Auditorium-Gymnasium The friends of the College, as well as the students and faculty, will rejoice to know that the executive committee at their monthly meeting on May 10th, voted to give the contract for the gymnasium-auditorium to the Goehring and Sothman Co. This company has assured us that they will begin construction at once, and one of the big events of the commencement season will be the laying of the corner stone of this building. We hope that the construction of this building will be far enough advanced that we may plan to dedicate it dur- ing the Young People's Assembly which will be held here August 9-17. This is all most encouraging to the student body. Since May 1923, when the gymnasium was destroyed, the students have been handicapped for lack of room, both for auditorium purposes and for their gymnastic work. We expect a great revival in such affairs during 1926-27 as well as in athletic events, now that the students are assured of a place in which to hold these events. The fact that the gymnasium will be completed by next fall, will lead the college authorities to employ a full-time coach, who will also teach some subject in the college departments. Previously, the college employed one man to coach football and another for basket ball, while for coaches for track or tennis the athletes have been dependent upon members of the faculty. The inside dimensions of the main floor are 50 ft. by 86 ft. The plat- form is 15x45 ft.g toward the rear will be a cement tier of seats. Under these are the lockers and shower rooms, one for the boys and one for the girls. These rooms will be 19x38 ft. The building will be finished above so that the acoustic properties will be satisfactory. From the floor up about 10 feet, the room will be finished in soft gray glazed brick. The building is 88 feet in depth and the front 120 feet. Two rooms will open into the main auditorium. One will serve as a kitchen, so that all of our special dinners and banquets may be served in this building. The other will be a room for the director of physical educa- tion. In this room will be kept the trophies won by Grand Island College. A number of these trophies have been lost owing to the fact that we have not had a place in which to keep them.

Senior Class In September 1922, the class of '26 began its activities. A few days after school began a party was held at Lincoln Park. At this affair a chapel stunt was planned and the next day, arrayed in the green caps which the upper classmen insisted we wear, l ut which they had erroneous- ly sold to us below cost, we informed the student ltody that Those Sophomores, those Sophomores, They think they're so sweetg Their heads have outgrown them And so have their feet. The night before Scrap Day was filled with activity. In a lumber wagon, drawn by a Ford, a number of the class explored the town. After this had been satisfactorily accomplished they returned to the campus and did some interior and exterior decorating. The class flag-pole was given a lovely coat of grease, classroom walls bore new designsg upon the side- walk was painted The Snobby Sophs of '22, which the incessant tramp of hurrying feet has not yet entirely effaced. The following day the Sophomores met their Waterloo and as losexfn were obliged to furnish the supper.. '26 had a float in the annual city paradeg put out an issue of The Volanteg and in the spring won the interclass track meet. The following fall we did not permit '27 to be first to put on a chapel stunt. We gave them a hard fight Scrap Day. The Sophomores' class flag was made of iron so the Freshies could not shoot it down and only superi- ority in numbers made them the victors. The first social event of that year was a steak fry at Koehler's Lake. A little later Prof. and Mrs. Meserve entertained at a Hard Time party. The invitations extended a welcome to bums, tramps, hicks, nuts and out- casts, and motley was the crowd which gathered. They were not too aban- doned, however, to appreciate the entertaining program of the evening. Again '26 won the interclass track meet. By our Junior year the class was much smaller. Many quit school to teach and do other work. Prof. and Mrs. Meserve again entertained at a lovely Valentine party. On Campus Day the Juniors played hookey and sneaked off for an early morning breakfast at the Central Power plant. For the third time we won the interclass meet and became permanent possessors of the Carey-Nietfeld trophy cup. Two of the boys, Wayland Rice and Fred Lape, won the state tennis championship in doubles. They were awarded the beautiful loving cup which may Ice seen in the liLrary at G. I. C. The fall of '25 saw a mere half dozen of the Freshies of '22 back in school. But from the four winds came Seniors to swell our ranks, until we numbered seventeen. Our loyal sponsors treated us to a watermelon feed while warm weather was still making school days irksome. Later, we had a Soldiers Home theatre party, followed by an oyster stew. In December, we were delightfully entertained by two of our new members, Mrs. Bernstein and Miss Bodmer, at a Christmas party. We are nearing the college students' goal and will soon leave these scenes behindg but throughout our lives they wifl return. Class of 1925 ORVAL AUHL Grand Island German Club5 G. I.

I-2-3. junior Class Even the greatest enterprises have humble beginnings, and the mem- bers of the class of '27 are not ashamed of the fact that they began their college career as Freshmen. It was with determination to prove our right to distinction other than that of being the largest class in the history of G. I. C., that we entered upon the activities of college life, and the measure of our success may be judged by the following accomplishments during our Freshman year. In religious organizations, Esther Rice was elected president of the Y. W. C. A., Charles Gurney, president of the Y. M. C. A., and Gust Carlson president of the Life Service League. On athletic teams the class had four men in football, three in basketball, and five in track. Robert McWilliams and Paul Newell were members of the debating team. As a matter of course we triumphed over the Sophs in the annual flag-rush classic. Last but not least, we survived the ordeal of final exams and re- turned to the college in 1924 to assume the proud title of Sophomores with all the rights and privileges appertaining thereto. Among those we con- sidered as pre-eminent, that of fitting out the Freshmen with appropri- ately colored headgear as well as with appropriate ideas of the deference and respect due upper classmen. Our efforts in this direction we1'e scarcely successful, but it cannot be said that they were barren of results. The climax was reached when the Freshmen abducted our president, Marlin Christensen, and added in- sult to injury by hoisting colors upon the Administration building. What else could we do but rise up in our wrath and' substitute ou1' pcnnon for theirs, and avenge the capture of our leader by hauling three Freshmen some eight or nine miles out into the great open spaces It was only after the official class scrap, in which we staunchly main- tained the tradition which has always granted victory to the Freshmen, that we were able to devote our energies to other and more important fields of endeavor. To mention a few of the activities of the class for the year, Eldon Smith was the very efficient editor of The Volante, Louis Holmes, Charlie and Earl Foster made names for themselves on the football field, Frances Shattuck won fourth place in the State oratorical contest, Paul Newell did veteran work in debate, Cleora Vaughn was elected editor of The Volante for 1925. This year with ranks thinned, but with undiminished zeal, we have taken up the Junior's burdens, but following the example of our president, William McGrath, who finds relief from the cares of his office by the gentle diversion of football, we have alternated work and play so that the gradual increase of responsibilities has not been odious nor exclusive of much that has been pleasant. Our loyal sponsor, the Dean, is always ready to assist in any enter- prise which the class may undertake, and his help is as effective as his hospitality is enjoyable. We look forward to a successful senior year, which we hope will be valuable in preparation for the kind of life worthy of a G. I. C. student.

I am sure you could find no more loyalty or co-operation in any class. When our class started out it was unusually large in number. A large percentage of its membership was made up of Grand Island boys and girls. This is especial- ly significant as it showed the increasing interest in Grand Island College. Our first president was Earl Hayter, and a very good one he was. We began the year well by defeating the Sophomores on class day. How could such a start help but make us successful. I believe it is safe to say that no Sophomore party has been a failure. Every Sophomore feels responsi- ble for every one's having a good time. As Freshmen we had numerous hikes and parties of every description. This year our class is somewhat smaller, as is so often the case. We began the year badly by letting the Freshmen class defeat us on class day, but we have remedied the start by our many successful activities. The Sophomores are well represented in both literary societies. By only a casual observation I should say that more were Amphictyons than Athenians but of course we didn't allow that to enter into our good fellowship. Earl Hayter, one of our members has been president of the Amphictyon society during the last year. In debate the Sophomores have been very capably represented by Ruth Bryan and Earl Hayter. This year we have had many enjoyable social times. The argument might be that too many activities detract from class work, but our parties have helped us to become better acquainted and to form better friendships. Our first party was a hike which took place after class day. About the middle of the first semester we were invited to a re- ception at the home of President Wells. A little later we were invited to the Tilley home north of the city. It was planned as a Wiener roast, but it turned out to be a very chilly evening, so it was a house party in spite of knickers and laments. Sometime during February there was a Fresh- man-Sophomore party held in the Liederkranz Annex. We presumed that it was a Valentine party. Everyone was most enthusiastic about the good time that they had. As everyone knows, the college built a new barn this year. Not so very long ago our class decided to initiate it with a little party. With the permission of the date committee we had a theatre party and afterwards a good time in the loft of the barn. We hope our class will go through the next two years of college with as much enthusiasm and good-will as they have so far shown. We have made mistakes, as well as other classes, but we have also accomplished many things. We are ready to serve our college and show our loyalty to it. , ..l1 1 f , Mk f f f vnlumm FHESHNHN Willard Anderson Hilda Bartunick Robert Brown Estellyn Cain Edward Caredis Arthur Caress Elizabeth Clarke Verle Cunningham Gertrude Denman Harold Eisele Lorraine Garner Marion Graham Etta Hanna Dorothy Harry Mansel Heusner Elaine Hilbert Lyllia Hohman Arnold Johanson Elyzabeth Kauffman ' Henry Kleinkauf Glennys Knox Henry Kokrda Clara Lassen Esther Leech Pauline McBride Mary McCune Guy McCutcheon Esther McGrath f UV I-1' IA. 1 4 .4 - A L Susie McGrath Bessie McKnight Sylvia Mashek Otho Means Flora Miller I, Kathleen Neal lafffl' ,ff -'L' f I Paul Nitzel Vernal Norine Marcia Omey Wilella Payne Oscar Pearson Edward Phelan Aline Plank Bernice Putman Florence Reese Lloyd Richards Julia Ritzhaupt Selma Rogers Harold Rose Margaret Rouse Blanche Rousek Myron Rumery Elmer Scheel Frederick Schleuter James Simpson Marie Simpson Donald Starr Donna Swift Ervin Terry Wilma Thaler Louise Ulry Claris Walters LeRoy Watson Chester Windolph Genevieve Wright Eleanor Woelz C9 I, Neita Wolcott b .

Before setting out upon its brilliant career the class elected Lloyd Richards, president, Irwin Doane, vice-president, Marion Graham, secre- tary-treasurerg and Prof. Knox, class sponsor. With this formidable array of leadership it has conquered all fields of college activity at all accessible to Freshmen. We were Well represented in football and produced such stars as Paul Morris, Merrill Youell, Frank Tracy, Irwin Doane, Paul Nitzel, Edward Rich, Andy Weiland, and Brick Ray. Eight Freshmen received football letters. In basketball one of our class, Paul Morris, acted as captain and Arnold Johanson, another Freshman, is captain-elect for next year. Four others, Vernal Norine, Mansel Heusner, Henry Kleinkauf, and Roy Root, made their letters in this branch of athletics. In Forensics the Freshmen were no loss successful and placed three men, Edward Caredis, Harold Eisele, and Lloyd Richards, on the debating squad. Chester Windolph represented the college in the state oratorical contest. Our superiority in both mental ands physical efficiency proved a despair to all hapless Sophs who endeavored to match themselves against us. At the beginning of the term we found it necessary to demonstrate our prowess in the form of a class scrap which we won with considerable case. The Sophs were then privileged to put up the treats as a forfeit and they gave us a most enjoyable Wiener roast. Although we delight in our achievements our only aim has been to be worthy of the commendation of our school. Autographs BOTH LI ERNEST FRANK Coach of the Zebras-1925 t'Ernie is a Nebraska product. The fact that hc knows the game is 1'e- cognized by those who watch his coaching. The season of '25 saw few men back at G. 1. C. who had played col- lege football and yet, somehow, Er- nie trained his new material and turned out fast and clean players, who comprised a team which was to be reckoned with in the State Con- ference. It mattered little whether the boys were losing or winning for they had caught the spirit of football frmm their coach and their interest in the game was awakened by him. The time and attention which 'tErnie has given those who battled for G. I. C. during the season of '25 is greatly appreciated. BEN HITES Captain-1925 Second Year. Weight 165. R. E. Ben, or Papa Hites, was looked up to by the rest of the squad as an ideal football player. His greatest ability lay in receiving passes from the halves and going down upon punts. He tackled as the ball was re- ceived. His return to G. I. C. in the fall is awaited eagerly. CHARLIE FOSTER Third Year. Weight 165. R. H. This is Bixen's third year on the team. He has played hard and steady W-a sure ground gainer and hard hit- ter. We hope Chick will be romp- ing on Cowley's meadow next year for he is a consistent player, an asset to the team. ED SMITH Second Year. Weight 210. R. G. Snotky was one of the hardest fighting guards in the state. His great ability was in stopping line punts and in opening holes for the speedy backs to dash through. We are glad that Snooky has two more years with the Zebras. MERLE HAYNES Second Year. Weight 165. L. H. F. B. Ducky was one of our best half- backs. His educated toe often booted the ball out of danger. When an ex- tra yard was needed, he made it. Spain Haynes promises a few tricks for next season. EARL FOSTER Second Year. Weight 155. Lf E. Foster was one of the most de- pendable ends on the team. His great ability was on the defense. Those long end runs were stopped and the oppon- ents thrown for a loss. A Zebra es- sential to next fall's squad. WILLIAM MCGRATH First Year. Weight 155. Center. Bill was a veteran at the game after a few appearances on the grid- iron. He was in every play and many times he would break through and throw the play for a loss. Bill has one more year. We are looking for- ward with eagerness to his return in the fall. GEORGE RAY First Year. Weight 235. L. T. This was Red's first year of col- legt football yet he was one of the best tackles in the conference. When an extra yard was needed it was made by Red on a tackle around play. His strength and fight could al- ways be depended upon. A player needed for our future victories. IRWIN DOANE First Year. Weight 155. T., H. B. Sheik was a man who could be trusted with more than one position. Many times he would break through and invite the enemy to a few yards loss. A valuable Zebra for the team of '26, FRANK TRACY First Year. Weight 165. F. B. Tracy was one of those Mason City Specials! A handsome player with knowledge of the game. He was a hard hitter on the offense and on the defense, strong in every play. His future records will be worth watch- mg. MERRILL YOUELL First Year. Weight 190. T. Silky'l was a player of great im- portance. He could be depended upon to make holes for the backs to get through. His powerful defense was feared by his opponents. Silky should show up great next season. DOUGLASS HAYMAN First Year. Weight 155. G. Dougy was another one of the men who possessed an educated toe. He placed the ball back of the goal line on the kick-off many times. We are expecting great things of him next year. FORREST RUSH Captain Elect First Year. Weight 150. L. H. Rush was the fastest man on the team. His quick footwork and speed made many needed yards for G. I. C. We hope to see Rush on the all-state team in '26 and captain of a cham- pion team. EDWARD RICH First Year. Weight 150. Center A dark haired favorite of the fans. Ed had the old HG. I. C. fight and kept things lively in the center of the line. He's a safe bet for next year. PAUL MORRIS First Year. Weight 155. End. Pauly had great ability in receiv- ing passes. Whenever he was given an opportunity to show his fight he did so and is now a full-fledged Ze- bra. He will loom up strong in the fall. PAUL NITZEL First Year. Weight 165. G. Nitzel was one of our fighting guards. The Zebra spirit was dis- played whenever he was in the game. Watch him on the gridiron in the future. ANDY WEILAND First Year. Weight 150. Q. B. Andy was the smallest man on the team, but his quickness and ac- tive footwork took the ball deep into the enemies' territory. The returning of punts and the long runs character- ized his playing. Resume of the Football Season, 1925 September was here again and the call for football men was sounded to all parts of the campus. Some thirty-five or forty responded in which there were only six letter men. This fact did not lessen the war on the grid-iron. Competition was close all of the time. The first game was with Hastings. This was a battle from start to finish. The Hastings Bronchos tried to score time and again but the strong defense of the Zebras held and the game ended with a tie-0-0. A long northern journey was taken next and led up into the Eagle country. Much to the surprise of the Southerners a deep blanket of snow awaited them. It is no wonder that the game was full of the 'jinx' for the Zebras. The match ended in a 26 to 0 victory for Chadron. The following week-end a game was held with the Doane gridsters. The field was snowy and slippery as before and the results a matter of luck. The score was 12 to 6 in favor of Doane. The game on Armistice Day was very close. The Zebras thought they had the Kearney Antelopes buffaloed but the honors were taken by the visiting Normal squad. The results stood 13-6. Midland was met next. The Zebras fought a hard game and at the end of the first half the score stood 7 to 6-the Lutherans only one point ahead! Once again the old G. I. C. 'jinx' settled down on those who wore the 'Orange and Blue' and for the first time Midland defeated G. I. C. The score was 19-6. Central's team was played the following week. It was one of the toughest battles of the season. Many times C. Foster and Haynes carried the ball within a few inches of the goal line, only to see Central strengthen and prevent a score. The second half was played in whirlwind style. When the Zebras got within a few feet of the goal line, one of the men fumbled and to the disadvantage of G. I. C. cost a touchdown by the Quakers. In the last few minutes of play Rush got away for a long run, thus making the score a tie-6-6. The last game of the season was with Omaha, Thanksgiving Day. It was played in the morning so that the G. I. C. gridsters might see the Notre-Dame vs. Nebraska game in the afternoon. Until the last few min- utes of play G1'and Island was seven points in the lead. Omaha secured a touchdown and another tieresulted--7-7. Although not a very successful season as concerns scores, the Zebras put up a hard fight and as men inexperienced in college football, learned team work and knowledge of the game. With the same material back at G. I. C. in '26 there is no reason why the Zebras should not carry off state honors. I RESULTS--1925 G. I. C. .... ....... 0 Hastings --- -- 0 G. I.

G1'aduation had depleted somewhat the ranks of the Zebras, but with the return of eight letter men the arrival of several high school graduates from the different towns around the prospects for a winning team increased materially. Under the able leadership of Captain Orval Auhl, the Zebras set about their task with a determination to carry the fight to the finish. And, although at times, the adverse Winds of Chance smothered the Fires of Ambition, they carried on nobly to the end and established one of the best records of any team that has ever carried the Orange and Blue onto the gridiron. ' For four weeks the Zebras trained and drilled and scrimmaged under the skillful tutorage of Coach Ernest Frank. At the end of that period of training the Panthers of York College were beset in their lair and after much snarling and rearing the Zebras emerged from the fray victorious. The Chadron Eagles next swooped down from their aerie, bringing with them a wind that blew no one good but themselves. On a dry, dusty field swept by a strong wind and with the weight advantage on their side by several pounds margin, they were able to hold the Zebras in check and blew themselves to a 3 to 0 victory. Central College was next subdued in a ve1'y peaceful manner but it was only after much forceful persuasion, in the form of several hard raps from the sharp Zebra hoofs, that the Doane Tigers were content to hand over their pelt. An out of state game with St. Benedicts College of Atchison, Kansas, ended in a scoreless tie. The Warriors of Midland College failed, for the third time, to corra! the crafty Zebras which ran amuck and refused to be subdued. On Turkey Day, with a brilliant rush of color, the Orange and Blue triumphed over the Maroon from Omaha. And thus came to a close one of the most successful football seasons of Zebraland: a season in which a record was made that will undoubtedly stand until a championship team makes its appearance. The record made is that of a goal line uncrossed and eighty-three points scored by the Orange and Blue to their opponents three, a place kick by Chadron. Several men also won recognition as all-state players-Roy Rehder as first all- state quarterbackg Captain Orval Auhl and Bob Krall on the second team at end and right-half respectivelyg Elmer Scheel left tackle on the third team, and Harry Neumayer honorable mention. The end of this season marked the close of the college football careers of the Four Horsemen of the Orange and Blue, Captain Orval Auhl, Harry G. Neumayer, O. A. Niess, and Roy Rehder.

JONES, Foam-li MORRIS MYRBERC FOSTER RITCHIE WUKTZ NORINE KLEINKAUF NEAL HICUSNEIC JOHANSON Basket Ball, 1926 Due to the lack of a gymnasium in which to hold regular practice the Grand Island College basketball team did not get started until after the hol- idays. This put the squad nearly a month behind other schools in practice. Although the Zebras lost every game they were a scrappy bunch. Cliff Wurtz was the only letter man on the squad until Buck Myrberg showed up and demanded a berth on the team. He soon proved that he desei'ved it. Outside of these two veterans, the rest of the cagesters were inex- perienced men. The Zebras' first game was played on the High School floor against Midland. The boys fought hard but were decisively defeated. But with encouragement and training from one of the best coaches in the state, namely, Doc Jones, they became determined to do their best. The next game was with Cotner and was another walk-away, for the opponents. After this fast game Heusner and Norine declared they could do the Charleston. The next night the Islanders were defeated by Doane. The guards were indeed thankful that the opposing team refrained from putting in their giant. Morris was elected captain before the game. The team is still trying to find out how York Won the next game. It seemed as though the jinx was still trailing the Zebras. Even the Dean admitted something the matter. The Zebras were defeated by York again and lost to Kearney, Mid- land, Omaha, and Wayne. Hastings also defeated the Islanders. It mattered very little whether the boys were losing or winning- they played fast and hard, always keenly enjoying the game. Their cour- ageous spirit, in the face of handicaps, was admired by all the school. With the same team back next fall and a new gymnasium in which to practice-Watch the Zebras go! Those who received letters are as follows: Captain-elect Johanson, Captain Morris, Myrberg, Wurtz, Heusner, Root, Norine, Beal, Kleinkauf, Foster and Ritchie. The time and attention given to the boys by Coach Jones is appre- ciated by the student body and by the faculty. Basket Ball, 1925 The basketball season of 1924-25 was a hectic struggle. The team under Coach Jones rounded into shape in a reasonably short time on the Y. M. C. A. floor. The first foe was Kearney at home. They had been preceded by tales of their strength, and possibly this had something to do with their defeating us by a narrow margin. In the second game with Doane the Zebras stepped out in midseason form and smothered the Tigers in a fierce struggle that looked like rugby practice. Other games followed in too quick succession. We took a trip and fell before Doane and Cotner. Then drew blood at York. Invaded Kearney for revenge and got it in a combat that was anybody's till the last gong. Then we couldn't resist the temptation to take York again. York had a scrappy team, and it was no walkaway for us. Then we were visited by the talented crews from Wayne Normal, and Peru Normal. Both were successful in mopping us, which automatically b1'anded them as fast aggregations. Cotner didn't have such a bad layout and proved it when they upset the dope to win handily over the Zebras at G. I. On an earlier trip the Jones men had reached the crest of a mid- season slump simultaneously with a defeat at the hands of Peru. They were now to make one more invasion which was the last inter-collegiate contests for four long-term men, Rehder, Auhl, Cunningham, and Chord. The first game played at Midland was a primitive struggle with the oppo- sition chalking up a one point win. The next game was a little surprise for the Wayne lads. The lighter boys from the Island had Wayne looking them up in Who's Who, for a while but they organized the second half and showed a brand of ball which brooked no criticism. In the final game with Omaha U. it seemed in the first half as though victory had placed her shield over us, but the heretofore savage attack of the Zebras weakened in the second half while the Omaha boys found it rather hard to miss the steel hoop. Omaha counted 24 while the striped Zebras counted 20. Thus ended a hard-fought season. The warriors who went through that campaign need not be ashamed. They fought for G, I. and Jones until the final whistle. Lest we forget, the three battlers not mentioned above were: Seibert, C Slewfoot , etc.J, the flashy Smokey Wengert, and the hefty Flop Holmes. Let the names of this team be honored in basketballdom as long as the referees' whistle shall echo on the plains of Nebraska. Q I 1 ' 1 ,,-- . is .. A :sbu Q. .. ' MK Nw I - .. t v., 'I J Resume of Tennis, 1925-Z6 During the year '25 tennis was more significant at Grand Island Col- lege than ever before in the history of the school. Wayland Rice and Fred Lape, then Juniors, Won the state championship in the doubles and Fred Lape played in the finals of the single match. The honor brought to the school by these two boys is very great. The large silver cup which they Won is admired by everyone on the campus. The time spent in practicing and in the study of technic is worthy of the attention of all who aspire to become champions. Professor Rice is to be given much credit for his val- uable coaching. It was necessary to find all new material for a tennis team this year. This was accomplished by means of a tournament in which Edward Panzer and Arnold Johanson Were the winning team. The runners-up were John Rusk and Wm. McGrath. Panzer won the singleslby beating Joe. These four composed the tennis team for the year. The first meet was with Hastings. Grand Island was defeated in both the singles and doubles. We won a singles game in which a popular though disgruntled Hastings star went down to defeat before Johnny Rusk. Grand Island won the singles and Kearney the doubles in a match held on our courts. A meet with Cotner and one with Kearney were cancelled on account of the weather. Grand Island College will enter three men in the state meet: A. Johan- son, E. Panzer, and J. Rusk. ' Track, 1926 The Grand Island College track season this year was one of the best in the history of the college. The team was headed by Captain Charlie Foster. Several other letter men of ability were back. The first meet held during the spring of '26 was with Kearney Nor- mal, April the 9th, The Grand Island College track men took the long end of the score, Winning 35 points more than their opponents. The score stood SOM!-50113 in favor of the Orange and Blue. The next meet was held with Central City, the 23d of April. Grand Island won in practically all of the events and added another victory to the season. The points stood 79-57. On the 28th of April, a match was held on the home field with Kear- ney. For the second time Grand Island defeated the Antelopes. The re- sults Were: 88 points for Grand Island and 48 points for Kearney. Central City College invaded the third city for a return meet with the Baptists. The strong team of the Orange and Blue completely mastered them and they returned home defeated by many points. The last meet was held with Cotner College, at Grand Island, the 9th of May. This meet was not Won as easily as some of the others but the Cotner team was sent home defeated by 13 points. Thus We see that five meets were Won by Grand Island during the sea- son of 1926. Those awarded letters in track were as follows: C. Foster: 100-yd.-220-yd.-Relays-Pole-Vault-Discus. Graham: Hurdles-440 yd.-Relays. Wells: Mile-One-half mile-Relay. Haynes: High J ump-Broad Jump--Pole-Vault. Hayman: 100-yd.--220-yd.-440-yd.-Relays-Javelin. Panzer: Mile-One-half mile-Two mile. Ray: Shot-Discus-High Jump. Root: 100-yd.-220-yd.-Hurdles-Relays-Broad J ump-Shot. Rush: 100-yd.-220-yd.-Relays. Dickerman: Mile-Two mile-Relay. Kruse : J avelin-High-J ump. Kleinkauf: Broad J ump-Javelin-Discus-Relay. Tracy : Pole-Vault-Shot. Rusk: Relay-220 yd. Track, 1925 The track team this year was headed by Captain Mutt Niess. Many other capable men assisted him in the very successful season. The first meet was with Kearney. G. I. C. won by a few points. In the return meet at Kearney the G. I. C. track men were again successful and won with little difficulty by a good many more points than the Ante- lopes. There were two more track meets, both with Central City College. These were Won by G. I. C. very easily. With a record of this kind we were able to send the team to the state meet which was staged at Lincoln. Graham placed 5th in the low hurdles. All five of the men broke the previous state record. Wayland Rice tied fo1' first in the high jump. The relay team which was composed of Charlie Foster, Douglass Hayman, Laurin Graham and Homer Fredericks, finished second in their heat but the time was not fast enough to place them. The following men made letters and entered the meets in the events as listed. Mutt Niess. Javelin. Discus. Edward Panzer. 2 mile. Eldie Dickerman. 2 mile. Ben Hites. Shot. Discus. John Chord.

I. C. in oratory. Oratory is a lonesome activity. It means months of research and then weeks of intensive training. All this is done alone. The1'e is none of the camaradie which makes other activities so enjoyable. Oratory requires a high degree of literary ability. A well-Written oration is a work of art and the orator must possess consummate skill in the use of words. Finally, the orator must be a public speaker. This implies a sense of dramatic valuesg an ability, through voice and gesture, to interpret these valuesg a personality which will hold an audienceg a gift of enthusiam and that indefinable flair for publicity which distinguishes the true orator, to the manner born, from the ordinary speaker. It is the belief of the Islander that G. I. C.'s orators have been Worthy representatives of their Alma Mater. In almost every case, our orators have been students who have carried a Wide variety of other activities as Well. In the 1925 Peace Contest, we were 1'epresented by Roger Johnson, who wrote and delivered a remarkably clear and convincing oration. Frances Shattuck, our State Orator, spoke on The Fountain of Time. Hers was an oration built around a beautiful description of Lorado Taft's masterpiece of the same name. In the State Oratorical of 1926, Chester Windolph spoke on Indus- trial Educationf' He discussed the necessity of revising our educational system in favor of a more practical line of studies. LaVerne Loos, the 1926 Peace Orator, entitled his oration Pros- pective Peace. Mr. Loos stressed the importance of substituting some positive action for our hesitant attitude toward measures of securing world peace. We reiterate, in conclusion, that G. I. C. may Well be proud of those who have represented her in Oratory. It is to be hoped that the orators of the future may be as representative of the best in the schools as they have been in the past. The Stufii Council The Student Council, an organization of students elected by the student body, has charge, in co-operation with the faculty, of local and state oratorical contests, inter-collegiate debates, athletics and The Volante. The council exercises no disciplinary powers, but through its of- ficers and committees makes arrangements for carrying on the ordinary student activities. Before the new council was elected, the old council was finishing a very successful year. One of the enjoyable affairs of the last semester was the banquet given after the basket-ball season, in honor of all the students who had been granted awards for participation in basket-ball, oratory and debate. A carnival and benefit movie were conducted, yielding a nice profit, which was added to the student activity fund. The all-school picnic was held at the Y. M. C. A. grounds on May 30. The new council members were elected the first of the year. Imme- diately a meeting was held for organization. The chairmen of the commit- tees were appointed, and the student fees were budgeted to the different activities as the council saw best. The first of the school events was the sponsoring of the Freshman- Sophomore class scrap. An afternoon was set aside for contests in order to decide the victorious class. After an interesting and exciting afternoon the Freshmen proved their supei'iority and were entertained at a supper by the Sophomores. The Volante deficit of past years was considerably reduced by a bene- fit movie, presenting The Freshman, with Harold Lloyd. A school carni- val was brought into existence, which was successful both from the enter- tainment and financial standpoints. The annual football banquet was given in December, in honor of the men who fought for G. I. C. in this sport. The Council for 1925 was organized as follows: President, Marlin Christensen, Secretary, Vera Tilley, Treasurer, Edna Olsong Volante, Kirk Stubblefieldg Athletics, William McGrath, Forensics, Earl Hayterg Faculty Adviser, Prof. F. G. Meserve, and Howard Geddes and Henry Kleinkauf. . The Volante President Coolidge has said that the pulpit, the schoolroom and the press are the three greatest influences affecting the thought of the people of the world today, and college journalism certainly neither could nor would claim exemption from this place in the sun in regard to college af- fairs. The Fourth Estate has been ably represented at Grand Island College this year by The Volante, under the editorship of Cleora Vaughan, with Wayne Wells at the other end of the line making the thing pay -a feat which he, and Aubrey Hurlbert, as business manager the year before, have been the only managers in recent years to accomplish. To alertly re- port the worth-while happenings in the college, and to interpret the cur- rents of student thought is not an easy task, and in both these respects The Volante compares very favorably with student publications of other colleges in this state, and elsewhere. Under Miss Vaughan's name in the mast-head of this year's issues have appeared the following staff: Sporting editor, LeRoy Watson, Athenian, Pearl Simpson, Amphictyon, Mildred Pearson, Y. M. C. A., Eldon Smith, Hibbs Hall, Mary Boxwellg Poverty Phlatz, Laurin Graham, Life Service League, Enid Myers, Sigma Tau Delta, LaVerne Loosg Alumni, Miss Hile, Senior, Mary Boxwellg Junior, Cleora Vaughan, Sophomore, Donald Haggart, Freshmen, Lloyd Richards, Track, Charlie Foster, Tennis, Otto Krula. In addition to the regular issues of The Volante, special issues repre- senting various organizations on the campus have been put out as follows: Sophomore issue - that glorious one in red and white - with Milfred Mehring as editor, Amphictyon issue, in the hands of Cassius Congerg Senior issue, with Pearl Hile at the helm, Athenian issue, edited by Doris Hudson, and two English issues. No paper, either collegiate or commercial, can possibly succeed with- out its advertisers, and to the business men of the city of Grand Island great credit is due for their generosity in supporting The Volante. Their advertising makes a paper possible at Grand Island College, and The Volante furnished them with a valuable and economical advertising medium. The support of President Wells, with his regular column, and of other members of the faculty in requested contributions, has all contrib- buted to make The Volante the success it has been.

Need of an organization wherein students with ability in in- strumental music could express themselves in organized effort has been felt in the past, and the college took steps this year to reach this end in securing the services of Leland M. Gobel, a junior, to direct an orchestra. Mr. Gobel was last year assistant director of the University Band at the University of Nebraska, and is a cornetist of considerable experience and great ability. The Orchestra has made a number of public appearances this year, always being well received. It has appeared at the Majestic theatre, on several occasions at the Baptist church, at the Salem church, at the tri- state convention of the Women's Missionary Society, and at the bacca- laureate services and commencement exercises of the college, in addition to several appearances in chapel. On April 9th the Orchestra broadcasted a program, in conjunction with the Glee Club from Radio Station KMMJ, at Clay Center. The work of the Orchestra in its first year has been very pleasing, and it is hoped the organization may continue to function in the college. Glee Club FRED. B. REYNOLDS, Director.

Their first appearance was before the Nebraska Baptist convention held in Lincoln the early part of October. The quartette then returned home to sing, three nights in succession, before large social gath- erings in the city. The cho1'us work this year included both sacred and secular numbers. The club has sung in various churches of the city and in the junior high schools. On the evening of April 9, the club broadcasted from Station KMMJ at Clay Center, and on May 2 sang at Aurora. Trips will be made to Polk and Stromsburg. Lorna Davis has accompanied the club as a violin soloist. Stripettes President - BLANCHE ROUSEK Vice-President - PAULINE McBRIDE Secretary-Treasurer GLENNYS KNOX Sergeant-at-Arms IRENE BOELTS Cheer-Leader IRENE WENGERT Adviser ---- MRS. F. A. RUSH You've got it, now keep it, doggone it, don't lose it - your pep. There would seem little possibility of Grand Island College ever losing its pep so long as there is such a peppy organization on the campus as the Stripettes. The Stripette organization was established at The Grand Island Col- lege the first part of October, 1925, by Mrs. F. A. Rush, director of physi- cal education for women, for the purpose of developing school-spirit, clean play, loyalty and co-operation. Membership was limited to girls registered in physical education classes. The physical education class of 1925 shall constitute the charter membership of the organization. In a financial way the Stripettes have been very successful, especially in consideration of the fact that the organization is a new one. The presi- dent, Blanche Rousek, in behalf of the Stripettes, has already presented to the college fifty dollars in gold, which is to be used for athletic pur- poses. They expect to be able to present another similar gift by the close of the school year. The money earned by the Stripettes in various activi- ties is to be used for the promotion of athletics at Grand Island College, the raising of such funds being one of the purposes of the organization. At all college activities, the Stripettes, easily recognized by their blue and gold striped sweaters may be seen doing all of their part, and more, of the cheering. By this Work, and frequent programs presented at student meetings, as well as by the financial contributions, the Stripettes have done much to accomplish their purpose of promoting interest in athletics at Grand Island College. The Classical Language Club Shortly after the first of the year the students in the Latin and Greek departments, at the suggestion of Prof. McDonald, organized the Classical Language Club. At the first meeting Mary Boxwell was elected president, with Effa Rudge as vice-president and Harold Eisele as secre- tary and treasurer. Prof. McDonald is sponsor of the club, assisted by Prof. Miller. The Classical Language Club was organized for the purpose of en- couraging a larger enrollment in the classical language department and to arouse greater interest in the work of the department. The study of clas- sical languages is increasing in popularity at Grand Island College and it has been necessary to add courses this year to meet the requests of the students desiring advanced work. This g1'oWing interest was felt ample reason to justify the organization of a club devoted to the interests oi' classical languages. Membership is open to the students of Latin or Greek and to others who are interested in either language. Seventeen students are enrolled as charter members. Though the club has been organized but a short time, those in charge have arranged for a few very interesting and well attended meetings. Sub- jects of interest in connection with the languages of the club are consi- dered. The program is varied with poetry and music and papers are pre- pared and read. An interesting feature of the programs this year has been the roll call, when the members respond by giving a motto in either Latin or Greek. One very pleasant evening was spent in a social time and Rev. Paul M. Hillman was a guest of the club. He gave an interesting talk. Those responsible for the organization and conduct of the Classical Language Club this year are well pleased with the interest shown by the members, both by their attendance and by their participation. With the prospects of an increased enrollment in the department and a larger mem- bership, the Classical Language Club has the assurance of even greater activity next year. Y. M. C. A. Service Plus Fellowship -this slogan has been the guiding note for the activities of the college Y. M. C. A. in the last two years since its adoption. The statement of the purpose of the Y establishes a four-fold objective for the organization for the present college year: First, to lead students to faith in God through Jesus Christ. Thus its purpose is dis- tinctly evangelical. Second, to lead students to growth in Christian faith and character especially through the study of the Bible and prayer-the educative and exemplary element. Third, to lead students into active membership in the Christian church. In this objective the Y recognizes that a Christian without the Christian church is like a good soldier with- out an army. Last, to lead students to unite with all Christians to make the will of Christ effective in human society-the objective which leads to true Christianity which has depth, and to the spirit of complete tol- erance so carefully expressed at the beginning of this year. In addition to the Tuesday meetings, which have this year been made interesting by a mingling of meetings led by students with those at which some capable speaker from among the business and professional men of the city, the Y. M. C. A. introduced a new feature last fall, in having weekly suppers at the cafeteria room of the city Y. M. C. A. building. While these meetings, due to inconvenience to some members, were not carried out through the entire school year, they proved of great inspira- tion while they were possible. Speakers prominent in activities in which young men are interested were asked to address these meetings. Officers of the Y. M. C. A. for the last year were: Harry Neumayer, presidentg Lawrence Ritchie, vice-presidentg Eldie Dickerman, secretary, and Robert McWilliams, treasurer. The new officers elected for 1926-27 are: Lloyd Richards, president, Harold Eisele, vice-president, Myron Rumery, secretary, and James Simpson, treasurer. Professor Meserve, sponsor last year and again this,has resigned, as he is leaving the college, and his inspiration and help to the Y will be greatly missed. Professor A. C. Rice has been elected to succeed him, and with his guidance and the high motives expressed in the statement of purpose, the Y. M. C. A. looks forward to another year of successful work for the up-building of Chris- tian life on the campus. ' Y. C. A. What the Y. W. C. A. has accomplished in the past year cannot fully be expressed in words, but its influence has been felt in the lives of all the girls who have attended the meetings. The election was held in April, 1925, and the cabinet was chosen im- mediately. Each member began to work on her special duty. Two Estes Programs were held out-of-doors, for the purpose of arousing more interest and to give all the girls an idea of the meaning of the Estes Conference. Several of the girls had the opportunity of attending one of Bruce Cui'ry's Bible study groups at Lincoln. They returned very enthusiastic and more determined to go to Estes and hear more from Bruce Curry. The May pageant was one of the main events during commencement week. It was a beautiful affair with woodland scenery, colored lights and pretty costumes. Margai'et Rice, the president, was crowned May queen. Next came the Estes joint Y. M. and Y. W. conference, the first of its kind. Eleanor Palmquist, a graduate of G. I. C., Frances Shattuck, Margaret Rice and Gladys Patton attended. What grand experiences! For men and women met together and discussed student problems and world problems. And right here they learned that men and women could accom- plish gi'eater results by working and thinking together. One of the first events of the school year was the Y. M. and Y. W. Mixer, which was a great success, offering opportunity for the new stu- dents to become acquainted. The annual slumber party was held at the dorm, at which time each Big Sister entertained her Little Sister. G. I. C. was fortunate in having the Western district of the Nebraska Y. M. and Y. W. conference on its campus. Students repi'esenting Has- tings, Kearney, Central City, York and Grand Island were present. Men prominent in national affairs addressed the conference. The Christmas Kid party was quite a success, each child being presented with a gift. The ladies at the Soldiers' Home were remembered Christmas and Mother's day. The finance campaign at the beginning of the year was very success- ful, and the funds have been supplemented by sales of candy and sand- wiches during the year. Athenian Many years have passed since the first Athenians completed their work and left their responsibility in the faith that the next generation would come to the rescue and carry on the work. September 1925 found only forty Athenians back in the halls of Grand Island College ready to shoulder the burdens of college life once more. Our first social event occurred the second week of school when we en- tertained the students and faculty at a program and informal reception. After a period of games which were played in the main building, partners were chosen for a game of Follow the Leader. The leader succeeded in directing them to the dining hall where a dainty lunch was served from tables arranged in the form of a letter A and beautifully decorated with candles and the Athenian colors. This is always one of the most pleasing events of the year as it is the only time we have the privilege of enter- taining the entire student body and faculty. During the program a one- act play, Where But in America was given under the direction of Pro- fessor Harriet Anderson. Of course the most important activity of the society was the annual initiation held in the basement of Hibbs Hall. When the older members had tired of playing pranks on the new ones, they retired to the reception hall, where they made their pledge to Athenian and were given member- ship cards. Thirty-three were initiated, making a membership of seventy- three. Our next party was on Hallowe'en, when we were entertained in the basement of the President's home. It was an impromptu affair and the ap- preciation of the hospitality of the host and hostess was evidenced in the revelry of their guests. On January 22 the Amphictyons invited us to join them for a skating party at Schimmer's lake. We joyfully accepted and although it was cold the Weather man failed to freeze the spirits of the party. Friday, February 19, We entertained our Alumni and Former Student members at our Weekly program. A very excellent program was given which consisted of The Athenian, society newspaper, written by Grace Lindburgg a Berceuse by Aransky, as a violin solo, by Lorna Davisg a musical reading by Frances Shattuck, a reading by Lyle Schlund, and a quartet number, Goin' Home, by the Athenian quartet. The program was concluded by a one-act play, Three Pills in a Bottle, Written by Rachel Lyman Field. This play borders on the fanciful and portrays a little sick boy ministering to the souls of people who are finding life drudgery. We hope that this will become an annual event so our alumni former members will be able to keep in touch with the society and know the type of Work they are doing. The Athenians owe much of their success to their sponsor, Miss An- derson. She has always given herself very unselfishly to the work of the society and has been successful in keeping our programs above the aver- age. Under her direction many of the best short plays have been given, these not only creating interest in dramatics, but also acquainting us with some of the best play-Wrights. This is the sixth year that Miss Ander- son has served as our sponsor and during that time she has ea1'nestly en- deavored to create a greater interest in the students for literature and art of a high standard.

HARRIET ANDERSON Amphictyon Soon after the Grand Island College was founded the Amphictyon Literary society organized. Its purpose was to encourage literary activi- ties and to promote fellowship among the students. This purpose has been constantly kept in mind and is still Worthy of further fulfillment. The true spirit of Amphictyon will remain with its members long after their college life is finished. As Amphictyons look back over the school year 1925-26, they recall many pleasures received from the activities of the society. The purpose of the open meeting in September was to help the new students to become acquainted and to welcome back the former members. After a program consisting of music, a one-act play, and a real welcome address by our president, Earl Hayter, everyone joined in the games which were provided. Last, but not least, came regular Amphictyon refresh- ments. After this meeting, many new students decided to cast their lot with the society. On initiation evening, forty-four brave students were ready to go through the ordeal necessary to be full-fledged members. The candidates and old members drove out to the Central Power park for supper. Thanks to the committee, everyone had plenty to eat. The would-be Amphic- tyons were anxious to eat early in the evening, before any serious acci- dents occurred. Fortunately the candidates accomplished successfully the difficult tasks required and were none the worse for their experience. After returning to the Amphictyon hall the initiation was completed by an impressive formal service. There have been many interesting programs planned by the commit- tee. The Amphictyon News Journal is always a favorite number. This publication contains news from the latest developments in politics, fash- ions and Dorm Dates. Another favorite is the original serial given in installments. Some of the writers showed unusual talent in finding the psychological mo- ment to bring their part of the story to a close. Musical numbers are always in demand. Many excellent piano, violin and vocal solos have been given, and quartets have also been arranged. A group of eight young men who sang in German provided special amuse- ment at one meeting. Pianologues by one of the new members were very cleverly given. Amphictyons always want to be well-informed about the affairs of the world beyond Grand Island College, and for this reason many special reports on current events have been given. Several of the members gave very excellent readings. An alumnae member pleased the boys especially when she gave as one of her numbers The Whole World Waits for a Woman to Powder Her Nose. Perhaps the most enjoyable numbers of all have been plays. The Amphictyons have not presented a play for the public this year, but sev- eral one-act plays have been given at the regular meetings. The first play, His Soul, was given at the Amphictyon open meet- ing. The theme of the play was not such a serious matter as the title in- dicated, however, and the audience seemed to enjoy it greatly. The next play, The Crystal Globe, was presented by two of the girls. It impressed upon us the fact that it would not be wise to worry too much over what was in the crystal, for there might be a mistaken identity. At a later meeting we learned that Too Much Salt may cause some embarrassment. At the Hallowe'en meeting the younger generation had their pictures taken, at which time the children gave the photographer and their par- ents much trouble. Three of a Kind, A Picked-Up Dinner, The School at Blueberry Corners, A Love of a Bonnet, and I Grant You Three Wishes, will not be forgotten soon by those who were fortunate enough to see them given. The Amphictyons have been well represented in all branches of col- lege activities, having members on the debate teams, in every athletic squad, on the student council and among those elected to Alpha Sigma Pi. The success of the year has been due in a large measure to the sin- cere interest and practical counsel of the sponsor, Professor Dickerman. All Amphictyons are truly grateful for what she has done. Under her guidance the Amphictyons will continue to further all the best interests of the Grand Island College.

Pi Kappa Delta promotes intercollegiate forensics in a number of ways. First, by giving recognition, in four different degrees, to expert- ness in public address, it furnishes an incentive to the would-be speaker. Second, it provides a common meeting-ground for debaters, orators and coaches from all parts of the country. At its conventions the fraternity con- ducts debate, oratory, and extemporaneous speaking contests for both men and women, with trophies for the winner of each. The privilege of appear- ing in such a contest does much to keep interest in intercollegiate foren- sics at a high pitch. It provides a national question, upon which schools in every part of the country are prepared to debate. It provides a list of judges certified as competent. It issues certificates of ability to those who wish evidence of collegiate forensic work in getting teaching posi- tions. Through its quarterly magazine, it makes possible a national forum of ideas for the improvement of debate. Pi Kappa Delta stands for fair play, it stands for broadmindedness, holding that in no activity as in debate does one learn the truth of the old adage, There are two sides to every question. The order stands for sportsmanshipg the Pi Kappa Delta man must learn to lose well and win generously. He must learn to treat opponents with courtesy. Pi Kappa Delta stands for an ideal. From time immemorial, the art of speech has been one of the greatest forces for good or evil that the world has seen. This fraternity stands for the carrying forward of that glorious tradition of forensic art, which was established by those who used the art of persuasion for the good of mankind. Officers and members for this year are: Paul Newell, president, Frances Shattuck, vice-president, Robert McWilliams, secretary-treas- urerg Otto Krula, Earl Hayter, Oren Cunningham, Ruth Bryan, Kirk Stub- blefield, Harold Eisele, Lloyd Richards, Edward Caredis, President Wells, Miss Hile, Professor Knox, and Rev. R. R. Coon. Sigma Tau Delta The Sigma Tau Delta fraternity is the outgrowth of the English club ol' Dakota Wesleyan university, and since its establishment as a national organization in 19241 it has grown to include nineteen chapters, of which Grand Island College has the second, or Beta Alpha chapter. The purpose of the fraternity is to promote a mastery of written expression, to en- courage discussion of contemporary writing and first-hand acquaintance with our chief literary masterpieces, and to foster a spirit of good fellow- ship among those specializing in the English language and its literature. lt was through the efforts of Miss Lillian Steckman, former head of the English department, and a member of the national advisory council of the fraternity, that a chapter was established at Grand Island College. Charter members of Beta Alpha chapter are: Pauline Farabee, Mary Gold- enstein, Aubrey Hurlbert, Wayland Rice, LaVerne Loos and Eldon Smith. Members elected subsequently are Ruth Castleberry, Verna Pielstick, C. E. Strong, Frances Shattuck, Lucile Rogers, Ruth Ainslie, Richard Johnson, and Prof. Fred. C. Winship. Officers for 1925-26 are: Wayland Rice, president, Frances Shattuck, vice-president, Lucile Rogers, secre- tary, Ruth Ainslie, treasurer. During the two years of its existence Beta Alpha Chapter has accom- plished much that has been worth-while and pleasurable. Shortly after its formation the chapter was instrumental in bringing John G. Neihardt, poet laureate of Nebraska, and tenth-degree member of Beta Alpha chap- ter, to the college for a reading of his lyric poems. Not only was the re- sponse from the students and residents of the city very gratifying, but the inspiration derived from contact with Mr. Neihardt has been of great value. This year the organization sponso1'ed an entertainment by Bess Gear- hardt Morrison, a reader of national repute, and this undertaking was also very successful. E Sigma Tau Delta looks forward to a future of growing achievement and of progress toward the ideals expressed by the key-words: Sincerity, Truth, Design. Alpha Sigma Pi In 1924 a group of students decided there was need for an honorary society at Grand Island College, and acting upon this, they organized the Alpha Sigma Pi fraternity, basing membership upon a three-fold require- ment--ability, scholarship and personality. In this way they sought to emphasize the importance of all-around development of the individual's qualities. Many societies had already recognized ability along some special line without regard to prowess along other lines, or the general character of the individual. Alpha Sigma Pi considers that there is a need for a more inclusive basis for selection-a basis which would include the various phases of a well-rounded personality. Records are kept of those students whose grades are above ninety per cent, and who show aptitude for leadership in college activities and the willingness to accept responsibility. If at the end of five semesters' resi- dent work their grades show an average of at least 90 per cent and they are true college citizens, they are eligible for election to Alpha Sigma Pi. The charter members of this organization are: Gladys McDonald, Margaret Firth, Ruth Shattuck, Carter Simpson, and Esther Hile as sponsor. From the class of 1925 are Edith and Floy Boston and Roy Rehder. From the class of 1926, Minnie Caress, Wayland Rice and Doris Hudson. From the class of 1927, Esther Andersen, Lucile Rogers, La Verne Loos and Robert McWilliams. President - - MINNIE CARESS Vice-President DORIS HUDSON Secretary-Treasurer W AYLAND RICE Sponsor - - - ESTHER HILE ABILITY SCHOLARSHIP PERSONALITY French Club The French Club was organized at the first of this year. The mem- bers are the second-year French students: Eleanor Woelz, Frances Shat- tuck, Doris Hudson, Grace Lindburg, Margaret Roenfeldt, Leone West- over and Paul Newell. Our sponsor is Professor Lippelt, professor of Ro- mance language. At the first meeting a constitution was adopted which had been drawn up by Doris Hudson and Leone Westover. Of course, every club must have a name, so we concerned our minds with this weighty matter. The result was En Avant, which means For- ward. The aims of our club are numerous. We doubt whether or not we can live up to them, but we intend to try. The first aim is to develop conversational French. This we accomplish by reading newspaper articles in French papers and discussing them in class. Some of our meetings have been given over entirely to conversation. We talk about everything that our French vocabulary covers. Chain stories have given us some practice as well as some fun. The second aim of our club is to become acquainted with the customs of the French people. This is accomplished through reports of articles and the reading of articles in the French magazines and papers. The life of the youth and student of France has been the basis of some of our discussions. In connection with this, each student is corre- sponding with a French student. The first letters have been written and we are eagerly awaiting the replies. Since a club seldom carries out all its aims we feel that the work of the French club has been worthwhile even though we may have fallen short of some of our aims. We have had some fun along with our work. The speaking of French has at least become more natural for us. One of our most interesting programs was given near the close of the school year. Frances Shattuck gave some amusing incidents from the life of Anatole France, Doris Hudson read the story of La Petite Carbon Rouge. Eleanor Woelz reported on an article from Le Figaro, Grace Lindburg gave some anecdotes, and Margaret Roenfeldt discussed briefly the life of a well-known Spanish poet. C. O. Bfs The C. O. B. society was organized in 1925 by a small group of stu- dents, one or both of Whose parents had attended Grand Island College. Eligibility is based upon their parents' attendance at Grand Island College. The purpose of the organization is to bring about a closer contact lie- tween the alumni and the former students of the college and the present student body. As children oi' former students, it is the desire of the mem- lrers to be of any service to the college, especially at Homecoming and Commencement times. If the organization may in any way influence other members of the student body to become more loyal to their Alma Mate1', its members would be glad to do so. Gordon Shattuck, who entered the college as a Freshman in 1917, was the first grandson of the college. His initials are G. I. C. Shattuck. There are now twenty-three children of former college students who have at- tended the Alma Mater of their parents. They are as follows: HONORARY MEMBERS Gordon Shattuck. Blanche Lindgren. Charlotte Lindgren-Shaw. Eleanor Palmquist. ACTIVE MEMBERS Cleora Vaughan. Maurine Ely. Lloyd Richards. Lucile Jackson. Vera Tilley. Ralph Tilley. Irene Boelts-Pres. Frances Shattuck-Pres. '24-'25. Douglass Hayman. '25-26. Ruth Shattuck. Richard Johnson George Ray. Etta Hanna. Lucille Shattuck. Arthur Caress. Minnie Caress. Ama Caress. Donald Starr. Laurence Ritchie The Chemistry Club President ELDIE DICKERMAN Vice-President RALPH TILLEY Secretary - - JOSEPH ALICATA Sponsor - - PROF. A. C. RICE As an organization for the promotion of seminar work in chemistry, the G. l. C. Chemistry club is one of the livest and most successful of such organizations in the college. It has promoted interest in chemistry beyond the mere routine of class work, and has sponsored a spirit of fellowship between those especially interested in this branch of science. Meetings have been held regularly, usually at the home of Professor Rice, and these have combined social and scientific activity. One of the purposes of the club is to secure talks on special subjects in the field of chemistry. Four such addresses have been given during the past school year. The first of these, a History of the G. l. Chem Club, was given by Wayland Rice, who is this year completing by extension his work for a major in this department. At another meeting, Ben Hites gave a talk on Weather Conditions. Professor Harriet Anderson very interestingly de- veloped the subject of '4Sun Spots at one of the meetings. The Relation of Chemistry to Health and Diseases was the subject of a talk by Joseph Alicata. As a special feature at one of the meetings, motion pictures were shown, illustrating the chemical processes involved in the various stages of making iron. The organization has helped the students of the department to get a glimpse of the accomplishments of chemistry in the world of industry. During each meeting opportunity is given for the members to discuss various topics pertaining to chemistry. As the meetings are open to all who care to attend, the organization has done much to stimulate interest in chemistry among the general student body. The members of the de- partment have sliown much interest in the programs, and the work of the organization has brought about a realization of the great opportunities which chemistry affords. Der Deutsche Verein President - WILLIAM McGRATH Vice-President ESTHER ANDERSIEN Secretary - RUTH AINSLIE Assistant Secretary ELDIE DICKERMAN Treasurer - - KIRK STUBBLEFIELD Der deutsche Verein was organized in March 1925 by the members of the second-year German class. Professor Dickerman was elected sponsor and Roy Rehder was chosen as the first president. The club now consists of twenty-six members. The purpose of Der deutsche Verein is to acquaint its members with German literature and to provide opportunity for additional practice in the fluent use of the language in conversation. The meetings of the organization are held at regular intervals, and these programs are presented, entirely in German. These programs are of a varied nature including songs, readings, campus news, plays, jokes and reports on articles read by members in Illustrirte Zeitungf' a German magazine. The first session of the year was in the form of a delightful party in the Amphictyon hall, held late in September, at which Professor Dicker- man entertained the club. The evening was spent in playing various games, these being carried on entirely in German. Later in the evening refresh- ments were served, and it could truly be said that alle hatten eine gute Zeit. Another interesting feature of the year was the annual entertain- ment given to the first-year German class, in the form of Eine Kaffee Zeit. An all-German program was given, the last number of which was a play entitled The History Class, by the members of the third-year class. Following the program refreshments were served. This meeting was especially interesting because it was the freshies first experience in listening to a German program. We hope to see all the twenty members of the first-year class in the club next year. Life Service League The Life Service League has tried to function definitely for the growth of Christian character. Christian knowing, Christian doing, and Christian living have been stressed. Because without knowledge much ef- fort is wasted, some definite Christian vocation has been studied at each meeting. Among these are the work of the missionary, the Sunday school officer and teacher, the minister, the minister's wife, the director of re- ligious education, the worker in the Vacation Bible school and Week Day religious school, and the director of religious education. Because knowl- edge has little value aside from service, an attempt has been made to have each member responsible for some specific Christian task. Because knowledge and service for effective results must be definitely linked with Christian living and Christian motives, each meeting has had a vital wor- ship period. The play room of the President's home will always recall the many happy and profitable gatherings of the members of the League. ln re- sponse to the kind invitation of President and Mrs. Wells this has been the regular meeting place throughout the year. After a picnic supper about the fireplace, Miss Edna Umstott of the Life Service division of the Northern Baptist Convention presented the at- tainment goal at the first meeting. Other visitors of the year W61'9 Rev. and Mrs. A. C. Hull of the Baptist church, Rev. and Mrs. Glen Rice of the Presbyterian church, Rev. P. M. Hillman of the Trinity Methodist church, Rev. John Foote from Japan, and Rev. H. C. Whitcomb of Omaha. The officers for the year were: Lawrence Ritchie, president, Beulah Overman, vice-president, Beatrice Speer, secretary, Enid Myers, pro- gram chairmang Mary Lou Davis, Christian Work chairman, and Esther Hile, sponsor. As an appreciation for the organization and the efficient sponsoring of the League, Professor R. B. Stevens and wife were presented with a college pillow at the annual picnic last year. The work of the League has been largely due to his wise guidance. The memory of the circle of prayer in the firelight will linger with us long after the specific lesson of the evening has been forgotten. Much has been accomplished, but much remains undone. G. l. Club The G. I. Club is a new organization upon our campus. The club was organized by a group of men interested in better athletics and forensics at Grand Island College and the strict appreciation of letters and medals issued by the school. The club has done two things of importance for an organization of this kind to live: First, the names of all men, records and data of all value from as far back as possible have been recorded in a large book which will serve as a record of the past and present athletic and forensic eventsg second, pictures of all athletic groups have been secured as far back as 1901. The club held its first initiation of new members this spring, passing upon eighteen. All men that have received a letter for athletics or emblem for foren- sics at Grand Island College before the club was organized, are considered associate members. President--HARRY G. NEUMAYER Vice-President-CHARLIE FOSTER Secretary-Treasurer-LAURIN GRAHAM .I ,,,A ...M r Alumnif Former Student Association The annual meeting of the Alumni-Former Student Association was held on the day prior to Commencement in 1925 when the officers named below were elected. The constitution was so amended that nine members for the executive committee were elected to act with the regularly elected officers. These nine were elected for periods of one, two, and three years. In the future three new members will be elected as the terms of office expire. During the district meeting of the Nebraska Educational Association which was held at Hastings an Alumni-Former Student Association re- union and dinner was enjoyed at the Hastings Y. W. C. A. The college can rightfully feel proud of her graduates who win the confidence of their fellow workers. Bert Cushing was chosen president of this district of the N. E. A. while a number of our graduates were selected as chairmen of their respective groups. The annual homecoming is the one great event of the year which is of particular interest to alumni and former students. This year November 14 was selected for the date. A very interesting program of events was arranged, introduced on the evening of the 13th with the College Carnival. Instead of the football game which is often the leading attraction of homecoming, other student activities and interests were exhibited in the college chapel. Music by the glee club and orchestra, a short play, and a demonstration of the girls' pep organization, the Stripettes, provided a varied entertainment. Fol- lowing this the President and Mrs. Wells 1'eceived the former students at their beautiful home for an informal reception. Present members of the emblem club of Grand Island College, assisted by alumni and former students have collected pictures of athletic groups of former days. These were mounted and were on display in the college library during the homecoming week. These proved to be of great interest to the present student body as well as to the former students and alumni. The state championship days were recalled by John Foote, Oak Davis, and Elias Starr who fought together on the gridiron in ye oldene days. The banquet hour was a very enjoyable occasion. Students and guests entered into the jollity with the usual college spirit. The President's house is entirely completed. Shrubbery and trees have been planted this spring.
