With age his activity asserted it- self less and less, but his humor and keen wit remained. His insatiable interest in literature and current affairs brought him often to the library. Here, every student in the school learned to admire and respect him. To us he was the living expression of that noble spirit which impelled our fathers to found this college and to sustain it through every hardship. R0 THE ISLANDER f ss V, aa..

THE ISLANDER 03 Faculty Club The Faculty Club, composed of the college faculty and the Wives of married members, was organized eight years ago. The purpose of the Club is to promote sociability and to foster mutual interest in the work of var- ious 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. T The Club had its first meeting of the year at Hibbs Hall with Presi- dent Wells as speaker of the evening. He gave a very instructive paper on Abnormal Psychology, relating the various schools of that subject and methods of treating mental diseases. The second meeting was held in December at the home of Prof. and Mrs. Titt. Prof. Coatney gave a lecture on the expeditions of Roy Chap- man Andrews in Mongolia, using some of the material in his book, On the Trail of Ancient Man. Prof. Hinton, who has recently returned from Burma, read a paper at the January meeting on The Education in Burma. It was interesting to note that education in Burma is a Department of State and is provided for in the regular budget. The range of education is from kindergarten to post graduate work. Prof. and Mrs. McDonald were hosts at this meeting. In February the Club met at the home of Prof. and Mrs. Knox. Miss Negley read The Maker of Dreams, a three-act fantasy. Mr. A. B. Newell, a prominent business man of the city, gave the paper at the March meeting held at the home of Pres. and M1's. Wells. Mr. Newell spoke on the Changes in the Banking System of the United States. The activities of the Club for 1927-28 will close with a spring picnic in May. During the present year Prof. Knox is president and Miss Peder- son secretary of the Club. f3U 1928 ... .?UfK I ,Q V, ll fl 1 E T -fl ' -J, fE7jxmGY-fi, Q.: e 1 I 1 , hi , 1 W F, A Q A 4 x::LJl' 5 W . h ff if 'J EZ:-EWVJ' WD WV y xv Eff , U Wjfii X, .. , X qi Hx i VW lf!

Senior Class In 1924 about seventy young and enthusiastic Freshmen entered Grand Island College, preparatory to making their mark in the World. Professor Rice was chosen to sponsor this class. Among their first suc- cessful achievements under the leadership of President Hayter was the defeat of the Sophomores on Class Day. As they settled down to the regular work of the college, individual members of the class began to dis- play their abilities along various lines-a number being successful in Foot- ball and Track and some in Forensics. Social affairs were numerous and interesting. About sixty returned the following year to take up the duties of the Sophomore class. Again members of the class won fame in Football, Bas- ket Ball, Track and Debating. The G. I. Club, the Stripettes, Kappa Omi- cron Beta and Sigma Tau Delta all numbered Sophomores in their mem- berships. One outstanding event of the year was the initiation of the Dean's new barn by the class. A Freshman-Sophomore Valentine party held at the Liederkranz was very successful. In the Fall of '26, twenty-two Juniors responded to the roll call of their Alma Mater-many of the class taking up the profession of teaching and others, that of home-making. F. A. Rush was Captain of the Football Team, and Douglas Hayman, Captain of the Track Team. Another o1'gani- zation was represented by members of the class, three being elected mem- bers of Alpha Sigma Pi. The Islander was the outstanding work of the year-on which all Juniors concentrated their energy. Commencement Day was saddened by the deaths of Glenn Beal, a prominent member of the class, who failed to rally following an operation. Some members of the class decided to take their last year's work at the University, and some entered the teaching profession. New additions were made to the class, however, bringing the enrollment to twenty-three. Our first social affair, as Seniors, was a party at the home of our sponsor. Just preceding Christmas vacation a caroling party was held, followed by an oyster stew at the G. I. Candy Kitchen. As we are approaching Commencement time and look with anticipa- tion to the future, we also look back over our college days with the hap- piest of recollections. We wish to express our appreciation to our sponsor, Professor Rice, and Mrs. Rice for the good times, as well as the inspiration and help for which they have been responsible throughout these four years. 50 CQ,WP THE ISLANDER JOHN CIEMN Y Elyria Amphictyong Y.

Freshmen-college Freshmen this time. They accepted gracefully the stigma attached traditionally to their lowly station, conscious always of the superficiality of their oppressors. When the time came to assert them- selves they modestly did so by winning the class scrap and forcing the campus activities to operate under a banner of a new and strange device. Having asserted themselves in formal combat, the class of '29 pro- ceeded to show its magnanimity by doing great and Worthy deeds to honor the name of the college that had doubted it. Its members inaugurated the there-to-fore unknown practice of Sophomores defeating Freshmen in the class scrap and claim no responsibility in the noticeable lapse of this re- form since their time. The victors again displayed their generous and for- giving spirits by joining the vanquished in a three-course Wiener roast at Schimmer's lake where all animosity was buried. Disinterment of said animosity might serve to rescue the time honored class scrap from the langour into which it has fallen since the days of the twenty-niners. But to bring this chronicle up to date. The class did not suffer the usual curtailment of membership after their second year, and began work with thirty-five, sixteen of whom were: of the original stock. Merrill Youell was chosen executive and members of the class who have been in positions to need his co-operation can testify that he's been the kind of a president a president ought to be. This being the term wherein it is customary for Juniors to break into the publishing game, Elma Buchanan was elected Editor and Esther McGrath, Business Manager of the Islander. Now for a peek into the golden book of the college. We find that the Juniors cover the pages. In athletic, scholastic, and religious work they have done nobly and well. Many of them have been leaders of societies promoting the extra-curricular life of the school. In 1927, Myron Rum- mery served as President of the Y. M. C. A., Harold Eislie as President of the Life Service, Paul Goodwin as Editor of the Volante, Esther McGrath as President of Sigma Tau Delta, and Paul Nitzel was elected as Captain of the 1928 football team. The social events of the class have been characteristically informal- the time, the place, the right gang. The industry of the students has been so marked that to assemble them the President has often found it neces- sary to make an announcement of a business meeting. Theatre parties, valentine parties, and just parties have so well organized the class that every member regrets the departure of several -who they know will not return in the autumn of 1928. 1928 THE ISLANDER 1928 'WILLARD ANDERSON Oakland Atheniang Chemistry Club.

The worth of a class to a college is measured by its participation in and support of all the activities deemed necessary to make a college collegiate. To begin with A, athletically the Sophomore class undoubtedly ex- cels all other classes. The placing of six men on the football squad gave them a certain importance in the estimation of Coach Uhls. In the fairly successful basket ball season, the Sophomore class scored a winner by placing five men on the team, a feat rarely duplicated in college history. In track the Sophomore men have proved the value of athletic training in other activities. Not only are the second year men capable of co-operating with representatives of other classes in ranking Grand Island a college among colleges, but also have showed a bit of sectional independence in inter-class contests. Thinking that the winning of the intra-basket ball tournament would be a proper expression of class ego, the Sophomore men promptly annexed it. To the project of a winning debating team, the Class contributed Mr. Rice and Mr. Parker. Others of the class worked in the Glee Club, in Mr. Switzer's band, in fact every organization in the college has felt the prom- inence of this group. If any deficiency were to be sought to bind this re- markable class to sordid earth, there might be mentioned a certain lack of class social functions. This fault owes its being to the popularity of class members in all other activities rather than to any hermitical ten- dencies on their part. ' The class of '30 hopes to be more fortunate in retaining their mem- bers than many second year classes are. However, whatever the quantity, the college can depend on the quality of next year's class, the same old stuff, only more so. CLASS OFFICERS President .........................

We look upon the Freshman year as' an excellent be- ginning of this preparation. We had a little fear of college at first, but we lost that when we found a welcome from the students who had been here before. We want those students to know that we appreciated their en- couragement, for it was a great help when we met disappointments in the starting of our college careers. We began our year of activities by defeating the Sophomores in the annual class scrap. After this and the excitement of hazing, we thought of the more serious, and selected the activities in which we would partici- pate. We have taken a prominent part in sports. Nearly half the football squad were Freshmen. In basket ball and track we have played our part. Although the Sophomores won the inter-class basket ball tournament the Freshmen led them to a fast game. In other activities also we have been represented. The literary socie- ties welcomed us into membership. The musical abilities of the class are seen by the representation in the glee club, the orchestra and the band. Several members of the debate teams are Freshmen. Our literary talents have been shown in many issues of the Volante. We thought our Fresh- man issue was a masterpiece. Many members and officers of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. are Freshmen. In scholarship our class stands high. In the hurry of college life we have had time for few social activities, but on November 11, we held our Freshman party, and enjoyed a relief from diligent study. On April 2, the Sophomores entertained us as the winners of the contest in September. Among our members will be found the future leaders of the college, for already we have begun to assume such responsibilities. We thank those who have made it possible for us to attend Grand Island College, and look forward to 1931 hoping that we may graduate with the best of training and the highest of ideals. 1928 THE ISLANDER DCK K 1 CQ? f kg M F YK Qff f Y , M M9 W, ...5 - kg X WJ QMS 5 Xi M31Eiwi1TPiQS --l-2' 1928 B3 THE ISLANDER Student Council The Student Council is an organization elected by the student group to represent the body in all matters concerning it. The Council in co- operation with the faculty has charge of local and state oratorical con- tests, inter-collegiate debates, the Volante, and athletic contests. Through its officers and committees the Council makes arrangements for carrying on the ordinary student activities. Members of the Council serve during one school year, being elected at the close of the previous year. One of the enjoyable affairs of the first of the year was Home Com- ing, November 5, with a football game between Doane and Grand Island. The Home Coming banquet was one of the outstanding events of the year. The Council appreciates the loyal support of the Stripettes in helping to make Home Coming a success. A carnival, a benefit movie, and two plays were sponsored by the Council, yielding a reasonable profit which was added to the student ac- tivity fund. Other activities sponsored by the Council were: college day, the basket ball and forensic banquet, and the all school picnic. The Council for 1927-28 was organized as follows: President ........................... F. A. Rush Vice-President ..................... Esther Rice Secretary ........ ..............

Paul Goodwin was elected editor, and managed its publication the first semester. During the second semester the paper was edited by various organizations. The Sophomore class, Freshman class, Amphictyon literary society, Athenian literary so- ciety, Sigma Tau Delta, and Junior class each sponsored one issue. Harold Eisele served as business manager throughout the year. Professors Laurene Steven and W. T. McDonald were faculty advisors. The staff of The Volante is essentially a volunteer staff. A number of persons have co-operated with the editor in making the paper a success. Students to whom special credit is due for their work are: Thelma Wil- lahan, Elma Buchanan, Madge Axford, John Ciemny, and Dean Goodwin. As a four page, five column paper, The Volante was issued bi-weekly. The object of the staff was to make it conform, as nearly as their limited working time would permit, to the highest standards of college jour- nalism. Its space was devoted to campus news, College events, sports, alumni news, editorials, feature articles, original humor, and meritorious stories from the English department. The name of The Volante is not a common one. It is pronounced vo-lahn-tay, with the accent on the second syllable. Being Spanish in origin, the name was first applied to an American newspaper ini New Orleans a century ago. The word has many meanings, but the one from which the newspaper derived its name is a short writing or manuscript easily disseminated: it generally contains some satire or libel. The aim of The Volante, however, has been to serve the best interests of Grand Island College through its services as a newspaper and promoter. 0315-91923 UH' U4- c-Q-in THE ISLANDER .-lm James Simpson Prof. Essic Lou Earp Francis Rickelf Bert Phillips Gladis Kincaid Athenians Officers for the year: President ....... --- James Simpson Vice-President .... --- Frances Rickert Secretary ....... ......

It then had twelve charter members. Since that time the society has attained a mem- bership of seventy. The general purpose of the club is to permit oppor- tunity for expression and development of literary talent, and to gain for Q, 1928 li THE ISLANDER ---U3 its members ease and ability to appear in public. Evidence that this pur- pose is quite fully realized is found in the number of Athenians who have participated in debates, oratory, and glee club work. Previous to this year the Society has met once. each week. It was de- cided that because of the various other school interest of its members it had become impossible to continue the same high standard in programs if they were to be given weekly. The motion was passed to hold meetings every two weeks. Aside from the opportunity given for individual performance, the students have received experience and pleasure in study of the possibilities of the one-act play. The central attraction of each meeting is the pro- duction of some work of this kind. The plays presented during the year were: Bargain Day, Neigh- bors, Another Pair of Spectacles, Twenty Minutes Under an Um- brella. Vocal selections were given by: James Simpson, Arlee Andre, Esther Rice, Evelyn Lindburg, Mrs. George Dahlstrom, Helen Starr, Margaret Fulton, Blanche Rasmussen, Laura Pinkston, Glennys Knox. Among our pianists were Eleanor Neumayer, Glennys Knox, Lucille Smith, Carrie Boyle and Paul Shattuck. Violin solos were played by Pearl Wells and Henrich Hull, Francelia Thomas gave the musical monologue, Only a Husband, and Francis Rickert the musical reading, Hats The orchestra, under the direction of Leonard Switzer, played several numbers. Readings were given by: Robert Chamberlain, Elma Buchanan, Francis Rickert, Madge Axford, My1'011 Rumery, Mrs. Arlee Andre, Mary Alice Campbell, and Era Richards. Papers of a literary nature were presented by Paul Goodwin, Avis Alden, Paul Parker, Dean Goodwin, Pearl Wells, Madge Axford, Eleanor N eumayer, Evelyn Lindburg, Glennys Knox. When the Athenian Society was first organized one of the major events of interest on their programs was the debate. Interest in this form of combat seems to have abated. In the one contest of this nature this year, however, there was great display of interest and enthusiasm. The debate was extemporaneousg the debators: Raymond Jess, Chester Win- dolph, Myron Rumery, and Walter Eldridge 5 the question, Resolved: were one stranded in an African jungle, hanging on to a tiger's tail, it would be better to let go than to hang on. As one may see from this resume, the aim of the Society is to give pleasure to a diversified group, specialization in each line of art, but a variety of types. .U 1928 lm n Tl-IES ISLANDER Mildred Pearson Prof. Laurene Steven Laurence Ritchie Frank Rice Merrill Youell - Norma.

At that time an invitation was extended to the new students to join the society. After the election of the new members the next thing was initiation. This affair is still a secret deep and dark. Twenty members were taken into the society, making a membership of sixty. The programs have been varied and have included all members. The plays produced were: ' Red Roses, The Least of These, The Doo Funny Family, and The Light Went Out. Readings, instrumental and vocal music, news journals, extempo debates, etc., have been cleverly com- bined by the program committee to make each meeting well balanced. It was the privilege of the Amphictyon five to beat the Athenians 15 to 4 in a little friendly game of basket ball. Upon another occasion the two societies joined forces in giving a real old fashioned box social.

Winifred Proudfit Eldon Smith 1 Alpha Sigma Pi Until 1924 there was no definite honorary society in Grand Island College, having as its membership students especially interested in gen- eral, all-around scholarship. At that time the Alpha Sigma Pi fraternity was organized, basing membership upon a three-fold requirement-ability, scholarship, and personality. Many societies have recognized ability along special lines, but this fraternity represents students conforming to the above requirements. Alpha stands for ability, Sigma for scholarship, and Pi for personality. If, at the end of five semesters' resident Work, a student's grades are above ninety per cent, and his attitude is one of leadership and co-operation, he is eligible for election. The charter members of this organization are: Gladys McDonald, Margaret Firth, Ruth Shattuck, Carter Simpson, and Esther Hile, sponsor. From the Class of 1925 are Edith and Floy Boston, and Roy Rehder. From '26, Minnie Caress, Wayland Rice and Doris Hudson. From '27 are Esther Anderson, Lucille Rogers, LaVerne Loos and Robert McWilliams., In the spring of 1927, Margaret Roeufelt, Winifred Proudfit, Mildred Pearson, Eldon Smith, and Joseph Alicata were initiated into the fellowship of Alpha Sigma Pi. , OFFICERS President ........-.-.........

The purpose of the national honorary forensic fraternity, Pi Kappa Delta, is the promotion of intercollegiate o1'atory, debate, and public speaking, by encouraging a spirit of intercollegiate fellowship, or brotherly co-operation and interest. Numerous chapters of Pi Kappa Delta are scattered over the United States. Grand Island College has the Epsilon chapter of the province of the Platte. There have been only five active members this past year, but the next year will be begun with several more. The year has bee11 a suc- cessful one, but With the increased membership for next year it is hoped that Pi Kappa Delta will make its influence more strongly felt on the ca.1npus. Students are beginning to realize the manifold benefits to be gained by training in debate, both in acquiring ease and effectiveness in stage appearances, and in developing a sense of logic which cannot but prove useful to any citizen. Pi Kappa Delta is an organization for those who feel more than a casual interest in those interests for which it stands, who see in its principles elements relative to those of their future Work.

There was not an over-abundance of interest mani- fest, but two men's teams and two girls' teams were selected. The first debate of the season took place at Hastings early in Feb- ruary. The remaining debates occurred in the following order: a dual debate with York college, a dual with Nebraska Central, a dual with Kear- ney, and a final dual with Cotner. The girls' team closed the season with a debate with the Doane College Champion Girls' Team. The question for debate this year was very well balanced, leaving much to be said on each side. It was, Resolved: that the United States should cease to protect capital invested in foreign countries by armed force, except after formal declaration of war. The teams were coached this year by Prof. H. E. Hinton with very creditable results. The men's team ended the season with fifteen votes for them and fifteen against them. The girls' team had two votes against and none in favor of them. It may be stated that this was Grand Island Col- lege's first girls' team in debate. The scarcity of teams in their class made it possible for the girls to arrange only one debate, so the results of their season in terms of victories had to be 100W or none at all. In terms of benefit and experience gained from the work, the girls' debate team has proved a success. The girl debators were: Madge Axford, Ruth Bryan, Mildred Pear- son, and Thelma Gregory. The men's team consisted of: Wayne Christensen, Dean Goodwin, Robert Chamberlain, and Paul Parker. Affirmative: Frank Rice, William Ferguson. Negative: Chester Windolph, Truman Frownfelter. ..-...iqy5'gw.9 1928 THE ISLANDER Mildred Pearson Prof. H. E. Hinton Robert Chamber lain Frank Rice Forensic Club The Forensic Club was organized this year at a meeting of the men's and women's debate teams. For some time the need of an organization in our school for the promotion of greater interest in forensic activities, has been evident. With this in mind, the Forensic Club was established on February 6, 1928. A constitution was drawn up whereby any student in Grand Island College who is interested in debate, oratory, or extemporaneous speaking is eligible to the Club. All effort along these lines requires much time and training in concise thinking, clear expression and good poise--qualities desired by all students. It is the View of the Forensic Club that an appre- ciation and recognition of these worthwhile functions means much to the growth of Grand Island College. We believe that forensic activities will successfully continue through an enthusiastic spirit and sincere support. The charter members of the Club are: Robert Chambe1'lain, Frank Rice, Mildred Pearson, Madge Axford, Thelma Gregory, Ruth Bryan, Tru- man Frownfelter, Wayne Christensen, Chester Windolph, William Fergu- son, Paul Parker, and Dean Goodwin.

Those favored eighteen well knew the uncertainty of their places, and were assured of others who could easily step in if necessary. Another ruling which proved satisfactory, for the treasury, was the encumbrance of fines for absentees or tardiness to rehearsal and appearances. What member did not forego eats, etc., to dash in just as the secretary began calling the roll. The Club began work on the numbers for both sacred and secular con- certs, making their first appearances before the District Teachers Conven- tion, held in Grand Island. A five day trip was taken between semesters. Concerts were given during the year at Marquette, Clay Center, Gibbon, Oxford, Holdrege, Wilsonville, Juniata, Polk, Trumbull, Hastings, and Stromsburg.

The following are some of the papers presented during the year: The History of Solution, by Norma Bakerg The Chemistry of the Olfactory and Gustatory Sacs, by Gladis Kincaidg The Relation of Chemistry to Medicine, by Laurence Ritchieg Rayon, by Vera Tilleyg and an inter- pretation of a chart of the Periodic Table, by Prof. Titt. Other papers of merit were on subjects of various but related interests. The Club is composed of students Who are really interested in the sub- ject and who are willing to spend some time in reading and preparing to give as Well as receive information. Reading of scientific magazines and keeping up on new discoveries and inventions in the field is especially en- couraged by discussions held at the meetings. This year the Club has been well attended, and a greater interest is being shown by those presuming to make chemistry or some related science their major interest. 1928 1.-in E1l CQ,f,P THE ISLANDER --lflg First lllilow-Royal Cunnimgiam, Edward Panzer, Merle Haynes, Bert Phillips, Howard Tingley, Douglas . .

Club The purpose of the G. I. Club is to promote interest in athletics and to create a feeling of good will and unity among the athletes who repre- sent the college. Through the efforts of the Club, Grand Island College's athletic activity has become known to be straightfowvard and sports- manly to a high degree. - This is the fourth year of the Club and few of the charter members are still in college. As in most organizations there remains each year a few of the old order to stabilize the new group and keep foremost the ideals with which the first order was established. The G. I. Club carries out its ideals in a very- practical way. One of its aims is to create interest in athletics. For this purpose it sponsored the showing of a moving picture of the Grand Island College team in ac- tion. Q, This film was shown at a local theatre. The high school basket ball tournament is evidently a good thing for the college and the Club gave their willing support to this project. The high school boys were enter- tained by members of the Club and got a little taste of what college life and college athletics are. The Club meets on Wednesday 11ights in the club room at the gym- nasium, light refreshments are served, and programs, athletic and other- wise, are carried out. The officers of the Club for 1927-28 are: President ........................ Merle Haynes Vice-President ........ .......... F . A. Rush Secretary-Treasurer t ...........

That's the impression the ob- server gets of the Stripettes. Our aim is to develop more fully the school life of our members, and to help further any school project that needs our co-operation. Our membership is extended to any girl interested in athletics and desiring to participate in our activities. The club is composed of two groups, active and social members. The governing body consists of Presi- dent, Vice-President, Secretary-Treasurer, Sports Manager, and Sergeant- at-Arms. Under the capable leadership of Mrs. F. A. Rush, our sponsor, many worthwhile things have been accomplished this year. The Stripettes managed the carnival for the benefit of the Athletic Association. They have had charge of several pep-meetings, at which much originality and wit were displayed. During the High School Basket Ball tournament, the group managed an Eats stand in their club room. The girls enjoyed the work and the funds thus obtained were used to send the Cadets to Fremont and to Broken Bow. One of the new accomplishments of the organization has been the monthly Coffees and Teas which they have sponsored. Each of these was a means of creating social ties among the entire student body. It is the desire of every Stripette to do everything possible to promote school interest, school spirit, and school fellowship. The Stripettes is a growing organization, not only in members, but also in accomplishments. Every year We add to our aims and put into practice new principles which will have a deep and lasting influence on each girl who chooses G. I. C. as her Alma Mater.

That's the Cadets as they appear when drilling' at football contests, basket ball games, and at track meets. This is the second year that the organization has been at work and it bids fair to become one of the most popular on the campus. Members are selected for their marching, as well as for their ability to take and execute commands, their reliability, and their desire to up- hold the standards of the group.. The membership is limited to twenty- four. On March 24, the Cadets presented perhaps their most difficult and pleasing drill before the Association of Church Schools at Fremont, Nebr. d 91928 03 THE ISLANDER 03 Irwin Peterson Myron Rumery Harold Hauke Paul Parker Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. feels that its greatest service to the college consists in its bringing to our campus men of experience and education to speak on subjects pertaining to the ideals of our generation and the future prob- lems to be met. Among these men were: Dr. Woodin, who spoke on the subject, Divine Guidanceg' F. C. Stevenson, the State Student Secretary, who made several visits during the yearg Mr. Alden, of New York City, who is with the Foreign Mission Society, delivered an address called, We Will Be Remembered By What We Do. Several of the meetings were led by members of our own society. Laurence Ritchie gave an interesting discussion on Prayer Paul Good- win conducted another meeting, and Paul Parker and Dean Goodwin, dele- gates to the Dad Elliott Conference held at Cotner College in November, gave reports of the subjects considered at this meeting. The Y. M. has been co-operating with the Y. W. C. A. in conducting mid-week meetings in the form of discussions and talks by students. A few other speakers have also been procured to address these group gath- erings. The officers for the year were: President ............... .... M yron Rumery Vice-President .... ....

However, the spirit of unity established by the breakfast for the old and new cabinet members soon after gave each girl confidence in herself and assurance of the aid and co-operation of her fellow officers. During Commencement the annual May Pageant was presented under the supervision of Professor Harriet Anderson. Mildred Pearson was crowned Queen of the May. Pearl and Lela Wright, Ethel Bice, Mildred Pearson and Ruth Bryan attended the conference at Estes and were much pleased by the beneficial instruction received. , The continuation of the Big and Little Sister plan made the first days of college life pleasanter for many a freshman girl. Surely the Y. W. C.

The need of actual training for effectual Work in this field has long been recognized. To meet that need Grand Island College has for some years fostered this organization, the members of which have in mind future Work in the religious department. These members have been engaged in Christian activities in the city and elsewhere when opportunity has of- fered. While emphasizing those qualities of sincerity and devotion so neces- sary to religious instructors, the League has also attempted to suggest solutions to the various social and psychological questions which must be considered. The League has been fortunate in having among its members people who have met those situations and are fully qualified to offer advice to in- experienced, however enthusiastic, students. Among the addresses given were those of Professor Hinton, Mrs. Hinton, and Mrs. Woodruff. Whenever possible members of the League attend the Assembly and profit from the experiences of leading religious educators of the country. The vacation bible school affords opportunity for realization of Working values of advocated principles. Meetings have been conducted in the home of President and Mrs. Wells during the last term.

Many alumni of former years were present. At this meeting the business of the preceding year was reviewed, by the president, Mr. Howard Finley. Plans which were discussed for the next year included the decision to require membership dues of all active members of the association, the organization and promotion of Grand Island College Clubs, throughout the stateg and the enlisting of more active support of Grand Island College. Following this discussion, the annual election of officers was held, the results which are as follows: President, John D. Rice, Glenvilg Vice- President, Harry Neumayer, Ord, Secretary-Treasurer, Alice Lindburg, Grand Island College. Homecoming day is the principal event of the Alumni calendar, and proved to be an outstanding success this year. During the afternoon, Grand Island College played Doane College at Athletic park. And what a game! The Doane team had not met defeat all season, while Grand Island had not been so fortunate. Yet with the characteristic spirit of the Zebras, they gave Doane such a battle, that when the game was ended the score was 0-0. That indeed was a game to be proud of, and those who failed to see it, missed much that was highly appreciated by those present. Following the game the crowd adjourned to the new auditorium-gym- nasium, where they spent the time in a social get-together, until the eve- ning program. At 7 P. M., the evening program began, which consisted of an elab- orate banquet, music and pictures of college days long since past. The tables were very tastefully decorated in school colors, and ar- ranged in the shape of a rectangle. In the center of this rectangular shaped space, beautiful plants and shrubs were placed, lending much to the at- tractiveness of the scene. A unique ceremony initiated proceedings. From a large candle in the hands of President J. M. Wells, symbolizing the college, the light was passed to each individual candle on the table. The banquet was then served, followed by college songs and yells. Another interesting feature of the program was the showing of pictures of Grand Island College students and campus scenes of bygone days. These were amply explained and dis- cussed by Mr. Windom Rosene of Callaway. Singing of Alma Mater by the group concluded another enjoyable homecoming day, a day which created renewed enthusiasm and loyalty to Grand Island College. 1928 F THE ISLANDER fy 63539K ' I HRK M Rh !

He was an accurate passer andkcoulrl be depended upon for good steady wor . DOUGLASS HAYMAN Third Year Half Back Dougie is one of our fastest backs. When he gets the ball he can step off ten yards be- fore the Opponents know the pass has been made. This is Dougie's last year with us. EDWARD KEISS Third Year Center Ed could always be depended upon to get the ball to the backs. On defense he simply rocked 'em on both sides of the line. When Ed tackled, they stopped. FRANK TRACY Third Year End Tracy is an end who left his mark every time he tackled. He goes in and spills the runner before he gets started. He is fast and never hesitant. MERRILL YOUELL Third Year Tackle Silkie could be depended upon to make a hole whenever it was needed. He displayed the Zebra spirit especially on the defense by laying them low on his side of the line. THOMAS J. TAYLOR First Year End T. J. is a fast and clever end. He is fast under punts and can grab passes anywhere. On the defense he shows spirit and determi- nation that does not fail to get results. KENNETH McCALLUM First Year Tackle Mac combines the right spirit with the right tactics. His favorite trick is to slip through and throw backfield men for a loss. See you next year. Mac. ROBERT RASMUSSEN First Year Guard Bob puts the fight in football. He opens the big places for the backfield, and makes things safe on his side of the line on the de- fense. You too, next year, Bob. HAROLD WILLIAMS First Year Full Back Speck's policy is rock 'em and sock 'em. In the Central City game he had their back field men completely cowed the entire game. We expect great things of Speck next year. 9 1928 THE ISLANDER M2 ELMER SCHEEL Second Year Guard Dmgei s chief prowess was in opening holes ln the line of the defense. His tact in break- ing through and blocking points caused his opponents not the least of their worries. DONALD STARR Second Year Half Back Don is the man to whom you have to translate the words, give up. He is in the thick of every play, is a very consistent player and a deadly tackler. AMOS CHAPMAN First Year Full Back Chappie was a hard and effective line plunger for when he hit something had to give way somewhere. Opponents always kept a suspicious eye on him. Watch for Chap- man next year. PAUL MORRIS Third Year End Paul is an end who could snag 21 pass from any position if he could as much as touch the ball. He is a strong defense man and not at all slow in the offense. CLAUDE BUELL Second Year Quarterback Buell is an accurate passer and si clover quarterback. His head is by no means thc least. part of his football equipment. and his motto is, keep them guessing. ROBERT MANLEY First Year Full Back Manley is as clever a ball carrier as G. I. has had for some time. His specialty is a combination of superior judgment and fore- sight. We want Manley next year. Captain-Elect PAUL NITZEL Third Year Tackle Nitz was one who kept the old Zebra fight through to the final whistle. His greatest sport was to see how hard he would crack a hack. On tackle around plays he certainly swung round in admirable fashion. IGECT-91928 THE ISLANDER -l-H Football The first call in September for football was answe1'ed by about forty men, including many Freshman. After two weeks of hard and diligent training a team was beaten into form and in a very dramatic appearance held the York crew, 0 to 0, on a Wet and very tricky field. The next game was at Salina, Kansas, where they met with Kansas Wesleyan. The Kansas men were of University caliber and had things their own way. The boys had a fine trip, anyway. . Upon returning home the Zebras went to Omaha to help Omaha Uni. dedicate their new athletic field. By making a large number of substitu- tions Omaha managed to keep Grand Island down to a score of 20 to 0. Central was next in order. This was one of those bad Fridays you sometimes hear about. First a blocked punt, then a fumble, and with other bad breaks the Zebras had to hand over the game, 6 to 18. With the Central game still lurking on their conscience the Zebras next tackled the powerful Doane outfit in a fury. This was the Home Com- ing game and they were determined to make a good showing before all the old ex-Zebras. Doane was very obstinate, desiring also for some reason to appear well, so the result was a compromise, 0 to 0. With a short five days of rest after the strenuous Doane game, the Zebras mixed with the Hastings Bronchos in a non-eventful contest in which Hastings languidly dragged home a 13 to 0 score. The Thanksgiving game at Lincoln with Cotner was played a day early in order not to interfere with Nebraska's inter-sectional game with New York Unive1'sity. It was a gloomy, cloudy day and after the game even more so for the Zebras. The score was 13 to 0. Although the season was not one full of victories, it was intermingled with some brilliant games and playing. In reviewing the season one finds a Zebra team which was earnest and carried out the right spirit to the finish of the season as heroically as though the season had been crowned with the supreme victory. Much credit is also due those who continued to train the entire season although they were not on the regular team. With the training they received last fall they will play a valuable part in Grand Island's gridiron season of 1928.

The Zebras played some of the best and fastest games seen in the conference for the 1928 season. Coach Uhls developed a squad with as much spirit as G. I. has seen for some time. With some new material appearing he soon rounded out a team before the Christmas vacation which lost by only one point to Ne- braska Wesleyan, 17 to 18. The Zebras next tackled Kansas Wesleyan, when they stopped here on a barnstorming trip through Nebraska. At the half, Kansas led by only two points. Early in the second half however, Kansas lost all control and dropped the ball through the basket from any place on the floor. The game ended 19 to 29 in their favor. Nebraska Central was next on the program. The Zebras hit their stride, galloped over Central, and won 55 to 9. The Zebras next mixed with the Bronchos in as exciting and fast a 1 9 2 8 lUg THE ISLANDER game as the season had all season. Seats were little used by spectators this game. First Grand Island scored and then Hastings. This formal pro- cedure was followed during the entire contest. It soon became evident that the winner would be the one who had had the last turn just before the whistle blew. Hastings did. Result, 36 to 33. The next game was with Cotner. The Zebra outfit worked like a machine that night and disposed of Cotner 24 to 16 in a wonderful game of basket ball as is. The Zebras again clashed with Hastings, not forgetting the game of the fortnight before. Hastings seemed also not to have forgotten and the game was a repetition with the Bronchos again lucky, 35 to 31. Grand Island next met the Doane Tigers, Runners up for the Cham- pionship, in the slowest game of the season. Doane was victorious, 13 to 23. The Zebras then went on a three game trip, playing York, Doane, and Cotner consecutively. The Zebras were badly handicapped on York's small floor and since York had a style adapted to their court Grand Island found it impossible to overcome this irregularity. At Doane the boys made a better score than at York, but were de- feated. In the Cotner game the Zebras were forced to accept defeat by a two point margin, 15 to 17. The last game of the season was with the York Champions 1928 on the Grand Island floor. This was a game that will long be remembered. Grand Island showed a wonderful brand of basket ball and led at the end of the first half, 3 to 2, with York as concerned for their faultless record as it had been all season. Early in the second half York obtained a three point lead. Cunningham then dribbled the entire length of the floor and dropped one through. Near the last of the game when a field goal either way would settle the issue, the fastest show of basket ball seen all season on the Zebra court was made. The game ended 5 to 6 just after Grand Island watched the ball roll off the hoop several times. The season closed with Morris and Cunningham getting recognition on the all star teams. Since Grand Island will not lose a man by gradua- tion, she should have a team second to none next year. The men winning letters were: Henrich Hull, Robert McGrath, Paul Morris, Royal Cunningham, Robert Manley, T. J. Taylor. ---i- 1928 --l-ua THE ISLANDER TENNIS TEAM lm , in 53? . X X 23' .

The purpose of the contest was to deter- mine Which man and which girl among our number represent to his fellow students the ideals of the typical college life. Preliminary ballots were cast by the students at large and the ten highest candidates were eligible for election. In the finals only those purchasing Islanders were entitled to a vote. Since the standards of Grand Island College are high for all students, We believe our decision implies not only that which is typical of the Ameri- can College Student, but an approach to that which is ideal. The Editorial Staff of the Islander of 1928 takes great pleasure in announcing the REPRESENTATIVE STUDENTS of Grand Island College, MISS ESTHER RICE and MR. LAURENCE RITCHIE. i1qp-'are 1928 -----0---A ----o------ WHO PRINTS YUUR ANNUAL? THAT is the most important IP 'pjxgim question confronting the Annual Stafi.

This would have reference to scholarship, sportsmanship, or any of the other ships known to present day educators. Those honored on this page do represent the best, however, in all these. And for this reason, the choice term super may be considered correct, if used in the rightful position as an adjective before the word six.. XI Where Bill is, there will you also find Spain, Spec, Goofy, Clow, and 1 itz. What prompts this, the sentiment of the old adage, birds of a feather flock together, or that of the scripture, A friend sticketh closer than a brother. Assuming that it is the latter, then the statement, that friend- ships made while in college are among the greatest assets gleaned by the student, is verified. The sweaters with their familiar stripes indicate the type of ship that the super six has especially empliasized-sportsmanship-in other Words, athletics. In most of the cases here shown the number of stripes indicate the number of years each of the six has served his Alma Mater, and also, the possibilities of the future. Grand Island College might Well be proud of this group, and strive to stimulate the spirit of friendship that the super six represent-vvhole- hearted, good will to every one. ' 1928 THE ISLANDER 1928 Two married women were dis- cussing the cost of living. It's really dreadful, said one sadly. Why, do you know my bills for clothes this year are double what they were last year. Goodness, gasped the other, I don't see how your husband can afford it. He can't, replied the other calmly. But then he couldn't last year either so what's the difference. Prosperity Farmer Moore was asked whether he had had a good year. Gosh, yes ! he exclaimed. I had four cows and three hogs killed by railway trains, and two hogs and eleven chickens run over by cars. I cleared near S1S1,000. Miss Green: Of course you can't believe everything you hear. Mrs. Gladreich: O, no, but you can repeat it. Mrs. Williams, recently re- turned from Europe, was in at- tendance at a tea given in her honor.
