We enjoyed having her as our sponsor very much. Class officers were elected as follows: President Chet Binegar Vice-President Don Kugler Secretary-Treasure Phillip Merrill Sag-of-arms Gene Kramer Our class motto is “A winner never quits and a quitter never wins.” Our class colors are wine and gray, and our flower is the white carnation. This was the second year that the Junior class was able to go to County Govern- ment day in North Platte. This was very interesting experience, and we all enjoyed it. We have enjoyed this year very much and look forward to being good Seniors next year. 15

Freshman Initiation Thursday, September 29, the Freshies came to school in the cutest costumes. They wore long-legged underwear, striped stockings, short skirts, shirts inside out and backwards and green ribbons around their ankles. Both th eboys and the girls had their hair in pin curls. In the morning they were decorated by the Seniors with lots of liostick and rouge and “Freshie” written across their noses in green. They spent the entire day obeying the Seniors, The next evening they wore these same costumes to the initiation party. They walked the plank, had a mixture of feathers, macaroni, and tomatoes put on their faces and limburger cheese put under their noses. After this was over we had a hilarious Truth or Consequences Program. A lunch of ice cream, cake, and pop was served. Three of our Freshies were so unfortunate as to miss out on this delicious lunch because they were cleaning fly paper off their feet. This was the result of the Truth or Consequences Program. Everyone will now admit, even the Freshmen, that they had a good time but wouldn’t want to go through it again. 14

Junior Class Play Bolts and Nuts CHARACTERS BENITA BOLT LUTIE SPINKS REBECCA BOLT........... MARTHA GRUBB........... TWINK STARR DOCTOR HIPPOCRATES JOY HENRY GOOBER.

DON KUGLER JOYCE LEONHARDT HERMAN GRAUERHOLZ ----- BEVERLY WINKLE .......GENE KRAMER -----GEORGE CROSBY The setting of the play was at the Bolt Sanitarium when Miss Rebecca Bolt, whose hobby was psychoanalysis, inherited a spooky old mansion from an eccent- ric brother and turned it into a sanitarium for patients with phobias and nervous diseases much to the dismay of her niece, Benita. Whereupon the nuts started to pour in, and the fun began in earnest. Lutie Spinks, the man hating maid had a nervous habit of winking that got her into trouble with flirtatious men patients. Gertie Glossip, had a contagion- phobia and all but assphysiated everybody else with her various spraying machines. Cadwalleder Clippy, had a catphobia and was frightened nearly out of his wits by his pet cat of malicious littl Wilbur, a problem child. Prunella Figg, suffered from claustrophobia. Martha Grubb, the cook, fairly wallowed in melancholy, and Plunkett, the foxy family lawyer, developed a persecution com- plex while Henry, the darky porter, harbored a natural fear of lunatics and all their works. Even Twink Starr, Benita’s young man whose suit was tabooed by Rebecca, joined the company of nuts in disguise, parading an acute case of delusions of grandeur in hope of finding a chance to soften the hard heart of Rebecca. Hiliarious situations developed with Dr. Hippocrates Joy, a synthetic psychiatriast who undertook to cure the patients. Complications multiplied as Rebecca searched for her brother’s money. It was hidden in the house and anyone finding it could keep part of it. The people were faking their phobias and looking for the money. Its final discovery through the ingenuity of Twink Starr, forms a fitting climax for this fast moving farce of many laughs. Thanks to the hard work of Miss McConnell and Mrs. Fincey, the juniors presented a creditable performance. 16
