SAB Achieves Better Government Skiltully Hchieving and Building better government for Kearney High was the job ot the SQB or Student Hd- visory Board. Discussing problems and parties was the agenda tor the SHE every Tuesday morning at eight o'clock. The Student Hdvisory Board strives for cooperation a closer relationship between students and faculty, as well as a good democracy throughout the school.

Hgain this year an annual Color Day Parade was conducted by the Board. Q tive dollar award was given to the best tloat, The re-opening and operation ol the Kearney Youth Center was a major part oi the Work ot the SHE this year. lnasmuch as there were no funds to maintain our recreation center, it had been closed. The Board, along with the Youth Center Council, invited studens to an open torum. Pitter due delibera- tion, the students agreed to operate the Center on a Week-end basis only, the tinancing, cleaning and maintenance to be performed by students, under the general supervision ot the SQB. Stu- dents were pleased to be able to gov- ern themselves and to have an oppor- tunity to demonstrate their business abilities, The Youth Center is thought to be the finest student-operated Youth Center in the land, We have caught these ambitious-looking members of the SHB in a temporary pose of working, though Dick looks as though he doesn't intend to keep at it for long! On December 9, the SQB sponsored a Chili Feed, which turned out to be a great success. The Board was en- couraged by the general cooperation received. The Student Hdvisory Board super- vised the Holiday Prom, which was held on December 22. Qt this time two Belles and a Beau were crowned. Stu- dents danced to the music ot Sam lean Nelson. Lloyd Taber and Phyllis Hartman are enjoying their pleasant task of decorating the Christmas tree donated by the SHB. Donaly's Band, and the evening was enjoyed by everyone. The cooperation of the students with the SHB contributed much toward mak- ing Kearney l-ligh a better school the past year. These Iunior members of SHB and Mr. Ninegar are really going to miss Pat Volsteadt next year. She left at the semester after working in the Senior High Office for two and a halt years. 5 2 t 2 .E ui 'RL' Giving their guidance and assistance for a more efticient school system are. left to right: Dr. R. M. Gilmore: Mr. George Munro: Mr. I. W. Poynter, president: Mr. Ioe B. Elliott, Ir.: Dr. H. V. Smith and Mr. R. R. Ferguson. Board Establishes School Rules Having been vested with the legisla- tive powers and functions, the Board of Education establishes school rules and regulations. lt is the concern of the members of the Board to Work for a better and more smoothly run system. They are con- fronted with many problems which must be worked out in order to achieve this efficient system. Meeting the second Monday of every month, the Board discusses such things as length of school year, ex- Page 30 penditures to be made for education and the annual budget. Serving as members of the Board of Education this year were Mr. l. W. Poynter, president, Mr. loe B. Elliott, lr., vice president, Dr. H. V. Smith, Dr. B. M. Gilmore, Mr. George Munro and Mr. B. B. Ferguson. Elected by the voters of Kearney, these men play an important role in molding the future citizens of this country. lt is their duty to see that these citizens are well educated. Morris Advances State Education On the state and local levels, and in the Kearney School System itself, our superintendent, Paul Morris, is an out- standing figure in the field of educa- tion. Hlthough many of our students do not realize it, Mr. Morris is a leader in Nebraska's education program. Be- sides being a member of the State Ex- ecutive Committees of the School- master's Club and NSEQ, he shoul- dered many responsibilities this year acting as host during several conven- tions. In the school system, Mr. Morris has kept things running smoothly for the past eight years. Principal LOU NINEGHR Superintendent PHUL MORRIS Teacher Turns From Teaching Everything has come out with a new look this year, even old Longfellow High! Find the person responsible for the face-lifting is Mr. Lou Ninegar, our new principal. Lou Ninegar, an impressive figure in the classrooms of chemistry and physics, let his teaching duties go this year to take on an even bigger job as high school principal. .Fl look at Mr. Ninegar's past will show that he is a man of many experiences and great capabilities. He has formerly been en- gaged as boxer, coach, principal and teacher. Hside from being chief warden and general supervisor of KHS, he finds time to be a farmer, the chemist for the Nebraska Beet-Growers Hssocia- tion and a father to three lucky girls and a boy. What better inspiration for the graduates of Kearney High!

Avid Writers Attain Quill and Scroll Membership in Quill and Scroll, in- ternational high school journalistic so- ciety, is a goal very important to every journalism student. The 2,000 points Having achieved the ultimate goal, 2.000 points, Quill and Scroll members are shown inspecting the Echo Hssignment sheet. Work is never-ending for these accomplished journalists. Page 32 which a reporter must accumulate in order to become a member sometimes seem impossible to acquire, but through persistent effort, seventeen journalists have this year gained this esteemed honor. The coveted points are gained through Writing tor the Echo and the Log, selling advertising or having a statt position on either the Echo or Log. The lite ot a budding journalist is in- deed a trying attair.

Guest speaker for the banquet was Bob Faris, assistant football coach at the University of Nebraska, who was returning from the Orange Bowl in Florida. Though basketball games were diffi- cult to attend on many occasions, loyal Bearcat fans followed their team to as many games as possible. Such close defeats as the Gothenburg, 45 to 47, and Cozad, 48 to 50, gave constant rise Explaining a new problem to the Bearcat Booster Cabinet is president, Phyllis Hartman.

To initiate their new members pro- perly, a picnic was held at Cottonmill Lake. For entertainment, the girls par- ticipated in a lively treasure hunt, each one receiving a reward for her efforts. ln order to get better acquainted, a Coke Party was planned. The girls dis- cussed dating etiquette, and a skit was put on stressing the importance ot good grooming. lngle Plulik, an Estonian coed, spoke to the girls on her escape from her com- munist dominated country to th e United States. From her talk the girls learned to appreciate the Plmerican way of life much more. During the Christmas season the Y- Teens were all busy selling Christmas cards in order to replenish their treas- ury. The annual banguet was held in February, and a travel theme was chosen. Mrs. Gale Moon, who had just recently returned from a trip to Europe and the Near East, showed her slides. . ' , Cook McCook was the theme for the Y-Teen's Color Day Parade float.

Secretaries Push Entering the final phase of preparation before going into the business world, twenty-two future secretaries under the guidance of Mrs. Dessie Shanklin learned poise and confidence. The Pushbutton Club, which met every other Thursday morning at 7:45, taught the girls the necessity of being punctual. The purpose of this club was to foster correct behavior in business. The girls found this out by inviting old graduates to talk about their experi- ences in the business world. This year the Twig, published for the third consecutive year, was a big and better production. lt was decided to allot a page to each senior and to in- clude a sample of everyone's likes and dislikes such as favorite actor, flower and sayings. H class motto was chosen. Page 72 Looking over the records of sales of the Pushbutton Club and figuring out the profit they have made are the club officers of the first semester.

Every quarter the girls elected offi- cers and drew names for secret pals whose identities were revealed at the end of nine weeks. Ht the climax of their Christmas party, the club serenaded the students of KHS by caroling through, the halls. The girls also honored three graduates at the end of the semester by giving them a party. lt can be summed up as a club year well spent in learning cooperation with each other, the proper attitude, proper business etiquette and how to conduct oneself as a dignified and poised secretary. 95 Giving time and talents toward the administration oi Iunior High are, from leit to right, sitting: Danny Hirschield.

Junior High Council Rules Well The students of junior high school or- ganized in the STUDENT UNlON OF KEQRNEY IUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, a council representing this student union. Each of the seventeen homerooms elected a representative. The student body elected a president, vice-presi- dent, secretary and a sergeant-at- arms. These twenty-one individuals made up the student council. They met periodically to administer the affairs of the student union and to enact legislation beneficial to the stu- dent body. Thus far, it has given chart- ers to two junior high organizations, the Pep Club and the Library Club. lt also has authorized the award of athletic letters and certificates and other hon- orary awards. This year it has taken upon itself an outside responsibility, that of adminis- tering the Youth Center for junior high pupils. They have also been in charge of dances and other affairs at the Youth Center. Pictured below are the members oi the Iunior High Student Council with Mr. Prather.

The Bearcubs started their football season in a fine style as they clobbered the Minden Whippets 28-U. Probably the high point in the gridiron year for ghe Iunior High was the U-U tie against arr. The next two games for the Iunior High proved a win and a loss, the win over Holdrege, 27-7, and the loss, l4-12, to Walnut. The small Bearcub team then ran into a large Hastings squad as they were outclassed 20-6. In their last three games, the Iuniors won over Gothenburg, 22-U, and lost to Cozad, 13-U, and Lexington, 16-7. Coach Morrow's small basketball team had trouble through their l3 game schedule as they won only two games, those over Holdrege and Mc- Cook, and lost ll. Due to the early Log deadline the Iunior High track squad had not checked out yet, but the outlook could be favorable.
