During the course of our grade school life we were Joined by Duane Neilsen, Emery Burgess, from McCool, Ronnie Schinzel, from District 67, Pal Lyon from Omaha, and Donna Addison from Osceola, the later having been lost at the end of the eighth year. Now that we had completed grade school we were ready to become more dignified and begin our high school career.When we enrolled in high school September 19I4.7 we were joined by eight new members from the rural schools. They were Dale Lucas, Virginia Alt, Kathleen Kuhnel, Jlee and Jnel Miller, Lois Carter, Norma Jean Gable, Mary Lou Fyfe, and Lavonne Dinges, who in the earlier part of the year moved to Osceola. On October 21 we welcomed Janet Coleman of North Loup, Nebraska, to our freshmen class. As usual we were greeted by the mighty seniors who extended us a most dreadful but cordial welcome 2 After that we were ready to settle down to business. We first elected class officers as follows: president, Ronnie Schinzel; vice-president. Pal Lyon; secretary and treasurer,Emery Burgess; sponsor, Harold Haberman. Our subjects for the year were general mathematics under Coach Haber- man, general science and English 9 under Mrs. Ruby Young, and world geog- raphy under Miss Mamie Ryan. Outstanding events of the year were a wie- ner roast at Sokol s Lake and a party in the gymnasium. Graduating from the title of green freshies the beanies and puzzled looks were cast aside and we took on the intelligent look of upper class- men. Our roll consisted of sixteen members sponsored by Mr. Boyd. Jack Houdersheldt who came from Columbus was the only newcomer to our class that year. After about a week we elected the following class officers : Janet Coleman, president; Jack Houdersheldt,vice-president; Pal Lyon, sec- The subjects set before us were English 10, biology, world history, and algebra. The faculty members for this year were superintendent, Glen Tabor; principal, Luvern Cunningham; Coach Haberman, Mrs. Ruby Young, and Richard Boyd. Outstanding events of the year were a wiener roast and treasurer hunt, a roller skating party, and an opportunity for a number of us to be wait- ers and waitresses at the junior-senior banquet. Returning the next fall to become Jolly juniors,we were absent three members, Duane Neilsen, who quit school, Mary Lou Fyfe, who moved to Pine Bluffs Wyoming, and Janet Coleman, who moved to Ord, Nebraska. Class officers for the year were: president, Emery Burgess; vice- president, Kathleen Kuhnel; secretary, Norma Jean Gable; treasurer, Jlee Miller; and student council representative, Jnel Miller. Mr. Boyd again was our sponsor. Courses offered this year were algebra III under Coach Haberman;book- keeping and typing under Mr. Boyd; English under Mrs. Young; and M.S. his- tory under Mr. Tietjen. The most important activities during our Junior year were the arrival of class rings, the junior-senior banquet which featured a rose garden theme, and the class play, Watch out for Spooks presented in the gymna- sium November 15� 19V?. Members of the play cast were Ronnie Schinzel, Jack Houdersheldt, Gail Gonnerman, Dale Lucas, Lois Carter, Norma Gable, Jlee and Jnel Miller, Pal Lyon, Kathleen Kuhnel, Virginia Alt, and Marlene Krebsbach. i r Ll Finally we became the mighty seniors of '51. Class officers for the final year were president, Dale Lucas; vice-president, Emery Burgess, who later in the year quit school,and Ronnie Schinzel was elected to fill the office; secretary, Virginia Alt; treasurer, Pal Lyon; and student council representative, Jlee Miller. This year nev courses introduced in the school were vocational ag. and home economics. The faculty for this year was superintendent Richard Boyd; principal, Mrs. Young, English and Journalism teacher;Alfred TietJen,history teacher;� Mrs. Boyd, typing and speech teacher; Coach Haberman, geometry teacher; Wallace Steiglemeyer, vocational ag. teacher; and Mrs. Alta Bland, home economics teacher. Some memories of this outstanding year were the freshmen mixer, the arrival of name cards and announcements, the senior pictures taken in Co- lumbus, the compiling of the annual, the Junior-senior banquet, the senior play, SNEAK DAY, and of course, recognition, baccalaurette, and Commence- ment. Thus we conclude the history of our high school career. CLASS PROPHECY It is the year of 1965,that I, Kathleen Kuhnel, decide to take a long vacation and to look up my old classmates of '51 • I pack myself into my Supersonic Atomic Cadillac and rocket off to New York City. One evening while there I decide to attend a roller skating tournament at Madison Square Garden. Whom do I see but Lois Carter, as the main performer. She is competing with Gloria Nord for the world's championship crown. Lois al- ways did spend most of her time at a roller skating rink. From New York I start west. As I grow tired of the scenery, I decide to tune in on my television set, recently installed in my Cadillac. As station XYZ becomes clear, I see an opera program. Look It isn't.' J J.' Yes, it is Norma Jean Gable singing her favorite song, I Didn't Know the Gun Was Loaded. After miles of rocketing along, my attention is drawn to the surround- ing country. It seems strangely familiar, though I cannot tell why. Then before my very eyes I see a sign along the road. It reads Shelby, popu- lation 2 million. Well, if it isn't my own home town.' The same town I had grown up in. It seems that the town has grown up a little too. Sud- denly I hear a sputtering noise coming from my Supersonic Atomic Cadillac and discover that I am out of atomic energy. Quickly I dart into a near by neat station. And what a station.' As the attendant steps out I find she is none other than, ray old classmate, Marlene Krebabach. I chat a- while with Marlene about the good old school days. It seems that the sta- tion was formerly run by her father, but since Marlene attracted more at- tention he let her take over. Marlene tells me that Gail Gonnerman is still a bachelor, so I go to the north part of town to look him up. I find he is raising hundreds of cattle on his farm,and is one of the prize winning farmers in Polk County. As I speed through Osceola, on my way to points farther west, I stop to ask a man if he knows where Pal Lyon lives. He tells me, so I hurry out to a farm and go to the house. I knock, nobody answers, I knock again. still no answer Maybe she isn't home. I go to the car and blow my ener- getic atom horn. This brings results. From the barn comes a woman carry- ing two pails, brimming over with milk. I look again and sure enough it is my schoolmate, Pal Lyon. That is a farmers wife's life you know, and she married a farmer. On farther west I go, and into Wyoming. I see so many ranches, I de- cide I would like to see what a ranch is really like. I stop at a huge ranch house. I go up to the door and knock and knock. Finally someone hollers What do ya want?” I turn around, and to my surprise I see Lee Miller, now Lee Gabel. It seems as if she had talked Eugene into buy- ing this ranch. She always did like to ride horses. She tells me that she spends most of her time breaking horses. After a delicious supper of pork and beans I left for points south. As I speed over the high mountains of Colorado, I begin to feel ill, so when I arrive in Denver, I go to a clinic to get something for the ef- fect of altitude. As I enter the building a cute littl nurse comes smil- ingly toward me. She tells me to open my mouth, stick out my tongue, and she slips a thermometer under my tongue. After regaining my composure I see that it is Nel Miller. She still is single, but said she hoped to get hitched” to one of the doctors in the hospital. From Colorado I go to California. As I go slowly past the University of Southern California campus, I see a face that looks strangely familiar. I stop. He looks my way. Yes, it is Ronnie Schinzel. He tells me he is dean of the science college there. It seems the A's he got in high school achieved for him a great deal. While in Los Angeles I decide to go down to the beach at Santa Monica for a swim. As I am walking along the ocean front I see a photographer taking pictures of bathing beauties. He looks vaguely familiar so I ask a life guard who this photographer is. He tells me it is Dale Lucas. I am indeed greatly surprised and naturally take time to go over to chat with him. He surely did go a long way from the days he was in high school. By this time ray Cadillac is getting worn out so I sell it in Califor- nia and take a plane to Florida. As the hostess tightens my safety belt, I look up to ask a question and recognize my old classmate, Virginia Alt. She was always talking about being an airline hostess in our high school days. When I arrive in Miami I notice a handsome man waiting anxiously at the airport. He looks worried. He comes rushing toward me and asks if the famous movie star, Elizabeth Taylor was not on that plane. After get- ting a good look at him, I see it is my old classmate. Jack Houdersheldt. I did not have time to talk to him long because he was in a great rush to get a big society news story into the leading daily paper of Miami. After a gay time In Florida I decide to return to ray duties as a clerk. The pleasant time I had seeing all of my old classmates of 1951 and talking over with them the good times in S.H.S., will long be remembered. THE EPITAPH OF THE CLASS OF '51 (After Goldsmith) Here lie the good seniors whose genius was such We scarcely can blame it or praise it too much; Who, born for distinction, perfected their mind And,fraught with all learning,gave joy to mankind. They were equal to all things,for nothing unfit. They were pleased with their culture and proud of their wit. They are missed by their classmates, their tea- chers as well. Who their virtues and wisdom now tearfully tell. They died of brain fever, brought on by delight. In their fourth year of age on commencement night. They are glad to be gone to a new world,alack ! I If we could when we pleased, we'd not whistle them back. But let us be candid and speak out our mind. Their equal as students 'twill be hard to find. And in peace may they lie, our good seniors, who now Have taken their finals and made their last bow. (selected)• I r THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1951 We, the class of 1951 of Shelby High School, County of Polk, Stat of Nebraska, aged twelve years, of sound mind and memory, having duly con- sidered the uncertainties of further union, and the unerring certainty of separation, do make and establish this our last will and testament First, to the underclassmen we leave the peace and quiet that always reigned in our classrooms. To the seniors of 1952 we leave our home room in hopes that they do get it along with our sponsor Mrs. Boyd. To the juniors we leave our ability to pay attention. To the sophomores we leave our gentle ways of going to and from classes. To the poor little freshles we leave all our books and pencils. Second, we bequeath our most prized personal possessions as follows: Virginia Alt leaves her ability to flirt to Beverly Rosenberry. Lois Carter leaves her roller-skating ability to Coach Haberman. Norma Jean Gable leaves her ability to drive a Plymouth to Bonnie Kinnaird. To Jerome Reisdorf, Gail Gonnerman leaves his gift of gab. To Bill Ray, Jack Houdersheldt leaves his ability to staying just calm. To Fat Jones, Marlene Krebsbach leaves her every day smiles. To Ronnie Smith, Pal Lyon leaves her ability to go steady.

Young r 1 (I r 1 I i « JUNIOX CLASS Wearing the name of upper classmen, the juniors started the school term with great anticipation of new activities and responsibilities. The first great thrill of the year for them was the receiving of the class rings. Since they had had the pleasant experience of giving a one act play for the P.T.A. in their sophomore year, they waited eagerly to put on their Junior play Cornin' Round The Mountain. Many humorous in- cidents and characterizations in this play will make it one they will not soon forget. The major event of their junior year was of course the Junior-Senior Banquet, which calls for detailed planning,—the picking of the banquet theme, the decorating, the planning of the menu and program, all these, and then, finally, the banquet itself which was a gala and joyful evening.

A SCENE FROM THE JUNIOR PLAY 1 1 i SOPHOMORE CLASS After being promoted from Mgreen freshies , the sophomores entered the year 1950 finding their work much more difficult. The class of � 53 is one of the most active classes in the high school. Almost one hundred percent of the girls are in music, and all but two of the eleven boys are in athletics. They won first prize on their float at the homecoming of 1950, and it was from their class that three cheerlead- ers were elected by popular vote. Their sponsor is Mr. Tietjen.

ACTIVITY ON THE SOPHOMORE FLOAT Tl 'i r ■ fiUSHMEjN CLASS The freshmen, after getting over their shyness and the dread of the mixer, soon became well acquainted with the rest of the school and were ready to cope with any situation. Among the activities of their year, in addition to the mixer, was the roller skating party in the Rising City rink to which they invited many other students. The parties of the second semester, however,became more strictly true freshmen parties. Among these parties was a theatre party and a party held at the home of their sponsor, Mrs. Young, (Left to right, rop row) Donna Tomasavicz, Margie Scholz, Sharon Knight, Gary Conrad, Jerome Reisdorff, Beverly Rosenberry, Betty Lees.

The main activities in this room have been finger painting, model- ing with clay, working at the easel,freehand paintings,block building, and bead stringing, activities which taught the children how to count as well as how to recognize colors. 1st and 2nd Interest in nature seemed to run high in the first and second grade room. Because the collection of cocoons, grasshoppers, spiders, and flow- ers grew to such a size, the children constructed a building to display their contributions. The first graders felt grown when they were initiated by the four second graders in the usual round of activities. Education week, outdoor excursions, the Christmas program, and Auditorium time were among their most enjoyed experiences. 1 I r ILeft to right, front row; DeeAnne Conrad, Carol Vachal,Richard Wom- bacher, Sharon Abbott, Deanna Thelen, Gregg Abbott, Larry Thomas, Margie Ransom.

This has been an annual affair for the children. Science seems to be the most interesting class in the third and fourth grade room. Many experiments were conducted during the year. The making of a rock collection was the room's liviest activity. The third graders, after learning the names of the months, made book- lets with freehand drawings in them, illustrating each month. A project of weaving baskets was also enjoyed by the children and this activity gave them an opportunity use the table of measurement. This group also learned to dance the Virginia Reel and cleverly pre- sented the dance in costume at a P.T.A. meeting. One of the best liked units of study in the fifth and sixth classroom was the study of North American Indians. During this study and Indian ex- hibit was held, showing the tools, weapons, pottery, and different types of dress of the Indians. Probably the most important study taken up in this room was that of learning the use of an encyclopedia and other reference books needed for special reports. Among the activities in this room during the year was the doll show arranged by the girls. On display were bride dolls, story book dolls, and dolls of foreign countries. Under the direction of the editor-in-chief, Nellie Raye Cox, the fifth and sixth graders have, during the year, edited a newspaper, as an English project. The girls of this room became quite efficient baton twirlers during this year; the boys, snappy” basketball players. Coach Haberman directed the boys in basketball and several games were played with other towns. Probably the most novel experience of the year was their singing 7 tape recording, over the Columbus broadcasting station . The Junior Hi Club was organized by the seventh and eighth graders early in the year. Officers elected were president, Keith Walden; vice- president, Ann Kosch; secretary, Betsy Reeder. The main object of this club was to learn parliamentary law. In connection with their studies, the children in this room developed a set of maps of the United States showing the state birds, flowers, dates of admission to the union, and the post marks used in each state. A field trip was taken in October, to identify and study different plants and secure materials for winter bouquets. Art work during the year was centered around Aztec Indian designs. Designs of the Indians were studied and applied with pottery made of paper mache and of clay. Junior-Hi basketball team did not have a very triumphant year. They had two games, both with Gresham. The score for the first game was 32 to If, the second, 27 to 9� L i r i Shelby High ended the 1950 football season with only one victory to its credit. The team had lost eight first string players through gradua- tion in 1950. Although each of this year's players did his best, his best was not enough to make an, impressive record. The Huskies won over Dwight Assumption 2l . to 12 in a down pouring rain. Their worst defeat came after the long trip to Platte Center, where they were downed 53 to 0. With the loss of but three senior boys from the football team through graduation in 5l and with six junior prospects,Shelby is looking forward to a stronger football team in 1951 Fourteen boys,having met the requirement of participating in at least eight quarters of football, received football letters this year, among them one freshman, Dwayne Harms, and four sophomores, Charles Gabel, Paul Rosenberry, Louis Whitmore, and Jack Conrad. Upper class letter awards went to Rex Trout, Dale Rosenberry, Roger Scow, Dick Glatter, Bob Logan, Darrell Leh, of the Junior class, and Jack Houdersheldt, Emery Burgess,and Dale Lucas of the senior class. Bill Houdersheldt, a junior, was awarded a letter as student manager.

The highlight of the season was the defeat of Polk by Shelby, 3to 33 on the Shelby home court. Other games won by the Huskies were the games with Wolbach and Thayer. This was the first year that Shelby had played either of these teams and we hope that If we continue to play them, we can always defeat them. Ronnie Schinzel with l66 points, and Dick Glatter with llj.8 points , led the Shelby scoring this year.

Fifteen girls made up the G.A.A. class under the instruction of Mrs. Young. To develop sportsmanship and co-operation was their sole purpose. In all their games they played fairly and had fun. In the fall they stayed outdoors to play semi-soccer. This was a new game to the girls and proved to create a lot of aching muscles. When the weather grew colder they went to the gym to play volleyball. With the able help of Coach Haberman and Mrs. Young the girls soon became good players. On January 2l . they played Ulysses, only to lose their first game 53 to 31« Nancy LaMunyon made 20 points, making her high point girl. With more confidence, the girls played the Thayer girls and came out on top by a score of 35 to 2l±. Pal Lyon and JoAnn Treadway tied with 7 points each as high scorers. The game with Polk on February 20 ended with a score of 55 to 5 In Shelby s favor. JoAnn Treadway, the captain, made 19 points; Norma Jean Gable, 13« On February 23 the girls played Osceola, winning by a score of to II4.. Norma Jean Gable made Hj. points; Nancy La Munyon, 11 points. In the spring the girls played kitten ball on fair days,and on stormy days they played badminton. These games seemed to add greater interest to G.A.A. and make the girls eager to return the next year.

The S Club Is composed of those boys who have earned letters In track, basketball, and football,and to the student manager of these activi- ties. The S Club originated in I948-I4.9 with 13 members. This year there are llj. members. The club officers for the school term of 1950-51 were Ronnie Schinzel, president; and Jack Conrad, secretary-treasurer. Initiated this year were Roger Scow, Dale Lucas,Paul Rosenberry, Dar- rell Leh, Dick Glatter, Charles Gabel, Dwayne Harms, Louis Whitmore, Bill Houdersheldt, and Jack Houdersheldt.

THE ACTIVITIES Among the most outstanding organizations of the school is the Pep Club whose prime purpose is to inspire the boys to victory in athletic contests. In addition, the aims have been to provide school spirit, to earn money for good purposes, and to serve the ' school or community when called upon. The thirty-two girls who became members of the pep club in the year 1950 to 1951 chose as presiding officers: JoAnn Treadway, president; Jlee Miller, vice-president; Kathleen Kuhnel, secretary; and Bonnie Klnnaird, treasurer. Cheerleaders, selected by popular vote, were three sophomores, Pat Jones, Pat Doty, and Alyce Gabel for the first semester. During the sec- ond semester, Bonnie Klnniard replaced Pat Jones. The attire, the same as last year, consisted of gold sweaters, black anklets and white shoes. The cheerleaders selected as their costume, gold lined black skirts, gold satin blouses, and black vests with the hieh school letters in gold. The Agriculture building was completed in 19V? but too late for a course in Vocational Agriculture for the high school; therefore a course of instruction under Mr. Steiglemeyer was offered to the veterans of for- eign wars. However, this year a course was offered to the freshmen. and sophomores, and a course to the luniors and seniors. The first year course placed emphasis on animal husbandry� and the sec- ond year course on crop production. As an accompaniment to the vocational agruculture course is an organi- zation known as the Future Farmers of America. It is a self supporting or- ganization consisting of members of the Vocational Agriculture classes dealing with the fundamentals of scientific farming.
