EX LIBRIS This book belongs to and please return it. You may think this a strange request, but I find that although many of my friends are poor mathematicians they are nearly all of them good bookkeepers.”—Scott. � Dolume ID Published Bq The SENIOR CLASS Of 1930 1930' THE SPUDPICKER ■1930 SUPT. C. A. EI.KINS Dedication We, the Senior class of the Hemingford High School, feel that nothing could be more fitting than to dedicate this volume of The Spudpicker to Suph C. A. Elkins. This is the fourth year for Hemingford High under his leadership. While devoted teachers have given generously of themselves and their skill, and our students have so successfully caught its spirit, yet it is to Mr. Elkins that the school owes its high standard of scholarship, its ideals and the rare spirit of fineness which we believe to be characteristic of our well beloved “Hemingford High.” 0 1930- THE SPUDPICKER 1930 Foreword Build a little fence of trust around today, Fill the space with loving work and therein stay, Look not thro’ the sheltering bars, upon tomorrow, God will help thee bear what comes of joy or sorrow. —Selected. 1930 THE SPUDPICKER •1930 )h emortam 8 1930 THE SPUDPICKER •1930 weary. 9 1930' THE SPUDPICKER Annual Staff Editor-in-chief ..........

Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait, Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and, passing by Hovel, and mart, and palace, soon or late I knock unbidden, once at every gate! If sleeping, wake—if feasting, rise before I turn away. It is the hour of fate, And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save death; but those who doubt or hesitate, Condemned to failure, penury and woe, Seek me in vain and uselessly implore— I answer not. and I return no mere. —John James Ingalls. • 1930 12 Book 1. cfhe School Administration The Buildings The Faculty Departments S-o- 193(b THE SPUDPICKER 1930 Hemingford Public Schools The Hemingford High School is fully accredited to the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.

We held a meeting the first week of school to select the class colors, class flowers, officers and sponsor. The officers elected were: Irene Caha, presi- dent; Dorothy Hopkins, secretary; Maurine Butler, treasurer; and Miss Overton, sponsor. After much discussion, it was decided that the class colors were to be maroon and grey and the flower the red carnation. 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, Beryle Haile, Iola Han- sen, Agnes Harris, Ethel Headden, Gladys Katen, Dorothy Hopkins, Ruth Leager, Louie Mackler, LaVerne Mvers, Cyril Norris, William Perrine, Oscar Planansky, Audrey Rodeman, Margaret Rodeman, Vera Roland, Merle Rosenberger, Mar- garet Roth, Lyle Scott, Harold Vance, Libbie Turek and Daniel Rodeman. On October 30, 1926, we were initiated by the Seniors. When we entered school in September, 1927, we had four new members in our 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 pro- ceeding year except that Kenneth Ball, Louis Planansky, Ralph Baldwin, Lyle Scott and Audrey Rodeman had either moved away or dropped school. New students were: Doris Johnson, Bernice Fleming, Loren Taylor, Willis Hedge- cock and Jessie Cross. New class officers were: Marion Danbom, president; Iola Hansen, vice- president; Beryle Haile, secretary and treasurer; and Miss Spence was elected sponsor. Our class play was given March 8th and 9th. The annual Junior-Senior banquet was held May 10th. The room was very attractively decorated. On September 3, 1929, we reached the foothills of our Senior year, after a hard four-year struggle. Cur sponsor and class officers were as follows: Mr. Elkins, sponsor; Marion Danbom, president; Dorothy Hopkins, vice-president; and Beryle Haile, secretary-treasurer. On December 5th and 6th we gave our annual class play, “Smilin’ Through,” coached by Mr. Elkins, our sponsor. It was put over with great suc- cess. On May 7th we were entertained by the Junior class at a beautiful an 1 tasty banquet. And now, friendships dear and sacred must be broken, each member- taking his own little way down the winding pathway of life. The time will ccme when these school days shall only be golden memories of friendships that have weathered many storms and come through with colors flying. 23 Iola Hansen, ’30. 1930 •THE SPUDPICKER 1930 PHOTO BT LUMIERE STUDIO.

JOKES JUST WOULDN’T HELP He was up for his university examination. It was well understood that he was dumb’' intellectually, but the powers that be were anxious to pass him, for he was a fine oarsman and was needed in the crew. “Just put down something,” pleaded his tutor. ‘‘Write down anything you can and we’ll ge.t you thru somehow or other.” And he left the pupil to it. The sturdy youth sat for an hour gazing at the virgin paper before him. Then in disgust or despair he scrawled the word DAM” on the paper and left the room. Later on his tutor came up to him more in sorrow than in anger. “We can’t pass you,’’ he said glumly. “You’ve spelled it wrong.” Donald Britton: “I’m going to buy myself a harem.” Hcwaid. What do you mean? You can’t buy a harem, can you?” Donald: “Sure, I saw a sign at a gas station that said ‘Six rials for a Dollar’.” 1930 THE SPUDPICKER 1930 Junior Class History The Junior class officers are as follows: President, Kenneth Kloppel; vice-president, Russell Hedgecock; secretary, Irene Brown; treasurer, Dortha Bunce; class reporters, Harold Hopkins, Ralph Drury, Velma Plahn. We were an awed and trembling group of Freshmen that entered high school in the fall of 1927. We were green” and things were new to us. The ways of high school were difficult to learn. The class officers were elected as follows: Lois Iversen, president; Theresa Connely, vice-president; Miss Phoebe Spence, sponsor; and Harold Hop. kins, secretary-treasurer. Near Hallowe’en we were initiated by the Seniors in the old high schoo. building, after which they took us to the Methodist church and served us a dainty lunch. The main social events of the year were two parties during the first se- mester, one held in November and the other at Christmas. The class colors were chosen as blue and white. The subjects taken the first semester were: Latin, Algebra, General Science and English. The second semester General Science was substituted for Agriculture. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, the class officers were elected as follows: Miss Lois Gregg, sponsor; Wilma Cory, president; Russell Hedgecock, vice-president; Wendell Northrop, secretary-treasurer. Several new members joined us in 1928. Most of them are still with us. The subjects taken in the Sophomore year were: Latin, Geometery, European History and English. We found that at the beginning of our Junior year, great things were in store for us, among which were the Junior-Senior banquet; our class play, “The Henpecked Hero;” and many other things equally agreeable. The officers elected were as follows: Kenneth Kloppel, president; Rus- sel Hedgecock, vice-president; Irene Brown, secretary; and Dortha Bunce, treasur- er. Lois Iversen had been our treasurer until she moved away. We elected Miss Edith L.Melvin as sponsor. The class play, “The Henpecked Hero,” was given March 13th and 14th, 1930. It was a decided success. The new pennant was received this year and we certainly are proud of it. The Junior basketball boys received the pennant at the Inter-class Tournament this year. Several Junior girls were interested in Normal Training this year. Those who took the. course were: Gwendola Canfield, Bessie Fendrich, Agnes Hovorka, Dorothea Price, Bernice Roland, Merle Roland and Velma Plahn. Several boys and girls went out to participate in athletics this yea Many of them will receive letters. Many of the Juniors were interested in a business course. The Junior-Senior banquet was given May 7, 1930. Next year will find us all serious Seniors. 25 1930 •THE SPUDPICKER 1930 SOPHOMORE CLASS Top row, left to right—Jeanne Jewett, Lloyd Appleyard, Howard Whelan, Merle Olson, Alma Johnson.

Handing it to “Dannie,” he said: “Much obliged for the vase.” 1930 THE SPUDPICKER 1930 Sophomore Class History What an odd looking class we must have been when we gathered the fiist of September as Freshies, facing our high school days together. The first event was to hold a class meeting. We selected the red rose as our class flower; “Excelsicr,” meaning “Higher Up,” as our motto; and old rose and silver as our class colors. Our class officers were elected as follows: Erma Estes, president; Dallas Wax, vice-president; Jane Kloppel, secretary; Jack Perrine, treasurer; and Miss Rohlfing, sponsor. Fawn Hill was elected as treasurer when Jack Perrine moved t-o Scottsbluff. Adeline Tschacher and Cloyd Donner dropped thei first semester. Victor- ia Turek and Jack Perrine dropped the last semester. Harry Cullen, Lorene Burney and Ray Stull enrolled the last semester. Howard Whelan and Jane Kloppel were chosen from our class to repre- sent the Freshmen in the Student Council. Charlene Rosenberger was class re- porter. The last of the first semester we celebrated with a party. It was a real event, too. Howard Whelan and Fawn Hill were the only Freshmen boys who went out for basketball. Howard made a letter. At the beginning cf the second semester we were officially initiated by the Senior class. A grand circus was the main event of the evening. Of course, the Freshies weie made to furnish the fun for the entertainment. In March, we found ourselves the proud owners of an old rose and silver pennant. Thus ended our first year cf high school and we were Freshies no more. When we assembled again in 1929, we had lost Geneice Nagelschneider who went to school at Pleasanton. Nebraska, until thei middle of the first semes- ter, then came back to H. H. S. We gained a few members, namely, Donald Britton, Jeanne Jewett, Merle Olson and later Margaret Badger. Stanley Jankey has joined us now. Zilpha Harris, Merril Wyland and Jeanette Iverson have dropped now. We held a class meeting and new officers were elected as follows: Dallas Wax, president; Dcnald Briton, vice-president; Howard Whelan, secre- tary; Lorene Osborne, treasurer: and Miss Rohlfing, sponsor. Our reporters are Fawn Hill, class reporter; Erma Estes, social reporter; and Dallas Wax, sports reporter. Our colors, flower and motto are the same as last year. We are now the proud owners of a new large pennant. We think the Juniors and Seniors are a little bit jealous of it. In October we had a “hard-time” party. We all had a very good time. A number of Sophomores were chosen to entertain between acts of the Junior play. At the carnival, Jeanne Jewett, from our class, was voted most popular girl. She received an electric toaster. On May 25th, we plan to have a weiner roast, which we hope will be a success. Although it is fun to be a Sophomore, we can hardly wait until we are jolly Juniors. 27 Jane Kloppel. ’32. 1930 •THE SPUDPICKER 1930 NINTH GRADE Top row, left tc right—Frances Bliss, Mable Pederson, Nellie Furman, Eugene Hansen, Doyle Clark, Arnold Brown, Marjorie Carrell, Mary Hudson.

Yet, though I study until midnight, I shall gain no good. The parts of speech and their modifiers appall me. She handeth my exam papers back to me in the presence of my class- mates; she telleth me to study harder. I try but to no avail. Surely conditions, exams, and low grades will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the class of Business English forever.

And in this vision I saw my classmates, not as they are today, but as they will be in fifteen years. It seemed that I was in Hemingford, but it was so changed that I could scarcely 'believe my eyes. A city of huge buildings and with busy streets. As I started down Main Street I heard a terrible, clanging and turned to see a ire engine tearing down the street. The fire chief was none other than Loren Taylor, who was very excitedly waving his arms and begging for aid. I followed the crowd and found that the fire was in the school building. Upon arriving we found everyone out of the building and in charge of Professor Cecil Gibson and Principal Ethel Headden. When the fire was out I returned to the business district. In front of the Roxy Theatre I saw large signs and pausing to read them I found that the play of the evening was “The Flirt,” co-starring Ioia Hansen and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. As I was still staring someone called my name and I turned to find Cyril Norris, in fact, he informed me that he was now Rev. Cyril Norris of the M. E. church in Hemingford, and by his grave and almost sad gaze and solemn de- meanor, I knew it to be true. He asked me to be present at church Sunday, ad- ding that his text was The Sin of Dancing.” While we were conversing he in- formed me that he was returning from the station where he had been to see off Bernice Fleming and Margaret Rodeman, who were going to Africa to teach the Hottentots how to use slang. I asked Rev. Norris about his friend, Marion Danbom, and he said he was chief announcer of the Hemingford radio station, whose call letters were BUNK. He then directed me to the station. Upon entering the station I found Mr. Danbom selling an Atwater Kent radio to a couple of flappers. As they turned around I saw that they were Maurine Butler and Dorothy Hopkins, the same as of old. They told me they were a vaudeville team, the Murpheski Sisters, and were in close competition with the Dolly Sisters. They were in the studio that afternoon to launch a new song by Merle Cory, the great song writer. Mr. Danbom asked me into the studio to meat the other artists of the day’s programme. As we entered noiselessly, we found Marie' Duhon in the midst of a talk on “Ladies’ Up-to-date Wearing Apparel.” She finished and I found that she was running a truly Parisenne Style Shop in Hemingford. As the programme continued, who should appear but Louie Mackler and Merle Rosenberger, baritone and tenor, known to radio fans as the “Happy Boys.” They appear every afternoon thru the courtesy of the Johnson-Harris Candy Co., which they serve as draft clerks. (They open and shut the windows.) As the name Johnscn-Harris Candy Co., did not sound familiar, I in- quired and found that Agnes Harris and Doris Johnson have invented a new kind of candy. It carries with it a guarantee that it will give everyone who eats it more Spizzerinctum.” Just then a great commotion occurred outside the door and as we rushed to see what it was we found Willis Hedpecock trying to bust into the studio to advertise his new motor, the smallest one ever invented. It is built on a tie clasp (Continued on Page 55.) 41 1930 THE SPUDPICKER -1930 Senior Class U?ill We, the Senior class of Hemingford High School, professing to be in our right minds (?) do hereby make, declare and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking all other wills, bequests and devices, of whatever nature by us made.

GIRL RESERVES Organized during the first year in the new building, the Hemingford Chapter of Girl Reserves holds the enviable record of being among the first clubs to be established within the portals of the new building. By democratically throwing open its membership to any girl in the school and co-operating with other organizations, the club has nominally become the social melting pet of the school. In accordance with its symbol, the blue triangle, the club is a Christian organization which has undertaken as its goal and motto “To Face Life Squarely” and To Find and Give the Best.” Our officers are Marie Duhon, president; Jessie Cross, vice-president; Louise Dowell, secretary; and Marquoketa Hamlin, treasurer. We are very grateful to our leader, Miss Clara Ockinga, for co-operating with the girls to build up such a large and successful Chapter of the Girl Re- serves. Girl Reserve meetings were held every Wednesday morning from 10:20 to 11:40 o’clock. A different leader was appointed for each meeting and various subjects discussed. A party was held in the auditorium in October. This party will be remembered as the one at which “light refreshments” were served. We invited the Hi-Y boys to one of our meetings and gave a health program at Chapel. The strong man, knife in hand, gazed at the smooth white body in the water. “I cannot do it,” he groaned. “It is not a man’s work,” and the tears streamed from his eyes. The woman, with a look of scorn on her face, took the knife and finished peeling the onion. 43 1930' THE SPUDPICKER -1930 CAMP FIRE GIRLS Top row, left to right—Ruth Bottorff, Frances Bliss, Marjorie Carrell, Nellie Furman, May Homrighausen, Lillian Shimek, Lola Plahn, Doris Johnson Mildred Kent.

This de- partment was organized under the guidance of Professor C. A. Elkins. The Junior Review class was organized with the following enrollment: Jessie Cross, Marie Duhon, lola Hansen, Isabella Headden, Lucille Hedgecock, Doris Johnson, Gladys Katen, Lena King, Ruth Laeger, Vera Ronald, Margaret Roth and Viola Peterson, of whom Isabella Headden, Lena King and Viola Petersen were Seniors. The work of the class proved to be very successful and was one factor in helping give the. school admittance to the North Central Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools. At the opening of the school year of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-nine and Thirty, Miss Elsie Van Horn was placed at the head of the Normal Training Department and the seven remaining Juniors of Nineteen Hundred Twenty- eight who were still interested in the work were. Jessie Cross, Agnes Harris, Ethel Headden, Doris Johnson, Ruth Laeger, Vera Roland and Margaret Roth. These were joined by the following Juniors in the Senior Review class: Gwendola Canfield, Bessie Fendrich, Agnes Havorka, Velma Plahn, Dorothea Price, Bernice Roland and Merle Roland, making the entire class of fourteen. The Pedagorv or Professional Training class, organized for the Senior Normal Trainers, took up the study of the work of the Rural Standard School Plan and methods of proceedure in rural schools. In this course quite an ex- tensive study of Character Education was taken up. Of this class, five members are planning definitely on teaching next year and have schools in view. The aim of this class is not merely to go out as teachers, but to go out and make the best teachers. They plan to do all in their power to help raise the general standard of education and help promote its welfare by building up a stronger and better character in their pupils. The class wishes to express their sincere' thanks to Superintendent Elkins and Miss Van Horn for their guidance through the two years. Ethel Headden, ’30. r DC.T.C. SCUCIZ EtNTAI SURGEON 0. W.

Twelve girls, under the guardianship of Mildred E. Kent and assistant sponsorship of Mrs. T. R. Scholz applied for membership at National Camp Fire headquarters. Our application was recogniz- ed and our charter granted by the middle of November. We, are organized under the name of Wetomachick Camp Fire of Hemlngford. According to the custom of this group, each girl selected an Indian name and has symbolized It by her head band. Weekly meetings have been held each Wednesday morning and up-to- date we have had two Council Fires. In the few months of our organization, the girls have worked con- scientiously. Our goal is to attain our first rank, that of Wood Gatherer before school closes. A number of the girls lack only a few honors now. Then wo shall be entitled to wear our ceremonial gowns, the Insignia of this rank. We, the Wetomachick Camp Fire organized with twelve charter mem- bers, namely, Frances Bliss, Marjorie Carrell, Doris Johnson, Harriet Greene, Lola Plahn, Mabel Peterson, May Homrlghausen. Pearl Homrlghausen, Lillian Shimek, Mary Margaret Jenkins, Maxine Goodrich and Lila Northrop, Slnco then, four more girls, Mildred Planansky, Ardath Kloppel, Nellie Furman and Ruth Bottorff, have sought our fire.

The announcer kindly gave him two minutes. While Willis was talking I asked about Beryle Haile and found that she had secured employment in the local telephone office and is still looking for a ring. That Oscar Planansky is on the' All-American football team and is known as a second “Red Grange.” Also that Mildred Mills, who held the position of business manager of the radio station in Hemingford is now managing a husband quite as well. We were Interrupted by Margaret Roth who was to give a talk on ‘'Matrimony.” She has just buried her fourth husband and has another pros- pect. (?) Margaret told me that Ruth and Vera, in less than two years, gave up the hard struggle and secured the easiest way of getting three meals a day and a nickel for the collection box by signing a marriage contract and also that La Verne Myers, because of a pair of rolling eyes is now providing chewing gum for two instead of one. I left the studio and went into the music and book shop below it to get the newest piece of sheet music written by Merle Cory, when there on the counter was a book bearing the title, ‘‘The Life of Jessie Cross.” I opened it and was just to find out what I was to be when—someone shouted my name. I leaped from my chair, awake, and the dream had vanished. As I stood there a moment before answering a thought of the many wonderful times we had had together and that their bright memories will ever linger with us. Jessie M.

Mr. Harold Jeffers was nominated as our class sponsor. We also decided that purple and gold would be our class colors, and sweet peas as our class flower.

Although only part of the team was able to go, we feel that Hemingford made a good showing, Marvin Drury, our star high Jumper, took first without extending him- self. Although the judges only gave him credit for a leap of five feet, three and one-half Inches, there is not a doubt in anyone’s mind who saw the per- formance that he at least cleared the bar at five feet, five, Inches. Our half-mile relay team placed third. Members of the relay team In- cluded M. Drury, Kloppel, Cecil Gibson and Myers. Other boys representing Hemingford but falling to place were Bacon, DuBois, Johnson and E. Gdbson. A team of our best tracksters will compete at Scottsbluff, Friday, May 2. They expect to enter In the following events: high Jump, Javelin, sprints, shot put, and half-mile relay race. “How did the accident happen?” inquired the Justice. “Well,” stammered the young man, I dimmed the lights and was hug- ging a curve.” “Yeah,” retorted the justice, that's how most of these accidents happen.
