N I D xl-7 JW L Q ANNUAL-IZI G by DICK MASON '47 We are proud to present to you, the students ot Fremont High School, our bid for the seventh consecutive Ftll-Plmerican Black and Gold. Little do those outside the journalism department realize the et- torts and the dreams ot the stall that are wrapped up in these one hundred twenty pages of this, Nebraska's largest high school yearbook. To some our organization ot the book may seem a little confused. We feel that each graduating senior has had a favor- ite activity While in Fremont High and Page 30 In order to produce the larg- est high school annual in the state, by necessity many min- ute details and preliminary plans must first originate with the editor and adviser. Here Miss Strahan and Dick Mason discuss page lay-outs atory to making story ments and arranging schedules. It is their prepar- assign- picture respon- sibility to consider submitted cover designs and to make the final decision. to accept printing bids and to select the best variety ot type available. Interests ot the members of the journalism class are con- sidered before stories are as- signed in order to insure that the best possible treatment may be given each picture. that he should have the privilege ot hav- ing his senior picture placed in the sec- tion of that activity as a constant reminder to those who will see the book in years to come that he was a vital part ot that group. ln general outline, the day in school is considered first, ot course, with the after school, extra-curricular activi- ties, given their place in the after-school day, Since our annual, along with others, is exchanged throughout the state, other schools have admired our senior or- ganization and are incorporating it into their publications, and ot that we are proud. H pat on the back is certainly the order of the day for the business and advertis- ing staffs ot the Black and Gold. Last year a record sale in advertising was estab- lished, 31015, but this year we have done even better, achieving the remarkable total of 51100.

tidy' MU ICAL lVlITE by KATHERINE KOLLMEYER '47 Mighty voices from musical mites result in a harmonious and talented Iunior High Choir. Under the direction of Miss Ger- trude Scheuneman, the choir made four public appearances during the year. Sixty-five members represent lunior High's largest vocal group Whose chief assignment was to serve as a background for the Iunior lamboree, annual lunior High School program. Ptttempting to read seven part music for the first time this year the group did an excellent job to uphold the standard of the Iunior High music department. Girls' sextet, boys' octet, mixed vocal ensemble, and girls' glee added variety to the department program. Ot these small groups the girls' sextet, whose picture ap- pears on this page, was frequently called upon to entertain the high school crowd at the Eagles and various adult groups. Hnother popular group, the boys' octet, who developed their talents by diligent outside practice, added the lighter touch to many of the lunior High convocations with their versatile repertoire of songs. ln- troduced as a new group this year was mixed vocal ensemble of sixteen selected voices. Since this group wasyso e thusi- astically received, it will b ome per- manent addition to t e vo de rtment.

Since no proiect can be completed successiully without the lull cooperation ot each participating individual.

Schurman and Gene Smith has made it possible for us to keep Well within our budget tor production of the book. It would be impossible tor a book such as this to be produced for the sale price ot S250 per copy, for in reality one book costs over 33.00. From where does this extra money come? Hdvertising corn- prises the bulk of it, but each class do- nates a sum as does the activity fund. Without these outside sources never could we produce such an annual which can still be listed as the largest high school yearbook in the state. Hardly had the first day ot school passed last fall before work was begun on this 1947 Black and Gold. Contracts were written for and rejected or accepted: the theme was decided upon, and the seventh Fremont High bid lor Hll-Hrneri- can was under a head of steam.
