University of Nebraska Kearney - Blue and Gold Yearbook (Kearney, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 186 of the 1910 volume:

cpR ESS of THE HUB K.tarney, Nebraska Printer s anti Book Binders n Dedication To the faculty who with noblest efforts, have guided our foot- steps; to the students who follow after us; to those who have gone on before us, we respectfully dedicate this book the second volume of the Blue and Gold as a token of our appreciation. Foreword This volume of the Blue and Gold exhibits a two-fold mission —the harboring of scenes, farces and events replete with reminis- cences of days well improved, and the disseminating of information about the school we have learned to love. Associations and friendships of college days, too precious to be thoughtless cast aside, and it is the desire of the Editorial Staff that, as the years roll by and this class is no longer an organized union; when life is freighted with its burdens of work and worry, this vol- ume teeming with pleasant memories, shall, in times of stress and struggle, thrill ambition, quicken courage and oiler increased inspir- ation. I'he Kearney State Normal is just completing the fifth year of its existence, but in this brief space of time it has attained an enviable position. Its diploma may be a pride to any man or woman since it signifies the completion of a course of study that prepares one for teaching in the high schools of our land; and the graduates have shown by their success the value of this Normal training. Ever mindful that our school will be judged by the work of its students, we commit these pages to the press with the hope that the N. S. N. will gather additional luster from the achievement of its graduates who subscribe themselves members of the class of 1910. Editor-In-Chief. •V. ♦ - COLOR SONG.

Governor Ashton C. Shallcnbcrger is held in high esteem by the faculty and students of the Normal, Governor Shallen- berger, on his first visit to the school in 1908, captured their good will when he expressed himself in favor of extending the usefulness and capacity of the school, and gave assurance of his hearty support to the institution. Governor Shallenberger delivered the address at the fourth annual commencement in May, 1909. The north wing of the school, which is now under construction, will afford a lasting monument to the Governor and his interest in education. The new addition is already designated the Shallenberger Building. 1 President Thomas Shortly after one o’clock Tuesday afternoon, May 23, 1905, Superintendent A. O, Thomas received a telegram from Secretary McBrien, of the State Board of Education, informing him that he had been elected principal of the Kearney Normal School. This was the desired and anticipated report of all those who were interested in the future welfare of the new institution and who knew Mr. Thomas. Because President Thomas had already demonstrated his ability to administer the executive affairs of such an institution, as superintendent of city schools, and now the strength and stability and future greatness of this new institution were well insured. President A. O. Thomas was horn in 1853 on a farm in Mercer county, Illinois, removing with his parents to a prairie farm in Western Iowa when he was ten years of age. As a boy bis opportunity and means to secure an education were very limited. With a hard struggle he made his way through the public schools. Later he was enabled to attend Amity College, at College Springs, Iowa. Later he attended the Western Normal, which was established at Shenandoah, Iowa. Here he completed both the commercial and scientific courses. He afterwards returned to Amity, finish- ing the course in philosophy there. Here he took a post graduate course of three years, the major subject in the course being sociology and the two minor subjects being psychology and history of education. He took examination for the degree of doctor of philosophy under Dr Littlejohn of Edinburg, Scotland. Graduating in 1891 President Thomas came in the fall of that year to Cambridge, Nebraska. For two years he was principal of the schools at Cambridge, three years superintendent of the city schools at St. Paul, and five years superintendent of the city schools of Minden. He was elected superintendent of the city schools of Kearney in 1901 and was holding that position at the time of his election to the presidency of the Normal, President Thomas’ success as an educator and executive lies not in the education he has acquired, nor of the achievements of head and hand alone, but in the love to serve those about him. It is the heart that lias made the man. He is never too busy to give his services to the sick and needy; for the homesick and discouraged student he never lacks words of cheer and comfort; words that will inspire new life and pro- duce renewed efforts are constantly on his lips for the disheartened and the downcast. His confidence in the goodness of humanity is unbounded. Patience is his chief virtue, and faith in all students is daily manifested. He is glad to join in with those who rejoice and ever ready and willing to sympathize with those who are less fortunate In his train there is a host of followers who can always depend on him for support and advice and never be disappointed, even in the least. Thus it is that he holds the unbroken confidence of every student in school. In this way he has builded up this new institution, in five years, so that it has attained an enviable position. Today the progress and the strength of the Normal school is firmly established through the ceaseless efforts and master workmanship of President A. O. Thomas.

Class Blower'. White Rose. Class Motto: While we live, let us live.” Should you ask me whence this history Whence these tales so big and famous With the odor of the class-room, With its words so long and startling, With its boast of deeds of valor. And of victories most mighty, I should answer, I should tell you, From the Senior and the Junior, From the young and verdent, “Sophy,” Lately to our camp admitted, From the land of wind storms mighty. And of noises weird and hideous, I repeat them as I got them From the pens of the false historians, The great liars—Magnifiers. Listen to these words of wisdom. Listen to the truths they tell you, For they tell you of the Seniors’, The Great Spirits of the Normal. Hail them as your friends and brothers, (And receive them single minded) And the heart's right hand of friendship Give them when they come to see, Give them counsel, give them money, Or what else they call upon you. For in them behold the Nation! All the secrets of the future. Far and wide among the Nations, Spread the name and fame of Seniors, How for wisdom they are noted. How they worked and bluffed the teachers, How they sat and played together Played till midnight, played till morning, Some played until the judgment, Oh the terrible, horrible judgment, How near distraction it did drive, And worse yet it did drive us to study. How some pined and nearly faded. Until, with thesis over and our Caps and gowns o'er shaded. With our sheep skins, Home they hied them. Or to some region remoter. Thus you have the Here and Hereafter Of the Seniors brave and fearful of exams and of Thesis. Thus we pause in our rounds of work and pleasure, to think, to ponder, to wonder and to meditate on this wonderful and awe inspiring class of 1910. As they were in the beginning they are not now; neither in number nor know- ledge, nor will they ever be, for they were once children, now they arc Seniors, old and dignified, with the thoughts and hopes of seniors. Listen, alma mater, while this class with all its youthful wisdom, tells of its glorious beginnings and not inglorious deeds. Two of our present number honored this institution by sorting in at its opening. They struggled up ladders not of fame, but of wood, up and up to the top, where as the old proverbial saying is, “There was room.” The Junior year opened up to us vistas of knowledge, which we in our simplicity of youth believed. And as we were highly susceptible, thus when taught of Caesar, the great man awavs at war, we immediately began a perpetual warfare with what- soever displeased our tastes. Sharp tongues were our swords, ignorance our shield, while “ponies,” “saddles” and “spurs” were obtained from our loving instructors. Then when we studied about the ideal figures of geometry, we learned to soar away in our boundless imagination up into “thin air” or to dig down to “bed rock” to find a foundation for our learned and weighty discourses, namely, “Thesis.” Our class is composed of scholars, orators, writers, athletes, preachers, may be married men ; women of note and beauty, far famed for their skill in the use of paint. And yet with all the wisdom and honor which we have gained, no head is a vacuum and no heart is vain. Here’s to the class of 1910. May her glories never grow less and may she ever press on to the glorious end, and hear the welcome and deserved plaudit, “Well Done.” E. CLARK. SENIORS SONGS. TO. COCACHELUNK.

Our Normal School so grand. And in thy wealth and glories great Stretch forth thy mighty hand: For she with her own magic might And with the help of thee, Will brighten all the paths of right. And bid all darkness flee. At Kearney where our God has blessed With sceneries all around, Right in the middle of the best Our normal school is found. Towards the rising of the sun Extends the city grand, And as the golden beams come down. Its towers with gold are spread To the west there flows that gurgling stream, That from the lake is fed, The falls so mighty and serene. The power-house tall and red. The north is lined with hills of trees. And farms of corn and wheat; From the south there comes the scented breeze Of the Platte alfalfa sweet. Then let our people all combine, And give our praise to Him, And as the milky way doth shine, Send forth the light to men. ’Tis true our state ranks high and best In education’s fame, But yet there’s work to manifest. And fuel to feed the flame. Then hail, 1 say, and give a chance To Kearney Normal grand, And she’ll blot out the ignorance. And cause the right to stand. —Douglas Francis Dickerson.

Wkat Life at Green Terrace Hall Means to a Girl The Hall, that unknown, untried, mysterious, awe inspiring place—that is what those who stand outside, young men especially, think, hut after entrance has once been gained these things are thought of no more and each one becomes a known per- sonality in a world new to him. The two girls rooming together at the Hall usually address each other as “hubby” or “wifey.” As the recitation period approaches or the time when they must part, a gay voice floats down the stairs and through the halls, “Good-bye VVifey, I’ll be back in an hour or so. Let’s make fudge or cocoa then.” Eating is an all important entertainment. There are at least six rooms where the grand spreads are held. These places are cozy rooms some with open fireplaces, which have a very homey air when combined with the girls who are in it. There are regular eating clubs which meet weekly and sometimes twice or three time a week besides the impromptu feedings which are held after the girls have been home. The favorite fudge-making hour is anywhere between nine and twelve o'clock in the evening (and one little junior girl thinks the pleasantest time is about three o’clock in the morning.) At these fudge parties everyone enjoys herself to the utmost. Stories are told: all trying to talk at once. Someone stirs the fudge while all sing some of “those dear old Southern songs.” When the fudge is being passed two pieces are taken so it will not have to be passed so soon but for some unknown reason the plate is passed as often when two pieces are taken as though it were only one. When purchased supplies have given out, the rooms or kitchen must he “visited” or “raided.” This is dangerous because being out of the room after study hour is forbidden. i remember well a certain expedition after butter. The girl who had gone to the kitchen on the quest was so intent on her task that she failed to hear approaching footsteps and suddenly found herself face to face with the preceptress. She did not have the butter but her face showed her guilt. But she was not one to desert when on the very bunk of achievement so she said: “O, I just have to have some butter or my candy will be spoiled.” All the consolation she got was that it ought to be spoiled and so went meekly upstairs. Nevertheless she obtained the butter and the candy was fine. This life is not all play. Many hours are given to study, perhaps it is fair to say about two-thirds or one-half of waking hours are spent in study, besides a great deal of Domestic Science is learned. Some of the most pleasing, as well as most surprising features arc the evening rehearsals of the ladies orchestra consisting of the cornet, guitars, piccalo, piano and hones. These rehearsals are so interesting the music is so sweet and holds our atten- tion so long that lessons are forgotten until next day when we or our lesson suffer. Another important feature at the hall is the Culture Club, under the direction of Mrs. Brindley, preceptress. This organization meets once a week and very interesting programs are given. All the girls of the hall are members of the club and we are interested participants in it. One important feature of this club is answering to roll call with quotations, thus many thoughts are exchanged. The yearly meetings of this club are closed by a picnic which is thoroughly en- joyed by all. We must not forget the “Annual Prom,” usually held at Hallowe’en. At this time things are all weird and ghastly, mysterious sights and sounds are heard and seen everywhere. Dainty refreshments are served and a general good time is partici- pated in by all. I have not by any means tried to tell you all the events worthy of mention which happen at the Hall but have enumerated just enough to show that life at the Hall is profitably and indispensable to a girl. —M. L. A. umor In April 1908, the class of ’ll met to organize a Freshman class. Miss Hosic was appointed as class advisor. With Mr. Dryden as president, we started on our brilliant career in the Normal and proved that a Freshman is not always “green.” As Sophomores we were the envied class of the school for we claimed most of the star baseball players. In the spring the Sophomores went to Glemvood Park for a picnic. Naturally the entertainment turned to baseball and Miss Hosic in attempting to learn the favorite sport of her brilliant class, received a black eye, much to her own sorrow. Our depart- ure and return was made known to the inhabitants of Kearney and vicinity by our songs and yells which resounded from Glen wood Park to the Platte river. The Sophomore year closed with a grand social event. The class was royally entertained by Miss Hosic at Hope Lodge. We started out in 1910, our Junior year, with a membership of seventy. The hrst event of the year was a Hard Lime Party. While enjoying ourselves to the utmost, melodious strains of music came floating thru the windows, supposedly from the Seniors. Always a very observant and obliging class, we were not long in procuring the particulars of the Senior Stunt and posting a suitable poster for the same, much to the delight (?) of the Seniors. The Seniors attempted to follow in our footsteps and although very keen, were very much surprised on St. Valentine’s Day, when we brought our Stunt off in a most triumphant manner. The- Crimson and White floated top mast that day. Our successful Junior year was brought to a close with a banquet to the Seniors; who, with their wise countenances and solemn mein make us feel more deeply the responsibility which lies before us. For we are Jo 11 y J uniors, And our hearts are light. Put care to flight, Hail to the Crimson and the White, And hail the Pdue and Gold of Alma Mater dear Rah, rah, rah, Hear the Jolly Juniors cheer. Crimson and White, Crimson and White, They’re the colors that are alt right, Give us room and watch us then, Jolly Juniors of N. S. N. —M. W. and R. H. JOLLY JUNIORS.

Hear the Jolly Juniors cheer; For we are Jolly Juniors and our hearts are light, put care to flight Hail, etc. I Sopii oxnores We, the Honorable Sophomores of this year were the meek Freshmen of 1908- ’09. At that time our advisor. Prof. Snodgrass, failed to organize a class because no one was willing to be termed a “Freshie,” But this year we organized and took our place among the classes of the school. Without doubt we are one of the best. The Seniors may bestow upon us their conde- scending smiles. The Juniors may flount their pennants and make the chapel resound with their melodious voices. The 'l’rainers may yell in their trible key, and point with pride at their single masculine mascot. Put the Sophomores, though small in number are nevertheless indispensable because of their unusual ability in keeping up the life of the school. Several of our number are active members of the Aspasian Debating Society, the Basket Pall Team, the Foot Pall Team and various other societies of the school We met early in the term to organize and with our sponsor smiling benignly upon us we were filled with enthusiasm and elected our officers. We consider ourselves exceedingly fortunate in securing as our president, Lament Stephens who has marked ability in solving difficult problems especially in physics, (luv Samson who is lively in Athletic sports was chosen vice president, J'-thelyn Hathaway, an ideal “Martha W ashington” is our secretary. Ellen Murphy whom we consider capable of handling immense sums was chosen treasurer. With these competent officers chosen from such a remarkable class we expect to retain the thrilling reputation we have already gained. Trainers The training class lias perhaps one of the most important missions of any class in the Normal school. In order to enter this course it is necessary for a student to have completed the eleventh grade of the high school and in one year's work prepare for such positions as will enable them to return and complete the higher course at some future time. The trainer’s upon completing the course receive elementary state certificates equal in every way to a first grade county certificate. The course embraces a review of the common branches and observation work in the model schools together with conferences and methods with the critic and model teachers. It also include; work in Physical Culture, Drawing and Vocal Music. Miss litta Brown is superin tendent of the training department and Mrs. Sarah Brindley is class adviser. I he class of 1910 has a membership of forty-ciglit and will graduate twenty of these. Miss Ella Woodbury is president of the class; Miss Nettie Rummery vice president and Miss Zummia Smith secretary and treasurer. I he class is not without its social functions and class spirit. Mrs. Brindley has entertained the class a number of times and these social functions were enjoyed by all. A class pin is worn and loyalty exists among the members to a marked degree. CLASS YELLS.

The chronicler who attempted to reduce to writing the history of the class of 1913, finds himself in the predicament of a certain company of Isrealites upon whom developed the equally difficult task of making bricks without straw. Theie is—we admit it candidly—no particular reason why we should break into print, for we have, in the main, contented ourselves with watching the game from the sidelines. We would not be understood, however, as wishing to apologize, in any manner, for our short and simple annals. It is by design, and not by accident, that our career • has so far been free from the sensational and the spectacular. We have kept ourselves behind the rscenes, not because of timidity or lack of confidence in our own powers, but because we have no disposition to disport ourselves in the limelight. It is perhaps inevitable that Seniors and Juniors, and even Sophomores, should occasionally misconstrue our attitude. They have attributed to timidity or to apathy that which was but a consistent performance of our chosen role of wise and masterly inactivity. Their impressions are entirely erroneous. It is not awe of these favored beings who occupy the seats of the mighty, hut democratic indifference to the insignia of rank, which has led us to slide unobstrusively into the rearmost seats at chapel. We have gazed upon the dizzy evolutions of the upper classmen without comment. But our silence is not the result of dazed admiration and dumb wonder as they fondly imagine. It is rather the normal mode of expression of our philosophical and well-poised natures. but it is not our intention to maintain indefinitely a policy of detachment and aloofness. We have, we hope, demonstrated our ability to deal in a quiet but effec- tive way, with matters concerning ourselves. In the future we shall devote our sur plus time and energy to the supervision of things in general. We shall have our part •- in the events of the rostrum, the gridiron and the diamond. Even now there are doings and rumors of doings. We leave it for the historian of the future to record the achievements of the charter members of 1913. reshies Department of Commerce IN MEMORIUM Professor Clarence A. Murch. Principal of the Department of Commerce, closed his earthly labors on Sunday morning, Janu- ary' 16, 1910. Professor Murch was born in 1855 at Appleton, Wisconsin. He received his education from the public schools and from Law- rence University. He came to Nebraska in 1889 and became an active worker in educational and Christian fields. Pur a time he was Head Master of the Platte Valiev Institute. In his long years of service Professor Murch gathered about him a group of loyal friends, many of whom are young men and young women who have come under his instruction. He was a man of extremely fine fibre, a courtly gentleman. He was large-hearted and generous and had unabounded faith in young people. His sym- pathy and love for boys especially was unlimited. Poetry by Professor Murcb INTO THE DEEP. Into the deep ! into the deep ! Away from the shallows along the shore; Far out, good ship, where the billows sweep, Afar from the reefs where the breakers roar. The rudder rests in a hand that is true, Our sails are set and the wind is free; Then up and away where the waves are blue. And into the deep, my soul, with me! Into the deep! into the deep! Too long we've tarried and toiled in vain ; I’he watches of night in vain we keep— Then launch away for the surging main. Away, and away, past the harbor bar, With him who stilleth the wind and sea: How bur cares take wing as we speed afar! Then into the deep, my soul, with me! Into the deep! into the deep! Where the soul grows strong and God is near; Where riches untold the bright waves keep. Our pilot and Friend our ship shall steer. For the sea is His and its treasures rare. And winds elysian blow fair and free; Then up and away; my ship shall bear ( ut into the deep, my soul and me! WHEN THEIR WHISKERS GROW. Hoys’ll be boys till the crack o’ doom ; Then stan' aside, graybeard, an' gin the boys room, You wuz a boy onct, an' you orter know Boys’ll be boys till their whiskers grow. Mv! won’t things hum when them young fellers ’ 1 th arms like sledges an’ lungs like belters Air jest a leetle older? Nothin' very slow ’Bout them air kids when their whiskers grow! 1 likes boys myself, an’ haint no sorter use Fer ary old curmudgeon what gins th' boys th’ deuce Jes cause they ain’t quite so tarnation slow! e’ll hev to gin ’em room when their whiskers grow Talk erbout the worl’ now bein’ on the jump ; Why, when them kids is grow’d she’ll jes’ fairly hump! I on’t talk to me; tell ye pard. I know What them kids’ll do when their whiskers grow. History of Commercial Department Class Colors: Silver and Gold. Class Flower: Daisy. Class Motto: Not Quantity, but Quality: The Commercial department of the Normal presents one of the most complete business courses in the middle west. In the rearrangement of the courses of the school after the entrance requirements were raised, this course was strengthened and put upon a parallel with the regular Normal course introducing many subjects net belonging to a strictly commercial course, but were placed there to lit and prepare the students for teaching in commercial departments of our high schools and colleges as well as to enable them to take up office work. The students of the three year course of tliis department receive a departmental diploma from the school at its completion, and after another year's work receive the regular diploma of graduation from the Normal. The class completing the three year’s course this year consists of ten young men and women. Some of those who should he with us now, left at the close of the second year to accept positions. Among these are Clarence Shirey who accepted a position at Glen wood, Iowa, last fall; Miss Elite Olson who is now in Omaha, and Lillian Erickson, stenographer. Stickel Lumber Company, Kearney, Nebraska. As had been the custom of our late lamented Advisor, Prof. C. A. Murch, since the opening of the school to occasionally gather the class at Ins home for an evening of enjoyment and pleasure, the present class was invited one evening in December, 1909, where they were entertained by Prof, and Mrs. Murch in their usual pleasant and affable manner. The rendevous of the evening was the “den” where the professor read some of his favorite poems and related tales of his last hunting trip to the moun tains of Colorado; among others his fish story and how he received a ducking in a mountain stream, 'litat evening will ever he remembered by the class of 1910.

The Young Woman’s Christian association was organized in the State Normal in October, 1905, shortly after the Normal was opened, and it has steadily grown in membership and influence. As an organization its purpose is to help the young women of our school to get a large vision of true life, to set high ideals, and then strive to gain them. To develop the highest type of Christian womanhood, and through the power of the One in whose name we are organized, to vitalize every phase of the work so that no one can be under the influence of the association who is not made intellectually stronger, sweeter in personality, socially more attractive, and spiritually radiant and happy. We would bring together all the young women on a common basis and a closer union of fellowship and service, so that as they leave our halls and go into life else- where they are trained for Christian work, and fitted to use the opportunities and accept the responsibilities that come to them—to live beautiful, useful lives. The association now has one hundred and fifty girls of our school as its members. It also has twenty-five affiliated members who are young women who have left our school and wish to keep their membership and help us financially, and ladies of the town who are also interested in this work and help us in various ways. This year, for the first time, we have been able to employ a part-time general secretary, and with her assistance the association work has progressed remarkably well. Miss Morrison is also a student, and is in a position to work sympathetically with the girls for their best interests. There are seven departments in the association which are managed by a member of the cabinet, who is the chairman, and a committee. Every girl who joins the Y. W. C. A. is asked to belong to one of these committees, and there she has an oppor- tunity to take some part in Christian service. Every committee deserves special mention for our V. W. C. A. is blessed with strong and willing workers. Social events during the year testify to the excellent work of the social committee as well as the interested assistance of all other committees. There was a joint reception given by the Young Men’s and Young Women’s Christian Associations to the new students in the fall, the “Not-a-ShowM which was also a joint affair, the Hallowe’en party for the girls, the May Supper, and other events such as picnics and parties. When school l egan in the fall. Mission and Bible Study classes were organized for the girls, and led by students and teachers. The interest in Missions is shown by the forty-five dollar pledge which the girls have made for our Student Secretary, of China, Miss Paddock, who visited us at our District Conference April 23. In a financial way we are on a firm basis. Our budget for the c oming year amounts to $381.50. Through the Intercollegiate committee wc keep in touch with State, National and World work. rude onal ia.ir- Elsie •mal own 1 to To One one ger, r. 3SCT ilse- and ers. our tlie ?ral ibly illy fber Y. to r- •ith ttee tion lew 'en jzed iris our )ur We were represented by five delegates at the Western Students’ Conference at Cascade, Colorado, last summer, and by three delegates at the International Student Volunteer Convention which was held at Rochester, New York in December.

G. 4 nal The Young M en s Christian Association. ()ur society is now well organized and permanent. Membership ranges from thirty to fifty men. Much interest is secured by the reports and enthusiasm of the delegates to the Rocky Mountain Student Conference. We have sent four delegates each of the last two years. In 1908 they were Claud Smith, Clyde Cook, Edward Shue and Herbert Livingston; in 1909 Norval Pearce, Joe Yensen, Roy Stryker and Joe Ross. The society maintains a loan fund for three delegates the money to be paid them when the student begins to earn money. They are chosen from the under graduates who plan to return the following year. Smith being unable to return in 1909-10, Herbert Markward was chosen president. Much interest was shown in the society. After football season the time was changed to 4:30 on Wednesday and con- tinued so throughout the year. At the annual election Louis Hannisch was chosen president, Norval Pearce vice president, Edward Shue, secretary and Ray Shirey treasurer. Hannisch, thinking he could not return resigned and Pearce was chosen president with Thomas Seiver vice president The budget adopted for 1908-9 was for Socials, $25; Printing $5; Incidentals, $15; State Committee, $20; International Committee, $10; Presidents' Conference, $5; Cascade Lund, $80; making a total of $160. These funds were to be raised by Dues, $30; Entertainments, $50; Subscrip- tions, $70; Balance in Treasury, $10; making a total of $160. The budget for 1909-10 was about the same as for 1908-9. John Engleman was sent to the Student Volunteer Convention at Rochester, N. ., and brought back a splendid report. From four to twelve men attend the State convention and a number of others the Presidents’ Conference. The Y. M. C. A. men have figured very prominently in Athletics, this year’s football team containing ten, the basket ball team eight and baseball team six. At the annual election February, 1910, the officers chosen were: President, Claud Smith; Vice President, Louis Hannisch; Secretary, Joe Yensen and Treasurer, Ernest Carlin. Committee of Religious Meetings, chairman, Walter Fisher. A meeting was held early at which the leaders were chosen for the year. Most of the meetings have been led by the boys but we have also secured several ministers of the city; President Thomas and Dr. Clark, of the Normal, Dr, Kinderem from the State University, Chancellor Davidson, of Wesleyan University, and Student State Secretary Kendall, all of whom gave splendid talks. Social Committee, R. E. Dugdale, Chairman. Part of our socials are joint affairs with the . W. C. A. This is the case with the annual reception for all Normal Students cn the first Friday evening of the school and the “Not-a-Show. The “Not- a-Show” is given near the middle of the school year for the purpose of raising funds. Some stunts put on are the Clown vs. Coon, Basketball Game, Hall of Mystery, Penny Arcade, Mute Band, Doll Show, Awkward Squad. Minstrel Show and Faculty Band which made a great hit. The two societies also had a cabinet picnic and various com- mittee picnics. 'Fhe boys gave several mens’ socials during the year, finishing up with an appeal for membership, which are enjoyed by all men of the school. Committee of New Students and Membership, Chairman, Roy Strvker. This committee aided by other members met trains, assisted in location of new students and enrolled them at the Normal on cards which showed their previous environment, their characteristics and church preference. These were of much use in the personal canvass for membership later. The whole society acted as assistants to the committee and the result was they secured many and valuable recruits to the society. Some two months later another vigorous canvass swelled the membership to forty-five. R.

Its purpose is to give opportunity for practice in debate and discussion of public questions. Although the technique of debate is not lost sight of, large stress is laid on ease and effectiveness of delivery. Then, too, the society is essentially a student organization, it devises its own rules without restraint from outside forces. This fact and the presence of an audience not too critical, whose motives are for the benefit of each speaker, who might feel discouraged or embarrassed under less favorable circumstances. The society meets every Saturday evening for debate upon some topic of current interest. After the debate proper, the program is composed of subjects for extemporaneous talks and literary numbers. This varies the program and develops different phases of ability among the members of the society. The society has an enviable record since its organization four years ago. It can boast of being the first society of any kind established at the Normal. In the third year of its history the members decided to show their loyalty to their society so they procured a small silver pin bearing the word “Emanon.” From the good practice received in the Emanon Debating Society several debators were developed who took part in the intercollegiate debates. This series of debates began just after the society organization in 1905, when the Normal met the Kearney High school in debate. Other debates followed with Hastings Business College, and Peru Normal until the debating team ended the 1910 record by returning vic- torious from York college. The Emanon Debating Society lias opened the way and forms a training school, for intercollegiate debators. The Emanons and Aspasians engage in the discussion of current questions at what are called joint meetings. 'Phis gives the Emanons a change and a different kind of reasoning to contend with. The membership has increased until now the society is composed of thirty-five earnest and conscientious members who are striving to benefit themselves. The Emanons owe their success largely to the careful and untiring supervision of their critic. He lias led the society through periods of discouragement and every Emanon will ever hold the best regards and wishes for their critic. Prof. C. N. Anderson. BOYS’ DEBATING SQUAD. Prof. Porter� Director. John Ercwlojnan Ralph Dugdale Waller Otto Sinkle Fisher VT, School Life The waves rolled high on the ocean, And on the foamy crest liore a mighty ship called “Future,” Of Nature’s youth the best,. And now it nears the shore line, And proudly its hopeful crew Step out, bearing its banner. Good old colors, gold and blue. Out on the boundless prairie this stately building rears its noble pillars. In and about this grand edifice are memories sacred and revered. The words “School Life” are indeed pungent with memories. Out from the various points of the compass gathered the band of lads and lassies, grave and gay, learned and to be learned to embark on the ship of State, which was to bear them to the harbor of learning, namely K. S. N. As we look back over the many long and happy hours, our minds flit away to some of the enjoyable events which are indelibly impressed upon our minds. 'Hie first day! Ah, to many of us who were filled with that indiscribable feeling, it brings a smile to our faces. How with quaking knees and faltering voice we inquired of every dignified looking personage for Or. Thomas, or on encountering that noble gentleman himself, we were utterly at a loss for words to express our wants. But his kind and genial smile, and fatherly handshake brought us back, and he or some one else would kindly bear with us while we endeavored to impress upon him the fact that we were elegible members of some class. Thus after a process of registration we were sent out to find ourselves in a crowd of no less brave and important personages than ourselves. Strange to say, in a few days we were all attending classes in regular and precise order. The majority of this band were entitled to the honored name and rank of Juniors. )h, how tlie mere mention of that hallowed name brings memories dear to us. Among this band were numbered some severity who handed together for better or for worse until Senior year should part them. ( ?) At first the question not to loiter in the hall, etc., was religiously observed. But time healed up the old wounds of parting from former friends and new friends were made. Thus time and tide wait for no man. ( ?) The friendly rivalry between classes was a source of never ending jokes. For instance, when the Seniors thought the Juniors had been s-t-u-n-g and very solicitiously gave the class adviser a box of soda to sooth the supposed sting. All things are forgotten in time. Thus briny tears were shed when these Seniors came in with suit cases packed and each armed with a tin cup to battle with the world. The Juniors that were are the Seniors now. This « lass has always made things lively. They have been the little leaven that leaveneth the whole school. Now as the time draws near for their departure the question naturally arises. What will become of this grand institution? Our hope, our united desire is, that she will survive the loss and build up each class more and more as the years go by. E. A. C. and Z. A. C.

In this year of 1910 the Aspasian Satiety is completing its four years of happy, successful life. The society was organized in November of 1906 with Mrs. Anna Peterson as president and Miss Hamer critic. At the close of the first semester, Miss (iardner succeeded Miss Hamer and still holds this position. The success of this society is directly due to Miss (Iardner and we have also enjoyed many good times at her home. The year 1908 opened with Fancheon Phillips as president. The society elects new officers each semester and Minnie Blanchard was chosen for president the second semester of 1908. What she did as president has been the goal of succeeding ones holding this office. In this society accomplishing its aim—that of giving to the girls of the K. S. N. practice in debating, reading and parlimentary law. ( ?.) You would think so if you had heard the Peru debate of 1909. It is a well known fact that the Fmanons, since a certain memorable time, positively refuse to enter into a joint debate with the Aspasiam, The society thoroughly believes that all work and no play makes Jill a dull girl and so now every third meeting is set aside for a social time, a feature instituted by Emma Clark, our president of 1910. As now, so in previous years this second quality was by no means lacking. The annual juvenile party at which the Fmanons longingly look around the corners, and the exciting initiation parties prove this, A banquet is given each year to the Fmanons and last year we also had the pleasure of having the girls of the Peru debating squad as our guests. Each year many other good times come our way and not the least of them is the banquet when the EmanonS so royally play the host. We feel that our society is at its best this year and the reminiscence of the year 1910 will always be a source of delight to us. 'Phis is due to the splendid work of our presidents, Misses Ruth Miles, and Emma Clark and the co-operation of the Aspasian girls. T. M. GIRLS' DEBATING SQUAD, Gertrude Gardner, Critic.

The purposes of the club are: To become more acquainted with the German life and literature; to lie able to converse fluently in German; and to create an en- thusiastic spirit among the German students. Interesting and instructive programs are rendered once a month. These pro- grams consist of plays, stories, recitations, talks by students who have visited Germany, question box and music. Kach year the club has given an open program consisting of the plays Per Rote Knopf,” “Per W irrwarr,” respectively and folk scenes. The “Kaffee Klatsche” are most enjoyable features of “Per Deutsche Verein.” Nothing helps more in producing a German atmosphere than «lie “KalTee Klatsche” with their German songs, games, stories, and real German lunc heons.

The club has made rapid progress� during the last four years, and is surely fulfilling its mission, which is to bring Latin students into a closer and better understanding of the Latin language and its people, and thus increase their interest in the subject. The club holds monthly meetings, the programs being prepared by the different classes. Latin songs are sung; the habits and customs of the people and the lives of various Latin writers are studied. Much skill has been shown in the metric trans- lations of Latin given by a number of students. Much interest has been afforded this year by the dramatization of “An Unlucky Encounter,” from Satire IX, given by the Horace rlass and “Dido, the Phoenecian Queen,” given by the Virgil class. Other classes have given interesting programs during the year. While it takes a body of interested and enthusiastic students to really make such a club, we all know that having Miss Gardner as “dux femina facti,” has won for our club, the place it now holds in the life of students of the Kearney State Normal.

Clay Modeling and Pottery The work in this rlass constists of modeling from simple objects and of build- ing a series of pieces of pottery ranging from a low plain, flaring bowl, through square pieces decorated with incised line designs and objects with handles or lids, to tall and more elaborately decorated vases. The shape and decoration of each piece of pottery must be the original design of the student making it so that, of necessity, only the more advanced students who are familiar with drawing can be admitted to the class. This, our first year of pottery, the class has consisted mostly of seniors and has been exceptionally strong. The first of the year they labored under considerable difficulty because of a lack of equipment but gradually during the year conveniences have been added including a fine cupboard for keeping finished work and an ice box for keeping wet days. The pieces made during the year have been unusually good in design and well built and the collection of work made by the class is a credit to the patience and ability of it members as well as to the school. 4 t The Normal Chorus The Normal School chorus of ninety voices, under the leadership of Edith Lucile Robbins, Director of Music, with Ruth Scott as accompanist, gave three successful concerts during the year.

The Normal 13 and The Normal band was first organized in 1907 and made but few appearances. In 1907-8 the organization was affected sooner and much better work done; there being more experienced players. In 1908-9, probably the best band in the history of the school was perfected under the leadership of Professor Porter, The instrumentation was: Cornets, Lewis Pierce, Fred Adams, J. H. Kellogg; Altos: Kdward Shut . A. C. North; I'rombones: Roy Hanley, Cassius (tiffin, Lynn lloyt; Pass: Ralph Marrs; Clarinet: Harry Codner; baritone: Herbert Markward; Drums: Thomas (ioar, Ralph Truax. In the present year the band was badly broken up by the old players leaving, hut Prof. Porter got a bunch together by Christmas and at present is making a pow- erful. though small organization, for the dispensation of that which is pleasant to the ear. It is Imped that we may have some good concerts before the close of the year. The instrumentation is: Cornets: Lewis Pierce. Michael Healey, J. H. Kellogg. Altos: Kdward Shue, Ramsey. Trombones: Roy Stryker, Russell Bur ford, Lynn Hoyt, Pass: Klriier Burijuist. Clarinet: Prof, Porter. Baritone: Roy Hanley. Drums: Richard Stire, Everett Jenkins. J. H. K. wqitl utiXr[ Football r APT A IN. .1. K. WAlih. MANAGER, KORVAL PEARCE. The football team of 1908 was not very successful for the N. S. N., partly on account of the lark of material in the school and a lew ot the players having received severe injuries in the Hastings game, the team was disbanded early in November and the remaining dates were cancelled. 'The season of 1909 started out with good spirit and led by Prof. Porter the prospects for a good team were promising. The first game of the season was played with the High School and as the team had not been fully whipped into line, no great game was given and no points were scored on either side. But by excepting the Doane game which was a hard defeat, the Normal scored more points during the season than was scored against it. A few days before the Doane game. Dr. Thomas succeeded in getting a very competent coach in the person of Mr. Kroger of Grand Island who had played on the University team the year before. With his instructions the team was in fairly good shape in the Hastings game and only by accident did Hastings score on us leaving the final score five to nothing in favor of Hastings. Ward became disabled in prac- tice a few days before this game which caused the regular lineup to be somewhat changed around. The next game was played with Grand Island Business College. In this game the team work was good and the enthusiasm which the rooters carried with them saved the day for Kearney by a score of 11 to 0. The game following this was played at Peru on November 13 and under cir- cumstances which were unpleasant to both players and spectators, as the ground was covered with about three inches of water and a steady downpour of rain during the entire game, so that no scientific work could be done. In the first half Peru succeeded in making a safety but the remainder of the game the ball was kept in the center of the field u ith neither side showing any sup- erior work over the other. Grand Island Baptist College was to play at Kearney on November 20th, but on account of bad weather the game was postponed until December 3rd. which was no better so far as weather conditions were concerned. A hard snow storm prevailed throughout the game making it disagreeable for both players and those on the side lines. Under such conditions neither side was able to do any skillful playing, and when time was called after two short halves, neither side had succeeded in scoring against ilv; other. Uni so thf sea am ended; three defeats, one victory and two draws. T.ineup at beginning of season: Hamilton, center; cool, right guard; Stryker, left guard; Dryden, right tackle; Tool, left tackle; Crouse, right end: Brown, left nd: Scdistrnm, right half; Pearce, left half; McDonald, full hack: Shirey. quarter back. Lineup at end of season was; Hamilton, center; Cool, right guard; Hoyt, left guard: Dryden. right tackle; Samson, left tackle: Crouse, right end; Brown, left end; Kellogg, right half: Pearce, left half; Ward, quarter hack; Shirey, full hack ; Gregg.

The lineup was Lulu Henline, Kathleen Cole, forewards; Edith Lambert, Mollie Hawkins, guards; Lcnor Fitzgerald, Edna Anderson, centers; Elsie Smith, ('ura Pauli, substitutes. Games were played with Grand Island. Minden, Hastings and Kearnev High School and the team achieved great success during the season. The Kearney State Normal has reason to be proud of the girls’ first team for the year 1910. Thus far they have won every game played, showing great skill both in team work and in individual playing, which accounts for the splendid record. The lineup was Ruth Green.

Games were played with Kearney High School and Minden High School, and Overton. After football season, 1909, a lively interest was shown. Two teams were organ- ized with Ernest Dossett and D. F.

Especially has this been true of our baseball team. Baseball has been placed at a premium at the expense of other sports. The opening of the season of 1910 brings good cheer. Many of our players of former years are with us again and in better form than ever before. With Drum as backstop, Pauley on first. Ward on second, “Chick” Possett on short and “John P” Possett on third, we have the best infield the Normal has ever put out. So far none of the visiting teams have been able to solve the mysteries of Pat Murphy’s curves, and as for Beltzer the other star twirier, he already has to his credit for the season a no-hit no-run game. The outfielders are 'Pool, Pearce, Crouse and Cregg and such a bunch to spoil hits for the enemy is seldom seen in the circle of college ball. Do they win games? Cook at their record so far this year. Defeated Shelton, 14 to 3; Military Academy, 19 to ! ; M ood River, 8 to 2; Bellevue College, 10 to f ; Lexington, 1 to 0.

A plan has been formulated for next year, to take up a study of the drama from the beginning of the drama down to the drama of modern times and to review some of the principal dramas. C. P. Entertainment in the Normal during the year showed a slight variation in the presentation of a company of Mack Faced comedians. In order to relieve somewhat the pressure on the athletic e.xechequer the senior class offered to give a minstrel show, believing such an entertainment would be popular and command activity around the box ( llice. Interest in the show was unusually strong because the young ladies of the class were going to permit the natural (and acquired) beauty of face to be obscured for a time by the dusky hue of Ethiopian excellence, and Miss Angelina Johnsing certainly appeared in all her glory. It is reported that Mr. Dickerson and Mr. Seiver were compelled to engage stenographers to attend to their correspondence relative to employment as professional end-men in the great minstrel troupes of the country. 'They had to hide in order to escape being drafted when A1 Field’s bunch came to town. Any detailed criticism of the program would fail in its effort to point out the excellence of the same and will therefore not be attempted. Suffice it to say that the audience was highly pleased and the red of the athletic treasurer’s book faded some- what. Look the picture over and see if you know any of them, but be careful what you say out loud. M ia L 1. ra; Normal Lecture Course From a financial standpoint, the lecture course is not a great success, but as an important factor in the educational lift- of our students, it more than pays. With very few exceptions every number since the beginning of the school has been of the highest class. We have been privileged to hear such people as Mrs. Bertha Kunz 1'aker. Frank Roberson, Loraclo Taft, Ben Lindsay and Senator LaFollette. During the past year the entertainments have been held in the Normal Chapel and have been considered a success because we interest more of our students and bring the citizens in closer touch with our institution. The course for 1909-HI consisted of a lecture by Mr. John Gunkel of Cleveland, Ohio on how he organizes and helps the boys of Cleveland and other cities. This was followed by Dr. Peter Mat Queen, who gave an illustrated lecture on his travels in Africa. Mr. Harold Baynes talked on “Our Wild Neighbors,” and showed beauti- ful views of them in their native haunts. The Spanish Irchestra closed the course anti was considered one of the best musical attractions we have bad. The course for 19MM] will consist of a lecture by Judge Alden on “The Man of the Hour,” an art talk by Ilenry Turner Bailey, an entertainment by the Katherine Ridgwav company and a musical number by the col- lege ladies glee club. We have been very fortunate this year in having chapel talks by Principal Graff of the Omaha High School, Regent Copeland of Norfolk, and Chancellor Avery of the State University. The music department has furnished special music every Friday in chapel and gave programs at Christmas and Faster. The district meeting of the V. W. ( A, was held at the Normal and Miss Pad- dock a returned student volunteer missionary gave some interesting talks. W ith the various classes or organization and the entertainments furnished by the school, the students find every opportunity for intellectual growth and culture. The Model School “O! let not then unskillful hands attempt. To play the harp whose tones, whose living tones Are left forever in the strings. Better far That heaven's lightnings blast his very soul, And sink back to Chaos’ lowest depths, Than knowingly, by word or deed, he send A blight upon the trusting mind of youth.” As the primary purpose of the Normal is to aid in the instruction of the children of the state, it is necessary to have representatives of those children connected with the school and thus there has been established a kindergarten and the first ten grades. The elementary or model school began work when the school was established, amid the confusion of the work of carpenters completing the building and with almost no equipment, blackboards, text-books and desks were lacking. The spirit of the teachers and pupils was especially earnest and loyal and the majority of those who entered arc still attending the Normal. The work of the model school has strengthened each year until we have a modern school, excellently equipped and earnest and thorough in the work accomplished. Besides the so-called fundamental branches thoroughly taught, we have a strong course in music and art, besides sewing, manual training, clay modelling, etc., adding much to the development and pleasure of children. There is soon to he a playground equipped with all those things which will make it ideal. It is our desire to make the school as homelike as possible. The student teachers write plans for every lesson taught and put their best efforts into the work, while the critic teacher gives them all the guidance and sympathy in her power. n Kindergarten Department The kindergarten department of the Normal is second to none in the West. Twenty children can be accommodated and there is always a waiting list. Enlarged materials are used and a great deal of co-operative work done. One of the most pleasing places in the Normal is the Kindergarten room, where the children are always happy at their work and play. LO KGFBL LOW S. 1310.

Til,, picture of the Long’ll lows was taken In February, i;m$, it Includes some fifty of the young men in school who arc feet tall or over. Dr. Thomas Stands In the center of the line and acts as st measure. His high standing Iti the .state is well known. This picture in the best evidence that can he furnished of the kind of material the west Is furnishing for the future educated citiaen- hh. of this great commonwealth. This line-up is a fine bunch and it looks good to Dr. Thomas. n f A 4k k V t j ■ r These three jolly looking gentlemen are Messrs. Fred Keens, Ward Hardy and John Marshall. The health and comfort of the school depends upon these three gentlemen. They light it and warm it. and keep it clean. No matter how warm or how cold it may Ije they are expected to make the building comfortable. The dust and sand may blow, the building is always kept clean by these three men. Patience is their virtue: they listen to alt kinds of complaints about cold and heat, and dirt ami ventilation but never murmur. To he without these helpers would be a sad plight, indeed. i tk One of the most important features of the institution is the hoarding department, in which from one hundred to two hundred fifty students are taken care of. It was a fortunate day when Mr. and Mrs. John Saunders were secured to take charge of this department. Mr. and Mrs. Saunders are careful managers and buyers, know how to put up good meals and how to take care of a large company ol hoarders. Their former experience in keeping a high class hoarding house, their affable ways, their straightforward, businesslike policies make them the peer of any in this line. They not only have the good will, but the praise of till the students who take their meals at the dormitory boarding house, besides being an expert chef. Mr. Saunders is one of the finest engineers in the country having spent nearly twenty years in charge of the electric lighting plant of the city. His knowledge in this line is often of very great value to the school. ■dy and •e three • warm ’he dust ’atiencts nd dirt ; a sad Calendar 1909-10 SEPTEMBER. 15 Old Glory floats aloft. 16 Trains met by V.
