Svtripvttea The Grand Island College Stripettes, known as the peppiest organi- zation in the Middle West, is much stronger this year than ever before. 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

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!

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.
