Where It’s At ... In Hildreth, we all know where it’s at ... at Hildreth High. It’s where much of the life of any person growing up in Hildreth, Nebraska is spent nine months out of each year. It’s where dances, games, concerts, contests, pep rallies, lunches, recess and . . . on, yes, school, takes place. The memories of all of our elementary, junior high, and high school days will remain with us throughout the years, and this book is just a reminder of the times we shared during the past year. We, the annual staff at Hildreth High, dedicate this book to three people who have shared memories with many during the years they have taught or worked here. Through their hard work and dedication, our lives at HHS has been made easier. To Martha Deist, Leona Hitchcock, and Irene Frerichs, we give to you this book of memories of your final year here, because you have shown many of us . . . where it’s at. Martha Deist helps one of her fourth grade students with a math problem. Mrs. Oeist taught Elementary School and Title I Reading for 22 years In our school. Leona Hitchcock entertains the First Graders with a favorite story of hers. Mrs. Hitchcock served as a Librarian and Educator for 28 years. Irene Frerichs receives a plaque from Superintendent Gary Fisher at Graduation for her many years of service Mrs. Frerichs served as Assistant Cook for 24 years In the Hildreth School System Theme, Dedication 1 Annual staff... The Search For Excellence Continues in Our Annual Endeavor The Annual Staff of 1984-85 wants to begin you on your journey reliving the past year at HHS by showing you Where It’s At . . . in making the Annual. Hard work, many hours of developing pictures, writing stories, selling ads, and, oh yes,. . . goofing around, go Into the making of your yearbook. The staff traveled to Kearney on two oc- casions in September last fall. One was to attend a workshop put on by our publisher, Walsworth, and the other was to sell ads to help pay for this book. The eight members of the Greyhound Annual Staff and their sponsor, Mr. Skrovan, hope you enjoy the memories we’ve enjoyed putting together for you In . . .

This year’s Speech Team, again under the direction of Mrs. Duncan, had another outstanding year, as they finished high in the district and sent five members to the State Speech Contest in Lincoln. Team members worked hard all year preparing their speeches, and their hard work paid off as seven members of the team received superiors in the district contest. Shelly Swarthout (Per- suasive), Brenda Casper (Humorous Prose), Adrienne Benz (Informative), Janelle Harms (Poetry), and Becky Schwartz (Poetry), all finished either first or second in the district, qualifying them for the State Contest. Jill Hinrichs (Informative), and Amy Jo DeJonge (Entertainment) also received Superior ratings at District, but did not qualify for State. Artist-in-Resident Nancy Peters also spent time helping speech students learn the finer points of Poetry and Creative Writing. ONE-ACT PLAY CAST Janelle Harms. Duane Day. Brent Hlnrlchs.

Bobby Joe Davis, which was portrayed by Duane Day, came back to his hometown. He had left years earlier to do a TV talk show and the town had diminished since. He came back to visit his old girlfriend Margie (Brenda Swar- thout), and was met by a jury who placed him on “trial’’ for murdering their town. The jury included Millie and Mollie Pickett (Janelle Harms and Linda Bunger), Andy Fifer (Brent Hinrichs), Pauline Morris (Shelly Swarthout), and Naomi Morton (Becky Schwartz). Margie cast the deciding vote and allowed Bobby Joe to leave Aaron. The one-act team competed in both Conference and District Compe- titions but came up just short of returning to the State Competi- tion. 8 ONE ACT PLAY Bobby Joe Returns To a “Requiem for a Small Town” National Honor society...

National Honor Society is an honor which many students earn every year. To become a member of NHS one must have a grade average of 90% or above and show service to their community, scholarship, good character and good citizenship. This year six new members were elected to join the Hildreth Chapter of the National Honor Society on May 1, 1985. The new members are, Clark Bauer, Adrienne Benz, Brenda Casper, Duane Day, Janelle Harms, and Becky Schwartz. For these people many long days of hard work and service provided them with the recognition they deserved. N.H.S. 9 f.B.L.A. Goat Rattle a surprise Success F.B.L.A. Officers • Susan Pollock.

Future Business Leaders of America is an organization which many students across the country participate in each year in hopes of one day becoming a leader in their own community. The Hildreth Chapter of F.B.L.A. decided to try something slightly different this year to raise money for their organization. They sold raffle tickets to people who wished to give a “friend” of theirs a goat as first prize. People could buy as many tickets as they wished, then they could write the name of the person on the ticket that they wanted to receive the goat. Goat insurance could also be purchased by those not wanting to receive the goat In the raffle. The raffle was a tremendous success, as everyone had a good laugh while supporting the F.B.L.A. Members again this year traveled to Omaha in the spring for the Annual F.B.L.A. Convention. They listened to many speakers and attended workshops on continuing their business interests after high school. The organization was again sponsored this year by Miss Hill. 10 F.B.L.A. ii-ciub • • • T-Shirt Sale Helps Pay OH weights The H-Club at HHS enjoyed a very profitable year In 84-85. When the boy’s basketball team made It to the State Tournament again this year, the H-Club decided to sell T-Shirts to the fans traveling to Lincoln. The sale went very well, as most Greyhound fans bought the shirts to wear at the Tournament. With the money they raised on the sale, the H-Club paid off the remainder of what they owed on the weights they purchased two years ago. They are now looking to work toward purchasing a hip sled, which would aid in the weight training of athletes in all sports at HHS. 1.

The best projects from the secondary students were also invited to compete in other Statewide Fairs, including the Franklin and Hastings Science Fairs. Brenda Swarthout again had an outstanding year as she was named the overall winner at both Fairs. By winning these Fairs, Brenda qualified to present her project at Nebraska Wesleyan University and at the National Science Fair in Shreveport, Louisiana. There she was awarded Scholarships from various organizations, and the Hildreth Public School was recognized for their excellence in the area of Science with money awarded to the School.

In addition to once again presenting a movie on the last day before Christmas break, the mem- bers again assisted in parent-teacher conferences and Grandparents Day in the spring. New to the member- ship this past year was the ob- servance of Teacher Appreciation Week, during which the group saluted teachers through activities which included carnations to wear for the faculty.

The boys argue their point in this playful piece at the Hildreth Jazz Festival entitled Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off . In 1984-85 the Hildreth High Swing Choir showed everyone “Where It’s At”. Exciting performances for the Nebraska Rural Community School Association’s State Convention in Kearney, the NTCC Jazz Festival in Norfolk, the first ever Hildreth Jazz Festival, and numerous performances at school concerts and public activities helped to build the group’s confidence. This year’s group was larger than ever before, with 10 boys and 10 girls selected, giving the group a larger look and sound. Many hours were spent before school perfecting the many songs to be used in the “Treble Makers” repetolre, and the members were well received wherever they performed. Clark Bauer received additional recognition this year as the tenor received a soloist award at the Northeast Technical Community College Jazz Festival for his solo In “It Was Almost Like A Song”. The swing choir began to develop Its own style in 84-85, as their new outfits showed off the laid-back jazz style of songs the group specialized in during the past year.

Conference Choir Clinic, Christmas and Spring Concerts, a “Puttin’ on the Hits” contest, as well as District Music Contests and another visit from the Gulizias, all provided members of the chorus a wide variety of musical encounters to be experienced. With the addition of an Honor Choir at Choral Clinic, eight members of the Chorus were selected to sing in a Special Ensemble before students from around our Conference. Speech choir pieces like “Basketball , a german song, and lip syncing popular hits were new ways in which the Mixed Chorus learned to perform. An excellent rating at contest for both the Chorus and the Swing Choir showed that their hard work paid off for an entertaining year. 1 The Mixed Chorus, which this year was comprised of 19 girls and 13 boys, performs the speech-choir piece Basketball'' at the Spring Concert. 2.

The instrumental music department at HHS enjoyed one of its most successful years in recent memory this past year, as the Marching Band, Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble, and Pep Band received many awards and accolades for their fine performances. Under the direction of Mr. Skrovan, the Marching Band was again invited to start their year with a performance at the State Fair, as well as participate in competitions in Grand Island and McCook. Along with working on halftime shows for Greyhound home games, the band put together a contest show which earned them a second place trophy at the McCook Competition. The Jazz Ensemble also did very well this year, making numerous appearances throughout the year, while also giving a strong showing at the NTCC Jazz Festival in Norfolk and earning a Superior at District Music Contest. Pep Band members also enjoyed another trip to Lincoln to cheer on basketball team members at the State Tournament in Lincoln. 3 BAND COUNCIL - Front Row: Adrienne Benz - Secretary.

Pep Club members spend many hours working In the concession stand, earning money for their organization. The 1984-85 Pep Club showed people In Hildreth “Where It’s At” through great spirit and dedication to the athletic teams at HHS. Whether the Greyhounds were playing at home, or at a district or state tournament far away, pep club members were always there, bringing the fans to life with their many cheers and chants. Dedication is also shown through the concessions that the Pep Club runs throughout the year at athletic events. Being there to sell candy, hot dogs, popcorn, or pop when it is your turn to work is what being a Pep Club member is all about. Led by President Joani Sanders and the cheerleaders, the Pep Club sponsored many entertaining Pep Rallies for the student body during the past year. Water balloons, robots, reindeer, secret agents, and Santa’s helpers were all a part of the memories Pep Club helped to bring in showing us “Where It’s At”. 20 PEP CLUB 4 Everyone got a bang out of the Homecoming pep rally, especially Susan and Curtis. 5.

Once again this year, the H.H.S. problem solvers did very well. The problems of the world that they attempted to solve this year throughout the course of the year were: Drunk Driving, Nuclear Waste, Efficiency of Education, and the Green House Effect. Because all three teams (Elementary, Intermediate Senior) did well on these problems, they all qualified for the state bowl in Kearney, making Hildreth the first school ever to accomplish this. One of the competitions held at the State Bowl was the Skit competition. The senior high team, coached by Mr. Hays, received first place in their division, acting the tale of Dorky (Dorothy) and her dog DoDo (Toto). The elementary team, coached by Miss Laue, received third place in their division, while the Intermediate Team received honorable mention under the direction of Miss Pollard. In the problem competition, the elementary team finished third, while the senior and Intermediate Teams received fourth place in their respective divisions. 1.

Learning The Ins and Outs oi Our Judicial System For the second straight year, the mock trial team finished second in their District behind Alma. This year’s case dealt with the custody of a child. The lawyers for the Greyhound team were Wanda Dallman, Brenda Swarthout, Becky Schwartz, and Cathy Fecht. Brent Hinrichs, Jill Hinrichs, and Susan Pollock, served as witnesses. In Kearney County Court, the Hildreth team defeated the mock trial team from Axtell, then lost a very controversial match to Alma for the championship. Later, in Franklin County Court, the Hildreth team avenged their earlier loss by defeating Alma in an exhibition match. The mock trial effort was helped out by Coach Rod Boss and Attorney John Jelkin. 1 The 1984-85 Mock Trial team grins over their successful win over Axtell In the semifinals of Oistricts. 2.

During the past school year, the Nebraska Legislature voted in many new educational requirements, including one which carefully regulates the amount of time spent by each student in the classroom. Our Administration and school board worked very hard throughout the past year, learning and understanding the new laws and regulations, to assure that the transition here would be a smooth one. Through their dedication and efforts, students at HHS can expect another fine school year next fall. HILDRETH SCHOOL BOARD: Jerry Quadhamer. Maxine Johnson. Ron Kruse. Douq Mietzner. Wayne Hlnrlchs.

Many persons take a great deal for granted when talk turns to public schools. Most people discuss the students, the faculty, the sports or music programs of the school, or the academic standard the school has achieved. But it is the work of the non-certified staff that keeps the public school going, day in and day out. Who else would we give the responsibility to of driving our kids to school, feeding them, cleaning up after them, or making sure that important information gets to them to take home? It is to our secretaries, janitors, cooks, and bus drivers that we owe a lot of credit to for making sure these things are done smoothly and efficiently, making our school the place to be, to be ... “Where It’s At”.

Adjustments had to be made, as these students were spending their first time away from home, and they adjusted well. They also began to learn the alphabet, and using balloon-type figures helped make this task easier.

Putting together scrap books and learning about the history of Hildreth were other activities that they enjoyed. Later in the year they participated in the annual spelling contest. Over Christmas they were very excited to put on some Christmas plays, which included the Nutcracker and Mrs. Clapsaddle. Multiplication tables and some reading helped to finish out the year for the Third grade.

The freshmen made money by holding a soup supper and raffling cakes. President Scott Schwartz said that the money will be used for prom. They showed much spirit all year long. One example was winning the sign contest during Homecoming week. FRESHMEN 43 ROBERT ALBERTS Sophomores: AMY JO DeJONGE, Treas. enjoy moving on up FRERICHS, Sec. This years sophomores weren’t different from any other sophomore class. They were happy not to be freshmen any more. One step up from the bottom of the high school ladder also meant one step closer to planning for prom next year. To raise money for prom they devoted some of their free time to selling pizza kits. Mr. Hays, their faithful sponsor, also organized the class in selling fruit.

JUNIORS 47 48 SENIOR DIVISION The Senior Class of 1985 showed great leadership In bringing some excellent achievements to Hildreth High. These achievements weren’t ac- complished alone, as the underclass- men played an important role, but every good group needs a leader, and the seniors came through. Spring brought busy times, as the seniors presented their class play, “Rest Assured,” which was a big success. They also hosted a carnival which proved fun for the whole town. A Saturday graduation was the first in a long time for any H.H.S. senior class, as their class motto, “The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running,” proved to make the day one to re- member for the “Class of ’85.” SENIOR DIVISION 49 CURTIS FREDRIC BAUER How a man plays the game shows something of his character; how he loses shows all of it.

First to arrive on the scene is Kelly Warnken in his Rockin Rolls Royce. It seems he has picked up five blonde groupies on his way to the lake. Kelly tripped out of his car and walked towards the beach, singing his new hit record, “Heike Klein, Heike Klein,” as he waits for the others. Next comes Becky Schwartz in her Beastly Brown Bomb mobile. But what’s that coming down the road? Swerve Becky, quick! Once again Kelly is seen chasing after his run away car. Oh no! Schwartz is out of control and is weaving in and out of signs; her Beastly Brown Bomb mobile has jumped a ditch and landed in a mud hole. She isn’t very happy because she has just gotten chewed out for parking in a handicapped zone. Out of a blue cloud of smoke appears Jim Soker, with several pizzas. He informs us that the smoke is pouring from his dash as a result of driving 100 m.p.h. all the way from Minden. We noticed his wife wasn’t present. He explained that she decided to walk. And there’s Susan carrying her suitcase loaded with treats. She tells us that she is now a sign repair woman. In her spare time, she has become a professional book thief. Heike Klein has flown back from Germany. She tells us that she has sent in her job application to the Chemistry Department at Hildreth High. Her dream though is to run for President of the U.S. Here comes Curt Bauer hobbling down the road, assisted by his personal physician, Doug Baughman. Curt has been on the tractor all day and would still be in the field if we wouldn’t have called his mother. She assured us though, that he would be there and that he would have fun — or else. Curtis Schmidt has been promoted to President of his new company, a position he has well earned. He now owns three mechanic shops called “Smitty.” A scream of terror fills the air. We turn around, only to find Wanda Dallmann dragging a seventh grader by the ear across the beach. She said she is teaching him some manners. We notice her car is parked on the hill and her rims are full of weeds. Wanda explains that she took a short cut through the alfalfa field on her way from Franklin. And here comes every girl’s dream. The one and only, Brent Hinrichs. He vowed he would never marry, but tagging behind him is his beautiful wife who is a model. Brent informs us that his stocks in Shaklee and Integrated Logic have since tripled in value. He is a world famous stockbroker. Joani Sanders comes to a screeching halt in her green machine. Out of her car pops twenty little second graders who are yelling, “Noani.” She has taught her students the importance of wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day. As we can see, Joani has recovered from her red-eyed syndrome experience from the Prom of 1984. Next, Bryon Casper arrives with his new twelve thousand dollar stereo system in his arms. But that isn’t all he has brought along. He couldn’t forget his weights. He said he was on a 24-hour-a-day weight program, except when he plays football for Uncle Tom. He plays a certain style, which Bryon says is the only way to go. Last to arrive are Jill Hinrichs and Brenda Swarthout with their identical husbands. They all get out of the car shaking because Brenda has just run over a dead dog. Jill passes around the photo album of their double wedding. She has become a gourmet chef and her specialty is “duck soup.” Brenda has become a Professor of Experimental Psychology and judges science fairs in her spare time. She also teaches a defensive driving course on the side. We are now all here and we decide to take Bryon’s van for a spin. Brenda has remembered the brownies and iced tea and once again we find it takes four people to drive the van. Curt Bauer lies groaning in the back seat. His once sexy white legs are now permanently marred with sun blisters. The gathering comes to an end. We find that every member of our class has become a success because, “we believed in us.” CLASS PROPHECY 53 JAMES LEE SOKER If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, they’re yours to keep; If they don’t, they never were. 54 SENIORS TAMMY POLLARD Sponsor BRENDA LEE SWARTHOUT The purpose of life is to be that self which one truly is. KELLY JAY WARNKEN Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall. The Greyhound Basketball Team once again had an outstanding and successful season, fin- ishing with a 20-3 record and ending up State D-2 runnerup to Clearwater. A goal that the Hounds strived for all year was to better their accomplishments of the previous year, when they lost in the semi- finals of the state tournament to Lexington St. Ann’s The year began well for Hildreth, with six straight victories to start the season, including a 98-65 win over rival Wilcox. Following a dis- appointing loss to Lawrence after Christmas, the Hounds reeled off nine more victories, in- cluding a 69-63 conference championship win over Davenport, before losing to Kenesaw in the final regular season game. After getting by a tough Benedict team in the District finals, the Hounds traveled to Lincoln to avenge last season’s tournament loss to St. Ann’s. Following victories over Lexington St. Ann’s and Snyder, the Greyhounds met de- fending champ Clearwater in the Devany Sports Center for the state championship. Although their final goal for the year was not reached, the Hounds had a great season, reaching many goals and breaking many records along the way in ’84-’85.

Despite playing four state playoff bound teams during the season, the hounds finished with their best overall record in 3 years under new head coach Doug Baughman. Beginning a season in which they would finish second in the conference and barely miss the playoffs in the final game of the season, the hounds started off right by defeating Falls City Sacred Heart 32-12. In the next four games, the hounds played three state playoff contenders, defeating Davenport and Bladen, while losing to Wilcox and State D-2 finalist Trumbull. Following three straight wins, including a 28-0 shutout of Bruning on Homecoming Night, the Greyhounds finished their season with a loss at Lawrence. Taking over the assistant coaching position vacated by the promotion of Coach Baughman, Bill Surface became the hounds new assistant coach, bringing with him many years of coaching experience in Hastings. Leading the Hounds rushing attack during the past season was C. Schmidt, whose 814 yards included a 209 yard performance against C-H-B, in which he scored 5 touchdowns. Leading the defense were C. Schmidt, B. Hinrichs, and Curtis Bauer with 104, 87, and 84 tackles respectively. Many of the Hounds received post season honors for their play during the season. These included: BRYON CASPER - AP All State D-2 Center, Omaha World Herald 1st team D-2 Center, Lincoln Star 1st team D-2 Center, and Honorable Mention Defensive End, Hastings Tribland 1st team Center and Defensive End, Kearney Hub 2nd team Center, All Conference 1st team Center and Honorable Mention Defensive End.

FOOTBALL 61 Lady hounds combine youth, experience TO FINISH SEASON EVEN 62 BASKETBALL The 1984-85 Girls Varsity B ended an up and down season able 8-8 record. The started off their season with a tough loss against eventual state runner-up Bladen. The Lady Hounds then followed four straight victories with four setbacks, including a tough 48-34 loss to Axtell. The girls finished the reg- ular season strong, however, as they won two of their final three games before heading into conference tournament action. It was there that they again met Bladen, this time falling by a count of 51-26. The Lady Hound offense sparkled in the sub-district match against Trumbull, as the team racked up its highest point total of the year, defeating the Bearcats 61-27. The reward for playing such a fine game was again to meet Bladen in the sub-district final, and although they played Bladen tough, they again fell 41-26. Although it was an up and down year for the Lady Hounds, the experience gained by the many underclassmen who saw action should benefit the team when they begin next year’s basketball season. 1 Becky Schwartz quickly maneuvers around a Trumbull defender 2 As Joanl shoots the ball.

Double victories Highlight celebration Homecoming night in 1984 was a successful night all around for Hildreth as the first double theme dance followed double victories by the volleyball and football teams. Following a three set victory over Bruning by the Lady Hounds, the boys took the field under excellent conditions to meet the Bears in football. After the Hounds put the finishing touches on a 28-0 victory, last years King and Queen, Jeff Johnson and Jamie Alberts, crowned this years homecoming royalty, Brent Hinrichs and Becky Schwartz. The homecoming dance, which was well attended, featured the sounds of Complete Music from Kearney. “This is it” and “Purple Reign” provided the double themes for the dance. During the week prior to Homecoming night, students participated in spirit week activities which included dress up days and a poster contest. Fairytale, Sweats, Occupation, Dress up, and Spirit days added much color to the week as Miss Pollard, Brad Fuerst, and Trisha Jelden won prizes as the best dressed. The freshmen class won this years poster contest, as the week ended with a large pep rally uptown. 1.1984 Homecoming Court of: Brenda Swarthout. Jill Hinrichs. Queen Becky Schwartz.

Her name was Heike Klein, and she came to Hildreth from the small West German town of Nenderoth, which is located 60 miles north of Frankfurt. Though adjustment to her new culture took some time, Heike soon became an important member in our school. From participating in school athletics (volleyball) and band (clarinet), to working on the problem solving team and being in the Senior Class Play, Heike met many new friends while being a part of school activities. Her numerous appearances at clubs and organizations in and around Hildreth helped Heike to share her culture with many others. Just as Heike learned a great deal about small town America in her year long stay with us, so too did the residents of Hildreth learn much from this friendly small town girl from Germany. 1.

Many underclassmen saw action during the season, and this should help them improve with the experience they gained in the 1984-85 season. The following girls received honors for the 1984-85 basketball season: Jill Hinrichs, All-Conference Second Team, Hastings All-Area Second Team; Joani Sanders, All-Conference Honorable Mention, Hastings All-Area Second Team; Amy Hinrichs, All-Con- ference Second Team, Hastings All-Area Second Team. In addition to these honors, Jill and Joani were also selected to play for the NSCC Team in the area All-Star game. 66 GIRL’S BASKETBALL j.v. Lady Hounds Have Great Season JV Girls Basketball Team members enjoyed a near perfect season, losing only in their season finale to Lawrence to finish at 8-1. Coached by Mr. Surface, the JV Lady Hounds used depth and an aggressive defense to shut down opponents, holding five of them to under 20 points. Overtime victories over Bladen and Roseland, as well as a 19-0 shutout of Campbell, helped build team confidence in preparing the squad for future Varsity Action. With many young members on the team, the future looks bright for girl's basketball at Hildreth. 1. Kandy cuts through the key to receive a pass In the low post. 2.

The team, which was comprised of six freshmen and three sopho- mores, was often matched up against much taller opponents throughout the season. Their aggressive defense and teamwork kept them in many games with tough opponents, and helped them to victories against Loomis and Orleans. Statistics weren’t important though, as their team effort produced some important varsity playing time for some members of the team. Many of these players will see action on the varsity team next year, and because of their hard work under the di- rection of Coach Baughman, their transition to varsity will be an easier one. 1.

Learning volleyball basics was what the girls worked hard in practice to accomplish, and those fundamentals payed off in the Hildreth Junior High Invitational as the Junior Lady Hounds finished third. The addition of new eighth graders Monica Cole and Mary Morris added heighth to the young volleyball squad, which was comprised of seven 7th graders and five 8th graders. In getting their first taste of Interscholastic Athletics, these girls gained the experience necessary in playing high school sports. JUNIOR HIGH GIRL’S VOLLEYBALL Front Row: Dee Ann Brown.

The Jr. High football team, coached by Mr. Sur- face, had a tough year, losing both the games they played against Campbell. The first game ended 30-18 in favor of Campbell. Although the Hounds lost their second outing against Campbell, 18-14, they showed great improvement. Coach Surface commented that they made great progress through the season. One strong point for the Hounds was their passing game, and they also learned to run the always effective option play. Although a lack of size hurt against a bigger Campbell team, the benefits of playing in games helped greatly to pre- pare them for high school football.

The 1984-85 season of Jr. High Basketball was what the Jr. Lady Hounds considered, “Rewarding”. They started off the year playing against Wilcox, and the game looked very positive for the Hounds after one half, but then suddenly changed directions toward the end of the game. Coach Hill called timeout to change their strategy, and that move resulted in their first win of the season. Following a lopsided loss to Axtell in their next game, the girls set their sights on their next opponent, the Campbell Cardinals. The Hounds got off to a quick start in their match with Campbell, holding their lead throughout the game to end their “Rewarding” season with a 30-5 victory. 1 As Mary positions herself for a possible rebound.

The Junior High Boys Basketball Team showed a great deal of improvement during their season as they finished with a 2-3 record and third place in the Franklin Invitational Tournament. After an opening season loss to a very quick Axtell team, the Hounds rebounded by defeating Campbell 31-18. Following a loss to Wilcox, the Hounds began the Franklin Tournament by losing a very close match with Franklin, 36-31. The Junior Hounds finished their season strong, however, as they defeated Alma to win third place. The team worked hard throughout the year under the guidance of coach Surface, as learning funda- mentals was the name of the game. The skills these young players began to develop this season will someday carry them to play an important role in Hildreth Varsity Basketball. V oung Team Builds Compeiiliveness For Future This year’s Girl’s Track Team was a much younger, less experienced team from many in the past, but even with only one Senior on the team (Becky Schwartz), the girls set their goals high for the year. Meeting those goals took alot of effort, but in the process they set five new school records and tied another as they finished 11th in the NSCC Conference. Sophomore Amy Hinrichs had a fine year in the sprints, as she tied the school record in the 100 meters (13.4, held by Becky Schwartz), and set a new standard in the 200 (28.2). Freshman Leann Johnson showed a bright future in the distance events as she set a new record at 3200 meters (16:32.1). Janelle Harms placed third in the Conference by bettering the school record in the shot put (33-ft. 7-in.), and Michele Pollock set a record in the 880-yd. run (2:48.5), and teamed with Leann, Janel Kruse, and Shelly Hogeland to set a new mark in the 3200 meter relay (11:43.0). 74 GIRL’S TRACK even Records set, Two Go To Slate The 1984-85 Hildreth Boy’s Track Team enjoyed its most successful season in years last season as seven records were broken, two members of the team qualified for State, and the team finished 5th in the conference meet in Sutton. Under the guidance of new head coach Bill Surface, the team trained hard all season, coming on strong at the Conference and District Meets. Both Clark Bauer, who set records in the 1600 meters (4:53.8), mile (5:00.7), 3200 meters (10:19.4), and two mile (10:47.1), and Bryon Casper, who finished first in the Conference in the shot (43'Vi”), qualified for the State Track Meet in Omaha. Others who set records during the season were: Barry Schmidt - discus (101’3”), Jim Soker - 800 meters (2:13.9), Shahn Boss, Jim Soker, Mike Dorn, Clark Bauer - 3200 meter relay (9:07.4). 1.

BOY’S TRACK 75 Junior High Girls Finish Tenth in Conference A new experience for Junior High students this past year was the beginning of track season In P.E. Class. Though most students play football and volleyball in the fall, and basketball in the winter, the running of track and field events is something relatively new to students entering Junior High. With the exception of elementary field day each year, most students don’t get the opportunity to run long distances, or to high jump or throw the shot put. Junior High track gives kids this opportunity. This year’s girl’s Junior High team prepared all spring for their meets, only to see most of them rained out. When they did finally get to compete, they made the most of it by finishing tenth in the conference meet at Sutton. The strong point for the girl’s team this year was in the weights, where Becky Casper finished first in the discus with a throw of 86-ft. 2-in.

Coach Surface, in his first year with the boy’s team, worked the team through a rigorous workout schedule during P.E. class in preparation for the conference meet in Sutton, where the Junior Hounds finished 11th. More important to these athletes than scoring points, however, was to improve their own individual performances, and that they did. Scoring for the Hounds in the Conference meet was Russ Largent, who finished second in the High Jump with a leap of 5-ft. 5-in. n i 4ijrt it BOYS JUNIOR HIGH TRACK TEAM Kneeling: Jerel Sanders.

After a long week of hard preparation the Junior class finished changing the gym into a Mississippi Riverboat to fit their theme. The evening began with a social hour for the parents of the Junior and Senior classes. The Parents were served punch and hors d’oeuvres while they viewed the happenings “On the Mississippi”. Following social hour, the Juniors, Seniors and their dates sat down to a flavorful meal of sirloin steak, baked potato, broccolj with cheese sauce, fruit slush, and chocolate eclair dessert, served by the Sophomore servers, who were dressed to fit the occasion, wearing bartending outfits and flappers. During the dinner, everyone was amused by guest speaker Ron Schafer, of Minden, who told us about his past prom experiences. The Junior girls also entertained with the song, “Times of Your Life.” To cap the special evening everyone enjoyed a dance with the disco Complete Music of Kearney. 80 PROM 1.

GRADUATION Seniors Say Farewell on “Special Day” Salutatorian Curtis Bauer Valedictorian Jill Hinrichs Guest Speaker Reverend Melvin Hagelberg As the Senior Clas of 1985 made their way into the gym on May 11th for graduation, one could sense a different “air” about this graduation from one’s in years past. For one thing, the Saturday afternoon ceremony was the first to be held on a Saturday in recent memory. Next, it was foreign exchange Senior Heike Klein who led the Senior Class into the gym to begin the Commencement Exercises. Hildreth had not had a foreign student in our school since 1970. But finally, after Pastor Hagelberg gave the Invocation, and after Heike read a special thank you to the community for their support during her stay, Brenda Swarthout showed us another reason why this day was special. She performed on the piano “Together We Believed”, a song she composed and dedicated to her classmates, the Class of ’85. After Pastor Hagelberg gave his Sermon, Gary Fisher, Superintendent of Schools, promoted the sixth grade. Curtis Bauer, Salutatorian, and Jill Hinrichs, Valedictorian, then delivered their Farewell Addresses to the audience. Following the Presentation of the Diplomas and the Scholarships, the Senior Class showed why they were special by singing, “I’ll Remember You” to their families and friends. They marched out after the Benediction as new Alumni of Hildreth High, following a special day the thirteen graduates will all remember. 1.

These guests consisted of the three college girls (Flickie, Becky and Joan), Mrs. Guarino and Antonia from Italy, the honorable Bill Lindsay, Mr. Oscar Pozenby, Miss Pidgie, Willie Woodson and his soon to be wife Evalina Bumpass, and last but certainly not least to arrive was the lady with the $10,000 pearls, Mrs. Reginald Vander- venter. 86 JUNIOR CLASS PLAY As the hours go by, the passengers become more restless and Miss Pidgie becomes a real nag (to put it mildly). But everyone, somehow, survives through all of the commotion and difficult times until the end, when it is discovered that all of Mr. Pozenby’s white mice are missing. After the night of the play had come and gone, the curtains were closed, the props were taken home and the play books, retired. Well, until next year, when the Senior play arrives, there are many good memories to be looked back on and Mrs. Duncan can look forward to another opening curtain. 1.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY 87 Senior Class Play no DoubiAbout success, II Was “Rest Assured” The senior class showed the community where it’s at. . . In play productions by presenting Rest Assured in the spring. Learning lines, building sets, collecting props, staging, are all a part of putting on a successful play. The seniors worked hard to put these pieces together to put on a play that gleamed of both confidence and style. The story is that of a man, Phillip Morlock, portrayed by Brent Hinrlchs, who has been described as a machine set to make money”. But In his eagerness for his daughter not to marry a poor man, he dreams he is haunted by the ghost of the father of his daughter’s fiancee, which causes him to overdose on sleeping pills and die. What he learns while he is dead” causes Phillip Morlock to realize he must change his ways and enjoy life more. When he awakes from his dream to find he is still alive, he allows his daughter to marry Joe, and he makes up with Luigi Lanconi, who haunted him in his dream. Excellent performances by all made the success of this senior play Rest Assured”. 88 Senior Class Play “REST ASSURED” Cast: Seniors of 1985 Jessica............... Becky Schwartz Mildred..............
