BUCKNER Dedication E. the Senior Class of the Hemingford High School, feel that nothing could be more fitting than to dedicate this volume of the Spudpicker to Miss Buckner, our teacher, sponsor and friend. Her efforts have brought us to the end of a successful High School career and to the beginning of a happy and prosperous future. Board of Education A. W. IVERSEN. President H. O. WILDY, Secretary O.

RAUCH Supt. 11 qiuss to his country an U-' educated Christian citizen, serues both Qod and man }or euer --Daniel Webster HE lasting and beneficial influence of sending out well-trained, right thinking young peor le of high ideals, as citizens, each year, must be recognized by everyone. Their value cannot be measured in dollars and cents. It means the right moulding of future generations. Each one, if sincere, well-balanced, earnest and ambitious, is a potential leader of thought, of ideals and of action, in his community. The worth cannot be over estimated. The Henrngford High School has for years held an important place in the l;fe of this community, but I believe that those who graduate this year have a greater opportunity to serve the state and nation than any of those who have graduated before. Going forth as they do with new ideals, a wonderful chance for leadership is before them. Never before has there been so many followers in proportion to the available leaders. May each one who has so freely received of this stafe’s educational service resolve in seme manner to contribute some worth while acievemcn1 for the advancement of the world's progress.

It is ssarfj composed of track, softball and tennis. Every year a Hemingford track team participates in the Regional meet held at Alliance. We have always been well represented and have won points every year. Until this year we have attended the Conference meet held at Crawford, but this meet has been discontinued this year. The purpose of track is to develop the boy out for it and everyone who has any ability is given a chance to represent his school at the track meets. It is a great developer. A boy will attain endurance, stamina, courage and know the value of good sportsmanship. The softball league is made up of the classes from the ninth to the twelfth inclusive. Every boy in his grade that is interested is given a chance to play. A double round robin is held and the team that has the highest percentage is declared the winner and receives the pennant. In the lower grades' fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth, a league is made up of six teams and they play a game every night. And it may be said of the grade boys that in comparison to their size and age they play as good a game as the high school men. In tennis we are very fortunate to secure a plaque donated by the Scholastic Sport Journal. Only a thousand of these are given each year through- out the United States and the schools best qualified receive them. A tournament is held and sixteen players must be entered, the winner is determined by an elimination process and he is awarded the plaque. The girls also receive a plaque similar to the boys’ and the same system is used. All competition is fair and the refereeing is done by qualified judges. The spring sports are directed by Mr. Chamberlin in the high school and Mr. Samek in the grades. They devote much of their time and effort and deserve a word of praise. � v wvwvv wwv iw ivww HHS 1935 —— es Donald Phillips—“Supposing I should bs taken away suddenly, what would become of you?

HIS year, for the first time, an extra, but entirely efficient athletic ad- visor, has been at hand. It was decided to place him in charge of all younger students, and those who were not engaged in regular or- ganized athletics, for supervised athletic training. It is believed that Mr. Chamberlain has done a world of good. Close attention to the abilities of his charges has established the fact that not one displays his original lack of knowledge and ability that was obvious earlier in the year •HHS puapi I l ■ w ne ODuaoicKer •VWWWVNAAAAAAAAAA AAA AA V AA, 1935 Deb Jl Dram Top Row— NORMAN HANSEN.

Meetings are held regularly each Wednesday after school is dismissed. The meetings consist of readings, plays, soeeches, and debates.

The plays, both dramatic plays, were “In My Father’s House” and “The Honest Man.” In the former play, Neva Bailey, Lloyd Glau and Opha Nicholson were the three members of the cast, while Dick Launchbaugh, Edith Peterson and Clark Grau presented “The Honest Man.” October 11, Arlene Miller, Donald Peltz, Neil Dyer, Leland Burri, Har- old Drury, Lila Northrup. Evelyn Jurgens and Lloyd Glau presented the one-act comedy “Wanted, a Husband,” in convocation. All the members of the Dramatics class were required to learn, and give in public, one reading per semester. The first semester this took the form of two convocations when the readings were given. The second semester all the members of the class were entered in the Declamatory contest which was held March 5. The winners of each section, the humorous, dramatic, oratorical, and extemporaneous were sent to Crawford for the District contest held there March 22. The same evening that the Declama- tory contest was held, the one-act play, “Sod”, which was used as a contest play, was presented also. This play, a drama of western Nebraska, was prepared and presented by two casts which were as follows: Sally Barnes .................. Marjorie Miller, Neva Bailey Jim Barnes ................................ Dick Launchbaugh Tessie Barnes ........ Dorothy Phillips, Mabel Homrighausen Carl Carlson ................

BOR many years the Normal Training Department of Hemingford High School has been offering to its students vocational and specialized train- , ing for the teaching profession. It is the aim of this department to tram the students in the art of teaching. We desire to help them to become educational leaders, to get a clear vision of service, to make a plan and to gain the ability to realize, in a concrete way, the goal set forth. We also hope to out- line and organize for our students the fundamental factors of character edu- cation, which is, in our opinion, the basic principle on which all teaching rests. 1935 HHS' J{ Senior Praijer I thank you Lord For getting me by, I’ll have to admit I did not try.

Through me spirits immortal speak the message that makes the world weep, and laugh, and wonder, and worship. I tell the story of love, the story of hate, the story that saves, and the story that damns. I am the incense upon which prayers float to heaven. I am the smoke which palls over the field of battle where men lie dying with me on their lips. I am close to the marriage alter, and when the grave opens I stand near by. I call the wanderer home, I rescue the soul from the depths, I open the lips of lovers, and through me the dead whisper to to living. One I serve as I serve all; and the king I make myslave as easily as I subject his slave. I speak through the birds of the air, the insects of the field, the crash of waters on rock-ribbed shores, the sighing of wind in the trees, and I am even heard by the soul that knows me in the clatter of wheels on city streets. I know no brother, yet all men are my brothers; I am the father of the best that is in them, and they are fathers of the best that is in me; I am of them and they are of me.

Tne Rand family is a very wealthy family before the market crashes, in which they lose everything. Franklin Rand, father of the family, is the head of a very flourishing and prominent text book company and leading man in the community. After the market crash the text book business closes and the family fortune is lost, Diana Rand, a vivacious girl of 17 is prepared to go to an ex- pensive school in the East and is verv disappointed. Mrs. Rand cannot recon- cile herself to the loss of the family fortune. Richard Crandall a business man and a lawver hold5? the mortgage on the Rand home and forces Rand to sell his worldly goods to pay off the mortgage. Mrs. Rand, rather than to face this humiliation. leaves Franklin and goes to live with her Aunts. Donald Rand, the oldest boy, and Marjorie Scanlon furnish the romantic situation and are going to be married. Marjorie is the daughter of a notorious bootlegger and Donald’s family obiects strenuously to his marrying Marjorie, but he loves her and is determined to do it. Marjorie brings about the cl'max by incriminating Crandall with evidence which proves that Crandall had obtained his position as Super- intendent of the Emplovment, a oosition which Rand had tried to obtain, bv bribery. She forces her h nd and Crandall seeing that everything is lost, resigns his posit4on over to Rand and the Rand family has a happy reunion and re- gains its lost s a+us. The play was well advertised and was a big success. Those on the advertising committee were Lloyd Glau, Harold Drury, Dick Launchbaugh and Clark Crau. Class tiistorij E. the Senior Class of 1935. entered high school as a trembling and awe- stricken group of Freshmen at the beginning of September in the year nineteen hundred and thirty-one. There were forty-one members in our class during the Freshman year. They were Dorothy Phillips, Leslie Appleyard, Darold Carrell, Vernon Roland, Leland Burri. Merle Sheldon, Gerald Mabin, Cecil Wardell. Russell Fisher, Neil Dyer, Janis Buess, Dorothy Blundell, Marjorie Rath, Doris Johnson, Neva Bailey, Maxine Goodrich, Mary Margaret Jenkins, Mildred Planansky. Sophie Retke, Edith Peterson Irlene Bebensee, James Potmesil, Lloyd Glau, Allen Leavitt, Rudy Burney, Margaret Johnson, Evelyn Jurgens, Mark Myers, Donald Phillips, Harrison Foley, Leverne Schneider, Hascal Green. Forrest Headden, Doris Mart, Edward Koudelka, Bertha Hiner, and Vern Planansky. During this year and the three years to follow Leslie Appleyard, Vernon Ro'.and, Gerald Mabin, Darold Carrell, Russell Fisher, Marjorie Rath, Doris Johnson, Sophie Retke, Irlene Bebensee, James Potmesil, Ceorge Conklin. Alan Leavitt and Rudy Burney were dropped from our midst. During the following four years, Dick Launchbaugh, Mary Margaret Hollinrake and Donald Peltz entered school here to graduate with the class of 1935. Anna Beal also entered during the four years but at the close of the first semester of our Senior year she moved away. The majority of us struggled through English and tried a mixture cf general science, Geography of Nebraska and agriculture. We elected our class officers as follows: Cecil Wardell, President; Lloyd Glau, Vice President; and Mildred Planansky, Secretary-Treasurer. We chose our class colors, Maroon and Gold. The class flower was to be the white rose. Our class motto chosen this year was: “Set your mark high and strive for the goal.” After one hundred and eighty days of Latin, Algebra, English and the mixture of General Science, Geography of Nebraska and Agriculture we decided we had enough school for a while and on the last day of school we went on a picnic. When we returned we received our report cards and thereafter for an- other year we were known as Sophomores. •HHS' One Spudpicker WWVW' I 'S J —-WVVVl VVV A A WWWWVVVVV. 1935 As Sophomores, we came to school one bright morning in September in the year nineteen hundred and thirty-two. We were obliged to flounder through some more Latin, juggle a carload of geometry, whistle through more English and observe the combats of The Ancients and The Moderns in European History. This year we elected the following class officers: Mildred Planansky, President; Mary Margaret Jenkins, Vice-President; Edith Peterson Secretary; Edward Koudelka, Treasurer and Neva Bailey, Reporter. Several parties were held throughout the year which included Latin parties after school with considerable work attached. Again, after one hun- dred and eighty days of diligent school work, we experienced a delightful picnic at the Chadron State Park. When we returned, a tired but happy group, some ; bits of cardboard were passed among the group and we discovered a very im- portant fact. We were Juniors! One typical autumn day in early September, in the year nineteen hun- dred and thirty-three, we entered school to note that we were given choice seats along the west side of the assembly. This year, we parted in our selection of subjects for some of us chose Normal Training and others Commercial. When the Juniors taking typing discovered the commercial room the uneven click of the typewriters could be heard daily. Officers were elected as follows: Dick Launchbaugh. President; Cecil Wardell, Vice-President; Mildred Planansky Secretary and Mary Margaret Jenkins Treasurer. The Normal Trainers began to wade into a river of reviews, music and the other necessary courses needed to pass a few teachers’ examinations. “Man or Mouse” was chosen for the Junior Play; it was very well received by an appreciative audience on Nevember nineteenth. During the course of the year, we honored the Seniors with a Presidential Banquet on May fifth. It was voted a great success. My! how this year has flown. Next the Juniors are seen climbing into the box of a four- wheel vehicle called a truck which sped toward Chadron State Park. We re- turned this time to find that we were Seniors. So here we are in a room all by ourselves for we are very dignified Seniors. In the final year, we were seen registering for subjects that were not compelled or taken and arranging for the required number of credits needed to graduate. Dick Launchbaugh was again elected President; Cecil Wardell Vice-President; Edith Peterson, Secretary and Neva Bailey, Treasurer. We, as Seniors, had one party during the first semester. Shortly after the first of January, we could be espied going down town most hopefully—too hopefully— to procure a flattering likeness from the photographer. On January fifteenth, a super-tone, yellow gold ring was chosen by the Seniors as a befitting symbol of the many happy experiences in Hemingford High School. Two months later the announcements were ordered. In March, preparations were begun for the class play, equal to or even superior to “Man or Mouse” given by the the class in the former year. This was made a big success in May. One fine April day, the mysterious annual “skip day” was made a reality by us. Then came the banquet which was one of the best in Hemingford High School. At last, the curtains are drawn and we are to be seen around the school no more for we have placed our books and good will in the hands of the future Seniors. 1935- Q l e SpudpicL T er w HHSN'v-' 's'v's -( c dSS IDill FELLOW STUDENTS. TEACHERS AND FRIENDS: PON behalf of my client, the class of 1935, of Hemingford High School City of Hemingford, County of Box Butte, State of Nebraska, United States of America, I have called you together upon this solemn and ser- ious occasion to listen to her last will and testament and to receive, from her dying hand, the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Listen, then, one and all, while I read the document, as duly drawn and sworn before me. We, the class of 1935, in individual and distinct parts, being about to leave the sphere of education in full possesion of a crammed mind, well-trained memory (?) and almost superhuman understanding, hereby revoking and mak- ing void all former wills and even promises, spoken, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of the hour. SECTION ONE: To our successors, the Class of 1936. we give the right to “haze” next year’s Freshmen providing: 1. That they shall keep athletics at a standard which shall not be lower than this year. 2. That they, including Eugene Rogers, shall produce a rhythmic, harmonious and melodious quartette. SECTION TWO: To the Class of 1937, we give growing intelligence, better manners and increasing judgment. May it ever brighten their lives! SECTION THREE: To the Class of 1938, we give better ability to get Algebra, Latin and English. May their deportment grades advance! SECTION FOUR: To the faculty, we give forgiveness for the many sleepless nights they have caused us and the right to punish oncoming classes if they do not live up to the austere examples set for them by the Class of 1935. crie SpudpicL 'I er H H S'vwv A 'v' ' v wwvwyvw' A ' I I ' vwwvyvw vwvwwwwwvyw« 1935 To Miss Buckner, we give a lot of luck in everything. To Miss Stilwell, we give a new baton and best wishes for 1935-1936 music. To Miss Young, we give a group of Biology students who do not faint at the idea of innoculating a rabbit. To Mr. Carter, we give a new pair of buggy-shaft spectacles and pleas- ing athletic results to view through them. To Mr. Chamberlin, we give a pleasant teaching career. To Supt. Rauch, worthy future citizens when the class of 1935 is but a memory. To Mrs. Rauch, results of the same gift which we think she will appre- ciate. To the grade teachers, the courage to strive that they too may have a graduating class that will compare with the class of 1935. SECTION FIVE: As members in good standing with the class of 1935. we, the following, as is our Just due, bestow these trifling bequests in the hope that they will be accept- able to those to whom they are given, as valuable assets. I. Neva Bailey, leave an open field of feminine conquests for the blondes. I, Dorothy Blundell, leave this advice to the lovelorn: “Never trust a man ' I, Janis Buess, leave nothing; all the Senior boys are graduating too. I.

Mary Margaret Hollinrake. will my reserve supply of Henna and ac- cessories to Marcylene Moranville. I. Grace Homrighausen, will this solemn advice to whom it may con- cern: “To avoid that future shadow refrain from over-indulgence and try all reducing extracts now on sale at reliable drug stores.’ I.

Evelyn Jurgens, will my driving gloves, my two old hair nets, my galoshes and my silk parasol to Hazel Nagelschneider. I. Edward Koudelka, will my number fourteen shoes, my aggressive at- titude and my blood-stained boxing gloves to Vernon Mann. I, Senor Richard Erwin Launchbaugh, Esquire, give sympathy to the memory of Cassanova; he too, at last, ended his pursuit of many to confine it to a few. I, Doris Mart, will my ability to devote my affections to one boy friend (at a time) to Marjorie Miller. I. Donald Peltz, will my boisterious ways to Lois Person. I.

An inviting motion picture an- nouncement displayed on the side of one of the better down-town theatres clinched my decision to enter. I was led to a comfortable seat where I settled myself to enjoy the picture. The preliminary “shorts” were in progress. This one was a revival of the old type of pictures with a reappearance of sev- eral former stars who were popular a number of years ago. Strains of Auld Lang Syne formed a background for the jolly old revival of a past decaae. Suddenly, I must have fallen asleep, for it seemed that I was back in the old home town, meeting former classmates and inquiring about those I re- membered in the old never-to-be-forgotten school days. I alighted from the new and improved Ultra-Streamlined train at the Hemingford Union Station and my surprise knew no bounds at the vast dif- ference between that and the old depot that I remembered. Allowing a Red Cap to take my bag, I followed him through the crowded place toward the door. As we passed the ticket booth, I was possessed with a feeling that I knew the fellow at the window. After halting the Red Cap to dismiss him with a tin. I approached the agent and opened a conversation with him. As we started to talk, I at once remembered the familiar voice of B'orrest Headden or“Frosty” as we had dubbed h?m in our high school days. Then I began to inquire about those who were at one time closely associated with us. Dick Launchbaugh, whom we remembered as the president of our Senior Class. I found to be City Mayor and still busily engaged in the lumber business which had spread until it was a state-wide corporation. Donald Peltz and Edward Koudelka were his office and Building De- partment Managers; Edward had just invented an improved system of blue prints. I left the good agent and as the hour was growing late, I desired to to procure a night’s lodging. I called a cab from the ranks that lined the depot and gave directions to take me to a good hotel. We had not progressed far when my curiosity was aroused by the breezy manner in which the driver was threading in and out of the traffic; I scrutinized him more carefully; could it be? Yes, it was Laverne Schneider! I pounded him on the back and when he recognized me he gave a big ear to ear grin for which he was noted in his high school days and we began to talk. In his excitement he failed to observe the change of a traffic light. He barged right on through it! A v histle shrilled; we pulled over to the curb. A perspiring policeman rushed over to us. His face was clouded with fury. No sooner had he spoken his first word of rebuke than I recognized Merle Sheldon. I alighted from the cab and handed him my card. He immediately changed his fac al expression and greeted me pro- fusely. When he heard that ou’ interesting conversation was the cause of our violation, he excused us after extracting a prcm:se frem us to see him again. We proceeded through town to a hotel which my companion said was operated by a person who would be glad to see me. When we reached the hotel which had been recommended to me, I was surprised to see the matronly figure of Crace Hcmrighausen bustling about the sparkling dining hall. She was as glad to see me as had been all the rest of my former acquaintances. She showed me to the finest room and I wasted no time in losing myself in the quiet realms of Morpheus. At breakfast I recognized another familiar face among the diners. It was none other than Leland Burri who, it seemed, had just returned from the cattle market where he had disposed of a goodly number of choice beef cattle. He was doing well on a large farm some distance from town. The country about Hcmingford was no longer a dry-land region; the engineering genius of Norman Hansen had transformed it into a region as fertile as the valley of the Nile. Cood old Norman! I thought of the good times the little “Swede” and I had in the old high school days. My journey up town was uneventful. Once the busy district was reached, during the morning rush to work, I appreciated the change that had taken place during my absence. I remembered now that I had heard rumors of a new o 1 producing district in Nebraska. Was it possible that this little community had spread to such untold extents as that? I turned into a corner drug store and inquired of the clerk the reason for the rapid growth of the city. He confirmed the report that oil had been discovered. The first to un- earth the precious Iluid was none other than Neil Dyer who had forsaken the dreary pursuits of farming and turned his attention toward this field of wealth production. I hoped I would meet him before I left the city. For some time I knocked about the public places of the down town district, hoping that I should encounter some more of my old chums. At last my patience was rewarded with the sight of the well-remembered figure of Vern Planansky. His natty attire proclaimed him a man of means. I inquired about his livelihood and he. bashful as always, told me haltingly that he was cartoonist for the Hemingford Clarion with Associated Press connections. The Clarion had prospered under the wise and capable management of Lloyd Clau and with the largest circulation of any daily tabloid in the middle west. As it was lunch hour. Vern and I decided to go to the Spudpicker. Hem- ingford’s el'te business men’s club. We partook of a light meal while talking of pleasant high school days. Vern mentioned that the afternoon was to witness the annual football conflict between Midwestern University, Hemingford’s own, and Princeton, fer the mythical national championship of the United States. When we arrived at the game Vern took me to the press box and there at the m'erophone sat Cec 1 Wardell. my bosom friend and classmate. Cecil told me that after he graduated he had attended University of Nebraska where he had graduated with honors. Then he went to Chicago and became affiliated the NBC; Here he met Graham McNamee and upon the latter’s retirement took over his position to broadcast the big sporting events of the year. We stayed in the press box and watched the opening quarter of the game. I gleaned from the reports that Clark Grau. erstwhile star at Heming- ford High School and later at University of Nebraska had returned to the site of his former conquests and had been appointed athletic director and head coach of the varsity football team upon the foundation of Midwestern Uni- versity and had led them through many successful seasons. While we watched his team romp to another victory to keep the championship at Midwestern for the second consecutive year, we saw no reason to doubt the success of his team. After the game. Vern, Cecil and myself followed the crowd toward the business district. On the way I chanced to glanced through the window of the taxi and saw displayed in large letters the fact that this was the place for all kinds of beauty aids, as prescribed by “Mimi.” I inquired if this could, by any chance, by Mildred Planansky; it was. Society debs and dowagers came here from all over the state for beauty suggestions. I set it down in my mind that I must see her before leaving. Not having heard of Evelyn Jurgens. Bertha Hiner or Janis Buess. I de- manded information about them. Evelyn was the major stockholder in a coast to coast automotive trans- port service and her diligence, patience and hard work had been the main factors in making it a huge success. Bertha Hiner had acquired no little fame as a nurse. She was es- pecially successful in the treatment of cancer. She was employed at present in the Hemingford Orthopedic Hospital in which she was interested financially as well as humanely. Janis Buess was at present enjoying the realization of her lifelong am- bition. She held down the precarious position of Air-Hostess in one of the New Autogiro United Airways’ transport planes. Her scheduled trip was from Berlin to Hong Kong twice a week. I cannot recall any other event, if any, that happened in my dream. But when I went down the nearby stairs I observed that it was the Hotel Phillips. I re-entered and inquired for the proprietor. I was told that neither of them, of which there were two. was there for the day as yet. As I turned to leave, the clerk called to inform me that they had just arrived. I turned around and there were the Phillips twins, as sure as I was a day old! They were as glad to see me as I was to see them. Upon their suggestion we dined across the street a. the Y. M. C. A., where Mrs. Guy Roberts (formerly Doris Marc,) now a secretary, accompanied us. I noticed as we made our exit that a huge store bore the inscription “Blundell”. Donald informed me it was owned by Dorothy Blundell and was the most fashionable dress shop in the city. For chief model and manikin Dorothy had Maxine Goodrich, who was a silent partner in the firm. Mary Margaret Hollinrake’s exquisite designing had made Hemingford the fashion center or the world. Dorothy mentioned that Neva Bailey (now Mrs. Neil Dyer) and friend Edith Peterson (now Mrs. Clark Grau) were professors at Midwestern University. This pleased me very much because if anyone deserved success it was they. I finally awoke when the usher tapped me on the shoulder to inform me that the show was over and they were locking the doors. The cool air struck my face and helped to rid my eyes of sleep in time to discover none other than Mrs. Bob Yarborough (formerly Mary Margaret Jenkins). The reason for her temporary excitement was a copy of Faust which she was carrying to the auditorium where she was to accompany several notables. When I arrived home, I found a fire blazing cheerily in the fireplace and drawing up an easy chair, I resolved that some day I would go to the old town to meet these people in reality rather than in dreams. recidtion WE.
