Mother calling up the stairs, Hurry now and get down to breakfast, or you'll be late to school? Good-bye, long morning naps, farewell swimming hole, fishing rod, and porch swing, so long, idle, care-free days. Vacation becomes a memory, and school a reality. Now the hours are filled with routine and the head crammed with learning. Registration day! See that seventh grader who is so thrilled to be attending school at the North Building. There comes a country Fresh- man approaching with fear and trembling, and a town Freshman with a certain importance that is not entirely untinged with green. Now follows a Sophomore with the swagger of the man who knows the ropesv-he may learn there are two or three he hasn't discovered yet. Next a couple of Juniors enter with the determination to argue their way into a course that will offer the path of least resistance to their brilliant minds. Then a group of Seniors stroll in, confident that they will soon be winning a prominent place in Ord High School's Hall of Fame. Registration over! Courses lined up! The old students linger to chat with Mr. Bell and Mr. Cassg the new students meet them for the first time and go away agreeing that superintendents and principals are quite human after all. But what of the teachers? The first day arrives and every one's curiosity is satisfied. Old teachers are welcomed back and the new ones are soon made to feel at home. Students form opinionsg teachers do, too. Teachers struggle to match new names and faces while the pupils explore new texts and start decorating note book covers. Poor faculty! Another nine months of turning raw material into finished products! XVilhu1' D. Cass, Principal Billiard lv. IZ:-ll, Superintvnileni A. B., Nebraska YVesleyan: X B.. Peru: M, A.

Each one takes a chair next to his best friend, only to find that by the end of the week the teachers have spotted the chums and have arranged a very decided fruit basket upset seating plan. Courses are changed, and then changed again until some dignified but very confused Senior walks into a Freshman English class to take American History. Finally, however, everything straightens out and the schedule is just beginning to run smoothly when the auto races are upon us. Two precious afternoons of vacation! Did I say two? Well maybe three for some. Back to full time school schedule again and attention turns to the extra-curricular activities. Half the Freshman boys turn out to show the Seniors how football really is played and practically every girl in high school signs up for Glee Club. lt's surprising what ambition we all have. A contracts look easy, just the sort of thing we can take in our seven-league strides. fThat's what we think at the beginning of the six- week period.J The classes start organizing early in the term and among other officers select their representatives to the Student Advisory Council. Four Seniors, three Juniors. two Sophomores, and one Freshman com- pose this body which helps tlie faculty in making and managing school policies. It sits in judgement on such questions as class day rules, hall conduct, and making the annual an all-school undertaking. The Coun- cills duties grow heavier as the year progresses and the lockers start spilling out their accumulation of papers every time the doors are open- ed. Then comes occasional announcements reading, t'Locker clean-up and inspection today. What efticient inspectors those Council mem- bers make-and they are becoming quite professional at managing the fish pond at the school carnivals. Sponsor, Mr. Cass: Seniors. I.: . I Lk..

Oh, No! They've been heard from all along. Just look around you and see how many members of the class are taking a prominent part in the musical organi- zations, clubs, athletics, and other school activities-and to atttain such places they had to start in and work their way up from the time they were Freshies. The Juniors boast that they can furnish someone to fill any position in the school that calls for leadership or talent. Is it an artist you want? Therels Jack Janssen. Perhaps you are in need of soloists. Inquire about Laverne Lakin, Dean Barta, or Edward Puncochar. Or is it a husky football player you're looking for? Well, there's Haskell, Clark, and Stone wearing letters. Are you in need of a stage hand and carpenter? You couldn't find a better one than La Vern Duemey. Some drummers and a drill major to keep you in step? The Kuseks and Virginia Klein. Debaters? The Juniors can furnish you with a couple of teams. How about a cheer leader? There's Harold and Wilma, take your pick. Some budding actors and actresses? Just look over the cast for The Importance of Being Ernest. And don't think the Juniors aren't strong on the study side of school life. They produce outstanding students in everything from vocational agriculture to typing and shorthand. Way back when they were Freshmen, the Juniors started doing things in a social way by entertaining themselves with a miscellaneous game party. During their Sophomore year they had two parties and a couple of picnics, but now that they are Juniors they deny themselves the pleasure of even one party that they may have ample funds in their treasury to banquet the Seniors in royal style. Of course, the Juniors honor the Seniors, and some of them may even love some of the Seniors, strange as it may seem, but their self-denial in the matter of class socials is not entirely unselfish. They mustn't disgrace themselves by giving to the Senior class a less impressive banquet than this same class gave when they were Juniors-and banquets cost money. The Junior-Senior banquet and the Junior play are the two high spots of the year. Speaking of plays--will you ever forget how eagerly the Jimiors crowded around the bulletin board to see the results of try- outs? What exclamationsl What breathless oh's and ah's were heard when this notice appeared: Cast for the Junior Play, The Importance of Being Ernest.

The Sophomores have learned most of the ropes and are free from the embarrassments which beset the Freshmen, but thev have not vet taken on the airs of Juniors nor the cares of Seniors. They don't have to act dignified nor sophisticated unless they Want to, and they can still do childish things without being associated with a certain objection- able color. They are a care-free bunch, that is, most of them areg but some of them have been pondering over a certain weighty question as they puzzle through the labyrinth of foreign language, geometry, compound sen- tences, and World History. This is their question-perhaps you can help them solve it. The more you study, the more you knowg The more you know, the more you forgetg The more you forget, the less you know- So why study? The less you study, the less you know,' The less you know, the less you forgetj The less you forget, the more you know- So why study? Please don't get the idea they have stopped studying until the problem is solved. They are practical as well as logical and keep in g e Cganficfyssfz mind the failing lists, eligibility lists, seventh-periods and report cards. Why, even Dale and Vernon can wax most industrious upon occasion. The Sopohmore class boasts only fifty-eight members, but at that, thereis more of them than of the Seniors, and just wait until the two- year high schools over the country send in their quota of Juniors to swell the class membership next year. But they are not waiting for next year, the Sophomores are making history this year, especially in the athletic and music departments. Six of them lettered in football and three in basketball. The girls of the class are also athletically in- clined, several of them belonging to G. A. A. Mr. Duncan appreciates the help the Sophomores give him for he has eight of them in Senior Band and nine in Senior Orchestra, besides hav- ing several in the glee clubs. Some of them have even risen to the ranks of contest soloists. Oh, by the way, do you recall the vocal solos with which Virginia Sack sometimes entertains the student body and her Home Room? She has a way of making popular music really popular. We don't know what gave the class the idea for the Sophomore Class Day convocation, unless it is the fact that their teachers frequently be- come provoked with them and hint that they act like babies-any way, they entertained with a capital baby show. True, the baby's legs were a little long, and the springs of the carriage must have suffered from excess weight. Wasn't Homer a darling, but who could have blamed Dr. Tunnicliff if he had spanked one or two of the others? We don't know who the guilty party is, but there must be a Scotch- man on the social committee. Why the class not only had a Dutch treat theatre party, but also managed to see a double feature.

It has the distinction of being the biggest class in the history of Ord High School. It started with a registration of ninety- seven, but after the usual losses and gains of a term, approaches the close of school with an enrollment of ninety-four. Perhaps these figures an- swer the questions as to Why one invariably bumps into a Freshman, no matter which way he turns. There's so many of them you see, and they do make their presence felt as well as seen. Because of their large numbers and unusual talents this Freshman class has not been looked down upon by the upper classmen in the con- descending manner in which Freshies are sometimes viewed. Not many high school boys letter in football by the end of their first year, but Dick did-and the many Freshman huskies who turned out for football prac- tice promise to furnish the school with a championship team for the next three years to come. A Freshman Won three of the sub-district declam- atory contest sweep-stake points for Ord with her humorous reading. Vera and Mildred contributed much to the success of the Christmas play, Why the Chimes Ring . Look over the band, orchestra, and glee clubs and count the Freshmen you'll find there. Who forced Mr. Cass to fight for the ping-pong championship but a Freshie, and who won the honor of being Carnival King, but another Freshie? in Ugczlzficfsst Speaking of the carnival, we have the Freshmen to thank for stir- ring up much of the student enthusiasm that advertised the event. Their posters and the public crowning of their candidates started the other classes to boosting their Kings and Queens. This class also takes the lead in the matter of class parties. The Seniors wait till commencement season to start doing things g the Juniors frugally save their pennies to put on the nicest banquet in ban- quet historyg the Sophomores let the movie stars entertain themg but the Freshmen hop into their own planes for a flight to Partyland. Such a night as they chose for their flight--the temperature hovering near thirty below, and a furious wind drifting the blinding snow. In spite of the protests of their elders, more than half of the class turned out. All is snug and warm in the auditorium, the ceiling is bright with balloons and planesg crepe paper helmets lend atmosphere, progressive games and program numbers keep hands and minds occupied. t'What matter how the night wind raves? The Freshmen are last, but not least in the matter of Class Day con- vocations. A huge book opens on the stage and as the pages are turned the outstanding events of the Freshman year are entertainingly review- ed. What does the future hold for this class? What honors will it bring to its school? What names will the individuals win for themselves? Per- haps a future governor of Nebraska noav sits in algebra class trying to figure out what X equals, or a second Babe Ruth rolls spit-balls in the study hall.

The Eighth Graders try to appear quite nonchalant the first day to impress the newcomers, but in spite of outward appear- ances are really very proud to think that only one short nine-month term stands between them d Senior High School. Yes, they really are al- ready in high school, l A the students often forget that ours is a six-year high school and the feeling persists that there is a great gulf fixed be- tween the eighth and ninth grades. However, the Junior High folks go quietly about showing the Senior High people how useful they are in the scheme of things as they are, as well as necessary to the scheme of things as they will be. Consider what they contribute to the music of the school. Fifteen of them are found in the Senior Band and six in the Senior Orchestra, thirteen in the Junior Band and six in Junior Orchestra. They also provide a pianist to accompany the soloists in contest work. As to their part in public performances-don't you remember the pyramid building and tumbling stunts the gymnasium classes demon- strated at the basketball games? Surely you remember their contri- bution to the Christmas program, the play, The Lost Merry Christmas, and their convocation program, a variety show in which they featured a band, a skit, and several musical numbers. And don't forget the trim, white-clad messengers who went about the halls crying above the carni- val din, Te1egram! Paging Paul Blessing! They were Junior High Cyganfiafeez ecfelzfg grads boys having the time of their life. Not yet completely drawn into the whirlpool of school activity the Seventh and Eighth Graders turn to their class work for recreation as well as profit. David and Allen have great fun constructing the Thimble Theatre and drawing the films which appear on its screen. Letter writing is interesting when one really sends the letters he writes and receives beautifully illustrated travel folders in return. Civics isn't at all confusing if the class organizes a model town and carries out all the functions of government from incorporating to amending ordi- nances. Projects and booklets furnish an excellent excuse for browsing through magazines, and spelling reviews call for a game of baseball with words. Literature means reading, and reading is food and drink to some of those Seventh Graders who have reading lists a Senior might envy. No, school isn't all fun. Sometimes the answers to the problems just won't come right, the history lesson is dull, or the geography as- signment long. What's the use of grammar anyway? What's the dif- ference if I say I or Me ? Now vocations is a sensible subject. It makes a lot of difference whether a fellow is going to be an engineer or a doctor. Gym classes? They are more play than work. Three cheers for gym classes! The Juniors have their social times, too-picnics in the spring and fall, a lunch together at noon, a Home Room party. Perhaps their good times seem simple to the more sophisticated upper classmen, but the Juniors donit care. They are enjoying life immensely, and that is all that matters.

The first game of the season, played on Scotia's field, results in a score of 25-0 in Ord's favor. October 4-The first home game. The Chanticleers on parade un- der lights. They musn't fail-and they don't. St. Paul goes home smarting from a 19-0 defeat. October 11-Can the Chanticleers keep up the record they have set? Yes, though Broken Bow is a hardier opponent than the others have been. The Indians fight nobly on their own hunting ground, but are unable to score against the Ordites who emerge with a seven point score. October 18-Now comes Burwell to show the other Loup Valley teams how to put the undefeated Chanticleers to shame, only to see an- other 25-0 score chalked up in Ord's favor. The fourth game and still not scored against. The student body and the Ord football fans, to say nothing of the players and coaches, leave Bussell Park in high spirits with visions of the Loup Valley Championship. November 1-Ravenna! On Ravenna's own field. Ord with a clean slate, undefeated, untied, and still not scored against. Can the slate be kept clean? No, not quite, for at the end of a close and hard-fought game the Ord men have a 6-6 tie marked across their record. But it's still a splendid record. November 15-The most exciting game of the season. Well-matched teams, and a 0-0 score. What a game! But Arcadia, you didn't score against us, even if you did hold us. We aren't defeated yet. November 22-Now it's Sargent we have to meet. Well, that won't be such a hard game, but hard enough to hold the enthusiastic fans who now turn out in good numbers to see the home games. A score of 12-0 in Ord favor. The Loup Valley Championship looms closer. November 28-The annual Ord-Loup City Thanksgiving game, but more than the annual classic-the game that determines the Champion- ship. Ord enters With the determination to win or tie-and ties, the game ending in a 0-0 dealock. Hurrah! Three Cheers! The Champ- ionship is ours.

The band practices for days getting into its best marching formation, cheer leaders coach the Freshies for entrance into the All-Student Root- ers Clubg Hi-Y boys and Girl Reserves order eatsg blankets are pulled out of moth ballsg and the classes start off with a round of cheers. Ticket takers and policemen are on the job early, too early for some small boys, who are searching for the narrowest point in Dane Creek. Next on the scene are the hog-dog and candy salesmen hustling about to get their stands ready. Soon the band members in their snappy red and white uniforms come stepping across the footbridge. No, they won't mind the cold for those uniforms cover layers of warm underclothing. Now the crowd starts coming across the bridge and through the auto drive. Soon the Ord fans are located on the bleachers and the visitors lined up on the opposite side. The electricians tinker with the lightsj Bud bustles here and there, ever important and watchfulg Wilma, Charlotte, and Harold take their stand in front of the cheering section. The kick-off! The fight is on! The rooters rush first to one end of the field and then to the other, offering expert advice. Tense moments! Cheers! Groans! Now and then time-out gives the spectator a chance to realize his feet are numb. He stamps about a bit, or huddles closer in his blanket and gets ready to 'fhold that line. The half is over and the score is six to nothing in Ord's favor. Let's have a hot-dog and a cup of coffee. No, we can't go now for the band is coming on the field. Such a band! Snap and pep itself, from the director to the uniforms. We mustn't miss it. Now for that hot-dog! All gone? Well, a candy bar will do. Settled just in time. What a game! Ord scored against? No, that can't be! Yes? Never mind! We'll soon break that tie. . Say, are those my feet or cakes of ice? Who cares? Ord must get another touchdown! How much more time? Oh ------ see him go! Boy, a touchdown! A touchdown! Another good game over. Now the grand rush for the footbridge and the parketl cars. infgz K. y ' 1155 -2 , 11-'gli , , PQ., 2, 55 li.

First basketball practice of the season. Ping-pong runs close rival to perpetual motion. Red and White Banquet. We find the football stars can make toasts as well as touchdowns. The debate teams go to St. Paul and persuade all the teams there, except Grand Island's, that State Medicine , is the thing. Girl Reserves revert back to childhood and trim a Xmas tree. Ord demonstrates new basketball rules for Loup Valley visitors. The biggest drawing attraction of the school year-the annual Christmas program. The first day of winter, but who cares about that? It's the first day of Christmas vacation that matters. JANUARY Best wishes for a successful Leap Year! 37 to 19 in St. Paul's favor. Too bad Ord! But you can't keep a good team down. Ord 28, Sargent 24. The Chanticleers are coming right up! The Juniors get in a bunch of 'famateursn to put on their class day program for them. Pop-Eye must have had an extra helping of spinach. He made quite a hit. Sophomore class surely has a fine bunch of babies-but you wouldn't think they would admit it publicly. Doubled the score on Scotia. Must have been the effect of that popular music we enjoyed in convocation. You know- The Music Goes Round and Round? Yes, another game. This is basketball season, in case you haven't heard. Kearney, we did hate to lose that game, but we made you work to win it. A new semester. Here's where I turn over a new leaf. Oh, heck, they're stuck together! Junior High convocation. No babies nor amateurs either. There is real talent in that bunch. This time Ravenna was the loser-the score, 35 to 15. FEBRUARY That Heart Sister of mine keeps me running all over this build- ing, but I don't mind. Arcadia, maybe you can hold us in football, but you surely can't in basketball. Chanticleers brave worst storm of the year to keep an appoint- ment with the Broncos at Hastings, only to be snowed under 41 to 10. Freshmen laugh at the elements from the snug pro- tection of their airport. Broken Bow breaks Ord's spirits-but not beyond repair. Who wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin ? It pays to know. Confetti, horns, telegrams, pop, puppets, fortunes, King and Queen of Hearts! Guess what! Such a mess! The morning after the evening before. Mr. Cass stars in ping-pong. He should beat a Freshie. Doctor in Spite of Himself? Thank you, Sterling players, for the entertainment. St. Paul, Loup Valley Tourney Cham- pions in spite of Ord. Thanks, boys, for the free-throw trophy. The Sophomores must be Scotch. They see a double feature. L36 e Uflarzfiafaez e a e 368 QQZQLCZZS Why are all these students lined up by that door? , asks a stranger who has just entered the building. Oh, this is the day The Oracle, our school weekly, comes off the mirneograph. The papers are distributed from the book room and there is always a rush at dismissal to see who will be first to get his copy. And why shouldn't there be a rush? The Ord High Oracle is as necessary to our school life as the Delphian Oracle was to the ancient Greeks. The classic warriors consulted their Oracle to determine whether the gods would smile or frown upon certain undertakings, but our Oracle is broader in its scope. It not only casts a shadow of coming events, but also preserves the substance of those that are past. The Delphian priestess gave her prophesies in such an obscure and ambig- uous manner that many interpretations were possible. There is noth- ing doubtful about the items in our Oracle. The reporters get things straight and report them in the same manner, If it isn't in the Oracle, it hasn't happened and isn't going to happen: if it is in the Oracle the last word is said. This paper under the efficient sponsorship of Miss Slote and with the indispensable aid of Clara, appears again this year in mimeographed form after having been run in the Ord Quiz last year as a school section of that paper. This year's first issue appeared September 25th. A call was issued early in September for those interested in newspaper work to contribute their time and talent to the school sheet. In November definite departmental assignments were made while Laverne Hansen and Eva Umstead shared the editorial responsibility. Eva finally became chief editor but resigned the position to take up her duties as editor of the annual. Laverne Lakin then took over the job, proving himself an industrious and efficient newspaper man.

To transact such business as may come before us, to strengthen the ties of friendship that bind us together, and to make the Ord Hi-Y Club, and ourselves as individuals, of greater service to our school and com- munity. i'Fellow members, what is our purpose? To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com- munity, high standards of Christian character. Clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. Every other Monday evening a group of our high school young fel- lows can be found assembled in the music room opening a business meeting and program with the above ritual. Not always are they so serious, though they do strive to carry their purpose and platform over into all their activities from programs to feeds. In the years to come as some old grad turns the leaves of his 1936 Annual he will chance upon this page and renew the acquaintance of his old Hi-Y pals. As he studies the faces he starts musing and to his mind comes memories of the big St. Paul football rallyg football pro- gramsg the membership drive and chili feedg dispensing hot-dogs and coffee at the football gamesg the Hi-Y district meeting and banquet at St. Paulg the Older Boys, Conference at Yorkg initiation and another chili feedg the pop stand at the Carnivalg Hi-Y pep bandg and the ping- pong tournament.

The mere mention of high spots in this year's activities is sufficient to recall pleasant memories and set in motion a whole train of delightful recollections. Among the memorable events of the year are: the con- vocation playlet Follow the Gleam , the treasure-hunt for a box of lollypops, chrysanthemum tea, the fall Candle-Light service in which thirty-five members are taken in, hot-dog stands at the football games, decorating the Christmas tree, New Year's resolutions meeting, the bingo stand at the Carnivalg Heart Sister week, a St. Patrick's Day party, joint Hi-Y-G.

No, they merely remark, Those G.A.A. girls must be having an exciting game tonightf' for they recognize the cry as just a girl's way of expressing enthusiasm or disappointment over a hard-fought contest.

No, we haven't kissed the Blarney Stone for G.A.A. girls do personify the benefits of regular exercise and good health habits. Soccer, volley ball, baseball, basketball, and speed ball bring into play every muscle in a girl's body and send the red blood coursing through her veins, team and class tournaments test disposition, mind, and eye, training rules and awards impress correct health habits. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening finds these girls at their play, outside in the spring and fall when the weather is fine, inside when the weather is bad. G.A.A. members are not allowed to participate in inter-school games, but they are encouraged through the Loup Valley Play Days to mingle with other girls in informal play. Two Play Days are held each year, eleven Loup Valley schools participating. The afternoon is spent'in play and before the girls start home they enjoy a social hour and lunch together. The ride home in the bus is just as much fun as the trip there. Chatter, songs, and good-natured banter make the time pass quickly and it's 'fhome again before one realizes it. -- Uganficfaam KM imtsfz Events RED AND WHITE BANQUET The first of the winter events is the Red and White Banquet, Decem- ber 4, sponsored by Miss Crouch and the Cheer Leaders in honor of the Loup Valley Championship football team. The banqueters haven't a chance to forget the purpose of the occasion for footballs grace the cen- ters of the tables while pairs of white candles and red crepe paper form miniature goal posts. The band plays pep music during the meal, be- tween courses Dorothy Auble, Ruth Auble, and Mary Beranek play tap- dance football, an Virginia Sack sings a football solo. Evelyne Loft as toastmaster introduces the speakers who play an imaginary game of foot- ball from kick-off to touch-down. Those who pass words, rather than balls are Coach Brockman, Assistant Coach Cowel, John Misko, Jess Kovanda, Dean Marks, and Dale Melia. Ruth Koupal and Dr. Blessing. ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PROGRAM From Thanksgiving until Christmas strains of Christmas carols can be heard throughout the building as the musical organizations rehearse for their part in the all-school Christmas program. When the night of December 19 arrives the girls' glee club is found seated on built-up seats in the front of the auditorium while the boys' club is seated on a sec- tion of the bleachers to make room for the capacity crowd which always comes out for this occasion. After the playlet, i'The Lost Merry Christ- masf produced by the Junior High Students, the glee clubs present their part of the entertainment. The impressive and colorful play, Why the Chimes Rang, based on the beautiful old legend climaxes the program. The main characters of the play were Mildred Waldman, Vera Severns, Paul Carlsen, Barbara Dale, Ronald Rose, and Armona Beth Achen. CARNIVAL Ever since the carnival of 1934 the question has been asked and re- asked, Can't we have another carnival? At last the answer is yes, we need money to finance the annual, and the date is set for February 14. Word spreads throughout the school and the frolic begins advertising itself. Classes get busy and nominate their candidates for King and Queen of the Carnivalg the committee makes plans and orders suppliesg students save pen- ' nies and talk carnival. Everything but the weather promises a highly successful activity. The fourteenth is a day of feverish activ- ity. By five-thirty the Carnival Company has moved in and Dull Care has moved out. Bed- lam breaks loose, carnival band, noise makers. and hawkers all competing for attention. Amateurs perform, puppets come to life, as- piring young athletes wrestle, staid business men try their hands at games of skill. When one sees his favorite King or Queen lagging behind, he puts his hand in his pocket, brings out a quarter and buys another half-dozen tickets. At eleven all gather in the auditor- ium to see Allen Zikmund and Evelyn Kokes crowned King and Queen of the carnival. Midnight finds cluttered halls and con- fetti strewn floors-but there is one hundred ninety-five dollars in the cash till. 36 1271 79 S- Duc!

The season is welcomed by both students and towns people. One or two home games every Week for several weeks. What fun! The Ord students pack the east section of bleacher seats while the visitors and home fans fill the west section. The band arranges it- self on the stage, Wilma, Harold, and Charlotte find handy front seats in the cheering sectiong officials get settled at their tables, the handsome score board is put in order-and we are ready for an evening of thrills and excitement. No, the stage isn't quite set, for the picture isn't com- plete until the Girl Reserve-Hi-Y candy table is placed in its position by the door. What will the preliminary be? A Junior High game, a second team game, or both? One gets his money's worth when he goes to an Ord game for he always sees two matches, and often three. And the be- tween-halves demonstrations, alone, are worth the price of admission. The boys' and girls' gym classes from Grade School to High School take their turns in entertaining with folk dancing, pyramid buildings, tumb- ling stunts, and volley ball. The teams hardly have time to get off the floor before the gym folks are on it with their mats, nets, or other equip- ment. The spectators cheer, laugh, exclaim, even gasp, but always ap- preciate the evidence of the fine work that is being done as a regular part of our physical education program. The band, here as in football, plays an important part. Sometimes only a part of the band is represented, occasionally the Hi-Y band fur- nishes the music, but when the game is a very special one the whole band is out in full uniform supporting and supplementing the cheering sec- tion. The l935 graduating class took several of Ord's championship fel- lows and the veterans of last season, Clark, Tunnicliff, Adamek, Marks, and Blessing, along with less experienced men, worked hard to follow in the footsteps of the 1935 Loup Valley Champions. Although St. Paul e Cwanficfsal won the coveted honor and trophy for the 1936 season, the Chanticleers made a splendid record. In the regular schedule of games Ord suffered defeat at the hands of only two of the neighboring towns, St. Paul and Bow. It was hardly expected that we could win from Hastings and Kearney, and although Hastings found us easy, the Kearney game was close and well fought. The Chanticleers lost the Loup Valley Champion- ship to St. Paul by only three points, but lost to Lexington in the Class A tournament at North Platte by sixteen points. A mere glance at the following 1936 basketball schedule shows that there is more than one way of spelling Champions , ORD HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Date tml Score Umummewit S4 url- lilnrm' December l5 51 Hui-we-ll 12 H141 December 20 25 E1-ivson 5' 11:11 January I! lil Sl.

The boys start out as members of a color league team and as they improve in skill are promoted to the Junior High squad. This year the Junior squad was composed of fifteen boys with Clifford Barnes as captain. During the football season the fellows go out for six-man football, not only learning the fundamentals of the game, but also getting some actual rough and tumble practice through inter-team and inter-school games.

Any pupil, down to and including the sixth grade, who has ambition and some talent. Beginning students, of either Junior or Senior High School grade, are given personal instruction for the first few Weeks and then placed in one of several small groups. Each of these groups meets once per week for an hour of class instruction. When the pupil shows sufii- cient improvement he is placed in the Junior Band or Orchestra. As he becomes proficient in rhythm, pitch, and technique the pupil is pro- moted to one of the Senior organizations. This year nearly one hundred and twenty-five students have taken advantage of group instruction and the success of the plan is demonstrated by the excellence of our band and orchestra. fbzitzunzarzfufiorz o - Qxzcfiastztz Myrtle Cornell, Violin Lorraine Kusek, violin Viola Puncochar, violin Margie .lean Smith. violin Betty Smith. violin hdward Puncochar, violin liinil lirikar, violin I.:tve1nu Lakin, trombone lmr-nliy Auble. 4-ello Kenneth llglelioff. trombone Josephine ltinnans, string' bass Ilutli Auble, bass Virp:inia Clark, string bass l-lilwin llitrhman, trumpet .Ii-:Annette i'li-ments. flute Lloyd Sark. trumpet Barbara Dale, flute ilaroltl Jirali. trumpet Norma Mae Snell. alto 1-larinvt Alilclreml Smith, French horn Jack Petty, violin Marilyn Dale, violin Eleanore VVolfe violin Mae Klein, violin Virginia Davis. violin lillsie X'Viberg, violin Opal Miller, violin Simon Dantezak, violin H wry Ali-Beth, oboe Hwrlan Wyriclt. saxziphone Hi-1:-n Work. saxaphone X'irg.:'inia Sack, French horn lilualn-ne lluncm-har. clarinet I+-onnrrl Salton, clarinet llayinmnl Ihlugosh. saxapliunt- Lillian liarty. clarinet .Xppgt-liiw Warhtrlv, bnssfmn .lf-v Vaprnn, bass saxapliono llnth Haas tympani Lillian Kusvlt. bass drum Hiila Knupal, haritmic lmvid Milliken, snare drum 36 I 33 Q CD14 046 Director Dean S.

The privilege isn't too hard to earn, but hard enough to make it a real honor and to set a high standard of excellence for the glee clubs. During the first semester all boys who are interested are admitted to the boys' club, but only thirty-five or six of the most talented and industrious are retained for the second semester pubic performances and contest work. There are two girls' clubs, Reserve and Senior. All beginners join the Reserve Club and as its members show talent, improvement, and good attitude they are promoted to the Senior Club which appears in contests and public recitals.

Why all the activity? New choir robes for the glee clubs and they must be ready for the Loup Valley Music Festival. The Annual Music Festival has become one of the most popular events in the Valley, and Ord feels honored to play host. The affair brings some five hundred visitors to town and gives the students training in public appear- ance. As soon as the Festival is over plans get under way for the District Music Contest. This year Ord entered at Albion and earned a total of fifty-five points out of a possible sixty-two. Five of Ordis thirteen entries were classified excellent, and eight, superior. The groups contesting were band, orchestra, glee clubs, and a reed quartet composed of Eugene Puncochar, Opal Miller, Leonard Sobon, and Dorothy Auble. Instrumental soloists were Jeannette Clements, Ruth Auble, Wilma Severns, Eugene Puncochar, Ed- warg Puncochar, and Dick Koupalg vocal soloists were Dorothy Auble and Reuben Coo . Ord's success in the District stimulated interest in the State Contest and instead of taking a vacation from their practicing our young musicians continued to work over-time, first, to prepare for a benefit recital, and second, to make a favorable ap- pearance at the State Contest where the band, orchestra, girl's glee club, and several soloists were entered. To the tooting of horns and scraping of violins is added the clatter of typewriters as the commercial students devote hours to working up the speed necessary to win a first place in the approaching commercial contest. March and April are busy months in our school for contest is in the air, music, dramatic, commercial, and agriculture. This year the District Commercial contest was held at Kearney. Ord entered teams in bookkeeping, novice typewriting, championship typewriting, novice short- hand, and spelling. The contestants earned four awards out of a possible seven by placing three individual firsts, three team firsts, and several seconds, thirds, fourths, and fifths in the six contest events. The people who won the commercial honors for the school were Lorraine Kusek, Lillian Kusek, Lillian Nevrivy, Erma Novotny, Maxine Jones, Louise Petska, Kenneth Eglehoff, Virginia DeHart, Ruth Haught, and Eva Umstead. Individual firsts were taken by Lorraine Kusek in bookkeeping, Kenneth Eglehoff in championship typing, and Lillian Kusek in spelling. Teams placed first in bookkeeping, championship type- writing, and spelling. On April 24 a team of seven contestants made a second trip to Kearney to enter the State Commercial contest where they placed fourth among forty-eight qualify- ing schools. An impressive number of victories has been chalked up by the Ord Vocational Agriculture Department during the past several years. A summary published by the North Platte Station shows that Ord has won thirty-two first places since the contests were begun in 1929. This is twice the number received by the nearest competitor. Our trophy case was made the richer this spring by two cups brought back from North Platte by Ord for the third and last time. The crop judging team composed of Kenneth Koelling, Wilbur Fuss, and Harlan Wyrick took the crop judging event for the third time, entitling us to keep the trophy. Another trio composed of Koell- ing, Fuss, and Robert Jacobs won the dairy products cup for the third time. In stock judging Ord boys took two thirds, a fourth, and a fifth. Dodge and Koelling did outstanding work in this division. Koelling also placed first in dairy products. Wyrick took a first in poultry judging, and Dale Melia placed second in the speech contest. The success of these boys in contest speaks well for the Vocational Agriculture De- partment, and if Valley County does not have her share of efficient young farmers it will not be the fault of Mr. Kovanda. To supplement the regular work of the course a local F.F.A. club has been organiz- ed and affiliated with the National Organization of Future Farmers of America. I35 79 LOU! H61 Ru 'minutiae Ord High School auditorium, March 18th, 10:45 P. M.-a tense audience, expectant, fearful--a provokingly deliberate judge. At the close of a long day of readings, orations, and plays the schools entered in the Sub-District Declamatory Contest await the decision concerning the humorous and dramatic readings. Placings had been announced at the close of the morning and afternoon sessions, and now, the winner of sweepstakes is to be proclaimed. Taylor and Sargent tie for thirdg Bur- well, second, Ord, first. Applause, exclamations, congratulations! Who won that honor for Ord? Credit goes to: Evelyne Loft, who took first in the dramatic section with a cutting from 'fSmilin Through , Richard Burrows, who placed first in the extemporaneous divisiong Bar- bara Dale, who took a second with her original orationg and Mae Klein, who claimed another second with her humorous reading, Little Red Rid- ing Hood . Two more trophies for our case-for Ord not only took sweepstakes but also placed first in the one-act play contest with the drama Cloey in which Ruth Koupal plays the part of a domineering aunt, Barbara Dale, the niece whom she domineersg Kenneth Eglehoff, a would-be poet who loves the niece but must marry the auntg and Evelyne Loft, a lively young neighbor girl. This cast's successful presentation in the Sub-District entitled it to go to the District contest at Ansley where it placed second. Miss Servine then entered the play in the State contest at Lincoln where it failed to place, but made a creditable showing. Besides her successful work with plays and dramatics, Miss Servine has revived the school's interest in debate. Not for many years has Ord had a debate team, but this year several of the students in the speech classes became inteested in the question of State Medicine . Their first public appearance as debaters was before a small local audience and their next at a debate tournament in St. Paul. At this tourney Ord teams engaged in six debates and won favorable decisions in four At another time they spent an afternoon at Arcadia in a fiendly bout with Arcadia debaters. Considering the fact that none of them had ever taken part in, or even heard a debate, Barbara Dale, Lillian Kusek, Richard Burrows, Erwin Dodge, Dorothy Auble, and Norma Mae Snell made a fair beginning in one of the most useful of the speech arts. th Koulml Km-ullullx Eglelwff Barbara Dale XI S e livelvnv Loft Uganfiafssi Axfliillg 572015 May Day, a raw, windy spring day, but the spectators forget chills and shivers as they watch the Ord relay team sprinting in to a winning finish which decides the meet in Ord's favor. Spring sports this year center almost entirely around track work. The first warming up event of the season is a triangular meet at Bur- well in which Taylor forces Ord to second place. The next is a quad- rangular meet at St. Paul where Ord places first with many points to spare. These two contests help prepare the boys for the big Loup Valley Championship meet at Burwell, but here again Taylor proves a little too good for Ord. The really big event of the 1936 track season is the first annual Mid- Six Conference meet held at Ord May lst. Hal J. Bowers is imported from Lincoln to serve as starterg an amplifying system is set upg and arrangements made for all spectators to occupy the grandstand seats from which all parts of the track and field can be easily seen, while an- nouncer Granby keeps all informed as to placings and points. It is a close and exciting meet with Arcadia pushing Ord, much of the time there being only one point's difference in the standing of the two schools, with Broken Bow coming in as a strong third party. The half-mile relay finishes the meet giving Ord a final total of 41 to Ar- cadia's 38 points, thus entitling Ord to the two handsome trophies which have been on display for weeks.

Nearly half of the Senior Class is represented in the various musical organizations, and of the men who lettered in athletics this year more than half are Seniors. Every club in the school has a large group of Seniors-and as to class work, the Seniors shine there, too. Not always, and not all of them, 'tis true, but enough that they needn't be ashamed of their record. Now don't get the idea the class is perfect. It is'nt, and who would want it to be? Besides, it wouldn't do us any good to say so-you all know us too well. We admit we have contributed our share to faculty wrinkles and gray hair.

Commencement is the grand climax of the school year and the events leading up to it produce a whirl of excitement and activity on the part of students and faculty. Everyone is affected, even to the Junior High folk who look on in awe and wonder how it feels to be a Senior. This year's class put off its first social so long that it can almost be classified as a commencement season affair. Because of a crowded calendar the Seniors had to change plans and dates until they finally decided upon the easiest kind of entertainment, a theatre partv, followed by refreshments at the cafe. The picture selected was 'fMan Hunt, but it wasn't the picture which attracted as much as the one hundred thirty dollar purse, because it happened to be a bank night show. Natur- ally, the Seniors were sure that Lady Fortune would smile on such a brilliant group and that one of them would get the money, but-alas! However the Seniors weren't too worried to enjoy themselves at Thorne's Cafe where they lunched on ice cream, punch, and wafers, and entertain- ed themselves with songs. The Senior play and the Junior-Senior banquet are close rivals for interest and attention during the months of April and May. Both re- quire weeks of planning and preparation and are the subject of much conversation. The play selected by the Class of '36 is a play which carries a message that one ponders long and often, for Channing Pol- lock's The House Beautiful is a truly great play. The scene varies a little, but is centered around a plain, homey living room which changes but little with the passage of the years. Act I starts in the spring of the year and deals with the spring time of life. It covers a period of ten years, from 1901 to 1911. Act II begins eleven years later, in 1922 and covers a period of five years. Act III starting in the winter of 1928, ends in the spring of 1930. The message is in the hands of two steadfast characters, Archie Davis and his wife Jennifer, who spend a lifetime combatting an age of materialism in which pleasures and possessions are won at the expense of the soul. The play's story is the story of their house founded on sacri- fice, love, and honesty. They struggle to make a living while their worldly friends prosper, they see their son's happiness endangered when he marries a girl of superficial tastesg and Archie becomes known as la failure because he refuses to prosper through dishonest means. After his death Jennifer keeps alive their ideals with Archie's spirit lingering to afford her courage and companionship. The play was cast in the following manner.

For weeks they have been hard at work on favors, menus, programs, invitations, and decorations. Now those decorations must start going into place. It takes no little time and effort to hang a ceiling of blue from the steel girders of our big auditoriumg and too, it takes a little time to close off the bleachers with a vine covered, white-washed picket fence. The banquet theme is that of an old-fashioned garden and flowers bloom everywhere, even in the toast list, for the initial letters of the sub- jects, all flowers, spell the word flower . The combination nut cups and place cards take the shape of little sprinkling cans, and the favors are bouquets pinned on each person as he enters the banquet hall. Min- iature maypoles form the table centerpieces, while a huge maypole oc- cupis the center of the room, later figuring in the evening's entertain- ment when a group of Sophomore girls dance around and wind it. What a flutter of excitement as the guests start coming and as- semble in Room 25 to await the call to the auditorium, The curious are parked in cars all around the schoolhouse and some even venture to enter the building in order to watch the Juniors and their guests descend the stairs. At the auditorium door the company is met by two negro porters, who later prove themselves excellent dancers, and by a bevy of flower girls. Exclamations of delight come from the Seniors as most of them get their first look at the room and tables. The banquet is interspersed with conversation and song and when the last course is removed, Laverne Lakin, toastmaster, arises to an- nounce the toasts and program numbers. All too soon it is over, this long-anticipated evening, over in reality, but always to remain in mem- ory. Baccalaureate exercises take place the Sunday evening following the banquet. The Seniors assemble early, each carrying a box under his arm. The sewing room soon becomes a place of confusion as the grad- uates don caps and gowns and strive to get a look at themselves in the full length mirrors. The symbolic garments, the solemnity of the march, and the earnestness of the message bring a touch of seriousness, even sadness, to the Seniors as they realize they have only one more week together. Monday night, Achievement Night, belongs to all the students who have lettered in any activity, but is especially significant to the Seniors, more than half of whom receive one or more letters. Certainly the Seniors must have another social time together some time during this week. In the arranging of the calendar, Tuesday is left open so the Seniors may use any of the hours excluding 9 A. M. to 3:20 P. M. for any social activity except Hskippingu. Wednesday, May 27th-Commencement! The Seniors listen to the advice and counsel of F. E. Henzlik, Dean of the University of Nebraska Teachers College, and walk across the stage to claim their diplomas. A few tears, tight throats, husky voices for some, expressed relief and hap- piness on the part of others. There might be more show of emotion if the graduates didnlt happen to remember that tomorrow is another school day, even for Seniors, and tomorrow night is Class Night. It isn't quite over yet! The Seniors needn't be quite so dignified on Class Night. They doff cap and gown, display their talent, and have fun at their own expense. Their program is just the typical Class Night program-but it is far from ordinary to the Class of '36. 36 H51 19 L461 our afar qfffgoa Klffffro in 54695 ORD HIGH'S REPRESENTATIVE STUDENTS CHARLOTTE BLESSING, College P1'epa1'at01'y,' Cheerleader, four years, Girl Reserve, three years, G.A.A., one year, Senior Glee Club, three years, Student Council, one year, Vice-President Freshman Class, Annual Staff, Senior year, Junior Class Play.

ALLEN ZIKMUND EVELYN KOKES CARNIVAL KING AND QUEEN This picture was snapped Carnival night by the Quiz photographer just as the royal pair was about to receive their crowns. Several days before the Carnival the classes chose their representatives for King and Queen of the Carnival, then the final choice was left to the crowd. For each ticket purchased the purchaser was entitled to five votes for his favorites. Allen is a Freshman, prominent in the musical organizations, Evelyn is a Senior normal training student.

' It doesn't seem very possible, considering the failure of recent classes to carry out their annual plans, was the reply. But isn't there some way to manage? It has been four years since the last annual appeared and this is the year for another one if we carry out the plan of having one every four years. , Determined to do something about it, the seniors appointed a com- mittee to consult with their Sponsor and Superintendent. A plan was worked out and laid before the Faculty and Student Council. The plan was this: make the annual an all-school affair, not just a Senior proposi- tion, and hold a carnival to help finance it. The plan was approved. The newly elected staff members felt that a real honor had been bestowed upon them and not only an honor, but a job, a real one. Just how does one go about producing an annual, anyway? The staff didn't know, neither did their sponsor, so they set out to learn together with the advice and counsel of Mr. Bell. Well, here we are, writing the last page of our book, and welre much wiser than we were. We've learned a great deal, but not all, about dum- mies, engravings, photography, arrangement, and a dozen other things. We have worried, worked, and made mistakes, but our troubles are all forgotten now that we see our dream book taking form and substance. This book is the combined product of many hands and minds. Stan- ley Lumbard, our local photographer, deserves the credit for what we think is an exceptionally good set of group and individual pictures. He spent much time and trouble in pleasing us. We hope you like the 1936 Chanticleer as much as we want you to, for the success of this annual is prophetic. If it makes you annual minded, you can have one every year, each one bigger and better. Season by season, the school year through! And now we have come to the close of the term. We hope it has been a happy and profit- able one for you. Chcmticleer Staff Q
