Dear Pup1l s of Colleg e V1ew H1gh School:

Educa t1 on is re ga rded as so important to good c1tizensh1p t h at schools are ma1n t ained for every boy and g1rl. The cost of giv ing this opportunity is borne by taxation so that education may be as universal as possible, It is compulsory so that _ non e may miss its benefits.

Progress Through Educ ation

A short v iew of huma n pro g ress would see m to sho w that the imp rovem e n t of the race has bee n ex t reme1y s low and tedious When one ta kes the long v iew how ever , it can be seen t h at the trend h a s be en in the directi on of th e g ood

We le arn fro m experience , an indiv idual may profit b y his own m istakes , alt he,ugh we are f r e q u e n t 1 y disma y ed at the app are n t inability of one t o lea rn through the proc ess 01 trial and error.

If each pupil senses the importance of making the beet use of his t1me and talent wh1le in school, there is every reason to believe that educat1on w111 make a great contribution to progress. If you prize the privilege you have enjoyed and have profited personally from it, you are under lasting obligation to

repay these benefits by the service you can give to your community and the state. This is the meaning of the adage: 1 He serves himself best who best serves others".

I trust that College View High School has stimulated your beet effort. If it has, you have acquired not only knowledge and desirable habits of study and conduct, but also a recognition

of the important role that commendable character qualities right attitudes play in one's success and happiness.

MCL/J

Science has also a ided morai and intellectual development. The mind of man is better able to assimilate knowledge and put thi s knowledge to effect ive use for his betterment tha n eve r be fore in the history of the world

Improvement c ome s as a result o f education . The same forces that produce mate r ia l betterment will bring about desirable develop ment in t h e realm of the moral and ethica l if we are w ill ing to make use of them to this end .

Intellectu al developmen t and p rogres s in mater ial th ings are no t en o ugh. There mus t be a c o rre s pond in g development o f th e desire for the right a nd the will to do right. We are unable to point with too great a degree of pr ide to our accomplis hme n ts i n th is direction Yet the mora l and eth ical stand ard s o f the race have improved fro m one century to the ne x t.

Our Jacuftlj

We have been exceptionally fortunate in our faculty. The y have co-operated with us i n every activity , without exception , g1vmg their time freely and helping us in our endeavors to better our school. It is to t hem that we owe the succe ss o f such various ac tivities as the school plays and opere tta, t he Purple and Gold, and the Viewpoint. The clubs which they sponsor, the home room activities , are all due to the efforts of our faculty and through them is achie v ed a modern , efficient school l ife .

Our faculty is imbu ed with an inherent sense of h umor, so essential to the w ell -being of classes. Somew h a t o v e rlo aded w i th work , they neve rthel ess can fi nd time to exp lain an ything from the Monroe Doctr ine and hie, haec , hoc t o th e e lectron th e o ry or any theorem in Eucl id.

Teac hing some time s seems the least of i t as w e se e the mill of individua l st udent problems through whic h the faculty must pass each d a y

Teachers h a ve a great influence on those whom they teach , and we are fortunote in having such a fine faculty for this reason. Teachers become lasting friends , and it is with considerable regret that the seniors leave the present facul ty

Deadly in earnest these boys didn ' t have lime to sto p and show their faces. Despite handicap s the b o y s played their games of football with zest and ability.

Nevertheless in every case a large cheering section followed .the boys, both far and near. and could they yell!

Senior Clas s Spo nsors

It was the fate of Mr. Julius Humann and Mr. Stephen Turille to be our class sponsor s, during both our junior an d senior years. Since they wer e in great demand as spons ors we consider ourselves to be fortunate in securing the m for ·our class.

Mr. Humann spen t seventeen years of his early life on a western Canadian farm. This experience has brought many an en joyable tale, such as threshing wheat at 20 ° below zero, and walking to school at 53 :i below and fighting mosquitoes the s i ze of Nebraska crows Living in Canada d u rin g h is e a rly youth probably account s for h is int ere st in skating and hockey He c a me to the United States in the spring of 1926 on a concert tour featuring ' 'The Humann Brothers Male Quartet. " Attra cte d by the educational facilities of Linco ln, they dec ided to make this their headquarters. Mr. H u mann holds a Bachelor o f Arts degree from the Union College and a Maste r of Arts degree from the University o f Nebraska, with a major in English He has taught eleven years in the Nebras ka high schools, nine of which have been in our school. For the past year he has been the p res ident of the Lincoln Teacher ' s Ass o c iation , and this spring was re-elected to serve anoth er term as head of the faculties of the Lincoln schools. We are proud o f the fact that Mr Humann 's influence has gone beyond our own class and school.

Mr. Humann supervised the business side of both our senior play and the 1938 Viewpoint. He directed the operetta " Tune In," given in 1938.

When all 's said and done we ' ll say his intelligenc e and originality are hard to equal and "he ' s a jolly good fellow ."

Mr Turille was born in Nebraska City and graduated from the high school there. Graduating from Peru State College with a Bachelor of Arts degree , he received a Master of Arts degree from the University of 1innesota, with a major in Commercial

Education His teaching experience consists of fi ve years in western Nebraska and two y ears in Lincoln schools .

Mr. Turille is a typical business man , be i ng very effic ient , matter-of-fact and capable of shouldering responsibilities . He has held positions as bookkeeper in Falls City, a law clerk in Nebraska City and has served as a court reporter in southwestern Nebraska.

This year Mr. Turille coached the senior play, sponsored the editorial part of the 1938 annual, aided the dramatic supervis ion of the operetta and is also the C. V Hi-Y club ' s most ardent sponsor

Mr. Turille is interested in drama and the art of make-up. He has produced a book on high school dramatics as well as a number of articles on varied subjects and severa l orations and one-act plays . In March o 1938 his article on Nebraska History appeared in the "Nebraska History Magazine. '

His hobby is writing, as you well car see, and this versatile teacher once was ar amateur boxer. Mr. Turille is working for c commission in the army and keeps payrol records for the National Guard. He is mar ried and has a two and a half year old son Stewart James. Their summer home is ir Red Wing, Minn esota As for tightenin~ loose ends and putting finishing touches tc ragged edges, his ability is incomparablE His com i nq to College View High School, i: undoubtedly to our good fortune

Our appreciation for their' kindness anc patience in all our associations, is so grea that mere printed matter seems superfluou :::md unable to express our gratitude.

s hooling with the exception of three years was attained in College View. Beside s her scholastic standing she plans to major either in teaching or home econom ics at the University of Nebra s ka Her cleverness and charming pe rsonality will give her p resti ge where-ever she may go. We bestow upon Edna Dou gla s, another capable and interesting s cho lar, the honor of Salutatorian , majoring in Engli sh and mathematics and minoring in languages. Her averag e for the three years in high school was 95 .61. We are proud of the fact that Edna has attended College View schools during her entire school life. Edna is a conscientious worker and she always doe s her be st. Her pleasant and winning way s will be an asset to her all through life At the present time her plan s for the future include a cour se in C osmetology.

Speakers

It is customary for the College View Hig h School to choose two students from its graduatin g class to give an oration o n commencemen t n ight. This privilege and responsibilit y is one of the highest honors of the gradua tion exerc ises The requirements are that the sub ject must be suitable to the trend of the times , original, prepared by th e students themselves and the ir capac ity to deliver it e ffectively. Those chosen for the commenceme nt speakers were Carol Wheeler and Ben Fleet.

The t itle of Carol Wheeler 's oration was " Ameri can Slang ." This talk was on the peculiarities of the use of the English language in var ious sections of the United States and by various trades, professions and classes of people . Hum orous illustrations were con stantly brought out.

Scholars

The honor students are chosen str ictly on the basis of their grades during the three years of S enio r High School work. This class as a whole is high in the scholastic stan ding There are ten students with an average of 90 or above The s-e student s kee p up th eir social activities as well as their grades Pre senting now the honor st udent of 1938 !

We are happy to introduc e Betty Belle Barney as Valedictorian . The fine work done by Bett y Belle places her first in the class of 1938 with an average of 96 .6 9 She ma jored in English and lan guages and has a minor in mathematics. A ll of her

Her literary abi lity sho uld be an asset to he r in the jou rnalistic course sh e plans to take at University of Nebraska next year .

The sub jec t of Ben Fleets dis cours e was " The Home of the Free ." In this speech he tried to present to young Ame rica ns the fact that th e United States is the great est country on earth, that there are more opportunities and possibilities for the high school graduate her e than anywhere e lse.

Ben kno wn better as " Doc Fleet " will att end the University of Nebraska next year with his ambition of lat er studying at the John Hopkins Hospital and Me dical School. During his high school career he has been president of his class and of the Hi-Y and has given his support to many other activities. From his past records we feel that his success is assured

May I present to you this a mbidext rous, infinitesimally ambiguous, effe rvescent, in comprehensibly tenacious group mor e commonly known to you as THE SENIORS OF 1938!

.R.s every other history begins we, too, entered this high scho ol in the fall of the year. In 1934, with about fif ty boys and girls, we elected officers for th e ensuing freshman year with James Stransky , president; Elma Riechenberg , vice president ; Vera Sevier , secretary

.R.h , but as sophomores ! For the first tir..1e the class found itself united into one home room under the sponsorsh i p of Miss Perry Thos e officers elect ed were June Whalen, presi dent; Pauline Watkins, vicepresident ; Winona Francke , secretarytreasurer

.After a short but satisfactory summer secession we returned to school to a new home room and a new teacher , Mr. Turille.

Swinging into full tilt , October 1S wa s

S evier, Pres i dent emb lazoned w'ith " Fleet Leads Juniors " as h e was elected pre si dent; Edna Dougla s, v i ce-president ; Winona Francke, secretarytreasurer.

Representatives to the Student Council for that yea.r were: Vera Sevier , vice-president , Eva Pederson, secretary , Jimmy Vorhies and Dale Nannen.

Ben Fleet and Betty Knowles took over the P & G.

.Along with Cliff Thomas, Betty Belle Barney and Dorothy Frederick were chosen to officiate as cheerleaders.

James Stransky was acclaimed the captain-elect of the 1937 football squad.

June Whalen and Betty Belle Barney were awarded C. V. , G. R. R. , letters earl y at the beginning of the year. Later on othe ~girls were in cluded.

Early in .April a play was chosen and practice begun on the annual ju nior play , which I believe you are vaguel y familiar with. "Growing Pains" was the comedy pre-

And finally the mu c h-a ntic ipat ed JuniorSenior Banquet , held at the Cornhusker Hotel Saturday May 22 Whatta event ! For the mere askance you can be regaled with oh , so nice reminis cences .

Next fall fou nd us back in school once more Stran g el y enough we were again assigned to the home room with the now teacher 1 this personage being Miss Campbell.

After several months lapse the Student Counc il re-organized led by Be tty Belle Barne y and represented by Betty Knowles , June W halen, Dale Nannen, Ke ith Sever in and Jimmy Vorhies , as seniors.

Betty Knowles, Ruth Sears and Edna Douglas augmented th e Pep-club of which June Whalen was re-elected pr es ident.

Fillin g the senior quota three girls were voted into the Honor Soc iety They were : Edna Douglas , Mildred Rielly and Vera Sev ier. I3etty Belle Barney and Elma Riechcnborg having been bestowed this honor as juniors. And for the second semester s ' cho ice : Carol Wheeler and June Whalen.

Taken for what it is worth -to you-all three c heerleaders chosen in the fall were

seniors. Namely Betty Belle Barney , Keith Severin and Winon a Francke

Another smash hit we :1t on record w h en the play " Sk id d ing" was presented February 11 and 12. By the same author , many of the same cast and rece1ved by the s ame 11earty acclaim as last yea r , was this comedy-drama produced and directed by Mr. Turille.

This class, ably led by Vera Sevier , aided by Dale Nannen and abetted by Ben Fleet , respectively , have done much to create a wholesome class

Skip Day at Horky 's Park proved a highly hilarious adventure , maki ng ever yone wish it were a weekly event. A tired bunch of dirty revelers readily tumbled into bed (a bit later than usual) to dream of the day ' s happenin gs. Oh , to have that day over again!

The sen iors h eld a clas s day assembly to bring into the limeli ght t he se n io rs various achievement s. It prov ed mos t interesting (a nd the motto didn ' t fall down , either)

Baccahureat e and Commencement wer e held at the Adventist Church on June 5 and 7, respectively. A most inspiring sermon wa s given at Baccalaureate , while Mr . Johnson and a school board member officiated at Commencem ent.

This year's crop of seniors is certainly all right ! Their many var ied interests and activ ities as well as th e ir remarkably high scholastic standing place them high in the ranks of those who are going places and do ing th ings. And so, without further ado , may we present-the seniors !

James Murphy ' s lo ng le gs not only get him places , they were surely a big help for C. V H S. as Jay was high point man of the basketball season . He was chosen for the Greate r Lincoln League All Star team .

Pau l Gardner, our handsome Romeo of " Sk idding, " showed t hat h e really has acting ab ility. It must be caused from the practice he got from the 9th grade girls

Edna Douglas excels on the athl etic field as well as in the classroom . She is a Nat io nal Honor Society membe r and a hard worker in the Pep Club. Edna is a very likeable girl with lots of personality

Vera Sevier is another very popular girl who belongs to the National Honor Society; she is our very competent class president and seems to be t he apple of the C. V. Club ' s eye, as they choose her for All Sport's Queen.

Ben Fleet is the lad who adds his two cents worth of fun and turns out to be th e "li fe of the party. " He was the first semester president of the Hi-Y Club, our class secretary, and se cretary of the C. V. Club. Be ing

dependab le, he is always in demand for responsible positions.

Margaret Ingham is a good , dependable little worker who loves sports . She is an e xcellent horsewoman. Her ambition i s to be ·someone 's well-pa id secretary.

Truman Truell , a newcomer h C V H. S in October , plays an excellen t game of bask etbal l. He ' s our " singing cowboy ," claims that he ' s " got no use for the women. " How about that , Truman?

Robert Pittman came to C. V H S. last year and was quite a favorite among the femmes. Bob likes to trave l. He went to the Chicago World ' s Fair and to Colora do last summer.

James Stransk y, alia s " Hunky " has pienty of everyt hing. He is extr emely popular and excels in football, basketball, track and what have you . He was 1937 football capta in, and is president of the C. V. Club

I und erstand Hunky likes to swim in creeks without rock bottoms

Jim Vorhies is the senior class ' s " little ray of sunshine ," always cutt ing capers , much to the amusement of everyone However , un derneath he is quite studious , literary and sometim es very serious

Dorothy Jacobs is more fun than a picnic and full of abilities and int erests Andspeaking of fu n-did you see her portrayal of Aunt Millie in " Skidding ," Enough said !

Alice Mill er is a very efficient young lady. Friendly and good natured you find her always She is a member of the G. R. Cabin e t an d makes exce llent posters. Made a perfect Mrs . Krogg ins. Laff ! We thought we' d die!

Dorothy Frederick is our senior with the lo vely lo cks ~ Dot is a good singer and belon gs to the Pep Club and the G R. Cabinet.

She was last year's cheer -leade r, and has always been prominent

Dale Nannen has man y abiliti es , chiefly in sports - football, basketball and track . He was ass istant editor of the P. & G. " Crip " as we know hi m , is well lik ed by the students , espe cially a certain Ju nior girl.

Lee Tinkler is a fin e fell ow and has made quite a place for himself. He is a very good student and an excellent worker. Di d you notice those stage sets?

Don Staberg is a jolly good fellow, pecks of fun , and plays foolball with a zest. He has many other talents , acting, music, and leadership in student affairs.

Hazel Hoag is great for entertainment and does she like parties! I believe she likes to follow up all sorts of sports, too She is a member of the G . R. Cabinet and just full of bright ideas.

Lawrence Martin, better know as '' Red, '' is a fine student and loads of fun. He likes not hing better than a good hot discussion (not argument) Red is president of the Hi-Y and is very good at acting nonchalant , as " Skidd ing" and " Growing Pa ins " have shown

Norma Thelander is a swell kid She is a pianist, writes poetry, is a dependable worker on G . R. committees, and writes for the P . & G . Her fa v orit e sports are swimming and rollerskating.

0 boy, 0 boy , 0 boy O ! W h adda day!

W hatta ti me ! On May 2 , a h ue and cry aro s e i n front of C. V H S as th e " early rise r s " gathered at 5:30 for a 5:4 5 start. But merrily we rolled along d o wn to Horky ' s Park at Crete. The water was calm and fres h, br ight sunny skies , pu l-lenty of boats and suc h a n ice , warm sun (an d I do mean warm-wit h a capital " H. ")

Breakfast was a hasty , s k e tchy meal because the boats h ad alread y c a st the ir S . A. (sailing appeal ) to the wande r ing eye. So, with the earl y morning sun the Big Blue sparkled wit h v ivid orange and blue row boats filled w ith gay , vivid gals and boys cautiously find ing their " sea legs " and learning to stroke the boats

Speaking o f ab le coxs ' ns-plums to Mr. Turille. Three g irls and a man was the boat -load under his tute lage as he did a mean stint o f rowing himse lf, let alone instructing his enthralled pupils in the aforesaid art.

Provided with many convenient nooks and crannies many avid mermens' and, yes, mermaids too, sought the cooling depths (6 i nches to 30 feet) of the river. But alas!

W h at tragic results When Junior Knowlton shed his apparel he dropped his pants on t h e edge of the boat , then dived in So did his pants l The interesting sequel to this was

Skip D ay

when he was forced to don Paul Sears ' 2 by 3 1-4 inch trunks and drive into town for a pair of overalls. Junior is still disgruntled. Fortunately , to hearty laughs instead of panicked screams did boat No 8 spill out its merry lads I wonder if their combined weight thrown to either of the sides, or all in one end had a thing to do with its capsizing. Oh , but you know the High School Hoodlums?

But when the blisters coverings the hands began to get big and juicy a motor boat was most enjoyed. Of course, in case you want to take time out to eat lunch and rest and-all right, I know you didn ' t-but it was fun to be shook up by the vibrations of the motor as we putted up and down stream . Oh , what price fun! The steering apparatus always seemed bent on other tracks when a log popped into sight-but somehow we got around-guess it was do or drownBut so in spite of the juniors taking the distributor cap off Mr. Turilles' car and pouring water into Mr. Humann's gas line we went , we saw, and did we have fun! Sore limbs , soiled clothing, big blisters and hot sunburns , 108 degrees in any shade , accompanied t h e group back to town and the theaters.

On a sunny day in S0ptember the class of " 39" entered dear old College View High School. Our sponsor , Miss Scott described us well as a "tal ented but mis chievous " class. Freshman class officers were: President , Neil Munson and secretary, Natalie Hadden . As a n inth grade, we took our places in the busier life of High School. Outstanding in the things we accomplished that year was a State Day Program given. under the direc tion of The lm a Rider .

Our sophomore year was a more or less an adjusting year. M r. Turille , our sponsor , stated that he had " quite a time " with us. Some of us headed in the direction of sports , others established themselves as important factors on the school paper, several were more interested in music and others made env iabl e scholastic records.

This year, however , the flower of our preparatory work is budding Our officers were : Norma Christensen, president, Bob Morey , vice president, Helen Gravatt, secretary , Darlene Graves , treasurer and Elma

Buchanan was class sponsor. Because we are such a large class, two divisions , one under Mr. Turille and the other under Miss Buchanan were made. Anxious for some fun, at · our very first Junior Class meeting we decided to have a class party-and what a party it was !-we rented the roller-skating r ink at the Fair Grounds, and had a "bumpi ng " good time. Still don ' t know what happened, whether too many bumps were acquired or not , but no more class parties were held during that year

Instead of following the usual tradition by giving a three-act play, the Juniors tried something new in the way of four one-act plays Miss Campbell , directed these oneact plays.

Bern ard Dresselhaus is the only junior member of the National Honor Soc i et y this year. Fo ur of our class members represented u:::; on the Student Council. They were Edwin Nydcn, Norma Christ e nsen, Darlene Graves and Geo rge Birkett.

The second s0mester ed itors for the s chool paper, the Purple and Gold , were Bernard Dresselhaus and Darlene Graves , w ith Bob Mor ey , associate editor , an d Kathryn Keller, assistant editor. A Junior Hig h se cti on vms added to the paper and plan s for a bigger and better paper for next year have alrccdy been made.

Act ive in G. R. and H i -Y , nearly everyone in the class serves one of these cl ubs in one way or another. At the present time we are looking forward to our senior year

with high hopes and ambitions. We feel we've made a good star t, and we hope to better ourselves during the coming year.

DESCRIPTIVE BITS

In such a large class one is bound to find varied personalities, interests and hobbies. It is hard to describe each person in five or ten words , but always trying to do the crazy or the impossible, we have made a feeble attempt.

Beginning with our president - Norma Christensen. She is a sweet, brown-eyed girl wh ose grea"test asset is frien d li ness

Nola Mae Cyr, famous for her blonde curls, enter ed fro m Lincoln High School th is fall, and has pro ve d herself an active G irl Reserve member, and an asset to the cla ss.

Duaine Cornell, another newcomer , is shy of girls , in spite of his good looks and that car.

Bernard Dresselhaus is a lad w i th a twinkle in his eye and a healthy chuckle, something not often found in such an " A " number one scholar.

In spite of her handicap, Pauline Detmer is one of the most charming and cheerful lassies in College View H igh School.

Virginia Dodge is the exception to the rule about redheads - She never loses h er temper.

Its staff is chosen from all s e ctions of the school, thu s gi v ing a general t raining in journalism and writing and also co-operation.

The pa p e r is supported mainly by i ts a d vertisements. The ads are t aken principally from C oll e ge View and

also from downtown Linc oln firms.

The staff of the paper consists of two branches - the editorial and business management. The editorial sta ff takes care of getting the paper toget her-handing out assignments , getting copy , getting it to the press, and correcting the press sheets for printing

The business branch takes care of the business end of the paper - getting ads and colle cting for them , giving out the papers to the various hom e rooms and collecting there and paying the bills to be sure the presses keep rolling.

At the start of the school year Betty June Knowles and Ben Fleet were co-editors of the paper with Betty Belle

The ninth grade has gained in number s i nce the end of last year , as the y have only lost about five members, and have gained ten more m e mb ers The ninth grade hasn ' t been very socially active this y ear , but th e boys have made up for the social inactivity in sports.

Eighth Grade

" I wonder what home room we'll have?"

" Oh , look there ' s Betty with a new girl. I wonder if she ' ll be in room? "

As these bits of conver satio n drifted to our ears, we knew school had begun after a few weeks delay.

After discovering 201 was our home room , with Miss Scott a s home room teacher, we settled down to electing the following office rs for the first semester: Norma Jean Sipp , president; Betty Jones, vice-president; El ora Joyce Cyr , girl 's delegate , and Wayne S yer, bo y's delegate We also chose our schedule for activity period s

Then ca me the time for our Junior Civic League trip. The trip on " thrift, banking and investment." A few weeks later those who joyed music went to a concert at the Stuart Thea ter.

We have many boys and girls who are fine athletes. The girl s two basketball teams and played many exciting games during se ason There were a few boys from our home room who were ou t spring football practice , and who show fine ability on the baske t floor , and on the track.

The students from hom e room 201 have shown unusual talent. these are Jack Kucera, Elsa Brooks, Betty Roeder , Norma Clark , Aue Meyers and many others.

The end of first semester nearing, we decided to have a class m ing with our sponsor, Mr. Chase , to discuss plans for an ice - ska party. Due to the weather , we had none.

As the semes ter ended we were well represented on the honor ro ll grades-Paul Henson , Rose Anne Moon , and Mary Ellen Powe ll; attendance-Norma Clark , Allan Johnson, Bett y Mae Jones , Ruth 1' row , Ro se Anne Moon , Betty Roeder , and Mar y Elizabeth Wendell.

If you could have peeked through the keyhole of 201 as the sec semester began, you would have seen the s tudent s enthusiastically c h ing new home-room officers. The tallies showed that the president , Wahlberg , was to be ably assisted by Paul Henson as secretary, v our delegates , Norma C lark for girls , and Edwin Hergert for the b e We decided to keep la s t semes ter ' s schedule, with a few changes , activity periods

If you glance at the secret arial books of various clubs and org ization s, yo u needn't be s urprised to se9 the books cluttered up v eighth graders ' names, several of them holding offices coveted by m e

Our home-room helped to promote the first Junior Hig h section the Purple and Gold by co-operating with the members of the s from 201

So , with their hearts filled with hope and school spirit, the eic; grader s climb the se cond rung of the ladder to success, happint health, and knowledge.

Seven th Grade

When school opened in the fall of 1937 a p e pp y bunch of s e v e n th gra ders found themselves being directed to room 301 where they were to be u nd e r the dir-ection of Mrs Bergman , their home room t•eacher.

One of the first matters taken up by the grade was the election of home room officers Donna Belle Whalen was chosen president, and Ivan S c hoenthal as secretary Next came the election of Junior Civic League representatives for the first semester. As a result Jimmy Porter and Mildred Johnson were elected as representatives and Max Reis and Helen Boyer as alternates Later in the year John Fleet and Willa Munson were chosen as representatives and Richard Phipps and Donna Belle Whalen as alternates for the second - semester

Once each semester the seventh grade went on a Junior C ivic League tri p Each time a bus picked them up at the school at 8 :00 in the morning a nd took them to the Stuart Theater , where they listened to interestin g and ins p iring talks , after which they divided into special groups , each under the supervision of a teacher , and visited an industry of their choice. Tom Dillworth h a d the d istinction of being called upon to lead the pledge at the S tuart T heater on their second trip

During the secon d semeste r a Junior Civic League conferen ce wa s hel d at the Sharp Bu ilding that was attended by the representatives o f t h e cl a ss, who brought back very interesting reports.

The seven th grader ' s have taken an active part in su c h cl u bs as Boy Scouts , Camp Fi re and Girl Reserv es.

Gloria Barn ell's ability to read , Donna Belle Whalen's skill a t p laying the accordion and Jean Ann Wright ' s abilit y to ta p dance, h av e been ver/ entertaining on vario us programs.

In sports also they have distinguished themselves. Leading players among the gir ls were Willa Munson , Wilma Lemons , Vivian Kelly, and Marjorie Nies. These girls helped to carry off a victory of six to two over the eighth grade ' s · B team in their first game of basketball.

Among the boys ther e were such outstanding players as Norman H esson , Jim Port-er , Ra y Bar rick and Herman Schmidt.

At the close of the first semester Donna Belle Whalen carried the honor of being the only one in the seventh grade to make the honor roll in scholarship. A large group of pupils made the honor roll in a ttendance. These are : Mildred Johnson , Fern McMurray , Pau lin e Tinkl-er, Donna Belle Whale n , Calvin Melson , Donald Nannen , Max Reis, Jim Ro y ce , Ceci l Walker and Elwin Wilkinson.

All in all, the seventh graders have had an interest i ng and profitable year and are looking forward with eage rness to their second year in Junior High.

Pep Cl ub

The eye converges on a shimmering , dancing blurred purple and gold unity faithfully " a iding and abetting" in each and every way t h e spirit of blithe, happy Sports as he may v ictoriously or otherwise pursue the football and b asketball.

The G. A. A , begun in 1929, has grown to an extens ive and useful organization including a membership from the "freshies " to the seniors. The two-fold purpose includes ga m e night on Wednesday ' s for all major spor t s A long term of mid-season basketball terminating with a round-robin tournament, a mild dose of effeminate track, with a wind-up dash of baseball and, for unforeseen seasonal disturbances , a game of volley ba ll, proves its divertive efficiency.

The other interest and basic reason of the organization is the opportunity to earn the 500 points by such various means as hiking, skating and sledding to merit a C. V. letter.

Eighteen weeks were devoted to swimming at Lincoln High .

The officers of the club are June Whalen , President; Gertrude Pittman, Secretary , and Norma Christensen, Treasurer.

Spectacular! Amazing! justly describing the all time high record which Edith Douglas established. She was awarded her letter just two weeks after the beginning of her sophomore year. In one year and two weeks Edith Douglas did what has taken other girls at least four semesters to accomplish as a minim um.

Indispensable are the senior " peppers; "

Senior Class Play

The lights are d imme d The curtains parted A sudden hush falls over the noisy fill-ed house and the play beg i ns. The · performance you have dreamed of has begun Scar ed? Of course ! Who wou ldn ' t be on his first appearance behind those footlights , staring out at that audience? You r heart feels as if it is in you r throat and your hands twitch , but finally the cu rtains clos e on the end of the fir st act The second i s much easier and the third act you think you ' re a first rate acto r

But, oh , what you go through before this ni ght. Remember the try-outs wit h practi cally all the senior class members tryin g out, each determine d to get a part. And Mr. Turille not a nnouncin g the cast until the following day!

At last the final cast for the 1938 Senior Cla ss play " SKIDDING " is announced , the results being : CAST

Next came the rehearsals ever y night after school. Memorization of lines after you got home and the blackest moments came when there were prompts at dress rehears a l.

Th en you have your night of suc ce ss. On February 11 & 12 the play " SKIDDING ," a comed y in three acts , by Aurenia Rouverol , portraying the home life of Jud ge and Mr s Hardy and famil y takes place in their comfortable but old fashioned home. A packed house is i n attendance for both performances Judge and Mr s. Hardy are an easy-going couple who try to domesticate and keep their four children happy by help ing them with their imagined troubles. Even though the Judge is in the middle of a political re-election he is more concerned about his family

Marion , just home from college , and And y, the baby of the family , have some trouble in understanding their two married sisters, Myra and Es tell e , who have left their husbands and come home to stay Aunt Milly , the old maid school teacher , is constantly giving the girls advice on married life, while Grandpa Har dy , talking of his fifty years of married life , creates s ome int eresting situation s

The play finaliy ends happily for all concerned when Wayne Trenton III , Mar ion's backward admirer , and Mr. Stubbins, the politician , are in s trumental in Judg-e Hardy 's re-election

It takes other s beside s those on the st age to make a play a success. The patient , understanding directing of Mr. Turi lle, the efficient wor k of the production staff and ticket committee , the thoughtful help of the teachers, all played a part in the success of the 1938 class play

The operetta proved successful at both the Friday matinee and the Saturday performance

The plot was of a complicated nature Mrs. Kroggin s insisted she was going to sing on the Kroggin ' s Hour as her husband was sponsor. After the W T N T men heard her once they decided they would do anything to keep her off the air. First, she was locked in a dark studio . Then , the elevator whic h she was on was stalled between floors. In the meantime the program went on the air without her. With a Mysterious Mitzi instead (the switchboard operator) the program was a great success and as they s ig ned off , Mrs. Kroggins rushed in They let her sing to a dead mike She was very thrilled , not realizing, of course , the circumstance

However , Jean, the daughter, could not let the farce qo any further and told her mother. Mrs. Kroggins was furious, which

resulted in the resigning and firing of several radio people. Mr. Phipps , the owne r from whom Jo e Brown was buying th e studio , came back for the rest of the money . Joe didn ' t see any way out unless something very good turned up. But regardless , Jean, his sweetheart, had much faith tha t everything would turn out fin e. And so it did . Mr. Phipps came back , not for his money , but for the singer of the Kroggins program . They signed up Mrs. Krogg ins, and Phipps , being a sure man , wanted to hear her sing once before he took her to Hollywood He was stricken by her voice and tore up the contract. As a result he found out that it was Mitzi, the switchboard operator , to whom he wouldn ' t listen He offered her all the fame, wealth, and happiness that any singer would hope for. She sa id she would go to Hollywood.

To top everything off, Mr Archibald Throckmorton found Joe Brown and told him that he ·had inh erited the modest sum of ten million dollars , and that isn ' t all-he had all of the rights to the process vulgarl y known as " kippering." That meant Mr Krog gi ns was ruined. No , Joe made him take back the Kroggins program, but there was to be no Krog gins hour for Mitzi would not sing . Everything was settled. Joe and Jean were going to fin d a home of their own , Mitzi was qoing to stay at W. T. N T w ith Jerry Mrs. Kroggins said that home was the place for her, so there was where she would stay.

We owe much to Mr Humann, Mrs. Harper and Mr. Turille for their co-operation and sponsorship without wh ich we could not have produced the operetta

game Havelock pounded unmercifully the fir half.

Stag ing one of those spirited rallies , Po w e ll first passed to Wixson who ran the remaining yards to a touchdown. The spiri t not slacking, Powell again passed to Nannen who dashed the remaining fifty yards to another score Havelock ' s uncrossed goal line was thereby crossed twice by the defeated College View team. Time cut short C. V. ' s next scoring thrust.

Three games already tucked away , C. V .' s next opponent was Lincoln Reserves C. V. ran all over them th e first half scoring two touchdowns Both were the results of passes thrown from Powell to Nannen, using his hide-out play.

Coming back the second half with renewed strength, Lincoln took to the offensive, to score twenty points before C. V. could rally itself together. College V iew 's only score in the second half was a safety

Taking the longest trip o f t h e season, the team jou rneyed to Hebron to engage them in battl e. Neither team showed much in the way of scoring In the opening mi nutes of the first quarter C. V run end sweeps and off tackle s m ashes for 5 or 6 consecutive first downs only t o bog down and los e the ball on downs. Hebron ' s touchdown ca me b y way of a pas s over th e middle of the line

Meeting the s of t spot of the schedul e , College View produced the biggest s core of the season Finally catch ing on fi re , the backs ran and sma shed th e ir way to · five touch downs The biggest thri ll of the game c ame a t t h e close of the first half. W ith but two minutes left , Milford p unted t h e ball to Nannen, who was playi ng safety. Aided by good blocki n g, Nannen zigzagged and dodged his way back to a 70 yar d tou c h dow n run . The Milford boys went home wtih a 34-0 defeat.

Visiting the W il ber ites C. V played the best game of the season only to lose by the sco re of 19-14. Due to the ma ny injuries Colleg e Vi ew was forced to re ly on reserve material.

Trying to stage a c omeb ack , C.

Opening aga inst Jackson, College View suffered from nervousness and a rugged attack and fi nally dropped a 20-31 decision to the young Methodists.

The next night for the firs.t time in several years College View defeated the Alumni . In a rough game

that threatened to turn into a civil war , the undergraduates turn ed in a two point victory.

Playing an ins pired game, we next defeated the Lincoln "B" 13-7 in an upset.

Crete won 17-19 in a thrill-packed game which saw College View come from behind to tie the score and then fade in the dying moments

Journeying to Dorchester , the team was bothered by a tight zone defense and a rough floor and dropped a 21-35 verdict. Tecumseh was knocked off 24-13. The Indians were completely out-classed by the smooth attack of the South-siders

We were equally helpless at the hands of a steady playing Bethany outfit and took the worst beating of the season

Havelock p il ed up a big first-ha lf le a d and coasted on in to win de spite the va li an t efforts of Ed Nyden and Jim Stransk y

Aga inst Plattsmouth , who was u ndefeated, we dropped a heartbreaker. Lead in g 19-12 at the end of the third quarter th e rivermen got " hot " in the last four m inut e s and scored the winning basket in the la st four seconds.

Coming back to the " cracker-box " w e lost again in the final seconds to Heb ron Trailing 10-20 at the end of the third quar ter College View climbed up to tie it at 21 all, only to see " He-H i" slip in a side -c ourt effort in the final eleven seconds

Again we met the powerful Jackson crew , and aga in we lost but only a fter a hard battle Super i or shooting gave the champions a 15-20 w in

In the fastest game of the season , w e lost to Wy more on the i r floor by a 21 - 38 ·c ou nt. O nce aga in we were troubled by a zone defen se and the Zep h yr ' s fast break w as t oo much for us

College View then dropped anothe r tearjerker to Havelock. In a game tha t had ever ything , i ncluding an extra pe rio d and an argument at the end , the Bo il e r m akers took a 25-24 v i ctory Hansen was th e w hole show , scor ing more than half our p oi n ts.

Although we were l eading 20- 13 at one time, the steady , unhurried play o f Bet hany pulled the m through to a 23-30 w in

W h en we tra v el ed !o W overly we took ever y th ing bu t our ba s ket-eyes and conseq u en t ly lost to th e t u ne of 19-24 . College View conne ct ed w it h b u t 8 per cent of the ir sh ots

All' s we ll th at ends well. A highly touted Milf ord te am came to town w ith a season ' s r ecord of 17 w ins a n d 3 losses They left with a reco rd of 17 w ins and 4 losses Using a zone defe nse th at h eld the Eagles to four field-goals , th e View m e n doubled the count 28-14

REGIONAL TOURNAMENT

In the Class " B" district regional tournam e nt half , at th e Ag College, College View drew a bye for th e first round. The second round opponent was Waverly and , in a game t hat prov ed to be the most exciting of th e tournam ent , won 22-20 in an extra period, Hans e n ' s and Murphy ' s free t hrows bagging th e v i ct o ry .

In the s emi-fina ls Colleg e View easily out-played M ead an d went into finals by a 22-12 count.

Bethany was our o p p onent in th e fi nals and for th e thi rd t ime de feated College Vi e w, this time 23-1 5

Held to 3 fre e thro w s the fir s t - h a lf, the team mad e a desp era te rally and alt hough out-scoring the Ma ro ons 12-9 couldn ' t overcome the ha n d i c ap. Bethany went pn t o w in the state championship. ·

A triangular meet with Ha velock-Jackson was ru,;; off on the Wesleyan bow 1. Due to some disciplinary reasons , C. V . was without the services of some of its ace perform-
