She has spent many hours with the various editors in preparing copy and captions. The Staff of the H1950 Discoverer hopes that it has recorded the events of the harvest in such a manner that these cherished memories may remain vivid through the years. There have been many trials and tribulations which have had to be overcome in the preparation of this Annual, but the Staff feels that it has gained invaluable experience and knowl- edge from this work. In overcoming these trials and tribulations, the junior editor and the organization editors had to make many mad dashes about the building to locate people who weren't where they should have been at the time they were supposed to be thereg and several members of the Staff had to make similar dashes to the telephone to inform the photographer of a change in plans! It was not always easy for the advertising managers to lo- cate the managers of various businesses from which they wished to solicit ads, nor was it an easy task to think up original captions for all the ads. Seniors who couldn't decide which studio they pre- ferred were another headacheg and the senior editors racked their brains for ways to describe each senior in the individual write-ups. Confusion and turmoil reigned Ronald Guettler-Business Managerg Lou Ann Ross-Assistant Editorg and Alfreda Plugge-Assistant Business Manager in Room 205 at morning and at noon during the month of February as the business managers attempted to keep an accurate record of all payments made for Annuals. Deadlines were not always met exactly on time because of misplaced copy or pic- tures, and the seemingly impossible task of finding time for writing copy or of get- ting an 'tinspirationn for newer, more clever methods of presenting the material. The advertising skit-H50 Years Lat- er -which was presented in February portrayed the enduring value of an An- nual. Probably no one in Kramer High realizes better than the Staff what part each organization plays in bettering the school and the work entailed in carrying The 1950 Annual Staff thanks its sponsor-Miss Eleanor Limes-for her valuable guidance in all phases of the preparation of the Annual. Although this was her first year as sponsor of an an- nual, she handled her duties very capably and devoted many hours to the varying tasks asked of her. Miss Mary Rankin, too, has earned the gratitude of the Staff by her inestimable aid, especially during Miss Limes' illness. The Staff wishes also to express its appreciation for the fine co- operation of the teachers and the student body, which helped very greatly in mak- ing the Annual a success. This year the Staff was fortunate in having a student art editor and student photographer who should be complimented for their fine work. As more and more material was com- pleted and deadlines seemed to come clos- er and closer together, the Staff became acutely aware of the fact that the high school days of the Class of '50 were nearly finished. This realization brought a sense of regret, but also one of satisfaction in having had a part in gathering material for this record of the senior year of the Cream of the Crop.

It has the thankless job of see- ing that improvements are made, that poli- cies and rules are set up and followed, that teachers are hired, and, in general, that the students are being educated in the best way possible. The members of the Board are John W. Schultz, who serves as President, Ed A. Mur- SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS J. P. Young This is the second year Superintendent J. P. Young has been at Kramer High School. In these two years, all the students have grown to love and respect him. He is always ready to greet every student with a warm smile and a friendly hello. Prior to coming to Kramer High, Mr. Young was Superintendent of Schools in Car- roll, Iowa. Before going to Iowa he was super- intendent at David City, Nebraska. He received his B.S. and M.A. degrees from the University of Nebraska. OF 'EDUCATION phy - Vice President, Lester Ernst - Secretary, Dr. C. H. Campbell, George Johansen, and Mrs. l. E. Levine. Mrs. Ina Person is office secre- tary.

SPROUTS Having successfully cleared thc hurdles of their first two years in Kramer High, the sophomores are now ready to assume their duties as upperclassmen. This class is endowed with many talents and unlimited capabilities which will help them greatly in becoming successful leaders. These qualities have already been displayed in their participation in Kra- mer High's various organizations-Band, Choir, Glee Clubs, Y-Teens, Hi- Y, Junior Librarians, and several others. Two cheerleaders-Janice Asche SIPDIPQVW 3 X X E and Pat Drew, and one majorette-Corinne Gaver, all of whom did a fine job, have been contributed by the Class of '52. Last year this class was led by Mary Reese-President, Burns Ellison--Vice-President, Sharon Liv- ingston-Secretary, and Marvin Plugge-Treasurer. By continuing the excellent work which they have begun, the sprouts'l will be a credit to Kramer High School. Fifth- Row--M. Glasner, D. Grace, Grant, J. Griffiths, F. Gloor, B. Guenther, L.

The Juniors have successfully completed their first year as upper classmen, and have had a taste of the leadership which will be required of them next year. In their first three years they have been noted for their active participa- tion in all phases of school life. Officers for their freshman year were Dick Brodfeuhrer -president, Bob QQSchWantje-vice-president, and Arlene Finley-secretary-Neasurer. That year they had the rather rare honor of having one of their classmates, Sandra Dickey, chosen as ifheerleaderyand several members of the class were in first bandpkclioir, and glee clubs.

Credit should be given to the Juniors for their very suc- cessful Sports Rally. The theme, 'tFiesta , was carried out in their roller-skating, folk-dancing, and other features. The big event, which the Juniors are sure to remember, is the Junior-Senior Prom on which they worked ardently for weeks.

At this Sports Rally several new features were initiated, and many hours were spent planning and carry- ing out the various projects. But the work on the Sports Rally seemed easy when the work was be- gun on the Prom! First the theme, decorations, programs and invitations, food, and entertainment had to be decidedg then, on March 26, the actual decorating began with the use of fireproof paper for the first time. The HBig Nightn was April 22, and the theme- My Blue Heaven -was por- trayed, in predominantly blue decorations. Besides these two main events, the Buds were in charge of the decorations for the Commencement exercises.

Lois Andrews and Torn Miller represented Kramer High at Girls' and Boys, States in June. One of the most important achievements of that year was the institution of Kramer High's Student Council, which has accomplished many things toward bettering the school. In looking back over these past three years, the Cream of the Crop has realized how in- valuable these experiences have been in reaching the final stage of maturity. The pilots selected to lead the Class in its senior year were Robert Thielen - President, Joan Rambour-Vice-Presi- dent, Luetta Korte-Secretary, and Carroll Krumland-Treasurer. The Class had the honor of having one of its members-Joan Muhle-elected Kramer High's first Football Homecoming Queen. Her Attendants were Lois Schlegel, Doris Gertsch, Donna Olson, and Lois Arndt. Merna Ingold and Delbert Weber were again members of the cheerleading squad, and Delbert served as head cheer- leader in the football season. In December the juniors held their Sports Rally, using Fiesta as the theme, at which Mary Jane Stillinger and Richard! Bonk were crowned King and Queen of Sports. December 6 and 7 the Cream of the Crop presented the three act comedy One Foot in Heaven. This was another precedent established by the Class as the Senior Play had been presented in the spring in preceding years.

Grantg D, Murray Virgil Joe', Lindahl--Coach VARSITY The 1949 football season was opened at Kramer High School with many changes. Mr. Virgil UJoe Lindahl succeeded Mr. D. L. Pudgel' Glenn as head varsity coach, and un- der his leadership the Discoverers began an all out campaign to raise their standing in the Big 10 Conference. This campaign marked al- so Columbus' entrance into the well-balanced Mid-East Conference. September 16 officially opened the season as the Discoverers blasted the invading York Dukes, 19-13, although the Columbus lads were outweighed by an 18-pound average. The following week Columbus played at Lincoln Northeast, where they hoped for a sec- ond Mid-East victory, but the heavily out- weighed Maroons were set back, 13-7, after an inspiring battle. Grand Island, the state's top eleven for several years, came to Columbus with high ex- pectations of repeating their over whelming 1948 victory, but the hard-fighting Maroons again put up a terrific battle and held the champion Islanders to a 7-0 score for 315 quar- ters. Then Grand Island pushed over 3 more touchdowns to win, 28-0. K Columbus traveled to Hastings for their next game with revenge on their minds, but fate took a hand and Hastings ground out a 20-13 victory. Beatrice, who had overrun all opponents, added Columbus to their long list with a 25-6 victory on the Columbus field. Fremont came next, and Columbus fans were screaming for a victory and the F-and-C Trophy, but a first-half splurge and good de- fensive work gave Fremont the trophy with an 18-0 victory. With the season drawing to a close, and suffering from a five game losing streak, the Discoverers prepared to play host to the vic- tory-less Norfolk Panthers, and the battle that was staged that night will long 'be remember- ed. The Discoverers showed their earlier form in driving over for a quick touchdown, the play then became rugged, and the referees stepped off a total of 267 yards in penalties before the brawl ended in a 20-20 tie. Somewhat heartened by snapping their long losing streak, the Discoverers traveled to Fairbury for their final game. Once more heavily outweighed but undaunted, Columbus came from behind to tie the Jeffs 13-13, thus ringing down the curtain on high school foot- ball for 13 seniors. X. v ' X D. Clark, R.

JUNIOR LIBRARIANS Service is the well-founded motto of the Junior Librarians. They are always ready to assist in solving the students' many problems. The first semester's officers were Eleanor Finley--president, Marlene Schutte--vice-president, Gaylene Houser- secretary, and Hazel Hallman--treasurer, while those for the second semester were Elaine Fickel--president, Arloa Bakenhus--vice-president, Dorothy Aerni--secretary, Darlene Kaspar--treasurer.

They perform a variety of seemingly endless tasks-build- ing stage sets, supervising shop classes, giving students a helping hand with their projects, repairing broken furniture, and operating the moving picture projector. Often they are called upon for help on very short notice, yet they always respond cheerfully and carry out their allotted tasks quickly and efficiently. They are certainly the unsung heroes of Kramer High School. T. Miller-editor, J. Barrett-vice president, W. Lange-president, N. Smith-treasurer, M. McCarty-secretary. STUDENT COUNCIL Kramer High School is very proud of its Student Council which in only two years has made itself very influential in many respects. It sponsored monthly dances that were well attended by both students and faculty, and, with some of the profits from these dances, three bicycle racks were purchased for the school. A pass sys- tem was also instituted this year by the Student Council, and the second-floor bulle- tin board and information desk were carry-overs from last year. The Student Coun- cil's sponsors, Miss Beatty and Mr. Bower, deserve much of the credit for its success. Top row: C. Nelson, B. Thielen, E. Feye, B. Kluver, G. Drahota, M. Stahl, M.

The motto, Creating, maintaining, and extending throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character , has certainly been well lived up to by this outstanding organization. Under the capable sponsorship of Mr. Alpers and Mr. Baruth, this club has had several suc- cessful Date Nights, a series of basketball games, and a co-meeting with the Y-Teens featuring several interesting talks and films. During the second semester the club lost its President-Don Welch, but his position was capably filled by Torn Miller, who had the very fine assistance of Robert Quick-Secretary, and Gene Placzek-Treasurer.
