation Day at the University of Nebraska on Saturday, October 1. During the first half of the year, the Guidance Department administered the Regents’ Exams and also the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Mr. Roger Goos, the sophomore guidance director, aided Mr. Augustin in su- Mr. Norris Augustin, the senior guidance counselor, aided Connie Collins pervising the Regents' Exam. in planning her future. Many Creations Emerged From Art Department As students hurried down the hall of CHS, they often spotted Donald Duck, Tweety Pie, an arrogant peacock, or beautiful floral arrangements. They might also have seen the proud art students who achieved these lifelike representations by stitching with colored yarn. Needlepoint stitching was the first project this year for Mr. Vestecka’s art classes. These classes, composed of approximately one hundred twenty students, learned the basic techniques of drawing and worked in various crafts. During the Christmas season, students chose ideas for Christmas projects from magazines, and then developed the ideas. After Christmas they worked in pottery and ceramics and learned how to operate the potter's wheel. Mr. Vestecka also gave students some experience in commercial art, sculpturing, and water color painting. Some of the nain projects of the art classes included composition, print-making, and woodblocking. As part of these projects, students used knives and tools to cut out a print. They then reproduced the print in colored ink. The classes studied these printing processes for five weeks. Aided by Mr. Vestecka. art students attempted to draw the portrait of David Krueger. Mr. Vestecka supervised the painting of his students. Mrs. Wibbels, Miss Blankenbleckler. and Miss Grace, are discussing the packets used in project English. A yearly booksale enables students to browse through the display and purchase books. English Skills Build Greater Knowledge This year, the senior high students participated in a sequential, articulated, English program based on the Nebraska Curriculum materials. Tenth-grade and eleventh-grade teachers generally adopted this program in their classes. Sophomore instruction centered around several thematic units. Some of the themes studied were Man's View of Nature, Sin and Loneliness, and The Leader in the Group. The study and writing of compositions came from this literature-based program. The juniors based their study on American literature. Starting with the effects of Puritanism, they pursued four primary themes: Man and Nature, Sin and Loneliness, American Materialism, and Individualism. In relation to these themes, the students analyzed some of the works of Twain, Tho- A senior English class struggles through one of Mrs. Herrod’s daily English quizzes. By writing compositions on some character in Canterbury Tales, students prepare for work in college. 70 As part of Journalism, Marty Golden is interviewing her mother for an organization story. As Pupils Prepare For Further Education reau, Hawthorne, and Melville. Junior English thus enlarged on the ideas presented in the sophomore program. Twelfth-grade English classes studied English literature, History of the Language, and supplementary novels. In Gulliver’s Travels, students studied satire. Seniors acquired a knowledge of the classics through a program of interpretive study, concentrated reading, and vocabulary building based on literature and on general terms. Composition through literature occupied an important part of the senior curriculum. English teachers took part in the evaluation study which involved establishing guiding principles and philosophy, and forming scope and sequence of the present English program. ;hef V. f Mr. Anderson's English class is finishing a study of sentence structure, a part of the Sophomore program. Mrs. Hcrrod's Sophomore reading class has developed better reading skills as a result of constant drills. 71 Emily Cameron and Marilyn Heiscr formed a debating team on foreign policy in favor of the status quo. Patty Nitz tried to persuade her debating opponents to accept her stand on the present foreign policy against the status quo. Debate Students Delved Into National Topic “The Federal Government Should Limit Foreign Aid to Non-Military Assistance” was this year’s national debate topic. This topic made the library a second home for debate students, who supplemented available information by writing congress-men and international agencies. Students gained debating experience outside of class by participating in several debate tournaments, including two-day tournaments at Kearney and Hastings. Besides studying the basics of rhetoric, students in junior speech class learned the fundamentals of debate. They also read speeches, poetry, prose, and plays. During speech. David Krueger reciled the famous excerpt from Patrick Henry's speech to the House of Burgesses. Coreen Dotson quoted one of Shakespear’s soliloquoys for speech. 72 Mr. Walsh, the U.S. History teacher, led his class in a lively discussion of the Battle of Gettysburg. Social Studies Molded Effective Citizens Social studies consisted of world history, American history, and modern problems. The courses were designed to develop the students into more effective citizens in the future years as they take part in government. Students in modern problems studied Communism, United States government, civil defense, economics, international relations, and personal guidance for the students. In American history, a required course for all juniors, students acquired knowledge of United States history and government. On December 21, many juniors participated in County Government day, where they learned the functions of the county government. During second semester, a team teaching program was put into practice. Students in world history studied the history of the European countries, their governments and their peoples. Students, while registering to vote, practiced democratic procedures during County Government elections. Beth Loseke and Nancy Mohlman display a German coat of arms, which helps students understand German culture and history. CHS Pupils Study Many Different Languages More grammar and composition was the general policy of the language teachers. Classes continued to use the Audio-Lingual Method for learning the correct pronunciation, but the instructors felt that college language courses demanded a more thorough knowledge of grammar than ALM offered. To determine the breadth of language courses in the junior and senior high schools, teachers participated in an evaluation study. Miss Keyes, Spanish instructor, joined the faculty after returning from Peru where she served two years in the Peace Corps. She emphasized history, geography, and customs of South America. First year students concentrated on pronunciation and dialogue while the second year groups studied grammar. Students subscribed to Spanish newspa- The language lab aids students in pronunciation and their ability to understand a spoken language. Latin II students study Roman customs, dress, and history in addition to vocabulary and grammar. 74 As well as learning Spanish vocabulary and grammar, the Spanish students arc studying the customs and habits of the Spanish-speaking countries. A spicy Latin American theme flavors Miss Keyes' window display. As They Prepare For Their Future Education pers and also wrote to Spanish pen pals. In French classes, students received a well-rounded background in grammar, pronunciation, and traditions. Students presented oral and written reports on the country and on the people of France. Third year classes read several outstanding selections from French literature. Sixty first-year students battled with the difficult phonetics of German. Classes used the Wengler tapes to master pronunciation. Students in German II, however, concentrated more on grammar than on pronunciation. Latin students acquired a fundamental knowledge of the Roman classics and civilization by reading works of Caesar and other Roman writers. Latin also aided students in building vocabulary. Mr. McLain, a student teacher in French, reads the contents of a French newspaper to the students. Translation of French books aids students develop a broader knowledge of the French language. 75 Examination of living things through a microscope assisted students in their understanding of cellular structure. In chemistry, experiments aided students in their comprehension of various composition, decomposition, and replacement reactions. Science Courses Served As Launching Pad Kent Davey found the success of this experiment depended on his precision and accuracy in setting up the reaction. Biology, chemistry, and advanced biology made up the science department. The main objective of these courses was to prepare the student for the college science courses which he will take in the future. Biology dealt primarily with the study of plants and animals and of their relationship to their environment. Activities included classifying plant and animal structures, sketching detailed India ink drawings, dissecting, a project of taxonomy, and human anatomy. Learning aids added in the chemistry classes were new film strips, an overhead projector, and an introduction to the slide rule. Students studied chemical bonds, hydrocarbons, balancing equations, formulas, elements, acids, bases, and salts quite extensively. Laboratory experiments gave the students experience in working problems relating to mass and volume in chemical reactions. Daily lectures answered any questions the pupils had. A new course added for seniors interested in advanced science and medicine was advanced biology. Human anatomy and physiology were covered through the study of all systems, muscles, and bones. In their studies of the respiratory system and muscle tissue, the students used a frog and a kymograph. 76 -------------------------------- PS Nancy Siems and Jackie Schneider examined one-celled plant and animal structures.

Geometry was one of the sequences of mathematical courses offered at C.H.S. Designed primarily as a college prep course, it was presented from a modern point of view in meaningful language. Deductive reasoning, logical thinking, systematic procedures, and establishment of correct relationships were emphasized during the year. Geometry consisted of construction, measurement, study of straight lines, circles, and polygons. Independent thinking was encouraged and a correlation was made with non-mathematical reasoning to prepare the students for advanced work in mathematics and science. Algebra I was the prerequisite course for Algebra II. Sets, sentences of variables, systems of equations, quadratic equations, and factoring of polynomials were covered in Algebra I. Algebra II, offered to juniors, dealt primarily with linear and non-linear relations, sets, cubic and quadratic equations, lagarithms, and trigonometry. Two classes of fourth year math, taught by Miss Owens, covered set logic, methods of proof by induction, limits of sequences, vectors, analytical geometry, calculus, probability, and statistics. Students explored many new areas in math which prepared them for freshman college math.- 78 In marketing, Kathy Drake has designed a showcase and is trying her salesmanship on Ken Walters. Marketing Students Acquired Techniques For the first time juniors and seniors were able to Designing showcases plays an integral partin marketing, take part in a two-year marketing program. The first year consisted of a one-hour preparatory program for juniors and a two-hour program for seniors. The forty-six seniors in marketing participated in an intern training program. Many wholesale and retail businesses in the city cooperated with Columbus High in providing employment for marketing students. The students worked in the special areas of their choice and remained at one business establishment throughout the year. The employers trained the students in the various aspects of their work. The minimum number of working hours for which students could receive credit was ten hours and the maximum was thirty hours. In the classroom, students studied retail merchandising and salesmanship fundamentals. In salesmanship fundamentals they learned the numerous opportunities and advantages in selling. This curriculum was followed in both the first and second-year classes. The seniors learned proper selling techniques by presenting different sales demonstrations. Four committees were in charge of setting up displays in the classroom each week. Students arranged displays in a security show case which is similar to the type used in jewelry stores. They also arranged a display case and decorated the classroom windows and bulletin board. As part of the marketing program. Bill German works part time as an employee to learn various aspects of the selling world. 79 In office practice, the students learn how to prepare a mimeograph stencil. New adding machines and office equipment help students prepare for a future in the business world. Commercial Curriculum Incorporated Anyone who visited the Commercial Department of Columbus High might have thought the students were taking a course in machines, for girls in office practice and the advanced secretarial course learned to work with several all-electric machines. Teachers still emphasized typing and shorthand as the core of the students’ training, but since modern office procedure demands a familiarity with time-saving electrical devices, teachers stressed speed and dexterity in operating these machines. Girls acquired valuable experience by working in the school office. Miss Jesse taught students the operation of eleven new office machines a printing calculator, rotary calculators, ten-key adding machines, and a duplicating machine. The girls learned to type master carbons and stencils and to make copies on the Lyncll Lilienthal uses her shorthand while she transcribes a letter from a dictaphone. Dictation helps office practice students in aug menling their speed and perfecting their skill. 80 Balancing books is just one of the practices students learn in bookkeeping. The Operation Of Office Machines print duplicator and the mimeograph. Miss Albro had the advanced secretarial classes. In her classes students worked with new listening stations. The belts could be set at various speeds to enable each girl to progress to a faster rate. Miss Albro used the IBM machines for dictation, typing, and sound scribing. The overhead projector aided students in learning the proper techniques for shorthand. Clerical typing offered prospective business school students a foundation in office typing. Students interested in typing for their personal use enrolled in personal typing for either one or two semesters during their sophomore, junior, or senior year. A summer typing course aided students who could not take personal typing during the school year. General Business aids students in gaining a broader understanding of how our complex business society is run. By practicing daily assignments. typing students increase their speed, and perfect their accuracy. 81 Mr. Vahlkamp showed the proper use of a plate in designing various blue prints. Mr. Brega instructed Dave Svoboda in the proper use of a spot welder. Boys Developed Vocational Skills Gaylen Kamralh worked with a MIG spot welder, a new machine which aided him in increasing his skill. Providing pre-vocational skills was the main objective of the Industrial Education courses at CHS. Drafting, plastics, leather, woodworking and electricity were some of the topics covered in the sophomore Comprehensive Skills and Technology 1 curriculum. Boys taking this course spent two hours each day drawing and working with woods and wire circuits. Some of the projects included tables and desks. Comprehensive Skills and Technology II made up the junior year of Industrial Education. Drafting, forging, sheet metal, bench metal, the engine-lathe, the milling machine, and the basic fundamentals of welding were learned. The boys worked on tool boxes and other metal projects throughout the year. Comprehensive Skills and Technology 111 was Milling machines aided boys in constructing their projects. 82 Wood projects, required of all students, demanded many long hours of work and preparation. In Industrial Education Classes the final course completing the three-year series. All projects made in this course were made with very precise measurements. The students studied TIG welding, MIG welding, advanced welding, and the advanced uses of the milling machine and engine-lathe. For those who wanted only a fundamental knowledge of the method of drawing used in manufacturing and building industries, mechanical drawing was offered. In Mechanical Drawing I, activities included were reading blueprints, making freehand sketches, and dimensioning. This course provided experience in using drafting instruments and techniques. Mechanical Drawing II was offered to those students wishing to broaden their background in architectural drafting, skills, and techniques. Under the supervision of Mr. Vanek. Mike Birkcl worked diligently. identifying many wires at the work bench. New Courses Added In Home Ec Department In the home economics department this year all the courses for sophomores and juniors are for one semester. The first semester course of the sophomore year consisted of clothing and textiles, which covered quite thoroughly clothing construction for the girls and their families. The main theme of the second semester was human development which dealt with child care, nursing, first aid, and family relationships. For the first time, the class planned a nursery school. Children of pre-school age and kindergarten age levels attended in order for the class to observe and study child care. Mrs. Osenbaugh taught a course to juniors in home economics. The first semester consisted of foods and nutrition; the second semester of housing, design, and home furnishings. The senior classes spent their classtime in preparation for adult living. This course dealt with six specific areas: responsibilities of adulthood and parenthood, consumer buying, housing the family, nutrition for physical fitness, clothing, and family finance. HERO-Home Economics Related Occupations was also taught this year. Some of the projects which they undertook were altering patterns, making a man’s shirt, a child’s garment, a lined garment, a sport’s garment, doing a makeover, and fitting a muslin dress and sloper. Cooking to which one semester is devoted plays an important role in the Home Economics program. Fitting proves to be the most important part of making a dress. To help Home Ec students understand the behavior of children, a children's playschool is held as part of Human Development. 84 Voc Ag Students Learn From Experience CHS’s Vocational Agriculture Department provided experience and education in the vocations of farming, marketing, and service institutions as well as businesses serving agriculture and production agriculture. Another aim was to interest some students further in pursuing a professional career in agriculture. Classroom sessions. Adult and Young Farmers courses, FFA, shop work, and experience programs provided instruction and experience in agriculture. The experience programs involved the conducting of a supervised farming program or a work-experience program in the employment in an agricultural business. The supervised farming program consisted of one or more production products, two or more betterment or farm improvement projects, and at least six new farm skills learned and practiced each year. Classroom instruction involved study in the agricultural subjects which would be of use to the farmer in production agriculture, to the Ag-Related employee in learning his job or occupation, and to the student in College Prep wishing to further his education in vocational agriculture. Voc-Ag shop built skills in farm mechanics needed by a farmer in his business and by the Ag-Related employee in performing his duties. Adult and Young Farmer courses assisted the prospective farmer in management of his farming business and kept him informed of new practices and techniques in agriculture. Voc-Ag boys are required to overhaul and repair 3n engine satisfactorily in order to complete a unit of study. Gerald Kilham is building a calf creep feeder as his Voc-Ag project. In Soil Conservation engineering, a phase of Voc-Ag instruction, the boys arc learning to use the farm level set. 85 Paula Rowe demonstrated her skill at changing a tire. Mr. Vahlkamp pointed out specific parts of an engine with which all drivers should be familiar in case of an emergency. Driver Ed Offered Guidance In Basic Skills Driver Ed boys examined an engine to determine what could cause the car to stall so unexpectedly. Learning and practicing the basic driving techniques of an automobile were the main purposes of the driver education classes. Students devoted two class periods a week to classroom instruction and one period to actual practice driving, under the supervision of Mr. Van Fos-sen and Mr. VahlKamp. Defensive driving, changing of tires, parking, safety rules and regulations, and driving on icy or slick streets were learned while practice driving. The students each took turns driving in town, in the country, and on the highway in a 1966 Oldsmobile. In addition to driving, the students learned the costs of owning and operating a car, the insurance policy rates, the important parts of a car—their proper care and function. A mechanical reflex-testing device was used to test the reflexes of student drivers. Enrollment was limited during the school year due to the large number of students taking driver education classes taught in the summer. These classes were held one hour each day for six weeks, at the high school. 86 All driver ed students were required to know how to change a tire and to demonstrate this knowledge. Ronald Wrubel demonstrated a vaulting technique used on the side horse as a phase of the gymnastics unit. Exercises were part of the hourly routine of P.E. boys. Healthy Students Emerged From P.E. Course Physical education, a required course for all the sophomores and juniors, gave students ample opportunity to participate in various games and sports as well as to learn how to cooperate with other young people. Strenuous calisthenics began each class period. Both girls' and boys’ classes of physical education took part in soccer, basketball, archery, trampoline, the horse, parallel bars, tumbling, and physical fitness tests. Bowling was added for the first time to the girls’ schedule. The classes made two trips to each bowling alley to learn not only the fundamentals of bowling but also the operation of a bowling alley. At the end of this program a test was given to the girls to test their ability in scoring and their knowledge of the game. Both groups participated in coed volleyball and square dancing. The girls also played golf, deck tennis, and badminton; the boys, football, horseshoes, flag football, and track. As one phase of P.E., the girls tried their skill at archery. Bowling, a new unit in P.E. thisycar, gave a new challenge to the girls. 87 ORGANIZATIONS HOMECOMING QUEEN and KING Deta Coover Kenneth Robb October 21, 1966 Deta Coover And Ken Robb Reign At ATTENDANTS: Dan Abel ATTENDANTS: Babette Ferguson Sue Slonecker Norris Hellbusch ATTENDANTS: Frederick Warner ATTENDANTS: Richard Bergman ATTENDANTS: Marilyn Heiser Margaret Sokol Nancy Hamilton David Gildea 1966 Homecoming Festivities 1966 Homecoming Royalty and Attendants await the beginning of the festivities.

Student Council Gave Voice To Student Ideas Student Council members dedicated themselves to bringing the Student Council closer to the students. The representatives and their advisers strove to gain a better education for all through the understanding and cooperation of students, teachers, and administration. The Student Council directed its money-making projects toward the American Field Service. It sponsored a get-acquainted dance on September 6 and a Slop Hop on October 4. As part of the Slop Hop festivities, Karen Bembry and Gaylen Wilke were crowned Queen Drip and King Drop. Doug Rosek-rans was Top Slop. During the year, the Student Council also sponsored a Sno Ball Dance on December 22, a Sweetheart Dance on February 25, and Twirp Week and Dance in the spring. On November 19, John Schneider, retiring State Vice-President, and twenty-two Student Council members attended the NASC Convention at Omaha Westside. They received many practical ideas for improving student-teacher relations and projected these ideas at CHS. During the football season, the Student Council members served as ushers in the reserved seat section at all home games and also acted as guides for the Senior High open house. They presented a Christmas convocation and published a revised student handbook. At Christmas, the Student Council gave a greatly appreciated gift to the student body—the long awaited, much discussed pop machine finally arrived.

A few CHS students had the opportunity to visit with the AFS Students during luncheon. AFS Promoted International Friendship Foreign-exchange students from six nations gathered at Columbus Senior High School for the District Convention of the American Field Service on October 15. The students met with their American classmates, parents, and AFS members to discuss problems they had experienced in respect to language, customs, and school routines. Miss Pat Olmstead and Miss Andrea Rogers, both of New York City, held panel discussions with the AFS students and their American parents in order to gain a precise knowledge of the students’ homelife and his ability to adjust to his new environment. Miss Olmstead and Miss Rogers also gave the high school counselors advice on working with the AFS students. Cities represented at the convention were Colum- bus, South Sioux City, Schuyler, Norfolk, Fremont, Madison, and Albion. Columbus High representatives included Marilyn Heiser, Babette Ferguson. Jeannie Kiser, Mary Beth Stephens, Don Kiser, Vickie Sauma, and John Schneider. Marilyn Heiser spent last summer in Colombia as an AFS student, and Vicki Sauma of Costa Rica was Columbus High’s AFS student for 1966-1967. The foreign students who attended the convention came from New Zealand, Norway, Argentina. Thailand, and Colombia. They were selected by the American Field Service to spend their senior year in a Nebraska high school. The Columbus High chapter of FHA served the noon luncheon at the convention. Exchange students from Norway, Thailand, New Zealand. Costa AFS Exchange students enjoyed relating the experiences they Rica, Argentina, and Colombia gathered at the AFS convention. had encountered since arriving in America. 97 EXECUTIVE BOARD STANDING: Mr. Roy Jeffers.

Vicky and Mrs. Hodges were making the first sale of AFS candy bars. Money-making Projects Supported AFS Student Money-making projects were the main objectives of the Columbus American Field Service Chapter. Enough money had to be made during the year to support an exchange student. Projects included holding a pancake feed and selling candy bars and Christmas cards. The CHS Student Council also contributed its efforts to help sell candy bars and Christmas Cards. Two student council representatives from each class attended the monthly meetings. On February 12, the Columbus Soroptomists held a tea at the Methodist Church honoring Virginia Sauma, our AFS student from Alajuela, Costa Rica, and other exchange students representing New Zealand, Norway, Argentina, Thailand, and Colombia from surrounding communities. Jeannie Kiser and Linda Aerni were selected as finalists for the Americans Abroad Program. The selected committee sent their names to New York City for a final selection of students from all the students who were nominated to go abroad during the coming year. Marilyn Heiser, a Columbus AFS’er spent two and one-half months during the summer in Bogota, Colombia. The AFS Chapter tried to help the foreign exchange student as much as possible and worked to solve any problems which might have arisen between her and her American family. They strived to help the exchange student adjust to the American way of life — the language, customs, and attitudes. One of the monthly meetings of the Columbus AFS Chapter held the second Tuesday of each month. Vicky Sauma AFSSTUDENT Walk Together-Talk Together What a difference there has been in one school year. I have come from the small country of Costa Rica with its oceans, mountains, and near-tropical vegetation to the vast United States and the rolling prairies of Nebraska; from a Roman Catholic girls’ school to the beautiful, large high school in Columbus; from Catholic nun teachers to men and women teachers; from the Spanish language to the English language; from seventeen girls in my Costa Rican class to 230 boys and girls in my class in Columbus. Most different of all is the climate. My town of Alajuela has a very mild climate — we have neither heating nor air conditioning. Now, 1 have experienced a fall and winter that I have never known before. The distances, too — I’ll never forget my first Booster Club trip to Alliance — all those many, many miles and still in the same state. I feel very fortunate and proud to have been cho- sen as an AFS student to the United States, and particularly to Columbus. Everyone — the students, teachers, AFS board, my American family, and the townspeople — has been very friendly and helpful. In many ways they have opened up a whole new way of living for me. I know I shall cherish and benefit from these wonderful experiences, because many of my ideas about the United States have changed. I hope to be a good ambassador of your country in Costa Rica. In July, I will return to my school for four months before graduating, because our “summer” vacation begins the first of December. Then I plan to enter the University of San Jose to study medicine. I would like to invite everyone to come to my country so that I and the many other AFS students could return your warm hospitality and show our appreciation for this fine program. Vicky was showing Mr. and Mrs. Laird Loomis and Ann where her home town, Alajuelo, Costa Rica, is located. MATIES: Susan Bullock. Mary Clementson, Sheryl Cattau. Jeannie Kiser. Mary Korte.

This included fourteen squadleaders, eleven maties, a mascot, seven varsity cheerleaders, and seven junior varsity cheerleaders. Projects undertaken by the Booster Club were distributing Forget-Me-Nots for the Disabled Veterans, designing a school flag and crest, and selling banners and sweatshirts. Weekly pep rallies, posters, locker decorations, and signs put on the buses when attending out-of-town games helped boost school spirit.

Jac Kluever, portraying Fiona MacLarcn in the hit musical BRIG A BOON. is Waiting for her Dearie. BRIGADOON cast its magic spell over an audience of nearly 4,500 on May 4, 8, and 9, as the talented vocal music students under the direction of Robert V. Larsen, unfolded the delightful story of a village in Scotland, which appears once every hundred years out of the Highland mists, only to disappear after a single day. In that one day all the elements of living life and death, love and marriage are confronted. Stumbling upon Brigadoon, Tommy Albright (Dan Harrington) and Jeff Douglas (Fred Anson) two American tourists, sense that the village has an eerie feeling. Tommy persuades Mr. Lundie (Kent Davy) to relate the village’s history. In 1767 a miracle had permitted the village to be preserved from any change by allowing it to disappear, then come to life for one day each century. During their day in Brigadoon, Tommy falls in love with the charming lass, Fiona MacLaren (Jae Lynn Kluever). Although Tommy leaves Brigadoon because of his doubts, he finds that “when ye love someone deeply anythin' is possible —even miracles.” The beautiful set was designed, constructed, and painted by Neil Janssen, a Columbus High School graduate.

Members participating in the plays along with their adviser, Mr. Bernard Clark, spent approximately five hundred hours planning, rehearsing, and publicizing the various plays. As a special project, the Thespians entered a one-act play at the Fine Arts Festival in Lincoln in March. They also planned to attend one play at the Omaha Community Playhouse and one in Lincoln. Mr. Clark hoped to initiate listening meetings. During these sessions, students would listen to recordings of plays and musicals.

By Archibald MacLeish J.B., by Archibald MacLeish, was the modern version of the biblical story of Job set in a torn, tattered circus symbolizing the world. Two ex-actors, Zuss and Nickles, now circus vendors, entered and played the parts of God and Satan in the Struggle for Job’s soul. As in the biblical story, God took everything from Job his children, his fortune and his wife. Job asked God for the reason and demanded to know his guilt. Three comforters a psychiatrist, a marxist, and a clergyman — failed to help him. Job repented, and when God restored him. Job saw the answer — mortals never know God’s reasons, but God gives them love as a comfort. “God, let me die! said J.B. (Ralph EickhofT) to his comforters — James Anson, Emily Cameron, Susan Slonecker, Lee Rathbun, Jeannie Kiser, Kathleen Corder, and Martina Golden. J.B. (Ralph EickhofT) was comforting Sarah, his wife (Linda Aerni), who was dying, with Civil Defense Officers (Darrell Hadcock and Quentin Wilke) looking on. 122 Janitor, Darrell Hadcock; Musician.

The innocent Purity Dean (Carol Falk) pleaded with Leander (Kent Davy) not to shoot the discovered villain (Fredrick Bch-len). Pure As The Driven Snow, a light melodrama of the nineteenth century, was presented as a Thespian allschool play on January 30 and 31. The play, by Paul Loomis, centered around the merciless villain, Mortimer Frothingham and the downtrodden heroine. Purity Dean. Mortimer tried to win Purity’s love, but Purity loved only the brave and manly-bosomed hero, Leander Longfellow. During a raging storm, the Logans, owners of Umland Inn, took Purity in. E. Z. Pickens and his sister Imogene arrived, and each tackled his project for the visit. Imogene, greedy for Leander’s love, bribed Purity into leaving the inn and deceived Leander into believing Purity’s immorality. Mr. Logan lost his life’s savings in a fraudulent business deal with Frothingham. Frothingham’s former wife arrived to reveal his true identity, and Purity and Leander lived in peace ever after. 123 OFFICERS President ........... Vice-President.......

Royalty Crowned This year, the FHA Chapter of Columbus High assisted the junior high girls in establishing their own chapter. The senior high girls furnished books, conducted some of their meetings, and held a party for the new group. To qualify as an Honor Chapter was the goal of the FHA. To do this, girls had to initiate and carry out projects, help individual chapter members, and improve the chapter. The members earned merits for attendance at meetings, for wearing FHA colors, for wearing their pins on days of FHA meetings and for officers wearing their blazers. The senior girl with the most merits became Miss FHA. FHA collected toys as a Christmas project and gave some of these toys to the Columbus Chamber of Commerce and the remainder to the Beatrice Home. On September 13, the FHA held a Hobo Party for members and guests. Its main purpose was to attract new members. Dan Harrington and Bonnie Michener were crowned King and Queen of the Hoboes. FHA also sponsored a Hayrack Ride on October 11. In July, Sue Hake and Miss Benne attended the National FHA Convention in St. Louis. Sue was the Nebraska candidate for National Treasurer. The District IV Convention was held in Albion on October 8. Vicky Sauma, AFS student from Costa Rica, was a special guest of the Columbus FHA Chapter.

Office staff workers did not patrol the hall without a reason. The girls could have been picking up absence slips and lunch tickets, delivering the daily bulletins, or taking a message to a student or a teacher. Most of the work of the office staff, however, was done in the main office. The girls made up the absence lists for Mr. Hopp, answered the telephone, operated the ditto machine, did some typing, and prepared the bulletins. They also filed report cards and made new ones. Girls, mainly juniors and seniors, who composed the office staff worked one period each day and generally took a business education course.

Junior Librarians came to the aid of many exasperated students looking for the right books on the wrong shelf. They also assumed some of the responsibilities connected with a large high school library. The membership of Junior Librarians included sophomore, junior, and senior girls, who spent one period each day performing the clerical duties of the library. The adviser of Junior Librarians, Miss Ellen Cahill, believed the girls gained practical experience in finding information and in working with other people. This experience proved especially valuable to Karen Van Diest, president of Junior Librarians, who is planning a career in library work. A paperback book sale the week of November 7 to 11 was the librarians’ major project this year. English classes visited the library once during this week, giving students an opportunity to select from a variety of reading materials. On December 3, Junior Librarians held their Christmas party. They also sponsored numerous brownie sales after school.

DECA, the Distributive Education Clubs of America, promoted leadership, vocational understanding, civic consciousness, and social intelligence in students. By developing these qualities, members prepared themselves for future success in the business world and for their personal challenges. DECA members held breakfast meetings every other Tuesday. Speakers at these breakfasts included businessmen from the Columbus area. The members strove to further the marketing program and to be of service to the community. Each member of DECA also received the DECA DISTRIBUTOR, a national marketing magazine for students. Since this was the first year for DECA at Columbus Senior High, there were few projects. The major project which the members carried out was an employer-employee banquet. Students brought their employers and paid for their supper. In this way the students honored the employers who participated in the intern training program in which students were given employment in the area of their interests.

Sponsored by the School of Journalism from the University of Nebraska, classes stressed the use of magazines furnished by annual companies for copy ideas and layouts. The keynote speaker of the evening was Paul Swensson, Director of the Newspaper Fund, Inc., of the Wall Street Journal. He emphasized the importance of college in his speech. The aims of the annual staff were to get as many different students as possible into pictures and to capture and preserve as many memories and events of the school year as possible. The staff used criticisms of the previous year’s annual from the National Scholastic Press Association and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association to improve the quality of their yearbook. Since the yearbook was a project of the senior class, the staff tried to make it the best and most interesting of any yearbooks published. Striving for originality. Beth Loseke, Chris Spidle, and Peg Potter studied many annuals before drawing layouts. Marilyn Heiser. Debbie Foreman. Mary Hunter, and Sue Bullock combined efforts in order to meet deadlines. Jane Clausen, photographer, often caught students off-guard as Jeanie Ausman spent long hours typing.

Gridiron Squad Played ASSISTANT VARSITY COACHES Ron Callan Bart” Bartholomew In 1966, the Discoverers experienced a disheartening season, though many players gave an all-out effort for the team. Despite evident lack of team effort during some games, the Discoverers did play many fine games, losing to highly ranked teams around the state. Despite this year’s bad record, many bright spots were apparent. Ken Robb, who lead the team for the past two years in scoring and rushing yardage, received the Bob Murray award for outstanding performances. The team selected Ken Robb and Don Oppliger, this year’s most improved player, as co-captains. Three-year lettermen Rick Bergman, Dave Gildea, Norris Hellbusch, and Ken Robb, along with senior quarterback Rick (Mute) Warner, constituted the nucleus of the 1966 Discoverer team. The underclassmen, in whom lay the hope of the future Discoverer teams, showed much promise and gained valuable experience during the course of the year. In their last game, the Millermen dealt South Sioux City a sound 44-18 defeat, thus finishing their campaign on a winning note. Through the years, the football field has proved to be a training ground for the men of tomorrow. The sorrows, hardships, and joys of the gridiron are similar in many respects to those experienced in life. A young man who has participated in football has gained sound judgement which will become invaluable in the years ahead of him, for it is on the football field, as well as in any athletic arena, that the leaders of tomorrow develop. 140 VARSITY BACK ROW: D.

JV’s Built For Future With 6-0 Mark Coach Dennis Van Fossen took over the Junior Varsity Coaching chores this year and led the team to an undefeated 6-0 season. All-around team-play and strong determination accounted for the fine showing of the young Discoverers. Over the course of the campaign, many players were groomed for future varsity duty. Starting off the season, the yearlings traveled to York for the first game of the season against the York JV’s. The young Dukes proved a tough opponent as the Columbus team had to rally in the last few minutes of the play to score the only touchdown of the game. Norfolk came to town for the next game but was handed a defeat 12-6. Grand Island was next in line, but proved to be no problem as the game ended, G.I. 0, Columbus 12. With three games down, two of the remaining three were with Fremont. In the first Fremont game, the baby Tigers were shut out 13-0, but the next game was in Tigerland, and a “fixed-up” Black and Gold gave the visiting Maroons a tough game, finally yielding 14-13. The last game of the season took place on enemy ground, but the Junior Varsity would not be denied a victory as they romped past the young Panther’s 7-6, thus ending the season with a perfect record.

With Undefeated Conference Record For the first time in CHS history, the Discoverer basketball team won the East Big Ten Conference crown with an undefeated conference record. Starting off the season with a win over the York Dukes, the Hoppmen rolled to eleven straight victories. They sailed over strong opponents, such as Omaha Westside, Hastings, Grand Island, Lincoln High and other tough teams before the Holdredge Dusters came to town and upset the Maroon and White for the first loss of the season. However, the Discoveres showed the mark of a great team by bouncing back the next evening to take a come-from-behind victory over conference rival Grand Island. The roundball-ers then beat Norfolk in the last conference game of the season before disaster struck again. This time highly touted Lincoln Northeast came to town and upended the CHSer’s in a game which saw the hometown team lead all the way until the last couple of minutes. The Discoverers closed regular season play by defeating Blair before traveling to Kearney for the Big Ten playoff and then to Fremont for the District tournament.

Varsity Squad Took East Big Ten Title The 1966-67 basketball season produced a fine varsity squad and also left great hopes for next year’s team. This year’s junior Discoverers played the same tough schedule as the varsity, and Coach Dave Swartz did a fine job in guiding his team to a 11 -3 mark. His team, composed of many talented young athletes, started strong and never let up. Balanced scoring and depth were the main factors in Coach Swartz’s strategy. A convincing victory over York followed by a win over Westside initiated the junior varsity season. In the next game, Hastings gave no trouble, but Fairbu-ry yielded by only one point. After beating Grand Island, the baby “roundballers” took their first setback at the hands of Fremont. They then rebounded by beating Hastings again, only to drop the Lincoln High game which followed. Columbus beat Fremont next, then trounced Norfolk, squeaked by Grand Island, trounced Norfolk again, and met sound defeat by Northeast. Like all good teams, they came back to beat Blair in the final game of the year. JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL RECORD Columbus Opponent 78 York 58 58 . Omaha Westside 50 47 Hastings 35 47 . .

Three School Records Fell As far as this year’s win-loss record was concerned, the swimming season could be termed unsuccessful, but considering that it was a rebuilding year and that it was Mr. Dennis Van Fossen’s first year as swimming coach, the season was a very respectable one. Against strong opposition, the tankmen turned in many fine performances and broke individual records. This year’s relay team was always a threat and gave opponents a tight race right down to the finish. Scott Adams led the team in scoring and set two school records in the process. Scott broke records in the 50-yard and the 100-yard free style. Kurt Bembry, another consistent scorer broke a school record in the 400-yard free style. Diver Keith Gottschall arched beautifully to gain a high score. LETTF.RMEN—Kurt Bembry, Gary Uphoff Kurt Bcmbry and Brian Braithwait got set for the start of their race.

Coach Ron Beck, who took over for “Bart” Bartholomew in January, did a fine job in keeping the team’s winning tradition. Great team effort and depth characterized this year’s season. Bill Nickolite, followed by Jim Brouse and Dennis Hoyle, led in scoring. Two promising underclassmen, Jon Blocker and Jeff Hoge, gained poise and experience that would help them round into top gymnasts next year. Bill Nickolite was elected co-captain, along with Jim Brouse, and was voted the team’s outstanding gymnast. Bill also broke the school record for the most points scored in one season. During practice, Jeff Hoge did a handstand as one of his stunts. Bill Nickolite was at home on the side horse, an event in which he often took first place. Gary Oakcson’s hard work during practice paid off in meets. Smooth performance netted points for Jim Brouse on the high bar. During Successful 1966-67 Season VARSITY - BACK ROW Ken Zimmer.

Having no outstanding harrier, the team relied on the individual effort of all for a good showing. At the District Meet in Lincoln, they finished a strong sixth, but barely missed qualifying for the state meet. Other good showings were a ranking of fifth at the Fremont Invitational, and a placing of ninth at the Omaha Metropolitan Meet. Lettermen included senior Ralph Eickhoff, Dave Oppliger, Shannon Cole, and juniors Bob Hopp, Bob Burns, John Ballow, and Steve Anderson. Others making significant contributions to the team effort were John Staub, Dave Kilmer, and Steve Narans. Mr. Dave Stevens coached the team.

Gary Oakeson worked hard to perfect his form. In making a pin, Dave Speicher used a headlock to overcome his opponent. Zane Wiseman showed winning form in this dive. Agile Maneuvers Performed Ken Plugge tried to turn an opponent over to gain a pin. Doug Terry awaited his chance to pin his tough opponent. Tom Henke loosened up by jumping rope before basketball practice began. As many loyal Discovers looked on, Jim Brouse performed a daring maneuver to gain poi nts. By CHS Indoor Sportsmen In the meet with Lincoln Northeast, Jeff Hoge did a double flip with a full twist. One last turn prepared Bill Nickolite for his flying dismount from the high bar. Painstaking rehearsal of his winning routine occupied many of Bill’s practice sessions. The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it. Would but some winged Angel ere too late Arrest the yet unfolded Roll of Fate, And make the stern Recorder otherwise Enregister, or quite obliterate! Yet Ah, that Spring should vanish with the Rose!

Sophomores Bill Gildea, Keith Engleman, and Scott Jensen gave the added depth necessary for a fine season. Columbus linksmen went through the regular season with only one loss, this coming at the hands of Big Ten and State Champion, Norfolk. They compiled a 2-1-2 year’s record. Individually, it was possible to score 14 points. Point totals were: Dave Gildea 11-14, Tom Tredway 7-14, Keith Engleman 5 1 2-14, Bill Gildea 6-14, and Scott Jensen 7 1 2-14. A school record came with a third place finish in the Big Ten. Columbus finished behind champs, Norfolk and Fremont, with 236, the lowest total in Columbus history. Dave Gildea and Tom Tredway turned in fine 78’s. These, added to Bill Gildea’s 80, accounted for the record 236. SENIOR LETTERMEN Dave Gildea and Tom Tredway. VARSITY RACK KO IT.

Thinclads Placed Even though the Discoverers were without the services of an outstanding track and field man, they were still a strong contender in each and every meet. This was due to an all-out team effort in all contests. The absence of a record-shattering athlete on this year’s team did not, however, prove to be a great hindrance, as many of Coach Miller's trackmen turned in top-notch performances. John Schneider, whose specialties were the high and the low hurdles, was the top scorer among this year's thinclads. Mike Floyd, another top performer, was strong in the 880 and in the relays. Ralph Eickhoff, Tim Mattock, Rick Warner, and Dave Sharpe were also valuable assets to the Discoverers. Four CFiS cindermen represented the team in the State track meet. Rick Warner competed in the high jump; John Schneider ran the high and low hurdles; Mike Floyd ran the 880, and Tim Mattock ran in the 440. Warner's jump of five feet ten inches annexed the Class A high jump; Schneider took fifth in the high hurdles, and Floyd placed fifth in the 880 for an eight-point team output in this year's State sports carnival.
