Senior Class History The story you are about to hear is true, taken from the files of Falls City High School. My name is Pat McGuire, Class Historian. For four years, a group of 105 students have spent their time in this school and have received nothing for it but credits. My job: to write the Class History. The day: September 4, 1951. Time: 9:05 A. M. Scene: The halls of F. C. H. S. have been invaded by 105 Freshmen. The poor little dears died a thousand deaths from looks given to them by the Almighty Seniors, the lofty Juniors, and the snobbish Sophomores. However, Miss Graves, Mr. Simon, and Mr. Hansen came to their rescue as their class wardens. Under their protection, the students elected the following class officers: President, Ann Bedwell; Vice-president, Nels Kjeldsen; Secretary-treasurer, Bob Miller; Student Activity Committee, Mary Beth Lennemann and Patricia Darling. With this move made, the pinched lines of fear left their faces and bright smiles reigned there. Their eagerness to participate was shown when you heard their young voices in chorus, heard their flat notes in band, saw their boundless energy in Physical Education, and bowed to their intelligence when they made the Honor Roll. The following students attended Band Day in Lincoln: Beverly Ankrom, Ann Bedwell, Marilyn Ebel, Barbara Gilliland, Virginia Griffiths, Marjorie Hartman, Mary Beth Lennemann, Susan Mitchell, Marlene Prior, Dan Sargent, Connie Schock, Duane Schmutzer, Ronald Speers, and Larry Steadman. Marlene Prior was majorette. In football, Gary Adams, Jim Lunsford, and Julie Zimmerman won their awards. In basketball, Nels Kjeldsen received honors. However, Gary Adams, Jim Lunsford, Julie Zimmerman, and Nels Kjeldsen all won track awards. Thus, the inmates ended one phrase of the four years to come. After a three months convalescent period, they again ventured into the grey halls of Falls City High; this time as the snobbish Sophomores. This year they held a secret meeting and saluted Miss Shook, Miss Fase, and Miss Oberlender as their sponsors. For class officers, the following were elected: President, Jerry Buchholz; Vice-president, Virginia Griffiths; Secretary-treasurer, Marilyn Ebel; and Student Activities Committee, Connie Schock and Larry Sailors. With the guidance of these capable people, they now held their heads higher. Again in football they honored F. C. H. S. with letters earned by Nels Kjeldsen, Jim Lunsford, Jerry Buchholz, Gary Adams, and Julie Zimmerman. In Basketball, letters were received by Gary Adams and Nels Kjeldsen, while track letters were awarded to Gary Adams, Nels Kjeldsen, Jim Lunsford, Julius Zimmerman, Jerry Buchholz, Milan Quigley, and Jim Sefried.

For the third consecutive year they entered F. C. H. S., ready to keep up with the steps of the haughty Seniors. It was like a heady wine to see the lower classmen look at them in awe and wonder. They began the year right by electing the following as ring leaders: President, Nels Kjeldsen; Vice-president, Susan Mitchell; Secretary-treasurer, Kay Ludwig; and Activity Committee, Ann Bedwell, Jerry Buchholz, and Jerry Faller. All this was accomplished with the help of their class sponsors, Miss Shook and Miss Fase.

The months passed quickly and on the last day in August they entered the gates once more. They elected their leaders with all the ingenuity they had acquired the previous years. They are the following: President, Dan Sargent; Vice-president, Bob Miller; Secretary, Roger Eickhoff; Treasurer, Larry Steadman; Activities Committee, Julia Dowell, Kay Ludwig, and Larry Sailors. Cheerleaders were Pat Darling, Ann Bedwell, Larry Little, and Connie Schock. It lifted the morale of the male members to see one of their own invade the cheerleading squad.

Basketball letters were received by Nels Kjeldsen, Gary Adams, and Bob Miller. Track awards were won by many of the boys. G. A.

On May 7th, they were the guests of the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet held at the Prichard Auditorium. On May 13th, Class Day Exercises were held. Baccalaureate services were held on May 22nd. On May 26th, the group filed into the Auditorium to receive their paroles, after a meeting of the Board of Directors declared they had served their term of four years faithfully and were officially released. They knew they would never forget those four years, but outside the gates their loved ones were waiting for them and a new life would soon begin. Thus, the case was marked “Closed.” This was a Weddel-Mack VII Production. Pat McGuire, Historian Senior Class Prophecy One May day in 1975 while walking down a lonely lane, I began to think of my classmates of ’55. I didn’t have very long to think because of an awful sound behind me. I turned and in the distance I saw something red approaching at a breakneck speed. I moved just in time because “whiz” it was gone. Little slips of paper lay everywhere. I began reading and they contained news about class of ’55, the most important class of Falls City High. Remember Larry Steadman. Well, he isn’t in Falls City any more. He’s in Texas trying to perfect the breeding of featherless chickens. He says if his plan goes through, it has to be in the South so the poor things won’t freeze to death. Larry Little isn’t here anymore either. Lie’s in Florida on a reptile farm making loads of money. Larry got to close to Lizzie, his pet alligator, and she bit his leg. Let’s see who’s still in Falls City. Ruth Bek has a very unusual job. She puts railroad flares out at night. Say, they really have a good case in the court now at Falls City. Nels Kjeldsen might be in for a stretch. Nels manufactures rubber shoe laces for fat people. Now Tom Miller was tying his wife’s shoe and the string broke and bounced back and hit her so hard that it broke her leg. Tom is suing for damages against Nels. Susan Mitchell is a member of the jury, and, of course, her verdict will be “not guilty.” Alan Shipley is prosecuting attorney. Larry Sailors is now Post Master General in Washington. Larry was always pretty good at “post office.” Sondra Mumm has a month’s engagement at the Twinkle Toes Ballroom, owned by Ronald Schwartz. She’s revised Arthur Godfrey’s “I Warm So Easy, So Dance Me Loose” a little, but she still has a pretty good version of it. Julie Zimmerman and Jim Lunsford are both working on their experiment. They’re trying to discover a lipstick proof mustache wax. Since they both have beards, they get quite a kick out of their work. Thelma Eickhoff is making a few minor arrangements out on the Kirkendall ranch. Gary, don’t be so stubborn; let her have her initials on the branding iron if she wishes. Gene Gilmore has a rather dead life. He’s chief undertaker now in Falls City. Pat Darling has just won a prize with her good old-fashioned Irish stew. Her little O’Grady’s just love it. “Ginny” Griffiths teaches nursery rhymes to the kindergarten class. Her favorite is “Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater.” The reason — she just loves — pumpkin. Duane Schmutzer is making quite a profit painting hand painted neckties, especially for Mr. Cummins. Dick Kuker is with the circus now; they have to have someone to blow up the balloons. Ann Bedwell is in France where is employed by a home for the old aged. She polishes monocles for the former Premiers of France. Richard Bach has a “real cool” job. He’s Falls City’s and Rule’s ice man. Tim Zinn is in close touch with the heads of several big concerns. He’s a barber. Gary Rush is window washer at the Y. W. C. A. Arlene Boehringer is in New York trying out for a part in “Pink Parlor,” a play which the critics, Donald Tutt and Gary Morris say is sure to be a hit. The lead part for the male star went to Marvin Heineman. Julia Dowell has just finished her 76th edition of “If You Want Him, Get Him.” Julia should know; she has been married only nine times. She has sold only seventy-six copies of her book and guess to whom! Barbara Stewart. Barb says if she can’t get him with this book, she's just going to get him with the scheme she’s been working on for the last 19 years. David Siekel has a thriving business in this town. He cans fishworms for lazy fishermen. David??? Albert Chesnut and Robert Castan are spending an expense-paid vacation on a secluded island, Alcatraz, Albert and Robert had money galore until their press broke down and the F. B. I. caught them. Fred Bauman has a secret formula for putting bubbles in bubble gum. Betty Bauman is trying to locate a publisher who will publish her love poems that she has been collecting since she started writing them in American Government class. Audrey Bauer is out on the Peru campus still looking for Lou—ie. Hope you find him, Audrey. Gary Adams is in Alaska extracting whale teeth. Don’t slip “Little Man”; those whales could swallow you in one big gulp. Mary Anne Hahn is in Africa teaching the Zsa Zsa Zincado Indians how to do the Mambo. Jerry Faller is working for the circus where he has chaige of the air hole at the fun house. He says that his job really gives a lot of people a lift. Falls City High has a new faculty this year. Let’s see who some of them are. Walter Arnold teaches Agriculture; Jerry Crofford is Speech teacher; Darleen Fritz is English teacher; Robert Waggoner is Principal; Eleanor Werner is a science teacher. Jim Sefried has just finished composing his latest hit song, “They Got Charlie.” Verna Crawley is still striving for that White wash. Reverend Glenn Nutzman is having a special service next Sunday. Services start at 10:00 A. M. Marlene Prior and Owen Picton are singing a duet. Barbara Gilliland is still trying to teach Marvin Goltz how to play rabbit. James Aue manufactures harp oil. Bob Miller has very profitable business manufacturing musical mouse traps. Roger Eickhoff is also in the manufacturing busi- ness. He manufactures a product which is a combination mouth wash and spot remover. Dan Sargent has revised his father’s jewelry store into a “Jewelry for Pets” shop. He fashions jeweled collars and leashes. Sandra Stednitz and Joy Smith just bought identical diamond collars for their French poodles. Hoy Arnold is in Alaska installing heated billboards for traffic cops to park behind. Beverly Ankrom is now manager of the Rivoli theater after working her way up. Marilyn Ebel is the U. S. champion hog caller of the year. The hogs come five miles for Marilyn. A woman’s voice is shrill you know. Mary Lou Haeffele is the housemother at the Coonce house. She is the mother of the five Coonce children. Danny Harper manufactures a perfume made of skunk oil, called “Forget Me Not.” Don’t worry, Danny, we won’t. Marjorie Hartman works for Western Union. She delivers singing telegrams. Alice Hullman left on the Rocket Ship for the moon with Ronald Speers, Robert Larkin, and Robert Yost. Alice went along to cook and get some of the menues of the spacemen. Gary Hunker has a depressing job. He’s operator of a steam roller. Mary Beth Lennemann is a guide at a tourist camp in Colorado. Just last week she was found after being lost for two days halfway up Pikes Peak. Kay Ludwig is the owner of Ludwig’s Bakeries, manufactures of “Grandma Ludwig’s Old-fashioned No-Calorie Molasses Cookies.” Bill Jahn twists pretzels. He’s very careful about the way he twists the “C’s” and “W’s.” Ralph Ramsey paints personalized monagrams on toothpicks. Alan Lennemann is another doctor in the family. He specializes in removing tonsils and adenoids from canaries. Connie Schock is in India charming cobras into dances. She can even charm them into doing rhumbas, mambos, or anything. Wish you were a snake? Dale Schulenberg has a special column in a newspaper. He gives advice to the love lorn. Edwin Stokes has a twenty-four hour a day space service. He has taxi-like spaceships that fly to all of the planets. Glenn Murphy now owns his own skating rink and teaches others how to skate. Patricia McGuire owns a little shop called the “Three Corners.” Guess what she sells. Yes, diapers. Harold Suedmeier owns a turkish bath house so people can reduce. He is a pretty good example of what his work can do. Donald Wickham has a job with many ups and downs. He tests yo-yos for a yo-yo company. Gary Witt is the president of the First National Bank in Falls City. The last slip is about Danny Lippold. He is a concert violinist in New York. His theme song is “Three Blind Mice,” which he will play at Carnegie Hall next Friday. By the way, that red thing that whizzed by me and left all of those slips was Richard Bach on his way to Rulo. Musn’t let the ice melt, you know. Kay Ludwig Senior Class Will We the Senior class of 1955, about to depart from one phase of life into another, being of sound body and feeble mind, do make and proclaim this our last will and testament. First: To be executed by Mr. R. R. Andrews in the presence of the faculty and student body. Second: That all former wills and promises of this class be forgotten.

A large group from which to select a winning team. They all started the season with high spirits and ended it with the same feeling. As the season progressed, the team grew better and better. The Tigers went undefeated this year with nine straight victories. The Tigers bagged two conference championships; The Southeast Conference and the Twin Rivers Conference. All opposing teams were good, but with hard work and determination we succeeded. This year Falls City started off the season with a victory over Beatrice (18-14), a hard fought battle all the way. They climbed over Atchison (13-6), and breezed past Pawnee City (41-14). Falls City fought a (14-7) victory over Tecumseh, and let the Platts-mouth Blue Devils down with a (25-0) victory. The Tigers shut out Nebraska City with a (20-0) victory, squeezed past Auburn with a (20-14) victory, glided past Omaha Cathedral with a (40-27) victory, and closed the season with a victory over Fairbury (30-0). — THE UNDEFEATED SEASON — FALLS CITY—18 BEATRICE—14 The Tigers opened the season with a 18-14 victory. The first touchdown was scored in the first 1 Vz minutes of the game. Adams, Kjeldsen, and Collier were outstanding at defense. The scoring was made by Adams, Faller, and Collier. FALLS CITY—13 ATCHISON— 6 Falls City fought a hard battle with Atchison but came out on top 13-6. Adams scored two touchdowns and made one extra point. Harper and Cochran played one of their best games of the season. FALLS CITY— 41— PAWNCEE CITY—14 Mclntire and his men scored on the first play from scrimmage. All the men were outstanding in this game. The scoring was done by Adams, Kjeldsen, Faller, Collier, and Poage. All got singles with “Gab” adding five gratis points. FALLS CITY—30 FALLS CITY—14 TECUMSEH—7 Boosting their victory string to four the Tigers fought past Tecumseh 14-7. The standouts in this game were Kjeldsen, Thomas, Adams, and Taylor. The scoring was done by Adams and Faller. Adams also made two conversions. FALLS CITY—25 PLATTSMOUTH—0 The fair weather boys rolled past Plattsmouth 25-0. Kjeldsen, Cochran, and Malcolm were outstanding on defense. Mclntire swept the bench and the starting eleven set out the biggest part of the second half. Scoring was done by Adams, Cochran, Martin, and Kjeldsen. FALLS CITY—20 NEBRASKA CITY—0 Mclntire and his men placed Nebraska City on their victory string with a 20-0 victory. The forward wall were all standouts on defense with the spotlight on Harper, Malcolm, Kjeldsen, Thomas and Kirken-dall. The touchdowns were made by Collier, Faller, Cochran; points after touchdowns by Adams. FALLS CITY—20 AUBURN—14 The Bulldogs showed their teeth against the Tigers in a hard fought defeat of 20-14. The Tigers racked up their 16th Southeast Conference crown. Adams saved the day with two long touchdown runs. There were no outstanding players although all the men played well.

The standouts were Adams, Kjeldsen, Broadstohe, Thomas, Harper, Weaver, Shipley, and Wiltse. Scoring was done by Adams, Collier, Kjeldsen. Extra points by Adams and Faller helped to make an outstanding score. FAIRBURY—0 The Tigers avenged last year’s lone defeat by soundly defeating Fairbury in the season’s finale. This game wrapped up Falls City’s first undefeated season in some years. Basketball Season of '55 At the first of the season, the future looked bright. We had several lettermen back from last year and we had a team that would average over six feet tall. After winning the opener against Northeast, Tecumseh defeated us on their floor. Someone said that “defeat is the gateway to victory” and it certainly applied to Tigers. The defeat “stung” them into playing good, hard basketball for the balance of the season, and they were able to complete the remainder of the regularly scheduled season undefeated. The lone setback was later avenged on our floor. Some of the games were just close enough to prevent the players from becoming overcome by their own importance. We can also thank Coach Mclntire and his basketball “psychology.” We met Nebraska City in the first game of the Regional Tournament and came through with flying colors. Bellvue was the second opponent and we won from them handily. In the finals of the tournament, we met a very fine Holy Name team. Falls City picked that particular night to be “cold” from the floor, and Holy Name went on to defeat the Tigers. Statistics show a total of 17 wins and 2 losses, which means a successful season to anyone. Our hats are off to Coaches Jack Mclntire and Robert Henderson, who in our humble opinion, are two of the finest coaches around.
