Aided by the heartiest co-operation of the Student Body, we have made an humble effort to bring to our readers that variety of school life and activities which we hope will please all. You have herein the results of our combined efforts, in which we have endeavored to do our utmost. THE STAFF. As with fingers of the blind, We are groping here to find What the hieroglyphics mean Of the unseen in the seen; What the thought which underlies Nature’s masking and disguise; What it is that hides beneath Blight and bloom, and birth and death. By past efforts unavailing Of our weakness made aware, On the threshold of our task Let us Light and Guidance ask— Let us pause in Silent Prayer! —John Greenleaf Whittier. ORANGE AND BLACK Our Work Shop and Our'PlayIHouse Where we combine good, stiff study with free, wholesome recreation in such proportion that makes for better minds, better bodies and a better Orange and Black spirit. We are proud of our plant. It shall always hold a prominent place in our memories. Likewise, we rejoice at the fact that we are privileged to reap the benefits of a sound and varied course of study within its walls. Thorough and extensive courses are offered in History, Latin, Spanish, Mathematics, Science, English, Manual Training, Home Economics, Commercial Training and Normal Training. More limited courses are given in Economics, Public Speaking and Gymnasium. Credit for graduation is also given for work in the Glee Clubs and Orchestra. During the past year, forty-two distinct subjects have been taught in our curriculum, which is the largest number ever offered to a Falls City High School Student Body. Graduates who have taken considerable work in the Commercial Department, find little difficulty in securing suitable employment in that line. Likewise, the Normal Trainers find ample opportunity awaiting them in the teaching profession in the rural schools. As students, we stand together in congratulating ourselves on the school facilities at our disposal. We appreciate it, and hope to profit therefrom. —JUST A STUDENT. Page Three ORANGE AND BLACK The Freshman’s Morning Soliloquy Beware of a deadly sitting habit, Or, if you sit, be like the rabbit, Who keepeth ever on the jump, By springs concealed beneath his rump. A little ginger ’neath the tail Will oft for lack of brains avail; Eschew the dull and slothful seat, And move about with willing feet. Man was not made to sit a-trance And press, and press and press his pants; But rather with an open mind, To circulate among his kind. And so, poor Freshie, avoid the snare Which lurks within a cushioned chair; To run quite well, it has been found, Both feet must be upon the ground. Yours for Success. To Mrs. Fred DeWald, an Instructor of good standing in the hearts of the pupils, we affectionately dedicate this book. Page Five ORANGE AND BLACK Book I. Book II. Book III. Book IV.

We began our High School course with about 80 members in our class on September (J, 1920. We were nothing but a green bunch of Freshmen, but lo; the past year hath wrought many changes. We soon became accustomed to our High School routine although we visited the wrong class rooms frequently. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: Clarence Nutter, President; George Reid, Vice-President, and Anna Margaret Brecht, Secretary-Treasurer. We also chose Miss Herrick as our class sponsor. The Freshmen were represented on the football team by Wilbert Zorn, who did his share toward a successful season. Our first social gathering was the party given in our honor by the Sophomores. After that party we knew we were as verdant as we looked. We then felt that we had a claim to full fledged membership in the Falls City High School. In a sense of appreciation we gladly returned the Sophomore party. We hope they considered our efforts as successful as we did theirs. Although we had no representative on the first basketball team- we developed a team of our own in an effort to produce better material for the future first team squad. We feel now that we have successfully begun our High School work and we greatly appreciate the efforts of the Faculty in our behalf. We are decidedly thankful to our class advisor, Miss Herrick, for her faithful service. Paye Nine —G. W. Page Tey Page Eleven Page Twelve X ORANGE AND BLACK _________ Sophomore Class Notes On September seventh, sixty-five members entei’ed the Falls City High School as Sophomores, which was sixteen less than our class roll as Freshmen. Our first meeting was called September tenth in order to organize as a class. Elmer Massey was elected President, Clarence Gregg, Vice-President, Mildred Alderfer, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss McAuley was chosen for class sponsor. It is always the duty of the Sophomore to initiate the Freshmen into High School because they have passed along the same road only the year before and understand the hardships, duties, trials and honors of being a Freshman. For this purpose, we planned the Freshman Reception to take place October 1, 1920, in the High School Gymnasium, which was decorated in blue and gold, and green and white, the class colors of the two classes. Not only were the Freshmen let in on the secrets of our school life, but the teachers as well were initiated, because most of them were new. As special guests we had the members of our own and the Pawnee City Football Teams. After the initiatory part of our program the evening was spent in the playing of games until refreshments were served. On October 26th a meeting was called and we were given an invitation to the Freshmen Hallowe’en Party to be given October 29 in the High School Gymnasium. We found them to be royal entertainers. On November 30th another meeting was called in order to elect a new Vice-President. Helen Lichty was elected to take the place left vacant by Clarence Gregg. We were represented on the football team by Elmer Massey and Henry Scheitel; on the Girls’ Basketball team, by Cleo Hoffman and Lydia Wulf. On January 6th a Skating Party was held at Knickerbocker’s Lake. The Sophomores presented a program in the form of the Sophomore Bi-Annual Magazine. We feel that the first number of this wonderful paper was a success because of the keen interest with which the audience looked forward to each section. With the coming of the spring days, came the longing for a picnic and so one was planned for March 17th. We feel that we have had a very successful year, and are hoping that every Sophomore will be back next year to help us make our Junior year even more of a success. —B. S.

It was in the fall of nineteen-twenty that the best-ever class entered the F. C. H. S. as Juniors. At our first class meeting the following officers were elected: Xenia Fouts........................President Ruth Goldner..................Vice-President Francis Yoder....Secretary-Treasurer The Junior classes are said to be noted for their wise selection of class sponsors, and so it was with us, Miss Beckett being chosen. We take this opportunity to thank her for the help she has given us throughout the year. At the beginning of the second semester, our president entered the Senior class and Russell Pollard was elected to fill the vacancy. On November nineteenth we gave a party at the High School in honor of the Senior class. A program was given in the assembly room, after which a luncheon was served in the gymnasium. The Nebraska City and Falls City football teams were guests. This year we were well represented in athletics. Six Juniors won their letter in football: Murray Whitford, Lorene Buising, Joe Uhlig, William McCool, Earl Sherritt and Russell Pollard. For the girls’ basketball team we furnished two of the stars, Bessie Parsons and Ethel James, and on the boys’ team, Murray Whitford, Lorene Buising, William McCool and Russell Pollard. The boys won the class championship by defeating the Seniors by the score of 50 to 29. The programs given by members of the Junior class at different times during the year were thoroughly enjoyed by the entire High School. We feel that we made a very good selection in our class rings and pins. The Seniors acknowledge them to be better looking than theirs. To the Seniors we extend our best wishes for a happy and prosperous luture. We are looking forward to our last year in the F. C. H. S. as the one of most importance, so we shall return full of pep and ready for work. R. P. Seniors, Freshies, Sophomores, No! Juniors, Juniors, all the go; Juniors, Juniors, well I guess, We are the leaders of the rest! Page Seventeen ORANGE AND BLACK Junior-Senior Banquet ■« The banquet given by the Juniors in honor of the Class of ’21 was to be given on Friday, April 15, but was given the following evening, as April 15 was the opening night of “Mikado,” the home talent show given by the Elks. The guests upon ari’iving were received by some of the Junior girls in the reception room, which was fixed with enough furniture to make it cozy. As Hester Porr played the grand march, the banqueters marched to the dining room, which was decorated in the high school and Senior colors. Orange and black and purple and gold streamers hung from the center to all parts of the room. A row of pennants covered the north and east walls and purple and gold streamers formed the west wall of the room. At the south wall was the emblem of the Senior class pin in orange and black. The program and menu cards were in Senior colors as were also the place cards. The banquet table was beautifully appointed in white linen, silver and cut glass. The banquet was served by twenty Sophomore and Freshman girls attired in white middie suits. The banquet was a success and will be an occasion long to be remembered by those who attended. The dinner, served in four courses, consisted of: Cocktail Purple and Gold Fricassee of Chicken Riced Potatoes Creamed Peas in Patties Parkerhouse Rolls Celery Curls Orange Salad Wafers Grape Sherbert Sunshine Cake Coffee Demi Tasse Mints The program was given between the courses and was as follows: Russell Pollard, Toastmaster Address of Welcome............................Russell Pollard Response ...............� .............Carl Hoffman Vocal Solo.....................................Louise Harris “Our Class”.........................Harry Richardson Piano Solo......................................Hilda Ketter “Senior Class”.................................Robert Coatney Junior Class Prophecy................Harold Kottman “Spirits”...........................Principal Britton The banquet closed about ten o’clock with school yells led by Robert Coatney.

But for those not so well acquainted with us, the most important facts will herewith be drawn. Like most Freshmen, we visited wrong class rooms, and were backward about reciting but after growing accustomed to our work we were wonders. Miss Fuller served us most graciously as class adviser; Marie Scott, President; Carl Hoffman, Vice-President; Lois Fells, Secretary and Treasurer. We were well represented in Literary Societies and Glee Clubs. As our representatives on the Athletic Board of Control we had two; Dean Alexander and Mildred Lichty. A number of social functions were thoroughly enjoyed, one of which was given by the Sophomores, who treated us royally. As this was during the time of the World War, our social functions were limited and we expressed our patriotism by purchasing a Fifty Dollar Liberty Bond. The Sophomore year found our childish ways completely overcome and we entered a larger field of activities, and true to our school, and our class, we were active. For President we elected Carl Hoffman; Vice-President, Dean Alexander, Secretary and Treasurer, Audrey Wheeler, and Class Adviser, Miss Rankin. We had two representatives on the Football Team, and one on the Basketball Team, and two on the Girls’ Basketball Team. We gave the Freshmen a reception, inviting the Tecumseh Football boys as our guests. The Freshmen returned the party on St. Patrick’s Day. And almost as in a story we reached the climax. This was our Junior year. We re-elected Carl Hoffman President; with Edward Wittrock Vice-President; Sylvester Tiehen Secretary and Ti-easurer, and Miss Koester Class Adviser. We enjoyed various picnics and a party at the home of Sylvester Tiehen. Our part in the school activities proved to be the feature by which we were able to cultivate our ability, and demonstrate our loyalty to the F. C. H. S. This year our growing skill and vigor placed four representatives on the Girls’ Basketball Team, three on the Boys’ team and three on the Football Team. For the Student Council we furnished the President, Secretary, and two representatives. We also organized a Junior orchestra of which we were duly proud. Early in the year we received our class rings and pins, we consider them a just source of pride and satisfaction. On May 1, 1920, the Juniors honored the Seniors with the annual banquet, which was a grand success, due to the patience and kindness of Miss Koester, our Sponsor. In September, 1920, we entered dear old High School for our last year together, and as has been said, it is the shortest we’ve spent. The class officers for the year were Carl Hoffman, President; Edward Wittrock, Vice-President; Robert Coatney, Secretary and Treasurer, and Miss Kauffman, Class Adviser. Six of our classmates won places on the Football Team, four on the Basketball Team and five on the Girls’ team, two of whom were subs. All of these are to be duly commended for the work they did. Early in the year we gave the Juniors a picnic. There are other functions planned, the occurrence of which will be too late to be included in this history. For all of our four years of happiness and hard work we now wish to thank our faculty. We are as a large family of children going out with a desire to improve each opportunity for good living, and through the activities of our lives render homage, which we feel is fittingly due our beloved faculty, and the Orange and the Black. —M. A. L. Page Twenty-nine ORANGE AND BLACK LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS We, the Senior Class, realizing the vastness of our earthly belongings, wish to make the following disposal of such before betaking us hence to the future world: First: We leave to the flourishing Freshmen the inexaggerated genius of the united Senior Class. Let us hope they can profit by it. To the Sophomoi'es, poor children, we leave as an index our conservative consistency. And finally, we trust upon the pantomine Juniors our privilege to bear the sophisticated air of superiority. Second: We find there are innumerable personal traits, ideas, and beliefs and so forth that will be of no use whatever to us in the future, while the lower classmen may acquire something of good from them. The school knows not of what it is bereft in the passing of our honored President, Carl Hoffman. Since this may be so, we have peered with stable eyes into the future consternation, have requested, and he has consented, to leave to his successor—the rising Russell Pollard—his inestimable ability to bring forth from the depths of disastrous confusion that innocent ingredient which is so priceless in the making of schools and classes. We wish to insinuate that Eleanor Green might ask Audrey Wheeler for a portion of her suddenness. Herbert Hilgenfeld has mentioned that he has an extra supply of good-heartedness for some Freshman, which he will furnish free of charge. We, nor anyone else, can ever estimate that which John Humbarger is leaving behind him. His ability in getting by, we have requested that he leave to the already well-stocked Ben Morgan. Clarence Ratekin’s truthfulness will be distributed. We commit Marie Scott’s domineering manner to one Gladys Kaufman. Robert Coatney’s absolute mastery of the English language we wish to fall to a certain Charles Uhlig. Someone suggested that Helen Allen might profit by a certain per cent of Dorothy Mosiman’s delicacy. Opal Foehlinger wishes her forwardness on Helen Brecht. We have also with us one Edward Tibbets, whose reasoning power might help Henry Scheitel in future controversies. To Bernice Shier we have bequeathed the amiability of Marie Frehse. When we get to Mildred Lichty we find ourselves lost in a sea of merits, we draw straws and find that she will leave her secret of acquiring knowledge to Leah Schmid. Irma Shubert should take this opportunity to explain to Alice Harkendorf how she escapes. Louise Sutter might drop a hint to Agnes Redwood about good looks and its disadvantages. Oiner Sperry will gladly relate to Francis Yoder how he acquired “authentic beauty.” We wish to suggest that Carrolle Fisher lend to Mary Cameron a sample of her shyness. We submit to the future orchestra the violin ability of our remarkable Virgilio Cooniane. We wish to inform Louise Harris that Daisy Barton has a queer aptitude for sincere study that might be copied. Martha Bippes will make known to any of several Freshmen the secrets of the kitchen. Hazel Green might get the particulars from Bernice Peck as to why an acre is always square. Ola McManus is keeping everything for the future. Rosa Hoy will entrust a part of her lady-like manners to Margaret Baxter, provided Margaret thinks she can use them. John Fergus says his Bible is rather worn, but he will allow Carl Wittrock to use it in the dreary years to come. Sylvester Tiehen wills a half-dozen of his hearty laughs to Grant Whitford. We want all of you to hold the memory of Xenia Fouts at the piano. Hazle Ratekin leaves her domination over Latin to Anna Margaret Brecht. George Mosiman drops his queer cleverness to the coming Robert Preusse. Bessie Yort is leaving her air of superiority to her admiring Irvin Niemeyer. Merle Arnold is especially adapted to remaining silent. Perhaps Harry Cook could use this faculty. Helen Heins refers her straightforwardness to the legatee Rosalie Linsley. Last, but by no means least, comes the genius of our class—Historian, Pianist, Chemist, Linguist, Diplomat and Leader. We desire that all our heirs profit gratutiously from Vivian Van Hoesen’s abundant talent. Third on our list: We leave the memory of our deeds and misdeeds, our good will and best wishes, to our Faculty. Page Thirty Page Thirty-one ORANGE AND BLACK Senior Prophecy 'S’ S? It was circus day, and everyone, both young and old, knows what circus day means. Early in the morning there was a grand pai-ade and every one in town turned out to see the fun. Upon arriving on Main Street, where the leaders of the parade were, I was much surprised to see that the leader was none other than Bob Coatney. Bob Coatney manager of Ringling Brothers Circus!! Of course I was very anxious to have a visit with him. As soon as possible I looked him up. He was as surprised to see me as I had been to see him. We went inside the big tent and since it was quite a while before the performance, we had a long visit. I asked Bob about all our old friends, but all he knew was that Virgil Coon had won renowned fame as a violinist and that Bessie Yort had a shop on Fifth Avenue, where she was having wonderful success designing dresses. Other than these two, he had lost account of all the rest of the class of ’21. I informed him that Carrolle Fisher was making hats for all the wealthy women around New York. I also recalled having read that Clarence Ratekin was leader of Sousa’s Band in the East. Since we were unable to furnish each other with further information regarding our classmates of ’21 we began to devise some means of getting in touch with a few more. Our talk, however, was here interrupted by the starting of the performance and Bob had to hurry away. As I was not ready to return home immediately, I thought I would wander around to see a few of the sights. I visited the Seven Wonders of the world, the Southern Minstrel and various other attractions, and was just starting to leave when my attention was called to a sign which read, “Mystic Willy. The Wonder Worker.” I learned that he was a hypnotist so I decided to watch him woi-k. Upon entering the tent, I recognized in “Mystic Will,” our old friend Vivian Van Hoesen. He pointed his finger at me and said, “You are the very person I am looking for. I could not refuse. I walked up the aisle and seated myself in the chair in front of him. He looked at me rather queerly a few times, then waved his hands in front of me, so closely that it made me feel dazed. A queer feeling began to pass over me. The next thing I remember distinctly was of some one shaking me violently and saying, “What do you mean sleeping here? This is a public park.” 1 managed to get my eyes open, and I recognized in my most rude disturber, John Humbarger. As soon as I recovered from the shock I asked, “What are you doing here?” John explained that he was Mayor of the little city and that he was just returning from a meeting of very influential men, who were contemplating building a memorial to old F. C. H. S. He said I would probably be interested to know that many of these gentlemen were our old classmates—Merle Arnold, Manager of “The Rest Hour,” the most successful picture show in the city; John Fergus, the leading farmer in that neighborhood; Henry Pribbenow, had become a very successful lawyer, and last but not least, Judge Edward Tibbets. I was very happy to hear from so many of the old chums and I thanked John heartily. He said that in the capacity of mayor he was really too busy to show me the “show places,” of the city but that he would provide me with a guide. To my great joy the escort proved to be Rosa Hoy. We visited the School House first. With a very mysterious air Rosa led me up the stairs to the Superintendents office, where I was much astonished to see Daisy Barton busy at a typewriter and Carl Hoffman at the chief executive’s desk. After our preliminary greetings, Carl invited me to go to his home with him for supper. I hesitated a few minutes but hastily accepted when he said Xenia would be very sorry if I did not go. On leaving the school I saw about fifty youngsters playing in the yard. I asked Carl why they were there and he told me it was the kindergarten, of which Martha Bippes had charge. After greeting Martha and Elsie Preusse, who was a grade teacher, we went on down town. We stopped in front of a magnificent grocery store and Rosa asked me if I wouldn’t like to run in any say, “hello,” to Omer Sperry, who was manager of the store. I said, “of course.” When I opened the door I was astonished to see Louise Sutter acting as his secretary. After talking over old times with Omer I said I must start on. He said to be sure to visit the next store for there were surprises there too. I hurried over, and in my haste to see the anticipated surprises, nearly ran over Harold Spencer who told me he was the leading M. D. of the city. After a short visit with him I went on inside. The first familiar face I saw Opal Foelinger’s. She did not recognize me at first but finally connected me with our old class of 1921. Opal it seemed was manager of this magnificent store. She showed me about to the various rooms. (Continued on Page 81) Page Thirty-two i ORANGE AND BLACK Page Thirty-thre? ORANGE AND BLACK EVELYN BECKETT B. H. GROVES G. F.

The Girls’ Glee Club consists of fifty members. The faithful work of Miss Ethel Owen, Supervisor of Music in the Falls City Schools, shows good results, and the girls manifest their appreciation by the interest they take in their work. Although when this book goes to press the Annual Concert has not been given, we can truthfully say that the year’s work has been a success. The work of the season has been principally preparation for the Annual Concert. The girls have worked hard and faithfully and much praise is to be given them. Within the limited time for practice, the club learned a great many numbers, including some very difficult ones. “Sparkling Sunlight,” by Bruno Huhn, and “Around the Gypsy Fire,” by Brahms, are a few of the choruses that have been learned. Others of importance are “The Fairies’ Dance,” by Lansing, “Come Ye Fairies,” by L.vnes, and “To a Wild Rose,” by McDowell. The Glee Club as a whole wishes to thank Miss Owen for her patience, 'ndness and time and the Senior girls wish to take this opportunity to :d their “singing sisters” adieu.

The Boys’ Glee Club was organized at the beginning of the second semester by Miss Ethel Owen, Supervisor of Music in the Falls City Schools. The club consists of thirteen members, with Xenia Fouts as pianist. In spite of the fact that only one hour every Wednesday night is devoted to rehearsal, the boys have progressed greatly, and made a splendid showing. They have appeared several times before the public. The first appearance was at the “Fine Arts Meeting,” where they sang several selections, among them “In Days of Old” and “An Old-Fashioned Garden.” Remarks overheard at the meeting such as “Fine” and “They sing with such style,” expresses the appreciation of the public. The boys also appeared in the Patriotic Program given at the high school on February 25 There they led in the singing of the “Star-Spangled Banner” and “America.” A decided interest has been shown in the Boys’ Glee Club this yea: as well as in years past, and it is because of this interest taken by the boys and the capable direction of Miss Owen that the season’s work hr ; been such a success. It is hoped that in the future more time can devoted to their instruction. lG Page Thirty-nine ORANGE AND BLACK HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Left to right.

Early in the year the High School Orchestra was organized by Miss Ethel Owen, music supervisor. This is the first High School orchestra we have had for a number of years. The members have worked very diligently and faithfully. They have appeared on various programs. For the Parent-Teachers’ meetings they rendered several selections which met with great applause. They next played for the operetta given by the North School pupils, their selections being: Gems from the Opera, by Berry; overture, by Wheeler, sacred melody; overture, by Wheeler, and also some popular pieces. For the patriotic program at the High School they again employed their ability by playing several patriotic pieces. The musicians not only have increased their enthusiasm and submission to hard work, but they have also increased their skill. We hope the good work will continue. Page Forty ORANGE AND BLACK THE COOKING ROOM Page Forty-one THE MANUAL TRAINING ROOM ORANGE AND BLACK ifFfBEACO The most popular and successful means of rousing initial interest in speech movement is the observance of American Speech week. This is primarily a concentrated effort toward rousing public sentiment to the need and possibility of improving the speaking voice and raising the standard of speech usage in daily life. The first observance of this kind was conducted at Eastern District High School, Brooklyn, New York, in the spring of 1915. Better English week in the F. C. H. S. was held February 7 to 11, inclusive. Each day during convocation period at 1:30, programs were given which consisted of speeches on “Better English” by prominent local men: Rev. Reid of the Pres- byterian Church and Hon. V. G. Lyford; a short play; pageant parade and contests in reading and spelling, all of which were designed to develop a desire for the best use of our language. On Friday tags were given to the students and each person received a tag upon the use of incorrect English. During the week the English classes composed themes on the subjects: “Better English Week in F. C. H. S.”; “Better English from a Patriotic Viewpoint,” and “What Better English Week Has Meant to Me.” On Monday night the parent-teachers’ meeting was devoted entirely to a Better English program. Miss Sara D. Muir, instructor of English in the Lincoln High School, gave an excellent talk on Better English. The motto for the week was, “Opportunity is an equal chance given to all members of each generation to become unequal.” The slogans for each day were: Monday, “Every seed, every animal, has its use, so has every word in the English language”; Tuesday, “Look to your words, they carry your message, make them worthy of their burden”; Wednesday, “Three Americans, our flag, our uniform, our speech”; Thursday, “Slovenly speech bespeaks a slovenly mind, watch your speech”; Friday, “Good speech is the trade-mark of a good education. Are you proud of your trade-mark?” ORANGE AND BLACK Frisky Fun Fair •s? 8? The most successful event of the season was the Frisky Fun Fair, given at the High School, Friday, April 1, by the Senior class. Three floors were given over to the various attractions. The main feature of the evening was the Beauty Parlor, patronized by both young and old, for—behold!—the homliest of the homely was made beautiful for a mere pittance. Next in line was the Art Exhibit, the works of which were indeed meritorious. Those who visited it predict a great future for the amateur artists. The center of attraction during the entire evening was the roulette wheel where Kewpie dolls were given to the lucky patron. Other popular attractions of the evening were: The Seven Wonders of the World, Menagerie, Moving Picture Show, Fortune telling, Candy and Pop Corn, and various other stands which created a great deal of merriment. Last, but not least, was the beautiful Japanese Tea Garden, where the hungry ones made frequent journeys for ice cream, cocoa and wafers. Every one came with his purse well filled and consequently a neat sum of one hundred twenty-six dollars was realized. After deducting expenses the proceeds will go to further the publication of the Orange and Black. Many thanks are given the Seniors for their loyal and untiring efforts. European Relief The students, as well as the faculty, of the Falls City High School proved 100 per cent Americans by contributing fifty dollars for the relief of the starving and homeless people of Europe. We are indeed proud of this record, not only because of the act in itself, but because of the fact that we were the first in the county to contribute. The quota for Richardson County was four thousand, five hundred forty dollars. Virgil Falloon, chairman of the European Re'ief Council of Richardson County, did splendid work in raising this sum, and much credit is due him as well as the people of the county, as they were not only the first in the state to reach their goal, but went over the top by a sum of three hundred, thirty-two dollars. The contribution from the High School pupils was based on a sincere desire to help their less fortunate fellow students, rather than a mere compliance with request. Patriotic Program Encouraged by the W. R. C. and the D. A. R. there was a widespread movement throughout the Public Schools of America to commemorate all great men whose birthday anniversaries occurred in the month of February. Ex-President Roosevelt was also included in the list. The Falls City High School chose February 25, and in honor of those great Americans, rendered a program as follows: The Star Spangled Banner—Assembly—Led by High School Orchestra and Boys Glee Club. Early Life of Washington—Mildred Lichty. Later Life of Washington—Vivian VanHoesen. Preamble of the Constitution—Wilma Coatney. Life of Lincoln—Carl Hoffman. Gettysburg Address—Hazel Ratekin. Appreciation of Longfellow—Henry Pribbeno. Roosevelt as a Sportsman—Fern Maddox. Life of William McKinley—Edward Wittrock. At the close of the program the student body sang America led by the Orchestra and Boys’ Glee Club. Page Forty-three ORANGE AND BLACK THE ORANGE AND BLACK STAFF Left to right.

ORANGE AND BLACK Football Notes On the first day of school our football team launched into the season with only five old players. From the very far start there was a good number out for practice, the “old” players with their usual pep and enthusiasm while the “new” ones were soon right in line keeping almost perfect step. Mr. Britton, who is a past master in the secrets of the game, coached the Falls City Gridiron men through a very successful season. With the combined efforts of him and Captain Carl Hoffman and the co-operation of every member of the squad, Falls City had a football team this year of which they can well afford to be proud. The first game was scheduled for October 1, and on that date Pawnee brought their gridiron squad to test our power. They soon found that they had no show and at the end of the game the score stood 21 to 14 in our favor. The next week on October 7th, our boys went to Plattsmouth to convince them that we were not as easy a victim in football as we had been in basketball the previous season. In this game the Falls City boys scored two touch-downs and one successful kick while Plattsmouth could only manage to make one touch-down, making the score 13 to 6. Then on October 15th, the boys went down to their first defeat. Every man on the team did his very best and the spectators witnessed some very clever playing, but the odds were too heavily against them and Horton scored 34 points while Falls City was not once able to cross the line. This game did not lessen the boys’ enthusiasm, because they were more then ready to sacrifice something in the number of victories to the advantage of meeting the best teams. On October 22nd, the team went to Tecumseh and here again met defeat. When the final whistle blew the score stood 28 to 0. In this game Uhlig and Pollard were so badly crippled up that they were not able to play the whole game. Although this was our second defeat the boys were determined it should be the last. October 29th marked the date of another victory for Falls City. On that date, Auburn came here very confident of themselves. Their faith, however, was somewhat shaken when they were only able to score one touch-down, while our boys made a total of 44 points. In this game the bays all demonstrated their ability to play Football as well as their determination to make this season a successful one. However, we were doomed to disappointment for on November 5th, we lost to Atchison by a score of 6 to 0. This defeat was mostly due to bad luck since the arrival of three of our men was necessarily delayed until nearly the end of the first half. It was during this time that Atchison made their one touch-down, when the regular men were again in line, some very accurate passing and all around good playing was witnessed. Then the whistle was blown just before our boys made the final drive that would have saved the day for us. The boys feel sure that if their regular men had been in the field from the start Atchison would never have made their one touchdown and Falls City woud have been able to score. On Armistice Day, November 11th, we played Robinson on our home gridiron and .is score proves that the boys had not only gained confidence but were gritting their r -th with determination. The final score being, Falls City 51, and Robinson 7. On November 19th Nebraska City came down determined to take the bacon home, though they put up a good fight and made as many touch-downs as Falls City, failed to properly put the pig skin over the cross bars, so when the final whistle the score was 14 to 12. last and most thrilling game of the season was staged on the gridiron, on iving Day, November 25th, with Hiawatha, the team that two weeks previous to date had bragged of how badly they would defeat Falls City. Both teams W3i . on their toes when the game began. At the end of the first half Hiawatha v:a„ in the lead by one touch-down but at the end of the game the score stood a tie on p-own’s educated toe had saved Falls City from defeat. This game was the on the Falls City field for six Seniors. They will undoubtedly be missed -ar when the Football team is chosen. Thus the Falls City football team of 19r.d ed with a very successful season. Page Forty-six ORANGE AND BLACK BROWN BROWN Dewey Brown played his first and last year of football with Falls City High School. He made a reliable end and a good substitute at half back. His toe was always dangerous, either from drop kick, punt or place kick. Although crippled up and slowed down for a part of the season, he made a good record. BUISING Buising started the season at quarter back but was found to be a greater asset to the team at half. He was a consistent ground gainer through the line and a shifty open field runner. He did the passing and made several long runs. We expect some very good play from him next year. BUISING HEISER HEISER Here’s to “Midget” Heiser who runs on his stomach and can always be relied upon to make a gain where there is the slightest chance. This was Charlie’s fii'st year of football and he did himself proud at half back. His defense was first class and in advancing the oval he was invaluable to his team. Watch out for this Napoleon next fall. HOFFMAN Captain Hoffman began the season at half back and was shifted to quarter, filling both positions with skill. He adapted himself well at quarter back, and we only wish that he would be with us another season. His third and last season was marked with good steady football. Hoffman was equally strong on offensive and defensive, and made a capable leader for his loyal teammates. HOFFMAN Pa ye Forty-seven ORANGE AND BLACK HUMBARGER HUMBARGER Humbarger was slightly handicapped by lack of weight, but nevertheless he was a dependable end. He plays a snappy game with plenty of fight. We would appreciate his service another year, but graduation takes him from the squad. McCOOL Bill McCool was interchanged at tackle and guard and toward the close of the season was placed at center where he became quite adept at the tricks of that difficult position. McCool was strongest on defensive work. This was his first year of football, and his experience should make him a strong lineman another year. McCOOL MASSEY MASSEY Elmer Massey is another light man, but he has nerve. Playing his first season at end, he made some pretty tackles. Massey has two years ahead of him and promises to make a good kicker and a deceptive open field runner. METTZ Had it not been for an attack of rheumatism, Mettz would have developed into a center of rare ability. He was an accurate passer and a real fighter. While he was in the game, his progress was rapid. It was a hard blow to the team when he was forced to give up the game. This is his Senior Year. METTZ Page Forty-eight ORANGE AND BLACK MOSIMAN MOSIMAN George has played his last game for F. C. H. S. He held down a tackle job in good shape. His strength was on offensive, for he was a dangerous man on tackle around plays. He was called into the back field on numerous occasions, making some very good runs. His place will be hard to fill next year. POLLARD Pollard, tackle, advanced the ball fairly well when called to do so. But in the line he was a tower of strength. His defensive game was so stiff that few gains were made through that side of the line. On offense, he opened up the line for many good gains. We are glad he has another season with the Orange and Black. POLLARD SCHEITEL SCHEITEL. This was Scheitel’s first experience on the gridiron. He played a guard, and his weight is in his favor. This season’s work, together with additional fight, which he was developing as the season closed, should make him a valuable member of the 1921 squad. SHARRITT Earl Sharritt took the pivot at the beginning of the season. He was rapidly developing into a real defensive man and an all-around good center when the condition of his heart made it advisable for him to withdraw from the squad. We hope that he may be welcomed back next season. SHARRITT Page Forty-nine ORANGE AND BLACK SPERRY SPERRY For a guard position and center, Sperry was exceedingly light, but what he lacked in weight he made up in fight. He played both of his positions well. Time after time he would break through the opposing line and throw the backs for a loss. The team will miss him next year. UHLIG Although this was Uhlig’s first year of football, he played like a veteran. From the full back position he plunged the line for consistent gains. He is a sure, hard tackier, a stone wall in backing up the line. When shifted to tackle at times, he did himself justice. Joe is another man to look for next fall. UHLIG WHITFORD WHITFORD Whitford, an experienced end, did all that was expected of him, which was considerable. Murray is a sure ground gainer on end around plays. Also he is a clever man on the far end of a forward pass, as he demonstrated in several games. We are expecting even better work from him during his next year of service. ZORN Wilbert Zorn was the only Freshman to make the team. Since he has three years ahead of him, he should make Falls City High a valuable man. He was out of his element at full back, being better adapted to half or end, but nevertheless he played a nice game. Zorn has the zip, and it’s backed by lots of nerve. ZORN Page Fifty ORANGE AND BLACK GIRLS’ BASKET BALL ■� The Girls’ Basketball season opened with a rush and a snap that fairly shook the old gymnasium and made the Falls City High School realize that Girls’ Athletics was a real live matter. About twenty girls came out for practice and through their hard and faithful work made it the most successful season ever known to F. C. H. S. The team felt justified in having as their Captain, Daisy Barton, who is experienced in this line of work, having filled this position so successfully last year. Much credit is due to her and also to the faithful coaching of Miss Beckett. Through the support of the second team and the Alumni, in practice a well-balanced team was formed, excellent team work and quick accurate passing developed. We played our first game on our own court against the Alumni girls January 7. They found that we were not an easy victim, as we defeated them by a score of 38 to 18. On January 14, we went to Mound City to meet our old rivals. As the only game we lost last year was our first game with Mound City, we went out on the floor determined that they should not blot our record again. Where there’s a will there’s a way, and we defeated them by a score of 23 to 11. The following Friday, January 21, we went to Sterling. We had been informed that Sterling had a REAL team, and although they had some very good players, they could not come up to the standard of the F. C. H. S. girls. The final score 13 to 11, proves that it was an interesting game. Hiawatha came here the following Friday, January 28. Hiawatha is another of our old rivals, both in Basketball and Football. Of course they were sure of defeating us, but on the other hand we were just as sure they would not. All the girls played a good game, and the final score 28 to 14, showed the game was ours. February 4, Mound City came here, determined to break our chain of victories, but they were also among the list of disappointed ones, the score being 37 to 7. Saturday, Februray 12, Nebraska City came here with the idea of showing us how to play Basketball. We were, however, well versed in the secrets of the game and also the tactics of the visiting team. The girls were all in good trim and notwithstanding a few “knock out” blows dealt us by the visiting team, the game closed with another victory for F. C. H. S. Score, 24 to 18. Saturday, Februai-y 18, we went to Hiawatha. The trip was made in cars and we were accompanied by a crowd of rooters, who encouraged us through the game with snappy yells. Here we played the hardest game of the season. Every girl played a good game and it was no one’s game to the close. When the whistle blew the score stood 14 to 24. This put more pep than ever into the game, each player dashed madly on the floor determined to win. The audience was breathless and after what seemed an interminable length of time the ball was in our field, and before any one realized what had happened the game was ours. Score, 16 to 14. Sterling came here on Friday, February 25. The game was a complete walkaway from the start, and we scored 39 points to their 7. Friday, March 4, the “Invincible Six” went to Nebraska City for the last game of the season. It was a hard fought game, but every girl played her best—the for- wards displayed their ability at goal shooting whenever the opportunity permitted; the guards played a stone wall defense game, and the centers showed good work by keeping the ball in the F. C. territory. When the final whistle blew we were justly victorious, the score being 14 to 10. Thus the season closed with nine decisive victories. Hats off to the 1921 Girls’ Basketball Team. They have certainly left a record for the F. C. H. S. long to be remembered. We are sure that our successors will maintain this record. Miss Beckett has coached the Girls’ Basketball team through a very successful season. She knew all the principles of the game and spent all her spare moments in coaching the girls. The spirit, with which the girls played and the success of the team proves the value of her efforts. Page Fifty-one GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Lydia Wulf, 1st center; Cleo Hoffman, 2nd center; Rosa Hoy, guard; Miss Beckett, coach; Daisy Barton, captain, guard; Jennie Parsons, forward; Audrey Wheeler, forward. 1 Barton—Guard (Captain) We are justly proud of our Captain on the basketball floor—steady, strong and consistent; always “on the spot” in team work and in guarding her man, made her a guard any school would be glad to claim. It is with regret that we see Daisy leave this year, for her place cannot easily be filled. Hoffman—Second Center We are all glad that Cleo will be with us for another year, for, although her weight is against her, she more than makes up for any deficiency by her speed and when she once gets the ball she never lets go till the whistle blows. Although we are losing some of our best players this year we are sure of a good second center for next season. Hoy—Guard Rosa is an all around athlete. Her lot fell to guarding on our team and she filled her place to perfection. Sure, quick and always at the right place at the right time. We are indeed sorry to lose the guard upon whom the success of our team so largely depended. • Parsons—Forward Bessie is not a sensational player but one of the slower, but sure and steady kind upon whom we could always depend. More than once her cool and calculating aim saved the day. We are glad that she has one more year with us and next years’ team will have a forward without peer. W heeler—Forward The “why, you can’t keep track of her—she’s all over the floor at once,” which was overheard at a game surely expresses Audrey. Quick as a flash her guards were simply left in the dark while she dashed past them and dropped in a basket from some corner of the floor. We hate to lose her but may she be as successful in life as in athletics. Wulf—Center Lydia is an ideal center in all respects. Not one of her opponents this season could out-reach here on the tip off and from then till the final whistle blew she “had t m going.” They could only watch while she calmly dropped in a basket. We jinly consider ourselves lucky that we can depend on her for next season. Page Fifty-two ORANGE AND BLACK BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Left to right.

Bottom row; John Hunibarger, forward; Russell Pollard, captain, guard; Murray Whitford, forward; Dewey Brown, forward. The Boys’ Basketball season opened with a defeat from Peru on our home floor. This being the first game of the season and Peru having a team that practiced with the Normal team, the boys did not feel discouraged by this defeat. The next two games were lost to Nebraska City and Creighton High School of Omaha. The defeat at Nebraska City was due to the lack of team work, while the one at Omaha was partially due to the extremely large floor. The fourth, fifth and sixth games were played at home. The fourth game was with Hiawatha. The boys put up a good fight, holding the visitors to a tie until the last two minutes of play, but luck was against us, and Hiawatha scored two field goals just before the final whistle blew. The next game was with Nebraska City, who convinced us of their superiority by again taking the long end of the score. Then came Plattsmouth, with the same team as last year. Although this was another defeat, the boys showed that they were playing a better brand of ball than in previous games. The last of our defeats was at Hiawatha. This game was lost because of poor team work in the last half. At the end of the first half Falls City was in the lead by one point, but failed to score in the last half, while Hiawatha piled up a safe lead. The last two games were played on the home floor and were both victories for the Orange and Black. The game with Humboldt was either team’s game until the final whistle. The game with Palmyra was more of a one-sided contest. In this game the boys proved that they were just coming into form. Peru had defeatei1 Palmyra by only three points. This season, as last, was not successful as far as winning games was concerned, but the fellows that will return next year will be more experienced. This year the team loses: Mosiman, Hoffman, Brown and Hunibarger. McCool, Whitford, Buising and Pollard will be back next year.

M ark Tefft’s shoe store ’Twas in the fall of ’20, the boys were to be seen; Of material, we had plenty, but most of it was green. We had a little kicker—his name was Dewey Brown, And he was the bestest kicker that ever will be found. Hoffman was our captain, Uhlig was our full, Pollard was always certain to run off with the ball. Zorn was something new, but he played a snappy game; Scheitel was a greenhorn too, but he got there just the same. Sperry was the center who handed Buising the pill, Heiser was the sprinter who gave the game the thrill. Mettz got a “cholly hoss” when they hit him with a bang, Whitford will surely be a boss on a section gang. Mosiman just had to play for someone on the side line, Massey had nothing to say, but he got there just in time. Humbarger played a good game, he was nobody’s fool, Another one played the same—it was Bill McCool. I think without the slightest doubt that this gets them all, And now we ought to shout that we play real football. —Contributed by Dean Alexander.

REDWOOD INSURANCE Class Prophecy-continued In the toy deartment I saw Herbert Hilgenfeldt making clever little toys of wood. In the clothing department, Marie Frehse was designing dresses for the most particular patrons. I didn’t slight the Men’s Department, where Charley Heiser was auctioneering off Men’s shoes, size 14, half price. After a short visit with these old time school friends, I was forced to proceed on my journey. When I once more started down the street, I was attracted by a sign which l-ead, “Interior Decoration.” Rosa said Helen Heims and Bernice Peck were partners in that trade. Of course I had to run in and say hello to them. A little farther down the street a grand building was under construction. We went to investigate it and found that our old friend George Mosiman was the contractor. In our visit with George he told us about the stupendous success he was having as a Structural Engineer. We asked him to whom the building belonged and he told us that Leonard Landrigan and Worth Mettz were starting an auto factory. We went on down the street, bought a paper fi-om a newsboy, and decided to go to the show. On glancing at the paper I was startled to see in hughe headlines, “Dewey Brown, the World’s Star Ball Player, will be here next week.” I was sorry that I wouldn’t get to see Dewey, but felt fortunate at getting to see so many other of the “Old Crowd.” We went on into the cinema palace where I found another surprise. The picture was “The Twins in Trouble,” starring Mildred Lichty and Dorothy Mosiman with Sylvester Tiehen as the villian. After the show Rosa asked if I would like to visit their new hospital. She explained that it had been founded by Ludeen Nixon and Ola McManus, who had made their fortunes advertising cosmetics. Upon arriving I was much surprised to find Joy Davis the head nurse. As it was now nearly six o’clock I decided that I needed rest. When I arrived at the hotel, whom should I meet but Wilma Parsons! I asked her what she was doing in the city and she informed me she was proprietor of the hotel. I told her I wanted a room. She gave me the best in the house, provided I would go to the opera with her that evening. I promised 1 would go. She told me that Marie Scott was appearing in the opera, as a great Prima Dona, while Irma Shubert was an acrobat of renowned fame. Of course I was more anxious than ever to attend so went to my room to get a much needed rest. When I awoke, I found to my great chagrin that I was once more in the tent of Mystic Willy. It had been only a dream! “Oh, tell me, will my dreams come true?” Very happy at hearing of all the “old” class, I started home. Remembering my luck in learning about Dewey, I bought the evening paper, just to see if I could learn of anyone else. Sure enough, on the very first page, I read an article about the wonderful “Old Maid Society,” of which Hazel Ratekin was founder and president. Reading on I found, to my delight, that Edward Wittrock, the Dairy King, had just returned from a trip to Europe in the interest of the dairy business. My day was now over. I felt absolutely at ease with the world, for I had learned something about every member of the old class of ’21. My last thought that night was, “Here’s hoping that every member of the class of 1921 meets wealth, happiness and success in the years to come.” Page Eighty-one ORANGE AND BLACK Tfememher SIMANTON and PENCE FLORISTS L.

Cold and reserved natures should remember that though not un-frequently flowers may be found beneath the snow, it is chilly work to dig for them and few care to take the trouble. Even Abe Lincoln, though never noted for his beauty, had some pride in his appearance. One day, the story is told, while going down the street, he met a man who looked him over closely and drew a gun on him. “Stranger,” the man said, “I swore that if I ever met anyone homelier than I was, I’d shoot him on sight.” “Brother,” drawled Abe, “if I’m homelier than you I reckon you might as well.” LINCOLN ON BREVITY Once when President Lincoln was handed a huge pile of papers containing a report on a new army and naval gun, he said, “I would want a new lease of life to read all this. If I send a man to examine a new horse for me I expect him to give me his good points, not to tell me how many hairs he has in his tail.” Are you explaining the good points in your proposition or telling how many hairs in its tail? A minister who guarded his morning study hour very carefully told the new maid that in no circumstances were callers to be admitted —except, of course, he added, in a case of life and death. Half an hour later the maid knocked at his door. “A gentleman to see you, sir.” “Why, I thought I told you—” “Yes, I told him,” she replied, “but he says it’s a question of life and death.” So he went downstairs and found an insurance agent. It is a much shallower and ignoble occupation to detect faults than to discover beauties.”—Carlyle. COUNT THAT DAY “If you can sit down at the set of sun And count the acts that you have done, And, counting, find One self-denying deed, one word That eased the heart of him who heard One glance most kind, That fell like sunshine where it went— Then you may count that day well spent. “But if, through all the livelong day, You’ve cheered no heart, by yea or nay— If, through it all You’ve nothing done that you can trace That brought the sunshine to one face— No act most small That helped some soul and nothing cost— Then count that day as worse than lost.” Page Eighty-five ORANGE AND BLACK W.

So we went to press, and I rather guess We printed a full edition. “One edition is hardly enough,” She said with a charming pout, So again on the press the form was placed, And we got some “extras” out. One morning Carl Hoffman read the announcement of his own death in the paper. Going quickly to the telephone he called up his old friend George Mosiman. “Hello, George, did you read of my sudden death in the morning paper?” “Yes,” replied George, “where are you speaking from?” “In what respect are school eachers similar to eyes?” They have pupils. You tell ’em, school teacher, you have the class. Y'ou can always tell a Senior by his sedately dress, You can always tell a Junior by the way he swells his chest, You can always tell a Freshman by his timid looks and such, You can always tell a Sophomore, but you cannot tell him much. PEP Vigor, vitality, vim and punch, The courage to act on a sudden hunch, The nerve to tackle the hardest thing With feet that climb and hands that cling, And a heart that never forgets to sing— That’s Pep! To say “I will” for you know you can, To look for the best in every man, To meet every thundering knockout blow, And come back with a laugh because you know You’ll get the blame of the entire show— That’s Pep!

Pollard is our captain true And when the gun is sure to crack He looks like a streak of blue Leading them all down the dusty track. Wiltse is the one who always smiles When he looks beside him to see his prey; “You fellows can’t run a mile,” His smile seems to say. Shields is a fellow lank and lean And as the judge says “go,” Ahead of the others he can be seen, Which proves he is nothing slow. Nutter and Zorn are nothing slow, But when they are in line, And Pruesse beside them, who also can go, They sure do take the line. The discus, Buising throws, And also vaults with our new pole, Which everybody knows, We can’t leave Jones off the roll. We have Massey, with a smile, Who sure has some stride, Can beat them all at the half mile With his wonderful stature and pride. We have Uhlig who is short and fat But he can “Put the shot at that.” We chose our coach whom we will name last, Hahn is his name, and he is mighty fast. Although our team may be lank and lean, They have the makings of t man, Which I am sure was seen At that meet—But oh! how tt ran! Page Eighty-seven FLOYD SHIELDS. ORANGE AND BLACK M. H.
