Coming from rural schools were the other six freshmen: Barbara Coffin from District Number 1; Donna Jean Eller,52; Norman Gabel, 15; Eugene Bern II4.; Gerald Hopwood and Audrey Kallenbach from District 67. At the beginning of the Soph- omore year, Gary Bemis, from Rising City High School, .loined the class, and at the beginning of the junior year, Eileen Lin- ton, from Gresham High School, came to Shelby. Since both girls from the Shelby Elementary School,Marian Ransom and Betsy Reeder, left Shelby in their junior year, this is probably the first class to be graduated from Shelby Hl£i without any students from the Shelby district itself. 8 CLASS PROPHECY 31+97 West Street Tampa, Florida May 13, 1970 Dear Audrey, In reply to your letter ask- ing me about our classnates and their professions, I am happy to say that I visited with most of them recently at an Alumni Banquet. Sorry you were unable to come to it. I guess Barbara Coffin, now THE MRS. JEROME REISDORFF, is kept pretty busy taking care of husband and children. Barb has five red-headed sons. Barb always did have an eye for those red-heads. I was more than pleased to see Donna Eller appear in a nurse's uniform. When I ques- tioned Donna as to where she was working, she told me she was now head nurse for a brain specialist in New York City. Seems as though she would get awfully lonesome in such a big city, but she told me she has never a lonesome moment. No Sir.' Not as long as Norman Gabel has an Art Gallery in the Bronx. She also informed me that at the present time Mr. Gabel is over in Paris where his much-wanted pictures are on display. I was surely glad to hear that Norman has put his talent to use. I guess that a wed- ding isn't too far away,by the looks of Donna's ring. Norman always did have a gigantic crush on Miss Eller. Eugene Bernt stuck around his hometown, Shelby, I under- stand. He has a big 640 acre farm, and to top it all off, he even hasitall fenced in white. I guess he farms it all by him- self too. Imagine how you'd feel living on a big farm like that, and having it fenced in white.' Bud always did go for farms in a big way. Sounds as if most of the Class of '55 have their dreams more than fulfilled. As for me, well, I've been pretty busy myself. I gradu- ated from the Miami College a year ago, and Just moved to Tam- pa, where I will teach in the high school. Moving can be quite a Job, and I got myself rather worked up about it,but I wouldn't have needed to because I had one of Gerald Hopwood's vans move me. Jerry has a van-line known all over the United States.The van-line business must be pretty good because as I understand, Jerry has retired from eva'ything but the directorship. I'm very anxious for next week to come. Gary Bemis, now a jazz band leader, is coming to our town. When Gary isn't jazzing up the town, he is off taking care of his large Black Angus herd. I guess his dreams have come true too. Well, I guess that takes care of every one but you. How do you like your full time job? I'll bet being a secretary is a job, let alone taking care cf your two children, but ItLL bet you enjoy every minute of it. As I'm all out of news, I will bring this to a close, hoping to hear again from you soon. With love, Eileen P.S.I surely hope you and your hubby can come to our wedding. Howard and I have set the date as early in June,only two mon- ths off. Spectator Editor Eileen Linton Business Manager Barbara Coffin Annual Editor Audrey Kallenbach 9 CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1955 of the city of Shelby, county of Polk, and state of Nebraska, being of feeble mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any will or wills heretofore made by us.

I, Audrey Kallenbach, will my ability to play volleyball to Shirley Paulsen. I, Eileen Linton, bequeath my music talent to JoAnnScholz. To the teachers, we, the Seniors, leave memories of our good behavior in school.

The Senior Class of 55 BANQUET MEMORIES 1954 Mexican Theme Carried Out Dancing to Eddie Garner's Band Seiiors and Serioritas A Day in Mexico was the theme selected for the Junior- Senior Banquet Aoril 28, 195U.

A great day In Shelby High for the Junior Class was the day when their class rings came. They excitedly passed the news to all the members of the class that their rings had arrived, and before long oh's and ah's of admiration were heard in every corridor. Another highlight of their year was the presentation of the Junior play, M'Llssa, Nov- ember 12. Eleven members of the class participated in the play. They olayed before one of the largest audiences in the history of Shelby high class plays. The grand finale of the activities of this classoccur- ed in the springtime when they played hosts to the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Ban- quet and Prom. 11 THE SOPHOMORES FOLLOW ALONG Back Row-Mr. Ferguson, Soonsor; Benny Thelen, Donnie Wombacher, Bernard Haskins, Larry Daum, Gary Abbott.

HIGH-LIGHTS OF THE GRADE SCHOOL YEAR The Christmas play, Santa's Toy Shop, will possibly always be remembered by the kinder garten children. Songs,rhthmic actions, and play acting in costumes was thoroughly enjoyed by them when they gave the play, once for their Mothers, and again for the first and second graders. The play was centered around Santa, who tried out all the toys to see if they worked. The animal proJectwhich was carried on in the first and second grade room was probably the most enjoyable event of the year in that room. A clay project on beavers was made and the sandbox in their room displayed the animals that hi- bernate in the winter. Live specimens of snail, fish, tad- poles, and turtles were also displayed. The making of paper mache' animals high-lighted the year in the third and fourth grade room. Rach pupil made the an- imal of his choice and then painted it with his choice of colors. The unit on the Days of Chivalry was an enjoyable ac- tivity in the fifth and sixth grade room this year. Drawings of castles were made, and a castle was constructed from boxes. A field trip to museums in Lincoln high-lighted the yesr for the seventh and eighth grades. The grades went to Lincoln by bus, and while there visited the State Capitol, His- torical Museum, and the State Historical Society. 15 WE ENJOY ALL ATHLETICS Back row-Eueene Reisdorff, Gary Abbot, Myron Heimer, Jerry Peterson, Bernard Haskins, Larry Daum, Donald Wombacher, Coach Ferguson Front row-Kenneth Kuhnel, Larry Augustine, Ronald Vakoc, Gary Bemis, Richard Rller, Benny Thelen, Dennis Prell How did you get so dirty Myron?

CHORAL ROBES APPRECIATED Both girls and boys showed an interest in vocal music this past year. With a mixed cho- rus, Junior chorus, and girls glee club to choose from, every interested student found the proner grouptovhich to belong. The mixed chorus and the girls glee club contributed several selections to the con- cert at Christmas time. Groups have sung between acts at class plays, and have entertained civic groups. Mr. Vander Hamm, the direc- tor, comments that all groups have progressed very well this year and a large number of stu- dents have shown their desire to do solo work. The PTA saw the need for new robes for the vocal groups so in the spring of 195C they purchased 20 robes in maroon with white collars. 21 SONGSTERS BLEND THEIR VOICES Back Row-Donnle Wombacher, Larry Funkhouser, Howard Whitmore, Gene Scow, Keith Walden, Bernard Haskins, Ronnie Vokac, Benny Thelen.
