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.
