Physical Education University of Nebraska M A Throughout our four years in high school our constant guide and help has been the members of Faculty. They have aided us in our difficulties and helped us with our problems. They have patiently watched over us, now urging us on, now tempering our impetuousness. Although we have made mistakes . . . many of them . . . they have been indulgent and made our progress their main concern. Despite the fact that there has been discord at times, our esteem for them grows and friendship supplants friction. So with deepest appreciation for their forbearance and direction, we present our senior partner . . . Our Faculty. Sally Yoder. RUTH H. KLINE, A.B. English University of Nebraska MILDRED SHOOK, A.B.

Sector “i¥i4tony Wandering into Falls City High School as very green Freshmen in the fall of 1939, we first showed our ability when we elected the following class officers: president, Bob Bader; vice president, Betty Lichty; secretary, Helen Miller; treasurer, Bernard Allsman. Our sponsors are Miss Ickman and Mr. Hatch, who have guided us throughout our four years. We were represented at the music contests by John Thompson, James Erwin, Ted Boland, Richard Carter, Jean Dunn, Carolyn Fiene, Vaneta Gartner, Betty June Turner, Jo Ann Wilson, and Sally Yoder. With a little of the green wearing off, we entered our Sophomore year of our careers and elected the following officers: president, Ted Boland; vice president, James Erwin; secretary, Jean Dunn; treasurer, Bill Huffman. Otis Bauman lettered in football. We were represented at the music contests by Elizabeth Kentopp, Jo Ann Wilson, Bernice Wallace, Sally Yoder, Betty June Turner, Frank Schemechel, Gerry Lessel, Johnny Krause, Joe Hebenstreit, Jim Hebenstreit, Vaneta Gartner, Jean Dunn, Dick Carter, Ted Boland, James Erwin, John Thompson, and Bill Keeling.

Beginning to show the polish becoming Upperclassmen, we, the Junior class elected as president, Lloyd Faller; vice president, Gerald Davis; secretary, Gerry Benschoter; treasurer, John Thompson. Those who lettered in football were Bob Bader, Otis Bauman, and Ben Woodard. Lettering in basketball were, Bernard Bennett, Otis Bauman, and Joe Hebenstreit. John Thompson was a cheerleader. Participants at the music contests were, Elizabeth Kentopp, John Thompson, James Erwin, Ted Boland, Jean Dunn, Carolyn Fiene, Joe Hebenstreit, Vivian Jackson, Gerry Lessel, Carroll Richardson, Frank Schemechel, Betty June Turner, Jo Ann Wilson, and Bill Keeling. Sally Yoder was Junior Editor on the Orange and Black staff. We presented a one-act play entitled “Almost Seventeen” the cast of which included Gerry Lessel, John Thompson, Ted Boland, and Elizabeth Kentopp. “Who Is Mrs. Chimpsie,” the Junior Class play was given May 27. Those in the cast were, Jean Dunn, Bud Jones, Gerry Lessel, Bob Stetler, Sally Yoder, John Thompson, Mildred Gilliland, Pete Frederick, Jo Ann Wilson, and Elizabeth Kentopp. We were hosts to the Senior class on May 13 at the Junior-Senior banquet. We were represented at Girls’ and Boys’ State respectively by Helen Miller, Sally Yoder, Joe Hebenstreit, Bill Huffman, and Lloyd Faller. In the Fall of 1942, the Senior Class of 1943 entered F.C.H.S., dignified and honored and elected as our class officers: Bill Keeling, president; Virgil Weber, vice president; Elizabeth Kentopp, secretary, and Joe Hebenstreit, treasurer.

We wish to express our thanks and appreciation to Miss Ickman and Mr. Hatch for their help these years in high school. SALLY YODER. 44 'P'lofiAecy My but it’s funny how time changes things! The other day we gathered for a reunion of the Class of 1943, and the differences were astonishing. For example: Our home town is no longer called Falls City, but rather Ciudad de Falls—due to the influence of Margaret Fischer, who is the instigator of the very successful Spanish Emporium. The best-loved citizen of the town has pretty well eliminated car troubles by doing away with cars. This prominent personage is none other than Dr. Huffman. ‘Slim’ says, “Walk—SLOWLY— and you’ll always get there.” The banquet for our reunion was held at the finest restaurant-club in the city— Pete’s Place. Pete made us all feel at home by greeting us at the door with, “Hello, Smiley!” Incidentally, Bernard Bennett is the bouncer at the same place. Across from us at the banquet sat Joe Hebenstreit. Joe came from Madison Square Garden where he had been exhibiting his basketball prowess for several engagements. We naturally thought Joe came back for the reunion, but were disappointed to learn he made the trip to see Skeezix. Just goes to show that man’s best friend is his dog. Mr. and Mrs. Boland sat next to us at the banquet. They are still blissfully happy after seven years of married life. After the first course was served, the program began. Jimmy Erwin’s Midget Music Makers furnished the very spectacular background for the entertainment. Katherine Dunn, soloist of another name band, gave her arrangements of several of the hit songs of today. Betty June Turner, now the city’s best dancing teacher, tapped out a few of her famous routines. Betty Ferron had an acrobatic drill from several of her gym classes. She is now the gym teacher at High School. After the musical numbers, Mr. Hatch and Miss Ickman each gave words of greeting. They are both professors at the University of Nebraska now. Our class is well represented in both the business and professional worlds: Sterling Fowler is the owner of a prosperous seed business. Vivian Jackson sells hats to the feminine population of Ciudad de Falls. Donald Dale is the super-salesman for the Sweep-it-Spic Vacuum Cleaner Company. Jim Hebenstriet owns the Cork Club —New York City’s favorite night spot. Famous—need we say more? Dick Carter is the proprietor of C. de F.’s Food Forum. His motto is: Efficient and courteous self-service. Bob Fletchall is his delivery boy. Bill Keeling and Bill Kentopp are partners in the “Ladies Look Lovely Beauty Shoppe.” They chose this novel name so that they could answer the phone with—“B.K.s’ Triple L. Good morning.” Pearl Johnson and Imogene Witt do a splendid business at the “Yes We Have It—Drugs. Gerald Davis liked being a Deacon so well that he entered the ministry. Rev. Davis is a shining example for the city’s youth. (No movement.) Virgil Weber is the calisthenics instructor at Byrn Mawr. John Thompson has replaced Bing Crosby as a popular crooner. Bob Bader is now a well-known corn-median. His monologues put audiences in stitches. Corrine Hardenburger is his capable secretary in charge of his fan-mail. Several of the instructors of the High School’s present faculty are our classmates of ’43. Imogene Kruse is the Home Economics teacher. Donald Nixon finds his time all taken as the agriculture instructor. Martin Braun teaches English. Caroline Fiene is librarian of the City Library. Marcene La Forge is her able assistant. Helene Miller is a surgeon at the Hospital for the Mentally Unbalanced. Carroll Richardson is a barber at the same institution. Elizabeth Kentopp is a nurse. An aviation expert, whom we remember as Stuka Ferguson, is trying to convince her that a home is more important than a career. Vaneta Gartner is the business administrator for a publishing company. Her secretary is Bernice Wallace. Their most recent publication is “Statistics on People Who Dislike Onions” compiled by Loretto Deckinger, Mar jean Bippes, and Letha Zimmerman. Frank Schmechel is a physician of a near-by town. David Little is a news-commentator of KMA. Margaret Wickham broadcasts household helps from the same station. Esther Mez plays her horn in the KMA orchestra. Jean Hatfield is a card shark. She has just won the Nebraska Bridge Championship. Prominent in the social world are two ex-Falls Citians. They are both members of the Wives of Hinky-Dinky Club. We remember them as Sally Yoder and Betty Ramsey. Norine Anderson returned to Kansas after graduation to be the Someone’s Little Homemaker. Jo Ann Wilson is married to a “man of the sea.” She states that it is wonderful being a Navy-Wife. Ailene Oliver still thinks the Army is tops. Little wonder, her husband is a private in the Army. Mary Beckner is now a resident of Walt Hill. She was recently married to the mayor of that town. Betty Jane Lichty and Lila Kottich are social workers in Ciudad. They are trying to better the conditions of cats and unpedigreed dogs. The people of the town wait for a late mail. Donald Brecht is the mailman. Dale Peck spends most of his time whistling at red-heads — woodpeckers. You see he is a taxidermist. Johnny Krause is now a man-about-town in Hollywood. June Shaw is trying to decide whether she wants to live in Verdon or Hiawatha. Elmer Arnold is the editor of the Daily Rag. Mildred Gilliland is his ace reporter. Robert Scholl is the printer’s devil. At the present Robert Liebsch is in the circus business training monkeys. Margaret Combs is driving a jeep in the WAAC’s. Running close competition to “B.K.’s Triple L. is Dot-a-Bell’s Beauty Saloon owned and operated by Dorothy Beutler. Bernice Duerfeldt is an Air Stewardess on the same plane that Edgar Halt-erman pilots. Marvin Zimmerman is the photographer in Ciudad de Falls. We can only report that Lester Fisher is a great scientist—his work is unknown to the general public. Raymond Lollman is his associate. Nellie Parker is peacefully settled in the Land of Sunshine. Robert Schaible is proprietor of the Farmer’s Friend Cream Station. Jim McArdle is the speedy bell-hop at the Grand Hotel. Mary Ellen Schlos-ser is the hostess at the same place. Dorothy Martin is a clerk in the Do Alot Store. On the side she is financing the publication of Mildred Cornford’s recipe book. Joyce McMullen does the office work for Kathryn Wittrock’s Taxi Service. Lucille Scholl is one of her best drivers. Rider Stockdale is trying to find the universal solvent. We wonder what he’ll put it in after he finds it? Gerry K. Lessel has started a movement to abolish middle names, and through the movement has gotten another name. This is a brief summary of the accomplishments, lives, and whereabouts of the Class of 1943. GERRY K. LESSEL NELLIE M. PARKER Tifctt We of the Senior Class of 1943, being of sound bodies and weak minds, do hereby advise, bequeath, assign et cetera, our estate and possessions to-wit: To Mr. Starkebaum we leave an invitation to speak more often in Assembly. It seems nice to see you pacing that floor now and then. To Mr. Sympson we leave a pad and pencil, on which we wish he’d write a manusc:ipt of all the interesting experiences he has had. We’ve all listened to them and liked them, so now why doesn’t he write a book. To Mr. Cummins we leave an ample supply of defense stamps—we hear he sells them to gum-chewers. To Miss Cochrane we leave a trust fund to cover the expense of having her corns cured. To Mrs. Kline we leave all the coffee ration coupons of those seniors who don’t drink coffee—that is, if the O.P.A. doesn’t object. To Miss Ickman we leave a ten-pound bag of sugar—it’s so pleasant to smell those baking cookies—only we wish she’d pass them around, also a dozen cards of nice, new straight pins—they’re pretty rare now, so she’s sure to appreciate them. To Miss Wieland we leave the genius of the underclassmen, hoping that they can figure out those Trig, problems without the awful headaches we always had. To Miss Betz we leave such great names as Prater, Burton, McKelvy, et cetera, knowing she’ll be able to pull them through one more year. To Mr. Hatch we leave a shiny silver star to wear on his lapel—he’s done quite well in policing first floor these past years and we think he deserves a medal. To Mrs. DeWald we leave the various sets of encyclopedias, dictionaries, and other reference material. For her willing help and valuable suggestions we will always be grateful. To Miss Shook we leave a new set of beautiful tires—(not retreads either). All we ask in return is a ride in that snappy little car. To Miss Sheehan we leave a lovely, leather bound copy of “Silas Marner”— his memory shall ever haunt us. To Miss Jorn we leave only our thanks and appreciation for being such a grand teacher. To Miss Fase, we leave nine new typewriters (preferably L. C. Smiths) to replace those taken by the government. To Mr. Boswell we leave a new set of equipment — great scientists will break some now and then you know. To Miss Sympson we leave the coming History students to be coped with—we hope they don't prove as annoying as we did. To Coach Brown we leave the remnants of the ’43 basketball team knowing that ’44 will be his lucky year. To Mrs. Hahn we leave those awful green gym suits, hoping the coming classes won’t have to endure them. To the various classes: To the Juniors we leave our positions (dignified of course) as seniors of this, our Alma Mater. To the Sophomores we leave hearty congratulations—just think, you’re upper classmen now! To the Freshmen we leave only a ray of hope. Courage, comrades—the best is yet to come. Norine Anderson wills her honorable position as queen to some lucky Junior— preferably a blonde, such as—but, we won’t go into that. Elmer Arnold wills his quiet studious way to Bud Boher. Bob Bader wills his rosy blush to any under-classman needing some modesty. Mary Beckner wills her fur coat to most any under classman—you’ll have to fight it out girls. Bernard Bennett wills his instinctive nature for trouble to any underclassman desiring excitement. Dorothy Beutler wills her pleasant nature to Dorothy Gartner. Marjean Bippes wills her appealing way and accumulation of facts to Mary Lee Stout. Ted Boland wills his position as student manager to some ambitious Junior— we hope he’ll prove as capable and efficient. Martin Braun wills his “C” card to Barb Windle—the way she packs that car calls for lots of gas. Donald Brecht leaves Rosalie to carry on the family name. Richard Carter leaves his crop of hair to those shaven Juniors — the Marines don’t go for that long stuff you know. Margaret Combs leaves for Iowa City, guess who’s there — his first name is Johnny. Mildred Cornford leaves to join the “WAVES”—I guess they’re going to keep it a naval family. Donald Dale leaves his love for sleep to Charlie Jones—there’s a rumor that he keeps late hours, but not alone—could her name be Betsy? Gerald Davis wills his grin to Buzz Heasley—not that he needs it. Loretta Deckinger wills her straight shoulders to Beverly Larson. Bernice Duerfeldt wills her pretty brown eyes to Lorraine Ankro m— wouldn’t they be nice with her hair? Jean Dunn leaves brother Jimmie— Marian left Jean, Jean leaves Jimmie— Gosh will they never be “dunn.” Katherine Dunn leaves for Memphis, and she’s not going down to get a suntan. James Erwin leaves all the height willed him in the last four years to Jere Calahan—we hope Jere makes it. Betty Ferron wills her place as an upperclassman to Norma Jean McCarty —she’ll carry on in high style, we’re sure. Carolyn Fiene wills her shyness to Nancy Carter. Margaret Fischer wills her silky golden hair to an underclassman desiring glamour. Lester Fisher wills his History ability to Bob Prater. Miss Betz is sure to appreciate it. Bob Fletchall leaves Betty Kreitzer to the care and protection of old F.C.H.S. James (Stuka) Ferguson leaves his love for aviation to Billy Dunn—we hear he draws as many planes in Study Hall as Stuka. Dwight Frederick wills his neat arrangement of the St. Louis Blues to Marjory “make with the music” Arendt. Vaneta Gartner wills her short crisp curls to Mary Alice (Veronica) Gall. Mildred Gilliland leaves Mary Lou to carry on the Gilliland scholastic record. Edgar Halterman wills his droll manner to Billy Carter—now maybe Bill will get some laughs. Corrine Hardenberger wills her sweet smile to her alma mater. Jean Hatfield leaves Ronald Metzger —poor fellow—hope he’ll be good his last year. James Hebenstreit, better known as “Jivin’ Hebe” wills his wailing saxophone tones to Tom Burton. Maybe this will earn for Tom the title, “Boogie Burton.” Joe Hebenstreit leaves his captainship to Ted Wing—he’ll come through all right —a “Wing” never lets you down. Bill Huffman wills his unerring ability to be tardy to Ben Denison—but then Ben has set up a pretty good record already. Vivian Jackson wills her typing speed to Nancy King—but don’t worry, she’ll make it. Pearl Johnson wills her height to Phyllis Lundy—better get together girls. Bill Keeling wills those beautiful broad shoulders to Dave Duey—they’re sure to make Dave the outstanding football star of ’44. Elizabeth and Bill Kentopp leave, and with them go that Buick and Chivie respectively—gosh, think of the underclassmen who'll have to walk—and shoe rationing makes it even tougher. Lila Kottich leaves sister Violet “all alone and lonely.” Johnny Krause leaves his marcell, (God-given) to John Ivan McKelvy. Imogene Kruse leaves her quiet soothing voice to Blanche “Bijou” Cain. Marcene LaForge leaves that “curvaceous” figure to Ann Stednitz. Gerry L e s s e 1 wills her Chemistry equipment (such as it is) to some scientifically minded Junior—his genius, we know will not excell Gerry’s. Betty Jane Lichty wills her shorthand ability to Betty Jo Farmer. Robert Liebsch leaves that lumbering stride to Ingram (tripping thro’ the daisies) Yoder. David Little wills his ability to stay out of trouble to Bob Miller and Marvin Wilson. Raymond Lollmann leaves Patricia, she’s invaluable as a source of supplies (ink, blotters, etc.) for certain of the freshmen. Dorothy Martin leaves Lucille White-sell to carry on the commercial standards. Joyce McMullen leaves with Letha Zimmerman—in together, out together— that’s their motto. Jimmie McArdle wills his scholastic abilities to Bud Mitchell. Esther Mez leaves, as quietly as she came in. Helene Miller leaves those amazing grades to be matched by—well, who’ll volunteer? Aileen Oliver leaves Donna—that was a short but intriguing friendship. Nellie Parker leaves her upsweep hair-do to Connie Larson—we think it would be quite flattering. Dale Peck leaves the ag. boys—to bad Mr. Hatch can’t have more like him. Betty Ramsey leaves her tap shoes to Norma Lee Hey—she’s an up and coming little dancer—(just ask Mrs. Hahn.) Carroll Richardson leaves Gene Dil-dine to carry on his mischief; (ah, me— C. O.’s boy is gone forever!) Robert Schaible wills his books and pencils to any new freshman desiring them—Bob’s headed for Blackies with all scholastic thoughts far behind him. Mary Ellen Schlosser wills her stack of shorthand notebooks to an underclassman anticipating trouble with all those hen scratches. Frank Schmechel leaves Carol and “Red” Wittrock to walk to school without his pleasant companionship. Lucille Scholl wills her ability at Home Economics to Helen Ruth Frehese —those sailors really like to eat, Fresh- sey. June Shaw wills her place in the old institution to Marian Kieffer. We know she’ll carry on. Robert Scholl wills his courteous way to Ralph (Bear) Wulf. Rider Stockdale leaves “Noel” only a memory — he’s “deep in the heart of Texas” by now. John Thompson wills his position as cheerleader to any underclassman desiring exercise—of both the muscles and the voice. Betty June Turner wills her wasp waistline to Pat Von Aken. Bernice Wallace wills her catchy giggle to Grace Biles—not that she needs it. Virgil Weber wills his bulldog haircut and bass voice to Cornell Arendt—it’ll make a man of you Corney. Margaret Wichkham wills her good memory to some prospective Junior having bad dreams over those History dates. Jo Ann Wilson wills those flashy red slacks to Delpha Haeffle—Jo Ann’s more interested in blue slacks now—they have more of a nautical touch. Imogene Witt leaves Mrs. Hahn without an archer who can hit the Bullseye. Kathryn Wittrock leaves her natural wave to Marian Falloon—now Marian won’t have to worry when it rains. Ben Woodard leaves his civilian clothes to gather dust, for now he’s “way beyond the hills of Idaho”—in a sailor suit— U.S.A. style. Sally Yoder leaves Betsy tooting the clarinet that’s making them both famous —Sally’s off to Lincoln, you know, to look after her various interests. Letha Zimmerman leaves with Joyce as has been said before. Marvin Zimmerman leaves his sleek combed hair to Ronnie Studor.

His keen ability as coach, his friendly cooperation with students, faculty, and patrons, keeps him in high esteem in the community. Though reputed to be the worst of all seasons in F.C.H.S. football history, the past season nevertheless has had its exciting moments. Some of which were: (a) the triple fumble in the Pawnee game that allowed them to win their first and only game. (b) the surge of the second team boys at the close of the Auburn game. Guard Virgil Weber (first team) played the hardest though injured. (c) the stalwart defense F.C. put up against the N.E. Rocket Steamroller. (d) when the extra point was called back in the Nebraska City game which could have won the game. (e) the marvelous steamroller F.C. found for one night and which hammered tije highly touted Fairbury Jeffs into the ground. Even with Bob Korte storming out on passes, we held on to win the only game of the season. (f) the surge of F.C. in the Creighton Prep game which found us on their one-foot line. Big Paul Sailors was instrumental in this movement. (g) F.C. will never forget Bob “Ace” Bader’s run which kept an inevitable touchdown from happening in the last game (Hiawatha). Fullback Arnold of Hiawatha was way out in the open after a quick break through the line. Bader, though far behind, sprinted in a fast dash and dragged the Hiawathan down near the 10-yard line. From then on F.C. stiffened and held to end the game at 0-0 tie. This ended the season with five losses, two ties and one win. The Tiger basketeers under the capable leadership of Captain Joe Heben-streit marked up 11 wins in 15 games. The most thrilling game was our win over Lincoln N.E. at a score of 29-26. The most thrilling lose was to Creighton Prep in an overtime, the margin of three points, 28-25. Captain Joe can be especially acclaimed for his cool leadership under fire. The Southeastern conference was cinched for the ninth consecutive time, and the tenth time in 11 years. We were defeated twice by Fairbury, once in a scheduled game 40-27 and in finals of regionals at Auburn. We lost there 33-24. Other games lost were Creighton Prep 28-25 overtime and Lincoln High 31-17. We outscored our opponents 340-265 points in scheduled games. Including the regionals the points were F.C. 449 to our opponents 342. Back Row: Coach Brown, Tom Burton, Carroll Richardson, Charles Stump. Bill Huffman, Bob Bader, Ted Boland.
