Northeast High School - Rocket Yearbook (Lincoln, NE)

The faculty supports every Rocket activity Keeping up with all the pep and enthusiasm of the students requires the Lincoln Northeast faculty to be at its best. Whether in sports, clubs, or in schoolwork, they show a genuine interest in the success of the school and the pupils. Even after graduation they help and advise their former stu- dents with the problems of college and jobs. Trying to instill an interest for learning is one phase of teaching that takes patience and planning. Arriving early and staying late is the rule rather than the exception for our faculty. Coming early to plan unusual displays and searching for interest- ing reading material to supplement the regular course of study, is done by many of our consci- entious teachers. They also can be seen at the close of the day carrying home a stack of homework papers comparable to any student's assignments. Our faculty exemplifies the product of group cooperation. At the student faculty game they all shared the responsibility with the students to make it a success, even though they did choose their own referee. Keeping the school running smoothly is the result of a stable faculty which helps to give a feeling of unity to the school. Working in the well equipped reference section of the library—Don Pont, Charlotte Steinke, Judy Ueberrhein. Encouragement and adjustment—Bertha Overton and Mrs. Snoolc appear ready for the vespers. I pledge allegiance—another day begins.

i Into our school life we pour that priceless ingredient of our youth—our high ideals, our hopes, and our dreams. Through our high school years we have learned that our hopes for the future can only be realized if we give the best of ourselves to all the things we attempt. Here in our rousing Rocket pep song is embodied the Lincoln Northeast tra- dition of high ideals translated into realistic ex- pectations and performances. The spirit and traditions of a school are built by the entire student body with the cooperation of the administration. This spirit showed not only on the athletic field, but also in the classroom, and in the support of all our dances, plays, and the new student lounge. This was the year we learned to ac- cept situations that were presented to us. Getting used to eight o'clock classes and shorter lunch per- iods was a challenge to all of us. During our years at Lincoln Northeast we have been taught to meet defeat with a renewed effort to do better, and to accept victory graciously and with pride. s
