Senior l-listorq We, the seniors, have had a very interesting and fascinating four years of high school education. Since it was such a grand experience for all of us, we wish to relate the following to you: A new adventure was opened to 17 shy and curious youngsters as they enrolled in Maxwell High School on that warm fall day of September S, l9h9. Mrs. Carothers offered her experience as our guide, for every path in this new wonderland was vastly different from the ones we had trod. Being so cunning and skillful, we could solve all annoying problems except those the seniors gave us. With this being our fate, we and everyone around us suffered through the long dreaded initi- ation, which, of course, we survived. We started our sophomore year as fifteen industrious students, with Miss Antonides as sponsor. Selling candy during the noon hour was the beginning of our responsibilities. Sometime between 12 a. Fifteen energetic It was our privilege to highlights of this year Car . We found them to used when we asked the Banquet.

The were our Junior Carnival, and class play- Paul Wrecks The be highly successfulg of course, much of our profit was seniors to be our guests at the customary Junior-Senior an ingenious class of eleven young men and women, seeing reality than ever before. We are patiently waiting for the coming events to take place: Junior-Senior Banquet, Senior Play, Sneak Day, Class Night, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. Since the Senior Sneak Day is of in- terest to everyone we will not play favorites this year, but we want you all to know the particulars. we are going to leave-When?-Sometime in lQS3,-T1me?- m. and 12 p. m.-Where?-Somewhere in the United States- How?- Maybe by jet , who knows? Now that you have been well informed, please do not worry about us, we plan to return-when?-Sometime! Before we part we wish to thank all of you who have made these four years successful and worth while.-Thank you teachers, students, parents, friends, councilors, and you of the community who have expressed an interest in the leaders of tomorrow. By this time next year we will probably be scattered far and wide, as our lives are HNOT FINISHED, JUST BEGUNH. .4 - aQaxQ:5fi!E?!y, EEE?

Nebraska ' North Platte County Government Day On November Eh, 1952, the Junior Class of Maxwell High School went to North Platte to participate in County Government Day. This County Government Day is an annual event sponsored by the American Legion. Its purpose is to acquaint students with their qovernment and how it operates on a local level. Juniors are chosen for County Government Day because they have one more year of school left in which to utilize the knowledge gained by participation in this annual event. Approximately four weeks before County Government Day the students of the hivh school were divided into two political parties, the Conservatives and the Radicals. Mr. Zabel was appointed sponsor of the Conservatives and Hr. Narymee was appointed sponsor of the Radicals. After the students were informed as-to the party they belonaed to the parties met in a caucus and elected campaign manaoers, platform committees, and accepted the applications of the juniors who filed for county office. When all the preparatory work had been done an election was held in the hifh school. Since there were, at the time of the election, only eidht juniors only four offices were sought after in the oampaizn, the losers of this election were allowed to choose from the list of remalnin: offices the one that they wished to fill for a day. The juniors and the offices that they held were as follows: Sheriff-Donna Koenieg County Jules-Dean Klttleg Register of Deeds-Arlene Jonesg Clerk of the District Court-Warren hobertsong County Treasurer-Clen Ballardg County Attorney- Bonnie Lukowski. The Presbyterian Church of North Platte served a veryqood meal to all students who took part in County Government Day and their sponsors. The juniorstook notes on the events of the day and the following week reported on their days activities before the students of the hivh school in the assembly. Junior Carnival and Play On November 7, 1952, the junior class of the Maxwell High School presented their annual play and carnival. The preparations for these events beran three weeks before the big night arrived. The carnival and play were well attended and the activity at the box office qave the junior class fund a much needed transfusion. The carnival consisted of four booths and a prize tooth. There was a fishinm pond, country store, R. R. nun shoot, a novelty stand, and a prize booth where tickets could be exchanged for prizes. In addition to the above named booths there wasa dartthrow,besketball toss, and a baseball throw. A cake walk, which was well attended, was held on the stare of the auditorium. The play presented by the juniors was uThe Weddinqu, a three-act comedy.

Zabel On September the lst, 1952, 15 very green Freshmen entered M.H.S. just tofind out how much theycould increase their knowledge. We heard some hair-raising stories of initiation so we didn't what exactly to expect. Of course, we made our appearance on 12 with baby bottles,pipes, lipstick, perfume, pigtails, ribbons and nylon caps as had been commanded. A party was ld for us that night with fun and food for all including the KANGROO COURT. We enjoyed it and are looking forward to or-hood when we'll have that privilege.

We are takinq the four reouired subjects, General Science, Mathematics, World Geography and Enwlish. To get away from these for awhile, thouqh we like them very much, we had a party.

T G f 1 r s During the first two weeks of school, our presiding officer, Pauline Miller, called to order the first meeting of our pep club to organize our activities for the 1952-53 year. bince the president elect did not return, Pauline miller, vice-president, automatically became president. Doris Hopkins and Peggy Durke were elected cheerleaders. uue to an appendectomy, uoris was unable to continue and Donnie hukowski was chosen to take her place. At the beginning of this year we had a sum of 4157.71 ln the treasury, which had been brought in during the past few years through the selling of refreshments at the fcotoall and the basketball games. Dues of either 25 or 50 cents a year contriouted much to the treasury. he used this money in the purchasing of the American Flag and the School Flag which were presented to the student oody on October 30, l9b2, and are now on display in the school assembly. The uniforms for the year were black slacks, white blouses and orange sweaters for footoull and black skirts, white blouses and orange sweaters for basketoall. We hope that as a pep club we have fulfilled our purpose by cheering the boys on through their games this year. We also want to thank Mrs. Zable, our sponsor, who helped make this year very successful. al PAWNEE mumxrs B E A u T Y s A L o N ..'Z1?.'Il NORTHPLATTE NEBRASKA .Q xi' g A left obertson Don Mentzer Dean Kittle Vittlz ary Brittenham ary Hughbank uerald Konruff Don Miller Lee Holm GHPY Ralph Exstrom Don Kittle Rossa nxweLL P Coopenm' ve limmwunx ' ' x,.l,,:x 'X mnxweLL,neaRnsKn 6lL CO.

In N0V6mbGr Sharon Holm moved to North Platte leaving us only 6 ln the dpzn grade. Third Grade's favorite activities have been the experiments we per- formed in Science and the farm and community scenes we made in the sand ta- ble for social studies. We also made a street and road map of our commu- nity locating the home of each student. Fourth grade enjoyed making an Indian scene and covered wagons for history. We made a table display of various objects depicting life on the Sahara Desert. Pictures of desert life and a map of Africa were also drawn. Early in the fall we organized our room club. Gary Gross was elected president, Teddy Miller vice-president and Sandra Howey secretary. We had a lot of fun at the Halloween party. The costumes were grue- some and weird. While Halloween is always spooky Christmas is exciting. We made gifts for our mothers, took part in the pageant and had our party with Gift exchange Friday afternoon. f BLE VIN ssnvrc E , MAXWELL, NEBRASKA . Fil' i Grade .dm Second Grade . QF .V 3-L.

On September 18, Faye Cathey joined our group. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are taught in our room but the greatest stress is placed upon HCitizenshipH- ' training the children to be an asset to the community. One project the children enjoyed very much was our I. little Halloween Project-HHe1ping Othersu. The children suggested names of those who lived alone in the community, then they made a small treat for each one. They delivered these treats in person. The Joy that was manifested upon the faces of their friends filled the hearts of the children to overflow- ing. Then, when thank you letters were received the children began to feel they were of vital importance in the community of Maxwell. Citizenship is stressed in our recess play as well as in our work. It is not who wins that counts, but how you play the game. 4 L.
