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.

THE ISLANDER ng Alumni and Former Student Association I During commencement week of the past year, the Alumni and Former Student Association, held their annual meeting in Amphictyon Hall of Grand Island College. 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
