Southeast High 1956 Yearbook

\~~l We, the first yearbook staff of Southeast High School, present to you ' ~ The 1956 SHIELD-a candid treasure of the year's happenings. Through our scrupulous effort, we sincerely hope that this publication, your first yearbook, portrays Southeast High School and its ever-increasing spirit, nobility, and foresight in a most vivid manner-that was our goal.

What lies ahead in the future of Southeast High School is unknown, but as we, the students and faculty, look ahead, we inevitably discover vast possibility; unlimited opportunity; profuse cultural upheaval. That which we have established this year in the form of tradition, shall linger through the years. Tradition, like metal to a magnet, stubbornly holds fast and steadfastly rebukes separation.

We have laid the stepping stones this year for the years, to come. It is we who have created the pattern ; who have built the foundation for the future development of Southeast High School.

The theme for the 1956 SHIELD is entirely appropriate and depicts the excellent school which it represents. In the short time that Southeast High School has existed, we have, through the use of adept planning, keen insight, and conscientious• perseverance, elevated it from a mere beginning to the exemplary institution that it is today. T~ ondrous achievement will undoubtedly serve as a strong influence to e future students of Southeast and encourage them always to strive ·to a. betterment.

It is this i~ rity on J~ t of ot tudents and faculty that prompted ou ~ of ~ st ~ _ ~ hoo irst yearbook theme-Knighthood .

We, the seniors of Southeast High School, dedicate

- - our yearbook, the 1956 SHIELD, to our principal, Miss · J, LJ

The Senior Class of 1956 has the unique privilege of being the first graduating class from Southeast High School.

Not to be known as slow starters, the seniors soon were taking part in almost everything . It is shown in the records that there were 22 senior girls in Y-Teens,, 7 in Girls' Glee, 16 in Pep Club, and 4 in the position of cheerleaders. The boys were not idle, either, as 2 of them were in Hi-Y, and 11 entered S Club. Combinations of senior boys and girls joined other organizations. There were 3 in Choir, 15 on the publications staff, 2 in Dra-• matic Club, 8 in Band, and 3 were office assistants.

Leading the seniors in their first and last year of Knighthood were the senior class officers who were: Don Nixon, president; Dale Adams,, vice-president; Maudie Henderson, secretary; and Nancy Beall, treasurer Theirs was an important job, as they were entrusted with the duty of presiding over a class that had to set many precedents which classes in years to come might follow.

These seniors are now taking the final steps in preparation for life . They, as Knights, are now waiting in anticipation of the battle before them, the battle of life.

The Southeast Student Council was one of the first organizations formed during the past school year. Officers elected were Zean Carney, president; Sue Turner, vice-president; Rich Garlinghouse, secretary; and Connie Schmidt, treasurer.

Each home room elected one student to represent them on the Student Council. Also, each club that was formed sent a student representative to the Student Council.

After all the representatives had been chosen along with the officers, the Student Council roll consisted of 35 students and two sponsors. The sponsors were Mrs. Pat Roberts and Mr. Rex Mercer.

The first major task the new Student Council faced was the formation of a constitution. A constitution committee was appointed. Members of this committee consisted of the four officers and one student from each grade. The students were Nick Dorsey, Brick Brewer, David Molzahn, Paulette Suder, Janie Howett, and Nancy Mehuron.

Late in November this committee submitted a proposed constitution to the Student Council. This constitution was approved section by section and then sent to the faculty for final approval. The constitution was approved in January.

Many of the representatives served on PTSA or Student Council committees. Representatives on the PTSA committees were Joyce White, Carol Camey, and Bruce Anderson, membership; Jeanette Fitzwater, Nancy Mehuron, and Carolynn Adams, hospitality; Donna Wiles, Janelle Jackson, and Carol Conlan, social; Jack Harvey, Paulette Suder, and Don Nixon, program; and Jim Dill, Connie Schmidt, and Jim Murphy, band.

Members of the permanent Student Council committees were Sue Turner, Carol Conlan, Judy Humann, Bruce Anderson, Paulette Suder , and Don Campbell, program; Jim Dill, Jane Adkisson, Brick Brewer, Nancy Wright, and Dick Whitmus, service; Jim Ebel, Nick Dorsey, Ronnie Crocker, Tom Laging, and Donna Radmore, finance; and Shielah Dunklau , Kenny Tenhulzen, Robert Webb, Neal Higgins, and Janie Howett, promotion.

The Student Council undertook many projects this past year. They were : the sponsoring of buses to athletic contests; CARE packages; all-school picnic; numbering of the auditorium seats; selecting a standard shield; promoting noon hour recreation; and helping clubs raise funds. The Student Council also purchased a popcorn machine and flags for the auditorium.

The Sou th east Junior Red Cross Council was formed by election of representatives from each of the home rooms. Mrs.

On November 9, 1955, the members of the council attended the county wide JRC round-up at Irving Junior High School. Mr. Eldon Mason, a director of JRC for the midwestern area, was the main speaker. After listening to Mr. Mason , the group was divided into discussion groups. A panel, with a member from each of these groups, discussed the topics of the smaller groups with the round-up members.

For the Christmas activity of the council, a movie was held in the auditorium. The proceeds from this

movie admission, which was either a can of food or a nickel, went to a needy family at the Lincoln Air Force Base The council also sponsored a group of acts from t h e " Nite of Knights" show which made trips to the Veterans and Orthopedic Hospitals

During Southeast's first year, the athletic coaches have been faced with a building process. In our opinion they have achieved the gratitude of all and we wish them every success in their future years at Southeast.

Mr. Tom Gillaspie's football team came alive at the end of the season proving that they could win. His reserve basketball squad played very good ball and we'll be looking forward to next year when these boys move up to the varsity ranks

The varsity basketball team was coached by Mr. Rex Mercer. He finished the 55-56 season with a 6-8 record which was very good considering the strong competition. He coached his team to the semi - finals of the District Tournaments, and was also the assistant football coach.

Mr. John Reta built up a fine group of swimmers, who will be very tough in future competition. Mr. Reta's squad was mainly made up of sophomores. He also was assistant coach of the reserve football team .

Gymnastics was accepted by the Southeast students with a great deal of enthusiasm. Mr. Art Hillman entered the team into novice meets only.

Mr Larry Goll took an inexperienced wrestling team and molded it into one that was giving its opposition a battle to the finish by the close of the season.

The reserve football team, coached by Mr . Jim Porter, ended the season in grand style. Mr. Porter also took over the coaching job for the sophomore basketball team .

Intramurals and ninth grade football duties were assigned to Mr. Glenn Fosnot who handled them very sufficiently.

Mr. Roy Churchill and Mr. Charles Gordon were given head coaching jobs for the track and baseball teams respectively. They handled their assignments in exceedingly good fashion .

The golf and tennis coaches were Mr. Paul Austin and Mr. Larry Vaughan respectively.

The big factor which was missing in the first few games for the Knights of Southeast was the extra punch when needed The Kni g hts lost their first four games by shutouts to Fremont , Hastings, Beatrice, and Norfolk, who were strong class A teams.

Southeast played one good half aga inst Seward , but lost 31-12. The Knights ' running game began to produce against Cathedral. Southeast was on top in all statistics except the one thing thai determines victory from defeat, the final score.

With only two games to be played, the Knights traveled to Tecumseh . It was Tecumseh ' s homecoming, cmd the Knights obliged the Indians by winning their first ball game 13 -6 Strong defensive pla y and the acquisition of extra yar ds when needed on offense, gave this long awaited victory to the Knights.

The Knights entered their own royalty game three to four touchdown under-

dogs against Ashland . Those people expecting a sure Ashland triumph were shocked when the final score read 40-0 in favor of a happy, Sout h east eleven.

The members of this year's football team received several honors. Bob Erickson was selected as a member of the Lincoln Star's all-cit y team , and Harland Mook and Dave Myers were given honorable mention. These three boys also received honorable mention on the AllState Team. Jack Harvey was crowned King of Football by the Knightettes. John Koenig, Jeff Cheuvront, Lewis Brown, and Bob Erickson were chosen as attendants. Don Campbell, Lewis Brown, and Harland Mook received the Sertoma Club award

The Southeast Knights didn't enjoy a successful season on paper, but in their hearts they can always be proud of this campaign They displa yed the courage and sportsmanship that won them the admiration of everyone. We salute those who earned the title , Knights of Football.

Southeast's first basketball t eam started slowly but caught fire as the season ended and went down fighting in the semi-finals of the Cla ss A District T o urnament at Plattsmouth.

The Knights opened the season by def eating Wilber 3 9-2 3. After the first game thin gs got a little rougher. Lincoln Northeast, Beatrice, Univ ers ity High , and Lincoln High provided four straight def eats

Th en Southeast played two sensational games. Th ev beat a rated Holdrege five and stayed ahead of Class AA Hastings for three quarters until falling behind and losin~ by five slim points.

The team coasted along by beating Cathedral and Wahoo. Th en Falls City caught the Knights on a shaky night and beat them 58- 2 7. The following week the Knights rallied and went into the last quarter again.st rated Fairbury leading by seven only to lose 51-45

Seward handed another loss to the Knights as tourney time neared. Omaha Westside came to Lincoln confident of a win but had a long ride home suffering from a 52-49 upset. After this game, it was obvious that Southeast would be a trouble maker when the tournaments began.

Th e season closed as the Plattsmouth cagers lost 44- 37 to the scrappy Knights On Monday of the followin~ week, Bellevue 's defense was torn apart as Southeast won their opening game in the tournaments 6 5-5 6. In th e semi-finals the Knights led Falls City at the close of the first canton 16-13 ; but faded rapidly and only memories were left for the Knights to remember as the seasofl came to an .abrupt end.

Southea st's first swimming team finished the year in go od standing despite the fact that they were compelled to practice in the Northeast pool during the beginning of the season Under the direction of Mr John Reta the team rose from a relatively inexperienced group to a team that was a threat to the best of them. Tom Davies and Jim Frank were the co-captains of the team and Larry Mohr was the manager.

Sout heast's wrestling team completed its fi rst year with a 1-6 record Coach Larry Goll ' s squad was green and inexperienced at the beginning, but looked better toward the end of the year. Bruce Hunkins , Winston Zimmerman , Dan Crawford, and Bob Erickson led the team throughout the year

The mat men opened their season at ho:ne with Bellevue. They fell to an unmerciful score of 32-0. They then traveled to Northeast and again were beaten 32-8 Lincoln High wrestlers were the next opponents for the Knights, and handed them another drubbing. · The Fremont Tigers fought to a 31-16 victory Zimmerman , Hunkins , Laging , and Wurtz were high scorers for the Knights. Next, Northeast won a 29-15 bout over an improving Southeast team Lincoln High beat Sou theast for the second time by a score of 31-15 Southeast then journeyed to Fremont , and won its first meet of the year, 28-23, with Shaw, Crawford, Lag in g , and Zimmerman, leading the way The city meet was next, and although Southeast finished third, Bob Erickson won his weight division with Zimmerman , Hunkins , Campbell, Crawford, and Wurtz , taking seconds.
