Meadow Grove High School - Trojan Yearbook (Meadow Grove, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 48 of the 1943 volume:

THE TROJAN published dBy THE SENIOR CLASS of the MEADOW GROVE HIGH SCHOOL MEADOW GROVE, NEBRASKA 1943 LDedication TO THOSE WHO SERVE We Seniors of ’43 are privileged to dedicate this annual to the gallant service men of this nation. The “Trojan” is representative of our school life and of the things that we have known and enjoyed throughout our high school years. Our schooling does not consist of marching, worshipping a single man or an “education for death.” It consists of the development of ideals and principles—faith in those principles. It includes independent thinking and appreciation of beauty and heroism. We are duly gratified for this chance to show our appreciation of the struggle of these men to keep alive these principles of a most precious right—that of free education.

Three months hence, twelve more thugs were tossed into the padded cells. The ring leader for the first year was Jeanette Kinne (president). Dean Mon-son (vice-president), Darlene Becker (secretary) and Patricia Werner (treasurer) were assisting gunmen. Those making a clean get away the first year were Donald Collins and Darlene Becker. Evelyn Wilson and Janice White, sentenced for four years, joined our mob. We managed to make a getaway, but after three months we were soon caught. Anne Halsey escaped our warden, Mr. Payne. For the year of 1940-1941 we chose Kenneth Galyen as ringleader, Flora Kerstine and Bob Stewart as gunmen. Jack Boyer, Janice White. La Rene Halsey, Dean Monson, and Bernice Weinberger were transferred bcause of good behaviour. La Rue Anstine was sent to Beatrice, but was sentenced to return. In the fall of '41 while glancing over our records we discovered we had only two years left. Sent up the road for a stretch of two years were Eunice Dahl, Vera Lenz, Donna Nelson, Helen Schutt, and Delores Rudnick. We, desiring some pleasure, enjoyed the play Riding High. We had two new wardens this year, namely, Miss Bastian and Miss Harsch. Ringleaders for our chain gang were Gene Phillips, Norman Hicks, and Bob Lewis. We gave a banquet for the convicts getting their paroles. After breaking rocks for three years on the hopes of higher education, we started on our last year. As final big shots, we chose Bob Lewis as president, Evelyn Wilson, vice-president, and Helen Schutt as secretary-treasurer. During the latter part of the year, feeling brave, we sneeked into Omaha, assisted by our warden, Bornhoft. This day will long be remembered by all because it was our first real taste of freedom. An outsider came in and took our pictures for the rogues gallery. We chose pink and blue as our colors, pink carnations as the flower, and Ready, Willing, and Able for our motto. We must have gone soft. Yet, we Seniors wish to say to the undergrads, that while you're in school you might be reminded of a prison, when you stop to think that you are not returning the next year, school days are really happy days. Class LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT. We, the Senior Class of 1943, of the high school of Meadow Grove, state of Nebraska, being of sound mind, and memory, do make, constitute, publish, and declare this our last will and testament. First: I, Norman Hicks, leave my surplus of Popeye Muscle to Richard Boelter. Don't let this drastic change go to your head, Rocky. I got this large increase of strength from bouncing the theater-ites out on their heads. Second: I, Gene Phillips, give my gunning days to John Hopkins. Third: I, Dorothy Ferry, leave my ability to lead the Pep Club to Joan Stewart. In case I recover my voice, you can also have that. Fourth: I, Marilyn McMillan, will my ability to teach grade children and ability to pop popcorn to La Donna Weiting. Fifth: I, Robert Stewart, bequeath my A and B gas ration book to anyone that will take my place in hauling the girls. (Flat tires included!) Sixth: I, Flora Mae Kerstine, will my blonde hair to Shirley Ann Williams. (It really comes in handy sometimes, Cracky). Seventh: I, Patricia Werner, award my title of ''Queen to Imogene Stewart. You can pick your own King. Eighth: I, Kenneth Galyen, bestow my red hair and speedy Ford to Charlie Dunivan. Ninth: I, Jeanne Lewis, bequeath my Hedy Lamarr figure to Gertrude Pfisterer. You can also have the vitamin pills. Tenth: I, Dale Inness, donate my silent running Ford (and what tires are left) to Mrs. Gaskill. Eleventh: I, Betty Hayes, gladly hand over my ability to be on the D list to anyone who feels that he knows too much for his own good. Twelfth: I, Helen Schutt, award my A's to the little Moron. Thirteenth: I, Jeanette Kinne, award my ability to sell war stamps (and bonds to the teachers) to that up and coming Pamela Sessler. Fourteenth: I, Dolores Rudnick, will my Little Gene to my sister Opal. Fifteenth: I, Donna Nelson, leave my getting to music on time to Hertha Terry. I never was more than an hour late. Sixteenth: I, Sylvia Rezac, assign my flirtatious ability with boys to Una Lee Wright. Of course you can use these, Una. Seventeenth: I, Evelyn Wilson, will my slow and cautious driving rules to Bill Osborn. Eighteenth: I, Eunice Dahl, will my way with that certain junior boy to Mary Louise Huelle. Nineteenth: I, Bethene Collins, leave my giggles to Hertha Terry, fearing the assembly would not be the same without them. Twentieth: I, Bob Lewis, award my way with women to Looey Holtman. Twenty-first: I, Virginia Apfel, bestow my ability to date Tilden boys to Isabelle Munger. Lastly: I, Vera Lenz, will my 177 pounds and my ten day diet to Marjorie Johnson. P. S. The diet doesn't work. My mother was always having trouble with either my father or the furnace. Every time she would watch one, the other would go out. CWhat CWill the tyea'is B ing? The time is 1953, ten years after the graduation of our esteemed Senior class. Let us look into the lives of our old classmates and find out just what they are doing at this time. Virginia Apfel resides in New York. She is a ballet dancer and is tiptoeing on the stage every evening. Eunice Dahl's romance blossomed into maturity. As a result, Arlie, Artie, Arkie. Bethene Collins is still in the old Maids Home. She is waiting for Sadie Hawkin's day. She missed it last time, had the mumps. Dorothy Ferry enticed a multi-millionaire, age 79. He has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. Kenneth Galyen is now the proud possessor of the Meadow Grove Marble Hall. Business isn't very rushing. His pals are in the army. Norman Hicks has now taken over Elmer Werner's undertaking parlor. Eileen Werner has taken over Hicks. Flora Mae Kerstine is successor to Albert Tangora (world typist champion). She netted the score of 150 words per minute in a fifteen minute test. Jeanette Kinne achieved the status of author. She is writing volumes on How to Reduce. Betty Hayes is married to the lad in the army. Now she is taking care of all those little commandos. Dale Inness has been at Wayne State for ten years trying to get his Bachelor of Arts degree. No doubt he will continue to be a bachelor and show the girls his arts. Vera Lenz is now co-starring with Gargantua in Ringling Brothers Circus. Jeanne Lewis is married to Buzz and raising chickens; she gets $1.50 a week for eggs. -11- Donna Nelson is teaching wrestling. She is demonstrating her new Vi Nelson. Sylvie Rezac is still in California frozen to Lockheed Airplane factory. Bob Stewart obtained the position of a burlap sarge. He is swapping out guns for the army. Patricia Werner is still in Meadow Grove. She is manager of the lingerie department in the other half of Yenter's store. Bob Lewis proclaims to be a second Atlas. He is selling his lessons a dime a dozen. Marilyn McMillan dwells in Africa and teaches the natives how to design clothing. What clothing? Rusty Phillips is still unmarried. He is judging a beauty contest waiting for a Betty Grable, Lana Turner, and Hedy Lamarr combined. Dolores Rudnick is still singing lullaby's, the name is To My Gene's. Helen Schutt has been teaching school the past ten years. She has advanced from Mt. Hope and is now teaching in Meadow Grove High. Evelyn Wilson is now a registered nurse. She took the First Aid course seven times. —Too bad. He was a window washer and he stepped back to admire his work. —Out of the millions of marriages all through the centuries, scientists have proved that fifty per cent of the couples were men.

In the fall of 1942, eighteen sophomores, still rather shy from their freshman year, stumbled into the assembly and timidly found their seats, then felt rather foolish when they were moved. The class selected the following officers: Opal Rudnick .................................... President Rachel Lewis.................................Vice President Mary Lou Terry Secretary-Treasurer One new student, Richard Boelter, entered our class. Three students left us. These were Kathleen Lewis, Helen Lyalls, and Duane Collins. The subjects offered to the sophomores are English, geometry, world history, and geography of Nebraska. 14- 'uslvnen BACK ROW.

Jim and Dean McClatchey departed from our class roll; the second semester found us with a minority group of nine. Of special importance to us was freshman initiation. We withstood the caprices and tricks of our domineering seniors and concluded that we can take it. ATHLETICS ★ £Basketball The basketball season of 1942-43, began with a number of wins scored by the Trojan quintet. Four letter men returned to the team. Coach Weik selected for the Meadow Grove five, Gene Phillips and Kenneth Galyen, gucxrds; Bernard Osborn and Robert Lewis, forwards; Arlie Novotny, center. Two other players were Duane Lieswald and Donald Ballard. Gene Rusty'' Phillips, a three letter man was selected as one of the big ten in the Cornbelt Tourney, 1942-43. He was also selected big ten in the Class B. Tournament for 1943. His graduation will leave a place hard to fill the next season. Kenneth Al Galyen, proved an excellent player and passer during his basketball days. He also earned three letters and will be missed next year. He was selected as one of the big ten in the Cornbelt Tourney in 1943. Bob Snuffy Lewis, a two letter man, though cheated in size, made many a player shiver in his boots. He is strong on the defense. Bernard Harry Osborn has three years of experience. This player, who has a keen eye for the basket achieved high score for this season A three year letter man, he is expected back next year. Arlie Skinny Novotny played his first year of basketball and proved a credit to the squad. Much will be expected of him next year. Duane Greasy Lieswald will advance from a substitute to a regular in the 1943-44 season. Donald Moon Eyes Ballard also played sub. for the Trojan quintet. Last and least, is student manager, Dale Big Dick Inness. He's been a faithful fellow to the team for 2 years and will be hard to replace. The Meadow Grove team attended the Cornbelt Tournament, February 10 and 11. In the first round of the contest, Meadow Grove overcame Clearwater. Their second opponent, Battle Creek, downed the Trojans, placing them ni the consolation game. Meadow Grove bought home the fourth place trophy. -17- basketball In the District Tourney the fellows didn't fare so good, although they were in the lead three-quarters of the game. This final game for the three senior lettermen ended at 25 to 19 in favor of the Elgin hotshots, who went on to win this tournament. Best luck to the squad of next year, and a thank you to our Coach Weik. BACK ROW: Arlie Novotny, Bill Osborn, Gene Phillips, Kenneth Galyen, Bob Lewis.
