THE MILESTONE STAFF • • • A portrayal of and in their PRESENTS A 3-ACT PLAY students in school community in 1948-49 ACT III SPRING—Anti the curtains start closing. Graduation is :n the limelight, for the Seniors, and other classes are continually occupied with plans and preparations for each coining event. '‘All the world's a stage, says Shakespeare, and acquiescently, so is Norfolk High. Act one is fall. Do you remember stepping into NILS for the first time this year? . . . Underclassmen, hesitantly . . . Seniors, expectantly? Act two reveals activity scenes—basketball, es-pers, concerts. Act three is the climactic end. For the Seniors— graduation. For the underclassmen, completion of another year towards their goal. Then the curtain closes. And, for the Seniors, we incontestably know there is no curtain call. Piefuz uHXj, IoJLguj, Lye sjjO-n.

The “New Look” came to Senior High last fall . . . new” Freshmen looking” for schedule cards, lockers and 301. What would Norfolk High School he without the Freshmen? It wasn’t a Senior who merited laughs on that first day of school, nor was it a Junior who went to a History Class for a week thinking it was Freshman English. Yes, these things were reserved strictly for the Freshman greenies.” I lowever, we, the class of 52, didn’t really consider ourselves green.” This was shown by the New Look” in football, basketball, boxing and track. It will be these boys who will help with Norfolk’s winning teams the next three years. Also, two freshie girls were baton twirlers. The Freshmen were soon looked upon as capable of doing most anything, either good or bad. When it came to sleeping in study halls and signing the ninth period book, again the Freshmen excelled. We could also be counted upon for showing good school spirit at all of the pep rallies and games. Other interests of the Freshmen included, Projectionist Club, band, orchestra, choir and Hi- 14 PLOTTING IN THE SNOW—Marilyn Hutton, Sandra Patterson, Jackie Decker, Shirley Keeney, Audrey Larson, Connie Christian.

Also, sonic members of the class were in FFA and GAA. The Debate Squad claimed a member from the Freshman Class. With all these activities taking a great deal of our time, we are also proud of our scholastic record. Each six weeks honor roll had a good percentage of the class represented. e also became very intelligent after getting Caesar over the Rubicon in Latin, and we managed someway to sail bv those Algebra tests. The Freshmen and Sophomore Classes held their annual picnic in the Spring. There was nothing lacking and it was declared a huge success by everyone. We even felt we learned to know the Sophomores just a little better. When election time came, at the beginning of each semester, we chose John Wisenstine for president both semesters. The other officers for the first semester were: Vice President, Shirley Keeney; Secretary, Dorothy Stevens, and Treasurer, Sally Manske. The X'Ergettes were Marlene Barritt, Phyllis Dalton. Daphine Jones. Sally Manske and Margaret Weber. For Minute Men we elected Dick Best, Jim Carson, Jack Putters, Kenneth Kaschke and John Wisenstine.

For the newly organized Student Council, Jim Carson and Daphine Jones were elected to represent the Freshman Class. The sponsors for the Freshman Class were Miss Gordon, chairman; Miss Schini, Miss Larson. Mr. Scott and Mr. Hamm. They did a wonderful job and we feel we are well launched on our high school career. So proceed with the determination to show off our talents to the best advantage. We have gone through the period of adjustment and have come to the realization that we have a lot to learn and accomplish before we reach our goal. With all this in mind you can easily see that it would be impossible for Norfolk High School to even exist, without the “New Look” — the Class of ’52. 16 KIWANIS AWARD STUDENTS — Bob Raasch, Janet Steffen, Kathryn Weich, Charles Gomon. changed and particularly by the thought that they would soon he up| er-elassmen. they started the year by electing Rex Menuey, president; Hob Raasch, vice president: Jean Steffen, secretary, and Lorraine Dieter, treasurer.

The Sophs have excelled in extra-curricular activities. When the track season opened, we found a number of Sophs on the team, and dur- SOPHOMORES... It was a wonderful feeling, especially for the boys, to no longer fear those hateful tricks on the Freshmen. The rides to the country weren’t so bad until they started making you walk back; that was pretty awful. The Sophs all remember those fierce glares a “greenie received if he chanced to step on the upper-classmen’s toes or those warning glances from the teachers.

Each six weeks there were a number of Sophomores on the honor roll and quite a few girls were initiated into the Tri-Hi-Y club to represent their class. The Sophomores serve at the Junior-Senior Prom so if you happen to have soup down your neck or food all over you, you can blame “you know who” for that. And then came the time for the Freshman-Sophomore picnic. This is the day that the kids wait for. ()nce again they can get out and have really a swell time (even if there are teachers around). With an eye to next year we survived our second year of high school education; with even more hopeful looks we will enter NHS’s portals next fall as distinctive upper-classmen. Juniors. PtejiarU+tq, .to Me ing the football season quite a few second year men were stars. The basketball season was really inspiring to the Sophomores when Gene Rakes and Verlin Glass were on the starting lineup. Fans found a second team strong with zealous Sophomores who couldn't be held down. During the year the English Class struggled through the “Tale of Two Cities” and Parliamentary Law.

Despite a 3-to-l deficit in the won and lost column, the Panthers finished the most successful season in three years. Starting the season under a new coach and a shift from the single wing to the “T formation, the team improved during the season and managed to win third place in the East Division of the P� ig Ten. Opening the season against last year’s state champions, Grand Island, the Panthers absorbed a 39-0 loss. Dick Reuss and Deraid Dreager were taken out because of injuries. Led by All-Staters Reynolds and Hahn, the Islanders cashed in on pass interceptions and a passing attack to rack up their touchdowns. Jerry Harkrader’s punting was one of the high spots of the game as he set the GI team back several times. Traveling to Fremont, the Panthers managed to eke out a 6-0 win, the first since the middle of the 1946 season. The Norfolk rooters were brought to their feet with a jolt when the Tigers tried for a field goal in the first stanza. The ball hit the crossbar and dropped to the ground. In the fourth period Lauver broke through the line and recovered a fumble on the Fremont 20. From there the ball moved to the eight and Dalton plunged for the touchdown. I Oliver was named on the Omaha World-Herald Roll of Honor for his performance in this game. 20 PANTHERS RUSHING ACROSS THE FIELD—The speedy crew practiced every night at the South Field. Above shows the energy which spurred them on to win the scrappy battles they chalked up. THE TASTE OF VICTORY — Knowing what winning really means after the Fremont fracas, the victorious Panthers, with a look of happy satisfaction, unlace their guards, pull off togs and take showers. They are at Fremont for the first win of the 1948 season. JACKS OF ALL TRADES—Trainer Charles Gomon, Student Man agers Don Tarr and Dan Gimbd. BAKER BECKENHAUER BLAKEMAN BURNS CHILDERS VIRGIL BAKER—A Junior, lightning fast, “Bake” was a scrappy little guard on defense; will be shifted to center next year. DON BECKENHAUER — C a m e out his Senior year and played a lot of guard. GLEN BLAKEMAN — “Blake,” a Senior, did a fine job of handling the quarterback position in his first year on the “T.” An excellent defensive back and a capable passer. RONNIE BURNS —A fine defensive end his Sophomore year. Shows great promise; strong and fast. BOYD CHILDERS — “Big Boy Boyd,” a Junior, was dependable at the guard slot. A lot is expected from him next year. ALL VICTORIOUS—The Junior High football team wound up its 1948 grid season undefeated. At the start of the grid campaign Coach Don Kindscher was greeted by over 50 candidates, the largest turn out in recent school history. All of the scheduled games were won by a margin of 14 or more points. JACK DALTON — “Skip” was a hard running left half his Senior year; was a fine pass receiver, also. DERALD DREAGER—A scrappy tackle, who never gave up; another Senior. GENE EAKES — A cool, dependable end, his Sophomore year; will be shifted to quarterback next fall. DALTON DREAGER EAKES EDWARDS HARKRADER JIM EDWARDS — Rangy end, he came along fast the latter part of the season—a Senior. JERRY HARKRADER—Jerry was the best high school punter in the state. Was out with a leg injury last half of the season. BEHIND THE SCENES — Norfolk High coaching staff Gerald Kllyson, Buford Grosscup, Don Bottorff, Cleo Schroeder. HORTON KERBER LAUVER LENSER MOLDENHAUER NELSON DAN HORTON — Good defensive guard and offensive tackle. May be shifted to end next year as a fine potential pass receiver. HAROLD KERBER — A Junior, hard-hitting fullback and rugged line backer. “MUTT” LENSER — Freshman right half, very fast, and a deadly tackier. “RED” MOLDENHAUER—Senior right half. Big “Moldy” was slowed by injuries, but asked no uarter and gave none. Received ranada theatre award. LEON LAUVER—Big Leon teamed with his buddy, Childers, to give the Panthers a pair of rugged guards. “PEANUTS” NELSON — A great defensive line backer, will team next year with Eakes in handling quarterback on Panther “T.” A heady, smart boy. The Yankton Bucks brought a polished precision attack to Athletic Park which enabled them to chalk up a 20-0 victory over the Maroon and White. Norfolk was hampered by an injury to Glen Blakeman which took him out in the first quarter. WHAT'S HAPPENING?—A shot of the bench scene during an exciting phase of the Fremont battle. Coach Ellyson is fixing Blakeman’s injured head; Bottorff gives vocal support; teammates and Tarr keep fingers crossed, but Manager Gimbel is busy with statistics. KEN NEWMAN—Scrappy center his Senior year. “Newt” received Big Ten honorable mention. KERWIN O’DEY—Little “Curly” played a lot of offensive left half, a Junior. DICK REUSS — Strong, rugged tackle, made All Big Ten unanimously, a Senior. Received Granada theatre award. DICK SWOGGER —A Junior, another fine end, should be rough next year. WALLY WALKER — Freshman, left half, very shifty runner. He and Lenser, his halfback running mate, will give Panthers a strong one-two punch come fall. BOB WATERBURY— Speedy end, who made pass receiving a fine art. Came out his Senior year and looked good from the start. Upsetting the dopesters, the Beatrice Orangemen rolled to a 20-7 win over the Panthers. A Blakeman to Dalton pass in the end zone scored the sole jx)ints. Jerry Markrader was injured when he tore several tendons in his ankle and Moldenhauer received a leg injur). Facing a strong wind, the Panthers bowed to the Hastings ele en, 31-6, the latter sparked by All-State Ted Connor. Blakeman broke through for twenty yards and the only Norfolk touchdown. NEWMAN O’DEY REUSS SWOGGER WALKER WATERBURY PUSH HIM BACK—Dalton, Newman and Mo’denhauer charge towards the Columbus pigskin carrier at the afternoon Homecoming fracas. In the big city the Panthers got lost in Creighton Stadium and bowed to Prep 19-0. Moldenhauer and Harkrader were hurt and left the field. Norfolk’s hopes hit a low spot when a Blakeman pass to Waterbury was called incomplete because Bob was behind the end zone. Starting the Columbus game with a bang, Reuss grabbed a fumble and ran across for a touchdown, in the first running play of the game. In the third quarter Waterbury caught a pass for six points with Columbus matching it. Dalton plunged through for the last Panther touchdown in the final stretch. Moldenhauer was again hurt and disabled for the Hast game. TROUBLE’S COMING. BLAKE!—Facing four of the Discoverers’ block ing crew, Blakeman runs around the end for a gain in the victorious Columbus game. Dalton comes in to aid. A powerful East team rallied in the second half to down the Panthers at Sioux City, 38-13. The first half, played in a driving rain, ended with Norfolk ahead, 13-12. Blakeman led the season’s individual scoring with 21 points. Dalton following with 19. Waterbury and Reuss each had 3. Honorary captains were Moldenhauer and Reuss. The reserves finished the season with two wins and one loss. They lost one and won one from Fremont. 19-0 and 13-12 respectively, and beat Newman Grove. 21-0. UMM, GOOD—Football squad members dig into the chicken at the annual Football Banquet, ending the grid season. DON'T BE SO STINGY —Eager beavers Waterbury, Newman, Beckenbauer and Dalton beg Blakeman for a drop of the banquet’s drink . . . milk. ILLUMINATING BONFIRE—Shadowed against the blazing CHARGE, I SAY!—Homecoming advertisers Bill Mel flames of the Snake Dance’s fire at the South Field, four lick, Fred McFarland, Russell Caauwe, Dick Reuss, latecomers watch the ritual on the opposite side. Ken Newman, Jack Dalton. IUrn -- BaxJzUuf Mie. Panthe i Attache With Freddy McFarland as leader, NHS cheerleaders dug in and revived spirit and enthusiasm. Until basketball season Jack Best was a member of the crew and during the year Sue Palmer was elected to the ranks for next year. The Snake Dance was the best in years. After the long slithering line twisted its way to the South Field, things started poppin . An Indian pow-wow was held around the fire. For the first time, a Pep King was crowned. Russ Caauwe reigned, attended by Conner Abel and Mike Schulz. The pep rally, co-sponsored by Bill McXeelv and Charles Rossow, was voted “best of the year” and received an award. “Plan, prepare, and produce,” was the yell-sters motto, and school spirit hit a high peak because of this hard working crew.

KISS FOR THE QUEEN — Cheerleaders Jack Best and Fred McFarland take full advantage of the Homecoming ceremonies by topping all with a kiss of approval. Rei(f U Uf Rayaltiel HOMECOMING... Homecoming ceremonies between the halves of the Xorfolk-Columbus game revealed Norma Redden as 1948 Homecoming Queen. She was elected by popular vote of the student body. The Queen and her two attendants rode onto the field in a horse drawn carriage. Coach Ellyson crowned the queen, and co-captains of the game. Red Molden-hauer and Dick Reuss crowned the two attendants. A rhinestone bracelet was presented to Norma, and the attendants each received a box of candy. SCOTTISH PERFORMERS—Singers and dancers snap off a Scotch tune at a rally. PEP KING—Russell Caauwe, Pep King, re ceives a trophy from Fred McFarland. THE PAUSE THAT REFRESHES—Panting ami laughing on their way to the hiding place, out of breath Seniors rest a minute on the railroad tracks. WAITING FOR 6:30 — Last minute snacks and nervous waiting mark the period before the starting signal, and final warnings are issued. HARE and HOUND RACE... The Hounds didn’t do it! The Seniors were the victors at the traditional Hare and Hound Race. The starting point was 13th and Michigan Avenue and ended at Black Bridge, anyway for the Seniors. The Seniors ran down the railroad tracks about three miles. Half way the group stopped and hid in the ditch near the track. Several flashlights were thrown their direction by Juniors, but with no luck. When no more lights came, the Seniors proceeded. After approaching a cornfield, and climbing through a barb-wire fence the final hideout was reached. Then came the tense waiting. Huddled closely in a gulley near the river bank everyone silently awaiting for 8:15. As a Junior scout, came within two blocks of the hideout one could hear hearts beat it was so quiet; but lie sauntered on. Then came the moment—victory! A tired bunch of Seniors shouted with joy. Meeting the dejected stragglers of the Hounds still wandering around the viaduct looking for the main trail, they discovered that the Juniors found no trace of the trail until fifteen minutes before the race was over. Frantically the Juniors tried to follow the trail but in vain. The Hounds still argue that the wind blew away the trail. Warmth and plenty of food were awaiting the two groups in the gym. LOSERS RECUPERATE — Tired Juniors rejectedly stuff refreshments down, after their fruitless search for the Senior Hares. WE’LL SEE — Juniors jokingly taunt the “mighty” Senior Hares before the race. However, a few hours later, the situation was reversed. 29 MUSIC HATH CHARM — Mr. Merton V. Welch fingers off a snappy march during a football game time out. The BAND . . . Directed by Merton V. Welch, Norfolk High not only produced a top concert band but also a fine inarching band again this year. Toni Beagle for the second year was the drum major who capably gave the signals to put the students through their paces. Following him, came the six high-stepping majorettes, Peggy Neidig, Maraleen Callies, Arjean Wade, Phyllis Prince, Marlene Tews and Eldora Waterlnirv. B'laA'L .and Vdunvi Redound Various formations and drills were witnessed by football fans between the halves as the band performed. Seven-thirty a.m. rehearsals were common occurances during the grid season for marching band members. A pep band was organized under the direction of Jack Fuesler, Junior College student. The entire marching band attended the University of Nebraska Rand Day at Lincoln in the fall. Approximately 3,800 musicians formed a mass group to present a concert between the halves of the Nebraska-Kansas State game. All-State Clinic attenders this year were Elizabeth Splinter, Gene Brinkmeyer, Geraldine Wohl-feil and Elinor I lyde. The clinic was held at Omaha .in November. The biggest event of the year was the Winter Concert. The band combined with the orchestra to present the program on February 22. Included in the program was “Under the Double Eagle March,” followed by “Vistal,” with Lorraine Deiter playing a french horn solo; “Jupi-iter, with Leon Peterson, Junior High School solo cornetist; “Star Dust, with Bill Greckel, cornet soloist; “Americans We March,” accompanied by the twirling corps, and Tile Little Brown Jug,” Janet Rurkhardt playing a piccolo solo.

Dan hastily wrote his regular date, Grace Burkhardt, that he had the grippe and expected to have it until after the dance. So that the faculty and strict Principal Clark Hoffman. wouldn’t get angry, Dan took the movie star to the dance as his girl, but when his girl arrived, Dan got deeper and deeper into trouble, until the final happy solution when the entire cast marched out to their school song. Those in the cast who helped to make the play a success included Dan Gimbel, Frances Uecker. Grace Burkhardt, Ken I Iansen, Charles Gomon, Joan Ruehter, Susan McClelland, Sue Palmer, Harold Dieter, Bob Tawney, George Kinne, Harold Barnhart, Clark Hoffman, Don Tarr, Donna Krasnow, Charles Rossow and JoAnn Calvert.

Xot long after school started the Milestone staff was organized, and shortly later activated. Joan Krueger and Phil Jackman moved from assistant editors to coeditors and Marilyn Clark was selected to handle the write-ups and take over assistant editor duties. Planning the theme was the first job of the executives. After debate, concessions and compromise, this year's “theatre” idea was culled from the others. Then started the long, tedious job of planning each page individually. Every picture had its place and only a certain number of words could be squeezed into the apportioned space.

Norfolk business men, who at one time smiled hopefully at the approach of a XI IS student, hid behind counters and jumped out back windows. The ad campaign, to tlie contrary was successful. Phil wrote several cover companies and the staff examined a barrage of all types before choosing. BEAVER GETS CRITICAL—Jack Beaver, Panther photographer, also took many of the Milestone pictures. He copped first place in photography for Nebraska high schoolers at Press Convention in Lincoln. The staff worked hard and long hours.

Well hurry and copyread it.” “I’ve only two more news stories to write, and then I’ll help you with the features.” An “All American” rating, the highest award given to high school papers was bestowed on the first semester Panther.

The staff had charge of the very successful Homecoming Dance. Through the sponsorship of the paper, the teachers presented a forty-five minute amateur hour skit, which uncovered no amount of hidden talent. The staff also had charge of the concessions at the Class A Regional Basketball Tournament in February. The Panther was published both semesters under the supervision of Mr. Jack Carter, Publications adviser and Journalism teacher. W ithout a doubt it was a busy year for all “The Panther” journalists, but a year unmatched when it came to the good times in 313.

After being steered off the course of the Seniors by a sixty-mile-an-hour wind (which dissolved any trace or clue to the hiding place) the Juniors had to give up, only to trudge back to the very welcome food waiting for them. PROBABLY PROM PLANNING — Junior class officers Janet Burkhardt .Bill McGarry, Dan Gimbel, Clark Hoffman, Marilyn Clark. JUNIORS...

The girls have blended their voices together many times during the year in offering their harmony whenever called upon. Not overlooking any activities it seems the Juniors had their noses in band, orchestra, choir, the Ili-Note Club, the Milestone and Panther staffs, makeup and stage crews, Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y, Projectionists, FFA, GAA, and also debate. speech, music and declamatory contests. The members of this Junior Class must have been “born under their lucky stars.” Those chosen for Girls State and Boys State this year were Pat Patterson, Janet Steffen, Charles Gomon and Don Tarr, respectively.

In the scoring department, the Panthers scored I MO points in 10 games to 529 for the opposition. 1 lining an average of 29 points a game gave ground to their opponents who canned them at a 35-point clip. Opening the season on the home court the Maroon and White edged Pierce 31-30. The margin of victory was closer than it appears, as the Panthers relied on Glen Blakeman’s 21 points. Traveling to Yankton the next night the cagers were surprised by the pepped up Bucks and came home on the short end of a 20-19 score. Blakeman led again with five points. The following Friday saw the Panthers back on home ground and winning another one, this time from Wayne 23-20 in a close argument that saw lots of fouls in the closing minutes.

In one of the best games of the season, Water-bury canned a free throw in the last seconds to provide the margin as the team won 29-28. Omaha sports writers tabbed Bill McGarry as a defensive standout. Waterbury led with 11. The following week the Maroon and White colors were flying again in Omaha. They went down after a 35-30 loss to highly rated Creighton Prep. Blake and Water led with 12 each. Gradoville led the winners with 11. 1949 wasn't as kind to Norfolk as it was in '48 with the Panthers absorbing a 48-38 pasting from Lincoln Northeast January 7th. Blake scored 18 points.

Glen Blakeman potted 10 points for the Panthers. Norfolk opened a home stand of five encounters by taking the measure of the York Dukes 36-35. This was a close contest with close officiating. Glen Blakeman went out via fouls after scoring 11 points. In tlie final Big Ten engagement with Columbus the Panthers fought tooth and toenail to give the Sports King and Queen a victory. The teams played close most of the way but in the fourth quarter the Panthers found themselves 8 points behind and Columbus started to stall. Water led a drive that pulled the team up fast but fell short in the final minutes as the Discoverers won 37-35. Blake hit from all angles to add 22 points to the Panther score.

The members participated and helped with the District Declam here in March. Miss Ruth 1 lellman is the sponsor of the troupe. STAGE CREW . . . The lights dim, the curtain rises, and the show goes on. But it isn’t being done by magic. For if you were to look back stage you would see a busy group of students, all dressed in white. One would be at the switch-board killing tbe house lights, another would be at the dimmer box, ready to provide whatever amount of light might be needed, and still another would be pulling the curtain. You would know then who these people were. You would recognize them as members of the stage crew, the indispensible group to any production. And the white coveralls they would be wearing wouldn’t be as stylish as they could “SPECIAL GUEST CAST — Charles Rossow, Amy Christ ensen, Dan Gimbel, Miss Heilman, Jo Ruehtcr.

Another vital part of play production is the crew having the power to make a man thirty years older in a matter of minutes. The crew that can enhance the beauty of a young girl. This crew is the make-up crew, which worked long and hard to add its bit in making the year's plays successful.

W e came very early so that we could have our first glimpse of a new and fascinating life. In a few days we became adjusted to our schedule and could get to the right place at the right time. We struggled through Algebra, and Miss Gordon guided us through Julius Caesar” in English. And we dreamed of the day when we wotdd be upper classmen. Thus, we greenies ended our Freshman days. Still struggling we became Sophomores, trying to keep up with the pace of our predecessors. Remember the puppet shows we had in Miss Durkop’s English class? By the end of the year our class had begun to make a name for itself. LET'S GO HOME! — Bob Waterbury. Don Beckenbauer, Bill Mellick, Ken Newman, Jack Best, Glen Blakeman.

At the first event in the season, the 11 are and Hound Race, we disgraced ourselves, but later in the season at Field Day we came out far ahead of the Seniors. About this time we gave our class play, Sunrise By Request” which proved a success. Then Mr. Skillstad announced our rings had come. We thought they were more beautiful than any other class had ever had. Our class was the first to have the school seal on rings. Our biggest thrill came with the prom. For weeks we worked madly making favors, programs, and planning skits. The morning of the prom a large percentage of the class was down at the auditorium trying to untwist the streamers and assemble the card tables. We were justly proud that night when our class played host to the Seniors. Now we are Seniors! For three years we’ve been dreaming about this year. Now we kind of wish we were Freshies, starting all over again. In the fall we were victorious in the Hare and 1 found Race. About this time we began to wade through snow. The blizzard of 1888 had nothing over this winter. It caused us to have two days of rest due to the impossibility of maneuvering our way to school. This, however, was not saddening.

Then we put on our swishy formats and best suits and were the guests of the Juniors at the prom. hat a treat to enjoy it and not have to prepare it! Our class play was wonderful and in our estimation was the best stage play of the year. “How many announcements are you going to order?” began to echo through the Seniors and “How did your picture turn out? Mine was terrible.’ Sneak day proved to be quite an adventure. No one knew where we were going until the very morning. All of us had lot’s of fun. Finally graduation day loomed before us. We’ve had a wonderful time together as a class and have been lucky in having swell sponsors. Xo matter where we go, or what we do, we shall think of our high school years as four special years!
