The twenty-iour members ot the cho- rus took part in the Musicalia on No- vember 27, in which they did opening and finale numbers. They were fea- tured in the assembly commemorating Hbraham Lincoln's birthday on Febru- ary l2 and also attended District Music Contest, which was held in Kearney on Plpril l9.

Supporting the activities of the club were the bake sales held during the year. Home-baked goods were do- nated by the members and the protits supplemented club dues in paying for the activities. While only cabinet members re- ceived pins designating their positions, all members having received 300 points could obtain a letter. The points were obtained by attending meetings and participating in the activities. First, second and third year letters were given, according to the number ot years in GHQ, on Honor Day at the end ot the year. Ht the conclusion to their year, the girls gathered for their annual banquet in the spring, thus completing the busy year.

Lettermen Maintain High Standards Kearney l-ligh's K-Club, the organiza- tion for letter Winners in boys' sports, is one of the few high school clubs that sets up a definite qualification that must be met before one can become a member. This fact makes it doubly an honor to belong to the K-Club and indirectly provides the group with outstanding individuals, since Winning an athletic letter is not an easy achievement, Hthletic ability is needed of course, but that is not enough. H letter winner must have the determination and the tenactiy to tackle the hardships of practice and training restrictions. Therefore, the K-Club is composed Page 46 of boys who have proven that they are capable of getting things done. Sponsored by football coach Iohn Ruhbaugh, the K-Club chose Dave Kir- wan to be their president, and Keith Kearney handled the duties of the vice president and the secretray-treasurer, One of the tasks of the treasurer was to handle the money obtained from the advertising which appears on the handsome folders which the club fur- nished to Kearney sports fans at all home football and basketball games. The primary purpose for which this money was used was the purchasing of letters for all those who qualified for them. Athletic Club Buys Letters With the addition ot wrestling and tennis to Kearneys sport program the club showed an increase in number as these were classified as major sports. The K-Club held to the practice ot honoring the members' parents. Dads' Day was again observed when at the McCook game, the fathers ot the toot- ball players were seated directly be- hind the players. .Q Mother-Son Banquet was arranged and in the spring a Father-Son Picnic was held.

Bearcats Share Big Ten Honors Ht the close of the 1956 football season, the Kearney Bearcats had chalked up seven wins and one loss. The first of the seven wins featured the Bearcats dropping North Platte l3-7. With a l-U record, Kearney rolled on to mark up their second victory at the expense of the Holdrege Dusters in a Southwest Conference battle with a winning score of l9-l3. Their third straight victory came after the Bearcats dropped the Cozad l-laymakers l9-5. This game was also a major Southwest Conference win. Kearney's next battle was one of the best games of the year. The Bearcats upset Lexington, breaking their win- ning streak and defeating them l4-7. The Bearcats then went to Scotts- bluff for a Big Ten game. Kearney Was triumphant and won again, downing Scottsbluff l2-U. Kearney's next game stretched their win record to 6 wins and no losses. The Bearcats downed Hlliance for an easy win, 35-U. The next game for the Bearcats was the only loss of the season. McCook, an under-rated team, slipped by the Bearcats for a 20-l3 upset. This was both a Big Ten and a Southwest Con- ference game. Dave Kirwan, Kearney's ace halfback, looks lor an opening as Ierry Harris sets up No. 56 lor a key block.

Coach Frank Sajevic's l955-l957 basketball crew could only muster five victories but were the victims of three one-point losses. ln addition, they pressed several highly rated teams. Two victories over the Pllliance Bull- dogs secured fourth place for the Cats in the West Big Ten, while wins over Curtis and Gothenburg rated the Cats ahead of those two clubs in the South- west Conference with a fifth place finish Coach Frank Saievic's varsity basketball squad consisted of. second row: Doug Fortik, Bob Iensen, Ed Stroud. Hllen Robinson and Iohn Hein. Front row: Iohn Payne. Dave Kirwan. Ron Beard, Roland Higgins and Kenny Greeno. Ierry Harris was absent when the picture was taken. Twelve Losses Mar Cats Record The remaining victory was obtained in a thrilling season opener which saw Kearney edge by Minden, 44-43. flllthough wishing never changes the past, it improves our recollection of the l956-l957 season to suppose that if only six more points had been scored at the right time and place, Kearney's record would have been much brighter. The 50-Sl loss to McCook, the narrow 53-54 defeat at the hands of Cozad, and the heartbreaking loss of Sl-62 to Lexington-had all these been victories, the Bearcats would have had an 8-8 record and finished second in the SWC Page 55 Ed Stroud hghls for a rebound wlth Thompson C413 of McCook as Bearcat Holland Hxgcms 4445 looks on McCook defeated Kearney 51 64 Doug Fortxk CSU cmd Larry Chatterton C323 of Scottsbluff race for rebound posxtxon as Ed Stroud 1421 hxts for two agalnst the Scottsbluff Bearcats But 1n actual1ty the games were losses lust as much so as the 22 55 loss to Grand lsland or the hum1l1at1ng 42 82 defeat by Hasttngs Roundtng out the l2 losses were an addttlonal defeat by McCook plus frustratlon at the hands of l-loldrege once North Platte twlce and Scottsbluff three ttmes The th1rd loss to Scottsbluff was tn d1str1ct tournament play Page 56 Sentors dommated the Bearcat squad wtth Ron Beard garnerlng top scortng honors for the second stralght year Ed Stroud and Hllen Hobmson were the next top polnt contrtbutors The only 1un1or to play cons1stently was Iohn Hem Whose 1mprovement throughout the season rated hlm a starttng berth at the end of the season ferry I-larrls Doug Fortlk and Dave Ktrwan formed the rema1n1ng regulars The season for the home fans could be termed successful as the Cats used ntng four home games Unpackxng the basketball equlpment as another hoop season got under way were the student managers for the wxnter sport B111 Nelson and Steve OBnen f their home court advantage in Win- ,f- ' Q I 5 !l !
