□ GO LLP L A HIGH 5CHDDL OCALLALA, NEBRASKA As the 1 :00 o’clock bell rings, the doofs open, and the students pour in. ready to re- sume their afternoon classes. It is the purpose of this book to pre- sent a pictorial and philosophic cross- section of Ogallala High School during the year 1940-41. Don’t do as I do. but do as I say.” is the advice of the seniors to a timid little freshman when said freshman first enters O. H. S. Stay in nights, study hard, be one of the highest in all of your classes, get elected president of several organizations, do something outstanding for your school, keep your name in the Rodeo and Alallago, support the football team, yell loudly at all the basketball games, and at the termination of your four years of training, you too may march proud'y down the aisle in the The indispensable secretary of 0. H. S., Valera Brown, poufs the duplication fluid in the '‘ditto machine. Dutch Schau runs the movie machine for the aeronautics class as they watch modern aircraft in action. 13 commencement processional, while the eyes of your proud mother and father follow you. Yes, they are proud and happy to see their child at last achieve some- thing for which he or she has been striv- ing for twelve years—proud, but also a little sad to think that now their child’s happy carefree high school days are over and he must now “commence a new life of his own. Each individual must go through a twelve year developing and mellowing process before receiving the “O. K. stamp—the diploma—signifying that the article has been thoroughly tested and will not be found wanting in any phase of life touched upon by that noble body of craftsmen, the faculty. The diploma is the guarantee that the product is dur- able enough to withstand many hardships, possess the tenacity to overcome many obstacles and has what it takes to keep smiling through”—a guarantee issued by at least a full two dozen instructors who have played no small part in influencing the the character of the product for the better during the four years of high school. As the largest class ever to graduate from Ogalla'a High School, the seniors of 1941 have made their presence known. Seven positions on the football eleven were manned by senior athletes, while three seniors were regulars on the basket- ball quint. Senior track and field artists always collected their share of points for the Black and Orange during the spring sport. If we were to mention every worthy senior, and only a lack of space will not permit us to do so. we would need to merit 65. the entire class. However, the junior, sophomore, and freshman classes, too. deserve a full measure of credit in making Ogallala High School a school which we are proud to call our Alma Mater. If the graduate serves to be dealt upon excessively, it is not unjustly so, for he embodies the result of the years of preparation for worthy citizenship on the part of the student and teacher alike. The graduate must kneel to no man. for his grooming has been so carefully gauged, wisely enacted, and timely con- cluded as that of any person. The world stands before him waiting. In this new decade students will continue to develop a more serious appreciation of a high school education. “The little girl from across the street came over to watch Bill DeVriendt snap pictures.

Students started turning in their snapshots, annuals were paid for months in advance, juniors and seniors posed for individual pictures, and the advertising campaign was launched.

Mr. Wilson, is responsible for this book. This is a record of the school history of O. H. S. from September 2. 1940. to May 22. 1941. Skatkd: Don Thompson. Bonnie Jean Boyd, nnd Katherine Ihrig.

Curtain! Action! THE GHOST BIRD AMERICA FIRST The words of the caption are those that opened one of the most successful plays given in the history of the Ogallala High School. This was The Ghost Bird , given by the junior Class, and sponsored by Mr. Richardson. The play was a four-act mystery comedy. Toby, an amateur de- tective. played by George Vasa, afforded the audience with great peals of laughter. In the second act. the death of Brad Buckhart. characterized by Bob Harvey, added much to the mystery of the story. The killer. Philip Graham, dramatized by Milford Krajewski. was discovered at the close of the play by Jenkins, a police de- tective. who in real life was Harold Magee. The leading characters along with everyone of the supporting players served to make this play the hit of the season . America First was a red-blooded, up-to-the- minute comedy drama of the difficulties of an enthusiastic American youth. Lee Holmes, who became entangled in a communistic plot to corrupt the morals of American youth by interesting them in a dancing school managed and taught by Ola and Franz Kring. The obstinate 96 year old grandpa, the spryest man alive of the War of 1861,” supplied the humor to the play in scenes with Mrs. Boggs, the house- keeper. More serious moments were enacted by Uncle Frank, a G-man who was trying to break up the spy ring; Gladyce Caley, Lee’s discarded girl-friend; Mrs. Holmes, the typical American mother; Jimmie Banks, a young fellow who be- longed to the Krings’ Inner Circle , and was a friend of Lee’s; and the sweethearts, Owen Blake, a young army pilot, and Dorothy Holmes. In the last few heart-gripping moments. Uncle Frank, his associates, and the Holmes’ broke up the spy ring, captured the Krings with the goods and the Holmes life fully returned to thal of an average American family. Harold MaGee tip his hat to Gleynim Bromley as the member of the cant ami the play committees applaud in the background. Standing i.kkt to right arb: Gene Gemmcll. Clarence Hunke, Jack Gcmmell.

OF THE STUDENTS BY THE STUDENTS FOR THE STUDENTS The Student Council. Ogallala High's intermediary between students and fac- ulty. serves to bring the interests of the students before the faculty and to pro- mote student cooperation in behalf of student government. The Student Council sponsored the first school dance this year, decorated the school at Christmas, sponsored the elec- trical demonstration, and is now work- ing to secure student government. The school also sponsored the first school fair, held April 25. in which each class sponsored an exhibition of the work achieved during the school year. WE STAND BEHIND OUR TEAMS The purpose of the Athletic Board is to encourage students to participate in sports, which in turn develop leader- ship and sportsmanship. Among the numerous duties of this board are—decorating the goal posts for footba'I games, advertising at home games of football and basketball, and sponsoring the sale of season tickets. This year this group sponsored the ath- letic banquet, served by the Catholic ladies, December 4. in the high school gym. YOU MAKE THE TOUCHDOWN. WE LL MAKE THE NOISE A touchdown, a touchdown, a touch- down. boys! You make the touchdown; we'll make the noise!”—This was not only one of the O. H. S. Pep Club's fav- orite yells, but signified what the main duty of the Pep Club is—to cheer the boys on to victory. Win or lose, the girls were always right there encourag- ing the boys to do their best. To increase the treasury the girls sold candy at all football and basketball games. A new feature of the Pep Club this year was the drill team. The team was outstanding in its flashlight drills at the night games. Officers chosen early in the year were. Cathleen Mueller, president; Lor- ene Gaston, secretary-treasurer; Mar- garet Mary Thalken, drill captain. FIRST CURTAIN—YOU’RE ON Fostering an interest, promoting stu- dent ability, and providing entertainment are the aims of this group. The value of this group in developing self-confidence, poise, and acting ability will be determined in later years if one or many of this group attains any success which may in part be due to training he received at O. H. S. under the direction of Mr. Richardson. When a student first joins the club, he is given the rating of Papoose. If he works for the betterment of the club, and his own acting ability, he is given the rank of Indian. With continued hard work in either plays, readings, as student director, or as stage manager, he finally achieves the highest rank—that of an Attatrouper. For the play On Vengeance Height , the Attatroupers were given a superior rating at North Platte, at the District Declamatory Contest. March 28. Bonnie Jean Boyd was acclaimed best actress of the district. Cheerleaders: Phyllis Hay- ford. Mary Alice Thalken. Marian Raleifth, Patricia Thal- kcn. 1st row: M. Stephenson. J. Inley. B. Pi liter.

With two weeks practice and training in suir. the Ogallala Indians went to julesburg for their first tussle for gridiron laurels. Finding the oppo- sition a bit weak, the boys trounced them to the tune of 27 to 0. The following week the squad met Chappell on the home field but found them 'too tough’.

Ogallala holding the short end of the score. With one win and one loss, the boys began to dig down and get to work for one of the hardest duals of the season,—the Sidney game. They came home with another victory that night; 13 to 12. Two touchdowns by Bob Stephenson and an end run for the extra point by joe Thalken accounted for our triumph. The next battle scheduled was with Imperial. Despite the tried efforts of the boys, the score ended at 6 to 0; Imperial being the victor. The Friday night a week later brought thrills to football fans of this community when Brady played the boys on the home field. Each team went their various ways after the game, some- what gratified having shared laurels in a 6 to 6 tie score. Kimball shut out the Indians with a 13 to 0 tally, but suffered heavily when they scored with such unusual difficulty. The following Friday the team was forced to succumb to the superior forces of Wauneta’s team in a tilt ending with a score of 7 to 0. The Indians showed superiority on the gridiron, but were uable to convert repeated yardage gains into touchdowns. The next dual was with an o'd rival. Grant. Both teams showed exceptional qualities on the field but neither gained any advantage over the other. When the stop watch ticked the final play, the score stood tied at 6 to 6. This was the first time the laurels were ever shared by these two teams. In the season’s final tilt, the Indians were again forced to bow to superior forces, this game being the annual Turkey Day classic. When the referee closed the last scrimmage of the season for the boys, the score board showed a 21 to 13 victory for Oshkosh. The Indian’s fine blocker and tackier.

Indian quintet” and their aids experienced their most triumphant season in years during 1941. Of the fourteen games played, only two were lost, these being lost by only four points in each case. The Indians, in their fully triumphant season, sank the ball for a total of 571 points against 353 points made by their opponents. Holyoke met Ogallala on the court for the first game of the season; they were defeated by the narrow margin of 40 to 39. Shafer and Pounds were the leading hoopsters of the evening with a combined total of 30 points, julesburg was the second team to bow before the Indian whirlwind; this game being an easy 44 to 25 victory. Paxton was next in the wake of this quintet whirlwind, and when the final basket was sunk, the scoreboard told of another victory with pointers reading at 32 and 25. The Indians met Lodgepole next, and soon decided about the laurels of the evening by reigning with an easy tally of 41 to 15. Oshkosh was met and downed with an air of complete confidence and the boys carried home another victory which read 36 to 22. On the following Friday evening, the Big Springs five submitted themselves to a terrific bombardment when the Indians ran 43 scores through the hoop while the opponents chalked up 15. Crant was the next to succumb to defeat; the final tally being an easy and un- disputed victory to the tune of 35 to 19. The elements of good luck changed when the Indians went to Chappell. They bowed to a well earned victory by Chappell to the tune of 28 to 32. In the next game no change of luck seemed to be in store as the boys were again defeated by a four-point mar- gin in a hard-fought tussle with North Platte, that ended in a score of 30 to 34. Paxton was met the second time of the season on January 31st, and the quintet again proved themselves Hot Stuff by rounding out an easy score of 45 while Paxton laboriously toiled for 18 points. The next victory was one of the outstand- ing of the season. It took place the night the quintet drove to Sutherland and when the fray had ended, the score board registered a tally of 57 to 35 for the visitors. Keeping in stride with their past record, the Indians met Kimball on the home court and soon annexed them to their list of victories in a reading of 53 to 31. The fastest game of the season was with Imperial, when Bob Pounds sunk the ball for an individual score of 21 points of the final which read 61 to 26. Cozad was the last official game before the tournament and they too were downed in an unprecedented score of 26 to 17. In the S. P. V. A. tournament, which was held in Ogallala, the Indians defeated Grant 32 to 19; Paxton 41 to 29; and Chappell 19 to 14 to win the Tournament, an honor not held by Ogallala since the year of 1931. In the District Tournament, which was held at Holdrege, the boys lost to North Platte in a skirmish that ended in a 23 to 33 score. During the season. Bob Pounds scored a personal score of 165 points. Runner-up man was Wayne Cline and in a close third was Gordon Shafer with 1 18 points. Such a record is seldom witnessed as was that acquired by the Ogallala Indians of this season. Reserve Hoopsters The Ogallala Indian Reserve hoopsters made an all time record for the 1940-41 basketball season. Playing fourteen games, they outpointed their opponents in ten of them, thus losing only four games during the season. In the total number of points made during the season they outpointed their opponents by a margin of 390 to 296. thus giving them an aver- age of 28 points per game. Danny Saun- ders led the pace in making points with 83 to his credit. Closely following was Melvin Senzig with 76 points. Their first game was with Holyoke where they lost a 39 to 20 victory to the opponent, julesburg was next and they bowed in a fray that ended in a 36 to 16 triumph for the B’s. Paxton lost her first game with the boys to the tune of 37 to 26. and Lodgepole fell in a 39 to 13 trouncing handed out by the locals. Osh- kosh was next to be scalped in a 32 to 1 1 score; then Big Springs in a defeat to the tune of 28 to 19. Grant came to Ogallala and defeated the boys 43 to 31 ; this game being the second defeat of the season for the B’s. The next game found the B’s at Chappell where they took the laurels from that school in a skirmish ending in a 21 to 18 score. The next game for the boys was played at North Platte where they met stronger forces and were forced to succumb to the tune of 34 to 20. Again the boys met Paxton and again Paxton submitted to a defeat, the score being 26 to 16. Imperial and Sutherland were annexed in rapid suc- cession; 36 to 16 and 24 to 13 respect- ively. The Wallace first team was the last to face defeat by the hoopsters of the 1940-41 season in a 28 to 13 fray, as the last game, which was with Cozad. was lost in a final tally of 20 to 17.

Spikes and Cinders BACK ROW: DUANE ERVIN JAMES KILDARE JIMMIE HUSH DON THOMPSON COACH AMMAN FIRST ROW: RAY HARTER JOHN KILDARE JOE THALKEN GLEN GEISERT The Ogallala High School track team got under way this season with eleven reporting for training. Among the eleven reporting, two were letter-men of last season. They were Joe Thalken and Russell jackson. Other new men were: Don Thompson, jimmy Bush. John Kildare. Ray Harter. Duane Ervin. Emanuel Klein. Glen Geisert. Johnnie Walker and Jimmy Kildare. In the first meet of the season, the Oshkosh In- vitational, Joe Thalken placed second in the 440 and first in the javelin. John Kildare added to the number of points acquired when he placed third in the mile. Duane Ervin ran the half-mile for a fourth place, and Russell Jackson came in second in the high hurdles. In the pole vault. Emanuel Klein took third honors and Jimmy Bush placed third in the 880 relay. The second meet in which the boys participated was the Sidney Triangular Meet which included Sidney. Chappell and Ogallala. In this meet, ihe boys placed second as a group; individual placmgs were Joe Thalken first in the javelin and first in the 440. Joe also placed third in the discus throw. John Kildare added points for the home team by placing first in the mile and Russell Jackson came in second place in both the high and the low hurdles. Also earning a second was Jimmie Bush in the 220 and Ray Harter placed third in the javelin and a second in the shot. Other placings for the day were Duane Ervin, second in the 880, Glen Geisert, fourth in the 440. Don Thompson, fourth in the high hurdles. Russell Jackson, third in broad jump and Jimmy Bush, fourth in the broad jump. At the Sidney Invitational. Joe Thalken was the only one to place with a third in the quarter mile. The last track event of the year was the S. P V. A. In this meet, Joe Thalken placed second in the 880. Russell Jackson a fourth in the low hurdles. Jimmie Bush a fourth in the 440. Ray Harter fourth in the discus and Ray Harter again placing in the 880 relay with a third. Despite the splendid training and workout given the team by their coach, Mr. Ernest Amman, they experienced only a mediocre season as to victories. It seemed that each meet brought new and stiffer competition with which to cope and therefore the boys are quite proud of the record attained with their team. Sporting Girl Athletes THE WEAKER SEX?

Ne- braska ball, volley ball, hikes, softball, and field events constitute the yearly ac- tivities of this group. Individual sports and social activities go not unheeded. The annual play day is the outstanding occurrence each year for this group. This was held in the fall and several of the surrounding towns at- tended. The Ogallala girls attended the play days at Chappell and Sidney, and were invited to North Platte. Play Day is a means by which girls from neighboring towns have a general get to- gether and meet new personalities and make new friends. It has served as a means of developing good sportsmanship, and fostering an interest in sports. Whole hearted participation in the or- ganization's activities leads to an appre- ciation of nature and the great outdoors. RODEO-ALLALACO STAFF Left to right: Mr. Wilson, V. Woolsey, L. Reed, C.

WEEKLY AND BI-WEEKLY PUBLICATIONS The Rodeo is a weekly summaiy of the news of the school, published in the Keith County News. The contents of this is mainly class news and main events occurring around the school. Each class and organization elects its representative for the Rodeo staff. The staff meets every Monday afternoon from 3 o’clock to 3:30. The Alallago is the bi-weekly pub- lication of O. H. S. One of the main columns was the “Snoopy Snoot in which all of the choice bits of gossip and scandal about the school were featured. Another amusing column was the “Nit- in-wit“, in which the names of various students were inserted for those used in jokes and situations. Both publications were under the spon- sorship of Mr. Wilson. FUTURE STENOCS ON THE COMMER- CIAL SPEEDWAY From learning to a job is sometimes a long step, but when students are grad- uated from the commercial department they are well qualified for positions as stenographers, public accountants, or bookkeepers. They are not only quali- fied for these positions, but most of them secure positions quickly, and hold their jobs against all competition. To be a member of Business Neo- phytes. a student must have an average of a C” in all of his commercial sub- jects. At one of the earlier meetings C. J. McGinley spoke to the group pointing out just what qualifications an employer has a right to expect from his sten- ographer. An outstanding feature of an- ther meeting was the demonstration of the operation of the duplicating machine. Mhak) Y —£h afisx. Afcy -£ ■ cr AW1' o A 7 s y. -to j _, x- y C ‘ M «fj c JLa l j vU All those experienced in the field of edu- cation know that only a small percentage of high school graduates finally enter college. They also know that a vast army of young workers attempting to enter many diverse occupations, find that specific training is required before the aspiring young worker is hired. dU U- In seeking a solution to this problem. Ogallala High School introduced into its curriculum, the course termed. Trades and Industries , which enables a student to spend at least one half of his time working for the employer at a nominal wage, during which time he masters the skills and much of the technical content of the occupation, utilizing the equipment and shop facilities of the employer and relieving the school of the necessity of installing equipment in the school. The balance of the learner’s time is spent in school, two hours of which school time the learner devotes to the study of technical information directly related to and supplementing the occupation in which the youth is employed. This related instruction is taught by a competent teacher. Mr. Col- lins is representative of this position in O. H. S. We Work As We Learn Left to right: Mr. Collins. M. Jacobson. L. Harding, M.

These girls are taught the secrets of well balanced meals, and decorative table settings in the food unit. Early in the year an interesting unit was that of child care, during which time the girls made baby clothes. They then made dresses, and play suits and modeled these in a style show which they sponsored. To demonstrate their skill in the culinary art. they served a three-course dinner to the members of the school board and their wives. Chalk, Books and Blackboa rds One of the most active and remunera- tive. if honors and achievements are to be considered, of Ogallala High’s organi- zations is the Future Teachers Club. The Future Teachers are those who next year will be passing on the infor- mation which they have acquired during the past twelve years, to the youngsters who will look to them for learning and guidance. Under Miss Nielson these students are taught the rudiments and essentials of teaching. Betty Gregory fits a housecoat for Pauline Hoke as other members of the Home Economics Club watch and learn.

To watch the band march down the football field led by the vivacious baton twirlers. in their white satin uniforms trimmed with gold, and the capable drum major is a thrill not soon forgotten. Every Monday and Friday morning the band practiced with all members present. Special drill was given every Tuesday morning to the woodwind sec- tion, and every Thursday morning to the brass section. At the S. P. V. A. contest the band played His Honor” and “The Cru- saders ” Virtuosos in the Making The modern orchestra is the product of some two hundred years of improve- ment and composing. It consists today, as it did two hundred years ago. of the four principal kinds of instruments' strings, woodwind, brass, and percussion. From the orchestra is selected the clari- net trio, composed of Madeline Roe. Bob Harvey, and joanne H i I Iyer. This group received a superior rating at the contest. A similar rating was given to Bob Harvey for his clarinet solo. Rigolletto . Left to right: R. Harter. B. Vasa. P. Harvey. H. Hollingsworth, M. Ceisert, Mr. Paul Ro?. conductor. J. Rasdal. J.

Their Harmony Glides on Wings of Song Members of the Mixed Chorus are those selected from the Girls’ and Boys' Glee Clubs who can best attain accurate pitch and achieve a tone and quality that will harmonize with the entire group of forty-three. This group sings a variety of numbers, which include sacred selections, negro spirituals, and the modern secular type of song. Intensive drill on intonation, tone blend, and balance of parts was given every Tuesday and Friday mornings. From this group was selected the Madrigal group, whose songs were “She Is So Dear” and “Madrigal.” They re- ceived superior rating at the S. P. V. A contest. The two numbers of the Mixed Chorus were “Chillun Come on Home”, a fast moving negro spiritual, and Agnus Dei”, one of the sacred selections. This group also received a superior rating at the contest. Give Me Some Men— The thirty-six boys who compose the Boys' Glee Club not only have the ability to sing and harmonize well together, but also to convey the good spirit in which they sing to their audience. The Boys' Octette includes Ray Har- ter. Buzz Thalken. Paul Harvey, Bob Harvey, jack Manion, Jack Gemmeil, Norman Correll. and Danny Saunders. This group was heard this year at the Father and Sons’ banquet and at Com- mencement exercises. Members of the Boys' Quartette are Bob Harvey. Ray Harter. Paul Harvey, and jack Manion. Their amusing version of Old MacDonald's Farm” provided en- tertainment for many convocations. The Boys Glee's number was Blow Trumpets Blow”; Boys Octette's songs were All in the April Evening” and “Good News”; the Boys Quartette’s num- bers were De Gospel Train” and Drums.” Ratings for the S. P. V. A. music con- test were as follows: Bovs' Glee, excel- lent; Boys' Octette and Boys’ Quartette, superior. The d:strict music contest was held at Sidney. April 18-19. Their Sweet Rhapsody Fills The Air The Girls' Glee Club of Ogallala High is one of the most consistent high-ranking organizations in the school. Under the direction of Mr. Paul Roe this organiza- tion earned a superior rating at the S. P. V. A. contest singing the two num- bers On the Steppe and Children of the Moon . A similar rating was earned at the District contest. Resonance and the ability to blend in each of the sections and with the entire group are the outstanding features of this group. Rehearsals were held every Tues- day. Thursday, and Friday afternoons. In addition to singing in Girls’ Glee Club, girls may be selected to sing in smaller groups. Girls' Sextette. Octette, and solos offer those who are particularly skilled and interested in this type of vocal music an opportunity to work in the smaller groups.

And so Paul Harvey, jack Manion, Mary Elizabeth Sibal, Bob Carter, and Bob Harvey take their third curtain call amidst loud applause. jEANIE . . . The setting of the operetta Jeanie was the garden of Judge Rawdon's home in the Southern United States in 1855. The plot centered around Jeanie, who was on this day recalling memories of her sweetheart. Dennis Jackson. She still loved him very much, even though he had been gone for seven years, but was being deftly courted by Rodney Crawley. Den- nis’ treacherous cousin. Rodney planned to have Dennis de- clared dead because of his long absence; he would then receive the inheritance due Dennis according to his great uncle’s will. He also believed that if Jeanie thought Dennis dead her affections would alter toward him. His schemes were foiled, however, when a traveler appeared in the scene and revealed himself as the missing Den- nis Jackson. A happy ending then revealed Dennis and Jeanie together again. 9 CANTATA. . Students with an ear for music, but yet too young to sing in any of the senior groups, were given an opportunity to dis- play their talents in the Junior High Can- tata. given Dec. 22. under the sponsorship of Miss Modlin.
