Class Colors: French Blue and Cerise Class Flower: White Carnation Class Motto: Nil sine magno vita labore dedat mortalibus The Class of 1938, in order that their activities in Falls City High School be remembered, present the following record. We started our career in the Falls City High School in the fall of 1934. Under the sponsorship of Miss Shook and Mr. Hatch, the following class officers A'ere elected: Paul Greenwald, president; Robert Matthews, vice-president; Jane Ann Lake, secretary; Jack C.olglazier, treasurer. We were represented on the football team by Everett Babe” Kiefer, who played first-string guard. Mary Frances Hysell, celloist, received an excellent rating in the M-I-N-K contest. The next year, as semi-dignified sophomores, we elected as our class officers, Vernon Green, president; Eugene Martin, vice-president; Elsie Wertz, secretary; and Edgar Wiltse, treasurer. Again we were honored when Babe Kiefer won his football letter. Jay Norris and Robert Gelwick had leads in the operetta 'Tune In”, directed by Miss Ruth Cochrane. In 1936 we elected as class officers Don Heinzelman, president; Everett Kiefer, vice-president; Mary Elizabeth Schock, secretary; and Noel Lundy, treasurer. Our Junior play, The Antics of Andrew”, was presented with the following cast: Robert Gelwick, Mary Elizabeth Schock. Jay Norris, Doris Mae Starkebaum, Don Heinzelman, Mary Frances Hysell. Harold Noah. Betty Kathryn Cole, Dean Slagle, Billy Wing, and Marjorie Lou Morsman. Robert Matthews, Gordon Stump, Tom Bryson and Everett Kiefer lettered in football, while Bob Matthews, Marvin Dunn, Everett Kiefer, Paul Greenwald and Ted Boyd were on the basketball squad. Three members of our class competed in the District Music contest; Jay Norris, piano solo; Robert Gelwick, trombone; and Don Heinzelman, trumpet. We were represented in the operetta The Toreadors by Jay Norris. Harold Noah, obert Gelwick. In May of 1937 we were hosts to the seniors for the annual Junior-Senior banquet, which we held in the high school gymnasium. — 1938 — Class officers were chosen as follows: Jack Colglazier, president; Paul Greenwald, vice-presi- dent; Bob Matthews, secretary; and Mary Frances Hysell, treasurer. With permission to publish an annual, the following staff was elected: Bob Gelwick, editor; Dean Slagle and Lucille Schloeder, assistant editors; Mary Elizabeth Schock, Jane Ann Lake, Irma Lee Lord, Vernon Green, staff editors; Don Heinzelman and Helen Claire Kilbury, business managers; Doris Mae Starkebaum, Lucy Vada Martin, Dale Bauer, Betty Kthryn Cole, subscription mna-agers. Our class was represented in the Young Citizens' Contest by Doris Mae Starkebaum, Geraldine Stoner, Robert Gelwick, and Jay Norris. Geraldine Stoner and Robert Gelwick won in both the county and district contests. This year Captain Babe Kiefer, Dwight Duey, Bob Matthews, Jack Colglazier, Tom Bryson, Noel Lundy, Fred Harkendorff, Amos Yoder, Bryan Jones, Paul Greenwald, Vernon Green and Gordon Stump received football letters. We were represented on the basketball team by Captain Bob Matthews, Marvin Dunn, Paul Greenwald and Amos Yoder. Five of our members, Robert Gelwick, Doris Mae Starkebaum, Erma Seeger, Harold Noah and Jay Norris, received the leads in the operetta Oh Doctor!” We were guests of the Juniors at the annual Junior-Senior banquet. Our Senior play, Class Day and Baccalaureate followed in rapid succession. Finally, in the last of May, we finished our high school career at our Commencement Exercises. As we leave, we wish to thank our sponsors and the faculty for the splendid help and guidance they have given us. —Geraldine Stoner. Prophecy Somewhere between here and there is a group of islands known as the Green Lands; and with this distant colony for our destination, we begin our travels in the year 1954. We reach the chief port on the good ship Gently Rolla”, which boasts of Dale Bauer as its skipper. As the ship docks and we look over the sides, we laugh at two funny little men selling Popcorn, Peanuts and Candy”—only to find they are Harold Schulz and Elmer Linderman. It isn't much trouble to slip away, and we soon find ourselves strolling along an avenue lined with tall trees. Through a white picket fence we see two women having tea. One of them waves, and we find they are Margaret Bennett and Williscene Jackson. They direct us to the governmental section of the city where we are awed by the great castle in which the Emperor lives in style. We arrange for an interview with the ruler of the land, and seat ourselves in the reception room to wait. After a brilliant fanfare, a page comes forth and renders this announcement: His Majesty, the Honorable El Fuce, Dictator of the United Empire of the Islands in the Sea!” And who should strut out but our old friend Fred Harken dorff! He graciously offers to show us the castle; and as we pass through the hall of fame honoring great generals and admirals, we smile to see the large portrait of Robert Gelwick with its many medals and decorations, and next to his one of Jack Colglazier who defeated a fleet of five thousand vessels. They were the two brave leaders who helped His Excellency to overthrow the government in the forties. Amelia Spears was their wai aviatrix. Near by is also a life-sized painting of Helen Claire Kilbury, His Excellency's favorite. She was head nurse in the rebel army, and earned the name of The Lady with the Vamp.” After an enjoyable hour with the king, we wander aimlessly down the street. Overhearing a conversation, we discover that Don Kratz is trying to organize an anti-dictatorial party, and along with his able orator-helper, Merle Andrews, has succeeded in arousing a fine class of dissenters. We are more than astonished to find that Noel Lundy, an outstanding statesman for El Fuce, has challenged Merle to a debate in Pargress in which each will air his views on current political problems. Suddenly there is a great commotion and we see Babe Kiefer arguing with Paul Greenwald about the new radio program featuring Bob Matthews and Vernon Green as Flipper Macree and Polly.” We question the two, and they tell us that the announcer for the program is Dwight Duey, and the sponsors are Marvin Dunn and Victor Ketter, who sell Bite-a-wee” pickles. Boarding a bus we start on a tour of the city. Orville Sommerville offers to spot out places of interest as we journey down main street and the first thing we see is Niagra’s most popular theatre, The Tom-Hawk,” owned by Lucy Vada Martin. Tonight's feature is Away with a Breeze.” The leading stars are Hugh Kent Beckham, and Mary Elizabeth Schock—just wait till you hear her sing! There is also a vaudeville in which Edgar Bergen will feature Harold Noah on the other knee. To the left is the show that tries to out-do the Tom-Hawk” by featuring Edward Gilliland, a second Robert Taylor, and his leading lady Erma Seeger. Next door is Ye Olde Yankee Shoppe,” a dress establishment owned by that famous designer of new creations, Minta Carol Fischer, assisted by Anna Mangold, who runs them off on the sewing machine. A billboard attraction on the side of a tall building proclaims that Jay Norris is the leading star of the Melloe Drama Opera Company. And on one of the windows near the sign are the words Robert Popejoy and Sons, Attorneys-at-Law.” As we travel down the street Orville tells us: Raymond Herbster sells new and used cars, Margaret Schober is the proud owner of a thirteen-operator beauty shoppe called the Maxwelle Salon”; a small book store owned by Don Butler advertises his life story The Hero”; Nellie Ruth King owns a florist shop, and Mary Emma Wiss-man sells them across the counter. Around the corner is a quaint old English inn that sells home-cooked meals at moderate prices. It is run by Sarah Jane Cockerham and Helen Inks. Imogene Young is the head waitress. Next we see a new filling station with bright green pumps carrying Flexico products and managed by Amos Yoder. There is a corner of the station set aside for the Smile-a-while studio where Ruth Gatz and Marcile Dorste take and make your photo while you wait. Across the street is a grocery store named Tony's Market” owned by Miriam Mower. Next door Robert Prosser is selling a new car named La Floato that gives one the impression of a Dashhound. Just across the street is a Confectionery Counter operated by Jean Livingston and Lorraine Bauman. Our bus pulls up in front of the Hall of Science and our guide urges us to look around. The first thing we see is a large duoplane, invented by Alan Andrew, to run on feathers. In a special case is a minute mariner’s compass no larger than a ring, perfected by Stanley Sailors. There is a picture of Edward Koso, who has been a diligent student in the university for many years and has worked out a method of leading a horse to water—and making it drink. Vesta Bletscher has discovered a formula for a new shade of green, guaranteed to wear well with any color of hair. Jane Anne Lake has invented a labor-saving device which, if attached to a piano key board, will emit the sound of a ten-piece orchestra. Dearie Schatz, a renowned doctor, has written a pamphlet on The Importance of Goat Milk-in the Daily Diet”, and Charles Godfirnon is his agent to see that every home has at least one quart a day. A very different and more efficient penmanship method has been perfected by Geraldine Stoner. Leaving the Hall of Science, we head for the hotel after a most enjoyable day of sight seeing. As we enter our hotel lobby, we see Viola Mae Class and Gladys Hartman sitting in the lounge. They tell us that they are making a tour of the world and are just now waiting for their third companion, Mavis McLaughlin. Chatting with them we learn: James Kirk operates a Frederick's 77 .Station on eleventh street and is a rival of John Schaible in the gasoline business. The most widely known artist on the islands is Doris Mae Starkebaum. Her favorite models are Marjorie Morsman and Billy Wing. Katherine Kentopp is the author of a book explaining the new dance sensation 'The Sliced Cucumber.” Tom Bryson is touring the country to charm audiences with such works as Thanatopsis. Irma Lee Lord has established a very popular recreational center where young people are urged to come and have a good time. Our classmates also tell us that if we lack for diversion while in Capitol City, we can arrange for a pleasant evening through Don Heinzelman's Exclusive Escort Incorporation.” Dean Slagle recently took over the Little Robert's Almanac publication. Maxine Allen teaches the fourth and fifth grades of the little green school house but she can't say much for her pupils. It seems they are in harmony with all the other green things on the islands. Lucille Schloeder is the Doctor of the Capitol City Hospital and has charge of such great nurses as Virginia Stump, Betty Phillips and Alice Hale. Stenographer for the Emperor is Dorothy Hackworth. She is assisted by Maxine Grady who writes his signature on important documents. Edna Mae Kouns has a priceless collection of books which is open for public inspection three nights a week. After our friends leave, we pick up the newspaper and scan the headlines. It seems that: Ilene Cox has taken over Walt Disney’s Greenland” studio and now has a serial started called Mickey Mouse takes the Air.” Mary Frances Hysell publishes a syndicated column entitled How to be sure you have got your man.” Doris Dragoo and Eunice McBride hold important positions in the Civil Service of the islands. La Verda and La Veda Creech have married twin brothers and are now in charge of the Greene Embassy at Zanzibar. Gordon Stump is a great wrestler; sportsmen believe he will defeat Plump Stocky, alias Howard Schroedl, the present heavy-weight champion of the world. Betty Kathryn Cole has charge of the Fashionable Foolishness” column of the Niagra Evening Eye Sore.” The following morning we go to the radio station to hear a broadcast. We are ushered into a small room and instructed to be quiet while the program goes on the air. Elizabeth Holmes is giving fashion notes mixed in with a woman's view of the news. Immediately after is the Tom Call this Morning hour with Red Fallen, alias Wayne Knisely as Master of Ceremonies. He makes a report on a recent news note from the Separated Press as follows: Flash! Hildegarde Witt has disappeared. Authorities fear a kidnaping and have put a large force of detectives on the case. Franklin and Leonard Weinert have chargeing to conduct the trial when the abductors are of the investigation and Edgar Wiltse is prepar-found. Paul Oliver is anxiously waiting, while Robert Rieschick tries to comfort him by saying she'll never be released. Marjorie Jahns and Geraldine Jones, who were the last persons to see the victim, say she was dressed in a green suit with orange accessories. Flash! Inspector Ernest Strasil reports that the missing girl has been found and returned to her home. She just wondered if anyone would miss her! The program continues with Doris Stein man giving interpretative readings on the Silver Sardine hour. Another artist who shares her popularity is Quinton Lively, master of a new instrument called the Gazooka. After the broadcast we board a street car and ride into the country where we exclaim over the Green Pastures. Fern Scholl owns the most beautiful farm on the island and just across the road Genevieve Wheeler owns a yacht club where we can see one of the daily races which are put on by her patrons. We stop at a lovely spot in the middle of a green valley to visit with Edwin Brecht, who discovered the real fountain of youth. He has enclosed the well and invites any of his classmates to drink at will. Having found the Green Islands a reg.on of exceptional interest because of renewed acquaintances, and believing that the class of 1938, members of which we have found to be well and in health, is by far the most progressive group ever to graduate from the Falls City High School, we turn our faces homeward with the satisfaction that we, too, are a product of that great institution.

C. J. H. to the F. C. H. S. At the beginning of its high school career, the Freshman class, consisting of 126 members, elected John Graham, president; Charles Powell, vice-president; Curtice Faucett, secretary and treasurer. Miss Jorn and Mr. Sympson were our class sponsors. In 1936 the officers elected were Robert Kline, president; Richard Miller, vice-president; Robert Gillaspy, secretary and treasurer. Upon entering the F. C. H. S. in the fall of 1937, the Juniors elected for their class officers the following: Robert Lovick, president; Frances Wilson, vice-presi- dent; Margaret Sonner, secretary; Robert Gillaspy, treasurer. This class successfully presented the play, Enter the Hero,” a three-act comedy, under the direction of Mr. Fisher. The cast consisted of the following: Evelyn Maisenbacker, George Hansen, Marie Wright, Robert James, Josephine Weaver, Fred Farington, Carol Schaible, Harry Hess, Curtice Faucett, and Moss Jones. In football and basketball the promise of last year was fulfilled. Captain-elect Don Femmer, Robert James, Robert Gillaspy, Robert Allen, Harold Kissel, and Frank Hebenstreit won their letters in football. Fred Mosiman and Frank Heben-streit were the Juniors who won basketball letters. In May the Juniors entertained the Seniors at the Junior-Senior banquet.

Those from Falls City were Doris Mae Starkebaum,, Geraldine Stoner, Robert Gelwick and Jay Norris, selected by Mr. Fisher for outstanding work in the English department. There were three phases to the county competition—a physical, psychological and civics examination. The winners of the county contest automatically became contestants in the district contest. District awards were made on the basis of the papers written in the county contest. Geraldine Stoner and Robert Gelwick won this phase of the competition. Their prize was a trip to Omaha, where they represented our district in the state contest. The state contests were held in November at the Omaha Y. M. C. A. Psychological, memory and civics tests were held the first morning. During the afternoon the Young Citizens toured the World-Herald and Woodmen of the World plants. At the American Legion banquet the semi-finalists were announced. After the banquet, the young citizens attended the Omaha Auto Show and Transportation Exhibition at the Ak-Sar-Ben. The fifty-two young citizens spent the next day as they individually desired. On their last night they were the guests of the World-Herald at a banquet. Here, state awards were made, and an interesting program was given by the young citizens themselves. —Geraldine Stoner. J?' uniot ENTER THE HERO A brilliant and spontaneous comedy; a talented production, founded on the theory that the worm will eventually turn.” The worm” in this case was Robbie Sawyer, a timid, peace-loving fellow, whose only interest was the success of his new model, modern and methodical cookbook. Poor Robbie was all engrossed in his work, when lo and behold, it was necessary for him to become a super athlete in order to impress a prospective father-in-law, who had a mania for sports of all kinds. Robbie's gradual change from a meek person to a fighting machine rocked the audience into gales of glee. THE CAST George Hansen, Josephine Weaver, Fred Farington, Robert James, Evelyn Maisenbacker.

This field has one unique advantage over many others because it is possible for a girl to prepare herself for a profession and at the same time secure training for one big responsibility which more than eighty percent of the women enter—that of managing a home of her own. In the two years, units in personality, child care, social and family relationship, health, home nursing, art and science pertaining to the home, foods and nutrition, textiles, clothing selection and construction, budgeting, home management and house furnishing, aim to give the girl a practical and scientific training for a modern homemaker. This year the classes planned, prepared and served the Football Banquet, Rotary Banquet entertained their mothers and gave a tea for the eighth grade girls.

Vocational Agriculture combines scientific information with practical experience. The work of the students consists of three phases; first, classroom study and discussion; second, project work which practices information gained in the classroom; and thirdly, farm shop work, designed to be of assistance in farm repair work. Under the instruction of Mr. O. C. Hatch, the boys aimed at community betterment and the development of leadership. tyuniot 7ait FARM PRODUCTS The Junior Fair has established for itself a place among the major activities of this community. From a small beginning twelve years ago it has increased in size and scope continuously. Some of the significant changes that have occurred during the development period and that have been responsible for its increasing popularity are as follows: First, the making of County Funds available for use as premium money to prize winners through the cooperation of the County Commissioners and the County Superintendent, with the School Authorities. Second, the change made in the parade whereby the old educational type of floats gave way to the more interesting and spectacular Pet and Doll parade. The Junior Fair is made possible through the efforts of the Vocational Agriculture and Home Economics departments of our High School and is representative of the many efforts put forth throughout the school system to give our young people a large and varied group of experiences designed to fit them for useful citizenship. ? - s ■ f 9 -Qtkletlci School pltlt and Jleadetlhiyi With a croak on Monday morning From the cries of Friday night— With a tiger front adorning Suits that show our colors right— With a grin of joy for triumph.

Combining a jolly disposition with stern discipline and advice, this man has endeared himself to all he meets. Through his work and guidance, high school athletics in Falls City has become what it is-—good, clean, fair play, with a just and enviable reward. In industry the man who runs the machine is the important factor in production-—-without the hand to control the works, nothing is accomplished. So it is with athletics.

C.-Jackson In the opening game of the season we met the powerful Jackson High gridsters of Lincoln and after 60 minutes of thrilling, gruelling play, triumphed with a 7-6 win. The single point victory hardly tells the true story as the Tigers chalked up 8 first downs to one for the Cardinals. Falls City played without Captain Everett Kiefer, who was ill. F. C.-Auburn The following week, on Oct. 8, we entertained the Auburn Bulldogs on the home turf, and with plenty of reserve from the Jackson fray, hung up our first conference win. The game, played in a drizzling rain and with footing none too sure, ended Falls City, 20: Auburn, 0. F. C.-Lincoln On Oct. 22, after a week's layoff, with needed experience gained and reeinforced by Capt. ' Babe” Kiefer back in the lineup, we moved in on Capital Soil for the game with Lincoln High. After a thrilling, hard-fought game, the Tigers were forced to taste defeat for the only time during the season by a score of 7-6. Had a bad case of pre-game jitters vanished early in the game as it did in the late moments, Lincoln High undoubtedly would have faced a more ferocious Tiger aggregation. F. C.-Sabetha On Oct. 29, the Sabetha Bluejays journeyed here to resume old gridiron relations and were easily and decisively overpowered by the Orange and Black color-bearers. Final score. Falls City, 43; Sabetha, 6. F. C.-Nebraska City The following week we went to Nebraska City for the only night game of the season. Unhampered by the artificial lighting, we walked off with another conference team safely tucked away in the bag. The game ended Falls City, 29; Nebraska City, 6. F. C.-Tecumseh Then on Nov. 12 we played the Tecumseh Indians in our last circuit fray of the season. A 20-6 win gained us top position in the Southeast Conference. T he reserves played part of the game and it was at their hands that the Indians made their lone touchdown. F. C.-St. Joe Benton The next week-end we met the highly ballyhooed St. Joe Benton outfit, who had piled up an enviable record by conquering small town teams. The Show Me State” lads were shown the real art of gridiron tactics when the Brownmen swung into real championship form and turned a closely expected game into a rout. At the final whistle the score was Falls City, 41; St. Joe. 0. F. C.-Hiawatha We went over to Hiawatha on Nov. 25 for the annual Thanksgiving Day game. After one of the bitterest and roughest battles in our 22 years of rivalry, we came home on the long end of a 20-6 count. 'The PLayeii 1. HERRINGTON—Center Red” was first string sub at center. He was heavy and fast and played best when the going was tough. He did wonderfully well for a first year man. 2. ALLEN—Guard Burr” played in a majority of the games and teamed up well with any of the first stringers. He was a fine tackier, blocked well and had a knack of slipping through the line and throwing the ball carrier for huge losses. 3. KISSEL—End Kissel suffered bad luck in practice session after the Lincoln game and was out for the rest of the season. With his knee fully recovered, he should go places next year. 4. HARKENDOREE—Tackle Although a reserve, Fred was a dependable man when called upon for action. 5. COLGLAZIER—Guard Coggy” was something of a utility man. He proved efficient at either guard or center and was among the best in blocking and tackling. 6. GILLASPY—Quarterback Bob was the midget on the squad but has been characterized as having more fight per pound than any other player on the team. 7. JAMES—Halfback James was one of our ablest reserves in the backfield. He can pass, punt or carry the ball. 8. DUEY—End Although he didn't see much service, Duey was probably as good as either of the regulars. He was a clever tackier, blocked well and covered punts equally as well. 9. BRYSON—Halfback Bryson finished his second year on the squad in great style. He was good at line plunges and end sweeps and a punter of ability. 10 HEBENSTRE IT—Center Playing his first year of football for Falls City, Hebby developed into an outstanding pivot man. His passing was always accurate and he could be relied upon to get his man whether an offense or defense. 11. JONES—Guard Porgy was usually the fifth man in the opponents' backfield.' This alone proves his ability on defense. Shifty, unusually fast for a big man, Porgy opened garage door holes for the ballcarriers on offense. 12. STUMP—'Tackle Stump, a veteran of several seasons past, has been a valuable man for the team. Tall, heavy, he had the power to slice through the line and drive after he got through. He was the hardest hitting lineman on the team. 13. GREEN WALD—Quarterback Smoky was the cagiest, most elusive quarterback to ever don a moleskin for Falls City. He called his plays with exactness and was especially cool under fire. He was an excellent tackier and blocker. 14. FEMMER—End Because of his abilities as a player and hard fighting qualities, Don was unanimously elected to captain the team next year. His work as a wingman stood out as one of the best displays of end work in the conference. 15. GREEN—End Green played his first year of football in great style. He was adept at snagging passes and was fast down the field under punts and kickoffs. 16. LUNDY—Guard Lundy greatly helped our reserve strength at guard. He was a deadly tackier and fast down under punts. On offense he did a splendid job of ruining interference. 17. DRUrVIM—Fullback Drumm was Falls City's power through the line. He was big and tough and in on almost every tackle through the line. His towering height was used to good advantage in snagging and knocking down passes. 18. YODER—Tackle Although a first year man, Little Amos performed like a veteran. Powerful on defense, he was an able blocker and fast charger with a speed that belied his bulk. 19- KIEFER—Captain Captain Kiefer was one of the best football players in the history of the Falls City High School. He made the mythical all-state team in his junior and senior years. He closes his high school career with four football letters. As the Captain of the 1937 team, he was a courageous and inspiring leader. 20. MATTHEWS—Halfback Matthews was the spark plug of the Falls City High school backfield. He ran, passed and kicked the team to many a victory and won for himself a place on the mythical all-state team.

These boys, together with Marvin Dunn and Fred Mosiman, under the efficient leadership of Coach Brown, organized into one of the smoothest and most consistent five to take the floor for F. C. H. S. Victory after victory was theirs for the asking, and the end of the season found Falls City with its first undefeated basketball team—a regional tournament included in the spotless record. This meant the fourth consecutive Southeastern Championship title for the basket year, and a triumphant team journeyed to the state tournament at Lincoln. Laboring under difficulties, the Orangemen lost by one point to the powerful Kearney five and thus completed another successful year of athletic history. ! 5 ? ? 5 '■ e t - ■ Farmerette.
