Before introducing the students of Northeast high school, we would like to present our new building, which has marked the blending of three high schools, Bethany, Havelock. and Jackson, into one large and united school. Try to see our school as did the students when they entered the building •for the first time, September 9, 1941.

Coming up the temporary board walks, students marveled at the size of the building. As they entered the front passage they noticed the large trophy and show cases which Hank both sides of the hall. From here the pupils hurried into the main hall.

WE 'RE PROUD OF IT -Our new building .

Some of the excited students curiously glanced through the doors of the large auditorium , appreciating its size and beauty. Others in their inquisitive wanderings walked into the nurse's rooms. This suite contains a medical center and two large rooms with cots. What, cots 7 Yes, these cots have been provided for certain pupils who are underweight and need to spend a period each day resting.

Many of the students took younger brothers and sisters to the ortheast child center, which provides a modern type of study for pupils from kindergarten through the fourth grade.

Walking directly across the hall from the child center, the first day students looked longingly through the glass panels of the cafeteria , which was soon to provide an eating place for the one thousand members of the school.

The feminine half of the school was in its glory as it walked through the home economics department. Three large rooms with fine facilities, new stoves, refrigerators, sewing machines, and other household necessities, were at their disposal. One of these rooms is arranged like the living room of a real home.

Perhaps the busiest place that initial day was the office. Every other student was lost and all came to the office for information. Some found aid in Dr. J. E. Loder' s office to the left of the main room; others sought out R. S. Mickle in his office on the right.

Leaving the office one might have followed ome tudents to the, then , bookless library. It wasn't hard to realize that it would soon be :bme one of the best equipped and most beautiful rooms in Lincoln. s a democratic nation must have leaders with thoughtful judgment for present problems and a far-seeing vision for future planning, so the modern school mu t have a school board, superintendent, principal, and faculty. The school board not only determines chool pol- icies but al o advises and helps with alI school and community project Superintendent M. C. Lefler, A sistant 0. H. Bimson, and Dr. J. E. Loder, principal, serve as the school board repre entati e as they organize and admini ter a school to de elop happy, useful citizens of a democratic nation.

Climbing to the third Roor, future artists went into the fine t art department in the state. They found that of the two large rooms allotted to art , one was to be u ed as a classroom for group work. the other as a workroom for the artist's creative skill.

The young scientist found his haven in the physics and chemistry laboratories. Although not yet finished when he entered the fir t day, the laboratory would oon be provided with apparatu for study , experiment, and re earch.

For the hardy souls who wanted to reach the highest in altitude, wa the sound-proof band and orchestra suite on fourth floor. Comprised of one big room for group work and everal smaller rooms for individual or small group practice, thi chain of rooms, marooned from the re t of the building by sound-proofing, keeps the beat of the drum and blast of the trumpet far from the studying classes.

Many of the boys entering by the west basement door found their main objective in the two huge shops in the basement. The metal trades , auto mechanic, and vocational agriculture shop is equipped with two steel lathes, a drill press a forge, welding and other metal working equipment. Boys skiiled in woodworking were supplied with lathes, a shaper, sander, and numerous hand tools.

A few of the early arrivals made a journey to the boiler room. There they inspected the three large boilers and gas furnaces, and the heat controls which maintain an even temperature through out the building. Of particular interest to· the swimmers were the filter for the swimming pool. which are located in the boiler room.

The swimming pool was the most talked of place in the school. To all of the students of the three schools this pool was a luxury they had never before enjoyed.

The athlete's eyes shone as he stood on the wide gym Hoor for the first time. The gymnas~ums provided for the boys and girls are separated by large folding doors. The boys gym, the larger of the two, serves as the stage and basketball court.

The building is now completed, the trophy cases are filling, organizations and dubs are establishing themselves, and cla ses are showing their accomplishments. ortheast' s history is in the making and the first chapter is written.

R. Mickle counsels students about registration and the choice of subject that will broaden intere ts, develop leadership, and prepare for ocational fitness. These are the leaders who make our chool the modern educational in titution it i today.

PATCHl

To preserve our democracy, the youth of today must be alert, thoughtful, informed, and well-balanced, ready to meet all conditions whether it be the winning of a world war, or the making of an enduring peace. In the mood of the times, patriotism is tressed each day as ortheast high's one thousand students are called to silent attention by the bugle's "Call to the Colors,'" followed by the Hag salute.

"Air-conditioning" is a need of the times. Aeronautics, a course organized the second seme ter under the direction of Franklin Kyker, teaches the fundamentals of aero-dynamics, navigation, and Hying to prospective pilot striving for their "wings."

Hygiene, a required subject for all, presents several phases of nursing-how to make a bed, make and apply bandages, and care for the ick. Such information is invaluable in war time as well as in normal times.

Physics students inve tigate the forces of nature, as practically applied to the study of search-lighting, bomb velocity, and magnetism.

"WHAT'SA

An alert mind in a sound body i es ential to the citizens of a strong nation. In physical education, pupils are taught to play, to cooperate, to enjoy good, clean sport. and most important of all, to build trong, healthy, bodies for Uncle Sam.

THE creasing demand for secretarie , bookkeepers, and stenographers. The commercial department. which oHers shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, prepares the tudent for immediate entrance into the business world. A business education is worthwhile for it encourages neatne accuracy, alertne , and dependability.

In peace or in war, America takes a lead in the field of science so one expects to find modern high schools training youth to fit into a scientific world. Beginning with physiology, they learn the consruction and functions of their own bodies and then advance to the appreciation of plant and animal life through a study of the biological sciences. By the time the student has delved into physics, chemistry, geography, and astronomy, he can construct a telephone, break a solution up into its component parts, predict a storm, and explain an eclipse. ature withholds few secrets from him.

Typing speed ters, careful bookkeepers, efficient office assi tants,......,all are trained and given an opportunity for real practice in the school courses and finished ready for responsible po itions. Many mid-year graduates have already found their places in the world of work. Mathematics, too, is a favorite.

To engineers, air pilots, naval officers, soldier . butchers, and even housewives, a knowledge of mathematics i invaluable indeed, for whether one figures up the budget or butch- ers a hog, he must still know that two halves make a whole, or any other of the simple fundamentals of mathematics. Geometry is especially practical in our world of construction and invention. Imagine a plan without a blueprint 1

Whether he speaks it or writes it, a fi.ne knowledge of the English language is essential to every American citizen. The English department trains one in appreciation of outstanding works of literature , in parliamenary law, in correct usage, and in crea tive writing. In dramatics, one learns to overcome self-consciousness by speaking in public, and also learns how to conquer speech defects. Journalism offers students opportunity to edit a school paper. This develops an interest in newspapers and encourages a critical study of current events.

To study and understand events of today, all citizens must hav,e a thorough knowledge of history for the world travels in cycles and the saying that "history repeats itself" is true. History students study not only past events and their relation to the world of today but also the lives of the great men of the ages who have inHuenced history. "History awakens interest in the dead past and the living present."

Since the beginning of time, music has been used to express man's emotional development and to reHect the principles and ideals of a country. A people at war often produce some of the musical masterp;.eces of the ages. Modern young people are learning to love and revere the ongs of long ago.

Art is helpful to everyone from those who "c an't draw a straight line" to those who sculpture beautiful figures, or paint with oil and brush. It plays an important role in developing ones individuality and initiative. Art is practical as well as cultural. for our art department cooperates in school projects from the making of posters to the designing and painting of stage sets. Art students use what they learn in dre sing more becomingly, fixing homes more attractively, and using common materials to good advantage.

Of the three essential to man , food usually rates above clothing or shelter. In food, nourishment is primary and taste and appearance only secondary-but so important. Thu our cafeteria staff prepares well -balanced , healthful meals attractively served to the many student who pass their trays down the long c ounter each noon. After the meal. re c reation can be found in strolling about , going to the movies or an amateur show, or dancing in the gym.

For those who wish to read or study quietly, there is always an empty chair in the library and shelves filled with books, magazines, and reference materials for every need.

If the English addict cann ot get help enough from the dictionaries and encyclopedias, he may register for Latin. Thought spoken of as a "dead" language, Latin lives today in approxi mately 54 % of our words. The meaning and spelling of most words is made easier through may register for Latin. Though spoken of as a get his Latin indirectly, there is Spanish, a popular and useful language today, since we are coming into closer relationship with our Latin American neighbors.

For the builder, the mechanic, or anyone who loves to "tinker", his "heaven" can be found in the shop classes which include studies in metal trades, woodwork, drafting, electricity, and auto mechanics. Learning to coordinate muscle and mind, the pupil may prepare himself for a vocation or develop a useful hobby. One course, diversified training, is so arranged that the boys may study in the morning and work at a real job in the afternoon.

A student may register for an individual interest period in which he is allowed to work upon any special interest,-,as photograph y, woodwork. or handicrafts. Many are interested in building model airplanes. This work for fun was turned to a patriotic service. In the building of 250 model for government use, the boys are learning ma c hine-u e , woodcarvi1}g, fitting , finishing, pattern -making, a,nd recognition of all types of planes.

To every girl. a knowledge of home making and child care is a great asset. Since the "quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach" girls learn to cook in the home economics kitchen. Sewing, child care, and home decorations are only a few of the useful study units of this department.

With Miss Preston, the junior high council keeps its half of the school running smoothly. Among many worthwhile projects instituted are a more attractive noon-hour program, a learn-to-dance class, and worthwhile assemblies.

"WHAT' COOKI '?"-home economics teac her Miss Belle Mayer, and Mrs. Florence Andrews whip up a la ly litttle tidbit BRA CHI ' OUT - Margaret Bowe':!-Mildred May, Lois Burge ss, Miss Elsie Buxman, and Ruth Che~len

" II work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" so between classes pupils congregate at their lockers or in the halls to chat.

Another school year has come and gone,.........the last for some. In spite of a certain careless, casual air the students realize that both educationally and socially they are better prepared to meet the world and its perplexing problems. than they were last fall. With mingled feelings of sadness and gladness they say "goodbye" and "stop school".

E hundred ninety-six seniors, charter mem~ hers of the Northeast alumni, united to become the core of school life and activities. With oatstanding leaders, they have been instrumental in shaping policies and setting standards and patterns. They have set high their own goals and worked to reach them, leaving marks for others to attain. With their officers leading, they have contributed wholeheartedly to the year's achievement.

ScHOOL life opens many hi-ways that broaden into life interests. Organizations for leaders in athletics, pep, and student governmen~ serve the school and the individual members and tie them into unified parts of a friendly whole.

Playing a musical instrument, editing a student publication, raising a victory garden, and producing a play enrich personal appreciations, develop leadership and foster lasting friendships.

These intelligent looking indi iduals repre ent the Student Leadership Class, a group which displays the democratic spirit of the school and assists by originating and promoting new plans during the year. The effectiveness of this student work depends greatly on the leadership of those chosen, and the initiati e which they display in promoting the projects. Representatives to this class are chosen from each home room and club.

These students meet each day and discuss the problems of the school and recommendations are made to the Senate Committee. The representatives also meet with their home rooms every day and have the opportunity of discussing with the teacher and pupils all council activities and accepting suggestions and problems to be submitted to the class. This makes it possible for these individuals to truly represent the voice of nearly a thousand students in all matters of self government and school activity.

The Iortheast high school band department maintains two organizations known as the concert band and the second band, under the direction of H. Clay Jent.

The second band serves as a training organization for the concert group. It includes in its membership those interested in instrumental music who cannot yet achieve the standards of the concert band and those who are just beginning the study of a musical instrument.

Composed of more advanced players, the concert band is organized for the purpose of studying and performing higher forms of music. AIi positions in this organization are determined on a competitive basis.

While musicianship is stressed in both organizations, much emphasis is placed on the individual's value to his organization as a good citizen. For while it is realized that music education is the ultimate goal, "this goal may not be achieved without the orderly self-control of the individual members of the band.

Approved and elected band officers instruct their marching bands, set an example in appearance and conduct, and aid the director with his plans in attaining better organization'.

The concert band appears for numerous school assemblies, for various civic occasions, for parades, between halves at football games, and for basketbalI games.

The worl< of the choral department of Iortheast high school, under the direction of Miss Marjorie M. Miller, has been presented to the public 42 times during the year. The most interesting presentation was the "Ballad for Americans" by three student groups. Solo honors were divided between Rolland Dudley and Jack Schaumberg at the dedication programs for the new building and three subsequent performances. The Christmas Sunday vesper musicale, the Christmas assembly for students, and carolling through the corridors will become part of the traditions of ortheast. On May 15, the U. S. S. Victory sailed into a sea of music of many nations.

Vocal groups are unselected; registration in all classes is unrestricted and voluntary. The choir class is organized for the purpose of singing the best of mixed voice musical literature, with occasional excursions into modern music. The boys' small vocal group and the girls' small vocal group work intensively on solo, trio, and quartet material and are available for many programs.

Each class is presided over by a president and, with other officers, organized as a plan-· ning group for daily work and selection of materials. All s.tudents are initiated into th«=> intricacies of group singing conducting.

The class mothers, of whom 22 have served during the year, are selected by the vote ol' students in each class. Acting as coordinating agents between the school and community, they attend classes as well as public performances, making valuable suggestions for improvement.

The ortheast high orchestra was organized when school opened in September, 1941. There were very few people in school who played string instruments, which are the foundation of an orche tra, so it was necessary to start beginners on violin, cello, and string bass.

The school owns one cello, two basses, and three violas for the use of pupils in the school who wish to learn to play them. The violin players own their own instruments. Lessons on all are given free during school time.

First semester, there were three violins and one cello in the orchestra. Second semester, the number of string players had increased to twenty-six, most of whom started to learn to play their instrument in September.

Miss Ruth Sibley is the teacher conductor of the orche tra and spends two periods each morning at ortheast.

To serve as the student leader of the rapidly increasing cla s, Virginia Aydelott was elected president. Other officers were Koila Shaver, secretary; Robert Holland, assistants. ickols and Lewis

The orchestra played for a junior high as embly in April and furnished music for the play "Young April."

"AT THE CO TROL .",..... Paul Andreas, Mike Vaggalis, and Bob ickerson experiment with tl1e stage lights /or "The Bat."

Students in dramatics and their d:rector, Miss Margaret Servine, were somewhat handicapped this year by the lack of stage equipment.

However, on Friday, April 24, they were able, with the fine cooperation of the shop, art, and home making departments, to present the three-act comedy. "Young April ," before a lovely, realistic setting representing the patio of a California house. True, there were some shadow because of inadequate lighting, and it was somewhat disconcerting for actors to hold scenes while the heavy doors "crawled" across the stage et the close of each act. In spitt> of these difficulties the play wa a success.

From this light comedy, the class went to the other extreme and preented on Mav 22, Mary Roberts Rinehart's melodramatic mystery, "The Bat," to an enthusiastic, but frightened audience.

Altogether, it has been a fine first year for the theatre at ortheast high school.

"THERE'S A GE TLEMA TO EE YOU ." George co{ie ld has ;us t come to see his {iance, Joyce Anderson. Bill Jenkins, Bob Bradsby , "Professor" John Ke ssel, and Enid Barron look on. Student director, Mary Ellen Powell, is telling Bob Bradsby to regi s te r more sarcasm.

"NERVOUS?" Mary Ellen Powell, Clarabelle Wardlow, Francis Cave s, Angel Vaggalis, Bob Bradsby , Enid Barron , Joyce Ander son, Francis Hunter, and G eo rg e Scofield wait patiently while Mary Fulton , Tom Connelly, and Mairi Pitcaithl ey try -out /or "The Bat. "
