Ogallala High School - Chieftain Yearbook (Ogallala, NE)

Page 9 text:

Story By the Editor Soon after Miss Helen Marie Davis entered Ogallala High as a member of the faculty, all students began to hear her talk of plans for an Annual for our school. Strange words were these, that 0. H. S. had never heard before, but everyone seemed to like this idea of a school year- book, and the immediate interest taken by the students in seeing this plan pushed through was enormous. Student enthusi- asm rose to such an extent that the plan was pushed through. A staff was organiz- ed, the advertising campaign was begun, material was written, a name was chosen, and the book was edited. Throughout the year, when work was progressing on the Annual, there was al- ways splendid cooperation of the Annual Staff with which to work. Junior Gemmell very ably performed the many duties of Associate Editor. As Senior Editor, Arth- ur Riedesel’s efficiency has shown that he will someday make a very good journalist. Jack Doherty did very well as Sports Edit- or. Vernon MaGee and Mary Lee Adams, the business managers, had much to do in making this Chieftain possible. Jean Weyer had more than her share to do in her position of Finance Manager, for all the moflfey collected and paid out has had to go through her office. Ruth Creamer and Jacqueline Geisert have certainly been busy in writing about the school’s organ- izations and urging everyone to support this publication. Our advertising com- mittee, consisting of Geraldine Peterson, Margaret Mary Thalken, and Dale John- son, headed by Boyd McClara, have turned in fine effort and results in their advertis- ing campaign. Much credit must also go to Arthur Ditto and to the other Annual Assistants, Theron Thaden, Lumerd Giz- inski, and Audrey Rasher for their perfor- mance of many miscellaneous tasks. Gord- on Jollensten, though not a member of the staff, did much of the typing. To us students, this book is a big thing, and it has meant a lot of work and sacri- fice. Credit for putting over the job must go to the sponsor, for her untiring effort in seeing it accomplished, to the faculty for their general help, to the students for their splendid cooperation, and to the business men of Ogallala for their fine financial support, without which this book would not have been possible. This being, the first year O. 11. S. has ever had an Annual, the road was new and we were all rather uncertain as to how to undertake the task. As a result of this, no doubt we have made many mistakes. But we must leave that as it is and hope that the students in the following years may profit by our mistakes and be able to pul - lish a greater and better “Chieftain.” Back How—Dale Johnson, advertising Com- mittee; I.umerd Gixinskl. assistant; Margaret Mary Thalken. advertIslng committee; Geraldine Peterson, advertising committee; Theron Thud- on. assistant; Arthur Ditto, assistant; Jock Doherty.
