A beautiful day but the bells sadly tolled the end of three months of wonderful vacation. Starting their ninth year together, Kay, Howard, Patty, and Pearl, with others picked up on the way began their first year of high school at Good Old Meadow Grove High. Sventeen scared little freshmen went through initiation and immerged as true and loyal Trojans. With Mr. Leamons as our guide we began our journey. Parties added variety to the regular schoolwork and in the spring we went to Norfolk to see a few of the sights. Everyone managed to struggle through Algebra and General Science but everything learned was forgotten the minute the final tests were over. We lost Arlan Mozer during the year and come back for the second lap of our journey with sixteen. Mr. Luttman was our sponsor and he brought us to the end of the year with flying colors. We sponsored the Christmas party this year. It was a lot of fun - what with baking and decorating cookies and trying to get some good entertainment ready. Of course, that was put off 'til the day before the party. With Mr. Luttman again as our guide we began our Junior year. The loss of Joyce Schlueter and Jeanie Pratt cut our number to fourteen. We presented the mystery play “Midnigth” during November. After seeing us perform the talent scouts were going to send some of the class to Hollywood but the teachers refused to part with- any of us. Patty Lewis left our ranks to become Mrs. Vertis Nathan at the end of the first semester. A colonial setting was used for the banquet which was given for the seniors in the spring. A colonial house, the garden gate, willow trees and a full moon in the sky made it very pretty with the meal eaten by candlelight. The class provided a royal guard for the seniors in an impressive candle-light ceremony at Commencement. Coming back in the fall of ‘5 1 for the lap of our journey we numbered eleven. This time we had lost Dick Terry and June Jenkins. We chose Mrs. Steffen to guide us through this eventful year. Getting the Annual made was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. In December we were entertained at a Christmas party at the home of Mrs. Steffen. Later in the year we journeyed to Norfolk to have our pictures taken. In the spring we took off on the annual “Sneak day” which was a welcome change for everyone -Seniors, underclassmen, even the teachers. The Senior class play and the banquet came and went and graduation suddenly caught up with us. When we graduated from the eight grade the time when we would be Seniors seemed a long way off but Father Time has kept the years rolling rapidly by. May we all be as successful in the years ahead of us as we have been in those past. CLASS WILL We, the Seniors of Meadow Grove High School in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-two, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this our last will and testament. I, Eugene Abrahamson, will my ability to make Mr. Merklinger say “out” in Geography class to Gary Kuchar and my nickname “Pickle” to anyone who is sweet enough to deserve it. I, Kay Botsford, will my “easy-to-keep-in-place” waves to Sharon Goulding and my whiskers to Robert Jensen. I, Bob Collins, will my favorite parking spot to anyone after 11:30— if they’re slick enough to find it — but DeVoe doesn’t go with the deal. I, Howard Ellis, will my beard to Joe Dusel and my hot rod Chevy to “Dizzy-Dean” Sanne — he’s the only other person who can drive it, I, Bob Horrocks, will all my dates to Bob Hopkins and my alibis to Jerry Daugherty — Be careful which ones you use, Mrs. Steffen knows most of them. I. Lois McClatchey. will my happy-go-lucky attitude to the poor serious minded Freshmen and my boy friend to the Junior girls if they think they can get him. I, Bob Monson, will my “cat calls” to Stanley Sanne and Jim Lewis---Watch out for Mrs. Steffen - and my nickname “Moonshine” to anyone who can’t afford to buy it. I, Joyce Synovec, will my seat near Stanley and Jim to Darlene Duha-chek so they will have somebody to pick on next year and my tall, slim figure to anyone who’ll take the nickname “Catfish” with it. I, Karen Volk, will my nickname “Cookie” to that up-and-coming Freshman, Lloyd Avfery and my daily exercises to Patty Anderson. I, Pearl Weerts, will my little feet to Bill Arrison and my A’s to Joe Sanne — Make good use of them. I, Ramona Werner, will my ability to flirt with all the boys to Lotus Weingart and my early hours (early in the morning, that is) to the Freshmen girls. To Mr. Adams we will a suitcase to carry his test papers around in because his grade book won’t hold them all. To Mrs. Steffen we will a new desk twice as large as the one she now has. To Mr. Merklinger we leave some peace and quiet. He’ll appreciate it. To Mr. Weber we will a brand new engagement ring with no strings attached. To Mr. Switzer we will a step ladder under the Study Hall clock or an accident policy if he continues to use the dictionary table. To the underclassmen we leave the teachers, or what is left of them after another year with us around. To the Juniors we leave all the seats we have torn loose in Room 8. (That includes all of them). To the Sophomores we leave the typewriters that we mistreated last year and the Juniors are mistreating now. To the Freshmen we leave the right to discard their “greenness” and become Sophomores next year. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto affixed their bands and seals on this last will and testament of the Class of ‘52. President Vice-Presidrtit Secretary-T reasurer CLASS PROPHECY Sitting relaxed. I was watching the clouds go speeding by. Here it is 1972 and election year again. Thinking about all the candidates who were “slinging mud”. I went to sleep to the gentle lulling roar of the engines. Presently I was driving down the highway. On one signboard I saw the picture of Pearl Weerts--that couldn't be my picture-but it was. Curosity made me stop to see what else it said: “Vote for Pearl Weerts for the first woman president. A man for every woman and a job for every man”. Getting the job ought to be a cinch with a promise like that. Suddenly I remembered that candidates always do personal campaiging so I started on a cross-country tour. Meadow Grove was my first stop. It is now the third largest city in the United States. Believe it or not. Kay Botsford is postmaster there. Stopping in to see him, I also saw Donna Rae Dougherty. She has been his faithful secretary for fifteen years. Kay has been trying to convince Skip that it would be nice to have her a-round the house but Skip is still undecided. Cruising up and down the streets looking for familiar names I came across a Chevrolet garage with a sign that caught my eye: “For wear and tear and whine and grind, you can’t beat a Chevy.” Howard Ellis, still as loyal to the Chevies as ever, was the proprietor. He has a thriving business, his main line being hot rods for school kids. A big black Ford pulled up beside me as I was leaving. I was really happy when I saw Joyce Synovec emerge. She is now Mrs. Warneke with trwo young sons and two beautiful daughters who constantly keep her on the run. She still has her long brown tresses which haven’t even begun to turn grey. My next stop was Denver. Seeing a large neon sign which said “Mona’s Dress Shop”, I went in to see if it coculd be Ramona Werner’s. It was. Talking with her I found that she got her man and she has her beautiful dream home which she planned in Home Ec. Of course I stopped in Hollywood to see how many of our class made it there. Going through one of the studios I ran across Lois McClatchey who is starring in a current movie. Visiting with her I found she had just returned from Paris where she had been modeling clothes in Lotus Weingart’s Dress Shoppe. Walking through the studio I heard a man singing not far away so I had the guide take me to see who it was. I was really shocked to see Bob Collins. He is a famous singing star now. A talent scout heard him when he was substituting for Jimmy Morgan back in 1955. Taking a southern route. I headed for the east coast. Before I realized it I was in South Carolina so I stopped to see if I could find Mob Monson. This seemed a logical place to find him—as close to the tobacco fields as he could get. Sure enough, he is owner of a large Old Gold Plantation but has been losing business lately. People are all taking that mile walk for a Camel because two coughs were found in a carload of Old Gold’s. Going north I stopped in Wachington to do a bit of campaigning. Was I ever shocked to find the White House painted pink! I was told that Karen Volk, now the wife of the president, had gotten tired of white so she had it painted. After reminiscing a while with her, she took me around Washington and introduced me to many important people. When I met Mr. Robert Horrocks as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, I was really surprised. He had just finished a case concerning a high school student and pep-rallies. His decision was that “cat-calls” are legal. Eating in a cafe in New York. I thought the fellow sitting across the room looked familiar. When he came over and asked if I was Pearl Weerts I knew it was Eugene Abrahamson. He is now a multimillionaire with a beautiful wife and several little “pickles” around the house. He made bis first million running Kahler's blacksmith shop. I was awakened by the stewardess to tell me we had reached our destination. I left the airplane with happy thoughts because I had just seen all the members of the Class of ‘52.

In the fall of ’51, eighteen sturdy Juniors of the original class of twenty who registered in September of ’49, again climbed the creaking steps of Old Meadow Grove High, plodding on toward their goal, “Graduation Day, 195-3.” Before the turn of the semester, we lost Delilah Sellin and Gary Schulze, but shortly thereafter, Allan Buehner joined our forces. Officers elected for the year were: President, Stanley Sanne; Vice-president, John Lewis: Secretary nnd News Reporter. Allan Buehner and Treasurer, Jim Lewis. Superintendent Howard Adams was chosen as our class sponsor. On December 4, 1951, under the able supervision of Mrs. Steffen, the combined forces of the class gave the play “Who Wouldn’t Be Crazy?”. The setting was in the courtyard of a sanitarium, just perfect 'for the characters acting. In the spring of ’52, seventeen proud and excited Juniors honored eleven graduating Seniors with an elaborate banquet. Extra-curricular activities which keptus busy were basketball, football, volleyball, baseball. Glee club. band, sextet, pep club, phiz ed. and cheerlaad-ing. Our social activities consisted of parties and lots of fun. Looking back to 1949—as twenty nervous Freshmen we ran the gaunlet of initiation, strange faces, new and different classes, stern teachers.—and we survived. Believe it or not! Then as Sophomores we came back with a little more hope and enthusiasm, bustling about our studies. But as Juniors, we have received our class rings (after we paid for them) an,d are prepared to climb our one more step to gain our goal Graduation Day. 1953”. May we all make it! Stanley Sanne John Lewis Allan Buehner Jim Lewis Lotus Weingart In the fall of '50, twenty-seven intelligent Frehsmen entered Meadow Grove High School, soon to gain the ranks as full-fledged Trojans. Mary Wesche and LaVonne Roder joined us during the year. The following fallwe were promoted to the Sophomore class—Somehow all of us managed to pass all four subjects. Mr. Weber was again our sponsor. We lost four of the members of our class; Evtangeline Verplank, Bill YYenter, Carolyn Luttman and Mary Wesche. We had several parties during the year including some sponsored by members of the class. Joe Sanne made the first ten this year and Dixie Ferry and Janice Dreger were chosen cheerleaders. We hope our last two years will be as enjoyable as the first two. Our officers are: President, Jimmy Holton; Vice President, Joe Sanne; Secretary. Joan Weerts; Treasurer, Kay O’Banion; and News Reporter, Raymond Ryan. Patty Anderson Joe Dusel Charlette Ellis Ronald Gast Jo Ann Glaze Bob McKnight Delores Nelson Roger Wieting Donna Faye Span- Dick Wyatt J anice Dreger Bill Wilson LaVonne Roder Maynard Mozer Margaret Shenshew Ronny Lewis Milan Weerts We, the Freshmen of 1951 being strong, handsome and healthy, survived Initiation Day and when we had recovered we elected officers. They are: President, Janet Warrick: Vice-President. Barbara Dreger: Secretary. Carl Mandel; Reporter, Jean Monson; and Treasuer. Jerry Daugherty. Our sponsor was Mr. Merklinger. In our first semester we had a picnic party at the yellow-banks and a skating party at Neligh. Bruce Horn was on the football team and Jerry Daugherty made the second team in the basketball squad. Our second team cheerleaders were Janet Warrick, and Jean James. We are all looking forward to the next year when we as Sophomores, can enjoy seeing the little Freshies being shocked, paddled, and drenched on their Initiation Day.

The room was decorated with the class of “51” colors. Old Rose and Silver. The scenery consisted of a colonial garden, with a brick wall and willow trees around it and an old fashioned colonial house. A stone fountain in the middle of the room ,set it off beautifully. As center pieces on the tables there were old fashioned women’s hats. Howard Ellis was toastmaster. JoAnn Avery gave a response for the seniors. There were vocal numbers, speeches, songs, and an instrumental solo to fumisb the evenings entertainment after a delicious colonial supper of chicken fried steak and all the trimmings, served by the following waiters and waitresses: Lotus Weingart. Darlene Duhachek, Jo Ann Jensen, Sherry Volk, Bob Warrick. Jim Louis. Gary Schulze. Eudell Feldmann. n o oa v (! JR. CLASS PLAY ’51 MIDNIGHT It is New Year’s Eve. The Greenwood Mansion is deserted, supposedly. But first a flashlight beams and then goes out. A man disappears up the stairway. Then Claire Greenwood (Pat L.) and Bob Morris (Kay B.) and their party guest..Betty. (Joyce S.) stumble into the dark room on a treasure hunt, and then a mysterious caretaker of the mansion. Mrs. Wick, (Pearl W.) appears and takes food to Hugh, (Bob H.) secret Government Agent in the secret room. Before long the house starts to take on all the aspects of Grand Central Station; more people walk in and out of the place—appear and disappear, sometimes mysteriously, and sometimes for perfectly logical reasons-. Miss Julia Greenwood. (Karen V.) has come out with her maid. Ellen, (Lois M.) and her chauffeur. Leonard. (Bob M.) to get away from the noise of the city. Kate Bagley (June J.) and Eddie Bower (Howard E.) come to get a ghost story for the newspaper, then a mysterious visitor appears, Mr. Smith, (Bob C.) carrying the supposedly unconcious. Paula, (Ramona W.) and gives a phony excuse of having an accident. Mr. Hardman, (Eugene A.) has always been a faithful lawyer and friend, but when he starts creeping around with a gun and gets in a tangle with Joe, (DickT.) he looks a bit doubtful. Mr. Smith says he is a G-man. but his hired assistant. Paula, finds out different. The secret room turns out to be two secret rooms, the first filled with counterfeit money to throw off suspicion. The other room was used as a laboratory for a secret formula. Eddie Bower, believed to be a newspaper man turns out to be a G-ttnan and Mr. Smith, turns out to be a foreign agent and after the secret 1 Ul lu urn. It turns out that the U. S. Government is in on the experiments with the peanuts of course, and one of the most powerful of weapons possible is put into the hands of the National Defense powers when the story is finally told in full. There is the love angel too. There is happiness ahead for Joe and Ellen, and for Bob and Claire. And this, like most every play, comes our alright in the end with everyone being happy.

The game was scoreless until the last period when Brunswick moved the pigskin to the ten yard line, and scored on an end run from there. Then Brunswick passed for the conversion and went on to a victory, 7-0. Royal was our second home game of the year. Meadow Grove got off to a good start with Collins intercepting a pass and going for the first touchdown with Sanne adding another in the last part of the first period. Sanne made another touchdown in the second period. Beginning the second half Royal kicked off. Sanne got hold of the ball and with the help of five teammates ran the kick back for a third touchdown. In the last part of the third period Horrocks battled his way over the goal for six more points for the Trojans. In the final period Horrocks threw a bullet pass to Collins and that made the last and final scoring of the game. The game ended Meadow Grove 30, Royal 0. Lettermcn for the year were Bob Horrocks, Bob Monson, Howard Ellis, Kay Botsford, Bob Collins, Bob Warrick, Stanley Sanne, Jim Lewis, Bill Arrison and Kay O’Banion. Everyone thought we had a very successful season for the first year of six man football. The prospects for next year’s team look good with eleven veterans returning. We wish them more success next year.

We were eliminated the first night in the Cornbelt Tournament by Clearwater by tho score of 81 to 38. In the District Tournament we were beaten by Battle Creek by the score of 75 to 39. Although we lost many thrilling home games in which we were ahejd at the half and should have won, we were glad the crowd appreciated our efforts enough to come back and root for us again. The money we received for playing in the tournaments this year went to a worthy cause. We bought new sailor flap warmup jackets. Promising material for next year’s team includes Joe Sanne, John Lewis, Stanley Sanne, Bob Hopkins, Jim Lewis, and Bob Warrick. The team wishes to thank the hardworking student manager tor bis spirit and cooperation in his three years of student management.

The King, Bob Hor-rocks, and the Queen, Karen Volk, were crowned. Their attendants were, left to right: Howard Ellis, Bob Collins, Kay Botsford, Lois McClatchey, Ramona Werner, and Donna Rae Daugherty. Crown bearers were: Douglas Ellis and Kay Ziehmer. A delicious meal was prepared by some of the mothers and served by the seventh and eighth grade girls. A program of musical numbers, readings, skits, speeches, and etc. was enjoyed by all. JUNIOR SENIOR BANQUET ’52 The annual Junior-Senior Banquet was held April 30, 1952, in the high school gyrn. The gym was decorated like a Hawaiian night club called “Club Tahiti A canopy of brown and white crepe paper formed an entrance to the club. Blue crepe paper streamers made a pretty sky, while a big yellow moon shone down on the guests who were seated at card tables. Hawaiian scenes decorated the walls and at either end of the stage were two realistic looking palm trees. Artificial rock walls surrounded the setting. A Hawaiian scene of a huge mountain, surrounded by palm trees, was seen at the far end of the stage facing the audience. Colored lighting added to the effect. Hawaiian music played in the background to complete the Hawaiian setting. Waiters were: Roger Weiting, Bill Wilson, Maynard Mozer, and Jim Holton, They were dressed in bright colored shirts, jagged legged trousers with “rope belts’, and -wore leis. The waitresses were: Dixie Ferry, Delores Nelson, La Vonne Roder, and Patty Anderson. They wore bright colored blouses and grass skirts; with leis around their necks and bright colored flowers in their hair and around their ankles. A dance was held afterwards at the Legion Club. It was enjoyed by all and was a fitting ending to the evening. To the Juniors and their sponsor, Mr. Adams, the mothers, and the waitresses, the seniors say “thanks.” SNEAK DAY On April 16, 1952, eleven “Homely but Happy” seniors and their sponsor Mrs. Steffen, boarded the bus for Omaha. Stopping at Fremont for breakfast we all had tomato juice and coffee. Continuing our trip our first stop was to tour Boys Town. Here we we saw many interesting things including the field house, trade school, and a wedding take place in the Chapel. Our second stop was Joslyn Memorial then the Union Pacific Museum. To see the flood waters, all the girls “Ran” up eighteen stories. At noon everyone parted and went their separate ways. With some going to shows. Fortune Tellers and others going shopping. Meeting again at the bus depot we were off for the Ice Capades. Which were very beautiful and were thoroughly enjoyed by all. GRADUATION (Left to right) Bob M., Pearl W., Kay B., Joyce S.. Eugene A., Ramona W., Bob H., Lois M., Howard E., Karen V.. Bob C., Commencement—May 13, 1952. SENIOR CLASS PLAY Distracted. Maddened. That’s what the innocent father, Jerome Haines, (Bob C.) is. And who wouldn’t be? He’s forced to live in a house with a neurotic expugilist, Clarence Weeger, (Kay B.) who starts fighting whenever a doorbell rings! And Mr. Haines is always standing near when it does ring. Not only that, but a strange Miss Cholmundeley, (Joyce S.) as dizzy and stupid as they come—has taken up her abode. It all happened on the night of the Junior Prom, when Hildy Haines, (Lois M.) cornes down with the measles, and everybody in the Haines residence is quarantined. The ill assorted couple who call on Mr. Haines (believing he is a psychoanalyst) are unfortunately in the house at the time. It is really Chuck’s (Howard E.) fault, though. Innocently enough, in testing out his printing press, he ran off some handbills proclaiming a DO YOU THINK YOU’RE INSANE-ARE YOU LOSING YOUR MIND?—SEE DR. HAINES ad that brought forth results—in the form of mental patients. Hildy can’t attend the Prom, of course; and after she and Queenie Smith, (Karen V.) had struggled so hard on the date angle, too. And now, beautiful Cousin Cora, (Ramona W.I is probably using her charms on Willie, (Bob M.) Not that Willie is such a “prize”; the girls had palmed him off on Cora in the first place, in favor of more glamorous dates. But how can a person carry on love plots when she’s measle-afflicted ? Well, there comes a time when the quarantine is lifted, and romance and youthful schemes can have a field day once more. Why to hear Queenie tell it, she and Frankie Brown, (Bob H.) are practically engaged. The pugilist-dizzy dame pair can leave, too. They’ve fallen in love in the meantime, and it isn’t long before they come trooping back to the house to announce their engagement! But the blow that just about kills everybody lands when Dr. Prescott, (Eugene A.) announces that Dr. Haines has the measles! Poor Mrs. Haines (Pearl W.) wonders what will happen next. ’ .' ■ ■■ L : v :vv v
