MISS CLEVELAND Class Sponsor Page Thirteen ORANGE AND BLACK SENIOR HISTORY 1? w ON the second day of September, nineteen hundred eighteen, began the long eventful journey for the class of nineteen hundred twenty-two in F. C. H. S. As freshmen, we were more or less bewildered, but as soon as we had become accustomed to the daily routine of the school, thanks to the teachers and upper-classmen, we began to branch out into various activities. At the first class meeting we elected the following officers: Francis Yoder, President; Ben Morgan, Vice-President; Fred Whitaker, Secretary; and Mildred Brown, Treasurer. Miss Minford was chosen Class Sponsor, and much of our success was due to her careful guidance. Among our social functions during our first year was the party given by the Sophomores. After the initiation given to us at the hands of our supposed superiors, we felt that we had a claim to a full fledged membership in the F. C. H. S. With lots of F. C. H. S. Spirit, we took an active part in all athletics. Two of our members were on the football squad. Also several of our members were out for both baseball and track. Since this part of our journey had been so pleasant, we anxiously looked forward to the next. In the fall of 1919, the members of the much abused but energetic class of ’22 laid aside their childish ways of the previous year, and entered the field of school activities as Sophomores. In the election of class officers, the following were chosen: Vernon Parsons, President; Francis Yoder, Vice-President; Margaret Cockeran, Secretary and Treasurer; and Mr. Sims, Class Sponsor. Our class was well represented this year in athletics. On the football field we had five men, in basket-ball we furnished two of the players and enjoyed the distinction of having one made Captain of the team. When the Student Council was organized, two representatives were selected from our group. In the Sophomore-Freshman Girls’ Glee Club, we furnished several members, as well as the pianist for two of the clubs. One social event which was thoroughly enjoyed, was the one given us by the Freshmen. We found them to be royal entertainers. In the year of nineteen-twenty, the best-ever class again entered the F. C. H. S. as Juniors. Class officers selected for the year were: Xenia Fouts, President; Ruth Goldner, Vice-President; Francis Yoder, Secretary and Treasurer; and Miss Beckett, Class Sponsor. At the beginning of the second semester, our president entered the Senior Class and Russell Pollard was elected to fill the vacancy. In November, we gave a party at the High School in honor of the Senior Class, inviting the Nebraska City and Falls City teams as our guests. The Juniors, true to their color, by no means neglected athletics. Six Juniors won their letter in football. On the basket-ball teams we were exceedingly well represented, furnishing two of the stars for the girls’ team and four for the boys’ team. We feel that we are to be duly commended in the choice of our class rings and pins, which proved to be a favorable investment. On April 16, 1921, occurred the banquet given by the Juniors in honor of the Class of ’21, which was a grand success and will be an occasion long to be remembered by those who attended. Page Fourteen ORANGE AND BLACK In September, 1921, we returned to Falls City High School, for our last year within its walls. The class officers were chosen as follows: Russell Pollard, president; Lorene Buising, Vice-President; Bernice Shier, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Cleveland was appointed Class Sponsor, and it was due to her patience and kindness that the last year of our High School journey was so pleasant. As in former years we were well represented in athletics. On the football team we had six prominent players. On the boys’ basket-ball team three seniors made their letter. For the girls’ basket-ball team we furnished three players. When the Student Council was organized, the following seniors were chosen as members of the council: Russell Pollard, President; Lorene Buising, Vice-President; and Bernice Shier. We were honored by the Juniors during the first part of the year with a skating party, which proved to be a delightful time for all. We realize that much of our four years’ success is the result of the help given us by the Faculty. Therefore, we wish to extend them our sincere thanks. As one becomes attached to familiar haunts, so we have learned to love the name “Falls City High School,” and we are loath to leave it. We, as a class, can truthfully say that we have done our best at all times, and we hope and trust that it has been appreciated and that, ’though gone, the Class of 1922 will not be forgotten. —B. M. S. Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of 1922 We, the Senior class of 1922, of the city of Falls City, county of Richardson, and state of Nebraska, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and considering the uncertainty of this life, and being desirous of settling our worldly affairs while we have the strength and capacity to do so, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all other wills by us made.

Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the SENIOR CLASS OF 1922. (By Lois Mildred Ross) SENIOR PROPHECY Listen, 0 ye men and women, youths, maidens, and little children! Listen all ye people of Falls City, at the words of wisdom from the lips of your prophet. Now it happened that when it was decreed that the future of the class of 1922 be put in the hands of this, your prophet. I cried in a loud voice saying, “What am Page Sixteen ORANGE AND BLACK I to do? Why should the fate of this brilliant class rest upon me?” But lo, she drew back the curtain and said in a faltering voice, “Look! Listen! I prophecy unto the young men and women of Falls City High School.” For as I looked into the future I could discern familiar objects that gradually took the form of beings, once my dear classmates, now charged as they had often hoped to be. The veil grew less misty before my eyes, and I beheld my classmates as though the intervening years were naught. I could see our beloved president, and his manly bearing was the same as when he conducted the executive affairs of our class of ’22. Russell Pollard is beloved by our nation. I saw a megnificer.t home in London where Ethel James is making life happy for her barker husband. I saw Alice Harkendorf presented at the Court of Immanuel as a soloist of great ability. I saw a great cathedral. Charles Uhlig toad clad in the stately robes of a priest and from his mouth came great and good t uths. Gazirg into the South Sea Isles, I saw Florence Lutterfield. Surrounding her were a group of cannibals, and I saw her in earnest conversation with Chief Soinip Eupx. Next I gazed into professional circles, and among men of great minds, I saw Ruth Lewis maintaining a successful law office. I saw Robert Gerhardt, a rich banker, in an airplane, counting his money ai d flashing his diamonds in the sun. In an office downtown I saw Margaret Margrave submitting a manuscript which promises to make her famous. I saw a lonely widow, weeping over the death of her husband. Oh no! it was Louise Harris weeping over the death of her pet poodle. I saw an orphan asylum where Lilian and Edna Rieger preside. They make excellent mothers for the homeless children. Hilda Ketter was holding audiences spellbound by her delightful music. I beheld her one night in all her triumph. Francis Yoder was jigging to the music and it was a delight to see his body swaying in perfect rhythm. I saw a newsboy crying, “Extra, Extra. All about the big battle. American forces led to victory by brave Captain Harry Richardson!” I saw Hazel Green playing in a negro minstrel at a theatre in Falls City. Ah! A dainty lady of society, the queen of every gathering—the belle of every ball! I looked again and recognized Nellie Reynolds. My gaze wandered to a lecture hall. I saw a woman of strong temper. She lectures on a strong subject as she demonstrates her independence of man. Her name escapes me! But wait! It is Hester Porr. I saw a schoolroom. A professor astonished the class by the vast learning he has accumulated at Falls City High School. The students call him Professor Winfred Daggett. I saw a fair lady, disappointed in a love affair, who has become a nun and who is devoting her life to the happiness of others. She is called Sister Eva Crawford. I saw the plains of the West. Eleanor Greene was riding over the broad prairie. Also in this western land I saw a huge bill board in the great city. It read “Lois Ross! A second Melba, greatest opera singer of the day.” I saw Gladys Walthall exchanging confidences over the fence with her neighbor, over the important question of making good pancakes. I saw a glove factory where our beloved High School used to stand. Charles Sharritt was the successful manager. I saw a hospital where hundreds of patients lay. And most beloved of all the nurses was Agnes Redwood. She has won high esteem by her patience and kind ways. I saw Jennie Parsons, an actress fair and the idol of the public. Shifting my gaze again I saw Ruth Goldner a successful school teacher in Illinois. I saw Edwin Bippes, manager of a large silk worm farm near Rulo, Neb. I saw Lula Travers playing the pipe organ in a movie house in Boston. Hillard Inks was also in Boston where he has a newstand in the Union Depot. Near the outskirts of this city I saw a magnificent building. Several children were playing but they were communicating with each other by other signs. The mist cleared and I saw Clara Steinbrink and Adaline Gursche matrons in the deaf and dumb school. I saw Lorena Vaughn in the music room teaching the poor children music. Later I beheld Mabel Sperry studying economic conditions in Augusta, Maine. I saw Bernice Shier holding a responsible position as private secretary to J. P. Morgan, and I seem to see her transferred to a London office. My gaze shifted and I saw a star basket ball player amidst cheering crowds. I looked closer and recognized Bessie Parsons. I saw Marie Phelps, companion for Mrs. Vanderpool of New York City. I saw Lois McManus, a leader of society in Oklahoma City. Her husband is an oil king. I saw Marjorie McDonald as head saleswoman in an Omaha establishment. Ida Kreuger sells music in the same department store. Again the curtain descended and the land of things to be was shut forever from my sight. The mist grew deeper and deeper, and I turned away, glad for this little glimpse into the present life of my former classmates.

The Junior Class considers all three years as a great success. We entered as Freshmen with a class of 81. The class officers chosen were Margaret Frazier, President; John Lichty, Vice-President; and Charles Uhlig, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Rankin was chosen Class bponsor. Vve were well represented in athletics. The two most interesting events during this year were the initiation we received from the “Sophs” and our return party for them on Hallowe’en. We were represented on the Orange and black Staff by Clarence Gregg. Our next year was also conducted successfully. The class then consisted of 75 members.. Miss McAuley was Class Sponsor; Elmer Massey, President; Clarence Gregg, Vice-President; and Mildred Alder-fer, Secretary and Treasurer. We were highly pleased with the success of our Freshman reception which was mostly due to the efforts of our Sponsor. We were represented in athletics by Cleo Hoffman and Lydia Wulf, members of the Girls’ Basket Ball Team; Henry Scheitel and Elmer Massey on the Football Team; Berlyn Shields, Seward Jones and Elmer Massey on the Baseball Team. As Sophomores we were represented on the Staff by Berlyn Shields. The Junior Class, which now consists of 58 members, held its first class meeting September 23, 1921. The following officers were elected: Cecil Crook, President; Cleo Hoffman, Vice-President; Wilma Coatney, Secretary and Treasurer; and Miss Harris, Class Sponsor. On October 4, a meeting was called for the election of three members of our class to the Advisory Board. The three were Charles Uhlig, Helen Lichty and Elmer Massey. A Junior-Senior Skating Party was given about the first of December. An inter-class Basket Ball Tournament took place in December. The Juniors are glad to say that their team was the Champion Team, beating the Seniors by only one point. We received our class rings and pins about the first of February. We were highly pleased with them. A very interesting program was put on to the credit of the class. Our program consisted mainly of Musical Numbers and an impersonation of the teachers. The Juniors were awarded first place in the highest percentage of tickets to the double header basket ball game with Hiawatha, In Football we were represented by Berlyn Shields, Captain ’22, Melvin Johnson, Murray Whit-ford, Donald Lovelace, Cecil Crook, and Elmer Massey. The letter men in Basket Ball were Berlyn Shields, Cecil Crook, Elmer Massey and Murray Whitford. Cleo Hoffman and Lydia Wulf represented the class on the Girls’ Basket Ball Team. Although no track events have taken place we are honored by having four of our men constantly training. This year we are represented on the Orange and Black Staff by Elmer Massey, Class Representative, and Wilma Coatney, Assistant Editor. As to the success of our class this year we must not forget our Class Sponsor. Had it not been for her ideas and work, we most probably would not have made so good a record. E. M. ’23. Page Twenty ORANGE AND BLACK THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET 1? On Saturday night, April 29, 1922, the Juniors gave a banquet to the Seniors, Faculty and Board of Education in the High School Gymnasium which was elaborately decorated with crepe paper, Japanese lanterns and flowers in the Junior colors, blue and buff, and the Senior colors, red and white. The first floor corridor was changed into a reception hall, furnished with plants, floor lamps, rugs and chairs, and the reception committee made all the guests most welcome. At 8 o’clock, Esther Mettz and Grant Whitford dressed as sailors and announced dinner and led the Grand March, which was played by Mary Cameron. The Sophomore Orchestra under the direction of Miss Gregory, and with Miss Xenia Fouts as pianist, furnished excellent music throughout the evening. A delightful four-course dinner was prepared by the Baptist ladies and served by twenty Sophomore girls dressed in white middy suits and red ties. After the dinner the following toasts were given with Cecil Crook as toastmaster. Address of Welcome......................Cecil Crook Response ...........................

From the first we showed ourselves competent, if not brilliant, and throughout the year we did our utmost to make ourselves worthy members of the High School. The Sophomores honored us with a party, which was returned in the same spirit. The staff of officers for that year were—Clarence Nutter, President; George Reid, Vice-President; Anna Margaret Brecht, Secretary-Treasurer, and Miss Herrick, Sponsor. In the various school activities of the year we assisted as much as possible and we were not wrong in declaring that the following year would be very successful. Now, at last this class has come into its own. On the 5th of Sept., with a scholarly army of about sixty strong, we took our standard of the purple and gold and began our second march to wrest for ourselves a place in the annals of the F. C. H. S. At our first class meeting for reorganization, the following officers were elected: Anna Margaret Brecht, President; John Whitaker, Vice-President; Rosalie Linsley, Secretary-Treasurer, and Miss Gregory, Sponsor. On Oct. 3rd we successfully entertained the Freshmen with a party in the gymnasium. At the opening of the basket ball season, a Sophomore team was organized, which captured third prize in the Inter-Class Basket Ball Tournament. On the first football and basket ball teams we were represented by Wilbert Zorn, and on the Girls’ Basket Ball team by Sara Helen Simanton and Esther Mettz. We hope that next year we will have a larger representation on th? teams. Along musical and dramatic lines we also showed ourselves proficient and fcr the Sophomore Class program, with the presentation of our play, we furnished a ten-piece orchestra. On the whole, this has been a very successful year, thanks to the Faculty and out Sponsor, Miss Gregory; and when we return next P’all as Juniors, we are determined to make that year an even greater one for ourselves and the Orange and Black.

Nearly eighty strong, we entei’ed the portals of the Falls City High School, Sept. 5, 1921; knowing not what lay before us, but destined to find out. By popular election Merle Uhlig was chosen President; Melville Kirk, Vice-President; Mary Morgan, Secretary-Treasurer, and last but not least, Miss McAuley, Sponsor. Right royally were we entertained by the Sophomores at the first party of the year, at which it is suffice to say, we were the primary entertainers. Feeling now as if we had more rights in the school’s activities, we gave a party in honor of the Sophomores. Its success or failure is a question which must be determined by the Sophomores. This party followed the only other social event, a class picnic. Regarding athletics, our boys, though unable to make the first teams this year, received valuable training, training which they will have need of when they occupy first team positions. We were well represented in the High School Orchestra and Band this year, but we hope to do better next year. In the Jolly Jokers Carnival, the receipts of which went to the Lyceum Course, we did our part by putting before the public two attractions, mainly, “Trip Across the Atlantic and Around the World,” and a play entitled, “The Life of a Flapper.” To the graduating Seniors we bid farewell, wishing them success in all future undertakings. Though we have spent but a year with them, we regret seeing them depart, knowing that we shall miss them. We wish also to express our appreciation of the efforts our teachers have made in our behalf, but though we appreciate the efforts of others, our sincerest thanks are due to Miss McAuley, Sponsor of the Class of 1925.

By virtue of his speed and shiftiness, he made some remarkable gains through open field, including a sixty yard spurt against the fast Beatrice aggregation. Because of an injury sustained in early season, Buising was not in the line-up for several games, which was a decided handicap to the team. Toward the close of the season, he was becoming quite adept at running down forward passes. Charles Heiser, half back, two year man, lived up to all expectations, which, by the way, was a big load to carry. Weighing only 135 pounds, he slipped through heavy lines for consistent gains, and was even more effective when called around the ends. He runs low and fast, which makes him a hard man to get. Heiser plays a lot of football above the shoulders and uses a deadly tackle, making his defensive game strong. Captain-Elect Berlyn Shields, quarter back, one year man, handled the team remarkably well, considering that this was his first year on the gridiron. As the season advanced, his judgment became better, and he held the confidence of the team. He is a dangerous man in delivering a short forward pass. Although he was the lightest man in our entire schedule, he made some thrilling returns of punts. Wilbert Zorn, full back, two year man, was a tower of strength in our secondary defense. He has the ability to analyze plays and to follow the ball, and his tackling is aggressive and certain. Many plays were stopped in their making by his rushing defense. Zorn hits the line hard, and is a consistent gainer by that route. His interference is good. Page Thirty ORANGE AND BLACK CROOK GERHARDT HILGENFELD Cecil Crook, center, one year man, has those qualities which are necessary in order to play one of the most difficult positions on a football team—roving center. His offensive work was very good, especially in the accurate passing of the oval. And seldom did an opposing lineman get through him to smother a play. On defense, Crook shares honors with Zorn in following plays and breaking them up. He is in the game all the time, with plenty of scrap. Robert Gerhardt, guard, one year man, held his own with men heavier than himself by twenty pounds. Red hair is not red for nothing, so Gerhardt had the fight necessary to offset his lack of weight for a line position. He worked out part of the season at tackle, and was a handy man to have around in case of a shifted line-up. Silas Hilgenfeld, guard, one year man, did not come out for football until his last year in school. However, he held a regular position as guard, and played a steady, dependable game. “Si” is a good man ahead of a plunge, and is a stone wall on defense. The opposing backs did not care to hit him. Page Thirty-one ORANGE AND BLACK JOHNSON LOVELACE MASSEY Melvin Johnson, guard, one year man, made his letter although it was his first season out for football. Johnson is well built for a lineman, and showed up well for a lirst year player, doing some very effective blocking. With a little more experience, he should prove to be a valuable man to the team. Donald Lovelace, tackle, one year man, was handicapped by not being able to report for the first part of the season. But when once in the game, he soon swung into good form and made a strong defensive tackle. He was called into the back field on several occasions to buck the line. He has lots of fight, and will be a dangerous lineman next season. Elmer Massey, end, two year man, did some very good work in breaking up end runs. He was usually found at the right place at the right time to prevent the loss of considerable yards. Massey was worked out at half back which tended to detract from his work at end, but nevertheless he played his game well. He has another year ahead of him, which means an asset to the team. Page Thirty-two ORANGE AND BLACK MATTHEWS POLLARD WHITFORD Claud Matthews, end, one year man, rendered much service to the team in that he was adaptable to end, full back or half back positions. In the Auburn game, he was the most consistent ground gainer. At end, his chief pastime was drawing down forward passes, but he had few chances to complete the aerial route in actual play. It is to be regretted that he does not have another year with the Orange and Black. Captain Russell Pollard, tackle, four year man, headed the team in a very creditable manner. His presence was effective not only because of his ability as captain, but also because of his experienced style of play. He covered much territory on defense, and worried the opponents by solving their methods. At times he was called back to advance the ball, or to kick. In the Horton game, his drop-kicking featured. Pollard’s absence in the line-up next fall will be keenly felt. Murray Whitford, end, three year man, featured in the overhead game, completing several passes for notable gains. He was also a valuable ground gainer on end around plays. At times, his defensive game was of the very best, breaking play after play that would have otherwise made a different story. Whitford is a heady player, with lots of possibilities. Paye Thirty-three ORANGE AND BLACK FOOTBALL NOTES Falls City High School’s outlook for a winning team was very good. The team was fortunate in having seven letter men back and C. M. Britton for coach. Mr. Britton has coached the team for the past four years and has shown himself capable for that position. Coach Britton made a call for football candidates during the first week of school and about thirty husky youths responded under the leadership of Captain Pollard. Our first game was with Beatrice on September 23. Beatrice had one of the best teams in the state and Falls City, although defeated by the score of 35-0, showed they had plenty of fight. In this game Captain Pollard and Uhlig were both laid out. Our next game was with Pawnee City on September 30. The boys played good football but luck was against them and they were defeated 8-7. In this game Buising, our right half, was injured which made him unable to play in the next three games. Heiser, Massey, Zorn and Whitford played excellent football in this game, and Shields, our quarter-back, showed himself worthy of piloting the team. The next game was with Plattsmouth on October 7. This was our first game on our heme field and a good crowd was out to witness it. Falls City’s back field completely dazzled the Plattsmouth team, and we won an easy victory, 68-0. Heiser, our left half, made six touchdowns in this game. On October 14, the team journeyed to Horton, Kansas. Both teams played good football, but the Orange and Black was defeated by a score of 9-3, Pollard making our only points by a drop-kick, in the first few minutes of play. The main feature of this game was Heiser’s outrunning and tackling a Horton player, who had a clear field for a touchdown. Our next game was played October 21, on our home field with Tecumseh. This team looked like a college team lined up against Falls City, as their average weight was 175 pounds. Our team did well to hold them to a score of 42-0. On October 28 the team went to Auburn. It started to rain before the game began, and at the end of the first half the game was postponed on account of the wet field. Matthews was the main ground gainer in this game and for his first game in the back field, he showed up well. On November 4, Creighton High School of Omaha came to Falls City. With Buising back in the line-up and the team running good, we were in the best form so far during the season. This was one of the fastest and most interesting games of the season, but luck was against Falls City and Creighton made two touchdowns after being held scoreless for three quarters. The score was 12-0. On Armistice day the team went to Nebraska City. This was a game of real football, both teams playing in good form. Although Nebraska City scored the first touchdown, our team settled down and won the game. The final score was 16-7. On November 15, Auburn came to Falls City, very confident of a victory, but long before the game ended they realized it was impossible. It was a 35-0 victory for the Orange and Black. On Thanksgiving day the team went to Hiawatha. A large number of rooters accompanied them. The first half was hard fought and ended with Hiawatha having seven points to their credit, while Falls City had failed to score. Zorn had been laid out during this half and Heiser, shortly after the beginning of the second half. This weakened our team considerably and when the final whistle blew Hiawatha had the long end of the score, 41-0. This day, six seniors played their last football for F. C. H. S., namely, Captain Pollard, Buising, Heiser, Matthews, Hilgenfeld and Gerhardt. Although these players will be missed the prospects for a winning team next year look good. Shortly after the close of the season, Shields was elected Captain for next year. The schedule so far for next year includes games with Pawnee, Plattsmouth, Sabetha, Horton, Auburn, Nebraska City and Hiawatha. Best wishes are extended to next year’s team and it is hoped that a large squad will be out to compete for the various positions.

A Class tournament was held the first week, in which the Juniors took first place by defeating the Seniors, 11-9. Prospects for a winning team looked good, with Buising, Whitford and Pollard from last year’s squad and such material as Crook, Shields, Daggett, Matthews, Zorn, Massey and Nedrow with which to build a team. The first game was played on our home floor with Pawnee City. The boys were not playing in very good form but succeeded in defeating the visitors. The following week, one of the best games of the season was played on the Falls City floor with Nebraska City. Although this game was a defeat for the Orange and Black, it was a fast and interesting one. being either team’s game until the final whistle blew. The next game was played at Hiawatha. This game was the same throughout as the one preceding, ending in a defeat for Falls City by a close score. The next two games were played at Falls City and were both defeats for our team. The first of these was with Plattsniouth. In this game the boys put up a good fight but the visitors were too fast for them. The other game was with Peru, a team of big men. Our team was handicapped in this game by not having Captain Buising and Pollard in the line-up. The next two games were played out of town. The first was with Auburn, who defeated our boys by a good margin. The other game was the return game with Peru. Our boys held the Peruvians to a small score the first half but in the last half Peru outplayed Falls City and won. Two games were played the following week, one with Auburn, on our home floor, which was a victory for F. C. H. S., and the other a defeat at the hands of Nebraska City. This game was played on their court. The two games following were played at Pawnee City and Plattsniouth. Pawnee City was defeated for the second time during the season by our boys while Plattsniouth defeated Falls City for the second time. The last game on our home floor was with Hiawatha. This was the most interesting of all the games, first one team was ahead and then the other. The game was a tie until the last fifteen seconds, when Hiawatha shot the goal that won the game. A large crowd witnessed this game. The following week Falls City entered the State Basket Ball Tournament at Lincoln. The two hundred twenty-six teams entered were divided into fourteen classes. Falls City was placed in Class D. F. C. H. S. experienced the same kind of luck as she did four years ago. The team was selected to play against Pierce, which team won the championship of that class. At the end of the first half Falls City led by two points, but failed to score the last half. If Falls City could have played Pierce later in the tournament, the story might easily have been different. Thus the season closed with ten defeats and three victories for the Orange and Black.

Bottom Row: Cecil Crook, Wilbert Zorn, C. M. Britton (Coach), Lorene Buising, Grant Whitford. TRACK NOTES The track meet at Hiawatha was the only one entered by our team last year, in which Falls City won the following events: Buising, first place in pole vault, tied for second in high jump, fourth in both shot put and high hurdles; Pollard, first in broad jump; Brown, second in high hurdles and tied for fourth in high jump; Zorn, fourth in 220 yard dash; Wiltse, second in the mile. The track team of ’22 is looking forward to a successful season, with plenty of new material and the same team as last year with the exception of Brown. A point of advantage to this year’s team is a new track under construction at the North School. The great interest taken in track seems to designate it as the most popular spring sport for our school. It has been decided that Falls City shall be represented in the meet to be held at Hiawatha, April 28, and probably the State meet at Lincoln, May 13. The suggestion of an inter-class meet has been received with much enthusiasm and is being looked forward to as one of the most interesting events of the season.

So to make it easier to talk about them, we shall take them by classes. Seniors—Bessie Parsons as forward, made the highest number of goals during the season. The odds were usually against her, too—she either had an opponent who was taller and heavier than she or else she was overguarded. Nevertheless Bessie played a hard fast game. She is quick and accurate in shooting for the basket and a “whiz” at free throws. Our Captain, Ethel James, had a regular place as forward, but she was slightly handicapped by physical condition. She more often served as “sub.” Ethel could hold down other positions besides forward for at Pawnee she played guard very satisfactorily. She had determination and ability—both necessary qualities for a player. Louise Harris as guard easily made up for her diminutive size by standing right at the line and sending the balls back as constantly as they were thrown to her forward. It took quick thinking, deliberate aiming and a world of pep and hard work to make good, but Louise did it. The Juniors on the team were Lydia Wulf and Cleo Hoffman. We were always sure that Lydia as jumping center was going to give us a good start. In addition to outjumping her opponent, Lydia lost neither her head nor her temper. She played straight through just as hard when we were losing as when we were winning. She was always dependable as well as efficient. CJeo Hoffman played running center or forward. When playing forward she made her goals in spite of opposition, not only by being quick, but by planting her feet firmly on the floor and refusing to be moved until she had either had a try at a goal or given the ball to Bessie when she realized that the latter’s chances were better than her own. The team work of these two players won very favorable comment even from our most bitter rivals. Two Sophomores also won distinction by their good playing—Sarah Helen Simanton and Esther Mettz. Sarah Helen, better known as “Si,” proved her sterling worth as a guard. Although she frequently had a forward much taller than herself, she outjumped her a surprising number of times. She never lost her nerve. She “played the game” from beginning to end and no forward ever made anything without a hard fight. Esther Mettz, running center, was noted for her tenacity. More than once her opponent gave her a free ride through the air, but Esther never took her hands off that ball whether she landed on her feet or fell flat on the floor. She had but one idea, “That’s my ball,” and she always convinced us that her idea was right. There are some qualities that belong to the team as a whole as well as to individual members. Among these are the desire for a clean game and an intention to play not for personal honors but for the team—the representative of F. C. H. S. We consider the season a success, not only from the scores made but from the mutual helpfulness that was derived from the season’s work. We want to take this opportunity to thank Miss Elizabeth Mosiman and Miss Halcyon Whitford who so kindly and satisfactorily refereed our home games. Also we want to express our appreciation and give the merited encouragement to the players who did not make the team but who made the team possible. Hannah Kanel, sub-guard in several games; Lois Ross, Margaret Forney, Anna Margaret Brecht, Helen James, Marian Camblin, Gladys Morris and Mary Morgan. Page Thirty-vine ORANGE AND BLACK GIRLS BASKET BALL NOTES % ‘SJ About Thanksgiving time a group of Jolly Girl Students of F. C. H. S., between fifteen and twenty in number, began their practice for basket ball, under the supervision of Miss Alberta Harris. Ethel James was chosen captain and has proven a success and inspiration to the team. After several weeks of faithful practice, every girl was ready to meet the first opponents, determined to win the first game; and they did, the score being Falls City 23, Pawnee City 8. The visiting team enjoyed a spread given by the Falls City girls after the game. With slight changes in the line-up the girls played Hiawatha the following week. Because of old rivalry, we were more determined to win, but were overcome by larger girls. The score was 45-2. The next week we went to Auburn where we again faced defeat 26-13. But we were bound to win at the return game. Our next game was with Morrill, played on our own court, we won over the Kansans with a decisive score of 25-10. February 10, we went to Peru where our fastest and most exciting game was staged. We came home with the crown of laurels, our victory, 18-15. The next Friday Auburn came down to return victorious, but they were easily defeated in a fast game, the score being 29-16. The next day we played Morrill on their court. The court was small and we were thus handicapped, which accounts for our defeat, 15-13. The following Friday we played Pawnee City. Pawnee City showed their courtesy by returning our spread after they had been defeated by a score of 21-12. Again we were to meet our old rivals, Hiawatha, who had beaten us previously. With lots of pep, F. C. H. S. student body and town people gave us their support. Every member of the team was keyed to play her best. At the end of the first half the score was 17-11, which ushered in faint hopes of victory, but fate was against us again. Hiawatha won, 41-17. Thus, the season ended with four defeats and five victories. All the girls except three, played their first season of basket ball this year. So it must be granted that they have made a good record. Prospects are good for next year’s team, and with old players out for practice, we feel assured of success for F. C. H. S. girls of ’23.

At the beginning of the year the High School Orchestra was organized by Miss Messman, Music Supervisor. This year the orchestra is composed almost entirely of new members, as last year a number of the class of ’21 were enrolled. The orchestra has appeared on various programs. They furnished music for “The Mollusc,” which added a pleasing effect to the entertainment. On Washington’s birthday the members of the Eastern Star gave a social, at the Masonic Temple, for which the Orchestra rendered several selections which met with admiring applause. The Orchestra will take part in the Annual Glee Club Concert, and also furnish music for the Senior play. The High School has had an orchestra for the past two years and we hope this work will continue in the years to come.

About fifteen of these were present at the first rehearsal. The Boys’ Glee Club this year is made up almost entirely of new members, but they are very enthusiastic in their work, under the direction of their leader, Miss Messman. The boys have had no chance to show their ability so far this season, but they are looking forward to the Annual Glee Club Concert, to be held May 5, for which they are preparing some very pleasing numbers.

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB NOTES The Girls’ Glee Club this year is a little larger than that of previous years and besides being large in number, it is exceedingly enthusiastic. Under the leadership of Miss Messman, music supervisor, the girls practiced diligently. Since the club was so large it was divided into two sections the first semester. Some of the members dropped out and the two sections were later united into one club. Fern Maddox has served the club well as accompanist. The Glee Club has appeared several times at Parent-Teacher meetings, and the girls have rendered their work to the utmost satisfaction of their hearers. The goal of the club, toward which they have faithfully been working, is the annual concert to be held in the spring. Page Forty-four ORANGE ANI) BLACK LYCEUM COURSE i? Before the close of school last year, it was suggested that the High School finance a Lyceum Course the following winter. After considerable discussion the suggestion was put before the Student Body to be voted upon. The vote was unanimous for the Lyceum Course. A thorough canvas of the town was made before the first number and some two hundred forty-one season tickets were sold. Falls City patrons were given a desirable program to entertain them throughout the winter months. The first number was held at the Presbyterian Church October 25th. Alton Packard, a lecturer-cartoonist, entertained his audience with delightful numbers. He was heartily received and greatly appreciated. The Westhall quartette, composed of four young gentlemen of entertaining musical ability, delighted their hearers with a complete musical program, given November 15th at the Presbyterian Chui'ch. The Mollusc, a three-act comedy, was most artistically presented on Januax-y 30th at the Gehling Theatre as the third number of the Lyceum Course. A large house greeted the play, which was deeply appreciated. The Proctor company consisting of Harold Proctor, tenor soloist, May Rees, violinist, and Margaret Everett, accompanist, appeared at the Presbyterian Church on February 21st. Mr. Proctor delighted his audience with a varied group of well chosen songs, interspersed with pleasing numbers by Miss Rees and Miss Everett. Of William Rainey Bennett, we can truthfully say he is, “The Man Who Can.” He appeared at the High School March 18th. Although his audience was small, due to unfavorable weather conditions, this was regarded as one of the most successful numbers of the course. As the Lyceum Course was not a financial success, it is doubtful whether another course will be given next year, but it is hoped by those who attended this one, that it will be possible to have another Lyceum Course this fall, bringing the same degree of uplifting entertainment to Falls City. JOLLY JOKERS CARNIVAL H 1? With noise, terrific pep, enormous crowd, fun galore and such activity as made the building echo in all its parts, the Jolly Jokers Carnival was given, February 10, at the Falls City High School. It is hard to say where fun reigned supreme. Our assembly was the scene of an old time minsti'el show which took in dimes and passed out fun most successfully. The seniors scored honors on the largest gate receipts through this attraction. Page Forty-five ORANGE AND BLACK Down in the lower regions a “Crazy House” created much mirth. There was also one of the finest animal shows that ever came to town, a trip around the world, which every one took, and a thrilling drama called, “Life of a Flapper.” The Beauty Parlor made a great hit. Time flew and so did confetti, and when the evening closed, the Jolly Jokers Carnival was deemed a grand success. The total receipts amounted to $152. After deducting expenses the net proceeds of $114 were applied to the Lyceum Course deficit. The success of this Carnival was due to the loyal, untiring efforts and support of the entire school. OLDER BOYS CONFERENCE n n The Nebraska Hi-Y Clubs are divided into several sections for the purpose of holding conferences. These are held annually at various towns in the state, the purpose being to unite the high school students of the state by forming Hi-Y clubs and to bring the students into closer contact with each other. Falls City High School was not represented at the Conference last year but is planning on sending delegates each year in the future. It is also hoped that a Hi-Y club will be organized in our high school. This year F. C. H. S. was represented at the Conference, which was held at Nebraska City, by Harry Richardson, Cecil Crook, Morris Jones, Charles Sharritt and Russell Pollard, accompanied by Mr. Britton. The Conference opened Friday evening with a banquet given by the Chamber of Commerce to the delegates. The speaker of the evening was B. V. Edworthy of Topeka, Kansas. His subject was, “The Needs of This New Day.” On Saturday morning, advantages of the Hi-Y were discussed by various delegates. The remainder of the day was spent in discussing the fui'therance of the Hi-Y. Sunday morning the delegates attended the different churches in bodies and enjoyed a sermon prepai-ed for the occasion. The Convention closed Sunday afternoon with a short business meeting. A vote of thanks was extended to the citizens of Nebraska City for their support of the Conference. The Falls City delegates returned very enthusiastic, and good reports were given by them. They not only expressed a hope of having a Hi-Y Club organized in our high school, but also of having the Conference in Falls City next year.

The possibility of a band was uncovered when, on short notice, a group of the high school boys played for a basket ball rally. Mr. Smith then issued a call for band candidates, and a large number responded. Regular practice was arranged for, music ordered, and work began in earnest.

THE KNIGHTS OF THE BASKET BALL Here’s to the Knights of the Basket Ball, All honor to them be given; We’ll drink to their health in “Adams’ Ale ” To the toast of “We are Seven.” Pollard is a famous guard, He of the iron jaw; The rest keep still, as wise men should. When “Polly” lays down the law. Little Ber Shields, the laughing forward, Has a grin like a Chesire Cat; But the figures mount on the old score board When Ber takes a shot at the net. Matthews, the Silent, sometimes we think He is net just what he seems; But this we know—he has given his best To F. C. H. S. and the team. Daggett is a forward strong, With muscles like iron bands; But in the royal game where hearts are trumps, He h:lds unchallenged hands. Buising, the center of incessant joy! Everything’s funny to him; His fighting compares with an old Greek God’s, But there’s nothing like his grin. Crook, the guard with the inky scowl, Sinks fear in the hearts of the best, When he lowers his head like a muley cow And plays for F. C. H. S. And Zorn, our substitute guard, Does his part in every play; When he goes in, he thinks it’s their fault If they don’t get out of his way. So we’ll pledge to the bunch once again— Pa'je Seventy-six ORANGE AND BLACK M H. Redfield, Pres. I. D. Redfield. Secy. C. H. Cotton, Vice-Pres. H. A. Adams, Vice-Pres. J. I Sweeney, Vice-Pres. .
