THE BEAVER 1947 VOLUME XI FOREWORD As we approach the end of our final year in S. E. H. S., we wish to leave with our fellow students and friends, these accounts of our activities and interests during our four years in St. Edward High. We are entering into a more serious and responsible future, and thus, in editing this Beaver, we are trying to preserve some of the treasures of one of our most enjoyable periods of our lives — our teen age high school days. Jerry Lightner Editor-in-Chief It is in admiration and affection for her outstanding help that Mrs. Anderson, our principal, has given us, that we, the Class of ’47, hereby dedicate this annual.

These confused and perplexed freshies were destined to become the Class of '47. The fatal day of initiation was bound to come when we least expected it, and, when it arrived, we were met at the door by seniors wielding jars of paint which was applied to our faces in grotesque designs. Although initiation was somewhat of a frightening experience, it made us feel more a part of the high school. At our initial class meeting we voted unanimously for Kelly Green and White as our colors, the White Rose for our flower, and as our motto we chose: IB “We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us. Later we presented our banner to the president of the Senior class. On February 17, we were given a party by the Sophomores and later held our own class party. Our Sophomore year proved quite uneventful except for the traditional party for the Freshmen. In our Junior year on November 30, a well chosen cast under the direction of Mr. Benton, displayed their talents in the class play, “The Redheaded Stepchild. Our next major project was the annual style show which we presented in April. Many hours of preparation and hard work made this a success. We chose Blossom Time for our theme. In May we presented the Junior-Senior banquet which was a gala affair with a‘night club theme, Stork Club. The last episode of our Junior year was ordering our class rings. September of '46 found us as the upper classmen of S.E.H.S. Two veterans, Leslie Dill and Stanley Goodman, joined our class. We officiated at the initiation of the Freshmen with pomp and showy display; an initiation that some freshies will never forget. In the first part of October we received our class rings—beautiful in design, sparkling as a diamond. October 23 found us journeying to Albion, Nebraska, to have our pictures taken. Many Christmas and Valentine gifts were settled by the photographer. The extensive job of printing the annual, our next assignment, proved a worthy one, because it will preserve our four years of friendship with S.E.H.S. For our class party, we chose a hay ride and weiner roast in the bluffs east of St. Edward. Many new hearts were discovered under the stars. On April 8, the class participated in the style show Fairyland Revue when we set our best foot forward garbed in the latest styles. A hilarious comedy in three acts, Special Delivery, showed off the dramatic talents of the graduating class on April 29. The following day, we Seniors took time off for Sneak Day and visited business establishments, Union Pacific Museum, Joslyn Memorial, and Boys Town in Omaha. Sunday, May 11, the Baccalaureate sermon was presented by Rev. Carl O. Carlson of Salem Lutheran Church. This evening commenced our last seven days in St. Edward High School as seniors of the Class of '47. The outstanding Senior Class Night was prepared and presented to the public two nights later. This entertaining and comedy-filled hour was enjoyed by everyone. On the fifteenth, Dr. Allan Burkhardt of Norfolk stirred us to seek the open fields of knowledge by his commencement speech. Thus terminated our memorable and unforgetable four years in St. Edward High. Hardly any other phase in our lives will ever erase our memories of our dear school. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY -10- We, the seniors of the class of one thousand nine hundred and forty-seven, being of sound mind and body and having reached the highest achievement cf this institution, namely St. Edward High School, in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and superhuman understanding, do place our most prized possessions into the noble and worthy hands of our successors, the classes of '48, ‘49, and '50. This is our last and final testimonial and we wish that our bequeathals will be accepted in a sacred trust. We bequeath to our dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the scientific and philosophical knowledge, an enjoyable and undisturbed succession of peaceful nights and tranquil dreams, our bright smiles, and all of the astounded wisdom and information we have provided from time to time in our various examination papers. We leave this at their personal discretion to convert such bits of knowledge for furthering and instructing the illiterate classes from ignorance and error. I, LEONA APPLE, do will my soft and agreeable complexion to LOIS DANNELLY for that smoother touch of a school girl complexion. I, DOROTHY BUCK, do will my shyness and coyness to that timid Freshman, LARRY BAKER. I, TRACY CLARK, do will my knowledge of the metropolis of Genoa to MORRIS DANNELLY so that he need not waste worthless hours roaming around in a daze. I, BILLY COOPER, do will my ability to cultivate tufts around the chin to the Samson of the Freshman class, HAL HASSELBALCH. I, VELMA CURTIS, do will my naturally wavy hair to DONNA POTTER so that she will not have to rely upon permanents, pin curls, etc. I, LARRAINE DAVIDSON, do will my giggle to DONNA LOU PHILLIPS and my long black tresses to BEVERLY SWANSON. I, RAYMOND DAWSON, do will my gift of gab to MAX FLAHERTY so that he will not be the fcutt of too many jokes. 1, LA VERN DICKENSON, do will my favorite navy dungerees to DONNA GRAPE, for peace ever-after. Amen. I, LESLIE DILL, do will my sly intelligence to DON FISHER so that he may have an easier time next year in his classes. ‘ I, LEONARD DOOLEY, do will my 1947 Cadillac to JIM JEFFRYES as he will be needing it very soon. I, MARY FORCE, do will my ability to trifle amorously to KATHLEEN TAYLOR, hoping she will apply it with more discretion. I, MAX FORCE, do will my ability to play cupid with Albion girls to ROBERT BARBOUR so that he can get better acquainted with the Good Neighbor policy. I, DAYMOND FRANCISCO, do will my dimples and my ability to score touchdowns to RICHARD FRANCIS so that the 1947 football team will have a scoring punch. I, RAMONA FUSSELMAN, do will my sedate and subdued manner to WAYNE JOHNSON so that he will not be cuffed and lashed by his classmates in Assembly. I, STANLEY GOODMAN, do will my industriousness and good grades to GENE MAHONEY so that he will be eligible to play football the entire season. I, ELDON JACOBSEN, do will my lifetime high altitude, underwater, ball bearing point fountain pen to MARION BROWN with a fervent hope that she will not appropriate them from her chums. I, DENNIS LASKA, do will my effervescent smile and happy personality to JAMES WERTS for better rather than worse. I, JERRY LIGHTNER, do will my extra bobby pins to EDDIE COOPER so that he need not have his crew style hair cut all the time. I, ROBERT McCARTY, do will my boisterous voice and manners to JERRY WARREN, who, at all times (?), is a perfect gentleman. (?) (CLASS WILL Continued on page 26) SENIOR CLASS WILL Turning ahead the hands of time a score of years, we find the members of the Class of 47 well scattered throughout the ole earth. Their many interest and talents have brought all of them success in some way or another. RAYMOND DAWSON, better known as DIZ , is a big time tobacco auctioneer in Kentucky. —L. S. M. F. T.— MARILYN NOVITNY, after spending a few years in Wyoming, has just opened a snazzy cafe in Miami. Two members of our class have made their name known to the city of New York. TRACY CLARK is the newly elected District Attorney while STANLEY GOODMAN, with two spectacular stage hits, has become one of the most eligible bachelors in the social set. DEAN SCHACK, always a farmer at heart, has turned his scientific skill to perfecting an atomic fountain pen that has no ball bearing point. The adventurous LA VERN DICKENSON is now roaming the seven seas as the captain of a tramp steamer. DAYMOND FRANCISCO, always one of the hardest working students in S. E. H. S., is now vice president in charge of liquid assests in the St. Edward Bank—filling up inkwells. DALE WHEELER, who always dreamed of seeing the world, never got farther way from home than Bradish where he is an auto mechanic and farmer. DOROTHY BUCK, using her ability at handling people, is employed in the complaint department at Macy's. VELMA CURTIS, who we never thought would settle down, is now a plumber's wife enjoying life at its best in Crete, Nebraska. But here is one character of the ole class of '47 that hasn't changed for we find JEANNE VOICHAHOSKE on her way to Genoa to a dance—(as usual.) EUNA LEE WILLIAMS has one of the most interesting occupations of any member of the former class for she is now the official selector of prizes for Cracker jack boxes. WAYNE MILBURN'S steadfast determination has been rewarded for he finally invented non-skid peanut butter for people with false teeth. MARY FORCE, a gay and likable girl back in S. E. H. S., has been pratic-cally living in court rooms since she has been divorced three times and married on four occasions. Busy as a beaver is BILLY COOPER. As head camera man at R. K. O. studios, he has lately been associated with LEONARD DOOLEY who has a starring role in a new movie, The Redhead. Happening to drop down into the Beatrice community we find DONNA NELSON, housewife of the coach in the local school. LARRAINE DAVIDSON, is teaching future beauty operators in Omaha at her beauty salon. A far cry from the beauty business is operating a. ranch in Montana, but that is where we find RAMONA FUSSELMAN and her husband. LOIS REARDON chose a career to marriage and became a model for Glamour Magazine. ROBERT McCARTY, who was always the executive type, is now vice-president of a printing company which recently published LEONA APPLE'S new book on etiquette.

On the fateful day of September 4, 1945, a new squad of green freshmen entered S. E. H. S. After being initiated they were no longer green but just plain freshman. After nine months of struggle they received their report cards and were now promoted to sophomores. After another nine months of easier struggle, they then became what they are at present—juniors. As their first project, they showed their ability in dramatics by presenting their junior class play, Introducing Susan. As their second activity, the juniors indulged in a good old fashioned hayride and this event took place on the new highway from St. Edward to Genoa. As tradition would have it, they put on in honor of the seniors, a very enchanting and breath-taking show, Fairyland Revue. A very large crowd gathered and saw the greatest event of the year. As a last chance to show their friendliness and appreciation, they gave a banquet and prom on May 6. Hats off to a great classll! MOTTO: FLOWER: COLORS: THE HIGHER WE RISE, THE BROADER THE VIEW.

Finishing our second year in St. Edward High School, our class of 1949, is more enthused than ever to start out our junior year. Although we have participated in only one class activity, the Sophomore-Freshmen party, we are looking forward to our Junior year which will be one of our greatest years in school. The class is well represented in various school activities as football, basketball, track, boys' glee, girls' glee, mixed chorus, F. F. A., F. H. A., etc., and in the next few years will lead in the school program of extracurricular activities. President Vice President Secretary and Treasurer News Reporter . ........

After registration on September 2, we found out that the new class of Freshies had the biggest enrollment of any class in St. Edward High School. In that respect, the youngest class outranked the other classes. On February 13, the sophomore class invited the freshmen class to the annual Freshmen-Sophomore party. Five days later on February 18, Lois Dannelly, freshmen president, presented their class banner to the seniors. At their initial class meeting, the freshmen selected the followihg to lead them through the first year in high school: President Lois Dannelly Vice President Muriel Shell Secretary Dorla Dean Iverson Treasurer Patty Novotny News Reporter Bobby Raitt MOTTO: FORWARD EVER, BACKWARD NEVER FLOWER: WHITE ROSE COLORS: BLUE AND WHITE FRESHMEN Long, Johnson, Milburn, Mrs. Shade.

Music in St. Edward High School is recognized as a necessity in the education of boys and girls. St. Edward, in the past, has had musical organizations of which they could be justly proud. The glee clubs, under the direction of Mrs. Georgean Kamrath, has again reached the pinnacle of fame and distinction as the best in the State of Nebraska. On November 21, 22, 23, six students attended the State Music Clinic in Lincoln where Lois Reardon twirled her baton; Euna Lee Williams, Billy Raitt, Jerry Warren, and Milford Myhre sang in the chorus; and Mary Lou Davidson played her drum. Sixteen students were selected by tryouts to go to The Albion Choral Clinic on January 24 and 25. Noble Cain from Chicago was the guest conductor and the three hundred and fifty voice choir representing twenty high schools in this district sang various impressive numbers. The sixteen who attended were: First Soprano Donna Potter Euna Lee Williams Second Soprano Mary Force Corinne Lightner GIRLS GLEE —19— McKay, Flaherty, Stephens, Myhre, Wheeler, Nelson, Zimmerman.

The MAROON is a weekly edition of the St. Edward High School news print which is printed in the town newspaper, the St. Edward Advance. This paper attempts to give the high school news in accordance with the accepted journalist manner. The paper has grown with the school, stands for it, and is at the service of the student and faculty. The MAROON staff was chosen from the public speaking class under Miss Armstrong and a completely new staff was chosen every six weeks to rotate the editorship to all. The following staff positions were chosen: editor-in-chief, assistant editor, sports, club news, class news, department news, grade news, music news, office news, typists, and humor. 1'ierney, Swanson, Reardon. Evans, Hansen, Potter. One of the brilliant spectacles that has brightened up our basketball games played at home is the show that the baton twilers put on during the half time period. Dressed in their snappy white uniforms trimmed in maroon, the six girls performed a repetoire of drills which included baton twirling and gymnastics—back bends, leg splits, etc. This pageantry added color and interest to the basketball games and the crowd greeted them with a round of applause.

The Purple Masque, in the year of 1946-1947, had the usual number of members, twenty-four, under the able direction of Miss Armstrong. At the beginning of the second semester, three one-act plays were presented by this group. They were In The Tunnel, a drama, which included,, Donna Potter, Don Moore, Mary Lou Flaherty, Corinne Lightner, Joanne Swanson, Larry Collins, Jerry Warren, and Hal Hasselbalch; Tea At Four, a mystery, which included Larry Collins, Max Force, Marilynn Goodman, Tracy Clark, Jerry McKay, Billy Cooper, Lois Dannelly, Muriel Shell, Robert McCarty; and Aunt Miranda's Will, a comedy, which included Bob Carter, Connie Clark, Billy Raitt, Patty Novotny, Euna Lee Williams, Mary Force, Mary Ellis, and Morris Dannelly.

Three readings, Gold Star Mother by Donna Potter was judged excellent; The Big Bad Giant, a humorous reading by Billy Cooper was judged good; and And Sudden Death, an oratory by Max Force was judged superior.

Monte Bryan, (Tracy Clark) is a young lawyer working in his father's office. He is in love with Ruby Gershwin, (Velma Curtis) a wealthy debutante, albeit a little spoiled. Monte has promised to escort Ruby to the Junior League Ball, but is wondering where he will get the money for such an expensive evening. Mr. Bryan, Sr. is leaving town for the week-end; Monte has just returned from taking him to the station. Monte calls his father asking for two hundred dollars. The old gentleman tells him that he cannot give him that much but will send him a check for five dollars, by special delivery. This is Mr. Bryan's idea of a joke. Monte knows that if he doesn't take Ruby to the ball, she will go with his hated rival. Polly, (Euna Lee Williams) the stenographer, who is secretly in love with Monte herself .offers to loan him her small savings, but he refuses to accept it. To make things worse, Ervel Stone, (Robert McCarthy) Monte's friend, tells him that he is going to Michigan for the week-end and needs the five dollars that Monte has borrowed from him several weeks before. q The special delivery arrives. Monte gives it to Ervel without opening it, and Ervel supposedly leaves for Michigan. On top of his departure comes a wire from Mr. Bryan, saying that he would like to have seen Monte's face when he opened the letter and found the check made out to cash for two hundred! Then began the mad scramble to find the letter. Before the play is half finished it has passed through a dozen hands, has been lost and found and thrown out and recorded, until everyone is almost exhausted. Other screamingly funny characters are Angie, (Ramona Fusselman) the cleaning woman, John (Max Force) a mysterious electrician who takes the lights apart and cannot get them together again, and Mrs. John Jacobs Jasper, (Lois Reardon) a divorcee on the trail of her husband who has disappeared without paying her her alimony. Thus, the curtain was drawn on a hilarious comedy, presented by the seniors, who kept the audience on the edge of their seats with suspense and laughter. SENIOR CLASS PLAY —28— THE CAST Dick Heatherby, a young college professor Lawrence Collins Susan, his wife Mary Lou Flaherty Buddy Chalmers, a football player Billy Raitt Babs Boswell, Buddy's girl friend Marilynn Goodman Hillington Ross, an old admirer of Susan's Morris Donnelly Diana Mayfield, an old sweetheart of Dick's Marion Brown Violet Miggs, the cook Ramona Iverson 4) Cyclone Miggs, Violet's little brother Jerry McKay Aunt Cordelia Ouackenbush, Dick's wealthy aunt Corinne Lightner Jim Donovan, Susan's quick-tempered father Jerry Warren Mike, a hospital attendant Anton Brenneis Ike, another one James Jeffryes SYNOPSIS Larry Collins a young college professor, and his wife, Mary Lou Flaherty, quarreled over a trivial matter. She left the house threatening to go to Reno, and causing Dick great distress for two reasons. First, because he was really fond of Susan, and, second, because his Aunt, Corinne Lightner, not only contributed materially to the upkeep of the Heatherby home, but was a well-known lecturer on the evils of divorce. Corinne Lightner was coming to visit, and Larry could not let Mary Lou's absence be known. Billy Raitt, one of Dick's pupils and a quick thinker, made a deal with Larry when a Mary Lou had to be produced. A butler also was needed, so Billy's girl friend, Marilynn Goodman, was pressed into service and plenty of trouble in the form of Ramona Iverson, the cook, who thinks Marilyn is a man, and who had a weakness for butlers. Corinne finally showed up and, to Dick's consternation, not one, but three Susans appeared and none of them the real one! When Susan herself returned later to make up with Dick, she ran into a whole house full Of Susans, sweethearts, Aunt Cordelia, etc. Dick, getting in deeper and deeper, decided the emergency called for further deception, and told Corinne that the real Susan, who had fainted was a crazy woman from next door that she thinks every man is her dead husband! Every character became involved in the misunderstandings . . . Marion and Morris, Larry's and Mary Lou's ex-sweethearts; Jerry McKay, Ramona's prize-fighting brother; the asylum attendants, who got hold of Corinne by mistake; and the real Susan's hot-headed father, Jerry Warren, all caused a riot of laughter throughout the entire play. Just when things began to look the worst for everyone, Corinne came through in her unexpected manner, clearing the atmosphere. Larry and Mary Lou both forgave each other; at least tried to forget the crazy doings of the day, and so the curtain came down on one of the funniest farces ever written for amateurs.

Coach Ida, Francisco, Taylor, McKay, Dill, B. Cooper, Matya—Mgr. E. Cooper, Potter, Collins, Edmunds, Koop, Scott. The S. E. H. S. football team completed a successful season this year with 6 wins and only 1 loss. Out of the schedule of 9 games, 2 were not played because of weather conditions. Gregg McBride rated St. Edward 10th in the final state rankings. On the opening night of football practice, 30 boys reported, 8 of them were lettermen. After several weeks of practice the starting lineup was picked for the first game. Backs — Marvin Dickenson, Daymond Francisco, and Billy Cooper; Linemen — Leslie Dill, Jerry McKay, and Robert Barbour. Sept. 23 St. Edward—14, North Loup—13. North Loup was St. Edward's first victim at the homefield on a sunny Tuesday afternoon. The game was hard fought from start to finish and was a real thriller. The score at the half was tied 7-7 and the final score was 14-13. There were mistakes and fumbles but that was to be expected. All of those who played showed room for improvement but they proved too good for the Blue and White. Sept. 26 St. Edward—31, Cedar Rapids—15. Cedar Rapids was next on the list. St. Edward held the convincing margin of y. DAYMOND FRANCISCO CAPTAIN BILLY COOPER LESLIE DILL 16 points at the end of the game, 31-15. The boys from the west could do little against the hard hiting line and fleet backfield. Cooper scooped up a fumble and raced 40 yards for a touchdown. Later he repeated after intercepting a pass and going 55 yards. A last threat was stopped when the Beavers fumbled on their 1, yard line and Cedar recovered. Oct. 4 Game cancelled with St. Mary's of Grand Island. Oct. 11 St. Edward—22, Palmer—12. Palmer playing on their home field could not hold back the rolling attack of the Maroon and White. They were defeated 22-12. Six of their points came by way of an interception of a St. Edward pass by O'Hara who scooted 60 yards to pay dirt. This was immediately offset by a brilliant catch by Dill on Palmer's 1 yard line. A play later, the Beavers scored on a pass from Dickenson to Taylor. Oct. 18 St. Edward—34, Platte Center—13. Platte Center yielded to St. Edward after a close first half. The score at the end of the second quarter was 7-7. Once past the halfway mark the St. Edward six rolled in high Gear, Cooper chalked up 3 touchdowns and Francisco added another while allowing only 6 points to Platte Center. —32— EDDIE COOPER DON NELSON RAYMOND DAWSON Oct. 23 Sacred Heart—44, St. Edward—20. The Beavers met with their lone defeat of the season at the hands of Sacred Heart of Norfolk. After leading 8-6 in the first quarter, they were out-played in the second and at the half the score stood 13-20. Poor blocking and tackling, fumbles, and injuries kept the Maroon attack from getting under way. The St. Edward team did show several good plays, two of them were a pass combined with a run which covered 70 yards by Francisco. Nov. 1 St. Edward—42 Leigh—7 Leigh was thoroughly routed 42—7. Francisco took the kickoff and raced 60 yards for the first tally. He also did very well with 4 out of 6 conversion tries. At the beginning of the second period with the score 20-0, Coach Ida put in the second string. They racked up 3 touchdowns in the two quarters they played. Then the third team was sent in. Against the scrubs Leigh made their only score. Nov. 8 St. Edward—42, Wolbach—20. For the last game, the Beavers overpowered Wolbach 42—20. Francisco led in the scoring parade with four touchdowns, one of which he ran 70 yards. Nov. 11 Game with Arlington cancelled. -33- Thompson, Zimmerman, Potter, Moore. Coach Ida, Edmunds, Taylor, Warren, McKay, E. Cooper, Matya, Mgr. Lightner, Capt. Dill, Fisher, Francisco, B. Cooper. The St. Edward first team led by Captain Leslie Dill, finished a successful season with nine wins and as many losses. They started out with flying colors winning all but one of the first nine games but then ran into various streaks of bad luck and lost the remaining games by margins of one to seven points. At the class C tournament at Columbus, the boys turned back Stromsburg but were put out of the running by a torrid Polk team the following night. For the season the boys were outscored 511—505. High point man for the season was Francisco with 122 points. Best man from the free throw line was Cooper with 20 points for 48 tries. Four members of the team are graduating but next year's squad has gained experience on the second team which was twelve times victorious and defeated in only four games.

Let every voice ring, There's no time to grieve or sigh, It's ever onward, our course pursuing, May defeat ne'er our ardor cool. But, united, we will boost for her, Our Old High School. Faithful and true hearted, Let us boost for our Old High, We revere her and defend her, And her colors proudly fly, We will stand for her, united, Of her deeds we gladly tell. Her colors streaming, Glad faces beaming. So here's cheer for her we all love so well, Honors she has taken, On the track and with the ball, May she always rank the highest, May her colors never fall; There's no other that can match her, When her team is on the field, Her boys the fleetest, Her girls the sweetest. Then here's a cheer for her, For her who ne'er will yield. —40— At 8:15 p. m. on Tuesday, April 15, the curtains of the St. Edward High School stage opened on one of the most lovely settings ever devised on the stage of the annual Style Show sponsored by the Junior class. Fairyland Revue was the central theme for this artistic and colorful display. A huge revolving stage composed of four separate compartments formed the center of the stage. Sylkglass lent additional beauty to the interior of each compartment. The background was furnished by a castle upon which flowering vines were clinging. Parrots, butterflies, toadstools, an array of various multi-colored flowers, a fairy bush, a pixie, and a spider in its web made the scene most realistic. The colored lights which blended appealing contrast on each individual model were unique. The stagecraft and lighting of this most veritable fairyland picture was admired by all who witnessed this performance. As a climax came the crowning of the King and Queen of Fairyland. At a ballot taken earlier by the student body, but kept secret until this moment, the royal couple of the Style Show and their attendants were chosen. Attended by Ramona Fussel-man and Billy Cooper, their gracious majesties, Mary Force and Daymond Francisco, were borne into view by the revolving stage and amidst the flashing of bulbs most charmingly received the homage of their loyal subjects. The committee, Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Peterson and Mrs. Kamrath spared no effort to make this year's affair one of the finest in St. Edward's history. Special mention should be made of the industrious manner in which every member of the junior class worked to make it the success that it was. The narrator, Jerry Warren, made his first appearance at the mike in a very creditable manner.
