SNEAK DAY The Senior Class of 1961 arose early on March 24 as they prepared to fulfill their plans of sneaking away from S.E.H.S. for a day. It was approximately 5:00 a.m. when we left. Mr. Galen Johnson drove the school bus and Mr. and Mrs. Liewer were our sponsors. At 7 a.m. we were eating breakfast in Fremont. From there we motored on to Boys' Town for a very interesting and educational tour. Due to the detours we found that we were a little late to Swift and Co., our next stop. A guide showed us the processing of meat from slaughter to package. We enjoyed a free dinner on the 10th floor of Brandeis, from the 10th floor we could view the city. During the afternoon we bowled and shopped. We ate supper at Caniglias. As the high lite of the day we attended Cinerama at the Cooper theatre. 13 b v SENIOR PROPHECY In the year of 1971, while taking our annual trip around the world, we decided to visit our old friends from S.H.H.S. Let's see, our first visit will be with BOB CRUISE, he is a judge of the Miss America beauty contest, Bob always 1 did have an admiration for curves. In a lumber camp in Northern Ontario, we find CONNIE JASA married to a huskie lumberjack. She finds life very interesting, one of her many hobbies is making toothpicks out of splinters she finds in her husband's pant's cuffs. Next we see MELVIN CARLSON counting herns in THE CARLSON NATIONA1 BANK. Then we find MARVIN RINKOL happily married and after all these years he is not henpecked. He told us the reason as, My wife goes her way and I go--hers. CYNTHIA OSANTOWSKI is a hard working woman now as a midget window cleaner. She goes around cleaning people's eyeglasses. A lonely whistle shrills through the night, it's the midnight freight bound for New Orleans. In a swaying boxcar, we find happy-go-lucky EUDELL REMMEREID, taking his yearly trip south. LINDA JAMES is now St. Edward's first policewoman. She is doing more to preserve law and order than ten men. If one were to go to the new Gypsy Tea Room, he would find MARJORIE DICKENSON as the fortune teller, she has a very profitable business. ALAN SMITH has made his life ambition come true, he is now a renowned playboy of New York society. LINDA WEEK resides in a Park Avenue apartment. She married a Fuller Brush man that was just passing through. He swept her away. Now we see GENE KLASSEN, he is retired as he has spent these last ten years as a missionary to Cannibal Islands, where he taught them reading, writing, arithmetic and how to prepare food properly. DONNA LONG joined the circus to become a sword swallowe: but troubles mounted as she developed a chronic case of hiccups. MAX THOMAZIN, a potential lady killer of S.E.H.S. turned away from women before it was too late. He is a well-known author now. His latest book is Catch Me If You Can. South of Austin, Texas we find GLORIA SWANSON running a profitable business. She manufactures the glue that holds hot tamales together. If one was to go to the famous Tistight Dress Shoppe in gay Paris, one would find DELORIS LAWRENCE, world renowned dress designer, creating a new masterpiece. GARY HOWSER is still a politician at heart, but in a different catagory--pulling strings in a corset factory. On the shores of Newfoundland lives LINDA ANDERSON. She married a fisherman. Something fishy about how they met, Linda opened a can of sardines and there he was. Love at first sight. RONNIE CRUISE is now a professional organist in the Methodist Church in Yukon, Canada. We find DONN McKAY in the French Foreign Legion polishing off camels by the pack. For our last visit we take highway 104 through Death Valley, we find SHARON REED right in the middle. She runs a 24-hour combination restaurant and filling station. 14 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Class of 1961 of St. Edward High School, in the town of St. Edward, County of Boone, State of Nebraska, being of sound mind and body, do hereby make this our last will and testament, revoking all previous and former wills made by our hands. First, we leave to the dear and beloved faculty a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated, and we hereby give, free from all inheritance, luxury or income tax, our entire store of knowledge. From them it came and to them it should be returned, that others may be benefited by it as we have been. Second, to the Junior Class we leave our dignity and ability to carry out responsibilities so that the school will remain endurable under their leadership. Third, to the Sophomore Class, we leave our ability to plan and organize so their projects won't be failures. Fourth, to the Freshman Class, we leave our manners. We also give to them our good sense of humor so they won't take life seriously. Fifth, as we leave SEHS, we have a few personal gifts that we would like to pass on. They are as follows: I, Linda Anderson, do will and bequeath my safe driving ability to Lee Kemper so he can get as many scratches . on his car as I have. I, Melvin Carlson, do will and bequeath my blonde hair to Jeryce Gasper, so she won't be the only red haired girl in school. I, Robert Cruise, do will and bequeath the clips on my shoes to Ernie Carlson so that he may be steadfast on foot. 111, Ronald Cruise, do will and bequeath my ability to trap??? to Daryl Reynoldson so he can be as successful as I have been. I. Marjorie Dickenson, do will and bequeath my neat hair to Dale Martin so he will be more appealing to the girls. I, Gary Howser, do will and bequeath my ability to pay attention in class to Charlotte Gragert to improve her outstanding participation in class. . I, Linda James, do will and bequeath my slim figure to Mary Ellen Long so she will not have to worry about her weight anymore. I, Connie Jasa, do will and bequeath my ability to stay home at night to Terry Wieland so she may catch up on her sleep. I, Gene Klassen, do will and bequeath my parking place on Kangaroo Hill to Mike Smith so he can get caught as many times as I have. e. I, Deloris Lawrence, do will and bequeath my height to George Stone so he can become a great basketball player. I, Donna Long, so will and bequeath my ability to be true to a guy in service to Deanna Flaherty and Ardys Crosier so they won't have a guilty conscience. I, Donn McKay, do will and bequeath my pleasing personality to anyone who might feel grumpy. I, Cynthia Osantowski, do will and bequeath my record of straight 5 s to Herman Gragert so that he may be the brain of his class. I, Sharon Reed, do will and bequeath my mustard seed to Lorrie Werner in hopes that she will have better luck with it than I did. I, Eudell Remmereid, do will and bequeath my grades to Nick Fonda so that he can have a one day vacation when he is a Senior. (Regents Exam) I, Marvin Rinkol, do will and bequeath my ability to give the teachers something to talk about to Doug Matzen so the teachers will have someone to tease after I leave. I, Alan Smith, do will and bequeath my size as a football player to Gary Kinzer so he will be able to play on Varsity football his Senior year. I, Gloria Swanson, do will and bequeath my trips to the mountains to anyone who may get bored with school next year. I, Max Thomazin, do will and bequeath my ability to send my ring South for the winter to Clete Werner so it won’t be so heavy on his hand. I, Linda Week, do will and bequeath my noisy ways to Gayle Steckel so she will always be noticed. Witnesses: Linda Week Lawyer; I. M. Dunn Marvin Rinkol Connie Jasa 15 BACK ROW L to R.

OFFICE HELP m HI-LITES - During the month of June four students of S.E.H.S. spent some time in Lincoln, Nebr. They were Audrey Carlson and Doug Matzen who were attending All-State and Gloria Swanson and Alan Smith who represented St. Edward at the 1960 Cornhusker GIRLS' and BOYS' STATE. On August 29 the school year began. September 13, 30 freshmen were initiated and a dance followed. The Seniors went to O'Neill to have their class pictures taken on October 1.
