N —4- ,ll FOREWORD The Class of 1934 has weathered the depression years of 1930, 1931, 1932, and 1933. Its members now look forward to an even greater era of prosperity and progress. The new deal promises new opportunities for its members. The $7,500,000 for the Sutherland Project means much in a material way for the members of this class. It means opportunity for work that graduates of the last few years have not had. The class of 1934 is looking ahead! —5— NORTH PLATTE HIGH SCHOOL ENTRANCE AT NIGHT —6— NORTH PLATTE HIGH SCHOOL ENTRANCE ij o o a u w X o H E- 1 a « O • t- —8- E. E. CaiT G. J. Taylor Dr. C. A. Selby J. O. Patterson W. J. Braham E. G. Williams H. E. Day Board of Education Mr. E. G. Williams, president, is the oldest member on the board. He has been active in this organization for nine years and is also president of the North Platte Monument Company. Dr. C. A. Selby, vice-president has played an important part on the board for eight years. Much of his time has been taken up by financial matters of the school and it is largely through his efforts that the balancing of the budget has been possible. Dr. Selby is one of North Platte ' s leading physicians. Mr. E. E. Carr, secretary, was elected in April 1928. Ever since his elec- tion to the school board he has held the position of secretary. Mr. Carr is a partner in the law firm of Hoagland and Carr. Mr. H. E. Day is the owner of the Day Milling Company and has been a board member for five years. During all that time he has been of great help to the organization and school system. Mr. G. J. Taylor took office in 1927. Since that time he has zealously per- formed his duties. He is president of the McDonald State Bank. Mr. B. O. Callendar has the distinction of being the newest member on the board. However, he has already done his share in the board ' s attempt to balance this year ' s budget. He is owner and operator of the B. O. Callendar Oil Company. Mr. W. J. Braham in his position of superintendent of schools has been an able adviser to the board for the past twelve years. The tasks of the school board have been particularly arduous this year because of a depletion of finances derived from tax sources. It became difficult to maintain the usual high standards of city schools with a budget of several thousand dollars less than that of many previous years. They accomplished this seemingly impossible feat of maintaining the integrity of every depart- ment in the system. This was only made possible by the cooperation given the board by the teaching force. The gracious acceptance of salary reductions which, though not as severe as in many localities, has materially aided in keeping the same courses previously offered during prosperous times. —9— ■ll Miss Breternitz Mr. Braham Superintendent W. J. Braham Mr. W. J. Braham will have completed his twelfth year as superintend- ent in the North Platte schools this fall. Through all his twelve years he has been popular with everyone with whom he has had contact. He is always will- ing to speak at assemblies or other school programs, and is well-known for his ability to deliver amusing and effective addresses. Mr. Braham was graduated from Walnut High School and Slippery Rock State Normal School. He received his Bachelor ' s and Master ' s degree from Grove City College. He was elected principal of Hebron High School in 1910, and in 1911 went to Sidney, Nebraska, as superintendent of city schools. Eleven years later he came to North Platte in the same capacity. It was largely through the efforts of Mr. Braham that the School Board was able to maintain the integrity of each department. He has been adviser to the board throughout his twelve years in the North Platte schools. His experience and thorough understanding in his work has benefited the entire system. He has traveled extensively through-out the United States, and has brought back souvenirs of prominent places, for example, a bit of cable from the Brooklyn bridge, a piece of Grant ' s tombstone, and various other lit- tle knick-knacks which prove that he has the mind and taste of a connoisseur. Mr. Braham has always tried to help individual students with their prob- lems and in this way has become a favorite in the minds of everyone. He is famed in this school for his never-ending supply of stories and jokes, with which he usually begins a talk or address. Miss Breternitz graduated from North Platte High School with the class of ' 22. During her high school career, she took an active part in all school activities. She is a charter member of the Student Council. Fein is to be commended for her excellent work, not only clerical work, but her personal interest in everything pertaining to the betterment of the schools. —10- .ll Mr. Nelson Miss McKain Principal L. W. Nelson Mr. Nelson has just completed his fifth year as principal of the North Platte High School. He graduated from the Mead High School in Nebraska, and Nebraska Wesleyan University, where he obtained his A. B. degree in 1922. Later he received his M. A. degree at the University of Nebraska. Before coming to North Platte he was superintendent of schools in Newman Grove, Nebraska. Mr. Nelson ha.s filled the difficult task of principal quite capably, making changes and additions whenever he deemed it advisable. Mr. Nelson has de- voted almost his encire time to the student activities, and studies, and has al- ways taken great pride in student achievement. His hobby seems to be economics. He is especially well-versed on this subject and fortunately is able to indulge his pleasure in teaching and lecturing on the subject. Many of the entertaining and educational programs brought to this school have been made possible through his efforts. Whatever he does, he does for the good of the school. Another trait which makes him an excellent and well-liked principal is that he takes such a vital interest in each individual. No matter how busy he is, he at all times maintains that characteristic of patience, and understanding. He also has quite a faculty for speaking before groups of all types. He can invariably find something appropriate and of interest to his listeners. Miss McKain was graduated from North Platte High School in 1930, and for the past four years has been Mr. Nelson ' s secretary. Her -duties and re- sponsibilities have ' increased with the growth of the school. Nevertheless, she always has the time to help various organizations. During her high school career she took part in many activities, having the leading roles in both the junior and senior class plays. This is Miss McKain ' s third successive year to hold the presidency of the National Honor Society. North Platte is her home. Undoubtedly, she has been of great assistance to Mr. Nelson and the of- fice force. —11— R. CEDRIC ANDERSON A. B.

Faculty —14— THE CURRICULUM There are eight courses offered in North Platte High School, six of which lead to graduation. The College Preparatory courses are as follows: Classical, General, Engineering, and Normal Training. The other courses leading to graduation, other than College Preparatory are the following: Stenographic, Bookkeeping and Accounting, Home Economics, and In- dustrial Arts. These courses do not lead to graduation: Home Arts and Trades. These constants are required in all courses: English I, II, III, IV, V, VI; Physical Training I, II, IV; World History I, II; and American History I, II. In the twelfth grade, English VII is re- quired unless the students show proficiency in a standard test given at the close of English VI. The College Preparatory General Course requires Algebra I, II, Plane Geometry, Algebra III, IV, General Science, Civics, choice of a science, Ad- vanced Civics, Economics, American Literature, and a language. The student many choose to take two years of mathematics and two of language, or three years of one and one of the other. In the classical course, requirements are same only for the language. Latin VII and VIII are necessary. Engineering is identical except that solid geometry and trigonometry are required. In Normal Training, Agriculture, Rural Sociology, Biology, Reviews, Pro- fessional Training, and Public School Music are the requirements for gradua- tion. Civics, Vocations, Algebra or Home Arts, General Science, Business Train- ing, Commercial Arithmetic, Commercial Geography, Public Speaking, Com- mercial Law, Commercial English, Advanced Civics, Economies, Salesmanship, four semesters of typing, and four semesters of Shorthand are the require- ments for the Stenographic course. The Bookkeeping course is practically the same with an exception of Shorthand, and the addition of Bookkeeping. In the Home Economics course, the course of study is also much the same. Civics, General Science, Dramatics, Economics, Public Speaking, Advanced Civics, and Home Arts I, II, III, IV, V. VI. The Industrial Arts course requires Civics, Vocations, General Science, Agriculture, Commercial Geography, Manual Arts I, II, III, IV, Commercial Arithmetic, Mechanical Drawing, Economics, Auto Mechanics, and Civics. The short courses Home Arts and Trades, need only three years of High School and do not lead to graduation. The outline of study takes in two years of Home Arts of Manual Arts, Vocations, Civics, General Science, Commercial Arithmetic, Commercial Geography, English Reviews, Apprentice-ship, and Electives. The North Platte High School is a class A High School, fully accredited to the University of Nebraska and in the North Central Association of Colleges and High Schools. The graduates of this high school, when certified by the principal are admitted without examination to full standing in practically all institutions of higher learning in Nebraska and the Middle West. College Preparatory Courses are arranged to meet requirements of all colleges in Nebraska, a nd most colleges in the United States. In order to graduate, a student must meet the requirements of the course chosen and have a total of thirty-two credits. The normal load to be carried by a student is four solids, and Physical Training when required. In addition, the student may elect Band, Orchestra, Glee club or any other of the listed Electives. Experience shows clearly that it is unwise for a student to carry less than, or more than a normal load. Special permission must be obtained from the principal in case a student desires to do either of these. —15— ,ll THE CURRICULUM Science General Science — General Science is the foundation of higher sciences.

Two bands and one orchestra provide a graded course of systematic instruction; in the playing and appreciation of all types of music, sight reading, and the development of the proper technique in the playing of the individual ' s chosen instrument. Glee Clubs and Mixed Chorus — Much care is given to growing voices and study of the proper vowel formation as class exercises. The aim is artistic group work. A beginning girls club is maintained for those who have not the proficiency for the advanced club. Enrollment in the advanced club is by re- commendations of the instructor and Glee club members of the previous semes- ter. Work is motivated by presentation of the operetta, entrance in contests, participation in public appearances whenever requested, which is required for credit. Public School Music — This course is designed primarily for teaching the required Normal Training Music Course to senior classes in high school. It is designated by the state of the Nebraska Department of Public Instruction. —20— BONNIE B. BRETERNITZ President of the Senior Class ■ ' Htt or Bonnie B. Hobby : Trying to give speeches.

FLOWER Yellow Rose —33— SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Now that the blackest days of the depression are over and we look ahead with pleasure to better days, we cannot but feel that we have made progress in these years, 1931, 1932, 1933, and 1934. Let us review them! This class, consisting of one hundred sixty members, the first group of freshmen to move into the new building, entered at the beginning of the sec- ond semester of the year 1930. Because of the turmoil and confusion of start- ing the new semester in the new building, the class was unorganized. Many from their ranks became active in the outside activities of the year, represent- ing the class in Hi-Y, G. R., G. A. A., football, band, and other activities. Our second year, as sophomores, commenced with the members being more influential in the school ' s activities. Chester Jones taking part in basket- ball; Tony Gorman, Bill Turner, Bob Wilson, and Roderick Speetzen, played on the first team in football. Jeanne Fetter, being active in G. R., held the office of treasurer on the G. R. Cabinet; Bonnie B. Breternitz and Berniece Hiatt were both cabinet members of G. A. A.; Phyllis Selby served her second year on the Activities Board; Bonnie B. Breternitz was elected by the Student Council to act as Student-member-at-large and was a member of the Executive Board. The class was represented on the Hi-Y cabinet by Kenneth Derryberry, who was cabinet member-at-large, and Melvin Merritt held a similar position. Lillian Dempcy, Melvin Mann, Willis Shank, and Kenneth Derryberry were the four Student Council members for the class. Due to the hard work and the cooperation of the students, sponsors, and faculty of the class, we closed our sophomore year feeling that it had been a happy and successful one for each and every member. Our junior year the class held their first class meeting November 18, 1932. At that time the officers of the class were introduced. They were nom- inated by petition and later elected. President — Bonnie B. Breternitz, Vice President — Ted Woolsey, Secretary — Kay Yirak, and Sergeant-at-arms — Lester Aldrich. Mr. Nelson appointed the sponsors: Miss Owen, Miss Burrus, Miss W. Wilson, Miss Weaver, Miss Wunnenburg, Miss Watson, Miss Diener, Miss Walter, and Miss Bize. At this meeting the cast of the junior class play, Three Suns West, was made known. Phyllis Selby, one of the ingenue leads, played opposite Kenneth Derryberry, the hero, and Ruth Sawyer, the young Mexican ingenue, played opposite Ernest Jaeggi, the villian. Bonnie B. Breternitz brought honor to her class when she was elected president of the Student Council during her Junior year. Phyllis Selby, also made the class proud to claim her by reason of her election to the presidency of the Activities Board. On December 8 and 9 the class presented its play, entitled Three Suns West. The performances were both artistically and financially successful. The finale of the junior year was the junior-senior banquet held May 19 in the crystal room of the Pawnee hotel. The decorations and the program were representative of the Japanese theme. Joe Redfield was chosen toastmaster of the banquet, which proved to be a great success. Our motto We never stop till we reach the top, was originated by June Coverdell and Alice Adams wrote our class poem. The class colors were yel- low and white, with the daffodil as our flower. —34— SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fourth and last year of our sojourn in school, we had the honor of having Chet Jones chosen captain of the 1934 basketball team, Tony Gor- man as football captail of the ' 33 team, and Melvin Merritt was track captain. These boys proved to be exceptional in the athletics which they headed. Norman Ugai was also outstanding in football receiving mention for his work outside as well as in North Platte. Bonnie B. Breternitz was re-elected president of the class as well, as Kay Yirak who was re-elected to serve as vice-president. Jeanette Swenson was elected secretary, and Roderick Speetzen was chosen sergeant-at-ai-ms. Kay Yirak proved to be an asset to her class by her election to the presi- dency of the Pep club. Berniece Helms became the singer of the class, by portraying the lead in the operetta The Fire Prince, and by winning first place in the soprano section of the school music contest. Jeannette Swenson was chosen as editor of the annual from the senior class; Bonnie B. Breternitz, as managing editor; Mendel Hirschfeld served as business manager; Mary Muchlinski was copy editor; Florence Peterjohn as art editor; and Kay Yirak was editor for the senior class material. Other seniors on the staff were: Frank Pielsticker, assistant business man- ager; Ernest Jaeggi wrote the senior class history; Phyllis Selby, faculty edi- tor; Beth Chapman, G. A. A.; June Coverdell, coed editor; Margaret Atwood, assistant business manager; Mary E. Gutherless, girls ' organizations; Bessie Mullikin, senior class will, and Marianna Fonda, assistant copy editor, Jeanne Fetter, calendar. George Bacon was an influential member of the class, being president of the Hi-Y, captain of the band and serving as president of the Student Council for the second semester of his senior year. The class play, Remote Control, was presented March 2, 1934 and was a huge success. Jeanne Fetter portrayed the leading role of Helen, the young secretary and Roderick Speetzen played the juvenile lead of the world ' s great- est broadcaster. They had an exceptional supporting cast. The class does not forget the splendid sponsors which they possessed, and who helped to make the class the success it was. They were : Mr. Wright, Miss Brecht, Mr. Mayer, Miss Burrus, and Miss Weaver. Emerald green and gold were chosen as the senior class colors, with the yellow rose as their flower. The motto Not how much, but how well, was written by Bessie Mullikin and the poem entitled LEADERSHIP was written by June Coverdell. The farewell assembly was held when the juniors entertained the seniors at the Spring party held at the Pawnee hotel. The high school days came to a close as they marched down to their seats to hear the Baccalaureate sermon. The big finale came the next day at the commencement ceremony when one hundred twenty seniors were graduated. -35- SENIOR CLASS WILL Know all men by these present : That we the members of the class of One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-four, Senior High School, of the City of North Platte, in the County of Lincoln, State of Nebraska, and consider- ing the uncertainty of this frail mortal life and being desirous of settling our worldly affairs, and being of sound mind and memory, do make, ordain, pub- lish, and declare that our last will and testament in manner of form and that we do desire, bequeath, and dispose in the manner following, attest: We, Margaret Atwood and Mildred Baker, do will unto Gail Rector and Aileen Souder our red hair, respectively. 1, Sampson McNeel, do will unto Byron Jones, my dramatic ability.

It was particularly interesting because it was the first three dimension play to be presented in North Platte — .seeing, hearing, and hearing indirectly. Walter Brokenchild, the talkative hero announcer of the radio station, was accused of being the head of the Ghost Gang. This lead was portrayed by Roderick Speetzen. Remote Control was a mystery melodrama staged in a broadcasting studio. The authors are Clyde Nelson, Albert C. Fuller, and Jack Nelson. It was a three act play filled with action, humor and melodrama. To provide an authentic and desirable background for the photos, the entire cast of the senior class play was taken to radio station K. G. N. F., where action photographs were made.

The junior class contributed quite a few members to this year ' s football squad. Football is the school ' s most popular sport, and the junior class pro- vided two of its regulars. Byron Buck Jones was this year ' s regular tackle and was elected at the end of the season to be next year ' s captain. Buck ' s ambition is to play fullback. If you ask Buck about next year ' s team he replies, We ' re going to be champions. Gail Rector was this year ' s regular center, and gave a very acceptable account of himself. Other boys from the junior class who played the game were Lester Templin, who is expected to be one of North Platte ' s great offensive threats on the gridiron next fall. Bob Gormley probably will be next season ' s quarterback. Ted Anderson, Whittla Morris, Morris Lipp, and Don Pearre, will probably be the neucleus around which Coach Wilson will build his line. Next to football comes basket ball, in importance around our institution of learning. One of our tall juniors got the call at a regular forward position. Don Goodsell is this fellow. In the first game of the season Don went wild and scored 10 points, and near the end of the season high scoring became a habit with him. Six other boys were members of the B squad. To these boys on the B squad goes a lot ' of credit. Every one was out for practice every night. These boys ' effoi-ts are what makes the varsity squad what it is. For without a good B team the A team cannot get competkion strong enough to test their merits. These boys were Bob Gormley, Sam Wright, Lester Templin, Wil- ber Lyons, Jim Orr, and Ray McNeel. This might be called a case of unsung heroes, so hats off to them. Not so much is said of track as of football and basket ball, but in the hearts of its participants, it is just as important. Those on the team are Lester Templin, a sprinter; Willard Coons, and Sam Wright, pole vaulters; John —42— JJj lHf Top Row — Victor Janecek, Howard Adkins, Allen Mason, Delbert Lincoln, Eldon Drake, Bvron Jones, John Halvas.

These boys get the honorable mention in this sport, and much is expected of them in making this year ' s track team a success. Ted Anderson, after football season, could not leave the realm of sports, so he acted as student manager for Roy Mayer ' s freshmen basketball team. Milburn Mimmie Helms was one of the student managers for Coach Ivan Wilson ' s varsity football squad. When things got gloomy around the Bull- dog ' s camp, the fellows would look at Mimmie for some humorous remark to lift the gloom. With sports holding first place in extra-curricular activities, music comes sec- ond. The band claims a great number from our midst. First lieutenants were Bob Gormley, and Gail Rector. This marks the third successful year for both of these boys. Bob is the kind of boy that is a credit to any high school band. Gail has taken fust place in the bassoon at the state contest for two successive years. He also competed at the National High School contest in Evanston, Illinois last summer. Bob Chambers was a second lieutenant, this also is his third year in this organization. Ernest Wright was a quarter-master sergeant; Hil- bert Copeland, corporal; both of these boys are three-year members. Other members include: Robert Taylor, William Woods, Marshall Davis, Harry Tourtelot, Ross Hasse, Glenn Dorram, Morris Lipp, Claire Deats, Dale Broth- erton, and Whittla Morris. Valuable things come in small packages, is what some one said long ago, and this year u proved itself in Roy Jaynes, the junior class representa- tive, in the great brotherhood of high school cheer leaders. Always laughing and full of pep, Roy is one fellow that cobwebs will not gather upon. Governing bodies of different clubs through-out our school, laid claim to a large group of our juniors. In the Hi-Y club, Gail Rector was the vice-presi- dent and Bob Gormlev the secretary-treasurer. Other cabinet members were: Bob ' Chambers, Philip Romigh, and Claire Deats.

Cabinet members from the junior class were: Delores Schwerin, vice-president; Betty Baker, social chairman; Eleanor Templin, dancing leader; Geraldine Foster, basket ball leader; Wilma Bailey, secretary; Henrietta Fow- ler, treasurer. Out-standing features of the Blue and Gold Revue given at mid-year by the G. A. A., Orchestra, and Glee club, were the dance duets, The Skater ' s Waltz by Eleanor Templin and Mary Vroman, and the song, We ' ll Make Hay While the Sun Shines in which Betty Baker was featured as soloist. Other ' features were beyond reproach, but these were out-standing. The G. R. Cabinet claimed seven juniors, Jean Osborne, program chairman; Genevieve Smithers, devotional chairman; Eleanor Distel, song leader; Ada Nidia Soto, ring and pin chairman; Dorothy Hollman, vice-president; Margaret Tucker, secretary; Marietta Turpin, publicity chairman. A group of girls at- tended the G. R. Conference in Grand Island in February and many of them were juniors. Those elected to the Student Council from the junior class were: Gail Rector, Philip Romigh, Delores Schwerin, Lester Templin, Jean Osborn, Bob Gormley, Ina Cash, Mari? Duncan, Leone Duncan, and Dorothy Hollman. Gail ' Rector again brought honor to our junior class by being elected president of the Activities Board at the beginning of the year. Irene Neville and Morris Lipp of the junior class, were among the stu- dents to attain the honor of becoming members of Quill and Scroll. Four of this year ' s many annual staff members were juniors. Much praise goes to Morris Lipp, who has charge of the writing of the boys ' sports edit- ing. Dorothy Hollman did her share of the art work and helped greatly in mounting of pictures, and was a credit to this year ' s annual. Frederick Hendy had his share of work as boy ' s organization editor. Un- der this heading comes Hi-Y, Mixed Chorus, Band, Latin Club, Grippers, and Boys Gym. Don Pearre acted as junior class editor. -44— Top Row — Ben Gilmore, Vernon Woods, Paul DeLuna, Jim Orr. Bruce Heniger, Fred McEvoy. Harry Scott. Third Row — Melvin Meyers.

Three years have gone, with one to come We ' re ready for the last Though we hope before the starting That it will not go too fast. In one short year we ' ll wander Along life ' s broad highway, Let ' s hope we ' ll never flounder Any place along the way. For next year let our motto be, The top! Or better still, We ' ll hit the slope in second And in high we ' ll climb the hill. Our friends are all departing We are bidding them goodby, While we are only starting, They have climbed the hill so high.

Both nights were attended by large audiences, and the play was a dramacic and financial success. The story of the play was about a woman, Mrs. Castlejordan, who had three young girls. She had always wanted boys but had been sent a girl each time. Mrs. Castlejordan had raised the girls as boys. These girls, Noeline, Thomasin, and Wilhelmina, now in young womanhood, felt that, they were boys. They had been raised as boys and possessed masculine qualities. At that point three gallant young men made their appearance. They were Tweenwayes, A.ndre de Grival, and Barrington Litterly. The girls fell in love, Tommy with Tweenwayes, Willey with Andre de Grival, and Noel with Litter- ly. Tweenwayes and Andre were ' attacked by Ortis in the Castlejordan park, and were robbed ' and beaten by the poacher. Tweenwayes and Andre, in order to win favor with the young ladies, had Fitton tell the girls that they saved him from the poacher. , Mrs. Castlejordan was called to Washington and took Professor Minchen with her, leaving the girls in charge of Sergeant Shutter. As Mrs. Castlejordan left for Washington, Noel returned from there. When Mrs. Castlejordan and Professor Minchen returned they found the three couples in the gymnasium dancing, and ordered the girls to their room. As they returned each girl was attired in a beautiful evening dress.

It was active in all phases of school activi- ties such as scholarship, athletics, and numerous others. This unusually fine showing was due to the hardy cooperation of all the students, and to the help received from their sponsors. The sponsors were very valuable and we are proud that we were able to have them. They were: Miss Diener, Miss Hinman, and Mr. Anderson. Miss Diener was the head sponsor. The sophomore class saw no need of organizing, there being no particular class business, and what business there was, was taken care of by the sponsors. Therefore, the class did not elect any officers for the years 1933 and 1934. The sophomores started their school career back in 1924. Working right from the start they have been advancing very steadily in all phases of school life. On entering the Junior high school in the mid-semester of the year 1930 they showed probably more initiative in the junior high than any other class. One of the out-standing achievements was starting The Junior Gossip a student paper. This gave excellent training for those students who wished to continue in the journalistic line of work in High School. They started the first junior high school basket ball team consisting of the seventh and eighth grades. This basket ball team under the coaching of Mr. Dexter proved quite a successful ter.m. It was on this team that Floyd Newton started his athletic career. The class has many out-standing individuals both in scholarship and in athletics, chiefly because of constant studying and training and giving their utmost attention to school. The class had probably a larger representation in the Student Council than any other sophomore class has had in former years. -47— Top Row — John Porter, Lloyd Kirk.

SOPHOMORE CLASS The class members of the Student Council for the first semester were Adolph Wonka, Dorothy Jepson, Forrest Mehlman and Jim Carroll. Jim Car- roll was vice-president. The members belonging to the Student Council the second semester were Mary Dorothy Brown, Dorothy Jepson, Forrest Mehlman, Jim Carroll, and Esther Stenger. There was also a large representation of the class in the Latin Club. The sponsor was Miss Wunnenburg. It is a distinction to be a member of this club as the qualifications lequire an average of ninety in the Latin class. This makes the members of the upper part of the school ' s scholastic standing. In this club they reinact the doings of the old Romans. The officers of this club have corresponding names that they used in the political offices in Rome. The students have found this club very interesting and it also makes their course in Latin much more interesting and entertaining. Those who held the correspond- ing political offices which the Romans had, were: Forrest Mehlman and Mary Walden, councilers. The councilers were the main officers. They had the office which the notable Caesor had. Ardis Porter was the censor. The duty of the censor was to see that the senators were clean in their actions, and the cen- sor also had the power to deprive a person of his citizenship. Melva Olson was quaestor. Hazel Stenger was the tribune. The duty of the tribune was to represent the common people and veto bills passed by the Senate, but he was not allowed in the Senate. , ,, . Betty Glines, Montee Baker, Ladell Anderson, Esther Stenger and Francis Brott were aedile.s. There were many other Sophomores in this club. In the Math Club the class was also well represented. The Math Club was under the supervision of Miss Wilson and Miss Van Valkenburgh. This club is a very helpful club as it makes the Math class much more inter- esting The club went on many hikes which provided much enjoyment for the members. They also did many more things which were of interest to the mem- bers The Sophomore members were: Vivian Hanson, Robert Bivins, Isla Row- ley ' Adeline Wonka, Ada Jean Kirkman, David O ' Connell, Paul Karis, Don Haidenbrook, Alvin Kunkel, Luther Spraker, and Opal Smith. —48— .ll ti j  I .mm. - B 0 ■■ ir ' ■K J H V ' mmmW mAr ' v-m- HB WmmmW m .

SOPHOMORE CLASS Much more enthusiasm was shown by the class by having two of the three cheer leaders. It is very seldom that a sophomore class ever has a cheer leader. It is very seldom that a sophomore class ever gets such an honor be- stowed upon them. They were Mary Lou Robinson, a very peppy cheer leader and David O ' Connell, a boy well liked by all and a fine leader. These two had much to do with the response from the students at the games. So we feel that Mary Lou and David have done a lot in helping to make the sophomore class a success. The sophomore class was also largely responsible for the fine Pep club which represented the High School. The students put forth much energy try- ing to arouse enthusiasm among the student body. The members of this club are to be commended on their worthy efforts. The class members in the Pep club were Lucille Derr, Carroll Cashing, Helen Besack, Irene Huntington, Lois Owens, Earl Saunders, Aileen Souder, Marguerite Ugai, Adeline Wonka, Mary Dorothy Brown, Marian Calhoun, Ada Jean Kirkman, Mary Lou Robin- son, David O ' Connell, Opal Smith, and Marian Goodmanson. In the Girls Athletic Association there were many sophomore representa- tives and again we were honored by having some of our members on the cabi- net. They were: Ada Jean Kirkman, hiking chairman; Adeline Wonka, baseball chairman; Melva Olson, Nebraska ball chairman and deck tennis man- ager. There were twenty Sophomore Girls in the G. A. A. The sophomore class was also proud of the group of boys who were not afraid to exert themselves in the line of work and glad to give services to the school. These boys belonged to the Grippers. They did fine work back- stage on all occasions. They made and set up all the scenery for plays, as- semblies, and other occasions. They also contributed much of their time to this club and they should be honored for their work. These members were: Paul Karis, David O ' Connell, Don Hardenbrook, Kenneth Schroeder and Don Mattke. The members in the band, were: David Cramer, Montee Baker, Doris Schirley, Philip Mesueral, Forrest Mehlman, Don Parsons, Jack James, Glen —49— Top Row — Harley Wilkinson. Albert Kunkel.

Forrest Mehlman was the Sergeant-at-Arms and Don Parsons was a Corporal. In the declamatory contest several sophomores took part. They were: Montee Baker, who was in the oratorical division and took second place. Ada Jean Kirkman entered in the dramatic section and placed second. Luther Spraker took part in the humorous section and he also placed second. The great success of the Hi-Y was largely due to the class members who were members of this club. These boys took an active part in the organization and represented the class well. There were eleven Sophomores in the Hi-Y. There were many class members who also belonged to the Girl Reserves. This organization proved very successful. We were fortunate in having two girls on the cabinet from our class, they were Aileen Souder, social chairman, and Adeline Wonka, treasurer. There were fifteen members from the Sopho- more class. In athletics the sophomores were seen in action, in football especially. Floyd Newton made the 1933 first team. We are very proud of him as he did a great deal to help make the team. Floyd was an out-standing player and was as well liked off the field as on. Floyd made the South Western Conference and the school expects a great deal from him in his next two years. Wayne Lawrence was our other representative on the first team. Wayne was found ready for action at all times and we also expect much from him in the next two years. Jim Carroll was the Sophomore Editor for the Annual. So as we bring the School of 1934 to a close and look over all the things we have accomplished, we see that we were well represented in all phases of school activities, and have been advancing very rapidly since our entering dear old N. P. H. S. and we feel sure that when we have completed our high school career we will have the best class in the school ' s history. So lets go sophomores. And we also wish the forthcoming classes as much success as we have had. -50— Top Row : Robert Faulkner, Don Shoemaker, Gerald Seaburg. George Hansen. Carl Nelson.

FRESHMAN CLASS The present freshman class evidently realized the value of education, as two hundred twenty-three freshmen enrolled in the Noi ' th Platte Senior High School on Tuesday, September 5, 1933. Our own Franklin Junior High School contributed approximately sixty per cent of this enrollment. We fell we are justified in saying that North Platte High School has a high rating and a far reaching influence, because it has attracted students to it from distant parts. The results of a suivey revealed that one of our fresh- men came here from Herrick, South Dakota, and another from Portland, Ore- gan. In our own stace the loss of Sutherland, Sidney, Kearney, Lemoyne, Over- ton, Somerset, Moorefield. Hebron, Maxwell Eustis and Orleans was our gain. The country districts of Lincoln county are well represented in North Platte High School, by having at least one student from each district enrolled. From an examination of the enrollment cards, it was found that forty- four students of the class of ' 37 are taking General College Preparatory course. Twenty-four chose Normal Training and College Preparatory as the preferred course. Seventeen were interested in Scientific Engineering, sixty- two in Stenographic, twenty in Bookkeeping and Accounting, thirteen in In- dustrial Arts, two in the Commercial course and two in the Home Economics course. It is gratifying to note the plans being made Tor college, as evidenced by the large enrollment in the General College Preparatory course. The freshmen class has been well represented in all extra curricular ac- tivities to which freshmen are eligible. The fact that they are not eligible to all organizations in the Senior High School did not seem to discourage them in even a minor degree The number of freshmen giris in the Girls Athletic Association lacks only one of being as large as the membership in the Girl Reserve. Twenty-seven freshmen girls embraced the opportunity to become members of G. A. A. With such a variety of games as basket ball, soccer, baseball, Nebraska ball, drop-kick ball, and dodge ball, the interest of the girls is kept at a high point. -51— Top Row — Everett Hunting-ton, A trim- Schieler, Fred Becker, Lewis Cr;nulall.

FRESHMAN CLASS The freshman basketball team was composed of Loretta Geise, and Ardythe Wilson as forwards; Dorothy Marble, running center; Ellen Carper, and Jane Ruth Hirschfeld, guards; Barbara Birge, who acted as captain, jumping center; and Dorothy Ann Allen as substitute jumping center. They were chosen ac- cording to the practices they attended, and the tournament games in which they participated. We quote Miss Olney in regard to work in G. A. A. It is quite unusual for any freshman girl to receive an award in G. A. A., however this year there are several out-standing workers who may receive awards. It is probable that Barbara Birge, and Dorothea Newsome will receive their numerals this year. Dona Ayars, and Jane Ruth Hirschfeld, were the two freshmen who par- ticipated in the Blue and Gold Revue, sponsored by the G. A. A. which was presented February 9, 1934. The freshmen boys were very active in football and basket ball. The twins, Robert and Roland Faulkner, well represented the freshmen class, by making a letter on the varsity football team. Roland Reed, and Albert Hag- ans are the only two who lettered on the second football team , while the class was well represented on the Midget team by Bill Cheney, Robert Voseipka, Myron Schwerin, Wayne Snyder, and George Drost earning letters. We are proud to have Charles Mead on the varsity basket ball squad, and if he keeps playing as he has in the past, it is most probable that he will receive a letter this year. Continued work on the part of John Jones and Roland Reed will very likely place them on the letter list of the freshmen-sophomore squad. It is customary for Miss Watson, the Senior High School librarian to se- lect students to assist her each period of the day with library work. Grace Wilson was selected and has proved herself to be efficient in this position. She is to be complimented on being selected because a freshman seldom serves in this capacity. -52- Top Row — Russell Watkins, Erman Smith.

FRESHMAN CLASS Robert Voseipka, Gerald Seaburg, Fred Becker, John Jackson, Hugh Roettger, Carl Mehlman, and Richard Welborn, realizing they could derive enjoyment and knowledge from the Hi-Y, became members. Some of our class- mates evidently have ambitions to become another Einstein, as Joe Batie, Margaret Spurrier, Melvin Kelly, and Alberta Preitauer are finding recreation by associating with the upper classmen as members of the Math club. There are twenty-seven freshmen girls who are members of the Girl Re- serve organization. From this group three freshmen, Virginia McNeel, Dorothy Calhoun, and Lois Betty Selby were selected for a violin trio. As the Girl Re- serve officers were selected last year, while the present freshmen were yet in the eighth grade they hold no offiecs in the cabinet. However, several girls have served on various committees and have taken part in meetings in effic- ient manner. Elaine Oleson has done some outstanding work in table decora- tions for the social activities of the club. Promotions were in store for eight of our freshmen, whom Mr. Andei ' son considered capable of playing senior band music, and these students have dis- appointed neither their instructor nor class-mates in any way. There was only one more freshman in the junior band than in the senior band. It is quite a coincidence. Although there were no freshmen in the Senior Glee club, there were twelve in the Junior Glee club and five in the Junior Mixed Chorus. Truman DeForest, and Joe Batie had leads in the operetta, The Fire Prince. Dorothy Marble did a solo dance, and Phyllis Gunnarson, Bert Penrod, Marie Schiedle, and Dorothea Newsom were in the chorus. How proud we are to be able to state that thirty-three and one-third per cent of the orchestra is composed of freshmen. This is significant in that it shows that freshmen realize the opportunity they have, and are taking ad- vantage of it. Even if their music does not become a vocation, it can be a hobby which will bring much pleasure to themselves and others. There are four -53— Top Row — Howard Shaner, Myron Schwerin, Lewis Prieto, Edward Morgan, George McFadden.

The pit orchestra, a group which is selected to play for entertainments, has in its personnel two freshmen; namely, Dorothy Calhoun and Virginia McNeel. Barbara Birge was selected to act as freshmen editor on the Annual staff staff for the 1934 Annual. The freshmen class has shown a splendid interest in all activities of the high school. We offer as proof of this statement, the large number of fresh- men who purchased activities books. They have enthusiastically supported en- tertainments by their presence and courteous attention. We freshmen, knowing full well The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight ; But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. Were toiling upward in the night. (Birds of Passage — Longfellow) are far from discouraged. We do not envj our fellow school-mates, the seniors. In.- tend we are glad we have three years in which to reach the ranks they now hold. Those years are full of opportunities for our mental, moral, and physical growth. In this time we can form many delightful friendships, can add many pleasing memories of high school days to those of our first eight years of school. We have made a commendable beginning, and with the encouragement of our instructors, and fellow-class-mates we shall make an enviable record. —54— ' I , I ■ I I I , ' Px M ' : Top Row — Morris Lipp, George Snell.

FOOTBALL TEAM Although North Platte did not duplicate its past performances of twice winning the Southwest Conference football championship, a successful season is recorded in the achievements of North Platte football history. Practice was hindered at the start of the school year because of the de- lay in receiving the new football equipment. The gridiron aspirants, however, were not dismayed by this hindrance, as they reported to practice in sweat clothes. Calisthenics and fundamentals of football figured during this early period. As time marched on, the team found itself and quickly developed into a traditional Blue and Gold athletic aggregation under the tutorship of Ivan Wil- son, who was so capably assisted by Keith Neville, former North Platte coach of earlier days, and Don Snyder, former North Platte star halfback. Every squad has its out-standing individuals who perform in such a man- ner that they receive recognition. Three Bulldogs were placed on the all-con- ference team selected by the coaches. These were: Norman Ugai, Byron Jones, and Floyd Newton. Lester Aldrich and Russell Glines were given honorable men- tion. Ugai, Jones, and Newton received honorable mention awards on the all- state selection of Gregg McBride. leading Nebraska sports writer. North Platte lost two games of their nine scheduled contests which in- eluded the major grid teams from Sidney to Omaha. The first loss occurred at Gothenburg, October 20, when the inspired Swedes downed the fighting Bull- dogs 14 to 0. Next week, October 27, the determined Bulldogs made the long trip to Lincoln, but the powerful Lincoln team defeated North Platte 20 to 7 in the hardest fought game on North Platte ' s schedule. Many sport fans ac- claimed North Platte ' s stubborn stand in this game, and the loss was honoi-able. The more pleasant victories were from Kearney, October 6, 19 to 7 ; Oma- ha North, November 11, 20 to 13; Cambridge, November 24, 59 to 0; Curtis Aggies, November 30, 48 to 6. The out-of-town wins came from McCook, No- vember 3, 30 to 7; Sidney, November 17, 19 to 0. —55— FLOYD NEWTON 160 pounds A - 1 ' ! ' Halfback Sophomore The one who won the laurels of football this year was Floyd Newton, who rose from obscur- ity on the reserve team to one of the greatest halfbacks in local history Floyd was especially fast. Offensively he could do anything — run with the ball, c a t «- h passes, or block. Defensively he featured as a tackier and at returning punts. TONY GORMAN 148 pounds Age 17 Fullback Senior Our lO. ' io football captain was in his prime this season and performed efficiently as the team ' s punter and hard-hitting fullback. However, Tony was injured in the McCook game and was not allowed to participate for several weeks. Tony had a great love for football and was always willing to work for the betterment of tin- entire team. LESTER ALDRICH 150 pounds Age 1? Quarterback Senior North Platte ' s star passer was Lester Aldrich who was rated as one of the finest passers in Nebraska high school competi- tion. ' ' Les was an honorable mention winner in the south- western conference rating. Passing was not his only abil- ity, for Les was an excep- tional quarterback, knowing how and when to call certain plays, and incessantly calling them correctly. NORMAN UGAI 1 19 pounds Age 17 Guard Senior Stepping mi and filling the position made vacant by ins brother, Fred, Norman Ugai was one I North Platte ' s mosl spec tacular players. Norman started the season playing end bul was shifted i guard in order t strengthen the Bulldog ' s forward wall As a resull of Norma ' s ' ex cellent work he was honored as all-conference guard, and given a II -stale honorable mention. ROBERT WILSON 158 pounds Age 17 End Senior Alter hard wmk on the var- sity st pi ad, ami with a. natural -Mi Cor playing football, •■Bob Wilson played a regular position of halfback last year. The postiions of place kicker, pass catcher, and line smasher all rested ui the shoulders of Bob, who performed these tasks for the team in a cred itabic manner. n BYRON JONES 1 1 7 pounds A.ge I 3 Tackle Junior A well-known football player was By nm Join ' s, cap tain-elect tor 1 934. His fame was spread by ins wonderful performance as a lineman, perhaps one of the besl in North Platte ' s loot- ball history. I luck was a hard-hitter in all-around play. He tackled and blocked hard, proving to be the central attraction in the line by backing up every play in a creditable manner. ;-,.; ft WAYNE FILBERT 144 pounds Age IS Halfback Senior Forward passes were Flip ' s particularly outstanding feature in his h i g h school football career. He pave the fans many thrills with h i s spectacular catches of long- forward passes from the hands of Lester Aid- rich . Not only was Wayne capable of catching: passes, but he could block with devastating results for the opponents. GAIL RECTOR 163 pounds Ag-e 15 Center Junior Another o f North Platte ' s talented football players was Gail Rector, who could perform capably in almost any position. Gail was an efficient blocker. and tackled with devastating aim and power. He started North Platte off on their successful season by blocking - a punt, con- tinuing- throughout the season to give a brilliant display of football technic. RODERICK SPEETZEN 153 pounds Age 17 End Senior This year marked the close of Roderick Speetzen ' s colorful and successful high school football career. Speedy displayed his talent of catching difficult for- ward passes throughout the sea- son, particularly when the Blue and Gold needed to put the ball far into the opponent ' s territory. Speedy was outstanding in the line as an aggressive end around whom t h e opponents failed to make much yardage. RUSSE LL GLINES 14s pounds Age 17 Tackle Senior North Platte ' s mainstay upon the line, offensively and defen- sively, was Russell Glines. Rus- sell filled the position of tackle in such a commendable manner that he was given honorable mention on the southwestern conference honor roll. Friday came out with the true football spirit of the North Platte Bulldogs and won a reg- ular position on the team as pecompensation for his work. ELMER HOSFORD 147 pounds Age 17 Fullback Senior Elmer Hosford held down the regular fullback position and was the team ' s star punter. After Curly was in the lineup, the backfield performed as a veteran aggregation. He was a fine blocker and gave an outstanding performance in the Thanksgiving Day classic. His defensive work was also com- mendable. -57- ALVIN ARMSTRONG 1 )7 pounds Age 16 Guard s- ■ i One of North Platte ' s tough- est linemen was Alvin Armstrong who played regular as guard Army was little but mighty enough to plow beneath his larger opponents when on the defense. Offensively Alvin ' s blocking was a credit to himself and the team. Army was also a good tackier and could be found in the midst of every play. This was Alvin ' s first year on til - varsity team WHIT MORRIS 140 pounds Age 15 Guard Junior The scrappiest little fighter on the team was Whit Morris who is making a name for him- Bell on the gridiron, due to his football fighting ability. Whit showed opponents hard blocking and tackling With unusual intuition, Whit is a quick-thinker who gets in the midst and works for the team. Whit will come back next year to hold down a regular posil ton. ELDRED MERRICK 140 pounds Age 17 End Senior Catching passes when North Platte needed gains in yardage was Eldred Merrick ' s outstand- ing feature of play. Swede made himself a credit to the team through his ability to catch passes. He did not confine his abil- ities to pass-receiving, but was also an excellent blocker and. tackier. His aggressiveness did not allow the opponents to make any gain around his end. MELVIN MERRITT 148 pounds Age 10 End Senior Melvin Merritt was noted for versatility on the gridiron. Lefty - ' could play either end or halfback, and with his speed, showed up very nicely. He also was one of the first men down on punts and was adapted to pass-receiving;. Lefty was one of the Bull- dogs who made the holes and blocked the opponents in order that the man with the ball could score. WAYNE LAWRENCE L35 pounds Age L5 Guard Sophomore Lean. last and powerful Wayne Lawrence became a fine guard for the Blue and Gold Wayne started OUt as an end but was found to be more valu able to the team in the midst oi tin- line. In the interference, Wayne proved his driving ability by blocking out larger and more experienced opponents. His apeed enabled him to move quickly in every play. JACK McLEESTER 14 pounds Age 17 Tackle Senior Being a tall and lithe athlete. Jack was fitted to be a tackle on the Blue and Gold squad, and in due time was one ol the tackle understudies. When Jack played, he showed bis football ability by his cool, collected manner, and quick thinking in a pinch. Jack was also an effi- cient tackier and blocker. —58— DON PEARRE 1 50 pounds Age 10 Guard Junioi With an ardent love for the game, Don Pearre proved his ability by outplaying larger op- ponents in a manner which was a credit to him and the team. Don had extraordinary foot- ball intuition, derived from fol- low ing the game. He simw ed 1 1 1 ii i -ei i to be a terror on de- fensive work, and a hard-WOI ' k- ing blocker. 4 JOE REDFIELD 161 pounds Age Hi Tackle Senior Joe Redfield started the sea- son playing: regular tackle and was at the acme of perfection. However, injuries prevented him i pom playing more football. Joe was big- enough for any opponent and due to the fact that he had acquired game ex- perience, his loss was keenly Eelt. Joe was fast and could till any hole in the line with his devastating block. ROBERT FAULKNER 160 pounds Age 16 Tackle Freshman Like his twin brother. Robert Faulkner made a great name for himself as a Faulkner, as did Paul and Claude. Rob showed unusual speed for his size. On the line he towered others with his physical superiority, and outplayed more experienced men. Rob ' lias excellent possi- bilities in his remaining thive years of competition. BOB GORMLEY 1 50 pounds Age 15 Quarterback Junior This year Bob Gormley played quarterback because of his knowledge of football and his team generalship. Bob had an uncanny and un- erring insight for calling sig- nals.

His enormous build made it possible for him. a freshman, to outplay many other upper classmen. When -Roily tackled in opponent, he stayed tackled. LESTER TEMPLIN 144 pounds Age 17 Halfback Junior When Lester Templin found that he could outrun his would- be tacklers, he became one of North Platte ' s scoring powers. His speed enabled him to tackle, block, score, and catch passes. l.e- lias a physique which gave him power to hit, and hit hard. It was with the greatest difficulty that opponents could StOP l-r- . Coming back next year. lies will hold down a regular half- back position. TED ANDERSON 140 pounds Age 15 Center Junior Playing his initial year « i varsity football. Ted became the center understudy a 1 t e r working hard for the position. His pass was nearly perfect as a center, and Ted showed skill on the defense as a tackier with extraordinary ability. Ted had a grand football in- tuition and could diagnose plays before they were executed. He will be back next year and ma possibly hold down a regular pivot position. —09— ,ll COACH IVAN W. WILSON The coach who grains the un- wavering- confidence of his boys, is the coach who turns out the winning- team. Such is the case of our coach. Ivan Wilson, who turned out the successful grid squad of 1933 even better than in former years. It was remarked that the North Platte football squad, while on the trip to Lincoln, looked to be a fine assemblage of athletic youths. Only through the everlasting efforts of Coach Wilson was this true. MORRIS LIPP 155 pounds Age 16 Tackle Junior No man can give larger con- tributions than the man who gave the best he knew how. Battling each night in scrim- mage, Morris showed the real example of sportsmanship even though he did not participate in any varsity games. If Morris carries on in life as in his football attempts in high school, success is bound to come his way. Lippy will come back next year, attempting to fill a tackle position. • ' Mimmie Helms, Carroll Cashing, Kenneth Wiesner. STUDENT MANAGERS This year the team was at- tended by three student man- agers, who did the work that accompanies the grand game of football. Taking care of the equipment, field, and injuries, the student managers deserve much credit for t h e faithful work they performed. Mimmie, Cosh and ' ■Ken- ny ' performed all duties hi true Bulldog spirit. —60— GEORGE SNELL 150 pounds Age 17 Tackle Senior George Snell was another understudy tackle who worked all season taking the knocks of the first team. George was re- warded for his efforts by play- ing in the Thanksgiving Day game against the Nebraska School of Agriculture of Curtis. George formerly resided in Curtis and knew the opponents well. .ll SWS . OMAHA NORTH GAME In the major grid contest on North Platte ' s schedule Armistice Day, No- vember 11, the powerful North high team of Omaha, lost to our Bulldogs 20 to 13. This game was thrilling from the initial kickoff to the closing sun. Before the game had been under progress for seven minutes, the ball was returned to North ' s 2 yard line by a fake punt return of Lester Aldrieh ' s. Les side-tepped a would-be Viking tackle and passed a lateral pass to Floyd New- ton. The next play, another lateral pass play to Newton, resulted in the first touchdown of the contest. The try for point was good. North Platte ' s second score occurred after a series of hard-driving plays from their own 30-yard line. Newton scored on an end run and Bob Wilson again converted the try for point. An inspired crew of Vikings from Nebraska ' s metropolis came out in the second half and drove down the field and Dougherty, North fullback, scored, but failed to make the extra point. The highlight of the game was Floyd Newton ' s broken field run of 80- yards, who had eluded three tacklers on a punt return. Towards the close of the game Dougherty executed a 30-yard pass to Fitch who dashed along the sideline to score. Fitch, Viking quarterback, kicked the extra point. Much credit must be given to those un-lauded Bulldog linemen whose ef- ficient blocking made possible those long runs. Under the instructions of Coach Wilson, that every play is a scoring play, each man on the team must cooperate by blocking and carrying out his as- signment. The Omaha North-North Platte game was one fine example of near per- fect team-work. Both teams were fighting to their utmost for the honor and glory of their school, and only by this true co-operation can any team play credible football and sometimes win. One of the largest crowds in local football history attended this gala game on Armistice Day. The air was crisp and it was a true fooftall day. The laige crowd also brought in the unusually large gate receipt of $ddb.8o. -61— .ll t- •itw- - ' - -V KEARNEY GAME Inaugurating North Platte ' s 1933 grid season, the game against Kearney was one of the most colorful of the year, in rivalry for the football supremacy of southwestern Nebraska. Kearney, perhaps next to Gothenburg, ha.s had much competition with North Platte. In 1920 when the Bulldogs defeated the Bearcat? by the ignom- iniously large score of 61 to 0, relations becween the .schools were partially strained. Up until this time the Kearney-North Platte feud existed strongly, although the spirit of rivalry was friendly. It has not been until lately that the two schools have competed against each other. Now in football, basket ball, track, music, and scholarship, good- natured rivalry is apparent. Kearney ' s entrance into the Sou thwest Confer- ence has made this spirit even more colorful. Much of Kearney ' s new zeal and enthusiasm is due to their new athletic director, Harlan Wva ' nt, former Gothenburg coach, who bestows upon his ath- letic aggregations, his own keen rivalry against Ivan Wilson and his blue and gold teams. October sixth was a perfect football day. There was that slight frosty tinge that completes a true football contest as the royal blue and gold of North Platte, contested against the navy blue and gold of Kearney. After three plays, Gail Rector, Bulldog center, crashed through the Bear- cat defense and blocked a punt, which was recovered by North Platte on Kear- ney ' s 24-vard line. On the next play North Platte scored when Wayne Filbert caught a pass from Lester Aldrich for the first touchdown of the game— all inside of five minutes. Later in the first quarter Moran, Kearney halfback, punted to North Platte ' s 27-vard line. On the next play Floyd Newton, sophomore halfback, crashed through right tackle and, with amazing interference provided by his team-mates, scored the second touchdown from a 73-yard sprint. Early in the third quarter, Newton duplicated his former run with a 58- vard dash assisted by the same devastating interference. Moran tallied for Kearney in the fourth session after they had driven up the held with a smash- ing oft ' ense that North Platte was unable to halt. —62— FOOTBALL AND BAND Formerly football was played in some vacant lot or ground surrounded by a delapidated wooden bleacher with seats for a very few persons. The re- mainder of the on-lookers stood around the sidelines or perched on nearby buildings. Today the game is played on an entirely different basis. There is a blue grass gridiron, carefully attended and groomed, and a concrete stadium that seats 1500 sports, as the site for the gala performances. From start to finish, the football games here at North Platte were just like a regular performance of a show. This, however was only possible through the cooperation of the athletic and music departments, headed by Ivan W. Wil- son, and R. Cedric Anderson respectively. When the blue and gold replaced the maroon and white in the high school, both Mr. Wilson and Mr. Anderson were equally enthusiastic in having blue and gold athletic organizations and band. With perfect harmony the band, assisted loyally by the Pep club, and the football team, put on their show. When North Platte emerged from beneath the goal posts, the band struck up the school song, Onward North Platte with direct response from the Pep club and student body. While the team was warming up on the field, the band under the direction of R. Cedric Anderson, entertained the impatient throngs. Accompanying each kickoff was the drum roll — sock — Onward North Platte! Every kickoff was accompanied by this familiar roll off, and has be- come a traditional bond between the team and the band. During the half of each game, the band and the Pep club drilled on the field, forming letters and designs. This required rehearsals and often times one could observe the Pep club and band practicing at eight o ' clock, in the mornings before the games. The band accompanied the team on a number of trips out-of-town, and with the inspirational backing of the Bulldog band, some of the victories were assured. -63— FOOTBALL CROWD North Platte High School has been fortunate in having a generous school board accompanied by a devoced following of sport fans thac supported the team at home and out of town, winning or losing. Even at the long practice sessions south of the athletic field, sport follow- ers, interested in the destiny of the team, gathered to watch the Bulldogs re- hearse, and for many of the alumni to think back on the good old days. If an athletic organization is properly backed by the citizens, alumni, and student body of a city, i: will win the majority of their games. North Platte ' s football team was unusually fortunate this year in winning nearly all of then- grid contests, the loyal backing of the people of North Platte making it pos- sible. In a winter of adverse circumstances for many, the gate receipts for the home games of North Platte ' s 1933 football season were quite high. A total amount of $939.65 was taken in at the gates for the five home games. The novelty game at the opening of the season against a team composed of alumni gridscers brought in $66.05. Most of this came from the interested graduates of North Platte High School who wished to see their representation defeat the high school ' s pride and glory. Kearney ' s game realized $105.60. The game versus Cambridge only figur- ed $60.45. On Armistice Day, the major game of the season, the North Platte- Omaha North clash, $336.85 was netted. The final game of the year brought in the sum of $370.70. This was the Thanksgiving Day classic between the Blue and Gold and the Curtis Aggies. In all $939.65 was the grand total of receipts taken in from the five games. For advertising $61.50 was expended and $618.84 for guai-antees to visit- ing teams. $848.85 was issued for football equipment of all sorts that helped in making North Platte ' s football team one of the most colorful in the state prep circles. Clarence F. Wright was in charge of all ticket sales assisted by O. H. Johnson, Roy Mayer, Ray Larson, Charles McCrone, Don Mattke, Lois Van Valkenburgh , Louise Bize , and Helen Owens. H. H. Newman had charge of the stadium itself and was responsible for the construction of a bleacher for the grade school pupils assisted by his manual training department. —64— C yr 4 ' Top Row — Don Hardenbrook.

RESERVE SQUAD The reserve football squad is the aggregation of the more or less inex- perienced football aspirants who by their scrimmaging against the varsity team form an important factor in the football success of North Platte High School. Their utilization as a dummy team against the first string ' s new of- fense plays give the coaching staff some ideas just how the new plays will work aaainst the real opponents. For defensive work the reserve team is given the ball and the first string gets some valuable tackling practice. However, the reserve team, .so ably coached by Ralph Dexter, had a foot- ball season all of their own with six games, three in North Platte and three out-of-town. When the reserves are not working against the varsity they have their own practice sessions, plays, conditioning work, and fundamental play. First at Farnam, the reserves lost 7 to 6 in a tight game. The Gothen- burg reserve team dropped the next game here 20 to 0. Stapleton, ancient rival of the reserve team, tied on a game here to 0. The reserves defeated the strong Curtis Aggie reserve team 19 to 0, and in a game at Gothenburg won 12 to 0. In the last game the reserves won a decisive 13 to victory over the Stapleton team. Many of this reserve team will hold down regular positions on the varsity- squad next year, and with the efficient drilling received from Coach Ralph Dexter will be ably fitted to fill in the vacancies left by graduation. The lettermen included: Captain Claire Deats, Roland Reed, Cecil Pease, Albert Hagens, Mendel Hirsehfeld, Raymond Gillispie, Marvin Larson, Wilbur Lyons, Melvin Seaton, Willard Coons, Boyd Dougherty, Veldon Foster David Smith, Kurt Lehman, Earl Jackson, Kenneth Brooks, Kenneth Schroeder, Vic- tor Tatman, Milton Lamphere. If it were not for the extensive opposition furnished by the reserve team, North Platte ' s varsity team would never have had such a successful season I was that real game ' opposition that made the varsity so powerful in then- strong season. Only by observation of the team under game conditions can the playing status be determined and elementary faults corrected. -65— Top Row — Mr. Mayer, Orson Parks. Lewis Fristo, Bob Nisley.

MIDGET SQUAD Once more the amazing Midget turned in another perfect season with only one game, that lied. This is one athletic aggregation which does nothing but win games from rivals sometimes larger and heavier than they; scrimmage the reserve team; and under the tutorship of Roy W. Mayer, learn the neces- sary fundamentals of football. Quite a number of junior high school athletes came out on the Midgets along with a large number of freshmen and sophomores. This drilling forms these youths into prospective grid candidates for the varsity squad. Some of these boys go out for the Midgets without any knowledge of football at all, and leave the organization with somewhat of a knowledge of football, al- though there is much more to learn. The athletic department of North Platte certainly had an eye towards the future when the Midget team was organized; football candidates for the next four years or so, are assured and their status is determined. Out of five contests, the Midgets won four and tied one. The first game was here against Lexington when the Bullpups won 19 to 0. Gothenburg, an ancient rival of the Midgets, tied to with them at North Platte. At Stapleton the Bullpups won a 6 to victory. In a return game here, Gothenburg lost 20 to 0. This was the finest game played by the Midgets. In the closing game here Stapleton scored a lone touchdown, but the Bullpups won 12 to 6. Nineteen boys lettered under Coach Mayer, and impressive chenille letters forming 1933 awarded to the following: Captain Jim Carroll, Milton Lamphere, Mike Gorman, Glen Peters, Bill Cheney, Bill Waltemath, Tom Laws, Adolph Wonka, Orson Parks, Jack Jones, David Cramer John Darden Robert Vosiepka, Myron Sehwerin, Wayne Snyder, George Drost, Harley Wilkinson, Lawrence Newton, Henrv Westphal. Purposes of the Mideets can never be lauded too highly, as they are truly one organization that Is worthwhile and a real benefit to any youth who, with mental and physical fitness, wants to play football and learn of it ' s great pos- sibilities. —66— Top Row — Wilbur Lyons, Buck Jones, Don Goodsell.

BASKETBALL TEAM Basketball took its place next to football as an extra-curricular activity that brought an unusual number of sport followers backing the Blue and Gold. The wide range of opponents and the fine teamwork of the Bulldogs put high school ba.sket ball in the limelight. North Platte ' s basketball schedule was opened here December 19 against Cambridge, who bowed before the Bulldogs 49 to 15. Cozad came close to de- feating North Platte January 5, but the Blue and Gold edged out a 15 to 11 victory there. At Ogallala January 8 the Bulldogs won 32 to 9 in an easy game. Sidney administered the first defeat to North Platte January 12 on the Sidney court 25 to 21. The home court proved advantageous to North Platte who won three consecutive games on it: January 16, Kearney, 34 to 24; Jan- uary 18, McCook, 34 to 19; January 26, Lexington, 24 to 20. In North Platte ' s first bid for recognition in eastern basketball, Fremont upset the Blue and Gold 32 to 19 there February 1. On the trip home from Fremont the Bulldogs stopped off at Gothenburg where they defeated the Swedes 28 to 12 on February 2. Champions of the Southwest Conference — the Nebraska School of Agri- culture at Curtis — won over North Platte February 9 there by a 19 to 13 score. Gothenburg again lost to North Platte in a return match at North Platte February 16 by a score of 21 to 17. On February 23, Holdrege dropped a contest here 34 to 24 in North Platte ' s last home game. North Platte lost to Cheyenne March 2 in the closing game at the short end of a 22 to 14 score. The Bulldogs made its first serious threat in state prep competition by ousting the Hastings quintet 21 to 18, in the state tournament at Lincoln in March. However Crete put North Platte out of the running in the second round, 28 to 17. Crete was runnerup of the tournament. Hastings was expect- ed to be one of the leading teams in the tournament, and North Platte ' s sur- prise victory has given them much comment. In this tournament Chester Jones was placed on the honorable mention roster by his excellent work, through-out the two games that North Platte played. Every member of the squad playing at Lincoln gave North Platte a good name in state prep circles. —67— FLOYD NEWTON Forward Sophomore You could always find Floyd Newton in a basketball contest — in the midst of the melee just as he was in football. Perhaps his football intuition kept him in these scrambles. Floyd portrayed the true Bull- dog 1 spirit on the court and his speed and accuracy made him an outstanding figure. TONY GORMAN Guard Senior Tony was the always depend- able guard who, along- with ■•Flip. took the ball down on the offense, and with expert maneuvering and p a s s i n g brought it under the basket for North Platte to tally a score. Tony is one of the un-sung stars that works hard so others can score, and receives the lion ' s share of the credit. Tony has ■ ompleted a number of years on the Blue and Gold teams, and his graduation will be keenly felt. CHESTER JONES Center Senior Captain Chester Jones has cli- maxed three years of excellent basketball for North Platte and has proven to be one of the most outstanding cage stars in local basketball. Chet is tall and lanky, en- abling him to outjump taller and larger opponents. His floor- work and unusual wrist-move- men t with the ball . was one reason for his scoring such a great number of points. LESTER ALDRICH Forward Senior ' Les ' Aldrich is one example of the sport maxim that a good little man is better than a good big man. Although small, Les had fighting zeal and pep that gave him advantages over many others. His dribbling, passing,; and shooting were all fine, and h in- ability to click with any aggre- gation on the court showed him as a truly outstanding baskcteer WAYNE FILBERT Guard Senior Principally a defensive man, Wayne Filbert rendered an out- standing basketball performance during the past season. Flip did not have many occasions ii the offense with the hall, but when he attempted a set-up, it was usually a tally for North Platte. The only other occasion for ■Flip handling the ball was dribbling down the court, and passing, at which he was pro- ficient. His defensive guarding was a highlight of our play. —68— ,ll s 1 NORMAN UGAI Forward Senior Norman Ugai has completed one of the most colorful high school athletic careers, w i t n outstanding: contributions i n football ami basketball. Pilling his brother ' s position again Irish gave his utmost on the basketball court. His floorwork in general was very fine and his rare shots often tallied for the Blue and Gold. CHARLES MEAD Center Freshman For the first time in years there was a freshman on the varsity basketball team. Charles Mead was the lucky one. • ' Bud is exceptionally tall, aggressive, and has a fighting spirit for basketball. With the experience of another year Bud should develop into one of North Platte ' s finest hoop- men. RODERICK SPEETZEN Forward Senior Roderick Speetzen had a true shooting eye which enabled him to thrill the fans with many long arched shots, that found their mark. Speedie was a fast and hard playing lad who got into a game and ' gave everything he had. His colorful playing will be missed by the sport followers. DON GOODSELL Forward Junior The only regular junior on the varsity cage squad was Don Goodsell. who by his hard work and ability, made for himself a position on the team . Don was unusually capable for passing the basketball accur- ately and swiftly, and his agility and height enabled him to take the ball off the backboard in good form. Next year Don will probably be North Platte ' s mainstay. BYRON JONES Guard Junior Proficient at a n y sport. Buck gave a good accounting for himself in basketball the past year. He had a love for the game that made it even more easy for him. No opponent was tiio big for Buck who ranked highly as one of North Platte ' s scrappiest, basketeers. Buck loved to make long arched shots that thrilled the audience, and tallied two more points for the Blue and Gold. —69— NORTH PLATTE DEFEATS HOLDREGE As the closing game for North Platte in the Southwest Conference, Hold- rege lost to the Bulldogs 34 to 14 on February 23 in one of the Blue and Gold ' s finest home games. North Platte entered this game with a considerable disadvantage — Lester Aldrich and Floyd Newton, both regulars, were unable to participate because of illness. However, Aldrich was substituted for a short time. All of the rest of the Bulldogs were in the peak of condition for this last game of the con- ference. Hitting their stride early in the contest, the Blue and Gold began scor- ing on all sorts of shots. Captain Chester Jones, center, and Don Goodsell, forward, tied for scoring honors with five field goals each. Nearly all of these field goals were long shots, but perfect set-ups figured prominently. Roderick Speetzen thrilled the fans with a number of long shots, four of which tallied, from behind the foul line. His shooting eye was exceptionally bright in this game. Particularly out-standing through-out the entire game was the work of the guards, Tony Gorman and Wayne Filbert. They passed, drib- bled, and showed up in good form by their careful guarding. North Platte had no luck at all with foul shots in this game. Not a single shot was completed of seven personals chalked up against the Dusters. Seven- teen field goals gave North Platte their 34 to 14 victory over Coach Lefler ' s Dusters. Nearly every individual on the Holdrege quintet shared in the scoring, but not one made more than one field goal. Anderson, Duster forward, was the main threat and messed quite a number of the Bulldog ' s plays destined for scores. North Platte has been playing Holdrege now for a number of years in basket ball. Holdreae is a member of the Southwest Conference and has been for many years a serious threat in basket ball. North Platte does not play Holdrege in football because of the distance between the two cities. The Nebraska School of Agriculture at Curtis won the Southwest Confer- ence with North Platte taking runner-up laurels. North Platte lost one confer- ence game as did Kearney, but North Platte played one more game than they, giving the Bulldogs second place. —70— Top Row — Roland Reed. Wayne Lawrence, Melvin Staples.

Mayer, also senior class sponsor and physics and chemistry instructor. The Bullpups, as they were commonly called, had a slate of nine contests of which they won seven. Their opponents were the reserve teams of neigh- boring towns with players who were usually seniors and juniors. North Platte only had freshmen and sophomores on their Bullpup team and when they are able to defeat teams composed of upperclassmen, that most certainly is an achievement of which North Platte High School can be truly proud. Winning first from the Hershey reserve quintet 31 to 9 in the initial home game on December 19 was an honor in itself. Practice sessions had been under way for two weeks only, and it was an unexperienced and rather awk- ward cage aggregation that won this early game. One of the finest games was the game which the Bullpups won at Ogal- lala 34 to 10 over the reserve team there, on January 8. The Arnold reserve team last on January 12, 16 to 10 at North Platte. The worst upset was when the O ' Fallons team came here January 19 and walked away with a 23 to 4 victory. There was no stopping of the O ' Fallons quintet that night, although St Patrick ' s of North Platte completely downed them. Lexington ' s reserve team handed over a 20 to 16 victory here January 26 to the hard-plaving Bullpups. However North Platte ' s preliminary game at Gothenburg stole the show February 2. The final score was 17 to 16 and the game was a see-saw affair throughout. North Platte again defeated the Arnold reserve team 34 to 17 on Feb- ruary 6 in a game at Arnold. Avenaing the former defeat Gothenburg s re- serve team came to North Platte February 16 and won a 23 to 18 victory. This was another fine game. . Trvon lost 15 to 13 here in North Platte ' s final game in February. Inis season added many deserved laurels to Coach Roy Mayer and his Bullpup ' SC1Ua Milton Lamphere was elected captain of the freshman ophomore team and m-oved to be a fine leader. Milton played in every game as did Jim Gar- roll Wayne Lawrence, Roland Reed. Those awarded letters were: Milcon Lampheher, Roland Reed, Wayne Lawrence, Myron Schwerin, Forrest Mehlman, Carroll Cushing, Jim Carroll, and John Jones. —71— Top Row Ivan Wilson.

The high school was fortu- nate in having a wealth of material that was quite easily developed into a major track team that won the Southwest Conference meet, and placed highly in the state meet at Lincoln. . • North Platte has been fortunate in having, along with Coach Wilson, Ralph Dexter, University of Nebraska track star of former years. With the two men together, much interest has been aroused in track, and their instructions have been beneficial. . Last year ' s track captain, Milton Baker, was unusually able at broad jump- ing and high jumping. Windv ' s agility and flexibility enabled him to jump with comparative ease. Melvin Bailor, track captain in 1932, was North Platte ' s out-standing sprint star, having won honors in the state track meet at Lincoln, and at the Southwest Conference. The Bulldog track team won the Southwest Conference last year over the teams from Gothenburg, Lexington, Cambridge Curtis Aggies Holdrege, and McCook. North Platte amassed 58% points to Gothenburg s 48% points, sec- ond place. A strong wind somewhat hindered the contest, but it was close and eXC,t One of the finest runs of the day was the 880-yard run which was won by Robert Long, North Platte, over Van Skiver, Holdrege. Long s time of 2:11% was 2 6 seconds under the old record. Melvin Bailor tied Ray Hiatt ' s record of 1930 in the 220-yard dash. The time was 23 5 seconds. Leo Bechan broke the shot-put record with a throw of 45 feet 7VJ imgw. Le6 also placed first in the 100-yard dash, and_ second in the 220-yard dash. inter-class meet on The first track meet to be held this year will be a Am-il 9 The winning class will be presented a trophy. The Southwest Conference meet will be held in Gothenburg this year. —72— Milton (Windy) Baker, Lester Templin, Melvin Merritt, Melvin Bailar RELAY TEAM Winner of the 880-yard relay for two consecutive years in the state track and field meet at Lincoln was North Platte ' s crack relay squad coached by Ivan Wilson and Ralph Dexter. In 1932 the combination of James Drost, Tom Cushing, Melvin Bailor, and Leo Bechan won the state prep 880-yard relay championship. Last spring the team composed of Milton Baker, Melvin Merritt, Melvin Bailar, and Leo Bechan, with Lester Templin as alternate, again captured the 880-yard relay laurels, racing the half mile distance in 1:33 1-5. Last year ' s individuals also place highly especially in the sprints. Melvin Bailor won second in the 100-yard dash and Leo Bechan placed third. First place was won by Eugene Skin ner, Omaha Tech, who gave a remarkable run- ning performance. Bailor won first in the 220-yard sprint in 23 seconds flat. Melvin Merritt took fourth place. These runs were in the group four division. Leo Bechan placed in the shot put throw and Robert Long figured in the half mile run. Milton Baker failed to qualify in the broadjump or highjump, but ran in the relay. The relay team of Baker, Merritt, Bailar, and Bechan won the 880-yard relay in the southwest conference meet held in North Platte April 28, 1933. The blue and gold ran it in 1:37.4 minutes. Lexington placed second followed by Holdrege and Curtis Aggies. At the Hastings College Relays North Platte set a new record in the half mile relay for which they received a fine plaque which now reposes along with the many others in well-filled trophy cabinets. This is one of the highest prep relay awards and an honor to have in the school. Under Melvin Merritt, who was elected captain of the 1934 track team, the 1934 aggregation is fast developing into a good track team. Melvin Mer- ritt, Lester Templin, Floyd Newton, Wayne Lawrence are the sprint aspirants. Phillip Romigh, Earl Jackson, Joe Redfield, Richard Diener, Orson Parks, Rich- ard Dienes, Roderick Speetzen, Merwyn Justis, Sam Wright, Boyd Dougherty, and Roland Reed are some of those working out. Spring football appealed to many and after the two week session they came out for track. —73— Top Row — George Hansen, Veldon Foster. Clifford Bellamy.

SPORTS CLASSES Showers sizzling and splashing after a strenuous work-out by Mr. Wilson, brings to a close another sports class. In the dressing room the boys make new acquaintances that never could have been made in any class. Four classes, composed mostly of freshmen and sophomores with a few juniors and seniors who enjoy the privileges of leaders, to take instructions under Mr. Ivan Wilson, the head athletic coach, for the purpose of physica education and training instructions, including the basic prinicples of football, basket ball, indoor base ball, track, and other sports. Actual playing of basket ball and training for track, tumbling, and other feats were practiced. During the fall and winter seasons, most of the classes were held indoors in the gymnasium with instructions in each sport. In the spring, those classes if possible, were held on the athletic field with all types of sports predominat- ing. The boys were taught the fundamentals of football, such as blocking, pass- ing, kicking and tackeling, with many other fine points of football. In basket ball they learned to pivot, shoot baskets, bounce passes, and other tricks of this sport. In track, they had demonstrations as to the correct form of high jump- ing, pole vaulting, broad jumping, sprinting and many different phases of track. Over two hundred and fifty boys had the use of one of the finest gymnas- iums and athletic fields in the state of Nebraska. The boys often showed their appreciation for these things in keeping the track weeded, the field free of dandelions, and the stadium swept out. Many times, the entire class has been seen chasing one another down the street, and twenty or more minutes later return. The victor unannounced, never thinks himself slighted, but here the victors of the many contests that Mr. Wilson has thought up, are sincerely congratulated for their good work whether it came to some avail or not, for surely they have done something for themselves whether they know it or not, for iii after years they may become the athletes who uphold the honors of our school. —74— Back Row — Betty Baker, Berniece Westphal.

GIRLS ' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The activities in physical education are many. The object of so many ac- tivities is to give each girl an opportunity to find a hobby. The activities are: Nebraska ball, basket ball, baseball, soccor, gymnastics and dancing to give each girl the necessary skill. If she desires to receive better technique and ability, she may enter G. A. A. which gives her this opportunity. Each Wednesday members of the G. A. A. meet for practice, and discuss plans for their successful sports season. Miss Sue Olney, will known sponsor of Girl ' s Physical Education and G. A. A., is an ideal leader for this organization. During parts of the year, girls who wish to acquire more practice in dancing meet at 8 o ' clock twice a week. They then work on the play numbers and on the tumbling groups. The aim of Physical Education is to give girls an equal opportunity to practice fundamental skills. These in turn give praise and ability which is not found in any other work. The different sports were selected by Miss Olney, and captains were chosen for each sport. In Nebraska ball there were four captains: Madeline Forbes, Marjone Simms, Mary Lou Robin.son and Irene Huntington. They chose their respective teams, ' and battled against one another. In baseball Adeline Wonka was selected leader. As baseball is Amerca s national sport, Miss Olney and Adeline have tried to impress this point upon the minds of the girls. .,,.,,., , , n Hiking is another activity that some of the girls like particularly well. Ada Jean Kirkman was hiking leader. The shikes showed particular favor for weenie roasts and jaunts under the moon. Dancing has played an important part in Girl ' s Physical Education. Elea- nor Templin was chosen dance leader, and helped make the annual program a success. The sports calendar is divided into the different seasons. Fall: Nebraska ball walking and hiking. Winter: Basket ball, roller skating, ice-skating, and walking. Spring: Baseball, hiking and walking. Dancing and walking are used in all the seasons. -75— Top Row Genevieve Wells, Margaret Candea, Clarabelle Matthews. Ina Cash. Aileen Souder, Bettv Lou HirscMeld, Dorothy Calhoun.

A. CABINET MEMBERS The Girl ' s Athletic Association, under the supervision of Miss Sue Olney, completed a record year with a membership of one hundred girls. We are very proud of this, as it makes an out-standing year. The activities were so varied that each girl was able to select the sport or sports that she preferred.

GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The aim of the association was, a sport for every girl and every girl in a sport. Through the variety of activities offered, and through capable leaders, we have been able to come nearer to our air than in previous years. This year the cabinet has undertaken several new projects. 1. Publishing a year book in September to aid in explaining our work to Freshmen. 2. Selling of G. A. A. pins which may be purchased after earning forty points. 3. Selecting G. A. A. stamps to make up the deficit. 4. At the beginning of the year, all old members wore badges to influ- ence participation in the organization. With the large membership of the organization, the cabinet members have felt that their work has been more worth-while. A keen interest is taken in their sports and committee work. The Cabinet members entertained at their annual progressive dinner in March. This is the high light of social events, and for Cabinet members only. The first of May, the out-going members entertained the new members at an early morning breakfast for their initiation of the latter. The basis for awards in G. A. A. is found in the State League. This sys- tem was adopted, as the organization felt that it gave a better opportunity for each girl. The requirements for North Platte and state awards are as follows: 1. Six hundred points numeral 2 Twelve hundred points North Platte Letter 3. Sixteen hundred points --first state award 4. Two thousand points second state award This year is the out-standing letter and numeral year. Fifteen girls re- ceived letters, and twenty to twenty-five received numerals. —77— -78- Roy Jaynes Mary Lou Robinson l :i Hi U ' CmiinpII CHEER LEADERS At the beginning of the year, an assembly was held for the purpose of trying out cheer leaders. A number of good prospects tried out, making it quite difficult for the judges to make a wise decision. Those finally chosen for the coveted positions were: Mary Lou Robinson, David O ' Connell, and Roy Jaynes. They made a splendid showing at all homes, both at home and out-of- town, never lacking in vim, vigor, or vitality, the three essentials of a good cheer leader. The enthusiasm and pep with which they led the student body is one of the big reasons why our football and basket ball teams are accredited with so many victories. MARY LOU ROBINSON Mary Lou was about the peppiest sophomore our school has known for a number of years. She was not satisfied until she had given us every grain of her ginger and spice. In her we note surprising possibilities for an excellent cheer leader in the future. She was every-body ' s friend. She will be back next year to boost the Blue and Gold on to more victories. DAVID O ' CONNELL David, also a sophomore, could always be depended upon to stir up school spirit where it was most needed. He was not only faithful in working as cheer leader and with the Pep club, but he also can be commended for his excellent work in other school activities. Wherever he was put to work, he worked hard. He will be back next year to help support the team and to create enthusiasm. ROY JAYNES Roy, a junior, worked hard and willingly in urging the students to support the team. He was enthusiastic in everything he attempted and he won many friends through his unceasing efforts to create pep. He is remembered especial- ly for the acrobatics he performed in leading the various yells. He went every- where with the team, and was one of the main factors in helping the team win success. Roy hails from Lexington and we are fortunate to have him as a fel- low student. -79— Top Row — Margaret Tucker. Marietta Turpen, Phyllis Selby, Julia Calhoun, Florence Peterjohn. Ramona Talbot.

SENIOR PEP CLUB The Senior Pap club this year consisted of twenty loyal members, who supported the cheer leaders in their efforts to create, and develop the school spirit. They attended all of the home games and as many out-of-town games as possible! Kaye Yirak presided over the club as president, with Dorothy Holl- man as vice-president, and Berniece Helms as secretary. A pep assembly sponsored by the Pep club was held before each game, and every member, assisted by a committee of Junior Pep club members, was responsible for one assembly during the year. They served as patrolmen at the rallies, and other school activities. The Senior Pep club members are those who served willingly and loyally in the Junior Pep club. For each year of service, the members receive chevrons. Many of our Senior club members have three and some are wearing four. They tried something new and different in the way of rallies this year. The first rally was held before the Kearney game in the afternoon. School dis- missed, and the entire student body inarched in the parade from the high school to town and through the main streets. The band was in the lead, and the students brought up the rear singing and yelling. Its purpose was to reach the business section and to keep the grade children from interferring with the rally. It was an experiment which proved to be a great success. The second rally held before the Omaha game was the usual night rally with the snake dance and the yells at the intersections. A theatre rally was held for the Gothenburg basket ball game which was also a success. The band and Pep club both appeared on the stage. Short pep talks were given by Jim Keefe, and Captain Chester Jones. ,,,,., The club was efficiently advised by Miss Iva Hinman, who helped them with their assembly programs, and contributed many novel ideas and sugges- tions in working up assemblies and stunts. The insignia of the club is the head of a large oulldog. They have no dues but in case they do not wear iheir sweaters on days of games, they are fined five cents A Senior Pep club member is not required to sell candy or usher as that is left to the Junior Pep club. We are sorry to say that many of our staunch members will not be back with us next year. —80— Top Row — Eleanor Templin, Lear Meyers. Betty Baker, Miss Wunenbergr.

JUNIOR PEP CLUB Those who wanted to be in the Pep club, left their names with the spons- ors at the beginning of the year. Twenty-five bull pups were selected from the group, and this list was submitted to the Student Council, where it was ap- proved. The duties of a Junior Pep club member are: To usher at all school activi- ties, to sell candy at all games, or to work whenever he is called upon, and to co-operate in every way with the Senior Pep club in boosting the team. A Pep club member is required to attend all meetings, and do his share of work will- ingly. If he does not do so, he is asked to turn in his Pep club sweater, and is no longer considered a member. These strict rules are followed in order to keep up the morale of the club, and to keep enthusiasm and interest high. Many clever assemblies were worked up during the year. The emblem of the club is a small bull pup. There are no dues, and if the members desire to keep their sweaters when they graduate they may do so. If a junior member works willingly and diligently, he may look forward to promotion into the Senior Pep club the following year, which is quite an in- centive to keep up the fighting spirit. Much credit goes to Misses Corning, Knutson and Wunenberg for their remarkable management and sponsorship for this active group of young bull dogs. We may be assured of a Senior Pep club next year that will probably surpass all of our previous pep clubs. It is with hearts torn with anguish, weary with labor, and weak from over-taxation, that the 1934 bull pups turn over their cumbersome duties to a fresh and verdant group. They also served on assembly committees under the direction of a senior Pep club member. Many clever assemblies were worked up during the year. —81— Bonnie Breternitz, Miss Corning:, Jim Carroll. Gail Rector. Mr. Wrigrht, Mr. Mayer. Phyllis Selby. ACTIVITIES BOARD This year there were four students on the activities board who were elect- ed to be members to the board by the Student Council. They were as follows: Gail Rector, who was elected president of the board; Bonnie B. Breternitz, who held the office of secretary; Phyllis Selby and James Carroll. C. F. Wright has been the central treasurer for the past three years, and still holds that position. The faculty members to the board were: Miss Frances Corning and Roy W. Mayer. The purpose of the Activities Board is to see that funds are raised to finance school functions during the year. The drive for the sale of activities books was launched by an assembly wherein Mr. Wright explained to the students how much money they would save if they bought activities books. The sponsors of each organization presented to the Activities Board their estimate of the expected income and expenditures. A percentage was taken from this report, and allotted to each organization to help defray their expenses. The board has kept an accurate account of all receipts and expenditures during the entire year. The board has made it possible for the students to enjoy more activities at a lower cost than they would be able to have if it were not for this plan. Each person who participates in extra-curricular activities is required to purchase an activities book, so that the board may be sure of meeting the ex- penses of these various organizations. The board made various loans to the sev eral departments for new equip- ment. They also supplied the Student Council with sufficient funds to establish a recreation room with the necessary equipment. —82— Top Row — Ernest Jaeg£i, Forrest Mehlman, Ivan Hutching, Lester Templin, Philip Romigh, Gail Rector, Bob Gormley, John Jones, Don Misehe.

STUDENTS COUNCIL At the beginning of the year each room held an election for the purpose of choosing a representative from that room. From this group the Student Council was composed. They approved lists of names submitted to them of candidates for mem- bership into the various organizatio ns. The first semester council worked hard in trying to work out difficulties which confronted the student body. During the absence of their capable sponsor, Miss Brecht, Mr. Nelson sponsored the organization for the first semester. The council organized a recreation room to keep students from loitering in the halls during lunch periods. Bonnie B. Breternitz served her second term as president of the council during the first semester, with Jim Carroll as vice-president, and Delores Schwerin as secretary. Joe Redfield was elected student member-at-large. Twen- ty members composed the Student Council the first semester. The election of members for the council the second semester was con- ducted differently. The candidates from each class were voted upon, then the students voted for the person whom they desired to represent their class. This idea was carried out in order to get a greater number of upper classmen into the council. It is the custom to alternate the officers, having a girl for president one semester, and a boy the second. The same holds true for the other officers. George Bacon was elected president for the second semester, and Bonnie B. Breternitz was elected vice-president. Delores Schwerin continued the sec- retarial work, and Joe Redfield remained student member-at-large. The aim of the Council is to encourage self-government. It is considered a great honor for a student to be elected to serve on the Student Council, as it is one of the most important organizations in school. —S3— Top Row — R.

BAND The North Platte High School Band, under the direction of R. Cedric Anderson, had an enrollment of over sixty pieces, of which forty-eight were allowed uniforms for public appearances through competition. The band was in charge of the following officers, who took the duties of correcting department and official representations of the band. The officers were: George Bacon as captain; First Lieutenants, Gail Rector, and Bob Gorm- ly; Second Lieutenants, Ernest Jaeggi, and Robert Chambers; Quartermaster- sargeant, Ernest Wright; and Corporals, Forrest Mehlman, Don Parson, and Hilbert Copeland. The band played at all of the home games and several of the out-of-town games, with a new and characteristic drill for each. It played at the tourna- ments, rallies, pep assemblies, and other athletic events. The annual fall and spring concerts were given to large audiences, and the band also took part in the second Sunday Vesper program. Many additions were made to the band for its appearances. A new fan fare introduced the drill at the half in the football games, and after this came the hiah stepping drum major, Vilric Welch, twirling his baton. Two new bell lyras were added to the band, thus adding greatly to the marching appearance and music. Included among the new instruments which were added to the band to make the instrumentation complete for the contest, were an oboe, a bass saxophone, an English horn and several others. Twelve new uniforms were added to make a sixty piece band for the contest. Fifteen groups were allowed to participate in the contest this year, making an addition of three over last year, and giving a chance for three more soloists, besides the two ensemble organizations, a brass sextette and clarinet quartet, to go in the contest. -S4— ■«i  ing: Violin Section.

The activities of the Glee club have been many. They have had vespers, assisted the band at concerts, and presented skits at assemblies. The operetta, The Fire prince, was a huge success. The Glee club, as- sisted by the Mixed Chorus, presented their talents in it. Bernice Helms as Rosa played the ingenue role, and Robert Hopkins played the juvenile lead as the Fire Prince.

MIXED CHORUS This year for the first time no Glee club was organized for the boys alone, because of lack of material and the number of boys. The Mixed Chorus was continued, offering the boys an opportunity to do Glee club work and making it possible to study some of the fine music avail- able. Mixed Chorus this year had nearly seventy members consisting of twenty- nine sopranos: Opal Babbitt, Wilma Bailey, Betty Baker, Helen Besack, Madge Bellew, Wanda Bess, Berniece Brandiup, Mary Dorothy Brown, Marion Calhoun, Avis Carlson, Margaret Dick, lone Grunden, Ruth Heniger, Berniece Helms, Wilma Lee, Jeanette Macho, Rhita MeGee, Jean Osborne, Lois Owens, Betty Lou Sawyer, Aileen Souder, Doreetha Simmons, Genevieve Smithers, Roberta Spraker, Delores Schwerin, Marieta Turpen, Maxine Weisner, Adeline Wonka, and Letha Young.

Mixed Chorus rehearsals were held three times a week through-out the year. Girls for this organization were picked by the try-out method in which Miss Williams tested their voices as to quality, range and their ability to read music, also the need for material in that section. Miss Leona Williams, the voice instructor in schools, directed the Mixed Chorus. —87— Top Row — Miss Williams. Harold Westphal. Russell Glines. Mary Ellen Gutherless. Second Row — Don Mattke.

King of Pantouflia Joe Redfield Prigia, his eldest son, the Fire-Prince Bob Hopkins Alphonso, Prigio ' s brother Alvin Armstrong Enrico, Prigio ' s brother Don Mattke The Wise Man, tutor to the Princes Harold Westphal Don Roderigo, Spanish Ambassador : Russell Glines Frederic, a Pantouflian officer Albert Boyd Benson, the Ambassador ' s English butler Luther Spraker William, head page boy at the Embassy Frederick McEvoy Messenger, from wireless office Milburn Helms Isadora, Queen of Pantouflia Eleanor Distel Lady Molinda, niece of the King Betty Baker Lady Kathleena, niece of the King Marian Goodmanson The ' Duchess, honorary governess Mary Walden Rosa, daughter of the Spanish Ambassador Berniece Helms Teresa, her friend Eleanor Wilson Pabes Joe Batie, Truman DeForest Ladies and gentlemen of the Court, guests of the Spanish Ambassador, soldiers, pages and other servants. The operetta this year was entitled The Fire Prince and was written by David Stephens, and Henry Hadley. At the time the action begins, Prigio, one of the three sons of the King of Pantouflia, is an opinionated youth who does not believe in fairies, in spite of the fact that a number of influential ones were supposed to have been pres- ent at his christening. As the legend goes, the fairies have given him many useful magic gifts. But at the same time, a bad fairy so arranged matters that he became the cleverest person in Pantouflia, and is of course, cordially de- tested by all except his mother, who shares his disbelief in fairies. About this time, a terrible scourge of heat falls on the land, and the Wise Man expresses the belief that it is caused by the Fire-drake, which, as every- body knows, is a monster whose normal temperature is terrific. It is obvious that something must be done. Both Alphonso and Enrico, the other two broth- -88— THE OPERETTA pr , nob l v volunteer to fight him, but the King, thinking he sees a way to dis- pose of ' his too clever son! proposes that Prigio, being the eldest, in accordance with tradition, should first engage the monster.

KNIGHTHOOD OF YOUTH The Knighthood of Youth club is sponsored by Miss Antonides, the nor- mal training instructor, and is open only to those who are Junior Normal Trainers. The club this year had thirty-five members. A committee keeps the bulletin board posted and the room decorated. The Knighthood of Youth club helped the Wood Bee club in various projects in charity work. The officers for the first twelve weeks were as follows: Hazel Wisner, president; Ina Cash, vice-president; Marie Duncan, secretary; Evelyn Dempcy, treasurer; and Marieta Turpen, reporter. Officers for the second twelve weeks were: Ernest Wright, president; Elvin Saul, vice-president; Helen Younghans, treasurer; Ina Cash, reporter. Officers for the third twelve weeks were: Marie Duncan, president; Ardis Dempcy, vice-president; Mary Vroman, secretary; Edna Vang, treasurer. Helen Younghans was also a reporter. The club held sereval parties during the year at the homes of the mem- bers and at the school building. The purpose of the club is to educate the members in forming and conducting a Knighthood of Youth club. This organi- zation is required in all rural and city grade schools, therefore giving future training to those who expect to be teachers in rural or grade schools. They try to promote courtesy, good health, deportment, citizenship, and in general, they are trying by means of this club, to develop the students, and make better citizens of them. The clubs have a good deeds box, but they are not allowed to put their own good deeds into the box. Each member, after a number of good deeds, becomes a knight and is given the Knighthood as they did in the days of old. They each have a castle to build, which is built stone by stone. The stones are in forms of certain proj- ects assigned to them for the year. It takes quite some time to get the castles, but the work is worth while, and the pupils are kept interested in the work. Many teachers who have used this Knighthood of Youth club plan, agree that it has been a big factor in successfully solving the problem of deport- ment in the class room. —90— .ll wH[ , |H ftj j t.MJn  • ... ... t . ■ Top Row — Nellie Grubausrh, Thelma Gilmore, Marietta Glen.

The aim of this organization is to better fit themselves to fulfill their positions as pro- fessional teachers. The club is not an educational organization alone, but is social as well. The members learn how to organize and conduct various types of clubs that they wili come in contact with through their work. The club meets regularly twice a month. They arranged to have one busi- ness meeting and one social meeting. They held their business meetings in Miss Antonides ' room, which is also their classroom. Their social gatherings or par- ties were held at the homes of the different members, and in the cafeteria. Their dues are one dollar a year and this amount helps to cover the ex- penses incurred from the annual banquet. As previously they sponsored candy sales to help cover these expenses; but this was discontinued at the end of the first semester. The members have the opportunity to purchase pins character- istic of their organization if they so desire. Miss Florence Antonides, the normal training instructor, sponsored the group as she has done in previous years. Much of their fine charitable work during the year was made possible by the capable guidance and supervision of Miss Antonides. This club offers a wonderful opportunity for social contact. Two or more members of the club are the hostesses each lime they have a party. Mrs. Rose D. North, county superintendent, entertained at a banquet in honor of the Senior Normal Trainers of North Platte and Brady high schools, and the teach- ers under whom they taught during their week of practice teaching. The alumni also entertained the Senior Normal Trainers at a party. Those who were elected to hold office during the first semester were as follows: Elgar Dempcy, president; Luther Horne, vice-president; Claire Ed- misten, secretary; Dorothy Tharp, treasurer; Jeannette Swenson, reporter. The executive board during the second semester was as follows: Jean- nette Swenson, president; Claire Edmisten, vice-president; Ethel Rose, secre- tary; Dorothy Tharp, treasurer; Florence Peterjohn, reporter. —91— Top Row — Louse Staab.

GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves has been well supported this year, as the membership social functions have been successful. This branch of girls activities is spons- ored by a special committee of the Woman ' s club, and is a branch of the Young Womans ' Christian Association. At the beginning of the school year the Girl Reserves visualized a goal and used every means to achieve it. Some of the most important functions of the organization have been luncheons, teas, devotionals, banquets and parties. The annual Inter-church, Hi-Y, Girl Reserve banquet was held in the Lutheran church. A clever children ' s party was arranged, each guest dressing as a small child with very amusing results. Aileen Souder was in charge of this party which was a big success both as a get-together and a mixer. Devotionals were held twice each month and the result was very edifying. Not only were they devotionals but social meetings as well and the spirit of better living and better comradeship was the result. One of the out-standing activities of the Girl Reserves was the work-shop. This was divided into four groups and each group was sponsored by one of the teachers. Miss WelLs was in charge of the Dramatics group, Miss Weaver and Mrs. Cameron sponsored World affairs, Miss Van Valkenburg had charge of the Personality group. The object of the work shop was to acquaint the girls with world affairs and to prepare them to meet serious problems. These shops have proven whole- some and interesting diversion as well as instructive and entertaining. The membership this year was an average of one hundred and ten, which is a good showing for a school of this size. One of the out-standing- luncheons was the Valentine luncheon, a beauti- ful party in which the spirit of love a nd good feeling was carried out in pro- gram and decorations.

Each year the Girl Reserves have taken great interest in helping the poor families of North Platte. It has been the custom to investigate conditions among the poor people at Thanksgiving and Christmas time, and to use every possible effort: to help these unfortunate people. This group of Girl Reserves was not to be out-done bv previous groups. They thoroughly enjoyed the work of investigation and distribution of food and clothing to these needy families. The committees in charge reported many cases of need, and many sad cases of sickness and poverty. The funds and donations allowed the filling of several baskets at Thanksgiving, and donating of provisions at Christmas. The Girls Reserve Conference was held in Grand Island in February. A large delegation from North Platte attended this conference which proved in- structive and entertaining. Many new ideas were presented and explained. In- centive to greater effort in expansion was aroused at this conference, and the girls who attended were enthusiastic over the results. .From North Platte a delegation composed of the following girls attended: Phyllis Selby, Dorothy Hollman Jean Osborne, Eleanor Distel, Marieta Turpen, Margaret Tucker, Jeanne Fetter Aileen Souder, Genevieve Smithers, Eunice Speetzen, Helen Be- sack and Adeline Wonka. Miss Van Valkenburg accompanied the girls, and acted as their chaperon. Many amusing incidents were related, upon their re- turn. The Girl Reserve Cabinet for this year includes: Phyllis Selby, president; Dorothy Hollman, vice-president; Margaret Tucker, secretary; Adeline Wonka treasurer- Mary Ellen Gutherless, musical chairman; Aileen Souder, social chairman; Genevieve Smithers, devotional chairman; Jean Osborne, program chairman; Jeanne Fetter and Eleanor Distel, song leaders; Lillian Dempey, letter chairman, and Ada Nidia Soto, ring chairman. -93— Top Row — Mrs. Cameron, Marietta Turpen, Margaret Tucker.

GIRL RESERVES CABINET The Girl Reserves were piloted this year by Phyllis Selby, who served very diligently as president of the organization. Phyllis ' co-worker was Dorothy Hollman, who was chosen vice-president. Adeline Wonka proved her ability to handle money by taking chai ' ge of the treasury department. This is a very difficult position, and Adeline proved her efficiency by doing her duties well. Margaret Tucker was chosen as secretary for the organization. Margaret worked quite diligently and her charming personality found her many friends. The position of social chairman was carried by Aileen Souder. Aileen was always willing to work, and her banquets and luncheons were huge successes. The musical side of the organization was carried by Mary Ellen Guther- less, who was chosen as musical chairman. Mary Ellen was assisted by Jeanne Fetter and Eleanor Distel, who filled the positions of song leaders. Music has played an important part in Girl Reserves, and these three girls have offered their aid to the fullest extent. Jean Osborne was chosen as program chairman, and her programs all proved very successful as well as interesting. Jean ' s charming personality made her a very good choice for this important position. Jean understood the im- portance of having an educational as well as interesting program. Ada Nidia Soto filled the position of ring chairman very capably. Ada Nidia believed in fairness, an instinct that made her a capable leader. Lillian Dempcy was selected letter chairman, and kept very close count of the activities that the girls attended. The position of publicity chairman was filled by Marietta Turpen. Mariet- ta ' s smile has won many a friend and she was an ideal girl for this difficult position. Marietta starts to do something and does it. The Girl Reserves were guided by such capable sponsors as Miss Van Val- kenburg, Miss Weaver, and Mrs. Cameron. The organization has flourished and will continue to do so as long as they have such capable leaders and such enthusiastic members as they have had in past years. The girls wish to thank Mrs. M. E. Crosby for the time and effort she expended in the interest of Girl Reserves for this year. —94— Romish. George Bacon. Gail Rector. Bob Chambers. Bob Gormley, Claire Deats, The Hi-Y Cabinet this year was composed of George Bacon, president; Gail Rector, vice-president; Bob Gormley, secretary and treasurer; cabinet members-at-large were Claire Deats, Robert Chambers, and Phillip Romigh. These boys were elected last year by the boys that were going out of the club, to carry on for the coming year. George Bacon, the president, was an out- standing student in all his other activities such as, band captain, orchestra, junior play, and others. The other members of the cabinet were also out-stand- ing in their activities and other work. Most of the cabinet members were fortunate in being able to attend the conference in Lincoln, Nebraska, and later in the district conference in Lex- ington Also at Camp Sheldon, many friends were made by those who were at- tending, and took an interest in this Hi-Y club. The boys brought back good ideas to give to the club. Various committees were organized this year to carry out the extra work. At Christmas time this year, baskets of food were given to two exceptionally poor families. Each bov of the club brought something for these baskets, which were arranged for, and taken to the families by the chairman of the commit- tee Mendel Hirschfeld. The basket ball team was suggested and organized un- der the direction of Don Pearre, who also scheduled the games. An over-nigh; camp was suggested by Lester Templin, who was appointed to take charge of the details. Other persons were appointed to take care of the smaller details. The sponsors of this organization were R. Cedric Anderson, Ivan Wilson and the Rev F C Wiegman. Mr. Anderson is the director of the band and orchestra in ' the high school. Mr. Wilson is the head of our athletics for the school and Rev. Wiegman is the pastor of the First Evangelical Lutheran church of North Platte. These three men gave the boys some one to look up to for their ideals and morals. Members of the cabinet, and other members of the club, took charge of the devotionals. Ideas for subjects were received by the boys who attended the conference. —95— Top Row — James Orr. Glenn Dorram. Victor Tatman. Don Mattke. Vilric Welch. Harry Tourtelot Mendel Hirschfeld.

A new and novel feature was introduced this year in the initiation of all the members of the organization, by the cabinet, which scored a great success. This year for the first time, an idea for a recreation room was introduced, for the students ' enjoyment, during the lunch period. This was immediately- taken up by the Activities Board of the school, and financed. Regular meetings were held on Tuesdays, alternating a devooional one week, and discussion the next. The devotionals were very interesting discus- sions ' in which everyone took part, and a prominent speaker was engaged for each of the dinner meetings. An interest was taken in the conference by some of the boys, a tew at- tending the Older Boys Conference in Lincoln in December, and a « ■£ • group attending the district conference held in Lexington, the middle of March. Nine bovs attended Camp Sheldon, a summer camp for Hi-Y boys near Co urn- bus Nebraska, making the largest delegation there from any single city While there, they carried awav the high honors of the camp. An over-night hike was held after the first of April, in which the boys had a taste of camp lite, mak- ing the out-look brighter for this years delegation. The Hi-Y was organized in this citv m 1920, as a branch of the Y. M. C. A It was open to any boy in the school. The Hi-Y boys had a great effect on the morals of the school. Each boy pledged to the purpose of the club; to create maintain, and extend through-out the school and community, high standards of Christian character. Their slogan was clear speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. Through these things interesting discus- sions on questions which are close to the heart and minds of the boys weie brought up. With some member in charge of each devotional the gieate.st benefit was received not only by those who took part, but by those who listened. —96— Roberta Bivans, Martha Top Row — Albin Kunkle.

MATH CLUB The membership to the Math club is for those who are taking mathematics or those who have had it. The purpose of the club is to further the study of mathematics in other fields such as engineering and scientific study, interest- ing problems, trick problems and different kinds of mathematical recreations. They have business meetings, programs and hikes. They have no dues, but a charge , which covers the cost of refreshments is made when they have par- ties or hikes. , , At their program meetings they discuss such topics as Higher Mathemat- ics and The History of the Metric System. They also discuss other fields which are related to math and how it is applied in these fields. A few of these are: Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Engineering, Economic statistics and Agri- culture. The executives of the club during the year changed twice. Those who com- prised the first semester executive board were: Alvin Kunkel, president; Joe Batie, vice-president; Roy Jaynes, social chairman; Ina Cash, secretary; Ada Kirkman, program chairman; Adeline Wonka, publicity chairman. The second semester executives were: Ina Cash, president; Paul Karis, secretary; Adeline Wonka, program chairman, and Lillian Thorne, publicity chairman. Members are permitted to belong who have an interest in math, yet who are not taking it at the present time. The club built a new number system the first semester. The club has done much in the way of encouraging the students to take a greater interest in mathematics and subjects pertaining to it. It has also helped the students in that they have become better acquainted with topics ot interest which before they knew nothing of. Manv students have stated that the math club has helped them to gain a wider knowledge of mathematics and has aided them in understanding and appreciating the subject more fully. They agree that math can be used in al- most an Phase or tvpe of work, and that every student should take advantage of this opportunity to better himself for his life ' s work. —97— Top Row — Mary Walden, Melva Olson, Frances Brott, Miss Wunenberg.

THE LATIN CLUB The Latin club this year was organized as an old Roman senate, with Forrest Mehlman, and Mary Walden as Consuls. Ardis Porter acted as Censor; Melva Olson as Quaestor; Margaret Dick, as Scribe; Hazel Stenger as Tribune; Helen Younghan.s, Betty Glines, Montee Baker, Ladell Anderson, Esther Steng- er, and Frances Brott as Aediles. Other members of the Senate were: Dorothy Jepson, Helen Jane Sutherland, Elizabeth Sharrah, Lee Silvis, and Neva Ebright. Second semester officers were chosen or re-elected, with Forrest Mehlman, and Ladell Anderson, as Consuls. The members of this club mere admitted by their high citizenship, love for things pertaining to culture and classic, and the approval of the Student Council, all of which made it an honor and privilege to be a member of this organization. The group was divided into patricians and plebians, to represent the two main classes of known society. Many inter- esting phases of the lives of these two groups have been studied. The club had many meetings of various types, which proved highly enter- taining, as well as cultural and instructive. The Latin club decided as its name this year, the initials S. P. Q. R., which stands for a Latin phrase meaning ::The Senate and the Roman People. The pins of the S. P. Q. R. club were in the form of a shield, in blue and grey colors, with a laurel wreath standing for victory and accomplishment. The words Latin club appear on the shield. The laurel wreath in ancient time, was given to the victors in athletic contests, originating at the contest in honor of Apollo, a lover of games and sports. The laurel tree was sacred to Apollo, as Daphne, his sweetheart, while eluding his pursuit, had been turned into a laurel tree by the aid of a wood nymph. The laurel wreath is commonly used as a decora- tive design to represent achievement, success, and victory. Those who have attained membership in the Latin club have, so to speak, deserved a laurel wreath of merit for their achievement in Latin, as a lan- guage, and a cultural back-ground. The Latin club was first organized in 1932 under the sponsorship of Miss Wunenburg, the Latin instructor, and has continued to be an added interest for the better Latin students. —98- From Left to Rierht — Don Hardenbrook iiell, Ernest Jaegrgi, Kenneth Sehroeder.

At the speaking end of this small private system, belonging to the Grippers, is Miss Wells, giving directions as to the amount and placing of the lights. Other men are back stage preparing to erect scenery for the next act. Everything runs like clock-work for these well-trained Grippers. The Grippers, an organization for instruction and operation of the back stage equipment, was organized in 1931, and for the last three years has been under the direction of Miss Charlotte Wells, dramatic instructor. At that time it was found necessary to train such a group of boys to handle the equipment, to work efficiently and quickly, and to stage the increasing number of per- formances. They are so thoroughly drilled in their respective duties that they can easily handle the minor performances and assemblies without the aid and direction of their sponsor, Miss Wells. To become Grippers, the boys have to show their leadership, reliability, workmanship, and elegibility in at least three subjects. They are then selected by Miss Wells, and are allowed to have the insignia of their organization plac- ed on special coveralls. These coveralls were of dark blue with a gold circle on the back, into which was cut the letter G. Above this was 1 the name of the boy, and below his position sewed on in gold thread, to represent the school colors. This year the Grippers spent a great deal of extra time on new scenery and equipment, for additions to their properties for use at the ten or more diffei ' ent productions, and at later events. They also engineered the stage work of the many assemblies during the school year. The group of Grippers included Stage Manager, Paul Karis; as electricians, Don Mattke, and Ernest Jaeggi put on many colorful lighting effects. Fly-men, Don Hardenbrook and Kenneth Schrod- er; Floor-men, David O ' Connell and Glen Dorram, who quickly shifted scenes and stage equipment. -99— Back Row — Morris Lapp, Charles Reynolds, Mr. Wright, Don Pearre, Bonnie Breternitz, Francis Wilson.

ROUND-UP STAFF The Round Up staff this year was not as large as it has been in previous years, but those who constituted the staff worked hard and willingly in trying to make up for lack of members. Their unceasing efforts were well rewarded in that they succeed in publishing twenty-six papers worth much credit. Early in the second semester, however, they asked for applicants to the staff. A num- ber of competent reporters, business managers, and other helpers were added to the staff. The staff changed six times during the year.

ANNUAL STAFF Those who wished to be on the Annual Staff left their applications with Mr. Wright, the journalism instructor. The executives, with Mr. Wright ' s as- sistance, selected the remainder of the staff who were chosen for the type of work they were most capable of doing. Jeannette Swenson was chosen editor-in-chief and Bonnie Breternitz held the position of managing editor. Under her supervision were: Kaye Yirak as senior class editor, Don Pearre as junior class editor, James Carroll as sopho- more class editor, and Barbara Birge as the freshmen class editor. Shyllis Sel- by was faculty editor. Florence Peterjohn was art editor, and was assisted by Dorothy Hollman and Duane Jones. J une Coverdell held the position of co-ed editor. Mary Ellen Gutherless in charge of girls organizations, and Frederick Hendy in charge of boys organizations, were June ' s assistants.

Her assistants were Lillian Dempcy and Marianna Fonda. Mendel Hirschfeld was the competent business manager and his assistants were Margaret Atwood and Frank Pielsticker. Jean Osborne drew the cartoons for the Calendar. A clever assembly was worked out in order to give the student body an idea of what the annual was to contain. During the assembly the staff mem- bers passed out subscription blanks. Two hundred and seventy-five annual pledges were secured through the hearty cooperation of every member of the staff. Several clever themes were submitted, and after much consideration the theme Progress was accepted. This theme was decided upon chiefly because of the new developments in railway transportation. After many moons of strain and strife, an annual which surpassed any annual for many years past was ready for the press. It contains a complete analysis of every school function, and is larger than any annual ever put out by North Platte High School. —101— Top Row — David Fredericks, Mary Muehlinski, Mr. Wright, Irene Neville.

QUILL AND SCROLL The members of the Quill and Scroll society must be either a junior, senior, or a post graduate enrolled in high school. They must be in the upper third of the class in general scholastic standing. They must have done unusual work in wrting, editing or business managing, they must be recommended by the supervisor, and must be approved by the national secretary-treasurer. Those who have been editor of their high school paper automatically be- come members of the society provided their grades are up to standard. The society promotes research and conducts surveys in the field of high journalism to determine the types of publications best suited to high schools, and to standardize the instruction in this field. A high school must publish a newspaper, annual or magazine, which is considered of sufficient merit by the executives to be eligible for a Quill and Scroll charter. The societies are in every state in the union besides Hawaii, England, China, British Honduras, and Alaska. It is an international honor society and is connected with any college or university. When a candidate to the society is accepted as a member he is entitled to a pin and year ' s subscription to the society ' s paper. Six candidates were elect- ed to the society this year from North Platte High School. They were: David Frederick, post graduate; Jeanne Fetter, Phyllis Selby, and Mary Muchlinski, seniors; Irene Neville, and Morris Lipp, juniors. Bonnie Breternitz and Jean- nette Swenson, seniors were elected to the society last year and were carried over this year. Quill and Scroll, over the country, is divided into six districts, each hav- ing one officer or representative. There are over six hundred chapters, and over twelve thousand young journalists from schools which are out-standing in the quality of their publication work, wear the badge of the society. Membership in the society may be secured only through a local chapter. Names of candidates must be submitted on the regulation blanks which are provided supervisors upon the granting of a chapter. Clarence F. Wright is the supervisor of this chapter of the society. It is deemed a distinguished honor to be granted a charter to this society. —102— Top Row — June Coverdell, Emot ' ene Ekstrom.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society was first organized by a group of high .school principals, to create a desire for broader learning, wider knowledge, and in general, to develop the character of the student. It corresponds to the Phi Beta Kappa societies in colleges and universities. The members of the society are chosen from the upper third of each sen- ior class. Four qualities are considered in choosing them. They are: scholar- ship, leadership, character, and service. The insignia of the society is a key- stone and a flaming torch. The keystone bears the letters S. L. S. C, which stands for the principles mentioned above. A committee of faculty members selected the members. An assembly was held during the second semester to initiate the new mem- bers formally. The informal initation was held before the entire faculty and was most dreaded. The initiation was held at the annual dinner, and was in the form of a scavanger hunt. The new members were given directions in code form immediately after school. Their problem was to decipher the code and bring to the dinner in the evening those articles mentioned. Together with the seventeen members chosen this year, there are seventy- nine alumni members to the society in North Platte High School. Those chosen the first semester are: Lester Aldrich, Bonnie Breternitz, Beth Chapman, June Coverdell Emosene Ekstrom, Marv Ellen Gutherless, Ernest Jaeggi, Irene Kellie Louis McEvoy, Harley Masuguchi, Mary Muchlinski, Florence Peter- iohn Frank Pielstieker, Phyllis Selby, Jeannette Swenson and Kaye Yirak. Ruby McKain is an honorary member, and for the last few years has held the office of president of the society. Harry Shaner was voted into the society the second semester. The members were called upon to help with the registra- tion second semester. , , . , ,. -vr .- „i Many who have graduated have said that being a member ot the National Honor Society has proved a great benefit to them in college. ..... . . It is considered the highest honor that can be given to an individual in high school, and takes the place of the former citizenship awards. We sincere- ly believe that those students elected to the society are entirely worthy of the honor bestowed upon them. The society creates enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulates leadership, and develops the students of America ' s secondary schools. —103— SCHOLARSHIP Bonnie B. Breternitz, with an average of 95.35, was valedictorian of the class of 1934, while Florence Peterjohn was salutatorinn, having an average of 93.513.
