For some this spirit will linger only in memories ... for others it is only the beginning the beginning of man y new , enjo y able experiences.

Those who will lea v e this 1year will remember , as others ha v e before them , its v igorous pep rallies , its convocations exhibiting student and guest talent and challenges in sports, ·musi c, drama and journalism.

Seniors fa~

Finall y feeling as if they're really getting into the swing of things , the senior class of 1951 has to say " so lon g " They will have to leave the traditions of Northeast , to be carried on by the underclassmen.

Way back when they were sevent h grader s , the time was spent in wonderment at the newness of the situation, and in making friends with whom the y have spent the remainder of thei r time at Northeast.

When in the eighth gra de they had begun to settle down to life at Northeast. Reserve game s and Civic League trip s were just some of the highli g hts of that y ea r.

Then came the ninth gra de----and gra duation, at last they were members of senior high.

the future

But as sophomores they found that senior high wasn't all fun-they had to study a little harder and their assembly seats downstairs weren't much better than the ones they ' d had in the balcony.

As juniors one of the happiest momen ts was plannnig and attending the junior-senior banquet.

Now as sen i ors , they find that thi s year brin g s senior sneak day , senior assembly , baccalaureate and graduation-the goal they had worked for and finally reached.

Regretfully they leave behind friends and the happy times at Nort hea st , bu t ea g erl y await the experiences y et before them.

The leadership class of Northeast high well lives up to its name. Its members are leaders of the various groups and organizations of the school including each homeroom and several classes, such as art and instrumental music With a representative from each of 1hese the class can discuss the problems which come up concerning the school and the students .

Safeguardin

This y ear the lea d ership class did many u s eful things for both Northeast and the community. It helped with many pro jects of the Junior Red Cross, planned the basketball alumni dance, helped make Hub club a s uccess and had various activitie s in which the students could participate during the noon hour. The noon hour mo v ies especially were improved over those of past years.

Walking up the stairs to a cabinet meeting are second semester leadership officers , Colleen Turner, treasurer; Dick Prather , secretary; Paul Fre dstrom , president , and Janet Owens, vice president.

freedom

Northeast did someth ing new this year to promote good sportsmanship and a friendly feeling with other schools . An exchange talent a ssembl y with Fremont was held which prcve d ver y successful and the class hopes to continue suc h programs in - the future with other schools.

Also this year's leadership classes created a

new activity, the Rocket Revue, which was held April 20. It was based on the Rocket Spotlight but performed in the evening for the public.

With all these activities one can see that the class had much work to do and has contributed greatly to the progress of our school.

P lanning for their editions of the Northeaste rn are beginning journalists, Alma Womack, se cond semester editor ; Carolyn Lawritscn, first semester associate editor; Liz P earce, second semester associate e d itor , and Allan Holbert , first semester editor

Tontorrofl!~s press

Real interest in writing and the will to work hard are required of a beginning journalism student. However, the results of the labors of these ambitious cubs were shown in various ways this year.

O f real value an d intere s t to a s pmng writers was the NHSPA convention hel d in Lincoln at the University of Nebraska first semester. Highlighting the second semester was the publication of two issues of the Northeastern, completely handled by the beginners with the valuable assistance of adviser, Mrs Catherine Killeen.

The activity of the N club is the annual N clubPep club picnic in which the boys provide cokes and transportation for the " picnic goers." Officers of this organization are a president , vice president and secretary which are elected b y the boys each semester.

Coaches Ed Johnson and Bun Galloway sponsor- the N club.

Penguins perforlll

Swimming ... that's what the members of the Penguin. club call their favorite sport.

The club is made up of 30 girls from junior and senior high who have passed their requirements for membership in try-outs held b y the club

The big event of the year for the Penguin club was the annual pageant with a special number for every holiday. A lot of work was pu t into the acts by the members who planned and directed their own numbers

Under the guidance of Mrs. Evelyn Lavat y first semester, and Mrs . Joyce Kreuger second semester the Penguins successfull y completed the year.

Making plans fo r the " Pen guin Ho lidays" are second se mester officer s, Dorothy Converse , pre sid ent ; Joyce Bare , secretary; Saro Whitlock , vice president , and foan Mar sh all , treasurer .

This year a new regulat io :i making the qualifications for invitation much higher was initiated. To become a member, a person must have had at least one semester in s ome form of speech class besides showing outst anding work in school s peech activities. T wo excellent plays , the mid-winter initiation banquet , a r ecord membership and many success ful contact s with school s all over the sta e h av e made this year one of Masque and Gavel's mos t succes s ful at North e ast.

••Thirteenth Chair''

The Northeast dramatic season opened with a spine-tingling mystery. "The Thirteenth Chair" contained all the ingredients for :1 smash success , romance, mystery, murder and magic, alcng with a well chosen cast and crew.

For seven long weeks Mrs Elizabeth Reeder and her assistant Mrs. Carolyn Smith directed wealthy gentlemen , dowagers, dashing young men, murderers, policemen and a spiritualistic medium.

Dividends were paid late in October when , under layers of paint and with teeth chattering the actors went on stage to thrill audiences with "'The Thirteenth Chair."

Closing the season, " Best Foot Forward" wc2, crammed with youthful audience appeal. The second Masque and Gavel sponsored production was well received Six weeks of toil in rehearsal finally resulted in a well-polished show that the cast of twenty and the director , Mrs Elizabeth Reeder could justly be proud of. Backstage laurels go to the all-important stage crew.

Two changes in the club constitution wern made this year. The first involved the mdhod for fillir.g vacancies in the club Now the next gi rl on the list kept by the sponsors is automaticall y a member . Girls who are in ba nd during the marching season can now belong to the club also Before the change, no girl could be in both organizations

The football banquet and Turnabout dance, the two highlights of the school year which are sponsored by the club, proved to be big successes along with the annual N club-Pep club picnic.

Attending out of town trips, selling concessions at games, dodging demerits and always y elling themselves hoarse are just a few of the many memories of the 1950-1951 Rockettes.

\Vorld-wide Y-Teens

One of the many interesting activities of the Y-Teens t hi s y ear was the sponsoring of the st y le show b y Hovland-Swanson at which the styles were modeled by members of Y-Teens There were parties and a movie , " Carolina Bl u es, " sponsored by the club. The annua i Snowball dance was held at the YWCA , Jan -

During the fall, the band played and marched for all four home football games in spite of the rain and traveled to Creighton Prep to play for the last game of the football season. The band attended two band days this year, one at Nebraska university and the other at Nebra s ka Wesleyan univ e r s ity where the y d emonstrated some formations the y were working on

The winter activities of the band con s isted of pla ying at all the pep rallies , all the home basketball game s and the state tournamen t.

Also the band played at a vesper concert which was given at school in January. During the spring , hard work was put into the concerts. The band traveled , sixty strong , to Columbus for the Mid-East Musical Festiva l where they gave a concert , as well as participating in a mass band , ensembles and solo numbers . The band season came to a triumphant close with the annual spring concert in May

T hi s year the band added spark to their uniforms by wearing black and white saddl e shoes . They purchased new plumes and had repairs made on all the school -owned instruments as well as buying new pep tunes and concert music Next year the band is planning to work even harder to improve the uniforms.

Mr. David Fowler , new to Northeast , has done

Whitla

a splendid job in building up the band and other musical group s His many ideas have put spark int o all the pep rallys, football game s , basketball games and concerts. The band is looking forward to a still bigger and better band next year under the direction oi Mr. Fo wler.

Musi~ • IS their motto

Something new! This year the orchestra consisted of only string instruments first seme s ter - second semester the brass instruments and woodwinds were added The result - good music , produced by forty-five musicians under the direction of David F owler . The orchestra had a busy schedule this year which began with a concert at open house

Musical interludes between acts were furnished at both school plays by this group A vesper concert was next on the agenda, followed by a trip to Columbus for the Mid-East fe s tival , another vesper concert with Lincoln high, the operetta , and May Fete. The orchestra made its last appearance for the school year at the senior graduation exercises.

To the Journal and back is a well worn path made by the Northeas te rn staff as they put out the dear old paper, that you read with gladness, and is put out with madness .

Starting in beginning journalism there were 14 inspired young cubs and how they struggled through it they'll never know, but the main thing is, they did .

Then came the second year-meeting deadlines, covering stories, making dummy pages , reading proofs-yes, it may seem easy but just try it sometime .

It's been fun though, and it's a practical and exciting experience the staff will never forget.

Northeast's music groups, girls' glee, mixed chorus, choir and girls small group are directed by Mrs. Velma Snook. At one time these groups, along with the orchestra and junior high music classes, combine to give a Chri s tma s program. At other times they perform in s eparate groups.

Girls glee consists of ninth grade and senior high girls. They sing for many assemblies

·•With as

and when the y become juniors and seniors many are advanced into the choir.

The ninth and tenth grade mixed chorus is a new organization started in 1950. Since then they have taken part in many assemblies and programs. Much interest has grown up in this new group. It serves as a preparation for the choir and the music they produce is indicative of an excellent choir in future years. Northeast's choir is an important part of school

in their hearts ~~

life for its near eighty members. These are the students who have successfully passed their voice tests or worked up from girls ' glee and mixed chorus. The choir this year san g for the Nebraska state legislature , church groups, and gave many other programs The hours of practice devoted to the annual oper~ etta, which this year was " Robin Hood , " certainl y paid off, for it proved to be very sue-

cessful although it was considered one of the most difficult ever produced here

Last but not least i s the Northeast girls' small group; made up of nine girls Taking part in the operetta " Robin Hood, " singing for assemblies , entertaining for club luncheons and banquets are all part of the triple trio's sc hedule .

This YMCA affiliated club is not a new organization in Nort h east h igh school, for it has been a cti ve s ince t h e ex i stence of the school. It is a club which is open to all senior boys and offers an excellent opportunity for boys to partic i pa t e in worthwhile activities.

Farmers of the future

Whenever there is any talk around Northeas t concerning a truly progressive organization, you can bet they're talking about FFA. These boys do not merely study agriculture ; they really put their learning into practice through their various projects.

This year the boys visited members' homes to examine and take picture s of their projects. In November a turkey feed was held. The district FFA convention was February 3, and

in the following spring their annual picnic took place. However, one of their main achievements was the purchase of a new tractor. FF A boys earned money for the tractor by picking corn, selling seeds and selling concessions at games.

The long-range farming program is something new also. Each member planned his future in agriculture to include 16 years.

Season~ su~~essful

Nebraska's class A football title went to the Rockets of Northeast as Coaches Bun Galloway and assistant Max Hester directed their charges through the school's first undefeated season A string of nine seasonal wins etched out a consecutive victory record of l'i' games

City and Mid-East conference championships were other major achievements of the 1950 squad. The amazing post-season totals showed 337 points for Northeast as compared to 31 for nine opponents.

Starting in late August with eight lettermen, the team drilled for two weeks Beatrice fell 20-0 as the avenging Rockets rolled awa y the curtains for the grid year.

Columbus ' Discoverers were swamped as the Rocketmen roared over the first foreign soil. The scor eboard read 57- 7 at the finis h of the contest in which eight boys hit the scoring column for the Black and White .

Picked by sports writers as a good club to upset the Northeas t gridders was Fremo nt. However, the Tigers fell easy prey to th e Rocket onslaught and the score stood 25-0 in the end .

Northeast now engaged the crosstown rival, Lincoln High, in th e latter's stadium After engineering a 12-0 halftime lead the Rocket s scampered to another pair of tallies in the remaining periods to win the city crown, 25-0 . Featured in the rout were a 75 yard pas s interception return and a 22 yard jaunt by a guard following a forward and lateral pass, both of which scored

Hastings was dropped 20-6 by the Rockets in a decisive Mid-Eas t bout. This homecoming was the fifth game that Northeast ha d played on wet ground

The York Dukes were crushed under the Rocket wheels , 55-6 . Mid-East title hopes were at stake as Northeast met Fa irbury there . The conference champs came home riding a 45-6 win.

Two Omaha squads provided the last bits of competition for Northeast. Benson was defeated 52-0 as eight men tallied again . Th e state honors were clinched as the Rocket machine stamped ou t Creighton Prep, 38-6, on hard grass - free turf. Creighton had previously been rated third best in Nebraska.

Team of tomorro"7

The j unior Rockets checked in their equipment last Novembe r follo w ing another successful sea s on. Coac h Ed Johnso n an d h is new assi s tant Sam Letheb y developed a squad w hi c h ra n s ix sta r ts into four wins Th e squad ' s main g o al w as to obt ain va l uable e x perience whic h will be of use in th e n ex t fe w y e ars to the Rocket varsit y.

C oac h es Johnson and Le theby had their w o r k cut out for them a t t he season ' s start. An almost entirel y " green " crew , some o f w hom had wor k ed w ith Coac h Tep ley ' s th ird sq u ad h ad e nlisted . With the cooperat ion o f all members , ho w ever , m u c h good first-team material was developed for next fall ' s g rid ca ll.

Northeast's reserves met six s ch oo l s dur ing the "y ear Th e y re gistered w in s over Fr i end , 3 2-0; Seward " B," 18 - 0 ; Beatr ic e " B," 206, and W averl y 26 - 6. Tw o teams defeated the reserve m e n, Nebra s ka Cit y " B," 20 - 19 , and Fremont " B," 13 - 7

Northeast's 1951 cagemen shot , passed and dr ibbled their way through a season bolstered with 14 wins and a Mid-East trophy but scarred with 4 losses. Although not as impressi ve as in the preceding two years, the Rockets checked in what may be classified as a very successful term.

Coach Ed Johnson's char g es , given a chance to thrice-repeat as state champions, found the path a little too rocky as they fell in the opening round of state play before Omaha Tech, 51-38. Thus ended the Rocket regime for '51. Totals showed that Northeast scored 755 points in 18 games as compared with their opponents 552.

Leaping into a heavy schedule, the Black and White hoopsters rambled past Scottsbluff and almost met their kismet in an overtime clash with North Platte won by the Rockets, 43-41. Omaha North spoiled the record as they scraped past the Northeast congregation.

Find ing their feet again, the Rockets swept over Columbus, Fremont's champs-to-be , Norfolk, Hastings, Beatrice, Creighton Prep and outlasted Falls City in a close one, 28-25

Lincoln Central, planning to spoil Northeast's city title hopes, were surprised to the tune of 40 to 31. A fourth Lincoln city crown rested upon the Rockets' heads.

Grand Island jinxed the Rocket cagers for the second time in what might be called a frigid evening for the Lincolnites. Once more Northeast changed pace and cruised past York, Fairbury and Boys Town The Mid-East championship was theirs.

In the district tourney at Fairbury, Northeast began slo w ly and eked out a sudden-death overtime victory in a thrilling game with Falls City The Links from across the city handed the Rockets their third loss and, in doing so, stole the regional title.

Coach Johnson's Rockets were rated in the state's top five during the entire season Their season must be recognized as being one of the best in the school's history.

Max Rezek guided his reserves through a tough 14 game schedule , winning 12 of them . As the season wore on the team gained exper ience. They hit their peak in downing Beatrice and Fremont by the scores of 40-2 8 :md 39-34 respectivel y. The reserves lost only to Lincoln high and Hastings B by scores of 41-48 and 26-31. These games have g i ven the boys a lot of valuable experience that some of the boys will have use for in future y ears Coach Ed Johnson should receive some very fine material next year for the varsit y squad.

Le ad ing a y ell at a j unior high pep ra lly are reserve ba sk e t ball cheerleaders, Barba ra Wood , Ka y Fur m a n a n d Ruthe Rosenquist.
