Class Prophecy Here we are in the year 1974- I We've just returned from a twenty-year vacation on Mars, that sunny vacation land over the sky, and are waiting for a space-pass at the Flying Cup here in New York City. While we're waiting, let's catch up on the latest news by reading this newspaper, the World-Wide Times, edited by none other than Joan Leonard. If I remember correctly, she was the editor of our '54 annual in high school. Look at some of the front page news! Admiral Gilbert Schmidt has recently been appointed head of the United States Navy .and will be in New York tomorrow to launch one hundred new space ships. This On The Spot column written by the world-famous columnist Gloria Ahlvers looks interesting. Gloria has also taken Ed Sullivan's place on Ghost of the Town which has been rated the top TV show for 25 years now. There are certainly some in- teresting items in this column. 'That noted orator, Barbara Larsen, is speaking tonight at Liberty Hall. She will tell of her visit with President Johnson at the Black House. I never dreamed Larry Johnson would one day be President, but that boy always did have great possibilities. The two Nobel Prizes have been awarded to two very outstanding and deserving people this year! One goes to Sondra Haas, a missionary in Africa, who has done a miraculous job of Christianizing over a million cannibals and setting up one hundred churches there. The other award goes to Dr. Doris Wentzel for curing the world K of polio and writing that best-seller book, GERMS, AT HOME AND ABROAD, There are a few other important facts in this column. Donna Carlson, noted New York socialite, gave a ball at one of her homes in honor of Gene Baier. Gene now owns every oil well in Texas. Among the guests were Harold Fleer, owner of the world's largest bubble gum factoryg Margaret Claus, secretary to a Harvard professor, Paul ,Iohnsong Elaine Fork, head of the national 4-H clubs, and Marian Kugler, world-famous model. I guess that's all the news in that column. What's this? Local Man Breaks Record-- Sits on Top of Capitol for Three Years. Why, that picture of him looks exactly like Bob Morris--it is, Let's look at some more pictures on this page. Here's a picture of the new ten-story bakery, Frosting Palace, owned by om' good friends, Barbara Buehner and Lowell Swede Johnson. They're celebrating their twentieth anniversary in the bakery business. The Most Eligible Bachelor of the Year award goes to Arlen Harris this year. From the looks of the picture, he certainly is. Next to it is one of Nancy Grimm who has been chosen Miss Universe of 1974. Oh, what's on this page? It is the sports news! There should be some old classmates of ours with jobs as coaches now. They won the district tournament in '54. The editor of Sports on Parade is none other than Gordon Red Zapp who participated actively in all high school sports. Gerald Baker has been the World's Champion Boxer for ten years now. His manager is Neal Renter. Paul Koplin, noted track star has been named Track Star Champ for running on every railroad track in the U. S. The famous all-American basketball player, Jerry Korff, is now coach at the University here. Marilyn Henegar has just swam the Atlantic Ocean in fifty days, lreaking the world's record. Rod Tietsort, manager and top pitcher for the New York Yankees announces the beginning of the World Series once again. That's all for the sports section. Let's find out what's on television tonight by looking at the Entertainment Page, edited by Karen June Longe. Karen has taken Tallulah Bankhead's place. At five the Kitchen Klatter Show , starring Betty McCullough, famed home economist, is on. This show is a favorite of young and old. At six Advice to Young Married Couples is on with the famed author Berlene Echtenkamp giving her personal views on marriage. Fishnet is on tonight starring Junior Peterson, former Dragnet Kid, and Gayle Grubb, who is a finger man for the F.B.I. and also draws the comic strip Frownin' Mac. Other shows that are super are I Love Josie starring Josephine Brader and Dick Kluge. They are well on their way to stardom. Acts from the Morris and jordan Circus will be shown on Channel 3 tonight. Some of the acts which are featured are the tight rope walker, Beverly Welch, Larry Muhs's Death Dodgersg Jere Milliken's Jeep Racesg Lynal Longe and her trained seal, Murlen Ulrich's Magic Show , and Mary Ann Nelson's Talking Turtles. Patty and 'Maureen's Circus is the greatest sensation since Barnum and Bailey. I'm tired of looking for TV shows. Let's see what other enter- tainment they have in New York. Charlie's Stork Club opens tonight with the famed trumpet player, Charles Messer- schmidt, and his all-girl orchestra performing. The featured vocalist is Wilma Temme and the jazz dancer is Marcia Witmer. Marcia is known throughout the world for her dancing ability. Virginia Proett and Henry Thomsen, actress and actor of the year, will be special guests at the Stork Club tonight. They were given recognition for their outstanding per- formance in The Earl Green Story. just a few more news items before we leave in our jet. Sally Liveringhouse now owns a diamond mine in Burma while Sharon Lindsay owns a ruby mine in Siberia. What luck! Madame joan Pawelski, fashion column editor, reveals the latest fashions for spring. Men's overcoats are the style for women this year while men are dyeing their crewcuts various pastel colors for Easter. Hasn't this been fun--getting to read a newspaper twenty years ahead of time? These predictions probably won't come trueg but you can never tell, they might! I. P55 Iunior I Q. I 1 P , , v H . t' -A r 4 .y A f .

From the very beginning the boys who were enrolled in these courses in the various states felt a spirit of comradeship due to their background of country life and their desires with regard to farming as a vocation. Within a few years a number of local departments of vocational agriculture in most of the states had developed so-called Agricultural Clubs, the membership being composed of the students of vocational agriculture. These clubs, under the guidance of enterprising local teachers, marked the first expression of students of vocational agriculture to band together and do things in an organ- ized way. ln 1928 the first F.F.A. Convention was held. They drew up the constitutions, purposes, and ceremonies at this meeting. F.F'.A. Chapters are found in all 4.8 states, Hawaii, and Purto Rico. Similar organizations are found in several foreign countries. I There are 8,400 chapters in the United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico with a total membership of 350,000 young boys. Nebraska was the sixth state to have Vocational Agriculture. 'Today there are 136 high SCl100lS in Nebraska that have Vocational Agriculture. The F.F.A. in Wayne was started in 1945 with 10 members. They were Claude Harder, Marvin Echtenkamp, Bob Penn, Holland Victor, Gene Frederickson, Roy Ronnfeldt, Jerry Ash, Loren Willers, Ralph Biermann, and Merlin Biermann. Today the membership of the Wayne F.F.A. Chap- ter is 28. For activities the chapter has a gilt chain with three registered gilts. Agriculture boys take soil tests and run germination tests on seeds. During the Christmas Season the Chapter sells Christmas cards in the community. In September the chapter attended a livestock show in Wisner, and in November we went to Schuyler to the District Leadership Conference. On March 6 we went to Pender to the District F'.F.A. Parliamentary Procedure and Creed Speaking Contest. The State Vocational Agriculture Convention and Judging Contest were held during the first week of April. The Chapter sponsored a parent-son banquet the last part of March. Coralyn Price was chosen F'.F'.A. Sweetheart. 7 A BACK ROW: fleft to rightj Harvey Mohlfeld, Earl Fuoss, Ferris Meyer, Darrel Hanson, Richard Paulson, Geralld1dKniesche, Don Schulz, Harlan Ruwe, Merle Roeber, Larry Westerman, Valerius Meyer, Larry Heit o .

'T INf7P'x' Pep C0 DEVILS GO! GO DEVILS GO! The roar of 62 v0iCeS yelling in unison, the thrill of 62, girls in white skirts and blue blouses standing and singing when the Pep Band plays Three Cheers for Wayne High --that's the Blue Devilettes! The Pep Club always bolstered the team with yells whether they were playing at home or in Lincoln or Omaha. Cheerleaders this year were Marian Kugler, Sondra Haas, Donna Carlson, Karen Schmitz, and Janet Ingalls. Some of the activities of -the Pep Club have been putting on pep rallies featuring clever skits written by various members of the group, yelling in the halls on game days, advertising the game by making posters and writing on the boards, decorating the stadium and the goal posts, and giving a banquet for the athletic teams at the end ofthe season. Business meetings were held on Mondays at four o'clock. Rodney Tietsort and Barbara Buehner were crowned King and Queen respectively of the annual Grid Dance sponsored by the Pep Club at the close of the football season. Ns. Club At football games you're sure to find the blue- jacketed Pep Club members selling coffee, hot dogs, taverns, pop corn, pop, and candy bars. At basket- ball games, ice cream bars and carmel apples are offered in place of coffee and taverns. This year the Devilettes purchased the blue jackets, a Frank Bank for cooking hot dogs, and helped the W Club buy their time clock. When the basketball team played in the State Tournament, the Pep Club chartered two busses in order that Pep Club members and other students would have transportation to the Tournament. Officers for the year have been as follows: presi- dent, Betty McCulloughg vice president, Linda Becky secretary, Gloria Ahlversg treasurer, Norriene Olson, and student council representative, Barbara Larsen. Sponsors have been Mr. Carlson and Mrs. Fisher.

Larry Hofeldt gained nearly half of Wayne's yardage. Wayne met a good team from South Sioux City and came out on the short end of the score, 26 to 7 in a razzle- dazzle game of football. It was the first defeat of the season. A wet turf Coach Macieiewski on the college field hampered both and Love. teams. Wayne won the west half of the Husker Conference when they defeated Wisner, 12 to 7g however, it was a costly victory because Larry Hofeldt broke his collarbone. He had previously run 68 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. Dick Longe did a good job of pass catching. In the last regularly scheduled game of the season, Wayne was de- feated by Plainview, 13 to 0. Fumbling and the loss of a couple of players on account of sickness hindered Wayne. In the play-off game Wayne was out for revenge, because Oakland had previously beaten Wayne two times. In this game Wayne looked good but was taken by surprise with a couple of screen passes and the score was 13 to 6 in favor of Oakland when the final whistle blew. Gordon Zapp, filling in for Hofeldt, did some good running at fullbackg and Gilbert Schmidt and Lowell Johnson looked good defensively. Larry Hofeldt, a sophomore back, made honorable mention for Class B in the World Herald selections. G- - .

Wayne High School's basketball season came to a climax when they won the 1954 District Tournament by defeating Bloomfield 61 to 51. Starting with five letter men, Coach Maciejewski brought the team through a season which resulted in 14 wins and 6 losses. Wayne won their first five games before dropping a 56 to 37 contest with Stanton, however, the teamxwent on to tie with Stanton and Wisner for the west half championship of the Husker Conference. Stanton represented the west half of the Conference in the play-off game with Lyons, the winner of the east half, because Wisner and Wayne had been in a play-off game since Stanton had. In order to tie for the championship, Wayne beat Wisner in a thrilling game, 76 to 65. Larry Hofeldt scored 31 points, and he and Gordon Zapp turned in a good game under the boards. Lowell johnson, Jerry Korff, Rodney Tietsort, Dick Longe, and Steve Pawelski did a superb job to help gain this important victory. After their game with Wisner, the Blue Devils dropped one to Schuylerg and then they .came back to life and beat Bloomfield before entering the District Tournament. 'In the tournament, Wayne squeezed by South Sioux City 45 to 445 and the pressure of tournament play showed a little on the fellows. But, they snapped out of it after a night's layoff and bounced back to beat Tekamah 67 to 61. In the tournament finals, the Blue Devils gave one of their best team performances of the entire season by defeating Bloomfield in a game which featured a four- minute stall. Lowell Johnson played one of his better games and came through when points were needed. Bloomfield had reached the finals by beating Blair, the team which was supposed to win the tournament, in the semi-finals. Wayne's bid at the State Tournament in Lincoln was cut short in the first round of play when they ran up against the tall Lincoln Teachers quintet. The team gave a creditable performance but lost 52 to 41. Rodney Tietsort scored 18 points to lead the Wayne players. A .
