It was due to their permission that the annual staff was al- lowed to march on and produce the tenth volume of the treasured Minute Man. Although the members of the hoard may not he well lcnown to many of our high school students, their influence is felt. They not only determine the general policies for our education, hut they encour- age us to high standards of scholarship and charac- ter, assist us in fostering the traditions, and give counsel upon our many activities. Wfe, the class of l936, wish to express our ap- preciation to the hoard of education for the many services it has rendered and for the educational ad- vantages it has provided in order that we may func- tion effectually in a changing society.

ROBERT HARVEY, Prexidmf JAMES BURR, Secretary VERNON FRENCH, Treasurer BERTHA SOKER, Sponsor ln 1934 some of the L.l-l.S. leaders felt a need for student government and proceeded to collect all possible data on the organization and functioning of a student council. The next fall the work continued, and by the second semester of 1935 everything was ready for a vote of the student body. The 'Qyeasv won and the august body is composed of representa- tives from all classes with equal home room repre- sentation, junior high school, faculty, and extra-cur- ticular organizations of the school, seventeen in all. Under the counselorship of Miss Solcer, the council has relieved the teachers of a number of du- ties in achieving its purpose, that of promoting the general welfare of the school, to train for worthy citizenship, to develop intelligent leadership and the sane following of intelligent leadership. The council held a most interesting party in Nlarch, inviting all students as guests who had in any manner helped to carry out the program of the council. Neat arm bands in orange with black letters were made by the members and are worn to identify those in authority. The council has met some opposition, hut most students feel that it has been very worthwhile and are desirous of its continuance with the whole heart- ed support of the student body.

As the clock of eternity ticks off the time, new faces, and new ideas make their appearance in the form of freshmen at L.I-l.S. After four years they have developed into striking personalities. Our class of '36, which might be known as the Leap Year Class,', has carried the customs, the tra- ditions, and the duties on our shoulders for a year, but now we leave them for succeeding classes. Espe- cially, do we leave them to the juniors who will be seniors in ,36-'37. May all the students in the years to come strive to keep up or surpass the ideals as we, the senior class, have tried to maintain the prophecies of our predecessors. Page 9 l'f!.I 5 TAF 4 I fy?

Mess', was called by the issuance of a big sombrero in the predominating ured and brown color scheme. A typical western situation presented itself in the corral, with saddles-everything from down on the ranch adorning the walls and tables. Cowboys, lassoing nutcups formed the place cards: cacti surrounded the cowboy shanties to form the table centerpieces with cow- boys and girls on ponies coming down the trail.

Dills was an outstanding athlete on the University of Missouri teams. He was all Big-Six quarterback and made the last touchdown ever scored against Kansas. In basketball , he played guard. Dills also was an outstanding track man RUSSELL DILLS as he still holds the unbroken record for the 440. Because of his high ideals of sportsmanship and loyalty, he won the respect of all his players. The citizens and the high school students are very proud of having such a fine coach as an instructor in Lexington. H W 5 gf Keith was unanimously elected honorary captain this year. His heads-up playing and his ability as a leader inspired his fellow players to give their best in every game. As a halfback Keith is hard to equal. His speed and shiftiness was feared by all the opponents and it helped him score 76 points this year. Keith also called signals at times and played a fine game as a safety. He is a senior and three-year letterman whose position will be hard to fill next fall. KEITH COFFEY rs H il! Witliin the next two years the Lexington athletic field will be one of the best and most beautiful fields in the state. The well lighted blue grass field will be surrounded by a recindered track with newly painted curbs. The school should be proud of such a fine field. ht sr I sl JN In H J! Assistant Coach Miller has the post of developing prom- ising material for next year. He coached the second team which turned in a good seasonls record. He also coached the underclassmen in basketball and helped Coach Dills with track. The whole school appreciates his loyal support and enthusiasm which will lead to greater development of GEORGE MILLER Lexington athletics.

Under the training of their new coach, Russell Dills, the Orange and Black were able to win seven games, tie one, and lose only two of the ten-game schedule. The Minute Men plucked the Overton Eagles clean, to start off their schedule with an overwhelming victory of 59 to 0. The next game with Kearney was a tough one. The home boys scored a safety in the first quarter to win a marginal victory of 2-0. Minden was the next opponent, and the Orange and Black trounced them 58-O. On October 11, the North Platte Bulldogs invaded the local camp and gave the Lex- ington team their first taste of defeat by a score of 14-0. Undaunted by their first defeat the Minute Men trimmed the McCook Bisons, on a dusty field, by a score of 30-0. In a hard-fought game the Lexington boys were unable to break the jinx and were handed a 7-0 defeat by Curtis. The Dusters and Minute Men tangled on the home field in their annual classic that ended 6-6. The boys played their last game away from home with the Cozad Haymakers, and walloped them 21-7. The Minute Men had their guns polished and with plenty of ammunition they warded off the Broken Bow Indians to the tune of 19-0. The big Thanksgiving Day game climaxed the season. The strong Gothenburg team was sent home with a 7-O defeat ringing in their ears. Overton ,,,,,,, Kearney ,,,,,,,, ,..., Minden ,,,,,,,,,,, ..

J', dl' Secon cl Team Coach Miller guided the Lexington Reserves in a very successf our gaiie schedule that ended with the Junior Minute Men winning three games and tying one. Some new boys showed ample ability on this squad and will add strength to next yearls lineup. The first game was played with Gothenburg on the Swedels field. Four quarters of hard football were played with neither team winning an advantage over the other. The game stood at a 0 to 0 deadlock when the whistle sounded. The Cozad second team was the next that the Lexington Seconds met. The l-laymaker,s team failed to stop the conquering Junior Minute Men who upset them 38 to O. A return game with Gothenburg was fought on the home turf. Hard blocking and heads-up playing throughout the entire fray by the future Minute Men gave them a 7-6 victory over their rivals. The last game of their short schedule was with Cozad. The l-laymakers were again trimmed by the Lexington Reserves in a wild scoring fray that ended with the score standing 42-0. Next year Coach Miller intends to give the boys more experience by playing a larger schedule. Some of the outstanding players on this yearls squad were I-laworth, Dow, C. Banks, and Edeal.

Because of the difficulty in finding a dependable coach and also the lack of funds and equipment, the Midgets played only three games. The school is proud of these small boys who made every one of their games a victory. The first game was played at Cozad. The Buchholz lads knocked off the Haymakers by a score of 19 to 0. The North Platte Midgets, who have a valley-wide recognition of never being defeated, came to Lexington this year for the annual classic. The miniature Bulldogs scored a touchdown but failed to make the extra point. The Lexington boys kept on hitting the line with such great force that the little Bulldogs finally yielded and were brushed off the map 7 to 6. Some of the outstanding players on this squad were: Dean Bredenkamp, Paul Zook, Dick Warren, Harold Bacon, Kenneth Pickett, Harold Burns, and Harold Riley. No cap- tain was elected this season because of the short schedule. Cozad 0, r,,,, ,r,,,,,,,,,,, 7 , ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,, ,,,r,,, I 9 Lexington Cozad 0 ,i.,,,,, ,.,. , U18 Lexington .

KEITH COFFEY Forward Keith was fast and clever with his floor work and handling of the ball. He had a dead-eye for foul-line shots. Senior.

He didn't make many points, but could keep the ball in his possession and then pass it in for set-ups. junior. BYRON WALLER Guard Waller played with skill. taking advantage of his height in following shots and getting the ball off the bankboard. junior. WAYNE ROUDEBAUGH Forward Wayne was small but made up for this disadvantage in height with speedy dribbling. passing and shooting. Junior. Page 31 Resume oi Basketball The Lexington High School basketeers displayed some of the best basketball playing in several years this season. Fast shooting, quick floor work, and good passes helped the boys get inside the foul line for their set-ups. At times the team had some tough luck hitting the hoop, but in spite of these nights, they won ten and lost only four of their scheduled games. Curtis bumped off the Minute Men twice, and Kearney and North Platte were victors once each. The first game with the Elm Creek quint was easily won by Lexington. Grand Island also fell 23-18 in a close game, but the Minute Men lost to Curtis in the next game. Gothenburg was taken into camp 24-7 and then Lexington and I-Ioldrege played a thrilling game with the home team winning by 4 points. Kearney gave the Orange and Black a bad drubbing of 44-20, in their annual classic this year. Cozad and Lexington had to play an overtime period in their first game and Lexington won 26-22. The North Platte Bulldogs won a marginal 2-point victory over the Lexington lads this season. Loup City fell in a wild game that put the Minute Men back on a five game winning streak. The Swedes, who had beaten North Platte and Curtis, were downed by Lexington to the tune of 42-19. The Cozad Haymakers failed to furnish the close game that was expected and were beaten badly, 48-15. To fill in a game the Overton Eagles proved their sportsmanship by coming to Lexington and taking a loss of 42-17. Ravenna with a quint of tall boys invaded the local court this year but were unable to ward off the Minute Men's strong attack and took a troucing of 51-24. In the last game Curtis won a hairline victory of 20-18 to cap- ture the Southwest Conference crown. In the Class A Tournament at North Platte, the Lexington hoopsters won from Ord, but lost to the Broken Bow Indians in the semi-finals.

This method of coaching gave these future players a new insight on first team plays. Traveling with the first team, the reserves played their games preliminary to the main tilts. They played an eight game schedule and broke even by winning four and losing four. Grand Island handed the Lexington boys their first defeat of the season, and then Gothenburg defeated them 14-8. In the next game the reserves played top-notch ball and trimmed Holdrege. Kearney nosed out the Lexington lads 12-10 in a thriller. Cozad rang up a victory over the home boys in a close game. Lexington trounced the North Platte second team and then they declared revenge against the Gothenburg Swedes and thus took them into camp. The last game was played with Cozad on the home maples. After tying at the half 4-4, the junior Minute Men pulled through to win by a 2-point margin. RECORD Grand Island , . ,,...,,,, 27 15 ,ttw,t,.

Resume of 1935 Tracle Meets The 1935 track season was quite successful with many men reporting and 20 men lettering. The boys had meets between Kearney, Holdrege and Overton, and they also competed in the Hastings relays, where they took third. Lexington lost a dual meet to North Platte and then walked away with a 72-49 victory against Cozad. In the Southwest Conference Meet at North Platte, the Minute Men were rather poorly represented in all events and failed to make much of a showing except in the mile. DeFruiter, crack Lexington miler, broke the conference record. The record was formerly held by Bernard Ransdell, also of Lexington. Bolfs new record was 4151.9 which was very good time for the shape of the track. Coach Kiffin also took a group of boys to the State Meet last year. DeFruiter won a second place in the mile with the remarkable high school time of 4:43.2. 1935 LETTERMEN ROBERT DEFRUITER--Lettered in the mile, 220, 440, 100 yard dash.

Ten lettermen were back and a host of other promising tracksters reported for practice. The lettermen were: Wayne Roudebaugh, Wayne Dill, Bob DeFruiter, Darrell Naff- ziger, Leon Simon, George Lockard, Merle Morgan, Manuel Rivera, and Delbert Breden- kamp. Coach Russell Dills took a relay team to Hastings to compete in the Hastings relays against twenty-five other Nebraska High Schools. The Minute Men took second place. Lexington was ahead until the last lap when North Platte forged ahead to take first. The relay team was composed of Delbert Bredenkamp, Paul Adams, Robert DeFruiter, and Darrell Naffziger. A dual meet between Lexington and Gothenburg resulted in an ll-point victory for Gothenburg. Some of the boys showed real ability and there should be some new records established this year. Paul Zook, promising pole vaulter, had the misfortune of breaking his knee at this meet. At the Gothenburg relays the Minute Men failed to make much of a showing because of the stronger North Platte and Gothenburg teams.

It has planned and carried out many successful rallies during the year-not only preceding football games but also for the basketball games. At these rallies members of the team were frequent- ly called upon to give their ideas of the coming game. Y' Q, i A Loyal students and faculty fans and older followers 5. O of the Minute Men were also invited to make speeches--thus cheering the team on to do its very V best for the Orange and Blaclc. Due to the enthusiastic spirit and loyalty of the members of the Spiz, and to the hearty support given them by the student body, the Minute Men were encouraged to many victories. Miss Burnworth and Miss Robinson are deserving of much credit, for it was due to their untiring efforts, that the Spiz could close this year with such good records. Qnly peppy up and coming students are elected to this organization and anyone who is chosen as a member may well be proud of the honor. Page 40 Q I . ,,,, President Vice-President ..

Their tone, quality, blend, and excellent audition of selections made them much in demand. A repertoire of twenty numbers was well established. Wliile six altos, one second soprano, and five first sopranos will be lost by graduation, there is sufficient nucleus left around which to build another fine club next year. This will be augmented by several voices from the beginning club. This organization participated in each of the Sunday afternoon vesper services which were given in December, February, April and May. Together with the Boys' Glee Club they presented the operetta, Enchanted lslen on the nfght of January 23. On music night they appeared on the program singing their two contest numbers, The Lilacs Are In Blooml' by Freharne and Pilgrim's Chorusn by Wagner. Members of the girls, sextette were Florence Corl and Ruth Warnemtinde, soprano, Ruth Knuth and Janice Farley, mezzo-soprano, and Ruth Haworth and Cleora Cooper, alto. They sang Venetian Love Songl' by Nevin and 'twill Ol The Wfispu by Spross for their contest numbers. Florence Corl, Cleora Cooper, Ruth Knuth and Ruth Haworth were also members of the mixed double quartet. Florence Corl and Ruth Knuth rehearsed solos for the music contest in April. Their selections were None But the Lonely Heart by Tchailcovslcy and Dawn', by Curran. Phyllis Crawford served as accompanist for the club and Mr. E. E. Ewing as director. Page 42 Boys, Glee Cluh The Boys, Glee Cluh consisted of twenty-two voices this year. This organization was represented in all the vesper services, music night and the operetta, Enchanted Islef, A repertoire comprising twelve four-part selections was sung hy an exceptional hass and adequate tenor section. Four memhers only are lost hy graduation, two first hass and two second hass, so everything points toward an even hetter cluh for next year. This or- ganization has heen a favorite with audiences, and rightly so. The music contest selections rehearsed hy the cluh were Marcin Night hy Kreutzer and Winter Songn hy Bullard. A hoys' quartet was organized with the following memhers, first tenor, Lawrence Fagot, second tenor, Keith Wycoff, first hass, Darrel Peters and second hass, Harold Bacon. The selections rehearsed hy the quartet were The Sun Goes Downv hy Flagler and Spoolcs,, hy Wilson. Lawrence Fagot, Gerhardt Kopf, Harold Bacon and Darrel Peters were memhers of the mixed douhle quartet. Carmena,, hy Wilson and The Pedlarn hy Dicks were the con- test numhers of this group. Gerhardt Kopf was the tenor solist. His song for the music contest was an English air, Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes, Darrel Peters, as haritone soloist, chose two selections, Duna,' hy McGill and 'QTally Ho hy Leoni. Much credit is due to Phyllis Crawford, the accompanist, and Everett E. Ewing, the director. Hack Row-Nlilton Buchholz, Robert Hars'ey'. Vernon French. james Burr. Byron Waller. Darrel Peters.

Not only has the role of the senior band increased to fifty-five members, but a junior band having twenty-four members has been organized, progressive to the senior band. The band and three instrumental soloists rated Superior,, at the District contest at Grand Island, Nebraska, March, 1935. The band also attended the state music contest at Lincoln, May, 1935. The school chartered a bus for the trip.

In order to make the Lexington High School orchestra better, Mr. E. E. Ewing, the director, divided the orchestra into groups, each group having a separate period each week for additional training. Mr. Ewing conducted only the group practices during the first semester, and the orchestra was not organized until January 29. The violin section had the regular orchestra period for practice. There were twenty-nine members in the orchestra including eleven violins, three clar- inets, two flutes, two cornets, two trombones, two French horns, two saxophones, one oboe, one alto clarinet, one bass clarinet, one tuba, the bass viol, and kettle drums. If an orchestra, in the true sense of the word, is to be developed, more than one-half of the instruments should be strings, not just violins, but violas, cellos, and string basses. Otherwise the organization is classed as a band. A student contemplating the study of a stringed instrument should ask himself these questions: Have I any innate musical ability? ls my ear keen enough to warrant the study of the instrument? Can I afford to study privately with a good instructor? At least twenty students each year should take up the study of a stringed instrument if a worth while orchestra is to be developed.

N '1 -1 1i1C Nui ldarm The Barton family, consisting of Willie, a most ambitious young chap who yearns to be a film director, his married sister, Pauline, who is ambitious to become a movie star, and their mother the patient though frequently tried member of the group, carry on most of the plot and action of the comedy. Pauline's husband who has sold a grocery store in Newark, New Jersey, for thirty thousand dollars with the intentions of buying a nut farm in California, is more or less in the center of the plot, for it is his money that enables Pauline to get a chance to be a star. Poor Hubby Robert! By the time a slick film producer, an effeminate scenario writer, a bored leading man, his own wife, and his brother-in-law get through with that thirty thousand, all Bob has left is a memory and not a happy one. Fortunately, Willie saves the day by a cute little bit of movie magic and everything ends happily. Miicli credit goes to Miss Beadle, for through her fine coaching was due the success of this senior play.

The Flame Mystery, comedy, romance, and excitement were the main features of the junior class play, The Gold Flamev, presented Thursday evening, December 5, under the direction of Mrs. E. E. Ewing. Leading the comedy element was Jim Burr, who showed considerable ability in interpret- ing his role as the debonair lawyer, james I-lobby. Ruth Knuth, playing the part of Glad, was a convincing portrayal of a charming girl. Betty Weaver, as Helen Linden, played with ease the part of a flirt, but finally she, too, fell in love. The aunt, Mrs. Cornwall Dane, a society woman, was played by Maxine Fagot, who did a good piece of work. Darrell Peters played an uncanny part disguised as an Italian woman, Antoine Poiret, while Byron Waller showed skill in portraying the part of a Wall Street man, Alden Boyd. Leon Simon took the part of John Blake, Glad's lover. Victor Quitmeyer, in a double role of butler and detective, gave a creditable interpre- tation in both instances. Vernon French as Kent Reber, and Donald Schrack as Jules Kanson, showed skill in establishing themselves as crooks. Betty Hume and Ruth Wallace displayed beautiful clothes as models. Page 52 The Enchanted Isle On the night of January 23rd the combined glee clubs, under the direction of Everett E. Ewing, presented The Enchanted Islef' by Ira B. Wilson, an operetta with music based entirely upon Chopin melodies. The scenic design, lighting effects, colorful costumes, plus the excellent work of the principal characters and the chorus, made this easily one of the outstanding productions of the year. In 1836, Chopin, in ill health, visits the Island of Mallasca, in the Mediterranean Sea. I-Ie discovers that Elena Gomez, a young village maiden, is the possessor of an unusual voice, and induces her to study with him that she may later go to Paris and become a famous singer. Elena becomes infatuated with Chopin and her music, and forsakes her childhood sweetheart, Ramon. Chopin soon realizes that her simple life can never qualify her for the one as a singer and tells her that he is not going to take her to Paris. Elena is heart-broken but when Ramon declares his intention of leaving the island at the same time Chopin does she is brought to realize that her happiness is there with him. The four-part singing of the chorus was exceptional throughout, and Elena's 'eCastles of Sand,', Ramon's 'QIf I Could Make Dreams Come Truef' their duet In My I-Ieart a Song and the trio numbers Once Upon a Summer's Day and Sweet Day were par- ticularly well received by an enthusiastic audience.

Page 63 headed, and always winning tobacco spitting Joselyn Grasshoppers tangled on the alfalfa turf with the Dill-pickle men of Lexington. After trailing by a basket for three rounds, the Dill-pickles soured and squirted vinegar into the Hoppers eyes to win 1-2, and break the 200,000 year jinx of the local skillet- gridiron. The first quarter lasted for 2 hours, as the Joselyn boys took time out for lunch. Grubworm, famous fullback of the Hoppers, scored the only homerun of the Sunday in the last seconds when he ran the mile in 51:27:18. The second canto was a different story with the Pickle-men of Lexington taking out time for a drink and spilled the water on the field, After fanning the diamond for 3 hours it was dry enough to resume play and the half ended with a set-up underway for the Lexington team. Starting the second half with the sweet pickles in for the home team, they gained on the hurdles and passed over for the extra point that tied up the score 1-1. The aged pickles were sent back in the fourth quarter and because of the Grass- hoppers running out of tobacco, the ace of the Lexington team, Mason Jar, shot the puck over for a two bagger and won the fray 3-1. Brass Lid and Corky Legs were the out- standing players on the line and Cealed Tight played a magnificent game as for- ward in the blackfield.

ORIGINAL POEM Married couple Love terrific No quarrels, Union Pacific CLEO'S PATTER By Mark and Tony Some men burn their candles at both ends in order to make both ends meet. No matter how low the dollar may fall, it will never fall so low that some people will not stoop to get it. If you are quick, you are fast. If you are tied, you are fast. If you spend too much money, you are fast. And if you quit eating, you fast. A rainbow seen from an airplane is in the form of a full circle. There are no trees on the island of Iceland. Men in the United States marry at an average age of a little over twenty-seven and a half years. Blood courses through the veins of a human body at the fate of about seven miles an hour. When you reach the end of this sentence, you will be about one-half mile east of the spot you occupied when you began reading, During the same period, the earth not only turned one- half mile on its axis, but traveled about thirty miles along its annual course around the sun. A woman isn't really a good cook because she roasts hcr neighbors. You can't push yourself ahead by patting yourself on the back. A maidenls love is like spring. She gives that come-hither look, and the sap begins to run. First write down your telephone number, double it, add 5, then multiply the whole by 50, to this add your age, then add 365, from this total deduct 615. The total you have then will be first your telephone number, then your age. Heading in school newspaper: School Board Served on New Dishes. It is too bad that we are not as great as we sometimes feel. Breathes there a man with a soul so dead, who to himself hath never said, as he stubbed his toe on the end of a bed: 'fQD!!--Bc G-rar--? I--fS?!'f'!x-.U A mistake is all right if you can make it worth all it cost you. History shows that women's sphere has constantly widened, but many of them are trying to reduce. A square inch of human scalp contains about 744 hairs. When a man is mad, we call him red, when he is a. coward, we call him yellowg when he is straight, we call him white, when he is loyal, we call him true blue, when he is ignorant, we call him colorless. Many girls are dyeing to find out if gentlemen really prefer blondes. HOUSEHOLD HINTS There are several ways of using baked ham. One of the best is to eat it. Honey may be used for sweetening almost anything but a traffic cop. Spaghetti should not be cooked too long. About ten inches is right. A cold bath will be found more pleasant if made with hot water.
