They were on the field every morning at 8 o'clock to brush up on drill marching, We thought the best drill they had was the one that spelled out the words 'Coach foe. Trips out of town usually add spice to school days and the bands journey to Lin- coln was no exception, Band Day in Lincoln added a lot of fun to the school year of events.

Two mem- bers ot the class, Ianet Htwater and Donna Ferguson, had the honor of working on the Daily Nebraskan, Beside meeting old ac- quaintances who were attending the univer- sity, they also saw plays put on by students oi the university. The crowning social event was the dance presented at the Student Union, which they were invited to attend. The junior speech class had its share of amusement provided by speeches given in that class. When a white pig made its ap- pearance with its owner, Myron Bennett, who wanted to give a sales talk on it, they adopted the pig as their pet and class mas- cot. However, besides being entertained by some ot their speeches, they also learned the fundamentals of good speaking by giv- ing banquet speeches and other types of talks that are necessary for public speaking. ln bygone days, education consisted mainly of reading, riting and rithrneticf' but our schooling included many things. Drivers education was a new class that taught students to drive carefully and sane- ly. Pllthough at times we wondered about the saneness ol backing up and down reser- voir hill, as they had to do in order to pass the course. No doubt, this would be quite a feat tor an experienced driver, but even those who were beginning, learned to do this ably and well. We tackle anything is the motto ol these shop boys Iim Hoffman George Smith Lynn De Laet and Hubert Frank Page 18 er the flection H few quiet minutes are appreciated by Mcxine Gibreal, Beryl Botts.

They kept alert and up with the news, for current events and discussions were tied up with the elections. Physical education was another class that was a benefit to all. lt kept everyone physically and mentally fit. In the fall when they played games such as softball and baseball outside, sometimes the air got mighty chilly, but the fun was worth that and more. Later on in the year, volleyball and soccer took up most of their time, ln our classes, we did not neglect to learn the value of a dollar. When the ag boys decided to go to Kansas City for a convention, a way had to be found to earn money to get there. When all of them got together, they capped the idea of selling scrap iron, and made enough money to pay for a trip they all enjoyed. This was one of the many good times they had during the school year. Book week was not forgotten either, judging from the display of new books in our library. Pl Parnassus on Wheels was the theme that our librarian planned for Book Week. The faculty tea, given by our librarians, Miss Qrny Figard and Miss Hazel Shostrom, was another highlight of Book Week.

Despite the cold weather, Coach Ioe Greeno sent his classes outside to keep in shape with exercises and calesthenics. During one ot the Worst blizzzards, students were attending the annual music clinic in Omaha. Because ot snow blocked roads, it was rather uncertain when they could return. However, with little delay, they arrived safely and we welcomed them with open arms. Home economics girls proved their style sense by staging a fashion show. Each girl made and modeled her own dress along with two other outtits. They learned to make unusual Christmas candies and cookies which we willingly sampled. Hide-andeseek was played by Miss Qlta Kiblers senior English classes when they produced their own radio programs, H microphone was set up in Kibbies closet with a loud speaker in the classroom.

Fl new attraction second semester was the addition ot hour dances, This new feature was welcomed by all who were able to at- tend atter school. The girls gym was the scene ot this new activity which was held on Thursday from tour until tive o'clock. Ten cents admission was charged and candy bars were sold. Members of the jour' nalism classes sponsored the dances to raise money tor the Echo. Mrs. Frances Flnderson set up a candy store in her desk with left over candy bars from the hour dances. ln this manner, the Echo made money and students were able to replenish used up energy after school. Hn emergency gas tank was needed in the middle of the winter for heating pur- poses. Welding classes received some prac- tical experience by welding the tank to- gether. Now we are assured of always having warrn classrooms. When basketball season rolled around, the woodwork classes donated the roster board to the basketball squad, The board nas the name oi every player on both teams and his number, along with the name ol the coach and the school colors.

The Christmas season brought many un- usual activities to classes. German and Latin classes designed their own Christmas cards, including pictures and verses. The classes, une der the direction ot Miss Qlta Kirsch, sang carols in Latin and German. H German boy was adopted by the sixth period class. They each sent him a Christmas 'wish and a box of food. Many letters were exchanged and the class became Well acquainted with the life of the German boy. Christmas tree ornaments of geometric form were made by Miss Helen Ogle's classes. Flll shapes of triangles, octagons and rectangles appeared on the small tree in her room. Machining shafts is what Fred Iacobsen. Harvey Hltmaier. Marvin Kegley, Kenneth Hebb and Earl Packer are doing with those interesting looking machines. 'lloy to the World and many other carols were heard ringing through the halls as the chorus sang before class in the morning. The ottice played many carols on record, which made everyone feel the Christmas spirit. liWriting letters is something everyone should know, said Miss Hlice Parsons, sopho- more English instructor, Her pupils learned how to Write business letters, friendly letters, thank-you notes and sympathy letters, Every- one in the class thought he benefited from this unit which is definitely needed in everyday life.

Eventually, though, the snow melted, we began to count robins for luck and as we watched the T and l workers going to their jobs, how we envied them because they were out in such balmy spring weather, while the rest ot us remained in school. Reading was just another chore to be done during those short spring days, but school still came tirst, so the faithful English students read and read tor their monthly book reports. Ot course, it was a coinci- dence that the shortest and thinnest books became so popular. Pls roller skates and tootballs came out ot the closets, our little brothers and sisters came home with bleeding noses, black eyes and skinned knees. Undaunted, the home ec girls immediately applied first-aid to the wounds. They knew just what to do be- cause they were taking a course in home nursing. We all knew the shortest distance be- tween two points, but the geometry students had a new slant on this old principle. They decided the longest possible distance be- tween two points was the time from the tirst day of spring until the last day ot school. Eagerly we awaited the distribution ol Fantasia because there we could see our own creative writings in print. Pls tast as the journalism statt read and sorted the entries tor the magazine, the secretarial training class typed the material and pre- pared it for printing.

P9 While we watched the physical education boys play touch football, we knew that the girls were inside, industriously practicing dance steps. For with the coming of spring, it was time once more to start work on the May Pete. We were hosts to the Music Clinic this spring and arrangements lor housing, pro- grams and entertainment really kept the music department busy. Learning to spell one hundred Words from each class was the task of every student, Studying these words was also another chore as we longed to be outside in the crisp, clean air, Qs we vainly tried to master the spelling of hermiptera tor biology or calisthenics for phys ed, our minds kept wandering to how much fun a hike out to the Platte would be or how good an ice cream cone would taste.

We all longed to have a class where, on a warm spring day, we could just get into our cars and drive out into the country. Now we know that it you desire a class ot this type, all you need to do is sign up lor ag, This spring, we saw the ag boys driving ground the country side judging crops and cattle and learning how to become Pl-l farmers. May l help you? asked the members ot the salesmanship classes to each other as they learned the right and wrong way to approach a customer. Then upon completing the sale, they learned by experience how to wrap the sale neatly and give it to the customer. This was another class where the members got to be out in the spring air because they went to different stores and observed the sales persons actually at work. Were Cloud fn ?aa7or o Weld Tri A Vllorks of great writers such as Pearl S, Buck, Sinclair Lewis, lchn Steinbeck, and Stephen Benet came to light as the junior Engf lish classes delved into the fascinating study of Flmerican literature. Qnother eagerly awaited event was the dee clamatory contest held in Grand lsland thzs spring, Trying to memorize lines for orations, and dramatic and humorous reading proved to be quite a task for those who entered, but winning an excellent or superior rating made the effort well worth while. ln anticipation of the many gifts they would receive for graduation, the senior English stu- dents learned the fundamentals of writing thank-you notes, They also prepared to have a large audience at their commencement exercises, for they learned the proper way to write invitations. The journalists eagerly looked forward to the one day that they could work on a real newspaper, On the long awaited day, they hustled busily around town as they edited the l-lub. For this Mclean up the city edition, the pusy youngsters sold ads, wrote copy, and typed their stories. Studying for a T and I test are Bonnie Wise. Frances Slack.

By dividing both boys and girls into guar' tets, octets, sextets and trios, they had a chance to learn to sing together in small groups. ln these small groups, each person had to sing in tune and by practicing and working hard together, they developed and broadened their singing abilities. The small groups were composed ol song- sters from the sophomore, junior and senior classes. Putting their talents to good use, they sang in such programs as the Musicalia, music con- test, junior assembly, exchange convocations, other assemblies and provided entertainment lor many affairs. Traveling to music clinic they received their share of honors and awards with their small group performances. Mechanical drawings are made by Iohn Lowe, Weldon Hart, Bill Maeder and Glen Spangsberg.

Rehearsals ot the full orchestra, under di- rection ot Mr. George Peterson, met first period every Tuesday and Thursday morning. On Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, Mr. Peter- son worked with the string members of the group While the brass and Woodwinds prac- ticed with the band. This daily practice prepared those who at- tended the annual state music Clinic in Omaha, tor the hard grind they received there. We are very proud of Eugene Cerny, who was concert master of the clinic orchestra. Others who attended include Darlene Bell Bonnie Steele, Edith Baldwin and Io Hnri Mundortf. The highlight of the year was the mid-winter concert. We worked on many numbers ot various types. Fiddle Faddl e was a favorite of all. H new attraction in l949 was the Opera- Operetta Time . Both the chorus and orches- tra participated under the direction of Mr. Peterson. They performed Rose Marie , Porgy and Bess , and Carmen , The orchestra made their final appearance of the season at the district music contest in Hpril. They worked hard making their goal a superior in the judge's eye.

Page 31 land lllem6er Fra Med lllulfic or 11 Marching, practicing and giving concerts made the year's calendar for the bands ac- tivities. Nearly every morning during football sea- son, band members met at the high school field to practice the drills to be used during the half of the next game. One stunt featured the formation of Coach loe with hats spell- ing out the 'lloe while the personnel played For l-le's a lolly Good Fellow. Plnother drill represented a football game. Divisions of the band started at each end of the field, meeting in the center to represent the kick-off. They combined to form the letter signifying the Bearcats as the conqueror. Tom Morgan performed the duties of drum major. Dwyla Guthrie, Thelma Qden, Betty Urness, Barbara McGowan and Pat Case were baton twirlers. Several times the band was called upon to march in various civic parades. Ht Christmas time they marched in their uniforms at the Santa Claus parade during the coldest weather, They participated in KSTC Band Day and were guests of the University of Nebraska at their Band Day. ln November, we were represented at the annual music clinic in Omaha by Ronald Peister, French horn, Marcia Munson, clarinet, and Eugenia Carns, flute. They practiced for three days with Professor Hlvin Edgar who is director of bands at lowa State College and was guest conductor of the clinic band for l948. Everyone returned with a feeling they nad acquired a knowledge that they would not otherwise have received. Different types of music offer variety and avoid monotony. Band members were aware of this because they certainly had opportuni- ties to play a variety of music. Everyone en- joyed the swing and classics that were prac- ticed. The mellow chords and harmonies of l'Erom the South, Marcho Poco, Headlines and many others inspired them to work hard along with hard working Mr. Hlbert I-lodges. When basketball season arrived, the cheer- leaders requested a pep band. So Mr. Hodges divided the band into sections that took turns playing at home games. lo Finn Mundorff was elected to serve as student director and she led the band during basketball games. While the sounds were not always as harmonious as in a concert, the pep band kept up the spirits even when we were losing. The midewinter concert held late in Feb- ruary was the highlight of the year. H flute duet with band accompaniment featured the program. IoFlnn Muridortt and Eugenia Carns were the soloists Some ot the selections played by the band were 'Finiculi Finiculaw and 'Yankee Doodlefl The climax ot the band season was the dis- trict music contest held in Kearney this year, The band director, Mr, Hodges, and meme bers worked earnestly in 194849 to make their band the best in the district, Band members are: Harold Plllen, Eugenia Carns, Edith Corniord, lack Davis, lflllan Gallup, Bill Giesler, Dwila Guthrie, Elizabeth Harrison, Beverly Hendrix, Lois lane Howe, Leon Kahle, Bill Kalous, Kenny Kolscheen, Bill Lancaster, Betty Lewis, Mariorie Lewis, Gaylon Mason, lack Mastin, Delores McConnel, Karen McCord, Marilyn Mclntire, lo Hnn Mundortf, Bob Munro, Marcia Munson, lackie Parker, Bonald Piester, Eldon Bieter, Doralene Robbins, Phyllis Thompson, Don Treadway, Marjorie Turner, Betty Urness, Dale Wagner, Carl Weber, Merlon Weed, David Weeks, Minette Yanney, Marlene Pllcorn, Bob Banning, Kathf leen Kappas, Fred Kemp, Patty Martin, Hllen Morris, lane Munro, Larry Poftenberger, Ioe Poynter, Pllbert Stover, Dick Triplett, Roger Warlock, Mike Yanney, Bill Merryman. .it -fix Hdding spice to the basketball games were the members of the pep band directed by student director.

To the members ot this club, singing was the all important topic. The girls in the glee club sang sweetly and harmoniously for many programs. Trying something new in the way ot enter- tainment, the glee club presented a radio program of Christmas carols in December over station KGFW. Providing entertainment again, the glee club will also sing for the commence- ment service. The girls in this club received their share of honors when they sang in the music contest which was held in Kearney. Under the direction ot their leader, Mr. George Peterson, these girls learned all the rules of harmonious singing and pleased everyone with their fine programs.

Under the direction of Mr, George Peterson, they sang varied songs, and were on the Christmas radio program, the commencement service, and participated in the music clinic. Working hard on their music, the members ot the boys glee club learned that harmony and rhythm went hand in hand to produce contemporary music, and whether swing or classic, the product had to be good. Members of the glee club also divided into small groups and had the opportunity of sing- ing in trios, quartets, sextets, and octets. Pls they worked together, these boys learned to appreciate the beauty of music and they learned to sing well together. Members of boys glee include-di Dewaine Pllcorn, lim Ball, Myron Bennett, Leroy Carlson, Robert Clark, lack Davis, Hubert Frenk, Bill Giesler, Laurence Gill, Charles Hayward, George Hayward, Charles Hough, Tom Mor- gan, Roland Murrish, Harry Rapp, Vincent Robinson, Sidney Sheldon, Teddy Thinnes, Harry Wallace, Plltred Warner, Melvin Wattles, Stan Wimberly, lohn Worlock, and Gerald York.

Peterson, they presented the annual Musicalia in November and received much applause for their fine show. In Feb- ruary, they again gave an excellent perform- ance in their spring concert entitled Opera- Operetta Time. The annual Music Clinic, held this year in Omaha, was an event that will hold many memories for those who attended. There, mem- bers chosen from the chorus had a chance to sing under the direction of Lara Haggard, di- rector ot the Fred Waring chorus. Hwards and honors were also earned by the chorus at the music contest which was held in Kearney. To find housing for all the people who attended the contest was quite a job, but it was worth all the trouble for the en- ioyrnent they received. This year the chorus also traveled to Hastings and Grand Island to put on exchange assembly programs. Personnel of the chorus includes: Ianet Qt- water, Hrletta Von Behren, Marcele Von Behren, Lois Biber, ldora Bickel, Lois Bissel, Page 37 Betty Bowen, Betty Bragg, Doris Callen, Sara Campbell, Ruth I-'inn Carns, Pat Cavenee, Hnne Christensen, Patti Christensen, Ioyce Clayton, laneen Donaly, Margaret Dryden, Marilyn Eck, Carol Erickson, Carolyn Fales, Marilyn Gard, Maxine Gibreal, Pat Gillespie, Norma Gillming, Elvera Guenther, Hnna Marie Hansberry, Gwen Hansberry, Nadine Hardin, Beverly Hendrix, Sue Holmes, leanette lbsen, Marilyn Iohnson Twyla Iordcn, ludy Kemp, Lola Ker- wood, Edith Koeppe, Mary Finn Korslund, Marilyn Landis, Kay Lintz, Karen McCord, Delores McDowell, Marilyn Mclntire, Peggy McKibbon, Margaret Manthe, Norma Moser, Norene Maw, lackie Miller, Lois Miller, loHnne Mullowney, Ginger Nye, Nancy Randall, llla Mae Rasmussen, Doralene Robbins, Mario Sandberg, Peggy Sartin, Shirley Sazatfroth, Finn Skold, loan Smallcomb, Pat Snider, Margie Snyder, laclcie Swain, lane Tcole, lean Toole, Darlene Triplett, Betty Urness, Flnna Marie Whalen, Mary Helen Wright, Beverly Yingling, Barbara York, Dewaine Hlcarn limmy Ball, Robert Clark, lack Davis, Hubert Frank, Charles Hayward, Ceorae Hayward, Charles Hough, Laurence Gill, Tom Morcan, Roland Murrish, Harry Rapp, Sidney Sheldon, Teddy Thinnes, Melvin Wattles, Qllred War:er, Stan Wimberly and lohn Worlcck.

The Student Hdvisory Board managed the affairs ot the school. Plny crisis that arose, they met and solved skillfully, Representatives on the SQB Worked on various committees to help school activities function properly, The SQB also sponsored dances tor the ene tertainment of the students, Everyone had a super time at the ' Hobo Dance sponsored by them on Halloween. Qt the football games they sold K flowers which they had made themselves out of real chrysanthemums. They also went in with the Bearcat Boosters and sold hot dogs, coffee, and apples at the games. They brought Christmas to the halls of Kear- ney High by decorating a tree in the front hall. Punching activity tickets at basketball games and the election of officers were other business affairs that were handled by them. While these students were managing the problems of the school, they were learning how to become leaders and good citizens of tomorrow. w Performing one of the tasks of SHB mem- bers are Pat Snider and Marilyn Burton who are taking tickets at a basketball game.

The K Club, which was first formed this past year, has developed into a large and popular organization. lts purpose is to promote friend- liness and better understanding among high schools, The members of this club organized under the direction of Mr. loe Greeno, who ably as- sisted them in preparing a constitution and in carrying out the club's activities. The officers of the K Club as chosen by the members include: H1 Wiegand, president, Vin- cent Robinson, vice-president, lack Wagner, secretary, and Iohn Lowe, treasurer. These officers led the club efficiently and capably in their varied activities. Throughout the year, the K Club sponsored numerous projects. Hmong these were selling refreshments at the boxing matches, publish- ing programs for the basketball games, and other ventures to procure funds for their ex- penses. H school dance, promoted by the club, provided entertainment and enjoyment for all of us who attended. This was their only social affair of the year. Due to the many projects undertaken by the K Club, and its success in accomplishing them, the club has grown in prestige and strength, to become one of the more powerful organizations of the school. They Yound litany 117494 to fa:-n money The requirements for becoming a member of the K Club are that the boys must have earned a varsity letter in either football, bas- ketball, boxing, or track. Hll of the previously named activities are considered maior sports. ln the past anyone was allowed to wear a letter, regardless of the sport the individual had won his award in. fllll this is to be changed, because standardized letters will be designated for the four major sports. Girls will be required to have G99 stamped on the letters which they wear. The club promotes better sportsmanship and good will between the schools by sending letf ters following each game complimenting the opposing team on conduct during the contest, This years organization faced a large debt from the beginning, but by displaying great enthusiasm and determination, the boys paid the deficit and are now well off financially. The K Club meets twice every month, with their sponsor in the Manual Plrts building dur- ing the period regularly designated for activi- ties. Flt these meetings, the boys discuss vari- ous problems, athletic events, and other matters of interest to the boys in general. The Discussing plans for their next meeting are K Club officers H1 Wiegand. Vince Robinson and Iohn Lowe. promotions of the club are carried out by com- mittees appointed by the officers. These com- mittees sell ads for programs, arrange dances, and provide refreshments. Plfter its first year of activity the K Club has become an outstanding success.

Smarter and Smootlne Wu af Ee I Motto Members of this organization really applied the name of their club to practical use and learned to be smarter and smoother. Hs they experimented on each other with hair styles, makeup and good grooming in general, they found that beauty is a combination of many Egg, things. Their school calendar was packed with lots of events. The Queen for a Day banquet they had to honor their mothers was the first of this kind to be held. This banquet was held Ian- uary 27 and judging from the big reception it received, it will probably become an annual custom. Hlthough their parties provided fun for all, it was the little affairs that made every club meeting seem exciting. One of the times they remember most was the talks given by Pow- ers Models, represented by some of the girls Seated at the speakers table at the Smarter in Smsffef cmd smoother' and Smoother banquet are Barbara York, Mrs. Cecil Wright, Mary Helen Wright.

Those who entered Quill and Scroll worked on the annual and the Echo and met the requirement of writing ZOO inches of printed material. Qf course, the event that all aspiring members looked forward to was the banquet and initiation given in the spring by members of Quill and Scroll. Hnd after going through that ghastly initiation, they felt that they should really be honorary journalists. With the help of their sponsor, Mrs. Frances Qnderson, they worked dili- gently to become good journalists, and a number of their members planned careers in the Fourth Estate. Quill and Scroll members held their annual banquet in the spring and when the initiation ceremony was over, new members of the organization re- ceived their gold key membership pins which signified that they belonged, at last, to the journalism society.

Page 53 Dining on pheasant are these FFR members and their guests at the annual fun feed. The meeting will please come to order. says presi- dent Lynn DeLaet at one of the FFH business meetings. Learning to become top notch farm- ers of tomorrow were the members of the Future Farmers of Hmerica. But while they were learning ways of im- proving farms and the lalest methods of scientific farming under the super- vision of their sponsor, Mr. Chalmers Cromer, they were having fun, too. Ht the first of the year, they had their green-hand initiation when all new members were initiated. Hfter that they had a watermelon bust. Eighteen boys from the Kearney chapter at- tended the national FFH convention at Kansas City. Later in the fall they had a 'wiener roast and hayrack ride. Delicious pheasant and other mouth- watering foods highlighted the annual FFH Fun Feed which was held De- cember 2. Their parents, teachers, and other special guests were brought to the fun feed. The officers for this year were: presi- dent, Lynn DeLaet, vice-president, Gerald Trampe, treasurer, Harvey il 'P We Saw Item Harris, and secretary, Dean Beazley. Harold May was the news reporter and Gordon Muller served as sentinel. Entering contests became a habit of the boys in FFQ. They also did their share of winning these contests. Roland Murrish won a purebred Hampshire gilt as first place Winner in the individual swine judging con- test. By eradicating ZOO acres of bind- weed and repairing farm buildings, Lynn DeLaet won the betterment projects contest. These 'were two of the boys who represented the Kearney chapter at the District FFH contest. Hnother phase of their activities was public speaking. Hlvin Babb won the local contest and was sent to the dis- trict contest. Collecting scrap metal around the community was another of their activities and their goal was lO tons of metal. Sports were not forgotten either by these energetic lads as they had a basketball team competing in the in- tra-mural basketball tournament. With spring came softball and they organ- ized a softball team. These Future Farmers of Plmerica were truly active in an organization that was to benefit them in their chosen careers. They learned the latest, and most modern methods of farming and saw their national motto Earning while learning come true. Proving to be most skillful at handling a tractor was Marvin Deaver who won the local tractor driving contest. Page 54 far-n While Z arning --Q J These were the members of FFA.

Budding young scientists experimented with squirming rats and smelly chemicals in Science Club while their sponsor, Mr, Lou Ninegar looked on. lt was in this club that the iiendish idea of making a bomb originated. Gun cotton Was also made by these diabolical plotters. Experiments of a more serious nature were carried on, too. One involved the dissecting of white rats which they had infected with cancer so that they could examine cancerous tissue. Many chemical experiments were tried. Methods of analysis were also studied and ultrasonics were discussed at several meetings. While the members oi Science Club were enjoying them- selves, they were learning. ? fe. ,Ni Radio enthusiasts under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Davidson are Tom Morgan, Wallace lohnson. Faye Brown, Iackie Swain, Louis Held, Leon Kahle and Betty Bragg. Their Nctivitie Were Work hop Radio intrigued the members of Radio Club as they learned about the various phases of producing a program. By making recordings of their voices they found out if they had the desired resonance for a radio announcer. They also learned how to pronounce words correctly and enunciate clearly. Rcting out radio shows thrilled the members as they took the parts of various characters. They learned not only how to dramatize radio scripts but how to write them as well. Gathering news for school pro- grams was part of their activity, too, While they learned, they dreamed of the day when they might have a radio show of their own Crafts Club provided an outlet for the creative ability of many boys, They chose the projects that they wished to work on during the year, Under the supervision of Mr. Robert Cole, they learned to operate the machines in shop with skill. With this skill, their plans and ideas became a reality Hlthough the activity periods were short, they worked hard and completed such projects as end tables, book ends and lamps. Much satisfaction was gained from the completed progects which they kept for themselves or gave to others. Through Crafts Club they acauired a knowledge that would be of value through the years.

We might add that we have seen the mighty photographers with their shutter boxes, taking pictures of school events and daily activities, either for the Echo, the Log, or maybe just tor their snapshot books. Mr. Vernon Plnderson, the sponsor ot the club, has indeed done a great deal tor the club members by helping them make the new dark room. The students have also been busy during the winter and spring on their trips out to the Platte river and l-larmon Park. These excursions proved to be educational and a lot ot fun. The pictures they took while in Photo Club will surely bring back wonderful memories of their high school life. .a .,,- T L W-ww..-.........,,, 1 -v-. ....,,,,,.-Q-in ..,,--Q-8 wmbh Posing for her fellow photographers is Ruthylee Norris.

Miss Fllta Kibler, the director of the club, made up the lists of hard-to-iind articles and after the hunt, the weary scaven- gers went into the cafeteria and 'warmed up with some hot chili. Plssisting back-stage in the junior and senior class plays were the students who applied the make-up to the actors and actresses. They also aided in putting up the garden scenery for the senior play. For a variety, the Drama Club listened to operettas and c o m i c al recordings, They worked on one-act plays, which they presented for other members of the club. Concluding the high school year, the stu- dents had a spring party. P il Demonstration ol how to put on make up is given by Dick Graham, Rana Marie 1-lansberry and Iudy Kemp whose victims are Lawrence Gill, Ioan Tools and Betty Lewis. ffl Practicing the fundamental principles of modeling are these Bearcat Booster models tor the style show.

Swimming and Kowling Kept Them Kam, Effects of the GQH slumber party were very much in evidence the Monday after this sleep- less night. Dark circles under the eyes and short tempers were the result of this one night without sleep. The girls explained that the giggling of Marilyn Gard and Gerry Hubers definitely did not make a soothing lullaby. Swimming was also another pastime of these energetic gals. Those who could not swim, enjoyed playing on the kick boards until the boards scooted out from under them. Then we saw them floundering around until they reached shallow water. H new activity this year was ice skating on the pond in the park. The skaters as well as those who didn't skate, anticipated the big chili feed held afterwards in the cafeteria. One of the outstanding events sponsored by GHQ was the annual Barn Dance. The girls really pitched in and worked on the corsages ol this famous slumber party. for their dates and picking a winning corsage proved to be a gigantic task for the judges. Iohn Bancroft and Ianet Htwater were finally declared 'winners Not much sleep but loads of fun was had the night Miss Willa Scudder was the sponsor, as- sisted by Pat Gillespie, president, Marilyn Krumback, vice president, and Delores Rich- ardson, secretary.

Head football coach Ioe Greeno compiled a fine record in his initial season at Kearney High. Hlthough our team Won only 50 per cent of their games, they were always in there playing their hearts out and doing their best to gain victory. We Watched them sweep to four victories in their first five games to estab- lish a fine early season record. During the next 'weeks We saw them lose four of five con- tests as Emil'Kirwan, H1 Wiegand, and lerry Nickel were forced to the sidelines with seri- ous injuries. Our team learned to work to- gether to Win, for they found that as a unit they were unbeatable. They found that though it is fun to win and it's sometimes hard to lose, the win-loss column in the seasons records is not the sole determiner of the seasons success. Hlong with learning football tactics, they learned to work together as a unit, to put the team first and individual play second. Under the watchful eye of Coach Greeno, they were trained not only to win, but to lose, if necessary, like good sports. Yes, though they lost five games and 'won five, the team had a successful season from the standpoint that every boy on the Bearcat squad, whether reserve or varsity, developed both physically and mentally and profited per- sonally trom their experiences on the gridiron. Competitive sports such as football make contestants strong in mind and body. David Barth Dick Bennett We Watched a They Varsity and reserve football squads included the follow- ing boys.

But in the second period, we watched them outplay North Platte completely, while gaining a wide statistical margin. ln the final half, they held the Bulldogs within their own thirty-yard line, as our team drove repeatedly only to be stopped short of the goal line. Midway in the last quarter, a pass from Wiegand to Patsios carried to the two yard line, where Elm plunged over for the winning touchdown. Elm, Patsios, and Wiegand were outstanding. Our team made its second trip of the season when they went to Columbus for an intersec- tional contest wi.h the Discoverers. 'We watched as the team out-fought heavier, but less aggressive Columbus eleven. For the first time they performed as a unit, in com- pletely stopping the home team's attack, and making large gains while on offense, The half time score gave us a seven point lead. ln the final half our team really began to click, two touchdowns and one extra point gave us a 20-U margin of victory. Our team was out' standing as a unit, although left guard Roy Leibee turned in a brilliant game. . . i.,,,.M.nu- For the third consecutive weekend our team was playing in another town. They received the Iioldrege kickfoff and promptly drove 75 yards for a touchdown and extra point. Hi Wiegand and Dick Elm carried the brunt of the attack, with Wiegand scoring. HI also added the point after touchdown. We cheered them as they established a 20-0 halftime lead. Hfter adding another touchdown in the third period, they coasted to a 26-0 win.

The game was played with a crowd of some 5,000 grid fans looking on. They played Well but could not match the Grand Island speed. Qs the first half ended they trailed by a 21-0 margin, In the second half they scored once, but the Islanders countered twice for a 34-7 victory. HI Wiegand played a fine game at both offense and defense. Page 7 Don McKenna Bill Ridgeway Bob Munro Ierry Nickel Plfter suffering our first defeat of the season, we traveled to Lexington to watch our team trample the Minutemen 35-7. The score at the half 'was 14-7, but in the second quarter they did even bet- ter and registered 21 points. Emil Kirwan, game captain, was the outstanding scorer, as he carried the pigskin into pay- dirt twice. Dick Elm, Charlie Galvan and Dean Webb each scored once while Dick Wiegand booted the ball between the uprights for five consecutive points. The following week the team journeyed 275 miles to lose to a large and powerful team from Scottsbluff. The Bluffsmen were the largest our squad met during the entire season. Fllthough they were outweighed nearly ten pounds per man, our team gave the Cats a close game.

Coach Lou Campbell stressed a building program this year, which has already begun to produce ree sults in the caliber of play. ln the next two years we shall have good teams to cheer on to numerous victories with such standouts as Dick Wiegand, high scoring center, Bill Ridge- way, a shitty guard, Don Treadway, lanky sophomore forward, and Carl Weber, who teams with Wallace at forward.

They Yoaglut Clean and Hard to Kecome Our boxing team, under the capable coach- ing of Lou Ninegar, completed a successful season by winning twenty-four out of a possible thirty-six fights. The squad climaxed the year with the team championship in the State tournament at Sutton. The boxers opened the season with a dual meet at Hlbion. By winning seven of twelve bouts they edged the Cardinals in a closely contested group of fights. Iose Carranza gave us the first win by tak- ing a close decision from an Hlbion battler. Following this bout two Bearcat sluggers were decisioned by narrow margins. Charley Gal- van brought the second win of the night by gaining the nod over Curren in a one-sided affair. Ted Thinnes and Gerald York were participants in the two most closely contested bouts of the evening. Both won by split de- cisions. Iack Dobberstein, Dean Webb, and Ierry Nickel were the other Bearcat victors. Nickel won by a KO in the first. The following Friday our team traveled to Hinsworth for a.match with a team that had been runners-up at State in 1948. Wayne Sherer opened the card by getting knocked out in the first round. George Hayward evened the score by taking a narrow win in a closely matched fray. Charley Galvan and Gerald York were both victims of split-decisions, in fights that could have gone either way. Ted Thinnes captured the second Cat win by dis- playing perfect boxing skill against a slug- ging opponent. Roy Leibee lost a widely booed decision which saw the Hinsworth fighter on the ropes in the second and third rounds. Charles Hayward defeated his ad- versary via a unanimous decision. Dean Webb chilled Charles Larson in ten seconds of the second round. Hs a result Plinsworth took the meet by winning five bouts, although our heavier fighters didn't see action.

On the following night six of the squad were matched for fights. George Hayward opened the nights card by TKO'ing a Sutton boxer early in the second round. Charley Galvan gained a unanimous in a well fought bout. Gerald York had some difficulty in gaining the nod over a tall Nelson fighter. ln the next weight Ted Thinnes, busy Cat fighter, took a thrill packed decision over Law- rence of Hlbion, for his second win of the sea- son over the Cardinal swinger. Boy Leibee, the only Bearcat pug to lose, was ousted in the semi-finals by Philmelee of Qlbion on a l -I I Charley Galvan and George Hayward exchange left iabs as they prepare for the State meet. split decision. Dean Webb, final Cat boxer to see action, won by a KO in 1:19 of the first round over Bob DeNeayer of Valentine. The finals started on Saturday evening and the Fllbion squad took a decided advantage by copping the first two fights. But again George Hayward came through to take the first Bearcat championship. ln the one-sided fight George won by a TKO in the third. Charley Galvan followed with another TKO to start our team on the 'way to its first boxing crown. Other individual champs were Ted Thinnes, who scored a TKO in the third, Dean Webb USED, won by a unanimous decision. Fil Wiegand retained his title winning by de- fault, tl64Jg Ierry Nickel registered a TKO in the third round, and Dick Wiegand cnnexed, the heavyweight title by virtue of a TKO in forty-seven seconds of the first. pShere3ll Thinnel Webb A.

They met Grand Island in the first meet, and poor weather kept both squads from being in top shape, although sev- eral fine marks were posted. Our team lost by a lll 415 to 58115 margin. The wide dif- ference in points totals was due to squad depth, and several of our track men were at Sutton boxing in the state tournament. The Islanders swept nine of the twelve events.

Bill Kalous, a sophomore, was the top scorer by copping a second in the highs, a third in the broad jump and a fourth in the 440 yard dash. The following Tuesday, the squad traveled to I-loldrege for a dual meet with the Dusters. They easily defeated the Holdrege team by a wide margin, There were no out- standing marks, as our boys copped nearly every event. The point getters were dominated by underclassmen.

Other Cat hurdlers are Bill Kulous and Marvin Elliott. Our team was host to a triangular, with McCook and Holdrege coming to Kearney. We watched as they easily annexed their second consecutive victory. The point totals were as follows: Kearney l28:32 points, Holdrege 47.22, and McCook last with 46.44. Dick Elm took wins in the low hurdles and won the high jump with a leap of 5 feet, 4 inches. Lawrence Gill stepped off the quarter mile in 55.1 for his best time. Harris remained undefeated in l M I ' . 1 IM mile competition thus far this year, and Bill Ridgeway grabbed a first in the broad jump. The 880 yard relay team posted a time of 1:3822 to rank fourth in the state. Dick Wiegand tossed the discus lU5 feet 4 inches to annex that event. The most heartening feature of this year's squad has been the performance of sophomores and juniors which indicates the possibilities of good teams in the future.

For those poor bewildered students at the beginning of the year, the journalism class edited a new publication, the Blue and Gold h a n d b o o k. This helpful pamphlet contained information about the activities, teachers, classes and most of all, a layout of the school, which aided in the location ot such hard-to-find rooms as Miss Kirsch's. ln order to boost Log sales, the Log statf went in search of talent for the Talent Show sponsored by station L-O-G. The winner, Io Hnne Mullowney, received complete payment on a '49 Log. We were quite dumbtounded to hear Mr. Collins speak of the spiked coke which he had brought to the Hobo party on Halloween. What a laugh we had when we saw that it was merely a coke with a big nail in it. Westem tunes were very popular with the Boys Glee at the Musicalia when they sang Tumbling Tumble Weeds.

Pls we watched the gals model their own clothes, we were truly proud ot these future Powers models. Hround the Clock With the Seasons was the name chosen tor the style show and the clothes modeled were those belonging to the girls. Competition ran high among the journalism students as they tried to see who could sell the most tickets to the hour dances. The three students who sold the least number of tickets had to sponsor the next week's dance. These hour dances, sponsored weekly by the jour- nalism classes were started to raise funds for the Echo, but were continued because we en- joyed them so much. Bowling kept some ot the when they bowled every first day of the month.

The boys were a tremendous hit as they gave their interpretation of that great classic Nature Boy , The graceful antics of Iackie and Idora were timed to Faust as they ballet danced to this masterpiece. H three act murder comedy, Home Sweet Homicide was chosen as the senior play with Eugenia Carns, Marlene Martin and lack Wagner taking the leading roles. This produc- tion, which has been made into a movie, dife fered from the plays of previous years because it had an outdoor stage setting. During the long winter months, the fellows who didn't play on the basketball team, started their yearly intra-mural basketball tournament. These hot shots practiced when they could and even if they didn't know the best plays, they had a lot of fun, and that, after all was their greatest ambition.

Rfter the game, however, the subject was only discussed when the boys brought it up be- cause the boys soundly defeated the girls by winning tour games out of six, Of course, said boys' coach, Ioe Greeno, They played pretty good for girls. Making things hum at the basketball games was the pep band under the direction of stu- dent director Io Hnne Mundorit. The band was made up of members of the regular band and it really added pep to the basketball games, When we write in our Logs, Remember . . .
