HEMINGFORD HIGH SCHOOL Hemingford, Nebraska Foreword Education is the light of the world. The orig- inal source of light is the sun, just as the primary source of success begins in the school. Man has learned to capture the sun's glow of light in a glass bulb; in like manner, man has been able to develop, from this primary foundation, achieve- ment of higher goals. The staff of the 1965 BOBCAT has taken the task of recording the memories associated with this year in H.H.S. just as light permanently records an image on the photographic plate of a camera.

Education is, most important, the devel- opment of one's intellectual faculties- this is academics. The student who is sincere about his education is willing to give any sacrifice for th's learning. Most of his sacrifices are in the form of time and efforts that he would prefer to spend elsewhere. In this picture, as light provides nec- essary aid to learning, learning provides a great essential for lifelono satisfaction in one's self. 3 School Board Formulate Mr. Wayne Shaver, president of the school board, is shown at his desk during a busy day. Mr. Vincent Rosenberger is vice president of the school board. He is shown here at work in his local place of business. Members of the school board play a double role. They determine school policy, plan the budget, hire teachers, and serve as general overseers of the school. They also play a vital role in the devel- opment of the community. Mr. Wayne Shaver is President of the school board, and the local Conoco bulk distributor, and associated with the S S LP Gas Company. He is an avid golfer and bowler and is active in many community affairs. Mr. Vincent Rosenberger, Vice President of the school board, is owner and operator of Rosenber- ger's Sundries. A popular epicee for local banquets and talent shows, Mr. Rosenberger is an active member of the Fair Board, the Masons, and the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Robert Kiester owns a farm north of town and is an employee of the Co-op Oil Company. Also a bowler, Mr. Kiester doubles as school bus driver. Mr. Hugh MacArthur is the manager of the Gambles Store in Hemingford. Very active in com- munity affairs, he is also an avid golfer and bowl- er. Mr. Hugh MacArthur takes time from his Mr. Lyle Speer, a local grocer, smiles plea- Mr. Bob Kiester relaxes in front of the’ work to pose for the camera. santly for the annual staff cameraman. truck which he drives for Co-op Oil. e=? 4 and Staff Policy Mr. Lyle Speer is the local Jack and Jill store manager. He is also the Chairman of the Retail Committee of the Chamber of Com- merce and a bowler and golfer. Mr. Garland Fisher is a farmer operating west of Hemingford. His products range from beets, to potatoes, to cattle. He is also a prominent community worker, active in its projects. He, like the others, enjoys bowling. Staff custodians, Bill Herbaugh and Irene Dyer, serve the school's needs quite well. Their long day starts early in the morning cleaning and preparing the school for the day’s activi- ties. Handling the office and putting up with many hectic pleas for materials and assistance is Mrs. Edna Reindl. Irene Dyer and Bill Herbaugh, school custodians, take a breather from their activities to pose for a staff photographer. Shown below is Mrs. Edna Reindl who doubles as school board treasurer and office secretary. Also shown is John Wiltsey, Hemingford's hard working district secretary.

ENGLISH SPEECH LIBRARY JOURNALISM JOSEPHINE JOHNSON Chadron State, B.A. Oregon State ENGLISH WORLD GEOGRAPHY WORLD HISTORY English Speech Looking over the finished pro- duct, Kaye Scott gets ready to turn in her Macbeth book- let for English 12. One of the most important facets of academics and our goal of a liberal education is the ability to express one's self effectively. The pen, the tongue, and understanding are three methods of attaining communication. It is English, Journalism, and Speech which are given to develop these abilities. Students at H.H.S. are required to register for three years of English with one semester of English Literature and one of Senior Grammar offered as an elective. It is English that sets the proper standards for use of the English lan- guage. In English, the students are given grammar and lit- erature each year. Also they are required to read certain famous works throughout the years. Reports and illustrated booklets are given on these works. In the last two years, students in Junior English have had a taste of the cultural works of music and literature. They are given a short but concise course in appreciation. This is very important to the development of the student's character and personality along with giving him a sample of the better things of life. Learning proper broadcasting methods. Kaye Scott, and Eloise Forsstrom prepare the Speech Radio Program. Left: Giving speeches takes research and Ken Flckel gives a speech after much time spent in the library. Right: Deciphering this Lat- in calendar, Donna Delsing finds out what day the For- mal is on. r r Interpreting Treasure Island can be confusing, as Mrs. Johnson points out to Marqie Wax. Journalism, and Latin Literature is very significant in the development of an appreciation of those artists who are the great masters of communication. In Literature, the student is exposed to many great works which are still appreciated now as they were in the century in which they were written. Grammar is the traditional method of using the English language properly when communicating. The student learns the rules and regulations of proper speaking and although this becomes somewhat repetitious to the student it is most essential. Also in the last two years, English students are being gradually introduced to the concepts of modern grammar which is being stressed in college. Although it has an entirely different approach to grammar, it still deals with construction and proper usage. Latin is placed in this section because, while it is not a development of communative abilities as such, it is a lan- guage and is very helpful in precise declension and classi- fication of words and constructions in the English lan- guage. Foreign languages are very important in giving the student a broad affluence of knowledge and is becoming a requirement for college application. Laying out sections takes time and effort as Diane Rowley finds out in prepar- ing her advertising section fot publication with Mr. Fod- nes. Left: Gathering ideas and as- signing stories occupies much of the time of Editor Greg Rosenberger and Assistant Editor Bonnie Gowin. The Fe- line is a Junior publication. Right: Running off the Feline is often a very inky mess as Bob Ray, John Laursen, and Jim Wacker find out. 1 The new overhead projector gets lots of exercise in Physics class as Mr. Beclc explains difficult problems to his puzzled class. Constructing a triangle from ihree given parts is one of the proc- esses which Mrs. Headden must explain to puzzled students like Laura Yardley. Natural Science As science tends to play an ever-increasing role in the preparation of a liberal educa- tion, more emphasis is put on these subjects in high school. This is justified by the evident need for science majors. In Hemingford High School, Juniors and Seniors are offered Trigonometry and Chemistry one year and Algebra II and Physics the alternating year. This year Algebra II and Phys- ics were offered. Algebra II is a supplement to first year Algebra and is given for the purpose of sub- jecting the student to a higher and more advanced form of mathematics. Physics is the study of mechanics, heat, sound, light, electricity, and ra- diation. Students learn the fundamentals of physical sci- ence through experimentation in the controlled atmosphere of the laboratory. MERLE BECK Hastings College. B.A. University of Nebraska, M.S.

BIOLOGY EARTH SCIENCE SCIENCE PHYSICAL EDUCATION Giving tests is a favorite pastime of Mr. Patterson, as he gives his Biology class a quiz. Board worlc is an important part of gain- ing workable knowledge in Math, says Mr. Belina. Dissection of frogs is not Laura Yardley’s favorite experiment. Lab sciences are required of H.H.S. students. Biology is offered to all Sophomores. This is the most popular lab sci- ence among the students. In Biology, students learn the prog- ress of life from the simple algae to the complex primates. He is subject to first hand experiences in dissection, which give him a better perceptive of the animal. General Science is required for all Freshmen. This year the course deals mostly with Earth Science. This is the student s first introduction to High School science and gives him a broad foundation for advanced courses. Algebra and General Math are offered to Freshmen and they are required to take one of the two courses. They both lay a basis for mathematical computation with Algebra being the more advanced. Geometry is offered to the Sophomores and it deals with proof of theorums that were previously taken for granted. It teaches the student that for every statement used there must be a reason for that statement along with a proof. Geometry, along with acquainting the students with its fundamentals, gives those interested in advanced mathematics a foundation for Trig- onometry. In requiring the student to take at least two years of math and science, the school realizes that this is essential because of the lack of these majors in our society of scientific adven- tures. Solving for two unknowns, Sharyn Rogowsk! uses lit- eral values to show the equation that works for any numerical value. ARNOLD QUINONEZ Colorado State College. B.A. Vender Cook College of Music.

Fine Arts Appreciation of the cultural aspects of life plays an im- portant part of development of the students' character. At Hemingford High various fields of art and music are of- fered. In the Junior High years the emphasis is placed especially on art since few students will have much time in High School. High School is basically devoted to enrich- ments of music interests. The Fine Arts department offers Senior High Band for those who are qualified. The vocal department offers mixed chorus and girls glee with nu- merous other smaller groups being offered. The chorus has been especially popular this year with some ninety-five students participating. The elementary music is varied with the grades but they are given a chance to perform at the all-school Christmas concert with the High School Band and vocal departments involved, also. Tuning their instruments to the piano are Janet Prochazka, Vera Glass, and Bonnie Gowin. as they prepare for the eight o'clock Found in one of their very rare practicing sessions are saxophones practice session.

TYPING BOOKKEEPING BUSINESS LAW OFFICE PRACTICE SHORTHAND PHYSICAL EDUCATION In a liberal education, a practical knowledge of busi- ness is favorable. For the student who is perparing a career in business, Hemingford offers an extensive course. Bookkeeping is available to all Seniors interested in attaining this knowledge. After spending the first several weeks of textbook study, the student is given a practice set to put his knowledge to practical use. This set includes all kinds of transactions and a com- plete cycle of bookkeeping methods. Office Practice is offered to the future secretary. The student is made secretary for a teacher and does much of his correspondence and typing. The course includes filing methods and much typing. The typing is an extension of first year typing and more proper methods are expected of the student. General Business is a semester course offered to Juniors with Business Law as the second semester por- tion of the course. The general background for busi- ness practices is given first semester with an extensive course in corporation law being given the second semester. Typing is offered to Juniors and gives the student a chance to develop his typing skills along with teaching the right way to type letters, documents, and other correspondence. Shorthand was offered the second semester to Sen- iors wanting to learn this handy skill. The course is also aimed at future secretarial careers.

HOME ECONOMICS LEE MESSERSMITH University of Nebraska. B.S. VOCATIONAL ARTS Vocational Guidance Vocational guidance and training is the practical approach and the student's intro- duction to everyday life and problems. It is an important part of the school in pro- viding this emphasized liberal education. In Home Economics H.H.S. girls are taught the practical and basic principles of homemaking. They are taught the practical arts of sewing, cooking, and the philos- ophy of child care ancl home management. The instruction becomes more advanced as the years progress. It is offered to Freshmen, Sophomores, and Seniors. Each year in the phases of home-ec, the girls are required to make projects and they present them at an annual style show in the spring. In Industrial Arts, boys learn design, welding, carpentry, metal works, and usable mechanical knowledge. Like home-ec, the boys are given an opportunity to use their knowledge acquired in yearly projects. These shop classes are offered to Freshmen, Juniors, and Seniors. Each year these boys turn out beautiful wood work and metal work along with acquiring a vast amount of first hand knowledge and experiences that will be useful later in life. Practicing welding techniques, Floyd Wegrzyn works on a proj- Final touches on his project are explained to Dick Zeller by Instructor ect in Senior shop class. Lee Messersmith. Determining her vocational aptitudes. Carol Price looks over re suits of her Kuder Preference tests with Mr. Johnston. In choosing a career, Sandy Grabber looks over college catalogs with Principal Harold Johnston. The Hemingford school system has a very efficient guidance program for the student. A series of tests are given for the purpose of determining the student's abilities and his potential. In the Junior and Senior years, the students are given preference tests to find their occupational interests and abilities. They are also given information pertaining to college entrance along with financial aid information.

AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AMERICAN PROBLEMS AMERICAN HISTORY GUIDANCE The heritage and history of the past which lead to the development of the present and are giving way to the fu- ture, play a primary part in the course of study at Heming- ford. From the past we are able to learn the mistakes and the errors made and are able to avoid repetition of the same kind of error. American History is required in the Junior year at H.H.S. From this course we learn the progress and the foundations that our heritage was built on here in A- merica. From the discovery of America to the present day, historians have recorded happenings that were important then and are now. The American Government class is given in the Senior year and is required. It deals with the law-making proc- esses that govern our land. It acquaints the student with the hows and whys of agency government. World History deals with the development of the whole world and each country's relationship with each other. We can trace man's development back into the beginnings in the Mesopotamian Valley of the Middle East. World Geography is offered to Freshmen and deals with the physical aspects of social development, and the effect it has on social changes. Below left: Illustrated maps give vivid details to Rodney Christensen and Mary Bruns as they look for the Holy Roman Empire in World History. Below right: Committees do most of the nation’s law-making research as a group of American Government students find out, much to Ron Hucke's dismay. Below: Showing films often gives the student a better in- sight. as Juniors in American History find out. Butch Klemke Jim Wacker. and Ken Kohrman set up the film. Although the primary function of the school is the development of the intellec- tual interests of the student, extra curric- ular activities, too, are important in the development of character, service, leader- ship, and sportsmanship. These activities often take a greater part of the student's time than do other func- tions of the school. Much work finds the student in the late of evening working on yearbook, newspaper, dramatics, sports, and music. Only after a satisfactory and satisfying job is completed is time taken to appreciate those moments that one has to himself. 15 NATION AI HONOS SOCIETY I National Honor Society FRONT ROW.

Marching Band Bound Hemingford High School's marching band par- ticipated at the Chadron Band Day festival and at Scottsbluff Band Days. They also performed at the half times of all home football games, presenting several maneuvers to entertain the crowd. The band and mixed chorus combined to pre- sent the Annual Christmas concert. In March the band attended the Northwest Conference Band Clinic at Chadron, and in April they attended the District Music Contest at Sidney. The Hemingford marching band was selected to perform at the Nebraska State Fair in September this year. The band was busy preparing for this and raising the money needed to finance the trip.

The spring concert was held prior to the contest, so the participants would be more at ease. At the district music contest, Hemingford received six superiors. They went to Dave Minich, tenor saxophone solo; saxophone quartet; Carol Price, piano solo; Sherry Wacker and Diane Gordon, vocal solos; and Madrigal. The band received an excel- lent and a good. At the band banquet, held in May, Pat Over- street was named outstanding band member. Awards were made to 17 other senior band mem- bers and to several junior band members. To close the band performances for the year, they played for baccalaureate and commencement.

Sev- eral smaller groups are formed from this mass of talent including trios, triple trios, duets, and several solos. These people usually perform at the district music contest. Singing is very important to one s cultural development and what is more impor- tant it provides a good time and unforgettable experiences for those who participated.

After weeks of hard work, the Junior class did a wonderful job on this 2 act comic fantasy. Two members of the cast who did a very nice job of acting were not members of the Junior class. They were Jerry Kiester, an eighth grader and Angie Bock, a sixth grader. The play was well attended and with the help of a cake walk held between scenes the Junior's netted about $195.00. The Juniors found this venture lots of fun and a good way to make money for the prom. A superb job of acting and a very good job of casting paid off in a play that will be remembered for its plot, characterization, and set. The Juniors worked hard on their play but the rewards came not only in money but in a great deal of personal satisfaction. Mrs. McThing was their play and they did it in great style. Hey the Kid, here comes that Kid. down fellers. This is one of the fa- miliar and funny things about Mrs. Mc- Thing. It seems there were people popping up and down from here and there to surprise and amuse the au- dience. The four ganasters pictured here are: from left Butch, Don, Ken, and Greg.

The annual Pep Club play was presented in the fall as the first dramatic production of the year, and it proved to be one of the most successful. It's Great To Be Crazy , a three-act farce by Donald Payton had a great plot, with plenty of humor and a wonder- fully casted list of characters. As the only real fund-raising project for the Pep Club it gave them satisfaction both dramatically and financially. The Ugly Duckling was presented at the one-act festival along with all of the speech contest entrants. i “The Ugly Duckling Portraying the classic characters of the Ugly Duckling’ in superb style that added rollicking laughter to the already funny plot were: Eloise Forsstrom as the Queen, Jim Wacker as the King. Patty Overstreet as the Princess. Ken Kohr- man as the Prince's valet. Kaye Scott as the Maid-in-Waiting, Arlin Sample as the Chancellor, and Don Lawson as the Prince. 99 “Dust of the Road” Receiving one of Hemingford's three superiors at District Speech Contest was The Dust of the Road , a serious drama in one act. The cast was Sandra Grabher as Prudence Steel, Steve Yardley as the Dust , Bob Plananslcy as Peter Steel, and Arden Wohlers as the Uncle. The District Speech Contest is undoubtedly the biggest event for the speech de- partment. This year was especially fruitful for Hemingford. The results were: One Act Play— Dust of the Road Superior Oral Interpretation of Drama Good Interpretive Public Address—Sherry Wacker Good Public Address (original)—Eloise Forsstrom Superior Television News Commentary—Phil Gasseling Excellent Poetry Reading—Patricia Overstreet Superior Informative Public Speaking—Barbara Roes Excellent Discussion—Sharyn Rogowski and Sandy Grabher Good and Excellent Extemporaneous Speaking—Bob Planansky Good Oral Interpretation of Prose Literature—Diane Rowley Excellent Also this year, the speech department partici- pated in the first annual Panhandle C Conference Speech Contest at Sidney St. Pat's High School. This year Hemingford placed second to Sidney and more important gained valuable experience for the upcoming District Speech Contest. Also par- ticipating in the contest were Alliance St. Agnes, Minatare, and Sidney St. Pat's. This year the speech department sponsored a bus trip to Scottsbluff High to see the production of the King and I. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed seeing a near-professional production. Also receiving superiors at the Speech Contest were Eloise Forsst- rom in Original Public Address and Patricia Overstreet for Poetry Reading.

The H Club includes all boys who have received a letter in football, basket- ball or track. For projects this past year the H club purchased a projector for the purpose of showing football pictures and worked towards purchasing a football and basketball clock. The H Club was in charge of football homecoming and the dance after the homecoming game. The profit made from the dance was used on their projects. Here are some of the vigorous members of H Club white- washing, H.H.S. Victory, on the main intersection of town during the homecoming pep rally.

These are the people directly respon- sible with the production of the annual. Al- though a very hard working staff, one has been known to find them in moments of con- fusion, chaos, and indescribable scenes of frustration; these moments are usually those just before a deadline. In the front row, from left to right, the Editor-in-Chief, Diane Manion who is the over- seer of all activities; assistant editor, Bob Planansky; together they formulate annual po- licy and regulations; Ed Planansky, sports ed- itor; and Pat Overstreet, Classes Editor. In the back row, left to right is Phil Gas- seling, co-advertising editor, Eloise Forsstrom, co-subscription editor, Diane Rowley, co-ad- vertising editor, and Sandy Grabher co-sub- scription editor. These four people are in charge of all fund-raising activities; the adver- tising editors have their own section to or- ganize. Also shown is the Activities Editor, Sharyn Rogowski, who takes the task of cov- ering all the extra-curricular activities. Caught in a contemplative picture depicting the theme of this year's BOBCAT are Diane Manion, Editor-In-Chief, and Bob Planansky. Assistant Editor, as they discuss annual policy. Shown in one of the many late night sessions that are necessary in the processing of an annual is the Activities Editor, Sharyn Rogowski. Publish Publishing the monthly FELINE is the Junior Class. Serving on this year’s staff, shown at right, front row, left to right, are Greg Rosenberger, Editor-in-Chief; Bonnie Gowin, Assistant Editor; Donna Fickel, Business Manager; and Barbara Roes, Activities Editor. In the back row, left to right, are Arlin Sample, Sports Ed- itor; John Laursen, Ad Layout; Kathy Golka, Class Editor; Susan Hennings, and Diane Yardley. Subscription Editors. The FELINE is mimeographed usually and sometimes printed at the Ledger. One change that has been introduced for next year is that the staff will not be all jun- iors, nor will it be a Junior publication but a Journalism publication. The staff not only carried the news efficiently but provided several novel and interesting articles in their paper. Many times this staff has spent late hours work- ing on the paper and their work has paid off in a very good production. Feline Staff Shown below in a very relaxed moment are several staffers at one of their dusk work sessions. Pincurlers. laughter and insomnia often greeted those who caught them by surprise. Below is Greg Rosenberger as he diligently works on Fekitty Prowles and his editorial. F.H.A. Offers Light to Homemaking FRONT ROW, From Left—Shirley Pro- chszka.

In F.H.A. the girls are taught many things dealing with many aspects of life. The girls sponsor several social events such as, Bobcat Den, different dances, and parties for the girls themselves. This year they also prepared two banquets for the members of the Pine Ridge Teachers Association. Each April two lucky girls are chosen to attend the State Convention. This year they were Carol Zeller and Barbara Roes. Barbara was also chosen as a candidate for State Recreation Chairman. If she is chosen, she will attend the National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Awards are earned for superior work in the field of home- making.

Blue Hawaii Blue Hawaii was the theme of the 1965 Junior Senior Banquet and Prom. Dining in the auditorium un- der contrasting blue ceiling and amidst a native island atmosphere, the Juniors and Seniors enjoyed a traditionally Hawaiian meal pre- pared by the Junior mothers. The stage was adorned with a massive green mountain topped with beau- tiful tropical flowers. Flowing from this mountain was a cool and re- freshing spring. Against one wall was a mural depicting the formal attire of a man with the native and enticing lure of a Hawaiian maiden. The Hi-Tones from Scottsbluff furnished the students with music for the Prom which followed the banquet at 9:30 p.m. Those students who have traveled twelve years together, are pic- tured at left with their first grade teacher.

King Ken and Queen Shirley Reign The banquet tables were decorated with Hawaiian boats and candles. Each per- son was given a lei. The Master of Ceremonies was Junior Don Lawson. President Ken Messersmith of the Junior Class gave the welcome to the Seniors and his sister, Sondra Messersmith, President of the Senior Class gave the response. Others participating in the Program were Bonnie Gowin, Lelo Olson, Linda Wanamaker, Lyn Laursen, and Mr. Fodnes. After the banquet the Prom began, with a break for the coronation of the Royalty. The dance, with music by the Hi-Tones, lasted until 12:30 a.m. Following the Prom, many of the students went to the theater where the movie Blue Hawaii was shown. The students were also entertained by a second feature and dispersed into individual breakfasts. 1965 Prom Royalty is shown in the Hawaiian garden beneath the mountain on the stage.

Baccalaureate Sunday was May 23 at 8:00 p.m. The Processional and Recessional were played by the High School Band. The Rev. A. D. Lewis gave the Invocation and Elder Norman Sharp gave the Benediction. Senior Sherry Wacker sang How Lovely are Thy Dwellings and Diane Gordon sang The Lord's Prayer”; a scripture reading was given by the Rev. Willard J. Emerson. The main address, It is your life was delivered by the Rev. David Harris. The Senior Class of 1965 was rapidly becoming history and the Baccalaureate service meant a great deal as they departed from their care free days at HHS. It is most appropriate that such a service be held in their honor because, when in life's trials and tribulations, all else fails we have our God to turn to. It was fitting that his ministers conduct this service so that we might have the courage to face up to life's hardships. With the Ropes of the Past, For Baccalaureate the seniors march through an arch formed by members of the Junior class. Here Sandy Grabher and Earl Hinchley file through to take their place in the Class of '65.

Carey Davies and Pat Overstreet look like two wide-eyed travelers even though it is 4:00 in the morning. At 4:00 a.m. on Saturday May I, the seniors boarded the school bus and took out for Denver. As soon as we arrived we invaded the Heart O Denver hotel where we were to stay for the next three days. After getting settled we again boarded the bus and took out for Golden, Colorado and the Coors Company. That evening we ate supper together at the Drumstick and then had the rest of the evening to ourselves. Sunday afternoon was spent at Celebrity Lanes and that evening we went to Cinerama and saw It s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World. Monday morning most of us froze while waiting to get into the U.S. Mint. After seeing how Uncle Sam makes all his money, the group split up to go shopping. At 1:30 p.m. our wonderful stay in Denver was over and the tired seniors began the long journey home. Athletic competition—the thrills, the tears, the victories and the defeats—are the lifestream of extra-curricular acitivity. Perhaps more anxiety, fear, and joy are created by this single phase of school life than all the others together. IWs I ie out- let to emotion and a storehouse fo pride. As shown, physical exertion is of en the price one pays for the spoil of ictory. Athletics at Hemingford High has t een re- warding for those who participaj; id and for its enthusiasts. Athletics and aNfeep imprint of sportsmanship is indeed funda- mental of a utopian education. Bobcats Make Good Showing FRONT ROW. from left: Greg Rosenberger. Ken Fickel. Carey Davies.

RUSHVILLE The Bobcats first game ended in heartbreak for the Bobcats'. The far outweighed Bobcats ended up far be- hind on the scoreboards but on the statistics they ran a close race with 6 first downs to 7 for the Longhorns. Yards rushing was 100 for the Bobcats and 130 for the Longhorns. The Longhorns scored on breaks in the first half gaining 18 pts. but being held to only 6 the second half. The final score was 24-0. HAY SPRINGS What began as a 9-0 lead ended with a 13-9 loss for the Bobcats. The extra three pts. came on a Rosenberger field goal from the 26 yd. line. The only touchdown for the Bobcats was an end sweep by Hucke from the 9 yd. line. The game was a long 2 hours and 20 minutes, in this time Hay Springs ran 60 plays to only 43 for the Bobcats. in Rugged Conference! Alva Roberts, Ed Planansky. John Kampbell.

The Hemingford volleyball team, being the first inter- school team at Hemingford, failed to win a game through- out the season. The team, composed entirely of under- classmen, had a 0-10 season. Leading scorers were Di- ane Gordon with 9 points, and Janet Prochazka, Doris Wood, and Linda Becker all with 7 points each. Being the first year for vol- leyball at Hemingford and the fact that almost all of the team were Freshmen and Sophomores, makes the fu- ture for volleyball at Hem- ingford look better.

Pausing for a picture before they leave for the NWC Golf Tournament are team members, from left, Roger Price. Dick Zeller. Arden Wohlers. Phil Gassel- ing. Bob Planansky and Coach Merle Beck. Two of the top consistent golfers of the team were Bob Planansky and Phil Gasseling. Golf Team Fights for Strokes The HHS Golf Team competed in the North West Conference Tournament at Rushville, the Panhandle C Tournament at Alliance, and had dual meets with Hay Springs and St. Agnes. Tournament members were chosen by their weekly rounds here at their home course. They placed fifth at the PC Tournament and fifth at the NWC Tournament. The team practiced during the sixth period and after school. The team, although just starting their second year, did very well and progressed amazingly during the season. Even though they did not win a meet, the fun and sportsman-like competition they gained was a far greater asset. Junior High Athletes Are Trained for High School Junior High Athletics showed promise in some areas. Their football record was 0-3 and their basketball rec- ord was 3-6. In track the Bobkits set new Junior High school records in the 50 yd. dash, the 100 yd. dash, the 440 relay, and the low hurdles. Those participat- ing were: FRONT ROW. from left: Jerry Kiester, Bruce Engel. Robert Huss. Bob Smith. Mike Hudson Bob Yellow Hair, and Terry Ramsey: SECOND ROW: Rick Benda. Tom Nelson.

Physical Education Keeps Our Students Fit and Healthy Physical Education was held during the late afternoon for both boys and girls. Mr. Belina and Mr. Kuhn han- dled the instructions while students worked to keep healthy. Playing volleyball, basketball, soccer, softball, football, and kickball, intramural sports gave competitive oppor- tunities to those not out for athletics. Physical Educa- tion is a requirement for all Sophomores and Freshmen. Ed Davies puts the bail over the volleyball net during a boys' physical education class. Nancy White takes her eye off the ball long enough to have the annual pho- tographer snap her picture. Whatever else the High School may be, it is first and foremost the student. The buildings, the instructors, the books are without meaning without the student. They are, in fact, the center of meaning and pur- pose for which the school exists. Classes and time pass, but one thing that is constant and unaffected by the passing of time is the ever present atmosphere left even during the vacant summer months by the presence of students. At the close of the day he is found gath- ering books for an evening's study while the setting sun falls on another day at Hemingford High. Seniors Reach Another Milestone BELOW: Just a little more,” says Sandy Grabber to Donna Lucke as they help decorate the rooms for Basketball Homecoming. JAMES BURNEY The last year of high school for the ranking upperclassmen started with only anticipation of that eventful week in May. Successfully finishing three years of secondary education, the Seniors prepared to spend their last months at Hemingford High School JOHN BUSSEN KENNETH FICKEL CAREY DAVIES ELOISE FORSSTROM in Hemingford High School BELOW: Mr. Johnston takes time out from mea suring Gary Medadith's mental height to measure his physical height, as Seniors are getting ther caps and gowns. During the routine registration they carefully chose their courses from a field of many electives. Among those offered were American Government, Bookkeeping, Physics, Advanced Algebra, Home Economics, English, Office Practice, Speech and Shop. PHILIP GASSELING EARL HINCHLEY SANDRA GRABHER RONALD HUCKE MARY ANN JANSA 59 Another one of the Seniors activities was the girls’ bowling team. Here Diane Rowley is in the process of throwing a near-perfect strike! The first week of school found many Seniors being elected to responsible positions in school organizations as well as their own class officers. Football dominated the scene as it had done for the last three years. In October and November Seniors were getting their pictures taken for graduation. For the second year they were taken in color and proved to be just as popular. Prepare to Assume Leadership Also ordered in lieu of graduation was the announcements and name cards. We were also measured for caps and gowns. In the fall the Seniors held a pancake feed to raise funds for the sneak day in the spring, and it proved to be very successful. Also during the fall several seniors took Regents examinations and in January it was announced that H.H.S. had seven winners. and More Responsibility In the late fall thirteen seniors took the Nebraska Regents examination. In January, it was announced that Hemingford had one winner and six alternates, which set some sort of a record. They are. from left to right: Sandra Grabher. Kaye Scott. Phil Gasseling.

Now that this school year is over the Juniors anxiously look forward to their big year as Seniors, but as they review their Junior year they recall many good times. One of the main events was a hard fought election for County Govern- ment Day which was held in Alliance. English and American History are required courses for Juniors. But they also have a wide variety of other sub- jects to choose from such as: Algebra II, Physics, Typing, Business Law which alternates the second semester with Gen. Business, Industrial Arts, and Journalism. 66 RIGHT—Kenny Kohrman exclaims, Have you gained weight. Carol? He got this exercise while the Juniors prepared for their Hayride . . . PROFIT—$5.00 LEFT—Among those who participated in County Gov- ernment Day were Bonnie Gowin and Linda Wanamak- er. They went as County Treasurer and County Judge respectively. Proud Class of '66 Peacorn, popnuts, chew cum gandy These are the words frequently heard around the Sugar Shack operated by the Junior class, as a means of raising money. But this was by no means their only enterprising venture because they also had a variety of other activities as their eventful hayride which ended in several sur- prised people getting an unexpected bath in the dam. Their combined Junior class play and cake walk was also a huge success. All these fund raising projects resulted in a beautiful prom which completed the year's activities and prepared them for their role as Seniors next year.

The Sophomore year is a particularly routine and uneventful year and these second-year students find themselves in a precarious position. Some of the fund-raising projects of the Sophomores who are looking toward their own prom of 1966, included a Halloween Dance which grossed a sizable profit. The Sophomores are looking toward their first year as upperclassmen in 1965. 70 ABOVE: Even Sophomores find that a little study can sometimes be helpful, as Carol Johnson and Diane Gordon will testify.

They had to become accus- tomed to a schedule and apportioning their time to work in their extra-curri- cular activities. They have become in- volved in a regular routine of sports, music, band, and art. Now they realize that studying ac- complishes something and that they will have to work to attain any degree of scholarship. And so they spend these two intermediate years prepar- ing themselves for the rigorous life of high school.

Hem- ingford is small but full of ambition. Per- haps the best asset of a community such as ours is its merchants. They untiringly offer help to fund raising projects and give tremendous support to community activi- ties. The production of the BOBCAT would not be possible without this support. This sign located at the edge of town is a prime example of the pride and enthu- siasm of Hemingford as a community and a pride in its school where Education is the Light of the World. 81 Full Auto Service—Groceries and Meats Hemingford Nebraska CHUCK'S SERVICE Complete Automotive Service _____________ Brake Machine Shop Speed Parts Sold and Installed Factory Trained Tune Up Personnel Phone 43 Hemingford Nebraska Congratulations, Seniors of '65 POLLARD FORDTOWN Complete Ford Family of Fine Cars Scottsbluff Nebraska Chad'-on Nebraska Chadron Nebraska Bruce Shaver begins the day by loading the truck at his dad's local bulk plant in Hemingford.

Much appreciation is due many people for the production of the 1965 BOBCAT. Without the devel- oper, the photographer, or the spon- sor, our annual would not be a reality. The school is an eternal function, serving its people. The yearly tears, laughter, joy, and remorse may die out as summer's bright light brings about the end of another school year, but every fall they return, with renewed fervor and enthusi- asm. This is what makes education great; a will to learn. The school year is over and its memories recorded in our book, but the clouds of storm and despair will never darken the spirit that exists within its halls. We value our education too much to let its light dim or flicker out. The staff of the 1965 BOBCAT bids farewell to its school and its friends. May the light of education keep burning for many generations to come. 104
