Emerson Rccl{, Prof. Herman Gimmestad Only five of the fifteen active members of last year's group reported at the first meeting of Blue Key, national honorary fraternity. Three members were graduated from Midland, five transferred to professional schools and two were unable to return. The fraternity is observing its seventh anniversary at Midland this spring. 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

Zimmerman, Mrs. Sara Hawkinson The Sigma Lambda Chi, honorary society, two years ago was granted a charter in Cardinal Key, national honor sorority. 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

Mary I. Anderson Secretary. Mary K. Johnson Treasurer Dora Larsen Sponsors Miss Alma Karstad, Mrs. IV. F. Zimmerman Under the excellent leadership of Beulah Meyer, the Young Women’s Christian Association filled an important gap in the religious life on the cam- pus. To her and to the cabinet must go the credit for making this year one of success for the Y. W. C. A. With the cooperation of the Y. M. and the Choir, Christmas carols were sung at sunrise on the last day of school at the homes of the professors. The State Y. W. and Y. M. conference was held at Midland this year with about one hundred and fifty delegates from Nebraska colleges in attendance. 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. I'age .|S
