The RED and WHITE DRAMATICS .... HIS has been an exceptionally successful year for the Dramatics group, due to the imlimited interest shown by a large group of the student body. The 1933 Little Ten Dramatics contest was held at Bratton Union, November 4. Marie Kotouc represent- ed Humboldt in extemporaneous speaking and won first place, talking for ten minutes on the kidnapping prob- lem. Loren Biggs won first place with his oratorical reading If We Break Faith. Mercides, a dramatic reading, was given by Virginia Ann Porr with which she won second place. Mildred Nemechek was awarded third place on her humorous reading entitled Goodbye, Sis- ter. Humboldt won first in this contest. No trophy was awarded, however, due to financial conditions. DEBATE .... The question for debate, Resolved that the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of radio control and operation, has been one of unusual interest. Extensive reading and discussion of the question has been carried on by the class during the year. A debate between members of the class was held at the home of Jean Cornelius. The second team, Roberta Mowry, Elsie Harbour, and Wildon Sterner, met the Sa- betha high school team and won a two to one decision. Later, Marie Kotouc and Loren Biggs, our first team, met Sabetha debaters in practice debates. The second team met the Lincoln high school team in a no-decision round before an audience of Humboldt students. In January, the class participated in a practice tournament SCHOLARSHIP GROUP .... EVEN years ago Superintendent Weber originated the idea of giving a small emblem each semester to all students who earned a grade of ninety or above in each of four academic subjects and citizenship. The plan proved successful from the start. Later the idea was evolved of adding one stripe for each semester in which the student earned an emblem. Now if you se-e a stu- dent wearing an emblem with five white stripes it in- dicates that that student has met the foregoing require- ments for five different semesters. The following stu- dents have ealrned one or more emblems: Fred- NORMAL TRAINING .... WENTY Junior and Senior girls have taken the work outlined for the Normal Training course. Eva Mae Ast, Elizabeth Beutler, Eunice Halm, Bernice Kaiser, Berneita Jack, Mildred Parli, Virginia Ann Porr and Charlotte Seely have completed the requirements of the two year program. The high school Normal Training de- partment aims to prepare our students for efficient teach- ing ln rural schools by careful study of school problems and classroom methods. Forty observations were made of classroom methods STUDENT COUNCIL .... HE Student Council is composed of two representa- tives from each class and is a form of self-govern- ment. The Council discusses suggestions of the students and either rejects them or submits them for faculty ap- proval. Page Sixteen The M-I-N-K Dramatics contest was held March 26 at Peru. Virginia Ann Porr and Loren Biggs were award- ed Good on their dramatic and oratorical reading re- spectively, thus helping to win the sweepstakes trophy for Humboldt. The one-act play Clean Linen of which mention has been made is also a part of this department. All the dramatics events were coached by the sponsor, Miss Campbell. Dramatics letters were awarded to the follow- ing: Virginia Ann Porr, Bernice Kaiser, Mildred Neme- chek, Loren Biggs, Ralph Reid, James Herdlitfchka, Bob Weber, Bob Howe, Thelma Bahl, Marie Kotouc, and Eunice Halm. at Beatrice, meeting the following teams: Marysville, Beatrice, Geneva, Auburn and Tecumseh. No decisions were given for these debates, but local judges gave help- ful criticism of arguments and delivery. On Tuesday, March 13, Marie and Loren debated Beatrice and Lincoln high schools. The District Tournament was held at Au- burn, March 17. Towns in the district are Auburn, Ne- braska City, Humboldt, Syracuse and Tecumseh. In the fisrt round, Humboldt gained a two to one decision from Syracuseg Auburn defeated Humboldt by a similar de- cision in the semi-finals. Auburn defeated Nebraska City in the finals and thereby gained the district champion- ship for the year 1933-34. erick Eis, Marie Kotouc, Elizabeth Beutler, Betty Clark, Jean Cornelius, Wildon Sterner, Loren Biggs, Mildred Nemechek, Richard McGinnis, Jane Kehoe, Ruth Sutor- ius, Thomas Dean, Roberta.

Practice teach- ing in the grades was carried on by each Senior Normal Trainer for twelve days in at least two twenty-minute periods. One week observation and teaching was made in rural schools. A thorough review of all elementary sub- jects in twelve and six weeks courses has prepared these students for efficient teaching. Elizabeth Beutler, Vir- ginia Ann Porr, Bernice Kaiser and Berneita Jack have schools for the coming year in Districts 89, 87, 41, and 22 respectively. In the spring the Council is .planning to sponsor an inter-class tennis tournament as well as single and double tournaments for both girls and boys.

Club work aims to in- clude each girl in its activities in programs and acting as hostesses at the regular meetings. Our purpose is to Find and Give the Best and to build for Christian womanhood. --mw---- Pep Squaol . . . OR many years thc Pep Squad organization has been pre-eminent among active Humboldt high school groups. This year, we are proud to say, it has been un- usually active. One reason for this is probably the ex- ceptional interest of the members, and another, the ex- tremely good basketball and football teams. This 1933-34 Pep Squad was organized early last September by the Junior and Senior girls, with Miss Arnup as sponsor. The following officers were elected: Bernice Kaiser, president: Thelma Bahl, vice-presidentg Eunice Halm, treasurer. Candy, gum, apples, and sand- wlches were sold at fcotball games, and enough was German Club . . . OR several years there has been no demand on the part of the Humboldt students for French and very little demand for third year Latin-not enough to justify the organization of a class. As an experiment, German was offered this year. Twenty-six enrolled for work the first semester but during the second semester the enrollment has not been so high. Early in the year a German club was organized with John Sutorius as president. Due to Page Eighteen netted to give a theatre party and lunch for the football boys and to pay for the Pep Squad picture in the annual. This year, instead of one cheer leader, as previously, there are two-Betty Clark and Bernice Kaiser. At every home basketball game, seats were marked off for the Pep Squad and the Pep Band in order that the cheer leaders might lead the squad more efficiently and effectively. The Pep Squad is an organization formed solely to urge the participants of sports on to the highest victory possible. It is school spirit and loyalty personified. the rush of other activities only one meeting was held the first semester. German songs were sung, several easy stories were read and free German conversation was en- couraged. At the close of the meeting typical German re- freshments were served. If the interest continues as good as it has been, German will be offered next year. Super- intendent Weber is the teacher of the subject and acted as sponsor of the club.
