Varsity letters were awarded to the athletic participants, a number of whom were three-sport standouts. Honors were also paid to students for their academic achievements throughout the course of the year An added attraction to the program was the KTNC Sports Award s recognition of the outstanding Senior girl athlete As featured speaker. Coach Charlie McBride spoke of his experiences in Wisconsin and Illinois while coaching and raising his family and then his decision to come to Nebraska.
