Here we are five old standbys Kenny Wills, Bill Buchholz, Mary Simon- sen, Lois Mytholar and Norval Augustin. We enrolled In Shelby Grade School September 6, 1938 and stuck It out for twelve years. Those who started with us were Ronnie Perry and Max Scofield but they were lost during the first three years. In the third grade we gained a new member, Bob Ho wood, from District 15 and later in the eighth grade Eugene Gabel from district 40. Now that we had finished grade school we were ready to begin our high school career. When we enrolled In high school the following September 1946, we were Joined by nine new members from the rural schools. They were Nadine Jaax, Jo Ann Taddlken, Lewis Thelen, Max Gabel, Delmar and Donald Kosch, Tom Gli- tter, Maxine Bernt and Janice Ihnen. Thus we started our first year In High School as green freshles. There were sixteen of us ready to greet any fate we met. To start It off fresh- man lnlatlon acoualnted ue with the school. After that we were ready to settle down to business. We first elected class officers. They were President, Bob HopwoodJ Vice President, 3111 Buchholz? Secretary, Nadine Jaax? Treasurer, Maxine Bernt. Our class sponsor was Miss Imogene Bland. The faculty for this year consisted of 3upt. Albert Hletbrlnk, Principal, Miss Lillie Lind, who had to resign because of Illness and was relieved by Mrs. Young later In the year. The remainder of the faculty was Miss Curry, English teacher and Coach Farrell. Our subjects consisted of General Math, English 9, World Geography, and General Science. Outstanding events of the year were a welner roast In the bluffs and an all school roller skating party In York. As we came around the bend to begin our sophomore year we were Joined by two new members, Don Walden and Georgia Treadway. This moved the mem- bership to eighteen. Later In the year Marilyn Euse came from Seattle, Washington to Join the class and boost the number to nineteen members. Al- so we had suffered the loss of one member, Janice Ihnen, who moved to Iowa so this made eighteen sophomores enrolled In Shelby High School. This year we had one new member In the faculty, Coach Haberman. Thus we had lost our former Coach Daniel Farrell. Our class officers were President, Don Walden; Vice President, Max Gabel; Secretary, Nadine Jaax; and Treasurer Bill Buchholz. Our class sponsor was Mrs. Young. Highlights of this year were class parties and the opportunity of a number of us to be waiters and waitresses for the Jun- ior-Senior Banquet. Returning In the fall to begin our Junior year we were Joined by one new member, Bernice Luft, who came from Oseeolo. This year we were greeted by a host of new teachers. They were Supt. Glenn Tabor, Principal Luverne Cunningham and Richard Boyd who taught music, Typing and Journalism. Thus we lost Miss Curry-our former English and Music Teacher. Class officers for this year were: President, Eugene Gabel; Vice Pres- ident, Don Walden; Secretary, Bill Buchholz; Treasurer, Bob Hopwood; and Student Council Represenatlve, Lewis Thelen. Once again we were’ fortunate to have Mrs. Ruby Young as our class sponsor. Some of the outstanding features of this year were the Junior Play, The All American Family, which Mrs. Young directed. And of course the Junior-Senior Banquet In which we presented the theme of the ‘49er. Thus we concluded our Junior year ••ith oi-hteen members. We lost Georgia Treadway who took an advanced course and became a senior at the beginning of the second semester. Finally we became mighty Seniors. This year we were offered Journa- lism as a credited subject. Class officers for our final yeer were President, Don Walden; Vice

Then,of course, we couldn't forget The Senior sneak day. Thus we conclude the history or the class of 1950. Get on board the new 1960 Supersonic-Atomic Convertible everybody! It's now ten years later. Let's travel far and wide In this year 1960 and look ud the mighty senior class that graduated way back In 1950. We must, of course, start at our dear ol' home town of 3helby, Nebraska. We are now driving up to a swanky streamlined gas emporium. The sign reads Gabel's Gas Statlon -Proorletor-EUGENE GABEL—and all the little Gabels. He Is a class A Studebaker dealer now and seems to be doing pr8tty well for himself. He's a happi-Lee married man and the daddy of 5 little girls In which group, strangely enough, there Is one set of twins!!!! After a little chat about old times we Journey Into the wide ranches of Wyoming. At a very large ranch we see a sign Long Bill Buch's Bull Ranch. We know of course this could be no one but our old rootln tootln western minded BILL BUCHHOLZ. We stop at a beautiful ranchhouse, and up trots a lovely pallmlno horse with Bill In the saddle. After a luscious lunch of baked beans and bacon on the patio we once again hop aboard. The scenic state of Colorado greets us next. While driving through the olty of Denver we happen to pass a beautiful college campus. Strolling casually across the campus we see a telm looking woman. Dressed In the neatest of clothes she Is about to cross the street ahead of us when screeeeeeeech------we stop for a red light---no It Isn't a red light, lt'ea whirl of red hair!!! To our utmost surprise we see It’s MARILYN EU3E. Seems It took a lot of hard study to get her that position of Dean of Col- orado State Women's College. Next we travel on to California. It Is so warm and sunny. Driving through the city of San Francisco we find our quiet and contented class- mate, MARY 3IM0NSEN. 3he Is a fashion designer for Tight Fit and Whistle Balt! (Mary seemed to be the quiet type but some of the loud colors she's been Introducing to the world are making up for It.) We find It Is cold and Is now snowing so we don our warmest coats. Seems we've been driving north for quite some time now. We are In Canada and Alaska. We find living In an Eskimo Igloo our two old faithful trap- pers DELMAR KOSCH and LEWIS THELEN. They always were discussing somebody's or some kind of a hide back In high school. As usual’the wind Is blowing pretty strong (Lewis always could tell some boners) so we chew the blubber awhile then pick up our trail once again. Journeying cross-country, we arrive In a neat, large meadowland country. After reading the road signs we find It Is Wisconsin. A large sign greets us along the paved road, Kosch1s Kow Milk —Gallons, Half-Gallons, Quarts, Pints, Half-Pints, Squirts and Sips. Lowest prices but the best milk. Fretfh dally. Gee Whiz! It couldn't be, but sure enough It Is, DON KOSCH. Seems he'e taken over the family dairy back In Nebraska but moved It to Wlscorsln. Everyone thought he and his twin brother Delmar would go ’ nto business together but their Ideas didn't click so they spilt up. Well, af- ter a chat about high school days at S.H.S. and a glass of chocolate milk
