The opposite is also true, vision gives life, hope and inspiration. The Trustees, Faculty Members, Alumni and Friends of this institution have a vision of a greater and better Grand Island College. We are able to visualize a library building, two science buildings, a fine arts building, additional dormitories and a, student union, located on a campus beautified with shrubbery and trees. We feel a spirit of joy, earnestness, Christian idealism, loyalty and appreciation which permeates the student body of five hundred members. We witness the frequent re- turn of the Alumni and Former Students who are singing the College songs in a spirit of triumph. We hear the Baptist people of the middle west and all the people in this vicinity talking of ways in which they may help in the building of this greater and better Grand Island College. We see radiating from the campus, like rays of light from the sun, the influences which are called truth, faith, culture, hope, brotherhood, charity, knowledge, service, tolerance, Christian optimism and spiritual joy. ' DR. J. M. WELLS, President. itlvritagr S to its heritage Grand Island College has six buildings, well made and well adapted to its purpose, a library well selected, the work of many teachers who were competent and self-sacrificing, and who on going elsewhere received larger salaries than when serving here, nearly thirty-six hundred Alumni and former students who have made good in the world of opportunity and of service, a denomination second to none in America in the size of its constituency, a great field to serve and from which to draw, consisting not of Nebraska only, but also of five other states to the westward.

Nm., Q JN s-rm ef' 1 f wa - .1-r w , .V iliarultg Gllllh Some seven years ago, the Faculty Club was organized, to which be- long all of the College faculty and the wives of married members. The purpose of the society is to promote sociability, and to foster mutual in- terest in the work of the various departments of the College. To accomplish these aims, a committee carefully arranges and an- nounces the year's schedule of monthly meetings, early in the School year. Thus each member has an opportunity to plan ahead, for his share in the entertainment and program, and for his attendance at all of the gather- mgs. . The present club year opened with an autumn breakfast at the home of Professor and Mrs. Knox, at which the new faculty members were guests. The January meeting was a. banquet at the Hotel Yancy. Presi- dent and Mrs. Carrell of Nebraska Central College were guests. President Carrell delivered an address, The Challenge of Youth to Education. As the Various members appear on the programs from time to time, they speak on subjects of their own or the committee's choice. Appropriate decorations and refreshments are features of each meeting. The season will close with a spring picnic, in May. During the present year, Professor Titt is President and Professor Miller, Secretary of the Club. .Q eil, - -. - . .

Diminished in numbers as compared with the Freshman year, as is the fate of every college class, it is anything but diminished in spirit and quality - and quality counts more than quantity. Nevertheless, here we are, twenty strong-the largest class to graduate from G. I. C. And all this after a most auspicious beginning in the fall of 1923, when members of our class took their places in the activities of the school, with four men in football, three in basketball and five in track. Not con- tent with this, before the year was over members of the class had been elected to the presidency of the three college religious organizations - Esther Rice of the Y. W. C. A., Charles Gurney of the Y. M. C. A., and Gust Carlson of the Life Service League. Many other members of the class held other offices in various organizations. Paul Newell and Robert Mc- Williams made names for themselves in debate and William Clarke in the Peace Oratorical Contest. Throughout the four years, Dean Firth has been our sponsor, and has been responsible for a great deal of our success, and to him the class owes a great deal. In addition to his friendship and advice he has been responsi- ble each year for a social feature of some sort, such as a steak fry or a party with the luscious. eats that only Mrs. Firth knows how to provide. The editorship of the Volante has been in our class for three years now, and we are wondering how they are going to do without us after this year. Eldon Smith was editor in the sophomore year, Cleora Vaughn in the junior, and Frances Shattuck this year. William McGrath was also its business manager in our freshman year. Last' year a very successful Islander was published with Frances Shattuck as editor and Oren Cun- ningham, business manager. Our prospects for success may be predicted by the fact that last year, when mental tests were for the first time given to the students as a whole, our class had the highest general average, and that ten of our members are in 'Sigma Tau Delta, six in Pi Kappa Delta and three in Alpha Sigma Pi. Great things may be expected of this class, and great things will be attained. .

At this point let us turn back a few of the pages that are not printed in bold faced type, but which can be found dispersed throughout this old book. Let us review the better than the best class and see into how many branches they have ventured and how many things they have done. As Ellis, I would say, There is nothing more enjoyable and inspiring than to look back on our past experiences, and to review our errors and successes. We started out in '24 with a class of 70,members, about one- half of the population of the school, to show the old Alma Mater what a real class was like. Many were the midnight rides of the Sophomores that year. We took the class day fight, were chief competors in the Track Meet, placed many men on the Football squad, filling the majority of the football positions with good men. We went over, 10073 for the new Gym- nasium subscriptions. Several debators were from our class. The Sophomore year we dwindled to about 60, only a few taking the path of the school Ma'ams. That year we again started the volcanic erup- tions as was testified by the upheavals of the innocent Freshman. Hiking is a wonderful exercise-ask Pan -it still being a popular Freshman activity. We lost the class fight, but won the Track Meet. There was another good football team-thanks to us. We were also represented on the Basket Ball squad. The class had members in the G. I. Club, the Stripettes, the Kappa Omicron Beta and Sigma Tau Delta. We initiated the Dean's new barn, breaking any one of the 57 varieties on it. The class this year contributed generously to the state's educational project, as well as to the better homes institution-so we started with only 22 members. Rush was the Football captain and Hayman was the Track captain. Outside of the regular activities this year we have devoted very little time to enjoyment. We all pushed the Islander, and you can see how it has gone over-thanks to the untiring efforts of Winifred Proudfit and Lawrence Ritchie. When there is a better and more active class, we will be reunited again with Prof. Rice, our sponsor. 29 9. an .fm F' f' fr. .ff 5 XX... tw? EJ? fa: , 43. . -la 'Hai' 1 W ni?

To dinner, at the Yancey, the hotel of renown. Now another birthday party was brought to the Yancey that night, Which soon put Hannah Lois and Joe in a sorry plight. For you see these two had found a secluded nook In which they thought no one would look. But other eyes were watching these two As hands met, arms encircled, and who Do you suppose witnessed this 1over's --1-? You may guess some student, or the subject dismiss.

Examples of these are: the point system, the problem of conducting valuable student meetings, and the enormous athletic debt. Work done by the council to meet these difficulties has been: re- vision of the point system, improvement of the programs, and the con- ducting of numerous benefits to raise money. Other activities of the Student Council were: the sponsoring of the Football Banquet, the ar- ranging of the Freshman-Sophomore Scrap-Day, Campus Day, and the Basket Ball-Forensic Banquet. ln all of its business, the council has shown a commendable spi1'it of industry and cooperation, which has been much appreciated, especially be- cause of the difficulty of the problems Which it has had to meet.

Leslie Zum Brunnen Harold Eisele Fraazccs Shattuck Eldon Smith 151112111112 The Volante, the student's own publication, is one of the most im- portant of the many student activities at Grand Island College. The college group is always interested in the campus news and the Volante chronicles school events in a way that meets with hearty approval. While the paper is primarily devoted to college news, a considerable amount of space is open for constructive editorials and well chosen articles of interest to col- lege people. As a result, the Volante is a factor in awakening and directing college spirit and activity. A new feature, introduced this year, is a department open to signed contributions by members of the student body. This opportunity for ex- pression has been made use of by a number of students and their letters have touched a number of subjects, all of real worth to the student thought. The Volante has always ranked high as a college paper and its standard has been well carried out this year by the staff under the leader- ship of Frances Shattuck as editor with Eldon Smith assisting her. The paper has been given a distinguished rating in the 1926-1927 College Press Publication contest, sponsored by the University of Illinois. Harold Eiselc, as business manager, has given an efficient service in this important de- partment of the publication. 'I ' F' '- . .Tr xffkf-.

At the Commencement dinner fifty dollars was given to Dr. John Foote, a missionary from Japan. At the same time fifty dollars was given to the college toward a curtain for the stage of the Auditorium-Gynr nasium. Later another fifty dollars was given for the same purpose. Last spring Dorothy Olmstead spent a few days with us and informed the girls about the Industrial Experiment in Chicago last summer in which she took part. In September the Big and Little Sister plan was carried out to help the new girls feel more at home. The Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. also sponsored a Starlight Mixer to help the new students get acquainted. The Y. M. and Y. W. Christmas party was held in the Auditorium-Gymnasium. It included games, eats and presents. During the Christmas vacation the Y. W. C. A. sent Frances Shattuck to a national conference in Milwaukee. This conference has been recognized by leading religious and Y. W. C. A. people as one of the big events of the year. We also had a visit from Frances Perry, the secretary for the Rocky Mountain Region. During February Esther McGrath and Marion Graham were sent as delegates to a week-end conference in Lincoln. Our meetings this year have been varied in form and subject matter. We have tried to touch the subjects most interesting to girls. waesaaaaeaee 51 - .63 fire '-14 ' 423' 1 riff! K!! if? :'5e' ig, Y gfjs 6'f'i g 45:9 S.-SW ff, fgjw ,M is Sl?

The leading single feature of the Y. M. C. A. this year has been per- haps, the inspirational talks on various books of the Bible which have been given at one meeting each month by President Wells. He has unusual ability to find new and more vital interpretations of some of the books which are at times puzzling as to their real spiritual significance. Lloyd Richards, president, and Robert McWilliams, in charge of the program committee, began the year systematically by mapping out the whole program for the first semester. This program was carried out al- most entirely by the Y, In addition to the Bible talks, Ralph Tilley gave a report of the Estes conference which he attended last summer, Coach Uhls spoke on Sports- manship, Eldon Smith reviewed Dr. Crane's Why I Am a Christian, Paul Newell gave a talk on philosophy, the Rev.

It has stressed Christian living, Christian doing, and Christian understandingg through these three the growth of Christian character has been realized. The Life Service League has stressed Christian growth. Christian growth can best be fostered by the individual doing some definite Chris- tian work. This has always been one of the highest aims of the Life Ser- vice League. This year every member has been actively engaged in some type of work. This has strengthened the League, and each member has felt the great need of the inspirational meetings held every three weeks. The first Life Service League meeting was held at the home of Miss Hile, the sponsor. The president, Harold Eisele, had charge of the meet- ing. The value and place of the Life Service League in Grand Island Col- lege was stressed. Miss Hile impressed upon the mind of every member that Christian doing and living was the highest goal. The installation service was held at the home of Rev. and Mrs. A. C. Hull. The successive meetings have all been held in the play room of the home of Pres. and Mrs. Wells. With Esther Andersen as chairman of the program committee the League has enjoyed exceptionally fine meetings. Several visitors from the various churches of the city have spoken to the League. Among those were Pres. and Mrs. Wells, Rev. and Mrs. A. C. Hull, Mr. Howell and Rev. Ford Ellis of the Christian church. An appreciation for the hearty cooperation of Pres. and Mrs. Wells in giving us their play room is extended by the League. l -ee fir 53 T15 ,Ing Y -1 Ay 121.1 -1,-.

Cassius Conger There is a characteristic friendly and brotherly feeling that comes to an individual as soon as he enters Grand Island College, which is largely traceable to the influence of the seventy members of the Amphictyon Literary Society. Early in the history of our college, 1892 in fact, the Amphictyonic Council of the Greeks with its purpose of social union and brotherhood be- came the guiding force in the organization of the first literary society of 543 453' 5? 53' W3 479 5:7 51? fig? ' , TQ J 56 the institution. From year to year the standards established by the charter members for literary work and social pleasure have been enthusiastically accepted by new students who are ready to work for the glory of Amphic- tyon and their Alma Mater. Several enjoyable meetings have been held with our rival society, the Athenians, during the pleasant year of 1926-27. A joint meeting before the annual Christmas party was most interesting, with its varied program from the talented members of both groups. The year was started by a de- lightful mixer for the entire student body. The entertainment consisted of a program, games, and eats in the dining hall which was elaborately decorated with Amphictyon blue and tan colors and Japanese garden ef- fects. Initiation, with its dire duties, especially at Hallowe'en time, as was the case this year, is only a stepping stone to membership, and the step was bravely taken by over thirty enthusiastic new workers. The varied programs given every Friday night have been the best. The program committee planned French, Italian, Spanish, Valentine, and Shakespearian entertainments as special features. This and the other com- mittees of the society are to be commended for their loyal and conscien- tious work to make Amphictyon more worthwhile than ever. There have been debates, extemporaneous speeches and readings. The vocal trio, who have been representing the Grand Island College in several cities of Ne- braska, are Amphictyons, and the stringed trio, so popular at all scholastic affairs, are Amphic girls. Some of the comedies of the year have been, Fur and Warmer, Who Am I?, Carrying Out an Idea, and The Revolt. Early in April a play, The Arrival of Kitty, was given in the Auditorium-Gymnasium, and it was unusually successful under the coaching of our talented sponsor, Miss Hirsch. The cast was as follows: William Winkler ..... Frank Rice Bobbie Baxter -- .... Alva Cavett Benjamin Moore -- Kenneth Boyle Ting .......... ---- Donald Starr Sam .............. Harold Eisele The material goal for this year was expressed by the pledge of S250 for the curtains on the stage of the new Auditorium-Gymnasium. This pledge was partlygmet by the receipts from a benefit show, Mare NostruJn, at the Majestic Theatre. Real Amphictyon pep was demonstrated by the great number of tickets sold, and the gratifying results obtained. Speaking of pep, who will ever forget the good times, the hikes, Wiener roasts, and parties afforded? That picnic out at the Y. M. camp in the fall of '26 is an especially memorable one. It was indeed a serious disappointment during last summer to lose our sponsor, Miss Dickerman, through a fatal accident. Because of her loyalty to Amphictyon and her attitude of encouragement and help she holds a sacred place in the hearts of all who knew her. However, much of the success of this year's work is due to our faith- ful critic, Miss Hirsch. Her dramatic ability, in addition to her personality and leadership, are a decided asset to the society, and every wearer of the Amphictyon diamond shaped emblem says, I thank you! Aunt Jane ......

For a new organization the interest was very marked, and about thirty men became members. Professor Guy Morse succeeded in developing a spirit of enthusiasm, and the club gave promise of becoming a valuable asset to the college. The Men's Glee Club appeared in only two affairs: the Homecoming Banquet and the Football Banquet. The performance in each case was very com- mendable. It is to be regretted that due to conflicts of various natures other appearances could not be arranged. It is hoped that the Work of this organization can be carried on in the future, because it undoubtedly has its place among the other activities. A good Men's Glee Club is of value not only to those who hear the programs presented, but also to the members Who have gained much in instruction and practice.

Due to the fact that we have only a limited number of instruments, including first and second violins, viola and cello, We have not appeared in public very frequently. Most of the members belong to the Grand Island Symphony Orchestra and have participated in the two concerts sponsored by that organization, the Beethoven concert being one of the outstanding events of the year. At the Athenian operetta, A Maid of Tokyo, We also did our bit. We appreciate the effort put forth by Miss Pinder and we feel sure that withl an increased membership next year, we Will have an orchestra inferior to none. 60 l Top Row-Tingley, Keiss, Nitzel, VVicker, Center Row--Eaton, Cavett, Haggart, Kruse, Alexander, Means, Schleutcr.

It was at first difficult to find time in the college schedule for practice periods, and,to avoid conflict with the many other extra-curricular activities. But through the experience of Mr. Switzer, director, and his ability to arouse enthusiasm in his students, the band succeeded in adjusting itself to conditions, and judging from corn- ments heard at the various concerts, is doing exceptionally well. Altho formed too late in the season to play at the football games, the organization appeared at the Football Banquet and at seven of the home basket ball games. It also accompanied the team to Kearneyg it gave brief concerts at the high schools of Doniphan and Ravenna, and two in our home chapel. Social activities included several rehearsals at the Switzer studios, with luncheon and entertainment furnished by the members. These were under the direction of a committee of two: Otho Means and Alva B. Cavett. Similar affairs were enjoyed at the homes of Phillips, Haggart, and Schleu- ter, members of the band.

There is a large diversity of interests among the students, some are interested in football, some in debating, some in if chemistry, some in the literary societiesg and some have elasticity enough Elf, to make a creditable showing in several activities. l ' if When sufficient students become interested in some college activity to justify it there is an organization formed to promote this phase of col- in lege life and to represent the fraternal feeling whichlcommon interest en- gjj' genders. But strangely enough there was no society organized for those who made general, all-round scholarship the paramount interest in college agp... until 1924 when a group of students decided that there was an interest in LL? scholarship among several of the students which should be represented by 45,3 an organization. They accordingly organized the Alpha Sigma Pi with 5-U Gladys McDonald, Margaret Firth, Ruth Shattuck, Carter Simpson and Esther Hile, sponsor, as charter members. ,egg Alpha stands for ability, Sigma for scholarship, and Pi for personali- 'JW ty. Membership is based on general ability and personality as well as 5:35 scholarship because the virtue of scholarship is so greatly enhanced by 'lj these other characteristics. gif Alpha Sigma Pi has but one regular social meeting each year-the initiation of the newly elected members in the spring. There is, however, a 4 igl' fy fraternal feeling fostered by the organization among its members by the wearing of the emblemg the occasional meetings, and the knowledge of a . common interest. . fl, -' Rf: ' Q3-H' '- ,'-4- .ta .

The purpose of the fraternity is to promote a mastery of Written expression, to encourage 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. It was through the efforts of Miss Lillian Steckman, former head of the English department, and member of the national advisory council of 5 . 9 - L.- N fa 63 - r 1 v r 1 l , X bl? r' 1 l 'if 1 N 5 Awe is YQ Q W 1 Q '?

The charter members of Beta Alpha chapter arc: Pauline Farabee, Mary Goldenstein, Aubrey Hurlbert, Wayland Rice, LaVerne Loos and Eldon Smith. During the three years of its existence Beta Alpha Chapter has ac- complished 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. Last year the organization sponsored an entertainment by Bess Gear- hardt Morrison, a reader of national repute, and this undertaking was also very successful. Two new faculty members, professors Hirsch and Stabley, have been elected to membership this year and have added much interest and in- struction to the regular meetings in which they have participated. Sigma Tau Delta has done much in. the past three years to promote interest in the mastery of written expression and a knowledge of litera- ture, and looks forward to a future development in accordance with the ideals expressed by the key-words: Sincerity, Truth, Design.

Knox, Coach Newell Hamlyn Zllnrvnaira Debate this year was featured by the introduction of an innovation. The season was opened with a triangular debate between York, Kearney, and Grand Island. The agreement was such that each school debated every other school in the group twice and each time before a neutral audienceg that is, Grand Island debated Kearney at York and York at Kearney. Kearney and York debated each other in Grand Island. Decisions were rendered by audience votes. Although the system this year did not appear to be without faults yet it is believed that in the future the audience-de- cision plan may become an integral part of our forensic program. Besides these audience-decision debates Grand Island had debates with Wesleyan, Cotner, Hastings and Central. These debates were the regular old grind contests decided by three judges. Besides this Grand Island had the privilege of meeting the representatives of the College of Emporia, Kansas. Men from this school won the national championship at the 1926 Pi Kappa Delta Convention at Estes Park. The visitors presented a clear, 65 C logical case delivered with a good deal of polish and won the vote of two of the three local judges. All the above mentioned debates were on the question: Resolved, that the principles of the McNeary-Haugen Bill should be enacted into a federal law. As a post-season feature the College held a special debate with the University of Wyoming. This debate was unique in that the question was not announced until twelve hours before the debate. At that time the de- baters began work and prepared their case. Debate this year was coached by Prof. W. A. Knox. Miss Miller again acted as Business Manager. The negative team included Harold Eisele, Frank Rice, Ervin Williams and Chester Windolph. The affirmative was upheld by Paul Newell, Lloyd Richards, Joseph Alicata and Robert Hamlyn. Grand Island College was represented this year in oratory by Paul B. Newell. His oration was entitled, Our Quest, and was a discussion of the difficulties and rewards of idealism. Mr. Newell worked hard at his selec- tion and the College is grateful to him for his efforts in representing it in the State Oratorical contest. 66 ' fir 'ill' 'la it 545.51 5? 51' 15? 621 QE cffg ,J Af S13 ill 533 -R+, gi ggi Qi ai. .V 5.3 SIL 55 ' 1, 3, and +57 1 f..

It recognizes four degrees of proficiency in the art of public speak- QP9 ing based upon experience and success in intercollegiate contests. It not only provides a chance for experience in debating and public speaking at 'lj its conventions but the conventions themselves provide for the meeting gas and association of men and women over the entire state who are interested if in this sort of activity. It provides a national question upon which all Q3 schools are prepared to debate. It provides a list of accredited judges from V ji which judges can be selected to judge any particular debate. Through its quarterly magazine it provides a chance for a national forum on forensic T matters. ig? For the first time the national Pi Kappa Delta held provincial conven- fax tions this year. These provincial conventions are held every other year so that they will fall on the years between the large, biennial, national con- ventions. In this way the interest and enthusiasm will be kept up in the 52 years which have no general convention. Ours is the Province of the Platte, including Nebraska and Colorado. It met at Hastings this year. iii? e 1. 4 e iii il? if? J? Q 13 ii? fi? ii? 67 it fi?

Glhvminirg Glluh The Chemistry Club was organized four years ago for the purpose ol' creating interest along the lines of Chemical investigation. The club met once every two Weeks and many interesting papers were read before the society. Mr. William McGrath gave the first paper of the year on Urine Analysis. He mentioned the percentage composition of normal urine, and the method of analysis. He also spoke of abnormal urine, the abnormali- ties being direct symptoms of body disorders. A paper on the Ultra Violet Ray was read by Dr. Woodin. He told of its curing effects on rickets and tuberculosis, and that many children of underweight may be brought up to normal by direct exposure to these rays. With the aid of illustrative slides, Prof. Coatney presented a very in- structive lecture, The Protozoa of the Oral Cavity. He stated that there were four kinds of these animals, three being unharmful, but a fourth causing a very fatal disease called, Vincent's Angina. The Chemistry Club endeavors to make each one of its meetings as in- structive as possible, with an effort to remove the arid atmosphere that usually makes science uninteresting and boresome. . 5? ff? 69 ' x ei' iz-.N If 1 wily!

True to their motto, Sports, Spirit, Service, Stripettesf' they have suc- cessfully created a large amount of pep and enthusiasm among the stu- dents. They have served their college in various other ways as, sponsoring college banquets, backing the football boys with spirited cheering, and assisting the basket ball and track teams, as a group of cadets by present- ing drills, which created an enormous amount of pep, A large amount of credit is due them as salesladies, selling tickets for benefit shows, plays, and other activities. It is the desire of the organization to serve the college, not only by creating enthusiasm and college spirit, but also to leave some marked evi- dence of having raised the standards. On account of the restrictions against girls taking part in competitive athletics, there has been no way in which a girl might earn the privilege of wearing an official college letter: In order to give the girls a chance to earn a letter, a new plan of physical activity has been introduced into the department. This plan is patterned after that of the Woman's Athletic Association at the University of Nebraska, and is sponsored by the Athletic Conference of American College Women, of which Grand Island College is a member. -. , --n ,nj v.-'-. - f. . ,-,,.,,,-i.,,., ..,1j'w.j+s'fgf.p3-lit'-f -'l', 4 ,Z 1 .Q 1 . .f .iw .aw iw -ir 70 Glahrtz One of the new organizations at Grand Island College this year is the Cadets, Whose purpose is to liven up the old Zebra spirit. In their white uniforms, the Cadets put on a stunt at nearly every basketball game. These stunts consisted of intricate marching drills, floor wheels, and folk dances. The Cadets were also seen at the track meets and other College affairs. The girls were chosen from the regular membership of the Stripettes with regard to their marching ability and College spirit. Much credit is extended to the College Band, which furnished the necessa1'y music 5 and to the girls' physical education instructor, Mrs. F. A. Rush, the organizer and sponsor of the Cadets.

Qlluh The third year of the G. I. Club, under the direction of Charles Foster, has been a busy one for most of its members. The new club room has been attractively furnished in wicker, and more is to be added in the future. The Prince Chap, a joint play given by the G. I. Club and Stripettes was very well received. The Stripettes sold a greater number of tickets than the G. I. meng so a party for the Stripettes is forthcoming at the G. I. Club's expense. A few weeks later the Club enjoyed an oyster supper served in the gymnasium by several expert cooks of the organization. During the invitation basketball tournament the G. I. Club members acted as hosts to the contending teams and helped very materially in the success of this new venture. 72 l 'S ' w ' m Eisele Haynes Thaler Richards Beal McWilliams F. Shattuck Panzer L.

On the evening of November 6, 1926, the new Collins Memorial Gym- nasium was opened to the friends of Grand Island College as a climax to Home-coming Day. The soft, rose-shaded lamps, the candle-lit tables and the admirable ap- pointments of the gymnasium made a most pleasing impression upon the two hundred and fifty guests who gathered within its hospitable walls. During the evening the trustees, represented by Mr. Wolbach, presented the G. I. Club and the Stripettes each a room in which to carry on their particular activities. A most enjoyable program of music and readings brought the evening to a close. Grand Island is fortunate and Grand Island College is honored by having two G. I. C. men heading the two Junior Highs of the city, Mr. Howard Finley as Principal of Walnut, and Mr. Elias Starr of Barr. The fact that both are carrying on their work in the spirit of high-minded Christian gentlemen has elicited much favorable comment from patrons of these schools and reflects honor upon the college. Professor Herschel Hewitt, '04, professor of Chemistry at Linfield College, is spending a year of study at Reed College, Portland, Oregon. Professor Hoyt Hudson, formerly of Grand Island, visited the college and gave a brief chapel talk, being called here by the death of his mother in April, 1926.

Ilhinthall---1525 The first call for footl all was answered by about forty men which in- cfuded many Freshmen. Two weeks of hard practice was all the Zebras had before their first game. A long journey was taken to Denver, Colorado, where a battle with St. Regis followed. Several thousand people saw the stubborn defense of the Zebras hold their powerful opponents to a 7-0 victory. The Battle of Hastings followed the next week, which was the first conference game for both teams. The Bronchos won in the last minute on a pass, 6-0. The game with York was not the brand of football demonstrated at Denver. The kick-off started with G. I. receiving and then its offense began but the Zebras soon lost the ball on downs. Both teamsf seemed to lack the vital punch to win. The game ended 0-0. Omaha Uni. was met the following week. The Zebras were not to be stopped and ran wild. Their offense started with a smashing, ripping at- tack. The defense was like a stone wall. The game ended 22-0 with G. I. U. the victor. Central came over with a long standing grudge against the Zebras. G. I. started its offense as in the previous game and smashed down the field for gain after gain. A Quaker end picked up a fumble under his goal and ran ninety-five yards for a touch-down. This was a turning point of the game for the Quakers who won for the first time in several years, 14-0.

Foster Ziaakvthall---1925 -1927 Playing for the first year in their new gym, the Zebra basket tossers Went through a successful season. Though they didn't win any conference title, they did make their strength felt throughout the state. Of the fif- teen conference tilts, seven were Won, and eight lost, giving the team a percentage of .467. This may not be a high rating, but it is far from poor for a team made up of two Sophomores and three Freshmen. Two other men earned letters, one being a Freshman and the other a Sophomore. Without a doubt, the greatest find of the season was Cunningham, our diminutive guard. Though only about 5 feet 3 inches in height he proved a Wonder on defense and a very clever offensive player. McElroy, also a Freshman, played a regular guard position on the team until he left to attend school in the East. Coach Uhls deserves much credit for his Work with the team. His policy of fight till the last whistle won more than one game. Much credit r Q -fp? if 1255 if '34 ff? iff 49 fit 85 f, :fl iff? ag PM Ya F 5375 W rl-. If 13' F573 Sz! Je? in W, . ff?

With the return of these men next year, Grand Island should have a team second to none. Eennia The tennis season of 1926-27 was successful in view of the facts that increasing numbers of students took to the pastime, that new courts were installed, that new provisions were made by the Athletic Council for the development of the game locally, and that a new varsity, still in the bibs of inexperience, made a favorable impression throughout the state. The team representing the college - Johanson fCaptainJ, Panzer, Shaffer and McGrath-won all its contests but one. Concordia proved too formidable on its own courts, but her team met defeat here after a valiant effort upon the part of our singles champion. York was defeated twice, Kearney once, at this writing the match with Hastings, aswell as the state intercollegiate championship tournament at Lincoln, has not been played The prospects for next year are good. The team consists of yearlings and Sophomores, so that it is not unreasonable to look for a state cham- pionship by 1928 or 1929. 'N' ' s.s'1 'v- N'w sr rv 'xi ff uf-1 mf 3' .
