Harris, Jr. Photographer Larry Frazier Business manager McCook College McCook, Nebraska Twenty-Seventh year Foreword The blue sapphire, long known as the most precious of all stones, has been chosen as the symbol of the year of 1956-57. Many strokes of the master-engraver are required to engrave the perfect stone; and the many facets of college life show the care taken to enable each student to realize and achieve his full abilities. Class work prepares each for his place in society. Clubs and activities bring to light his social life. Athletics emphasize the hard, clean-cut brilliance so characteris- tic of the true sapphire. As careful cutting and polishing trans- form the drab grey stone into a thing of awesome beauty, so the training and cul- ture received in McCook College enable the student to emerge a sound, worthy citizen. Now the firmament glows with living sapphires. β Milton. k H itkeb S ' .

The Wisdom of the gov- ernment is no smarter than the wisdom of the governed, was the subject for President R. G. Brook ' s annual address to students. Know all there is to know about your product, because your life depends on it, and tomorrow may be too late. These words sum up the philosophy of Ralph G. Brooks, school administrator, teacher, lawyer, former college debater, and for- mer national champion orator. He received his A. B. degree from Wesleyan University in 1925 and his A. M. degree from Nebraska University in 1932. He also attended the Nebraska Law school.

Mr. Brooks was McCook ' s Boss of the Year in 1953. He is past president of Nebraska Schoolmasters Club, and past district governor of Lions International. Educator, Lawyer Shows the Way He has been superintendent of schools β Cedar Rapids, Hartington, Wymore, Audubon, Iowa, and McCook since 1947; he has also served as president of Mc- Cook College since 1947. Mr. Brook ' s oratorical ability and al- ways-appropriate practical advice have made him the most popular speaker in town for students and adults. Interested in government himself, he encourages students to study well all facts of local, state and national politics. Among other things, he emphasizes the importance of knowing one ' s own abilities and limitations. The more you learn, the more you realize what you do not know, he advised students.

Seniors Give Juniors Picnic The senior class of 1957 can be justly proud of the accomplishments of their members. One of the first social events of the year was the senior-sponsored all-school picnic held in the lower shelter house north of the campus. Following the pic- nic an hour-dance was held in the gym. The committee for planning the pic- nic was Joan Hummel, Jerry Bruntz, Jeanie Armstrong, Dave Hudson, Karen Scott, LeAnn Lindbeck, J. T. Harris, and Larry Frazier. The officers elected at the first gen- eral class meeting were Larry Frazier, president, LeAnn Lindbeck, vice-presi- dent, and Betty Batterton, secretary- treasurer. From the ranks of the 1957 seniors have emerged some outstanding individ- uals, one of which has been recognized nationally. Elmer Trail, the sparkling half-back, was voted on the All-Ameri- can Junior College team of 1957. Other outstanding players were Don Jussel, Larry Unger, Clyde Butz, and Lee Fort in. Also popular with the student body, Elmer Trail was elected the King of the Color Day festivities, with LeAnn Lind- beck serving at his side as Queen. The senior attendants were Betty Bat- terton, Jean Boyle, Lee Fortin, and Clyde Butz. This year ' s Color Day activities saw a departure from the usual as it was decided to decorate Norris Avenue in- stead of building floats. A Coronation Ball was held after the football gaJne at which Elmer and LeAnn were crowned. The seniors plan an all-school party in the spring. All seniors look forward to the Ivy Day, which is held in the spring at the close of the term. An Ivy Day Queen is chosen and the traditional Ivy is planted. Each class that has graduated from Mc- Cook College has an Ivy planted on the campus. A highlight of graduation is the senior breakfast the day before graduation. The faculty and the seniors have this last get-together for old times. The senior class of 1957 will long re- main in the memories of the faculty and the juniors as being one of the outstand- ing classes in debate, athletics, and ap- proximately 25 per cent of the senior class are Korean Veterans.

Betty Batterton, president, led the group in many activities advised by the faculty sponsor. Miss Flora Dutcher. The first thing on the agenda was the formation of a cabinet.

Betty Batterton, Shirley Vap, and Syl- via Vap, were elected respectively to the positions, president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer.

The senate, under the leadership of John T. Harris, Jr., LeAnn Lindbeck, Clyde Butz, and Mr. Hubert Hutt, spon- sored the annual Christmas Prom. This formal, the big event of the winter season, was deemed a huge success. Concessions at all football and bas- ketball games were handled by the Sen- ate. The popular snack bar was a fund- raising project of the group. The Senate plans to sponsor and pro- mote another formal dance early in the spring. The student ' s voice in school affairs has proved the most influential organiza- tion in the school and one to which every student aspires. STAR-MAKERS.

Issued in November, the directories were great- ly appreciated by students and faculty alike. Officers of the organization, elected in the fall are as follows: President, Lee Fortin; vice-president, Jim Mcllmoyle, and secretary-treasurer, Darwin Voss. This year, for the first time, the Men ' s Organization adopted a new form of gov- ernment. Each club in the college, and both classes, elected representatives which formed the Men ' s Organization Council. With Mr. John Erickson and Mr. Robert Pullen, the group formed all major policies. The men felt that this form of organization provided a true example of democracy, and the new plan proved a success. INDIAN BRAVES.

Its thirty-eight members include all college men who have served in the armed forces. Many have seen overseas duty, and most are Korean War veterans. One of the most important club activi- ties is the Veterans convocation held this year on November 9. The vets completely took charge of the program, presenting the colors and honoring award winners. Especially hon- ored was Garrett Nelson, who received the Navy Unit Citation. Another project of the veterans has been a scholarship fund. This fund is re- plenished each year with money-making activities. Such projects as these have upheld the ideals of servicemen in civil ian life. OFFICERS AND GENTLEMEN.

Under the able leadership of LeAnn Lindbeck and Miss Helen Storms, the organization has be- come a very important influence in school affairs. One of its most important projects was an Italian dinner, open to all. The girls served homemade spaghetti, salad, cakes and pies; and entertainment was provid- ed for the crowd. As a get-acquainted measure for new and old students, the Council held a tea at the beginning of the year. The senior girls were given little sisters and intro- duced them. Students and faculty mem- bers alike welcomed the opportunity for new friendships. The group also sponsored an extreme- ly successful dance after the Casper bas- ketball games.

One of the more important social activi- ties for college girls was given by the Waconda Council. This was the annual Christmas party. The girls drew names for gifts and went caroling at the hospi- tal. After the caroling, the party ad- journed to the basement of Miss Storms for refreshments and an exchange of gifts. This Christmas party proved to be one of the most enjoyable events of the year. One of the most important functions of the Women ' s Organization is showing appreciation for the many benefits the girls receive. One such way is provided by the annual Mother-Daughter Ban- quet. Each year in the springtime, the women of the college and their mothers or guests gather for a dinner. Gaily dec- orated tables and a good program show the girls ' honor for their mothers. The women, in the minority as usual, have shown much interest and enthusi- asm for school affairs. HAPPY GOSSIPPERS. Letha Wolf, Linda Peterson, Betty Benedict, Carol Stute,.

Some were held in the college; others in the YMCA. Bowhng played an important part in club activities. The girls reserved the bowhng alley for several nights, and the effort was termed very successful. A high spot of the year was the girls ' volleyball tournament, sponsored by the WAA. A basketball tournament is plan- ned for the second semester. Other WAA-sponsored programs in- clude a skating party and a fun hour after a basketball game. STRIKERS.

The McCook speakers tallie d a total of 28 wins and seven losses from their four scheduled tourneys at Kearney, Omaha, Lincoln, and Winfield, Kansas. In Omaha John Harris and Larry Fra- zier emerged with a record of three wins and one loss to rate as an excellent team In Winfield, Kansas, Steve Frazier and Betty Batterton, both first-year college debaters, made an impressive mark for themselves by defeating a number of senior college teams- and battling their way into the semi-finals.

' Β£ ' Fire of Brilliance r Tribe Takes 5-JC Title The gallant Indians charged victoriously through the 1956 season to garner eight victories and one loss for another impres- sive record. The Tribe, with this magnificent rec- ord, made possible a fourth consecutive Nebraska Junior College Conference Championship for McCook College. All- Conference titles were awarded Clyde Butz, Lee Fortin, Don Jussel, La rry lin- ger, and Elmer Trail. Elmer Trail was also named to the Junior College All-American Football Team. This is the third straight year that Coach Confer has produced an All-Amer- ican at McCook College. The opposition ' s scoring average was 13 points per game β the Indians ' aver- aged 40.8 points per game. The Indians kicked open the ' 56 sea- son with a rough and tumble victory over Norfolk. Darwin Voss, after a scoreless first quarter, scored the first touchdown for the season. Fleet-footed Elmer Trail picked up 150 yards in the tussle for a second win over Trinidad. The Indians met their match when they ran into Pueblo for their first loss. Pueblo drew first blood when Joe Marti- nez passed to Leo Swain early in the first quarter. The final score read Pueblo 33β McCook 12. Winning an important Empire Con- ference game, the McCook Tribe troun- ced the Fort Lewis Aggies at McCook ' s Weiland Field. Trail ' s outstanding play- ing netted four touchdowns for the Tribe in this game. The hosting Indians gave the fans a rapid-fire, play-calling scheme that saw them run 81 plays from scrimmage. Coach Confer initiated a no-huddle at- tack against the Aggies that was com- mon during the ' 20s. The Indians provided a big victory for homecoming night when they walloped Dodge City Conquistadors 26-6. INDIANS ALL.

Elmer Trail charges over for pay- dirt as Allen Young, Aggie halfback, makes a futile attempt to stop another Trail T-D. McCook College opened scoring against the Otero Rattler of Lajunta when Clyde Butz drove over from the one-yard line. In the last quarter Butz dashed over from the 18-yard line and Sherrod Hanson plunged over for the extra point. A run-away victory from the Fairbury Bombers put the Tribe into a position to vie for the 5-JC Crown. Indian scoring was widely distributed in this game. Elmer Trail scored 28 points on four touchdowns and four extra points. Trail chalked up his T-D ' s on runs of 40, 39, and 23 yards and a pass from Butz. Keeping their eyes on the Empire Conference title, Coach Confer ' s Indians blasted the Northeastern College Plains- men, 56-0. In the fourth quarter Byron Loescher sprinted 89 yards for a T-D. Bill Austin passed to Bernard Finch for another Tribe T-D, and Hanson went over for the extra point. The triumphant Indians brought home their fourth consecutive Nebraska 5-JC Conference Championship by defeating the Scottsbluff Cougars there, 40-7, on a snow covered field. The last score of the game came when Sherrod Hanson ran the ball over from the 18-yard line, and Clyde Butz shot through for the extra point. With the 5-JC Title, the Tribe ended another very successful season. V LINE PLAY. Darwin Voss calls it quits as Northeastern ' s Paul Wachholz brings him down on the 40-yard line. Darwin ' s determination netted a first and ten. DOWN BOY! The situation is getting rough for Byron Loescher as Aggies Billy Johnson and Frank Mastriona close in from two sides. MEAN LOOK. A quick glance to the left is enough to convince Byron Loescher that the going is getting tougher. Conquistador Bryce Heinz plunged for the tackle. T-D. Clyde Butz, 46, slides in for six more points against the Cougars. The victory over the Cougars, 40-7, gave the Indians their fourth 5-JC Title. THREE POINT LANDING. Darwin Voss stumbles to the sod as pursuing Conquistadors charge in for the kill. Darwin netted 20 yards on this run. IT ' S GOOD. Clyde Butz, not in any position to see the referee, has just plunged through the Dodge City eleven for six more Indian points. ALL RIGH T, ALREADY. Darwin Voss finds the going rough as the Conquistadors close the gap. The Tribe pulled through for a Homecom- ing victory, 26-6. PURSUIT. Sherrod Hanson charges away from Scottsbluffs eleven for a Tribe T-D.

L ki Indians Fall By Narrow Margin The McCook College Indians charged into the 1956-57 basketball season under the leadership of Coach Fred Nanni, who came to McCook from Holyoke, Colo- rado. He was football and basketball coach at Holyoke. The first five opened the loop season against the Otero Rattlers. In this fierce battle the score advantage varied by precious small points. The Indians fell 73-70. The Tribe, on the warpath, against Luther, won a 5-JC game. The Lamar Antelopes overcame a fighting McCook Indian team by the slim margin of six points. The Indians again lost when the in- vading Trinidad Trojans downed them 69-76. The Trojans took an early lead, 32-42, at the half-time mark. The In- dians scored seven points more than the Trinidad team in the third period to put them within three points of their opposi- tion. 1956-57 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE DATE OPPONENTS SCORE McCOOK December 10 Otero 73 70 There December 11 Lamar 75 54 There December 13 Luther 58 69 Here December 18 Pueblo 114 71 Here December 19 Lamar 73 67 Here January 12 Casper 76 57 Here January 18 Norfolk 75 63 Here January 19 Fairbury 71 77 Here January 25 Casper 73 62 There January 26 Scottsbluff 75 72 There February 1 Trinidad 75 69 Here February 8 Northeastern 92 79 There February 13 Norfolk 86 79 There February 14 Luther 46 53 There February 15 Fairbury 72 51 There February 22 Northeastern 77 60 Here February 23 Scottsbluff 64 77 Here February 27 Trinidad 87 69 There February 28 Pueblo 93 45 There NET ARTISTS.
