-LOOKING AHEAD

As we, the senior class of 1949 set forth to face the future, we pause to look back upon the years we have spent in the familiar halls of Northeast high.

Way back when we were seventh graders we were at first a little lost and bewildered, but it didn't take long to become accustomed to the new building, teachers, and classmates.

By the eighth grade, we were feeling right a: home. Junior Civic League trips and following the reserve athletic teams were just a few of the activities in which we participated.

As ninth graders we felt honored to elect the May princess from our class, in addition to the usual attendants . This was our last year of junior high with all the activities and exciting times. And how wonderful it would be to sit downstairs in cushioned seats during assemblies.

When at last we found ourselves sophomores, on our way toward the top, we found that senior high was not all fun We had to study a little harder than beforP and our cushioned seats weren't so much after all. The balcony was now being equi1 >ped with almost equally soft seats. Nevertheless, wefound time to join in many senior high activities and organizations such as athletics, musi-

cals, debate, FFA, Y-Teens, and Hi-Y . Proudly we planned our first sophomore sponsored dance, the Duck Waddle

During our junior year we were busy trying to get required subjects out of the way so as to enjoy a life of leisure during our last year as seniors. This year t"Jso brought one ot the biggest events of high school, the junior-senior banquet. Many hours were spent in planning it, and it was well worth the time and effort.

Seniors at last, our days were busier than ever, with senior assemblies, sneak day, senior meetings, preparing for the junior-senior, and ordering our announcements and class pictures. Too soon came baccalaureate, and then last but not least, graduation, marking the end of our happy, carefree school days!

It is with regret that we leave Northeast, with its familiar halls, teachers , and all of our friends, old and new, which we have acquired and have grown so fond of during our years here. Yet, each one of us is setting forth to face the future, each with a goal _ in mind which we hope to accomplish some time in the years to come, but always · with the memories of the good times and fun we had while we WP,re in high school.

Making plans for ordering caps and gowns for graduation are second semester senior cabinet members: Betty Hathaway, treasurer; Don Dugan, president ; Barbara Bollen , secretary; and John Whitlock, vice president.

TIME OUT FO

Northeast has always had a variety of fine, interesting assemblies for the benefit of students and tea~hers alike, and the school year of 1948-1949 was no exception.

Speakers of interest are always includ ed on the assembly schedule. Among those who spoke this y ea r were Dr. G. Rosenlof, ~irector of Qdmissions at Nebraska University; Reverend Lloyd Rising, pastor at First M ethodist church; Miss Mafcella Slajchert, successful Northeast alumna; Reverend John Wichelt, pastor of the First Evangelical United Brethren church; Dr. Rudolph Fredstrom of Nebraska Wesleyan; and Carl H.

ENTERTAINMENT

Entertainment is also of prime importance. On the musical side, were the exchange assembly from Lincoln Central , the Christmas Vesper service, a junior high Rocket Spotlight , two senior high Rocket Spotlights, the Wesleyan girls glee club, and an Alumni Spotlight.

Pep rallies added immeasurably to the succ ess of Northeast's teams. Highlights were the visits of Nebraska basketball coach Harry Good and Cornhuskers "Bus" Whitehead and Claude Retherford, the many Pep club skits, and the victory rally after the state tournaments, at which time the three new trophies which had been won during the basketball season were presented to the school.

LIGHTS, CURTAIN, ACTION

Entertainment at its best, for students and patrons alike-that is the theme of Northeast high's many musical and dramatic performances . The all-school plays, the operetta, and the instrumental music department's annual spring concert not only provided entertainment but gave instruction and experience to eager students in the fields of music and drama.

Three one-act plays were presented by the

dramatics classes. These included "The Valiant," a drama; "The Vlonder Hat," a comedy; and "Women of Judgment," a mystery.

"Ramshackle Inn" and "Every Family Has One," a mystery and a comedy respectively, were given by casts chosen from the entire student body. The plays were under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Reeder, tnstructor of speech.

MAY BEAUTIES REIGN

Northeast's traditional May Fete, a program dedicated to good health, was again held in all its beauty and color

High point of the day was the crowning of the May queen, a senior girl, who, after meeting certain scholastic and health standards, was chosen by popular vote of her classmates.

A. May princess, chosen from the ninth grade, four attendants from each senior high grade, and two attendants from each junior high grade were also elected. The program consisted of various dances and athletic performances by junior and senior higq_ boys and girls, and the May Pole dance by Child Center pupils

TAKING THE LEAD

The student leadership class of Northeast high school "shall promote the welfare of the school and assist in conducting the af£airs thereof" thus begins the constitution of the all-important governing body of Northeast the student leadership class.

Policing the halls at 1unch time purchasing a tape recorder for the school selling concessions at games . . . promoting good assemblies , such as the Rocket Spotlights, and exchange assemblies sponsoring the Basketball .Alumni dance . . . super,vising the activities of Hub club constitute a few of

the outstanding activities of the leadership class of '48-' 49.

One of the important tasks of the year was the rewriting of the leadership constitution concerning the election of leadership officers. The first time in the history of the school, the entire student body participated in the election of officers. The constitution was also revised concerning the election of club officers, honorary que~ns, and attendants.

Under the guidance of Julius Humann, sponsor, the various homeroom and organization representatives which make up the leadership class completed a very successful year.

PROVING THEIR POINT

Trips to various debate tournaments and the Fine .Arts festival at the University of Nebraska were the 1948-49 highlights of Northeast's debate squad.

With Mrs Elizabeth Reeder as adviser, the teams completed one of their most successful seasons

Debating the question: "Resolved that the United Nations should be revised into a federal world government", the squad traveled to Omaha and Hastings and played host to several out-of-town teams at Northeast.

Their first meet of the year was the invitational tournament held at Omaha Tech, which

is an annual affair. Later in the year, the squad participated in a panel discussion at the University of Nebraska.

The highlight of the debaters season wa~ the practice tournament held March 26th with Northeast and Lincoln Central as co-hosts to fourteen schools from eastern Nebraska and western Iowa.

.A more ex',ensive speech program has been planned for next year including extemporaneous speaking, original oratory, oratorical reading, humorous reading, dramatics, discussion, news casting, poetry interpretation, and after dinner speaking

CURTAIN ... GOING UP

"To recognize and promote significant s : udent achievement in any area of speech in the high school," is the object and main purpose of the up-and-coming Masque and Gavel-ers.

Meeting the last Monday of every month, they had time f9r play as well as work.

Mixing "morbid murders" and "crazy cranks", screams and laughter filled the auditorium air at their performance of "Ramshackle Inn."

"Something new" was ushered in as dramatists took part in a speaking choir . .A one-act play, "Orchids for Thanksgiving" was presented at the assembly observing that day. .A play was also given at the Christmas assembly.

Members "gave their best" for the spring produclion, "Every Family has One."

Several new members were initiated at the regular meeting held in late May. Students

first semester president

who were outstanding in speech work during the school year were invited to join.

.An all-school ticket selling contest was sponsored by Masque and Gavel to promote better attendance of plays. The senior class won the traveling plaque by selling 298 tickets. This contest will become an annual event.

By these activities, club members ended their third year with honors, success , and fun behind them

EARNING RECOGNITION

It was a successful year for the N club, under the leadership of Ron Butler, president first semester, and Burl Kreps, president E:econd semester. These were the boys who excelled on the sports field, whether it was the gridiron, the b asketball court, or the cinder track.

A five-man team of sponsors-Bun Galloway, Dawdy Hawkins, Max Rezek, Jack Messervey, and Lawrence Tepley lent the encouragement and advice that helped the club promote sports throughout the school year.

The climax of the year came when the boys put on their annual N club carnival. Then out came the water tubs for the penny pitch, and all the other "skill" booths. A sunny Wednesday found them picnicking with the girls at the N clubPep club picnic.

TOMORROW 'S REPORTERS

Counting heads . .. dummying pages writing and rewriting stories copyreading proofreading exercising the imagination giving and taking criticism editing mock issues "just for practice " holding every position on the paper .. . the beginners learned the " how's and wherefore's" of a journalist.

First semester staff members struggled through the post-Christmas edition, a foresight of "troubles and trials" to come. They learned that to see a story in print means hard work. Representatives attended the N.H.S.P.R convention, returning with ever-valuable experience.

It's a holiday! and the cubs take a trip to the Journal, seeing first-hand the hard work which goes into a newspaper Second semester and the pre-senior edition mean more worries and gray hairs. But a year of hard work all adds up to a superior staff for next year.

Coach Bun Galloway's football squad ended a successful 1948 season in a second place tie with Hastings in the Mid-East conference and a 4-4 record. Galloway molded his squad from a scant six lettermen and was hampered by injuries later in the season

Interest in the team rose to new heights when the Rockets subdued Beatrice in their opener, 21-0. Two quick touchdowns by Northeast, one on a recovery of the opening kickoH, left the Orangemen dazed. The suburban crew added six more points in the second period before the scoring was finished.

A 400 mile trip to Alliance gave the Rockets their first defeat , the Bulldogs coming from behind to triumph 19-13. Northeast led 7-0 at halftime. But undaunted, Galloway's charges smashed the Falls City Tigers in a bench clearing affair that ended in a five touch- · down romp, 34-6, at Magee stadium.

At the annual city championship game with Lincoln, a crowd of 10,000 at the L.H S oval saw a rugged, roughand-tumble game end with Central again the victor 26-0 Then the Rockets grabbed two Mid-East wins in a row, trimming Crete 13-0 on the Cardinal's windy field, and York 27-0 on the Rockets ' home grounds.

Still undefeated in conference play, the Northeast gridmen traveled to Fairbury only to be dropped 13-7 . It looked like a Northeast win until the Jeffs completed a fourth quarter pass for the winning touch d own. In the first half, the Rockets outplaye d the Jeffs and led 7-6 Omaha Benson, behind a hardhitting offense gave the Rockets another setback , tallying twice in the first half to gain a 14-0 score. After halftime Northeast fought back but couldn't gain enough momentum to score against the high geared Bunnies

Old man weather played havoc with the Rocket's hope for a winning season. The last game, with Hastings, had to be cancelled because the Hastings squad could not make the trip to Lincoln due to icy roads.
