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.
