We spent endless hours wandering around looking for classrooms and many other things which became very familiar to us as the months went by. We will not admit, though, that we didn’t exactly know which way to start or what to do because we were only Freshies. We soon discovered that we weren’t alone, because we met many other companions beginning the same journey. Among them were Miss Wieland, and Mr. Boswell, who had been appointed as travel guides of our Freshman troop. One of our group, Charles Stump, lettered both in basketball and football. The following girls received their first awards for their interest and cooperation in high school activities: Rholene Hermann, Pat Chaffee, Lois Keeling, Nancy Carter, Joan Bock, Peg Thomas, Bonnie Nelson, Norma Lee Hey and Fala Bowers. Because of the heat, travel became impossible so we decided to rest until fall. When we began again in September of 1943, we went forward believing, now that we were old hands, that things would go a lot better this year, (but that was before we became better acquainted with our Biology course.) We hadn’t gone far when it was suggested that we elect leaders so at a class meeting we chose: President, Dorothy Boland; Vice-president, Willard Gelwick; secretary-treasurer, Delma Jones. We took part in various activities. Our class was represented at the District Music contest by Norma Ankrom, Marjorie Arendt, Hilda Carlyon, Dorothy Boland. LaRhue Fisher, Margaret Goldsmith, Ingram Yoder and Pat Chaffee. Sophmore G.A.A. girls receiving their first local awards were Donna Mae Hilgenfeld and Carol Kentopp. Those who earned the second local awards were Pat Chaffee, Lois Keeling, Nancy Carter, Peg Thomas, Bonnie Nelson, Norma Lee Hey, Fala Bowers and Ro-lene Hermann. Norma Lee Hey was elected as an officer of the G.A.A. Jim Dunn represented our class as cheer leader. We were also well represented in sports: Cecil Bennett, Willard Gelwick and Charles Stump lettering in football, and Willard Gelwick in basketball. With all these achievements we showed that besides gaining in intelligence, we had begun to appreciate that on this journey of life there is a great need of service, leadership and cooperation of all. We traveled on until one day we came to this sign, “Three month’s vacation; detour to Junior Highway.” The next year we met together and elected as our leaders Hilda Carlyon, president; Duane Tubach, vice-president; and Pat Babb, secretary-treasurer. John Zorn and Norma Ankrom were elected to serve on the Student Council. Again we were well represented in the various organizations. The first local award was presented to Hilda Carlyon; second local awards were presented to Donna Mae Hilgenfeld and Carol Kentopp. The G.A.A. first state award went to Pat Chaffee, Lois Keeling, Nancy Carter, Joan Bock, Peg Thomas, Bonnie Nelson and Norma Lee Hey. Norma Hey again served as an officer of the G.A.A. The class selected Marge Arendt as the Junior cheerleader. Willard Gelwick, Cecil Bennett, John Zorn and Kenneth Morehead lettered in football; Willard Gelwick and Joe Gillis-pie in basketball. Ingram Yoder, Donna Mae Hilgenfeld, Lois Keeling, Norma Ankrom and Margaret ' Goldsmith represented us at the state district declamatory contest at which Margaret Goldsmith was chosen as the outstanding actress in Class A. The Junior play, “Faith!, Hope and Flarity,” was presented under the direction of Miss Margaret Malone, December 8, with the cast: Mary Lee Stout, Peggy Thomas, Carl France, Willard Gelwick, Margaret Goldsmith, Neal Scheitel, Norma Ankrom, Duane Tubach, Tom Kallos, Marge Arendt, Dewaine Pupkes, Marvin Scheitel and Pat Babb. At the District Music Contest, we were well represented by Norma Ankrom, Marge Arendt, Anna Marie Bolay, Hilda Carlyon, LaRhue Fisher, Willard Gelwick, Margaret Goldsmith, Dorothy Boland and Bettie Jahns. We stopped off at the Prichard Auditorium one evening to give a banquet to our upper classmen, all of whom were planning to leave us to travel on foreign highways. After overcoming all obstacles, including final exams, we took that annual rest again and looked forward to the last and most important quarter of our course. In the Fall of 1945, we walked into our school as seniors. We felt differently toward Falls City High School and our classmates than we had in the Fall of 1942. With a sadness in our hearts, we realized that this was our last year, so we decided to make the most of it. First we elected our leaders to guide us along the final miles of our journey—Bob Eckwert, president; Ingram Yoder, vice-president, and Yola Brown, secretary-treasurer. Pat Chaffee, LaRhue Fisher, Mary Lee Stout, Peg Thomas, and Ingram Yoder went to the Music Clinic. Marge Arendt continued as the cheerleader from our class. Willard Gelwick, Kenneth Morehead, Marvin Scheitel, Neal Scheitel, Ben Spears, Edgar Steele, Kenneth Wittrock, Rae Cochran and John Zorn lettered in football: Marvin Scheitel, Bob Eckwert, and Willard Gelwick lettered in basketball. Our journey was nearing its end rapidly, and in the spring, Margaret Goldsmith, Lois Keeling, Beverly Larson, Norma Ankrom and Pat Chaffee represented us at the state declamatory contest. We were also well represented at the district music contest by Norma Ankrom, Marge Arendt, Anna Marie Bolay, Yola Brown, Hilda Carlyon, Pat Chapman, LaRhue Fisher, Willard Gelwick, Margaret Goldsmith, Bettie Jahns, Janice Klotzbach and Audre Williams. The following girls received their 2nd State Award: Rolene Hermann, Pat Chaffee, Nancy Carter, Carol Kentopp, Bonnie Nelson, Peg Thomas, and Joan Bock. Bernice Brown, Nelle Runyan, and Hilda Carlyon received their 1st State Award. The Senior play, “Spring Green,” under the direction of Mrs. Kent Morgan, was presented May 3, at the Senior High Auditorium. The cast consisted of Ingram Yoder, Jake Spears, Hilda Carlyon, Nelle Runyan, Myron Whitten, Norma Ankrom, Edgar Steele, Jack Hayden. Pat Chaffee, Arlene Clausen, Bill Gelwick, Neal Scheitel, Marvin Scheitel, Audre Williams, and Donna Mae Hil-genfeld. We were the guests of the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet held May 10 at the Prichard Auditorium. Our journey was completed on May 23, when we received our diplomas and stepped out into the world, ready for the future and whatever it held for us. NORMA ANKROM Class Will We, the class of 1946, have enjoyed our four years of high school beyond measure. Our experiences with fellow students in classrooms and social gatherings were mutually enjoyable and helpful. The council and instruction of our teachers was uplifting and inspiring. Since we can not take them with us we desire to make the following will: To Mr. Starkebaum we leave a book on moving pictures, in hopes that the under-classmen will enjoy those 10 minute reels as much as we did. To Mr. Sympson we leave a new Senior class. We thank him for his many favors. To Mr. Boswell, who is always reading while on second floor hall duty, we leave a new set of Kansas City Times, out of which he gets his weather predictions. To Coach Tolly, we leave all our height and weight to his basketball and football teams. To Miss Sympson and Miss Betz we leave a new voice to use during the long, cold winter months. To Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Hahn we leave our thanks for their help in all our activities. To Mr. Hatch, we leave a blue striped shirt—providing that in the future he will dress more carefully. To Mrs. Kline, we leave a package of grape gum—her favorite kind—to add to the collection of other “wads” which she has forced out of many of her gum-chewing students. To Mr. Cummins we leave new seniors to traipse in and out of his room eating “Cheese-its,” “cookies,” “candy” and other vitamin giving food as they come and go. To Miss Wieland we leave a shorter way to work those Algebra problems so we can save our paper. To Miss Jorn and Miss Sheehan we leave a complete set of new library books so they won’t have to listen to the same old book reports. To Mr. Parde we leave our sincere thanks for the splendid band and orchestra—and also some new pieces for the dance band. To Miss Brehm we leave a sextette in hopes it will be as good as our seven.

Gilda Sailors leaves the halls ringing with “Ebe-Abbe-Leba.” Class Prophecy Leading scientists of the world stationed in San Francisco have developed a new type of radar plane which will fly 15 years into the future. To prove the success of the plane, we, Sue Martin, Arlene Clausen, and Margaret Goldsmith, have volunteered to conduct an experiment. In order to do this we have decided to look into the lives of our 1946 class mates as they would be in 1960. The pilot of our ship is Tom Kallos who found this occupation less hazardous than his former profession of comedian since he had too many narrow escapes from rotten eggs. Our first visit is with Benny Spears and John Zorn, renowned bridge artists, who are now touching up the Golden Gate in rainbow colors. At the same time—and place, we see our old friend, Audre Williams, who has devoted her life to counting freckles—guess whose? No tour would be complete without a trip to Hollywood. Among the stars whom we meet is Kenny Wittrock of 20th Century Wolf Productions. The girls are all swooning over his “Puppy-Dog Eyes.” Herbert Robertson, King of the Cowboys, is on location now, rescuing his fair heroine, Pat Chaffee. Also in Hollywood are Beverly Larson and Gilda Sailors, the famous comedy team, staging a comeback for vaudeville. On the same bill is Lois Keeling who brings the show to a halt with her renditions of “Night and Day” and “One Alone.” Booking Agent for the three Falls Citians is Fala Bowers. After leaving Hollywood, we cruise until night-time, then land at a small desert town. We walk over to the police station to inquire about lodgings and meet Norma Ankrom, ..Calamity Ank,” who is the chief of police in this ghost town. Hidden Gulch. On her force is Duane Pupkes noted for arresting motorists for driving too slowly. Before reaching Falls City, we drop into the hamlet of Podunk Center to look over the “Like-it-or-Lump-it” Matrimonial Agency run by the town’s favorite “Casanova,” Bill Gelwick. Bill sends out pictures of Marge Arendt and Carol Ken-topp to attract the prospective male customers, but to date, Bill has received more proposals than anyone else in his files. Bill’s agency is so popular that he needs two secretaries so he employs Delma Jones and Gertrude Biedenweg. Across the street from the agency is the butcher shop owned by Gerald Gerlt, and next door, William Quigley’s barber shop, specializing in shaping sideburns. While roaming around in the upper stratosphere, we look in on the home of “Beecie” Brown who lives on a ranch in Idaho, raising little “taters.” After circling our old home town of Falls City, we land in the new and improved airport of the thriving metropolis. We pause to drink a coke before going on with our tour of the city and enter the lunch room on the airport where we meet Yola Brown. Yola tells us that she is on her way to New York to sign a contract with C.B.S. to appear in television broadcasts. While there we also meet Coleen Ogg and Patsy Smith who are now wives of the wealthy co-owners of the airport. We jump in a cab and find our driver is Anna Marie Bolay, who owns the Taxi Service in Falls City. She tells that others who operate cabs in her employ are Donald Prichard, Cecil Bindrum and Jack Hayden, who is called out especially for the quick calls. On the side, Jack runs a golf course—without any ditches—Sha-zam! We feel it a necessity to wire into our home office at San Francisco to let them know we have come half-way across the country without mishap. We find the local Western Union Telegraph office and immediately recognize the manager to be our old classmate, Bob Eckwert, the original “Dit-dit-dot” boy. Messengers for the company are Myron Whitten and Victor Karst who became bored with farm life—but not so friends Marvy Scheitel, David Weinert, and Kenneth Yoesel, who have devoted their lives to raising prize heifers. The favorite hot spot in Falls City is “Pat’s Patio,” owned and operated by Patty Babb. Chris Horn is the bus-boy at the establishment and Neal Scheitel is the distinguished head waiter. The houselights dim and the spotlight centers upon the famous Robin Thompson and his “One Man Band.” He is aided by Peggy Thomas on the trumpet. After all, Robin can’t do everything. Making a name for herself with Maestro Thompson is Bettie Jahns. After Bettie finishes her second chorus, Pat “The Legs” Chapman taps her way to the middle of the floor. The next morning we visit Montgomery Ward’s, where we see Duane Tubach. The firm found him such an asset to their company that he was made manager of the local store. Working for him is William Chestnut who earns his living by testing mattresses—a little softer than history desks. Employed as salesgirls are Norma Lee Bauer, Nadine Corning and Mary Goltz. Louise Bachman has established “Louise’s Candy Kitchen.” Selling Bonbons and cashew clusters for Louise are Helen Braun, Darlene Mott, and Nelle Runyan. Lately LaRhue Fisher has been concentrating all her efforts on her cello playing, but the neighbors wish she would sello her cello. Rae Cochran is operating a thriving real estate agency. His enormous income is increasing by the sale of acreages on the moon. On the street we meet Kenny More-head who is running—no, not a fish market—a Ford garage. Another place of business is the Seedy Seed Company, owned and operated by the great corn tycoon, Bob Ebel. Next we look in at the city library which is run by Donna Mae Hilgenfeld. Donna became so tired of waiting for her ride every night, that she decided to take a permanent position there. In comes Hilda Carlyon who, after all these years, has been promoted from assistant jani-tress of the wastebasket detail to chief janitress of the library. We hop in our plane next morning and fly off to Lincoln where Nancy Carter has a responsible position in the insane asylum, carrying soup to nuts. Ambulance drivers for the institution are Carl France and Edgar Steele. Joe Gillispie made such a good record in the Navy, that he was given the rating of Rear Admiral in the Nebraska Navy. John Chesley is now a captain in the army. Next morning we decide to take off for Washington, D. C. As we have obtained passes, we attend a session in the Senate where Senator Jake Spears is in the climax of the Spears-Betz debates, comparable to the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Their topic is, “Should girls be Stout or otherwise?” We arrive in New York just in time for Ingram Yoder’s debut at Carnegie Hall. Ingie is to leave the next day for India where he will attempt to bring culture to the natives through his music. Next morning we feel the need of a new hair-do, so we call for an appointment at Joan Bock’s swank salon, but find that the famous hair-stylist is trying out her new creations on the natives of Cukemonga. Associated with Joan is Bonnie Nelson, the originator of the up-swept hairdo. Assistant is Mary Alice Franklin. The eminent authoress, Mary Lee Stout, has just written a new book, “How to Beat the Peroxide Shortage.” Sales people for her popular book are Rolene Hermann and Marjorie Schmitt. Before we take our report back to San Francisco, we drop in on Mrs. Ethelbert Abercrombie Chumpfilwiddy, the former Janice Klotzbach, who entertains us in her Park Avenue penthouse. Jan married Mr. C. because she found Klotzbach too hard to pronounce. Having taken stock of our classmates of 1946, we compile our reports and return to our original starting point.

Fun and Foolishness “Gerry and Norma sat one night, Thinking up these jokes so bright, If you think the lines don’t fit, It is all due to their half-wit.” Mrs. Kline — “Where is there a change in the atmosphere of this poem?” Jack Hayden—“In the fourth part where it begins to rain.” Miss Betz—“How long did the Thirty Year’s War last?” Dwaine Pupkes—“Oh, about sixteen years.” Conductor—“Your fare, miss.” Bernice Brown—“Oh, do you really think so?” Kenneth Morehead—“I’m the big gun in this school.” Father—“Then why don’t I hear a little better report?” Myron Whitten—“Do you serve lobsters here?” Waiter — “Oh, we serve anybody.” Marvin Scheitel (strolling in the country saw a sign)—“This road takes you to Omaha.” After sitting on the sign for 2 hours Marvin said, “I wonder when the blame thing is going to start.” We have been thinking that some of these jokes ought to be printed on tissue paper so that the Freshmen could see through them. Tom Pollard was asked to explain the meaning of “the quick and the dead.” “Well, the man that gets out of the way of the automobile is quick and him that doesn’t is dead.” Pat Chapman—“What are you shining your shoes for? I thought you wore patent leather shoes.” Hilda Carlyon—“I do, but the patent has expired.” Beverly Larson—“The more I study the less I know.” Gilda Sailors—“Why you must study all the time.” Janice Klotzbach—“My, but that popcorn smells good.” Web Todd—“Let’s move a little closer so we can smell it better.” Miss Shook—“This plant belongs to the begonia family.” Doug Brenner—“And are you taking care of it while they are gone.” Miss Betz—“Can you tell me why Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence?” Robert Ebel — “Because he couldn’t afford a stenographer.” You can always tell a Senior by his sedately dress, You can always tell a Junior by the way he swells his chest, You can always tell a Freshman by his timid looks and such, You can always tell a Sophomore, but you cannot tell him much. Mrs. DeWald — “Benjamin, will you be quiet for a bit?” Benny Spears—“No, but I will for two bits.” Mr. Boswell (in Chemistry lab)— “Now, class, I am going to do a very important experiment which is dangerous. The whole thing may explode. Come closer so you can follow it.” Heard at the Junior Play— Mrs. Morgan—“Quick, George, run up the curtain.” George Durfee—“Say, what do you think I am, a squirrel?” Marge Arendt—“Have you ever read ‘To A Field Mouse’?” Jack Oslin—“Why no! How do you get them to listen?” Mrs. Kline—“Why do you always scratch your head when I call on you?” Bob Burton—“Cause I’m the only one that knows it itches.” Mr. Sympson—“Rae, what do you intend to be when you graduate from high school?” Rae Cochran—“An old man.” Roger Ankrom—“I couldn’t get my Latin today.” Miss Simpson—“Why not, Roger?” Roger—“Cause no one else had it.” Jere Callahan—“I don’t think I deserve a zero on this test.” Miss Wieland—“I don’t either, but that was the lowest I could give you.” Tom Kallos—“Would you care to go to the Senior Play?” Nancy Carter—“Why, I guess so—” Tom—“All right—buy your ticket from me.” Carol Kentopp—“I’ve mind.” Miss Ickman—“Well, does it work any better?” Merle Metz—“That’s funny.” Mr. Cummins—“What’s funny?” Merle—“Oh, I was just thinking.” Mr. Cummins—“Well, that is funny.' Mr. Hatch—“What is the easiest way to drive a nail without smashing your fingers?” Kenny Wittrock—“Hold the hammer in both hands.” John Zorn—“Norma, I live just across the river from you now.” Norma Ankrom—“Is that so; I hope you will drop in some day.” Bob Eckwert (skidded on the icy sidewalk and gracefully slid ten yards). Hilda Carlyon—“What’s that, a new dance?” Bob—“Yes, that’s the ‘Cement Walk’.” Willy Ebel—“It’s impossible to think with the noise of these typewriters.” Miss Fase—“Why blame it on the typewriters?” Mary Lee Stout—“How close were you to the right answer?” Jake Spears—“About two seats away.” Ingram Yoder (opening his pupils violin case) — “Oh, mercy, you forgot your bow.” Joan Sargent—“Well, I seldom bring my beau for a violin lesson.” Margaret Goldsmith—“Why did they let him throw that basket?” Bill Gelwick—“That was a free goal.” Margaret—“How many do they give the visiting team?” We would tell you more, but all you’d do is laugh. h e a President, Norma Ankrom; Vice President, Charles McLaughlin; Secretary, Peggy Thomas The Dance Band First row: Audre Williams, vocalist; Jack Gates, saxophone; Tom Pollard, saxophone; Neta Kjeldsen, saxophone; Audrey Kennedy, saxophone; Dave Brenner, drums; Florence Seegar, piano.

Coach Tolly Coach Tolly came through again to win the conference for the thirteenth time. He started with only two veterans and developed a team that threatened the stronger teams of the state. Bob Dunn Gerald Jackson Jim Conn Cheer Leaders Barbara Martin Marge Arendt Barbara Yoder BENNY SPEARS Senior, End. “Spots” was a good end to send down under long passes, one of which was a touchdown. He kept the team spirit up when it threatened to sag. EDGAR STEELE Senior, Guard. One of the most improved players on the team. He kept after the ball no matter where it was. CHAD TAYLOR Sophomore Back. Chad was fast and hard to catch when he had the ball. BOB TITUS Junior, Back and End. Bob switched from end to back in mid-season because of injuries and starred with many long runs. WEB TODD Junior, Tackle. Web did our kicking-off besides playing a good tackle. He will be back next year. JIM WADDLE Sophomore, Back. Jim was our punter and passer along with running. He has two more years to play. KENNETH WITTROCK Senior, Guard. Wittrock was a bulwark on defense and added conference honors to his credit. JOHN ZORN Senior, Center, Co-captain. John was outstanding and one of the best centers in years. He won honorable mention all-state besides the all conference. He was our signal-caller. BUD WERNER Sophomore, Student Manager. Bud did a fine job with the team “bossing” and carried the water out in fine style. HAROLD BOSWELL Sophomore, Guard. Boswell got to play but little, but showed his willingness to mix it up when he got in. BOB BURTON Junior, End. “Head’s” shoestring tackles and pass catching made him outstanding on the field. BOB DUEY Junior, Tackle. Duey was eager and got his chance in the Hiawatha game. He proved that there will be a good line next year. BILL FARMER Freshman, End. Bill was one of the few Freshmen to letter in history, he should go far in the next three years. BILL GELWICK Senior, End. Hurt in the first game, Bill filled in as assistant manager. JOHNNY MEYERS Junior, Tackle. Johnny also got to start at Hiawatha and proved that there will be no tackle trouble next year. KENNETH MOREHEAD Senior, Back, Co-captain. “Kenny” was a good handler of the spinner and added conference honors to his record. JACK OSLIN Junior, Back. Jack was our most consistant ground-gaining back and will be back next year. He had conference honors. MARVIN SCHEITEL Senior, Back. First year out. He showed good defense and offense ability. He had conference honors. NEAL SCHEITEL Tackle. Neal often got a hold of the opponent for losses. Neal had the distinction of a lineman scoring a touchdown. He is a Senior. Football Season The season started out as a poor one with two straight defeats. With only three veterans, Coach Tolly did one of the best building jobs ever done to bring the season to an end with another defeat although tied by Auburn. Then with three regulars out of the final, the replacements came through and Falls City finished its season in victory. Pawnee 13—Falls City 0 Falls City’s offense seemed to bog down within sight of the goal. It was an even game most of the way. Lincoln Northeast 7—Falls City 0 Again Falls City bogged down in front of the goal, this time one yard away. The team outplayed the heavier and favored team from the capitol city. Falls City 14—Beatrice 0 Falls City outplayed the Orangemen completely except for a brief period before the balf and won without too much trouble. Falls City 20—Tecumseh 6 The Falls City offense and defense was clicking and the Tigers won handily. Falls City 7—Nebraska City 6 The Tigers outplayed the Pioneers completely in everything but the score, which they edged out by M. Scheitel’s blocking the point tried by Nebraska City. Oslin’s run after catching a pass scored for Falls City. Falls City 6—Auburn 6 The Bengals title hopes flew out of the window in this tie. It was a closely fought game. Falls City 13—Fairbury 6 After spoting the Jeffs 6 points, the Tigers came back with a rush to get the lead. Then they went on to score again to ice the game. Falls City 7—Hiawatha 0 Falls City scored early by Oslin’s pass-catching to set up the score. M. Scheitel scored and Titus ran the point. Then the Tigers had their hands full keeping Hiawatha from scoring. The peppiest pep you’ve ever seen. Aah! Four o’clock! What’s the trouble, boys? Friends. Our bicycle boy. Familiar sight. Hubba! Smile pretty now. Who said there was a man shortage? BOB BURTON Junior, Forward. Bob was second in scoring despite missing the first two games with a football injury. He found his eye in the latter part of the season. BOB ECKWERT Senior, Forward. Bob was an able replacement and did a lot for his height. (Which he had little of.) BILL GELWICK Senior, Center. Bill missed the last three games because of an injury to his previous football injury. He was named all-conference Center and elected Honorary-Captain. GERALD JACKSON Junior, Guard. Gerald was a good defensive guard and saw action quite often. JACK OSLIN Junior, Guard. Jack directed the offense and was bulwark on defense. He was named all-conference guard and never got rattled when the action was hot. TOMMY POLLARD Junior, Guard. Tom was a good shot and saw a lot of action and he started in six different games. Coach Tolly came through again to win the conference for the thirteenth time. He started with only two veterans and developed a team that threatened the stronger teams of the state. 1945-46 Box Scores Falls City—34 Pawnee City .......26 Falls City—37 York ..............31 Falls City—36 Auburn ............19 Falls City—40 Nebraska City......11 Falls City—30 Tecumseh ..........29 Falls City—16 Hiawatha ..........15 Falls City—28 Beatrice ..........16 Falls City—-27 Sacred Heart ......15 Falls City—33 Fairbury ..........27 Falls City—32 Nebraska City .....34 Falls City—33 Lincoln Northeast..32 Falls City—39 Auburn ............18 Falls City—19 Creighton Prep ....34 Falls City—24 Lincoln Central ...37 Falls City—36 Hiawatha ..........40 Regional Tournament Falls City—23 Lincoln Northeast..30 Total..484 Total.............414 MARVIN SCHEITEL Senior, Guard. Marvin was needed for his height that he had and played quite a little and was always ready when called upon. BOB TITUS Junior Guard. Bob was the fastest man on the squad and used it to get away for many set-ups. He was a good defensive man and is one of the many that will be back next year. JIM WADDLE Sophomore Forward. Jim was named all-conference Forward and was our high score man for the season. His speciality was stealing the ball away from the opponents. BUD WERNER Sophomore and Student Manager. Bud took his job seriously and his work well.

Second State Awards dnoj0 uojjeDnpg sAiy sAog Girls Physical Education Group Calendar for 1945 and 1946 September 4 The Freshmen hazily wandered a-round Falls City High School. 13 We all came home from the Hum -boldt Fair a worn-out bunch. 21 Our first game at Pawnee City proved disheartening to our Tigers, 13-0. 22 We had a Convocation on Airplanes. October 5 Anyway we put up a good fight against Northeast, 0-7. 12 In the Beatrice Game, the tide was turned and we won, 14-0. 19 We ran all over Tecumseh with a 20-6 football victory. 26 When the gun sounded a 7-6 victory over Nebraska City, there were cheers of delight. November 2 Our game with Auburn was tied 6-6. Afterwards, we had our first school party of the year—an evening of fun and entertainment for all. 9 Of course we won our Fairbury Game, 13-6. 15 A concert by our Glee Club, and very pretty, too. 21 Our pep rally for our annual Thanksgiving game with Hiawatha was very unusual, in that there were such feminine looking football players on the stage! Even Coach Tolly looked like a girl! No doubt it was just imagination. 22 Did that convocation have anything to do with us winning the game, 7-0? Maybe so! 29, 30, Dec. 1 A few of our musical minded students attended an Orchestra Clinic at Fremont. December 12 We had a wonderful Christmas party —food and everything—in the Gym at School. Two beautiful Christmas trees were trimmed which made everything look very festive. 14 Our Basketball season opened with a bang and a victory over Pawnee City, 34-26. 19 Christmas convocation with musical and dramatic numbers. A quiet, Christmas atmosphere prevailed. 21 Our game at York turned out 37-31, in our favor. January 2 Four hundred students wearily trudged into Falls City High School after welcoming in the New Year. Vacation? Who’s kidding who? 4 The New Year brought us luck against Auburn, 36-19. 8 Ah, well, Nebraska City, Some body had to lose, 40-11. 11 Of course we won at Tecumseh, 30-29. 15 A pretty close game with Hiawatha —especially the last four minutes of it— we won, 16-15. 18 Our game with Beatrice came out 28-16 and was followed by a swell party at the auditorium—a program, dancing, and cokes. What more could we ask for? 22 Sacred Heart surely wanted to beat us, but, well,—27-15 was the score. 24 A most entertaining Junior Play was presented at 8:00 P. M. at the high school auditorium. 25 Tough luck Fairbury, 33-27. We had another school party at the auditorium just as much a success as the other one. February 1 The fans were in a frenzy at our most exciting game of the year, with Northeast, 33-32 in our favor. 5 We beat Auburn the second time, too, 39-18. 15 Our game with Creighton wasn’t very good. The score was 34-19 in their favor. 18 Hugh Davis presented an hour and a half program on “Life in Africa and South America.” When the snakes started crawling on the stage, some of the girls, and boys, became rather bur-eyed and moved to the edge of their seats, poised for flight. 22 Our game with Lincoln Central turned out 23-36, in their favor, but we forgot that at the “Washington Hop” afterwards. It was our successful party. 5 We had a most unusual thing—a silent pep rally—there was not a sound, except of course, the students! There were silent cheers, a silent speaker, and yes, a silent pep band (for once). 14 We did the unusual again. This time we had a dancing pep rally in the gym. The famous dance band played for the “Waltzing” couples. 1-2 We sent another group to an Orchestra Clinic for the second time. This time, they went to Peru—had a good time, too. March 15-16 Our Band Clinic was attended at Lincoln by a number of the Band students. 20 Ray Rice talked to us. This is the 4th year for we Seniors and he is still as well-liked as he was the very first time we heard him. 21 Some of our more fortunate students got out for the day. They went to the Dramatics Contest at Omaha. April 17 Our Chorus class put on an Easter program for the students. 26-27 We sent many representatives to the Music Contest at Auburn. May 3 The Senior Play was presented at 8:00 at the school auditorium. 10 Class Day finally came. To the Seniors, it was rather a sad day. 19 Baccalaureate Service was very impressive. It is one thing the Seniors never forget. 23 The last and most important event of the year—Commencement. The Seniors received their diplomas. 24 There were yells of delight as the students of Falls City High left for the summer. DR. M. U. BURTON 0. K. Rubber Welders Dentist Harmon Bros.
