Hemingford High School - Bobcat Yearbook (Hemingford, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1967 volume:

Foreword In this day and age of rapid learning we must look not only at academics as our source of knowledge but also to the many happy, sad, anxious, and indescribable memories we have experienced in these last four years. We have made some of the greatest friends of our lives and now as we journey farther down the path of life, we may see some of these associations grow and some fade. Behind these fading friendships, however, will remain the memories we have lived here in the halls of HHS. We the staff of 67 hope we have retained some of the very close moments in the pages of this book.

The school year 66-67 is over now and high school students will no longer walk up those fa- miliar steps or through those doors to attend classes in this building as a new HHS will be ready to receive its first class by fall. Just as the centennial year marks 100 years of progress for the state of Nebraska, this year marks a move from an over-crowded and inadequate building into a new classroom facility. The present facility was constructed in 1926 and has met the needs of the students for 41 years. Now this building will be used for elementary classrooms, retiring the old north ward building. Of necessity, high school students will still have to use the old gymnasium for physical education classes, athletics, and convocations. The doors of the old HHS are slowly closing, but the memories of the last 41 years will linger on through the ages. Recollections of friendships and good times will bring a smile while thoughts of games that were lost or friendships that went amiss, or grades that didn't materialize will bring a frown or perhaps even a tear. HHS isn't merely the name of a building. It represents four years of hard work — happiness and sadness, triumphs and failures. It represents all of the formal edu- cation that some of its graduates will ever receive; it is only the simplest beginning for a few of its graduates who will go on to become doctors or engineers or profes- sionals in many of the complex vocations. One can literally relive the past by a casual stroll down the hall of the old high school building observ- ing the pictures of the graduating classes, or by re- examining those tattered old newspapers — The Feline or the Bobcat Tales —or by browsing through that treasured copy of a Spudpicker or a Bobcat, depicting the years' highlights. For the student that will take the time, he can learn to know and understand him- self. This is probably the most important aspect of growing up. This annual presents the school year 1966-67. It shows much of the good done by the student body; these can be guiding principles in making a life for your life; it need not limit your imagination in years to come. It marks your progress, just as the centennial marks Nebraska's progress. 5 Mr. John Wiltsey, left, Mr. Garland Fisher and Mr. Hugh McAuthur realize all of the many requirements a school building must meet. This past year the members of the school board not only were busy hiring teachers, deciding school policies, but also involved with the extra obligation of the new school. The school board played a vital role in community development. Mr. Vince Rosenberger, president of the school board, is the owner and operator of Rosenberger's Sundries. Mr. Rosenberger also serves as president of the Fair Board and the Chamber of Commerce. He is the Master of the Masonic Lodge and a member of the Lions Club. During his leisure time he enjoys golfing. Mr. Bob Kiester, vice-president, owns a farm north of town, and works for the Farmers Union Co-op As- sociation. Boating and golfing are his favorite pastimes. He is a member of the County Reorganization Committee and president of the Hemingford Rural Fire Department. Mr. Garland Fisher, a farmer-rancher, operates several farms west of town. He raises beets, potatoes, and cattle. Mr. Fisher is a member of the Rural Fire Board, and Board of Directors for the telephone. While not working he enjoys camping. Board Marks Nebraska Mr. Vince Rosenberger, president ond Mr. Bob Kiester, 6 Centennial with Construction of New School vice-president look over the plans of the new school. Mr. Lyle Speer operates the Jack and Jill Store and is the Retail Chairman of the C and C. Golfing and bowling are enjoyed during his leisure time. He belongs to the Lions Club and Legion Club. Mr. Wayne Shaver is the distributor of Conoco bulk and is a partner in the S S LP gas. The Lions Club and Five County Board of Economical Opportunity keeps him busy. When he's not busy he enjoys golfing and bowling. Mr. Hugh McAuthur is the owner of the local Gambles store. He belongs to the Lions Club, American Legion and the Masons, all branches. Like the others he enjoys golfing and bowling. Mr. John Wiltsey farms south of town. He has been the secretary of the school board for 29 years. He also serves as secretary for the Spud Center Local of the Farmers Union and secretary-treasurer of the Rural Fire Department. Mr. Wayne Shover, left, and Mr. Lyle Speer imagine how students will look coming to the new school. It was scheduled to be finished in July of 1967. ■ We as seniors will never forget the happy face of Mr. Harold Johnston. Mr. Johnston finished his first year as Superintendent here at Hemingford High. Through the years we have acquired an association with him as not only a teacher and policy leader, but as a friend. He had a way of keeping the enthusiasm high when the days seemed to get readily longer. His versatile sense of humor always brightened the daily classroom. He never was in too much of a hurry to give you advice or to do you a special little favor. Mr. Johnston helped all of us to decide our futures by offering his advice about scholar- ships, colleges, and jobs that would be right for each of us. Since this is a time of our life when we are often confused, we will never forget the help and advice given to us by Mr. Johnston. Mr. Johnston just didn't stop at the education, he was constantly giving his aid to the com- munity wherever he could. f?1 V? Pw ffir- • 4r frVjf r ' 1 Two Men Set Stage for Education A man never to fade from the memories of our Senior Class is our Principal, Mr. Lyle Fodnes. He has now finished his ninth straight year of dedicated service to Hemingford High. He continually worked to advance the tech- niques of education in our school. He provided for us the heartbeat keeping the understanding between the faculty and the students. Somehow he was always there to help when everyone else didn't know what to do next. Although we will never forget him as our classroom teacher, our real memories will stem from his leadership of us in Dramatics, Speech, The Annual, The Feline, Student Council, and various other spur of the minute groups. Mr. Fodnes' never failing and witty sense of humor along with his understanding combined natural forces and won the respect of all the students. 1967 Marks Centennial f Of Our Nebraskaland. High above the Nebraska plains they rise; four towering structures signifying the historical past, the present and the future of Nebraskaland. Southwest of Bayard stands centuries-old Chimney Rock, a sentinel and guidepost for the weary pioneer pressing westward to the Northwest, the Pacific Slope and the Southwest as America expanded and grew in greatness. To the east of Chimney Rock, 400 miles across Ne- braska flatland, rises the State Capitol Building, stand- ing today as it did the year it was finished as one of the great architectural wonders of the world. Even the man- ner in which the Capitol was built signifies the rugged de- termination which is the heritage of Nebraska, for the building was erected on a pay-as-you-go basis covering a ten year period of construction. East of Beaver Crossing stands the tallest commer- cial television tower in Nebraskaland, symbolizing the growth of industry in our state in this 20th century. And 400 miles to the west, high on Angora Hill in the Pan- handle, stands Nebraska's tallest educational television tower, symbol of the confidence of the citizens of our state in the worth and purpose of educating Nebraska's youth. Both are but single visible evidences of the pro- gress of the Cornhusker State. Northwest of Ogollolo lies Ash Hollow, the scene of the Battle of Blue Water which took place in 1855. A dispute arising over a Mormon cow resulted in the deaths of 30 cavalry men under the command of Grattan, a West Point lieutenant; Chief Conquering Bear; and the almost total annihiloton of the Brule Sioux under the command of General Harney. 10 Front Street in Ogallala has attracted many visitors to this unique old western town. It pos- sesses a charm that takes one back to true western era. Quest of West Brings Settlers to Nebraska. It was the Indian roving the plains of Nebraska who gave this state its name, The Land of Flat Water. That was the time when the Indian could move free, for he was free. Then came the white man, the passing voyager who only crossed this territory in his quest of the West. Nebraska was to the settler just what one such frontiers- man penned in his diary, A land of extremes, cold and hot, barren and infertile; a land to only pass through. But not all passed through. Some began to carve out farm and ranchland. The Indian was pushed back, treaties were signed and violated, again the Indian was pushed back and finally he struck out in the only way he knew how. While surveyors were laying out the Burlington Railroad along the old Mormon Trail they came upon Rebecca Winter's grave. This grave remains as a shrine to pioneer motherhood. Directly adjacent to the Bluff lies Dome Rock which was used as a lookout post by the Indians since it commands the view of both Roubidoux and Mitchell Passes. 11 One of the most famous homesteads served as a landmark to western settlers while in the Roubidoux Pass area. Homesteads Spring Up In Scotts Bluff Area. Scotts Bluff Monument has over-looked the North Platte Valley as homesteaders came to Western Ne- braska. Settlers would set up their homesteads on Squatter's rights. After living on the land for five years, the land automatically belonged to the squatter. Many of the towns were banded together. Scottsbluff itself wasn't established until around 1910 and is actually the newest town in this area. Mitchell was the first settle- ment in the valley. 1 Bull Canyon, west of the Scotts Bluff area houses this picturesque homestead which undoubtedly was one of the finer houses in the day and age. 12 As one can see, Mitchell Pass and the Bluff are included in a chain which extends over an east-west area south of Scottsbluff. The area within this chain is the Nile Valley. Fort Buffalo Bill is located on the main route east through North Platte. Buffalo Bill's home was here and the town honored him by erecting the fort. NEBRASKA CENTENNIAL COMMISSION ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF PROGRESS February 28, 1967 TO THE STUDENTS OF SCOTTSBLUFF AND HEMINGFORD HIGH SCHOOLS: I am pleased and honored to have this opportunity to participate in the Centennial edition of your yearbook. It is particularly significant to me that the youth of Nebraska are displaying outstanding leadership and enthusiasm at the time of Nebraska's Centennial. It is important to the State of Nebraska that you continue with this leadership and enthusiasm after the Centennial year, and, for years to come. The opportunities are here in Nebraska for you - in Education - in any field of endeavor. We need you here if Nebraska is to realize its full potential in the second 100 years. My best wishes to all of you. NTTrdks Hotel Lincoln MEMBERS OF THE NEBRASKA STATE CENTENNIAL COMMISSION Lincoln, Nebraska Telephone 477-6977 Don H. Shnner. Director William Galbraith, Beemer.

Members of the Student Council show their ability to listen as their president conducts a business meeting. President Steve Golka is seen os he opens a Student Council business meeting. The Student Council is the voice of the Student body. If any problems arise between the faculty and students it is the Student Council's job to smooth out the dif- ferences. In the Spring the entire school elects a president and vice president from the Senior class. Then each class elects a boy and girl representative whom they think will serve their class best. Another member of the governing body is the president of the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. The Student Council works in conjunction with the American Legion Auxiliary in sponsoring the Bobcat Den. One of the busier committees in the council is the courtesy committee. Their chief responsibility is to keep in contact with students who become confined at home or at the hospital for a period of time. Student Council representatives were: President— Steve Golka, Vice President-Tom Messersmith, Secretary —Cheryl Benda, Kelly Wood, Bill Walker, Joyce Kiester, Larry Zajic, Robert Turek, Lynette Haas, Bob Olson, Bar- bara Becker, Janice Schledewitz, Mike Walker, and Mike Hudson. 18 the Way; NHS Promotes Scholarship In the induction ceremonies of NHS the new members ore seen as they take an oath given by the president. Honor Society is a national organization recognizing students who display traits of character, scholarship, leadership, service, and who maintain a grade average of 90 or above. There were six senior members in Honor Society. They were: Cheryl Benda, Steve Golka, President-Diane Gordon, Secretary-Treasurer-Carol Johnson, Tom Mes- sersmith, and Vice President-Janet Prochazka. The main function of the Honor Society is to induct new members into the chapter in the fall and initiate probationary members in the spring. Members also serve as guides to parents during parent-teacher conferences. Mr. Johnston, Superintendent of HHS, and Mr. Chismar, an English instructor, are co-sponsors of the Hemingford Chapter. The Junior class boasted eleven members. They are: Linda Becker, Dixie Frost, Joyce Harden, Linda Herbaugh, Gail Hudson, Joyce Kiester, Roger Nagelschneider, Roger Price, Brad Rosenberger, Robert Turek, and Doris Wood. Each year at graduation, senior Honor Society stu- dents are designated with gold cords. This recognition is given to the members by the Student Council. I wouldn't drink that if I were you! teases Mr. Johnston as Diane Gordon, presi- dent of the NHS endeovors to serve Mr. Chismar, sponsor of NHS, some punch. 19 Hemingford's chapter of the Future Farmers of America was organized in 1966 when Mr. Jess Vetter came to Hemingford as a Vocational Agri- culture instructor. The purpose of FFA is to prepare young men in the field of agriculture so that they will be better prepared for a farming occupation. To become a member the boys must be currently enrolled in an agriculture class and he must carry a supervised farming project. This year the FFA helped with the construction of the Christmas Diorama. They also sponsored a booth at the Junior's Penny Carnival and they were co-sponsors with the FHA in a Pheasant Fry and the annual Sweetheart Dance. Officers of FFA were: Sentinel- Tom Gasseling, Secretary-Dick Zeller, President- George Bremer, Sponsor-Mr. Vetter, Vice President-Bob Dufek, Treasurer-Ron Solomon, and Reporter-Steve Hennings. FFA Prepares Boys For Farming Career Gory Riggs points out to Bill Walker how to put the leg braces on the feed bunks that were built by the FFA. At the FFA sponsored Donkey Basketball Game Gary Riggs discovered that staying on a donkey wasn't so easy after all. 20 President-Corol Dyer explains the work involved in the FHA degrees to freshman Linda Campbell. FHA Turns 21; Becomes of Age Serving as officers for FHA were: Treasurer--Linda Campbell, President-Carol Dyer, Sponsor-Miss Ambrosek, Vice President-Barbara Becker, and Sec- retary-Sylvia Klemke. The Future Homemakers of America is a girls' organization which teaches the importance of home membership, encourages democracy in home and com- munity life, promotes international good-will, provides wholesome individual and group recreation and furthers interest in home economics. The only requirement to be an FHA member is to have successfully completed one semester of homemaking. To show progress as an individual, the girls can work for their Junior, Chapter, and State degrees. Recognized this year were Linda Rose, who received both Junior and Chapter degrees, and Linda Becker, who received her Junior degree. FHA Week, April 2-8, was highlighted with the girls dressing in honor of the 100th anniversary of the state; the week also marked the 21st birthday of FHA. Inter- national Day and a high school assembly were also part of the celebrations. FHA also helped sponsor the FFA- FHA Sweetheart Dance, the Pine Ridge Teachers' Asso- ciation dinners, and the FFA-FHA Pheasant Feed. In April Dixie Frost and Sylvia Klemke attended the State Convention in Lincoln. In May the top five newly- elected officers attended the district workshop in Kearney. The girls elected Mrs. Pat Thomas as Honorary Chapter Mother to assist Miss Janet Ambrosek, spon- sor of FHA for the past two years.

Pep Club and H Club At all the Bobcat sports the Pep Club is there to help promote school spirit. Through the Pep Club the participants in sports receive a higher incentive to do their best in a certain sport. For all the games and tournaments the Pep Girls decorated the blackboards and halls to increase school spirit and attendance at games. The main fund raising activity was the all-school play sponsored by the Pep Club. The money obtained from this project was used to finance the Pep Club ban- quet held in the spring and to help send the cheer- leaders to a summer workshop. The new varsity cheer- leaders and officers are revealed at the banquet. New Freshmen who wished to become members of the Pep Club were initiated in the fall. School spirit and yelling at games and pep rallies are not limited to just the Pep Club. H-Club members show their enthusiasm and school Janice Schledewitz is shown as she lights her candle at the Pep Club initiation ceremonies as other members wait their turn.

H-Club is an honorary organization for young men who have earned a varsity letter in one of the major sports-football, basketball, track or golf. This year the H-Club had 26 members. The major activities of H-Club were sponsoring the football homecoming dance and crowning the queen. At the homecoming ceremonies the queen and her attendants received corsages and football necklaces. A special gift to the queen was a bouquet of roses. That evening the Coachmen provided music for the dance. H-Club was also co-sponsor with the Senior class for basketball homecoming. This fall H-Club members cleared the lot ad- jacent to the school, which is being used for a much needed parking lot. Another important activity of the club is pro- moting school spirit at pep rallies by cheering along with the Pep Club. The sponsor of H-Club, Mr. Snyder, talks over a problem with the officers, from left-President--Tom Messersmith, Secretory-Treasurer-Rod Christensen, and Vice President-Gory Riggs. Rod Christensen and Brad Rosenberger were two of the H-Club members who helped clear the lot adjacent to the school. 23 HHS Band Struts Proudly In New Uniforms Band officers, Bond Captain-Diane Gordon, Secretary-Nancy White, and Assistant Band Captain-David Minich, discuss some business with director Mr. Quinonez. Band plays a vital part in the academic part of school. It not only boosts its teams at football and basket- ball games, but it also boosts the town. Members, including seventh to twelfth grade stu- dents, made the 66-67 band complete in its sound. Most of the sections produced a good balance. Every year the band presents a spring and winter concert and participated in the District Music Contest. The band worked very hard and received an excellent rating. The band also performed at Chadron Band Day. This year the band was able to purchase new uni- forms. The uniforms had been needed for several years and marked the Centennial Year very well. In addition to the uniforms, new drums, a french horn, and a bass horn were also purchased. At the end of each year, the band parents hold a banquet to close band activities for the year. At the ban- quet, awards are given to outstanding members who have shown leadership and a will to work. Band, like other organizations, can be fulfilling to the members who participate in the activities. During a marching practice, Mr. Q. tells some of the band members to straighten their line. Leading the Bobcat Marching Band were Majorette-Linda Tschacher and Twirlers- Laura Yardley, Carol Johnson, and Peggy Campbell. 24 HEMINGFORD Bob Cat band “ •nn.KWAsr Director-Mr. Q.

Nancy White was the very capable accompanist for all the choral groups. Mixed Chorus and Girls7 All faces of the chorus were serious as they Included in the HHS vocal music department were Mixed Chorus, Girls' Glee, and various small group ensembles. Mixed Chorus, consisting of seventy-two mem- bers, and Girls' Glee which had forty-two members, presented the first musical production, a Winter Con- cert, December 5. Both choral groups performed again at the Spring Concert and the District Music Contest at Scottsbluff held in April. A selected group of singers were chosen to at- tend a music clihic at Crawford February 16. A guest 26 Glee Develop Music Appreciation were about to perform at the Winter Concert. clinician worked with students from the surrounding area. The students then gave a concert in the evening. Although entertainment is not the intended goal of Girls' Glee and Mixed Chorus, they meet this purpose effectively. Primarily they are a method of expression in the area of fine arts. The students learn the elements of harmony, balance, cooperation, and, after working together to achieve these correctly they are able to produce the pleasant sounds of music. Before concerts and contests members of the Girls' Glee practiced diligently in order to put on a fine performance. The Girls' Glee show concentration and determination as they blend their voices at the Winter Concert. 27 Journalism Class Edits While Steve Hennings and George Bremer are busy working to meet an annual deadline, Ed Davies explains, Oh no, I did it wrong! The clatter of typewriters, the tapping of pencils, and the rustle of paper were just a few of the sounds of yearbook production. Annual advisor, Mr. Fodnes, with the help of the administration, selected the staff in May. Actual production began in September. With rushing and help from other journalism students the staff met deadlines, took pictures, and re- searched, wrote, and edited copy. Another sound of yearbook production, the click of camera shutters, and the clatter of type- writers were also sounds heard when the Feline went to press. The school paper was published once a month by journalism students. Edd Davies served as editor the first semester and Doris Wood served as editor the second semester. Other journalisrh students alternated as page editors. Members of the yearbook staff were: Seated-Edd Davies, Diane Gordon, assistant editor, Steve Golko, editor, ond Carol Dyer. Standing-laura Yardley, Bruce Sample, George Bremer, Steve Hennings, and Carol Johnson.

Janet Prochozka ond Carol Dyer found that writing copy for the annual wasn't too easy after all. Science Club Promotes Innovation The science department of HHS founded a science club this year. Mr. Ed Thomas, sponsor of the group, organized the club in October. The 21 charter members elected Linda Becker president, Rick Benda vice-president, and Carol Johnson secretary-treasurer. To be a member a person must currently be enrolled in a science course and maintaining at least an average of 85% in all classes. There are no dues. The Science Club took part in the junior class' Penny Carnival and sponsored two guest scien- tists with the cooperation of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences: Mr. Lloyd Tanner of the Department of Vertebrate Pathology at the Uni- versity of Nebraska museum and Mr. Boosalis of the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of Nebraska. The annual camera catches the Science Club officers and their sponsor grinning widely. Officers are: Linda Becker-president, Rick Benda-vice president, and Carol Johnson-secretary-treasurer. Sponsor for the Science Club is Mr. Ed Thomas. Brad Rosenberger does his part in the club's project by washing a part of the dis sected calf. Physiology class members watch as Mr. Vetter, Ag. Instructor, dissects a calf for the Science Club. Invisible Rabbit Comes to HHS Stage Harvey ' the well-known play by Mary Chase, was presented by the Pep Club as the first all- school play of the year. Harvey, the invisible rab- bit, attended the many practices that took place before the final production November 29. Any students who were members of a cast, helped on stage, or helped in any way with the production of a play belonged to dramatics club. These students were a tremendous help in changing the sets in Harvey. They also helped with all the other plays. Winners of the Elmer Night awards for Har- vey were: Carol Ramsey--Best Actress, Ken Hohrman-Best Actor, Mary Bruns-Best Sup- porting Actress, and Brent Kuhn-Best Supporting Actor.

HEMINGFORD VS LINGLE An inexperienced line led heavily to the Cats 31-12 defeat at the hands of the Bulldoggers. Even though the Bobcats scored twice on two brilliant pass receptions by Brad Rosenberger, the Bulldoggers moved at will through the Cats line. HEMINGFORD VS HAY SPRINGS Even though the Bobcats were out-weighed, they did an exceptional job of blocking. The Cats led at half and only needed a PAT kick to tie the 12-13 game. Bob Minich and Gary Riggs gained much yardage, with the latter making both TDs. New Varsity Football Coach Stresses Fundamental Skills Steve Golka on o quarterback option gains some yards against Minatare. Student Managers, from left—Tom Prochazka, Tom Nelson, Mike Walker and Ralph Price, are always ready to aid the coaching staff and players during the football season. HEMINGFORD VS RUSHVILLE Dwarfed in both height and talent, Hemingford gridmen were completely bottled on the ground by the best de- fensive team in the Panhandle. This game was a disappointing aerial game and the Bobcats were downed 52-0. HEMINGFORD VS MINATARE Injuries and mistakes contributed to the Cats 6-0 loss to the Indians. Two fumbles and three pass interceptions halted the Cats most promising drives. The most decisive moments came in the 1st quarter when long runs into Minatare territory were called back twice for 5 yard penalties. Bob Minich attempts to gain yardage through Hay Springs line. Team Ability Improves Throughout Grid Season Gary Riggs drives toward the goal with Quarterback Steve Golka's aid against Lingle, the Cats first game of the season. Bobcat Gridsters Demonstrate Spirit And Team Efforts Gary Riggs attempts to complete a pass thrown by Steve Golko against Rushville but the ball fell short of its target.

Chodron State College. Champion Trophy Promotes Determination To Win At the Chadron C Club Invitational the Cats proved to be on their way to the top when they defeated Rushville, 59-41. This was one of the more outstanding games of the year, as the Cats held Rushville defensively keeping them from making a field goal in the first 10 minutes of the game. The half-time score, 26-21, showed the Bobcats slowing down, but they picked up again and by the end of the third quarter showed a wide margin, 44-28. The Bobcats journeyed back to Chadron the next night to challenge Bayard. The Cats fell behind at the end of the first quarter, 17-6, and still trailed 27-18 at half time.

In the fourth quarter, Gary Riggs' scoring quickly carried the Bobcats into the lead which was held until the end, 50-43. The deciding game for championship found the Bobcats determined to beat St. Agnes. A great defensive effort carried the Bobcats through a cold offensive evening. The outstanding period was the third quarter, when the Bobcats limited the Crusaders to only three points, but made only six points themselves. The Cats maintained leads of 2 to 7 points throughout the fourth quarter to win 41-31. 44 Steve Golka attempts a shot from the outside against St. Agnes.

As graduating students from one class to another, we can look back over the many opportunities we have had to progress in our educational horizons; some we have reached out for, a few we have been able to take hold of and use; some we have let go knowingly; and some we never knew were there until they were already past. Most important, however, are those which we have been able to place in our book of wisdom for they will play a determining factor in our future decisions in life. As the final pieces of the puzzle are put into place, the Seniors look back to their high school days and remember their four-year experience. Some of them may breathe a sigh of relief, but many of them will feel an emptiness in their hearts. No more will they enter through those doors, pass from those classes, and meet those same friends and teachers. They are in a different world now, a world of responsibilities and difficult tasks. They have gone forever from their beloved high school and will now have to depend on more memo- ries to satisfy their sadness. They will miss their high school days, but will only realize this until they are gone and are never to return. They have Cheryl Jane Benda George W. Bremer Carol Johnson found that her last year in high school still required many hours of studying at night. Seniors Finish Final Another privilege of the Senior class is to order their caps and gowns for gradua- tion. Kelly Wood is being measured by a representative from the Ward Company. Mary Patricia Bruns Peggy Campbell experienced every feeling of happi- ness, sadness, failure, and success in these tiny halls, and only by the guid- ance of the members of this school, who have lent a helping hand, en- abled them to come back up on their throne. In these halls they have re- ceived an education that will never cease to shine in future years. If they have taken in knowledge the fullest capacity, then they may say that these years have been well spent. An edu- cation requires time, study, and full attention, but it is not easily forgotten. Just as every activity that has taken place in this school is not easily for- gotten. For memories like these should and shall be cherished forever. Year at HHS Senior members of H-Club Rod Christensen and Larry Nelson also contributed in helping clean up the parking lot. Burning the weeds, was one job Steve Golka did to help clean off the lot across the street in preparing it for a parking lot. Rodney Christensen Edd Davies Robert J. Dufek Harold Eugene Delsing Senior sponsor for this year was Superintendent, Mr. Harold Johnston. Mr. Johnston attended Kearney State Col- lege where he obtained both his Bochelor's and Master's degrees. He did his undergrad- uate work in four years and obtained his Master's in four summers. Mr. Johnston taught only one closs, American Gov- ernment. Fun and Frolic Accent Senior Activities The Seniors' only required subject was American Government. In this class the Seniors learned not only the principles of our government, but they learned to understand their rights as Americans. Seniors having an interest in science were able to take Physics, and those interested in math took Algebra 11. Those Seniors who wanted a possible business career were able to take Bookkeeping, Office Practice, General Business and Business Law. Many Seniors chose Speech and Journalism as an opportunity to express themselves and show their creativity as writers or speakers. Other subjects requiring a choice were Home Ec., Voc. Ag., and English 12. Senior Class Officers, from left-Treasurer Edd Davies, Secretary Mary Bruns, President Bill Walker, Vice-president Rod Christensen, give an example of their leadership to the drive-in. 55 Science plays an important role in our changing world today. The juniors and seniors interested in this area took Algebra II and Physics this year. Algebra II is an advanced study of the first year Algebra. It gives the students a more ad- vanced form of mathematics. Physics is the study of me- chanics, heat, sound, light, elec- tricity, and radiation. In this class students learn the fundamentals of physical science. Along with these are many other nature sciences. Earth Sci- ence is a one-semester class re- quired of all freshmen. This is the student's first introduction to high school science. Sophomores in Biology learn the process of life from simple algae to the complex primates. Algebra and General Math are offered to freshmen and they both lay a basis for mathe- matical computation. Geometry, offered to the soph- omores, deals with the proof of theorem and teaches the student that for every statement used there must be a proof. Vocational Agriculture students spent some time this year making feed bunks. Senior, Steve Hennings is sowing a board for the end of a feed bunk while Bill Walker looks on. and Hard Work Were Helpful Stephen James Golka Diane Lynn Gordon 57 Seniors find they have a hard decision choosing the announcements just right for them. Mr. Johnston discusses the problem with a representative from Balfour Company, while class members compare the company's products. Miss Janet Ambrosek received her major in Home Economics and minor in Social Science from the University of Nebraska. Dur- ing her four Home Ec. classes and sixth grade Social Studies class she still takes time out to just relax and smile. 58 Steven Hennings Carol Lynn Johnson Phyllis Jean Kiger Thomas Brent Kuhn Home Economics taught by Miss Janet Ambrosek is an interesting and valuable experience to all girls who took it. The course is taught to seventh and eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh and twelfth combined. During the year the classes took cooking, sewing, interior decorating, color combina- tions and family and child development. This year many of the girls also chose to learn how to knit. The knowledge gained from Home Ec. courses is always used throughout a girl's life. Girls of the Senior Home Economics closs found they could go to Miss Ambrosek with problems about future assignments and per- sonal problems. Commercial Courses Prepare for Jobs In a liberal education, a practical knowledge of business is favorable. For the student who is preparing a career in business, Hemingford offers an extensive course. General Business is a further study of math and is offered as a full year course. Students learn how to figure insurance rates and how to figure percentages. Office Practice is offered to the future secretary. The student is made secretary for a teacher and does much of his corres- pondence and typing. Typing is offered to Sophomores and Juniors. They gain a practical knowledge of letter forms, term papers and other material. Bookkeeping is taught to the seniors who wish to learn the art of keeping accurate records and financial statements. All these subjects were taught by Phil Snyder. Mr. Snyder received his Bachelor's Degree at Colorado State College in Greeley, Colorado. Besides being his first year of teaching, it was also his first year of coaching. Mr. Snyder kept very busy with all sports this year. He was not only the head coach for football but also for basketball and girl's track. Each kept Snyder's attention and he was always full of school spirit. The debit column must equal the credit column, explains Mr. Snyder to his Bookkeeping class. Preparing for a type of business career. Senior girls Peggy Campbell, Lynda Tschacher and JoAnn Reynolds took Office Practice. Typing for the teachers, running the duplicator, and working in the office were just o few of the many things they did throughout the year. Mr. Snyder taught Office Practice. Janice Kay AAazanec Thomas Lee Messersmith David Lyle AAinich Robert L. AAinich Larry D.

The first Semester En- glish Literature and Authors are studied and the second semester is a review of grammar that has been taught during the other three years of high school. While learning about English Lit- erature, the Seniors read Macbeth and Ivanhoe. During the review of grammar, the students found themselves doing research and writing essays. They composed two this year, “Ameri- canism-Born out of Faith and Lib- erty ' and “Alcohol and Personality Problems ' Mrs. Johnson supervises the English 12 class while Cheryl Benda gives o Christmas story. f Carol Ann Ramsey That Last Year Joyce Reynolds gets an early start on the activity of addressing announcements, to family and friends about six weeks before graduation.

Janet Prochazka gave the Valedicto- rian Address. Mr. Johnston made the presenta- tion of awards and scholarships and Mr. Fodnes presented the Class of 1967. Vincent Rosen- berger. President of the School Board, awarded the diplomas. As the graduating seniors looked out on that sea of faces at graduation, many thoughts ran through their minds .... many feelings through their hearts. As they walked down the aisle to the stirring strains of Pomp and Circumstance with the treasured diplomas in their hands, thoughts of the past four years and years to come were battling for a place in their minds. Then they realized that their hard work had paid off; that now they had to go out into this com- petitive world by themselves. 66 CLASS OF 1967.

They work together as a group to be the best junior class of HHS. Heading this year's Junior class are Doris Wood, Vice-President; Bob Turek, President; Brad Rosen- berger, Secretary; Gary Zajic, Treasurer. All the ac- tivities of the year were planned and carried out with the help of the officers and members of the junior class. Students in English 11 listen intently while High School Prin- cipal Lyle Fodnes reviews the fundamentals in modern and traditional grammar. During the first semester, Mr. Fodnes instructs the juniors in the study of American Literature. The second semester is spent in the development of skills in gram- mar. ward to Graduate from the New School Besides having many duties as principal Mr. Lyle Fodnes teaches English 11 and Speech- Journalism. He is also the instructor for all drama activities and he is the annual advisor. He also serves as Student Council sponsor. Mr. Fodnes received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Midland Lutheran and his Master of Science Degree from Chadron State College. He also received schooling from the Uni- versity of Denver, University of San Francisco, and Utah State University. 71 Something new was tried this year in the form of entertainment for the whole school. The freshmen, ju- niors, seniors, FFA, FHA, H-Club and Speech-Journalism each made their own booths and the profits from the carnival were given to the junior class for their much needed prom funds.

Gail Hudson Shirley Jordan John Kampbell Dave Pipitt Dennis Planansky Roger Price Joyce Kiester Jeany AAracek Roger Nagelschneider Behind Them and One Year to go Mr. Vetter has more than just paper work in his job of teaching Vocational Agriculture. He explains the proper procedure in using the level by actually working the mechanism and then every student is required to know how to run it. Mrs. Headden finds the chore of correcting students' papers to be a pleasant one. Amid Junior Class-Room Responsibilities Mrs. Headden had a busy teaching sched- ule for 66-67. She taught Algebra I to the Freshmen and Algebra II to Junior and Senior students. Another mathematics course, Ge- ometry, was taught by Mr. Headden to Fresh- man Students. Mrs. Headden received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Chadron State Teachers College. 74 During Basketball season the juniors used the Home Ec. room as the candy stand. Margie Wox and Dennis Planansky find time to have a laugh while working. The well known sugar shack was kept as busy as all other years during half time of football games. The money raised helped to pay for the prom for the school. Money-Making Becomes Chief Concern The main thought in the Junior minds was to put on a prom that they can be proud of and just a little bit better than the year before. These juniors, Gail Hudson, Joyce Harden, Pam Wood and Joyce Kiester are working on committees, thinking of a theme and won- dering about the money situation for this year's prom. 75 Quite o change took place in the HHS gym on the night of Decem- ber 13.

Nancy White Karen Winten Juniors Approach Final Year Doris Wood Pam Wood 78 Dick Zeller Gary Zajic Larry Zajic Sophomores7 First Dance Is Success The Sophomores of HHS found that this year, maneu- vering their way in the halls wasn't nearly as difficult as when they were Freshmen. This year they have begun to realize how important their high school years are going to be to them. We hope that this realization will become even more apparent next year, in the New HHS!! With only two years of school left, perhaps many of the Sophomores feel that they've already experienced a lot. Only until they walk through the doors of HHS, whether the new ones or the old, will they realize exactly how little they have actually experienced as Sophomores! Sophomores from left—Ron Solomon, Bruce Engel, and Barb Becker put up ghostly decorations for their com- bination Sadie Hawkins-Halloween Dance.

Mr. Andy Chismar spent his first year as a teacher at HHS. He taught Junior Class History and Tenth grade English. Mr. Chismar, a graduate from Colorado State University, quickly acquainted himself with the routine, students, and faculty of HHS, and soon he and his fantastic neckties became a familiar sight in the halls of HHS. Aside from his teaching jobs, Mr. Chismar also acted as assistant football and basketball coach and girl's volleyball coach. He also co-sponsored the Hemingford Chapter of the National Honor Society.

Electives are World History, Home- making 1 1, Vocational Agriculture, Drivers' Education, Band, Chorus and Girl's Glee Club. This year, for the first time, Typing was offered to Sopho- mores. Athletics, of course, compose most of the extracurricular activities. The Sophomores have sponsored sev- eral money-making projects this year. On October 29 a Sophomore-sponsored Sadie Hawkins Dance was held. A pop band. The Chessmen from Scottsbluff, furnished the music, and the Sopho- mores were able to make a $12.00 profit. This is the time of year when all the girls at HHS get a chance to tag their favorite guy!!

Mr. Ed Thomas, in his first full year at HHS was the Science teacher. Last year Mr. Thomas spent nine weeks here as a student teacher and then was hired to teach 4th, 5th, 6th, and grade Science classes. This year he taught Physics, two Biology classes, Earth Sci- ence and 7th grade Science. Mr. Thomas helped to organize a Science Club this year. He also kept himself busy as assistant girls' volleyball coach and Junior High Football Coach. Mr. Thomas received his schooling at Chadron State College, where he spent four years and thus received a Bachelor of Science Degree. A Girl's Basketball Game, with Sophomores vs. Ju- niors, was also sponsored by the Sophomores on De- cember 13. The profit was split between the two classes and each class took in about $47.00. After see- ing this game, many people began to wonder if the female sex is really the weaker sex!! 82 a typical Freshman-Sophomore boys' Physicol Education Class. Every year a new group of bewildered Freshmen enters the doors of Hemingford High School. Little do they know, that for them, these doors will open up a new phase of their life. This year the Freshman class entered the doors of HHS on August 29, 1966. Next year they can look forward to enjoying a new high school. Only they can decide what their first and last year in the old HHS will mean to them. Required subjects for Freshmen are English 9, Algebra I or General Math, Physical Education, and World Geog- raphy and Earth Science, for one semester. Freshmen have a choice of taking Shop I, Latin I, Homemaking I, Band, Chorus, and Athletics in addition to the required subjects. The Physical Education class is combined with the Sophomores' Physical Education class. They indulge in such activities as volleyball and basketball. The boys' Physical Education class also participate in a weight lifting program.

Those elected to Student Council were Janice Schledewitz and Mike Walker. Mr. Belina teaches Freshman and Sophomore PE classes and Driver's Ed. This is Mr. Belina's third year at HHS. Mr. Belina, is a graduate of Chadron State Col- lege where he spent his last two years of college. His first two years were spent at the Junior College at Nor- folk, Nebraska. He graduated from high school at O'Neil, Nebraska. Mr. Belina not only serves as a teacher at HHS, but also a coach. He coaches the Jr. High and Freshman football and basketball teams. Mr. Belina has become a well known figure at HHS in the past three years.

Douglas Zeller 85 Debra Lucas, Annabelle Rojas, Gorlea Fisher, Virginia lucke, and Volda Hunts Horse, are this year's cheer- leaders for the 66-67 Junior High sports year. Junior High Mount Charlotte Blindman Angela Bock -7 The Junior High years of school are the in- between years. The years when you're no longer in elementary classes, but not in high school either. The years when you're no longer a kid and you're not a full-fledged teenager. But even though these two years may be years of confu- sion they are also filled with fun and hard work. The students get a taste of what its like to be in high school. Junior High guide for many years now has been Mrs. Fentress. She served in this area again this year, up until the time of her illness. Substi- tuting for her was Mr. Ford, an elementary educa- tion major from Colorado. He received his school- ing in Greeley and Colorado Springs, Colorado. This was his first teaching job.

Mr. Ford was also active in music at HHS, sometimes playing in the pep band. Serving as leaders for the seventh grade were: Karan Danbom, President; Dennis Tuchek, Vice-President; Secretary-Treasurer Debby Lucas; and Librarian Ricky Sample. Those leading the eighth graders were: Bill Smith, President; Vice-President Tony Weare, and Sec- retary-Treasurer Chuck Messersmith. Each Junior High student finds himself with the in- dividual duty of growing up and learning how to accept responsibility, so that the four high school years ahead can be met more easily.
