THE The Administration The Superintendent It is in the High Schools that a great number of the American youth receive their final training for their future social duties and opportunities. Mr. Gelwick recognized this fact and early in his superintendence became an able advisor and counselor of the students. We want him to know we appreciate all he has done for us during the years we have attended this school. By E. G. S. Faculty Executives The Principal Although the graduating class changes from year to year, in the larger and more important things of life, each class is essentially the same. Mr. Starkebaum, through the years, has tried in every way to make high school mean much to each individual in every class. We do thank him sincerely for his competent leadership and for his kindness to the student body. By E. G. S. The Faculty JANICE BETZ. A. B. History University of Nebraska J. J.

Betty June Lucas leaves flashing her third finger, left hand. Marceille Mahoney wills a smoking typewriter to be repaired as soon as the priorities are lifted. Lois McCarty favors a Tu Der sedan this year (the Don model). Regina McDermott wills her gentle voice to Georgina Brown asking her to phase lend it to “Bevvy” Barnes. Donna Meinzer leaves for Bourke’s Park (in Horton, little chums). Mildred Mettz bequeaths a volume of “Women and Their Ways” to Bud “Cassanova” Jones—oh, pardon us—he wrote that book. Betty Meyers jitterbugs to Greene’s—permanently. Naomi Needham leaves Bob Schiable to drive around uptown after school all by his lonesome. Joe Norris bequeaths his ability to be entertaining to Bob Miller. Lavernne Oberst leaves her younger sister, Juanita, to carry on the Oberst name. Sam Oberst leaves Norma McCarty without a man—but, give her time. Letha Pearson leaves for the Tubach Acres. Wilma Pollette wills her brilliant ability to compose and play the piano to Dwight “Pete, the Boogie-woogie Artist” Frederick.

Henry Wulf bequeaths his “loving-cup” ears to Keith “Eddie” Jahns. Marvin Young leaves crooning, “Yes, sir, Latz my baby!” That’s all Folks. Darlinerozzetta Fisher Dorothy Iris Lichty Naomi Needham Class Prophecy The time is 1952. Miss Sheehan and Miss Shook have retired and are living in “Starkywick,” a small city in Nebraska. They chose Starkywick because there they could live among many of their students who graduated from Falls City High School in 1942. Since these two receive retired teachers pensions, they have had the leisure to write a review of the present positions of the members of the class which is to be published in the “Zagette Gazette,” edited by Bob Hicks. The article follows: The town of Starkywick was in a somewhat run down condition, but through the efforts of Richard Colglazier, mayor, Mildred Metz, his secretary, and Kenneth Wink-lear, F. B. I. Agent, the city has been much improved. “Ox” gained his experience in leadership as president of the class of ’42. Not to be forgotten are the two leading members of his council, Pauline Kentopp and Keith Henninger. Pauline has broken the tradition of “all men” councils. Keith is working to improve the lot of high school students, especially those under Janice Slagle and Lura Arnold, who are seeking revenge for the bard work at Falls City High School. The teachers constantly fear Duane Duey, President of the School Board. He employs all the newest methods, practical or impractical. Since we are speaking of governing bodies, the Congressman, Joe Norris in Washington, is working for higher coal rates and shorter hair cuts. Other outstanding personalities are Wilma Pollette, concert pianist, and Catherine Denison, who has just completed a history text book. Ernestine Frehse and Betty Meyers have influenced theater manager Kent Waller not to show any more murder mysteries because these movies frighten the girls. Besides, it was as a result of these pictures that Lowell Ankrom and Bud Reed launched on their wayward careers. However, the two young men are walking the straight and narrow now because of the efforts of Henry Horn, University Coach. Juliamae Duerfeldt, director of the Ladies Aid Society, has arranged for that great lecturer, Professor John Budeit, to speak to the girls on a most fascinating subject “The Evils of Slang.” Betty Mae Austin who runs the boarding house—“Mae’s Place”—employs Ardis Carr as blues singer and Lois Timothy as a dancer. Next door to “Mae’s Place” is a novel corporation, an old maid’s home, owned and operated by Miss Emma Baker. The “maidens” under her care keep the beauticians, Dorothy and Lucille Bossom, on their toes. Ernie Prosser and Darlene Fisher aren’t around town any more. Ernie is pitching for the New York Lankees and Darlene directs an orchestra deep in the heart of Texas. Henry Wulf, big butter and egg man of the West, employs blond Naomi Needham as his private secretary. She isn’t getting fickle, is she? That brawny dog catcher, Glendonald Runyan, finds victims for Lossie Bowers, the veterinarian. Since business has been rather slow, they can afford only one stenographer, Ruth Grush, and even she does well to keep away from the bread line. Joan Bohrer and Dorothy Lichty arebeing starred in the popular radio serial, “Farewell to Arms.” This program is sponsored by Ruth Johnson, who pickles “Bita-a-wee Pickles.” Annabel Cox, a graduate of Princeton, getting ideas from Ridera Stock -dale’s column, “The Latest Hints On Fashions,” designs the gowns worn by Joan and Dorothy. Because he won his last match, “the bomber,” Albert Gruber, is spending his time under the care of Dr. Sam Cowan, owner of the “Quick Relief Hospital.” The personnel includes Betty June Burton, laboratory technician (her appointment was purely co-incidental), and nurses, Marceille Mahoney and Donna Meinzer. A very important factor in Starkywick is the town newspaper, the “Zagette Gazette.” Dick Gelwick, chief photographer, gets some very interesting shots by use of the infra-red rays. Lois Beckham has a column on page three entitled “Advice to the Love Lorn.” Closely allied to this is Helen Ann Hansen’s syndicated column, “How to be Sure You Have Your Man.” Adding color to the staff is that foreign news correspondent who really gets around, Beth Bryant. Martha Jo Cooper during her last year in high school became suddenly interested in agriculture. A minister has made it possible for her to travel with the most famous agricultural agent in the history of the new world, Ralph Burdick. He is now trying to cross cactus with kaffir corn to produce a cereal. Marie Strecker, who recently inherited the billions left by her Uncle Throt-Morton, established the “High Flyin and Fallutin Airport.” Betty Latz, journalist, in her daily column, suggested to Miss Strecker that sheadvertise her airport by sky writing. Of course, that well-known stunt man, Marvin Young, would undertake the task. The only aviatrix on the field, Margie Simmons, seldom solos, since Sam Oberst and Eugene Engleman are always around to accompany her on her flights. Service of the planes is taken care of by Donald Brackhahn. Virgil Falloon failed to fully realize his ambition—to see the world as a railroad engineer. He isn’t an engineer; however, he is seeing the world—on his own two feet. Vernon Hazelwood, finding nothing better to occupy his valuabe time, has joined Virg and his never-ending expedition. Melvin Johnson superintends an exclusive reducing school. Regina McDermott, honor student, and Lois Houtz, runner-up, have taken for their motto—“Sit less, stoop more, look better than before.” Ed Allen operates the “Roopelly Doopelly Grocery Store.” Because of the competition by Hinky Dinkey, he has been forced to open a ritzy tea room to encourage patronage. Elnora Bachenburg is hostess in the tea room. Next door to this is the “Hub,” a drug store owned and operated by Bob Reed who used to spend so much time in drug stores that he gradually learned the business. His bookkeeper, etc., is Hester Friedly. Frances Abbott is social service worker at the Starkywick Alcatraz for women. Darlene Liebsch, successor to Kate Smith, still isn’t married, but we’re waiting. Bernard Johnson is making money and plenty of it. How? He’s digging ditches on the W.P.A. Laverne Oberst, a wealthy “unclaimed blessing,” has established Mary Sue Jones in a profitable taxi company. So interested in Mary Sue was Miss Oberst that she also endowed her with a secretary, LaVera Schneidewind. A stiff competitor of the Taxi Company is the “Motorcycle Circle Cab Company” run by Bob Wing. Marianne Evans is her husband’s boss. Who would have thought it? The city has enough sailors to have a fleet of its own. Among them are Jack Davidson, Ronald Franklin, and Loren Dale. However, there is something unusual about these boys, they have two girls in every port instead of the conventional one. There are two persons in the class particularly interested in the army air corps. Betty June Lucas is married to a flier; Jack Chaffee has just been promoted to the highest possible rank in the air corps. Katrine Kjeldsen, a socialite, and her two secretaries, Letha Pearson and Thelma Comford, recently arranged a benefit ball. Proceeds were given to the Bachelor’s Club of which Ervin Deckinger is president. Don Tuder, that well known man about town, is contemplating, in his more serious moments, settling down. Only if he does, will Lois McCarty have anything to say about it. Last, but not least, we wish to mention the former Sue Brenner, who is married to a handsome and dashing life guard. There are at present five pairs of shoes under the table at mealtimes. Her next door neighbor is Emma Georgia Stout who is busy taking care of “twin live wiars.” Here ends the review of the history of the class of nineteen forty-two to now. Emma Georgia Stout Beth Bryant John Budeit Senior Class History In the fall of 1938 we entered F. C. H. S. for the first of the four years we were to spend here. Under the guidance of our sponsors, Miss Shook and Miss Sheehan, we elected the following as class officers: Sam Cowan, president; Beth Bryant, vice president; Wibur Bruhn, secretary; Richard Colglazier, treasurer. During that year Richard Colglazier lettered in football. On the Junior Fair Board were Sam Oberst, Howard Weinert, and John Budeit. The following year, as sophomores, we elected as class officers: Dorothy Lichty, president; Vernon Hazelwood, vice president; Bernard Johnson, secretary; Sue Brenner, treasurer. Thcl class was represented in the operetta, “Robin Hood, Inc.”, by Joan Bohrer, Darline Fisher, and Jack Chaffee. The lettermen in our class that year were Richard Colglazier, Ernest Prosser, and James Spears. As juniors we elected as officers: Virgil Falloon, president: Kent Waller, vice president; Betty Latz, secretary; Joe Norris, treasurer. Richard Colglazier, Ernest Prosser, Marvin Young, and Lossie Bowers won football letters. Ernest Prosser won a basketball letter. Our junior play, entitled, “Little Miss Fortune,” had as its cast the following: Naomi Needham, Joan Bohrer, Betty June Burton, Virgil Falloon, Allen Guider, Darlene Liebsch, Dorothy Lichty, Annabel Cox, Bernard Johnson, Elnora Bachenberg, and Jack Chaffee. A one-act play was given entitled “She Was Only a Farmer’s Daughter.” Those taking part in it were Dorothy Lichty, Joan Bohrer, Jack Chaffee, Jack Saly, Annabel Cox, Joe Norris, Janice Slagle, and Naomi Needham. In May, 1941, we were hosts to the seniors at the Junior-Senior banquet which was held at the Prichard Memorial Auditorium. In the last year of our high school career, we elected Richard Colglazier, president; Lossie Bowers, vice president; Annabel Cox, secretary; Allen Guider, treasurer. The Orange and Black staff members were Sue Brenner, Emma Georgia Stout, Dorothy Lichty, Naomi Needham, Beth Bryant, Darline Fisher, Joe Norris, Kent Waller, Virgil Falloon, John Budeit, and Richard Gelwick. Those participating in the senior play “Second Fiddle” were Emma Georgia Stout, Bernard Johnson, Naomi Needham, Betty June Burton, Sue Brenner, Annabel Cox, Joe Norris, Virgil Falloon, and Joan Bohrer. We were represented in the Young Citizens’ Contest by Darlene Liebsch, Naomi Needham, Bernard Johnson, and Vernon Hazelwood. This is only a brief history to tell you some of the things we have done. We wish to thank Miss Sheehan and Miss Shook, our sponsors, for their guidance throughout our high school career. —Sue Brenner n-n-W.Tt.n.n w n n w � w w n n n n n tv tv From contemplation one may become wise, but knowledge comes only from study. —Newton Elmer Arnold Paul Bachenberg Robert Bader Mary Ann Bauman Otis Bauman Ralph Bauman Mary Beckner Bernard Bennett Geraldine Benschoter Dorothy Beutler Mar jean Bippes Ted Boland Martain Braun Donald Brecht Jack Buising Richard Carter Margret Combs Peggy Coon Donald Dale Gerald Davis Loretta Lee Deckenger Bernice Duerfeldt Jean Dunn Katherine Dunn James Erwin Sterling Faller Lloyd Fallers Eugene Feightner Betty Ferron Carolyn Fiene Margaret Fischer Lester Fisher Arleen Fitzpatrick Robert Fletchall Dwight Frederick Vaneta Gartner Mildred Gilliland Harriet Hall Edgar Halterman Corrine Hardenburger Bill Harper James Hebenstreit Joe Hebenstreit Joan Huber Jack Jones Vivian Jackson Pearl Johnson Elaine Kanaly JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS ' Juniors PRESIDENT .....

OFFICERS PRESIDENT..................................................Sue Brenner SECRETARY-TREASURER................................Lila Louise Stoner SOCIAL CHAIRMAN Emma Georgia Stout CONCESSION MANAGER ........................... Marcene LaForge The G. A. A. is a member of the Nebraska State Athletic Association. State and Local awards are won by girls complying with rules and passing the required tests. Several girls are winning their second awards this year. ( The G. A. A. has, on the wholo, had a very eventful and successful year. Several parties were given in the course of the year in celebration of the various holidays. The activities offered during the year were ping-pong, tennis, archery, basketball, dancing, hockey, and hiking. Cheer Leaders Betty June Burton, John Thompson, and Joan Bohrer, our cheer leaders, were an indispensable part of school activity this year. Their pep and enthusiasm were imparted into our sports and made things seem bright even during those times when we lost the games. The Athletics Gridiron ( i i i i i Since “Jug” Brown has been coach in Falls City, our school j has won many honors on the athletic field. “Jug” has been unusually successful in coach- • ing Falls City’s athletic teams. He is popular not only with j the student body and his fellow-teachers, but also with the j citizens of Falls City. ! I I Richard Colglazier (Tackle): To our sturdy line-man we give special praise for his most unusual football career at Falls City High School. Richard has not only earned a letter each of the four years, but has proven to be one of the most valuable men on the team. And without a doubt, he was the guiding factor which brought our 1941-42 team through a tough schedule to win honors which have been held by former Falls City teams. F- i End Paul Sailors: Paul played a fine game and gave the first string plenty to think about in practice. End Don Tuder: Don’s ability both on offense and defense added to the strength and forwardness of the team. Center Ralph Wulf: A big boy who gives the coach something to look forward to next year. Guard Ben Woodard: Fight and fire were his characteristics and they showed up well. Halfback Marvin Young: Marvin managed well his 185 pounds and drove through the line for many a tackle as well as many gains. End Ed Allen: Ed was always at the end of a long pass which he managed to stretch a few yards. Halfback Lowell Ankrom: At one time or another Lowell gave relief to the whole back field and showed his ability in all positions. Halfback Robert Bader: Bob showed up as a promising spark plug for next year’s team. Fullback Otis Bauman: He kept the ball rolling when the going went tough and showed a great deal of fire in defensive work. Guard Lossie Bowers: No one chanced to go through Lossie for he was always there to nail his man. Tackle Henry Horn: Henry played the game of football day and night. Halfback Bernard Johnson: “Bunny” gave the first team plenty competition in practice as well as relief in regular games. Quarterback Ernest Prosser: The quarterback of the team who showed brilliant passing and kicking ability. Center Charles Reed: He not only was sure to deliver the ball but always got got his man. Guard Bob Reed: Bob’s eagerness to mix it up, added much to his ability to block and tackle. n n 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Tackle Don Brackhahn: Don’s hard tackling gave the opponents something to to think about. Joe Norris: Our Student Manager. While not a player, Joe was conspicuous at at all the games. Tackle Irvin Deckinger: Every game showed “Dek” in there giving the boys his best. Guard Duane Duey: A relief guard who could always be depended upon to do his best. End Richard Gelwick: Dick showed his ability and sportsmanship both in practice and in scheduled games.

Forward Joe Hebenstreit: (Captain elect) Joe has a good eye for the basket and keeps a level head no matter what the score. We will hear much from him next year. Guard Ernest Prosser: (Captain) Ernie, who incidentally was high point man for the season, played an excellent floor game. Guard Otis Bauman: His brand of ball would have been the pride and joy of any school. Forward Bernard Bennett: Although he was the smallest mam on the first team, his accurate shooting made him one of the most important. Center Don Tuder: Don’s offensive game was an outstanding factor which helped to bring about the success of the team. Guard Richard Gelwick: Richard was mighty important as our main relief man. Forward Vernon Hazelwood: Vernon played a wide-awake game and managed to catch the opponent off guard many times. Guard Charles Reed: He is the man who sinks those last second thrillers. Center Ralph Bauman: Ralph used his outstanding height to a great advantage.
