Memories of this year 's events are vivid now. In our minds is a clear picture of our school and all the good t imes we have enjoyed this yearfootball , basketball , dances , parties, plays, and musicals . At the moment we need no crystal ball to call before us this panorama.

But, as memory dims through passing years, today ' s realities fade into the shadows Open this precious volume . It is your crystal ball. The magic of its pages will paint anew the pictures of your dearest memories .

They Meet Every Tuesday

Every Tuesday morning at 8:30 o'clock, six prominent citizens of Lincoln meet to take care of all the business of Lincoln schools, from appropriating $14,000 for the building of our new football field to allowing for the replacement of a broken stair rail.

School board members are elected to serve a term of six years. They perform their duties without pay, but they certainly contribute to the welfare of the school.

Assisting at every meeting are M C. Lefler, superintendent of Lincoln schools, Dr. 0. H. Bimson, assistant superintendent, and J. G. Ludlam, secretary

M. C. Lefler, the main cog in the Lincoln school system, has been superintendent since 1920 Preceding this, he was assistant principal of Lincoln high school and assistant superintendent of schools.

Dr. 0 H Bimson is assistant superintendent of Lincoln public schools. Before entering the city school system, he was superintendent of schools in University Place. Part of his education was obtained here at Nebraska Wesleyan university.

M. C. LEFLER

DR. 0. H BIMSON

" THE MEETING WILL COME TO ORDER " and the regular business of the board of education proceeds for George Lemon, J. C. Whitten , M. C. Lefler , Robert Van Pelt , J. G Ludl= , R. 0. Willi=s, Elmer Magee , Mrs E E Angle, and W A. Robbins

Our Administrators Are Democratic

Every school must have a principal-a stern-faced man with a bespectacled nose, always sitting behind his desk ready to discipline students who overstep one way or the other. But wait! Our principal isn't like that at all. Step into his office and meet Dr J. E. Loder. He'll call you by your nickname and as you plan some school activity with him you will be impressed with Northeast's fine spirit of democracy .

But when you meet Mrs Mabel D. Thompson, assistant principal, comes another surprise .R. smiling little lady, Mrs

Thompson is busy making out excuses and preparing work for her English classes.

R. S . Mickle, vocational counselor, is in a conference with one of our students, helping him decide which vocation he is best fitted for.

In charge of junior high is Miss Grace Janike. She sponsors the junior student leadership class, and also teachers English .

Did you see that group of little children? No, they're not child prodigies in high school. They ' re members of our youngest department at Northeast, the child center, under the direction of Mrs. Velma Hodder.

IT DOESN ' T LOOK LIKE .A HARD 1OB, this administrative work , but ask R. S. Mickle, Dr. J. E. Loder , Mrs. Velma Hodder, Mrs Mabel D. Thompson, and Miss Grace Janike.

tional movies, and putting on radio programs.

During the noon hour three of our teachers supervise the noon activities, which are the boast of our school. One superintends the cafeteria; one, the noon movies and variety shows; and one, the play-room.

A teacher's day is not complete when the last bell rings. There are always other duties to perform, not because they have to, but because they want to help.

After school, there is usually a teacher's meeting or a committee meeting downtown. The faculty, which is divided into four groups determined by the grade in their home rooms, meet every Tuesday afternoon. The elected chairmen of each group meet every Wednesday right after school with Dr. J. E. Loder and R. S. Mickle

The director of night activities must be present at every night function in the school building. Other teachers sell tickets at games, and supervise game concessions. Some - chaperone school dances. Others sponsor organizations and are present at all their meetings and parties.

Eight-fifteen-the beginning of a teacher's day . First, they come to the office to get their mail, and stop to chat a few minutes. When the bell rings, the routine of the day begins-checking roll, making out passes, reading the bulletin are all homeroom duties.

Aside from guiding students in their classes, many teachers enhance their subject matter by making attractive bulletin boards, colorful posters, showing educa-

A teacher builded a temple

With loving and infinite care, Planning each arch with patience, Laying each stone with prayer.

None praised his unceasing efforts, None knew of his wondrous plan, For the temple the teacher b1.t,ilded Was unseen by the eyes of man.

But the temple the teacher builded Will last while the ages roll, For that beautiful unseen temple Is a child's immortal soul.

The entire school mourned the death of Charles B. Mapes, one of the best liked teachers at Northeast. Evidence of his popularity was his election as sponsor of the 1945 senior class. Those fortunate enough to be in his classes felt benefited by his knowledge and understanding. In his death, Northeast students have lost an excellent teacher, true friend, and counselor.

Looki ng toward the future , the seniors of 1945 have prepared themselves for careers in the post -war world . Many will still be called to service on the battlefronts ; others will assume home-front responsibilities .

To them there will be nothing q 11ite as cheery as the memories of their school life as portrayed in this edi tion of the Northeast Rocket.

However the most important part of the yearbook is not in the black and white of the printer 's ink , but in cherished signatures of classmates and teachers .

High School Are All of Memories Northeast

To the senior class of 1945 goes the distinction of being the first class to be promoted from the Northeast junior high and to continue at Northeast until senior high graduation As a result , these seniors have definitely helped to establish Northeast traditions, and build up a fine reputation. Their entire high school memories will center around this, their school.

Students may be deprived of certain luxuries during war time, and the class of '45 has known no other condition in their high school years; but if they have lacked in material things , there has always been plenty of enthusiasm .

Juniors Have a Busy Year

A group of peppy, enthusiastic, and industrious students is recognized as the synonym for the junior class. These active underclassmen, who are eagerly anticipating their term as seniors, have had a busy year. Whom do the seniors look to for assistance? From participating in student leadership functions to assisting in the production of this yearbook, the juniors have played an important role in school life.

A sense of good judgment was expressed by their selection of capable students and teachers to lead them

Betty Lea Stack was chosen as the firstsemester president with co-officers Louise Mc-

Dill, vice-president; Yvonne Tyrrell, secretary; and Tom Emel, treasurer.

At second-term elections, fohn Lux was selected to head the class. His contemporaries were Lila Mae Tracy, vice-president; Tim Gordon, secretary; and Dorris Thomas, treasurer.

L. T. Teply and Bernard Galloway, the basketball and football coaches , were named as sponsors.

An all-school Easter party, the " Bunn y hop", was sponsored by the class and the wellremembered funior-Senior was planned and directed by ~hem as a farewell gesture to departing seniors.

Science Miracles in Post- War Plans

The miracles of science increase more rapidly as the years unfold. The improved methods of warfare have proved this to us. Gigantic post-war plans ranging from the magical devices for housecleaning to the high-powered , amphibious automobile have left us baffled with thoughts of what future years will bring Nol only have new machines of destruction and work-saving gadgets for home use been developed, but a great surge forward in the medical world , with the discovery of penicillin and the sulfa drugs, has filled us wilh hope and anticipation for more , and similar, finds

which will ultimately lead to a happier , healthier world .

Early training in the field of science is not only a great asset to the students who plan to enter such a vocation, but it teaches every pupil the fundamentals necessary to enjoyable, healthy, everyday living.

Northeast is well-staffed in the science department with E M Jeffery and William Grossoehme to head its biological and physical science laboratories where up-to-date methods and materials are used

D:ies history repeat itself? This question arises frequently as students delve into the problems of past centuries. Thorough know. ledge of the world's domestic and foreign affairs from the growth of the Roman Empire to the present time will aid these future diplomats, statesmen, and even the ordinary citizens in assisting in the organization of a post war world.

Research work in the school and public

libraries is an important factor in the study of past and present world policies

An example of the modern method of improving world-vvide friendship is the study of foreign languages The extension and improvement of the Good Neighbor Policy is taken into consideration here at Northeast where classes of Spanish not only acquaint the students with the language of our Latin.American neighbors, but where conditions and customs of the countries are taught.

Sturdy Foundation for the Future

Good literature enriches and stimulates the mind. Mathematics improves its powers of reasoning. What life or vocation can be thought of as complete when not even a taste of either has been sampled? On the contrary, the appreciation of good literature and the understanding of some phase of mathematics are powerful stimulants Shakespeare ' s writings, for example, deal with almost every human problem imaginable His wise solutions have comforted generation after generation since his time. Present day authors base many of their

works on the thoughts expressed by the writers of a younger world A substantial literary background is an asset to an understanding of modern writings How could the architectural, engineering, or scientific projects of the world have been accomplished without the contributions of mathematical philosophers like Pythagoras, Plato, or Thales?

Knowledge acquired from both the mathematical and literary fields aids in establishing a sturdy foundation not only for "future college students , but for everyone.

Business Knowledge Valuable to All

With rapid expansion of business comes the need for people with commercial knowledge and experience The typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping classes of Northeast are enrolled not only with members of the fairer sex, but with the boys as well. An average of thirtythree students in each of the classes speaks for their popularity

Many of the girls who followed the stenographic course here have obtained interesting, well-paid positions in all parts of the country.

The business firms and banks of Lincoln are generously sprinkled with former Northeasterners. In a survey among the senior high s tudents, it was discovered that business knowledge of some kind is considered valuable to everyone, regardless of the individual's vocation

The increased interest in the various business courses may be attributed to the fact that such knowledge makes for a keener, more alert mind. Young people today are aware of the need for faster , clearer thinking.

Training for Everyday Tasks

Darning stockings or making over clothes are ordinary jobs that accompany a girl into her role as a housewife. Home-making , in every detail from the fundamentals of cooking to the art of interior decorating , is an important subject to the girl who hopes for a home of her own.

The presence of a handyman around the house is always appreciated. Simple everyday tasks are quickly called to his attention . .A. desk he makes, a magazine rack, or a lampstand, change the appearance of a house to that of a home.

The daily newspaper is cons idered a necessary item in every household. By learning the steps of setting up a school paper, students will be able to understand and appreciate the evening paper more fully.

Not even the basic things of life can be enjoyed if the need for a healthy mind and body are overlooked. Courses in hygiene and homenursing are now required of each student.

The practical courses are not forgotten amid the history, languages , and mathematics at Northeast.

Time Just for Fun

.All work and no play makes Jack (and Jill, as well) a dull boy .American youth need never fear the time when this saying will be discarded and a harsher theory take its place Distinguishing characteristics in the make-up of an .American are his sense of humor and his endless search for pleasure.

From kindergarten to high school days and on into the rest of his life, an .American youngster acquires and uses his abilities of playing pranks and n;iaking jokes to bring joy and

happiness not only to himself but to everyone around him

"Oh, just for fun!" explains many of the deeds he performs . Yet, underneath his jovial countenance, beneath his merry eyes, serious and wholesome ideas are collected.

Other nations should heed .American ways. Laughter in place of a forced salute might be an effective remedy. America has been built around it!

" GATHER 0 ROUND US " So Jerome Schmidt, Clarence Newsham , Ray Lucas , and Duane Grantski heed the command of Shirley Mercer and Margaret Ruden

"THE WA.Y I HEARD IT! " Some gossip of boys and clothes occupy time between classes for Marjorie CGdy, Marcella Sharidan, Darlene Feis , Verna Swale , and Ruth Christensen

Sophomores Participate in Every Activity

To say that they are sophomores full of enthusiasm , interested in school procedure, active in social functions , would be only a partial description of this year ' s sophomore class.

Completing their first year of real high school life, the class has been represented in almost every activity. Many sophomores have joined the various organizations , taken part in athletics, and helped on major school projects and have efficiently fulfilled their responsibilities.

By popular vote the group elected two sets of class officers First semester officers were Gene Nelson , president ; Paul Hartman , vicepresident; Marilyn Grossoehme , secretary; and Bob Knight , treasurer . Gayle Voller , president ; Joan Bingham , vice-president; Bob Fitch, secretary; and Jean Janke, treasurer, held the second semester class positions. Chosen as class sponsors were Mrs Sue Worrall and Watson Coleman

Highlight of the year 's events was the " Puddle Jump, " an all-school dance, planned and sponsored by the sophomores themselves

"WHERE DOES THIS GO? " asks Marilyn Grossoehme of Alan Farmer, "Fritz" Davis, i'ohn Proffitt and Bob Rosenquist, all experienced band members

Gene Nelson Gayle Voller

" WHAT'S MY NOTE?" asks Marvin Spaur of accompanist Mrs. B F. Schwartz , as Forrest Rupert , Marky McKinney, Kim Ura and Loretta Yanney get off to a head start during some s mall group work in choi r.

Some Problems Are Tough

Time goes on . Man makes gadgets to check the wind, water, and even take currents from the air to make electricity, but we have never found out much about time.

fls the days go , new tools are created to advance civilization. The radio brings our neighbors all over the world right into our homes; the telephone makes it possible for us to talk with them . Ideas for inventions along this line and in many other fields may come from students who are in school now and have had the opportunity to experiment and study in Northeast's well-equipped laboratories.

Disease is a terrible thing; we never know when it is coming to our community , to our homes, into our own bodies, but we must be prepared for it. Many a cure has been found, many are yet to be discovered; cures that will save many lives and prevent much human suffering

Such miracles may be performed by some Northeast high school student who faintly visualizes his achievement from watching simple experiments in science class or working out an equation in mathematics.

" SHOW ME TOO " - s a ys Bob Knight as Joan Hannan exp lains to Gene Nelson , Bonnie Bentz and Betty Mae Daniels.

"PARDON MY POINTING, " e xplains Janet Ringler to Gayle Voller , Jim Liggett , Gene Draper , and Donna Benson, but it's excused in geometry class

" WHAT CAN YOU SEE?" ask s Howard Griener of Be t ty Millhouse , Beatrice Fox , Janice Ulrich , Eudora Kennedy , Jack Gothard and Gerald Barr et as they look i n to an aquariam i:1 biology class

NOT STAR GAZING but the same results are found by Cozier Kline, Gwene Mohler , Ed Vantine, Jer r y Ludwig , and Gerald Sundberg .

History Related to the Present

Newspaper headlines, newsflashes, public speakers, all tell us of current history. Students study world history and relate it to the present because they are studying about the same places that appear in •the war news.

History never seemed so real until the present situation brought our neighbors across the waters so close to us. We pick up a paper, listen to the news, or go to a movie and are told about world history that is being made for the next generation

Northeast not only teaches about the different types of government but has a good ex-

ample of the democratic form within the school , our student leadership class Students are given practice in voting procedure Registering at the proper time and voting in the proper polling place were part of the all school election project, sponsored by the flmerican history classes and student leadership.

Two days a week history classes read current papers and news magazines. They followed with interest preparations for the San Francisco conference and plans for a world peace organization.

"WHAT WERE CAUSES OF THE WAR? " wonders Do!'lna Troxell during a world history test as Frances Hansen, Lucia Wills , Tom Worley , Marilyn Gustaf s on, Helen Fuller, and " Butch " Hartley ponder over similar questions

" LET ' S FOLLOW THE NEWS " suggests Jim Wroth to Bernice Hilliard , Ruth Ann Sanstedt , Phyllis Biggerstaff and Kathleen Forbes He tune s in the radio while the girls study the maps

STUDYING , BUT IT 'S FUN-If you can pick the time and the place Donna Shirey , Gene Cederdahl , Marvin Dudley , and Dori s Armstrong enjoy the library.

" HERE IT IS ," says Kenny Ho!Mann to Audre McClur e , Bob Chriswisser, Loretta Yanney and Florence Wright , who are studying the Every Week in world hi s tory class

It's Difficult to Choose

Always a difficult task to a sophomore is the planning and choosing of his high school curriculum . This means the selection of courses and subjects which will be most helpful in his chosen vocation. He must first decide what subjects in which he wishes to major and minor. One of the most popular and frequently chosen as a major subject is English

Many sophomore boys chose drafting as a favorite subject. To them it is both intriguing and beneficial.

The expression "Experience is the best teacher " is found to be true after completing a course in .office practice. The practical experience gained while doing routine office jobs will be invaluable to the many welltrained sophomore girls.

Learning the latest methods of doing work in the fields of clothing and foods is only a part of the extensive home economics course. Even more advanced training will be offered to the girls in their next two years.

" SOME PEOPLE ARE TUST NATURALLY BRIGHT ." That ' s what Fred Bradford , Bill Mahagan and Don Fiske think as Cecilia Mergenthaler and Eula Mae Schuette help them with English

" FUTURE BUILDERS OF AMERICA " are Kenneth Smith , Lyle Lindamood , Don Dickinson and Bob Fitch , all studying their drafting plan s.

RELAXATION AND CHATTER both fill in the time between classes for Darlene Weaver , Shirley Worley, Jean Janke, Shirley Cramer, Russel Irons, 1'ack Bridge, LeRoy Gerner, and Paul Bishop

Work and Play All • 1n a D .ay

After a hard session of math or science there's nothing like a di.p in the pool or the quickening games and exercises of the gym . Credit for play? That's right! And it's more than credit in hours; it's credit in spirit and energy for the less vigorous, but not less wearing activities of the day, to say nothing of the health reserve one is building up for the future.

It usually doesn ' t take the whole five minutes to get from one class to the other, so why hurry? Let's catch up on the news , see about that book , say "hello" to the friend we missed this morning--or even make a date Five minutes-but it is a pause that refreshes and you don 't need a coke

"SO ME PEOPLE HA.VE ALL THE LUCK " Taking a few minutes outside are-Jean Kohl , Joan Harbough, Ruth Carter , Barbara Morey, Betty Sabin, Betty Green , Shirley Worley, and Marie Arrigo.

" UP , 1-2-3-4; DOWN, 1-2-3-4! So that's the way you boys build your muscles ." Doing their setting up exercises are Clair Kohl , Paul Hartman, Bob Norton, Jim Blessing, Bob G loe, Bernard Bradsby , Ed Childress, Harry Riddle, and Lloyd Hink ley .

Two representatives are elected from each junior high home room to serve in the leadership class. This class meets each day under the supervision of Miss Grace Janike, the junior high principal, to discuss problems of the junior high and plan its different activities.

The accomplishments of the class are many. They planned and took part in assemblies , promoted loyalty in pep rallies, started recreation during their lunch period, contributed to the paper and Red -Cross drives, and through their courtesy committee have created a friendly and cooperative atmosphere for new sfudents.

"For the People ... By the Pe op 1e"

Since its beg inning , the senior high student leadership class has proved to be the backbone of our school government and has played an important role in all school activities

It is a truly select group , consisting of the presidents of all senior high home rooms , heads of school organ i zations , and class presidents, who are elected through a democratic procedure .

Head of the group during the first Eemester was Gladys Jackson. Other officers were Le -

Roy Yanney , vice-president ; Lois Hendrix, secretary ; and Ji m Bo wmaster , treasurer . Elected as second semester officers were Bill Slaughter , pres ident ; Paul Dunbar, vice - president ; Betty Grice, s ecretary ; and Lo is Stottern , treasurer.

To more efficientl y conduct school bus iness , each member of the class is placed on one of the following committees : student welfare , ho~e front , convocation , social, noon hour , and rally.

which proved to be an interesting and educationai experience; was the model presidential election. Other undertakings of this group were the planning of a Memorial Row of trees to be dedicated to Northeast alumni.

Sponsorship of school war drives and the mailing of the school paper to Northeast servicemen are two of the main accomplishments of the home front committee.

"Around the World" has been the timely theme used by the convocation committee in planning for the assemblies this year. Each speaker represented a foreign country. Special holiday and memorial programs were also presented.

"Harvest Hop, " "Midwinter Frolic, " " farmer's Ball," and "Turnabout Dance " were four of the gala all-school parties planned by the social committee. Their originality in choosing themes is to be commended.

The movies, songfests, and amateur programs during the lunch periods were supervised by the noon hour committee.

The planning of pep rallies to stimulate school pep and spirit for our athletic encounters is chiefly the work of the rally committee

The class was under the direction of Julius A. Humann.

"Joined to Others by Service"

Using the idea of competitive teams, the Girl Reserves held a clever and successful membership drive as their first major project of the year. During the drive, over 150 senior high girls joined. Besides becoming a Girl Reserve,

each girl also automatically becomes a junior member of the Y.W .C.A. The ideals of the club are best expressed in the Girl Reserve code, for a girl's reverence, friendliness, service, graciousness, ability, and health are promoted.

The club, again under the leadership of William Grossoehme and Ellis Jeffery, and ably assisted by the secretary of the Northeast Branch of the Y.M.C.A., Artemus Brown, has succeeded in developing one of the best balanced programs it has yet had One of their most interesting pi'bgrams was a discussion of the new rocket ship.

Always a popular affair is the pie-feed, which was held again this year for Hi-Y members and their dads The program included an explanation of the meaning of the club's emblem. Other functions, such as a weiner roast

"Those Who Labor i n the Earth"

"Doing to Learn and Learning to Do" is the motto of the industrious Future Farmers of America, sponsored by Lloyd Schmadeke.

Glen Sorenson was elected president of the club and Gien Beavers vice-president; Ed Vantine, secretary; Dean Nelson, treasurer; Bill Mahagan, news reporter; and Kenneth Lux, watchdog.

Some of the activities of the F.F.R are repairing farm machinery, learning welding and acetylene, and revising horse drawn machinery into tractor drawn They have taken an active part in the promotion of the public cannery in Lincoln. Making wagon boxes, chicken and turkey feeders , saw horses, hog troughs., and rafters are shop projects. Each boy carries out a home project. The entire program includes 20 baby beeves, 15 dairy cattle , 10 swine projects, 1 project of 25 acres of corn, 5,000 broilers and 300 laying hens.

This work in the agriculture department and F. F. R qualifies the boys for regular employment; many are already working part time at the Agriculture College. This money so earned helps support their projects until the profits are realized . Most of the boys have bank accounts, some as high as $400, and have bought government bonds.

"Where Music Dwells"

Growing steadily under the direction of Vernon A. Forbes, the orchestra has developed into a pride not only of Northeast but also of the surrounding community

Performances during school play intermissions, selections in the annual May Day, and provision of music for other school functions were only parts of the orchestra's schedule Requested engagements at community affairs were also filled in addition to school events

One of the special engagements was when the orchestra played musical interludes for the First Methodist Church dramatic program. This year the first tour of grade schools in Northeast Lincoln was made in order to help the younger people to choose the instruments best suited to them. This custom will be continued bi-annually.

It has also been their aim to enlarge their number of instruments. One of the new and valuable instruments acquired was the tympani.

The orchestra cab inet was headed by Margaret Stone and Jane Cunning, presidents, first and second semesters respectively Other cabinet members were Kathleen Forbes, vicepresident; Marilyn Miller, secretary; Vernon Forbes , Jr., property manager, and Jim Christensen , librarian. Phyllis Wroth was student 9irector,

Be sides the advanced band and orchestra, th e instrumental music department also includes both a preparatory band and orchestra. The name " preparatory" describes the work of these groups, that of preparing the younger and less experienced students for membership in the advanced groups

Not only do the students receive instructions on how to play the various instruments, but they also gain the experience of working together and of being members of an organized music group . Special challenges between,students are frequently held to encourage their own improvement. Approximately 50 students will enter the advanced groups next year .

Practically the same instruments are used in the prep groups as in the advanced ones The school provides instruments for those who wish to play but have no instruments of their own.

The group made its first public appearance when it played for the Family Night program.

"Every Tone Is

People and music are a great cycle of creative pleasure. Music grows out of life

Music in turn helps life to grow happier and more noble as told in:

"Great Nature had a million words, In tongues of trees and songs of birds, But none to breathe the heart of man, Till music filled the pipes O ' Pan."

Keep singing, work and enjoy doing it, is the motto of the vocal music students under the direction of Miss Margaret L. Crone, vocal music instructor

A senior choir of eighty members work on the best of mixed-voice musical· literature, sacred and secular.

Music's Own"

A selected group, the girls' special small group, is much in demand for their singing. During this year they have made over fifty public appearances throughout the city.

The girls' and boys' glee clubs are unselected; registration in both classes is unrestricted and voluntary. Basic voice t r a i n i n g is given in these groups.

" All in a Day" was the theme of Northeast's

"Song Passes Not Away"

spring musical, given May 18 It was original in theme , being planned and sponsored by the boys ' and girls' special groups, and the senior high choir and glee clubs.

"Art for Art's Sake"

Remember the football banquet, the spring musical, the cute dances, plays and the Junior-Senior? School day memories!

The class in Room 319, directed by Miss Miriam McGrew, planned and constructed the decorations for such activities . An important aim is to decorate efficiently and attractively for the occasion, on an economic basis This class consists of high school students outstanding in this work The approval of Miss "Mac", as she is known to her pupils, is necessary to register for this class

The past year 117 indivduals have contributed to happy events gone by. Many hours after school have been spent on plans and decorations to make the evening a success. Credit is given for the class, but the highest reward is the appreciation of students and faculty

"The Pla y's the Thing"

Still one of the comparatively new Northeast organizations is Mu Kappa Tau or the dramatics club Taken from three ancient Greek words, the name , when freely translated means mystery , comedy, and tragedy , the three types of drama.

Composed of senior high students, the club is open only to pupils enrolled in the advanced speech class . Naturally since it is a dramatics club, its purpose is to select and produce two plays each year.

"Seven Sisters," by Edith Ellis, was selected as the winter play . With a Hungarian cottage as the setting for the play, an especially novel stage set was built. Special study was made to plan authentic properties . An exact replica of a Hungarian fireplace and colorful artificial plates added to the clever background Everyone will remember the attempts

With a circulation of over 1000 , the paper has reached almost every Northeast student and Northeast Lincoln home Besides this , it has been sent to Northeast servicemen in all parts of the world

As usual, the paper , published every two weeks , was a four page publication Regular columns, interviews, and features were of special interest The two outstanding issues were the Christmas and Senior. Both contained six pages and were filled with special feature stories

Also of interest was the paper edited by the beginning journalism students. These students have written many stories for the paper this year and aided the regular staff as assistants.

Editors were Barbara McClure and Lois Hendrix , first and second semesters, respectively Miss Ruth Cross was the adviser

One of Northeasts' peppiest and most spirited organizations this year was the pep club, more familiarly known as the Rockettes

Efficiently fulfilling their purpose of stimulating school spirit, the group was the backbone of the cheering at both pep rallies and games . Dressed in their now traditional uniforms of black and white, the club always made an impressive appearance

Sponsorship of concessions at several home games, revision of their constitution , and the presentation of original skits for rallies, were a few of the club projects The girls also had

"To Love the Game Beyond the Prize "

Every boy who has earned a letter in competitive sports at Northeast becomes a member of the " N " club. The group is sponsored by the three coaches, " Bun " Galloway , "Max" Rezek , and L. J. Teply. The high light of their activities was the annual " N" club carnival in the spring .

The leadership displayed by these boys on the football field, basketball court, track and baseball diamond will be in evidence in

another field of endeavor known as the game of life. Sportsmanship, co-operation, and independent thinking, which are a part of athletics, will prove valuable in the future.

"N" club members elected Bill Slaughter as president the first semester; Don Spier, vicepresident; and Wayne Sack, secretary-treasurer. Second semester officers were: Jim Bowmaster, president; John McCurdy, vice-president; Cornell Davis, secretary; and Harold Howard, treasurer.

he beat of drums as the band parades by, The gym e choing back the spirited "Fight, Team, Fight," A thousand students standing as a thousand voices join in the Cheer Song, The thundering roar when the game ends.

These are some of our most vivid memories of this year at Northeast high.

Although our football team did not "bring home the bacon " in the form of championships and golden footballs, the 1944 season was a thrilling one. Only three veterans reported to Coach "Bun" Galloway at the beginning of the season. "Old Man Hard Luck" was upon them and injuries suffered during the first few weeks of practice were a severe setback.

Highlights of the season were the Lincoln and Creighton Prep games. The fans who crowded into the Lincoln high Oval October 13 were not disappointed. The Rockets played an inspired and brilliant defensive game, holding the surprised Links scoreless until the last three minutes of play when two major penalties put the ball on the Northeast six yard line. From there, Lincoln high scored to win a 6 to O victory.

It was at Creighton Prep that the team made a brilliant comeback in the surprise upset of the season. They met the Junior Jays, and by combining the same defensive talent they had displayed against Lincoln Central and an equally powerful offense won a 13 to O victory. The Rockets were the only team to beat the best team in the state. One of the touchdowns was made on a sensational 99 yard dash by John McCurdy, the longest and most outstanding run of the season

After two conference losses by narrow margins, Crete.6 to O and Fairbury 7 to 6, Northeast finished the season with a bang by defeating York 36 to O on the Wesleyan field. In this game the team rolled to the goal line on the first four plays of the game. They returned the opening kickoff some seventy yards to the York 20 yard line and scored on the next four plays .

Although it wasn't a good season from the standpoint of the state ratings, wins and losses, it was successful from the standpoint of the spirit of the team and cooperation with the coaches.

At the end of the 1945 season the football team chose Bill Farrell and Jim Bowmaster as their honorary co-captains. Although these two boys were two of the smallest on the team, they were the biggest from the standpoint of spirit and leadership.

Also honored in this year's team were Don Lincoln and Bill Slaughter who were chosen by the coaches of our opponents to represent Northeast at the Co-op dinner at the Junior Chamber of Commerce.

At the end of the season Northeast students and patrons held a football banquet to honor the team and to present the honorary co-captains. The football queen, Mary Lou Peterson, was presented at the dance following the banquet.

Page Seventy-Four

flt the begin.11ing of the season, Coach L. J. Teply had but two returning veterans. Due to lack of experience the Rockets got off to a slow start but they improved steadily throughout the season even though the competition got stiffer as the season progressed. They had just begun to show their real ability toward the end of the season The outstanding games were those with Lincoln High, Norfolk, and Crete.

Norfolk, rated as one of 1he top teams of the state, led the Rockets until the last two minutes of the game when a rally by the Black and White gave them the one point margin needed to win the game. The Rockets were the first team to beat Norfolk. ·

The northeast team played an equally outstanding game against their cross-town rivals, Lincoln High, in both the city and district tournaments.

Seventy-one poiuts, the highest score made by any Northeast team, was tallied in the last game of the season against Crete, a thrilling climax to the season.

We have received many interesting letters from boys stationed over the world. From many have come unusual tales. Tales of courage, of death, of strange places. Places only dreamed of in boyhood, and now to be a part of the dream, only in a different sense. From islands of the South Pacific, such as Palua, Iwo Jima, and the Marianas, to Japan itself we hear names such as Liygana Gulf, and Rhun Pocket; now the battle grounds of our brothers and friends.

Northeast is proud of her boys in blue, green and khaki.

From the first day in boot camp till that welcomed furlough from overseas, comes the constant flow of news. Out of civilian clothes into the Navy Blues is really a change. It seems the boys find little time , at these busy places but work, work, and more work.

"We've been out at sea for several days now. We're headed for the South Pacific to let those Japs have a taste of our lead!" Being out at sea is no novelty to many old timers. One wrote of seeing nothing but water, and more water for weeks. " Once a sub was sighted and gave us all a mighty big scare!"

The world is, after all, a pretty small place. "I ran into a boy from Northeast the other day. He was home not so long ago and got all the latest dope. It gets pretty lonesome out here on island. The only company we ever have is once in a while when some Japs drop in!" The Japs' "visits" are eagerly awaited in some lonely islands. "Gotta have something for excitement" one grad quipped.

All of the boys seem to agree on two points. First, they want to be in the thick of it and get the business over with so they can come home; and second, the most important thing is mail, mail, and more mail.
