Senior Autographs SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1957, “We, the Great” entered the sacred halls of FCHS destined to be the greatest graduating class in the history of said school. As soon as we settled, we chose our class officers for that year. They are as follows: president, Richard Halbert; vice-president, Mary Beth Stalder; secretary-treasurer, Bruce Smith; and representatives for the student activities committee. Bill Bullock and Donna Sears. To prove our tremendous scholastic ability, the following students volunteered to be on the honor roll: Bill Bullock, Tom Castle, Jay Dyblie, Ann Gibson. Richard Gibson, Bill Glenn, Dick Law, Gary Mick, Rosalee Pflaum, Dale Richmond, Donna Sears, Bruce Smith, Steve Sperry, Mary Beth Stalder, Harold Sutter, Clarke Witt, John Wittrock, and Bill Yoesel. To prove our musical talent we contributed the following to the band: Sharon Bauer, Terry Baxter, Fred Brewer, Larry Buckminster, Bill Bullock, Larry Curtis, Jay Dyblie, Byron Gerlt, Richard Gibson, Peggy Grimes, Don Jahn, Sally Lunsford, Gary Mick, Elaine Capps, Larry DeBusk, Judy Gaston, Ann Gibson, Bill Glenn, Richard Halbert, Kay Jo Little, Gerald Messier, Rosalee Pflaum, Carol Schatz, Bruce Smith, Steve Sperry, Mary Beth Stalder, David Wittrock, and John Wittrock. To further prove our musical talent, we sent the following to the district music contest at Peru: Sharon Bauer, Terry Baxter, Fred Brewer, Larry Buckminster, Bill Bullock, Elaine Capps, Tom Castle, Jay Dyblie, Judy Gaston, Bryon Gerlt, Ann Gibson, Richard Gibson, Bill Glenn, Peggy Grimes, Richard Halbert, Kay Jo Little, Gerald Messier, Gary Mick, Rosalee Pflaum, Carol Schatz, Steve Sperry, Mary Beth Stalder, and John Wittrock. Bill Glenn, the sole letter winner of our freshman year, won a golf letter. Ah! Three wonderful months to recuperate from running back and forth from class to class and taking wisecracks from upperclassmen. When we came back to school in the fall of ”58,” we were ready to take another step up the ladder of ‘‘Higher Education.” To start with, we elected the following officers: president, Steve Sperry; vice-president, Dick Law; treasurer, Janice Maze; secretary, Bruce Smith. Bill Bullock and Sally Lunsford were elected to the activities committee. Our little Einsteins who volunteered for the honor roll this year were Bill Bullock, Jay Dyblie, Richard Gibson, Bill Glenn, Peggy Grimes, Dick Law, Kay Jo Little, Bruce Smith, Steve Sperry, Harold Sutter, and Clarke Witt. The Peru inter-scholastic contest attendants were Tom Castle, Jay Dyblie, Richard Gibson, Bill Glenn, Richard Halbert, Dick Law. Diana Oliver, Bruce Smith, Steve Sperry, Clarke Witt, David Wittrock, John Wittrock, and Bill Yoesel. Those going to the District Music Contest were as follows: Sharon Bauer, Terry Baxter, Fred Brewer, Larry Buckminster, Bill Bullock, Elaine Capps, Tom Castle, Larry Curtis, Larry DeBusk, Jay Dyblie, Judy Gaston, Byron Gerlt. Ann Gibson, Richard Gibson, Bill Glenn, Dennis Godemann, Peggy Grimes, Richard Halbert, Kay Jo Little, Janice Maze, Gerald Messier, Gary Mick, Diana Oliver, Rosalee Pflaum, Carol Schatz, Ruth Schnute, Donna Sears, Steve Sperry, Mary Beth Stalder, Harold Sutter, Earl Tutt, Charlotte Veach, John Wittrock, and Bill Yoesel. By sneaky political tactics, we elected Sally Lunsford first alternate cheerleader and Rosalee Pflaum and Sue Burkett Harris as majorettes. Our athletic greats for that year were Fred Brewer, Gary Kammerer, Dick Law, Bruce Smith, Steve Sperry, Clarke Witt. Bill Bullock, Larry Hershberger, Larry Hornbostel, Terry Lippold, Wesley Dowell, and Bill Glenn. My, what an athletic group we had! Once again we were on our own for three whole months with nothing to do but regret going back to school in September as “semi-wheels.” Our sponsors for this year were Mrs. Hoffman, Mrs. Nims, Mr. Eckman, Mr. Hatch, Mrs. George, and Mr. Mead. They helped us make a success of everything we did, such as help us elect our leaders for our junior year. They are as follows: president, Carol Schatz; vice-president, Bill Glenn; secretary, Ann Gibson; treasurer, Betty Merz. We also elected Sharon Bauer, Kay Jo Little, and Steve Sperry to the activities committee. Among our scholastic greats this year were Bill Bullock, Richard Gibson, Bill Glenn, Larry Hershberger, Dick Law, Bruce Smith, Steve Sperry, Clarke Witt, John Wittrock. To further prove that they were brilliant, the following went to the Peru inter-scholastic contest: Jay Dyblie, Bill Glenn, Richard Gibson, Steve Sperry, Patsy Posey, Bruce Smith, Clarke Witt, Dick Law. and John Wittrock. Under the direction of Mrs. Ahern, our class presented its play “Skidding.” The members of the cast were Bill Glenn, Carol Schatz, Gerald Messier, Richard Halbert. Larry Curtis, Peggy Grimes, Rosalee Pflaum, Judy Gaston, Mary Beth Stalder, Dennis Godeman, John Wittrock, Byron Gerlt, Floyd Sumner, Roberta Reiger, Ann Gibson, Sharon Curtis, and Dale Darling. Athletic sensations for the year included Fred Brewer, Bill Bullock, Tom Castle, Wesley Dowell, Jay Dyblie, Bill Glenn, Larry Hornbostel, Gary Kammerer, Dick Law, Terry Lippold, Bruce Smith, Steve Sperry, Floyd Sumner, Clarke Witt, David Wittrock, John Wittrock, and Bill Yoesel. The following—Sharon Bauer, Ann Gibson, Peggy Grimes, Joyce Halterman, Kay Jo Little, Sally Lunsford, Janice Maze, Betty Merz, Diana Oliver, Rosalee Pflaum, Patsy Posey, Marjorie Prosser, Carol Schatz, Ruth Schnute, Donna Sears, Mary Beth Stalder, and Ardis McCann won their first-state awards in Girls’ P. E. On May 30, 1960, we gave the seniors, the faculty, and the Board of Education a magnificent banquet and dance. Our theme was “Green Mansions.” This indeed was the most beautiful banquet ever given to a senior class. Once again three months of glorious rest. In September, we came back to school as IT!—Yes, the Wheels. This was the year we had waited for since we entered the realms of “Higher Education.” This being our last year, we took our time and organized sufficiently in order to accomplish all things that must be done before our resignation as the wheels of good old FCHS was final. Our sponsors for the final year were Mr. Coba, Mr. Joy, Mrs. Cummins, and Mr. Schneider. We decided that the following were best qualified as our officers of 1960-61: Bill Glenn, president; Richard Gibson, vice-president; Ruth Schnute, secretary ; and Carol Schatz, treasurer. We placed Dale Darling, Ann Gibson, and Clarke Witt on the activities committee. This year we monopolized the cheerleading chores with Kenneth Foster, Sally Lunsford, Rosalee Pflaum, Carol Schatz, and Mary Beth Stalder. We also had one senior majorette, Ruth Schnute. This year, through the leadership of our senior girls, a pep club was organized bearing the name of the “Tigerettes.” This peppy group was sponsored by Mrs. Burton and had as officers: Sheri Bauer,president; Patsy Posey, vice-president; and Donna Sears, executive board member. What would the Tigers have done without them! Our athletic greats for this our last year were as follows: Bob Bishop, Fred Brewer, Bill Bullock, Tom Castle, Dale Darling, Wesley Dowell, Richard Gibson, Bill Glenn, Richard Halbert, Larry Hershberger, Larry Hornbostel, Gary Kammerer, Terry Lippold, Bruce Smith, Steve Sperry, John W’ehrman, Clarke Witt, David Wittrock, John Wittrock, and Bill Yoesel. Girls winning awards in G.A.A. w ere Sharon Bauer, Peggy Grimes, Joyce Halterman, Kay Jo Little, Janice Maze, Betty Merz, Diana Oliver, Rosalee Pflaum, Patsy Posey, Carol Schatz, Ruth Schnute, and Mary Beth Stalder. Our scholastic greats that attended Peru interscholastic contest were Bill Bullock, Tom Castle, Bill Glenn, Clarke Witt, John Wittrock, Richard Gibson, Gary Kammerer, Dale Richmond, Kay Jo Little, Richard Halbert, Dick Law, Carol Schatz, Donna Sears, and Steve Sperry. They helped us to bring home the coveted Class A victory. Miss Kay Jo Little was “Miss Falls City,” and her attendants were Ann Gibson and Carol Schatz. On March 16, the senior class presented their play, “The Little Dog Laughed,” directed by Mrs. Harold Ahern. The cast included Peggy Grimes, Bill Yoesel, Judy Gaston, Richard Halbert, Sharon Bauer, Rosalee Pflaum, Larry Hornbostel, Carol Schatz, Don Jahn, Gerald Messier, Ruth Schnute, Betty Huettner, Donna Sears, Mary Beth Stalder, Terry Baxter, Dale Darling, Betty Merz, and Floyd Sumner. There was also David Klaus, a sixth-grader, who played the part of a small boy. Betty Huettner’s dog “Tip” played the part of “the little dog that laughed.” The underclassmen—namely, the juniors—gave a banquet in honor of their great superiors — namely “We,” the seniors—on April 29, 1961, shortly before we, the great, should leave these sacred halls. This fantastic book which you hold in your hands was thought of and made possible to enhance you for the rest of your life by these students in the Senior Class of “61,” who were devoted to this book and the people who might ponder on these pages. Sharon Bauer made possible the girls athletics; Phil Fisher, the class history; Ann Gibson, the music; and Bill Glenn, the class will. Richard Halbert was the business manager, Gary Kammerer had boys’ athletics, Dick Law was the editor, Kay Jo Little, Ruth Schnute, and Donna Sears were the typists, Betty Merz had the speech department, Tom Roberts was snapshot editor, Mary Beth Stalder did the class prophecy, Steve Sperry and Harold Sutter were assistant business managers, and Bill Yoesel was the assistant editor. And most of all, we cannot forget Mr. Joy and all his kindness and help that made this book possible. For our battle cry to be remembered in our hearts forever, we chose “Trust in God, and Work.” As our class flower we chose the Chrysanthemum, and as our class colors we chose “Yellow and W’hite.” On May 12. 1961, we, the senior class, went to FCHS for the last time as students. This, indeed, was to be a day to be remembered—the day the Class Day Exercises were held. On May 21, Baccalaureate services were held, and on May 25, Commencement Exercises were held. The day was the same as any other day. Only in a small corner of the world, in a small town, the senior class of 1961 attended their last day of school at FCHS. PHILIP SCOTT FISHER SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY This is the year 1981: the United States has been the first country to successfully inhabit another planet in our atmosphere. This planet has such a superior educational system that each of our states has maximum of three schools. In Nebraska the largest school is located in Falls City, of course! The Class of 1961, being so successful, donated all the money for the campus buildings. Therefore, we decided to have a “Party” the day of the dedication. When I arrived in town, I immediately rented a car from the Leroy Willits’ “Wreck-Proof Car” garage and drove to the largest hotel in town owned by Charles Helmick. (He was providing free rooms for our class.) Although I knew I would see everyone soon, I wanted to know what they had been “doing.” This led me to call Floyd Sumner and his wife, Peggy Grimes, who are in charge of all party lines. (I was positive they'd know everything about everyone.) It didn’t take long— Fred Brewer has installed escalators in all homes — stair climbing is much easier. Larry Buckminster has become a florist after his early interests in “Poseys.” Bill Bullock is an accountant for the Sheldon, Iowa, National Bank. Elaine Capps is the highest paid TV personality — famous from coast to coast for her advertisements of Brand X medicines. Janice Maze is still in school trying to understand Mr. Coba’s explanations. Densil Alexander works for Macy’s, testing foam rubber mattresses. Dale Darling and Don Jahn have perfected their seeing-eye doorbell. It was quite popular until Charlotte Veach started a movement protesting these gadgets — she’s house mother of a girls’ dorm. Tom Castle builds secluded parking lots for high school steadies. Since Alfred Eickhoff was such a star in all high school and professional sports, he has been named to the Sports Hall of Fame. John Wehrman owns a stud farm in Kentucky, while Dennis Godemann owns and operates all vital space farms. David Elliott, a prominent Hiawatha businessman, advocates everyone work on Friday afternoon. Phil Fisher, Shubert, Nebraska, manufactures false teeth for the man with a hole in his grin. Kenneth Fritz and his stiff-legged brother, Gerald, are Matt and Chester on Gunsmoke. Judy Gaston and Joyce Halterman, beauticians, specialize in washing and curling men’s toupees. Bill Glenn is president of “Eccentrics Anonymous.” Gary Kammerer operates a helicopter service from anywhere in Nebraska to Verdon for boys who can’t get dates at home. David Stryker is a body guard for John Lippold who is king of the underworld. John’s private secretary is Ardis McCann. Terry Lippold spends most of his time in a psychiatrist office, trying to straighten out his many complexes. Evelyn Rider builds movie theaters with back rows only. Her projectionist, Bill DeWald, has set a new record by showing the same film for over a year — record crowds at each show. Steve Sperry, the highest ranking army official in the United States, is trying to overthrow the government. Alvin Smith is his aide. Bruce Smith, now in France working on his masters, is writing a theme paper entitled, “The Habits of Scratching.” It was getting late so I said goodbye and went to the dining room. I noticed head billing on the program was held by Bill Yoesel — the graceful coordinated dancer. His chorus line was Carol Ebel, Marjorie Prosser, Priscilla Kelley Meinzer, and Sharon Womble. Underneath his name was Doris Schulenberg’s— this famous vocalist is always accompanied by Bob Wissinger at the organ. After I had eaten my meal, I found that the chef was Walter Honea, former cook for Melvin “Fidel” Harmon, who, I’m sorry to say, died of food poisoning. As I dashed to my car, I discovered why Byron Gerlt’s Standard Oil Station was so popular — female attendants. When I arrived for the reunion I was met by the owners of the club, Marcele Schulenberg and Juanita Smith. When I had been seated, I noticed Dave Robinson came in, sporting a beautiful tan he had picked up while in Kansas City. It’s rumored that isn’t all he picked up. Donna Sears was walking around, searching in all odd corners mumbling, “Where is he?” There was a short powerfully built man wearing a beret, sneaking about snapping pictures. You guessed it — the notorious black mailer, Tom Roberts. Terry Baxter was obviously wearing “seven way stretch.” Larry Hornbostel was yelling: I'm no slugger in romance,” as he chased Ruth Schnute, Mrs. I. A. of 1981 out the door. Kay Jo Little, showing a dazzling hairstyle, arrived with a big hairbending bruiser. Gerald Messier was soberly attired in a tight-fitting suit and collar; apparently he's wearing a strait jacket. Diana Oliver came to my table to tell me she pushed through the legislature a bill to hardtop all country roads. Kenney Foster had paid Dale Richmon, an electrician at Cape Canaveral, to keep a spotlight on him. Kenney always did like his shapely legs shown off. As we were about to leave, Larry Hershberger offered to clean the club. His wife Carol has trained him for that type of work. Dave Wittrock was standing at the door passing out party favors — colored Kleenex. Because Betty Huettner was staying across the hall from me, she rode to the hotel in my car. She told me she had been an airline hostess but had become “so bored” that she earned her pilot's license. She often encounters classmates traveling on her plane. Her most regular passenger is Bob Hahn, owner of Hahn’s Charm School for Farmers — every graduate a Romeo. Rosalee Pflaum, a connoisseur of all beverages, often travels with nn Gibson and Sally Lunsford who are now rich from their patent game—“Spin the Bottle.” Roberta Reiger, world champion roller skater, often hires Betty to fly her skating company around the world. As we went into the hotel we met Larry “Brain” Curtis who patches cigarette-burned collars. He told us Larry DeBusk and Earl Tutt have established a drag strip extending from Falls City 17 miles south. Harold Sutter, a millionaire, had his beginning by collecting money for all “chairtable” organizations. Bob Hoy and David Sawyer recently were awarded an Oscar for producing the best show of the year. Clarke Witt and Patsy Posey, brain surgeons, try all their theories on Dennis Hatfield. Dick Law is president of the national fraternity — Iota Theta Pi (i o TT). Carol Schatz is president of the corresponding sorority. Gary Mick, after further experimentation with chemicals, has succeeded in losing himself in orbit in the first “Mick-nik.” Wesley Dowell has built theaters throughout the country so boys won’t have to travel to Kansas City. Jay Dyblie and John Wittrock are beach cleaners at Ft. Lauderdale. Richard Halbert tours the country telling crowds how to be almost as great as he is. Bob Bishop is the head of a successful company featuring “gifts for the man in your life — specializing in a breath-taking deodorant.” Richard Gibson is his head salesman. Sharon Bauer has just completed her latest novel “The Art of Frenching” — free demonstration with each book. As I went to my room I remembered I hadn't seen Betty Merz. Apparently she had to care for her ten children while her husband was in Texas. Now that I know what all my classmates are doing. I’ll keep on at the same—looking for a husband.

TEAMS IN ACTION FRED PETERSON ASSISTANT COACH FOOTBALL BASKETBALL TRACK GOLF BOB HENDERSON HEAD COACH FOOTBALL BASKETBALL TRACK -ASSISTANT COACH, SOUTH SHRINE BOWL GAME 1960 FOOTBALL SEASON Over sixty candidates, including 10 lettermen, reported to practice for the 1960-1961 football season. The Tigers came up with their second consecutive undefeated season and boosted one of the best teams in recent years. The season record was 9-0 and was good for the State Class “B” Title and an enviable fourth consecutive Twin Rivers Conference Championship. FALLS CITY—6 FAIRBURY—0 1200 fans turned out for the season opener. The Tigers showed great promise for the future as they outplayed the Jeffs: 245-79 in yards gained, 12-3 in first downs. Bad timing and first-game mistakes prevented the Tigers from coming through as expected on offense although the team as a whole played a good defensive game. The only score came with 3:38 remaining in the game on a pass from Wittrock to Kam-merer, who had just returned to action after suffering two leg cramps. Witt, Brewer, and Smith were cited by Coach Henderson for outstanding play. FALLS CITY—14 BEATRICE—0 Falls City High's fourth-quarter ball club chalked up two touchdowns early in the fourth-quarter after letting Beatrice outplay them the first half. After it appeared that the Bengals would have to settle for a scoreless tie—or worse, Coach Henderson's strategy and the team's last-quarter desperation gave Falls City its second straight Twin Rivers victory. FALLS CITY—25 LINCOLN PIUS X—12 Smith scored three touchdowns within four minutes to lead the Tigers to their third straight victory. The slow-starting Tigers spotted the Thunderbolts a first-quarter touchdown and then unleased their long-awaited scoring punch and rolled over Pius X. Falls City racked up 349-72 yards rushing and 16-6 in first downs. Bruce “the Rammer'' was the big gun with 225 yards gained and Sperry followed with 111 yards gained. FALLS CITY—45 AUBURN—14 The Falls City Tigers ended a four year jinx by smashing the Auburn Bulldogs. Falls City showed great improvement and was superior all the way; with the lineman's great performance described as “down right mean.” Smith and Lippold led the offense which racked up 328 yards on the ground to Auburn’s 88. Defensively Brewer, Gibson, and Kammerer gave the Bulldog’s offense fits. Among others who should be cited for turning in a great performance were Gilker-son, Yoesel, Martin, Witt, Hershberger, and Wittrock. FALLS CITY—33 TECUMSEH—0 The Falls City Tigers proved they deserved the top rating of Class B as they routed the Indians in an unequal contest. The Tigers, although not showing their best brand of ball, held the Indians to 2 first downs and 51 total yards gained. In comparison, the Tigers had 16 first downs and 370 total yards gained. Smith, Lippold, Kammerer, Hershberger, Martin, Gilkerson, and Gibson were cited for fine performances in this game. FALLS CITY—41 PLATTSMOUTH—0 The Tigers sixth victory could best be described strictly as a team victory as eight players entered the scoring column. The highlight of the game was a thrilling 77 yard punt return by Larry Hornbostel which broke the Blue Devil’s back early in the first quarter. Although Falls City did not play its best, the losing coach described the Tigers as being “one of the best teams I have ever seen.” Kammerer, Hornbostel, Lippold, Yoesel, and Gilkerson turned in fine performances. FALLS CITY—12 NEBRASKA CITY—6 2,200 fans watched one of the most exciting games in Tiger History. The rugged Pioneers dominated the first half and smashed across the Tiger goal for a 6-0 lead. The Tigers came back the second half with a Wing-T offense which puzzled the Pioneers and scored late in the third-quarter. After a valiant goal line stand, the Tigers moved the ball to their own 40. With 49 seconds left, Wittrock hit Smith with a screen pass which covered 60 yards for a touchdown. Coach Henderson said, “I can cite all 17 boys who played as turning in a great performance.” FALLS CITY—33 CRETE—0 The Falls City Tigers, in a feat which may never be duplicated again, claimed sole possession of the Twin Rivers Crown for their fourth consecutive time as they trounced the Crete Cardinals. Despite the rain-soaked field, the Tigers dominated the Cardinals while racking up 358-123 total yards gained. Fourteen senior boys, not including two vets—John Wehrman and Richard Gibson who were sidelined with injuries, played their final game on the Falls City High stadium sod. FALLS CITY—41 OMAHA CATHEDRAL—6 “The Untouchables” of Falls City High smeared Omaha Cathedral to wind up undefeated in the 1960 gridiron final. Smith, believed to be the only Falls City player to gain over 1000 yards, gained 146 yards for a season’s total of 1054 yards gained. Four Tigers entered the scoring column, including Bill Yoesel, who realized a lineman’s “big dream,” that of making a touchdown. It was the last game for seniors Gary Kammerer, Dave Wittrock, Fred Brewer, Bruce Smith, Clarke Witt, Steve Sperry, Terry Lippold, Richard Gibson, John Wehrman, Larry Hershberger, Larry Hornbostel, Bill Yoesel, Dale Darling, Richard Halbert, Bob Bishop, and Tom Castle.

THE 1960-1961 BASKETBALL SEASON Twenty-five boys reported for the 1960-1961 basketball season including senior lettermen Bill Bullock, Terry Lippold, Bruce Smith, and Tom Castle. The Tigers had a mediocre season winning eight games and losing nine. However, the picture of the season is not quite true because six of the nine losses were by three points or less. The 8-9 season record left the Bengals in second place in the Southeast Conference and fourth place in the Twin Rivers Conference. FALLS CITY—45 SEWARD—47 The Bengals turned in an unimpressive opening season performance while being defeated by the Blue Jays in an overtime. Kammerer and Bullock tied for scoring honors with 12 each. FALLS CITY—53 HIAWATHA—51 The Tigers posted their first victory of the season as they squeezed past the Indians in a second half comeback. Smith was high with 15 points. FALLS CITY—48 TECUMSEH—40 Although the Tigers played a ragged-type of game, they posted their second victory of the season. Castle led the scoring with 12 points. FALLS CITY—50 NEBRASKA CITY—53 In a close game the Pioneers handed the Tigers their second defeat of the season which counted both as a Twin Rivers Conference and a Southeast Conference loss. Bullock had 15 points, followed by Lippold with 12. FALLS CITY—61 BEATRICE—40 The Bengals chalked up their first Twin Rivers Conference victory with an impressive win over the Orangemen. Kammerer was high with 15 points. FALLS CITY—44 CRETE—46 The Tigers lost their second Twin Rivers Conference game after blowing a seven point 4th-quarter lead. Lippold was high with 12 points.
