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
