As seniors, these students leave, experiencing these same feeling? respect or education and their fellow man and anticipation of the opportunities that will presented to them. Deshler High, Our Past, Present The events in our past, of monu- mental importance are r el ated di- rectly to our school life. M aking friends and learning to live with oth- ers, and acquiring knowledge c on - tributed reciprocally to our develop- ment. In the present, the good times of our school career recur in our minds as well as in reality and will continue to do so. The shouts of players and fans alike, the applause at school concerts, and traditional events are pleasant expectations, but it is for our future that DHS is im- portant to us. Our education is our future. It p r e p a r e s us for the re- sponsibility that is laid b ef or e us and without it we have no futur e. Our education enables us to function as responsible human beings and to find our place in a challenging world. and Future Fall Brings Fun and Friends The first day of school!

Sincerely Junior Ferebee PRINCIPAL'S ADDRESS To become a success, always bear in mind, that wanting to succeed, along with intelli- gent self-direction and confidence, is the most important guiding force for success in any undertaking. Principal Larsen Superintendent Ferebee Within the walls of this school is a complex world, complete in itself, but affected by the world around it. Prob- lems are continually being forced upon us by a society which is placing in- creasing demands on its youth and the teachers who must train them. The re- sponsibility of solving these problems falls solely upon the students and the instructors, c o un s el o r s,and admini- strators who must guide them. The Administration hop e s to im- press upon each student not only the importance of education but also of co- operation and compatibility with others These qualities and ability to face th e uncertain future with hope and c onf i- dence, together constitute an intangible factor. Once equipped with their t o ol s the Administration feels th at it c an cope with any situation successfully. 3 5 fi Q X E' i J .'j1 A 1 Q J . if E How sweet it is!

Quickness and efficiency are seen in the kitchen of Deshler High as the schoo1's three cooks, Mrs. Koch, Mrs. Brettmann, and Mrs. I-Ioffmeyer, are kept busy with the long line of students demanding lunch, The school's smooth running c an be traced back to these five school employees. In the office, the bills are paid, books are kept, and just about every other thin g is done. A student or teacher is forever need- ing something and he will generally find it in the office with the aid of Mildred Uphoff. Hot lunches are a basic asset to Deshler High despite moans and groans heard from some of the students when their favorite meal isn't served. F ood is given out in quick order thanks to the three efficient cooks, Mrs. Koch, Mrs. Brettrnann, and Mrs. Hoffmeyer. Students never seem to appreciate the work of the custodian, but it is surprising how they would holler if the rooms were a mess. But Frank Koerwitz proves to be more than a custodian, he is also a fix-it man and head of the lost and found. School just wou1dn't be the same with- out these helpers. Cleanliness in the school is something most of the students take for rimmed. Polishing t e floors is only one of Fra Koerwitz's many jobs. W' 5 5, lg.. 5 'Ta -- ' f 2-:-:HEYQ X -k.

There has been so much going on in D.H.S. I just don't know how,I can put it all in words. The biggest thing I found about D.H.S. was the way everybody treated you, they were always so friendly. It's been so much mn being in every- thing like pep club, seeing OUR boys playing football, basketball, and wrestling for OUR school. All that is left to say, I guess, is that I'm proud to be a student of D.H.S. Bye for now Freshman of D.H.S. waiting for an answer Mr Ringo Freshmen find more exciting ways to figure out their algebra problems. Math For a Good Figure Mathematics is a highly competitive field. Therefore, a background in this subject is a necessity in many future occu- pations offered to the college graduate. Deshler is proud to have Mr. Frye and Mr. Rlne, who make the mathematics course more stimulating by re- vealing to the students the newer aspects of high school math. Students use their initiative and intelligence to calculate everyday math problems. Their efforts bring them success and a better mmderstanding of the world of numbers around them. Students Gain Historical Insight Pam, you're not paying attention again! What can happen to a bill on the floor of the House? Why .... it can get dirty, be stepped on or even be swept up! History students discover what it means to become an American citizen through knowledge of past hardships and victories. Because history seens to repeat itself, a thor- ough knowledge benefits its students of the nation they live in.

In the highly competitive world where the way in which one speaks and expresses himself has become increas- ingly important, we are fortunate to be able to take advantage of the excellent Language Department at Deshler High School. Mr. Renz, Mrs. Torbeck, and Mrs. Rine encourage students to use their imaginations in writing, express their personal feelings in debates and discus- sions, and read for their own enjoyment Actual class participation in read- ing plays captures and holds the stu- dent's attention and interest. Panel discussions about various controversial subjects develop one's ability to reason clearly and voice his opinionbefore the entire class. By undertaking an intense and comprehensive study Deshler's Language classes gained a deeper ap- preciation of the fine points of English and Spanish. 1 ,L:,.

It is important also that the general public is able to understand the me- chanical aspects of our advancing technology. For these reasons Deshler offers a se- quence of Industrial Arts for high school boys. Under the direction of Mr. Bradley, each student learns to use the many machines in the Shop department, thus obtaining a Com- Jim watches admiringly as Mr. Bradley demonstrates plete background of carpentry for pleasure or p1-Qfession, Senior craftsmen utilize skills learned previously to truly create industrial art. l Nancy learns that careful measuring is important for the final results As always, the senior girls went to their tasks with great diligence.?? Products such as delicious food and flattering garments were the basis for lasting lessons in cooperation and skill this year in Home Economics. A variety of courses including grooming, interior decorating, and child care were also taught by Mrs. Torbeck in HOPES of making her students better homemakers. Home Ec. Mixes Fun With Work Wow!

A schoolyyear of speech preparation came to a climax with the F ine Arts Festival at the University of Nebraska. Those participating included all the stu- dents of Speech I and II. The categories and participants were: Oral Interpreta- tion of Prose Lit., Linda Schardtg In- terpretative Public Address, Rod Eber- hardtg Informative Public Speaking, Judy Harmsg Extemporaneous Speaking, Carol Schardtg Poetry Reading, Sally Abelbeckg Oral Reading of Drama entitled Enter the Hero g One-Act Play, Cupid Is a Bum, Is a Bum, Is a Bum. All of the entries made a very good showing c on- sidering a limited amount of experience. The play and the reading of drama were first attempts this year.

During the past year the sci- ence students have learned much about the world they live in. Many minute and seemingly unimportant details have been brought to their attention. Thus, scientific knowl- edge has broadened many high school minds in a seemingly short period. Labwork Expands Scientific Knowledge Is that bug still on the ruler, Ive? Mr. Frye originated some thought provoking assignments for his physics class this year. Students found that P also stood for plenty and and perplexing problems.

Typing students make many errors at first, but as the year advances, so students advance in accuracy and speed. usiness Students Gbtain Skill Bookkeeping student Larry Flathman, utilizes class time for study. The pace is fast and furious for all commercial students as accuracy and efficiency are important factors to obtain desired skill. Goals are set by each indi- vidual student as to weekly improvement in speed. Typing and shorthand are taught by Mrs. Pitts and bookkeeping is under the direction of Mrs. Renz. Both teachers are conscientious and willing to help their students achieve higher goals. Timed writings, taking dictation and charting accounts are all necessary skills for future businessmen and secre- taries. 3 2 N News Reverberates Throughout Tale With a sure eye for the who, what, where, when, and why of school activities, Dragon Tale staff members worked with accuracy and efficiency to produce a school newspaper with something for everyone.

Mozarts. 5, At the present time there is a widespread interest in l is t e n i n g to good music and this interest continues to grow. Even more significant is t h e curr ent emphasis of intelligent and perceptive listening, as opposed to the idea which was prevalent a few years ago. The Music Theory students spent the first semester of their school year seeking something more from music than passive entertainment. They ob- tained not only a wider acquaintance with music, but a deeper understand- ing of what they heard. But information about music is of little value unless the acquisition of historical information is applied. The second semester was then spent on the essential historical information that has a direct bearing upon the music of a given period, or else upon the devel- opment of musical trends. , i One thing about music theory Steve sure had an amazing amount Yes, even Carol had an amazing class, the students were always of something even if it wasn't talent. amount of talent on her accordian. happy and friendly.

Wrestling is a very important and prominent part of Deshler's athletic pro- gram. At Deshler, the spirit of the team is comparable to the enthusiasm of the partic- ipants in the international c o mp e t it iv e world. Their efforts to win District or State are certainly equal to the efforts displayed by professional wrestlers. The wrestler, as any athlete, whether a professional or a high school student must accept defeat as well as victory. Al- though the Dragons did very well as a team this year, obtaining a 6 to 1 record, each boy had to experience individual d ef e at. Deshler can be proud of the fine s ports - manship shown by her 67-68 wr e s tl in g team.

Records Fall in '68 Season The track squad this year was a young but successful one. Several new school rec- ords were set. Ken Loontjer set a new rec- ord of 23.5 in the 220 yard dash. Don Weg- ' ener broke the previous Triple Jump record if with a jump of 39 feet 6 inches. Darrel li r , Schmidt broke the record for the 2 mile run ..... with a time of 10:33.4, this was also a new conference record. The team made fine showings at several invitational meets and placed sixth in the Southern Nebraska Con- ference Meet. At the District Meet in Heb- ron, Ken Loontjer placed first in the 440 yd. dash and second in the 220 yd. dash, allowing him to attend the State Meet at Kearney. Flying over the low hurdles to gain several firsts in competetion is Tom Pagel, a junior.

The out-going couple must soon place their crowns on Deshler High's new king and queen. Everyone was all smiles at the event, especially these two girls. Homecoming This year, a whole week of homecoming festivities were planned to initiate s chool spirit. Grubby day, and dress-up day were just some of the names given to the days of the week. The week was climaxed when the pep rally was held downtown around the flag pole. During the halftime of the Deshler Red Cloud game the Coronation took place in the center of the field. The '66 king and queen, Brad C abrera and Sharon Brettmann, crowned this years royalty, Charles Fintel, and Barb Koch. The newly crowned couple received gifts and Barb was presented one dozen red roses. To complete the celebration a dance by the Wayne Elgert Band was held after the game in the gymnasium. Here, Laurie Kettlehut and John Brook anticipate their part in the coronation. Arm in arm, the newly crowned couple promenade oif the field. All eyes are on Kimi Charles and Queen Barb as they start off the omecoming dance.

The Deshler Pep Club kept busy with various activities this year. The girls made pop corn and C andy to sell, yelled in the halls and at games and used tons of papers for the mil- lions of posters. The off i c e r s en- forced the rules of the Constitution and provided humor my for some of the pep rallies. The pep club bought new outfits this year, they consisted of purple A line skirts, white button down collar blouses, white letter sweaters with purple ohevrons and year numbers and saddle shoes. Each year the club votes for an outstanding member from each class who did a great amount of w ork to help the pep club. They also vote for an outstanding c h e e rl e a d e r.

On November 17, the curtains parted to reveal the Senior class and its presentation of the comedy Deadly Ernest , It all started when Henry's boss fired him, his girl gave him the cold shoulder, and his Aunt Ethel threw him out of the boarding house. While spending the night in the park, Henry met Mr. Bumpus. He poured out his troubles to Bumpus, who told him he had a friend named Ernest who would, for S17.83, put Henry out of his mis- ery. Henry paid Bumpus and returned home to find Q13 Aunt Ethel had for- given him, 42j his girl wanted another chance, Q35 his boss gave him his job back with a raise. Everything was fine until-you guessed it-Henry re- membered Ernest.

You mean ou're really going to get into that rubber banci,l'?I The fun all starts when Harriet Martin, owner of Golden Acres Farm and boarding house and is noted for her impulsive storms , receives a letter from the In- ternal Revenue Office saying that she owes income tax on her cow's milk. H arr iet , naturally, refused to pay the tax because of her stubborn nature. The plot thickens when Paul Williams arrives at Golden Acres Farm. H a r r 1 et finds that she is falling in love with this handsome boarder. Hidden from H a r r i e t was the fact that Paul was the investigator who is investigating her case. After Harriet finds out Pau1's real identity s he really blows a hurricane. She had to be put into jail for evading her income tax. Everything ends happily, though, be- cause Paul finds that Harriet had lost mon- ey on her cow and had even made an over- payment at one time so she no longer had any income tax to pay. She and Paul then go off to Niagara Falls on their honeymoon. Students Enio Elegance Whe,re'5 your girl Fred? Moonlight and Roses was the theme for this year's Junior-Senior Banquet, held May 3, 1968. The gym was decorated with hundreds of roses which cov ered a trellis-style swing. Other beautiful attractions were a wishing well and a gold fish pond. Dennie Phelps, Junior Class President welcomed the group and G ayl on Loontj er returned the Senior's thanks. The Junior mothers prepared a deli- cious meal and it was served by the fresh- men. The Misty Crystals favored the audi- ence with several vocal selections. M r .

Entertainment Comes in ariety at D.H Happiness is spelled out on the faces of The Deshler Singers. THE NEW SOCIETY was a very important pan of the music department this year and especially as part of the Deshler Singers. From left to right: Don Freeman, Duane Engel, Steven Koch, Dennis Hoops, Craig Btmtem- eyer. Performing while they sing is one of the Deshler Singers specialties. Above is seen the boys showing their appreciation to the girls. The group is called The Deshler Sing- ers and consists of a wide range of talent produced by twenty students. The Singers are accompanied by,Teresa Schultz fr om Ruskin and directed by Mr. Cecil Gorey. Variety in entertaining is their spe- caility and it is shown in many ways. Hit music is provided by the combog solos are sung by Linda Schardt and Rod Eberhardt: amusement by Sally Abelbeck and Mary Jo Zucker: a twirling routine by Pat Albrecht: and a boys' quartet and a girl's number with Mr. Gorey as the lead singer is al so given. The whole group sings moving and musical numbers. The Deshler Singers have given per- formances in many different places throughout Nebraska, including K e a r n e y, Lincoln, and Hastings, to name a few other than Deshler. The group was also invited to represent Nebraska at the Hemisfair in Texas for which they were very pleased. Their performing couldn't be half as good as it is, though, without the support of their school and community. Soloist, Linda Schardt, of the Deshler Singers finishes her tune with an exhilarating smile for her viewers. New Day -- New Challenge Valedictorian, Carol Schardt. Several seniors were awarded scholarships and special recognition on graduation. They were the following: Caro Schardt, Glenda Schmidt, Bruce Reinboth, Alan Holle, Charles Fintel, Dianne Koester, Duane Engel, and Louis Vieselmeyer. Salutatorian, Glenda Schmidt. Twenty-eight seniors were in the gym of DHS on the evening of May 17, together as a class, for the last time. They felt hap- py and proud of having reached this go al, but yet feeling just a little confused, a lit- tle unsure of the future, perhaps ev en a little afraid. Graduation is a funny word for such a combination of h a p p in e s s and sorrow. The future will be a new chapter in their book of life, commencement closes the high school chapter, but it is a climax that doesn't destroy the friendships they have formed or the knowledge that was gained. May 17 the seniors paus ed to look back over 4 years, years that had me ant good times and bad times for all of them. But now they will look forward to tomor- row, not because they want to forget Deshler but because they believe that they are ready and hopefully even impatient for a new day and a new challenge. r 3 Q 8 To Dream the Impossible Dream. . . . .

NORMAN ERWIN ZOCH In the past years at Deshler, the Seniors have eagerly participated in various activities with the hope that they were in some way helping their successors, and at the s ame t im e, measuring up to their predecessors. Through the guidance of teachers, diligence in study, unending efforts to succeed, the Seniors have been furnished with the tools that will enable them to lead a productive life. They have been instilled with the knowledge that will guide their future. They have learned the rewards and hardships of life, experienced competition, accepted innumerable responsibilities, and have become leaders. The Seniors will never forget their Alma Mater. All the memories of the Prom, cl a s s plays, games, and good times Deshler gave them, will often be recalled. Graduation night is the final moment of the Seniors' high school years, the last step they will take before enter- ing the outside world. But Deshlers' Seniors are well prepared to take this step and will take advantage of the vast opportunities in choosing their careers. Is it to be college, the business world, or the armed forces? The choice is theirs.

Yet a chain is nothing without the indi- vidual links that make it up. If one link is weak, then the chain is weak: if one link is missing the whole chain loses its effectiveness. Each one of us is a link in a chain...the chain of life. This is a tremendous responsibility and each of us must assume our responsibilities, not only for our benefit, but for the sake of all. It is up to each one of us to develop our own special talent and to use it well. Each of us is a unique link in the chain and cannot be replaced by th ano er. Cooperation is necessary for the links to be united in a chain. Each person must realize the worth of the other and not try and force his own ideas upon others but rather be openminded. The best form of cooperation is friendship. No man is an island said John Donne and it is true that we all need someone, we need each other. Every happiness is greater, every grief easier to bear if we can share it with another. We are all linked together by this need for each other. We of the 1968 DRAGON offer this book to you as a record of your past year at DHS but also as a challenge to you to accept your responsibili- ties and involvement in the chain of mankind.
