LLOYD FREDERICK President Firs t Semester

Another group of seniors bid Jackson. Not without a feeling o wever, for our old school has won a very definite place in each of our lives. The long-awaited moment when we receive our diplomas has come all too soon. We are now ready to yield our place to those who follow . us. We are ready to join the ranks of the alumni. As we leave, we vividly recall the experiences which the past few years have brought.

SENIOR HOME ROOM ...

The games, the parties, the plays, the long grind over books, the seventh periods, those breathless moments just before grades were passed out, the ups and downs, the pleasures and annoyances-every experience that school life can offer has been ours. As we say farewell to students and faculty , it is our sincere wish that they may have as much good fortune and happiness as we have enjoyed.

ORGANIZATIONS

,


Membership in the National Honor Society is based upon scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The members are chosen by the faculty from the students who stand in the upper one-third of the senior class. Jackson high school received a charter for membership in the National Honor Society in 1929, and since that time considerable interest has been shown in the organization.

The Quill and Scroll is the international honor society for high school journalists. In order to be eligible for membership, students must be in the upper one-third of the class, be reco:nmended by the journalism instructor as satisfactory in character, and submit to the national judges some journalistic articles printed in the school paper. The local chapter, known as the Bess Streeter Aldrich chapter, obtained its charter in 1934. RUTH A. CROSS Sponsor

JACKSON r,r, HI r,r, LIFE COLUNI

o The passing of the school year , 1937-38 , brings to a close, for the time being at least , several features of this fortnightly rag which were newly launched this year - namely , Who's Who, the Departmental Feature , Les Femmes , and Junior Jots . Features from last year rejuvenated and renamed for this year 's issues , include Have You Heard? , The Dirty Kleat , Pot Shots , Maple Drippings and Column One . o Who's Who was started shortly before the close of the first semester and proved to be one of the most popular of the above-named features . The Departmental Feature covered the various departments of the school. Les Femmes , a second term innovation , was a girls' sports column , edited by Betty Mitchell. Junior high was covered this year in a full length column called Junior Jots . It was written by Shirley Russel the first semester , and by Carolyn Brinkman and Wallace Johnston the second semester.

Cry To Be Different This Year

Trumble and Burr Head Semester Staffs

"Let 's be different! " was the cry of "the various members of the journalism class and some of the students interested in the Hi-Lile . The finer grade of slick paper previously used was changed to a t y p ic a I newspaper grade. In the typography of the paper headlines were set flush to the left. In one issue a very new style of rocket heads was used. The paragraphs started in the middle of the column , and the column rule was omitted , to leave a white margin between columns. In other words, the Hi-Lile was undergoing a slight ca<se of streamlining. The staff adopted a motto which corresponds to the " platform" found in many large dailies and the editorial page was cleared of all advertising , thus making it more like a real newspaper.

John B. Trumble and Jean Burr headed the staff this year. John B. Trumble 's first semester staff was composed of Jean Burr , Alice Jean Miles , Betty Jean Maxwell , Gayle Roper , Ruth Nelson , Betty Mitchell , Shirley Russel, Pollyanna Deeter , Paul Strom , and Bette Bates .

For eleven years the Jackson Hi-Lile has been published bi-monthly by the members of the advanced journalism class . This year the Jackson Hi-Life has broadened its horizons. For the first time in the history of the school , representatives have attended the National Scholastic Press Association convention which was held in Des Moines , Iowa this year. Miss Cross , Jean Burr , second semester editor, and Betty Jeon Maxwell , associate editor , were the representatives at the ninth annual convention held December 2, 3, and 4.

When Coach Merritt Robson issued the call for football candidates on September 1 it was quite evident tha t Jackson would never be able to equal the record set by preceding teams. Coach Robson was faced with a stiff schedule and green men. Eight lettermen were returning, with only three regulars. SEPTEMBER 24 . The Red and White had not dipped their colors for thirtyone combats when they engaged Wymore on Wesleyan field. Jackson emerged a one-point victor, 7-6, stretching the winning string to thirtytwo. OCTOBER 1. The trip to Falls City proved disastrous when "Jug" Brown's Tigers topped the Crimson, 7-6. Bob Anderson, Jackson guard, intercepted a pass and ran fifty yards for Jackson's only touchdown. OCTOBER 8. College View played host to Jackson in a downpour of rain, the Cards sloshing the Purple and Gold, 7-0. "Bugs" Bowmaster tossed a short pass to Ray Rhoades for the touchdown. OCTOBER 23. Although the small Jackson outfit was outweighed by more than ten pounds per man, they had an easy time drubbing Omaha North, 25-0. OCTOBER 27. After holding a 19-0 lead over Bethany at the end of the third quarter, the Jackson defense slipped and the Cardinals squeezed through with a 19-13 victory. The cocaptains, ··Bugs" Bowmaster and Bill Ruyle, were the sparkplugs of this game. NOVEMBER 5. Jackson, one of the outstanding teams in eastern Ne-braska, met Gothenberg, one of the best teams in the western part of the state. The "Crimson Tide" rolled through this "East-West" game with a 21-0 win. Gothenberg's field was the


5ootball first sod-covered rectangle, laying east and west, on which Jackson had ever played. NOVEMBER 11. Crete was turne:i back, 26-0. Coach Robson put his entire squad into action for the game. Jackson seems to play the best game of the season on Homecoming Day and the old Grads have seen them win every homecoming game for the past five years. NOVEMBER 19. After holding the flashy Cardinals scoreless for three quarters, the Jeffs of Fairbury came through in the last four minutes to tally twice, winning, 13-0. NOVEMBER 25. Defending their G. L. L. title, the Crimson eleven engaged in a battle with the Havelock Engineers on Thanksgiving Day. The game was a battle royal but the fighting Jacksonites relinquished their title by a 14-12 score. With the final quarter half way gone, the Crimson Tide drove to Havelock's twenty yard stripe. A fumble gave the Engineers the ball and they punted out of danger. The Cards again started a drive for their opponents' goal, but the timekeepers' gun stopped the Jackson eleven on Havelock's thirteen yard line. "Bugs" Bowmaster played the most outstanding game of his football career. Major "Biff" Jones, head coach at the University of Nebraska, was the guest speaker at the football banquet which brought the curtain down on the 1937 football season. Grace Ferris was announced Honorary Captain, after which short talks were given by Mr. 0. D. Trombla, Gregg McBride and Mr. Leger. The program ended with a talk by Mr. Robson who awarded letters to members of the first team.

DECEMBER 6. Coach Merritt Robson checked out basketball material to fourteen men. The returning lettermen were Ray Rhoades, "Bugs" Bowmaster, Bill Ruyle, and 'Jim Owen.

Waldo Winter set the pace as the .Alums fell before the Crimson Tide of Jackson, 25-15. DECEMBER 17. Jackson and College View met the following week in their initial league contest.

FEBRUARY 4. The Cards experienced some difficulty with the Beatrice zone defense when they fell by a score of 22-19. FEBRUARY 5. The J men again clipped College View 's w ings by nosing them out, 20-15. FEBRUARY 11. It was the Falls City Tigers that overcame a ten point margin in the fourth quarter to defeat Jackson, 14-15.


JAMES OWEN "Sleepy" Junior-Guard

BETTY MITCHELL "Mitch" Bas ketball Queen

FEBRUARY 12. Experience proved valuable as the Tide lowered Bethany, 24-20. FEBRUARY 17. Lincoln High lost its fifth straight game to Jackson as they slipped 16-12. FEBRUARY 18. Jackson again exhibited its supremacy and beat Havelock 29-13. FEBRUARY 25. Revenge was sweet as Omaha South, who had eliminated Jackson from the state contest the preceding year, bowed to the Cards 25-17. The Red and White was forced to take the runner-up trophy in the regional tourney as Lincoln High proved victorious, 18-15. In the state contest Jackson lost to Wahoo, 27-22. Thus the 1937-38 basketball season came to a close. It was celebrated by a jamboree in the gym. One hundred and fi fty faithful followers attended. After the meal Betty Mitchell, basketball queen, and her four attendants, Gene Cotton, Betsy Wright, Mary Louise Blish, and Peggy Lemon, were presented by members of the team. Awarding of letters by Coach Robson and a dance completed the program.
