INDIAN completed Every seventh period, Monday through Thursday, found Mr. Hillman, annual sponsor, and his so-called Unholy 4 down in Room 206 diligently cutting, typing, and past- ing. Carol Barbara, Janet, and John spent many frantic evenings up at school preparing the annual to be sent off. by Annual Staff Midnight oil burned late in old Room 206 as the Unholy 4 and sponsor, Mr. Hillman put the finishing touches on this year's INDIAN. It seemed like everything went wrong at the last minute as copy refused to count out or a picture went bad. Total surrender crossed our minds when a page was found missing, but somehow the staff struggled through last minute catastrophes. Then finally D-Day arrived. D-Day was deadline day, the inevitable hour that was sure to come. No matter how we tried to stop the clock or turn back the pages of the calendar, it somehow arrived. As the final copy was wrapped up, evervone agreed that all the work was well worth while. Here was a product that would last for years. The memories that this annual will bring to mind can never be forgotten. 2 DENNIS EMIL POPELKA DAVID ERVIN WENZL Our 1967 Annual is dedicated to the memory of these two outstanding students The Pawnee High Board of Education The Board of Education determines school policies and to broaden.

The Senior class officers of 1967, John Popelka, president, Lewis Rogers, vice-president, Janet Graham, secretary, and Sandy Shoemaker, treasurer, willingly accepted their duties of office. They all agreed that the past year had been both busy and eventful for them, as well as the entire senior class.

Among this years activities was the annual Clash Day. Every combination of clothing could be seen and the day was dominated by an air of festivity. Pictured here in their clash outfits are Sandy Parks, Dick Fischer, and Nancy Werner in chemistry class. During the Junior Class Debates, Bob Miller, Liz Howard, and Clarice Johnson listened intently as Ruth Stevens voiced her opinions as to why the United States should escalate the Vietnam War. The debaters benefited greatly from talks given by Sergeant Keith Root concerning his tour of duty in Vietnam and Southeastern Asia. 22 The Sophomore Class Passed Their Halfway Mark at Pawnee High School D.

In just a few moments the curtain will part and the Pawnee City High School Band will present its Winter Concert. Many hours of patient practice and individual effort go into the final presentation. The rewards are many. The members of the band have the feeling of satisfaction that comes from a perfect performance and the audience is treated to as fine a concert as heard anywhere. 31 BillCrom, snare drum; JoEllen Vrtiska, snare drum; Lynne Stewart, snare drum; Jud Martin, bass drum; Gary Moore, cymbals; Susan Torczon, tympani; made up the Drum ensemble this year. They worked up a number for District Music Contest. These band members were re- sponsible for keeping the BEAT this year. Band Officers: Janet Graham, Sec. Clarice Johnson, Drum Maj. Sandy Shoemaker, V.P. John Rogers, Pres. 30 The majorettes were an important and hard working group of the Pawnee City Band. Led by Drum Majorette, Clarice Johnson, the girls: Lyanna Walker, Sandi Rodene, Anita Ganzel, Ginny Allbright, Leslie Stake, and Kathy Winched, made for a dazzling front row on the marching band. Their experience and patience proved very useful as they helped to prepare the shows presented by the Band at home foot- bal I games. The saxophone quartet, composed of LaDonna Widle, bar itone sax; Janet Dageford, tenor sax; Sharon Moser and Nancy Werner, alto saxes; were consistently hard work- ers as they prepared their number for the District Mus- ic Contest. They faithfully gave up a few minutes of sleep one morning a week so that they could meet to- gether and iron out the hard passages. The flute trio members consisting of Clarice Johnson, Ruth Stevens, and Anita Ganzel have worked together as a group since they first started practicing their flutes back in the Fifth Grade. They have participated in the District Music Contest for the past three years. Through their persistence and long hours of practice, they have gathered invaluable experience in the areas of teamwork and musicianship. They have also entertained at various club and organization meetings around Pawnee City. 32 Clarinet Quartet members for the last year were the first four players of the clarinet section in Band. They were the following: Barbara North, Janet Graham, Ginny All- bright, and Lyanna Walker. Carolyn Dorrance, Lou Popelka, Dora Raper, and Carol Buman made up the French Horn Quartet the past year. They were very faithful workers and prepared a piece which they took to the District Music Contest. Sugar Town , Tijuana Taxi , No Matter What Shape , the home Basketball Games. The spirit and enthusiasm Sweet Georgia Brown . These were only a few of the with which the songs were played made for a lively and fabulous songs played by the Pawnee City Pep Band at fired-up atmosphere in the Auditorium. Brass Sextet members for the past year were the follow, ing: First Cornet, Bob Fink; Second Cornet, Randy Wissler; French Horn, Carol Buman; Trombone, Sandy Shoemaker; Baritone, Jay Sawyer; Tuba, John Popelka.

Vocal Music Music Fills the Air , and at Pawnee City High School, it filled the entire Audito- rium as the Vocal Music Department pre- sented the Annual Christmas Vespers to usher in the holiday spirit. Those participating in the event were the Junior High Chorus, the Mixed Chorus, and the Girls Glee, all under the direction of Mr. Richard Fankhauser. The program was highlighted by ex- cellent selections from the folk singing group and the High School Madrigal. Practice, tiring rehearsals, and long hours became an important part of the daily schedule for the student singers as they prepared not only for the Christmas Vespers but for the District Music Contest as well. Through it all they learned the im- portance of emotional expression through vocal experience. Janelle and Sandy represented the Vocal Department in the All-State Chorus held annually in November. Their singing talents spoke well for P. C. H.

Along with conditioning themselves for future life, the members learned the value of teamwork by placing in the District, and State Soil Judging Contests. The Ameri- can Royal in Kansas City proved to be an interesting and educational trip for the en- tire group. Another trip was made to Kansas City by the officers to attend the Nat. FFA Convention. The members made a good showing at the Dist, FFA contest at Fairbury by winning three blue, one red and one white. Last years Sentinal, Jack Nemec, was honored by being selected as State President of the FFA. The Freshman Ag. Students also gained valuable farming experience as a re- sult of the hog project. This year proved very worthwhile. The F.F.A. leaders for the past year were; Lewis, Vice President; Dick, President; Charlie, Secretary; Alan, Reporter; Evan, Sentinel; John, Treasurer.

During the course of the year, the P.C. Club sponsored a basketball game between the Siberian All-Stars and the Faculty. The Faculty were again on the losing end after a game with the Var. The P.C. Club stresses good sports- manship, no matter if it's a winning or los- ing cause. It is an honor to become a P.C. Club member and all athletic participants strive for this honor. 40 PAWNEE COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL P.C. Pep Club Loud shouts of vigorous enthusiasm marked the presence of Pawnee's Pep Club at every athletic contest throughout the year. The main objective of a pep club was to provide spirit for our winning teams. However, loud shouts were also heard every other Tuesday noon, as the pep club met in the study hall to iron out problems, discuss projects, and, in general, try to improve themselves. Among other activities of the pep club was the organization of the annual Home- coming. This year a commercial float was borrowed to carry the royalty around the field. After the game, the coronation was held in the gym, followed by the traditional dance. The Pep Club officers for the past year were: Lou, Liz, Treas; Ginny, Vice-Pres; and Sandy, Pres.

PAWNEE TRANSFER Sharing in the responsibility of publishing the Smoke Signals were all the members of the office practice class: Lyanna Walker, Lana Kennedy, Sharon Moser, Sandy Shoemaker, Janette Droge, Barbara North, and Janet Keiser. The Smoke Signals Kept Students Posted on All School Activities The main brunt of the work involved in putting out the school newspaper fell upon the editor, Sandy Shoemaker, and her assistant editor, Janet Keiser. With a sure eye for the who, what, when, and where of P.C.H.S. activities, the Office Practice Class published the monthly school paper, SMOKE SIGNALS. Gathering news, humor, and important information from every department and grade in school, the girls would incorporate the data into a truly unique school magazine. Student reporters, representing the various organizations and classes, would each month fulfill their duties. It was then that the real work would begin for the Smoke Signals Staff. The class typists would transfer the news to strips of paper that would then be assembled into a rough draft copy by the editor. The final stencils would be pre- pared and readied to be duplicated. This process was completed on the Office Mimeograph Machine, the stubborn, yet totally lovable Beast. 42 DUBOIS GRAIN COMPANY Our Hearts Were Young and Gay Senior class President John Popelka showed the classes' appreciation for her directing efforts by presenting Mrs. Stevens a casserole the night of the play. The plot of the Senior Class Play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay , remained at a high pitch of excitement while certain as- pects of the action became never forgotten memories. None of the cast will soon forget the backstage, impromptu dance given by Rodger or perhaps the firecrackers that were set off in the barrel to represent the exploding gas meters. No one suffered more than Charlie in his attempt to master the French language in a short four weeks. Though the atmosphere was dominated by hard work, practice was easily set aside when such extras as a pizza party or cookies and punch appeared. The Seniors will always believe that OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY. After many weeks of hard practice, the Senior class play materialized into an outstanding performance on Nov. 15 The play consisted of many humorous situations that resulted during a summer trip to Paris by two teenage girls. These situations involved them with everything from a stowaway on board ship to bedbugs in their hotel room. 43 HOPPER BROTHERS QUARRIES Activities Made the School Year Joyce and Clarice completed the Christmas Landing Dis- play created by the Home Economics Department. The Senior Tea, given by the Senior Home Economics girls, was a much awaited and planned for event. Pep--Enthusiasm--Spirit!! These were only a few of the many cheerleading qualities shown by the Pawnee High Cheer leading Squad during the past Football and Basket- ball Seasons. Led by Head Cheerleader, Kathy Winched, the girls displayed the competitiveness and sportsman- ship of all Pawnee High School students. SAWYER'S The Trailer, more fondly known as the Annex” by most McWilliams, the proclaimed King of Room 10 1 2, held P.C.H.S. students, was the big surprise that awaited us two American History and two American Government when we returned from the Christmas Holidays. Mr. classes in it every day the second semester. No, Suzan! It's Slot Q over Thingsmajig M! Despite all the hardships of assembly, LaDonna and Suzan did complete the headdress in time for Homecoming. Would you believe food? Delicious, edible FOOD? That was the reaction of the Sr. Play Cast as they stopped working and started eating at the Pizza Party. FARMER’S UNION CO-OP ASSN. Success in Achievement was Stressed by Students Beauty, charm, and poise were only a few of the many traits that characterized Pawnee High School's candidate to the Hiawatha Halloween Festival. Despite the usual stage fright and queasy stomach, Kathy spent the entire day of October 28 in Hiawatha modeling, answering questions, and being interviewed. The whole Student Body was proud of the way she represented our school and Kathy, though tired at the day's end, considered it an experience she will never forget. Thanks to the flying fingers and keen musical abilities of both Lyanna and Nancy, Pawnee City was well represented in the Nebraska All-State Band last fall. And for my next dish, I shall prepare —! Nevertheless, LaDonna's homemaking abilities captured for her the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow Award. 46 CIT1ZENTS STATE BANK Good scores by both Eldon and Larry helped the FFA Soil judging team capture a second place at the District Con- test and insured them a chance for further triumphs at the State Soil Judging Contest held this past year at Trenton. The team, consisting of Lewis, Larry, Eldon, and Dick proved their fine abilities. A big asset to the 1967 Indian's advertising campaign was Super-Salesman Ivan Anderson. His persistance and hard work made our financial campaign a success. The photography lab was one of the busiest and most im- portant departments on the 1967 Indian Staff. Dennis, Terry, and Mr. Barnhart proved their true worth.

Head Coach Jim McWilliams and Assistant Coach Jack Johnson guided the team to a 6-3 season re- cord and a tie for the Eastern Division Championship. A powerful offense, good team speed, and a staunch, determined defense made the Indians one of the toughest and most power- ful teams in the conference. Many fine individual efforts were put- out but the entire team worked especially hard to make the entire season a success. The Offense was sparked by the fine running of Junior Fullback Terry Borcher. Rodger Blecha, the team's defensive specialist, kept the line intact. He received trememdous support from Steve, Charlie, and Louie. Underclassmen played a vital part in the season's fine efforts. Bob, Larry, Kenny, Randy, Brian, and Dick displayed fine qualities as future leaders. The Indians can look forward to next year's season with anticipation. Football Co-Captains, Steve and Rodger, hold the South- east Border Conference Co-Championship Trophy. Their hustle and desire proved them worthy leaders. 56 Rounding the corner and taking off toward the opposition's goal line, Kenny Bowman left onewould-be-tackler gasp- ing for breath and picking himself up off the gridiron. Bowman, Number One Quarterback this last year, led the team to 6 victories with his cool nerve and unbelieveable stamina. Evading the defense's ends were no problem for Ralf as he sweeps in for a ground gainer. If looks could kill, the opposing lineman who has attached himself to Randy Howard, would now be dead!! Another pass reception for Terry!! Hustling Fullback Terry Borcher set a new school rushing record. 1966-67 SCHEDULE P.C. Auburn 18- 6 P.c. Johnson 14- 3 P.C. Stella 31- 0 P.c. Wilber 6-27 P.c.

Frustration came early for the Indians at the hands of Plattsmouth as the Indians suffered a loss of 60-64. The Indians winning streak was not snapped again until the Tecumseh Chieftains invaded the home floor to hand the Indians their second defeat of the season. Steve Hoffman and Charlie Havlicek, the 6'2 Senior forwards, led the team with outstanding leadership and good teamwork. All through the season, underclassmen also played an important part in the success of the team. Steve and Charlie, along with John, Kenny, Brian, and Randy, made teamwork, desire, and determination the name of the game. Dick Fischer, Arden Lang, Kevin Binder, Jim Huber, and Vaughn Koester provided strong bench strength. Plagued by injuries, the Indians succumbed to Nebraska City Lourdes Central in the first round of district tournament. John Wissler, the Czar of Pawnee City High School, re- ceived a big vote of thanks for his dedication as student manager to our athletic teams. Brian makes an all-out effort to tip the ball to a fellow teammate. Jumping played a big part in the game and all the team came through in good style. Steve and Charlie, the Indians' co-captains, receive the SEBC tournament trophy. Their determination and ability were a decisive factor in Pawnee's victories. Seemingly all alone. Junior Kenny Bowman got the ball back into play where All-Conf. Team Members Steve, Charlie, and John D. headed It toward the basket. 66-67 SCHEDULE P.c. Weeping Water 75-62 P.c.
