It is an educational, non-political, non- profit, farm youth organization of voluntary membership, designed to develop agricultural leadership, character, thrift, scholarship, co- operation, citizenship, and patriotism. Its members learn through participating expe- riences how to conduct and take part in public meetings, to speak in public, and to assume civic responsibility. The F. F. A. is an intra- curricular part of vocational education in agriculture in the public school system of America. It constitutes one of the most effec- tive devices for teaching through participating experiences. The Pawnee City Chapter received its Charter in 1929 and has had an active Chap- ter for twenty-one years. We have had three advisors; Mr. Rosenberger, 1 year, Mr. Deems, 7 years; and Mr. Vance, 13 years. Page 24 Q. First Row: Dolores Brown Dorothy Cordon. Edna Peacock. Orlene Frank. Loretta Oenbrmg.

Southeast Conference Champs Experience and hard work paid off in the form of a winning tribe of Indians. The 1950 eleven was studded with three and four year lettermen. Four year men were, Paul Cash, Rutt Clark, Ned Eckman, and Chuck Jensen. Third year warriors were Jim Bennett, Dick Boehmer, Rex Brown, Keith Niss, Glenn Schultz, and Alvin Vance. These boys, play- ing their third year under Coach Moss and the T formation, displayed class and know- how seldom seen on a class B gridiron. Eldon McCall and Lee Frost, two year lettermen, were important links in the team's success. The Indians were indeed fortunate in that their toughest games came early in the season. The injury riddled Indians that took the field against Wymore and Tecumseh were but a shadow of the machine that mowed down their stronger opponents. The 1950 Indians struck early against all foes except Wilber and Peru Prep. In each of the other games the braves scored the first time they took possession of the ball. The first three plays brought three touchdowns against Auburn and the first two plays brought two touchdowns against Table Rock. The conference championship is the first held by Pawnee Citv since 1930. The 1950 Indians are the first to go through a season undefeated since 1926. Individual honors were as follows: Chuck Jensen, all-state class B, all-conference; Dick Boehmer, all-state class B honorable mention, all-conference, Ned Eck- man, all-state class B honorable mention, all- conference; Keith Niss, 2nd team all-confer- ence; Alvin Vance. 2nd team all-conference; Lee Frost, 2nd team all-conference; Jim Ben- nett, all-conference honorable mention; Rutt Clark, all-conference honorable mention; Glenn Schultz, all-conference honorable men- tion.

Having lost only one man of last year's conference champions, the nucleus of the team was made up of seasoned veterans. The team was bolstered by a promising crop of fresh- men, who show great possibilities for Pawnee's future squads. Although not able to match last year's un- beaten regular schedule, the Indians had a very successful season. Chuck Jensen led the Indian scoring for the third straight year.

Fifty-three students full of vim, vigor, and vitality, as the saying goes, found them- selves in the right rooms . . . but, at the wrong time. Our honorable leaders, it says here in small print, were: President, Jim Bennett; vice- president, Everett Thiemann, secretary-treas- urer, Chuck Jensen; student council, Alvin Vance. This year we ran the teachers ragged with paper planes, notes, paper wads, tacks on seats, and wearing each other's shoes. In fact we drove Miss Moler to the fatal step of matrimony. When we were sophies, our high and mighty were Alvin, Chuck, Laura, and Ned. This is the year we knew all the answers; if you don't believe us, you should have asked us! You undoubtedly have heard of our big hayrack ride (mostly couples) where not only the students enjoyed themselves but also our chaperones, Miss Olson and Mr. Albrecht. —Need we say more of our sophomore year? Our junior year really kept us busy—what with the Nursery Rhyme banquet, class parties, activities (two kinds—in school and out of school!) and our famous junior play. We viv- idly recall how there were minor upheavals between friends. If you don't believe it, just ask Ginny or Gerry. Ned, Chuck, Keith, Ginny, Carol, and Alvy were the (pardon the expres- sion) big wheels of our class. Faculty advis- ers who kept us working were Miss Peckham and Miss Danielson. Our last year we found out we didn't know nearly so much as we thought we did, except our confident athletic boys. Keith wore the crown, Ginny held the gavel, Glenn kept the records while Bette and Jim enforced the laws. Mr. Moss and Mr. Davidson attempted to spon- sor us, and what a job that was! We enjoyed sneak day, the seniors' day to play hooky lawfully, banquet, senior play, class day, bac- calaureate, and our last appearance as seniors at commencement. Forty-six of us are surprised (but proud) that we have completed four happy, never-to-be-forgotten years in dear P. C. H. S. CLASS MOTTO: The difficult we do immedi- ately; the impossible takes a little longer. CLASS COLORS: Blue and Gold CLASS FLOWER: Rose. Page 37 We, the Senior Class of Pawnee City High School in the year 1951, being of sound mind and having a good memory, do hereby will and bequeath the following articles and traits to the stated underclassmen with the hope that you will take care of them and cherish them always—if you decide to keep them, that is. First, to the class of 1952, we will our feeling of seniority and hope you will have as much fun in your senior year as we had in ours. Second, to all underclassmen, we will all our memories of flunked tests, first dates, teachers, crammed lockers, books, important activities, broken pencils, and all other vivid memories that were pressed upon us.

Believe me, they need it. VIRGINIA BELLOWS wills her knack of keeping more than one fellow on the string at a time to Jo Ann Allen. Now you'll be the envy of every other girl.

MARJ VAN HORNE leaves the big bass drum after six years to anyone with a good, strong, right arm. GRAY HABEGGER leaves his pretty ties to Hank Herries. I can hardly wait to see this! SHIRLEY ELENGA leaves her flute to Dono- van Albers. Do you think you can carry it, Don? ARDEN BREDEMEIER leaves his burning of the midnight oil to anyone who can sleep during classes and not get caught. VELMA JOHNSON wills her friendly smile to Vaughn Yost. Cheer up, Vaughn. ELDON McCALL leaves his ability to drive with one arm to Kyril Brown. We don't mean when it was in a oast, either! PATSY COLSON leaves her pretty wavy hair to Jerry Reed. Try putting it up, Jerry.

Don't let it get away from you, Gary. CHUCK JENSEN wills his ability to be late to every class to Ronnie Lantz. Get reinforced soles—those trips to the office are mighty long, Ronnie.

WILENA TURNBULL leaves her soft voice to Byford Packett. Do you suppose a muffler would work? GLENN SCHULTZ leaves in his Ford, taking a certain senior girl with him. BETTE REYNOLDS wills her cute dimples to Eugene Rakosnik. This is simply the finish- ing touch. ALVIN VANCE wills his ability to get along with a red-head to Allan Kerl. It's not so hard, Al.

GERRY HOWARD leaves her bangs to Doyle Boren. She keeps them down with water, Doyle. HAROLD CHASE wills his height to Bill Rohlmeier. Things look different from up there, Bill! To all students and faculty members we wish success in every way. Signed: SENIORS OF 1951 Witnesses: Laura King Gerry Howard fProoh ropnecy Who knows what the future holds in store for us? Let us look into our mystic ball some twenty-years hence, and visit the private lab- oratory of Professor Laura King, who is seated at her yvriting desk, deep in concentration. Today the great professor has stopped her extensive research on the Kelly Theory, to write a few lines to her old schoolmate, Gerry Howard. What important news could this letter contain? Let's look and see just what she is writing. Crazy Acres May 23, 1971 Miss Gerry Howard Pawnee City, Nebraska Dear Gerry, Strange as it may seem, this is what hap- pened. It all began a few days ago while I was waiting in the lobby of the appropriately named, Topsy Turvy Airport. Feeling a tap on the shoulder, I whirled around and, to my astonishment, there stood our old classmate. Bill Welch, arrayed in the queerest costume you can imagine. After being informed by Bill that it was just a new flying suit, he told me that he was nearly ready to start on a secret mission, for a secret destination, for a certain secret. Naturally being curious, I begged to go along, and after much delibera- tion, Byford Thomas, the efficient manager of the airport, decided that I might go. At that time I wasn't aware of the thrilling adventure in store for me. Then came the big shock! Our destination, Mars, via a huge, silver, flying saucer. After putting into use a great quantity of smelling salts, we at last landed safely on the planet Mars. I felt greatly relieved, as the trip had been made with no insurance policy to cover such an excursion. My guide turned out to be Nylanne Scheid- egger (nothing surprised me now!), who agreed to show me around in her glass Ford. (Once a Ford lover, always a Ford lover, they say.) Presently we came to a screeching halt in front of Clarks Repair Shop. Here I found Arden Bredemeier and Bill Dakan repairing and refueling mechanical men. What's this! A man shortage somewhere other than Pawnee High! Nylanne informed me that Russ had made a cool million (Mr. Darrow's favorite saying), manufacturing these strange individ- uals. 1 always said we had extremely different people in our class. Next we noticed a big airplane hangar with the names, Chase and Reed painted on it in big red letters. The combination of talents was enough to floor me, and the occupation, flying instructors, was more than 1 could take. Jackie said that most of their victims were progressing very well—with the exception of Jim Bennett. It seems poor Jim was still having trouble getting his feet off the ground. Just then 1 heard a thunderous crash, and turned around in time to see both our friends, Velma Johnson and Hank Peacock, coming from their respective cars. From all the shout- ing, I gathered that, as usual, the woman was at fault. It seems Velma had signaled for a right turn, and had turned left. Never trust a woman driver. Hank! Not wanting to get into the hot argument. I rushed across the street to Eckman's Elegant Egghut. Ned, the proprietor, told us that only the elite dined in his establishment. Could he have been hinting for my departure? While heading for the door I overheard the hostess, Bette Reynolds, scolding two waitresses, Bettie Jean Hopper and Velda Thomas. They had done the unpardonable by spilling soup on his honor, Sir Charles Jensen, the Mighty Mayor of Mars. His bodyguard, Gary Habegger, was trying to calm Sir Chuck's temper, but to no avail. Leaving this unpleasant atmosphere as soon as I could, I bumped into Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Schultz on their way to the Egghut to celebrate. Glenn had finally won an argument, and Jody was completely speechless. This was something to see! The flickering of bright lights caught my eye, and I saw the name, Marj Van Home, (Continued Next Page) (Jims fProphecy (continued) the Mad Drummer, in dazzling lights. Hurry- ing to learn what it was all about, I also saw Lee Frost's name on the bill. It read: “Frosty Frost, the man who will make you shiver with laughter. This was an evening's entertainment I couldn't resist; so after fishing through my bulging purse—bulging with bills, that is—I scraped up enough to purchase a ticket from Marilyn Tegtmeier. Marilyn joyfully told me that she had just bought the theatre, and this would be her last night counting change. She must really have been elated over the fact, for she short-changed me. But one must make a profit, mustn't one? Following my nose, I soon came upon the source of the fresh popcorn odor. (Something the Pep Club never had at games in high school!) There, much to my surprise, was Mert Johnson behind the ma- chine. He loved his job. You see, he could read mystery stories between batches. I stumbled down the aisle behind the flashlight of Mildred Oenbring, who was trying to tell me all her many experiences, and was really rattling off the words! Same old Millie! When the show was over, she was still telling me her adven- tures. Then I passed the famous, “Cash Pool Room. Paul had Keith Niss by the collar and was just ready to heave him out, but he politely waited till I had passed. Keith had been putting the eight-balls in his front pock- ets; still trying to get out from behind the eight-ball. By now it was getting rather late so 1 obeyed the sign and tumbled into Turnbull's Tumble-Inn. Wilena assured me that I would have a nice, long, quiet rest, which was exactly what I needed! I was escorted to my room by Eldon McCall, who kept telling me over and over again that I would truly enjoy my stay. I entered the room only to find Alvy Vance frantically cleaning it. (Picture Alvin doing anything frantically!) The rug seemed to be slightly elevated a few inches off the floor; dirt being the cause. After putting in a 5 o'clock morning call, 1 fell into bed for what proved to be an all-too-short sleep. Bright and early the next morning I was brutally awakened by Carol McKee, the O. W. U., Official Waker Upper. Wonder who woke her up? Upon entering the dining room I noticed a table occupied by three handsome men. A second glance revealed that our chum, Vir- ginia Bellows, was one of the party. Now don't get the wrong idea; Ginny is now teaching in college, and these were three students! As we were talking I heard a muffled cry for help, and I turned to see in the comer a stack of rus- tling papers. After rummaging through them, I found an arm. Pulling on it revealed that Carrie Caswell was the owner. As usual, Carrie was literally “wrapped up” in her new book entitled, Spirals of Thought. As I was leaving, I barely escaped injury when a bucket of water swished to the ground right behind me. I looked up and there was Albert Benson, apparently trying to wash win- dows Poor Al! The last time I heard it was he instead of the water that fell! 1 accepted his apology and watched him for a while as he scrubbed. My gaze was interrupted by the loud com- motion of an excited crowd farther down the street. The sheriff, Doyle Blodgett, was trying in vain to break up a fight. When the fighting slowed down, 1 was astonished to find it was Dick Boehmer and Rex Brown, who were chal- lenging each other for the hand of Donna Bethel. It's a sad situation, isn't it, fellas? While observing the fight, Donna told me of a brand new discovery in television—life-size and col- ored screens! And would you believe it, the two people to thank for this discovery are Patsy Colson and Sally Massey. They work for Mars Television Experiment Corporation. From the next business house came the familiar giggle that could only belong to Oleta Ellsworth. After calming her down I found she was laughing at Joan Cordon's new discovery —fluorescent ladies' hose that glow in the dark. But why? By now I was far from the airport, and a check with my watch revealed that I had ten minutes in which to get to the saucer for the take-off. I hired one of Elenga's Speedy Taxis, and Shirley herself turned up to take me. After an abrupt stop, I picked myself up off the floor and rushed over to the flying saucer. The mechanics, Eugene Kalina and Albert Panec, were checking the motor. As usual, Al was giv- ing orders, and Eugene was silently obeying. The slide seemed to be a little out of position, and as always, Al was having a bad time get- ting it in tune. Just think of Mr. Schrepel all of these years! After boarding the saucer there was still one thing bothering me. What was the secret for which Bill had come? Why had this long, dangerous space flight been made? Would the whole world ever know of its importance, or would it remain a secret with Bill? I suddenly was aware of the fact that he was preoccupied, and I knew this was my chance. Glancing over his shoulder, I read the large printing on the slip of paper he held in his hand. THE SECRET FORMULA FOR THE “MARS CANDY BAR. Fantastic, I'll agree—but it was a wonderful adventure. Your Classmate, Laura King 95° - '951 SEPTEMBER 2 Flunk early and avoid the rush. Is this hardly possible in just one day.
