It is here that a constantly increasing proportion of our young people receive their final training for the social duties and opportunities that await them. The value of education and its contribution to the development of our democracy, is found in the initiative of the individual and his acceptance of responsibility. My congratulations to the Class of 1937 upon their successful completion of their high school course. May success follow you in your life vocations. —A. B. GELWICK. A. B. GELWICK. Superintendent A.

We, the class of 1937, entered the high school in September, 1933, with 130 members, one of the six largest classes in the history of our high school. Under the sponsorship of Miss Brecht and Mr. Boswell we elected the following class officers: James Cain, president; Mildred Heck, vice-president; Grace Allsman, secretary and treasurer. James Grant, winning his basket ball letter, brought the Freshman class into prominence in the school life. At the beginning of our sophomore year, 1934, we elected class officers as follows: James Grant, president; John Falter, vice-president; Tom Davies, secretary and treasurer. The sophomore class continues to play an important part in the school sports, Frank Elam winning his football letter and James Grant both his football and basket ball awards. Miss Betz, taking the place of Miss Brecht, became class sponsor with Mr. Boswell, and under their guidance we decorated the auditorium for Baccalaureate services and commencement exercises. Returning in the fall of 1935 quite to resume our activities in our school life. We elected the following class officers: James Cain, president; Frank Elam, vice-president; John Falter, secretary and treasurer. Early in the year we selected class rings and pins. During the year, several members of the class took part in a series of one-act plays and in the operetta. The cast of the Junior Play, “The Boomerang,” including Tom Davies, Ruth Faucett, Jim Cain, Emagene Foster, Roy Eaton, Betty Jane Burg-ner, Robert Goldsmith, Charlotte Prather, Clarence Pruett, June Macomber, Lillibeth Slagel, Frank Elam, Mary Davis, John Falter, Ethel Lee Burdick, Audrey Culver, Lloyd Walraff, and Mildred Heck. The all-important social event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet, was given by our class in honor of the seniors. Football letters were awarded to Frank Elam and Don Jones. Basket ball letters were awarded to John Falter, captain-elect, and Frank Elam. In the last year of our high school career, we elected Robert Goldsmith, president; Tom Davies, vice-president, and Mary Davis, treasurer. Having secured the permission to publish an annual, we selected the following staff: Charlotte Prather, Ruth Faucett, Emagene Foster, Tom Davies, Robert Gold- smith, Mildred Heck, Mary Davis, Jim Cain, Charmian Bloom, John Falter, Clarence Simon. A one-act play under the direction of Miss Wakelin and an operetta under the direction of Miss Cochrane were given. We wish to thank the faculty and our sponsors for their guidance and help during our school life. 1 9 ,ui mi mi a. mi mi all all u.

LILLIBETH SLAGLE. 9 3 FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL Prophecy A time machine has been invented by ETHEL LEE BURDICK and ROBERT GOLDSMITH. They have made several successful trials and have compiled a report of their expeditions into the year 1952. Their report follows: We stepped off of the machine, and a cab stopped beside us. We were surprised to note, as we entered the car, that the driver was none other than MILTON FIENE. He drove us to the Valintine, a mammoth hotel in the heart of the business district of Falls City. Our cab was met by HAROLD WEDDLE, the doorman. He showed us into the lobby of the hotel, where we were greeted by the desk clerk, CLAUDE CLAUS. When we applied for rooms, he informed us that there were none, since the annual Fireman’s Ball was being held with ROBERT GODFIRNON as fire chief. We became angered at being refused a room by our schoolmate, so we asked to see the manager. We found, upon his arrival, that it was none other than KEITH VOLLIN-TINE. He recognized us, and made arrangements for us to have two of the finest suites in the hotel. He called a couple of bellboys whom we immediately saw to be PHILLIP WATSON and IRVIN GATES. The elevator boy, RAYMOND SNOW, took us to the 45th floor. There we met CHARM IAN BLOOM, who had just returned from the beauty parlor at the east end of the hall, operated by LILLIAN HAHN and ISABEL SALY. She told us that she had to catch a plane for Boston, where she was to be co-starred with JOHN PEARSON in grand opera. She added, as a side note, that EVELYN MORRIS was the air hostess, and GEORGE WEBER the pilot on the plane in which she was to travel. We were served dinner by RALPH ElCKHOFF, who told us that the cooks at the hotel were MARY McMANUS and RUTH HERBSTER. We listened to the music of VANCE RAMSEY and his Rioteers. We also noticed that the lad at the drums was ROY EATON, while LILLI BETH SLABLE was busy tuning her big bass. MILDRED HECK was at the piano. The featured singers were VIRGINIA BELL and AUDREY CULVER. Dancing was furnished by the teams of GRACE ALLSMAN and ROBERT KIMMEL, and TOM JOHNSON and ELIZABETH YOESEL. The next morning we rented an electrically operated streamlined car from WALTER ZIMMERMAN and traveled down Main Street on a sight-seeing tour. Sud-denl we were hailed by a policeman, LEO ZICKLER, who informed us that we were driving too slow. He threatened to take us to the chief-of-police who, he told us, was DALE PRATHER. After a little argument he let us go on. We turned on the radio and listened to part of a three-hour speech by CLARENCE SIMON, who was running for President on the Democratic ticket, with JOHN WILSON as his Vice-President. His opponents were TOM DAVIES and JAMES CAIN. Leaving our car, we entered a large department store owned by FLORETTA PALMER and WILDA VICE. We found that we knew three of the clerks—HELEN POOL, IRENE BAHR. and ILENE BAUMAN. In the office we found VELMA OBERST as stenographer and ANNABELLE GERWICK as typist. As we came out of the store, we saw EDWARD LOVICK standing beside his telescope selling looks at the moon for a nickle per look. Near him stood LELAND PARRIS selling tickets for an excursion to the moon in his new Rocket. 19 3 7 ' � V V ’v « � A uxx it u i it t r virTa y ?i ir? if irT yTifcAifT AyT if ? FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL We went to an afternoon showing of the new 1952 “Zigzag Follies,” starring ELAINE FITZPATRICK and FRANK LUCAS, with URSULA VOLTMER, EUTIVA TOWNSEND, and HELEN RUTH KRATZ. The ticket seller, JUNE MACOMBER, told us that she was sold out, so we had to buy our tickets from the “scalper,” DON JONES. After the show we walked into the corner drug store where MARION WISE fixed us a couple of drinks. CHARLOTTE PRATHFR brought them over to our table. While at dinner at Miss Stouffer’s Bungalow, operated by BETTY JEAN STOUF-FER, we noticed in the paper edited by HAZEL TAYLOR and IONE WAMSLEY that GARNET ZICKLER and HELEN WADDELD were to take a trip to South American. We also saw that BETTY STETLER and IDA JONES were entertaining in their social circle. They were having as guests ARLENE MEINHEIT and LOMA WAGNER, who had just returned from abroad. That evening we attended a prize fight between CHARLES GIANNINI and JAMES HEISER, with EARL RIEGER as referee. The next morning we went to the library to get a book. To our surprise we found BEATRICE SCOTT as lizbarian. We selected the book, “Essay on Criticism” by MARY DAVIS. Later we went for a ride in the country where we chanced upon a Republican gathering at which BETTY JANE BURGNER was serving buttermilk to all the loyal Republicans. A little farther down the road we passed on Old Maid’s Home owned and operated by EMAGENE FOSTER. We noticed GILBERT DODDS slipping out of the side door. Going on, we came upon a little country school house, and stopping to get a drink, we discovered ELEANOR BROWN a steacher of the third grade, and ROBERTA BAITEY teaching the fourth. As we were returning to the city, we saw a wreck. Upon investigating we found that the driver of one of the cars was ROLAND PERCIVAL $nd with him was GLEN TUBACH. In the other car had been JUNE APPLE, the driver, MILDRED FRITZ and DOLORES GRIFFIS. The ambulance had just come up with LLOYD WALL-RAFF driving, and RUTH FAUCETT as head nurse. After learning that the accident was not serious, we went on into town. We passed the postoffice where FRANK ELAM was postmaster, and we went on to the radio station. LLOYD MEINHEIT was the announcer broadcasting the children’s hour directed by ALVINA LAST “This program is coming to you through the courtesy of RUTH HUEBNER and MIRIAM BOYD, makers of the world's finest perfume.” Following this was a program featuring the songs of JOHN FALTER. We were walking down a boulevard when we recognized HAROLD HARTMAN who was painting a huge billboard. We talked with him for awhile, and he told us that CARL HUBER had been sent as the Foreign Minister to Siberia. We glanced up and saw that the sign was advertising a play under the sponsorship of PATRICIA MINSHALL and MARJORIE BRECHT for the benefit of the milk fund. We decided that we had better be getting back to 1937 and were going toward our time machine when we looked across the street and saw a small antique shop operated by ORVIL v, FRANZEN. Crossing to see what antiques he possessed, we found HERBERT • SMALLWOOD lying asleep in the window. Satisfied with the present we stepper back into the time machine. ETHEL LEE BURDICK ROBERT GOLDSMITH FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL The Senior’s Regret (A parody on Tennyson’s “Break, Break, Break”) Break, break, break Oh, the hearts of the Seniors are sad! Brimming eyes, the silent tongues betray us. For we thought that we'd be glad. ’Tis well for the Freshies and Sophs That they shout for their school days to end; For Juniors to covet our place And be glad when we leave it for them! Dear Old School, you’ll carry on So that knowledge others may gain; But oh, tho' ’tis sweet, we’re bewildered and sad. In your heart we now beg to remain. Break, break, break? NO—steadfast will friendships be! And the tender mcm'rics of days in old High Will ever come back to me. —LILLI BETH SLAGLE.

K'AIL il- Class of ’38 In the fall of 1934 this class transferred its membership from F. C. J. H. to F. C. H. S. At the beginning of its high school career, the class elected Paul Green-wald. president; Robert Matthews, vice-president; Jane Ann Lake, secretary; Jack Colglazier, treasurer. These under-classmcn proved to the school, that, although they were “Freshies,” they were very useful to the football team by giving to Coach Brown, our small but mighty “Tiger” guard, Everett “Babe” Kiefer. In 1935 they entered Falls City High School proudly and with new vigor, realizing that they were now one step nearer the completion of their memorable high school career. The Sophomores elected as class officers the following: Vernon Green, president; Eugene Martin, vice-president; Elsie Wertz, secretary; Edgar Wiltse, treasurer. The class, numbering 135, was ready to take on the still greater task left them by the Juniors. “Babe” Kiefer again made his football letter. Upon entering F. C. H. S. in the fall of 1936 the Juniors elected for their class officers, the following: Don Heinzelman, president; Everett Kiefer, vice-president; Mary Elizabeth Schock, secretary; Noel Lundy, treasurer. This class successfully presented the Junior Class Play, “The Antics of Andrew,” a three-act comedy under the direction of Miss Wakelin. The cast consisted of the following: Robert Gelwick, Mary Elizabeth Schock, Jay Norris, Doris Mae Starkebaum, Don Heinzelman, Mary Frances Hysell, Harold Noah, Betty Catherine Cole, Dean Slagle, Marjorie Lou Morsman, and Billy Wing. Robert Matthews, Gordon Stump, Tom Bryson, and Everett Kiefer lettered in football. Robert Matthews, Marvin Dunn. Everett Kiefer, Paul Greenwald, and Ted Boyd were the Juniors’ conrtibution to the 1936-37 basket ball squad. With a very successful year nearing completion, they are becoming more and more prepared to take the place of the departing Seniors in the coming and final year. • 19 3 7 • S’ltithmnnrpH rtif AlJ t:f II I !

Home Economics “NOT FOR OURSELVES ALONE, BUT FOR THE GOOD OF ALL” A gradual development has taken place in home economics in order to meet changing standards of living and the needs of a developing people. From courses in cooking and sewing, which represented home economics in the good old “90’s.” we have taken uo the preparation of balanced meals and the nutrition of the family. This course also includes the selection and care of the family clothing, the planning of adequate and appropriate personal wardrobes, budgeting and buying in relation to family income, scientific home management, the use of labor-saving devices, the adaptation of rooms and furniture to family comfort and the decoration of the home. We have presented the home as the center of living. This means a consideration of family relationship, the health of the family, home care in illness, and the care of children—their physical, mental and emotional life. This year there were not as many social functions sponsored by the classes but more time was devoted to home project work, thus correlating class work and home work, as well as developing hobbies and improving the use of leisure time. a.-- avBwfra FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL TJfSWjCTi!

During this time Falls City football teams have captured the conference championship six times. His squads have been elevated from competition with nearby village teams to competition with some of the biggest and best teams of the state, who have learned to admire and respect them. Basket Ball, under his supervision, has met with equally marked success. His fine sportsmanship is shown not only in his own character, but also in that of his teams. His popularity with the student body and especially with his players is the best incitation of their well-merited admiration and appreciation. CAPTAIN-ELECT EVERETT KIEFER “Babe” is one of the best football players ever to mar the sed of the F. C. H. S. gridiron. As running guard, his mastery of football has already been demonstrated for three years and he will close his high school career with four football letters—an accomplishment very seldom equalled. Certainly, as Captain, he will be in the right place, and it is our firm conviction that next year he will lead his team through a most successful season. CAPTAIN FRANK ELAM “Gus” had gained wide experience from his former years, lettering both in Sophomore and Junior years, and, as a result, had a thorough knowledge of all phases of the game, this, coupled with his popularity among his teammates and his sincerity, made him a leader in whom the team’s trust was well placed. As he was, in addition, a very exceptional ball player, he led in practice as well as theory. A job well done.

T?A ?AVir FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL Inasmuch as only three lettermen were returning, it was with more than the usual anxiety that on September 7, Coach Brown greeted the 50 odd prospective football stars gathered round him. The first game of th' season was scheduled with Hebron, and only three weeks practice could be had before meeting this formidable team— formidable because it was a team which had, for the most part, played together for two seasons. Therefore, there was much yet to be accomplished in whipping the team into shape when the time for this initial game arrived. Although our team, inexperienced as they were, played a swell game, yet the gods were with us when we emerged victorious 6-0. Just one week later, with many of the defects shown up in the Hebron game corrected, we met Jackson, locked horns, and were thrown for 7-0 decision, though we had hopes, the defeat was not unexpected, since Jackson was one of the top notches of the state, more powerful, we found later, than the muen ballyhooed Lincoln High team. Then somewhat vengeful because of the Jackson set-back, we journeyed to Auburn—there to win our first decisive victory and to display for the first time real championship form. The game, played on a field turned quagmire, ended Falls City 20—Auburn 0. Thus our first encounter with a conference team was disposed of most satisfactorily. The next week Lincoln High, mythical state champions for two consecutive years, came down to give us the test supreme. F. C. H. S. saw itself blossoming into big time when the game, one of state-wide interest, was broadcast This game, too, saw the inauguration of the new moving picture equipment. All in all, though, it was a sad day for the host since, after a contest remarkable in all its aspects for high school football, the home team conceded a defeat of 13-0. If, before, Lady Luck accompanied us, here, certainly she failed us. Lincoln took advantage of two breaks and only on these scored her touchdowns. Nebraska City, whom we played on October 23, provided us with about as much opposition as would a paper bag. Falls City came away heavily laden with a score of 51-6. Another conference team was well taken care of. Due to teachers’ vacation, no game was played the following week. Recuperated by their little siesta, on November 6, the Tigers rather gracefully and with little ado took Pawnee to a cleaning to the extent of 21-0. Then, on November 13, off to Tecumseh, the town with the reputation of good football teams to play the team that has since badly mauled this reputation. Our fondest dreams were realized when we triumphed with the long end of a 26-0 count. This was the last of our conference games, in none of which we had had stiff competition. PWtrS ffa mt Ju U MU II UMU M FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL Falls City’s next and final trip was to the home of St. Joseph Benton. Though Falls City was high favorite, too much so, perhaps, for our own good, we had extreme difficulty in overcoming the many obstacles (heat, officials, dust, and opposing team) and ending on top. The final whistle saw the score at 7-6, our advantage, the winning touchdown and point being made in the closing moments of the game. This Benton game was destined to be our last. The traditional Thanksgiving game between Falls City and Hiawatha was not held for the first time in 22 years, called off because of a scarlet fever epidemic. A brief resume of the season will produce a record of accomplishments by the squad of ’36 which will be a source of pride to all students. The Tigers, for the fifth consecutive year, captured the S. E. Nebraska Championship, being undefeated in conference competition. Suffering their only defeat at the hands of two of the most powerful aggregations in the state, they, through sheer merit, have obtained an enviable position in the ranks of the better Nebraska High School teams. To them we offer our congratulations and extend our thanks.

Falls City emerged victorious in 8 out of 12 games, a record of which any team would be proud. The Brownies avenged two of the defeats, but had no chance to even the score with the other two, as return games were not played. The Tigers journeyed to Humboldt for the season’s opener and after an exciting battle. Falls City won 26-24. Hiawatha came to Falls City for the next game and defeated the Brownies 22-15. In their first conference clash the Tigers were edged by Nebraska City by a last-second goal 25-24. The small Auburn court made no difference to the Tigers as they won by a score of 25-16. The following Friday Peru invaded Falls City, and their zone defense proved too much for the Tigers, Peru winning 17-7. Smarting from the Peru defeat. Falls City upset the dope bucket and trounced Beatrice 20-9 at Falls City. Falls City's next opponent was Nebraska City. The Tigers got revenge for their earlier defeat, as they won by the score of 38-22. The following Wednesday Tecumseh invaded the Tiger lair and went home on the short end of a 22-11 count. Two days later Falls City journeyed to Lincoln to play Jackson. A bad case of jitters and the height of the Jackson players were the principle factors in Falls City’s defeat of 31-13. In the next game the Tigers played a return with Auburn, and as a result of winning a close contest 15-13, gained at least a tie for the conference title. In the deciding game with Pawnee for the Southeastern championship the Tigers, after a close first half, displayed their ability to play championship basket ball, and proceeded to win, going away 39-21. For the final game of the season, Falls City knocked off Peru to the tune of 22-10. In the regional tournament at Beatrice, Falls City walked through Nebraska City in the first round 32-15, but lost to Beatrice in the semi-finals 21-12. In the consolation the Tigers handed Hebron its third defeat of the year 26-25. Those receiving letters were Captain John Falter, Captain-elect Bob Matthews, Frank Elam, Marvin Dunn. Paul Greenwald, and Ted Boyd. The only lettermen to be lost through graduation are Falter and Elam.

His career started two years ago when he journeyed to Peru to compete in the Southeastern conference meet, returning home with several records and medals for the mile and 880. He next enrolled in the state meet, where he ran the mile in 4:39.7. winner by a large margin. It was believed then that, if pressed, he would have cracked the state record of 4:32.5. Last year at Lincoln, Dodds negotiated the half-mile in 2:01.8, only 1.1 seconds short of the record time, though handicapped by a stiff breeze. At present, he holds three records in this section: 2:03 for the half in the M-I-N-K meet, 2:09.5 for the half in the Southeastern and 4:49.6 for the mile in the Southeastern. His plans call for participation in three meets—the Southeastern Nebraska and M-I-N-K meets at Peru, and the state meet at Lincoln. In all contests, he will line up for the mile event. Great things arc expected from him. He has never yet been defeated in competition. ■ ft • •• • r 0% • . • • t - § ft : .• 1 « • • . • • • 9 • • • $ • s 4 • ' • % • • • « • • • • % % • 1 « v ' • ♦ t • • • . • • • • . • • w % - J • � • % • 6 • •• • • 4 • a i . h i'. !i Chorus girls.

Why, I never heard of such a thing!” We knew you hadn’t, so we got this kind. “The idea of putting our pictures in the back of the book!” Of course we regret this, but we didn’t feel that we could put you all on the cover. “It’s a dirty trick to cartoon a fellow that way.” Popularity has its price. “The shape is awfully clumsy.” Don’t say that, please. We are just as sensitive about our shape as you are about yours. “It isn’t worth a dollar and a half.” Neither is a diamond, but think what one sells for. Famous Quotations “Good nature and good sense must ever join; To err is human, to forgive divine.” —Pope. “Wisdom is oftentimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar.” —Wordsworth. “Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, and tediousness the limb and outward flourishes, I will be brief.” —Shakespeare. “His wit invites you by his looks to come. But, when you knock, it never is at home.” —Cowper. “And, when you stick on conversations burrs, Don’t strew your pathway with those dreadful urs.” —O. W. Holmes. “ Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print; A book’s a book, although there’s nothing in't.” —Byron. “Prepare for rhyme—I'll publish, right or wrong; Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.” —Byron. “What’s a Greek urn?” “About fifteen a week unless he owns his own hash house.” Miss Betz: “If you boys keep up like you are now you’ll be like Napoleon.” John Wilson: “How’s that?” Miss Betz: “You are all going down in History.” Mrs. Prater: “Bud, don’t use such bad words.” Bud: “Shakespeare used them.” Mrs. Prater: “Well, don’t play with him any more.” “I see you gave that little chorine a private room,” observed the first surgeon. (Jim Cain.) Second Doc (Tom Davies): “Yes, she was too cute for Wards.” You can always tell a Freshman by the way they strut around, You can always tell a Sophomore by the way they sit and frown, You can always tell a Junior by the way they act and such, You can always tell a Senior—but you can’t tell them much!

I’ll start.” Bob G.: “I hear ‘Fat’ Eaton was thrown out of college for cribbing.” Clarence S.: “Yep.” Bob G.: “What happened?” Clarence S.: “He sneezed while taking an exam in Russian and they threw him out for conjugating a verb.” Gus E.: “I'm a little stiff from bowling, sir.” Coach: “I don’t care where you’re from, get to work.” 19 3 7 ,! u u i tAlJAf tAM FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL V hy Study?
