Contents FACULTY CLASSES ATHLETICS ACTIVITIES ETCETERA Faculty Page Seven A. B. Gelwick, A. M. Superintendent Mr. Gelwick is a superintendent of whom any school might well be proud. As an executive he has upheld our standards of scholarship; as an athlete he has taught us a new meaning of “sportsmanship”. It is the earnest wish of the Class of ’31 that many other classes may have the advantage of such an administration as only Mr. Gelwick can give. A. W. Starkebaum, A. B. Principal In the capacity of principal Mr. Starkebaum has served the Falls City High School for four years. He has won the confidence and respect of the student body and is considered a leader of extraordinary ability.

Academic Course “’31’s youngest ” Page Eighteen Senior Class History We entered high school in the fall of ’27 with one hundred class members. We were unusually bright, even though our brilliance did have a greenish tinge. It wasn’t long before the Sophs took us in hand and showed us a thing or two. To show our appreciation we retaliated with a party later in the year. Our class was organized early in the year with the following officers: James Cameron, president; Beryl Smith, vice-president; Dorothy Lee Knisley, secretary-treasurer. Our sponsors were Mrs. Dewald and Mr. Cook. The following year we made progress quickly, not being obliged to wander aimlessly through the halls hunting class rooms, lockers, etcetera. In organizing the class we elected Jack Houston, president; Margaret Zorn, vice-president; Edmund Schmitt, secretary and treasurer; Miss Meyers and Mr. Smith, sponsors. The high point in our school life this year was the initiation we gave the Freshies. It was flawless, superb, in fact a “pip” and a complete education for the youngsters. Donald Lang and Lowell Haflich received football letters this year; and Haflich, a basketball letter, also. As Juniors we proceeded to make more history for F. C. H. S. We elected the following officers early in the year: William Fisher, president; Lillian Mayfield, vice-president; Edmund Schmitt, secretary; and Christobel Weaver, treasurer. Miss Myers and Mr. Smith were our sponsors. Craig Greenwald, Edgar Waller, Donald Lang, Raymond Yoder, Wayne Allen, Robert Grant, and Jack Houston were football lettermen while Lang and Allen represented the Juniors in basketball. We bought rings and pins (although we will never need any reminders of these four years) and in March gave a scintillating play “The Baby Cyclone,” under the direction of Miss Leta Wakelin. With the proceeds from this we gave a most successful banquet to the Seniors at the Weaver Hotel. As Seniors we were, of course, without rivals. In our usual dashing manner we plunged into the final year’s whirlwind of activities. Our first act was to organize our class with Chevalier Crandell, president; James Cameron, vice-president; Raymond Yoder, secretary; and Edmund Schmitt, treasurer. Miss Myers and Mr. Smith were again our sponsors, and we wish to take this opportunity to thank them for their guidance and advice during the last three years. At the close of the football season the following seniors received letters: Donald Lang, Wayne Allen, Raymond Yoder, Norman Schober, Henry Sauer, and Robert King. Lang, Schober, Yoder, and Allen, also received basketball letters. When the Orange and Black staff was selected, these seniors were chosen: Christobel Weaver, editor-in-chief; and William Fisher, business manager. Seniors in the M. I. N. K. contest were John Gehling, dramatic, second; and James Cameron, piano, second, while Lillian Mayfield, Josephine Vose and John Gehling represented Falls City in the District and Sub-district declamatory contests. On May 18, the Senior play, “Civilian Clothes”, was given in the High School auditorium under the direction of Miss Leta Wakelin. James Cameron and Lillian Mayfield carried the leads. This is but a brief resume’ of our high school career, and while historians tell us that history repeats itself, yet we are inclined to think ours will stand forever as characteristic of the members of the class of ’31. A. M. Page Nineteen Class Will World-weary and disillusioned as we arrive at the end of the trail, we, the Senior Class of 1931, having perfect control of mind, and being unaffected by hard study, realizing the vastness of our earthly possessions, hereby will and bequeath them as follows: First: To our teachers, we leave the pleasure of teaching all under-classmen to be more like their departing upper-classmen, the Class of 1931. Second: To the Juniors, we leave everything that Dick Prosser doesn’t know. Don’t get excited, Juniors. Third: To the Sophomores, we leave our ability to play hooky and get by with it.

Page Twenty-one MODERNISTIC, FUTURISTIC, PROPHETIC PREDICTIONS Upon arriving at that new World, the world of the fourth dimension, I stepped from the Giant Rocket Plane to the landing field, at Mars. I was met by a number of those old familiar faces from dear old F. C. H. S. Television photographers and radio reporters swarmed about me. Soon pictures bearing my resemblance were on every radio wave, and superdynamic speakers rang out the news: John W. Gehling arrives safely at Mars; last of the Senior Class of ’31 to leave earth. But what’s that I hear about stowaways? Dorothy Lee Knisely and Louise Wertz were found by Richard Heck, pilot, and Edmund Schmitt, navigator of the big plane, while they were helping Billy Crook, head mechanic, overhaul the machine. With no hard feelings to the stowaways, Miss Knisely and Miss Wertz, they proceed with me to a novel skyscraper where we must register as everyone does who comes to Mars from Old Earth. The man at the registry desk was none other than Bob King. He greeted us and summoned two bell boys that were dozing upon a bench nearby. I recognized one as Norman Schober, the other proved to be Orville Apel—neither had grown an inch taller. They were sent upon their errands and we continued upon our journey. Our name plates were filed in a large room, where many typists were pounding away on their machines; among them were: Cornelia Bruhn, Bernice Buchholz, Gladys Maye Iwig, and Grace Koehler. So intent was their interest in their work that they didn’t so much as glance up from their machines. In one corner of the room we found Mildred Brecht, who is licking postage stamps and sticking them upon letters addressed to the Mesdames Mary Alice Martin and Grace Miller, owners of the Cream Puff Pastry Shoppe. When we left the building we found a crowd watching a brotherly quarrel between the Bletscher brothers who were street sweepers in that city. Milton was trying to convince Herbert that it was no one-horse town. We learned from Milton that Robert E. Peck was also engaged as a street cleaner, having lost his mind following horses on a merry-go-round. We followed an ambulance driven by Marion Noland, carrying Marvin Kentopp, who was injured as the result of an argument with Elda Sailors, his better-half, when he was trying to explain being out all night. The ambulance stopped in front of the Emergency Hospital and two nurses came out. They were Gertrude Nichelson and Bernice Mosiman and they quickly took the patient into the hospital. Elnora Lowe is the owner of this Hospital and Clinic. Across the street is the Mars Conservatory of Music where Felice Ross is a voice instructor and Faye Walck is a pupil. Raymond Deckinger graduated from this school and now has a position singing over radio station IMNG. It is this vicinity that the Sauer Ice Cream Company is located. Henry Sauer has hired Alfred Kessler because he doesn’t like ice cream. Henry always was an economist. In a rougher part of the city Harley Jackson and Ann Morgan are joint owners of die “Min and Bill” Pool Hall. In that very place Dick Prosser was arrested for vagrancy (loafing) by Officer William Coatney. Dick was hailed into police court before Judge Don Thomas. I learned that in this same court Evelyn Ruegge, an actress, had filed suit against Lillian Mayfield, another actress, on a charge of assault and battery. And before this same magistrate Josephine Vose has filed for a divorce from Billy Crook on grounds of cruelty, non-support, and that his attentions are directed toward Loraine Ben-schoter. ; f. ; 1 Page Twenty-tn At the Mars University there are registered forty thousand students. Doris Lawson, assisted by Dorothy Kratz, a former hair-dresser, is here doing research work in the dyeing of hair. Opal Zuel, a student in social science, is interested in eradicating illiteracy. As members of the faculty, we find Chevalier Crandall, science instructor, who recently shattered Einstein’s theory by introducing the Crandall Theory. He attributed much of his success to Geraldine Schneider. Wilma Zorn is a teacher in journalism and has assisted Bessie Zoellers in writing a book entitled, “Why Bessie Couldn’t Help It”, in two volumes. One of the professors in the institution is Donald Lang, a surgeon. He is in partnership with Albert Fisher, an undertaker, and A1 is pretty good at taking care of a big stiff. Erwin Harkendorff is attending this institute of higher learning and has much effect on all classes, and a marked influence even on the faculty and officers; oh well, he is the janitor, you see. At the theatre we noticed LaVone Brannon, a Bollyhov Lady. Vera Shulenberg, an usher, seated us beside a distinguished philanthropist, whom we used to know as Christobel Weaver. But now she is known as Madame Lacree, one of the richest ladies of Mars, although her life and property are greatly endangered by the notorious racketeer, William Fisher alias Trigger Finger Bill. He has many struggles with a rival gang leader, Raymond Yoder, known as Machine Gun Doc. The struggle is over Colene, the queen of the underworld. A story of their love affair was given to an interviewer, Ruth Williams. She also made the report that Lucile Jellison and Bethyl Wright are impatiently waiting for Craig and Bob, two aviators, who have been in the air for the past eight years, attempting to break an endurance record. But to return to the theatre we enjoyed a show, much like “Green Pastures”, written by Helen Hunn, a wealthy producer. The vaudeville was amusing because Edward Holland was showered with a profusion of cabbage, tomatoes, and eggs. He tried a female impersonation act. And it was a real treat to see as a dancing team: Mildred Oberst and Wilma Yoesel. They put it all over any of Isadora Duncan’s gang. James Cameron is doing a stretch in a Governmental hoosegow for swindling and misusing the fund appropriated for a home for blind mice. Lester Kammerer is here too, because he pastured his cows on the Court House lawn. Margaret Zorn carries hot soup to die jail house where her friend Mildred Cunningham is sentenced for a month and a day for borrowing an aeroplane and wrecking it before it was returned to the owner, Catherine Rieger. Her accomplice made her getaway from the authorities by cutting loose in a parachute. Elnora Yoesel boasts the title of the Undefeated Champion Woman Pugilist. Her sparring partner is Hazel Reece and her trainer is Beulah Livingston. She has been matched in a title bout with Gladyce Buchholz, ex-middle weight champion. It is sad to relate the tragic fate of Monroe Hatfield. He started from Earth to Mars with a load of passengers and evidently did not arrive as there is no record reporting his arrival. One of the passengers was Ernestine Zorn. Well, I’d better stop before some one sues me for libel.

We were thoroughly introduced into the intricacies of the upper classmen by the Sophomores. Early in the spring, when we gave the Sophomores a return party, it was the general opinion of every freshman that the Sophomores suffered pangs of jealousy at our class spirit. We elected John Heiser, president; Agnes Leo Rieger, vice-president; and Guy Crook, secretary and treasurer. Well on in ’29, with a few more creases in our gray matter, we returned to continue our search for knowledge. We elected Agnes Leo Rieger, president; Bob Greenwald, vice-president; and Marie Clark, secretary and treasurer. We duly initiated the freshmen into the curriculum of their superiors. In the last of the school year, we provided the flowers and ushers for the Commencement Exercises. Sixty-eight valiant remnants of the glorious one hundred returned to face the onslaught of teachers and text-books. The class officers were Bud Maust, president; Marie Clark, vice-president; Agnes Leo Rieger, secretary; and Guy Crook, treasurer. As Juniors, we held our own in football. We were supported by Castle, Margrave, Griffis, Maust, Mosiman, Greenwald, and Clark, all of whom received their letters. In basket-ball, we were represented by Clark and Castle. The Juniors were fortunate in having the high school cheer leaders from their class. A lively school spirit was maintained throughout the year by the enthusiasm of Agnes Leo Rieger and Fred Graham. The Juniors were very active in music. In the operetta cast we were represented by Donna Jean Eubanks, Frederick Graham, and Theodore Culver while the choruses were composed mainly of Juniors. Moreover they showed a hearty co-operation in helping to win the laurels at the M-I-N-K Contest. The string quartet—Jean Young, Georgianna Brenner, Evelyn Wiltse and Robert Wilson—won first, Georgianna’s viola solo won third, Evelyn’s cello solo won second, Frederick Graham’s tenor solo won fourth and a play in which Agnes Leo Rieger received honorable mention for outstanding ability in dramatics, won first. “Tons of Money”, the class play, was successfully presented on February 20. We selected a modernistic design for our class rings and pins which were to serve as a reminder of our high school days. On May 9 we topped an enjoyable year by giving a farewell banquet to the Seniors at the “Weaver”. We thank our sponsors, Miss Davis and Mr. Hatch for their capable guidance. We feel that had it not been for their ideas and co-operation we would not have been so successful. M. B. and M. C.

Class History Successfully weathering the trying ordeals of the freshman year, we entered our new classes as Sophomores. Lordly attitudes were assumed and we controlled the Freshmen as only Sophomores can. Our abilities may well be shown by the representatives in football, basketball and the M. I. N. K. contest.

Class History At 4 o’clock on the afternoon of Thursday, September 25, 1930, the Freshman Class met in the Study Hall fer the purpose of electing class officers. After the meeting had been called to order by the sponsors, Mrs. DeWald and Mr. Cummins, the chairman of the nominating committee took charge. The names of the nominees were given to the class, and after the votes were counted the successful ones were found to be: president, Zada Andrews; vice-president, Margaret Steinbrink; secretary and treasurer, Ruth McComber.

As there was no further business the meeting was adjourned. In the High School Orchestra there are five freshmen. Owing to the large class (on September 31 there were 131 freshmen) an entertainment for the class was decided to be out of the question. However, next year, as Sophomores, we hope for something in the way of entertainment. Z. A. Page Thirty-three Orange and Black 'Tis with joyful song we greet thee, Oh, school to us so dear, As with classmates we assemble With words of right good cheer. We would own our priceless treasurer, Nor honor shall thou lack, While we stand forever faithful To the Orange and the Black. Through the four long years we labor ’Mid the scenes we love so well, And the mystic charms of knowledge We vainly seek to spell. When we strive to win the victory In Basketball or Track, ’Tis the High School we would honor And the Orange and the Black. When the cares of life o’ertake us, Mingling fast our locks with gray, And our fondest hopes betray us False fortunes fade away. Then we’ll banish care and sadness And we’ll turn our memories back To the High School of Falls City And the Orange and the Black. Orange and Black! Orange and Black! Biff, Boom, Bah! Falls City High School, Rah! Rah! Rah! Athletics Page Thirty five LANG Captain—End Lang, playing his last year of football for Falls City High School displayed a fine brand of football. In backing up the line, which was his position on defense, he was hard to beat. Very seldom did anyone get through the line without being tackled by him. He was the best punter on the team and certainly had a very well educated toe. He was also a good line plunger, being called back from the line on numerous occasions to smash the line. As captain of the 1931 Tigers, he was an excellent leader of the team, a fine clean sport, and well liked by his team mates. BROWN Coach Coach Brown has put out some real teams during his coaching at the Falls City High School. Although the team lost four of the games this season, it was one of the best Falls City has ever had. Brown put out teams that were clean and hard-fighting. He always tried his best to make the team play the game that it was capable of playing. He was well liked by all the players and there was not one who would not play his best for him, as was shown in the game with Hiawatha. Jug always wanted to see the team work as he thought it was capable of doing, and he said he got his wish granted in this Thanksgiving game. MOSIMAN Captain-Elect—G uard This was Mosiman’s second year of football. On offense he played guard, and he did a very good job running interference. He could always be depended upon to open a hole when playing on the offense. He played end on offense, and the long-gains on end runs and off-tackle smashes on his side of the line were few and far between. Because of his ability as a player, and because of his good sportsmanship and hard-fighting qualities, he was elected to lead the team next year. We know he will make as good a leader as Lang did, and we hope that he, also, will have a winning team of which to be at the head. Page Thirly-f Allen ............................—................End Allen was the boy who always kicked off for the team. He was also an excellent pass snagger. He always took his man in playing offense and he certainly stopped the off-tackle smashes on defense. His loss will be felt keenly next year. Bryson -.............—.......................T ackle Bryson was a clean, hard fighting man. He was a good offense player, opening many holes for his team mates. The Tiger squad expects much from him during the next two years. Castle .........................................G uard Although this was his first year on the squad. Perry showed real fight and filled his position well. On defense he played end and few big gains were made around his end. Much is expected of him next year. Clark ......-............................. Guard Although he did not see much service, Clark was always dependable as a substitute. He was a clean, hard fighting player, making many nice holes and good tackles. We expect him to hold a regular berth on the team next year. Grant ........................ -............. Halfback Much fun was had with Bob because of his bow legs. But his legs did not keep him from becoming a good football player. Grant was good on off-tackle smashes and line plunges, and he will be greatly missed next year in these plays. Greenwald ...................—.......... -.....Center Bob proved that a smile can make a ball go as far as a frown. He was a very accurate passer. He was good on both the offensive and defensive, and played guard on several occasions. We expect much from him as a regular next year. Griffis .................. -......—.........Center Griffis was an excellent passer and also played a great defensive game. Gains were seldom made through him. We are glad that he has another year with us, and we know he will play the games with as much fight as he did this year. King ____________-.......................... Halfback King, a boy from Topeka, showed of what the Kansas boys are made. He was a great player, both on defense and on offense. In the Tecumseh game his knee was badly hurt, but he showed his spirit and was back in the game when we played Hiawatha. We lose a good player when we lose him. Margrave ........-......-...-...-..-..........Fullback Margrave played both halfback and fullback. He was a good line plunger and often made gains just when we needed them. He was a good defensive player, and backed up the line well. He was also a passer of no small ability. We expect very much from him next year. Maust ...................................... Tackle Maust, although small, stopped the biggest ones when he hit them. He always opened holes on offense, and seldom did he miss a tackle on defense. He was well liked and will be back again next year. We hope he will still have his great fighting spirit. Page Th'irty-seven Sauer .............................................Tackle Sauer did not have any definite position on the team, but was relied upon to take almost any in case a substitute was needed. He was a very good defensive player and will be greatly missed next year. SCHOBER ............................... Quarterback Although Schober did not see much service, he could always be relied upon to do his stuff when sent into the game. He knew how to mix his plays, and no doubt he would make a real quarterback if he were back, but he isn’t. Waller ..........................Fullback Waller was the best line plunger on the team. He was fast and heavy, and caused the opposing teams much worry. He was a great offensive and defensive player, and was a good tackier. We wish Eddie were going to be with us next year. Yoder ........................................Quarterback “Doc” used his head when calling plays in the game. Even if the team was behind, he would keep cool-headed and call the plays reasonably. “Doc” was well liked by the whole team. We hope he will be replaced next year by someone as reliable as he was. Kessler ....................................... Manager Kessler proved to be a very efficient manager. He was well liked by all the squad, and he was always willing to help them in any way possible. He was just like one of the players, feeling as badly about losing a game as one of them. We wish he were going to be manager next year.

Although Auburn was completely outclassed in the way of playing straight football, they held us to a 14-13 victory by their trick plays and passes. Most of the Tigers received their first taste of real football in this game. Our second game, October 10, was with Plattsmouth on the Falls City gridiron. Plattsmouth did not provide much opposition for the Orangemen and we beat them 32-0. Although the team looked much better than in their first game, there was still plenty of room for improvement. The next game, October 17, with Peru, was the second shut-out game for the Tigers. Although the Peru team showed much fight throughout the game, they were unable to cross the goal line once. The final score was Falls City 39, Peru 0. The Falls City second team was put in during the last few minutes of the second and fourth quarters. The foutth game, October 24, at Tecumseh, was perhaps the most exciting game of the season. Besides beating Tecumseh in 1929 with a score of 7-6 and taking the Southeastern Nebraska Championship from them, the result of this game would practically decide which team would get the championship this year. The game was hard fought with neither team scoring until late in the last quarter when Tecumseh went over the goal line for the only score of the game. The game ended with the score: Tecumseh 6, Falls City 0. The game on October 31 was with Omaha Central at Falls City. This was the first time we had ever played this team and the game was looked forward to as one of the biggest of the season. Although the two teams played on even terms throughout the game, Omaha won by a single touchdown, the final score being Omaha 6, Falls City 0. Pawnee was our next foe. This game was played on Falls City gridiron, November 7. Pawnee has always had a tough team and this year it proved equally tough. The game was hard fought with both teams playing about equally, but when the final score was added Falls City had the short end of a 7-6 score. Through this defeat Falls City was definitely out of the championship race. On November 14 the Tigers went to Nebraska City. For some reason we could not hit our stride and when the final whistle ended the game, we again had the short end of a 12-6 score. The game on November 21 gave the second team a chance to show whr.t they could do. This game was between the Falls City Reserves and Salem. The two teams battled on equal terms throughout the game but at the end of the game the Falls City Reserves had the one point advantage of a 7-6 score. November 25 we met our annual fee, Hiawatha, on our own gridiron. Due to the results of the last four games, our chances of winning this game looked very small, especially at the end of the first half when we were trailing by a 13-2 score. Nevertheless we did not give up and when the final whistle blew we were ahead 21-13. Page Thirty-nine Basketball Mr. Brown, coach; Bullock, forward; Kessler, manager; Schober, forward; Clark, guard.

This game was hard fought and was not decided until the final whistle blew. The game was a low score game, but it was interesting, due to the determination of each team to win. We were ahead, 8-7, with only 15 seconds to play, but Sabetha scored twice in this time, and won by a score of 11-8. Our next fee was Nebraska City, this game also being played on our own floor. The game was uninteresting and was marked by many fouls. Both teams seemed unable to hit their strides; therefore, few goals were made. In spite of the poor playing, however, Falls City was victorious, winning the game by a 14-7 score. We played the next game with Humboldt, at Humboldt. The Orange and Black team showed much improvement in their playing and never once let Humboldt take the lead. We made more points in this game than in both the previous games put together, and won by a score of 31-15. The fourth game, with Hiawatha, was a hard fought game marked by high scores on both sides. Neither team gave up its chance of winning until the final whistle blew. The Orangemen showed still more improvement in their playing and were again successful. The final score was 26-21. Dawson was our next foe. The fact that Dawson has always had a good team made us determined to win. We showed plenty of pep and fight, and had the Dawson team guessing throughout the game. When the final whistle blew, we were ahead with twenty points to Dawson’s 11. Pawnee was the next in line to try to beat us. This game was fought on even terms, and the outcome was doubtful. However, we upheld our winning streak by defeating this team with a score of 14-12. This was the fifth successive game that we had won. The next game was with Auburn, at Auburn. It was marked by poor playing on the part of both teams, and it was also a low score game. The Falls City team made only one field goal and six free throws, and when the final whistle blew, we had the short end of an 18-8 score. This was our second defeat. In the next game we again played the Dawson team. We had already defeated them once this season by a 20-11 score, but they proved to be a tougher team this time. The game was hard fought and well played by both teams, but we again took the bigger count, winning by a score of 29-25. The next game was with Auburn in our own gym. Because we had lost to them once this season, we were determined to win this time. Both teams fought hard for the victory and the score was always close. We fought hard but they fought harder and defeated us by a lone point, the final score being: Auburn 19, Falls City 18. Peru was our next and last foe. Peru went in the game determined to win, because victory would secure the Southeastern Nebraska Championship for her. Although Falls City’s second team played nearly half the game, die score was close, and Peru won by a single point only. The score was, Peru 17, Falls City 16.

The Girls’ Athletic Asscciatien of Falls City High School is now a member of the Nebraska State League. The League standardizes girls’ athletics in the state of Nebraska. Inter-school competition is not permitted and participation is entirely on a point basis. The first and second award which a girl earns under this standard point system is her own high school letter. The third and fourth awards are state awards. REQUIREMENTS FOR AWARDS 1. A passing grade in three Academic subjects during the semester the award is petitioned for. 2. A good record in Sportsmanship. 3. Pass the Bancroft Vertical Line Posture Test. 4. Eight Consecutive Weeks of training must be kept during the earning of the award. 5. Have a heart examination during each school year of the earning cf the award. 6. Participate in at least eight weeks of some team activity. The object of the Girls’ Athletic Association is to encourage active participation in organized and unorganized activities and to promote ideals of health ar.d sportsmanship. G. A. A. has charge of concessions at Fcotball ar.d Basketball games and all money for defraying expenses of the association is earned by the girls. Under organized activities we have included work in Danish gymnastics, corrective work, soccer, hockey, basket-ball, baseball, archery, and volley-ball. Special emphasis has been placed on rythm training, folk dancing, interpretive rythm, and adaptive response to music and tap-dancing. Page Forty-tvo Physical Education Physical Education is no longer considered as merely a means to one end—Health— but rather as a series of educational activities involving the development of the individual into a better and more useful member of society. Health is not only valuable as an end in itself but as the means of achieving the best of which the individual as capable. Instead of developing a small number of “athletes,” more attention is paid to the average girl, and the program so planned that certain habits and skills, conducive to an all around development will “carry over” into later life. Recreational activities are emphasized which will train for better use of leisure time, the present problem of “civilized efficiency”. Recreation should be enjoyed for its own sake and team play is supeiior in that it requires give and take; a matching of wits; a feeling of rivalry; and at the same time Championship. Points are also given for the unorganized activities or the ones carried on outside of the school program. Hiking, roller skating, bicycle riding ,horse-back riding, tennis, and golf. Each girl has the opportunity of earning two hundred points in unorganized activities during the summer months. Plans are now being made for the sponsoring of a “Play Day” by the local G. A. A. This event will probably include girls from other towns as well as girls who are not members of the organization. We shall hope to realize our aim “Play for Play’s sake and Play for All”. D. J. Langdon. Track The 1931 Track seascn get under way so late that no write-up could be obtained for the Annual. However, we are sure we voice the sentiment of the entire school when we say that we hope the Track seascn will be as all around successful as the Football and Basketball seasons.

The Boys’ Glee Club, the Girls’ Glee Club, and the Mixed Chorus under the leadership of the Music Supervisor, Miss Ruth Cochrane, prepared for the M. I. N. K. Contest at Peru, and placed in each event. All of these songsters organizations have participated in school activities, giving programs for convocation, while the Girls’ Glee Club appeared on the “Better Music Week” program at the local Rotary Club, and also at the Baccalaureate Service for the Seniors at the local High School.

The Orange and Black Orchestra has had its share in almost every school activity during the year and in addition, has assisted in the programs of other local organizations. The Orchestra received first place in the M. I. N. K. Contest at Peru and second place at the District Contest at Omaha. In addition, it has appeared regularly on the programs for convocation at the Senior High School as well as at the Junior High programs. The Merchant’s Carnival and Style Show called on the High School Orchestra for its services which were gladly rendered for the benefit of the community. In addition, the orchestra has had special programs at both the Christian and Baptist Churches. The Junior Play and Senior Play both called upon the Orchestra for the music which was gladly furnished and the Orange and Black Orchestra also furnished the music for the Baccalaureate Services for the Senior Class as well as for the regular Commencement Exercises. All in all, the Orchestra has proved itself to be one of the most important parts of the Music Department of the Falls City High School during the school year of 1930-1931. J. Y. Page Forty nine Operetta “PICKLES” or “IN OLD VIENNA” presented at High School Auditorium, December 18, 1930 The Plot Vienna has always been a popular tourist resort, but to Lady Vivian Delaney it had a special meaning. Many years ago, while traveling in Austria, she had lost her husband and baby daughter in a train wreck. The baby’s body had never been found. Lady Vivian could not be convinced that the child was dead, so each year she returned to search for her. This year a gypsy band led by Jigo reached Vienna at the time of her annual visit. With the aid of a group of American friends, Lady Vivian located her daughter in Illano, a gypsy girl. The Cast Hans Maier Louisa...„.......... Captain Kinsky Bum ski.............

Music and Dramatic Contest was held at Peru, Nebraska, on February 6 and 7. F. C H S. was represented by a group of approximately 70 students who had been thoroughly coached by our efficient instructors, Miss Cochrane and Miss Wakelin. For the first time F. C. H. S. entered contestants in practically all of the events, including the larger vocal and instrumental groups, such as the boys’, girls’ and mixed choruses and the orchestra as well as the solo events. Apparently it was the aim of each of the numerous other schools entered to make a sincere effort for first place, as 900 students representing 40 towns were present and consequently made the competition much keener than in former years. The first day of the event, February 6, proved somewhat disappointing to our vocal solo group which had been so successful the preceding year, but was quite encouraging to the instrumental and dramatic groups. None of the vocalists placed but the following upheld our honors: the string quartet gained an encouraging first; Evelyn Wiltse, cello, second; James Cameron, piano, second; John Gehling, a reading, second; Georgianna Brenner, viola, third. The less fortunate soloists were: Donna Jean Eubanks, soprano; Lucile Mayfield, contralto; Fred Graham, tenor; William Fisher, baritone; Robert Wilson, violin; and Roy Lively, clarinet. The Orange and Black had 17 points to their credit at the end of this first day but the larger groups on the following day would decide the winner. On the second day of the contest, February 7, F. C. H. S. proved its superiority in the larger events and consequently gained a well-earned victory in Class A by a large margin. The orchestra and the one-act play, “Pietette’s Heart”, with James Cameron, Agnes Leo Rieger, and Chevalier Crandall as the cast, won first place. These were truly high spots of the contest for each gained 15 points to add to our ever-increasing total. The mixed chorus placed second, the boys’ glee club third, and the girls’ glee club third. This constituted the day’s work and it was well done by F. C. H. S. for she didn’t enter an event without placing. That evening a beautiful silver loving cup and three banners, as well as numerous medals, were the proud possessions of our high school as “the tiger” returned victoriously. This should not only be regarded as a victory for F. C. H. S. but also as one for the furthering and bettering of interpretive music in the schools and communities of the area represented. It shows more clearly thcs value and necessity of music in our lives and what a constructive element it is to our future success in an occupation. It not only broadens the student’s talents and ability in the world of art and conversation but it gives him that essential characteristic of having the ability to appear before the public gracefully and easily. This contest is in every sense a true builder of mind and character ar.d it is the duty of the music and dramatic groups of 1932 and 1933 to uphold the honors of this school by insuring the possession of the cup as it is only done by three consecutive triumphs. F. G. Pag: Fifty-four DISTRICT MUSIC CONTEST Five out of the eight entries in the District Music Contest held at Omaha on April 16th and 17th secured a place. The Stringed Quartet consisting of Jean Young, Evelyn Wiltse, Georgianna Brenner, and Robert Wilson was given second place and the Falls City High School Orchestra was given second place. Evelyn Wiltse received second place in ‘cello, Georgianna Brenner was awarded second place in viola, and Donna Jean Eubanks third place as soprano. The quartet was made eligible for the State Contest, it being the only local entry in the District Contest, which was awarded this opportunity. It was particularly gratifying that the Orange and Black received such recognition, since this was the first year that any group events from Falls City have been entered in the District Music Contest. The Contest was held at the Benson High School on April 16th and at the South Omaha High School on April 17th. There were many solo entries representing the Orange and Black. Among them were: James Cameron, piano, Jean Young, violin; Evelyn Wiltse, ’cello; Georgianna Brenner, viola; Frederick Graham, baritone; and Donna Jean Eubanks, soprano. J- Y. DISTRICT COMMERCIAL CONTEST The 1931 District Commercial Contest was held at the high school at Humboldt, Nebraska, Friday, April 3rd. In the forenoon, typewriting, bookkeeping and spelling tests were given. All shorthand tests were given in the afternoon. Transcriptions and typewriting tests were given in the gymnasium. — The contest was won by Auburn, with a total of 65 points, Nebraska City ranked second with 54 points and Falls City placed third with 29 points.

The Richardson County Junior Fair is an annual project sponsored by the Vocational Agriculture and Home Economics Departments of the Falls City High School and the grade schools of the county. The purpose of this Fair is to bring together with more common interests the Juniors of the County. This activity arouses more enthusiasm and interest in the students toward their homes and their parents’ occupations, but above all toward the education and training they are receiving in school. The parents of the students come to the Fairs and see the wotk done by the two departments. New interest is created in them and they realize the value of such training. For the last five years there has been a Junior Fair which has been made very successful by the contributions of the schools of Richardson County . The officers are elected every year; those chosen must take an active part in the association. The election takes place the last week of October. O. F.

Page Sixty-eight Miss Wakelin: “How would you punc- tuate the sentence: ‘A pretty girl walking down the street turned the corner just as I saw her’?” Don Thomas: “I would make a dash after her.” Father: (From top of stairs): “Say, Bethyl, is it midnight yet?” Bethyl: “Yes, papa.” Father: “Well, give the young man my compliments and ask him to kindly close the door from the outside.” A circle is a line which meets its other end without ending. Miss Wagoner: “How is it that you have written only ten lines on “Milk” and the others have written pages?” Sam Cummins: “I wrote on ‘Condensed Milk’.” Craig Greenwald: “I have a thirst for knowledge.” Don Lang: “So have I if its spiked.” Flapper: “Don’t you speak to him any more?” Ditto: “No, whenever I pass him I give him the geological survey.” Flapper: “Geological survey?” Ditto: “Yes, that’s what is commonly known as the stony stare.” “A blue eyed man is always henpecked. Better watch out, Bill Crook.” I had a girl named Nina, Her father’s name was Clok. And so, whene’er I had a date, It was for Nina Clok. Miss Wakelin: “What book has had the most influence on you?” Bill Crook: “Father’s check book.” E. Camblin: “Miss Ickman wants a can of floor wax.” Clerk: “I’m sorry, but we have nothing but sealing-wax.” E. C.: “Don’t try to get smart with me. Why should anyone want to wax a ceiling?” An apple caused the first downfall of man but peaches have handled the business since that time. Edward Holland: “Yes, I’m a thought- reader. I can tell exactly what a person is thinking.” Mr. Cummins: “In that case, I beg your pardon.” Teacher: “Define iceberg.” Loraine Smith: “An iceberg is a kind of a permanent wave.” Ruth Weaver: “You sure think you are good looking, don’t you?” Margrave: “Well, no, but what is my opinion against that of hundreds of women?” I Gib: “These potatoes are only half done.” Lillian: “Well, eat the half that is done, dear.” Page Sixty-nine Nimrod was a hunter bold Who roamed the hills in the days of old, And Daniel won the respect of men For bravery shown in the lion’s den. And the men who trapped for Hudson Bay And good Marquette and Joliet And Daniel Boone, with his coon skin cap, All loved the wilds and the hunters’ trap. Alas! These men are here no more; But I can name you hunters four Who roam the woods in the dead of night When the wind is still and the moon is bright The squirrel scampers from his nest And the rabbit is disturbed from rest And a wise old owl in a tree, hard by, Shrieks out his warning to the sky And boldly asks the long hours through, “Who are these hunters, who, who, who?” The leader said in a modest key, “From the Halls of Learning forth came we To try our luck with dogs and gun. We hope to have a little fun, And by the light of yonder moon Perhaps a ’possum or a coon Will dare to cross our homeward track And we to town can take him back. Page Seventy I am Gelwick, as you see; I helped to make the Nations free. This man, at my strong right hand, Is Starkebaum, you understand. These other two are Smith and Brown, Both widely known about the town. We are all athletes, yes all four, Have played upon the gym’s lined floor, Have bounced and thrown and shot the ball Into the baskets on the wall. We’ve chased the pig skin down the field And played with zest that would not yield. We’ve made our bow before the crowd Who cheered in accents hoarse and loud. But now we seek a different fame; We are hunting for a little game; We seek Diana’s favor, bright, To help us on our hunt tonight.” Diana must have helped the four, For ’ere the night to morning wore A baby ’possum, plump and round, Was lying wounded on the ground. They brought it home with mirth and glee For all their teacher friends to see, And, though it was against the rule, The teachers ate it after school. Mrs. Dewald. Page Seventy-one All tired out.

Who Said It First? “Never say die”—Methuselah. “Be yourself”—Pricilla to John. “I hope you choke”—Jonah. “All aboard”—Noah. “Home, Sweet Home”—Babe Ruth. “Step on it”—Sir Walter Raleigh. “I’m strong for the kid”—Samson. “The bigger they come the harder they fall”—David. “So this is Paris”—Helen of Troy. “I don’t know where I’m going, but I know I’m on my way”—C. Columbus. “You can’t keep a good man down”— Jonah. “When do we eat?”—Kessler. Miss Myers: “What is a ten-sided figure?” M. Gillispie: “A dead Parrot.” Miss Myers: “A what?” M. G.: “A Polly gone.” Miss Davis: “Erwin, where was the Declaration of Independence signed?” Harkey: “At the bottom, I guess.” Mr. Boswell: “What is the most outstanding contribution Chemistry has given to the world?” Perry C.: “Blondes.” His Honor: “Get the prisoner’s name so we can tell his mother.” Rooky: “He says his mother already knows his name.” Helen Rhoads: “Have you ever read ‘To a Mouse’?” Helen Ruth: “Why, no. How do you get them to listen?” Fisher: “Do you do repairing here?” Garage Owner: “Yeah, but we don’t do manufacturing.” Jack Shock:“There are several things I can always count on.” Jimmie Stumbo: “What are they?” Jack: “My fingers.” The only thing that comes to him who waits is whiskers. Shy Young Thing: “Do you know what they call small grey cats in Canada?” Great Brute Man: “No.” S. Y. T.: “Kittens.” Sympson: “Wise men hesitate; fools are certain.” Delmar L.: “Are you sure?” Sympson: “I am certain.” Bud: “When I dance with you, I feel as though I were treading on clouds.” Dud: “Don’t kid yourself, those are my feet.” 1 John Heiser: “At last I’ve discovered what they do with the holes in doughnuts.” Fred Davis: “Aw.” John: “They use them to stuff maca- roni.” Meinzer: “Say, what part of the body is the fray?” Miss Jorn: “Fray? What are you talk- ing about?” Meinzer: “This book says Ivanhoe was wounded in the fray.” A toothpaste that removes the film from the teeth may be alright, but what we need is a hair oil that will remove the fog from the brain.” Cummins: “Will you please follow the work on the board.” John Davis: “Where is it going?” In an old-fashioned courtship they used to turn down the gas; in the new-fashioned one they step on it. Miss Shook: “Now, Kenneth, what happened when the cow jumped over the moon?” Wiar: “Somebody got an idea for van- ishing cream.” Cameron: “After I’d sung my encore I heard a gentleman from one of the papers call out, ‘Fine! Fine!’ ” Grace M.: “Dear me, and did you have to pay it?” Teacher: “Quote a scripture verse.” Geo. Clark: “Judas went out into the garden and hanged himself.” “Fine! Quote another.” Clark: “‘Go ye and do likewise.’” Senior: “Say, Adam, I hear you failed in that English Composition. Is that true?” Lippold: “Yeah, Miss Wakelin asked us to write an essay on the “Result of Laziness” and I sent up a blank sheet of paper.” Craig: “What’s the difference between a Ford and a Lincoln?” Lucille: “Oh, I’m not a mechanic; I don’t know.” Craig: “Good, how about a date to- night?” ( Ev: “Do you think kissing is as danger- ous as they say?” Jo: “Well, it has put an end to a good many bachelors.” I Teacher: “This is the third time you have looked on Smith’s paper.” Freshie: “Yes, sir. I’m seeing that he gets my answers copied down correctly.” Georgianna: “Did you read about the man who swallowed his spoon?” Marie C.: “No; what happened to him?” Georgianna: “He can’t stir.” We’ve heard it said that a girl who laughs with her teeth closed is a flirt.
