Mead Public School - Raider Yearbook (Mead, NE)

Page 27 text:

 In the fall of 1950 on this unpredictable mid century morning twenty green freshmen, complete with a case of fright and wobbly knees, enrolled in Mead High School. Our very friendly seniors gave us the opportunity to make friends by giving us a party. Our fresh- man year was under the sponsorship of Mr. Jones. We elected Grace Moser president, David Bailey vice-president, Arlene Kudlacek secre- tary, and Allan Nygren treasurer. Our Freshman year will hold many memories, especially of our class skating parties. In 1951, on a mild September day, twenty-two happy sophomores opened the year under the sponsorship of Mr. Hunt. We chose Allan Nygren president, Grace Moser vice-president, Arlene Kudlacek secre- tary, and David Bailey treasurer. Here again we will remember the good times. In the autumn of 1952, twenty proud juniors, being upper class- men, now found themselves walking on clouds. Mr. Bodzek was our sponsor. Our officers were David Bailey president, Richard Pearson vice-president, Arlene Kudlacek secretary, and Grace Moser treasurer. We purchased our class rings and presented the Junior Play, “Bolts and Nuts”, in which we all enjoyed working. We also participated in Boys and Girls County Government. Our class was host to the seniors at the Junior-Senior Picnic and to the graduates and members of the alumni at the Alumni Banquet. On a bright and shining September day in 1953, we now saw that the end was in sight. We started the year with seniority rights by initiating the freshmen. Our sponsor was Mr. Simpson. We elected the following officers--Richard Pearson president. Bob Moline vice president, Ernest Rosenthal secretary-treasurer, and Arlene Kudlacek class reporter. We looked forward to our Senior Play, the Junior- Senior Picnic, Sneak Day, and last of all, graduation. “Yes, we are going to graduate”, but wherever we go, you’11 never find a better class than the “Seniors of 1954” or a better school than Mead High School. During our high school career, our class participated in many of the school activities such as band, glee club, sports, and Pep Club; and some individuals participated in solos at the contests and in journa- lism work in the BUCCANEER, and the RAIDER.
