Class History On September 1, 1949, — the day 39 people had awaited so long — we entered Pawnee City High School as freshmen. After a few days of feeling slightly lost, getting in wrong rooms, and such, we settled down to the routine and, initiation completed, became full-fledged Paw- neeans. We chose Judy Cleavenger as our president, Ronnie Lantz as our vice-president, Gary Wamke as our secretary-treasurer, and Doyle Boren as our student council representa- tive. Miss Childers was our class sponsor. Although our funds were very low we managed to finance a party that was loads of fun for everyone. This year the tingle, of small bells could be heard everywhere. No! Santa Claus wasn’t coming! The freshman were — with bells on their shoes. By the time we became sophomores we had acquired an amazing amount of knowledge, we thought. We chose Ronnie Lantz as our president. Barbara Vacek as our vice-president, Gary Warnke as our secretary-treasurer, and Doyle Boren as our student council representative. Our class sponsors were Miss Kelly and Mr. Hedges. We were finally permitted to take part in some of the school activities such as choir and pep club. This year our funds increased and we had a big masquerade party with lots of food! Our junior year we chose Donna Howard as our president. Nelson Jensen as our vice-president, Barbara Vacek as our secretary-treasurer, and Kathryn Lair and Henry llerries as our student council representatives. Our class sponsors were Miss Peckham and Miss Kelly. This year we were really busy. We presented our class play, “Seventeen is Awfully Young and gave the seniors a “South of the Border banquet which included a dance afterwards with a real, live orchestra. We were also kept quite busy by frequent trips — namely, between Miss Auserod’s room and the office. At last, after four years of hard labor, we be- came high and mighty seniors. We chose Nelson Jensen as our president, Ronnie Lantz as our vice-president, Jean Dodson as our secretary- treasurer, and Donna Howard and Henry llerries as our student council representatives. The big events of this year included sneak day, our play, the banquet the juniors gave us and, last but by no means least, commencement. As we neared the end of our last year we began to realize that we were completing one of the happiest times of our life and it is with the deepest regret that we leave our school days in Pawnee Hi behind us and go into the world of our own. CLASS FLOWER: Violet CLASS COLORS: Blue and White CLASS MOTTO: Backbone, not Wishbone Class Will We, the senior class of 1953, being of sound mind and memory fit says here) do hereby will and bequeath the following, bearing no responsi- bility for the effect it may have upon the heirs. Jeannie Allison wills her ability to play the piano to Jon Fink. Now he won’t have to spend his money having Jerry Reed teach him. Gary Warnke wills his driver’s license to Bill Panec. Gary got along without it for so long he doesn’t need it any more. Joe Perdew wills his black, curly hair to Mary Berries, Gee! Won’t Mary look different? Nelson Jensen wills his wonderful report card to Frances. It’s nice to keep it in the family. Donna Hess wills her ability to go steady to Pauline Boman. Now whom will the boys take home? Christine Christen wills her ready smile to Louis McClintock. Irene Benson wills her assortment of auto- mobiles to anyone who can find as many. Donna Howard wills her good conduct record to Darlene Antholz. What a surprise the teachers are in for! Eva Chase wills her clarinet to the highest bidder. Secretly, I’ve heard it isn’t worth much. Jean Dodson wills her diamond ring to Donna Preston. Oh, you lucky girl! Ronnie Lantz wills his ability to be late to band almost every morning to John Barr. I hope you can think up excuses as fast as Ronnie could, John. Iona Slater wills her love for DuBois to her sister Doreen. David Albers wills his aloofness to women to Gerald McCall. There’ll be some changes made. Donna Boehmer wills her ability to do the shopping, cook dinner, eat, do dishes, and get back to school at 12:30, to anyone who is fast enough. Barbara Vacek wills her ability to talk long and fast to Ina Hunzeker. This should really keep Ina busy. The Stastny twins will their ability to dance to the Hess twins. Now how will the freshman boys ever keep up with them? Henry Berries wills his love troubles to Vaughn Yost. You can add them to your own, Vaughn. Viola McClintock wills her quiet, pleasant ways to Bevo Packett. Do you think you can manage it, Bevo? Bob Schilling wills his ability to learn Ameri- can history to Lowell Johnson. The poor teacher! Roma Gyhra wills her ability to play volley- ball to next year’s team. This should make a team that can’t be beat. Dorothy Cordon wills her ability to have a good time all the time to Robert Blecha. Cheer up, Robert! Doyle Boren wills his ability to get into trouble with every teacher to Wayne Slemons. You have a good start, Wayne; so the job shouldn’t be too hard. Dolores Mason wills her ability to get along with others to Marianne Mangnall. Stanton Spohr wills his technique of trying to make 6 “hit with every miss to Charles Allen. Maybe he’ll give you a few lessons, Charlie. Allan Kerl wills his carefree way to Carolyn McVitty. Just let yourself go, Carolyn. Pat Stitzel wills her secret of how to get an FFA ring to Becky Colwell. Now Becky can be a future farmer, too. Kathryn Lair wills her ability to argue to Alberta Packett — as if she needed it! David Cary wills his job at Lang’s to Edward Daniel. Cany on Edward. Allan Brown wills his ability to drive reck- lessly to anyone who likes to live dangerously. Carolee Kerl wills her bass clarinet to Joyce Yarger. Do you think you can carry it, Joyce? Bill Rohlmeier wills his walk to Orlene Frank. Just relax and bounce along, Orlene. We, the Senior Class, will each and every student and teacher the best of luck in the future. THE PAWNEE REPUBLICAN-WAY 30.1973 Class Reunion One of the biggest social events of the year was the reunion of the senior class of 1953. It was amazing to find what course each one’s life had taken. The only two members of the class unable to attend were Jeannie Allison and David Cary. Jeannie was on tour in Europe as a concert pianist and David, who incidentally holds the title of light weight boxing champion of the world, had a match scheduled in Madison Square Garden. Gary Karnke was combining business and pleasure. He was busily greeting old classmates and taking pictures at the same time. Gary is head photographer for the Omaha World Herald. Donna Howard is also employed by the Omaha World Herald as make-up editor. She started her career with this very paper many years ago. I was rather surprised to find that David Albers is a traveling salesman for the Ladies’ Danties Company of New York. He said he really enjoys his work. Eva Chase flew all the way from Alaska where she is a homemaking teacher. She said her main course is home freezing. 1 found that Henry Herries and Bob Schilling had taken over the undertaking parlor. I guess Henry digs the graves and Bob consoles the mourners. Iona Slater has made quite a name for herself as a Powers model. She came to the reunion dressed in the latest fashion wearing a beauti- ful black nylon dress with matching stole. P.S. Her slip was showing. The Stastny twins informed me that they are running a children’s clothing store that special- izes in twins’ clothing. They also said that the former Donna Hess is their best customer. Donna seems to have quite a time keeping her two sets of twins in clothing. Allan Kerl and Allan Brown were able to come between performances. They are co-starred in a thrilling act in Chicago and are known as the most daring things on wheels. Their motto is, “You build ’em and we wreck ’em. The former Jean Dodson and Irene Benson were busy comparing notes on their husbands’ naval careers. Dorothy Cordon and Christine Christen are the two main attractions in the Paris show, “The Dancing Follies . The producer of the show is Bill Rohlmeier. The girls told me that they love Paris and Bill told me secretly that he really gets a kick out of his work. Nelson Jensen is a famous heart specialist. Pat Stitzel, who took over Hedda Hopper’s job, told me he went into the business when he had so much trouble with his own heart. She said the heart trouble was caused by Carolee Monroe Kerl when she loved him and left him. Carolee, by the way, now has her own TV show. Joe Perdew and Stanton Spohr are heading the radio program, “People are Funny . Pat Stitzel again gave me a hot tip that they are the funniest people there. Dolores Mason and Roma Gyhra were busily campaigning for the first woman candidate for president, who is none other than Kathryn Lair. Dolores and Roma say Katy would make a great president because she can out-talk any man. Katy proved it when she gave a speech at the reunion banquet. Everyone almost starved be- fore she finished. The former Barbara Vacek said she had quite a time getting to the reunion. She had to locate enough baby sitters to take care of her ten children and that’s a pretty big job. Doyle Boren informed me that he is drawing a comic strip entitled, “The Mean Little Kid . His readers say be never runs out of ideas and is so artistic, too. Ronnie Lantz gave everyone the good news that he is returning to Pawnee as head coach. He also said he has found a few grey hairs and thinks his greying hair is caused by worry over his two sets of twins. Donna Boehmer is editor of the True Confes- sion magazine. Ever now and then she slips in a confession of her own. The former Viola McClintock is happily married to a farmer. They are by far the wealth- iest farmers in these parts. The .day was spent enjoying good food and renewing old friendships but the most enjoyable part was reminiscing the good times the class shared together in Pawnee High School.

SCHREPEL For twenty-eight years the scarlet and black of the Pawnee City High School Band has added color to the musical highlights of this area. During this time the band has grown not only in reputation but also in size, numbering seventy-three performers in its ranks this year. Several new instruments have been added this year through the cooperation of the Board of Education and Band Mothers Club. Important activities of the band this year included performances at all home football games, at the county fairs, school assembly programs and the Mid-winter and Spring concerts, Band Day at the University of Nebraska, the Southeast Band Festival at Falls City, the District Music Contest at Auburn, and the Memorial Day parade. The chief aim of the members of the band has been the develop- ment of the fine citizenship and morale so necessary to the success of any organization — not only in concerts and re- hearsals, but also in the small groups and in individual achieve- ment.

GANZEL The Future Fanners of America is the national organization of, by, and for farm boys studying vocational agriculture in public and secondary schools, which operate under the provisions of the National Vocational Education Acts. It is an educational, nonpolitical, non-profit, farm youth organization of voluntary membership, designed to develop agricultural leadership, character, thrift, scholarship, cooperation, citizenship, and patriotism. Its members learn through participating experiences how to conduct and take part in public meetings, to speak In public, and to assume civic responsibility. The r. 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 effective devices for teaching through participating experiences. The Pawnee City Chapter received its Charter in 1929 and has had an active Chapter for 23 years. We have had four advisors: Mr. Rosen- berger, 1 year; Mr. Deems, 7 Years; Mr. Vance, 13 years; Mr. Ganzel, 2 years. Some of the activities of the F. F. A. this year were giving Yorkshire gilts to David F'lanagin and Donald Caswell and ewes to David Hoffman, state and district conventions, educational trips to Aksarben and St. Louis. F.H.A.
