Hemingford High School - Bobcat Yearbook (Hemingford, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1971 volume:

As life too quickly ebbs away, we look back at fragments that piece together our high school days. Each little particle, in its own perspective, betrays an event—a victory, a defeat; a suc- cess, a failure— that will long be remembered. Hl7 A year has passed and we must ready our- selves for an- other. In this world of ever- changing times, new events arise that we must be- come accustomed to, for we as the future gener- ation will be using these ideas to mold the frame- work for our very existence. 7 Along with people, ideas come and go. As some stand fast against newer ones, others will fragment with the test of time. Hence, we must conceive ideas which will endure the pressures of the world. HS and SC Stress Harmony and Character To encourage personal better- ment and promote cooperation within the student body, faculty, and community are the purposes of two HHS forums: Honor So- ciety and Student Council. The HHS National Honor So- ciety strives to develop leader- ship, service, and scholarship, for a well-balanced personality. Mem- bers are expected to set good examples of active individuals and prospective leaders of the future. Assisting the honorary organi- zation were Chuck Messersmith, president; Mike Brost, vice-presi- dent; Deborah Wyland, secretary; Gary Powell, treasurer; and Lyle Fodnes, sponsor. The main purposes of Student Council are to set goals and es- tablish unity within the school. Some of the group’s accomplish- ments consisted of cleaning up area farms to raise money for the memorial, seeking a location for a student center, and pre- senting a convocation in honor of four teachers. The student government cabi- net consisted of President Mike Brost; Vice-President Karen Pro- chazka; Secretary Vicki Hansen; and Treasurer Chuck Messer- smith. 10 Instructors and parents (far left) visit over a coffee break in the library during one of the Parent-Teacher Conferences.

Respectively, each offers a career in home economics and agriculture. These local chapters not only conducted individual ac- tivities but united to complete various projects. Twenty-sic girls served as FHA members under the supervision of Mrs. Volkmer. They learned the importance of home member- ship, of encouraging democracy in home and community life, of promoting international good- will, of providing wholesome in- dividual and group recreation through their future homemakers’ activities. Leaders—President, Vicki Han- sen; Vice-President, Barb Gaus- man; Secretary, Cheri Hansen; and Treasurer, Karan Danbom— conducted their respective posi- tions. The elected officers at- tended the State Convention in the early spring; the entire chap- ter went to the annual District meeting held in September. Promoting interest in vocational agriculture is the purpose of FFA. Seventeen boys composed this organization under the guidance of Mr. Messersmith. Assisting the chapter with their activities were Kent Frost, president; Tony Gonzales, vice-president; Bruce Jensen, secretary; and Dann Reynolds, treasurer. The officers went to a leadership camp in June and a number of individuals par- ticipated in various judging con- tests held throughout the school year. The purpose of the contests is to improve the farming abilities of the members. 13 Musical Beats Echo Throughout the Halls To ease the strain of academic study the students of Hemingford High School sought pleasure in various types of musical entertainment. Band, chorus, and individual entertainment groups brought forth self-expression and emotional involvement. Mr. Arnold Quinonez directed the music department in both elementary and high school functions. The chorus groups participated in two public concerts, one clinic, and Panhandle “C contest. The band not only performed in these activities but also played in several local parades during marching season. The highlight of the year for the elementary students came when they presented their annual Christmas program. As well as being stimulating, music also helps the student in developing his cultural characteristics. The students learn the elements of harmony, balance, and cooperation, which lead to many new rewarding experiences. 14 I he Hemingford Bobcat Band (far left) prepares to play a number during the Homecoming Parade.

It introduced the students to television equipment and the fundamentals used in operating it. These classes practiced by taping instructors during lec- tures, discussions, demonstrations, and most school activities involving student performances. View- ing these allowed the leaders and participants to evaluate themselves. On air every Tuesday at 4:30 p.m., the HHS radio program briefed the public of the current school events through KCOW, Alliance. Senior speech class held the responsibility of seeking and taping the news. Through this class the students gained the knowledge of collecting facts, writing them into informative stories, and presenting the program to the people. Speech 11 students published THE FELINE. Giving the students the basis for their HHS news- paper, Speech 11 members learned the fundamen- tals of practical journalism. The students reported on organizational activities, social events, academ- ics, sports, achievements of individual students, and both personal and school-involved editorials. The staff circulated this publication bi-monthly to the subscribing members of the community. 17 J Students Gather ‘Fragments’ for Yearbook Much piecing and puzzling went into the formation of FRAGMENTS '71. Laying out pages, writing cap- tions, composing copy, cropping pictures, and completing mats consumed the many hours spent by the Speech 12 students. Al- though the problem of pressing deadlines faced this group, they strove to meet the situation head- on. Keeping the night oil burning became a common practice be- fore the final deadline could be met. To help unify the production of the yearbook the class, under the direction of Advisor Lyle Fod- nes, chose co-editors, Bob Cop- len and Kathy Prochazka and sev- en section editors, Bill Smith Sports; Vicki Hansen and Jann Moeller Activities; and Terry Du- fek, Kent Frost, Marcia Price, and Gary Powell Academics. The re- mainder of the class worked both individually and in groups to- ward the completion of the book. Annual sales reached a record breaking high this year. Business manager Karen Prochazka headed the financial campaign which took care of the annual subscriptions and fall distribution. Rodney Planansky held the re- sponsibility of student photograph- er. He also developed many of the pictures in his own dark room. Being on annual staff gave the students of Speech 12 an oppor- tunity to use their imagination, express their ideas, and to prac- tice the fundamentals of good journalism. 18 Mr. Lyle Fodnes (far left) explains headline techniques to Coplen and Kathy Prochazka.

Dramatics Displays a Trio of Performances Society demands much of an individual in this day and age. By requiring a person to live within the set rules of society, the opportunity for one to project his ideas are rare. Dramatics Club gives an individual the chance to convey his thoughts to others. Students gain poise and self-confidence through their acting experiences. Hemingford High School presented three all- school plays throughout the year: “Murdered Alive,” a thrilling murder mystery; The Lottery, the one act play which brought home a Superior from the speech contest; and “Winnie-the-Pooh,” based on a poem by A. A. Milne. The cast of “Murdered Alive (far left) pause in their respective positions for an ovation. Student teacher Mr. Steve Meyer (above far left) explains acting fundamentals to Marcia Price.

Under the supervision of Mrs. Amy Jensen and Mrs. Sue Volk- mer, President Vicki Hansen di- rected the Pep Club in various fund raising programs. Deborah Wyland, vice-president; Marcia Price, secretary; and Terry Dufek, treasurer assisted her by per- forming the duties of their elected positions. Of the different money making projects, the chicken noodle and chili suppers proved most successful. Spirit building rallies boosted the athletic teams. Varsity and reserve cheering squads led the Pep Club girls. Varsity cheer- leaders consisted of Pat Delsing, Cheri Hansen, Karen and Kathy Prochazka, and Mary Ann Wood. Jody Benda, Colleen Duncan, Di- ane Golka, Irene Phillips, and Len- nie Walters completed the B-squad yell leaders. Bill Smith led the lettermen by serving as president of H-Club. Vice-President, Chuck Messer- smith, and Secretary-Treasurer, Mike Brost, made up the cabinet. H-Club is an honor organiza- tion for athletes who have lettered in a sport. Any of the following requirements must be met: track— earn one point in a meet during the season; football and basket- ball—play one quarter over half of the total number of quarters played; and wrestling—wins in at least half of the individual’s match- es. 23 HHS Bobcats Start Seventies With Victorious 4-3-2 Season Despite a slow start the Bob- cat spirit could not be denied as long awaited dreams of a winning season were finally fulfilled. A nucleus of proud seniors, rein- forced by promising underclass- men, comprised the team which compiled a 4-3-2 record, the best achievement in eight years at HHS. The offensive unit, directed by Coach Larry Sweet, developed ability and g' ?d potency as the season contii ed. Hemingford had a statistical edge gaining 1,667 yards, compared to their opponents’ 1,569. Although the Bobcats’ attack was effective for limited intervals during the early season, the first total team-effort was in the Mor- rill game. Determined blocking by the interior linemen and the strong running of sophomore full- back Dave Engel spurred the Cats to a 14-6 triumph. Engel ran for jaunts of 37 and 53 yards to score both touchdowns in the victory over the Southern Panhandle “C” Champions. Sweet felt the team’s performance against the Lions was the biggest highlight of the year. Bill Smith, senior halfback, (left) rolls to the right for a 12 yard gain to set up the first TD of the season against the Hawks.

Myers (left) breaks up a pass play against Oshkosh. Highlighted by an unyielding defense the Hem- ingford Bobcats capped Homecoming festivities with a 2-0 win over the Minatare Indians. This per- formance was typical of Coach Larry DeWees' de- fenders as they held their opponents to a low six point average per game. Only two teams, Crawford and Hay Springs, scored more than one touchdown on the Cats. Leading the unit was corner lineback- er Myers who received all-conference honors at the season’s end. Defensive tackle Danny Sample and defensive end John Garcia also earned a post-sea- son award by area sports writers for their outstand- ing play during the year. Hemingford played one of its best defensive games against powerful St. Anges. The conference champion Crusaders, undefeated and untied, were trying to sustain their perfect record against the Bobcats. Despite tremendous pressure, the defense held and the game ended in a 0-0 tie, a moral vic- tory for the Cats. 27 Senior forward Chuck Messersmith (above) holds his breath while trying to make two points.

Offensively, they established themselves as a strong team, but played sporadic defense. They had the highest average in the area. Their 65.1 points per game was only 3.1 points under their combined opponents’ 68.2. On January 8 Hemingford topped Hay Springs by a score of 93-70. This output surpassed the previous record of 86 points scored in a single game. Bill Smith meshed 33 points to lead the Cats’ assault. Smith, the most consistent scorer, completed the season with a commendable average of 21.8 points per game, highest in the conference. He was named to the all-conference team for the sec- ond straight year. Several underclassmen played a considerable amount of time gaining valuable experience which should contribute to their performance next year. Coach DeWees lettered eight boys, four seniors and four juniors. 29 30 Tourney Play Gains B-B Boys 1-3 Record In addition to the regular season the round- ballers participated in two tournaments: North Pan- handle “C and District. The Cats outgunned St. Agnes in the initial contest of the double-elimina- tion “PC”, but Rushville, the eventual champion, defeated them 56-43. Hemingford lost to Crawford in the final game which decided third and fourth place. A hopeful squad ventured to Scottsbluff to clash with favored Bayard in the first round of Dis- trict. Playing without high scorer Smith, the under- manned Bobcats surprised the Tigers with a de- termined effort, but finally lost to them by seven points. Smith (far left) attempts a 12 foot jump shot.

After a triple- bogie on the first hole, Bob Coplen fought back to gain a score of 78. This put him in a 4-way tie for the second posi- tion, only one stroke off the lead. He received the 4th place medal after a two-hole playoff. The meet total was 259, on the basis of Bob's 78, Brian Kuhn's 90, and Mike Coplen’s 91. This enabled the team, which was only formed this season, to place tenth in a field of 23 competing schools. The boys, directed by volun- teer coach, George Osborne, attended three other meets in preparation for state. 33 VARSITY RECORD HHS 6-7 OPP 11 Crawford 32 37 Hay Springs 15 11 Rushville 39 21 Harrison 24 41 Hyannis 15 16 Harrison 31 8 Crawford 38 29 Oshkosh 26 26 Bayard 23 15 Rushville 29 26 Oshkosh 21 18 Bridgeport 29 29 Hay Springs 23 Junior Tim Brost (above) gets a fast pin with this painful hold.

This rating can be attributed to the fine per- formance of five individuals who qualified at the district level. Head Coach Glen Kotschwar and Assistant Larry Schnell ac- companied Tim Brost, Mike Brost, John Garcia, David Engel, and David Swanson to the state meet February 19-20. Tim, the district winner, was defeated 5-1 in the finals to take second place in the 112 lb. class. Mike, wrestling at 119, won the consolation round to get third. Fourth place honors went to Garcia when he was de- feated in consolation. Swanson and Engel were eliminated in preliminary matches. This effort compiled 20 points and gained the matmen their placing. The wrestlers gathered 46 points in the Panhandle “C” Tournament. Although some of the staters could not attend, this team showing was good for fourth place. This included two championships, one second, two thirds, and three fourths. One match was the difference between a winning and losing season as the grapplers posted a respectable 6-7 record in dual competition. The Cats possessed plenty of enthusiasm, but lacked experience and started the year slowly. Only seven of the 19 boys participating had wrestled pre- viously, but under the leadership of Coaches Kotschwar and Schnell, they developed into a fine squad in their second year of the sport. 35 Spikers Top Net in Action With a change in attitude and many hard practices, the volleyball girls, under the in- struction of Coach Glen Kot- schwar, earned a winning sea- son. Spirits soared and ambi- tion was high as the season progressed. Total teamwork was the main reason for the girls’ outstanding play throughout the year. Bringing home a third place trophy from the Crawford Jay Cees Volleyball Tournament highlighted the volleyball sea- son. 36 VARSITY HHS 10-5 OPP Hay Springs Minatare Assumption Oshkosh Crawford St. Agnes Harrison Hyannis Sunflower Lyman • B-SQUAD HHS 11-4 OPP Hay Springs Minatare Assumption Oshkosh Crawford St. Agnes Harrison Hyannis Sunflower Lyman Cheri Hansen (below left) digs a spiked ball as his sister Vicki adds a few words of encouragement.

At the district meet at Bayard, a first or second in the finals of the running and field events and a first in the relays qualified a tracks- ter for the state meet in Grand Island. Kathy Pro- chazka earned a berth at the state meet when she and another girl tied for second in a dead heat in the 50 yard dash. Carol Zajic captured a fourth in the same meet when she broke the school record in the 440 yard dash. Karen Pro- chazka pulled in a strong third in the 50 yard low hurdles, one short of qualifying for state. During the season, Kathy leaped a height of 4'6” to break the high jump record which was previously held by Jeanie Mracek at 4’4”.

The season record re- flected the squad’s size for the Cats failed to place highly in any major meet. The team’s lack of depth was so serious that Hemingford had no entries in several events. Although none of the mem- bers could qualify for the state meet, some did place during the season. Delton Myers and Mike Brost received the most points for the year. Brad Haas and Dave Engel showed promise in the sprints. Dave Engel (far below) bursts out of the starting blocks in an open 220.

Seniors End Only to Find Another Beginning Students enter school as chil- dren and slowly their puzzle be- gins to fall into place, until as seniors, they put the final piece in as they complete their required education. For some this final piece will terminate there, but for others it will serve as a bor- der piece in a new puzzle. Some of the seniors may look back at their past four years and breathe a sigh of relief; others will feel an emptiness in their hearts that only memories can fill. No more will they enter through the doors, pass from classes, and greet their friends and teachers as students of Hemingford High School. The seniors now find themselves in a different world, a world of respon- sibility and one of difficult deci- sions. While at HHS they have received an education that will cease to shine in future years, for memories such as these will be cherished forever and ever. 44 Michael Dean Brost James Robert Burri Mark Jay Carey The Class of 1971 (above far left) practice their class song for the last time before they hang their picture in the halls of HHS.

Seniors Seek Fulfillment Through Activities During the year Gary Powell, president; John Garcia, vice-president; Jann Moeller, secretary; and Kathy Prochazka, treasurer, led the class through their final year at Hemingford High School. The only required course for them was English or speech, if they previously had enough credits. The electives—commercial or vocational courses, his- tory, math, social science, social studies, music, art, and physical education were other offered courses.

Traditionally the “busy class”, the juniors found that there was always something to do. Most of the students were devoted to mak- ing money to finance a prom, and spent all year working toward a climax with a tribute to the seniors that wouldn’t be forgotten. Presi- dent, Ted White; Vice-President, Cheri Hansen; Secretary, Chris Planansky; and Treasurer, Pat Del- sing; worked together in organi- zing activities to make ends meet. Several projects including hauling bales, presenting a film, “Cougar Country”, and sponsoring a con- vocation, helped in obtaining the needed money. The class spon- sored the concession stand at all home athletic events. Juniors enjoyed the freedom of choosing from a variety of sub- jects this year. Required were English and American History. Electives were Algebra II, Book- keeping, Business Law, Speech 11, Chemistry, and Modern Prob- lems. On November 19,1970, eighteen juniors attended County Govern- ment Day at the court house in Alliance, Nebraska. They partici- pated in the various offices and learned the procedures of our county government. The group was sponsored by local Legion- naires. Again, the juniors proved that the third year in high school was the most active and exciting they had had.
