Litchfield High School - Trojan Yearbook (Litchfield, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1966 volume:

Foreword Gathered within these pages are treasured memo- ries of classmates, teachers, activities, and all that has been a part of our school life at Litchfield High School. The publication of this annual has been a chal- lenge to us. It has required the cooperation of our spon- sor, staff, students, and those who have so generously contributed their support through advertisements. Our thanks go to everyone who has helped us. We hope this publication will be one of your most cherished possessions. The Annual Staff In Memoriam In memory of Patricia Laing, English teacher in Litchfield High School for the past one and one- half years, the senior class respectfully dedicates this annual. Mrs. Laing was more than a teacher. She was our friend. Because of our association with her, we shall become better men and women by upholding the ideals for which she stood. The untimely and tragic death of one so young leaves its impact on the whole community, where her friends are numbered by her acquaintances. Life is a wonderful question with answers more than one. I implore . . . Falter not. Superintendent My congratulations to the annual staff and sponsor for their commendable efforts in the annual production. It has been my privilege to work with a fine teaching staff and cooperative students and parents, making this a fine year for education. Through this cooperation of all people we will continue with a high degree of educational success. Education is the key word in our present society. The term is used rather in a strict sense of teacher-pupil relationships in many instances but is this really the true meaning of tltc term? What many young people fail to realize is that everyday of their life they will be re- ceiving an education. Their teachers will be many and their classroom will be life it- self. Those who work hard at understanding and mastering the lessons of this school will meet with success in life. Whatever your goal, don’t fail to pass the test of life itself, enjoy it. live it and in some measure leave a mark, like a beacon in the night, that will say you were here and left this to your fellow man.

The three act comedy, The Little Dog Laughed, was directed by Mrs. Laing. Rhonda Brewer was student director. After many weeks of hard work on both the part of our director, Mrs. Laing, and the cast, the play was a great success.

School Employees Class History by Jane Feldman, Melvin Corbin, and Rhonda Brewer. August 27, 1962—The first day of high school. Twenty-one ambitious and talented Fresh- men entered the doors of LHS. After several weeks of confusion, we finally settled down to bells, studies, teachers, and upperclassmen. We elected the officers for the year, before another class tried to step in. The officers elected were as follows: President, Patsy Cronin; Vice-president, Mary Fread; Secretary, Gail Glidden; Treasurer, Carlene Fox; News Reporter, Judy Hladky; Student Council, Don McNeel. Our sponsor that year was Mrs. Lewis. Even though studies were all we had in mind, we found time out to have two class parties. They had to tear us away from our books to go on a hayrack ride with the Sophomores. The second party was a show, The Castaways. We lost Patsy Cronin at the end of that year. Back with just twenty intelligent people, we Sophomores became highly trained in laugh- ing at the Freshmen. Now that we had found out that all work and no play makes the Sopho- mores gray, we decided to get out and have a little fun. This year the officers were as follows: President, Carlene Fox; Vice-president, Connie Siegel; Secretary, Gail Glidden; Treasurer, Rhonda Brewer; News Reporter, Jane Feldman; Student Council, Don McNeel. Our sponsor was Mr. Pedersen. We finally decided that we needed a little money, so for our first money-making project, we sold pens. Someone forgot that class parties existed, so as far as money goes, we did pretty good. We lost Carlene Fox and Roy Schmidt at the end of this year. Would you believe it? Juniors at last!! What a feeling to be upperclassmen. Glen Stevens joined our class just in time to share the fun of the play, the Prom, and everything else con- nected with being upperclassmen. Our officers this year were: President, Mary Fread; Vice- president, Rhonda Brewer; Secretary, Gail Glidden; Treasurer, Jane Feldman; News Reporter, Sherry Hiser; Student Council, Don McNeel; Alternate Student Council, Sherry Engleman. Our sponsors were Mr. Chrisp and Mrs. Beck. After waiting impatiently for several weeks after school started, we received our class rings. The novelty of our new rings had hardly worn off before we became involved in our class play, Grandma’s Best Years . Between everything else we tried to sell Trojan banners. The last part of our Junior year was spent in the planning and decorating for the Prom. In the Misty Moonlight was chosen as the theme of our Prom. The decorations included a fountain in the center of the gym and four columns at one end. Blue and silver streamers covered the walls and ceiling. Janice Slocum and Larry Young were chosen King and Queen. Seniors! With the addition of Daniel Virts we started out the most hectic year of our high school years. Our officers this year were: President, Rhonda Brewer; Vice-president, Melvin Corbin; Secretary, Gail Glidden; Treasurer, Mary Fread; News Reporter, Sherry Hiser; Student Council, Rhonda Brewer; Alternate Student Council, Melvin Corbin. Our sponsors were Mr. Fowler and Mrs. Beck. Our first big event this year was Freshman initiation. Soon after this we tried selling annual ads. Spurred on by the challenge of outdoing the other carloads we all out did each other that day with our selling ability. Next came our pictures--taking them, deciding between proofs, ordering them, finally getting them, and exchanging them. A bake sale was held to raise additional funds for Sneak Day. The Little Dog Laughed was chosen as our class play. Announcements were ordered soon after our play was over. We have the Prom, Sneak Day, Baccalaureate, and last but not least. Commencement to look forward to at the time of this writing. As we look back over these years of high school, we feel that they have been well worth it; glad that they happened, and grateful to everyone who has helped us. We know we will feel real regret as we walk down the worn steps of LHS for the last time. Class Prophecy by Sherry Hiser, Don McNeel, and Connie Siegel I am Madame Zula, the greatest fortune teller that ever lived. Come with me into my chamber of the future and I will reveal what lies ahead for the Seniors of 1966. Now I see a vision. It’s Don McNeel. He has really stepped up in the world ! He is now Dr. McNeel, a well-known professeur de francais, ” at Harvard. Close your eyes. This will make the future come quickly and clearly through the crystal ball. Oh great spirit, let us find out what else is in store for these Seniors. Here is Gail Glidden. I see her in a white uniform. She's one of the greatest nurses in the world. She spends most of her time in underprivileged areas helping the natives. She's now in Africa. Don’t fade away. Let us see more. Quiet! I hear laughing. Oh great spirit, don't laugh at us. Wait! That's not the great spirit’s laugh. It's Trudy Ham- mond. She has won several academy awards as the best giggler. She travels all over to giggle for world leaders. Who is this I see? It's Rosemarie Peterson. She's now the private secretary of the President of the United States. She travels to many countries with the President to pro- mote peace. The ball is turning green. What is it? I see acres of grassland. How could I forget? There's Glen Stevens in a cowboy outfit. He’s one of the largest ranchers in the world. He owns land in areas of Texas, Idaho, and Australia. Connie Siegel is now very happy, I see, by the smile staring back at me. She gave up nursing to act with Phil Brewer on General Hospital. She really enjoys that acting! Oh, there are clouds rolling in. Don't fail me now crystal ball. I’m getting too much money for this job for you to louse it up. I can always use you for a fishbowl. The clouds are lifting. There's Rhonda Brewer, the pediatric assistant. I know what the clouds are. They are clouds of dust as she speeds around corners giving driving lessons in her spare time. Let me see further into the future. There’s Sherry Engleman. She gave up popular singing to join the WACS. She has a man in every port, if she can only see them--contacts you know. A face is staring at me. I see Sherry Hiser singing in a coffee house in Greenwich Village. As a sideline each year, she and Sherry Engleman go to Africa for a safari. My crystal ball is clearer. I see Melvin Corbin as an automated farmer. His only chore is pushing buttons. By doing this, he lives a life of ease. Why are there question marks all over the crystal ball? The answer is coming in view. It's Barbara Grobe. She never decided which college to attend, so she got her Ph. D. from five well-known universities. The crystal ball has turned into a basketball. Why this? Oh, I see. It's Mike Kohls. He’s now one of the funniest and tallest players of the Harlem Globetrotters. As a hobby, he goes to Las Vegas to gamble. Something is eating my crystal ball. What is it? Get away you beasts. These fishbowls cost money! There's Daniel Virts. He's a world-known termite in- spector. He has quite a time with those little animals. They challenge him because they follow him all over. There's Marilyn Vian. She’s married and lives in a cottage near Honolulu. She claims so many exemptions that she never has to pay taxes. Salute, great spirit. Here's Lyle Breiner. Salute, you idiot! He's an Admiral in the U. S. Navy. He and his family have taken several voyages around the world. Now I see a magnified eye. It’s Mary Fread looking through her microscope. She's known as Madame Fread who discovered a cure for cancer. Jane Feldman is still going to school. She's called the professional student. She has her BA., MA., and Ph. D., and she still attends. Just a few more. Don't fail me now. I know this is strain- ing you, but you get half the profit. Dale Krotz is a great cowboy hero. The kids have never heard of Roy Rogers and Trigger. They only know Dale and Dusty. Judy Hladky makes her liv- ing on quiz programs on TV. She's so lucky she has won millions of dollars and a home in Florida. Kathy Tschudin is a famous beautician. Kathleen’s Parlor is in Hollywood. She's the beautician for many of the stars, Connie Siegel being one of them. I see now that the class of '66 will be one of exceptional success! I'm losing the vision! I'm terribly sorry, but the spirits refuse to reveal any more about the class of 1966. Class Will Marilyn Vian and Judy Hladky We, the Senior Class of 1966, being of said sound mind after four years of high school, (which is an accomplishment), do make public and declare this our last will and testament; thereby declaring all former wills null and void. I, Lyle Breiner, will any of the Senior girls to anyone who wants them. Good luck Boys! I, Rhonda Brewer, will my ability to chew gum and get tardy slips in Psychology to Duane Feldman. Now you can learn to count to 500. I, Melvin Corbin, will my ability to stay out of trouble to Huey Martin. It isn't much fun Huey. I, Sherry Engleman, will my glasses to Marvin Wardyn. As long as I won't be using them, somebody might as well. I, Jane Feldman, will my giggles to Bobby Runge. It's a lot of fun Bobby, especially when no one can figure out what's so funny. I, Mary Fread, will my hairdresser to Barb Slocum. Watch out Barb! She's wicked with the scissors! I, Gail Glidden, will my position as Town Librarian to Susan Schwietzer. Have fun spending your first million. I, Barbara Grobe, will my big white bow to Gene Stevens. Now you can wear it and look pretty! I, Trudy Hammond, will my quiet little giggle to Judy Tesmer. Now people will know your real outlook on life. I, Sherry Hiser, will my ability to keep my natural hair color all through high school to Kathy Fread and Virjean Haller. But remember only your hairdresser knows for sure. I, Judy Hladky, will my height to the Litchfield Basketball team. I, Mike Kohls, will my driving ability to Jane McNeel. Be careful Jane! I, Dale Krotz, will my late Saturday nights to anyone who wants them. But, watch it! I, Don McNeel, will all my white socks and clip-on ties to Mr. Sanders. You will look real sporty now, Mr. Sanders. 1, Rosemarie Peterson, will my quiet and civilized ways to Shirley Siegel. Try them, Shirley. I, Connie Siegel, will my out-of-town crushes to Shirley Siegel. Have fun, cuz! I, Glen Stevens, will my boots to Jim Hammond. I, Kathy Tschudin, will my ability to stay in bed until ten after eight and still make it to school on time to my sis, Chris. I've never been tardy! I, Marilyn Vian, will my ability to wash chalkboards to Margie Goodner. It takes all four years to learn how to get them really clean. I, Daniel Virts, will my bass voice to the bass section of the Litchfield High choir, and boys glee. We, the Senior Class, will our reputation as being Seniors to the Juniors. Hope you can live up to it. We will the Sophomores absolutely nothing. We can't decide whether they don't need anything or if they just can't be helped ! To the Freshmen, we will our ability to graduate. To the Faculty, we will the Juniors. It's not much, but see what you can do with them. This will, being duly signed, sealed, soiled, and published, is declared by the Senior Class, as our last will and testament.
