Nebraska Christian High School originated in 1958, first in the minds of some of Nebraska’s Christian busi- nessmen who became burdened about the educational and spiritual welfare of their teen-agers. The school opened its doors the fall of 1959 to receive the 38 students who enrolled. “Growth” has been a_ keynote through the years. The campus has grown by adding three buildings to the three already existing. The NC family has grown to the present student body enrollment of 115, a staff of 19, and an alumni body of 200. Growth has especiai- ly been emphasized in the spiritual lives of the staff and students as each class and activity has sought to draw each one nearer the One Who created and called them. . the way of life NC students have chosen. Students are here to benefit from the Christian philosoph y of ed- ucation and to keep Christ in the proper place in the daily curriculum.

This year Mr. Sawyer has been administrative assist- ant to share some of the responsibilities, and in doing so he has assumed charge of the dining hall program. Duties Mr. Ediger and Mr. Sawyer share fall into many categories. They work with the curriculum, constantly trying to improve the teaching program, and direct the activities of the school. Publicity is their concern as they promote the school and its pro- gram. The administration is in complete charge of the financial program, and they budget and distribute the money received. Problems of various natures fall into their hands. Life is full for the administration! Slogans and mottos have been used by every kind of organization for as long as man meaningful words in- scribed on cornerstones or on the coping on buildings Armies have rallied to battle around a challenging slogan. Countries have claimed national character and have declared it with a meaningful phrase describing this character. Our states have likewise adopted in Latin) that loyal resi- memorized at some time or conceivable can remember. You will see teresting phrases usually in dents of the state have other When pondering these slogans, mottos or what- ever tith one is impressed that the importance of such a motto is usually related to the origin of the organization originating it. It does not necessarily describe the “present” character of the organization. “In God We Trust” is found on our Is this testimony meant today in the way it was meant when it was decided to place it on the coin? These things have a way of dying and becom- ing re lics rather than remaining something challeng- ing to keep alive a very important aspect of the organization or device best fits the phrase coins Nebraska Christian High School is completing ten years of existence. These ten years have seen this school without an official motto. Perhaps this is good. Perhaps now we need to ask, “Why has this school existed ten years?” Instead of being able to point to a motto in indicating that we are striving to fulfill the challenge of a certain phrase, we rather analyze what we see and conclude that there is a reason for exist- ence. This reason automatically becomes a sort of motto—a living motto, Would it not be true that when reviewing the past ten years and seeing what God has done and what it is that has caused the school to go on, that the motto would naturally be “In God We Trust”? —Walter O.

School Life School life here at NC is somewhat different from that of a public school. Instead of a six-hour day of school, it might be said the majority of us are at school twenty-four hours a day. Our day begins with a rude awakening just as the sun begins to rise above the horizon. After a time for waking-up and devotions, we head to the dining hall for breakfast. By now the day is in full swing. After breakfast students hurry here and there, some back to their rooms to clean and some to band class. About forty-five minutes later, the classes begin. Between first and second hours, however, we have the chapel service. This half hour is the most unique part of the average school day. How many students can meet and come face to face with God’s Word? As the day continues, we finally approach noon. After dinner and a short break, we again return to the classroom. When the last bell of the afternoon finally rings, students head for their different activities. These include sports, studies, and student work. As six o'clock ap- proaches, a crowd again begins to form out- side the dining hall. Supper is followed by study hall or music practice time. After private devotions in our room, many tired people fall sleepily into bed. But for unlucky people, the lights burn on as undone studies must be finished for the next day. So as you see, life is very full here at NC and for most, very rewarding. Class time? Mail time? News time? Guess who wrote?!!! S]-0-0-oh-wer Ain’t I grand?!! Howdy!

More frequent, planned social activities come in the form of weekly _ socials. Study halls Wednesday evenings are dismissed early to give a social hour.

It took long hours of work, but it unified the junior class and honored the graduating class in a special way that night. The hosts and guests were ushered through an arcade into a Grecian garden bordered by pillars and centered by a foun- tain. The speaker's table was set on a platform under the scroll-like motto “So Run That Ye May Obtain,” (II Corin- thians 9:24).

A poster contest between the four classes was held during the pro- gram. The posters were to represent the classes in some way.

Why? The Diplomat staff goes down and invades it! The home ec room invaders put out the school paper once every three weeks during the school year. If everyone turns up, they discuss layouts, head- lines, and news. There’s a lot of work in it, including reminding reporters of deadlines, gathering the news articles together and arranging them fer printing. Over 900 of the school papers are sent to persons off campus. A lot of licking and stapling go into getting the papers ready to send, but when the paper comes out, students and teachers as well are observed standing all over in halls, on the sidewalk, just every- where—reading the finished product.

The contest began on October | and the competition was set up between the four classes. Each class started out as slave and could work up to a serf, merchant, knight, or King by selling enough Dip- lomats and Reflectors. After three weeks, during which there were some exciting experiences, the contest closed and the results were made known. King Solomon, the Seniors who won the crown, out- did all his competitors with a record high of 527 points. Simon of the sophomore class was second with 346 points followed by Jason the Juniors with 278 and Frederick the Freshmen, with 174 points. In all 81 Reflectors and 910 Diplomats were sold for a total of 1276 points which was also a new record. Individual prizes were also presented at the October dress-up dinner. A party sponsored by the Diplomat and Re- flector staffs was given in honor to the contest win- ners, the Seniors, October 31. The party was held at the John Campbell farm. The winners were es- corted through a “haunted” barn. Games were played and refreshments served. Devotions took place around a camp fire, and the group sang songs and gave testimonies. The results of hard work are being turned in.

They must teach those who are out for sports how to excel in them, as well as be a good testimony to the other team in their playing. The coaches direct the teams and are partially responsible for the re- sults of the games they play. The coaches must set an example and see that each member of the team is stay- ing in the right relationship to Christ. Prayer meetings are held by the coaches Friday mornings when there are basket- ball or volleyball games. Thus the job of coaching is much more than just watch- ing the teams play. Coaches -Managers Russ Goemaat - Torrey Notz Student managers are one of the mainstays of the team. Their job ranges from washing towels and iron- ing uniforms to taping and wrapping ankles and caring for various in- juries. They are required to set up the equipment, take care of the equip- ment, and see that everything is there that is needed at practices and at games. The busiest time cf their job is usually during the basketball and volleyball season. Softball Back row: R. Van Meter, C. Ward, A. R. Murray, D. Ehrenberg, P. Edi A. Vv Hammer, D. Hermsmeyer, D.

Choir Officers Mr. Kay Sawyer, director; Ken Ru- besh, president; Judy Hampton, secretary “R-r-ringing, —_r-r- ringing, in my heart the bells of joy, songs of love and _ grace employ. . . .” This is only one of the many songs the choir is singing and enjoying this year. Although the choir is singing most of the time, it may even shout! Even a sour note is heard occa- sionally (?), and some- times laughter comes forth from the music room. The choirs laughing may be for several different reasons: Mr. Sawyer may be in an awkward stance, someone may have goofed so loudly everyoné else heard it, the enunciation of a word may have sounded funny, or even a roll call—like saying “I do” if you’re present! Choir tours are the reason for the choir’s preparation and are anticipated with enthusiasm. Amusing things happen to tour members. Some may get locked in their bedroom, or have the “privilege” of changing diapers (just to be helpful), or have the chance to visit some place of interest nearby the town where they are singing. Being in choir is a lot of work, but it’s enjoyable and a way to use the singing ability God gave to each one to sing praises to Him and witness to others. Goemaat, J. Hampton, R. P. Harder, M.

Trumpet Trio Tap tap tap—boom—clang—toot—clink—crash crunch—squeak—tweet. These are only a few of the noises that come from the band room at 8:00 each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning. With a band of 38 members even sweet music can come forth. Music is played that ranges from Tschaikowsky to Sousa. Instrument- ation ranges from the tiny piccolo to the big tuba and sousaphone, Pep band directors range from tiny Gene Rubesh to big Mr. Sawyer. The pep band plays at home games and Mr. Sawyer has the job not only of directing but also of gathering up the persons who are to play. When looking, he might find them sell- ing candy, keeping score, checking coats, or just wondering around. When all are together, the band begins with a peppy march to help lift spirits and entertain all who attend the game. B. Schwenk; A. Weiss; P. Ediger; S. Williams, Accompanist.

Schwenk, and Mr. Smith, Skipping classes isn’t a very popular idea at NC, but when it comes to skipping class for a Gospel Team meeting, most teachers don’t mind. Each Monday during alternating periods the Gospel Team meets in the gym to discuss different topics. The book We Would See Jesus by Roy and Revel Hession was studied. Each week one of the Gospel Team mem- bers led in the discussion of the chapter and demon- strated several quite original ways of presenting the chapters. The Gospel Team members are often asked to re- present the school at a church service, or youth rally, or even old folk’s homes. In addition, the Gospel Team represented the school at a Salvation Army service in Hastings and also at Kearney in the Boys’ Training School.: At Christmas time they passed out tracts in Grand Island. Gospel Team is a way of coming closer to the Lord through study of His Word and service to others. 77 Testimonies VICTORIOUS LIVING 43. The Lord has shown me many truths from His Word this year. I have come to realize I can do nothing, but in only letting the Holy Spirit work through me can the Lord’s will be done. A verse that has come to mean much to me is Philippians 4:6: “. . . in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” 44. This year at NC has been one big spiritual blessing to me. The Lord has helped me in my class work, and He has also made it possible for me to have a spiritual victory no matter what happens. I am thankful I have such a friend like Him. 45. The Lord is so wonderful. It wasn’t until I came to NC that I really began grow- ing in my Christian life. This year I have learned to yield completely to Him and to trust in Him for everything. I fail constantly it seems, but no matter how often I do, God's mercy endures. A verse that thrills me over and over is found in Psalm 48:14: “For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.” 46. About two weeks before Christmas, I had a long talk with God and gave my body back to the Lord because of coming to this school. NC has helped me become a better Christian. The two Bible verses I took this year are Matthew 7:7 and 8: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” 47. Upon arrival here at NC I wasn’t sure what to expect. Later through the guid- ance of teachers and the special devotional times set aside for me each day, I came to know the Lord much better. This year my roommate and I have our devotions together, and this has been a blessing as well as a help. I just thank the Lord for everything He gives so freely. 48. My testimony is that I really praise Him for th blessings He gave me this year at NC and for my talents. I hope to use my abilities for Him in the days to come. 49. This year here at NC has been one of my best years in school. The Christian atmosphere and fellowship with other Chris- tian kids is great. ’'m sure opportunities will increase as I continue the next three years here. CHAPTER 10 1. Words could never explain the bless- ing and fellowship I've had with the Lord at NC this year. I strayed away from Him for some time, but through a week of suspen- sion, I realized how messed up my Christian life had become. I am thankful for the dedicated faculty here and for how the Lord worked through them to get me back in fellowship with Him 2. These years at NC have meant a lot to me. I'm thankful for parents who con- sidered my future important enough to make sure I had good Christian training now. As we learn and study we see how fast the world around us is changing. It seems we are growing up to a world of restlessness and shifting sand. Two verses which have meant a lot to me are Hebrews 13:8: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever,” and Matthew 24:35: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” How wonderful it is for an opportunity not only to learn of our changing world but also to learn of the One Who is the firm foundation. 3. My four years at NC have been a great challenge, and I have been greatly blessed with the reading of the Word daily and the personal life we can experience with Him. I have been drawn closer to Him, and He has become so real to me. 4. As we go from day to day and trial to trial, and as the world goes from crisis to crisis, we see even more the truth of such verses as Matthew 6:38: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you,” and I Corinthians 1:9; “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” Praise God that we have this source of strength and comfort in “times like these.” 5. I feel that the last couple of years at NC have meant more to me than anything. I think that each one of us here should be very happy that we can come to a Christian high school and learn more about the Lord so that we can go out and tell others about Christ and what He has done for us. A verse I have chosen is in I Samuel 15:22; “And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.” G. I was saved when I was about nine years old. At a meeting one night a mission- ary was preaching, and that night I raised my hand, but after the meeting I didn’t go up. My father had seen me raise my hand, so when we got home I asked the Lord to come into my heart and rule my life. He did, and to this day I can thank Him for leading me wherever I go.

This also protects the rake teeth from breakage. @ Another feature that protects the teeth is springs on the holddown, which absorb much of the shock and strain on the teeth. @ One double-acting hydraulic cylinder easily operates the rake. @ This is the rake that has made all other rakes obsolete, and has found favor with farmers and ranchers alike. Kake, in operating position TRANSPORTATION — NO PROBLEM It takes only seconds to change this rake from operating position to transport position. To transport the rake. the tractor is disengaged from the main tongue, which is then lifted to an upwardly position. The tractor is then engaged to a short tongue which is assembled to one of the end wheels. This wheel is locked in position by means of a pin when the rake is in operating position. (See picture at left.) The opposite end wheel locks in two posi- tions, one for raking, the other for transportation. The center wheels are caster wheels, and auto- matically assume the position the rake is being pulled. The rake is only about 8 ft. wide when be- ing transported, and can be pulled by car or pick- up at least 50 miles per hour. Simple Mechanism changes to transportation position Ready to be moved anywhere MANUFACTURED BY FREEMAN ROWSE SO BURWELL, NEBRASKA 68823 22 MILES NORTH OF BURWELL, NEBR., ON HIGHWAY NO. 11 PHONE 348-2276 U.S. Patent No. 3,240,005 — Canada Patent No. 739,671 ee TONER a.
