What is life but a mosaic, each person contributing a small but important part to the composite whole while certain scenes stand out with brilliant clarity against the many-pieced background. This yearbook is intended to be a picture of a school year at Lincoln Northeast, covering the persons, scenes, and events which will remain memories for all who contributed a part. This is Lincoln Northeast— Mosiac I960. A Bugle Call Rings Throughout The Halls— A bugle call rings throughout the halls of Lincoln Northeast . . . students in every classroom stand and state their pledge of allegiance—a typical day at Lincoln North- east has begun. Many things make up the pattern of each day ... a friendly smile . . . a hurried trip to your locker between classes ... a lively conversation at the lunch table ... a heated discussion in his- tory class ... a chemistry experiment . . . writing a philosophy of life paper for Guid- ance . . . studying in the library ... re- hearsing a number for Band . . . meeting a deadline for the Northeastern . . . taking a picture for the Rocket ... a big test . . . hours of study . . . activities . . . decisions . . challenges, .opportunities, .preparation. Students Stand To Begin a Typical Day . . . After school there were club meetings and extra-curricular school activities . . . Masque and Gavel . . . Science Club . . . International Club . . . Y-Teen . . . Hi-Y . . . Rockettes . . . N Club . . . Quill and Scroll . . . Art Club . . . these were a part of the lives of many active Northeast stu- dents . . . Some of us were in the all-school plays . . . the assemblies . . . Rocket Revue . . . the Operetta . . . the Penguin Show . . . Afternoon fun and excitement was oft- en provided by a tense, thrilling game against an intra-city rival . . . And there was the enchantment of the year’s big dances—ranging from the sockhop during Homecoming Week to the Junior-Senior Prom . . . of Work, Fun, Achievement That Was Part . . . And there were other things, special, personal events which we will recall . . . the time we tried out for the Rocket Revue . . . the fun we had after a very special date . . . the office we held during County Gov- ernment Day . . . the participation in Foreign Language Week ... the Sunday afternoons we spent making posters for the games . . . the fun we had on a bus we chartered for one of the out-of-town games . . . So many little things like these com- bined together to form a memorable year of our lives . . . of the Mosaic of Lincoln Northeast, 1960. An Increased Use of Audio-visual Equipment . . . The mosaic of Lincoln Northeast, 1960, was a modern one, as LN followed a nation- wide trend in the increased use of audio- visual materials. . . . For the first time in Lincoln Northeast’s history, television classes were introduced. Geometry, Senior Composition, and American History were taught with the aid of a twenty-five minute television broadcast on an experimental basis in the Lincoln Public High Schools. . . . This year a new language laboratory, which contained individual booths, ear- phones, microphones, a record player, and a tape recorder, was used by students in the Foreign Language Department . . . Modern Problems classes used such aids as records, pamphlets, news magazines, and daily newspapers . . . Radio Club offered an outlet for those students interested in electronics . . . 1960 was a year of im- portant experiments and changes, a year which has sown the seed for events in future years . . . Added a Modern Touch to The 1960 Mosaic 9 School Life, Community Activities Combined . . . As a bugle call began each day at Lin- coln Northeast, so the school bell ringing at 3:15 every afternoon brought it to a close . . . For many students school activi- ties had just begun, for there were club meetings to attend, plays or assemblies to rehearse, work to do for a special class such as stagecrafts, or athletic practice or competition . . . For others there was a quick trip to a local drive-in to share cokes and conversation with fellow classmates . . . Many students belonged to Keentime or Project or bowling clubs or Job’s Daugh- ters . . . Several students had part time work around town . . . Lincoln community work and activities were a big part of our lives . . . 10 . . . An integral part of our lives were the relationships we formed in our homes and churches . . . We all contributed our part to family life . . . We cooked, washed dishes, took care of our younger brothers and sisters . . . We mowed the lawns during the summer and shoveled our walks during the winter . . . We felt the warmth that come only in a happy and loving family . . . And we took part in church choirs, youth fellowships, and church services . . . Many of us attended church with our families every week . . . Our churches, our jobs, our homes, and community activities combined with our school life to make us what we were—and we, in turn, combined to make the total mosaic of Lincoln North- east, 1960 . . . To Form the Intricate Design of Our Lives Pe%4 M ie( As a mosiac is composed of many parts, so is the total picture of Lincoln Northeast. Each student, each teacher, each administrative member of the school were the living, breathing pieces which joined in the studies, activities, goals, principles, and achievements which coalesced to form the picture of a school year at Lincoln Northeast. When we look back upon any part of our life, we remember first the people: our friends, our teachers. Moments of joy, sorrow, achievement shared are the things we will remember. 13 We'll finish this in no lime at all— Mrs. Frances Watters, dean of girls. All Is Expanding — the Pupil Population, 14 Individuals with an interest in Lincoln schools —the superintendents—R. L. Fredstrom, Dr. Steven N. Watkins, R. J. Bauer, and David Sell. Whether through our relationship with Principal H. V. Taylor we have come to know him as an advisor, a disciplinarian, or simply as the voice over the inter- com, we recognize him as a man keenly interested in Lincoln Northeast, her faculty, and, most of all, her individual students. Part of Mr. Taylor’s busy day here at the school is taken up with the activities of Student Council. A friendly greeting and an interested ear is offered to each of the girls that comes to the office of Mrs. Frances Watters, dean of girls. Mrs. Watters also works with junior high Leadership. One of the few persons who can recall the name of almost every student in North- east is Glen Fosnot, assistant principal and dean of boys. Mr. Fosnot shows his keen interest in young people in his everyday relationships with students as director of guidance activities. The Lincoln public schools’ Board of Education, Superintendent of Schools, and the Superintendent’s assistants work closely together to provide the best possible build- ings, texts, teachers, and materials for the children of the city. The final decisions rest in his hands —Principal Harland V. Taylor. The Faculty, Curriculum, and the Problems Lincoln Public Schools Board of Education—Art Danielson, Dr. Steven N. Watkins, Robert Venner, Robert H. Ammon, Warren H. Parker, Jack Devoe, Mrs. Roscoe S. Hill. Easy with the nitro-glycerine— Working diligently on a biol- Mary Jo Mays and Carol Weber. ogy project—Thomas Swale. Northeast Meets the Nation’s Demand for And visions of pi, products, and pitch spun in their heads— Mrs. Lydia Weber, Mrs. Marg- orie Adams, and R. L. Johnson. Do you suppose man will launch his career in space from this spot next year?—John Lewis, Ellis Jeffery, and Robert Resz. 16 Science and Math, The development of logical thought pro- cesses is the purpose of science and math classes. As our world becomes more technic- al, it becomes increasingly important that we understand science and math and their interrelations. To understand cellular struc- ture, students use a microscope whose prin- ciple is explained with a knowledge of math and optics, while chemistry is needed to understand the composition of both the mic- roscope and cells. Test tubes, microscopes, and row upon row of bottles and jars are some of the equipment in the chemistry, physics, biology, and physiology departments. This year TV physics, a series of films developed by Dr. Harvey White, was introduced to LN. The biology department is expanding a beating heart experiment shown last year at Jun- ior Science Academy. In chemistry the amount of lab work required of students has been increased. Mathematics is often considered the only pure science. From elementary arithmetic to business math, and from algebra and ge- ometry to trigonometry and analytics, LN offers training to meet the students’ indi- vidual needs. Television was newly intro- duced to geometry classes, and the Univer- sity of Nebraska continued in its practice of giving college credit to those who pass achievement tests in advanced math courses. Pari of the tradition of LN---William Gross- oehme, Miss Audria Shumard, Miss Myrtle Clark, Lawrence Teply, Miss Isabelle Smith, Bun Galloway, and Miss Elizabeth Shaver. Will these equations ev- er balance?—Jim Davis. 17 Service with a smile—Miss Mary Burnham, Ann Bar- rett, Sandy Whitenack, Steve Good, and Greg Bischof. But the Main Skill of Communicating Ideas Pausing for a moment in the cafeteria— Robert Stoddard and Mrs. Patricia Haith. Someone once said, “Democracy is gov- ernment by talk.” By increasing our work- ing knowledge of English, the means by which our country talks, we, as students of today and citizens of tomorrow, bolster our position in this democracy. This year methods were once again im- proved in an effort to give students a bet- ter working knowledge of the language by which all of us communicate. Television was added to Senior Composition as another effective audio-visual aid, and literature classes benefited greatly from the exper- iences that Mr. Mason gained attending an educational convention in California. “Help!” might be the reaction that many would have if we were asked to stand up and speak. LN provides a course in speech to help overcome these fears. The develop- ment of logical thinking is the purpose of debate, while interpretation of the works of famous dramatists presents a challenge to those in drama class. How, why, and where are only a few of the questions that Miss Burnham, librarian, Is Developed in Language Arts Classes. Mrs. Krause, please explain yourself—Mrs. Eliza- beth Reeder, Miss Elaine Simithberger, Jack Muel- ler, Mrs. Barbara Kos, and Mrs. Helen Krause. It's a never - ending stream—Mrs. Ula Maher. is asked to answer every day. Many of these can usually be answered with one brief sentence, “Check the card catalogue.” In no place, other than the library, is there so much information so readily available to LN students. Deadlines and more deadlines must be met by those students that bring us our paper every other Friday. They help re- establish the fact that deadlines will have to be met all through life. While those working on newspaper do short-range plan- ning, those on yearbook staff must use long- range planning to fit the many elements of the school into one unit that reflects the personality of LN. In order to accomplish anything in the line of journalism, literature, or speech one must first have a knowledge of the basic elements of English. These basic elements can be gained through courses in junior high English, English III and IV, and Sen- ior Composition. When all elements of English, our country’s “talk”, are tasted, chewed, and digested by the student, then, certainly our democracy must be enriched. My first point is — speech class. 19 We're Ihe newcomers in Ihe faculty—Mrs. Janice Krause, Charles Johnson, Mrs. Joyce Badami, Mrs. Joan Blacksher, Mrs. Joan Tews, and Ronald Steinke. In Guidance, Students Define Goals and Armed with the patience of an angel and the wisdom and understanding of a Solomon, the guidance teachers stand ready to offer a helping hand to the students of North- east. They offer counseling to students as they choose a curriculum, decide on a life’s work, or solve the problems that every high school boy and girl faces. In twelfth grade guidance classes, stu- dents are urged to examine their ideals, morals, and fundamental beliefs when they prepare to write their philosophy of life pa- pers. Guidance counselors aid the seniors in deciding on post graduation plans. By instructing them in such things as filling out an income tax form, it is hoped that the students will be as well prepared as possible to face the responsibilities of adult life. In junior guidance classes, the students are helped to evaluate their own personal- ities and strive to improve them. Juniors are also given access to information on various occupations. Some students are absent too often— Frank Simon and Mrs. Loraine Calkins. 20 Strong emphasis is laid on choosing and studying a vocation in tenth grade guidance classes. A paper to be written on some oc- cupation, along with I.Q. and aptitude tests are in store for every sophomore. In ninth grade guidance classes, students choose a curriculum and decide on their majors and minors for senior high. Dur- ing this year, they also receive the begin- nings of vocational guidance. Information on and training in good reading and study habits are presented to eighth graders in their guidance classes. These junior high students are helped along the difficult road from adolescense to ma- turity by helpful hints on grooming and ways in which to achieve greater self-confidence and a more out-going personality. It is easy to imagine how huge and pos- sibly frightening the long, crowded halls of Lincoln Northeast appear to seventh graders entering the school for the first time. It is in their guidance classes that these new students receive their orientation to their new life as junior highers. Here they learn the grading system, the school personnel, the policies of the school, and exactly what will be expected of them as they face this phase of their life. Their Contributions A glimpse of one of fhe lively discussions in Senior Guidance. Exams exhaust me, too —Mrs. Beryl Bowlin. Now, this is a bulletin—Brad Bigelow. The ancienls used these for clubs—Donna Boiler, Karen Galbrath, and Lawrence Mason. To Society In America A passport to faraway places, a door- way to the dim past, and a key to a better understanding of the present is offered to each of the students taking social studies courses at Lincoln Northeast. Among those courses offered are world history, American history, and modern problems. New experi- ments in this field of teaching were tried this year when American history was one of those courses offered by the University of Nebraska over its educational TV channel. Keeping ahead of currenl affairs— Louis Austin, Henry Willemsen, and Miss Eleanor Wieland. This is ihe French magazine ihai comes every week—Miss Helen Dunlap and Mrs. Lois Althouse. And Lands Across The Seas. I study, too—Miss Margaret Dolezal. Are you interested in other people, other cultures, other ways of life? If so you are probably already familiar with the LN foreign language department. The language department now offers two years of German, Latin, and Spanish, and is offering three years of French for the first time this year. A new addition this year to the special equipment used in this field is the lan- guage lab in Room 310. Here the students work with drills, tapes, and recordings. In order to cope with life in a world which becomes smaller every year, as new inventions decrease the time it takes to go from one country to another, it is becom- ing increasingly important that we know more about people in other lands. Learning the culture of another country is as basic as learning its language. At Northeast students learn songs, poems, and customs of a country in addition to their study of the grammar and mechanics of the foreign language that they are studying. 2.1 T ■h Hfiana fcViwiw Mr r I don't think that's the eligibility list—Max Hester. Ed Johnson, Barry Moore. Bill Jones, and Tom Kidd. Physical Activity, This year the physical education depart- ments joined forces on Thursday afternoons to provide many profitable and enjoyable times for students. In addition, field days for boys and play days for girls became more popular, as these special events became more numerous. This was the first year that all gvm classes used the physical fitness test. The junior high boys gym classes played tournament touch football games, while the girls worked on modern dance and estab- lished the first LN girls’ bowling league. The low, low Triumph of Miss Betty Brown—Mrs. Vietta Short and Bob James. 24 Sweet harmony—Mrs. Velma Snook and Mrs. Pearl Lowell. It'll be pretty when it's fin- ished— Marsha Bookwalter. Music, and Art Enrich Students’ Lives, In a sense, students taking one of the fine arts courses offered at Northeast are studying a language, for both art and music are surely among the most beautiful and universal ways in which persons are able to commuinicate with one another. The sounds of young voices can be heard drifting through the halls of the school every morning during first period when choir meets. Later in the day, these voices are replaced by those of members of girls glee, boys glee, triple trio, and mixed chorus. Boys’ and girls’ choruses are of- fered as vocal music fare in junior high. One hour of concentrated practice every- day, out-of-town trips, and concerts are in store for all members of the LN band and orchestra. Most of these players have gained their musical experience in prep band and prep orchestra, junior high groups. General and Adanced Art are offered to senior high students. In these classes, art appreciation is taught and good art prin- ciples are put into practice. Preparation for these classes is made in seventh, eighth, and ninth grade art classes. These fellows have the will to win—Art Bauer. 25 Paying Lincoln Teacher Association dues—Duane Schulz, Mrs. Mildred Richards, and Mrs. Mabel Jacoby. and Practical Skills of Earning a Living Business minded young men and women are greatly needed in the hustle and bustle of today’s fast moving business world. Such skills as typing, bookkeeping and shorthand are in great demand. At Northeast, students in the clerical and stenographic department may take typing, bookkeeping, clerical train- ing, shorthand, or salesmanship. Students who are earning a business major at LN take a field trip each year through local banks and businesses to increase their knowl- edge of their field. Preparing lo create—Mrs. Marie Bell and Mrs. Joyce Gishwiller. Clink, clank, click, ding, this room is usually noisy—Mrs. Dorothy Vifquain. Don't be scared, young fellow—Bob Vaughn, Roger Martin, and Lloyd Schmadeke. Are Not Neglected. Putting the final touches on a me- chanical drawing—Harold Murphy. Researcher, nutritionist, chemist, and physicist, besides the homemaker and teach- er, are all people who can come under the classification of a home economist. Home economics courses at LN became more fam- ily-centered this year with the emphasis on the development of individual living in the family, instead of the acquisition of skills. As the new agriculture program started its second year, it became apparent that it is much superior to and more flexible than the previous program. By placing college prep students in one-hour ag classes and trade students in two-hour ag classes, the abilities and needs of both groups are more adequately met. With this new program LN agriculture department has grown to become one of the largest in the state. In making the various items that come out of the industrial arts department, stu- dents learn not only the use of tools and machines, general properties of specific ma- terials, development of craftsmanship and creativeness, and knowlege of design, but also others, available most easily from for- mal training. Cooperation and strict observ- ance of safety rules is vital for use of these skills in industry and as a hobby to fill lei- sure time. By working together, students al- so acquire qualities of leadership and gain fellowship. Successful projects undertaken this year included the spinning of metal, in a process similar to the molding of clay, and the second city-wide industrial arts exhibit. Together, they can make almost anything—Boyd Thompson, Evan Boiler, and Watson Coleman. m Checking attendance figures—Mrs. Hel- en Hubka and Mrs. Grace Ferguson. Thank you for calling —Mrs. Helen Limbeck. Efficiency--Office Staff’s Middle Name This is a yearly job— Mrs. Lucile Witt, R.N. and Tommy Hart. Something new was added to the office personnel this year when Mrs. Helen Hubka became Mr. Taylor’s secretary. Others carry- ing out the many necessary routine tasks in the office are Mrs. Grace Ferguson and Mrs. Helen Limbeck. In charge of the bookroom, its piles of textbooks and supplies, and the assorted lost articles to be found there is Mrs. Sel- ma Pavey. Guarding the health of almost 1400 jun- ior and senior high students is the task of Mrs. Lucille Witt, RN. Behind the door of Room 119, Mrs. Witt records heights and weights and decides which sniffles and sneezes are serious enough to send afflicted students home. According lo my accounts — Mrs. Selma Pavey. CAFETERIA STAFF: Sealed—R. Sinnett, D. Dap- pen, B. Schafer (manager), K. Grey, T. Ing- werson, G. Norton, H. Schutte, F. Rolofson, R. Packctt. Standing—V. Koenig, A. Baehr, E. Anderson, D. Lungershausen, E. Eisenbarth (city manager), M. Squires, B. Gans, L. Eby, N. Nelson, B. McMullen, E. McMurty, H. Becker. Every inch of Northeast, including its daily crop of paper wads, stuffed waste- baskets, and dirty blackboards, is well known to one group of people—the North- east custodial staff, under the head cus- todian, Mr. Bunten. Everyday a mob of over 1000 hungry stu- dents passes through the cafeteria at LN where they are met by the foods staff, un- der the supervision of Mrs. Schafer. Oh, the soup looks good — Mrs. Lunger- shausen, Mrs. Sinnett, and Judy Kreitman. Pleasant, Healthy Environment Is Our Aim CUSTODIAL STAFF: Sealed—F. Bunten, E. Hart, L. Lovelace, N. Lorenson, H. Brennan, L. Wurm, M. Smith. Standing—W. Koenig, L. Pearson, O. Hoke, M. Brennan, C. Elam. Being a Living Focus of Their School’s Mosaic Like the multi-colored patterns found in a giant kaleidoscope, the living mosaic of Lincoln Northeast is ever-changing. And just as the absence or addition of one small piece of colored glass makes a difference in the kaleidoscope pattern, so will the ab- sence of the 1960 seniors alter the colors and the flavor of Lincoln Northeast. The 1959-60 Northeast mosaic is a unique one. No former LN mosaic nor any to come will be composed of exactly the same individuals nor spiced by exactly the same incidents. The 1950-60 mosaic of Lin- coln Northeast belongs to the year’s seniors. The contributions their class made to the school gave the mosaic its distinction. Andersen, Janet. Business Administration.

Before the Lincoln High game, senior girls gathered at Bethany Park to munch hot dogs and po- tato chips and, despite the rain, decorate the assembled cars with black and white crepe paper.

If we could project ourselves forty years into the future, we might find some bearded Rocket of '60 vintage telling his grandchildren, “Yup, that was the winter to end all winters. It snowed straight through from Christmas to the Fourth of July. And when it did thaw—there were chuck holes in the streets a city block long!” Grandpa Rocket could safely say that the ’60 winter was the snowiest that most of us had ever seen. Because of the weath- er, more days were canceled in the Lincoln public schools than ever before in our school careers. And the badly damaged streets brought smiles to no faces, save those of tire dealers. Triple Trio was made up entirely of seniors this year. The lineups of varsity basketball and football cheerleaders were also all-senior. Senior boys played their way to All-city and All-state athletic teams. The class of ’60 was a source of leadership for school organizations. Seniors were fea- tured in the all-school plays and on the debate teams. Scholarships and individual awards were showered on the class. Activities outside of the school which were reflected by scholarship and citizen- ship within school were also undertaken by the seniors. Such projects as a World Day of Prayer breakfast were well attended by Northeasterners. Whoops, there goes my re- search paper—Deanna Versaw Marcotte, Larry. Engineering.

It was a wonderful year—1960! We beat our nemesis and traditional rival, Lin- coln High, in the first game of the basket- ball tournament, and the football team battled its way into the state ratings for the first time in several years. Of course, there were other important things in our senior year besides sports. Remember Bernd Schimmelpfennig, our German exchange student and the contribu- tion he made to our class. There were so many unforgettable events in our senior year—the Turnabout, the Christmas pro- gram, All-Sports Banquet, and Junior-Senior Party which the underclassmen hosted for us on May 27. We canvassed the stores looking for the perfect Baccalaureate dress or sharp, new graduation suit. Remember the thrill we felt as we watched our classmates whom we had elected for special honors on the May Day stage. Members of our class who had won special recognition for scholarship were pre- sented at the Senior Honors Assembly on June 1. Our Baccalaureate speaker was the Rev. John E. Knight, who delivered his message on June 5 at First Methodist Church. Sue DePriest represented the seniors as class speaker and Dr. Norman Thorpe of Uni- versity High was the guest speaker at Pine- wood Bowl when our class assembled for commencement and the completion of the LN mosaic of 1960.

Tucker Many Lincoln Northeast students re- ceived special recognition for their schol- astic accomplishments. Top ranking stu- dents were Sue DePriest. Maureen Frolik, Mary Sue Hiskey, Joyce Hamilton, Mary Ann Overton, Enid Reeder, Rae Tucker, and Jean Walters. The Girls Athletic Scholarship to the University of Nebraska was awarded to Sue Elliott. Sue DePriest received a $1000 Freshman Scholarship to the University of Nebraska. From the fifteen Lincoln Northeast boys trying out, Jim Davis received the NROTC Scholarship. Winner of the Nebraska Regents Schol- arship was Bill Hoffman, who transferred from Lincoln Northeast to California. There were twenty-eight alternates from Lincoln Northeast. Alternates receiving scholarships were Sue DePriest, Jo Felton, Bill Fowler, Maureen Frolik, Dave Neal, and Enid Reeder. 48 J. Wallers LN Acquires Friends Overseas Through AFS Through the American Field Service, students have the opportunity to live with families in foreign lands and become ac- quainted with their customs. Steve Good spent two months last sum- mer in Finland. One of the highlights of his visit was a trip north of the Arctic Circle to the Land of the Midnight Sun. Sight seeing in Sweden kept Maureen Frolik busy last summer. Her hosts, the Bergstrom family, introduced her to the custom of afternoon coffee, which often included as many as seven kinds of pastries. Bernd Schimmelpfennig, attending Northeast as an exchange student from Bre- men, Germany, finds a variety of interests in the American way of life. At the top of his list are cars, hamburgers, and girls. Your mouse's eyes match that sweater— Deanna Versaw, Maureen Frolik, Sue Hyland, Judy Lutes, and Mindy Round. On a clear day like this I can al- most see the reindeer—Steve Good. At home in the United States—Bernd Schim- melpfennig with Mr. and Mrs. Jensen and Jack.

Active pretty well describes this year’s Juniors. The traditional middlemen have certainly made their presence known, hav- ing one hundred more members than the Senior Class, and even topping the Sopho- more Class which was expected to be larger. Among the honors bestowed on Juniors were selection of candidates for American Field Service, Boys’ and Girls’ State, and reserve cheerleaders. American Field Serv- ice finalists were Don Hanway, Kathleen Hobbs, Jane Holm, Kathy Lux, and Ann Miller. Mike Culwell, John De Priest, Dick Faubel, Larry Hamilton, Jim Hartman, Curt Kiner, Andris Leja, Jim Nelson, Bob Weav- er, Earl Wright, and Ronnie Weyers were finalists for Cornhusker Boys’ State, while Judy Catlett, Janice Govaerts, Jane Holm, Peggy King, Kathy Lux, Karen McMahan, Rita Nelson, Kristine Olson, Bertha Overton, Jody Reeder, Dianne Rurup, and Margaret Wotton took the honors for Girls’ State. This was the first year that LN had reserve cheerleaders. Juniors filling the po- sition were Pat Coleman, Jeanette Custer, Cynthia Hester, Sue Hile, Linda Lee, Kay Stoehr, Mary Jo Thacker, and Margaret Wotton. Do you save everything—Norma Peterson, Sue Hile. 50 Northeast's Largest Class, and They Made “We’re guinea pigs ’ could well have been the cry of Juniors this year, but Jun- iors are also a dollar richer. Lincoln North- east’s Junior Class was chosen as one of the control groups for the National Merit exams. Therefore, all Juniors took the Merits on March 8. There were other firsts for Juniors which included participation in choir, journalism, pep club. County Govern- ment Day. JUNIORS: Top Row—D. Boiler, M. Bolin, M. Bookwalter, S. Booth, M.

Sophomores Added 316 For the Sophomore Class this was a year of firsts—first senior high dance, first opportunity for participation in inter-school competitive sports, first chance to join a great variety of school-sponsored organiza- tions, and first time to become a contrib- uting component of a growing and chang- ing mosaic at LN. However, not everything was a first. Most of this year’s Sophomores had gone to school in this building in junior high. Many returned to re-establish old acquaint- ances and meet new friends. The Sopho- more Class was split three ways between Culler, Dawes, and LN Junior Highs. The three distinctive and different environments provided diversity among the sophomores— diversity that was bridged by a feeling of belonging to the whole structure of LN. With the help of Guidance Counselors Bill Jones and Brad Bigelow, the Sopho- more officers, Dave Lebsack, president; Bill Ferguson, vice president; Gay Stutz- man, secretary; and Diane Goldenstein, treasurer; have led their class through its first year at LN. 58 Lively Teenagers To The Student Population SOPHOMORES: Top Row — C.

I Ann 59 They Studied Themselves and Their World, In guidance classes Sophomores made job reports. These reports were a detailed project which was carried for six weeks. These reports included vital information concerning job conditions, necessary train- ing or skills required, expected earning power, and possibilities for advancement. Sophomores were also tested for mental ma- turity, achievement in math and English, and areas of interest for a future occupation. SOPHOMORES: Top Row—L. Gable, G. Giest, J. Gieber, P. Gloe.

Perhaps the biggest thrill for Sopho- mores is getting their driver’s licenses. Many Sophomores take driver’s training second semester. Another class that is pre- dominately Sophomores is health class. This class was further reminded of health when Sophomores were given tuberculin skin tests. These tests were in compliance with the city-wide practice of testing all fifth and tenth graders. Set the Stage for Their High School Drama Sophomores took advantage of their first chance to participate in competitive sports. Nine boys in the Sophomore Class lettered in fall or winter sports—Jim Bart- lett, Jim Haas, John Hill, Ken Hood, Dave Lebsack, Bob Maxwell, Dick McAdams, Skip Peterson, and Leonard Schluter. These sophomores, along with their upper class teammates have done a good job in representing LN. SOPHOMORES: Top Row—R. Swihart, W. Tan- genian, D. Taylor, M. Thomas, D. Townsley, T. Twiford, B.

Enthusiasm and humor add zest and harmony to everyday living. At Lincoln Northeast it is the many and varied activities which add moments of color, gaiety, excitement to its school days, as well as offering to each individual a chance to develop his talents and pursue special fields of interest.

FFA Boys Seek Careers in Agriculture Do you know how to milk a cow, raise prize-winning pigs, or take care of a farm or a ranch? These are just a few of the varied topics upon which Northeast FFA members are well informed. Farmers are the backbone of American economy. Some of these boys will someday be among the small and large farmers scat- tered across our nation. Others look for- ward to entering one of the more specialized professions in the agricultural field; these numerous possibilities include marketing, agricultural biology, agricultural chemistry, and plant ecology. One of the highlights of the year is the Father-Son Banquet, held on December 10, at which the food, from mashed pota- toes to turkey, is fixed and served by the boys. For the first time in LNE history the voting for FFA Sweetheart resulted in a tie: Sandy Lloyd and Rita Nelson both reigned for this school year. Crops and soils, farm management, and animal husbandry are the courses offered at Northeast this year, under the direc- tion of Lloyd Schmadeke. Dan Flanagan, John Huck, Keith Pester, and Phil Miller were selected to serve as FFA officers.

Art Club members meet every first and third Thursday with their sponsor, Mr. George Rush. After a short business meet- ing, the gavel gives way to the paint brush and work begins. The cafeteria mural is one of the proj- ects the group has been completing. Many of the posters appearing on the bulletin boards are the efforts of these earnest artists. The Art Exhibit is the big event spon- sored by the club. Any student may sub- mit a painting, to be judged by a panel of two art teachers and three Art Club mem- bers. The paintings the panel selects for the exhibit are displayed in the art gallery. Later some of the works were exchanged for exhibits from other schools. QUILL AND SCROLL: Front Row—S. Mosher, D.

Northeast debators participated in 18 regular tournaments this year. Besides these tournaments, many other debates were scheduled on a home-exchange basis. Through these exchanges beginners gain ex- perience, while the varsity members are usually asked to judge. Any debator will testify to the inval- uable experiences gained through competi- tion. Techniques mastered will always be of value. 72 NFL: Front Row—D. De Priest, M. Thacker, K. Lux, S. Good. K. McMahan, J. Brumm. Sec- ond Row—C. Burchardt, K. Norris, D. Golden- stein, J. Reeder, B.

Each Drama Student Contributes to the Show Many talented Lincoln Northeast stu- dents devote a large part of their spare time to participate in the many speech activities which LN offers. “Magnificent Obsession” by Lloyd C. Douglas was presented on November 13 and 14, 1959. Its large cast of 16 was headed by Dave Anderson and Sandy Lloyd. Entertaining audiences on February 26 and 27, was the spring all-school play “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay.” Linda Strough and Sue Hyland portrayed the fe- male leads, with Dave Anderson and Kenton Hill playing opposite them in the male leads. Every year Masque and Gavel sponsors the two all-school plays. Members of stage craft class and the volunteers composing the play committees also contribute their part to the finished productions. On March 19, 1960 one of the two Lincoln Northeast drama classes presented the fol- lowing one-act plays, “My Client Curley,” “Beautiful Dreamer,” and “It’s Cold in Them Thar Hills.” Completing the annual Drama Festival, the other drama class presented three one-act plays on April 1. These were “Don’t Feed the Animals,” “The Dyspeptic Ogre,” and “The Summons of Sariel.” One of the most important speech tour- naments during the year was the Fine Arts Festival held on April 8 and 9. Fifteen stu- dents attended from the Speech Department. A one-act play entitled “The Wonder Hat” was presented by Lincoln Northeast students, who received a superior rating. Mrs. Elizabeth Reeder is in charge of the Speech Department, dramatic productions, and stage craft class. 75 MASQUE AND GAVEL: Front Row — S. De- Priest, A. Munnis, M. Round, J. Cook, L. Prier, S.

Youthful William Jennings Bryans, freckled Ethel Barrymores, and Alfred Hitchcocks with changing voices seem in- variably to find their way into the Lincoln Northeast Masque and Gavel club. A sin- cere interest and a willingness to take part in the various speech activities of the school are the requirements for membership in this organization. The Play's The Thing7 for Masque and Gavel Sponsoring the two all-school plays is the chief duty of Masque and Gavel. This year the plays chosen for presentation were Magnificent Obsession and Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. A special meeting to which former members of Masque and Gavel were in- vited was held in December. Other proj- ects of the club included attending plays presented by the University of Nebraska and Nebraska Wesleyan. “Winter Carnival” was the theme of the mid-winter initiation banquet at which eighteen new members were brought into the club. First semester Masque and Gavel officers were Maureen Frolik, president; Bill Fowler, vice president; Mike Culwell and Sue Hyland, secretaries. Second se- mester officers were Bill Fowler, Dave An- derson, Linda Strough, and Sue De Priest. 76 Many Questions Intrigue Science Clubbers From veterinary science to binary num- bers, from spectrascopic analysis to super- sonic flight, from tiny atoms to gigantic planets, and stars many trillions of miles away, the widely diversified fields of sci- ence are examined by members of Science Club. The projects of Science Club included the building of an electronic computer and game board and participation in the annual science academy in April. For the first time Science Club at Lin- coln Northeast was affiliated in 1960 with the National Science Clubs of America. With the help of sponsors Ellis Jeffery and Robert Resz, the officers led the group to increased activities. First semester offi- cers were presiednt, Jo Felton; vice presi- dent, Steve Good; and treasurer, Jim Hart- man. The officers for second semester in- cluded Steve Good, president; Dave Neal, vice president; and Jo Felton, treasurer. Enid Reeder served as secretary both se- mesters.

In- ternational Club members learn about peo- ple of the lands where these and other foreign tongues are heard. Many members have actually said, “Hello,” through pen pal letters. From talking with the foreign exchange students, Maureen Frolick, Steve Good, and Bernd Schimmelpfennig, and with people in the community who have traveled in foreign countries, International Club members hear first-hand experiences. Money making projects sponsored by In- ternational Club provide part of the funds that enable LN to reap the benefits of having foreign students in our school. This year members sold candy at Halloween to raise money. Carla McConnell, president; Dave Neal, vice president; Kathy Hutchins, secretary; and Sue Hyland, treasurer served as officers first semester. Second semester officers were Kathy Hutchins, president; Rita Nelson, vice president; Jane Holm, secretary, and Maureen Foley, treasurer. At the traditional Christmas party ex- change students and sponsors told of Christ- mases in other lands. The Club’s activities ended in the spring with a foreign foods dinner. Karen Galbrealh.

One of Denny Lyon's perennial jokes — chuckles from business manager Judy Miller, and page editors, Sharon Shields. Judy Keys, and Marcia Howe. Busy Northeastern Staff First semester news writers—Andie Monia, Sandy Lloyd, Sharon Jirka, Sharon Strauss, Ronald Houser, Pam Power, E. J. Lahman. Others may work from sun to sun, but the newspaper staff’s work is never, nev- er done. It seemed that one edition of the North- eastern had hardly been sent to the printers before the next was being planned. Day after busy day of laying out pages, check- ing copy, running beats, digging up infor- mation and organizing it into readable copy filled the time of both the first and second semester staffs. The Northeastern's first semester page editors were Judy Keys, first page; Sharon Shields, second page; Marcia Howe, third page; and Denny Lyon, fourth page. Second semester, a new system was in- itiated when two staff members were as- signed to each page. These persons took turns fulfilling the duties of page editor. Working with first page were Dick Drake and Pat Coleman; third page, Eloise Horner and Linda Merrill; fourth page, Jerry Alt- house and Mel Hester. Jonann Wolfe handled second page.

Every breathless second during a tense basketball game, every echo of applause following an all-school play, every edition of the school paper fresh with the smell of printer’s ink was of importance to some student who attended Lincoln Northeast during the 1959-60 school year. The '60 Rocket staff has dedicated itself to care- fully preserving these and other precious memories for those students who wish to keep their high school days fresh and ex- citing in their minds for years to come. This year’s annual was prepared almost entirely by persons new to the staff. Early in the year they set about the tasks of learning to make lay-outs, crop pictures, and meet deadlines. Sandy Lloyd was edi- tor of the '60 Rocket. Mrs. Barbara Kos served as the book’s adviser.

Gloomy Monday mornings were made just a little brighter for drowsy students and teachers by the melodic voices of the 90-member select choir exploding, dancing, or drifting through the corridors of Lincoln Northeast during first period. Duties of this year’s choir, other than that of chasing away early-morning blues, included participation in the annual Christ- mas assembly and evening program, sing- ing at commencement exercises in June, presenting a vesper program in February and preparing an operetta for production on May 6 and 7. Triple Trio, made up of nine selected girl vocalists and an accompanist, met every day during fourth period. Part of the ac- tivities filling their busy schedule were singing at assemblies, performing in the Rocket Revue and operetta, and appearing before several civic groups. How could anyone forget the gayety added to the Christmas season when Triple Trio joined the Brass Choir in serenading those in the cafeteria with carols and other seasonal tunes. With all this, Triple Trio members still found time to occasionally “just sing for fun.” The days came to a happy close in Room 123 when Boys Glee, made up of sophomore, junior, and senior boys met there during sixth period. Boys Glee joined the other music groups in presenting the annual Christmas program. CHOIR: Fronl Row—J. Justus. J. Brumm, B. Overton, P. Paulson, B. Void, S. Yost, P. Cole- man, D. Welsh. R. Peet, E.

Wes Schiermann, and Jim Anderson. Irish laughter and Irish melodies were threaded through the fantasy, Finian's Rain- bow. that was this year’s major Choir pro- duction. Set in the deep South, the story devel- ops in a small dale known as Raindow Val- ley. An old valley legend tells that They who meet on an April night Are forever lost in love. If there is moonlight all about. And no moon above. Helping make the legend come to life were cast members Jim Anderson, Tom Beachell, Richard Bomberger, Pat Coleman, Richard Hoffman, Jack Jensen, Wes Schier- mann, and Susan Treanor. Choir and Triple Trio, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Velma Snook, provided the cast, while backstage work was carried out by Girls Glee, set design by Mrs. Reeder’s Stage Craft Class, ushering by Mixed Chorus, and music by the orchestra directed by Duane Schulz. After many weeks of combined effort, the show was presented April 29 and 30. The success of the show proved to be the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for cast and crew. Now where do you suppose Finian got that crock of gold — Susan Treanor and Jack Jensen. Mixed emotions—Pat Coleman, Jim Ander- son, Richard Hoffman, and Tom Beachell.

Musical Background “The Music Man” won his rightful place in American minds this year with the ad- vent of the Broadway smash hit of the same name. Receiving their share of dis- tinction for playing one of those “seventy- six trombones,” “one hundred and ten cor- onets,” or that “one and only bass” were Northeast’s own “music men,” members of the LN band and orchestra. The hundred and three members of the Rocket Band performed during half-time at all Northeast football games, all pep rallies, and basketball games, and traveled to Fair- bury for the Mid-East band festival on March 18. Providing music for the all-school plays and operettas and joining with the band in presenting the Annual Spring Con- cert were the tasks of the LN orchestra. ORCHESTRA: Front Row—M. Frolik, L.

Rocket showmen greeted the sixties with everything from trumpet trio fanfares to chorus lines in gay nineties swim suits to gymnastics demonstrations. North- east ingenuity was showcased in a ventrilo- quism act and by two LN lasses who com- posed and sang their original pop songs. The awesome job of supervising the 25- act show fell to Mrs. Beryl Bowlin, senior guidance counselor.

Shouted the Rockettes this year with increased volume. The reason? Pep club membership had almost doubled from last year. Everyone went on a “Roman Holiday” on November 7, as the Rockettes sponsored the annual Turnabout Dance. Other spec- ial activities included two fun-filled bus- trips, one to Hastings during football sea- son and one to Fremont during basket- ball season. Pep club officers faced a big job this year with the increased number of peppers. First semester officers were Alice Fletch- all, president; Carla McConnell, vice-pres- ident, Carol Faling, secretary and Ann Munnis, treasurer. Serving as officers second semester were Bonnie Stansbury, president; Rae Tucker, vice-president; Linda Strough, sec- retary, and Marcia Howe, treasurer. This year’s sponsors were Mrs. Beryl Bowlin and Mrs. Velma Snook. Another first in Northeast history! Eight junior girls were chosen as reserve cheerleaders to lead pep club in their cheer- ing for minor sports and reserve games. Whatever the season, whatever the clime.

Senior Ron Peet and sopho- more Dave Lebsack spearheaded 2 thrusts at the Southeast line but were unable to score against the tough Knights. The first victory of the season was cap- tured by the Rockets when they traveled to Fremont to win over the Tigers, 25-0. Peet carried the ball to pay dirt three times during the game. Leslie Smith scored once in the second quarter. Three touchdowns were di- rectly due to the fine passing of sophomore quarterback Dave Lebsack. Grand Island squeaked by Northeast 6-0 when the teams met on the G. I. field for the Rocket’s third game of the season. The Islanders were finally able to break through the hardplaying Northeast linemen in the final quarter to score the decisive touchdown. G.

Link Bobby Williams scored in the first two minutes of play. Ron Peet scored for the Rockets in the second quarter. The following week, the Beatrice Or- angemen sparked by Bob Hohn scored twice against Northeast to down the Rockets 16-7. Peet’s running and Lebsack’s steady passing arm accounted for three of the Rock- ets touchdown as they defeated Hastings 27-14.

Three Northeast seniors, Center Mike Draper, Halfback Ron Peet, and End Jim Marple were named to the Journal's and Star's All-city teams. Peet and Draper also received All-state honors from Lincoln and Omaha papers. Good future team material was promised by the outstanding performances of sopho- more and junior linemen.

Other hard-hitting reserve teams the Rock- ets faced were Lincoln Southeast, Omaha Westside, Fairbury, and Fremont. The Rock- ets scored their greatest number of points against Westside in a close 21-16 game. Coaching the Northeast team were Bill Jones and Barry Moore. The Northeast sophomores coached by Bob James were able to wrap up a final victory over Lincoln Southeast when they met them for a second battle to end their season with one win and three losses.

To the students, our gratitude for their interest, their time, their encouragement, and their support. To the faculty and administration, our appreciation of their patience with our interruptions and requests. To the community, our parents and advertisers, our thanks for their financial help and their confidence in our ability. To our staff photographer, the indefatigable Les McAdams, who took our pictures whenever and however we asked him, and gave up 77 Sunset Strip every Friday night during winter sports season, our hearty thanks. To the Lincoln Yearbook Company, our thanks for their technical advice and appreciation for the high quality of their publications. The year we have spent working on the 1960 Rocket has been a wonderful one for us. We hope the many years you will spend en- joying the result of our work will be wonderful ones for you.
