The administration has the responsibility of seeing that the school operates efficiently. Composing our administration are Superintendent Mr. Harold Luttman and PrincipalLouis Dambrosia. These two men must see that the school is operated according to the rules and regulations set down by the school board. They must handle all disciplinary problems and must con- tinually examine the level of the curriculum being taught. The adminis- tration handles the business part of school life. Mr. Luttman, as superintendent, has the responsibility of handling all financial matters concerning the school and hiring all personel. Mr. Luttman received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Peru State College and his Masters Degree from Kansas State College, Manhattan, Kansas. Mr. Dambrosia's duties as principal include those of handling all achievement and aptitude tests and gettin students to accept their full responsibility. Mr. Dambrosia received his Bachelor of Science Degree from Midland College, his Masters Degree from Omaha University, and he is now working toward his Doctrate Degree from the University of Nebraska.

He has been teaching at Platteview for seven years. Mr. Ahl received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Peru State College and his Masters Degree from Colorado State University. Mr. Ahl teaches eighth and tenth grade Typing, Short- hand, Office Practice, and Notehana. He is, also, the sponsor of the Junior Class and the Business Club, which produces the annual each year. Mr. Ahl is the person who is responsible for the pictures appearing in this annual. This year the Business Department became fully equipped with adding, calcu- lating, dictating, transcribing machines, and comptometers. With the increased emphasis that was placed on machines and Shorthand, it is now possible for a student to be fully prepared for office work upon completion of these courses; thus eliminating the need for advance study in some business college. The department through the Business Club, keeps in contact with past graduates, then enables the school to keep those people absent of educational trends and then in turn relates to the department actual on-the-job situations. Middle right; The notehand class is busy on an assignment, but John Helwig seems to have something or someone else on his mind. Thus being their first class of the day, the students make a practice of saying Good Morning Mr. Ahl in unison as he came through the door.

Mr. Salberg has been at Platteview for the past two years. He received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Peru State College. Mr. Salberg, also, wishes to begin the work required to receive his Masters Degree in the near future. THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY LATHAM LUMBER CO.

Each has its own way of living, but all share the only known kind of structural and chemical organization that means being alive. Viruses, bacteria, life in the plant kingdom, the world of animals and man are forms of life; and these forms of life have a common basic structure. Studying the reproduction and development in lowerer plants, the diversity among animals, and the patterns of heredity in humans all add up to a tetter understanding of the balance between nature and man. (Physics is also included here because of the non-living specimens of matter that exist in the atmosphere.) The science courses are designed especially for the young mind to acquire a tetter understanding of himself and his environment. Mr. L at ley is pictured above working on an experiment.

After a wiener roast and many hay fights, they headed back to Platteview for their departure home. Later in the year, they went on a second class party.

DO YOU RECALL,... On that hot day of August 31, the priv- ileged Junior Class walked into Platteview High School to begin another year of torture. There wasn't much to do right off, but gradually they began their first activity which was the responsibility of the Home-Coming celebration for October 2, 1964. Everyone had an enjoyable time dancing to the music of the Central High Band. Later on during the year they sponsored a dance which had a very good turnout with lots of reported riots from the inmates. Next came a car wash and due to the lack of facilities at the grade school part of the car wash took place at Linda Iske s place. In all everybody had a grand time even if they did get soaking wet. In February they had a bake sale which was a big treat with everybody gaining at least five more pounds. During the bake sale Mr. Ahl was showing the junior class some acrobatic tricks using the counter and fell flat on his face. Everybody stood their laughing except one who was trying to regain his breath. The coming of spring found the juniors preparing for the Junior-Senior Prom. Work began months before. Plans were made, altered, and realtered. After all the planning and preparation, the day came when the juniors could sit back and watch with antici- pation the expression on the faces of the seniors as they saw for the first time the results of hard work to put on an exciting prom to be remembered. They rounded the year off by four rep- resentatives of the class leading the seniors to graduation. THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY TOM CO GENETIC GIANT 35 No Mr. Clean for Betty West and Bob Yunag.

Not pictured was Vice-President Rodney Nielsen. The thirty-eight seniors started out their final year at Platteview and high school with the hopes of obtaining a few memories of the joys and heart- aches of failing or passing that final step into the hard, cruel world. They, started out by having a class party. The main attractions of the evening were to go to Ross's Steak House to eat and then travel on to see the movie Roustabouts . As the year rolled on the announcements were ordered, and they were measured for caps and gowns. It was decided that the colors of the class would be blue and white. The girls wore white robes and the boys wore blue. The class motto We enter to learn and depart to serve proved to be very meaningful. During the course of the year, Mr. Ray's government class, and both English classes were the basis of many discussions. As time proceeded to move on at a fast clip, the seniors awaited with anticipation the arrival of the announcements. Finally they came. The next thing you knew, the seniors were getting the autographs of their fellow classmates, friends, and teachers. All were racking their brains trying to think of something to say that would be meaningful and yet leave a memory for years to come. The last class party the seniors would ever enjoy as a group took place on a Sunday afternoon. They took part in bowling, and that night went on a hay- rack ride and a picnic. After many vicious hayfights and shoe-throwing contests, the seniors departed with memories of a day to be remembered. The prom also proved to be very exciting and a memorable occasion. The last two weeks seemed to be the saddest of all the days in their high school careers.Commencement exer- cises drew closer and finally arrived. With tearful eyes and a last handshake each was on his separate way to seek his fortune by the sweat of his brow.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council held many various activities this year. One of the first acti- vities they held was to sponsor a dance. They also sold pennants at football games. They attended the Student Council Convention held in Fremont. During the year they passed the Industrial Art Club constitution and gave their permission to establish the club. One of the major projects of the Council was the beginning of the scoreboard fund. (They gave the first donation to this fund.) The Student Council attended a dinner at the Conigalias Vense Inn. Mr. Hansen, the superintendent of Westside High School, was the guest speaker. The final business of the council was the election of the Student Council President. TH.s PAGE sponsored sv CHRISTINE S.

The members acted as hosts to the students and parents that attended career night. A Christmas dance was sponsored and Trojan lapel pins sold by the members. At the end of the year a dinner was held at the Fireside. This year the society held two installations for new members. Both installations were held at night in order to enable parents to attend. New members installed this year were: Kay Cameron, John Knapp, and Rodney Nielsen. Full membership was conferred upon those persons who were only provisional members last year. Provisional members this year are Gary Erhart and Allen Bestman. Kay and John light their candles at the symbolic torch ot truth as Rita administers the oath of the National Honor Society.

BUSINESS CLUB An active organization in Platteview this year was the Business Club. A number of new members joined at the beginning of the school year. To become a member they had to have a B average. They were also asked to sell a page in the annual and write a brief paragraph on some type of business. The Business Club had a money raising project this year for the annual. This project was selling magazines. Some of the members received very nice prizes for working so hard on this. The Business Club has an annual dinner each year for the old and new members. This year they were unable to hold this dinner because of the inclement weather and other extenuating cir- cumstances.

The officers are Pres- ident Lorraine Selk, Vice President Anna Bochnicek, Secretary Nancy Re itz, Treasurer Vicki Gosch, and Merit Officer Loretta Krajicek. The Pep Club started off the football and basketball seasons by selling candy, popcorn, and hot dogs in the new concession stand built for the P-Club and the Pep Club by the shop boys. With the profits from the combined seasons they put on a very successful Athletic Banquet. All this could not have been possible without the help of the Pep Club sponsor Mrs. Sayers. Mr. Sayers also helped by making a Trojan head for us which we set in the middle of the gym for pep rallies. this page sponsored by CITY LOCKER AND KRE1FELS' POULTRY Pep Cluit Diane Ingram, Carol Seibold and Allen Bessman really seem to be thrilled with that last maneuver.

SPORTS BANQUET This year, April first was not only a day of practical jokes for the students and faculty of Platteview, but also the date of the annual Sports Banquet sponsored by the Pep Club. After the delicious meal, Jim Krambeck started the serious business of the evening by giving the welcoming speech. Toastmaster for the evening was Mr. Robert Iske. Coach Brandenburg intro- duced the speaker, Mr. Robert Gates, assistant basketball coach at the University of Nebraska. After Mr. Gates finished his entertaining talk, Coach Salberg presented the football letters and awards. Volleyball, basketball and Pep Club awards were then presented by Miss Johnson, Coach Brandenburg and Mrs. Sayer respectively. Mrs. Sayer also announced the names of the cheerleaders for the 65-66 school year. They are Allen Bestman, Nancy Harder, Jeanie Latham, Wanda Moore, and Diane Ingram. Mr. Wollenburg then announced that the track awards would be given at a later date. Following the announcement, Loretta Krajicek thanked everyone for coming.

A little over a week later, the band made a trip to Grand Island where they receiv- ed a trophy for their exhibition at the Harvest of Harmonies Festival. The next month, on November 7, members of the marching band performed for the first time in competition at Pershing Audito- rium and received a rating of excellent. In addition to their contest work, the band performed a show during the half time of all home football games. Extra honors were bestowed on Carol Seibold and Brad Joern.

Slumber party, yes; quiet, no! It was rumored that there was a prowler in the neighborhood. Well one of the girls thought it would be a good idea to have two of the boys to come over and keep guard outside, while they were slumbering, inside. Meanwhile a colored lady, who was a cook at the house, threatened to leave because she was positive that she saw someone in the kitchen. As time marches on, everyone got things all mixed up, and the prowler was running around in the house!! The corner cop comes to save the day, or should it be night, when he puts the old hand cuffs on the prowler and hauls him off to jail. That was one slumber party no one will ever forget!!!

HERB MANN es Rodney Neilson can't ngure out what Lorraine is going to do next. While Carol Siebold discusses her plans with Rita Randels. Those ghosts look like they have just about had it. Synopsis How do you dislodge the gentle ghost of your grand-aunt from the house you have inherited. And when she is still running the high school where you've been hired as principal, how do you take over? And when the whole town believes in her, and you'r a modern young man who doesn't accept the old- fashioned idea of ghosts, how do you handle the situation? These are the problems that faced a young man and his wife when they arrived at the young man's old home town of Green Falls, Vermont. Louise Patterson and Cindy Zimmerman are kept busy behind stage with the make-up. As you can see Ron Hansen is getting the full treatment, and it looks like the girls are thoroughly enjoying themselves. Can the same be said for Ron Hansen? Meanwhile Lorraine Selk is adding the finishing touches. Jim Harder seems engrossed in Phyllis Keyes's problems and Rodney Neilson looks like he couldn't care less. 70 VALENTINE TEA The Third Annual Valentine Tea was held on February 18, 1965, at the Platteview Cafetorium. The stage, decorated with mannequins, sewing machines (a familiar sight to e ver y- one), and sewing equipment, provided the background as the Advanced Home - Ec. girls modeled their dresses and home projects. Skirts and blouses were made and modeled by the freshman girls, and the eighth grade girls modeled their bathrobes and aprons. After the Style Show, the Home- Ec. students, their mothers, faculty wives, and Mrs, Sayer enjoyed a social time, eating the refreshments prepared by the girls. Also available for inspection were sketches of the dresses made by the junior girls, as well as centerpieces, displayed by the seventh grade. Sign here instructs Barbara Hanes as one of the mothers register. Nancy Harder, Frances Sedlacek, and Kathy Bargar make the finishing touches. No, Nancy, you are supposed to use the comb for your hair.

REMEMBER THESE, 9 009000000000o JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM The Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom was held May 8, in the cafetorium. The evening started off with a banquet, pictured above. The guests enjoyed the meal, served in the atmosphere of the Terrace °0IThev danced until one o'clock to the beat of the Jaguars. Later the Juniors and Seniors watched the three movies and ate a harty breakfast fixed by Mr. Luttman and several parents. Jim Selk as Elvis and Jean Latham as Ann Margaret performed their duet. Faith Eichner was the jazzy cigarette girl .

Below, left to right, are Platteview High's own Joan Baly--Lynne Smith, Petula Clark who is known locally as Linda Reitz, and Allan Sherman II who is better known as Mike Krambeck. Norma Iske as Mitzi Gaynor sang Honeybun from South Pacific. Don Cannon, alias Bobby Darin, showered us with Splish Splash. Gary Erhart portrayed Bob Newhart in a skit about a student driver (a woman, of course). John Erhart pantomimed Bill Cosby's comedy routine. MEMORIES AND Watch the birdie now!

Not only was this game memorable because the Trojans over- whelmingly beat the Millard Indians, our first football victory in three years. At half-time, after a special per- formance was given by the band, the queen candidates: Carol Seibold, Linda Schneider, and Loretta Krajicek were driven onto the football field by Mr. Ray, Mr. Sayer, and Mr. Hippe. King candidates Jim K ram beck, Larry Golda, and Jim Harder also waited on the field in their uniforms. Last year's queen, Carol Adair, crowned the 1964 queen Loretta Krajicek. Larry Golda was crowned by last year's king, Steve Eichner. The Bonfire Pep Rally was held Thursday, the night before Home- coming. The cheerleaders and pep band helped to instill the enthusiasm and spirit into the players and the student body. One of the high points was when a dummy of a Millard Indian was burned at the stake by the Trojans, a remarkable foresight. A snake dance then erupted as students danced around the bonfire. Most of the students then went home to get a good rest before the big night. Although Homecoming is con- sidered a semi-formal event, many of the girls dressed in a slightly more casual trend. However, many beautiful corsages, dresses, and new hairdos made the scene in the cafetorium. Faculty members, students, and alumni danced to the versatile music of the Central High Dance Band. Queen candidate Linda Schneider is escorted to the field in one of the good-looking convertibles. Loretta and Larry pose after their crowning. 80 Carol Seibold is driven off the field by Mr. Ray.

To often, the fans fail to realize that the main job of a coach is to impress upon the members of the team the fact that it is not whether you win or lose the game that counts; but whether you can walk off the floor and truthfully say I played my best and 1 played according to the ruies. This year Coach Brandenburg definitely ful- filled this large responsibility.
