Tiistory . Down the long trail One September mom many moons ago, fifty-two eager young Pawnees stormed the doors of Pawnee High School in a search lor knowledge. We managed, somehow, to brave the ridicule of both the older warriors and the paleface faculty, and took our places as stu- dents in this heap big wigwam of education. We elected Tracy as our Chieftain and Carol Jean as his assistant. Lucille recorded the happenings at our pow-wows and handled our wampum. Our representative to the Great Tribal Council was Jim Plihal and Miss Moler served as our honored counselor. At this time we were officially allowed to attend the month- ly tribal dances as full-fledged braves. Also, it was during this year that Katie went with Jack, Chief Huston combed fair maiden Cook's hair, and Miss Werner bade us a fond farewell. Our sophomore year, we again donned our war paint and tomahawks in an effort to add more feathers to our caps of knowledge. This year, Big Chief Huston was assisted by Dean Howard. Carol Smith took over our evei- increasing supply of wampum and recorded the events at our pow-wows. Bob Hubka cast his lot with the Tribal Council and we were aptly-advised by Miss McKissick and Miss Olson. Aside from the usual routine of study all the girls cut bangs and hay rides became quite popular. As we entered Pawnee High our junior year, the girls immediately began rehearsals for the class play Campus Deadline. Tracy remained our dependable chieftain and was ably assisted by Joy. Lucille, again, took charge of wampum and pow-wows. Marilyn and Dean Howard were elected to the Tribal Council and we were counseled by Miss Mc- Kissick and Miss Peckham. As Christmas ap- proached, Carol kissed Mr. Albrecht under the mistletoe (the festive spirit must have gotten the best of her); we presented the annua’ Christmas program, featuring Pike Bones and his Country Lickers; Dotsy and Polly had a big mid-semester sale at their locker, and Jim made All-State. Dignified Seniors! We have found ourselves in these moccasins all too soon. Dean Howard now serves as our honored chieftain with Joy as his right-hand man. Belva is handling what wampum we still have (after paying for last year's banquet) and is recording what takes place at our very frequent pow-wows. Tribal Council representatives are Tracy and Marilyn. Counselors are Coach Moss and Mr Rosewell. In November, we presented the traditional Thanksgiving program which will always be remembered (at least, by us). Also, Jim made All-State again. A great deal of our story remains to be told—for one cannot write what has not yet happened. The class play, banquet, class day, sneak day, and commencement are still in the future. As we approach the end of the long, long trail which has led us through four eventful years of high school, we are prepar- ing to leave this reservation as brave warriors, ready to proceed into life, each seeking his own fortune. We sincerely hope that we will not be lost in the shades of a long-forgotten past. Class Motto: No prize without a struggle. Class Colors: Maroon and Grey. Class Flower: Gardenia. Page 10 We, the Senior class of 1950, being of sound mind and body (it says here in small print) do, before our departure into the remaining years of the hereafter, hereby will and bequeath (no strings attached, believe it or not!) the following to those whose doom it is to follow in our footsteps: Carolyn Hess wills her quiet temper to Maxine Korber. (This makes the second year that she has been willed such—but to no avail.) Bob Hubka wills his ability to remain busy in study halls for 40 minutes to Harold Milne. You can relax now, Miss Ullstrom. Marilyn Edgerton wills all her excess charms to the first 75 people that apply. She says she has plenty to go around. Polly Parrett wills her giggle to Paul Cash. Won't that perk up the football team? Tracy Huston wills his ability to hold the office of president for three consecutive terms to the Republicans. They seem to need it. Donna Callam wills her ability to dance to all future attenders of the Z.C.B.J. Hall. Dean Howard leaves his curly hair to Bill Welch. A charm-curl or toni might help the situation, Bill. Don Albers leaves his place in the Ag. room to his brother—nothing like keeping it in the family. Betty Brown wills her walk to Albert Benson. Think you can do it, Albert? Anna Mae Friedly wills her dependability to all underclassmen. This should solve a lot of problems around school. Sylvia Hooper wills her big brown eyes to Keith Niss. Let's see some action, Dirdo!! Ruth Boehmer wills her position on the vol- ley ball team to Jerome Hoffman. Well, girls, this is your chance. Won't he look cute in white shorts???? Dean Kalina wills his dancing technique to Albert Panec. You won't have any trouble getting a partner now, Albert. Carol Jean Stewart wills all lost combs, gloves and lipstick to the lucky people who find them. Joy Howard leaves for a good night's sleep. Betty Rohlmeier wills her height to Ace Bennett. Heck! We did have hopes for the basketball team. Lawrence Brown leaves his car, ahem, to Alvin Vance. This will make transportation to Humboldt much much easier, eh Alvie? Ross Kerl leaves his ability to give im- promptu speeches to all future speech students who don't believe in studying either. Betty Mort wills her ability to make angel food cakes to her cousin, Pat Stitzel. Dean Davis wills his quietness to Lee Frost. Maybe there is still hope for choir. Shirley Callam leaves..................in a certain grey Chevrolet. Belva Turnbull bequeaths her typing ability to Robert Stepanek. The lucky dog!!! Vera Steiner wills her light complexion and blonde hair to Bill Dakan. Peroxide is our solution, Bill. Nona Baker wills her unique little accent to Don Thurston. Ya can't do it if ya don't try. Don. George Gilmore left in October. We suppose he got tired of waiting. Lucille Eddy wills her position as majorette in marching band to Lowell Vestal. Skirts, we love those skirts. Here's hoping he does, too Jim Plihal leaves his habit of burning mid- night oil to Rut Clark (Studying, that is, Rut!) Carol Smith just leaves. Pawnee’s loss is Peru's gain. Sam Brzon leaves his love for American history to Cynthia. Don't tell us your troubles, Coach! Do we look like your mother????? Theba Blodgett wills her neatness to all underclassmen’s lockers. Don Haverkamp's slogan of No dates, more spending money, is willed to Bingy Boehmer. Barbara Colweil leaves her chair in band PLUS all chipped, broken, lipstick-soaked reeds, cork grease, and old lesson books to Donna Bethel. Carry on!! Katie Kerl wills her unconventional way o? doing things to Nelson Jensen. Dotsy Kerl leaves her soprano voice to Chuck Jensen. Well, Chuck, this means you can take over in girls' trio next year. Happy thought, isn't it? Echo Nimmich wills her ability to drive to Ned Eckman. Need we say more????? Georgia Bock leaves her violin to Henry Herries. Move over Marj, you don't stand a chance. Bob Packett leaves, that is, if Mr. Bratt consents. Don Thompson wills his car to Mary Carolyn Bratt and we the Annual Staff of '50 being sympathetic and understanding will to Mr. and Mrs. Bratt a year's supply of Bayer aspirin. We sincerely hope this does the job. The entire class of '50 wills to every student and teacher of Pawnee High the best of every- thing in years to come. Page 11 1st Row—Audrey Bailey.

Mr. Bratt The Student Council has been very active in this, its eleventh year. Activities sponsored by the council included the freshman get- acquainted party, the monthly high school dances, the school lyceum course, the decora- tion of the school Christmas tree, the full-length motion pictures, and the high school carnival. Each class is represented on the council, and working together with the aid of their sponsor, Mr. Bratt, they accomplish much in a constant effort to make this a better school.

Arthur Schrepel One of our oldest and most active organiza- tions is the band Looking back, we find that since its organization twenty-four years ago the band has grown both in size and in musical ability. In the past year the band had a very full schedule. They attended the Humboldt and Pawnee County fairs, football games, the dis- trict music contest, parades, and gave their annual fall and spring concerts. An outstanding event of the year was the trip the band made to Lincoln for the University Band Day at the Oklahoma-Nebraska game. The band was one of 65 bands which paraded through down-town Lincoln and were rated as they passed the reviewing stand. Then they all took part in the state-wide mass band formation in The University of Nebraska Me- morial Stadium. The small instrumental groups were again organized, and made a good showing at the district contest held at Auburn.

Betty Mort Belva Turnbull Director........................H. Arthur Schrepel As the senior instrumental organization of the school, the orchestra has completed a very successful year. With a complete string choir and a full complement of woodwind, brass, and percussion, the orchestra has been able to study and perform some of the best music of the old masters as well as of the contempo- rary composers. Rehearsals were held twice a week and much was accomplished in technique and musicianship. The highlights of the year's activities were the performances at the fall and spring con- certs, the district contest, and the playing of the processional for graduation services. The orchestra has much to offer to those interested in fine instrumental music. Page 23 . . . . Mtisic is the poetry of the air. 1st Row—Max Scott. Bill Huston. Beverly Alien. Mary Alice Wilson.

Practices became serious business immedi- ately, for the first appearance of the choir at the Pawnee County Fair necessitated hard work. The work of a choir is never finished for, in addition to striving for better tone qual- ity and musicianship, there is always another program date rapidly approaching. There were assembly programs during the year and then that highlight of the Yuletide season, the annual Christmas Vesper Service. The District Music Contest presented its usual challenge to the choir and provoked many hours of intensified practice. The year was culminated by the traditional production of an operetta. Not only does the choir try to achieve many musical effects, but it is also constantly striving for good citizenship. Every member must abide by the rules set up by the group to remain in choir. In this way the choir has become a hard working group and a builder of democ- racy. Page 24 Qlee Sing, labor and laugh. 1st Row—Beverly Allen. Mary Alice Wilson. Donna Shelabarger. Shirley Callam.

Soon after that, the girls appeared on an assembly pro- gram for the school. The high point of the year came with the Christmas Season and the Christmas Vesper Service. One of the out- standing numbers performed at this time was Gesu Bambino by Yon. After the gaiety of the holiday season, the group settled down to hard work with emphasis placed on im- provement in blending and expression. The climax of the year was the participation in the District Music Contest at Auburn.

He studies vocational agriculture and becomes a practical scientific farmer. He thinks clearly and works efficiently. He recognizes challenging problems and opportunities. He is cooperative, friendly, courteous and honest. He receives training in leadership and citizenship and serves effectively for his home, community and nation. He is bringing a new era of agriculture and rural living. The Pawnee City Chapter of the Future Farmers of America won the white ribbon in the state chapter contest. Jim Rinne placed first in the district public speaking contest and fourth in the state public speaking contest at Omaha. The dairy judging team, consisting of George Jones, David Waddell and Jim Rinne, won first in the state contest at Lincoln, the second year in succession for Pawnee to win first place. This team represented the state in the national F.F.A dairy judging contest at Waterloo, Iowa in October, 1949. Jim placed in the silver group; David and George placed in the bronze group. The team placed in the silver group, the same placing that last year's team won. The farm mechanics team, consisting of Bob Hubka and Donald Albers, placed third in the state contest. The livestock team, con- sisting of Keith Niss, Arden Bredemeier and Dean Kalina, placed sixth The crops team, consisting of Henry Peacock, Keith Niss and Arden Bredemeier, placed tenth. There were over forty Chapters entered in the different state contests. Page 27 c yomahawks . . . . “We’re with you, boys, we’re with you. Cheerleaders—Doris Kerl. Carol Smith. Barbara Colwell.

The main objectives of the club are to back the boys in their efforts to win and promote good sportsmanship in the school. Pep rallies were held before every game and skits were given before home games. The club sold refreshments at all home games and a bonfire and wiener roast was held to celebrate the closing of a successful football season. A pep band was organized for the basket- ball season which added greatly to the spirit of the games. Page 28 Fame is the spur. Ut Row—Dean Howard. Rex Brown. Tracy Hutton. Donald Thurtton.

To be an active member of this club one must have earned a letter and must have been initiated. This is a relatively new organization, since it is now in its second year. Thus far it has proved to be a successful and worthwhile organization. Page 29 lit Row—Edna Peacock. Joan Cordon. Barbara Vacek. Donna Mae Boehmer.

It aH began while we, Dotsy Kerl and Bar- bara Colwell, were touring the nation making campaign speeches as candidates of the newly organized Woman's Party''. Meanwhile the chairman of our party. Senator Katie Kerl, was feverishly trying to pass a bill through Con- gress to amend the Constitution. This bill read as follows: The executive power shall be vested in not one, but two Co-Presidents of the United States of America.'' You see, we couldn't decide which of us would make the better President, so we concluded that we should share the office. Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes. We got this brainstorm during a midaftemoon chat over a cup of tea with Queen Elizabeth of England. In fact, Liz has offered us many helpful hints for operating the government efficiently. To further our careers in politics, we sent a delegation of women to Russia led by Ambassador Sylvia Hooper. The purpose of this delegation was to try to persuade Pre- mier Stalin, Jr., to keep his communistic ways confined to Russia. An up-to-date report from Sylvia reveals that, with the help of Mrs. Stalin, our mission may be accomplished sometime in the near future. The night before we started our lengthy tour we attended a concert at Carnegie Hall. We were both surprised and delighted to hear Betty Mort, Theba Blodgett, Anna Mae Friedly, and Georgia Bock performing as a string quar- tette. They played Holiday for Strings . Un- doubtedly that's where they made their big mistake because now they're all taking a permanent holiday However, we hear they've been doing very well for themselves in their new enterprise. They have taken up singing and are now appearing on the radio (Station XERF in Del Rio, Texas—for more about this, read on!) Bright and early the next morning we sped out to La Guardia Field through the courtesy of Echo Nimmich's Cab Company. Upon arriv- ing at the airport we met Lawrence Brown who was to be our trusty pilot throughout the tour. We immediately boarded his little jet plane, Hog , and took off. Our first stop was in Nashville, Tennessee. There we started our campaign by kissing the gentlemen (?) and shaking the babies' hands. Then after making our routine speeches, we set out to look up our old friend Joy Howard. It seems that Joy was working for the Sealy Tuftless Mattress Company as Chief Mattress tester, and we found Joy hard at work giving a six-hour demonstration in a display window on Main Street. We knew Joy was interested in forestry, but we never thought we'd see him sawing logs for a living. That night we put on a new face and a pair of nylons and made our way to Nona's Notorious Night Club. We found our old classmate, Nona . Baker, doing very well. Need we say morer During our chat with Nona (between bites i of snail paste hors d oeuvre and gulps of odr salt water demi- tasse) she told us about Bob Packett's little place just around the comer. But, due to the fact that our time was limited, we missed the opportunity of seeing Bob. This we regretted very much. Our next stop was in Chicago. There we learned that Dean Howard had be- come quite a prominent citizen as President of the Chew and Chaw Tobacco Company. We found Polly Parrett's name listed in the phone book as a private sitter for the president of a tobacco company. First we thought her to be a baby sitter, but we soon found, much to our amazement, that she held a life-long contract as a knee sitter. (Private secretary to you Eng- lishmen.) We stepped in to congratulate Ruth Boehmer, retired women's wrestling champion, on her winning f restling teams. Pictures of Ruth's Rough and Ready Wrestlers appear on the back of each and every Wheaties box. For entertainment while in Chicago, we at- tended the annual performance of the Ringling Bros., Bamum, and Bailey Circus. There we found Donna Callam attempting to put her normal training to good use. She had a per- manent job teaching the monkeys to swing by their tails. At the circus we bumped into our old friend Marilyn Edgerton. Marilyn took us out to dinner that evening and we had a great time reminiscing. While we ate our delicious two inch sirloin steaks and Marilyn drank her glass of buttermilk (she was watching her waistline), she told us that she was modeling for Esquire. After delivering our speeches that evening we found ourselves en route to our old home town, Pawnee City, Nebraska. Upon arrival at the airport, we were heartily greeted by the Pawnee City High School Band, directed by the former Miss Carol Smith. Carol's hus- band is now coaching the All-State football and basketball teams of P.C.H.S. After this warm welcome we were honored with a very lengthy speech by Mayor Jim Plihal. Following this we hastened to Vera Steiners Beauty Salon where we spent the morning getting ourselves beautified While under the driers, we caught up on all the latest by reading the Pawnee Republican, now edited by Carol lean Stewart. We saw that: Betty Rohlmeier had recently been chosen Queen of the Mardi Gras in New Orleans; Betty Brown and her husband were operating the local theater (Now showing: Harry's Harassing Harem,'' starring Dean Kalina, plus added attraction on stage—Bobby Hubka, the Baritone King. From what we read we gathered that Bobby was having quite a time with his ardent fans, the BOBBY SOXERS ), Carolyn Hess was torch singer in the Z.C.B.J. Hall in DuBois; Sam Brzon was proud owner of this establishment; Shirley Callam was happily married and was owner of the local Tiny Tots Toggery (after reading further, we discovered how helpful this business must have been to Shir- ley); and while reading the Violet News we saw a picture of Don Albers' flea farm, which had been taken by the local photographer, Don Thompson. Since Don Albers was unable to leave his farm long enough to attend any one of our numerous speeches given in the fair city, we took a few minutes of our limited time to fly to Violet to see him He told us that his fleas were noted over the entire United States as the Best in the West. Resuming our tour, we flew straight south to Del Rio, Texas. There we attended the broadcasts of the strongest station in the nation, XERF. We found that nightly it brought us Sam Morris (your friend, liquor's foe) and Tracy Huston (your friend, Bob's foe). We took it that they Calendar September 5 First day of school lanitors sweep cobwebs away as eager freshmen storm the doors. 6 New teachers are the talk of the school 7 Newness beginning to wear off Now to study!!

Tracy told us that Dean Davis, now referred to as Digby O'Davis, your friendly undertaker, was run- ning a profitable funeral parlor in Dead Man s Creek, Texas. Tracy also introduced us to his sponsor, Don Haverkamp. We hardly recog- nized Don with that beard. It seemed that Don, now a renowned chemist, had discovered a new formula for making cheaper anti-freeze for automobiles. He was making a cool million, and told us that he attributed his success to the helpful advice of his old chemistry pro- fessor, Mr Darrow. We then continued our trip on to New Mexico where we attended a bull fight. Believe it or not Ross Kerl was the brave matador (He really throws the bull around now.) While we were in New Mexico in the midst of enjoying a new movie Blood on the Saddle,” by Mert Johnson of the Buckin' Broncho Picture Association, we received a telegram from Senator Kerl in Washington. It seemed that she had been unable to get the bill through Congress. In fact it was defeated in the Senate by a vote of 95-1 (Katie's vote) and they didn't even bother to send it to the House. It was at this point that everything went black. We don't know what has been happening but everyone has been treating us so strangely. Men in little white coats have been pushing us here and there. All we know is that we are in Belva Turnbull's Pitside Sani- tarium in Snake, Arizona (We get awfully tired of hearing Belva's oboe day in and day out.)
