She was a member of the Latin Club her first year in Kramer High School. Who's that man with the mighty build? Why, that's GENE APPLEGATE. Weenie who was active in the Boys' C Club 13-49, played the guard position in football during his Junior and Senior years. He was also a track- man throughout his four years.

Her ability to gain friends will help her greatly in this line of work where person- ality paves the way for effective service. Responsible for much of the scenery used on the stage this year was IVAN KRUMLAND. Maybe his hobby of picturetaking accounts for those many hours he spent pouring over Pop- ular Photography in the library.

Throughout the football season, Ted handled the ball well. He did a great deal of the punt- ing. passing, quarterbacking and was a deadly tackle. He was one of the main reasons the Dis- coverers finished with three wins. three ties and only three defeats. During the year he took many beatings just as any other good football player does, and during the Norfolk game he played with a badly bruised right arm which affected his passing. , Ted, following in his brothers' footsteps, was very active in sports throughout his high school ca- reer. He went out for football, basketball and track every year and always gained recognition as a good sport-full of enthusiasm and pep. Not only was he a good athlete, but he was a good student. Ted's success was partially due to the fact that he was even-tempered and so commanded the respect of every player under his leadership, and was always on good terms with the rest of the team. Ted deserved the honor, and Kramer High is proud to share the recognition he brought to the team and to the school.

The Discoverers used above-the- average Iron Man tactics and held Grand Island to one touchdown which was scored late in the fourth quarter. Grand Island was forced to come from behind to earn the tie. The Columbus touchdown was made on a pass play by Kenfield to Brock on the line of scrimmage. Spitz kicked the extra point. October 16 The unbeaten David City Scouts added the Maroons to their list of victories by a 6-0 score on the former's field. The Columbus team, minus Ted Kenfield, lacked the pep to score.

For many years German was taught but last fall it was dropped and Spanish added again. Who knows-some- day these club members may be needed to enforce the Good Neighbor Policy. Under the direction of Miss Crue, the club en- joyed several parties and meetings during the year. On one occasion, Mr. Findley Howard was a guest speaker. The following people were the officers for the year: Betty Van Berg, president: Martita How- ard, vice president: Bill Christensen, treasurerg Normana Boettcher, secretary. -um. N, lam-tu'Iwi'. Exercitus Romanus Not one, two. or three-but eighteen years old. Thus the Latin Club has the distinction of being the oldest club in Kramer High. Organized in l925 by Miss Rankin, the club this semester has forty-nine members, led by Alyce Van Berg, president, LaDene Crumley, vice president, .Joan Browitt, secretary, and Sylvia Stevens, treasurer. Both Miss Rankin and Miss Quade are sponsors of the club. The most important social event of the year was the Roman Banquet, where the guests dressed and acted just as the Romans did thousands of years ago, Other highlights were the initiation for new members and the party for all Latin students. This was held to acquaint the Freshmen with the organization. Many students are taking Latin because they realize that it is a foundation for all other languages which will be needed after the war. lin--lc row M. Rneltv-her, II.

Decked out in new uniforms, the traditional maroon and white colors, the band is now one of the best dressed school bands in the state. On March 8, Mr. Anderson, present band director, joined the faculty, succeeding Mr. Corn, former director, who left to go into defense work. Two concerts were given by the band during the year, a winter one in Janu- ary, a spring one in May. The pep band played at all home-town basketball games. The whole band marched between halves at the football games. The entire band traveled to Lin- coln October 9, where they played in mass formation with other school bands during the half of the Nebraska-Indiana football game at Memorial Stadium. Members of the band played in quartets, trios, and duets, as well as solos, before various groups of the city. Twelve band members journeyed to Fremont April 16 to attend the District music contest. They captured five Superiors, two Excellents, and one Good rating, thus bringing to a close a very successful year. Personnel of the Band Hack row, standing-I.. Hassellmlch. M. Howard. N. Schroen. M.

Spud Erwin, were related in the amusing comedy Ever Since Eve presented May 6-7 by the Seniors under the direction of Miss Libby Blazkovec. This play, centered around school life. tells in a hilarious manner the life of Mr. and Mrs. Clover and their son, Johnny. The escapades of Susan Blake, neighbor. add more than just a little to the boys' difficulties, especially in the matter of the school paper. Susan, made co- editor by Miss Willard, has modern ideas as to how a school paper should be run. and after listening to Johnny's explanation of the barter system to the luscious, southern belle, Lucy- belle Lee, gets an idea. Spud's vain attempts to sell ads to finance a 3-color cover, drives her to the system of bartering . The result would hardly be called good business, but it did bring results. Measles plus the 3-color cover managed to bring together Mr. Quinn and Miss Willard. and to show Johnny that a southern accent wasn't the only thing in life. Betsy Erwin, Spud's talkative sister. and Cappy add laugh- ter to the farce. The 382 laughs recorded by the cast proved beyond a doubt that the play was outstanding and characterizations super . ln Gay Havana Against the background of a colorful Cuban setting and the rhythmic strains of a native orchestra, this operetta, presented by the A Capella Choir March 18 and 19, was especially successful. It was under the direction of Miss Leota Davis. The music. decidedly Cuban in style. had a catchy rhythm and good melody. The plot contained just the right amounts of mystery and romance to make it exciting. The guests at the Hotel Isla de Cuba are confined by the outbreak of the perennial Cuban revolution which causes many misunder- standings. The plot is built around the various complications which result. The mystery element enters upon the arrival of a beautiful Cuban girl and her mysterious companion at the hotel. Romance is supplied by some American college boys who are guests. and by the native Cuban senoritas.
