Royal colors of the class of ’28, Long and proudly will they wave, Telling of our deeds so gay and glorious. I. In the fall of 1924 a peppy gang of Freshmen entered the St. Edwa d High School determined to make our years through High School a shining pathway of glory. Miss Mitchell was given the responsibility of guiding our tender vears through the intricate maze cf the Freshman term, and we entrusted our affairs of state to William Jackson, as President, whose aide-decamps were Glenn Birkby, Vice President; Genevieve Rominger, Secretary-Treasurer; Arthur Weidner, Yell Leader; Aubrey Allen, Alice Lister, Maroon Reporters. The first taste of glory after the presentment of the Purple and the Cream, which, by the way. was a solemn and decorous entrance into high school life and made us feel very proud to be S. E. H. S. students, was the Declamatory contest in which two of our members received first and second places in the humorous class. Some of our number were included in the high school orchestra, and as a class a fair showing was made at the annual Maroon and Beaver contests. Beyond the social whirl of parties (of which there were many), the most of us found time to pile up enviable records along scholastic lines. The feeling of a class spirit and co-oneration grew and grew—“jest like Topsv”—and before be were aware of it all—hocus pocus! We were Sophomores, giddy and gay! II. The Sophomore year, which is usually a dull slump for most classes, proved the exception for the class of ’28. Mr. Frank Martin assumed the sponsorship at this time, and the class elected the following officers: President, Mel Jackson ; Vice-President, Genevieve Rominger; Secretary-Treasurer, Ernest Gorr; Yell Leaders, Arthur Weidner, William Jackson : Maroon Reporters, Aubrey Allen, Alice Lister. We took an active part in the Maroon and Beaver crntests, had a goodly number enter in the basket ball and track squads, and successfully raised more than any other class for the Carnival Fund, through the operation of a Japanese Tea Room, a minstrel, ard other concessions. We placed two winners in the Declamatory contest, one of which was awarded first in the sub-district meet and third in the district. A number also attended the scholastic contest at Wayne. A merry roundelay of parties in addition to the grind of studies made this year one of the best remembered—perhaps the most notorious party being the little “affair” at “Dugan’s.” Forbidden fruits are sweetest! 192 8 2?rhe BEAVEP s £ III Our sponsor as Juniors was Mr. Frank Martin, who had so successfully piloted us as Sophies. Officers for the year were: President, Ernest Gorr; Vice-President, Aubrey Allen; Secretary-Treasurer, Ida Bennett; Maroon Reporters, Ida Bennett, Arthur Weidner. A council of four Juniors helped manage our governmental affairs that year. Our number had increased by eight, who came in from the various country schools and who rapidly became loyal and true classmates. The high spots in the Junior year were varied and many. There was the successful class play, “The Road to the City,” a rip-roaring melodrama crammed to the brim with pistol shots, jewel thieves, refreshing laughter and homely pathos; the Junior-Senior banquet, held amid quaint Holland scenes and tulip flower gardens; the winning of third place in the Scholastic contest, somewhat of a disappointment, to be sure, but a spur and goal for us as Seniors; the sponsoring of the Harmonica contest; participating of the boys in the grand oP sport of basket ball, and what honors they brought home!; the starting of a new tradition, that of waiting until we were Seniors to purchase class rings. IV. In 1927 we entered the Senior year thirty-two strong. Miss Zella Scriven was given the honorable post as Senior Adviser, and Ernest Gorr was again elected President, with the following officers: Vice-President, Aubrey Allen; Secretary-Treasurer, Dorothy Engel; Yell Leader, Alfred Mahon; Maroon Reporters, William Price, Ida Bennett. We went “over the top” in the Maroon and Beaver contests, and bid fair to win the scholastic contest. The class play, “Grumpy,” was presented with great success the last of April. Early in the fall we made our $50 quota to the Athletic fund by conducting a booth at the Boone County Fair. Two of our members were awarded honors in the Declamatory contest, and a number made up the charter members of the S. E. H. S. Dramatic club, the Normal Training club, and other such organizations. The commencement exercises in May marked the finals of our existence as a class. There have been mistakes and failures enough, but we believe that we have made a definite and lasting contribution to our Alma Mater in helping to win her glories and sharing in her sorrows. The class will always remember its lively days at S. E. H. S., and will profit by the many experiences, happy or otherwise, gained, as we go forth— “The Masters of our Fate, The Captains of our Soul.” By ALICE LISTER = 1928 = —9 ' cl2?rhe BEAVERS Slagt ffiUtU anit (Erstamrnt C) We, the Senior class of the St. Edward High School, county of Boone, state of Nebraska, being sound in mind and memory, wise, sane at times, and about to pass out of existence to the great beyond, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament: Item 1. We wish to give back and return to our beloved teachers the knowledge, advice, and information that they have so kindly given to us, in the hope that they shall feel repaid. Item 2. We give and bequeath to the Juniors the seats on the west side of the assembly. Also the right to observe Senior Sneak Day as we have so appropriately done. Item 3. We give and bequeath to the lower classmen all excess knowledge, old equipment, and anything else they can find, to be used to their best judgment. Item 4. We give and bequeath to the subordinate, incoming Freshmen everything else they can find to be used to the best of their ability. It might be helpful to look under seats and in desks. Item 5. I, Aubrey Allen, having ability to play all musical instruments, bequeath to Patty Sullivan my job as pianist. I, Freda Becklam, will to Alberta McGaughey, my ability to vamp a certain redheaded Freshman. I, Ida Bennett, being of studious nature, bequeath my ability to hand in my notebooks promptly to Lillie Nelson; you should use this to good advantage. I, Bernadetta Callahan, dedicate my affection for the opposite sex to Mary Saulsr. I, Eldon Cross, will and bequeath to “Tiny” Fonda my excess weight and extraordinary habit of overeating. This is a trait to be proud of and must not be taken too lightly. Also my responsibilities. I, Mildred Carlson, will and bequeath to Mildred Arney my place in the Senior Normal Training class. Also my grades. I, Fern Condreay, will my ability to chew gum to Clara Bolz. You will find a good supply under my desk. I, Roy Cumming, will to Lawrence Kealy my ability to make dates. An old Ford should help in this undertaking. I, George Curtis, will to Blaine Webster all I know about American History. (You didn’t receive much, Blaine.) I, Dorothy Engel, will and bequeath my position as Maroon typist to Dorothy Pearson (if you are foolish enough to take it). I, Sarah Ellis, will to Aradelle Huffman any boy in high school except “Abe”. I, Edna Finch, bequeath my chemistry notebook to Verna Grossnicklaus (You should receive “A’s.”) I, Isabelle Grieg, bequeath to my brother, Virgil, my ability to give humorous readings. (Keep it in the family, Virgil.) I, Ernest Gorr, will and bequeath beauty and form to Margaret Nelson. Cherish it dearly, Margaret, as it should be of great use. I, Floyd Hall, will to Floyd Nieman all the tacks I have sat on this year. Their sharpness increases with age. 1928 3 £ g%e BEAVEPJSv, 3 c, I, Lottie Hazlitt, having a care-free disposition, will to Martha Sauler my disposition along with all my left-over beaux. I, M. E. L.

I, Freda Sauler, being of a romantic nature, will my “Merchant of Venice” notebook to Maybelle Keeshan. P. S. Love and cherish it. I, Gertrude Sauler, having a way with the teachers, bequeath to Marie Webb my knack of getting “A’s.” Politeness helps. I, Arthur Weidner, bequeath my ability as a yodeler and a singer to anyone capable to follow in my footsteps. (We suggest Donald Shaeffer.) I, Ethel Wheeler, having a thorough knowledge of everything, bequeath my notes on all subjects to Ellenora Reardon, as I have no further use for them. Item 6. Having no more use for our earthly goods, we leave them all to John Hood. We ask him to take good care of them as they would burn easily if not taken care of. We appoint our sponsor, Miss Zella Scriven, as administrator of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof we set our hands and seal this 1st day of May Our Lord, 1928. SENIOR CLASS OF S. E. in the Year of H. S. 1928 c ?S%e BEAVEP w-----------------------------------------9 Stratus of tltr Armors From behind that fantastic curtain of sleep A vision confronted my eyes; At first with a tremor of fear and of awe, But later with only surprise. Music that beckoned with a soft tenderness That my heart could not resist, ’Till I followed those musical echoes Through a cool and magical mist. Dumbly and wistfully I looked above Where a worn-out sign was placed; Mr. Allen, our music master, Were the words which my vision traced. For a moment I stood spellbound. Then slowly I walked down the hall; Till I heard a high pitched voice That resembled a hoot owl’s call. I was conscious of the odor of onions, Mingled with codfish and kraut, And within the open door An elderly woman bustled about. The elderly woman beamed on me As she turned from her skillet and said, “I’m Miss Jackson, the landlady here, Where hungering mouths are fed. “Come into the dining hall, my dear, And I’ll have you meet our group; They’ll all be present but Everett Rapp. Poor fellow has the croup. “He makes his rounds each morning And looks at every trap, But this is the one and only time That he’s been off our map. “Ah! here is Alice you must meet, Who writes the Love Lore page. And satisfies the wants and cares Of almost every age. “It’s Dugan that I think you hear Rushing down the hall; He sells a tonic to grow hair Upon a billiard ball. “Here’s your place at the table Beside of Gertrude Sauler. Stenographer of the Blacksmith shop, Please meet our evening caller. “You notice that alert-eyed man That sits back by the wall ? Well, that’s our star detective. Whose name is Floyd Hall. “‘Well, Ilene, how’s work today?’ Perhaps I shouldn’t mention, But Ilene has a queer fly trap She calls a new invention. “ ‘Please hand me that paper, Gordon, You’re through with the market now. And even though you leave the farm You’d better keep your cow.’ B 1928 S 3 3 BE AVERSE “Just look at the picture on this page, ’Tis Ted, I do declare, Who flew across the ocean once Without a single care. “Bill Price, the amateur pugilist, Is fighting in the ring; And Art’s returning to New York Where he’s been asked to sing. “A1 is still with the Giants, He’s winning all their games, And Isabell’s among the list That Redpath-Horner names. “Rev. Gorr will preach tonight On the ‘Young People of Today,’ I think we really ought to go And see what he has to say. “George and Sara are on a tour Through parts of France and Spain, And Freda Sauler’s still a nurse Who keeps us all from pain. “Frank Kula, Professional Lawyer, Is trying some criminal case; And Lottie, a beauty specialist, Is engaged in transforming the face. “Edna Finch, sorority mother, Is having their annual ball, And Ethel’s getting ready To teach again this fall. “Judith is running a country store At Woodville, Nebraska, I’m told; And they say it’s really remarkable The number of prunes that are sold. “Freda Berklam runs the elevator That’s found in Judith’s store; They’ve been partners for some time, Perhaps a year or more. “Fein and Dorothy are keeping books And their wages quickly rise Just like Fleischmann’s yeast. “Ida Bennet has a hat shop Somewhere in St. Paul; And has styles out already For this coming fall. “Ah! Listen to this, my countrymen, ‘Pearl Diver Receives a Reward.’ ’Tis Roy, who rescued a string of pearls By jumping overboard. “Bernadetta captured a job At the Fontenelle hotel; Mildred’s at the White House Keeping books for Cal.” But here my vision ended, And I opened my eyes at last To find I had been dreaming Sweet memories of the Past. 1928 3 3 cJ TThe BEAVERS S £) The Juniors SIXTH ROW ElInora Reardon.

Kurth Nelson The Junior class is noted for its pep and determination, as has been fully demonstrated by their enthusiasm as shown by participating in the contests and various other activities. The class ranks high in its scholastic standing and holds a fine record as to perfect attendance and promptness. The Junior class has several members who are talented and will undoubtedly become famous some day. These people have offered their services to the High School in contributing selections for entertainment from time to time which have been thoroughly appreciated by the entire student body. The class of ’29 has co-operated with the student body in every undertaking. They have rejoiced with the student body in all their victories and have helped them to take defeat unfalteringly. They have proved themselves “real sports” and will always be highly esteemed by the students and faculty. The Junior class has been more than well represented in activities the past year. Seven members participated in the Declamatory contest, which is more than the other classes entered. The boys, although small in number, take unusual interest in basket ball, football and track. Kurth Nelson, a prominent Junior, has been chosen basket ball captain for the coming year, and Harlan Stone has been elected football captain. Miss Kiskalt, the Junior class sponsor, deserves a great deal of credit for keeping the Juniors on top. She has been “one of us” during the entire past year and has backed us in every undertaking. The Juniors have made such a wonderful showing the past three years that, with one more year to go on, we’ll be at the head of the list without a doubt. = 1928 3 BEAVERS 3 FIFTH HOW Clyd: St.llinger, Harold Miller, Mel Rosvncran .

Many things have been accomplished by us. We have made a good showing in our classes and in our attendance records, and also contributed greatly to the school in athletics, having had four lettermen on the football team, one on the basket ball team, and ??? on the track team. Three class members were entered in the local Declamatory contest, one of whom received a first place, and four of our members were in the High School Dramatic club. Our pledge of $50 to the Athletic fund has been raised and we have fulfilled our contract for the Beaver, as well as backing all High School activities to the uttermost.

We, forty-six strong, were no exception to the rule, but we tried to find our places in High School life as quickly as possible. In Athletics we turned out one letter man in football, and two of the so-called “green” Freshmen were sent to the state tournament. A number of the girls are found in the Physical Training class, and one boy took part in the Declamatory contest. In choosing our colors we picked blue and red.

To make the contest of material value to the school, each vote cost the voter a penny. The proceeds went to the Beaver. Our Student Manager, Eldon Cross, popularly known as ‘Dugan’ Cross, was chosen among the boys, and Margaret Jackson, who is always known as M. E. L., received the title as most popular girl. The contest was based upon the student’s real value to the school in supporting its activities as well as their social qualities. 1928 =---------- S (Thr firauer Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editor Business Manager Assistant Manager Activities Editors Sponsor . . . . .

The two members of the staff who received their positions by promotion are Alice Lister, Editor-in-Chief, and Ilene Saunders, Business Manager. The others were appointed by the faculty at the beginning of the school year. Only one vacancy occurred during the year—Mabelle Keeshan, who was Assistant Editor, was transferred to a like position on the Beaver staff. Kathryn Masten was appointed to take her place. Other members of the staff were: Assistant Business Manager, Kurth Nelson; Circulation Manager, Freda Sauler; Athletic Director, Eldon Cross; and Typist, Dorothy Engel. Two reporters were appointed from each class as follows: Seniors, Ida Bennett and William Price; Juniors, Fern Edwards and Kathryn Mas-ten: Sophomores, Erma Apple and Doris Bennett; and Freshmen, Sara Lister and William Westmore.

High school activities must have the backing of the community if they are to succeed. One of the high spots of the S. E. club is its annual banquet. Here alumni and active members get together. There is little doubt that the S.

Eighteen students succeeded in becoming permanent charter members. Membership is based on try-outs and the vote of the club. The Freshmen were excluded from membership, as it was thought they would retain their interest better if allowed to try out in ensuing years. The first meeting was held October 20, and the following officers were chosen: Arthur Weidner, president; Mel Jackson, vice-president; Aubrey Allen, secretary; Margaret Nelson, treasurer. The Dramatic club has endeavored to bring interest into the school and community in spoken drama by their onoact plays. Their first one-act play, entitled “In 1999,” was presented at the High School Carnival. The following members took part: Mel Jackson, Alice Lister, and Arthur Weidner. “The Florist Shop” was the second one-act play presented, and was given at a convocation program. The members participating were Ernest Gorr, Kenneth Matzen, Margaret Nelson, and Mabelle Keeshan. = 192 8 S s 3 3 BEAVERS “The Exchange” was presented to the High School at the Christmas program. The cast consisted of Florence Nelson, Eldon Cross, Donald Wake, Mildred Jensen, and Arthur Weidner. The cast for “Wrong Numbers” consisted of Fern Edwards, Mildred Jensen, and Dorothy Pearson. This play was given at convocation. Besides entertaining the High School assemblies, the Dramatic club has given several plays at country school houses, at P. T. A., and at the faculty dinners- The Dramatic club also took charge of the Declamatory contest this year and a greater part of the class play casts were chosen from the club members. The Dramatic club also entered the Little Theater tournament at Fremont April 13, with a one-act play entitled “Judge Lynch.” Those taking part were Allie Nelson. Mel Jackson, Arthur Weidner, and Donald Wake. The work of the Dramatic club has been greately appreciated by the student body and by the people of the community. The extent of this club’s success is, perhaps, largely due to the effort of their sponsor, Miss Tracy. s = 1928 3 d29The BEAVERS THIRD ROW Freda Sauler. Judith Pi ter on. Lily Nelxon.

Gradoville (Cnarlj Under Coach Gradoville’s direction St. Edward High School had another successful year of athletics. Another branch of athletics was introduced into the High School this year. It was football, and greatly because of his coaching we had a winning team the first year. In basket ball he put out a team that lived up to the high standard that our teams of late years have set. He has developed some track men that are capable of breaking state records. Not only has he put out winning teams in all branches of sports, but he has taught them the highest rules of sportsmanship a'ong with making them live up to strict training rules. Through his hard work he elevated the standard of athletics in the High School. Captain-rlrrt This year’s football team had no captain. Harland Stone, who played a steady game at tackle during the entire season, was elected captain at the football banquet. Harland should be able to put the fighting spirit into the team and under his able leadership St. Edward High School should have another winning team. = 1928 Harland Stone 3 WALTER KOOP, En l “Bill” is fast and a very sure tackier, and he stopped many plays around his end. He has the right spirit, and with two more years he should develop into a great end. JOHN MORRIS, Halfback “Johnny” has brought the crowd to its feet many a time by his spectacular plays. Also his ability to catch passes and quickness helped make him a good halfback, and with another year he should develop into a good back. ERNEST GORR, Fullback His ability to back up the line and to hit the line made him a very valuable man. Could always be depended upon and was willing to work hard. When Ernest was right it was a sure victory and he was right most of the time. This is his last year. FRANK KULA, Halfback The hardest hitting back on the squad, he could get under way before the defense got settled, and once loose he could never be caught. He could always be depended on for several yards gain and his fleetness won many a game for the Maroons. This is his last year. BEAVERS CLYDE STILLINGER, Halfback Put sex appeal and natural ability together and you have a football player. Clyde always had a sensational play for every game, and when you take the ball on the kick-off for a near touchdown—it helps. “Stilly” should develop into a wonderful back with two more years to display his wares. HILBERT HAZLITT, Quarterback Although this is his first and last year on the high school gridiron, he has made a name for himself. “Chick’s” coolness in handling the team, his passing, kicking and running, made him a triple-threat man of no mean ability. He was given honorable mention on the all-state team; this is a record for a first year man. He will be missed next fall. KURTH NELSON, Tackle Ask Kurth if farmers are good football players. He is an exception, though. Kurth always threw the monkey wrench into opponents’ offensive, and also proved to us the farmers can gain much yardage. He has one more year. ELDON CROSS, Center One of the biggest men on the squad, he held down one of the biggest positions to his credit. His ability to open holes in the other line for the backs and to smear the opponents’ plays made him a valuable man. He was always in there fighting, and had the right spirit. He is a Senior and will be missed next year. 1928 c The BEAVERS ARTHUR WEIDNER, Fullback “Art” can sing and yodel fine, and he can play football just as well. He has the fighting spirit that helped win many a game. He would play his best in victory or defeat, and would never give up until the final whistle. He will not be back next year. THEODORE MORRIS, End “Ted’s” specialty was spilling the opponents for losses, and he could sure do it. He wouldn’t give an inch and was always in the game fighting. He will be missed next year. WILLIAM PRICE, Guard One of the most dependable linemen on the team, he was always in the game fighting and spilling the opposing backs. Six feet of “Bill,” and all football ability. This is his last year, and he will leave a gap that will be hard to fill. ALDEN ANDERSON, Center Though not a regular, when he saw service he showed what a real player he was, and next year he should become a great center. His ability to plug up holes and his fighting spirit gained him respect. =£?gBEAVER. Sv.--------------- HARLAND STONE. Tackle (Captain-Elect) One of the mainstays on the line, he was in there fighting all the time. Was a sure tackier, and mussed up many of the opponents’ plays. He also proved his worth as a ball lugger on various plays. Great things are expected of him next year and he should make a great leader. MARION NEWTON, Guard There is not an opposing guard that will not remember “Pat.” When he hit he hit hard, and he hit often. He was always a menace to the opponents and seemed to be where he was least expected. He has two years yet in high school competition, and should be a terror to all high school teams. EDDIE ABOOD, Halfback Eddie’s ability to make wise cracks and to play football made him the only Freshman to earn a letter. He showed us he could already play football, and with three more years he should develop into an all-state man. CLARENCE SANDBERG, End Sweeping end runs around Sandberg’s end were not thought of by the other team. He broke through often and spilled the opponents’ backs for losses, and “Oh, how he could snag them passes.” He will be missed next year, as he moved away. = 1928 ------------------ cj2?rhe BEAVERS THIRD ROW Coach Gradoville.

Opponents, 63 This is a record of which any school could feel proud for the first year. It came as a result of hard work, splendid co-operation, and fine sportsmanship on the part of the whole football squad. It took many long practices to get the boys in the physical condition which would enable them to stand all the hard knocks. They trained hard, and as a result went through the season without an injury. When the Maroons took the field that afternoon for their first taste of football competition, they were unaware of just what their abilities were. But they were not long in finding out because they reeled off six touchdowns in that game, and while they were doing this they were holding the Albion seconds so well in hand that they failed to register a first down. The next week the Maroons faced a tougher assignment in the Grand Island Reserves. The inexperienced team knew not what it meant to have confidence. In that game they lacked the courage and determination to win. They were beaten because they were not fully convinced that they really had power. The first half the Maroons were completely outplayed, hut between halves, inspired by the coach, they came back strong and more than outplayed the Grand Island Reserves. The boys learned plenty in this game, and were determined to redeem themselves in the following game. The next game with the Albion Seconds was just a good workout for the whole squad. The backs went wild in this game and the line tore big holes in their opponents’ forward wall. It was in this game that the boys stamped themselves as an aggregation worthy of consideration, and their showing is what led the Albion officials to consider a game with their first team. After a rest the boys journeyed over the bluffs to Cedar Rapids, and thinking that they had an easy job they just couldn’t get going. In other words, they were overconfident. The half ended 0-0. But between halves they were told why it was, and they came back an entirely different team. The backs reeled out three touchdowns, and the other two points came as a result of the line holding and then falling on the ball back of the Cedar Rapids goal line after they fumbled. The game with the Genoa team was a heart-breaker. The boys wanted to win this game of all games. But they wanted to win too hard. As a result the breaks were against them. Time and again they took the ball within scoring distance, only to lose £ = 192 8 3 BEAVERS 3 S it by a fumble. All we can say is that it was a typical “Nebraska-Missouri” game and the best team did not win. But it was a hard-fought, clean game, and the Genoa team won because their passing attack surprised the inexperienced Maroons. If the breaks had been evenly divided it undoubtedly would have been different. The first touchdown was scored by Genoa when one of their men picked up a fumble and ran ninety yards to a touchdown, which took the heart out of our boys. This was by far the most thrilling game of the season. The outstanding feature was the stone wall defense put up by the Maroon line, when at the start of the game Newman marched down to within six inches of the St. Edward goal. Here they were stopped, and in four successive attempts failed to carry the ball across. Another time they came within inches, but again the line held, and after this it was all St. Edward. The fans were treated to some real line-smashing by the St. Edward backs. Another good game followed the next week when the Maroons defeated the Clarks team on the home gridiron. The St. Edward eleven played a good game of football and the result was another win for the local team. On Thanksgiving Day the Maroons played their final game, and the boys showed up well in the last game. Being outweighed and inexperienced, they faced a tough assignment. The Albion team figured this to be a set-up, but they soon changed their minds when the St. Edward team went over for a touchdown in the early part of the game The Albion team would not meet defeated, though, and soon went over for two touchdowns to win the game. This was the last game for Hazlitt, Kula, Gorr, Cross, Morris, Price, and Weidner. During the season many of the men showed up well, and those who showed up to their credit this year were Hazlitt, Stillinger, Kula, Gorr, J. Morris, Weidner, T. Morris, 'Cross, Price, Newton, Stone, Nelson, Sandberg, and Koop. 1928 3 j2Vhe BEAVERS ittanaiu'r The S. E. club chose Eldon (Dugan) Cross as Student Manager for this school term.

There are two divisions: “Animal Production” and “Crops and Soils.” The Animal Production class carried out a class project of fattening thirty-five head of hogs. They learned considerable about market prices, cost of production, and rations. Some time was spent on field trips in judging live stock and culling poultry. Milk from the home herd was tested, showing a variation of from 3 to 6 per cent butterfat. One separator was found that left over five times as much cream in the separated milk as one other Each pupil must complete a home project in which he actually manages some farm enterprise. He puts the theory into practice. The different projects this year include beef and hog fattening, sheep, poultry, and dairy production, sow and litter projects. The Crops and Soils class took field trips to study weeds, to select seed corn, to observe mechanical corn pickers, silo filling, measuring hay, pruning home orchard, etc. The home projects this year consist of corn or potato production. Soil saving dams were built as a class project. This year both divisions have the same kind of shop work. Most of this is wood work, constructing practical farm buildings and other farm equipment, such as feed bunks, self-feeders for hogs, poultry feeders, dropping boards, brooder houses, loading chutes, hog houses, etc. Some work is also done in soldering, harness repairing, tool sharpening, and rope splicing. They also made saw-horses and work benches for the shop. The boys will not be expert farmers when they finish the course, but they will know things that may save expensive mistakes. One farmer expressed the belief that the agricultural course members would gain the equivalent of ten years of experience. 0 1928 3 3 s _9 29The BEAV£Pv- r ---------------------- r Humrsttr Art This year is the first time that St. Edward has had a complete one-year course in Home Economics. Domestic Art is alternated with Domestc Science, allowing two double periods a week. The same girls are enrolled in both phases of the Home Economics course. Domestic Art includes selection, planning, construction, budget-making, and hygiene of clothing. The precocious beginner usually learns the art of ripping very soon after registration; then she becomes interested in the pastime of basting and fitting. Seems to a first semester seamstress as an entire waste of time. Gradually she learns that a piece of cloth may be coaxed and bullied into almost anything she desires; that luck and cheating have no effect in this type of work; and that there is a big necessity for adaptation where the best results are attained. A special feature of the work was participation in a sewing contest sponsored locally by Hasselbalch’s store and nationally by The Butterick Publishing Company. The following were the prize winners in the local contest: First Prize—$5.00, plus cost of material refunded - - - Edna Harris Second Prize—$3.00, plus cost of material refunded - - Dorothy Staack Third Prize—Cost of material refunded ------ Clarissa Cruise Cmmurrrtnl ilrpartmriit The commercial course, like other branches of the High School curriculum, has several outstanding points which are worthy of being mentioned, but space will not permit. The business world, like a machine, has been revolutionized. In the smaller schools, only a small portion of all the business subjects can be taught, giving the student along with his High School course a start along some channel of business occupation, either for hmself or as an employee in some large concern. Our department has an enrollment of close to fifty students. About two-thirds of this number could be classified as strictly commercial people. It is only for lack of facilities that the department is not larger. The typing room, some nine foot square, located at the west end of the hall, contains ten typewriter's. Accommodations were made for twenty beginning students by dividing the instruction period. There were eleven advanced students, nine of which finished the advanced course. Several of the students won certificates and pins of award for speed and accuracy in typing. The shorthand classes combined had an average enrollment of twenty-five. There were only ten students who took the third semester shorthand work. Business Arithmetic, Bookkeeping, and Business English were open to the tenth grade students. Enrollment in each were twenty-two, nineteen, and fifty-three, respectively. The Business English, a new subject in the course, was offered to the three upper classes, and taught by Miss Stump. The Law class, a group of eleven boys and seven girls, studied the different phases of business law. Contracts, bailments, and negotiable instruments were the main topics. A visit was made to the county court at Albion, to learn court procedure. Students of this class will long remember some of the heated arguments that were had in class. Domrsttr rtrnrr In great-grandmother's time the ability to cook was considered one of the accomplishments of a real lady. Today we have added to this, as a lequirenient, a scientific-knowledge of foods and of the principles of cookery, because we realize more than ever that health, economy, and happiness all have their sources in the knowledge and culinary skill of the housewife. The Home Economics work, included now in the curriculum of most every high school, is a direct outgrowth of the realization that the demands of women in industiy has affected the home making and training of the girl of today compared to the girl of fifty years ago. In this school the Domestic Science work is offeied to the Freshmen =£? 1928 S 3 29 he BEAVERS 3 3 girls for one year. Six periods are devoted to this work, two double periods a week and one double period for theory and discussion. The girls begin the course by making the most simple dishes, later to prepare balanced meals, and toward the end of the course the girls have a short course in invalid cookery. A breakfast, luncheon and dinner are planned, prepared and served during the year. Special guests are invited to the dinner. The girls say that these guests will be their mothers. Through the entire course the chief aim is to make “home” the most attractive and interesting place. Home and school must work together, and in order to accomplish results the work was made as practical as possible, employing the home as a center from which to work. This has been accomplished to a great extent as problems arising out of the interest of the girls in their own home or social life are taken up and made special problems for study and solution. We believe in learning by seeing and doing. Special demonstrations have proven valuable in this respect. Saunders Butcher Shop provided a meat demonstration. Both hind and front quarters were cut, each part named, and methods of preparation were discussed. Later on Wells Wright’s store gave the class the opportunity to see a demonstration on gelatin and the preparation of coffee. Mr. Wright at the same time gave a helpful demonstration on how coffee is blended and roasted. We have been handicapped in several ways in that the equipment of the department is limited and half of the Home Economics room itself has been converted into a classroom, which does not make the situation as homelike as we desired, yet we have not considered these our greatest handicaps. The greatest handicap of all is the limited number of girls taking the work. We feel that with the large enrollment in this school we are justified in encouraging more girls to enroll in this work. iEttgltsl? The ability to talk, speak, and write effectively is not a gift, but the result of painstaking practice, rightly directed. It is the purpose of our English department to direct the student in such a way that he will acquire this ability, and that he may know literary beauty when he hears it or reads it, and be able to enjoy it. In order to carry out this plan we offer four years of English. The course consists of American Literature, Business English and Constructive English—both oral and written. In the Freshman year we study the fundamentals of grammar, theme writing, letter writing, and oral English. “Silas Marner,” “The Merchant of Venice,” “Treasure Island,” “Lady of the Lake,” and “Selections From American Poetry” are the classics studied. The first semester of Sophomore English is spent on the fundamentals of composition, and of the classics “Tale of Two Cities” and “Idylls of the King.” The second semester is spent on the study of Public Speaking, and of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar.” Commercial English, which is a course consisting of the principles of letter writing and Business English, is offered to those students enrolled in the commercial department. Eleventh and Twelfth English is a study of American Literature and Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” All through the course we have endeavored to teach the individual the art of expressing thoughts effectively in words. iCattn In our school two years of Latin are offered. It is urged that we strive for quality rather than quantity. In the work of the first year the most important element is the mastery of forms, with vocabulary and syntax following. It is impossible to stress too much the value of an absolute mastery of declensions and conjugations. We find if this is accomplished the following year’s work will be simpler. In the second year we continue the study of grammar. A great part of the year’s reading consists of matter less difficult than Caesar’s Gaelic War. Books I and II of Caesar’s Gaelic War also are taken up. In addition to the Latin readings, part of the time is devoted to work in composition. 3 3 = 192 8 d3Vhe BEAVEB t, S) s iliatl rmatirs This department offers a year each of Beginning Algebra and Plane Geometry, and a half year each of Advanced Algebra and Solid Geometry. The aim in Mathematics is to develop the power of reasoning. In no other branch of study as in Mathematics is the pupil required to do so much individual thinking. Exercising the faculties in a mathematical way enables the student to think more clearly in other subjects. In Beginning Algebra, the fundamental operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are mastered, in addition to various practical exercises which deal with uniform motion, graphing, etc. In Plane Geometry the subject matter is divided into five parts, consisting of rectilinear figures, such as triangles, rectangles, etc.; the circle; proportion; areas, and polygons. This is supplemented by original and practical exercises taken from modern texts. In Advanced Algebra, after a thorough review of the fundamental operations, such topics as radicals, square root, quadratics, graphs, logarithms, etc., are studied. The value and importance of this course cannot be over-estimated because it is the basis for the higher branches of mathematics. It is highly recommended for those planning to enter a higher institution of learning. Solid Geometry is a study of just what the name implies. The formulas for the areas and volumes of such figures as pyramids, cones, cylinders, spheres, etc., are derived. This course is highly practical and is, therefore, very useful. The theoretical proofs are treated as secondary in importance. Aiinrulturr The general course in Agriculture offered to the ninth grade has aimed to create an intelligent and an abiding interest in Agriculture by leading the pupil into a knowledge of the opportunities in farming and giving him such an understanding of the forces with which the farmer has to deal to make him successful in the management of soil in the growing of crops and live stock. The time has come when we acknowledge that farming is an honorable occupation, requiring on the part of the farmer trained judgment and skill, as well as technical knowledge. The opportunity for creating an interest for this occupation was given by utilizing as laboratories the facilities of neighboring farms, field trips, home projects, and special demonstrations. Newspapers and farm papers were read and current topics were discussed, which kept the class in close touch with the interests and problems of the farmer. It is hoped that this course will have created for some of the pupils a desire to continue this study by taking advantage of the opportunities now provided by the Vocational Agriculture course. (6rm ral rtntrr General Science is the science offered to the Freshmen the first semester. The purpose of the course is to furnish education that is of maximum value to the pupils in furnishing a foundation upon which to determine their future and also enable them to meet life’s problems more intelligently and effectively. Much interest was manifested in the experiments performed during the course, which explained phenomena especially applicable to every-day life. burial rtrnrr General History, American History, and Civics constitute the Socal Science courses offered in this High School. The first two named have been made graduation requirements. Civics is a Normal Training requirement. General History is indeed a very general history course. It is offered to tenth grade 3 1928 3 3 rhe BEAVEF 5v students and covers the entire field of European history in a very general way. While most of the material covered is new to the student, some of it is a repetition of work done in the grades. A knowledge of historical facts is not the only end reached through this course. A realization of the continuity of history is one of the greatest assets gained. All nations are making history at the same time, but each from a different angle and with a different interest. Then, too, the activities of one nation have a distinct connection with the activities of other nations. A general course brings this out. Miss Tracy is the instructor. American History is offered to Seniors. Just as might be implied, it is a study of American history.' It is taught not as a mere collection of facts, but rather as practical material. Its knowledge is not an end within itself, but rather a means of profiting through the experiences of others. Mere knowledge is nothing but a satisfaction of knowing. Only applied knowledge is worth while. Wide reference reading is encouraged. One historian is not an authority in all matters. He is human and can be partial and biased in his opinions. Mr. Weinerth is the instructor. Civics is offered one semester and is taught by Miss Seriven. It is a Normal Training requirement. The practical side has been kept in mind in the presentation of this course. Civics is not merely a study of government, as is commonly supposed, but a study of people-society. The vocational side of life is not overlooked either. djrnristni Twenty-four students were enrolled in Chemistry this year. The group system in the experimental laboratory work was satisfactorily employed again this year. A well known educator once said that “the purpose of the study of science is to make us more critical of the things which we accept.” There is no question but this educator would have marveled had he come in contact with the work of some of these students of chemistry. Time and again a student had to furnish proof with an experiment before he could convince another that he was right. Several students proved themselves resourceful and prepared some reagents for class use which otherwise would have to be purchased. Special reading of current developments in science was included as part of the regular work. Several of the students participated in the National Chemistry Essay contest, sponsored by the Chemical Foundation, Inc. lUuliujif This is one of the new courses introduced this year and takes the place of Botany. Botany is not entirely dispensed with, for its study constitutes an important part of the study of Biology. Twenty-eight students were enrolled for the work this year. Biology is a modern science and is now introduced into the curriculums of most high schools. The word Biology comes from two Greek words—bios (life) and logos (study). Biology, then, is the study of things that are alive, both plants and animals. And since man is the highest and most important of all living creatures, special emphasis is placed on the science underlying man’s health and well-being. The feature of this course, which justifies its introduction in this school, is the advantage it gives to encourage application of the principles derived from observation and study of the relationship between plants and animals. Such observations, made directly from nature wherein the law of give and take, of sacrifice for the common good, might well teach us as we take our places in society to be willing to give up our individual pleasures or selfish gains for the good of the community in which we live. £ oC 1928 3 J9 £ BEAVERS ------ Aluntnt 1893 Willis Warner Lillian Flory 1895 M.

It is demonstrated daily in prompt attention, courtesy, and a whole-hearted endeavor to accommodate you in every way possible. THE FIRST STATE BANK ST. EDWARD, NEBRASKA LAWRENCE C. CLARK F. L.

Illustrate.” A1—“Well—‘My talk with the superintendent was irresistible.’ ” POOR SHE If she goes with them all she’s a coquette; if she has a steady she couldn’t get anyone else. If she majors in chemistry or biology she’s queer; if she doesn’t she’s looking for a snap course. If she’s athletic she’s losing her maidenly charm; if she isn’t, “Oh, well, girls can’t do anything nowadays.” If she belongs to a club she’s frivolous; if she doesn’t she couldn’t get in. If she’s from town she’s a high-brow; if she isn’t she’s a “hick.” If she’s popular she thinks she’s smart; if she isn’t she’s a dumbbell. Merry Christmas! What’s a poor girl to do? Huh? Clyde—“I went to the S. E. banquet and ‘Grady’ asked me if I liked codfish balls.” Art WT.—“What’d you say ?” Clyde—“Told him I’ve never attended any. S. E. H. S. MOTTO Don’t study when you’re tired, Or have something else to do; Don’t study when you’re happy, For that would make you blue. Don’t study in the daytime, Don’t study in the night. But study at all other times With all your main and might. He—“Say, I’ll tell you something if you won’t go blowing it all over the town.” She (all thrilled)—“Oh, I won’t! What is it?” He—“You’ve got a big nose.” Florence Nelson (who had just purchased a stamp)—“Oh, dear, must I put this on myself?” Postmaster—“No, madam, not necessarily; it will probably accomplish more if you put it on the letter.” TWO ESSENTIALS TO SUCCESS: A good education and a good appearance.
