Memories Range From Land Marks To Class Work Nebraska Citians are proud of the achievements of their community. As the home of Arbor Day. the entire community gets involved with the parade, speakers, and dinners. Other activities are supported too. As an official Bicentennial community many projects have taken place. We decorated fire hydrants in a contest and had a Town Meeting. There is growing interest in the school. More people are concerned with the school sports and activities. More adults are using the facility for classes, meetings, and recreation. The election of ’76 has many concerned citizens running for school board. The student council and school publications have published the issue of a paved parking lot, especially since so many others use it. Your memories of high school will be as diversified as each individual. Some will think of making signs for the hig games. Others will think of looking out the window at Arbor Lodge Park while daydreaming in class. Yet others will remember pulling in sleepv-eyed every morning, to the old parking lot and tearing out as the last school bell rings. COUNTERCLOCKWISE FROM TOP: The dusty gravel parking lot is crowded and many wish that stalls could be indicated for orderly parking. Mvrna Clark and Annette Abernathy paint one of many fire hydrants brightening street corners. Steam Wagon monument on Steam Wagon Road marks a part of our proud past. Signs such as pumpkin pushers and mat rats were fun and promoted school spirit. Biology students enjoyed collecting and mounting insects. lntroduction 7
