Foreword

This year has been a year of activities, a year of joys and sorrows, a year of fulfillment and disappointment, a year of preparation for the uncertain future.

We still feel the thrill of pride for our new building, pride in the beautiful art rooms, the modern, well-equipped home ec rooms with their gleaming stoves, shining sinks, and the smartly decorated sewing room, the spacious cafeteria with its spotlessly clean kitchen. Pride in the shops with all their tools and machinery, pride in the two gym floors perfect for basketball games, dances and carnivals, pride for the lovely child center. The latest additions to our school are the beautiful new stage curtains and cyclorama purchased by contributions from every school organization.

But a building or a year isn't everythingit's the people that count. It's your friends, the work you do with them, and the good times you

have with them. It's the lunches, committee meetings, the talks before the bell rings; it's the picnics, the games, the track meets, the parties, and the carnivals you attend with them. It's cramming for that big test or staying up till all hours to get that biology note book in on schedule. It's working hard together to make the plays, the musicals, the paper, and the juniorsenior a big success.

This year we have had to settle down to serious war tasks. We worked together on the scrap metal drive. It wasn't so much fun to dig in junk heaps, and clean up the attic and basement to find every ounce of scrap metal we could find, but it was fun to watch our scrap pile grow and to know that we had the second largest scrap collectic~m in the city. After the scrap metal drive came the clothes hangar drive, the paper drive, and the button drive.

Then some of us went to work making surgical dressings. We left the polish off our nails and washed our hands in harsh antiseptic soap. The work was often slow and painstaking, but we did it willingly because we were doing our part for victory.

Many of us spent our evenings training to be messengers in the event of an air raid, and we left the Hi-Y dance to go on duty during a practice blackout.

Others joined the national Victory Corps organization, pledging themselves to a physical fitness program and some definite line of community or war service.

The sewing classes have done Red Cross sewing-making such articles as-Red Cross flags, nightgowns, afghans, and carpet slippers. Even the tiny tots have been doing their bit for victory-at Christmas time they made carol books for the U. S. O.; and down in the shops the boys have made cribbage boards and other games to help amuse soldiers in the infirmary.

A war service, which meant vacation for pupils but added work for the teachers, was food rationing. Our instructors labored long afternoons and evenings issuing ration books for sugar, coffee, canned goods, and shoes.

But we 'l l not gripe about a pair of shoes or not having enough butter when so many of our numbers have gone into the service. As Marine Kenneth Riner writes " At 5:30 a. m. our day begins and we ' re on the double until 9 and sometimes I 0:00 p. m. My platoon leader, a corporal, is tough as railroad spikes. He spends so much time bawling us out I can't understand when he gets time to think up his various forms of punishment. " Then he goes on to tell of his numerous activities, but later he remarks "It does make us angry though to hear about civil-

ians striking for more money or shorter hours. I'd sure like to run one of them through our 14 to 16 hour day."

Another Northeast graduate, Ray Bish, writes, " am expecting to board a new minesweeper in the near future. Minesweepers are small ships which have a crew of 30 to 40 men. They are for maintaining clear sea communications and sea lanes, etc."

Battle experience in the south Pacific with the Marine Air Corps is an experience Tom Connelly is not likely to forget.

"The only work is K. P. and drill. The drill is using military police equipment and Judo," states Private Glen Eis of the Military Police Escort Guard. The duties of the M. P. E. G. are to escort prisoners of war to any part of the world, and to guard prison camps and ships.

Learning the basic principles of the phases of Coast Artillery is the main job for Bill "Mouse" Jenkins. He writes that his fatigue clothing gets constant use and, "I'm disgustingly healthy when hard work presents itself and they choose details."

Army Private Ted Yost is in a new company in South Carolina. He will have four weeks of basic training and then learn to drive all kinds of trucks.

Miss Margaret E; Servine likes the W. A. A. C. "Tonight I'm C. Q. (24 hour duty as Charge of Quarters), writes Miss Servine. "I thought it was going to be horribly boring, but it has kept me running my legs off instead.

"One of my duties as C. Q. is to scrub the Commanding Officer's office. You would have laughed to see me half an hour ago carrying a scrub pail and mop from the barracks, and at the same time all dressed in my uniform, hat and all."

"On this day I've ceased to be a common sailor and have been selected to join the ranks of honorable 'Gold Braid'," declared Lloyd Robertson.

''We are · also allowed to take the V-12 exam for officer material which they gave at school." Lloyd was high point man on the first test, second on the second test, and came out on top on the physical exami_nation. He will spend one and a half years in the university and then he will be commissioned in the navy with the rank of ensign.

As many of our alumni have gone into the armed forces, so this year's grads will be scattered to the far corners of the earth. So that they, with us, may recall the happy, carefree days at Northeast, we present this book.

They all study history, read ihe current magazines. Here

Citizens Are Education Promoters

At the outbreak of the war, the government appea led to the nation's youth to continue its education wherever possible. Where there is a project or movement, there are leaders. The school board and its administrative staff are the leaders of Lincoln's public school system. It is difficult to comprehend the many duties of the board and the time that is required to determine school pol1c 1es and affairs. •

It was fun to come back to Northeast, to start a new year. There were no hands on the clock, but the flag was flying bravely There was grass , green and we ll cared for , new shrubs set out on the terrace. Careful planning and preparation had made things ready for us. We could ma ke th is year what we would.

To back up the reputation for a progressive new school, winning teams , fine music organizations must be serious class room endeavor. Hundreds of students working a full 60 minutes every hour , studying English , history, current problems, languages , math, sciencethis is the work that makes a year really worth whi le.

Through the front entrance they come and go, a thousand Northeast boosters.

are Bethel Carne, Norman Pierce, Doris Schoenleber, Dorothy Deeds, Margaret Schmer at work.

CLARENCE E. SWANSON completes his term and no longer will be with the board after this, his sixth year of membership. Mr. S wanson, of Hovland-Swanson department store, has been in business since he was in the eighth grade. He is also prominent in football c i rcles, as he is a former University of Nebraska player.

For four years MRS. EVERETT ANGLE has been on the board. Active in Red Cross work since the beginning of the war , she is chairman of voluntary special service. One of her sons is in the army, one is attending the University of Michigan, and another is at home.

M C. LEFLER has held the position of superintendent of Lincoln public schools since 1920. Preceding this he was assistant principal of Lincoln high school and assistant superintendent of schools. H is ever-ready fishing equipment adds a touch of sport to this e xecu ti ve, who also has a liking for hunting.

F. M. GREGG is now president of the board , and has been a member four years. Forty-seven years in the teaching profession gives him a fine background for his present work. A remarkable fact is that one-sixth of Lincoln's teachers have been his pupils. He has ten published books to his credit , and one is used as a textbook in Lincoln schools.

W. A. ROBBINS , a board member for ten years, served as president three years. Mr. Robbins, president of the Lincoln School of Commerce , is not inexperienced in the field of education, as he has been with the school since 1904. Since that time he has seen many progressive changes in methods and machines of business.

ROBERT VAN PELT first convened with the board members two years ago. With a b4ckground of some 21 years of law practice, his knowledge is valuable to the board. After careful consideration, Mr. Van Pelt could find little displeasure in working on the board, and seems to enjoy it.

ELMER MAGEE is the only member who has attended Lincoln schools. Mr. Magee has been in mercantile business for many years, and is now presiden t of Magee ' s department store. He states that he enjoys all of his board work , and has learned much from it.

Administrative Body Plans for 1000 Students

R. S. MICKLE , possessing a certain calmness and patience, is well-suited for his tedious job of advising students concerning curriculum and vocations. He received an M.A. from University of Nebraska , and an A.B. from Doane college.

DR. J. E. LODER never seems to tire of his responsibilities as principal. His ever-present humor is popular among the students and his associates. He has an A.B. degree from Nebraska Wesleyan , M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska.

On MRS. MABLE D. THOMPSON rests the recording of student attendance, which is one of the largest jobs for this assistanf· principal. Added to the rest of her dut ies , she has English classes to tutor. She obtained an A.B. degree· from the University of Nebraska.

GRACE JANIKE has completed her first year of service as junior high principal. In addition to this, she instructs classes of language and social studies. She has a B.Sc. from the University of Nebraska.

Our school, the center and source of all the information and aid young students may desire, is proud of its beautiful library. Expert advice on any book or magazine , pamphlet or report rs available. Student assistants help others and learn by doing it. This room every student and teacher uses.

If the library is the a ll -school research center , the art department is the all-school publicity center. Many students register for the all-school art class ready to serve by making posters , charts, party decorations , p !ay sets, and articles past the ordinary imagination . Whether it's "Johnny Cox is coming" or "Broadway success 'Eve of St. Mark ' presented ," the a rt department has a hand. Such cooperat ion between departments is typical at Northeast.

Patsy Wilson, Patricia Kirkus, Mavis Money, Martha Panter, Frank Meyer, Bill Dauer, Georgia Lemon, and Pat Lang are pep_py as ever as the fifth period ends.

Jane Cunning and Colleen Gallegher work long hours and like it on any art project that comes iheir way.

Florence Gladson, Adalia Winklepleck, Maxine Dart, Delores Heiser, Keith Royer, and Mary McCurdy find a quiet place to study. Student assistant Margaret Hall stands ready to help Miss Lillian Griffiths.

Faculty are Helpers and Leaders

Students saw many different faces among the faculty when school convened last fall. Most of these teachers have become familiar, bu t a few did not complete the year. It was sad to see them depart , but new members were welcomed. These changes were due to present war-time conditions.

Not only have there been changes in the facu lty, but new courses pertain ing to war activities have been introduced. Instructors took this in their stride and adapted themselves to new subjects.

The 1unior high, with Miss Grace Janike, principal, has been divided into two groups .,,, The first group is composed of one hundred thirty seventh graders and ninety-six eighth graders. The other group of one hundred fifty-three 1s made up of ninth graders.

The 1un1or high has many organizations similar to those of the sen ior high. The junior high student leadership class, the cheer leaders, and the speech classes function as the older groups. The youngsters like to come to the school dances if they are a ll owed. They patronize the school carnivals and subscribe to the school paper and annual. Thus they begin to prepare for future activities.

"Some plants grow better in nutrient solutions than in soil." This fact was proved in the mixed science and arithmetic class when two beans were p:anted, one in so il and the other in a fertilizer solution. Over the week-end, the one in soil grew about _,., one-half an inch while the other grew nine inches. Science and arithmetic study is combined for all junior high folks.

Another newly devised class was the one combining English and social studies. Besides study in g formal Eng li sh , history, and current affa irs in their own c ity and state, these students study occupational opportunities. One important 9A project has been the making of personal inventory records. The results of the Kuder test and of various mechanical, arithmetic , and reading tests are here recorded.

Getting to the lighter side of school work are the pupils of the speech classes. They have given two plays, "L et's Make Up " and "Th e Dyspept ic Ogre. " Working on these plays was enjoyable not only for the casts but a ls o for the committee members, scurrying around making last minute preparations. They have written and presented short skits for school programs, but fhe climax was a series of 15 minute safety sketches aired over KFOR.

The physical education classes have gone on a war time schedule. They studied commando tactics and underwent strenuous calisthenics.

"Strange thin3, this scientific stuff." Performing the experiment are La Vern Frank, Gertrude Kennedy, Lloyd Worley, and Ed Ackerman.

Getting ready for the big play are Shirley Cramer, Marie Arrigo, John Lux, and Billy Vogelsang.

A future occupation is discussed by Patricia Kirkus, Merlin Bute, Keith Datus, Marilyn Robinson, and Jane Ann Harrison.

Prepared for a game of touch football are Bob Fitch, Bob Knight, and John Chamberlain.

Juniors Take on New Responsib il ities

The freshmen "don't know and know they don't know;" the sop homores "don't know, but think they know;" the juniors "know, but don't think they know;" and th e seniors "know, and know they know." This y ea r's junior class have proved they "kn ow " by the act ive part they've played in school activities.

The juniors, now half way up the high school ladder , have discovered their interests and abilities and are developing them. Study , and enthusiastic effort in numberless act ivities does the trick.

They are well represented in student le adersh ip, claiming the presidents for both semesters, organizations; pep club, "N" club, Girl Reserves, G. A. A. , Hi-Y , journalism, one-act plays, music groups, art, ath let ics, and the yearbook staff.

The class officers they elected we re: Jay Haviland, president; George Williamson, vice-president; Jean Thomas, secretary; and C liff Squires, treas-

urer. Miss Helen Becker and Mrs. Sue Worrall were the class sponsors.

In honor of the mid-year graduates, this group presented each senior a gardenia corsage. They sponsored a Hill-Billy prom and then concentrated on the Junior-Senior.

This class has profited from their years of high school experience, and are anticipating their greatest distinction, to be the 1944 senior class.

It isn't too early for students to start using their newly acquired skills in a practical way. Many are already earning money in clerking, typing, bookkeeping jobs. Some work in stores and shops; others, in private homes.

Agricu :ture shop boys find a market for their products , as special feeders. Making money ·is not a new experience for the ag boys. Their home projects are profitable.

The high school schedule provides a chance for individual interest projects, activities usually connected with some regular subject. The weather box , made by two physics boys , Zane Fairchild and Robert Gordon , contains such instruments as a barometer and thermometer. When this is all fixed, physics students may keep an accurate daily record of humidity, high and low thermometer recordings, and other interesting data.

That football game in the ram, rehearsing p lays, hilarious pep rallies, that first session folding surgical dressings, dancing to Northeast's own swing band, and then sitting on the platform graduation night are pleasant events recorded in the diary of a student's life at Northeast high.

Will you be inspired to sing "Thanks for the Memories" as you review the good times that haven't been rationed?

"A laugh a day to keep gl~om away " could be the motto of Northeast students. To keep them laughing and smiling organizations and sports have been set up. A student has an opportunity to develop his interests and abilities in various organizations and extra-curricular activities. The entire student body becomes as one in their common interest, to promote the teams-teams of which Northeast may well be proud.

In Order to Form a More Perfect Union,

To represent their f~llow students and to aid in cond ucting an efficient school program are the primary aims of the student leadership class. A secondar y aim, to develop the personalities and leadership qualities of the class members, is a vital part of a student's education; for out of high schools and leadership classes all over the nation come the civic leaders of the future. In the leadership class students become acquainted with the duties accompanying membership in a governing organization. Aside from regul ar class work , much time is given to committee activities , and to many formal business sessions.

As the name implies, the class is entirely made up of chosen leaders of the school: the presidents of the home rooms , the officers of the high school classes, and the presidents of the various clubs and organizations of the school. It was the responsibility of this all-high -school organization to plan all pep rallies, to plan and sponsor all the high school's parties and dances, and to handle all concessions at these various activities. The weekly convocations, the lunch-hour programs of amateur shows , moving pictures , and other features, were tangible projects planned and sponsored by this group. The class was a lso active in patriotic affairs. It

We , the Students of Northeast High "

played a prominent part in the organization of the Victory Corps, it aided in the promotion of the Red Cross and the scrap drives, and it gave its support to the organization of the Red Cross surgical dressing unit located at Northeast high school. To honor our own alumni and those members of our school who are in any branch of ou country's service, the class purchased the beautiful service flag which is hanging on the wall of the main school entrance.

Many important functions of the organization are entirely intangible. However, since it definitely

serves as a direct outlet to student thought and since it is a sensitive indicator of student opinion, i·:· renders the dist inct service of consolidating student thought and opinion.

The officers for the first semester were: Cliff Squires , president; Marolyn Hartsook, v ice-president; Jean Thomas , secretary; and Jim Barnhart , treasurer. The second semester officers were: Jim Yanney , pres ident; John Knight, vice-president ; Jean Thomas , secretary ; and Carol Schwartz , treasurer. Julius A. Humann was the instructor of the class.

"Lights, Curtain, Action!"

The drama students of Speech 111 began their dramatic "careers" with a study of the theater. Current Broadway plays and actors became the main topics of conversation.

Midway in the first semester, various plays were considered, and "Ever Since Eve" was chosen as the first production of the year. The play, written by Ryerson and Clements , is a comedy in three acts. Johnny Clover, high schoo l editor, puts out a special Christmas issue. As complications arise , Susan Blake moves in and takes over.

The popular comedy was also a financial success. $ I 00.00 was contributed by the speech class to the curtain fund.

Second semE?ster brought several additions to the class , and the first project was a series of radio skits. These skits were written by the students and presented over the public address system. The result was a variety of plays, melodramas, bed- • time stories, murder mysteries, and heart-gripping love stories.

Miss Margaret Servine, speech teacher, joined the W.A.A.C., and Mrs. M. G. Koser became director of the senior play, "The Eve of St. Mark.''

Written by Maxwell Anderson , "The Eve of St. Mark," a current popular Broadway play, is a simple drama of life and love in a world at war.

Oh lookie! It must really be something interesting. If you attended " Happy Journey" you would know what it was; if you didn't attend, ask the cast for an explanation. Darlene Tracy, Don Speir, Ruth Marvin, Don Wiggans, Bill Powell.

The beginning dramatics classes saw a dream come true when they gave their night of one-act p lays. Three plays were presented , "The Trysting Place," "Th e Happy Journey ," and "More To Be Pitied Than Scorned ," or "Parted On Her Wedd in g Morn." "The Trysting Place" was a comedy involving a family's love affa irs; "The Happy Journey" was a modern ordinary fami ly taking a trip, and the last play was an old time melodrama. All the students participated , and the profit was donated to the auditorium curtain.

The group a lso studied e xtemporaneous speaking, public speaking, conversation, and introductions. Two Wesleyan students , Miss Verle Gob le and Miss Marian Nis ley, assisted as practice teachers.

"It 's her-" one of the scenes from "The Trysting Place" as Bonnie Travis, Jim Yanney, Oscar Wisbey, Lois Burgess, Don Bykerk, and Billie Trombla set the stage.

"Ready Aim Fire, hold it , that's fine;" this shot 'Was taken during the play of "More To Be Pitied Than Scorned" or "Parted On Her Wedding Morn." The lady being threatened by Georgia Lemon is Gladys Mae Jackson, while Jim Bowmaster takes on the villain, Bob Dan 1ey. Lois Kreps and Alice Jones console each other.

Come on

"To guide, encourage, and promote ideas of health and sportsmanship," is the G. A. A. motto.

The club , headed by Margaret J,llen the first semester, and aided by Marilyn Payne, vice-president; Virginia Ulrich, secretary; and Helen Fitch, treasurer, began the planning of after-school activities such as swimming , volley-ball, basketball , baseball, and horseback riding. The latter was enjoyed the most for many because it was exciting and fun , even if they paid for it the next day with aches and pains in muscles and bones they hadn't realized they had. Second semester, the program was completed by Luci lle Cozad, who was elected president, and her staff , composed of JoAnn Amos , vice-president ; Lois Burgess, secretary; and Lois Thorfinnson , treasurer.

Inter-class tournaments were held after a practice sess ion of six weeks; swimming was held every Monday night the last nine weeks to get in practice for the summer season.

Before jo ining the Waves, Miss Kathryn Kellison did an excellent job of fulf illing her duties as sponsor. After Miss Ke lli~on left , Mrs. Helen La Bounty and Miss Audria Shumard shared the sponsorship.

Ready for the game? All decked out to join in the fun are Helen Fitch, Virginia Ulrich, Lucile Cozad, Margare~ Allen, Lois Burgess, Lois Thorfinnson, and JoAnn Amos, cabinet members.

Farming for Freedom

The second year of the Northeast Chapter of F. F. A. has been successful in work and progress. A new program of work has been formulated. Some of the goals for the coming year are: eighty per cent attendance at meetings and one hundred per cent attendance at class, better leadership, thrift, industry, and initiative. Club members will strive to live up to their motto:

Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve.

The number of projects completed shows the increased interest in work. Some of the projects are: A-shaped hog houses, chicken feeders, self-feeders , hay racks, wagon boxes, as we ll as forge items. Along with class and shop work the boys have had many interesting and educational opportunities presented during field trips.

Present officers are: Bob Gans, president; Dick Knight , vice-president; Stanley Lux, secretary; Leland Dodd, treasurer; Marion Packett, reporter; and Jack Standley, watch dog.

Officers of the first semester were: Gale Cratsenberg, pres ident; John Wright, vice-president; Marvin Johnson, secretary; Dale Kirkland, treasurer; Kenneth Borgman and LeRoy Dreeszen , watch dogs.

"Experience is the best teacher," proves correct, just ask Bob Porter, George Martin, Richard Clark, Dale Wilson, Ernest Sievers, and Keith Minder.

Women of the year-both semesters' cabinets get together. Seated on the floor are Ruth Johnston, Rosalie Skidmore, Mary McCurdy, and Virginia Ulrich; while more at ease are Mar3aret Bo·wen, Marian Cook, Miss Joey Carter, Marolyn Hartsook , Phyllis Warren, Miss Lillian Griffiths, Lucile Cozad, and Geor3ia lemon.

"Forward March-with Girl Reserves"

"Forward ma.rch with Girl Reserves," was the command chosen in keeping with the times for the club theme in '42-'43. As junior members of the Y. W. C. A. , Gir l Reserves emphas:ze leadership training and democratic living. Following their theme and slogan , " 'To fa ce life squarely," the Girl Reserves faced the rea lity of the war and stood behind the Junior Red Cross by participat ing in its scrap and tin drives , by making scrap-books for soldiers, and by rolling surg ical dressings.

Inter-mingled with the program were several outstanding socia l events and high spots. The G. R. vs. Faculty basketball "game," won by the teachers, was a "three-ring circus." At the mid-year installation of officers , a tea for mothers was held. The Dad and Daughter box supper was complete with auctioneer and square dancing. After three semest-

ers of planning, one hundred G. R. music books became a reality.

"With a Song • Their Hearts"

The appreciation and love of good music and being able t o produce it well , were some of the constant aims of the various groups of the vocal department of Northeast high under the direction of Miss Margaret L. Crone. These groups consisted of a mixed choir of 45 voices , a boys' glee club of 43 voices, a girls' glee c lub of 60 voices , a girls' small group and a boys' octet , besides a junior high mixed chorus of 60.

Among the accomp lishments of t he cho ir are the Christmas program in which they sang , "Beautiful Savior ," arranged by Christiansen , "The Sleep

of the Child Jesus" a French carol, and "Jesu Bambino " by Yon ; the spring program , Apr il 9, where they cooperated with the other music groups in presenting "Oh , Susanna," "Onward Ye People," and "The Bal lad For Americans." Then they plunged whole heartedly into the planning of a gala musical to be presented later on in the season.

Because of their presentation of colorful musical programs , the second choir in the history of Northeast high school has been appreciated by the community as we ll as the school.

"Practice makes perfect." Working out a new song are: Rosalie Skidmore, Marion Cook, Beth Stage, Jeanne Wood, Jeanne Jenkins, Nola Jean Chore, Carol Schwartz, Barbara Leonard, Dorothy Bimson, Mavis Money, Lucile Cozad, Barbara Spencer, and Miss Crone.

Among the musical groups at Northeast was the male octet. The boys in this group were chosen from the choir and appeared in many of the spring programs. The golden tones from their harmonizing, in Room 123 , often could be heard flooding the lower halls and traveling up the stairs to second floor.

"The Winter Song ," "The Jolly Roger," "Stout Hearted Men ," and "The Song of The Open Road," along with medleys of the armed forces , are a few of the songs that have helped the boys' g lee club gain its fame. The boys in the glee club were chosen for their tone qual it y and hard work.

An elective class first semester , but a selected number the second, was the girls' small vocal group. From the try-outs 13 girls were chosen, mostly seniors , to participate in programs given , not on ly for Northeast students , but for various clubs and organizations outside of school. The girls' repertoire was extraord inarily large.

These groups have been available for many high school assemblies all the year through , for family nights, the Christmas program, caroling , music festival, the spring program, and for the entertainment of various groups and clubs city wide.

It has been a happy year for the many members of the vocal department who enjoy singing.

Strike Up the Band

Music is doing many things in our present crisis to help America bear the heavy burden. Now, more than ever before, music is a national need. The concert band of Northeast high school under the direction of Vernon A. Forbes is contributing its part by helping the students maintain good courage and high morale. This it does by adding spirit to pep rallies, color to football and basketball games, and military precision to parades.

The band is endeavoring to cultivate a high standard of music appreciation in the school. Programs presented in school assemblies and public concerts are planned to build a better appreciation both for the performers and the listeners.

The musical activities of the band promote cheerfulness, good comradeship, co-operation, relaxation, and stimulate loyalty and patriotism among its members through actual participation. All these

things contribute toward building better citizenship. -

A prep band is maintained with the two-fold purpose of teaching the beginners the fundamentals of playing their chosen instruments and of giving further training to the less advanced players to enable them to fill vacancies in the concert band when they occur.

To assist in the proper functioning of the band, the following officers have been selected by the band members:

Zane Fairchild, president; George Williamson, vice-president; Don Wiggans, secretary; Carrol Van Dusen, treasurer; Ro lland Dudley, publicity manager; Matthew Russel, assistant publicity manager; Bruce Deal, property manager; Gene Hare, personnel chairman; LaVerne Everett , librarian; and Rolland Dudley , student director.

HIGH STEPPERS who wield the baton with an experienced hand are Darlene Tracy, Doris Schoenleber, Ila Faye Crooker, Pat Lang, Donna Strandberg, Miriam McClure, and Thelma DeWitt.

Seeking Higher Standards

The purpose of the Northeast Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Toward this high goal, the past year has shown progress.

Through the able leadership of the sponsors, William Grossoehme and Glenn Dorsey, and with the help of Artemus Brown of the Northeast Y. M. C. A., the club has been set on a sound basis and is now rnady for a well-organized, sound, and Christian Hi-Y.

During the past year the boys witnessed many disappointments, yet they had a successful year. A swim every other week, a party at the president's home, good speakers, and entertainers, and a barn dance topped off a goal to which future Hi-Y's may aspire.

Planning a dance! This business-like group really knows how to put them over too, for further information on how they do it ask Mr. Grossoehme, Bob Wilcox, Jay Haviland, Mr. Dorsey, George Watson, Warren Smith, John Knight, or D. H. Rasmussen.

The party given by club presi~ent, John Knight, was a highlight of the year. A football movie was shown, pool was played in the basement, and bingo was played for extra dishes of ice cream. At I 0 o'clock the party was broken up by the air raid practice as several of the boys are messengers.

The Hi-Y-G. R. conference drew to a close a successful and happy year.

Bob Wilcox, headman first semester, with his dependable cabinet, John Knight, vice-president, and D. H. Rasmussen, secretary and treasurer, steered a straight course. John Knight relieved Bob second semester; Bob became second mate while D. H. held down his first semester's post.

"Hey! don't forget to sign mine," is the cry which rings in your ears after passing the stairs where Northeasterners gather to write in each other's books. left to right are Lowell Heiliger, Lois Burgess, Martha Panter, Renita Francis, Edith Hutchinson, Gene Ball, Frank Meyer, Don Lincoln, D. H. Rasmussen, George Watson, Bill Dauer, Carol Schwartz, and Beth Stage.

"BIGGER AND BETTER is the kind of annual we want for this year," explains Rosalie Skidmore, the staff agreeing to this wholeheartedly. (Seated, left to right): Virginia Ulrich, Marcella Slajchert, Nola Jean Chore, Margaret Allen, Dorothy Simson, Georgia lemon, Ruth Johnston, Mary McCurdy, Ruth Chestem, Jeanne Anderson, Pagean Spencer, Billie Trombla; (standin3): Rosalie Skidmore, Don limbeck, and Bill Dauer.

A Dream Come True

"Anticipation is 90% of realization," but the Northeasterners are thrilled when their books materialize. The staff, which has worked hard and long to put out The Rocket, is compensated in seeing the students' enjoyment. Lack of flash bulbs and film caused difficulties. It was the cause of major celebration when John found that he could buy a number of flash bu lbs from a man who was going out of business.

We hope the 460 subscribers feel as if it's a ca use for celebration when they see the book, look at the pictures, and read the stories.

Another cause for joy was the fine job the advertising st9 ff did by selling almost $500.00 worth of advertising. The staff appreciates this co-operation.

Students dropping into Room 3 IO during third period found yearbook staff members at work (or otherwise). Members of the staff are: Rosalie Skidmore, editor; Pat Lang, associate editor; Nola Jean Chore and Dorothy Simson, senior editors; Virginia Ulrich and Pagean Spencer, organizations; Jeanne Anderson , classes; Ruth Chestem and Don Limbeck, features; Bill Dauer, sports; Marcella Slajchert, copy; Margaret Allen, a~t; John Knight, photographer; Ruth Johnston, boys-in-service; Don Wiggans, business manager; Billette Trombla, associate business manager; Margaret Hall, advertising manager; Georgia Lemon, associate advertising manager; Mary McCurdy, circulation manager.

An All-American Paper for An

All-American School

The Northeastern hung out its shingle in Room 310 the second semester, after functioning in the crowded conditions of storeroom No. 316 during the first semester. The fifteen members of the staff are assigned to various desks in the room and here the scoops and literary masterpieces are written, the paper made up.

"Youth United, Serving All," was the motto chosen for the school paper. Such is the goal of every staff member as they strive to back all efforts for the war and the school.

The war eliminated the annual Nebraska high school press convention; in its place a contest was held by mail. Northeast rated highest in state with

two firsts and two seconds. Mary McCurdy won a first in news writing and a second in proof reading. Margaret Hall tied for a first in grammar, and Marcella Slajchert tied for second in spelling.

The 1942-1943 Northeastern had many highlights. First and foremost was winning the highest national rating of All-American. Others were interviews with such noted personalities as Cornelia Otis Skinner, Helen Jepson, and Carveth Wells, an April Fool issue , and a Christmas issue. The beginners published two issues.

First semester editor was Phyllis Tea garden. Her staff was Rosalie Skidmore, Marcella Slajchert, first page; Mary McCurdy, second page; Keith

"Northeast, We Hail

Thee"

The Rockettes , the Northeast pep club , began their year by standardizing rules and membership limitations for the club. Twenty seniors, fifteen juniors, and five sophomores, or forty members in all, was the total membership. They also installed the merit system and organized a constitution.

They planned pep rallies, sold candy, and promoted enthus iasm at the games.

Miss Helen Becker and Miss Joey Carter were chosen as sponsors. Cheerleaders Marilyn and Geralyn Payne and Marion Cook were honorary

Officers elected for the two semesters were Rosalie Skidmore, Charleen Hinkley, presidents; Barbara Spencer, Ruth Johnston, vice-presidents; Virginia Ulrich, Georgia Lemon, secretaries; Ruth Johnston , Jackie Haas, treasurers; Martha Panter, social chairman; and Barbara Leonard , publicity chairman.

A hot dish supper served buffet style and a soup supper furnished the social life of the year for the club. After eating these luscious suppers the remainder of the evenings was spent in singing songs, playing quizz games, and conversing.

"Stout-hearted Men "

The "N" club's purpose is to create and maintain better sportsmanship and high morale throughout Northeast. With the guidance of four splendid sponsors, Bernard Galloway, Clifford Bosley, Francis Rezek, and Lawrence Teply, the club has achieved this high goal with no limitations.

In reaching this goal, the b~ys held a successful and entertaining business meeting every other week, ushered at every basketball game, served at dinners, gave highly successful and entertaining skits, and to top it off, they easily ran off with the prize for the biggest entertainment of the year , the "N" CLUB CARNIVAL AND DANCE. This an ;

nual attraction was attended by well over seven hundred enthusiastic people.

Then, as the season's climax, the group had an "N" club field day. The initiation of new members, games, and plenty of food were the high spots of the day.

Officers for the first semester were: John Knight, president ; Cliff Squires, vice-president; Wayne Sack, secretary; and Frank Meyer, treasurer.

Bill Grice took over second semester with Ralph Hites , vice-president; Chick Knight, secretary; and D:ck Ward , treasurer.

Many people predicted a dismal year ahead for the Northeast Rockets, who had lost fourteen lettermen , but Coach "Bun" Galloway's gridmen took on the best teams the state could offer and walked off with the coveted Mid-East championship and fifth place in the state.

The Rockets started the season by edging the visiting Hastings Tigers 6 to O in a tight game that sent Northeast into first place in the Mid-East race. Beatrice invaded the Black and White stronghold and met with disaster as the Rockets fought to a 7 to O win on a muddy field.

October 16 marked the game of games. Northeast traveled across town to the state's number one team, Lincoln high.

The Links' efficient use of the "T" formation , mixed with excellent pass ing in the first half , rocked the Rockets for their first setback , 14 to 0.

The 5 ,000 fans were not denied excitement as the ball traveled from one end of the field to the other with both teams d isplaying brilliant offenses.

The Rockets scored a touchdown and coasted through an easy first ha !f at Omaha Benson , but the go ing was tougher the second half. The Bunnies tied it up and then went ahead in the last minute of play on a blocked kick that rolled into the end zone.

Northeast returned home on the short end of a 12 to 6 count. This was the only game the Rockets played that they or their opponents did not win by a shutout.

The last game of the season between York and Northeast dec ided the Mid-East championship as it had the year before. "Bun's " boys turned the tables th is time and placed the trophy in the Rockets' hands. The 12 to O win finished a highly successful season.

Baseball Popularity Increases

With baseball popularity increasing in the Northeast stronghold , Coach Lawrence Teply found his work less difficult in rounding up a squad of players and a complete schedule to start off the 1943 season.

Forming six new comers around three veterans, Darrel Willet , Stan Thorfinnson ,and "Dutch" Meyer , Coach Tep ly worked hard to help the players develop hitting , fielding , base running, and team work. Long practice sessions and early season games soon had the team collecting their share of stolen bases, extra hits, and double plays.

With the spotlight pointing to the Lincoln high mix on April 29, the boys took the field as the usual underdog. However, ace hurler Darrel Willet showed the Links his idea of a curve that kept the boys swinging. A hitting slump and errors cost the Black and White the game.

Eagle played host to the Rockets in a windy exhibition that showed the visitors gathering eight runs while rookie pitcher Jim Weber tossed a nohit , no-run, dream game.

Gaining experience and confidence , the team was now ready for the remainder of their schedule and state tournament competition.

FIVE Tracksters Qualify For State Meet

Losing seven stalwarts from last year's track team, Coach "Bun" Galloway had to work hard and fast to develop new talent for the art of "point getting." Steady training developed practice marks and soon the squad was ready for its six scheduled meets.

The cinder-men ran past Seward in a dual meet scoring 681f2 points to 58 and taking eight blue ribbons for their first encounter of outside competition.

The team's scoring hit a high of 70 2/3 points in a dual meet with Beatrice, while the Orangemen took second honors with 421/2 points.

In the Lincoln Invitational meet, with five teams entered, the Rockets finished behind Lincoln for second place with 32 I/ 12 points.

Highlight of the season was the Southeast meet held at Beatrice, in which Northeast scored 41 7/ I 0 points to win the meet ahead of eleven other schools.

Carrying a large part of the attack and qualifying for the state meet are John Knight, Chick Knight, Owen Brainard, Roland Delaney, and Al Kirlin.

Another big event for the tracksters was winning the Mid-East conference meet at Beatrice with 521f2 points.

Owen Brainard won another trophy for himself by taking high point honors.

The champs returned home with a relay trophy and the first place cup.

Ba-.ck row: Ross Smith, Vincent Kess, Lyle Hovey, Bill Farrell, Gene Owens, Le w Webster, Bill Slaughter, Bob Blitch, Bud Howard.

Second row: C oach Bernard Galloway, Owen Brainard, John Knight, Bob Robinson, Cliff Squires, Da le Yost, Bob McIntosh, Dick Meyer, Coach Clifford Bosley.

Bottom row: Roland Delaney, Marvin Sellars, Wayne Sack, Dean Burham, Don Lincoln, Lel and Dodd, Gene Leonard, Chick Knight, Tom Brown.

Owen "Pinky" Brainard, senior, was rated as one of the best hurdlers in the state. He won every race he participated in up until the state meet. He finished second in both the high and low hurdles behind Tech's great Marvin Hall, for the only points Northeast cou!d collect. "Pinky" who counts on his speed between the hurdles more than anything is only five foot eight, which is quite unusual for a good hurdler. Owen also high jumps and runs a leg on the relay team.

John Knight , I 00 and 440 yard man, did not qualify in the state meet. Although John had timing in other meets which would have equaled the race at the state, he did not place. John was mainpoint getter all season, winning both the I 00 and 440 yard runs at Beatrice in the Mid-East meet He was anchor man of the relay team which came in fifth at the state meet.

Chick Knight was another hurdler, qualifying at Beatrice in the high hurdles, and he qualified in the preliminaries at the state meet. In the finals, "Chick " came in sixth and therefore did not collect any points. Charley broad jumped and ran a leg on the relay team.

Wayne Sack , sophomore miler, who won over Mid-East milers at Beatrice, ran his best mile at the state meet finishing a close fifth. Wayne is just a sophomore and in a few more years should be in the money in any race.

Roland Delaney did not qualify for any of the dashes but came to the state meet with the relay team, who "mudded" their way around the oval for timing which gave them fifth place.
