There was also a flag detail whose duty it was to put up and take dawn the colors each school day. During the initial round the Rifle Team racked up a four win and one loss record. Their only loss was in the opener against Cen- tral. Dennis Pope and Bob Nielsen held the big gun: in the first round of competition, Ernest l-laffke and Wallace Kelly also did well. After the second round North and Centra' markimen were tied. ln the shoot off the Eagle marksmen nosed out North by one point, 636- 635. This was a heartbreaker for the Vikes who had been improving steadily all season. The highest score posted during the season was a l87, shot by both Dennis Pope and Wal- lace Kelley. Instructors at North this last year were Sergeants William l-l. Roberson and David L. Griesemer. Both instructors have added a lot to the battalion with their military knowledge. Climaxing the R.O.T.C. year was the an- nual Federal lnspection held April 27. After the many other events of the R.O.T.C. this event almost seems like an anticlimactic. Among these other events were the numer- ous parades, tactical movements, and above all class work. All of these things were covered by the inspection.

Miss Cowman, who has been the choir di- rector and voice instructor of North's vocal department for three years, has contributed to more interest in vocal music on the part of the students, and she has given expert instruc- tion in vocal training that has made North's choir an outstanding one in the city. The highlight of the year for the choir was their traditional Christmas program given on December i8 and l9. During the processional, Carol of the Bells, a lovely effect was cre- ated in the darkened auditorium by the blue lights held by the choir members. The jolly atmosphere of the season was exemplified by their rendition of The Nutcracker Suite. For this number, the choir stood on risers and held pine branches, lights, and decorations which formed a magnificent human Christmas tree glowing with color. Other Christmas favorites were sung by the girls' glee club and small ensembles. As a finale, they presented a res- ume of carols depicting in songs and story the Nativity Scene. 34: -f There were many other programs in which the choir participated this year both at school and city-wide. On January l5, the Omaha Music Festival was presented at the city aud- itorium by the music departments of Omaha schools. The choir's act in the Aurora on March 25-28 was an outstanding production number in the show. The last two big events were the music workshop that was held on the University of Omaha campus April l7, and the Spring Con- cert May Zl, The group also entertained at various church functions and P-T.A. meetings this year. As the climax of the year, an appro- priate program of songs was given in June at the graduation exercises for the l953 seniors. The choir is comprised of lO5 students who undertake a course of study which includes instruction in voice production, sight-reading, skills, fundamentals, and musicianship. They receive credit for their performances in school, church, and community affairs. These mem- bers are divided into the senior choir and the junior choir. From these groups, voices that blend well together are selected for small en- sembles such as mixed quartettes, girls' sex- tettes, trios, and boys' quartettes. f.v yv 1 ' J , eager, CHOIR-Back row: Dave Knouber, Lee Person, Jim Kimmel, Dick English, Frei Stille, Phyllis Luther, Pauline l-lron, Ilene Hainowski, Barbara Miller, Joyce Peck, Carol Taylor Ruth Codler, Rebecca Spears, Rita Byrnes, Barbara Story, Dorothy Johnson, Sandra Melcher, Jane Wells, Carla Richardson, Second row, Don Chase, John Peterson, Dale De Boer, Bruce Fleming, Daryl Frazell, Jo Eiyn Wakefield, Rita Miller, Nancy A isson, Donna J Qi Peters, Donna Lenz, Sandra Rohlts, Margaret Anderson, Anita McGIynn, Charlotte Gallagher, Susan Detweiler.

Two outstanding features of this group were the unusually proficient bass section and an increased tenor section, both of which would be a credit to any professional organization. The senior choir elected their officers twice during the year to take care of the finances and business connected with their perform- ances. These who served during the first se- mester were Fred Stille, president, Dick Eng- lish, vice-president, Bob Ellis, secretary, and Barbara Blake, treasurer. At the second semester election, the new office of business manager was added to aid Miss Cowman and the other officers with bus- iness details. The officers chosen were Phyllis Luther, president, Jean Rowden, vice-presi- dent, Terry Cochran, secretary, Dick English, treasurer, and Bruce Fleming, business man- ager. During the year, the group selected Don- na Komarek for their Homecoming queen can- didate, Marion Emery for the Christmas Belle, Rodney Holmes for Santa Claus, Phyllis Luther for Sweetheart, and Sam Nastase for Eligible Bachelor. The junior choir, which met Vlll hour, is organized to instruct and prepare those stu- dents who will be members of the senior choir next year. They have taken part in all the performances throughout the year and have proved themselves to be a very capable group. No election was held in this class at the be- ginning ofthe year, but the officers they chose for the second semester were Deana Alger, president, Anita McGIynn, vice-president, Bob l-lanson, secretary, Judy Grau, treasurer, and Judy Drexel, business manager. Much credit is due also to Mrs. Frieda Schroeder, who is the skillful accompanist for the choir, and who has given her time gener- ously to help soloists, small ensembles, as well as the choir, during numerous rehearsals be- fore and after school, The l953 graduates, who were members of the choir, have hung up their blue and gold robes for the last time, but they will always re- member the enioyment and valuable train- ing they received in the North High school choir. 135 I T s GIRLS' GLEE-Back row: Marlene Myers, Pat Mulligan, Norma Fredrick, Patsy Pettijohn, Ann Lemcke, Carol Kragskow, Eliza- beth Harman, Lois Summerville, Marsha Ramsey, Sandra Averill, June Meredith, Sally Morton, Claudia Trauthen.

These teenage singers obtain a valuable musical background from Miss Twila Cowman, vocal music in- Structor. Mrs. Frieda Schroeder, an able assistant to Miss Cowman, accompanies all vocal numbers given by North singers. The course given to the glee clubs teaches vocal techniques, music skills and fundamen- tals, sight reading, and gives the student a fine repertory. The vocal techniques consist of learning to perform musically with good tone quality, correct pitch, good rhythm, good diction, and to interpret songs as the com- posers intended them. The first thing done in these classes is to test voices to determine the part each student should sing. After this, daily work is begun on such things as breath control, tone projection, and certain exercises designed to improve the quality of their voices. The facial expressions and gestures stressed in these classes help the students to gain poise and self-confidence. 36, 8:5 Margaret Penner, Gayle Cathroe, Rosalee Lenz, Emilie Ohlsen, Jean Francisco, Joyce Bennett, Barbara Lieser.

Because of the large number of girls, it was necessary to divide them into two groups, junior and senior glee. Junior glee was taught fourth hour, and senior glee, for more ad- vanced singers, met sixth hour. From the ad- vanced group, the superior singers were chosen for choir. The girls' group participated in the Christ- mas Festival, December l8 and l9, and in the music concert, May 2l. Some of the outstand- ing singers attended the All-City High School Music Festival and Clinic. The girls' junior glee members elected Mar- lene Moeller, president, Virginia Griffith, vice- president, Loraine Frantz, secretary, Sally Palmer, treasurer, and Janet Quimby, busi- ness manager, for the first semester. The second semester President Kay Wolf- gram, Vice-President Sally Palmer, Secretary Judy Drexel, and Treasurer Sharon McCoy headed junior glee. ln the first semester, Gayle Martin filled the position of presidency for the senior glee.

I - , l I , l . l l Grand Island North gridders started out the i952 season with a ragged 6-O victory over Grand Island in the rain. The score gave no indication of the strength both teams were to show later in the season. Ralph Bonacci sparked the Vikes in the first half with his powerful running. ln the last six minutes North pulled their scoring punch behind the pass catching of Bob Kolb and Lyle O'Dell. Quarterback Sam Nastase threw to O'Dell for the touchdown. Ron Roggy and Dick Mangelson were standouts for the lslanders. Linemen Bob Mclntyre, Terry Coch- ran, Chuck Farguson, and Marv Nevins played good defensive ball for the North eleven. Tech North continued to dominate the Tech Trojans for the third straight year by trounc- ing them 30-O. The Vikes got down to business right away with first quarter touchdowns by Tom Carl and Guy Brackman. These two North aces continued on their scoring rampage by scoring all the points with the exception of a safety. Credit for these two points goes to North's hard charging line. Trojan Dick Mackie was the thorn in North's attack with his vicious tackling. Gerald l-lartman, Demeral Andrew, and Bob Majors were the Vike de- fensive mainstays. Creighton Prep l-ligh rated Creighton Prep was stunned by a deft Vike running attack 27-6. Tom Carl started off scoring from 27 yards out. The Bob Wheeler is engulfed by a host of Bluejay tacklcrs after picking u ar as or em n r Pr py dage N s e tounce ep. Links' McWilliams is about to go down as Brockmarfs blocking tackle proves effective. Student Managers Bruce Hamilton, Rodney Holmes, and Har- land Zwiebel help North athletes in all sports. second and third quarter featured Bob Wheel- er. Bob scatted 67 yards on a quick opening play to give North a l4-O cushion at half- time. The first time North got the ball in the third period Bob raced 65 yards to paydirt on the same play. Bob gained more than half of the yardage. Spunky Bob Majors crept over with seconds left for the late Vike tally. A pass play gave Prep their only T. D. Sam Nastase, Chuck Farguson, and Gerald Hart- man sparkled for North. Thomas Jefferson The fourth game for North was a repetition of their tremendous scoring punch. Thomas Jefferson was the victim by a 25-7 margin. As usual North started early with Bob Wheeler racing 23 yards in the first period for a score. Tom Carl tallied twice in the second quarter to give the Vikes a comfortable l9-O lead at halftime, Dick Williams galloped five yards for the only Tee Jay touchdown. Sam Nastase bootlegged three times in succession for 59 yards andthe Northsiders' last score. Defen- sive specials were Bob Majors, Bob Mclntyre, Ralph Bonacci, and Fred Moyer. Bonacci snags pass for big gain in Benson contest. Lincoln Central The Lincoln Central game decided the state championship, The Links outscored the Vikes l3-6, but were outplayed throughout the game. Mac McWilliams, Lincoln's hard smashing fullback, plunged one yard in the second quarter to open the scoring. With two minutes left Ted King ran 88 yards unmolest- ed to give the Links a l3-O halftime lead. On the first play of the second half Bob Wheeler sprinted 60 yards for the Vikings, making the score l3-6. The Norsemen played excellent football the rest of the way, but lost their tieing opportunities due to penalties. Chuck Farguson and Marv Nevins played superlative defense for North. Benson The Vikes opened up on the Bunnies, scor- ing a decisive 28-l3 victory. Guy Brackman made the initial North score, Then Benson in their biggest bright spot, took the succeeding kickoff 85 yards for a score. Tom Carl gave the Vikes an intermission score of l3-6 with a smash over tackle. Brackman again scored on a pass play. Ralph Bonacci ripped the Bunnie defense for the final Vike score. Carl had a hand in all the Viking extra points with his kicking and passing. Bob Mclntyre was a standout on the Vike forward wall. Central Scoring almost at will, North socked the Central Eagles 41-26. Although the Eagles scored more against the Vikes than any other team, the Norsemen were in command at all tim23, Fleetfooted Guy Brackman took off on the third p'ay of the game and galloped 77 yards to paydirt. Rambling Ralph Bonacci scored on three occasions during the evening, twce on running plays and once by snatching a Sam Nastase pass, Tom Carl and Lyle O'Dell also tallied on running and pass plays respectively. The Vikes fumbled frequently to add to Central's opportunities. Scatback Jerry Bartley was the only flash in the pan for the Eagles. l-le scored three times. All North play- ers saw action during the fray. South Battling South for the lntercity title, North came through ZO-7. After a scoreless first half which left fans wondering, the Vikes tallied late in the third period. Tom Carl went over after a determined North march. ln the last frame Ralph Bonacci, up to his familiar tricks, intercepted a South blocked kick and went lO yards for a TD. Bonacci then passed to Carl for the Viking's last score. Jan Philby, in the closing seconds, ran 78 yards with an inter- cepted pigskin for the lone Packer tally. Don Brown and Dave Koile were the constant South threats. Dick Grau, Bob Maiors, and Terry Cochran played a stellar game for the Vikes.
