Seniors

We the senior class of 1944 are the first class to complete all requirements for the three year period at Northeast high school.

When in the fall of l_941, the opening of the new school became a reality, we came from several comm uni ties and ·met for the first time.

In the three years we have been together, we have become friends and classmates. .Although our class has always been small, it has been an active one. Some of our many activities are recorded in this book. It will be these activities and the many friends we have made that will provide our greatest memories of Northeast high

Basketball

By winning nineteen out of twenty-three games, nabbing the Mid-East title, winning the Beatrice regionals, and losing by a heart-breaking point to Omaha South in the State Tournament, this Rocket quintet commanded attention throughout the season as one of the leading teams of the State.

Lead by seniors Al Kirlin , Cliff Squires and Joe Laub, the Northeast team piled up a total of 768 points to their opponents 526 in the regular season, for an average of 40.4 points per game. In the Beatrice Regional Tournaments the Rockets scored a total of 118 points to 86 for their opponents, averaging 39 3 points per game. In the first round of the State Tournament we lost by the slim margin of 24 to 23 to the great Omaha South team, who later went on to win the crown. Highlights of the season were the overnight trips to Fremont, Norfolk, and Columbus, our loss to Lincoln High in the Coliseum, and the return game with them in the regional finals where we gained our revenge for the earlier defeat. Who will forget the second night of the regional tournament, when some one hundred Northeast followers were "snowed in" for the night?

There were many ups and downs in the season, but when the final gun went off in each game there were none who didn't look with pride to our great team, which produced the most successful season in the history of Northeast.

It seems impossible, but during 1943, more people were killed in automobile accidents than we have lost in the first two years of war. Over one million people were injured. Those are some of the thoughts that Mr. 0. D. Trombla, Secretary of the Standard Reliance Insurance Company , gave to Jim Weber, Bus Wymore, and Billie Trombla. Even in these days of big figures , the sum of over three hundred million dollars was lost in 1943 to the American people, as a result of fire. We may be wrong, but we think Mr. Trombla was trying to impress on their minds the necessity of carrying automobile and fire insurance to protect them against such accidents or fire losse5
