The SPUDPICKER PUBLISHED BY SENIOR CLASS OF 1929 ifftreUum't “If we work upon marble it will perish. If we work upon brass time will efface it. If we rear temples they will crumble to dust. But if we work upon men’s immortal minds, if we imbue them with high principles, with the just fear of God and love of their fellow men, we engrave on those tablets something which no time can efface, and which will brighten and brighten to all eternity.”—Daniel Webster THE SPUDPICKER WE THE SENIOR CLASS Of 1929 respectfully dedicate this volume of the SPUDPICKER to our Sponsor COACH L. M. CARTER THE SPUDPICKER -l - 3n ittmtuirmut Perry Dean Johnson was born in Hemingford, Nebraska, Box Butte County, on the 24th day of November in the year 1909 and departed from this life on Friday, February 15th, 9 P. M. in the Chadron Municipal Hospital at the age of 19 years, 2 month, and 22 days. His relapse came unexpectedly at the end of 14 days' severe illness with pneumonia when it was thought by all that he was well on the road to recovery. He began his boyhood days on his father’s farm near Hemingford, en- tered the Hemingford Public School at the age of six, passed his grade each year, graduated from the Hemingford High School in the spring of 1928, ranking in the upper quartile of his class, and entered the Chadron State Normal College in the fall of this school year. - 4 -� — = THE SPUDPICKER-- -- ..... He was an active member of the Alliance Chapter of DeMolay and the National Young Men’s Christian Association. He could always be depended upon. He completed everything which he undertook. Generally known by the name of P. D., he was an accepted leader in all school activities. This was es- pecially true in athletics. He made 7 letters and won one medal in high school athletics, never failing to letter in any sport offered by the school. P. D., was an ideal athlete, trained consistently, observed all the rules of the game, work- ed for the honor of the team and school, and was always willing to divide any honor or glory with his team mates. His high school will always remember when the team was within one yard of the goal, that he drew a senior out of the line in order to give him what might be his last and only chance to make a touch-down for his school, and a track meet where having already earned his letter he allowed a team mate to come in first so that he too might earn his. Although a freshman in college he lettered in football, and Coach Hahn of the Chadron State Normal considered him to be one of his most aggressive guards in basket-ball for this season, and one of the best liked men on the squad. During this time he carried every hour of work that the Normal Board would allow. He was an industrious and a diligent worker, a companion to his par- ents, brother and sisters, always grateful for his home life, for the sacrifices of his father and mother, whose only goal in life was to give each of their chil- dren the advantage of a college education, with an unselfish Christian citizen- ship for the community advancement instead of personal gain. He often told his mother, “Mother, when I am away from home, no matter where I go, and no matter where I am, I shall never do anything for which you will ever need be ashamed or have cause to regret.” His life was all of that. Perry Dean leaves to mourn his untimely departure his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Johnson of this city, two sisters and one brother; Mrs. Fawntine Black of Scottsbluff, Mrs. Willella Barker of Custer, S. D., and Mr. W. A. John- son of Grant, Nebraska; other relatives and a host of friends. He was baptised when a small boy, accepted Christ as his ideal during his high school days and his life represented the many possiblities of an unfold- ing leader, who clearly recognized the worth of weighing the values of a phys- ical, intellectual, and spiritual life. Chisel in hand stood a sculptor boy With a marble block before him. His face lit up with a smile of joy As an angel dream passed o’er him. lie carved that dream on the yielding stone With many a sharp incision. In heaven’s own light the image shone,— He had caught that angel vision. Sculptors of life are we as we stand With our lives uncarved before us, Waiting the hour when at God’s command Our life-dream passes o’er us. Let us carve that dream on the yielding stone With many a sharp incision,— Its heavenly beauty shall be our own, Our lives that angel vision. .-THE SPUDPICKER ...—- tiiblir 'thuuis A cordial invitation is extended to all high school folks to enroll in our high school at the opening of school in the fall and we will endeavor to make the entire year a pleasant and a profitable one. Although being a fully accredited school, and any student finishing the Hemingford High School may enter the University of Nebraska without tak- ing entrance examinations, arrangements have been completed for enrollment in the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. At the present time only ninety-four towns in the state are members of this associa- tion, and its being the highest standard of accreditment possible for any school in the state, the advantage to the pupils attending, the school and the community is evident. A junior high school will be organized this coming fall which will in- clude the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. The senior high school will in- clude the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. The junior high school will be under the same supervision as the senior high and both sections will have an en- rollment of nearly two hundred students with seven teachers in charge. Each of the lower grades will be taught by an individual teacher, and each in a separ- ate room. The equipment of our school is adequate and sufficient for thorough work in all departments in which work is given. Each year additional equip- ment is added to the departments that the classes may keep up to the State re- quirements. We have a growing library of books and encyclopedias. Up to date recording and modern library methods are being used. The enrollment of the high school has increased over one hundred per cent in the last three years. Football with a full athletic program, a com- mercial department, orchestra, debate, Hi-Y, normal training and other activ- ities with the necessary teaching force have been added to take care of this in- creased enrollment. We invite you to visit and inspect our school system.. Any one feeling that our school is not fully accredited in every way is asked to correspond with the following authorities: Chancellor Burnett of the State University, Lincoln, Nebraska. Charles W. Taylor, State Superintendent of Schools, Lincoln, Nebraska. Superintendent, C. A. Elkins. —7— MISS SUSIE DAVISON, Treasurer 4 THE SPUDPICKER =K« (Aiutunl ;S'trtff 1. Editor-in-Chief Viola Peterson 2.

THE SPUDPICKER —T----: fr- fitixittt Class 3iistitr t September 1925 witnessed a day which shall long be remembered by the twenty-five Verdant Freshmen entering Hemingford High School and starting out on their four year voyage across the dark seas to the land of light- education. We held our class meeting and elected Wayne Shaver—president, Opal Gipple—Vice President; Clyde Badger—Secretary-Treasurer and Miss Laura Overton consented to be our Captain the first semester; Mr. Nash the second. Before we had sailed very far, we encountered a sharp battle with a ship of sea pirates and after a short struggle they over powered us and we were properly and soundly initiated by our upper class men, the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. During our first year we explored two dark dreary seas, called, Latin and Algebra. After several rather severe storms the weather settled and we sailed clear waters. Since the first year of our voyage was nearly over we gave an upper deck party as a celebration. As we were now near the harbor we gave a bountiful feed as we anchored in the harbor of “Sophomores.” Because we had been sailing the seas for nine long months we anchored and took a vacation of about three months. September again found us ready to start upon a second voyage in which we were to explore the sea of Geometry, but we soon discovered that this sea was merely a small gulf and many of the rumors concerning its danger were un- true. For it was not at all rough. Our sailors held a short meeting and re- elected Wayne Shaver as President, while Irma Johnson was elected Vice Presi- dent and Gertrude Miller was Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Koenke was our Captain the first semester succeeded by Mr. Stringer. Our sailors were Bud Badger, Merle Cory, Lillian Irvine, Pauline Estes, Opal Gipple, Clifford Harris, Isabella Headden, Agnes Hovorka, Dorothy Rey- nolds, Ralph Porter, Leona Appleyard, Wilbur West, Irma Johnson, Milford Johns, Lena King, Elmer Mart, Gertrude Miller, Delbert Peterson, Viola Peter- son, Lyle Pippit, Emil Prochazka, Carl Rath, Onalene Schneider and Wayne Shaver. Several of these members sailed away on a small row boat before we finished the second voyage, thus diminishing our class, but still having a suf- ficient crew of sailors to man the vessel. Many of our crew now lost their fear of the dark seas and began exploring the many social and activity regions. They were: Irma Johnson, Onalene Schneider, Emil Prochazka, and Milford Johns in Orchestra; Pauline Estes, Irma Johnson, Lena King, Onalene Schneider, Leona Appleyard, Milford Johns, Wayne Shaver, Merle Cory, and Wilbur West in chorus; Irma Johnson, Viola Peterson and Isabella Headden in Latin Club. Our main social events were an indoor party and a skating party. The voyage was closed by a successful picnic given on a very rainy day. After a short rest we again continued our voyage with a new and greater goal than before, much enlarged upon by Mr. Elkins, our chosen Captain. He promised us that there were great things in store for us. And we began the third voyage in search of them and found many. Irma Johnson was President; Elmer Brown, Vice President; and Milford Johns succeeded by Wayne Shaver as Secretary- Treasurer. Several other sailors joined us. They were; Elmer Brown, John (Continued on page 34) -15— - I--------—■ ■ ■ THE SPUDPICKER • ' ■■■■ ■ 01Jnss rtf 1529 ONALENE SCHNEIDER Orchestra ‘3’ Chorus ‘4’ Girl Reserves ‘4’ ELMER MART Football ‘2-3-4’ Track ‘3’ Latin Club ‘3’ Hi Y ‘3-4’ HOLLIS HEDGECOCK Football ‘4’ Senior Play ‘4’ Class Sec.-Tres. ‘4’ LLOYD HARTMAN Annual Staff ‘4’ RALPH PORTER Junior Play ‘2’ Latin Club ‘3’ Class Play ‘3’ Basket ball ‘3-4’ Hi-Y ‘3-4’ Secretary Hi-Y ‘4’ AGNES HOYORK A Latin Club ‘2-3’ Junior Play ‘3’ Senior Play ‘4’ Girl Reserves ‘3-4’ Vice Pres.

I immediately recognized his name and knew he was my class mate back in ’29. He informed me that he had owned a drygoods store in his old home town, Marsland, but dis- appointed over a love affair, he sold his store to Ralph Porter, a very wealthy business man, and went away trying to forget. Feeling sorry for Mr. Hartman, I invited him to attend the movies with me that night. To our surprise we found the show to be featuring Onalene Schneider, who had already become a very famous star. As Lloyd could not find work, he stayed with me the next day and we discussed some of the affairs of the past and present. He informed me that Marsland had grown to be a large city because of the oil industry. Hollis Hedgecock, who had discovered oil on his father’s ranch, was getting very wealthy, his corporation turning out about 500 barrels of oil a day. Some time later, I decided to take a trip to Western Nebraska and visit my old friends and relatives. Leaving Omaha one afternoon by aeroplane, I made my first stop at Grand Island. Because of the severity of the weather, I could not go any farther by aeroplane, so I decided to take a bus to North Platte. I thus met Bruce Keckler who was the driver of the bus. He owned several busses and was doing a prosperous business. He told me that he had met Wayne Shaver who was still trying to learn something and was going East to attend some school. When we arrived in North Platte the next day, we went to a restaurant to eat dinner. Here we met Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Fleming. Mrs. Fleming was formerly of Marsland. They had been living in Marsland but recently moved to North Platte, where Mr. Fleming was employed as a depot agent. As the train to Alliance was soon due, I left my old friends and hur- ried to the station. When the train neared, I noticed that the engine was of a new type. While examining it, I met Otto Von Bargen, the operator. He asked me to ride with him to Alliance and this I was glad to do for he told me such interesting news. His company sold one of the engines to the railroad company but it could not find anyone that could operate it so Otto was hired for a term of five years with extremely high wages. As we neared Alliance I noticed it was a much larger city than when I saw it last. During my night’s stay there, I met Alfred Wyland. He was carry- ing passengers between Alliance and Marsland, by means of a number of planes which he controlled by radio. His latest passengers were Lena King and Agnes Hovorka, who went to Marsland to teach the English language. The next morning, I took the train to Hemingford, where I met John Blundell at the station. He was operating a taxi and wished to show me about the city. After driving around for some time we passed a very smart looking shop which could not help but attract our attention. Upon inquiry I learned it was a beauty shop, owned and operated by Pauline Estes. Hemingford was still a spud center but was made more famous by the great factory built by Delbert Peterson. Delbert had invented an apparatus (Continued to page 30) — 17— :THE SPUDPICKER- Class of 1929 PAULINE ESTES Latin Club ‘3’ Girls’ Gym. ‘3’ Chorus and Operetta ‘4’ Sec.

Being of both perfect good sound mind and body, with no feeling of partiality to Mr. Carter, our sponsor, Mr. Elkins, our Superintendent, Miss Melvin, our principal, Miss Gregg, the English teacher, Miss Spence, our commercial teacher, Miss Rohlfing the mathematic instructor, to the student body as a whole the Juniors, the Sophomores, the Freshmen, and the coming Freshmen class, and after much deep and sincere meditation characteristic of our loving-nature and abounding kindness, we the Seniors do hereby give and bequeath the following property and wealth: Section I. Bequeaths to the Faculty We the Seniors, will our great ability in over looking the lack of proper training and mistakes of the lower classmen to our highly trained and well post- ed Faculty, and sincerely hope they may profit by it when the Freshmen class becomes too trying, and will show some appreciation in behalf of our loyalty and kindness. To Mr. Carter we will our great admiration in the remarkable skill in coaching and sponsoring the class of ’29. To Mr. Elkins we bequeath a physics class who get their own experi- ments, instead of borrowing the neighbors. To Miss Melvin we will our deep admiration of her loyalty to all classes of the old H. H. S. To her also we owe our ability as politicians. To Miss Spence we bequeath another good second-hand typing class, but we hereby warn the members of this class to beware of erasing mistakes, for we know by experience. To Miss Gregg we will a peaceful, happy country home, somewhere be- tween here and Alliance, in which her classes are never over. To Miss Rohlfing we bequeath a new class of inquisitive Freshmen. Section II. The Student Body To the Student Body we, the Seniors, will all reference books, half empty ink bottles, partly chewed sticks of gum, second hand rulers, pencils, pens, dirty and scarred books, marred desks, and free use of waste-paper baskets, es- pecially in Mr. Carter’s Assemblies. To the Juniors we bequeath section one of the high school assembly, we also will them the right to acknowledge the Freshies into high school the coming year. To the Sophomores we bequeath the occupancy of the already crowded and marred center section of the assembly now occupied by the Juniors. To the Freshmen we bequeath a transfer next year to the assembly on the upper floor and we hope they will soon learn to respect their superiors. To the new Freshmen class of next year we bequeath our admirable (Continued on page 68) —19— ■ -THE SPUDPICKER------- -E - CnbU ttf (Lnnti'uts Title Page ................................... 1 Foreword ..................................... 2 Dedication ....................................3 In Memoriam .................................. 4 Hemingford Public Schools ................... 6 Hemingford School Board ..................... 7 Annual Staff ................................. 8 Hemingford School Building ................... 9 High School Faculty .......................10-12 Alumni .......................................11 School Calendar ..............................13 Senior Groups ..........................14-16-18 Senior Class History .........................15 Senior Class Prophecy ........................17 Senior Class Will ............................19 Normal Training Class ........................21 Grade Teachers .......................... 22-24 Senior Class Roll ............................23 Commercial Department ........................25 Junior Class History .........................29 Debating Class ...............................30 Sophomore Class ............................33 Girls’ Gym Class ............................34 Freshman Class History .......................37 High School Chorus ...........................38 Snaps ........................................41 Grade Groups ..............................42-56 Bouquets .....................................57 High School Orchestra ........................59 Snaps ....................................... 61 Football Resume ..............................63 Basketball Resume ............................74 Student Council ..............................77 Appreciation .................................79 —20— „3—------------------- the spudpicker HEMINGFORD’S FIRST NORMAL TRAINING CLASS Left to right (Top row) Vera Roland, Lena King, Marie Duhon, Agnes Harris. • Middle row) Ethel Headden, Isabella Headden, Margaret Roth, Gladys Katen, Viola Peterson. • Bottom row) Ruth Laeger, Lucille Hedgecock, Doris Johnson, Jessie Cross, Iola Hansen. THE BUILDERS A builder builded a temple, He wrought it with grace and skill; Pillars and groins and arches All fashioned to work his will. And men said as they saw its beauty: “It never shall know decay, Great is thy skill, O builder! Thy fame shall endure for aye.’’ A teacher builded a temple With loving and infinite care; Planning each arch with patience, Laying each stone with prayer. None praised the unceasing efforts, None knew of the wondrous plan, For the temple the teacher builded Was unseen by the eye of man. Gone is the builder’s temple, Crumbled into the dust; Low lies each stately pillar, Food for consuming rust; But the temple the teacher builded Will last while the ages roll; For that beautiful unseen temple Was the child’s immortal soul. —21— THE SPUDPICKER ■ � (brntte writers MISS VONIA MONK Seventh and Eighth Grades —22 —1« - r = THE SPUDPICKEE ‘inxnir Class l ull JOHN B. “All the famous people are dying and I don’t feel well myself.” PAULINE E. “Tall men are built like angels with hammer and chisel and pen, I will work for myself and for women forever and ever—amen.” LLOYD F. “Let every man be master of his own fate.” LLOYD H. “I cannot deny that I am interested in the lassies. ’ ISABELLA H. “Set your ideal high enough so there is room to climb.” HOLLIS H. “One hour in which to study, one hour in which to eat, two hours in which to think how tired I am, and twenty hours in which to sleep.

We have twenty-three pupils in the department and are ex- pecting at least thirty-five next year. Our department consists of typewriting and shorthand now but next year there will be an advanced class so we will add office practice along with the advanced shorthand. Business English and Bookkeeping will also be added next year. We have shown this year that our Commercial people are not beneath those of other schools and I hope next year that we will be, not only equal, but better. It doesn’t make any difference what line of work one intends to follow, a business course will not do him any harm. Phoebe C. Spence. (Lulruimr (Continued from page 13; 8.

Such a picture furnishes indisputable evidence of the resources of this commun- ity and an example of the progress which has made possible the building of public schools and community life in this county. The trade territory extends for miles in all directions. Being on the State Highway and on the main line of the Burlington, it is a thriving, growing town, with a population of one thousand. The rapid building program of the last fifteen years is still inadequate to provide permanent homes for all the individuals and families who desire to locate here. The town of Hemingford is located on a level, fertile table land in the midst of the richest farm land in the western part of Nebraska. Hemingford is one of the busiest towns in the state for its size and its progress is the result of a steady continuous growth over a long period of years. Local exports and imports by the Burlington railroad run as high as three and four hundred complete car loads of material per month. Organized agriculture, horticulture, live stock and crop associations are building for thrift and civic pride as well as furnish competitive material on economic basis.

The class motto was “Semper Fidelis,” or “Always Loyal.” The class consisted of the following: Maurine Butler, Irene Caha, Ralph Baldwin, Marion Danbom, Irene Donovan, Marie Duhon, Cecil Gibson, Faye Glass, Ruby Jordan, Beryl Haile, Iola Hansen, Agnes Harris, Ethel Headden, Gladys Katen, Dorothy Hopkins, Ruth Laeger, Louie Mackler, LaVerne Myers, Cyril Nor- ris, William Perrine, Oscar Planansky, Audrey Rodeman, Margaret Rodeman, Vera Roland, Merle Rosenberger, Margaret Roth, Lyle Scott, Harold Vance, Libbie Turek and Daniel Rodeman. Four of these, Daniel Rodeman, Faye Glass, Ruby Jordan and Irene Donovan dropped school. On October 30, 1926, we were initiated by the Seniors. The class reporters for that year were: Iola Hansen, Marion Danbom, Maurine Butler, Agnes Harris, Margaret Roth, and Vera Roland. When we entered school in September, 1927, we had four new mem- bers of the class, they were: Alfred Wyland, Austin Prebble, Kenneth Ball and Louis Planansky. The Same class officers were elected as the year before except that Iola Hansen was elected Secretary to fill the vacancy left by Dorothy Hopkins, who had moved to Omaha. Coach Durfee was elected sponsor. The class that entered school in 1928 was nearly the same as the preceding year except that Kenneth Ball, Louis Planansky, Ralph Baldwin, Lyle (Continued on page 37) —29— «a THE SPUDPICKER DEBATING CLASS This year opens the first debating class in the Hemingford High School. The members are: Harold Vance, John Blundell, Meryl Roland, Irene Brown, Wendell Northrop, Hollis Hedgecock, Fawn Hill, Dallas Wax and Jack Perrine. We had two no-decision debates with Alliance, we took the negative side the first time and the affirmative the second time. At the tournament Chad- ron forfeited the first round to us, and we lost the second round to Scottsbluff. We had the affirmative side of the question. We debated the question, “Resolved that the English cabinet form of Government is preferable to the presidential form of the United States.” The members who took part in the debates held with Alliance and at the tournament are: John Blundell, Harold Vance and Meryl Roland. After the tournament the time was spent debating several subjects before the class, and with Parliamentary Law. We are looking forward to next year finding us with a better and more experienced team.

I visited the high school and there I found Isabella Headden, principal and teacher of physics and history. She informed me that Viola Peterson had retired from teaching and was married and living in Ohadron. Thus one by one, I learned of my classmates. How glad I was that I was reminded of them and that I had taken my trip to Hemingford.

At the first of the year we numbered twenty-seven but later we numbered only twenty-three. We were very green and things were new to us. The ways of high school were hard to get used to. Wilma Cory was elected President but did not attend school the first semester so Lois Iverson, Vice-President, took her place. The President was ask- ed by the members of the Freshman class to appoint the sponsor and officers. Those chosen were as follows: Vice-President, Theresa Connely; sponsor, Miss Phoebe Spence; secretary-treasurer, Harold Hopkins. The vice-president and secretary leaving in December they elected Ralph Drury as vice-president and Allen Pitman as secretary-treasurer. Near Hallow’een we were initiated by the Seniors in the old high school building, after which they took us to the Methodist church and served us a very dainty lunch. The main social events of the year were two parties the first semester, one held in November and the other at Christmas. We gave one program the first semester. This was conducted by Theresa Connely. The class colors were royal blue and white. The subjects taken the first semester were: Latin, Algebra, General Science and English. The second semester we took Latin, Algebra, Agriculture and English. At the beginning of our Sophomore year we were promised by Mr. Elkins that there were great things in store for us. The class officers were: Miss Lois Gregg, sponsor; Wilma Cory, presi- dent; Russell Hedgecock, vice-president; Wendell Northrop, secretary and treas- urer.

It is the aim of this class to promote those tnings that will develop the physical side of life. The class work always contained exercises which would develop the various muscles of the body. During the first part of the semester, basketball held full sway culminating in the inter-class basketball tournament February 15. At this time the Junior girls organized a team and played against a team com- posed of members of the other three classes. The Junior girls were victorious. Hiking found a prominent place in the work during the latter part of the school term. The members of the class are Maurine Butler, Wilma Cory, Jessie Cross, Cecilia Dolson, Dorothy Drury, Marie Duhon, Erma Estes, Irene Gilbert, Beryl Haile, Marquoketa Hamlin, Iola Hansen, Lois Haynes, Jeanette Iverson, Alma Johnson, Jane Kloppel, Jessie Meyer, Viola Peterson, Velma Plahn, Alice Planansky, Ella Rees, and Charlene Rosenberger.

Several of our girls, Irma Johnson, Pauline Estes and Viola Peterson joined the Gym class sponsored by Miss Spence. We gave several boys to the Hi-Y organization and many girls joined the Girls’ Reserves now called the Royal Blues.

We are very proud of our chorus as it includes some ex- cellent talent. The chorus appeared before the public at the time of the high school carnival, and on several different occasions different numbers were given by different members. Several members of the chorus rehearsed the songs that were given by the Western Nebraska High School Chorus at the Sixth Dis- trict Teachers’ Convention at Chadron last fall. Due to the bad storms at that time these persons were unable to attend. Those who were going were Alice Planansky, Lois Iverson, Velma Plahn, Kenneth Kloppel, and Oscar Planansky. The operetta, Polished Pebbles,” was given at the Hemingford High School auditorium on Friday evening, April 26. Miss Edith L. Melvin, Director J.

The orchestra has shown marked improvement. They have played for chapel exercises, and presented a short program at the high school carnival. This year the orchestra met three days weekly, and rehearsed forty minutes, the regular length class period. In this way more interest in the work was manifested, and more progress made. We have purchased several new, and more advanced, collections of music, which have called for hard work and diligent practice. We are trying to create a liking for and a desire to play really worth while orchestra music, and this can be done only by studying and interpreting the same.

But nine sessions were had in preparation for the first game. Eighteen men were taken on the trip. Bruce Keckler was chosen cap- tain and thus they undertook to conquer Minatare. The game was interesting from start to finish. Early in the first half of the game our boys received the first break but due to inexperience of game conditions, the boys were unable to score. Minatare converted fumbles into touchdowns and won the game n the first half. The boys came back the second half and held Minatare scoreless. The final score was 12-0. From that time on the boys decided never to taste of defeat again. Bayard, St. Marys Academy, Dalton, Hay Springs and Mina- tare each in turn fell before the mighty drive of the Hemingford Spudpickers. Seven straight victories were marked up on the calendar. Captain Keckler led the boys to victory 7 times out of 8. Few captains receive such an honor. The games of the season were as follows: Minatare there, Sept. 21. ost 12-0: Fejard heie. Sept, 28, von 9-0; St. Mary’s Academy there, Oct. 5, won 12-2; Dalton there, Oct. 12, won 24-0; St. Mary’s Academy there, Oct 16, won 6-0: Hay Spiings here, Oct. 26. won 42-0; Minatare here, JSTov. 9, won 7-0; Dalton here.

Ken was a great help to the Spudpickers being able to play any position on the team. He was handicapped the last two games of the season having a broken collar bone. He has been elected Captain of Spudpickers for next season. Bruce Keckler (Keck) Captain. Bruce was our fastest man out for football, played a clever shifty game and was a real halfback. He will graduate this year. Hollis Hedgecock (Holley) Tackle. Hollis played his first year of foot- ball for H. H. S. and stopped many of the opponent’s plays. Hollis was always there, playing in every game and every quarter. He received honorable mention in Western Conference. Cyril Norris (Sap) Tackle. Sap al- so helped to open many holes in op- ponents’ lines and made many tackles. He will be back next sea- son and will be one of the Spud- pickers’ experienced men.

Elmer has played his last football for H. H S., having made 3 letters and received honorable mention in the Western Conference in his senior year. Wayne Shaver (Shaver) End. Wayne played a good game at end and was good at picking passes out of the air. Wayne’s ability at catch- ing passes was a great help in the second game of the season with Minatare. This is his last year and H. H. S. will have to develop a new end next year. Merle Rosenberger (Rosie) Half- back. Rosie made his letter at halfback although most of his play- ing this season was on the line. He will be one of Hemingford’s dashing halfbacks next season. Harold Vance (Vance) Guard. Har- old played a good game in the line and will always be remembered for his fighting spirit while on grid- iron.

Emil Prochazka wills his red marks to Fat Cory. He also wills his excellent deportment grades to Marion Danbom, who we think needs an uplift, on the subject. Delbert Peterson bequeaths his four-year-o’d ways to Merrill Wyland. we hope Merrill does not ride his stick horse to death. Ralph Porter bequeaths his happy-go-lucky disposition to Shorty Gib- son.

Now following the order of our predecessors a Spudpicker Staff was chosen. The Annual Play, “Cyclone Sally,” was given and with the help of Mr. Carter was put over as a great suc- cess. Since we were willed the privilege of initiating the Freshmen Class by the Senior Class of the previous year, we decided to do it up right, but as we were rather busy we were unable to over take them until the second semester. Then, after a short delay, we proceeded to deal with the situation. It was agreed upon that we had made a grand success of it. Then as graduation was drawing near, we were honored and entertained by the Juniors by bountiful banquet given May 10th. Our four year voyage is now drawing to an end. Soon we shall be individual sailors alone upon the sea, “The Sea of Life.” But each of us will be the happier for the four years’ voyage together. We shall always remember with pleasure our High School joys and forget our sorrows. “We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us.” frt'shituut (Class Biistur (Continued from page 37) were played after which a delicious lunch was served. Everyone reported a good time. Howard Whelan and Fawn Hill have gone out for basketball. How- ard went to Harrison with the boys Wednesday, January 23, 1929, but did not get to play. He played with the boys on our floor Friday, January 25, 1929. Fawn Hill played with the boys on our floor January 11, 1929. At the beginning of the second semester the Freshmen were called together by the honorable Seniors to be officially initiated into the Hemingford High School. A Grand Circus was the main feature of the evening. The Fresh- men of course made up the circus troupe and offered entertainment for all. The middle of March found the Freshmen the proud owners of a pen- nant in their colors, rose and silver. Katherine Langford, ’32.

Oscar was not one of the regulars but he, too, was very good in mak- ing gains through opponents’ lines. Oscar is a Junior and will be one of the Spudpicker stars next season. Merle Cory (Fat) Fullback. Fat’s line plunges were a great help to Spudpickers this season. He gained many yards by hitting Minatare’s line and helped very much to de- feat them in the second game of the season with them. JOKES Merle Cory—“When I die I don’t want to go to heaven.” Harold—“Why not?” Merle—“Business all gone to H—” Russell (to partner leaning over the rail)—“Whats the matter, brother, weak stomach?” Wayne S.—“Weak H—, I’m throwing it as far as the rest of them.” Delbert P.—“For two cents I’d kiss you.” Helen M.—“Here’s a dollar, lets get goin.” Edward Goodrich says he won’t join the Salvation Army until he finds out who they are fighting for.

Isabella Headden bequeaths her excess baggage to Marquoketa Ham- lin. Lloyd Hartman bequeaths his ability to shoot pool and smoke stogies to Wesley Furman.

John Blundell bequeaths this highly honored duty to some very un- fortunate senior of next year and he hopes he or she does as well as he himself thinks he has done. Section IV. Miscellaneous After careful consideration of those who, by all indication will carry the honors in school activities such as football, basketball, track and debate, the following document was transcribed for their benefit: Bruce Keckler wills his position at half-back to Wesley Furman. Elmer Mart wills his position at left end to Tubby Vance. Wayne Shaver wills his position at right end to Marion Danbom, and expresses his desire that Dannie won’t break his arm again chasing air bubbles. Hollis Hedgecock bequeaths his position at left tackle to Bill Perrine. John Blundell bequeaths his position at left guard to Merrill Wyland. Bruce Keckler bequeaths his position at forward to Dallas Wax. Wayne Shaver bequeaths his position at center to Lloyd Appleyard. John Blundell bequeaths his position on the debate team to Dallas Wax. Otto Von Bargen bequeaths his speed on the typewriter to Merle Cory. Agnes Hovorka bequeaths her speed writing shorthand to the next generation of shorthand writers. As this concludes this great document, the last will and testament of this deceased class of 1929, we as a last wish, hope that the beneficiaries of this statement will enjoy their inheritances.
