Hildreth Public School - Greyhound Yearbook (Hildreth, NE)

The Year A typical year of school passed into history once again at Hildreth. Classes functioned as usual, but a number of changes were seen in Hildreth. The mainstreet was the scene for the majority of changes of Hildreth. As we travel up Commercial Avenue we first no- tice the absence of the old Rec Hall and the garage where city equipment was kept. The buildings were torn down in the fall of 1981, as new plans were adopted for a new city hall, library and fire department. As we keep moving north, we see that many of those green machines put out by John Deere are no longer to be seen as Schwartz Brothers Implement decided to close its doors after many years of business. In the same vicinity but across the street we see that the paint store is no longer in business. Soon after it closed, South Cen- tral Video opened in its place. World-wide news also added much his- tory to those dreaded history books. Throughout the year, our ears were the re- ceptors of the following events: One of world's greatest weddings occured on July 29, 1981: The Royal Wedding of Lady Diana and Prince Charles. More test flights of the Space Shuttle Columbia were launched. 2

Those concerned with political figures of the world will not forget the assassina- tion of Egyptian leader Anwar Radat. Per- haps the biggest government advancement was the appointment of Sandra Day O'Connor as the first woman justice to the Supreme Court. Snorts-minded people will remember the 50 day strike of the Major League Play- ers Association. After the problems were solved, the Los Angeles Dodgers were crowned the World Champions in November. Early in 1982, Super Bowl XVI paired the 1 9'ers of San Francisco against the Bengals of Cin- cinnati. The UO'ers defeated the Bengals 26-21. Somewhat closer to home, the Ne- braska Cornhuskers made it to the Orange Bowl but were defeated by Clemson, 22-15. In March of 1?82, the Kearney State Ante- lopes were rewarded their 5th straight ap- pearance to the NAIA Basketball Tournament in Kansas City with a Vth place finish. Since much of what happened was far from Hildreth, we had to turn to local towns such as Minden and Kearney for enter- tainment. Going to movies and dances, bowling and eating pizza enticed us f“rom the streets of Hildreth. In additions many of us had the opportunity of turning science fiction into reality by skiing the hills of Nebraska . 3
