I am disappointed that there is a lack of insight regarding the strong foundation that has led to bringing the children of our two communities together. That foundation is made up of past accomplishments which will be a model for future generations- a model of our abilities & pride in these two small communities of rural Ne.

Thru the years we enjoyed viewing the trophies & records@both schools &the legacy left for everyone to be proud of.Growing up what child doesn't gaze into the trophy case/record boards &want to be a part of the team to break the record or add another trophy for their school--then work hard towards that goal. Let's retain the past to help build the dreams of the future.

Dr. Tom Osborne recently had them put back up. Why do you suppose he did that? T. O. is a lot smarter than I am but we all know his purpose in doing so. "Restore the order" and the hope and dreams of future atheletes. Keep the inspirational trophy's on display!!!!

I have talked with members of other communities who state that viewing trophies of other teams is important to the visiting team also. EVERYONE likes to remember when. The future is built on the past, you can not have one without the other.

It would be a shame to see the history of our schools disappear. As a young child I was inspired, and reminded of the rich history of our community, along with a sense of pride that came from seeing the accomplishments of parents, upperclassmen, and community leaders. Shouldn't we continue to provide this history to our future school children? As an alum, it would be disappointing to return and see all of this history gone.

I brought part of me & Mark brought part of him, & that history helped us to create a new family. Our 2 schools are like this union, each seperate now merged to become 1. Don't ask us to forget about who we were. But, help us to bring the academic & athletic accomplishments of both schools together,so we can create a school that our kids can be proud to say they were a part of.

Whether one's diploma reads Hildreth High, Wilcox high, or Wilcox-Hildreth High the pride of the past should strengthen the future rather than intimidate it. Please return the awards to their rightful place. The Falcons deserve to see they have expectations to live up to. Make our communities proud again.

]]> Sat, 10 Nov 2007 09:17:18 UTC 2568037 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/2566600?utm_medium=rss There are many things that have happened in this merger between both schools. I have learned from this merger is that we can no longer think of ourselves as separate schools, but their are graduates from both schools that are not part of both school's. In order to keep both alumni and community members interested in preserving our school, the history that alumni can reminisce about, and highlight their past past accomplishments needs to stay. What is the point of history if we can't enjoy it

]]> Sat, 10 Nov 2007 10:31:16 UTC 2566600 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/2563173?utm_medium=rss School pride is very important, and that
is established by celebrating the past.

The communities must become one , just as a team must become one to become successful . Both former schools were in the Fort Kearney Conference and helped each other through their competitive spirit . The accomplishments made , were through the efforts of all the schools working togther in challenging each other to raise their expectations.

Surely, there are greater issues related to the education of the children in the Wilcox-Hildreth School district. Nonetheless, I fail to understand why the successes and accomplishments of the past should be "boxed up" when there are still sudents that could benefit from them.

Achievements that are not only legendary in State, but across the country. Please reinstate ALL momentos, trophies and memorabilia of this great legacy to it's rightful and honorable place within the Hildreth High School.

This diginifies our past and encourages the future. I can see very little harm in it. When we merge churches, we usually do not wipe out any past accomplishements of the churches involved.
Schools surely can benefit from their past.

Why is it necessary to move the trophies? Is it just a sorry power struggle between the two communitites?

]]> Mon, 5 Nov 2007 12:01:46 UTC 2528468 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/2527739?utm_medium=rss As a 1948 graduate of Hildreth High School, I strongly feel the trophies Hildreth earned should be on display the the Hildreth school site. Fora number of years, Hildreth was known as the "Basketball Capital of Nebraska" and my father, Ed Olson,who was superintendent of construction on the 1927 school house, once received a letter simply addressed to " Ed Olson, Govenor of the Basketball Capital of Nebraska".
I can not think of any logical reason for not displaying the Hildreth trophies.
