Ran and passed well, also handled punting chores. Had the honor of being elected captain and scoring in every game. WERNER-—Offensive and defensive end. Good pass receiver and blocker, but excelled in defense where he was a sure tackier. Caught 11 passes for 285 yards and 5 touchdowns. CARTER—Early season injury ended his career in the third game, but he performed well on both offense and defense until then. He was one of the best blockers on the team and scored the touchdown that started rout of Wood River. MERRELL—As a junior was the largest man on the squad at 210. Served mainly as offensive center. Also caught 3 passes for one touchdown. MOORE—Junior offensive quarterback and defensive safety. Good runner and passer, but excelled in kick returns where he scored 3 of 5 touchdowns. Also did the dropkicking. WERTS—Graduating senior who had part time duty as both offensive and defensive end. Good blocker and tackier. WELLS—Junior who played both halfback and end.

The reserves played most of the second half. Warren Ahrens led the Beavers with 18 points. St. Edwards 52—Cedar Rapids 2 A young inexperienced Cedar Rapids team came to St. Edward for the Beavers first home game. The Beavers led 38-0 at the half and the second team went on from there. Case, Ahrens, Carter, and Werner played good defensive ball. St. Edwards 38—Wood River 0 This was a rough game for the Beavers. Maybe not by the score but the loss of first team end, Bill Carter. Bill scored the first touchdown for the Beavers on an end-around but had to leave the game in the first quarter because of a injured leg. The Beavers went on to win by the fine running of Case and Ahrens. Werner played good defensive ball. St. Edwards 26—Palmer 14 The Beavers got the jump to lead 20-0 at the half, on a very muddy field. The Tigers came back in the second half to out score the Beavers, but it wasn’t enough. The Beavers got their fourth straight win. Halfback St. Edward 8—Platte Center 12 The Trojans and Beavers went three quarters without a score in one of the best defensive games ever seen in St. Ed. Then in the fourth period Ahrens broke loose on a great run to put the Beavers ahead 8-0 Jim Bruckner, Trojan star back, started throwing the ball and put over two late touchdowns. St. Edu ard 18—Sacred Heart 24 Forgetting the loss to Platte Center, the Beavers went to Norfolk and led 12-6 at the half. But it wasn’t enough, for the Knights came back with 18 points in the second half to defeat the Beavers for their loss of the season. St. Edward 39—Rising City 38 This was a see-saw game from the beginning to the end. The Beavers scored first and led 26-25 at half. Rising City came back with 13 points in the third quarter. Then in the fourth period Et. Ed. scored 13 points and another win. St. Edward 6—Bancroft 45 An unbeaten Bancroft team rolled over the Beavers. It was Bancroft all the way. Leading 20-0 at the half, they were never in trouble. Ahrens scored the only touchdown for the Bea ers. The Beavers had one touchdown called back, which was a 31-yard run by Case.

THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY LIGHTNER LUMBER CO. much SENIOR CLASS PLAY Dec. 7, 1951, a large, enthusiastic crowd attended the Senior Class Play, “Dear Ruth.” It was acknowledged as one of the finest comedies ever produced at St. Ed. high. Mirium starts the plot by writing letters to an Air Force Lieutenant overseas and signs her older sister’s name to them. The Lieutenant, Bill Seawright, comes home and falls in love with Ruth who is engaged to Albert, a stuffy bank attendant. Ruth decides to carry through with the Lieutenant’s plans in order to keep up his morale until he has to go back overseas. She finds herself deeply involved. More deeply than she realizes because she falls in love with the impulsive Lieutenant. Harry, Ruth’s father, trys to straighten tilings out but only makes them worse. Martha and Chuck, two ex-sweethearts, meet again and decide to get married. Edith rushes around trying her best to make everyone happy but only succeeds to become more confused herself. Everything turns out well in the end and Bill and Ruth are married. A surprise ending occurs when Dora, the maid, lets in a sailor, Harold Klobbermeyer, who wants to see Ruth. The rest is left to your imagination. The play was a success from beginning to end with everyone enjoying the best laughs of their lives.

The Pep Club sponsored a banquet for the football, basketball, and track teams in honor of the talent they have shown for “Good Old S. E. H. S.” Our Pep Club would not be complete without our humorous skits put on at pep rallies, and the artists who decorate the boards before the games. SPONSORED BY BANK OF ST. EDWARD The yawning class of the day at 8:00 a. m.! Anyone who has the will power to get up and be at band by eight o’clock, please report to Miss Schmid. Early riser is Jerry Brunk, who peddles his papers and gets to band-practice before anyone else. Introduced this year in band, was the “point system.” Each member begins with 250 points, 1 point is taken off for each unexcused tardy and 5 points are taken off for each unexcused absence. These points go toward helping pupils earn their major and minor letter in music. Top Row: Second Row: Third Row: Front Row: Middle Row: Bottom Row: K. Martin, R. Fusselman, B. Van Wey, A.

In observance of National FHA Week, an exhibit was set up in a downtown store window, the sophomore girls gave a tea for the mothers of FHA girls, and a large number of girls attended church as a group. A Sadie Hawkins Dance gave the girls a chance to see how it feels to be in the boy’s shoes. Money was sent to the World Christmas Festival for children of other countries. Other plans for the year included a home safety project and entertaining the eighth grade girls with a talent night. A large number of girls worked for homemaking degrees.

Rockhead McGuire, Riverbottom U’s hope for winning the track meet, has been confined to the dorm for an infraction of the rules. Philip spirits him away in a box and hides him in the workshop of J. Oliver Twibbly, who is fanatically at work completing his Various Machine. Josephine, a professional football player, keeps her rendezvous with Rockhead, but creates a panic when she proceeds to show the ancient Twibbly some of the fine points of the game. Phillip, scheduled to marry Vickie that morning, stands her up in the interests of the track team, of which he is manager. Mrs. Mince, next-door shopkeeper, is almost out of her mind worrying about the Various Machine, which explodes at the most inopportune moments. She also is worried about her daughter, Violet, who wants to capture Philip. Mrs. Mince finally employes Squintin Glower, a mercenary hypnotist, in an attiempt to win Phillip over. But the scheme backfires when Rockhead falls under the hypnotist’s spell, and responds immediately to the suggestion that he is a duck. From this point on, catastrophe climbs into the driver’s seat, all good farces, the madly tangled complications are straightened However, as in out in the end. I’m sure the high point of your season was easily reached when you saw “In Spring the Sap,” a farce in three acts by Guernsey LePelley. J. Oliver Twibbly—Neil Kearney.

'4K JJ f April 5 Early in the morning a carload of sleepy-eyed girls and their' sponsor started for Lincoln and F. H. A. convention. Those who went were Adrene Staack, Nana Cumming, Beth Hirsch, Beth Weldon, Kathryn Cruise, Judy Carter, and Lois Matzen. After registering at Teacher’s College High School at the University, Beth Weldon went to the polls to vote for state officers. For months before thq convention our chapter had been besieged with campaign circulars for the different officers, and the chapter chose the candidates they wished to elect. The business meeting was held in the auditorium at Love Memorial Library. Nana answered roll call for our chapter; Beth H. spoke for the chapter on the subject “World Christmas Festival”, one of the national projects. St. Edward was chosen to help count ballots, so we sent Judy to work. She knew who the state officers were long before we did. The business meeting was smoothly run and very interesting. The 1951-52 state officers certainly knew what they were doing all the time. We finished early, with a little time to look around the Union before Luncheon began at 12. There are so many F. H. A. chapters in the state now that each chapter is allowed to send only a proportion of their membership as delegates; even so, the student Union ballroom was completely filled by the time each girl had a place to eat. At the dinner meeting Miss Lela Smartt, our national advisor, was the main speaker. After dinner installation of new officers was held; honor chapters were awarded; and those girls receiving State Homemaker Awards were presented. April 25 Catherine Hasslbalch and Gayle Collins represented the speech department of the St. Edward High School at the Fine Arts Festival in Lincoln. Catherine received a rating of excellent on poetry reading and Gayle received a rating of excellent on a dramatic reading, “Elizabeth The Queen.” Three students from the music department, Jo Lightner, Maureen Marzen, and Rogene Fusselman attended the Fine Arts Festival Saturday. The girls received criticisms but scholarships were not awarded until a later date. Bottom Row: H. Milburn, L. Eckland, B. Moore, J. Westmore, T, Weed, B. Wieland, Coach Tom Cook. Middle Row: H.
