Class Htslovij of C lass of 1 0 On September 1928 a small expedition headed by Miss Minnie Wheling and consisting of Mary Ellen Kildare, Rose Ann Kosmicki, Eleanor Roc, Geraldine Peterson, Mary Lou Vandiver, Marjorie Gates, Bernice Stark, Ed Hopken, Harold Jensen, George Thorpe, Bill Shafer, Michael Kuril ., and Loraine Altig began a journey into the vast unexplored land of Education. At the end of the first year Miss Wheling turned over her duties to Miss Ruth Ewers. Frieda Hoffman and Thcron Thadcn joined here. The next two years lead by Miss Almeda Gould and Mrs. Ruth Warren passed by rather rapidly, adding to our party Bonita Eastburn, George Beckius and Ross Fender, and losing Michael Kuntz, Bill Shafer, and our new member, George Beckius. In 1932 Miss Bess Glebe accepted the position of leader; Maurine Mitchell, Raymond Ditlmnr and Michael Kuntz, a former member of the expedition, joined us. At this time we became aware of the fact that one nr ore year would complete our explorations in the land of Grade School, so with this expectation in mind we welcomed Mrs. Maude Dewey as leader. Also our old friend, George Beckius and a newcomer, Virginia Turley, who left the same year. Marjorie Gates also resigned at the end of the year. We then advanced to Junior High. This new country was filled with strange and exciting adventures. Dur- ing the seventh year we had two leaders, Miss Helen Gorder and Miss Eleanor Piesingcr. Marilyn Gile was our only newcomer this year. The next year we had a number of leaders. This year we had Miss Ruth Fink, Miss W'ilda Dierks and Mr. Charles Compton. Three new members joined our party. These were Marcia Cahill, Virginia Turley, and Martin Keller. A great advancement was made the next year. The entire group was headed by Mr. Kenneth Worley. Margaret Holscher, Marjorie Gates, LaVonnc Brown, Norma Lee Combs, Norma Davison, Helen Friedman, Ellen Kenfield, Alice Sibal, Elaine Wicst, Catherine Wlaschin, Ed Holscher, Bill Shafer, Ed Schindler, Jack Economos, Kenneth Ervin, John Francil, Bob Walker, and Chauncey Walker entered the Freshman country on the continent of High School, which is divided into three other countries. The second of these countries is called Sophomore year. As the group had become larger, two leaders. Miss Carol Schmidt and Mr. Homer Rector were necessary. Betty Corder, Glen Ziegenhagen, Don Shively, und Lyle Rook joined our company that year. The exposition had now entered the eleventh year of exploration. Huzcl Jackson, Naomi Groves, Shirley Brown, Warren Brown, Kenneth Bishop and Albert Armstrong joined us. Miss Helen Marie Davis and Mr. William Hoppock became our leaders. The next year, and consequently the lust for many of us, was led by Miss Valentina Nielsen and Mr. Vernon Payne. It brought five new meml ers. These were Dolores Wiest, Elizabeth Betz, Joan Mahood, Margie Sollars, Wayne Antrim, and Milton Senzig. The year is now ending. Part of the unknown land of Education has been explored, but much is yet to be discovered. A new expedition will begin next year—one which will take us into life. May this one be more suc- cessful than the last. -O'- 'S eniol “LONDONDERRY AIR We say farewell to you our dear old OHS. Long have we played within your cheery walls.

The play, given on May 7 and 8, concerned a young man who suddenly finds himself the possessor of a home, mortgaged up to the hilt, and the sole support of a mother and sister. A hidden treasure and a missing heirloom. “The Jade Ring,” constitute the mystery in the play. Miss Neilsen and Mr. Payne were the directors. I This year the Junior Class presented the well-known and universally loved play, “The Adven- tures of Tom Sawyer,” in three acts. There was a twelve-character cast, directed by Miss Shoaf.

Econonios. Dittmar, Jensen. Sheldon, Schulz. Cline, and Peter- son. With two weeks of practice “under their belts.” the Ogailala Indians encountered the Jules- burg Lions under the schools’ new lighting system. Neither “outfit” displayed the “stuff” it takes to win a ball game, as the fray ended 0-0. However. Chappell was unwilling to settle with such a score, when, on the following week they trimmed Ogailala 31-7. Evidently the Indians had learned lessons from the beating they took, because Sidney suffered a shutout 13-0. at the hands of Ogailala the next Friday. Next on the list was a battle with Im- perial. It was a severe one at that. Although Econonios dashed 60 yards for six points, the tinier stopped the watch with the score 6-6. One night a week later, Dalton sneaked home much distressed by the scalping they were handed by Ogailala. 20-0. New tricks in the form of surprise attacks, foiled the enemy completely. Kimball stopped the Indians 14-0, but suffered heavily, when they scored with unusual difficulty. Against Wauneta. the tables were more than turned, when the foe succumbed to superior forces, losing 19-0. Econonios. Shively, and Joe Thaiken t.'.llled one apiece. Hush showed up nicely also. — ♦ — A new comer on the schedule of football rivals was North Platte, who found that “out where the West begins” they grow tougher, since it was with less than one quarter to go that the Bulldogs managed to score by the use of aerial attacks. More reserve power won the game for the Bulldogs. Still bitter rivals in the football game were Grant and Ogailala, although the Farm- MO iJtootball SI evietv ( continued ) ers held the long end of a 13-7 score card. The Indians outyarded their opponents, hut were unable to convert repeated gains into touchdowns. Shively accounted for the the lone Indian tally. Those Swedes from Gothenburg upset the local outfit another Friday afternoon to the tune of 31-0. The Indians couldn’t seem to get into “high gear.” as they chased the Swedes across the field. Oshkosh, the F.agle's nest, squeezed out a narrow victory over O.H.S. in the annual Turkey day “gridiron classic.” The scoreboard read 13-9 even though the Indians twice trod on pay dirt only to have the touchdowns annulled on various technicalities. The Indians fine blocker and line plunger. Don Shively was chosen honorary captain of the 1939 football eleven. Squad £!3asketUl Although the Ogallala Indian Reserve “hoopsters” broke even in 1941) scheduled games, win- ning six and losing six games, they out-pointed their opponents 326 markers to 270. Little Frank Thorpe dropped 103 counters through the basket, scoring nearly a third of the Indians' total tallies. North Platte first swamped the B’s 28 to 10. Sutherland then bowed 21 to 4 to the Indians, with Thorpe netting 17 points. Julesburg won 26 to 14, while Grant lost 29 to 18. Lodgepole squeezed out a 21 to 20 victory, but Oshkosh and Imperial were annexed in rapid succession 50 to 23 and 34 to 21 respectively. The B’s scalped Paxton’s Tigers 44 to 27; were beaten by Chappell 22 to 15, and stopped Grant 22 to 17. In an overtime period, Paxton nosed out Ogallala 33 to 31. In their final debut, the Indian Seconds dropped the closest fray of the season by losing out to Sutherland 21 to 20. ) Left to Right: Harold Magee, Edward Schindler.

Aside from tournaments, the In- dians won nine games and lost six, one of these in an overtime period. The Indians poured 426 counters through the baskets against 358 for their op- ponents. The North Platte Bulldogs opposed the Indians in their first game; North Platte won 39 to 33. George Thorpe made 8 field goals. Sutherland was stopped short by Ogullala, 36 to 22. Julesburg had little trouble, winning 36 to 14. Grant was annexed 29-18 as also was Lodgepole 27 to 18. Oshkosh took a severe setback a week later, 37 to 26. Thorpe fooled the Eagles as he ac- counted for 23 counters. Imperial lost out 33 to 17, while Paxton’s Tigers nosed out a 24-20 victory. The Tigers earned the victor)’, since they were continually shadowed throughout the game by the speedy Ogallaliuns. Ziegcn- hagen arched” the bull for nine points. Chappell, who has always been respect- ed by the Indians for their ability and sportsmanship, downed the boys from O.H.S. by a score of 34 to 24. Bob Pounds led the local scorers with eight points. The Farmers from Grant surprised with a 22-20 victory over Ogullala dur- ing a return engagement. At half time the Indians were out in front, 14 to 5; Basketball � t however, Price of Grant pot 5 field poals in the last stanza, lying the score 20 all. In the overtime period, this same Price won the game. The Indian forces rained accurate, shots against Paxton in revenge for a preceding defeat, trouncing the Tigers 38 to 28. Pounds garnered 14 tallies for the Indians. Journeying to Kimball to collect another scalp, the Indians were nosed out by one point. The hosts led 13 to 7 at the rest period, but due to the efforts of Thorpe and Pounds, the visitors pulled up to within one point of a tic. A gift toss won the game for Kimball. George Thorpe again led the scorers with 13 markers. Sutherland succumbed to u terrific bombardment by Indian sharpshooters, as Ogallala blasted their opponents 55 to 13. Zicgenhagen got 12 points and Shively 11. In the final encounter for the Indians, a highly favored Cozad quintet was beaten by Ogallala. Thorpe was “hoi as he poured tallies through the hoop. Thorpe scored enough points during the season to hold undisputed honors as high point man. Second high was Zeigenhagen with many counters. COACH WILCOX JACK ECONOMOS Senior, Forward GLEN ZIEGENHAGEN Senior, Forward KAY DITTMAR Senior, Guard DON THOMPSON Junior, Guard GEORGE THORPE Senior, Center iJjiack The 1940 track squad at Ogallala High was under the direction of Coach Ernest Collins.

Tlu Ogallala High School Music Department this year took pleasure in presenting the Operetta. “Chonita”, on February 8th and 9th. “Chonita” is the story of a Gypsy romance which takes place in Hungary in the year 1880. The plot is laid around Chonita, the princess of the tribe who is cele- brating her eighteenth birthday. She leaves her tribe, due to a promise made to her mother, and goes to live with her mother’s folks who are white people. Her lover, Stephan, comes to visit her and finds her. however, with another young man who also loves her. The story ends when Chonita leaves the white people and goes back to her tribe to see her father, who is ill. Daya. her nurse, reads the stars and tells the lovers how foolish they are not to make up to each other. A gay and happy ending concluded the Operetta. Principal characters were Berdeen Pilger. Bob Carter. Bonnie Jean Boyd. Theron Thaden. Eldon Geisert, Madeline Roe, Raymond Martin, and Martin Keller. They were supported by a picked chorus of the Music Department. ♦--- The Junior High Operetta was presented by the Junior High students.
