Fourteen years at Midland THE PRESIDENT “College IJfe Today This is a time when many college students are wondering whether a college education is worth while. If education is to fit one for a specific occupation or profession, and if this field of labor is so well supplied that no position is open to the graduate, then one may properly ask the question, “Is education worth while?” But a college education is something more than a chance to earn a living. It is an introduction to the achievements of great minds; it is a treasure on which the mind may continuously feed, and it is a stimulus that impels one to high endeavor. Education ennobles the humblest homes. It beautifies the most sordid sur- roundings. It is always worth while to gain an education. Neither money nor position can take its place. Page I o Horace F.

John Anderson Vice-President Glcndinc Johnson Secretary-Treasurer Louis Petersen Members of the class of thirty-four stand with heads bowed at the memory of the members of our class whom the Father in His great wisdom has called to Himself. The lives of Mary Crouse and of John Lentell will ever he cher- ished in our memories. Only a few of the large number of freshmen who entered Midland in the fall of thirty have remained to he graduated. The ranks of the class have been greatly thinned by the stress of the times, but there can be no doubt that some of the finest of that large group have remained to show to the world what can happen when Midland adds polish to quality. Our first year under Louis Petersen was marked by strong beginnings in all fields: athletics, dramatics, forensics, music and in the class room. We over- whelmed the sophomores in the Olympics to give the world an indication of our potential strength. The second year of our school life was started off with a bang. We elected Rickey Wilson as our chief, and proceeded to win the Olympics for the second time to give another indication that our class was a record breaker. A whole year of similar accomplishments followed. The third year, with another fine leader, Paul Wicgman, accomplishments by members of the junior class were taken as a matter of course. Growth by individuals was one of the outstanding things of this year. There came a feeling that there was purpose behind all activities of our group. The last year, the best year, under John Anderson's direction, the book of the class history is finished. Four years of successful achievements—records that will stand for some time to come. Four straight basketball champion- ships, with a member of our class leading the conference scorers each year. Four years of successful football, track, choir trips, music, forensics, journalism, class room work and personal relationships with students and faculty members. In the annals of the college certain names will stand out as the names of those who have accomplished what others hoped to achieve. In athletics— Rickey Wilson, Garnet Davis, Bud Engel, and the football queens, Dorothy Kusel and Estella Loscke. In journalism—Martha Jackson, Glendine John- son, Annie Sink and Loutz Gage. In dramatics—Rosalie Teas, Faye Roberts and Vance Baird. In music—Charlotte Byars, Eddie Raitt and Caroll Nygren. In forensics—Rosalie Teas, Eddie Raitt and Vance Baird. In campus leader- ship—Louis Petersen and Rickey Wilson. r,wc 23 jft . £LcU- - ' ' ' ' ' chYY«pY£Y J Lou , c. fc - ilo-K. t r+' ft.

Versatility, there! THE WARRIOR race 20 Class of 935 President lillcn Servine Secretary-Treasurer Marie Garbers Class Representative Leeland Sober Three years ago a flock of freshmen descended on Midland’s campus with usual hopes of taking the college by storm. Since then the class of 1935 has spread its wings and succeeded admirably in contributing leaders to all forms of activity at Midland. Howard Hook was elected president of the class in 1931, while Grace Brown entered upon her career of five consecutive terms as treasurer. Six men of the class were on the football squad, and four on the basketball team, two of them members of the conference champions. As green timber we were unsuccessful in winning the annual Olympics, and consequently, in discarding our green raiment. However, as sophomores, we put the first year class men in their place by defeating them in the Olympics. Maurice Ellison served as president in 1932. This year’s class contributed seven iron-clad Warriors for the football team, and Joe Kounovsky and Hank Bronson to the championship basketball team. This year the class, with Elwyn Judd as chairman, sponsored a junior carnival to raise money for the Warrior. Mary Holbert anti Leeland Soker were elected carnival King and Queen. In the campus who’s who contest, Faythe Boldt was elected beauty queen for the third consecutive year, Mary Idalenc Anderson was chosen “Indian Maid”, and Beulah Meyer was voted the most conscientious girl. Miss Meyer did valuable service as president of the Y. W. C. A. Both girls and boys of the class were prominent in athletics this year. Joe Kounovsky was again a member of the championship five. Patricia Rieper was W. A. A. president. The class was also well represented in football and track. The junior class has been prominent in journalism this year, taking upon themselves the responsibility of editing a yearbook. Fred Davis was editor of the Midland the first semester, and other juniors were included in the staff. fry� � Faytiie Boldt Fremont The reason they all Boldt to the bookstore.

Pretty good looking, eh? what? Well, we are good! Remember that annual class Olympics against the infants? Well, we plowed them under! Remember our heroic boys who made their hands bleed from pulling on the rope? Miss Lucas, who should really enter the big leagues with her baseball slinging ability? and our girls’ and boys’ relay teams who were high steppers? Well, after putting the kindergartners in their place, we immediately began to show the upper classmen of what we were made. Gray Bream, our promising romeo of last year, came into the lime light as class prexy and also gained one of the leads in the Midland Players’ major production, “The Importance of Being Ernest.” William Beckenhauer, our class athlete, made himself known in basket- ball and football, and was rewarded by being our class representative to the student council. Other heroes of the gridiron from our ranks were: Lucian Fuhrmeister, Gus Koudcle and William Nelson. On the basketball court, William “Speck” Nelson won a well deserved position among the first five. Our little sandy headed athlete might well be called our shining Warrior—we're proud of him. Howard Hook and Dick Thomsen, best looking Warrior of 1934, were also members of the champion tricksters. Midland's cheer leader, Joe Koory, and assistant student manager, Melvin Gienapp, are among the leaders of our ranks. There! You now have the roll of our celebrities. There are many un- mentioned, however, who hold influential places on our campus by being members of the Acappella choir, Midland Players, Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. and the social organizations of Kal and Wynn societies. Next year we’ll be upper classmen! Then we will show you what we really can do!

THE WARRIOR Class of 1937 THE WARRIOR OFFICERS President Emery Hoenshell Vice-President ........................Vernon Lier!{ Secretary-Treasurer Ellen Paulsen With a “Pardon us! attitude, and plenty of the traditional Frosh dumb- ness, the kindergarten installment landed in the old friendly institute in prep- aration for individual spurts to fame, fortune, and what not. Albert Einstein’s title of the “World’s Most Brilliant Man was severely shaken when Maurice “Mo Christensen, Fremont, tied the highest Morgan Mental Test score ever to be made at Midland college with a quotient of 162. Political organization was made a reality with the election of Emery Hoenshell, Fremont, as class president. He was assisted by Vernon Licrk, North Platte, vice-president and Ellen Paulsen, Omaha, secretary and treasurer. With the introduction of Freshman caps by the Student Court, radical forces advocated everything from revolution to dissolution, but the warning influence of a few paddles soon re-established order for the administration. The first bloodshed occurred when an irresistible force met an im- movable object on Olympic day. In other words, the embattled Sophs, with a smaller detachment, refused to fire until they saw the white of our eyes. When they did “open up however, the Frosh were fatigued from waiting so long and lost the meet by a “frog’s hair.” Midland’s rookie class was well represented in extracurricular activities. Varsity basketball—that team with the national reputation—absorbed four Frosh athletes: Joel Lyman, Wakefield; Lloyd Jones, Leigh, and Bob Lewis and Maurice Christensen, both of Fremont. Marlowe Roether, Schuyler; Lloyd Jones, Leigh, and John and Joel Lyman, Wakefield, saw a lot af action under fire for the old friendly college on the football field. Prof. Herman Gimmestad’s 1934 edition of Pedestal Pounders included Ralph Ingold, Christ J. Petrow, and William Studley, all of Fremont, and Frank Hickson, Valley. In addition, Frosh were active in Music, Dramatics, Journalism, and social life in general. More important is the fact that our lungs were just as healthy and our voices just as lusty as those upper classmen who have practiced cheering for three other championship teams. Wait! and watch the marvelous spirit we will develop from such a start! i Top row: Swoixxla, Dvorak, Schnabel, Koycn, Ingold, Anderson. Gaddy, John Lyman, Rohn, Gigstad, Harman. Middle row: Becker.

Vv' THE WARRIOR Page 37 THE WARRIOR Western Theological Seminary William F. Rangelkr, A.M., D.D., Dean The resumption of the annual Pastors-Students’ Conference on April 26, 27 of this year, after its being discontinued in 1933, brings to a close a year of many achievements for Western Theological seminary in its work of pre- paring servants for the work of the Kingdom of God. Undiscouraged by a lack of openings for ministers, the enrollment for the year set a new record, with twenty-two regular students the first semester and twenty-three the second. The seminary opened for its fortieth year with an opening service at 10:00 a. m. September 13, at which time an address was made by Rev. ). M. Herbst, Missouri Valley, Iowa. Six seniors, seven middlers and nine juniors were enrolled. One more middler was enrolled at the start of the second semester. A series of sermons by members of the faculty featured the midweek services during the first semester, with seminary communion administered October 10. These were followed by student sermons, delivered from week to week throughout the year, and ending with a farewell sermon from each senior during the last weeks of the second semester. Guest speakers and their topics during the year were: The Rev. J. Gould Wickcy, D.D., executive secretary of the board of education of the U. L. C. A., on “The Work of the Church October 20; the Rev. J. Roy Strock, D.D., president of Andra Christian College of India, on “Education and General Work of our Church in India”; The Rev. Dr. Luther M. Kuhns of Omaha on “Luther and the Reformation, November 10, celebrating the 450th anni- versary of the birth of Martin Luther, and Mr. Arthur G. Black, executive secretary of the laymen’s movement, Washington, D. C., on “Problems of the Church from a Layman’s Standpoint.” The Annual reception for pretheological students at Midland, given by the faculty and students of the seminary, was held October 26 in the sem- inary parlors. A departure was made from the programs of former years, and instead of a speaker, the program was worked out as a broadcast from station WTS, where theologians study. The excellent work of George Whitte- car, announcer, and the talent available at the college, made the program an enjoyable one. The second major social event of the season was the annual banquet for the pretheologs of the junior and senior classes of Midland, held in the seminary parlors February 13. The Rev. W. A. Klink, West Point, was the main speaker. The rivalry between Martin Luther and Western seminaries continued on a friendly basis. Western won two basketball encounters, the first at Lincoln, 16 to 15, and at Fremont, 25 to 19. The annual graduating services were held in Salem Lutheran church April 22. Rev. E. H. Gilmer, Wilber, was the speaker. Page 38 George Eller Leigh The jeweler of this year’s class, George, has earned his way through the seminary by his work, and has also had time to do supply work. Since he solves difficult problems and since he is sure to get real help from “Lou,” he will do much in the service of the Master. Max Gilmer Wilber Max has a head-start on some of the class because he is the son of a minister and knows the work ahead from the inside out. The fact that he is planning to undertake the work with a full knowledge of its difficulties is proof of his devotion to the Master’s calling. Werner Jessen Herman Persistent in all he undertakes, Werner will be one who will stick to the task he tackles till it is done or he is unable to con- tinue. We understand that the music in his services will be ably supervised. George Krebs Fremont Well-liked by all is the president of the student body and the first assistant of “Marie” in the students’ boarding club, (icorge has that happy faculty of making friends and keeping them that will take him far in his work. Leo Nielsen Craig The quiet student of the senior class, I.co, has proved to be popular among the college students just after Dr. Dysinger’s exams. His intellectual ability and his power to concentrate will win recognition and respect for him. Arthur Simonsen Sioux City, Iowa Being the “Beau Brummcl” of the sem- inary seems to aid “Art” in being its super- salesman. He has convinced others of the worth of Bibles and religious books. I Iis persuasiveness and energy will fit him to convince persons of the worth of the Gos- pel Message. THE WARRIOR Page 39 Page 4 THE WARRIOR Top row: Johnson, Scrvinc.

Richard Wilson Vice-President Estella Loseke Secretary-Treasurer Ellen Scrvinc Sjxmsors Dr. W. F. Zimmerman, Miss Alma Karstad The student council, made up of representatives from each class, is the outstanding campus organization in that it directs student government. Its membership includes the president and a representative from each of the four classes, two from the Business school and one faculty member. The purpose of this organization is: to act as an intermediary between the faculty and students; to take measures toward the elevation of the moral standards among students, and to act as board of arbitration for the various organizations on the campus. As in former years, the student council sponsored the all-college affairs: the All-College mixer in the fall, the Hallowe'en party, the Christmas party, the Junior carnival, the Championship frolic closing the fourth victorious basketball season and the All-College spring picnic. The group has been successful this year in distributing the chest funds among the various organizations and in meeting the campus problems that are presented. It had the credit system explained to the lower classmen during chapel by Registrar G. E. Hickman. It also sponsored the debate tournament and a competitive contest for new athletic yells and songs.

Greta Polemic The student court of justice was organized three years ago by the student council in an effort to regulate freshman conduct in observance of rules and traditions: the wearing of caps and arm bands and the behavior on the campus. Membership of this organization is composed of one judge and four jurymen, chosen by the council. The group met once every two weeks, if any complaints were turned in. Complaints against freshmen signed by a witness were handed to the judge by any upper classmen except sophomores. Because the sophomores had just stepped out of the jurisdiction of the court, and because they are not yet wise in the ways of justice when freshmen are concerned, two of them must sign a complaint to make it legal. After the judge receives a complaint, the offender is called before the next session of court to plead his case. Guilt or innocence is decided by the court according to the evidence presented. The penalty is levied by the judge and inflicted by students chosen by him for each case. Freshmen, under the supervision of the court, obeyed the rules and tra- ditions this year with seemingly better grace than they have during previous years. Respect for the court has also been shown by upper classmen and mem- bers of the faculty as well as the under-dogs. -14 Top row: Ferris, Swlman, Taylor. Polcnskc, Pflucjicr.

New girls at Beegle hall are welcomed at a party soon after school be- gins. The “Big Sister movement has helped many a freshman to feel more at home and become better acquainted with rules and traditions on the campus. Beegle hall initiation this year resulted in purchasing the college store’s supply of sardines. “Bceglites annually hold an open house at which time other students and outsiders have an opportunity to see how a Midland co-ed lives.

It is a sister organization to the Blue Key fraternity. Membership in Cardinal Key is based on scholarship, service, loyalty, leadership and character. Each spring the organization taps students who uphold the above mentioned qualifications. During the year Cardinal Key has held regular meetings to stimulate the interest of Midland co-eds in college activities. This organization has aided in sponsoring various tournaments on the campus, and has decorated the chapel for special occasions. A chapel program sponsored entirely by Cardinal Key was the most outstanding activity of the year. At this time the result of a survey on the relation of scholarship and activities among co-eds was announced. Cardinal Key members entertained at a tea, girls whose quotients were three or above after every grade slip period. During Homecoming, a breakfast was held in honor of alumni members of Sigma Lambda Chi and Cardinal Key. Page 4 6 Top row: Ellison. Prof. Gimmestad, Prof. Stahl. Prof. Reck. Flora.

There are now nine active members and fifty-three alumni members. Requisites for membership in Blue Key are scholarship, leadership, service, loyalty and character. Only junior and senior men are eligible. Regular bi-monthly meetings began early last fall to discuss campus problems and to create a spirit of cooperation on the campus. The first social event of the year was a dinner held at the home of Louis Petersen in honor of the Alumni members during the Homecoming week-end. For the fourth consecutive year, Blue Key sponsored an Intra-mural basketball league during the winter months, and an Intra-mural pugball league and Tennis tournament during April and May. Loutz Gage, Vance Baird, Edward Raitt and Darwin Elder were tapped at the mid-year senior tapping. The four were properly initiated at a date party and dinner at Grahams' Gardens. Sophomores and juniors were tapped on Honor day, and were properly initiated at the annual spring banquet of the organization. With a few “stag” parties mixed in, the Blue Key spent an enjoyable as well as a beneficial season. THE WARRIOR Line .|7 THE WARRIOR Top row: Sink, M. Johnson, G. Johnson. Harvey, Jackson. Polcnske.

Although cold weather and snow greeted the delegates, the conference was one of real success and inspiration. Other activities of the Y. W. group include one chapel service and an early Easter service. Different members of the group contributed to the pro- gram for the chapel service. The Easter morning service was held jointly with the Y. M. and the Rev. L. H. Steinhoff, field representative, led the devotions. Through the help of the Y. M., the services of Sherwood Eddy, inter- nationally famous world traveler and an authority on world situations, were secured. Mr. Eddy gave an address in chapel and an evening lecture.

The Midland group acted as hosts to the State Conference of Student Y’s, a three-day pro- gram of inspiration. It also sponsored addresses by local ministers, doctors and celebrities, as well as an address by I)r. Glenn ('lark, nationally known teacher and writer. The high spot in the “Y” this year came with the visit of Dr. Sherwood Eddy, internationally known traveler, writer and lecturer. He gave two ad- dresses and left a great challenge to not only the Midland students and fac- ulty, but to the people of this district. The Y.

THE OXFORD FELLOWSHIP President............................... Blaine Simon Vice-President Dale Flora Secretary-Treasurer Alfred Mendenhall Sponsor.......................... Dr. P. IV. II. Frederic The Oxford Fellowship is composed of students preparing themselves for Christian leadership and service. Bi-monthly meetings are held for the members to gain closer association and sincere communion with God. Programs consist of discussions led by one of its members, and of talks by visiting ministers and professors. The book, “The Road He Trod,” by Strodach, was used as a basis for discussions this year. The Fellowship serves as an instrument to encourage the members, and provides an opportunity to discuss the problems of the student and his chosen profession. The group stands for four ideals, which are represented by the four arms of the cross; sincerity of purpose, service toward fellowmen, sacrifice for the members and spirituality toward God. As practical experience, the members of the group are given the oppor- tunity to lead devotions in chapel once a year. Gospel teams are also or- ganized to visit neighboring churches and lead religious services. The Midland chapter of the Oxford Fellowship was started six years ago that pretheologs might have fellowship with one another and a deeper spir- itual growth. It is one of two Nebraska chapters of the National organiza- tion. The other is at Nebraska Wesleyan, Lincoln. Each spring the activities of the two chapters are climaxed by a joint banquet. Other social activities consist of a reception for all members at Western Theological Seminary in the fall; and of a banquet for the junior and senior members of the college and the seminary faculty and students at the seminary dining room.

New members are chosen each spring from among those students who have performed outstanding work throughout the year on the Midland, college newspaper, or on the Warrior, college yearbook. Each year the Theta Gamma Epsilon sponsors the Annual Tri-State Press contest which is open to the high schools of Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. The purpose of this contest is not only to judge high school newspapers, but also to stimulate an active interest in high school journalism. During the contest the attention of the students and faculty of the various schools as well as of the newspaper readers of the three states is focused on Midland college. In addition to this high school contest, Theta Gamma Epsilon stimulates work on the Midland campus through prizes offered to those students making the most progress in beginning journalism. Besides these activities, the society has its social function. An annual banquet is held each spring at which new members are “tapped” and the var- ious prizes are awarded. At this banquet some prominent journalist gives an address. THE WARRIOR Pane 51 THE WARRIOR Top row: Roberts. Sweet. Jackson. M. Johnson. (I. Johnson, Boldt, Harper.

KAL ALPHAS President ......................................Martha Jackson Vice-President Elizabeth Livers Secretary.......................... Elizabeth Turner Treasurer............. .... Mary K. Johnson Sponsor ...................... Mrs. IV. F. Zimmerman The Kalophroncan society was organized September 26, 1888, for the pur- pose of promoting the art of public performance on the campus. In September, 1929, the society was divided into the Kalophroncan Alpha and Beta groups, the Kal Alphas being the sorority section of the organization. The Kal Alphas had a very active social program during the school year. They started the year with a scries of rush parties which included a bridge party, a hay-rack party, a theatre party and a dinner at the Green Room cafe. “Kal Jail furnished the theme and setting of the formal rush party held at the Hotel Pathfinder in conjunction with the Kal Betas. A mock-trial was held which proved somewhat embarrassing to many of those rushees who were brought before the court on the charge for which they were arrested. Informal initiation rites were “administered” at a Cabin party on the Island. The formal initiation was held at the Hotel Pathfinder, at which time seven new members were initiated into the society. A club room for the Kal Alphas was established in Beegle hall. The regular monthly meetings of the group were held in this room. The Kal Alphas won the second prize of one dollar at the annual all- college stunt night, sponsored by the Midland Players. They parodied the Cuckoo hour on the program which was a parody on a radio broadcast. Page 52 Top row: Baker. Dixon, Cady. Weitkamp, Harman. Pet row, Burkholder. Front row: Studlcv, Livers, Petersen.

Richard Cady The Kal Betas are the fraternity group of the Kalophronean society. This group had a very busy social year including two rush seasons. In the first semester, they had a series of rush parties consisting of cabin parties and a party at the home of Louis Petersen. The formal rush party was held with the Kal Alphas at the “Kal Jail” in the Hotel Pathfinder. At the formal initiation, also held at the Hotel Pathfinder, eleven new members were inducted into the club. With the opening of the new semester, the Kal Betas, contrary to precedent, had another rush season. Again the list of cabin parties and smokers followed. During this spring rush, seven new members were pledged. The final social event of the year was a party for the members and their “dates.” Kalophronean Betas and Alphas represent one of the first campus organ- izations. February 26 was their forty-seventh anniversary. The original pur- pose of the society was to promote literary activities. However, in 1929, the purpose was changed since these literary activities were sponsored by other groups. The Kalophronean society now is purely a social organization. The Kal Betas became the fraternity group, uniting with the Alphas for formal parties and initiations. W THE WARRIOR hue 53 THE WARRIOR « Top row: Sink. Polcnskc, Rohn, Garbers, Klatt, Coe.

Wynn for the purpose of developing literary talents and promoting social life on the campus. At present the organization functions chiefly as a social group. Although the men and the women are organized separately as Wynn Alphas and Wynn Betas, many of their social events are held together. The Wynn Alphas started the school year with a formal reception for all new girls at Beegle hall. This party was held in the evening. The informal rush party was in the form of a breakfast at the Edgewater cabin, and the formal rush party was held at the Pathfinder hotel. In the informal and formal initiations, the two sections joined forces. The informal initiation was held at Bide-a-wee cabin, and the formal was a banquet at the I. O. O. F. building. At the end of the first semester, the Alpha group had a waffle supper as a farewell to their president, Marjorie Cordts, who was graduated from school. Curious persons are still trying to find out how many waffles Miss Cordts took home to her one hundred pet dogs. One of her latest dogs in the collec- tion was named Wynnic—in honor of the Wynn Alphas. The Homecoming tea in honor of Wynn Alpha alumni was held at the home of Bernice Richter.

However, the vice-president ably took his place. The group honored the Wynn Beta alumni in a stag party held at Edge- water cabinet during the Homecoming week-end.

Karl Gigstad (liris’ Secretary. Elizabeth Turner Director Prof. Oscar Lyders To make every audience a singing audience is the ideal held by the Acap- pella choir. The choir firmly believes that no one is able to get as much fun and joy in listening to a concert as can be received by actual participation. Be- cause of this, each audience is given an opportunity to sing with the choir. The choir, composed of fifty voices, left April 20 on a nineteen-day tour giving twenty-one concerts in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Being offered an all expense trip to Oklahoma City, the choir ar- ranged a tour covering much the same territory as last year. With the election of Prof. Lyders to the head of the Kountze Memorial church choir of Omaha, a new spirit of cooperation sprang up between the two choirs. Last fall the Midland choir sang with the Kountze Memorial choir at the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the founding of that church. In return, the Kountze choir, together with the Congregational church choir of Fremont, united with the Acappella group to make the third annual Christmas Candle- light service a success. In preparation for the choir trip and to carry out its ideal, the Oratorio chorus was organized from members of the Acappella group last year. This year the chorus gave fourteen concerts to about three thousand persons. The Acappella choir won the first prize of two dollars and fifty cents for the best stunt at the annual all-college stunt night.

The group presented two major productions this year. The play given in the fall was “The Importance of Being Earnest,” an exaggerated satire by Oscar Wilde. The play is based on artificiality and was produced in an appropriate modernistic setting of black and silver. Because of the outstanding reception given the cast of “The Rock” last year, the play was again presented on the road. About 14,000 persons in four states have seen the play in the two years. The players again sponsored stunt night and the Seventh Annual Little Theater tournament for high schools. The commencement play will be “Ladies of the Jury,” a comedy by Fred Ballard. The play requires a cast of twenty-two, including ten women. After special tryouts, Ellen Servinc was chosen to play the part of Mrs. Crane, the leading character. She is a wealthy, refined, ultra-modern society woman with historical New Jersey ancestry. The plot is based on a murder trial in which she plays a jury role. Top row: Mrs. Hawkinson. Hum.

The vote was so favorable that plans were immediately begun for a staff and a sales campaign. Members of the Junior Class voted on a selected number of candidates for the offices of editor and business manager. Dale Flora was elected editor of the book, and Dorothy Harvey broke all previous records by becoming business manager. Miss Harvey was the first girl to ever hold the position at Midland. Mary Holbert was appointed associate editor by Mr. Flora. The three managers then started an extensive sales campaign in which a “tag day was originated.

Debating the college question, “Resolved: That the powers of the presi- dent of the United States should be substantially increased as a settled policy, Ralph Ingold and Beulah Meyer, affirmative, and Harold Gurske and William Studley, negative, met teams from Nebraska Central college in a dual contest February 17. Gray Bream, Vance Baird, Edward Raitt, William Studley and Christ Petrow clashed with representatives of Creighton University and Yankton and Morningside colleges in seven contests during a week-end trip March 1, 2 and 3. In the Annual Tournament of the Nebraska Intercollegiate Forensic As- sociation held at Hastings March 8, 9 and 10, Emery Hoenshell placed second in after-dinner speaking, Mary Anderson participated in the women’s extem- poraneous event and Ellen Servine in the peace oratorical contest.

Ervin Engel Vice-President Maurice Ellison Secretary-Treasurer William Beckenbauer Sponsors Prof. W. Emerson Recl(, Coach Karl Lawrence Having as its purpose the advancing of sports, the “M club has worked toward the fulfillment of this end. Only those who have earned their mono- gram are eligible for membership in this organization. The strenuous and unusual type of initiation is well known throughout Fremont, and helps bind the athletes together in a spirit of fellowship. The “M” club for the fourth year had charge of the election and corona- tion of the Queen of the Gridiron. This is one of the most popular events during the school year. Through sponsoring high school athletics by an invitation basketball tour- nament and a track meet, the “M” club has maintained its purpose of advanc- ing sports. Meetings were held bi-weekly in the History room. Initiations are held after every major sport in order to permit athletes to join the club soon after they have earned their letters. The final event of the year is the formal banquet given in the spring for active and alumni members of the group. This banquet is given for the pur- pose of kindling a closer feeling of good will between alumni and student members. THE WARRIOR Page (7 Top row: Coach Lawrence, Lyman, Hoff, Hunt, John Lyman, K.

The record book shows that the Chiefs made 69 first downs to their opponents’ 67, collected a total of 1,524 yards as compared to their rivals’ 1,348 and scored 54 points to their foes’ 43. Despite the loss of six eligible lettermen, who failed to return because of changes to professional schools or lack of finances, and the loss of six veterans through graduation, twelve lettermen reported for practice the week before school. Besides these twelve men who formed a promising nucleus for the squad, ten experienced men and eight freshmen reported for practice. Midland appeared to have plenty of good backfield material, but was short on beef in the line. Because of this defect, the coach stressed what he called the N. R. A. (New Running Attack) in practices, and this was ex- pected to bring a “new deal” for Midland in grid encounters. Coach Lawrence was assisted by Lauren Biffar who donned his tutorial trousers and industriously corrected the weak points in the Warrior line play. ’ £ • 68 FOLLOWING THE TEAM The season opener with the Dana Vikings on the local field proved the Warriors strong on aerial offense. Two scores were made directly by this route, and another indirectly. A long pass carried the ball to the eight yard line, from which Gardner was able to lug it over for the third touchdown. Dana failed to threaten seriously in any attempt to carry the ball across the goal line, but they made the Warriors battle for each of their nineteen points. Five completed passes netted Midland 142 yards. Gardner, Lyman and Elli- son alternated at signal calling. In the next combat, Peru’s heavy eleven was too much for Midland’s pony team, and even though the latter put up a valiant fight, the score was 15 to o. Midland endeavored to make its way into the touchdown land via the air, but most of its attempts went bumping along the ground. Lyman was the only Midlander able to break through the visitors’ ponderous forward wall for any encouraging gain. Babe Storey, who gained 169 yards for Peru, scored the two touchdowns. After a tedious journey to Tarkio, Missouri, the Midlanders dropped a hard fought contest, 6 to o. The outstanding feature of the game was the ability of the Warriors to fight with their backs against a wall. Five times the Tarks were within 25 yards of their objective, but with the danger line drawing near, the light Warrior line became immovable. The defensive work of McGillis, Burkholder and Engel was outstanding. Midland furnished the entertainment for Wesleyan’s annual Homecom- ing, and the Methodists were in a particularly disagreeable mood. They grabbed a couple of touchdowns in the second half after Warrior misplays, and kept the bacon at home to the tune of 12 to o. However Nelson, Ellison and Roether gave the Warriors the most to say offensively in the initial half by making seven first downs to three for the Methodists. THE WARRIOR Page 69 THE WARRIOR WITH THE WARRIORS Climaxing Dad’s day, the Warriors grabbed their first N. C. A. C. vic- tory by defeating the Doane Tigers 16 to o. Showing the best offense of the year, the Midlanders had things well under control throughout. Nelson con- tributed some smooth open field running, making one 50-yard return. The defensive play of Beckenbauer was a feature. Close to the heels of the first victory, the flashy Warrior team chalked up their second conference victory by defeating York, 19 to 6. During the Panther fray, the Midlanders showed their best power of the season, offensively by scoring 19 points while gaining 282 yards from scrimmage, and defensively by holding York for downs on the three-yard line. Nelson, Joel Lyman and Ellison were held in the spotlight for their offensive playing. York's only counter came after an alert Panther wingman grabbed the ball from a Warrior back and raced 60 yards to cross the goal line. Blotting out Midland's hopes of annexing the 1933 conference title, Hast- ings took undisputed first after defeating the Warriors 6 to o. Nevertheless they found Midland tough opposition. Midland’s passing attack, with Wilson and Nelson doing most of the receiving, brought gains totaling 128 yards. Engel and Beckenbauer featured Midland's play. The seniors: Wilson, Lyman, Engel, Davis, Jones and Gardner played outstanding ball in their last intercollegiate football. Ricky Wilson was named honorary captain of the 1933 football squad by members of the team. Qualities considered by the team were leadership, playing ability, training and loyalty. Ellison was Midland’s high scorer with four touchdowns, three points after touchdowns and a placekick for 30 points. Nelson with 235 yards was Midland’s leading ground gainer. Close behind was Ellison with 210 yards. Roether had 163 yards, Silas Lyman 119 yards, Gardner 113 yards, McGillis 97 yards, Joel Lyman 70 yards, Koudele 24 yards and Wilson, who carried the ball only once, six yards. Page 70 QUEEN OF THE GRIDIRON Estclla Losekc was crowned queen of the gridiron for 1933 in an impres- sive ceremony held before an audience of dads, alumni, students and faculty at the chapel hour November 3. Heralded by a flourish of trumpets played by Walter Olsen and Leslie Marks, the regal procession moved toward the platform in two lines headed by the Warriorettes and Tomahawks, pep societies, in colorful orange and black outfits. Following on one side were the four class presidents, John Anderson, Ellen Servine, Gray Bream and Emery Hoenshell, with Richard Wilson, Stu- dent Council head. In the other line was Miss Loseke followed by the other “M” club nominees, Mary Idalene Anderson, Marie Schuldt and Clara Hensel with Ervin Engel, “M” club president. Harrison Elmore and Francis Weihe, cheerleaders, completed the procession to the throne. After the coronation party was grouped on the green semi-circular plat- form, Engel explained the grid queen tradition. Nominees for the honor are chosen by members of the “M” club which annually sponsors the ceremony. Midland students vote on the nominees. The co-ed receiving the most votes is named queen anti the others become attendants. Wilson gave the proclamation and crowned the queen who was presented with a bouquet of orange chrysanthemums. As she was escorted to the throne, the group sang the Midland pep song. This is the fourth year of the celebration of the coronation. Lorraine Lovgren, Elfrida Petersen and Dorothy Kusel were chosen queens in 1930, ’31 and ’32 respectively.

By winning this contest, Midland dropped the curtain on its N. C. A. C. season with a record of seven victories in eight games and 273 points to their opponents’ 167. This championship also gave to Coach Karl Lawrence, Center Garnie Davis and Forward Rickey Wilson a perfect championship record for their four years at Midland. During that time the Warriors have won 36 of 40 conference contests. No less than six of this year’s N. C. A. C. records dropped into the Warriors’ medicine bag in their championship run. Davis was responsible for three of the records, his 32 field goals and 22 free throws for an 86-point total sweeping individual scoring records. Midland also took first place in team scoring with 273 points and in team field goal making with 112. She was the only league team holding its opponents to less than 200 points. Pane 72 SEASON SUMMARY OF “THE REPEATERS After a long trip into South Dakota, the Warriors dropped a close game to Sioux Falls college. The score changed often, hut the Warriors were un- able to overcome the lead that the Dakotans piled up in the first quarter. Only two veterans, Davis and Wilson, were in the line-up. However, the team showed spurts of that machine-like precision of later games. The second day of the tour also proved disastrous to the Warriors. The Wayne Teachers used a slow opening, fast breaking offense to keep the Mid- landers on the defensive most of the time. Sioux Falls then came to Fremont and spoiled a Lawrence record. No team had defeated Midland twice in the same season during his four years in the Warrior camp. Using the same style of game they had presented in the first encounter, the Dakotans dropped enough goals to win, although the fighting Warriors were close on their heels during the whole tilt. Then Wayne returned the Warriors’ visit, but three defeats were enough. All of that pent-up Midland fight was not to be denied. With Little Joe, Davis and Wilson in leading roles, the Warriors out-smarted and out-sped their larger and slower opponents to win handily. In their initial N. C. A. C. game, the Warriors looked like the champions they arc. Hastings played them about even for the first ten minutes, but with Kounovsky and Wilson hitting regularly, the Warriors soon drew to a comfortable lead. Midland was too fast, too smooth and too well coached for the Doane cagers. The Warriors were away to a six-point lead in the first two minutes of play, and were never headed. Davis racked up counters almost at will, making 14 points. A much heralded Diamond Oiler team received their worst score in the local camp. Midland tore into the Oilers and gained a 15 to 12 lead at the half, and only the efforts of Tall Tom Picked, All-American, saved the team from defeat with a last minute basket. The largest score of the season was piled against York on the Fremont maples. During the last half, subs coasted to victory. THE WARRIOR Pone 73 THE WARRIOR THE REPEATERS Displaying the classiest basketball of the season, the Warriors trimmed the rangy Peru team at Peru. The Bobcats were accurate in their opening long shots, but soon the smooth ball handling of the Warriors had them running in circles. Kounovsky, Wilson and Davis gave the fans the thrills. Hastings came to Fremont with revenge in their hearts. No Midlander will ever forget that Homecoming when their team was nosed out by a two- point margin. Hastings used a stalling attack, a type of play not suited to the fast Indians. The thriller of the year took place at Doane when the Warriors met the Tigers. Apparently hopelessly behind at the half, the fighting Warriors came back to give the fans thrills galore before edging out the Tigers with a basket in the last fifteen seconds of play. Kounovsky scored the winning goal, and Davis tallied eleven points. Nelson and Beckenbauer guarded perfectly. After the Doane thriller, Wesleyan’s competition proved to be almost repetition. With Shuman and Bailey, the Methodists were very much in the ball game throughout. The lead shifted fast and furious, but again Koun- ovsky dropped in a neat goal in the last minute of play. Home again, the Warriors met Peru with a mighty defense, and kept the command during the entire evening. Whenever the score was close, Davis or Kounovsky would drop in a fielder and preserve the lead. York, in a desperate effort, attempted a man-to-man game, but Davis, Wilson, Kounovsky and Gardner broke away fast and often to pile up a big majority. In what fans termed a near-perfect exhibition of basketball, the Warriors cinched the N. C. A. C. championship for the fourth consecutive year by winning from Wesleyan. Davis, Wilson and Gardner climaxed their college conference careers. Davis contributed eighteen points to his total to salt away league high scoring honors for the third straight year. In an exhibition game which helped H defray the expenses to the A. A. U tournament at Kansas City, the Mid- landers lost to the Nebraska All-Stars. The more experienced stars got an early lead, and played a sure game throughout. Drawing the Shrolls, a Washington, D. C. team, in the second round of the Na- tional A. A. U. tourney, they played a midnight game. The Shrolls were a rangy, fast passing crew, but Midland re- tained the lead until early in the third quarter when Shrolls’ tall center began hitting. With the loss of Wilson on fouls, Midland’s defense weakened, and the Shrolls soon gained a comfortable margin. ’ '£ • 74 Top row: Nelson, Lurulstrom, Bcckcnhauer, Wilson, Lyman. Hippie, McGillis.

TRACK IN 1933 In spite of the deadly toll that spring fever takes on athletes, twenty-one men responded to Coach Lawrence’s first call for track practice in the spring of 1933. Four of the group were lettermen. Biffar, Midland shotput veteran, placed third in the seventh annual Hast- ings Relays with a heave of 42 feet, 3 inches. Midland and Hastings were the only N. C. A. C. schools to place in the relays. Hippie’s fourth in his heat failed to qualify him in the 120 high hurdles. Lundstrom in the broad jump, Nelson in the polevault and Lyman in the discus showed to advantage in their respective events, but failed to qualify. With one of the outstanding class teams of recent years, the freshmen cut away the lion's share of the honors in the interclass meet by running up a score of 66 tallies to more than double their nearest rival’s score of 32. The seniors, defending champions, collected the 32 points, leaving the juniors to place third with 26 tallies, and the sophomores to bring up the rear with 25. Nelson and Hippie, individual high scorers, won 21 and 16 points respectively. Other high scorers were: Fuhrmeister 12, Biffar n, and Garnie Davis and Dale Flora with 10 each. Mainly by excellence in the field events, Midland's track team rung up 22 points to place third in the N. C. A. C. track and field carnival at Crete. Eleven tracksters carried Midland's colors during the meet. Biffar wound up his inter-collegiate competition with a shot put throw of 43 feet, 7 inches, to win the shot by more than two feet. He also placed fourth in the discus. Fuhrmeister and Nelson tied with three others for first in the pole vault at a height of twelve feet. Fuhrmeister also placed second in the high jump at a height of 5 feet, 8 inches. Third places were won by Lyman in the discus, Wilson in the javelin and Flora in the 88o-yard dash. Fourth places were cap- tured by Nelson and Hippie. THE WARRIOR Page 75 THE WARRIOR Top row: Becker, Johnson, Coc. M. Garbers, Culum. Wassum, Losckc, Lucas, I.. Snytlcr, U.

WOMEN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Women’s Athletic Association aims to further interest in women’s athletic activities and to develop women physically. A co-ed who has earned twenty-five points by participation in any of the athletic activities or by personal hygiene, is eligible for membership in the organization. One thousand points entitle her to receive and wear the offi- cial “M” of the organization, and to become a candidate to the Women's Honor “M” Club. Hiking, tennis and volleyball are the sports participated in during the fall season. In addition to the regular floorwork, basketball is an outstand- ing activity of the winter season; while aesthetic dancing, tennis, hiking and baseball are the spring activities. These activities provide for organic development, neuromuscular skill and wholesome attitudes through vigorous and systematic exercise.

Mason The Women’s Honor “M Club was organized last year by those girls who have earned their letter in W. A. A. activities. New members must be unanimously elected to the group. Qualifications are the winning of the official W. A. A. letter and an attitude of clean sportsmanship. In addition to furthering athletic interest among the women on the campus, this organization aims to promote an intercollegiate interest in women’s athletics by sponsoring a women's intercollegiate tennis tournament each year.

The chairmen, appointed by Patricia Rieper, were chosen because of their special ability in one field of activity. Each chairman directs and stimu- lates interest in her sport. The first social entertainment for W. A. A. candidates this year was a hare and hound chase. Leaving Fremont at 4 o’clock Thursday, October 13, a group of hares, led by Elaine Lucas, opened a cross country run toward the Platte river. Half an hour later they were pursued by a fleet of persistent hounds directed by Bertha Ferris. Both parties assembled at the elephant’s cave south of the Platte for a picnic lunch. Friday, December 15, 22 girls signified their intention to join W. A. A., climaxing the party held in the gymnasium. The party was held for the pur- pose of entertaining new girls and getting them better acquainted with the association. 1 earn competition of races, football, basketball, croquet and other games were forms of entertainment under the direction of Grace Rowe. Each year an inter-class basketball tournament stimulates interest in that sport. This year four teams were entered in the tournament: the Senior All- Stars, the Sophomore-Junior team, the Dorm Freshies and the Town Freshies. The All-Stars easily proved their championship by winning every game, with the Dorm Freshies as runner-ups.

Where to fight and to win is the rule. We arc loyal: we arc royal; We arc Warriors true. Anti we never give up till we're through: We can make it; we can take it: We’re the Orange and Black, And we’re never left holding the sack. On to victory: on to glory; On to championship With the hard-hitting Warrior boys. The Warriorettes have gained a reputation of being a peppy gang of Midland boosters. This new Midland song is just one of their ways of in- spiring loyalty and school spirit in the entire student group. At every athletic contest you’ll find them on the sidelines. It has become their custom to attend one out-of-town game in a body. This year the Hastings game was chosen for that purpose. All other out-of-town games find them well represented. This year ten girls were tapped by the Warriorettes. By promising to Ik loyal Midlanders and “good Indians,” they gained the right to wear the Orange and Black, and with it, the title “Warriorette.” (jiving skits at all pep rallies, the group inspired the whole student body that helped make possible that Midland Fighting Spirit, which has brought home the fourth championship trophy.

Loutz Gage Sponsor Prof. Nor wan Goodbrod Graduation and quitation struck mortal blows to the jolly old Tomahawk fraternity, leaving only four veteran members to launch the 1933-4 P an °f attack. With the usual pomp and ceremony, the following were tapped for mem- bership: Robert Lutzelman, Fred Davis, Frank Eagle, Emery Hoenshell. Harrison Elmore, William Baker, Vernon Lierk, Jack Martin, Joe Koorv, Elwyn Judd, and Gray Bream. The fact that each and every candidate for membership survived the initiation was considered a marvel by college scientists. One of the unwritten laws of the men’s Pep organization is to choose ten members if you want to add five to the roll. One-half of that number will probably Ik unable to re- cover their health following the ancient free and accepted rites of initiation. With the unanimous election of Darwin Elder as president, Loutz Gage, vice-president, and William “Shadow” Baker the fraternal mascot, the pro- gram of “More Pep” got under way. The annual party was held at Edgewater camp on the big island in order to lend “that Indian atmosphere” and at the same time permit the lads to get back to nature for one night. Following a football game (Shadow vs the rest of the group) the ruins of the camp were brushed aside and order restored. In order to stir up pep in the Warrior Teepee, a program of skits was developed. The following were selected as contributions to the field of art in general: “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Oh Youze Nasty Man!”, “Hold That Tiger”, “Can Cotner!”, “Pardon Us!” and “Why dontcha come up some time?” Stunt night branded the members as everything from stars to whatnots.
