Class of 1936 President ........................... Gray Bream Secretary-Treasurer ..........Mary Kathryn Johnson Class Representative ......... William Beckenbauer We are the Sophomores! We are the Sophomores! What do you think of us? 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 vi

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!
