THE ISLANDER Jean Gcmmell Mrs. F. A. Rush Isabclfe Smith Mary Alice Campbell Gladis Kincaid Evelyn Scheel The Stripettes Pep, push, and a group of jolly girls. 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. WLT- 1928 lmg

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

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
