DEDICATION We dedicate this milestone of our progress to a man who has served us for six years as teacher, counselor and friend and under whose competent hand we feel proud to graduate. That man—L. P. Andrews, has cooperated with us and aided us and made our High School careers more pleasant and more beneficial than we had ever hoped for. Mr. Andrews has attained his Master’s Degree and is a prominent figure in the teaching profession and an asset to his community in which he has served so ably as Superintendent for the past six years. It is with deepest regard and admiration that we make this dedication. TO THE PARENTS: Words cannot express our thanks and appreciation for the innumerable gestures and aids that you have bestowed upon us. We hope that our success may only be a shadow of the cares and sacrifices that you have made—to augment our success. It is fruitless—impossible to articulate phrases that will state our gratitude to you—we can only say, Thanks, Mother and Dad! We will strive to conquer. OUR COMPLIMENTS TO THE GRADUATES TO THE SUPERINTENDENT TO THE UNDER GRADUATES TO THE PRINCIPAL AND TEACHERS We hope that our cooperation has enabled you to enjoy a better Year Book than would otherwise have been possible.

Class officers elected were: President, Bob Collins; Vice President, Norman Rudnick; Secretary-Treasurer, Phyllis Yenter. Miss Snider acted as sponsor during the year ai d managed to keep the ever nimble young freshmen on the road to higher learning and the finer things for which to strive. Harold Rhoades, Elvera Fisher and Norman Rudnick all left our midst and moved to new locations where they continued their school careers. In the following year we again returned to school as distinguished Sophomores, and found that we still had the same twenty-seven members; however, they did not all remain with us throughout the year. Marylnn Sherlock, June Weiss, and Gerald Cleveland left our ranks and left us with a sad little number of twenty-four until a very noble character burst upon us with all the vitality and vivo’ of a Nebraska dust storm. We have never regretted the fates that sent James Bradford into our midst with his Irish wit and Caustic pen. Mr. Andrews sponsored us through the year and instructed us in the manly art of staying upon our feet despite the fact that a pair of roller skates is the most slippery thing that one can find. Class officers were: President, Pauline Catron; Vice President, Bob Collins, and Secretary-Treasurer, Phyllis Yenter. The Sophomore boys started out on their athletic career which was to increase in magnitude as the years of school passed. As our Junior year opened, we found Mount Hope had bestowed upon us four splendid students: Della Kilmer, Dick Reeves, Duane Stewart and Reed Switzer, but we had lost Anita Antrim and Lois Sessler. The Class officers were: President, Jim Bradford; Vice President, Quentin Osborn; Secretary-Treasurer, Phil Giant. This year we produced, under the fine management of Miss West and Miss McGregor, the Junior Class play, “You're the Doctor,” which was a grand and glorious success despite the terrific headaches the cast caused our directors during J.

Another grand high light in our careers came when we prepared the Junior-Senior banquet. Many tired muscles and aching backs resulted but everyone had a wonderful time in giving the Seniors of 1938 a grand farewell from this high school. At the start of this year we found that being Seniors seemed not nearly so inaccessible as it had looked in those twelve years of journeying to the top, yet there certainly was a fine feeling of distinction in being seniors. Lorna Collins had moved to a new home and we missed her from our ranks. Mr. Taylor started the year as our sponsor but we were greatly disappointed when he left our midst in the middle of the year to move to a new position, he had traveled with us from our freshman year and for a few weeks it was a bewildered class that wandered around wondering what it was to do without him. His place was filled for a few weeks by Mr. Lindahl, but not permanently until Mr. Payne came from Kearney to take Mr. Taylor’s place and guide the Seniors on their final semester’s journey to graduation. In this our Senior year, we bestowed the honor of President upon Phil Grant—idol of the hardwood. Carl Berg served as vice president and Merle Horrocks was our Secretary-Treasurer. The Senior Class pictures were taken—of course with a great amount of giggling, and excitement. The Annual staff was chosen with Jimmy Bradford as chief scribe—or Editor. The Senior Class play, “It Happened in Hollywood,’’ was a great success coached by A. E. Payne, our able and helpful sponsor. High School has been a grand experience and I know every Senior will feel a little reluctant in leaving it, but they certainly bestow all the good luck in their power on these undergraduates and teachers to whom they bid a fond “adieu.” By Carl Berg.

In witness thereof we have set our hand and seal of approval at Meadow Grove, Nebraska, on this the third day of May, 1939. Signed, Senior Class of ’39. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Diary of 1949.................kept by a graduate of “39” Well, well, it’s a small world isn’t it? I ran into Carl Berg today, the boy that put the corn in the cornet. He is conducting an all girl orchestra and features—Pauline Catron as his song bird. Joyce Neely is doing dance numbers with his orchestra. Saw “Boake” Bradford, today too—of course I read his columns every day in the “New York Gazette’' but I didn’t know that he published four volumes of poems—he is a bachelor and is still a “woman hater.” Received the Meadow Grove News and read that Verona Duhachek, principal of schools, and Donald C. Munger, superintendent, were married last week—congratulations. Lena Inness is teaching there too—I hear she is going to marry Quintin Osborn who took over “Red's” job as janitor. The unexpected happened however when I met Claire Dye on the street—he is just back from Alaska where he is a trapper,—Phyllis Yenter, his adoring wife was wearing a chic skunk coat;—she says she drives his dog team for him! Norman Krupicka was in Police court for disturbing the peace. I always knew his “soap box” speaking would get him in bad. P. S. i bailed him out! Odena Lewis and Dean Schleuter are happy parents of triplets. Dean is still milking those cows. Duane Stuart, the scientist of the class, has invented a new serum to prevent “housemaid’s knee-’—gad, he’ll be rich in no time! Dick Reeves and Arthur Suckstorf are partners in the grocery business—Dick’s only complaint is that Arthur’s great love for victuals tends to munch up the profits! Jennie Dearmin is a stenographer in the “Cruncho Nut Works. Merle Horrocks is an executive in the firm. P. S. He still goes with Jean Daniel. Max Horrocks is piling up the green backs in the circus. He charges to see his freak mustache, which is so long he could rope a Durham bull with it clear back home in his Dad’s south eighty. Hundreds pay to see him—thousands demand their money back! Hatty Ann Kahler is now famous on the radio—she’s an old maid you know and takes the place of “Ma Perkins. She dropped her heart in “39.” I’m going to a basketball game to-nite—two of mv old friends, Phil Grant and Bob Collins, are playing on the All American—Bob also is a hunter and Phil is the strong man in Max Horrocks’ “freak circus. Della Kilmer and Dorothy Blair are running a girl’s school. Reed Switzer is engaged to Della and Dorothy is going steady with Raymond Larson who is a plow jockey on his dad’s farm—he's made a fortune selling snipes and squabs. Well, dear diary it’s time to close—I’ll save other news for another page. It’s gratifying to see my old classmates prosper—may they succeed one and all and emerge victors in the battle of life.

Bradford) . -We have a class of twenty-six, intense bold seniors, everyone. We’ve had a lot of trials, our gang, but also had a lot of fun. We have steel muscled athletes—sopranos with golden voices Romeos and Juliets—and a band that renders moans and noises. A. E. Payne—(the jolly tumbler) is our sponsor kind and true He helps us solve our many problems in life and in the classroom too. Ah yes, and then we have our poets—and our lads with caustic pens To copy scandals—trite romances ’mongst the blades and little “ferns.” Typists swift—scientists many—mathematicians ’mongst our crew And reckless drivers—road kings speedy are found among our number, too, Our cage quintet have dazzled many—for four long years kept the fans in glee— With their shots so deft upon the hardwood their many fine games in tradition will be. Ah, many are the times we’ve gazed upon the bulletin boards and the clock— Waiting for the bells to ring, and listening to the tick and tock Of Father Time as he marched onward, and passed by our little flock. 1 believe as growing older—we’ve achieved and have progressed. At least we’ve always tried to conquer and at all times did give our best. But like all seniors our careers tho' bright and pleasant, at length must end— And in our hearts we feel real sorrow, as our announcements at last we send. Goodbye! We’re saying to the schoolhouse—little building of brick red— We hope the things that we’ve accomplished, and memories fond are not yet dead. So thank you all for all you’ve done, and friends and teachers fond adieu! We say goodbye with deep regret but we’ll be thinking of you too. So bear in mind we weren’t a bad bunch—tho' at times we threw spit balls. And upset the class and teased you teachers and drew freak pictures on the walls. So out we go—twenty-six young seniors, on our lips we have a song— To try and buffet the cares of life—as we merrily roll along— Remember us, we happy Seniors—a class that was a group quite fine— Good luck, dear friends, we’re leaving you—remember the class of “39.” BUCKENDORF FLORAL CO Expert Designers of Flowers For All Occasions 435 Norfolk Ave. Phone 1211 Norfolk Nebraska A-SMILE-A-MINUTE-STUDIO k l PHOTOS (inC 4 POSES ( MINUTES Norfolk, Nebraska GET YOUR PHOTOS MADE OFTEN Every Picture a Different Position ENLARGEMENTS £? . and Lasting DUDLEY LAUNDRY COMPANY Dry Cleaners—Launderers Hatters—Rug Cleaners Towel and Linen Supply Truck picks up and delivers on Monday and Thursday PHONE 76 SUCCESS WITH GOOD VISION Congratulations to the members of the class of 1939 and wishes for the best of success.

We, as a train of Freshmen, started on our journey together in the fall of 1936. With each student representing one, we had -a total of thirty-one cars joined together. Mr. Mc-Dermid, our class sponsor, guided the train with Wayne Ker-stine, president and Warren D. Osborn, vice president and Mildred Schilling, secretary and treasurer, following immediately behind. During the travel three cars disconnected, namely, Carol Burton at Colorado and Violet and Clarence Dickenson at Washington. Near spring Leo Pojar as another car joined. As the September of 1937 approached, we now as Sophomores, resumed our journey. Very much to our loss there was a decrease in our number of cars. Dale Matula, Dale Castle-ton, Maxine Lewis, and Warren D. Osborn moved from here to start their Sophomore year in different schools. This left a number of twenty-three but soon David Higbee, Warren Dowling and Leo Pojar dropped off and Dwight Stewart came in now giving a total of twenty-one cars. During our climb in the Sophomore class Mr. Andrews was at the head of the train as class sponsor with Wayne Kerstine, president, Mildred Schilling, vice president and Dale Kaufman, secretary and treasurer as his main assistants. The fall of 1938 marked our expedition as being half over. We, now in our Junior year of striving for higher learning, found on our first day three new passengers cars joined to us. They, who were picked up at Mount Hope, were Mabel Austin, La Vonne Schultz and Donrae Hogsett. A month later David Higbee again united with us after almost a year’s absence. During the first months Don Bredehoft discontinued, maybe the hills were too steep for him. Miss West and Miss Sieh led us into our first class play, “There Goes the Bride.” Class officers of Wayne Kerstine, president, Sara Cunningham, vice-president, and Mildred Schilling, secretary and treasurer, followed the two able sponsors. We are now a train of twenty-four cars and hope to reach our destination in the spring of 1940 all together.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In September 1937 Meadow Grove High School opened with twenty-seven “sophisticated Freshmen. The class was decreased in number when Martha Scott moved to Bradshaw and Vernon Williams to Battle Creek. Nancy Jo Marts, who moved from Long Pine, Nebraska to Meadow Grove, made the class total 26. The Freshmen enjoyed the year at Meadow Grove High School with many parties and interesting events. Class sponsor was Mr. Quiller and class officers were: President—Don Wright Vice President—Lawrence Osborn Secretary—Jean Daniel Treasurer—Delbert Dearmin In September 1938 the “Freshies” continued their education at Meadow Grove. Randall Collins moved to Lincoln in the summer and Zollie Halsey discontinued her schooling so only 24 pupils enrolled as Sophomores. In the middle of the term, Maxine Meyers discontinued her education and Wayne Kasper moved here from South Dakota. The Sophomores have enjoyed the term very much and are looking forward to the remaining years. The officers of the Sophomore class are: President—Lawrence Osborn Vice President—Merlyn Kinne Secretary-Treasurer—Joe Sullivan Mr. Andrews is sponsor of the Sophomore class this year.

G. F. Qtiiller, the class sponsor, took the group to several theatre parties and the Senior-Frosh party was very memorable. The Class officers elected were: Willard Wegner—President Timothy Terry—Vice-President Darwin Kohl—Secretary-Treasurer Lucille Lewis—Sergeant-at-Arms These class officers served very satisfactorily in their respective offices and guided the class through their novice year very well. We lost Bill Hash and Donald Zierke from our ranks; but Battle Creek gave us Velma Clements—as an addition to our ranks making our number 26. We have a promising class and have athletes as well as Scholastic stars in our midst. In our three remaining years in the Meadow Grove Schools we hope to achieve and prosper. Willard Wegner.

After several weeks of drill the squad was cut to eight of the most promising men. Included in this select group was. Grant, Max Horrocks, Collins, Merle Horrocks, Pugh, Osborn and Dye. PHIL GRANT—A four letter man for Meadow Grove and by his basketball prowess, twice deemed to be one of the ten outstanding players in the class B tourney. Phil served four years at forward—and any opponent always had their hands full—as Grant was almost consistently the M. G. high scorer. MAX HORROCKS—Combining a disarming grin with an adept ability at defensive and offensive playing, Max was an individual asset to the M. G. crew. Max was a tough guard and gave the opposing forwards many difficulties. His long shots gathered two points with regularity for the Scarlet and White. BOB COLLINS—Playing his third year as guard Bob turned in some fine performances this year. Bob passes well, is a good shot, but above all is a fighter. Bob rates with the best of them and for his superlative efforts was chosen Captain of the team this year. MERLE HORROCKS—Six foot of coordinated muscles plus natural basket ability describes Merle. Merle was playing his th.ird year as center and flipped many of his follow in shots into the hoops in our rivals. WAYNE KERSTINE—Playing his third year as forward on the team. “Kersy,’’ did a fine job of winning his basketball monogram. With his three years of experience he has many expectations to live up to in his final season. LYLE PUGH—Lyle turned in several fine performances as guard this year. Lyle is a Junior and should turn into a cagey guard before many more balls flex the nets in our little gym. LAWRENCE OSBORN—A diminutive piece of dynamite with a pair of eyes like an eagle, might well describe Lawrence. Lawrenc did such flashing hither and yon on the courts in this vicinity, that his name may rank among the immortals in the M. G. hall of athletic fame. Lawrence has two years left to haunt the adversaries of M. G. High. REED DYE—A lanky young Freshman, Reed even made our own Merle look to his laurels before the season was over. Reed has an unstoppable jump shot, passes well and with a H. L. KINDRED, M. D. PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Meadow Grove, Nebraska DR. E. D. McVANEY DENTIST Norfolk, Nebraska DR. W. H.

They came through in a better form in the District and advanced to the finals after winning from Verdigre, Niobrara, and Creighton. Oakdale again defeated them in the finals. M. G. won the second place trophy and showed Oakdale a tussle. Coach Andrews is to be congratulated for the fine team he had again produced for Meadow Grove High. For six years he has turned out winning cage crews. His success in athletics is widely known. Carl “Mac” Berg acted as student manager of the Quintet this year. Receiving the brunt of much good natured kidding Carl served well in his capacity and earned his S. M. letter. He will be genuinely missed this next year. —SCORES— MEADOW GROVE 38 PETERSBURG 10 MEADOW GROVE 20 ST.

Carl Berg was chosen as president of the organization but resigned his position later, to fill the capacity of Student Manager, for the basket ball team. Pauline Catron was then given the office of President. Phyllis Yenter was the acting cheer leader at most of the games. She did a very creditable job and led the group in reusing yells for the “Scarlet and White.” The group was very colorful, garbed in black skirts, white blouses and scarlet chiffon neckerchiefs. The organization plans to purchase costumes next year and have a larger group though it will be difficult to build a peppier group than this year’s club. The project of buying things for the club, necessitates the cooperation of all the group—the students and community. The girls took turns at vending confections and fruit at the games. The patronage the community gave them was deeply appreciated. The group spurs our team onward—and is surely an asset to the School. We hope they enjoy success during their endeavors next year. G. A. A The Girls’ Athletic Association, sponsored by Miss Sieh, consisted of Luella Dearmin, Dorothy Blair, Mable Austin, LaVonne Schulze, Della Kilmer, Lena Inness, Mildred Kohl, Lctha Buffington, Eileen Berg, Mildred Schilling, Jennie Dearmin, La Gene Adams, Muriel Hamley, Inez Swarm, La-Vona Pugh, Oneita Risor, Ruth Horrocks, Twila Wamke, Sara Cunningham, Margaret Terry, Jeanne Daniels, Lucille Lewis, Darlene Mahin, Doris Carpenter, Dolly Lewis, Ilene Kaspar, Helen Lewis, Margaret Lewis, Donna Weik, Odena Lewis, Mary Jane Terry, Pauline Schilling, and Phyllis Yen-ter. This organization for purposes of aiding in development of sportsmanship, fairness, ability in athletics, and the qualities and characteristics of an all-ax-ound sport—both in and out of school. This group elected the following officers: Jeanne Daniel—President Della Kilmer—Vice-President Mildred Schilling—Secretary During the warmer months of the school year the girls played kittenball and out-door games. They held a kittenball tourney, and the losing team promoted a “hobo party” in the H. S. gym, whei'e games were played and refreshments served “hobo style.” Ping pong, basketball, volley ball and other games played in the gym kept the girls active in this group during the cold and the winter months. The girls attended the Norfolk Play Day under the Sponsorship cf Mbs Sieh. This occasion was well managed and each was given an opportunity to meet and mingle with other high school girls. In the contests and relay races the teams were made up of those possessing certain colored ribbons. After the picnic supper they were entertained by dancing and were served ice cream. Of course, on the homeward journey the representatives of the Meadow Grove High School made their presence known by cheering and singing.

NORFOLK, NEBRASKA LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE—PAT ANSTINE DRAMATICS DRAMATICS The Dramatics Club is one of the oldest organizations of the high school and was again directed by Miss West. Weeks of patient practice were rewarded by the excellent showing the group made at the local Declamatory Contest, which was held February 28. Winners of the local contest were: Jimmy Bradford—Oratorical, Carl Berg—Humorous, and Luella Dearmin—Dramatic. Other contestants in the humorous division were Phillip Gillespie, who received second place, Muriel Hamley, Odena Lewis, Sara Cunningham, Norman Krupicka, Inez Swarm and Mildred Kohl; dramatics section, Joyce Neely, who was given second place; in the oratorical division, Jerry Cloyd placed second. The winners of this contest competed in the District Contest at Wayne held March 25. Although the competition was very great, the representatives from Meadow Grove returned with honors. James Bradford received the rating of excellent, as did Carl Berg while Luella Dearmin received the rating of good. Some of the group spoke at various groups and clubs— among them James Bradford and Carl Berg who spoke at Women’s clubs and also at community gatherings. The Dramatics organization is very beneficial to the student, as he is trained how to speak before an audience and to be confident and ready to address any group. This is indeed an asset to any man—we hope that the Dramatic group of next year will number many, and enjoy the success it has had for the past few years. To Miss West goes the credit of a fine job of coaching both the Junior play and the dramatic students. CONGRATULATIONS SENIORS OF '39 “THE WHITE WAY CAFE” “Service with a smile ...... BEER .

The Operetta was sponsored by Miss Dorothy Grabenkamp and was a fine presentation entitled “Pirates of Hawaii.’’ The Glee Club had a local elimination contest at which time Pauline Catron, Wayne Kerstine, Fern Duhachek, Reed Switzer and Donna Weik were selected to represent the Meadow Grove music unit at the District Contest. Pauline Catron achieved the rating of “Superior.” Reed Switzer received the classification of “Good.” The other contestants received “Average.” Pauline has had experience and has twice achieved this high rating. The other contestants it is hoped will win laurels when experience and more vocal guidance have finished their voices to a greater degree. The Girls’ Glee Club were all garbed the same and presented a very colorful and fine looking group. They received a rating of “Good’’ at the contest. The Girls’ sextette composed of Pauline Catron, Lucille I.ewis, Donna Beth Weik, Pauline and Mildred Schilling and Muriel Hamley received a rating of “Excellent.” These results are very commendable and the representatives in any phase of music in Meadow Grove High School are to be complimented on their accomplishments. Music is an asset to a person—a school and community. The world progresses on the tune of life. Music is significant of culture—and is predominant in the higher modes of living. ... —.. ■■■■■ ■ - ■■■■■- HI-SKOOL KALENDAR Sept. 5—School Opens Sept. 10—Freshmen wear comic costumes (some fun) Sept. 15—First blood curdling Physics test!
