IUIU-W20 Senior Class History The ('lass of 1920 began ith successful career in F. C. II. S. on September 1. 1917. As Freshmen, we attracted a great deal of attention, not altogether because of our mistakes, but because of our eagerness to take part in all phases of high school life. Much excitement was manifested at our first class meeting, at which we chose the following Freshmen to positions of prominence: Pres- ident. Velda Farlow; Vice President. Stacy Hoy; Secretary. Edgar Mathers; Treasurer. Pryce Birdsley. Mr. Smith was chosen class sponsor by a large majority. A few social events during our first year, we will never forget, among which is the initiation given by the Sophomores. In return, we gave them a Hallowe’en Party which added materially to the joys of the year. Although rather green, as most Freshmen are. we were anxious to follow in the footsteps of our much admired upper classmen, so we took part as best we could. In athletics, we were represented by Stacy Hoy, William Goetz and Sanborn Cook. Also, a class basketball team was formed, which contained some material for a winning team in later years. In the fall of 1918. the much abused but energetic class of ’20 laid aside her childish ways of the previous year, and entered the field of school activities as distinguished Sophomores. As is customary, the first class meeting was given to the election of officers. The following were wisely chosen: President. Clyde Massey; Vice President, Gladys Ix velace; Secretary. Dora Winkler; Treasurer. Edgar Mathers. Mr. Smith was again chosen class advisor. There were comparatively few social functions during our second year, but nevertheless, we had lots of pep and the right spirit, as was shown by our accomplishments in the class room. As usual, we initiated the Freshmen as our first and most important event of the year. Three of our members. Eleanor Kelley. Esther Jen kins, and Daisy Barton were on the Girls’ Basketball Team, and they did some playing well worthy of mention. Stacy Hoy was the only Sophomore on the Football and Basketball teams, and we felt proud of him for the splendid work that he did. and for representing our class. In accordance with the times, we were also patriotic, to be sure. The class bought a Liberty Bond, pledged to the Bed Cross, bought Thrift Stamps, and refrained from eating candies and sweets. We are duly proud of our stand on such matters of vital importance. After a vacation full of experiences, the well-known class of '20 returned to high school to take up the numerous duties and responsibilities awaiting them as Juniors. For two years we had been in training that we might successfully fill the vacancy left for us. This we did to the best of our ability. The class officers elected for our third year were: President. Stacy Hoy; Vice President. Law- rence Weinert; Secretary and Treasurer. Dora Winkler. Miss Kauffman was chosen sponsor for the class. After due deliberation we decided upon the style of our class pins and rings. These rings and pins are liked not only by ourselves but by all who see them, because of the exclusive style. As Juniors, we were naturally expected to take a more active part in athletics, and so we did. I awrence Weinert. Stacy Hoy, Clyde Massey. Louis Buising. and Charles Heineman made a splendid showing on the football team. Our president and fellow-classman. Stacy Hoy. was chosen captain for the next season. The basketball season was almost an impossibility because of the effects of the influenza. Baseball, a new sport for our high school, was introduced, and Louis Buising, Pryce Jones. Fifteen FALLS CITY IIICII SCHOOL Stacy Hoy. Charles Helser. and Clyde Massey won positions on the team. The important, long-looked-for social event of our Junior year was the Junior-Senior Banquet, given on Saturday. April 26th. Much time was used and effort expended in planning extensively for this eventful date. The banquet was a grand success, due largely to the untiring effort of our sponsor. Miss Kauffman. On September 9. 1919. we returned to F. C. H. S. for our last year together. So glad were we to be behind the walls or the old school, that we dreaded to think of the time when we must part. In the beginning of the year we found many strangers in our midst, so we planned a get-together picnic, which took place in Nutter’s Grove. The picnic was successful, and everyone went home with hunger subdued after partaking of several helpings to sandwiches, coffee, etc. In order to put a little life into things later in the year, we planned a “tacky party” and invited the faculty. The affair proved to be a blue killer” for all. The class officers for the year were: President. Law- rence Weinert; Vice President, Gladys Lovelace; Secretary and Treasurer, Dora Winkler. Miss Lyford was chosen class advisor, and a wise choice was made, for she has always been willing to help us and has done much for the class. As in former years, we wfere well represented this year in athletics. On the football team we had six promi- nent players: Clyde Massey. Lloyd Hahn. Louis Liuising. Paul Keim. Walter Gerhardt. Lawrence Weiner!, and Stacy Hoy (Captain). In basketball, the following made their letters: Keim. Weinert and Hoy. We feel proud of these fellows, for they have indeed made many sacrifices in order to keep our school foremost in athletics. We were represented on the girls’ basketball team by Esther Jenkins and Myrtle Nedrow. These girls did splendid work for which they can be duly complimented. When the Student Council was organised, the following Seniors were chosen as members of the Cpuncil: Gladys Lovelace. Lawrence Weinert. Stanley Fink, and Stacy Hoy. Hoy was chosen vice president of the Council. Many changes have been made in our high school since we entered four years ago. Many more will be made in years to come, but no matter how many or how great they may be. nothing will erase from our memory the pleasant and profitable days we have enjoyed during our high school course. We have at all times tried to do what we thought best, in order that we might set the proper example for the classes behind us. We hope, although gone, the Class of ’20 will not be forgotten. Last, but not least, we wish to thank the faculty for the interest and patience they have shown in our behalf in making our school life worth while. It is with regret that we leave them and our friends of the under classes. Sixteen Oli’WdK I III. U K. 19W-UW) Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1920 Ladies and (ientlemen. Hoard of Education, Superintendent. Teachers and Friends: lTpon behalf of my Client, the Class of 1920. of the Falls City High School, of the City of Falls City. State of Nebraska, I have called you together, upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament. and to receive from her dying hands the few gifts which she has to bestow in her last moments. Cutting too rapidly loose from life and finding so many things of gigantic importance to be attended to. realizing at the same time that she has no more lime to spend in cultivation of her own virtues, she did collectively and individually deem it best to distribute these virtues with her own hand to her friends to whose needs they seem best fitted. She has tried to be just, as well as generous and impartial and to distribute wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts as she has within her power to bestow—the talents that have served her so faithfully during the past four years. These are her decisions, arrived at after careful thought and deliberation. Owing to the flighty condition of her brain, she begs of me to state for her that she might possibly have been mistaken in her inventory: but such things as she thinks she has, she gives into your possession, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. Listen, then, one and all, as I read the document, duly drawn and sworn: We the Class of 1920. in thirty-five individual and distinct parts, being about to pass from this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, a trained memory, and an almost super human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby making void all former wills or promises heretofore made. First, we direct that our funeral services be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our superintendent and his ever-confident faculty, who have been our faithful guardians, only asking that the services be carried on with all the pomp that our worth, our merit, our talents, our attainments, and our positions as revered seniors must certainly have deserved. To the Faculty, who have been our kind and patient instructors, we give and bequeath an unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. We realize that we have been quite a strain on them, for seniors are said to be difficult to manage. But they have done their duty faithfully, and now shall have their well-earned reward. To the faculty we also bequeath all the startling knowledge and information that has come to them from our test papers, realizing that all such information was entirely new to them, and will prove helpful to them in their future work. They are at liberty to use or not to use this knowledge, at their own discretion. Seventeen FALLS CITY HHiH SCHOOL To Superintendent Groves we give and bequeath our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, and our heartiest gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. Individually, we have a few things which may seem trifling bequeaths. Hut we hope that they will be accepted. not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who will receive them, and a continual reminder of the great generosity in our free and full bestowal: To our Sponsor, Miss Lyford. our sincere expression of love and admiration, and our heartiest gratitude for her interest shown in us.

Nineteen FALLS CITY IIHIII SCHOOL Prophecy of the Class of 1920 The night nfter our commencement exercises I was sitting before the fireplace at home thinking of and living over again those past four years I had spent at Palls City High School. I must have fallen asleep for it seemed that I was sitting in the lobby of tin new hotel in Falls City: I looked around and everything seemed strange to me. While I was wondering a newsl oy entered and I purchased a paper of him. It was the Kalis City Journal, dated 1932. and in the upper left hand corner was an insert which ran thus: Published by Paul Ferdinand Keim, successor to A. It. Keim. Across tin top ran a great headline, “Miss Knight elected first woman president of the United States on Suffragist ticket.” I read on and found also that a great many women had been elected to fill places in Congress. Among the list I found two whom I knew. Garnet Hiatt and Nellie Hillyard, both elected from the state of Nebraska. I had scarcely recovered from this shock when Walter Ger-hardt came into the hotel lobby. I learned from him that he was now the head of a motion picture producing corporation. He asked me if I would not accompany him on a trip to Colorado where he was producing his latest picture: of course I consented and started over to settle with the hotel proprietor who to my surprise was none other than Thelma Griffin, another schoolmate. We entered the elevator and ascended to the top of the hotel, some twenty stories. I believe. Here stood a large passenger airplane that was Just geting ready to start. Standing l esid� the plane was a young lady in a trim uniform, presumably the driver, and as we approached she spoke to us. 1 looked at her closely and recognized her as Grace Heed an old school friend. We asked her not to drive too fast when we were in the car. We climbed into the airplane and I was astounded by the luxurious fixtures and general appearance: Just like a parlor car on the Twentieth Century Limited. The lady who collected the fares was none other than Gertrude Wilt so. We were soon on our way speeding through the air at a great speed. We were passing over a long field surrounded on all sides by large factory buildings, and Walter explained that this was one of the plants of the great Henderson Manufacturing Company of which Harold was the head. In four hours we were in Colorado and the plane landed near the place where Walter's company was producing pictures. some few miles from Denver. Walter's car was awaiting us and guess who was sitting in the chauffer's seat: none other than Glenn Hughes. Glenn always said he wanted to Ik- a minister but I guess he was mistaken in his calling. We were soon on the scene and just think who was leading lady? Grace Hinton, considered the leading vampire in motion pictures of the day. The director told me in confidence that he considered red headed girls better vamps than any other. We did not tarry here long but reentered the car and were soon in Denver. Glenn did not waste any time either, which was the cause of our getting arrested soon after we entered the outskirts of the city. We were taken to a police court where luckily I.m-Ila Weinert was presiding Judge, and we escaped with a light fine and advice not to try it over. On the way to supper we noticed on a large billboard: Come and Hear Marie Gelding, the Greatest Opera Singer of the age.” tonight. Of course we attended the opera and Marie certainly did credit to herself and her title. Irma Casey accompanied Marie with a violin and at the close gave a beautiful violin solo. We started to the hotel from the opera and were attracted by- a large crowd gathered about the window of a Twenty t ook store. Wo stopi ed to see what interested them and found that it was a new dictionary of the Knglish l«anguage written by Miss Dora Winkler, with about a block of degrees attached. That’s just like Dora, running competition to Webster. That ended the adventures of one day. lOarl.v next morning we hoard a great clamor in the street: rushing to the window we saw a parade consisting of women carrying banners and pennants celebrating the fact that they had elected a woman suffragist president. The two ladies leading the parade were Maigaret Daeschner and Mabel Auxier. l oth now strong party lenders In the city. While eating breakfast my attention was drawn to a very beautiful lady sitting at the next table. I asked Walter who she was and he told me that she was our old school friend. Mae Zoollers. now lender in society circles in that town, and that the two ladles with her were I-ela Hahn and Bernice Harkins, stopping over here on their way to Palm Beach to spend the summer. After a while we started on a tour of the country about in Walter’s car and it was Just our luck to run out of gasoline about ten miles from any town. We saw a school house down the road several blocks and started down there to see if we could get some gas. Verna Massey was the teacher and she directed us to n farm house on the top of the next hill. We proceeded to the farm house where Margaret Metzgar was mistress, and of course we had no trouble getting some gasoline when we had introduced ourselves. We started back to town and as we were returning to the city we saw a bunch of buildings all surrounded by large shade trees, and with a Twenty-one ORAXtiE IVn {LACK. 1919-1920 grand golf course in the background. Waller told me that this was the Spinster Club, and as we drove slow to see the heauti-ful buildings we recognized Beatrice Kottman. Elsie Pribheno. Pauline Vandervoort. and Clara Werner sitting on the veranda. We soon passed this up and again entered the city. That afternoon we attended the great Welnert Circus then showing in town. Lawrence was owner and general manager, so we got in for nothing. We saw Stacy Hoy, the greatest acrobat of all time do hair-raising stunts of all kinds: and also Price Birdslvy. clown. King of Kun-makers. Gladys Lovelace was the animal trainer and it certainly took nerve to enter the big caged arena with those wild animals, yet they seemed to have a great affection for her, just like most of the fellows who went to school with her. We returned by rail to Falls City the next day and as we were walking tip Stone street I noticed a sign in front of a large building. “Jenkins Morton. Lady Tailors,” Most Up-to-Date Styles in Ladies' Hand Tailored Clothing. I learned that Esther and Evelyn had opened this shop some time soon after graduating and were now doing a thriving and prosperous business. We walked on up the street and saw another sign. ”M. Neitzel. Beauty Parlor.” Of course we went in and got beautified, if such a thing could be possible, by the charming Miss Neitzel. As for Myrtle Xcdrow. the only member of our class I had not seen, her aspirations to become a school teacher were realized and she is now principal of old K. C. H. S., and exercising her authority with a vengeance. We soon arrived at the hotel and I threw myself into an easy chair to rest after my long and tiresome Journey. I fell asleep and when I awoke I was hack to my own fireside. FALLS CITY IIIdII SCHOOL Twenty-two Freshman Class Notes OR.WOE A l) HEACK. 1D1H1U20 The Class of 1923 needs no one to explain what a bright and promising group of Freshmen we are. We speak for ourselves. We have the distinction of being the largest class that has ever entered Falls City High School to date. Our number is eighty-one. When we entered high school last fall, we got along very well with the exception of visiting the wrong class room occasionally. We soon proved, however, by the absence of many mistakes, that we were “Freshmen Unusual. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: Margaret Frazier. President; John Lichty. Vice President; Charles Uhlig. Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Rankin was chosen class sponsor, and much of our success has been due to her enthusiasm and careful guidance. She helped our class to overcome our difficulties as they presented themselves. The night of our initiation by the Sophomores was looked forward to by all of us. some with joy and others with dreaded thoughts. Nevertheless, a large crowd was present, and we took our medicine as Freshmen should. Another of the interesting events during the school year was the party given by the Freshmen in honor of the Sophomores on January Ninth. The gymnasium was artistically decorated in the Sophomore colors. Games of various nature were played and refreshments served, and a good time was enjoyed by all. When the idea of a Student Council was approved by the Student Body, we elected as our representatives Martha Cameron and Elmer Massey. In athletics, not much can be expected of Freshies. None of our number succeeded in making the first football team, but our spirit was right. Elmer Massey. Donald Baxter. and Berlyn Shields played with the Scrubs and helped to make the first team what it was. A number of our class were out for basketball and track, and these fellows will be heard from in later high school years. The program given by the Freshmen for the entertainment of the school. wTas counted a decided success. Also our part in the school carnival was not to be ignored. We. as a class, can truthfully say that we have done our best at all times, and w’e hope and trust that it has been appreciated. We know that for ourselves, it has been worth while. We are anxious for our second year of high school to begin. We pledge ourselves to loyalty and fidelity. Look for us next fall.

The first matter for our consideration was the election of class officers, and at an enthusiastic meeting the following were chosen: Vernon Parsons. President; Fran- cis Yoder, Vice President; Margaret Cockeran. Secretary and Treasurer. Red and white were chosen as our class colors, and Mr. Sims was unanimously elected class sponsor. As a class, we enjoyed a feeling of superiority in watching the Freshmen in their more or less bewilderment. but thinking it our duty to make them feel more at home, we planned the Freshmen Reception, which took place in the Gymnasium on Friday night. September 27th. The Gymnasium was prettily decorated in the school colors. orange and black. We not only initiated the Freshmen. but since some of the faculty had not been properly initiated into the High School, we also had the pleasure of taking them into the mystic order of school activities. At the close of the initiation, dainty refreshments were served. With lots of F. C. H. S. Spirit, we took an active part in all athletics. On the football field we had five men. namely: Murray Whitford. Russell Pollard. Vernon Par- sons. Karl Sharritt. and Percy Bowers. We are indeed proud of these men and feel that our class was well represented. In basketball, we furnished two of the players in Percy Bowers and Russell Pollard, and enjoyed the distinction of having Bowers made captain of the team. When the Student Council was organized, we selected from our group two representatives, Vernon Parsons and Margaret Cockeran. In the Sophomore-Freshman Girls’ Glee Club, we furnished several members as well as the pianist for two of the clubs. In the Boys’ Glee Club we made a good showing especially when it came to the programs. On Friday night. January 9th. the Freshmen reciprocated for the reception given to them in September. As is the rule at a gathering of this kind, a fine time was expected and we were not at all disappointed. The Sophomores proclaimed the Freshmen Royal Good Fellows, complimenting them that they had taken upon themselves the responsibility of High School students. Now, as the school year closes, we desire to thank every member of the Faculty for the interest shown in us as a class and as individuals during the past year. And to our genial sponsor. Mr. Sims, whose efforts in our behalf are fully appreciated, we extend our gratitude. We look back over the school work of the past year with much satisfaction. We have enjoyed it all. and outclass members deem it a privilege to have been F. C. H. S. Sophomores in 1919-20. As one becomes attached to familiar haunts, so we have learned to love the name “Sophomore. and are somewhat loathe to leave it. Yet we will be proud to assemble next tall and grace the name “Junior with that same fidelity that we have graced “Sophomore in the past year. Realizing that as we pass to higher grades our responsibilities increase, we feel equal to the demand, and hope that the Orange and Black on its future pages will record the names of all of us as Loyal Juniors.

Junior Cla We, like all other classes, boast that our class is one of the best. Hut, unlike most classes, we have substantial proof that it is. We believe that this fact is more or less recognized throughout the school by members of the various classes. At our first class meeting last September, we elected the following officers: President, Carl Hoffman; Vice President. Edward Wittrock; Secretary and Treasurer. Sylvester Tiehen. We were exceedingly fortunate in choosing Miss Koester as our class sponsor. Her originality has helped us greatly in our plans for the Junior-Senior Banquet. We were pruduent in limiting our social functions because of the expense of the Junior-Senior Banquet. However, we are planning several festivities which will take place later in the year. We gave a skating party during the winter, but because of the poor condition of the ice, the party was not wholly successful. On Friday evening, April 9th. we enjoyed a class party at the home of Sylvester Tiehen. Music was furnished by the Junior Orchestra. Ice Cream and wafers were served as refreshments, in spite of the fact that some of the underclassmen made away with some of the wafers. A large number of the members were present, and all report a fine time. Our part in athletics was of importance. The Junior representatives on the football team were: Carl Hoff- man, Charles Heineman, and George Mosiman. Carl was chosen camain for the 1920 season.

OKA S(iE A XI) BLACK, Win-1920 The Junior-Senior Banquet On Saturday Evening, May the first, at seven o’clock, the Junior Class gave a banquet in honor of the Senior Class at the High School. The upper hall was tastefully arranged as a reception room, with rugs, rockers, plants, and numerous other things to make it comfortable and home-like. The pathway to the gymnasium, which had been converted into a dining room, was decorated with purple and white, the Senior Class colors. Upon reaching the dining room, one could easily see that the affair assumed the nature of a May Day celebration. The gymnasium was decorated as a large May Pole, with streamers of pink and light blue, the Junior colors. The streamers hung loosely at the ends, and within, the tables were arranged in the form of a circle. In one corner a smaller May Pole served as a canopy for the Junior Orchestra, which furnished music as the guests were entering the dining room and finding their places. The table was appointed in pink and blue. The place car ds were very simple and dainty with a touch of blue intei'woven with small pink roses. Nuts were served in blue and pink May Baskets. Booklets in the form of a pink rose, tied in blue, contained the menu, program between courses, and the toast program. Pink and blue candles added much to the attractiveness of the table. The Banquet was very efficiently served by sixteen Sophomore Girls. Covers were laid for ninety-nine people, including the Faculty. The menu, which had been prepared by the Junior Class, was as follows: Strawberries on the stem Pressed Chicken Kscalloped Potatoes Escalloped Corn Radishes Olives Rolls Jelly May Day Salad May Pole Sandwiches Ice Cream Cake Coffee May Pole Mints Nuts Between the first and second courses, Vivian Van-Hoesen furnished two splendid piano numbers. Before the third course, the Junior Orchestra played a selection, and during the next intermission. Vivian VanHoesen. Grace Keim and Bernice Peck entertained the Banqueters with a piano trio. Between the last two courses. Clarence Ratekin played a greatly appreciated cornet solo. Toasts followed the dinner, the theme being “The May Festival.” The Toast Program follows: The Bugler (Toastmaster) The Herald The Call is answered The May Pole The Streamers The Winding of the Pole The Crowning of the Queen Carl Hoffman Robert Coatney Lawrence Weinert Supt. B. H. Groves Audrey Wheeler Miss Hazel Rogers Grace Hinton For a closing number, the Junior Orchestra played “Perfect Day.” The evening passed very rapidly, and the Festival, long looked forward to by the members of both classes, came to a close at ten o’clock, the Juniors bidding their guests good night” with the words of Scott, “To All, to Each, a Fair Good Night.

We scheduled a full season of ten games, out of which three were lost and seven won. The three games that were lost were among the first four games played. Each man knew his place and played it well, forming a well-balanced team. The “old men” which were six in number, played with the same old spirit, and the new men.” under the excellent leadership of Coach Britton and Captain Hoy. were not long in getting into line. Our first game was with Pawnee City on September 27. As the final whistle blew, the score stood 13-12 in their favor. We feel that Pawnee City did not outplay us. However. the game was ragged throughout, and cannot be considered as a fair test of either team’s real ability. In this game Bowers tore the ligaments in his ankle, which injury kept him on the sidelines the rest of the season. The next game, on October 3rd. with Tarkio, Mo., resulted in an easy 60-0 victory for our boys, in spite of the size and reputation of the Tarkio delegation. On October 10th. we went up to Tecumseh to find that the odds were against us. Our game was not particularly a weak one. but it seemed that we were just doomed to lose. The referee called an incompleted forward pass a fumble, the recovery of which resulted in Tecumseh’s first score. This rather took the heart out of our team, and is largely responsible for the 20-0 victory for Tecumseh. Pollard was somewhat battered up in this game, but with no serious results. The Orange and Black Team left Tecumseh reminding those unduly boastful victors that there would be another game between Falls City and Tecumseh later in the season—a game with another score. Following Tecumseh. came Hiawatha on their own field, October 17th. With an abundance of overconfidence and a lack of the usual team work, the game was lost before it was played: Hiawatha 20. Falls City 0. But from the Hiawatha experience, one lesson was learned, and with an entire reversal of form, the boys came back strong and finished the season with six successive victories. The first victim of the campaign was Atchison. Kan., defeated on the local grid on October 24th, 6-0. The game was hotly contested. It was anybody’s game until the referee’s whistle informed that the honors were for Falls City. Hahn's touchdown during the first half counted big for the locals. Next in line on the triumphal march was Nebraska City. October 31st. A good crowd of rooters accompanied the team on this trip, and were royally entertained by the Nebraska City people. The Nebraska City team was hopeless against their more aggressive opponents, which resulted in a 41-0 victory for the Orange and Black. We were fortunate to wedge in a game with Wettmore, Forty-one Kan., on November 7th. Wettmore had a fast and fighty team, but not enough football to hinder the Orange and Black in making their chain of victories. It was in this game that the eleven men on the team began to play like one. And this wonderful teamwork stuck with the boys throughout the rest of the season. Wettmore went home thoroughly convinced that Falls City was their superior: Score 32 0. On the following Friday. November 14th. we educated Pawnee City to the extent of demonstrating that the result of the first game of the season threw no light on the ability of either team. Falls City won. 13-0. It was at Pawnee City that the boys first showed the real results of the season’s work. That game was a game of FOOTBALL. But the game of all games was yet to come. Tecumseh was scheduled for November 21st. They came, and they came to win. Moreover, they brought most of their town and county with them. (Nor is that all they brought with them). F. C. H. S. students were out for the game, 100 per cent strong. The day was perfect, the crowd immense. Both teams were in good condition. No alibis were offered on either side, neither before nor after the game. It was a real test of the ability of both teams. Consequently. the 20-0 victory for Falls City was the crowning Forty-three OUAXUK AM) HIjACK, 1919-1920 event of the year. A more honored team never left a Falls City field. In the minds of some of the close followers of the Orange and Black, the victory over Nebraska Wesleyan University Second Team should be given first place in this regime. It was truly a great addition to the scalps, and a regular way in which to wind up a successful season. Battling against older, larger, and more experienced players. players subjected to collegiate training, the Falls City boys proved themselves worthy of all that has been said of them. Fighting against the snow and a lead of six points, they came back with two well-earned touchdowns and as many goals, making the score 14-6. Thus was completed the chain of six successive wins. In reviewing a high school athletic season, one must remember that the success of a team depends largely upon the last two-thirds of the games played. Our team slumped during the first part of the season. But at the close of the season they were playing far better ball than any team on the schedule, and the invitation for a post season game excluded no team in Nebraska. The success of the team was due largely to the fact that it was a well-balanced team. No department of the game was overlooked. we had no “weak spots.” The 1919 football squad holds a prominent place in our memories. FALLS CITY IIKill SCHOOL WKINERT, Right Tackle- Lawrence was a stronghold in the line- a stone wall on defense, and a smasher on offense. He broke up lots of the opponents’ plays, and by tearing up their line was directly responsible for a great deal of Orange and Black yardage. To be sure. Wetnert was a big asset to the team. POLLARD. Right Guard Pollard played effectively at either tackle or guard. He is a gritty fellow and a hard worker. “Rusty” has the ability to follow the plays of the opposing team, and he does his part in breaking them up. He also advanced the ball well on some tackle plays. KEIM. Left Guard—Lots of credit is due Keim. Playing his first year of football, he made good progress. Keim gave the game his very best at all times, and came out of every struggle, having fought to the finish. His strong points are his stubborn defense and consistent effort. HOFFMAN, Center—Carl Hoffman saved our lives by readily adapting himself, without any previous experience, to the pivotal position, one of the hardest to fill. And he filled it well, developing into an accurate passer and a strong defense man. In compliance with the requirements of his position he kept a level head, and hit ’em hard. HP 1 SI NO. Left Tackle I� ok him over! Although unable to play during the first of the season. Louie showed up in fine shape. He is a strong lineman and especially valuable to the team because of his ability to shift to the back field and carry the ball for steady gains. Buislng stopped some of out opponents’ best line plungers. Forty-four HEINMAN, Right End Heine” is as sturdy as he looks. And he plays with the fight of a tiger. Absolutely, he is the best little foi ward pass grabber in the whole season’s schedule and a clever man on open and fake formations. His greatest sport is smashing interference. SHARRITT. Guard—Sharrltt is one of those comers” who will let us know he is on the gridiron next year. He gave some mighty good service this year, his strongest game being at defense. In addition to playing some good football Earl pulls a “deep one” once in awhile—to his credit. MOSIMAN. Tackle and Guard -George plays a steady game of ball. He can be depended upon to do the job assigned to him. His best bet is tearing a hole in the line on offensive Forty-five play. Mosle is gradually coming to the front. Watch him next year. GERHARDT. Guard -Gerhardt made remarkable progress as the season advanced. Absolutely new at the game, he worked willingly and consistently. At the close of the season he was a strong guard. Coo Coo got into the play on several occasions in a spectacular way by tackling the opposing backs behind the line of scrimmage. WHITFORD, Left End Whitford looked mighty good In his first season of football. He. too. is sharp on the forward pass and trickery, but his outstanding ability is to cover the ground on end around plays. He not only tears away for twenty or thirty-five yards once in awhile, but is a consistent ground gainer. ora ay; a; axd black, i a 10-1920 HOY. Right Half. Captain—To Captain Hoy goes the big bulk of credit, faithfully and honestly earned, duly and gratefully given. With reference to the departments of the game he knows them all. and is equally strong in each. In short, ho is an all-round football man. Stace is without a doubt the best line plunger in our entire schedule, and in the capacity of captain he served in ‘ A No. 1” style, using his vast supply of athletic judgment and generalship for the team's best interests, anil producing splendid results, which will have a permanent place in our memories. PARSONS. Fullback I'arsons is an expert in breaking up forward passes. Many yards were saved and dangers averted bv his extraordinary work in that department of defense. Vernon is a good line hitter, and we cannot ask for anything better in backing up the line than that which he gave us. MASSFY. Quarter—Clyde played a good season at quarter under a great disadvantage: no previous experience in that capacity. He is level-headed, a clear thinker on the field, and a man of impartial Judgment. Massey runs good interference. makes a good forward pass, gains consistently, and tackles sure. HAHN, Left Half- The fastest man on the squad and on our schedule is Hahn. Making use of his speed and ability he piled up a tremendous amount of yardage and scores. Loyd threw a scare into the opposing team whenever he received the pigskin. On defense he excelled in tackling. Summing it all up. he's a wizard.” BRITTON. Coach—To Coach Britton alone goes the credit for the successful team of 19. In his two years with us he has established a record that will stand with the best of them. We are indeed proud of him as a coach and as a man. The high standard which he has set, always striving for better and cleaner sports, has won for him the undying love of all athletes who know him. Forty-six OK AS a E AM) BLACK, 1919-1920 Girls’ Basketball Notes The 1920 Girls’ Basketball Team may surely be characterized as one of the best in the history of Falls City High School. Each girl knew her place and played it to the very best of her ability, thus forming a well-balanced team. The last year’s players, wrho were three in number, played with their usual pep and enthusiasm, while the new members, also three in number, stepped right in line without a pause. The responsibility that each of the girls felt may be easily understood when we say that on two of our hardest games, we carried no subs. Daisy Barton was elected captain of the team. Miss Koester coached the girls again this year, and not enough can be said of the spirit with which the captain and coach worked throughout the season. On January 9th. wre played our first game with our old rivals. Mound City, and met defeat, 20 10. However, our defeat may doubtless be partially explained by the fact that Keim. our star center, was off the floor altogether. The next week. January 16th, we went to Humboldt. All the girls were in good trim, and we carried away a victory, 41-14. Quite a few rooters accompanied the team and encouraged them with some snappy yells. On January 23rd, we went over to Mound City, determined to win in spite of all. Since no substitute was taken on this trip, each girl felt the fullest sense of respon- Forty-sevcn sibility in satisfactorily handling her position. We went out on the floor with all the fight possible, and defeated Mound City 22-14. We now’ had all kinds of confidence, and were determined not to lose again. The Alumni gathered together a team composed of “stars” of former years, and on January 28th. we defeated them in spite of their ability. Score. 58-20. On February 27th. Nebraska City came down, confident that they were going to break our chain of victories. On the other hand. wre w’ere just as determined that they could not blot our record. Although it was a hard-fought game, we scored 34 points, while they made only 19. Two weeks later. March 12th. we went to Nebraska City for the last game of the season. We were accompanied by the usual crowd of rooters. Every player wrent into the game to do her very best, in order to maintain the team’s reputation. This was the hardest game of the season, but when the final whistle blew. Falls City wras justly victorious, 29-15. Thus the season closed. We had lost only the first game. Doubtless next year’s team w’ill defend this record, and make as good a record for themselves. The regular line-up for the past season is as follows: Daisy Barton (Captain). R. G.; Rosa Hoy, L. G.; Grace Keim, C.; Myrtle Nedrow’. 2nd C.; Audrey Wheeler. R. F.; Esther Jenkins, L. F.; Mildred Neitzel and Bessie Parsons, substitutes.

Forty-eight ORANGE ASIt If LACK, 1919-1920 Girls’ Basketball Individual Writeups BARTON (Captain) Guard Daisy ranks as a Junior. She had experience on the Falls City High School team two years ago, and plays a splendid game at guard. She is sure of the ball and excellent on team work. The team feels that this wonderful harmony, both on the floor and off, is largely due to the captain. JENKINS. Forward This is Esther’s last year in school. In her, the team loses a very valuable forward. Esther can always be depended upon, for she is cool, level-headed, and a sure shot at the basket. Her position will be hard to fill next season. NEDROW, Second Center Myrtle came to us from Verdon this year. Being a Senior, this is her first and last season on the team. She is a natural forward, but worked out splendidly at second center. Myrtle’s floor work, with fast and accurate passing. makes her a very valuable member of the team. KEIM. Center This is Grace’s second season on the first team. Her outstanding feature is her height, which, with her good team work, makes her a fine first center. When playing an open court game, we can always depend upon Grace to “lay” the ball in the basket. All of our opposing teams pick on” Grace. WHEELER. Forward Audrey is another Junior who is playing her second year on the team. She is small, and one of the fastest players on the floor. To say she is everywhere is no exaggeration. Audrey is always ready to sacrifice for the good of the team, although she is a goal shooter far above the average. HOY. Guard Rosa surpassed all expectations, and developed into a guard of rare ability. This is her first season on the team, but she plays like a veteran. Rosa covers the floor quickly. knows how to work with others, and her interference is of the stellar type. KOESTER. Coach For the past two seasons. Miss Koester has very successfully coached the Girls’ Basketball Team. Her experience on a college team, together with the spirit in which she worked with the girls, has had much to do with the successfulness of the team. The spirit with which the girls played and won exemplifies the results of her efforts.

Fifty ORANGE AS1) liLACK, 1919-1920 Boys’ Basketball Notes The 1920 basketball season was not a successful season so far as winning games is concerned. But in the light of prospects for next year’s team, we can truthfully consider the past season as well worth while and productive of good results, in that it developed inexperienced players into “comers.” To begin with. Dame Fortune was against us. Hoy was the only basketball letter man in school upon which to build a team. Thompson, a Mound City product with some basketball experience, joined the squad, but before long he had moved back to the land whence he came. In the Plattsmouth game, the third game on the schedule. Hoy was accidentally relieved of three front teeth. This left a squad of green timber to finish the season of ten games. The final line-up of the team follows: Captain Bowers, Hoffman and McCool, forwards; Pollard and Mosiman, guards; Weinert and Keim, center; Humbarger, substitute. Furthermore, while the team lost eight out of the ten games, five of the eight were exceedingly close games, and the F. C. Boys were within reach of victory until the final blowing of the whistle. It is no blot on a team’s record to lose a close game to a competent rival. In due consideration of the aforesaid facts, it appears that the 1920 basketball team should be praised, not for winning games, for the boys won only two and lost eight; not for playing spectacular ball, for their inexperience pre- cluded the possibility of such; but on the other hand, the team should be praised for doing their level best against tremendous, gloom-producing odds. It is easy to play a game when winning, but hard to play a losing game. Therefore, hands outstretched to our basketball boys, who, though losing, retained sight of the fundamental purpose of athletics, and finished the season with more fight and purpose than that with which they began. In the foregoing words, neither an apology nor an alibi is pretended. We have none. Neither in the concluding words is there any effort made to prophecy. But without predicting a strong basketball team next year, we can at least say that as a result of this season, there will be a nucleus of experienced players as a basis for a strong team. McCool, Pollard, Mosiman. Hoffman. Bowers and Humbarger will all be with us next year. The Schedule and Scores: Jan. 9. Humboldt ....21 Falls City ....19 Jan. 16.

The schedule this year consists of three meets: the William Jewell Interscholastic Meet at Liberty. Mo.. April 24th; the Tri State Meet at Tarkio. Mo.. May 7th; and the Nebraska State Meet at Lincoln. May 15th. The 1920 season has been marked with a growing interest in track and field work. The squad, altho it is small, is composed of fellows with a devoted track spirit. « It is indeed a pleasure to record the results of the first two meets on the schedule. In the William Jewell Meet. F. C. H. S. was represented by two men, Massey and Hahn. Hahn won the 100 and 440 yard dashes, scoring ten points, which gave Falls City second place in the meet. Hahn tied for individual honors and established a record in the quarter mile. At Tarkio. Falls City was in the reckoning, as usual. The Orange and Black was represented by five men: Hahn. Weinert. Pollard. Beldin. Wiltse. Again Lloyd Hahn was the sensation of the meet. Running in perfect form, he Fifty-three ORASOE ASH HLM’K. 1919-1920 Notes won four first places in the '50. 100. 220. and 440 yard dashes, which counted twenty points. Rood for second place in the final standing. In addition to winning four races, Hahn set a new record in the 220 yard dash, twenty-four seconds, and in the 440 yard dash, fifty-two and one-fifth seconds. Besides all this, he was the highest individual point winner of the meet. It is to be regretted that the results of the Nebraska State Meet can not be indelibly recorded on this page. However, we are sure that we will be mighty well represented. and that a part of the honors will rightfully belong to Falls City. And so the 1920 track season has been full of merit, not only from the standpoint of wholehearted participation in athletics, but from the standpoint of winning laurels, as well. In the latter respect, not too much can be said in the way of praise and congratulation for Lloyd Hahn. And in the former respect, every member of the squad is worthy of commendation. FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL uT Fifty-four ORA XOE WO BLACK. 1919 1020 Music Notes “Music is the Universal T-anguage of Mankind.” we cite the large and repeated number of calls for music from the clubs. The first appearance of the Girls’ Glee Clubs was on Armistice Day. When the world was celebrating this wonderful anniversary, and Palls City was doing her share with appropriate ceremony, the Girls’ Glee Clubs were given a place on the local program, and rendered a number of selections to the admiration of many hearers. All three of the clubs have taken part in the programs of the Parent-Teachers Association, their work being to their credit. It is to be regretted that regular hours in the high school curriculum cannot be given to music. At present all rehearsals come after school hours. If more time could be employed with more frequent rehearsals, we could accomplish a great deal more in music. However, we are pleased with what has been done, but look forward to the time when music will be a regular curricular subject. Fifty-five Under the capable direction of Miss Helen Mattison, Instructor of Music in the Public Schools, the music department has greatly advanced during the past year. When calls were made for volunteers for the Girls’ Glee Club, so many responded that it was deemed advisable to divide them into two groups. Accordingly, the Freshman-Sophomore and the Junior-Senior Glee Clubs were organized. In addition to Glee Club rehearsals, much time was spent in studying the rudiments of music, and much was accomplished along this line. A decided interest has been shown in past years in the Hoys’ Glee Club, especially by the patrons of the concerts. In accordance with this type of interest, the boys have been organized into a more successful group this year than in the past. At various times the clubs have been called upon to take part in programs, and at all times they have gladly responded. As evidence that their efforts are appreciated.
