N Portraying in words and pictures the academic, social, athletic, and extra-curricular life of students throughout the year 1940-41. 3 The Bronco Award Because he best represents the ideals implied in the term constructive college citizenship, El Carol Greenwood has been chosen winner of the Bronco Award, the highest honor to be attained at Hastings college. By decision of a student -faculty committee, elected by popular vote of the student body, the winner of the award is chosen from the senior class. His name will be engraved on the silver Bronco cup. Established in 1924 by the staff of the yearbook, the Bronco Award tradition has been carried on each year in the publication of the book. The award is based on original and constructive achievements that are likely to be enduring in their effect on the cam- pus. Its emphasis is not on prominence in any one field of activity, such as scholarship, athletics, music, or speech, but rather on lasting contributions which affect many activities of the college. Because he has left Hastings college better than he found it, El Carol Greenwood is the eighteenth Bronco Award winner. Robert Baskin has been chosen by the com- mittee to receive honorable mention. 4 E1 Carol Greenwood P. wx xv 6 Alma Mater McCormick Hall H Ringland Hall The Gymnasium Carnegie Library ,,,.,-,.,,,1 NW. , Bellevue House Taylor Hall 9 I 1111?

Education students under Miss Aller and Dean Weyer learned about procedure in their practice-teaching experiences in the Hastings schools. Children in the public library heard fairy tales every Saturday, told them by elementary education students. Maidens in 'maroon gym suits bagged home runs and smashed badminton birdies, in the spring they donned vari-hued dancing robes to present the annual spring festival.

Students' Association Probably the very first love of college freshmen this year was the Students' Associa- tion, for it abolished freshman hazing and established a mild two-day form of Freshman Week as an initiatory measure for first-year students. Stricter campus discipline and fairer justice in Kangaroo Kourt were maintained, and the spirit of fun in which the initiation was first established was enlarged. Another project under the supervision of the Students' Association was the opening of Bellevue house for daytime use as a stu- dent union center. Magazines and books were purchased during the year and were installed in the reception room, ping pong tables were made available in the ballroom, and deck games, such as shuffleboard and miniature bowling, were accessible during the day on the porch. Inaugurated first as an experi- ment, the student union is open on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons, with Mrs. Lulu Carlson, Bellevue house Overseer, as hostess. Other outstanding accomplishments of the Students' Association during the year in- clude redecoration of Bellevue house, the writing of a new list of rules for the use of the student union building, and the publish- ing of the second annual New Students' Guide, a small booklet given to every new registrant to help him to become acquainted with the traditions and accepted customs of Hastings collce. In collaboration with the YM and YW, the Students' Association staged the traditional new students' reception in the gymnasium the second week-end of school, so that students and faculty could meet each other formally and become ac- quainted with each other against a background of music, grand marches, and reception lines. El Carol Greenwood, able gavel-pounder of the organization, was assisted by Margaret McCown, vice-president, and Betty Hoch, secretary. It was the duty of these three to supervise the various student affairs of the campus. As college treasurer, Mr. D. P. Jones acted as treasurer for the group.

Academic Life With its 30,000 volumes circulating at a turnover rate of 10,000 every month, the Hastings college Car- negie library Was the scene of concentrated study throughout the year. An addition to the study rooms made during the summer provided room for about 30 additional students in the library. In recognition of high scholastic standards, the in- stitution recognizes those students who receive an aver- age of 2,6 in grades. Honored at the annual awards chapel last year, ten freshmen, seven sophomores, and six juniors were recognized, seniors were given honors on graduation morning. In addition, awards were given in such fields as journalism, art, debate, oratory, dra- matics, sports, and music. 32 Left to right: Marsh, Auble, Johnson, Guard.

BETTY BURGOIN, left, says she found the bored walk in Atlantic City anything but that when, as campus YW president, she attended the national YW convention there, she can look just as dignified when giving vocal support to college athletic teams as at German club cabinet, Pi Gamma Mu meetings, and Home Ee club demonstrations. A Kappa Rho and one-time drumstick wielder for the band, she models and sells dresses in her time off from classes on the campus. V KEITH DELAP, left, assumed chief executive duties of the YM in his senior year, was dubbed Delay by another student, not because of his roles in Romeo and Juliet or Merchant of Venice, but because a typographical error in the Collegian gave a y in- stead of a p to his name. Ringland hall-ite, IRC ex-cabinet member, and member of the gospel team, he plans to enter the ministry. HAROLD GUARD, below, class vice-president, chem club officer, and general foreman of campus NYA work, works harder and looks happier than anyone else on the campus. Second in charge in an industrial plant down town, he handles Ringland hall living, class assignments, national defense orders, and Sunday school teaching so that he always has time to help others. El.. CAROL GREEN- W'OOD, left, handles the Student Association presidency, a cello, and a YM cabinet position as deftly as his tennis racquet, with which he earned a Bronco letter. Ex-debater, Pi Kappa Delta m e m b e r, and Chem clubber, he hopes to do graduate work next year in economics, his major field. 46 ationall Known Selection of a student for Who's Who is based on four characteristics which indicate that he is outstanding and an asset to the school. Leadership in extra-curricular activities, scholar- ship, character, and potentialities of future usefulness to society are the criteria used as a basis for selection. CLEY RICHENDIFER, right, H club president, honorary foot- ball captain, and all-state athlete, has lettered three years in foot- ball, basketball, and track, thus earning his right to receive the fighting Bronc yell. Wielder of the broom and dust-pan as Ringland basement janitor when not on the scrimmage field, he is majoring in history, plans to be a teacher, and is a Kapp. JANICE SHULER, right, woman orator and half of the 1940 wo'men's state championship debate team, is presiding officer at Sigma Tau Sigma meetings, and lent a cosmopolitan air to Tovarich with her up- swept coiffure. One-time dormitory president, she does light housekeeping, and assists with freshman speech classes when teachers are ill or out of town. DOROTHY WEYER, below, the individualichiefly responsible for all the errors in this book, has held of- ficial positions in IRC, Theta Psi Beta, Pi Kappa Delta, and YW cabinet, holds membership cards in other organizations, has braids that reach below her waist, and has an original prize-winning play on col- lege library shelves. -V - ' Q - ,K ,,,,.1 V ' y W 1 . , t V s , MARGRETTE V t -1 a . f aww 5M1THBERG,1'1f'bf:0f ,yo f as sw t e proverbial au urn tresses, as a member of --', i the 1940 women s state ii V V 5 E h ' h' d b t e za J, , ,lg C arnpions ip e a 1 te a ma . sports fans to buy sus ' ' 'img tenance from Estes Co Q ,,,,, op fudge venders, or in 3' si' V 1.1 . pg ' duce life -long Demo- . if 'Q 5i?f'?5i.

Top-Notchers Unusual in the personnel of Hastings college Who's Who candidates this year is the fact that one-half are girls. All fields of campus activity are represented, including the YM and YW, student government, music, speech, publications, athletics, and other extra-curricular activities. DON HELZER, left, Gamma Gamma Gamma president, was surprised when one of his original compositions was played in chapel by Dr. Ralph Robbins, highstepped in front of the band across the football field as drum major, and sang his Way across Nebraska as a member of the college choir and small vocal groups. His George moniker comes from his bull-fiddle play- ing, with another year to go in college, he is aiming at a music major. , BETTY HOCH, left, besides being one of the most popular songsters on the campus, presides at Pi Alpha Lambda meetings, and polishes up her shorthand be- fore she takes her secretary's notes at each Student Association meeting. As YW cabinet member, she was one of the official plotters for the new students, reception in the fall. MARGARET MCCOWN, below, assumes that chief- executive expression at Taylor hall gatherings, and the assistant chief-executive look at Student Association and Theta Alpha Phi meetings, helps solve YW and Westminster Guild problems, sings St, Louis Bluesn in such a manner that most accomplished torch singers' attempts assume a baby blue tint. sff 3,99 48 Left to right: Weyer, Ohlssori, Fahrnbruch, B Y 11 OFFICERS - Gordon Ohlsson, Preyident Richard Yarnall, Vice Preficfent Betty Fahrnbruch, Secretary Ruth Weyer, Treasurer Ruth Bouricius, Conner!

Delta Phi Sigma GENE YOUNG HASTINGS Gamma Gamma Gamma ESTHER ZANGGER NORTH LOUP Chi Omega Psi For freshmen especially might well be the name of the first week of school, for the amazing whirlwind of activities during the beginning days of college is never quite so breath-taking to veteran upperclassmen as it is to timid frosh who experience it for the first time. Upper left: The first stage in registration-filling out a matriculation card. With Mr. Wayne Cockrell, right, Helen Anne Turner, centerg and Roberta Masten, left, behind the desk, Margery Hall signs her card, while Maurice Paulk, freshman, and Dorothy Jacobson, sophomore, look on. Upper right: Gene Young, left, Walter Schreiner, centerg and Jack Ray, right, seek professional advice about registration from Dr. Harry R. James, physics professor. Lower left: Greeted by Betty Burgoin, Keith Delap, President and Mrs. J. W. Creighton, and Dean and Mrs. F. E. Weyer, in line from right, freshmen learn names and faces of classmates, teachers, and campus leaders at the new students' reception. Lower right: Although most of the persons in this picture are upperclassmen, classes for the entire student body begin following the first chapel program of the year. After that, college life begins in earnest. The First Weeks - - - When freshmen first come to college, they are bewildered by the maze of intricacies that confront them at every step. But with these unpleasant situations are innumerable aids cal- culated to bolster them up mentally and phy- sicaly during the harrowing first days of college. Registration complications involving ma- triculation cards, faculty advisers, required courses, ghastly identification pictures, and blue cards are equalized by the punch and wafers and lounging room provided by the YW. First pangs of homesickness are averted by meeting other students at nightly umixersi' at the student union during the week. First classes, nightmare to timid frosh, are made fascinating by sympathetic teachersg and weak-kneed coeds are supported by the presence of big'sisters on the campus. At length all students, new and old, meet at the formal reception in honor of newcomers. After ten days or two weeks, the longest period in the history of man, freshmen eagerly begin to look forward to what lies ahead of them and anticipate happily how they will greet next year's frightened frosh. 63 H453 ic: Orgamzauons YMCA Standing: left to right: Clark, Baldridge, Long, Baskin, Kendall, D.

In Fellowship With Others Members of the YMCA cabinet welcomed all Hastings college men to the fellowship of their organization. Led by Keith Delap, president, members met each Wednesday morning during the chapel hour to worship, study problems of vital interest, foster cultural growth, and develop Christian fellowship. Activities of the Y included a program of freshman orientation which consisted of mixers, the annual students' reception, and the H book. In its yearly program the organization also sponsored the gospel team, brought speakers to the campus, held fall and spring retreats, and with the YW had charge of the annual Spiritual Emphasis week. Also with the YW, the YM acted as an harmonizing agent for various groups on the campus. Officers and cabinet members included Millard Cates, vice-presidentg John Osborne, secretary, Robert Geller, treasurer, Elwin Clark, program chairman.

Toward a More Abundant Life Uniting campus women in the desire 'to realize a full and rich life through a growing knowledge of God, the YWCA holds regular Wednesday meetings with emphasis on its program theme, 'tThe Life Abundant? Led by Betty Burgoin, the YW joined with the YM in presenting several traditional all-college activities during the year. Assisted by the Students, Asso- ciation, the two organizations staged the annual new students' reception, which used for a central theme this year a huge gold book through whose pages campus leaders were presented to the audience. The Thanksgiving breakfast and chapel service were under the joint sponsorship of the two organizations, as was the Christmas White Gift service, which was combined with the annual Christ- mas service of music presented by the college choir. Cabinet members met each Monday evening to discuss problems of the organization, members of the junior cabinet met once a month with the vice- president to act as an assisting body. Officers were Betty Burgoin, president, Ruth Haines, vice-president, Georgia Warren, secretary, and Beulah Daugherty, treasurer. Cabinet members were Harriett Logan, program chairman, Betty Fahrn- bruch, publicity chairman, Alice Landis, conference chairman, Dorothy Weyer and Betty Suehlsen, freshman co-chairmen, Helen Nelsen, room chairman, Beulah Fisher and Betty Hoch, social co'-chairman, Evelyn Adams, devotionals, Elsie Petersen, music chairman, Frances Ambler, historian, Margrette Smith- berg, Estes chairman, Joy Collins, commissions chairman, and Wfinifred Burke, WSSF chairman.

Estes Co-op High Ideals in High Places Bringing relief to famished sports fans, Estes Co-op members braved frost- bitten fingers and tingling toes to sell candy bars and gum to sports fans at football games throughout the fall season. When basketball time arrived, they borrowed Miss Zisko's office in the gymnasium and set up a shop in which to sell their edible wares between halves of the contests. Workmg under the co-chairmanship of Margrette Smithberg and Bruce Kendall, with Margy Cunningham as change-maker, they also gave Bronco athletes a chance to receive pats on the back by sponsoring victory dances at Bellevue house. Because of all this activity, members will attend the regional YW-YM annual conference at Estes Park, Colorado, during the first week in June. There they will hike, swim, bowl, attend group conferences, vespers, and wor- ship services, climb mountains, ride horseback, and also try to find time to write to the folks back home who are missing all the fun. Religious inspiration and instruction will bring co-op members home from their ten days in fellowship with Y members from Nebraska, Colorado, Wyom- ing, Kansas, and other states with new ideas and new zeal for the coming year. Others who make up the 19-strong membership of the Co-op are Perry Long, Margery Hall, Keith Delap, Harold Guard, Norma Neeley, Robert Hughes, Barbara Forrester, Janice Shuler, Doris Fisher, Beulah Fisher, Eva Belle Spelts, Sara Thompson, Deanna Mastores, Robert Baskin, Barbara Jenkins, and Charles Barker. 68 Standing, left to right: Pysher, Nachtigall, Shotwell, Kingma, Dickerson, lllingworth, Clarke, Moranville, Kile, Vail, Graff.

In addition to their Monday evening gatherings in the social room, the Ambassadors hold services in various local churches throughout the year. Sev- eral of their members have regular pastorates in surrounding towns. Christmas caroling to shut-ins, picnics, raffy-pulls, parties, and other social events form other phases of the club's yearly activities. Concerts of sacred music presented by members of the group, speeches and lectures by club members and local churchmen, reports and discussions led by Ambassadors form programs for the weekly meetings. Welcoming all those who are interested, the Ambassadors club has no regular membership. From 10 to 30 usually attend the meetings. Officers of the group this year are Orin Graff, president, Keith Elder, vice-president, George Nachtigall, secretary, and Elwin Clark, pianist.

In addition, the orchestra presented a full program of music especially for its young audience. Broadcast over KHAS, this experimental program for children, which was inaugurated this year, is the first of its kind in this section of the country. Attaining national recognition as the Hastings Dime Symphony, the orchestra also presented two formal concerts. Mr. Louis F. Zerbe, violinist, and Miss Mary Bowling, pianist, as members of the conservatory faculty, appeared as guest soloists for the winter and spring concerts repectively.

Numerous current books and publications on international problems were furnished to the college library by the IRC, through its affiliation with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the national organization which sponsors college IRC groups throughout the country. Reviews of some of these books furnished the program for several small discussion groups during the year. President of the local organization is Warren Kunkel, vice-president is Elwin Clarkg and secretary is Bruce Kendall. Dr. Margaret I. Knowles is club sponsor.

Organized four years ago, the group became affiliated with the national club three years ago, and now communicates with other college groups in the state by way of the bulletin of the student home economics clubs, edited by Della Harrenstein, past president of the local club. Entertainment for monthly meetings of the group included programs on fashions, foods, and foreign countries. Pleas for increased allowances were sent home by air mail after a visit of the club to a local dress shop where spring fashions were studied. Mouths watered when a cateress gave a cake-baking demonstration. An appreciation of our modern conveniences came as a result of an informal lecture on living conditions in Korea, given by Mrs. DeWitt Lowe, returned missionary and home economics graduate of the college.

Composed of students registered for the speech class entitled Radio 319, the staff presented the weekly Wednesday evening college program over Station KHAS. The 15- minute sketch from 7:15 to 7 :30 was generally a variety program emphasizing some form of news or feature material from the campus. Throughout the course of study, staff members learned about radio writ- ing, continuity development, newscasting, and producing. To supplement the theory work in class, the students wrote and produced all Hastings college material presented over KHAS. Mr. David M. Grant was sponsor for the group. Student members were Juanita Hansen, Maryian Hoffman, William Kline, Betty Lou Brown, Betty Fahrnbruch, Paul Gaughenbaugh, Jack Horsham, Lois Loree Johnson, Ray Knapp, Perry Long, Margrette Smithberg, Lyle Thomas, Harold Wagner, and Mary Jane Williams. During the first semester Dick Yarnall, as chief-of-staff, and Mr. G. W. Lindberg, as head of the faculty committee on radio, had charge of the radio programs from the college. In addition to the weekly 15-minute programs broadcast over KI-IAS, the college also had charge of an hour program of music and dramatics once a month over KMMJ in Grand Island. Different members of music and dramatics groups also appeared on various civic programs broadcast from the local radio station. 76 Standing: left to right: Landis, Hansen, Marsh, Fisher, Knapp, Yarnall, McCown, Miss Barnett.

Heighth of Hopeful Histrionics Goal of all campus dramatic students, TAP enrolled six new members during the year and sponsored its third annual original play-writing contest. Cast and directed by members of the group, the two prize-winning plays are kept secret, and identity of the authors is unknown until the night of presentation of awards. First prize of ten dollars and second prize of five dollars are offered by President J. W. Creighton. Theta Alpha Phi has a copy of the play receiving highest honors bound and placed in the college library.

They are the Chem club, officially known as Chi Chi, founded in February of 1926 by the president and vice-president of Hastings college and the late Professor P. W. Evans. To further the knowledge of chemistry, to en- courage chemical research, and to develop and broaden ideals of service to humanity, this organization is open to all students who have had 12 hours of chemistry and who are enrolled for additional scientific study. Discussions, demonstrations, and lectures by student me'mbers and by local scientific speakers provide the program for most of the monthly meetings. Each year the chemistry club is joint sponsor of the annual science open house on the campus, and has charge of various displays and demonstrations. Officers of the club are Robert Marvel, president, Hal DeMay, vice-presi- dent, and Willard Rouze, secretary. Miss Angeline Wood and Dr. Vernon Fle- harty are sponsors of the organization.

Friendship in Any Language Senors, mademoiselles, and frauleins, or Spanish, French, and German stu- dents defied all international complications and organized the Travel club from the three language clubs at the beginning of the year. Nearly 200 strong, the organization met once a month for the purpose of stimulating cultural and linguistic development. Christmas greetings were bantered back and forth in three different languages at the banquet given just before the holiday vacation. After the dinner, club members went to the Little Theatre to tour a miniature Louvre, to listen to a Spanish musicale, and to applaud Der Zerbrochene Krug, a German play directed by Mrs. Ralph Robbins. Members of the cast included Betty Fahrnbruch, James Gill, Doris Ruth Jacobson, Jack Coe, Burniel Greenwood, James Hansen, and Konrad Kingshill. In May new officers were presented at a banquet in their honor. Officers this year are Lois Pysher, president, Pauline Duncan, vice-president, and Phyllis Brandes, secretary-treasurer.

Headlines and Headaches Dashing madly about the campus with pencils perched precariously behind their ears and nickel notebooks grasped in their fists, would-be Dorothy Thomp- sons and Walter Winchells gathered news for the campus weekly publication, the Collegian. Among the innovations made during the year was a new style of make-up on the editorial page, giving emphasis to editorial comment and feature columns. The Collegian is a member of the Associated Collegiate Press. For the first time in the publication's 50 years of history, a system of rotating editors was inaugurated. Editors were chosen for terms of one month each from an editorial board of four advanced journalism students. Other staff positions remained relatively constant throughout the year. Those worriers-in-chief, who helped to maintain the high standard estab- lished last year when the Collegian received first class rating, were Eloise Edson, Betty Fahrnbruch, Robert H. Jones, and Dorothy Weyer. Guardians of the monetary outgo and income were Robert Hughes and James Gill. First semester publication sponsor was Mr. Kenneth A. Browne, Miss Eunice Chapman assumed advisory duties second semester. Deadline watchers, who were conscripted from journalism classes or en- listed voluntarily, were Betty Fahrnbruch, Eloise Edson, Robert Hughes, Mildred Noble, Robert H. Jones, Harriett Logan, Bruce Kendall, Sid White, Lola Toews, Eunice Eyre, Lynn Tofsted, Joy Collins, George Nachtigall, Lucille Brown, Lyle Thomas, Margery Hall, Dick Yarnall, Fred Zook, and Dorothy Weyer. 84 Left to right: Logan, Weyer, Tofsted, Noble, Toews, Cunningham, Hall, Fahrnbruch, Tripp, Pictures, Paste, and Pages With rubber cement in their hair, rulers in their hands, and tables with paper cutters and photographic centerpieces before them, members of the 1941 Bronco staff have attempted to give you a memory book of those experiences- trivial, humorous, serious-which you will remember as college daysf' To the students of Hastings college Who will relive their college days through the pages of this book, the Bronco staff informally dedicates its year's labors. Because midnight oil is burned by all students for at least a few days each term, the ancient lamp of learning is portrayed throughout the book to sym- bolize the scholastic achievements of Hastings college. Chief innovation in yearbook publication this year proved to be Weekly staff meetings, made memorable by mounds of caramels for deserving underlings. A cubbyhole office on second-floor Ringland was the scene of mad sessions of pasting, pacing, and paging as deadlines loomed nearer and nearer. After the morning of presentation, the Bronco staff heaved a sigh of relief and, to celebrate, entertained the Bronco award winner and his family at an honor dinner. Staff members were Malcolm Rippeteau, photographerg Harriett Logan, copy editorg Eunice Eyre and Margy Cunningham, class editorsg Mildred Noble, organizations editorg Lynn Tofsted and Margery Hall, society editorsg Robert H.

Primary CAA Collegians Up In the Air Collegians and coeds Went up in the air in the fall of 1939 and haven't come down since. Now, however, they can enroll in both primary and sec- ondary classes in aviation, which are being taught under the Civil Aeronautics Authority. Though their heads may be in the clouds, young fliers have their feet on the ground in their basic theory Work in campus classrooms. Instructed in ground school work in classes on the campus taught by Dr. Vernon Fleharty, and given actual flying instruction at the municipal airport by aviation assistants, the beginning fliers spend 35 or 40 hours in the air in addition to their class instruction. Their flying hours are accumulated in periods of fifteen 'minutes and half hours. Basic flying training is given on Aeroncas, small light-weight planes that handle easily. ,Stiff examinations prescribed by the CAA mark the progress of the course. Six students were enrolled in the primary aviation class during the fall term. They were Yale Nelson, Betty Lou Brown, Jack Barton, Harold McGhie, Leslie Nelson, and Bill Latta. The 10 second semester primary students were Francis Albrecht, Robert Baskin, Keith Elder, James Hansen, Robert H. Jones, Wallace Peterson, Clifford Trout, Helen Anne Turner, Raymond Watson, and Jack Yeagley. 86 Left to right: Bill Latta, Dix Lathrop, Dr. Harry R, James, Stanley B. Fryar, L. C. Puckett, manager, and Scott Miller. Now They're Flying High In the campus-renowned battered black station Wagon, 20 aspiring young aviation experts bounced daily to the municipal airport throughout the year to get in their prescribed hours of flying time for the secondary Civil Aeronautics Authority pilot's training course. Organized last summer, the secondary flying courses are conducted by Dr. Harry R. James, who has charge of the ground school work taught at the campus, and two airport instructors who oversee actual flying at the field. Two-fold purpose of the CAA training is to make the American people more conscious of the safety of air travel, and to build up a reserve of young men who may make more rapid aviation progress in actual military service. From 40 to 45 hours of actual flying credit beyond the primary course is necessary to complete the secondary training. This work is in addition to the daily ground school classes. The 10 young men who completed secondary training in the fall are Charles Anderson, Milton Behrens, Paul Cross, Robert Creighton, George Faser, Donald Glass, Stuart Halsey, Max Schoenthal, Charles Zangger, and Willard Snyder. Enrolled in the spring term, the 10 secondary students were Donald Cam- eron, Paul Gaughenbaugh, Edward Johnson, Bill Latta, Joseph Livingston, Harold McGhie, Scott Miller, Yale Nelson, John Wagner, and Sid White. 87 Secondary CAA :c Soc1et1es Alpha Phi Sigma President - Vice-President - Secretary - Treasurer - Historian - Council Representative OFFICERS - Shirley Dunn Norma Lindemann - Frances Ambler - Helen Nelsen Geraldine Gillespie - Constance Ray 90 Shirley Dunn, President Top: Alpha Phis meet at the Ewings.

A modish banquet, based on Esquire and Vogue, concluded the year's social events. Eaters of Birthday Cake Celebrating their thirtieth anniversary this year, the Kapps impressed the freshmen candidates with girls, society presidents as usherettes, swing song, Swearingen- Gaughenbaugh boxing, and a Fisher reading at their rush party. They staged a spectacular Friday the Thirteenth Bad Luckn party, in defiance of all super- stition. Moving pictures shown by Dr. E. C. Foote, an address on Spring Fashions for the College Man de- livered by Ben Sherman, and lectures by the Reverend Silas Kessler, Miss Janet Carpenter, Edmund T. An- derson, John Moulton, James King, and Howard Tabor comprised meetings or the '40-41 term.

NVith gingham dresses and big hair ribbons, they attended a school days party early in the second semesterg they concluded their year's social season with the traditional spring banquet at Bellevue house. Wartime Helpers Knitting socks for soldiers in the first World War swerved the Palladians, oldest society on the campus, from their original pursuit of things literary. Sometime between wars, too, they changed their name to Pi Alpha Lambda. With a picnic for old members, which turned out to be a marshmallow roast and a shower of coca- cola, Pi Alphas ushered in the social year of 1940-41. They fostered a clever new plan for initiations-Initizv tion Day, which combined informal breakfast and form-- al dinner and ceremony on the same day. In keeping with tradition, they donated to the Red Cross for World War II. After a song contest and a Little Red School- House' party, Pi Alphas concluded their activities with a Mardi Gras banquet on May 9. 105 r, . 1.

In November initiates were formally introduced by a dinner and dance with Thetas at Bellevue house. A hay rack ride, farewell party for Mrs. Wayne Cockrell, Hawaii-going sponsor, spring picnic, and demonstrations by Mr. Tage Topp and Mrs. Bess Murray Robare on flowers and cos- metics were high points of the program year, while a Hawaiian party and a i'Club Top Hati' party took care of the informal and formal social season.

Returning from a picnic on the Blue river with Kapps, Delts, and Chi Psis, Thetas helped Sigs initiate formally new members at a dance at Bellevue house, Thetas wore gingham dresses to the barn dance held in lantern-lit Bellevue house. Eagles greeted them at the patriotic party, and pastel butterflies flitted about at their spring banquet. Memorial Establishers Honoring the memory of a society sister, Thetas instituted the Margery Marsh memorial fund this year for freshman women's oratory. Proposed as a ceremony to be carried on as one of the society's traditions, the project was discussed in February. The informal initia- tion on the Blue and the formal dinner, initiation, and dance at the Clarke hotel and Bellevue house admitted new members to the group in October. Swing your partnersn echoed on November 30 as Thetas Virginia- reeled through a barn dance. Life With Father, pre- sented by Mrs. J. T. Cottingham and Miss Genevieve Addleman for the entire student body, Theta attendance in a body at Miss Mary Bowlingls faculty lecture, and Mrs. Ralph Robbins' German play, a patriotic dance in February, and a butterfly spring banquet were other high points of the year. 109 55 Richendifer Right: Candy-loving basket- ball fans crowd around the door to Miss Ziskols office, official sweets dispensary in the gym, during the half at a basketball game.

Above: Max Water- bury, who has charge of equipment, throws out the towel to resting Macmen between halves at a Bronco basketball game. Coach Thurlo McCrady was greeted by 14 lettermen from the 1939 football squad, which was heralded as state champs, when he called the first practice for 1940 on September 1. On the 1940 squad was Cley Richendifer, who was among those receiving state recogni- tion. His six touchdowns, all on passes, led all linemen in the state. Bert Cramer was again named to all-conference and all-state teams for his tackle play. Bob Baskin, guard, and John Warwick, fullback, were named on different all-conference teams. At the football banquet December 2 Cley Richendifer was presented as honorary captain. !'Rike, a regular at end four seasons, is regarded as an outstanding athlete. He was H president his senior year. The 1940 lettermen are as follows: ends, Cley Richendifer, Lloyd Haug, and Art Soun- dyg tackles, Bert Cramer, Dick Van Dyke, Frank Johnson, and Al Balnickeg guards, Bob Baskin, Ray Glanrz, Gordon Ehlers, and Floyd Applegate, centers, Jack Ray, and Dick O,Neal. In the backfield those receiving letter awards were Johnny Warwick, Jim Grant, Junior Baker, Charles Little, Jack Horsham, Dave Phillipson, Bill Davis, and Paul Golden.

Right: Halfback Bob Koontz is hauled down after one of his numerous gains against Midland. Hastings I3 to 12. In the first game of the 1940 season, against Augustana, the Broncos, who went on to tie for the NCAC championship title with the Doane Tigers, dropped a 7 to 0 decision to the South Dakotans, after fumbling a total of 15 times. A Against Kearney, the Broncs hit a fast stride in the second game to down the Antelopes 14 to 7, with Cley Richendifer catching two passes for touchdowns. Bert Cramer kicked for both extra points. The Antelopes went on to win six straight and were ranked behind Peru as the second best in the state. At York the following week, the Macmen got their first conference win at the expense of a light and inexperienced Panther team by a 28 to 0 score. Bert Cramer place-kicked for the extra point four times out of four. Touchdowns were made by Phillipson on a 35 yard run and Little on an off-tackle plunge. Richendifer and Haug, Bronco ends, each intercepted a pass and ran 48 and 25 yards respectively to score. XVayne State Teachers showed up the Broncos by 13 to 0 before a Homecoming crowd, with fumbles proving costly for Hastings. Wayne's freshman back, Bud Best, an all-state selection, ran and passed his team to victory. Little-All-American Joe Lindahl, Wayne's end, led a fine defensive line. Jack Ray, at center for the Broncos, played a stalwart defensive. Glantz Ray Soundy Van Dyke Hansen field in Won the thriller, Baker 113 Left Haug and Warwick corner a Wesleyan man. Ray C232 and Cramer Q4-31 come up to help. Right Haug catches a touchdown pass in the XVesleyan game. Broncos won 12 to 0. In a crucial fray at Crete, the Broncs and the Tigers battled to a 6 to 6 stalemate. Freshman back Paul Golden made the Bronco touchdown, while Cramer missed his first try for extra point during the season. Doane's two freshman backs, Niehart and Bigelow, were the Tiger's big claws offensively. In the last minutes, a field goal from the 25-yard marker gave Hastings some hope as officials disagreed on the decision before calling it no good. Peru, mythical state champs, led by their ace backs, Jim Mather and Bob Henderson, ran rough-shod over the Broncos, 22 to 0, to avenge a 1939 defeat. Peru led 9 to 0 at the half, with Mather scoring on a 45-yard run and Mason, Bobcat tackle, kicking a field goal from an angle 20 yards out. In the last period, Peru's passing attack started functioning, and the Bobcatis fast backs ran around the Bronco defense. In the most thrilling game of the season at Hansen field, Midland clashed with the Broncs on Dadis and Mother's day with Hastings winning 13 to 12. Both teams were in line for con- ference honors, as Midland boasted wins over Wesleyan and York. It was anybody's ball game, with the lead changing hands four times. Richendifer and Horsham scored the touchdowns, with the former taking a pass good for 20 yards and the latter running 18 on a reverse. Cramer kicked for the point of victory margin.

Wesleyan, always a match for Hastings, nearly spoiled Turkey day for the Broncos as both teams went scoreless the first half of the traditional Bronco-Plainsman tussle, In the last two periods, Richendifer and Horsham scored for the Broncos, thus giving them a 12 to 0 tally to assure Hastings of a tie for the NCAC title, the week before, Doane had beaten Mid- land 13 to 0 to share top honors. . The Broncos journeyed some 600 miles to take their last and worst beating of the season in a late game at Springfield, Missouri, with the Missouri state college champs. The score was 51 to 6, but there was some consolation in the 6 points scored against the Springfield teamg they represented the second touchdown scored against the Missourians throughout the season. With a tie for the NCAC football title, Coach Thurlo McCrady chalked up his ninth and last coaching year at Hastings college with his eighteenth conference title.

Wearers of H Sweaters With a membership composed of Bronco athletes who have won the right to wear H sweaters, the men's H club presents an awe-inspiring spectacle of white and crimson when gathered en masse for one of its occasional meetings. ' Its membership of 23 was swelled by 16 new lettermen at the close of the football and basketball seasons, more will be added when the track, tennis, and golf seasons are completed. Organized as an honorary group, the H club has had few formal meetings, a dance in Bellevue house, a picnic, and other similar activities took care of its social program. Honorary football captain Cley Richendifer is president of the organization, Burton Cramer is vice-president, Robert Baskin, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Thurlo E. McCrady and Mr. Paul Deacon are sponsors. Roster of old members includes Jack Barton, Junior Baker, Ray Glantz, James Grant, El Carol Greenwood, Charles Little, Robert H.

Richendifer Basketeers Play On and Off Basketball practice officially started December 2 with only two regulars from the 1939- 40 championship team. Jim Grant, three-year letterman, was advised by doctors not to playg a knee injury early in football season had not responded to treatment. Grant was slated to hold down one of the forward berths. Prospects were not too disheartening, for Cley Richendifer, all-state forward, and Hu- bert Wolfe, dependable guard, along with 6'4 Bert Cramer, were a good nucleus around which to build a tea'm. At the close of the season, Hubert Wolfe was named all-conference at his positiong Cley Richendifer and Ray Rader were given honorable mention. Richendifer was leading Bronco scorer with 124 points. Sid White had 78 points for runner-up honors, edging Wolfe, who had 77. Cramer Wolfe 118 Left: Blond Petersen of Bethany jumps for the ball as Richendifer crouchcs ready for action. Right: Eight men and a ball hover around the basket. This was the first Wayne-Hastings game. Bethany college of Lindsborg, Kansas, was the first opposition for the 1940-41 Bronco cagers. Led by two Swedes, Tilborg, forward, who chalked up 19 points, and Peterson, guard, who made 12, the Kansans bested the Broncos 46 to 35. Richendifer made 11 points to lead the Broncos. In the second game the Broncs met Morningside college of Siouzg City, Iowa. Hastings took an early lead, but the Iowans whittled it down, and in the last half, the inexperienced Broncs were overtaken, Morningside boasted a 43 to 36 victory. DeMaine of Morningside made 19 points, Richendifer, 14. ' The National University of Mexico team was the attraction on January 10, and Broncos showed offensive strength in turning back the southerners 44 to 39. Mexicans used a fast break and had clever ball handlers, but the pace told on them. Favored Broncs dropped the opening conference game to the powerful York Panthers by 40 to 26. Shaneyfelt and Kalding were Panthers' main claws, scratching up 26 points between them. Richendifer, battling the flu, was held to a pair of free throws, Phelps led Bronco men with 8 points.

Led by stellar center Belka, who made 19 points, Doane took an early lead in a rough and tumble game and was not headed after the first five minutes. Broncos got back into the Winning column, besting Kearney Antelopes 35-28. Blessing, Kearney ace, was held to 5 points by Richendifer, who picked up 10. Midland was the next victim of the on and off Bronco cagers. Hastings played up steady ball, handing the Warriors a neat 33 to 27 defeat. Wolfe and White each made 8 points to pace the Broncos. Playing a return engagement with Kearney, Hastings won its most thrilling game of the season, 50 to 48. With a minute and 40 seconds to play, Broncos trailed 48 to 42. Quick baskets by White and W'olfe and the winning baskets by Richendifer made it 50 to 48 with 40 seconds to play. Blessing made 18 points for Kearneyg White had 18 for Hastings. Riding too high after three straight wins, Broncos journeyed to Lincoln and took one on the chin from the cellar-dwelling Nebraska Wesleyan, 48 to 27.

Over the Net, Into the Cup Good in all but the decisive 'tournament play that counted, Bronco golfers and tennis men were upset in the NCAC meet last spring at Fremont. Although they took every point against Doane in other matches during the season, Bronco golfers placed one point behind the Tigers in the NCAC tournament. Jack Walters, Bronco captain, Was second high man' in the meet. Previously in the season, golfers had taken York, Midland, and Doane for a ride, the lat- ter school being upset twice in the face of the Hastings teemen. Golfers were Jack Walters, captain, Cady Pyne, Robert Swanson, Robert L. Jones, Tom Euhr, and Ben Rogge. Defending the Bronco golf honor this year are Robert L. Jones, Don White, Elmer Divan, and Burneil Greenwood, coached by Mr. Paul Deacon. Netmen put in a not-too-good season, losing to Doane in the tournament and splitting with Midland in another bout. Tennis players did upset York, however, and took Doane for a rise in another session. Led by El Carol Greenwood, captain, tennis teamers were Robert Mclntire, Philip Dowl- ing, Donald Dowling, Verne Magnuson, and Lordie Kaulili. Mr. John M. Moulton is tennis coach. Wlaen the players assembled this fall, Robert Mclntire upset El Carol Greenwood for the local singles championship. There was no doubles play in the local championship runs.

Archery, above, is one of the fall and spring individual sports emphasized in the advanced physical education classes, a year-round program in classes and in the women's athletic association includes participation in hockey, volleyball, basketball, and softball, tennis, badminton, ping pong, and swimming, and the annual spring festival, which is in charge of the women's department. 125 Cooperation Cooperation and good sportsmanship are the two most important lessons taught in team sports in the women's physical educa- tion department. In class work for first-year students and in intramural competition in the women's athletic association, women athletes take part in a year-round program of hockey, volley- ball, basketball, and baseball. When the referee calls bully, he indi- cates only a technical decision in a fast game of hockey, the first team sport to be introduced in women's sports in the fall. Freshmen women are introduced into the year-round sports program with a few weeks of intense drill on dribbles, drives, and formationsg spirited games soon follow. Practices in the late afternoon give many girls enough points to become members of WAAQ hockey enthusiasts practice out-of doors long after less hearty coeds are driven to seek steam-heated buildings. A hockey game between freshmen and sophomore girls is part of the annual freshman- sophomore olympics, interclass competition in hockey is sponsored in WAA when enough up- perclass women participate in the hockey pro- gram. Geraldine Gillespie was in charge of the WAA hockey program throughout the season. 126 Above: Iva Lea Losey, left, and Rita Reed, right, bully, and Lynn Tofsted, center, waits eagerly for the hockey ball. Below: Class competition is held in girls' basketball. Left to right: Miriam Samelson, Margery Hall, Alyce Tan- ton, Shirley Newcomb, Joy Heal, and Patricia Webster. After freezing weather drives amazon coeds indoors, calls of side out and point here echo through the gymnasium for the dur- ation of the volleyball season, and broken fing- ernails and stiff shoulders all over the campus attest to the popularity of the game. Freshmen women play the game in class as one unit of their program on team sports. WAA members practice after school hours in the gymnasium and receive WAA points in participating in the program. In the intersociety volleyball tournament Sigma Tau Sigma captured top honors, keeping all opponents subdued on the other side of the net in the contest which was sponsored by the women's physical education department. When a sufficient number of upperclass women participate in the WAA volleyball pro- gram, an interclass tournament is held. Gene Coulter was volleyball chairman for the women's athletic association throughout the season. Sportsmanship Interclass tournaments, intersociety meets, and freshman-sophomore competi- tion in the traditional olympics furnish the most prominent activity in team sports. WAA practices for major team activi- ties are held three times weekly after school hoursg women may attend as many practices as they have time for, and may receive WAA credit for attendance. Above: Doris Patton returns the volleyball in a pre-tournament practice game before the intersociety competi- tion.

Below: Betty Fahrnbruch crouches low to catch the softball in a game just outside the gymnasium. Left to right, in the game: Bernice Schal- decker, Olinda Herrmann, Betty Fahrnbruch, and Virginia Bulger. Wil- ma Andrews strolls unconcernedly in the background. After a Christmas vacation period of in- activity, women sportsters return to the campus to begin vigorous practice in perfecting basket- ball technique. Freshmen women spend many class per? iods in learning how to pass, pivot, and outwit opponents. More time is spent in learning how to send the ball spinning through the bucket. After a few practice games interclass and intersociety tournaments are begun.. Upperclass women practice three times weekly in the XVAA-sponsored basketball rehearsals in the gymnasium. When enough upperclass women desire it, an intersociety tourney is held in basketball. Alpha Phis successfully defended their title as intersociety champions and for the fifth consecutive year were crowned basketball cha'mpions, winning over Chi Psis in the finals with a score of 33 to 16. Lola Toews was manager of the WAA basketball season. Mention of spring to a member of the Women's physical education department brings to her mind one of two things. If she is a tom- boy, she will think about piles of bats, balls, catchersf mitts, and knees and elbows skinned from sliding for home base. If she is a feminine little thing, she will think of new dance steps and filmy costumes, or wonder who the queen of the annual spring festival will be. Baseball-mindied girls played games in freshmen gym classes, and upperclass women hit home runs after school hours in the WAA- sponsored softball program. Ruth Weyer was leader of the WAA soft- ball activities throughout the season. Although most of the dancers were taken from the ranks of physical education classes, volunteers tried out for the coveted positions as dancers in the annual spring festival, which is under the direction of Miss Katharine Zisko. 127 Individual Skill Badminton, tennis, ping pong, swim- ming, and other individual sports are em- phasized in the program of the women's physical education department, they are taught in second year classes and are fea- tured as well in the program of the wom- en's athletic association. Class tournaments and college tournaments are held for the net games, and splash parties furnish re- creation and WAA points for mermaids on the campus. Left: Swimmers Marial Brinkema, Doris Fisher, Alice Landis, and Betty Lou Brown splash in the pool. Right: Rayborna Smiley runs over the line and snaps back a hard return in a badminton game. Below left: Lola Toews reaches to send back the ping pong ball in a game wtih Bernice Schaldecker. Below right: Lynn Tofsted serves while her partner, Patricia Webster, watches in a tennis game of doubles. Singles and doubles tournaments in ping pong, tennis, and badminton, and splash ses- sions in swimming were high points in the year of individual sports for women. Second year women's physical education students practiced forehand and backhand drives first in tennis and then in badminton and ping pong, others in the beginning and advanced swimming classes rehearsed new strokes in the YM training pool down town. WAA points were given those who entered tournaments in individual sports, high rank- ings in the tourneys provided additional points. Splash nights at the swimming pool gave an additional group of WAA earnings. No particular time limit was set for in- dividual sports, and birdie-smashing badminton players and celluloid-chasing ping pongists played from September to June. 128 Connie Ra was crowned badminton ueen - 1 Y 1 . q late in A rilg at the time this book went to -P . 1 u I press, this year's victors in tennis and ping pong had notyet been decided. Tennis, a fair-weather game, was under the supervision of Helene Burchess, last year's champion, badminton was managed by Ruth Haines, high ranking player last year in singles and doubles, ping pong was under the leader- ship of Doris Ruth Jacobson. Iva Lea Losey took care of the swimming program at the YMCA pool. In connection with swimming, where tournaments are impossible, the WAA spon- sored a group of splash nights, when all girls who were interested could go to the pool and splash and paddle as they wished. Exhibitions in diving and water races of various sorts livened the evening for rubber-capped mer- maids. Organization With the earning of sufficient points made simple enough so that many girls can qualify, the womenis athletic association is the or- ganized group for women's sports on the cam- pus. Participating in group sports, playing in individual contest tournaments, assisting with activities of the WAA and other programs furnish points. Governed by a council and cab- inet, WAA sponsors an autumn tea and a springtime banquet among its social events. Above: XVAA cabinet members meet in Miss Zisko's office. Left to right: Lola Toews, Elane Wilcox, Dorothy Jacobson, Ruth Weyer, Miss Kather- ine Zisko, Frances Ambler, Connie Ray, Dorothy Krieger, Norma Lindemann, Gene Coulter, Betty Fahrnbruch. Below: Womenis H club members discuss new equipment and rules. Left to right: Lola Toews, Connie Ray, Elane XVilcox. Providing a program of womenis sports throughout the entire year, the women's ath- letic association sponsored intramural competi- tion in seven different fields-hockey, volley- ball, basketball, softball, tennis, badminton, and ping pong. Those who participated in the WAA pro- gram were given points in the group, and upon the attaining of 70 points, girls were eligible for membership in the organization. Awards of shields, sweaters, and blankets were presented upon the acquisition of further points. Early in May the group sponsored the an- nual high school play day, when feminine high school athletes visited the campus and took part in the round of activities planned for the entire day. The campus was transformed into a huge ranch to carry out the western theme. A tea in September in Bellevue house in- troduced freshmen women to the duties and functions of the women's athletic association, officers and cabinet members, as well as faculty sponsors, were introduced at that time. Cabinet and council members in charge of the year's program were Constance Ray, presi- dent, Norma Lindemann, point chairman, Bette Walters, social chairman, Elane NVilcoX, secretary, Dorothy Jacobson, treasurer, and Frances Ambler, historian. Intramural manager, Dorothy Krieger, publicity chairman, Betty Fahrnbruch, archery, Norma Lindemann, tennis, Helene Burchess, volleyball, Gene Coulter, badminton, Ruth Haines, ping pong, Doris Ruth Jacobson, swim- ming, Iva Lea Losey, basketball, Lola Toews, softball, Ruth Weyer, and hockey, Geraldine Gillespie. New members were initiated into the or- ganization in May. In addition to the cabinet, old members included the following: Jean Benson, Katherine Fagan, Barbara Forrester, Olinda Herrmann, Viola Kampfe, Roberta Masten, Eleanor Silkett, Olive Mae Stanford, Patty Stratton, Norma Neeley, Marjorie Berger, Nancy Collier, Ruth Lanham, and Dorothy Wfeyer. 129 ic Bronco I.1fe Qu1et Hours, Talk Fests, 5 Q i ii 1 1 .Q - ff- .. . - W N ' f rl - -4 ., l M1dn1ght Feeds Top: Alexander hall girls gather in the parlor.

Between 9:45, when the doors are locked, and 10:30, when the lights are out, gossip sessions, hair- putting-up for the girls, games of bridge, chinese checkers, and tic-tac-toe, are the order of the mo- ment. On Sunday evenings girls often augment con- tents of their Sunday evening lunch sacks from the dining hall with concoctions of their own mixed up in the utility kitchenette rooms. During Christ- mas vacation some of the fellows from the men's dormitory did their own cooking in a kitchenette in Ringland hall. During the day the light clack of typewriter keys interrupts quiet hours when dormitory resi- dents retype term papers, plot out themes, outline history, and write letters home. Each year the dormitories hold Open House, when rooms are on display for other students and faculty members. Students in dormitories govern themselves. The three womenis groups are banded together into a larger body, the women,s student government ot- ganization, which coordinates the work of the separ- ate groups on occasion. Officers of Alexander hall are Norma Neeley, president, Oral:-elle Petry, vice- president, Marguerite Wil'son, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Margaret Wliittington, house dean. Officers of Clarke hall, women's cooperative dormitory, are Margaret Gorman, president, and Miss Kathleen Scheide, house dean. Taylor hall officers are Mar- garet McCown, president, Barbara Jenkins, vice-presi- dent, Dorothy Auble, secretary, Betty Lou Brown, treasurer, Evelyn Adams, social chairman, and Miss Katharine Zisko, house dean. Bob Baskin is mayor of Ringland hall. Margaret McCoWn is president of the women's student government association.
