SCHOOL DAYS SCHOOL DAYS l Dawson High School The Dawson High School has been the educational home of fifty-one consecutive Senior Classes, and the Class of 1942 has given D. H. S. an ample send-off in its first year of the second half of a century of constant improvement and progress. In later years we shall cherish the fond memories of Dear Old D. H. S., With its friendships and splendid opportunities. SCHOOL DAYS CDNTENTS FACULTY CLASSES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS FEATURES ADVERTISING KK k 'k FACULTY 1' SCHOOL DAYS Superintendent Herbert E.

MARY LEE MURPHY 1 SCHOOL DAYS CLASS HISTDDY In the spring of 1938, twenty-three green Freshies entered Dawson High School. They completed the Whole school year without losing or gaining any new members. Our class officers were: President, Maxine Kemistg Vice President, Mary Alice Mullinsg Secretary-Treasurer, Ione Heim. We enjoyed several parties at intervals throughout the year. Miss Ada Harding was our sponsor. A When school again took up in the following September, in the fall of 1939, our class had decreased in size. Virginia and Kenneth Martin- osky left us. They went to Humboldt, where they are now attending High School. Gleatha Vice also left us. She moved to Shubert where she later quit school. Then to raise our class number, we welcomed Wilbur Bruhn, who came from Falls City High School. Our enrollment was 21 this year. Miss Nan Riley was the class sponsor. Our class offic- ers were: President, Colleen Mullins, Vice President, Wilbur Bruhn, Secretary-Treasurer, Martin Tiehen. We all had some swell times on class parties. Some of the places We Went to were Sycamore Springs, and then to Falls City, Humboldt and Auburn to movies. During the school term of 1940-41 we had an enrollment of 193 however, We had gained and lost. Norma Patton was a new member from Lincoln. Dorothy Stevicks quit school, Joe Smith also quit school, and Donald O'Grady left us the second semester. Don moved to Den- ver, Colo. Our class officers for the Junior year were: President, Wil- bur Bruhn, Vice President, Martin,'Tieheng Secretary-Treasurer, Myrtle Mae Lanning. Glenn A. Erickson was the class sponsor. A student council was introduced into our High School this term. The problems of the council were to make decisions as to what organi- zations should receive awards, and also to set up rules for the use of the ping pong room and many other problems too numerous to men- tion. The membership was made up of class representatives, elected by the students. Our representatives were Ione Heim and Bill Hasen- yager. We presented the Junior class play, Happy Birthday. It was a great success. Miss Lucille Marker directed the play. The cast was as follows: 1 Jerome Carter 1---.,-,-.-,-..,-..--.-,. Wilbur Bruhn Jerry, his friend and room mate -..A 1-.. Martin Tiehen Mrs. Robard, the landlady ,,.1.... ,--...--. Ione Heim Mr Robard, her husband --.---,, ...... 1- .,,-. , Charles Schutte Norma Patten Gloria Maxwell, J erome's girl friend -.--- ,, .,., -H Lynelle Hock Marlena Stockton, G1oria's companion ---.-.,--- Maxine Kemist Mr. Maxwell, Gloria's father ....1..., -,- .----..,,- Loren Noa Sissy Boardman, Jerry's wealthy aunt ....,,.. Colleen Mullins Minnie, her paid companion ...... ......,. M ary Alice Mullins Lola, Jerry's artist model ......... -.- -...- --- Alice Bernhardt Ada, the maid ---.-.-1--T..--. ....,,..., --- ..,,- SCHOOL DAYS The play was a farce centered around Aunt Sissy, who dropped in on her nephew for an unexpected visit. Jerry, who was behind on his rent, had told his landlady that his Wealthy aunt was coming, thinking she would let him stay, which she did. Marlena was dressed like the aunt, and introduced to the Robards when the real Aunt Sissy came. After the real Aunt Sissy arrived, Lola, the artist model, thought she would help Jerry out, and also came as an Aunt Sissy. It was really a predicament for Jerry, but all ended well. Ada, the maid, was a favor- ite with the audience. The crowd was kept in an uproar from begin- ning until the Very end! We are really glad that the people enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed putting it on! Next came our Banquet for the Seniors. We all journeyed to Old Mexico. This was the theme throughout the entire affair. Room II at the school house was Old Mexico to us. It was brightly decorated with bright crepe paper and lights. Wilbur Bruhn acted as toastmaster and the following program was presented: M-Muchachos Howdy .,.. ., ,... ,- .,.... ....-- .,,, -- Wilbur Bruhn E-El Gracias ,..---c,a-,. ,... ---.- .--H .... ---, N..- William Gibbs X- XD Tacy -.. ..,,., A ,,.l..... ---.-.----- Miss Lucille Marker Trio -. ..a..a.,i Maxine Kemist, Bette Riley, Marian Ulmer I-Inspiration M-, ,a.Y W .a,,.. -vw --.Wm Miss Marian Peterson C-Congratulations, Seniors ,,,.,,...r.. ........

In our Senior year, our class was composed of 20 members. Norma Patton quit school. Mary Lee Murphy was a new member from Stella. Martin Tiehen didn't finish school the second semester, so this brought the number of our membership down to 18. Class officers for our last year were: President, William Hasenyagerg Vice President, Mary Al- ice Mullinsg Secretary, Ione I-Ieimg Treasurer, Nellie Lee Triggs. Will- iam Hasenyager, Colleen Mullins and Wilbur Bruhn represented the class in the Student Council. Supt. H. E. Little was our class sponsor. For our class play we chose Take It Easy, a three-act comedy. The play was written by William Fisher of Falls City, Nebraska. Miss Jeannette Wilkinson directed the play. The cast was as follows: Gloria Highgate - ......................... -. a,.r. Lynelle Hock Mrs. Highgate, Gloria's mother U-- ,,,...... Ione Heim Florence, the maid ,,--,-a--. ...... .,a,, M axine Kemist Mary, the cook ,... ...... - ...... - -, Arlene Curfman Arthur, the yard boy -A ..... ...--.-r Charles Schutte Beagle Jones, the detective .i.. i,,,..,,. i,..... Loren Noa Philip, the butler -un ...,. --l -- - .... William Hasenyager Tom Lawrence .....i..,,. -...- .... Wilbur Bruhn Lon Torence .,.. -.-- Bernard Koelzer John Florence -- ..,,,,,, Glen Ray SCHOOL DAYS The play was centered around Mrs. Highgate, who couldn't re- member either names or faces. She was having her portrait and kit- chen both painted at the same time and she couldn't tell one painter from the other. There were really some thrilling and exciting moments for the entire cast. Philip seemed to be one of the favorite actors with the audience. The play was a success and Was enjoyed immensely by the audience. We had our class pictures taken in October. A representative of Haberman Studio, Friend, Nebraska, took the risk of never being able to use his camera again! We Seniors observed Sneak Day in April. We went to Omaha, where many places of interest were visited. Everyone had a swell time. Our class Was entertained by the Juniors at the annual Junior- Senior Banquet. At intervals throughout the year We had some swell get-togethersf' with Mr. Little as our chaperon. Commencement exercises Were held on May 13, and We descended from Dear Old D. H. S. with memories in our hearts that will never be forgotten. V -Colleen Mullins. SCHOOL DAYS Cl.ASS DIQDDHECY YEAR OF 1952 Loren Noa, our greatest explorer, just returned from Africa, bring- ing with him the most ancient of reptiles, a dinosaur. He got married once, but his wife didn't like the rings in her nose so she divorced him. Poor Loren, that taught him to keep other people's noses out of his business. Arlene is still writing letters to soldiers, but now they call her Aunt Arlene, and some even call her Grandmother. Poor thing, she has aged so much since her husband died and left her with so much money that she had to keep going all the time to spend it. But that hasn't been hard to do, in this day and age. Mary Alice, the only spinster of our class, is still living in the little White cottage on Main Street, spending her leisure time reading her cherished letters that the soldiers and sailors wrote her Way back in 1942. She's still waiting patiently for her sailor to come back from the World War II. Wouldn't he be surprised to know she has a Wig, glass eye and false teeth? Schutte has taken over Minnie's place, assisted by Marilee. It is said he sells the best beer in the county. His son vows he will follow in the footsteps of his father, but some of them are mighty crooked. Nellie Lee, our most glamorous, blonde divorcee, has just returned from her sixth trip to Reno. She appears on NBC Thursday evening as the most apt to fail violinist. But we wouldn't know her now, as she has dyed her hair auburn. Hasenyager is serving his country as commander of a fleet in the Pacific. They say he's doing right well. He isn't married yet and vows he won't be. He was jilted once in his school days and it soured him on women. After ten years of married life, Myrtle Mae has gone on the stage, featured as a ballet dancer, leaving her twins with her mother-in-law. Her flaming romance of high school days is only a wee flicker now, but Charlie is hoping it will burst into flame once again. Barney is now residing in the vicinity of DuBois Where he can at- tend all the dances South of the Border. This is most confidential, but it is rumored that he has a crush on the proprietor. Max is still searching for THE man of her dreams-the man she has been seeking since high school days. She has her ad in all the Lonely Hearts magazines in the country, but it has all been in vain, but she still has high hopes for the future. I I I ' 4 V' SCHOOL DAYS Mary Lee Murphy has made a big name for herself in the field of Ancient History. Her classmates are not at all surprised because they remember her proficiency in remembering history dates. The shifting sands of an Egyptian desert uncovered an unknown pyramid and she is now leading a party in the investigation of the ancient tomb. Wilbur, our great actor, is very successful. Great critics have said, Wilbur is the greatest discovery since the days of Charlie McCarthy. Wilbur is now the greatest heart-throb of all the teen-age girls this side of Hollywood. You remember Colleen went to Arizona. She's now living in Cali- fornia and is married to a millionaire. Her blue-blood society friends would be so shocked to know that Colleen came from a small mid- west village. Please keep it a secret! Ione Heim, author of the best seller of the month, In With the Calm, returned to her own home town to visit and lecture for the Women's Club. She also teaches at the University of Nebraska in Lin- coln. It is rumored that she, too, is engaged. Lynelle has turned out to be the typical stenographer, engaged to her boss. They are to be married soon. But you wouldn't recognize Lynelle, as she has become quite plump and dignified. Beachy will soon return from the Marines. He has never married. It seems that Dorothy, his schoolday sweetheart, jilted him. But we heard that he knows all the night clubs back east. Do you suppose he knows any of those glamour girls? Evelyn has the maternal instinct, a huge one. She is supervisor for an orphanage back east. She and Leroy were divorced recently. It seems that the orphanage is the apple of her eye, and Leroy was only a side attraction. t Dorothy Ann is our angel of mercy. She is head nurse in a hospital in California. Her marriage recently was outstanding as she married the janitor of the hospital. Oh, well, she Will have someone to clean house for her, Won't she? , And last, but not least, Alice's flaming romance of high school days finally blossomed out. She and Gentry live on a farm near York. .alice has changed considerably as she now wears glasses and is quite p ump. So we leave our class of 1942, considerably changed, but we ex- tend our best Wishes to them. Nellie Lee Triggs Arlene Curfman Dorothy Ann Meyerkorth Alice Bernhardt. scuooi DAYS CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1942, of Dawson High School, State of Nebraska, being of sound UD mind and memory, and considering the uncertainty of this graduating class, do therefore make, obtain, publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament: Lamoine Beachy' leaves his Senior year desk in the assembly to any Junior Who Wants it--unless he gets it first again.

The organization of the Student Council took place in 1940. The representatives are chosen by the classes, and the Superintendent is the sponsor. Nine members compose the Council, with the upper classes having the greatest number of repre- sentatives. The members serve one year only. A Senior is elected president, while a Junior is automatically elected vice president. The Student Council takes charge of all school activities and sponsors the var- ious activities which operate within the school during school hours. Among the projects put into function by the Student Council are: the operation of the game rooms during the winter months, the arrangement of the award system now used, and the publication of the Red and White, 1941-1942. The Council also arranged for the student body to view several motion pictures through- out the year. Student Council Officers, 1941-1942. President rr.. ., ..r,.., , .. ....

Paul Duryea, the red head, has two more years of service for Dawson at the forward post. He already has two basketball letters to his credit. Roy Auxier, Bill's brother, has held down a guard position for two years, and probably will for two more, since he is only a Sophomore. Last, but not least, Bill Vossen, the remaining Sophomore guard. He started as a forward when a Freshman, but this year he has held down his guard position from the first game.

Volley ball was inaugurated in the Dawson Schools in the fall of 1938. From the very first, the sport proved popular and by the spring of 1939, the girls had won the consolation cup in the Richardson County Little Ten Association volley ball tournament. During the school year of 1939-1940, new red and white volley ball suits were purchased, and with these as added inspiration, the team was runner-up in the second volley ball tournament to be held in the Little Ten conference. The year 1940-1941 was destined to be the outstanding season for the Dawson volleyballers, for in that year they copped the Little Ten championship by crushing Salem. This school year, 1941-1942, witnessed seven pre-tournament games, four of which were victories for the Dawson girls. The first team consists of Colleen and Mary Alice Mullins, Dorothy and Myrtle Mae Lanning, Ella Mae Sinnett, Marilee Loll- man, Dorothee Yates and Lucille Rexroth. Four of these girls, the Lanning sisters and the Mullins sisters, have been on the regular squad ever since the team was organized. SCHOOLDAYS ' if mm SCHOOL DAYS x A .

Lowell Helmick, Eugene Wopata, Lawrence Gerlt, Gene Ray, Lowell Heim, Charles Schutte, LaMoine Beachy and Loren Noa have checked out equipment and expect to participate this year. Every member of the squad is looking forward to the Little Ten Track Meet, which is to be held in Auburn. Under the watchful eyes of Mr. Williams, our coach, the Tracksters are working out regularly and expect to do their best for Mr. Williams and with the assurance that this season is to be another lap in the race of accomplishments for Dawson High School. I i SNEAIY DAY On Wednesday, April 8, 1942, at 6 a.m., the Seniors of Dawson High School were actually starting on that oft-thought-of and long-awaited-for so-called Sneak Day. Fifteen members of the class and Supt. Herbert E. Little chartered Orville Wuster's bus and we were off for a big time! After a short stop in Nebraska City we arrived in Omaha, our destination, at 9:00 a. m. Our first stop was at Boys' Town, where we were shown about the premises and inspected their various shops, dormitories, and saw some of their workmanship in the woodworking shop, sheet metal and pottery shops. After returning to Omaha from Boys' Town we stopped at the Joslyn Memorial, where the highlight attraction was an interview with a London Auxiliary Fire- man. He accompanied various relics and debris, left by the fires in London, and had many expensive paintings, which were painted by one of the members of his group. . Immediately after dinner we visited the Fairmont Creamery and witnessed the stages of butter making as well as viewing the ice cream department. Art the close of this trip each of our group was treated with an ice cream bar. ' From the Creamery we went to Supreme Bakers' plant and watched crackers being made.Besides seeing the cracker process, we saw how cookies are manu- factured. After nearly an hour of joy walking we were given a box of cookies, which seemed to disappear readily. At this point in our trip we went out to the Municipal Airport. After an imagin- ary landing, we viewed the various buildings from the outside only, and then went to the cafeteria where we waited for an incoming plane. At 4:42 we saw the first passenger plane land. Before we finally took off, we saw three planes land and two depart. Everyone seemingly enjoyed this visit as much as any place we visited. We then returned to Omaha and spent the rest of the evening as we pleased. After a short stop in Nebraska City on the way back, we arrived home at an early CU hour, and called our Sneak Day 100 per cent complete, with all the trim- mings included. H SCHOOL DAYS H I.lTl'l.E TEN TIQACK MEET The Dawson Lions retained their championship at the Little Ten Track Meet by a wide margin. The Lions clearly showed their power in all of the events except the hurdles. The Dawson team was paced by Billy Auxier, who garnered four firsts and a third for a total of 22 points. In the javelin throw, Auxier eclipsed the record of 149 feet, six inches, held by Orville Yocum, with a throw of 152 feet, six inches. This was the only record broken as the field was not in good condition. 100 Yard Dash-B. Auxier CDD lst: Sailors CShD 2ndg Schutte CDD 3rdg Snodgrass CSD 4th. Time 11 sec. v 220 Yard Dash-B.

This procedure was followed until Christmas, since which time the practice has been discontinued. Because of a paper shortage and a wish to aid the government by conserving in every way possible, the staff secured permission from the editor of The Dawson Herald, Chas. M. Ross, to have its news printed each week in The Herald. Every week, news of the Lion's Mirror appears on page two of the local newspaper.
