Norfolk High School - Milestone Yearbook (Norfolk, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1943 volume:

JOHN SHIN EDITOR fl [ I I 1 1 - J 1 The Scotch atmosphere that pervades the 1943 Milestone runs deeper than meets the eye. Economy minded staff members selected this theme because 1943 was a year of economy. Patriotic high school students saved everything that could help the war effort—waste paper, scrap iron, rubber, tin cans, and money for war stamps and bonds. They learned to avoid wasting gasoline, tires, food, and time. Good times were had in 1943, but an undercurrent of sober realism could be detected among students--some of whom went directly from school to the field of battle—as they worked day and night in collecting more than 200,000 pounds of scrap. So in using the thrifty Scotch as the thome of this book, the staff has attempted to place emphasis on one of America's groatost weapons in this war of freedom—the ability and willingness of her people to save, to savo America. 111% BOCK ¥M§ li ll North Africa was invaded by the United States, while Russia surprised us all by holding off Germany, Stamp and bond sales, scrap drives, stepped-up school programs were all characteristic of this year’s schooling. Teachers resigned to go to war work, or to the armed forces. Draft laws were passed for 18-year-olds. Republican gains in Congress showed that bi-partyism was not dead, but quibbling prevailed at Washington. Sugar, coffee, gasoline, fuel oil, shoes, cammed goods, and meat were rationed, and the government raised taxes to take care of surplus money. The Alcan highway opened for Army use. Willkie went abroad to study the war, and Roosevelt conferred with Churchill at Casablanca about war plans. Juvenile delinquency soared sky-high. Alexander Woollcott died suddenly. Mrs. Miniver caused floods of tears. White Christmas was a song hit of the nation. That was in 1942-43—remember?

V TO THE CITY OF NORFOLK—ITS PEOPLE AND ITS ENTER WE DEDICATE THE 1943 MILESTONE A1CC0RDINC IC a P.B.: Another year of Norfolk High School history has been written. The 1943 Milestone is the story of high school people and high school events. Of current interest today, it will be of historical interest tomorrow. No better history could have been written. My heartiest congratulations to Sponsor Kenneth McIntyre, Editor John Steen, and the staff members. They have produced an unusually fine book. The 1943 Milestone will be a memorable one. It has been produced during the gravest days in our history since the Civil War, It will preserve for us the history of youth in a war age, the story of a high school being buffeted by forces created by a world at war. The book is unique. Nover beforo has a Milestone oontained stories of scrap drives or tin can drives. The words ration and jeep have probably never before been montionod in such a publication. Never beforo has a iilostone had for its theme - Economy . It is very fitting that such a theme be followed. Thrift, always an important and desirable trait, now becomes a must trait. Wo must save as nover before. We must not only save? we must salvago what we have thrown away. We have been in the habit of discarding seemingly worthless articles. Now we learn that many of the things we hove thrown away are valuable. The lowly tin can, the empty, twisted tooth paste tube, the grease in the bottom of the skillet—all prove to be not only valuable, but vitally important in our struggle to save democracy. It appears, then, that it's smart to be thrifty. If it's smart to be thrifty in connection with material things, how much snorter it must bo to be thrifty in connection with certain more intangible things. Perhaps we should give thought not only to saving tin cans and tooth paste tubes, but also to preserving and dovoloping our bodies, our time, our religious and moral opportunities, Evory timo we stay up late at night we waste valuable hours of sleep and rost, Whon wo wasto thoso hours, we are at the same time wasting potentiol energy and labo . When wo forget to go to church or think upon spiritual or moral matters, we waste an opportunity to develop an important side of our lives. When we pass up an opportunity to smile at an acquaintance, we lose the chance of gaining a friend. It appears, therefore, that tnore is more than one way of being a spendthrift. Those who planned and wrote this book not only had in mind economy of naterial things, but also economy of those more important personal qualities and traits just mentioned. You night possibly get along without tin cans, without twisted tooth paste tubes, even conceivably without money. You can t get along without health, without friends, without spiritual and moral development. It's smart to be thrifty.

SYNCOPATING SAGA Oh, here's to a year of toil and cheer, 1943, And a Senior class that doth all surpass (as any fool can see), These were the tines when dollars and dines in bonds and stamps were sunk, When many a tongue glad tidings brung, and many a thought was thunk. When goofy blokes told moron jokes, and listened to the same, And frightful slacks, like gunny sacks, adorned the female frame. And just as bad was the horrible fad, when several big galoots Disturbod us all in study hall, with ten-pound cowboy boots. When the khaki suit, and not the zoot, was whak the well-dressed wore. When America's foes stopped raining blows (and it ain't gonna rain no morel) When Mussolini, erstwhile meanie, feared for dear old Rome, And Franklin D. put out to sea—-and Eleanor stayed at homel Some high school lads, and many grads, for army life embarked, And the rest of us kids, as the draft board bids, are also thusly marked. Full steam ahead, the Seniors led, in a smash-up scrap campaign. The scrap flowed in, the war to win, and the Juniors writhed in pain. The Senior pace in the Hare and Hound race gave them plenty causo to be vain, While the Junior crowd, once happy and proud, found their spirits on the wane. The football was fine, the boys hit the line, and ended fourth in the state. The follows did swell, so let's give a yell, for those who really rate. At basketball too, they really came through, and at Lincoln played in the tourney, There Benson they met, and really got set--but anyway, they had the journey. Our bandmon Welch, we tried to squelch, for wearing his big fur coat, It passed for raccoon, but we'd just as soon bot it never was more than goat. When things grow still, as they sometines will, a fad left us all in a quandary, It swept the school (leaving some quite cool) but it all came out in the laundry. The fad was this--did I hear a hisst—boys signed each other's trousers, And wielding pencils, they drew crude stencils of Bunnies looking at Bowsers. This hectic year, not lacking cheer, is ending no at last, The Seniors are leaving, their diplomas receiving, the curtain's falling fast, The Axis' neck is gonna get heck) we're going to show 'em how To fight a war, and furthermore, we're going to end this rowj by John Steen and Loyd Wagnor VIIS Of ffOIJf OlMMICNi May, 1943! Commencement—the last step of our high school careers, is about to take its toll. Now to go forth in tho world to mako our fortunes and to sproad our namos to tho ends of the oarth. We seniors, tho most illustrious upporclassmon, will mako our mark felt, ' o fool that we aro quito roady for tho uncertain futuro which lios ahoad, thougn wo do not know what our dostiny will bo. In rotrospoct, wo shall toko a glimpso into the past. It was wondor-ful, those first few days ns freshmen. Soon tho oxcitoment and tho fascination of this now life vanished and a sort of foar took its placo. As sophomores, wo bocamo quito loquacious. By tho timo wo wero juniors, wo woro more daring and onnisciont. Now wo wero well on tho road upward. At last, as seniors, wo were more sure of ourselves. But as commoncomcnt reared its hoad, we obsorvod tho unrost that had come over tho studonts. What did it moan? Only that wo woro about to stop into tho turnoil of a busy world. Tho school year was started with tho election of tho following officorst Jack Farnor, president; John Busch, vice-presidont; Margarot Perry, socrotary; and Donna Dickinson, treasuror. The following girls woro elected N'Ergottos both semesters Lorraino Beckonhauor, Donna Dickinson, Marjorio Fuoslor, Janico Grauel, Marilyn Hoopnann, Juno Korb, Phyllis Millo, Margaret Porry, and Jo Ann Platt. Minuto Mon choson woro Bill Burgan, John Busch, John Carson, Art Dodorman, Joe Ralston, Bob Reckort, Bill Ring, John Ryan, and Loyd Wagnor. Socond sonostor officors woro; John Busch, president; Bob Anderson, vico-prosident; Marjorie Fuoslor, treasurer; and Margaret Perry, secretary. Tho Minuto Mon woro; Bill Burgan, John Busch, John Carson, Art Dod-ornan, Bob Phillips, Joo Ralston, Bob Rockort, Bill Ring, and John Ryan. Tho only Minuto Man all eight semesters was Joo Ralston. Wo eninont soniors have distinguished ourselves by excelling in waatover wo undertook. Last yoar the class won the Haro and Hound Raco and Fiold Day, as woll as winning both contosts and the colossal scrap drive this yoar. Wo seniors participated in all activities—athletics, organizations, nusic, dramatics, and tho publications staffs. All in all wo havo had fun, ovon though we sat up nights just boforo exau6 and tried to cron ovorything wo supposedly had loomed into our already ovor-burdonod crania. But ns luck would havo it, we enorged from the uproar and confusion on top. Lost Horizon, presented by tho senior class on May 4, was a tremendous success. Its splendid cast included Victoria Blntt, Donna Dickinson, Marjorio Fuoslor, Avror. Groon, Bob Gunsolloy, Maryann Hanson, June Korb, Farald Mauk, Barbara Palner, Bill Ring, John Ryan, Larry Skalowsky, Prudonco Sloan, Ln Vorno Sponco, Loyd Wagnor, Don Wollschlagor, and Bill Wioting. Duano Buottow, Don Hanson, and Jack Leodon graduated in sunnor school last yoar, but thoir picturos and writeups woro not available.

You bet it wasn't the majority of the junior class. Most of us, realizing that we do have only one year left at NHS, are recapturing and locking away in our hearts the many pleasant memories of tho junior year. For instancoi Remember whon Miss McGilvrey hold tryouts for tho junior class play, Tons of Money, and all the girls wanted to be Jean, the little flirt, tho part Dorothy Ward finally took ovor7 And tho timo wo had getting boys to play a couplo of those parts? Finally, wo almost had to draft them, and they wero roally good in their parts. Thon, of courso, there was TJillie Lindsteadt who can bring on tho laughs almost any time or any place. Charles Howser, Sally Laws, Pat Haldorman, Konnoth Funk, Bob Scverin, and Jim Harkrnder wero also superb as tho supporting cast. We didn't do so well in that Hare and Hound race, but we did have a lot of fun. Imagino our surprise whon we got to the end of the trail (at the Country Club) to discover that the seniors had tired of waiting and had gono back to tho school gym, whore they wero already eating the refreshments! So we trudged woarily back. But the refreshments stimulated us a triflo, as did the razzing wo roceived. We bought our class rings this year in spite of tho war handicaps, and proudly display them as the symbol of tho class of '44. Bocauso of food rationing, wo, the juniors, although to the disappointment of most of the boys, decided to have an informal prom instead of a bonquot. Tho seniors heartily agreed to tho plan, and everything wont along as scheduled. The sonior swootheart was chosen by the uppor-classmon. Dick Minor was oloctod prosidont of the junior class for the first semester; Donna Rohder, vice-prosidont; Susan Weber, secretary; and Dorothy Beckonhnuor, treasurer. N'Ergottes wore Elaine Asmussen, Dorothy Beckonhauer, Lois Klug, Donna Rahder, Donna Hass, Susan Weber, and Dorothy Ward. Our junior class elected as Minute Men: Phil Cornell, Bob Saogor, Bob Power, Gene 3riard, Leo Harrison, Lylo Bontz, and Gono Honzlik. Officers for the second soaestor wero as follows: Bill Ballow, president; Joan Chilquist, vice-president; Jane Pollack, secretary; and Bill Nicholas, treasurer. Those whom we elected as N'Ergottes the second semester wero Elaine Asmussen, Dorothy Bockonhauor, Lois Klug, Donna Rahdor, Donna Hass, Susan Webor, and Dorothy Ward—the same as last sonestor. Minute Men wero; Dan Deibler, Charlos Howser, Bill Nicholas, Bob Power, Bob Saogor, Bob Sov— erin, and Gone Briard. Carole Haines and Bud Wollam were cheerleaders both this year and last yoar. Bud was hoad cheorleader this year. Junior sponsors wore Mr. Egloy, Miss Zook, Miss Hyde, and Mr. Rohn. SCPH-SID IIE c. SAC I We, the class of 1945, having survived our freshmen year, are now almost ready for the end of our second and last year as underclassmen. By now, we are really getting used to good old NHS--its problems, worries, successes, good times, etc. Even dating appears to be more of a habit and privilege than it was during our first year as bashful frosh. We have entered into tho school's activities; Hi-Y, school dances, band, publications, chorus, athletics, and every other kind of extra curricular work. As sophomores of NHS during 1943, wo are right proud of our class. Mack Bobinson was the only one of us in first team basketball, and he was second high scorer on the squad, with 101 points during the season. In the scrap drivo, wo donatod 75% of our hard-earned monoy to the Bed Cross, with no littlo satisfaction. We sponsorod one danco during the first scmostor, and it wont ovor successfully. Wo also sponsored a pep rally for tho Columbus game, which the Panthers won, Wo oloctod the following officers to represent us during the first semesters Don Hamilton, president; Margaret Balston, vice-president; Mary Jano Beckonhaucr, secretary; and Jim Landors, treasurer. The E'Ergettes wore; Mary Jane Beckonhaucr, Jeanette Klug, Margaret Williams, Betty Bonnot, and Margaret Balston. As Minute Mon we oloctods Vornon Boll, Ed Burgan, Keith Deuel, Jim Landers, and John Bahder. The officers whom wo olectod the second semester with as much exx— thusiasm ns before wore: Mack Bobinson, president; Margarot Balston, vice-prosident; Shirley Bockowoy, secretary; and Margaret Williams, treasurer. Mary Jane Beckonhaucr, Botty Bonnet, Jeanette Klug, Margarot Bal-ston, and Shirley Bockowoy woro elected N'Ergottes; and the Minute Mon weres Vernon Boll, Ed Burgan, Byron Hooper, Jim Landors, and Earl Skalow-sky, Tho sophomore sponsors for this year included Miss Walker, chairman, and Miss Brauor, Miss Gordon, and Mr, Kildoo.

CREEN--B1JI IIPININC 8H5 o'clock, the 8th day of the 9th month, and all of us were in our classes, hoping and praying we'd live through that first terrifying day. Came second period, and each Tom, Dick, and Harry jumped out of his seat, searched frantically for that most valuable schedule card, and, having secured it, rushed out the door to learn from some passing upperclassman what floor 314 or 209 was on, And so on through that first memorable day. How we have grown more accustomed to our surroundings, and no longer shudder under tho direct gaze of the mighty senior, $o realize that our freshman days are about ovor, and, although we leave them with a certain amount of regret, yet we clamor for a still more successful sophomore year, Marvin Christians is the only student in our class to bo on the rogular basketball team, which i6 exceptional, as freshmen seldom letter. Marvin lettered at center. The freshman team, as a whole, was profitably coached by Fred Egley this year, and we hope some of these boys make the first team next year. Our pep rally resulted in the victory ovor South Sioux, doubling the score. That was the day everyone stayed in the classrooms and yelled at the sano time. That just showed the effect the shouting had on the game. Wo didn't sponsor a dance this year, not bocause wo hadn t planned to, but bocause tho Thespians wished to have the dance for that Friday—-which was okay with us. Our class took part in the scrap drive very enthusiastically, as did tho sophoDorcs, juniors, and seniors, and we donated 50 6 of our profit to the Hod Cross. If you saw a very small NHS boy dragging a heavy pioco of motal to. school, it was probably Hornan (Junior) Schilling. By tho way, ho's tho only freshman cheerleader, too. Officers for the first semester wore: Marvin Christians, president} Bob Farner, vico—president; Janet Carden, secretary; and Ward Cunsolley, treasurer, Boverly Anstino, Patty Borge, and Janet Hass wore elected H'Ergettes by the frosh; and Doyle Busskohl, Ward Cunsolley, and Russell Simpson woro chosen Minuto Mon. Marvin Christians was elected president again the second senestorj Bob Farner, vico—president; Noma Hoef6, secretary; and Ward Cunsolloy, treasurer. The H'Ergettes wore Beverly Anstino, Feggy Hansen, and Janot Hass; the Minute Men, Bill Bridge, Ward Cunsolley, and Bob Kiestor. The freshman sponsors for the year were Miss Inogeno Pollatz and Coach Los France.

And this corn is still definitely on the cob. They can raise enough cain and sprout enough corn in a 15-minute pep rally to satisfy even Mr. Kildee. They not only save points on vegetables; they even havo one member of thoir staff who could go a long ways toward solving the meat situation. John Carson provod this when ho pulled a rabbit out of his high silk hat. Thoir purposo is always accomplished in theso little sessions, and that's all that really mattors, A student body with no enthusiasm spells a losing team. When they have the students taken care of, they carry the campaign to the business men in their season ticket sale. By the time they got through, the team should be fairly well started on the road to victory. Mr. Sayor is tho sponsor behind this successful group. First semester officers were: president, John Ryan; vice-president, John Busch; secretary, Hobart Reckert; treasurer, Bill Ring. Second semostcr officors wore; president, John Ryan; vice-prosidont, Joe Ralston; secretary, 3d Burgan; treasurer, Bill Burgan. II El EE ID m CN Four of our smallest people have the biggest feet. At least that's the way it seoms, because they certainly fill tho oversized shoes of one of tho biggest jobs in high school. That job is to organize tho cheers and spirits of the crowd so that they will prod a team on to victory] The choorloadors should definitely share in the credit along with the team. N'EIGV, F€K VICEOIY Buy stamps. Buy bonds. Buy them overy Tuesday. If you don't, you won't go to heaven, That has boon the N'Ergetto slogan, for the H'Er-gettos have been on the march this year--narching toward the oxternina-tion of all parasites who didn't buy stamps. Why they practically changed the school colors from maroon and white to red, white, and blue] Besides being Uncle Sam's helpers, they helped practically everybody in school. They ushered at teachers' convention and at all football and basketball games. They held their N dinner and dance for letternen and practically ruined thoir reputation doing it. The center pieces for tho table were made of pipe cleaners. Here would bo some N'Ergottes strolling down the hall with a couple of packages of pipe cleaners. It looked vor-oo bad. Miss Thaler is the sponsor, and no doubt many of tho ideas that make any K'Ergotto production such a success originate in her fertile mind.

F, A,, Future Far— nors of America, roally started tho year with a bang, undor thoir popular instructor, Mr. Kildoo. This organization is oonposod of boys who nro onrollod in Scith-Hughos Vocational Agriculturo, and thoy nako ovorything fron wagon boxes to pig troughs out in their shop. Speaking of pig troughs, quite a controversy arose fron those sinplo articles of farnor-land. A picture was sent in to tho World-Horald shoring two of our F. F. A.-ers making pig troughs in tho shop. Immediately sonoono rroto to the Public Pulse saying thoy woren't pig troughs, thoy woro something elso. Letters immediately poured into the newspnpor office. They woro pig troughs. They weron't pig troughs. They woro. They weron't. Tho question is; What wero theyt Tho F. F. A. boys practice magic, too. Thoy moke guinea pigs out of chickens. Feally, thoy do. They have some chickens out in the shop and they are virtually under the microscope most of tho time, to examine thoir mental, physical, and moral improvement, hour by hour, week by week, month by month. The high hopes and ambitions of those boys tiro most aptly exprossed by thoir mottos Looming to do; doing to learn; learning to livo; living to 6orvo, First and socond semester officors wore tho same, being; president, Art Dodornan; vico-president, Dale Baasch; troasuror, Norman Haasch; secretary, Bob Sowoll; nows roportor, Dean Timporley; and watch dog, Arvid Baasch. icciinc icmic the eijtijhe Basod on the motto, Bettor Boys Make Better Men, tho Hi—Y club is doing all it can to make that statement work. It has been proved over and over again. In order to find what boys fron all over the country were thinking about the war and its problons, Milo Perry and Sono Covort wore 6ont as delogatos to tho National Hi-Y Congress in Oxford, Ohio. At every mooting, some problem which is of utmost importance to youth is brought up for discussion. These are supplemented with movies, demonstrations, and interesting speakers on tinoly subjects. The boys not only know how to attack problons in words, thoy do something about it. When the Norfolk Air Raid Defense wanted boys as messengors, the Hi-Y stopped in and took ovor tho main responsibility. They sorve as headquarters for the set-up, and have it so organized that tho nossongers should bo able to knock on all the doors in Norfolk in fifteon minutes. Thoir program includes many interesting little sidelights in tho form of donees, picnics, box socials, and hay rides. Thoy havo a great reputation for their efficient manner in handling any kind of situation, and thoy certainly don't fall down in this ploasant duty. Officors wero Dick Miner, president; Jack Hurlburt, vico-presidont| Bob Bockcrt, secretary; Cone Covort, treasurer; Bill Ballew, sergeant—at— arns; Mark Walker, chaplain. SINCINC EC VIO0I1 If you saw Frenchmen and Chinese and Bussians running ar und school about 1 larch. 12, don t worry ab ut it. It wasn't because of the night be— fore. It as just the chorus practicing for their musicale. The theme vras The United Nations , and so, everybody had to scrape up costumes of our allies. This brought many rosultss everything from pajamas (guess wnol) and tunedos to bedroom slippers and the real thing , dresses made in China and Sweden. The whole effect was very inspiring and was staged with a background of a or- ndorful mural by the art department shewing the flags of the United Nations, Besides this super—dupor musicale, tho annual Christmas Vespers was presented and was also a groat success, Tho eh'ir was robod in white surplices and black skirts and was soatod on the stage, the backgr und being illuminatod by boautiful tapers, tho vrrk of tho art department. Another highlight of tho musical soasen cf 1942-1943 was tho clinic held hero £ r all schools of N rthoastorn Nebraska, Ur, Vestbro-k of tho University of Nebraska lod the combinod choruses, and after trala—ing all day, tho hugo chorus trala—cd f r the public and indood did thorn— selves proud.

It wasn't lcncsomo, oithor, but this ono roccivod spocial attention. He let it stow and bako thoro until it was dene to a turn, and he had como to a dofinito conclusion. In the futuro there w'uld bo no more juni r chorus. It was finished, done for. But——something new was in tho air—and whon it became fully dovol'pod, Norfolk high bocamo tho proud possessor rf two bouncing gleo clubs. As it turned ’'ut, thoy are composed almost entirely of girls, Tho few boys in there bocano quite humiliated when they had tc bo rcinf rcod with part of the lr w alto section, and the soc- nd senoster they wero all movod into senior chorus. These clubs givo underclassnon and studonts wh” or uld liko to bo included in chorus, and who lack owporiencc, a chanco tr loarn. They startod with tho fundamentals and w- rked up until (Oh, happy day!) thoy woro able t' take part with tho chrrus in the Cnristmas Vespers, hr, Elliscn, in fact tho whole student body, was entirely ploascd with their offorts. lIo::t year most of those girls will graduato into sonior ch'rus and their places will bo taken by now underclassmen and other boginning music pc pie, It turned ut to be a vory well organized idea and wc should have a bigger and bettor senior chorus in the futuro bocauso of it. r BAND—FRONT ROW—Pat Halderman.

TTon't somobody play my bass horn? You know who that is—Hr. Horton ITclch, our band instructor. Ho bogged, he pleaded, and did he got results! Everybody who enmo into rango was asked the same plaintive questions Don't you want to play in my band? But, regardless of tactical methods, Gcnoral Uclch succocdod in his initial campaign and now has as smooth an army as this old world has seen in many a day. Probably the highlight of the year was tho clinic hold in Norfolk March 19, All tho towns around Norfolk came togothor, and they roally had a good old jam session all day Friday, with Don Lontz as diroctor. Hr. Lentz camo from tho University of Nebraska especially for this purpose, Friday night thoy presented a concort and startled Norfolk out of its seat in tho auditorium. Such music belongs in Carnegie Hall. The best tunos of all move to Carnegie Hall, you know. But roally tho music was suporb. Soon after this, Hr. Volch started preparing small instrumental groups for entrance in tho. music contest at O'Neill. Those fine tune-smiths wore usually present at games and rallies to instil a groat deal of pep into all the slccpy-heads of N.H.S, You want to know tho star of the wholo season. Meet Hr. TTolch. Uith the able assistance of his kids, ho has roally put music, good music, good band music, into N.H.S, THEY Ell DEE ARCllND In tho auditorium you find tho musicians of Norfolk high school. Uc find 3 classes: Class No. 1—Those jitterbugs, hopcats, or whatever you want to class them; Clas6 No. 2—Those who aro good in band music; and then wo como to tho group that is known as tho highbrows , the elite . Those membors aro in tho orchestra. Thoy arc the ones of NHS with tho bushy hair and waving arms. Those virtuosi played at the Junior class play during intermission, at tho convocation honoring our war heroes, Gym Nito, Commonco-mont and Baccalauroato, and for their own amusement and amazomont, according to Mr. Uolch. Spoaking of Mr, Uolch, ho says he is vory proud of his orchostra. It has grown and grown and grovm and grown. In fact, it has practically triplod itsolf. From 13 to 37! Goo! And another thing. It has complete instrumentation, Uhy all thoso puzzled faces? Don't you understand? Uhy, complete instrumentation is very simple. It just moans the orchostra has 8 violins, 1 viola, 2 flutes, 3 clarinets, 4 cornets (lot's see, what else? Oh yes) 4 French horns, 2 trombones, 2 collos, 1 bass viol, 2 oboos, 1 bassoon, 4 trombones, ( is that 37 yet?) and 1 baritone and 1 bass. Oh, that's only 36—1 piano. Now you know about tho orchostra (perchance)• IN ICNCI OF CUE SEEEICEMEN This page is herewith dedicated to those Norfolk high school seniors who left the ranks of studious youth to join the ranks of marching men. Those who left to enter the services this year are Marvin Bobb, Charles Holm, Fred Lehmann, Herb Leonard, Allen Mather, Lloyd Meyers, Lyle Moos, Lyle Walter, Jack Leedom, Don E, Hansen, and Duane Buettow, We want these boys, who departed from our ranks and left many friends, to know that N.H.S. is backing them 100%. First off, wo have the all-out scrap drive. Ah, what a drive. How many timos Willie Lindsteadt weighed in! The battle between the juniors and seniors ragod on and en, and the juniors were ahead until it was found that Wil Lindsteadt's 240 pounds had been considered as scrap by most of tho juniors (and more than once, at that). The sophomores and freshmen had their own little feud, too. But, regardless, our high school collected more than 130,000 pounds of scrap. The journalism classes aided the scrap drive by contributing an old press that had gathered dust for many a year, and the Thespians did their bit by putting on a play, Threo's A Crowd , and giving the proceeds to tho Bed Cross. Speaking of the Bed Cross, evory high school student became a member of the Junior Red Cross after making a slight contribution to the fund. Students and faculty members, alike, saved their hard-earned ponnios and invosted in noro than $6,000 worth of bonds and stamps during tho school year. The N'Ergettes sat patiently evory Tuosday selling to patriotic purchasers, who have really been in there pitching, and felt closer to the war, having lost several classmates to tho draft. A now course was instituted this year. It was dosigned to build up physically tho boys who will soon see army duty. Coach Franco had a grand tine training his commando unit in rough and roady tactics. Physical education was made a requirod subject, for girls as well as boys. This wartino measure roquires all students, from grade 7 to grade 12, to tako the courso, theroby preparing everyone physically. Some of tho high school boys worked out at tho airport, helping to construct the now runways last fall, A tin salvage depot was established at the high school whore all tho tin cans could be brought by tho students. Our school participated in the Schools at War program, in which a scrapbook was nado showing our activitios aiding the war effort. We point with pride to tho war record of the Norfolk schools, only a portion of which we aro able to rocognize on this page. So, to those gallant men already in the service, and to those who will enter the ranks before long, we say, Norfolk high school is bohind you! 1 1 1 1 1 J J J .] .1 1 1 } .1 J 1 1 1 J } STRINGS— FIRST ROW—Ruth Pott hast, Vernon Long, Shirley Recke-wey, Dick Asmussen, Bob Sovereign.

NEXI ST€P EI€ll¥H€CD The Thespian organization is for all the Cornells and Lunts of good ole Norfolk high school, and a right active outfit they are. They started out the year by holding a beautiful formal initiation, shortly after school opened. Before the formal initiation thero was an informal one. Can anyone forgot tho pigtails end garters and long undor-woar and bow ties tho poor sufforers wore? 0-o-o-oh! Then they woro tho bright onos who thought up the publicity campaign for thoir Sadio Hawkins Day danco which was a groat success. You rcmomDor that, don't you? Every room you camo into, here would bo tho some woras staring you in tho face. Who? What? Where? When? Most everybody wont cra-zior until tho grand surprise was made known. Goo, weren't that mystcr- ious? . . Lator in tho year, as their contribution to a movement sponsored by tho National Thospian Socioty, tho Thespians producod a play which was presontod. in a convocation for tho high school Miss Marjorie McGilvroy is thoir sponsor. First senostor officers woros John Busch, president; Beverly Buss-kohl, vicc-presidont; Donna Dickinson, secretary; Loyd Wagner, treasurer. Second sonestor officers were: gevorly Busskohl, prosidont; John Carson, vice-prosidont; Jane Pollack, secretary; Loyd Wagner, troasuror. ECE Cli INEI UlINf Allied Youth was formed last spring to nark tho way to a longor lifo. They say Yahooti is tho littlo chop who draws tho block lino down tho niddlo of highways. Members of Allied Youth have token over the job of narking that path on tho highway of life. Should a judgo ask t.ion o walk tho chalkod lino, they'll bo ablo to do it. Several interesting spookors gavo thoir points on tho oifoct of liquor upon the body and personality. They wore rather liko Burna -avo signs along tho highway—only, they carried a nuch noro serious message. Coach France pointod out tho harm of alcohol to athletes and if tho goos for athlotcs whose bodios arc strongor, what must it do to tho rost of us? , Doan Mclntyro believes that nost high school students drink to attract attontion which they otherwise could not gain. Dr. Barnes of tho State Hospital staff gave tho effects on the brain. It nakos that usually soft and lovely organ so hard and rough that ovon Jorgcns' lotion couldn't soften it up. It rathor has tho effect of prosorving tho brain, but aftor it has boon presorvod, it roally isn t worth saving Sovcre.1 partios wero plannod hy tho organization. Johnny Ryan hoaded this noblo group as their prosidont, with Robert Rockort as his koopor of tho funds, and Shirloy Rockowoy as recorder. Miss Patricia Riopor is their sponsor. THE EYES YND E -YES CE S S There's one thing about putting out a School paper. Everybody cusses it, but just forget to put out an issue and see what happens! The co-editors were Miriam and Jean Baasch, and they toiled many a weary hour up in the journalism lab. They were usually making up tho pages or typing stencils. Buth McDaniel was news editor. She saw that all members of tho staff wore attending to business. Thon, of course, we come to those people who wrote all that stuff, and they should be given big bouquets (with hidden onions in them). These bravo ones wero Botty Williams, John Carson, Donna Hass, Dorothy Ward, Sally Laws, Joanne Moon, and Botty Harris. Sports stories wero written by Avrom tho slouth Green, who tracked down all the dopo on sports events. Art work was takon care of by Gifford Micholangelo Basmusson and Jack Chandlor, LaVerne Sponce and Luella Hoffman had the tough job of making hoad— linos. Tho mimoograph was run by Jackie Hunt, with Donna Blair slipshooting. Donna Nichols, Stan Mather, and Earl Maicr had the circulation job on their shoulders. Thoso corn jokors from other schools wero the dirty work of Arlys Suiter, who had tho exchange job. Arlene Teadtke was chief typist, and reporters wero Botty Kumm, Lilly Bolla Morris, Dona Johnson, Eroncis Dovino, Boborta Draeger, Harold Schulz, Virginia Johnson, and Joan Chanborlain. And behind thorn all wo have Chief Cook and Bottlo Washor Mclntyro, Ho did everything! YNimi, IEEY IKIED Those aro the people who hemmed and hawed and cut and sawod and scribblod and scrawled and wept and bawlod and sketched and typed and grumbled and griped and monkeyed and fussed and steamed and cussed so that this book would win your approval--and look at it! John Steon was tho oditor-in-chief, and great wore his nomonts of trial! Thon, of courso, Forald Mauk and Bob Vrzal wore the non who told you what a groat book it was going to bo--and you bit, John Busch and Bob Phillips woro responsible for tho advertising, Mary Soybold and Doris Korlin wrote up tho classos, Doris doing the senior section. Margarot Perry and Jean Chilquist lost a lot of weight, and sloop, and hair writing up the organizations. Jackie Hunt ran tho mimeograph, and sho often felt like using a littlo strong languago in regard to aforonentionod nachino whon it wouldn't run. Donna Dickinson and Arlone Teadtke pounded tho typewriters day in and day out. Avrom Green wroto up tho sports pages and racked hi6 brain figuring out who made what touchdown whon, Steve Gillotto, My nan Steve, as Mr. Mclntyro calls hin, took all tho informal pictures. And John Carson thought up the features that adorn the book, Bouquots should bo given tho art department and Bob Powor and Prank Tfiedenbach as they spent great hunks of tine on tho book, Bob doing the in—between pagos. Then, of course, we cone to Mr. Mclntyro, tho long-suffering sponsor who had ovory dirty job around tho joint. But twixt 'em all, they got the job done.

After all, ono isn't liko a cat, Aubroy Allington (Noel Ball) in the junior class play, Tons of Mon-oy , docidod not to bo, in tho oyos of his creditors, and to keep being, in ordor to onjoy tho fortuno he had just inherited fron his brothor, Af-tor ho had done away with hinself in a nasty oxplosion, he roappeared as his cousin Goorgo Maitland, who was to have tho nonoy noxt, Soon after this, his wife (Wilholnino Ike) wanted hin not to bo again bocauso she would inherit the nonoy noxt and he could start boing soceone elso — and they could onjoy tho nonoy togothor anyway. This tine ho drowned hin solf, (For variety, you know. One does got tirod of dying in tho sane old way,) It was a sad case; ho hod died in vain. Tho real Georgo Maitland turned up. So, Aubrey docided to be hinsolf again and clain tho nonoy which, instead of boing in tons, turnod out to bo a noro four pounds. In botweon his disappearing rets, however, a third Ceorge Maitland ha’, turned up. It seens Sprules, the butler, (Ken Funk) had porsuaded his brother to appear in this forn to inhorit tho noney. Tho rost of tho play was built on thoso two inpostors trying to keep thoir cues straight and fron swallowing thoir Adnn's applos when they found the real Georgo Maitland had a wifo.

From his fullback position, ho thundored over tho twin-stripod linos nany tinos. Ho used his woight to good advantage in boconing a loading ground-gainor. HAROLD ATWOOD — As fast as lightning, Atlas porforned well in tho backfield this soason. Ho gavo a lot of drive to tho tean, and ho will be countod on hoavily whon ho returns fron tho wars. BILL BALLSW — Fullback soons a funny position for a small, light follow like Bill to bo playing, but ho surprised nany by vory capably filling this spot, Billy hit for eight points against Noligh. MARVIN 303B — Mort dovelopod into a groat linonan this yoar. Fron his tackle position ho throw 180 pounds of nusclo into his oppononts to bo-cone a star on dofonso. DQ. BROADSTONS — We'll expect to soo a lot of Broady next year at tne fullback spot, for ho was ono of tho best plunging backs on this yoar s squad. Spood and weight nade hin a powerful plunger. JOHN DUDLEY _ Although injured during part of the season, John inprovod as tho soason wont along. A tall boy, ho playod the ond position woll, ospocially on defonso. JACK FARNSR — Jack was placod on tho ALL-STATE SECOND TEAM, and justly so, for tho towering 6 4 end not only was a brilliant pass rocoivor and dofensivo star, but also an oxcollont puntor and fiold gonoral. GERALD FAUBSL — Gerald is anothor in tho fino crop of onds this yoar. Tho valuable oxperionco he gained in competition this season should nnko hin a whix on next yoar's squad. [ [ L ft f.

Mather Pfund BOB HALL — Bob was a mainstay in the line at guard this year, hut he unfortunately suffered a head injury in the Stanton game that kept dim out of further competition. We hope he will he able to play next year. JIM HARKRADER — Jim was a stalwart in the Panther line at guard this season. His aggressive charging opened large holes for the hacks to go through. He was also a gem on the defense. DAK HOIEN Harmon” was one of the best at the wingback position. Although off to a slow start this season, he came hack in fine style to develop into one of the most dangerous passers on the squad. B03 JESSZN —— Jess played a bang-up game at the tackle slot this year. Tall and plenty heavy, he was a mighty tough linesman to run up against. Ho always performed brilliantly on the defense. JACK XYSA5 — Jack surprised many of the doubting Thomases by developing into a crack guard after only a year of football experience. Although light, he filled his position well in every game.

ALLEN MATHER -- Deac was the first Korfolk player to make ALL-STATE FIRST TEAM for several years, but the tall, speedy wingback really deserved it, as he led tho Panthers offensively, scoring 72 points and contributing much of the yardage. STAH MATHER — Nifty teamed with his brother A1 at tho wingback slot, and novor was a brothor act more powerful offensively. Stan is very fast and tricky, and should be able to fill his brother's shoes next year. DICK MINER —— As a center, Dick roceived ALL—STATE HONORABLE MENTION. His snapbacks were perfect, but his particular fortes were lino-backing and pass defense, which holpod keep opponents scoreless in five games. BILL NICKOLAS —— Billy showed a lot of pep and fire as a center this yoar, and tho experience ho gained should make him tops for next season. His snapbacks were good, and ho was very good defensively. MARVIN PAPSTSIN — Pappy was a speedy little wingback who developed into a dangerous passer and open-field runner. His accurate passing especially should bo a great asset to next year's machine. BILL PFUND — Bill is one of tho largest players Norfolk has over had. The giant, 250-pound tackle could really now down his oppononts. His blocks and tacklos should really help Norfolk's squad next yoar. MACK ROBINSON —— Only a sophomore. Mack played ably at tho blocking back position. Although he didn't lug tho pigskin much, he had ono of the hardest jobs on the squad, and he played well on the dofense, LAURENCE SKALOWSKY —— Larry was one of the best defensive ends in this part of the state, as was shown by his many jaunts into tho opposite backfiel.d to stop their ball-carriers. His side wasn't swept very much. STANLEY STIKEBAUGH — Stan earned valuable first team experience this year, and ho should develop into a rugged linesman for next season's foes to copo with.

P THE ClilRICI CHAMPIONS TOM ALPERSON — Tom was a crackerjack guard on the ace Panther cage team this year. He was a very accurate passer and a fast floor man. It was interesting to watch Aldy play, as he would always dribble very fast into opponents' territory, anxious to set off a scoring play. BOB ANDERSON -- Tubby was switched from his familiar forward position back to guard, where his uncanny passing was very valuable in feeding others the ball in scoring’plays. He was an accurate shot himself, and one of the best dribblers. Tub was also a fine defensive man. BILL BALLEff — Despite his lack of height, Billy was one of the best performers on Coach France's squad this season. He was a good floor man and ball handler, and from his forward position he potted several long shots from the right side of the court. .1ARVIN CHRISTIANS — Marv really surprised kibitzers by making the first team this year and earning his letter. He is only a freshman and has three more years to go. Playing capably at the center position, he was a good ball handler and passer. EUGENE COVERT -- Gene is another one of the boys who made good this year. Although he hadn't played basketball for two years, he developed into a fine forward. The lanky boy had a good basket eye, and he was especially good at team play. JACK FARNER — Jack made tho ALL-STATE FIRST TEAM this year, and he had it coming. The towering 6 4 center was the driving sparkplug of Coach France's attack this year and was high-point man, scoring 194 points during the season. He was also tops on defense, using his height to good advantage in performing brilliantly under the bank-boards. BOB HALL — Bob played a fine game at the forward position this year. Ho was one of the best shots on the squad, and was a fine passer and ball handler. He was a cool player, with his free shot in the overtime period winning the close Alumni game for us. JACK 5URL3URT -- One of the peppiest little players on tho squad was Jack, who did his stuff from the forward position. He didn't let his lack of height stop him from becoming a good player, as he developed a good side shot, and handled the ball well. STAN MATHER — Stan became one of the best at the guard position this year. The speedy fellow was an accurate passer and ball handler, and he also had a good basket eye. He will be counted on heavily to sparkle, when next year's graduation-riddled squad assembles. DICK MINER -- Dick used his height well this year, in becoming one of the leading playors on the squad at defense. He would always leap high into the air to go after rebounds from either basket. From his guard position he also developed a good shot, MACK ROBINSON — his carrot-topped lad, only a sophomore, was good enough to break into the starting lineup at forward. He was the second leading scorer on the squad, although he was one of the shortest players. He was also a fine defensive man, and should spearhead next year's team. LAURENCE SKALQWSKY — Larry surprised quite a few people by developing into a fine forward even though he hadn't played basketball since he was a sophomore. He was tall and a good defensive man, but he also had a good basket eye and hit for several tallies.

CD A YEaIK CF YICIGEIEi IN TRACK- As the climax of the 1943 track season, the Norfolk thinclads copped their own invitational track meet by a wide margin. They finished 25 points ahead of their nearest competitor, St. Edward. Stan Mather and Jim Harkrader led the Panthers by scoring 20-odd points between them. Previous to their own invitational meet on April 30, the Panthors had boon nosed out of first place at the Columbus Invitational by point, by Grand Island, and they lost in a dual meet with Yankton, South Dakota.
