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.

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 ........... Douglass Hayman KE91923 UH
