There are many leaders among these sophomores and We are expecting great things of them next year. One boy received an athle- tic award, six girls are in Pep Club, two were elected to serve on Student Council, and there are approximately twenty sophomores in band, fifteen in glee club, and six in choir. About one-third of M. H. S. is made up of these hopefuls. These are the Baby Bisons-Remember them! ing to these future scientists of America. At least Betty Hoyt and Bob Waugh think so. Esther Schultz and Bonnie Spencer look at another engaging beast while Jacqueline Jacques, Dorleen Or- maii and Marion Steele View things from a different angle. Now, lads, let's not work so hard: Jack Harrison, Jack Poore, Clif Vaughn, Bob McKillip, John Shields and Martin Liebrandt are forging something or other, prob- ably its the keel of a battleship. These are the typical English students, eh what, Souther?

Robert Fair is pointing out the World Situation, while Bob Burnham and one twin, yes, I think it's Mary, and another, must be Gwen, look very interested.

'Jo ns on, ANNUAL STAFF Since a student year book invari- ably becomes an ,authoritative permanent record of school life, the staff has been especially anxious to represent all types of activities. Because we feel that in- formal pictnres arouse keener memories, we have, wherever possible, depicted our daily life in its most familiar setting. We are Well aware that our work would have :been unsuccessful without the wholesome cooperation of all the students and it is this traditional M. H. S. spirit that has made our work a pleasure. The 2i2 persons, wh'o, early in Jan- uary, undertook the responsibility of building this Year Book did not realize what a task they h-ad undertaken until about the middle of March when they learned that the copy was to be com- pleted by early April. On February 11, at a s-ge-cial convocation which featured an original take off on a Red Skelton program, the sales campaign was begun which netted a total of more than 275 books to establish an all time record for year book sales. We were too busy to have many parties, however, we ,did manage to have one outstanding social event--a slide down hill party which ended at the junior high school lunch room with a chili feed.

S, chapter of Future Fariners Of Am-erica was organized in 151-11 under the leadership of Mr, Hartley. The purpose of this organization is to teach the boys how to farm scientificilly, so they will be able to do their best with what facilities they may have. The cluib's major activities this year have included: a basketball team which has been unde- feated, a soft ball team, a cornhusking' crntest, and a banquet at which the parents were guests. At the Judging Contest which was held in Lincoln, Bob McKillip won two fourth prizes anzl one sixth prize. Sponsor : Lorraine Carter LATIN CLUB This organization is considerably more active than its 11211116 might du,2p1'6St. The club meets oncc a month, givera a program and serves refreshments. Sec- ond year students and freshmen with an A average are eligible for membership. The purpose of this organization is two- fold: it gives an opportunity for students with a common interest to meet each other in a social environmentg the pro- grranis presented at the meetings afford an opportunity for correlating' the formal information gained in the class room with some more practical and interesting' aspects of the subject matter. , Violet , Virgil F1 wncis ampbell G. A. A. The Girls Athletic Association gives junior high and senior high school girls a chance to iparticipate in sports suited to their abilities and directed according to their interests. The purpose of this association is to foster interest in a scientifically planned physical education program for girls. Considerable new equipment was provided this year and the organization has flourished. The club became socially ambitious and sponsoreil very successfully a learn-to-dance pro- jectg also an outstanding social achieve- ment the inauguration of what they hope will be an annual St. Patricks dance which was conducted as a vice versa affair. BISON STAFF The purpose of the Bison Staff is to give the students both technical know- ledge cf journalism and practical 'ex- peri-ence. This is the twenty-sixth year of publication. The staff sponsored one of the most successful shows of the sea- son, the Talent Show, which netted the organization a neat profit. Every year the Bison staff has a picnic 'to which each member invites guests.

Though their public appearances have .been relatively infrequent, the quality and charm of their offerings have won for them both popular and critical acclaim. The girls glee club serves both as a training' organization for the choir and also as a means of interesting and develop- ing girls whose vocal talents are as yet unproved. From this group are selected the girls whose ability Wins them a place in the choir, The choir or mixed chorus is the outstanding vocal music group of M. H. S. No public performance of this group is taken lightly by either students or patrons. The superior rating Won -by these singers in the past has established the quality of their achievements and their arppear- ance insures lboth a good crowd and a good program. HI-Y The 1942 Hi-Y is streamlined to meet the ideals of the democratic way of living. .Although Y. M. C. A.'s were in existence in high schools as early as 1889, the organization named Hi-Y dil not make its appearance until 1911. The McCook chapter was started in 1928. To stimulate high standards of Christian character is the purpose of Hi-Y and this is accomplished by clean living, clean speech, clean athletics, and clean scholar- ship. The McCook chapter is made up of junior and senior boys under the leader- ship of Bill Carroll, president, Grif De- May, vice president, and Jack Young, treasurer. DRAMATICS CLUB At the beginning of the second semester all those interested in dramatics were eligible to become members of the dramatics club. The club is divided into several committees: costuine, bulletin bogril, play reading, direciing, casting, advancement, and program. The club con- ducts several projects, such as lighting, mod-el making, production, acting, make- up, and play writing. The Juniors gave t'Evcr Since Eve for their class play a nd the Seniors gave American Pass- Qcrt as theirs. A one-act play, t'Hugo In A Hurry, was presented by the Dramatic Club to the High School at an assembly. k Y nf' Grif DeMay, Bill Carroll, Front row: Phil James, Jack Horn, Jac ou g,, Eldon Jaguers Chet Balius.

M CLUB Membership of the M Clufb is composed of the student managers and any athlete who has lettered in football, basketball, or track. At the annual Athletic Banquet in the spring, the M Club is the guest of the Pep Club and at this time the awards are given by the coach. These lboys have done their best to give us VICTORY in every game. Because of the lack of members this year, the M Club was inactive until the last ipart of the second semester. They elected officers at this time and planned parties. The officers are: Wally Brenning, presi- dent, Yule Dorwart, vice president, Jack Howard, secretary-treasurer. Sponsor: Grace Souther PEP CLUB To arouse school spirit, to assure enthusiastic backing' and cooperation for all althleiic activities, and to lead the boys on to victory is the man-size jo'b of the Pep Club. The club consists of twelve seniors, ten juniors, and six sopho- mores who are elected by their classes. To raise money for the annual Athletic Banquet the girls have sponsored several bake sales and a kid party. Miss Souther is the sponsor this year and the officers are: President, Mary Doiwnsg vice presi- dent, Virginia DeForestg secretary, Ade- lien Collmanq treasurer, LaVerne Gregg. HONOR SOCIETY Since 1937 when the chapter 'was established, membership in this society has been the goal of M. H. S. scholars. The personnel of this organization is selected on the basis of scholarship, character, leadership and service. Since selection of members is not made until late spring, the social activities of the crganization are somewhat limited, The tapping program initiated this year prov-ed very popular and added consider- able dignity to the initiation program. Membership in this society is the highest scholastic honor that can come to a high school student. The McCook chapter has national affiliation and its members are eligible to wear the coveted insignia of the organization, STUDENT COUNCIL On the nine persons who comprise this council is placed the responsibility for direction of student activities and for the formulation of student policy. Membership in this organization is by popular vote, the seniors elect four, the juniors three and the sophomores two. The major projects which the council sponsor-ed this year are: revision of the point system, initiation of an activities record system, and numerous stampedes. Students elected to the council receive the highest honor which their classmates can bestow ulpon them, and it is par- ticularly significant that, in M. H..S. council members show marked integrity.

Their playing was on a high scale and the enthusiasm for the team was shown by the always- filled bleachers. With only one first string man, Bill Rouch, to start this season, Coach Confer had a tough job to ek Walters Kenneth Jones Edward Miller train a squad of inexperienced players. He did a magnificient job though, in getting the boys in shape. We started at Culbertson with a hard-to-take loss. The rest of the season was just more hard luck, but the boys played fine ball considering their lack of experi- ence. Next year McCook should chalk up many victories with ten experienced men coming back. Donald McKillip Larry Hayes Rob rt Waug Ass't.

With three of last year's men on the maples, we had a pretty good season. We got off to a bad start by losing to Hastings. We then re- established our confidence by beat- ing Oberlin. North Platte and Holdrege took the wind out of our sails, but we came back with five successive Wins over Lexington, Curtis, Gothenburg, Curtis Qagainj and Cambridge, respectively, until we hit a snag at Oberlin. At Kearney we Were defeated by a small margin. At the tournament We Won our first two games and Went to Lin- coln as runner up to North Platte.

VVith favorable weather, Mr. Con- fer improved every opportunity for training. From a Squad of thirty-five only one, Don McKillip, was a veteran. Though inexperienced, the boys showed promise of suc- cessful team competition. The squad gained experience through a series of intramural meet in which the senior class out pointed thc junior and sopho- more classes.

The best relaxation there is. After Two Decades The metropolis of McCook is all agog. For, you see, the honor- able class of '42 is gathering for a class reunion. Never in the his- tory of McCook had there been so many celebreties traversing the city streets. To the old pioneers this was simply an idle whim of the young. Why would any one want to waste all that money just to see those old classmates whom he probably wouldn't recognize anyway? But to these old class- mates, this was the realizationof a dream twenty-years old. This marked the end of a long MARCH TO VICTORY, a march to success. This banquet, which is being held in Parriott Hall on the new high school campus, is the last tie to those long lost carefree hours of their school days. As we enter the banquet hall the first person to catch our atten- tion, a very flashy gentleman wearing a huge diamond on one hand and a marble in his dia- mond stick pin, is Don Brooks and his secretary, Darlene Ken- nedy. By profession he is an in- ternationally-known diamond cut- ter made famous by the cutting of the gigantic Friehe diamond. Yes, classmates, while tilling his ranch, Ervain Friehe turned up this fam- ous diamond with his plow. Now we see the president of United Airlines, Bernard Lytle. With him are Joyce Bathrick, air- line hostess, Bernard McKillip, pilot, and Marvin Goodenberger, co-pilotg all of United Airlines. Talking to Miss Bathrick is Flora Jean Judy, editor of MADAMOI- SELLE, who is escorted by her cir- culation manager, Thurber Hoyt. Dr. Griffith A. DeMay, eminent brain specialist, is arriving just now and with h',m are: his recep- tionist, Jean Berry, his technician, Irene Roedelg his head nurse, La- Verne Greggg and his dietician, Gladys Clapp. Behind the doctor come two somber gentlemen of the partner- ship PFEFFER AND PLOURD, MORTICIANS. On examining their business card we see the following slogan engraved there: WE BURY DOCTORS' MISTAKESl The next group that we notice a group of well dressed ladies. And they should be for they are Madamoiselles: Ardith Childress, owncr of the ELITE DRESS STUDIO, Violet Cross, well-known fashon designer, and models, Adelien Collman, Patty Ferguson, Shirley Hamilton and Alice Moffitt. I see your attention is now focused on Bill Carroll. As you probably know, he is the heavy- weight champion of the boxing world and with him is his manag- er, Jack Howard. Talking to them is the coach who made Nebraska famous, Eugene Kelly, athletic coach at the University of Ne- braska. Of course you are looking at the two who always have the spotlight, and I do mean spotlight, Dora Mac Carter and Carl Wal- ters, those skating rockets from Broadway, and those two with them are none other than the Halloway-Wagner specialty danc- ers. Near us we see those two news- paper aces, Barbara Johnson, in- ternationally - known newspaper- woman and radio commentator with Kieth Bollerup, famous Unit- ed Press photographer. As true newsmen fyou know, pleasure is always business tool they seem to be trailing Metropolitan's prima dona, Patricia Burton and her famous accompanist, Mary Downs. Another newspaper item is Miss Beryl Hamilton, star of GAY BLADES ice carnival at Madison Square Garden, with her private secretary Joan Petersen. Now stepping into the lime- light is Roseina Friederich, that famous living interpreter of Shake- speare talking to Diamond Bob Hizel. Yes, here is that sensational band leader, Robert Niccolson, escorting those two lovely members of the all-girl orchestra broad- casting on the HOUR OF CHARM radio program, Betty Barrett and Melissa McBrien. Just arriving now are Messers Alvin and Donald Teel of the world's largest firm, TEEL'S PLOS- TIC FURNITURE INCORPORAT- ED. With them are their private secretaries, Alice Shepherd and Verna Schroeder, and their inter- ior decorator, Vivian Fidler. Now we see some McCook- not students but-teachers. Velma Roth is the music supervisor, Dar- lene Frank and Evelyn Knosp are the science and household arts instructors at the new high school. Talking to them is Leigh Ganzel, editor of the T.R. Y. WEEKLY. Oh! Yes! Here is that novelist, Robert Rishel, Nobel prize winner of three successive years. With him is Lady Furness, the former Virginia Appleyard. Dorothy God- win, who assists him with his copy, is also here. Now everyone is turning to greet those two famed chemists, Dr. Brehm and Dr. Antrim, who have just discovered the 95th element. Fame is still behind them for her are Jeane Dack, mural painter, and Mary Swanson, edit- orial writer. Hmmm! Do you hear sirens? Surely the police wouldn't raid a banquet!! But they ARE stopping. All eyes are glued on the door as three motorcycle patrolmen, Roger Brown, Ted Kinsmen and Chet Balius enter. But who is that woman with them? She seems to have a message. Why, it seems that the guest of honor, the presi- dent of the United States, John Carlson, is unable to attend. Ap- parently there is some business about Mexico's wanting to be an- nexed by the United States. The president is leaving for Mexico at once. Leaving with him is the United States Ambassador to Mexico, Glen Underhill. Now we understand who the lady that brought the message is. In case you're still wondering, her name is Mary Louise Lofenborg and she is the president's private secretary. Well, the banquet must go on anyway. If you will turn to your left a little you will see two real missionaries. One from China, Juanita Walton, and one from ln- dia, Jane McCurdy. Over on your right are two librarians employed at the public library in New York City: Violet Davis and Reta Steckmeyer. That stately gentleman who seems to be the center of attention among the scientists is the famed lecturer on animals, Dr. Yule Dor- wart. At the moment a heated discussion is waving back and forth between Dr. Brenning and Dr. Dorwart. It seems that Dr. Dorwart does not believe that BRENNING'S VITAMINS X, Y, and Z are essiential to healthy animals Be that as it may, there is one person who believes in the miracles of Brenning's vitamins and that is Miss Betty Dutton, that golden voiced food specialist who broadcasts the supernatural ef- fects of vitamins X,YandZ each week to the homes of America. In case you are interested in explorers, here is one. He is none other than the famed Arctic ex- plorer, Alex Campbell. With him on his latest exploration was Bill Rouch, Junior Trehal and Harold Wagner. Over there is the renowned founder of that national organiza- tion, HOLLIDAY LIGHTS. Talk- ing to her is Queen Snowden of delicatessen fame who always ends her advertisements with cakes as light as down. Next we turn to Virgil Schilz who, for the past ten years, has made a living from his SCHILZ PILZ FOR MALARIA. Conversing with him is Gladys Vaughn, the Home Demonstrator of Red Willow County. Of course you can not help noticing those two QUEENS OF THE COIFFURE, Selma Jean Baird and Virginia DeForest. With them is Mary Gochis, the ELEA- NOR POWELL of today. Now, let me show you a foreign minister. He is Howard V. Best who has just returned from Argen- tina. Another distinguished person is that outspoken Nebraska Con-- gressman, Eldon F. Jagger, who won prominence with his now fam- ous slogan UAMERICANS FOR AMERICA. Also, here is a general of the U. S. Army, Richard Cargmoney and two army nurses, Evelyn Howell and Imogene Hummels. Avis Sines, the owner of SINES NEON SINES, is standing over there with Wilma Messinger, the owner of MESSlNGER'S FLOWER MESSAGES. Alice Traphagan and Marguerite Neiman are Miss Messinger's two floral assistants. Another famous personage is Glen Baker, talented movie direc- tor with Velma Sullivan, his re- search librarian. We also have a representative of Stephens College with us. She is Maxine Froba, personnel direc- tor. She is conversing with Jean Witham, famous for her doll museum. If you are a man of travel you might like to converse with a zepher hostess, Jeanne Richman. If you are a private in the U. S. Army here are two army hos- tesses, Mae Hanke and Eleanor Miller, to entertain you. Now we take our leave of the honorable class of '42 as they sit down at their banquet table. But we shall see them now and again as they go MARCHING ON TO VICTORY! cgenzfozzfi of ff?-42 CML Confcafnfvzfe Yjm BRCDCDKS STUDIQ 309 Main McCook Neb aska Phtgph TSth tNbk OUR PATRCDNS ffrlll Schneider Auto Co.
