Foreword It is with pleasure that we present this, the third volume of “The Blue and Gold,” to our faculty, schoolmates and alumni. We have no apologies to offer, or excuses to make. We have labored earnestly and conscientiously, and if it can serve to instill one whit of greater loyalty to our Alma Mater, we shall feel that we have been repaid for our efforts. We are aware that perhaps you could have done the work far better, and offered a much more worthy production. We appreciate your willingness to overlook our faults, however, and trust you may profit by our mistakes. If. for instance, you have received a little “rub,” or if some one else has a more prominent place than you, just laugh it off. We trust that when you look at this volume in days to come it may bring back sweet thoughts of your college days at good old K. S. N., and paint memory pictures that will be pleasing to you. The staff wishes to express a hearty appreciation of the general spirit and support of the faculty and student body in our work ; also to the various reporters and assistants, to whom much of the success of our annual is due. Kspccially do we feel grateful to Miss Smith for her timely advice in the art work, and to Prof. Patterson and his stenographers for their work in preparing the manuscript. Here’s to the Blue and Hold, our Alma Mater so dear! May it prosper and grow to see large number of young people pass out to life’s work, better for having learned to love our colors, is our part ing word. Editor-In-Chief. State Board of Education I n N. va i .tkk a. rrsmiciE. f I« iX, J. 13. DEL ELL, DR. A. O. THOMAS. PRESIDENT President A. . Thomas was born in 1894 cm a farm in Merc er County, Illinois, removing with his parents to a prairie farm in western Iowa when he was ten years of age. As a boy. his opportunity and means to secure an education were very limited. With a hard struggle lie made his way through the public schools. Later he was en- abled to attend Amity College, at College Springs. Iowa. Later lie attended the Western Normal, which was established at Shenandoah. Iowa. Here be completed both the commercial and scientific courses. He afterwards returned to Amity, finish- ing the course in philosophy there. Here lie took a post graduate course of three years, the major subject in the course being sociology and the two minor subjects be- ing psychology and history of education. He took e.xaininaion for the degree of Doc- tor of Philosophy under Doctor Liulejvlm of Kdinburg. 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 id the city schools at Mindcn. He was elected superintendent of the city schools. Kearney, in 1901, and was holding that position at the time of his election to the presidency of the Normal. Phe growth of the Normal in the seven years of its existence, from the few to many hundred, and the condition of the school, lirmlv established at the present time, speaks highly of the ability and power of President Thomas. However. President Thomas’ success as an educator and executive does not lie alone in bis education nor splendid achievements of hand and head, but bis constant eagerness to serve others. He is never too busy to give a cheery word and glad smile to aid the homesick and discouraged. Never too busy to hear of the distresses of oil trs and help with words that will inspire new life and desires. His warm personal feeling and interests toward the students win respect and the admiration of all. He has an unbounded confidence in humanity. Patience is his great virtue and he is optimistic at all times. He rejoices with the fortunate, but can sympathize with the unfortunate as well. Can a sc hool help but succeed and grow not only in numbers but reputation and renown through the state and nation with a man like this at the wheel? This is the secret of the success of K. S.

CREDIMUS That education is ail affirmative process of living, whereby an immunire person, through guidanc e and suggestion of more mature persons, is elevated into the rare, In- coming a participant in the common race consciousness and living an enriched, beauti- ful life. Kducation in the broader sense consists in all the forces ol environment which mould the life of the individual. The highest function of education is to aid in devel- opment of love for humanity and the Deity. That in every child there are infinite possibilities; and the future of every child depends on hmv these possibilities are developed through education. The child is active in education. He is conscious of his growth only as he attains certain ends toward which he has been striving. That the teacher consciously guides and helps the child find life in its fullest sense. The Deity is the greatest Teacher. The teacher’s work gives c haracter to the state through the lives of its educated citizens. The teacher’s duty is to instruct and to discipline. The teacher must live himself in order to help others find life. That the curriculum should contain those branches of study which have cultural, disciplinary, and practical value. It should contain the best materials for life—en rit liment, that have come to us through civilization. That the result of education should be to make men and women mentally, morally, physically and spiritually sound, with a broad outlook in life —with a sympathy for Kimanity and a determination to make the world letter.

Senior Class History Our present eflieient Senior Class, it mu) surprise one, had a very meager be- ginning in September, 1908. There were several who were really Freshmen, but the class was not organized. Of course no one makes known that lie is a Freshman, except when occasion demands it. However the next year we began to be known. Our class numbered about fif- teen. only two of whom are members of the present Senior Class. Our beloved Prof. Snodgrass was chosen class adviser, and from that time to this we have kept him in that capacity. Faraont Stephens, who is now taking a course at the State University, was chosen President. We selected our class colors, lavander and white, and designed our pennant in the Sophomore year. Although we were few in numbers, with such a Leader, and a Sampson” to “Guy” us along, great things only could result. Time passed so pleasantly that we did not realize the year was coming to a close until the time arrived for decorating our famous May Supper” table. We had by this time developed a good taste for the knowledge for which we hungered, and now began to look for real banquets” in the Junior year. The year finally arrived and our numbers as well as our ability had increased. W e then mull bered nearly sixty, and rivalry with the Seniors ensued. We knew there must be either a lament or a Turnout in the chair, so Stephens was again inaugurated. Many were the pleasant gatherings we enjoyed, and too soon the year ended. Put the Senior class is always the climax of the whole course. Our class is the largest which has ever graduated from the Kearney State Normal and is without doubt the best. It ('(insists of eighty-one members and Frederick W. Deyke presides over this large number. There are a great number who 1 1 tinged to the Junior class of last year, but some dropped out and many new ones entered. We are still a very serene and dignified body, as is always expected of Seniors. We shall certainly make a success in every walk in life, judging from the differ- ent vocations and symbols represented. A Gale” is always present which keeps us on our way. and we even have a pair of Shoes” to aid us in the walk. If either of these are disabled, a “Hackman” is ready to assist us. h is well for us to “All-bee” Wise” but it will not come amiss if we are “Green” once in a while for we are all Goodfellows,” However if a battle should ever need to lie ‘Taught.” we have a Hilly” and a “Fort-”na at hand and we are as cunning as a “Fox,” so we have no “Fear.” Not long ago a “Kuhn” said to Ralph Essert, 1 “Saw-yer” standing in the “Hall” talking to Kate West. Ralph said, “1 don’t care if you did she’s a “Daisy” and anyway 1 was just asking her what “Colton” and “Wool” are “worth,” because I must report that in class.” “An der son” went away without asking any questions. It is not very pleasant to arise at the first “Crow” in order to get to Geography class in due time, but we have no cause to “Greve.” We have a “Wheeler” who c°u take us up to the pleasant “Pool” in the “Parks” when summer arrives, and a “Gard- ner” who will supply some of the eatables. “Olives” and “Cones” will also be served. Our “Reeder” delights us at our class gatherings, and “Violets,” Ferns,” “Daisies,” “Mabels” (May-bells), Tillies” and Myrtles” are used for decorating purposes. One precious gem, the “Ruby” is always seen on these occasions Several of our number will also soon enter matrimonial bliss” judging from the number of “sparklers” we see. Surely with a Gardner, a Hackman, a Purr man, a Reader, and a Mason represent- ed, every indications is for success. Three cheers for the class of 1912. ft Senior Basket Ball The boys basket ball team, representing the Junior class of 191 L opened the reason by defeating the Sophomores to the tune of 54 to 4. In tlu second siege they took on the Freshmen, winning from the beginners by the large margin of 53 to 16. In the final spasm the champions “tit he” cinched the pennant from the Seniors in a well fought game, by a curtain dropper of 22 to 16. Kssert, Toole, Burmati, Ritchey and Schott did the fancy manipulating of the hall in professional style through the season. To show that there was some class to the champions four of the five players were represented on the Normal's first team. The general line up for the season was: Ritchey. Center: Kssert. right forward;; Toole, left forward: Burmati, fight guard; Schott, left guard. With the opening of the season of 1912. the Senior class was represented in the • lass games by four of the players of 1911, consisting of Ritchey. Schott, Burman and Kssert. The new recruits VVeisel. iH'ke, II cards lee and Shue were available and each showed up in good form in the games in which they participated. The first adventure was with the Sophs. 'The husky second year men handed them 17 points in tins encounter and pulled out 25 for themselves. The main reason for the severe drubbing was that the Senior's main-pit] tosser. Kssert, severely sprained his ankle early in the first half and had to give way to a some what in-exper- ienced player. The loss of Kssert was plainly shown in the following games. A week later it was plain to bu seen that the Senior sterling's were not in the swim for the rag as they dropped a pretty exhibition of the winter pastime to the Mamma boys of the first year, to the mournful melody of 22 to 14 . The K resides were assisted in this pr menade by a few members of the first year's utnmercials. The grand finale of these mighty rombats was laid between the sterling Seniors and the plucky Juniors. In a hard fought, fiercely contested and bloody battle the honors were evenly divided in the first skirmish, but the Juniors put on more war paint and at ‘he close of the massacre marched off the field with 13 unlucky scalps dangling from their belts leaving only half a dozen souvenirs for the graduate men In the Senior line up for this season. Deyke at center was a tall one to meet; Weisel at right guard was as agile as a cat; Beardslee at right gut his man and tin ball each time; lessen at left forward put the ball through the basket like a charm; Burman at left guard was at the pickings all the time: Shuo and Ritchey at center in their respective games were on tiptoe at every opportunity: and Schott showed that lie knew the position at right guard as well as a prolesh. In all the games the Ijoys showed their gameness ami vigor in sensational playing firm the first whistle until the gong rang. t f t'itzgrerald. Zwink, Hackman, Dunlap, Eads, Rugbies. Senior Basket Ball—Girls In 19IU I I the Juniors. now Seniors, won the school penmant. The Junior girls •tvofi every game. Catherine Hackman. Filice Chesemore. ami Kmm;i Crow played i timer, J Elizabeth |eanettu and Julia fFCnmior were the forwards who never missed a goal. Helen Wmlwnrth and Gladys (irayhill played guards. Of this number Miss Hark man is the onlv one who played on the Senior team the past year. Of the 1 21 1- l I class games, the Junior Senior game was the must exciting and when the final store was announced- all knew that the pennant had been won by the juniors. Ilte Senior team cf I'M I 12 was as good a team as when the class were Juniors and won every game except the Junior-Senior, which shows that the Juniors had a good team this year. Hannah Dunlap and Fern I aids played centers on the Senior team. Miss Dun lap is a level-headed player, one of those who are quick and yet take time to calculate and she knows how to get the ball and where to put it to the best advantage. Fern Ivatls. as second center, played an excellent game. Team work is essential for the forwards and the Senior forwards, Catherine Hack mail and Vera Fitzgerald certainly do team work. Accurate goal throwing is also characteristic of these forwards; I'he Senior guards were Ida Kuggles. Kate W est and Louise Zwiuk. Miss Rug- gies got valuable training in practicing at the Nebraska University. Quickness and persistency are characteristic of her playing and also of Miss West’s playing Miss wink is not an experienced player but she is level headed and knows where the ball should go. As a whole, the Senior class is accurate, quick and bound to win. Class Organization F. W. Deyke ....................................

Miss O’Connell was appointed class adviser and to her is attributed the greater part of our success as a class. The following officers were elected lor the freshman year: President—Kdward Hanisch. Vice President—Emma Brown. Secretary and Treasurer—O. M. Thygeson. During the year the class colors were chosen and the yellow and brown have been much in evidence ever since. The class had a table at the May supper and much spirit was evidenced in pre- paring and carrying out this stunt.” As the bud bursts forth in full bloom so the Freshman were transformed into Sophomores. The class was organized very early and a bright, jolly bunch entered into the work of the year with loyal class spirit. The following officers were elected for the Sophomore year. 1910-11 : President—Leonard Steburg. Vice President—Raymond Kirk. Secretary—Lena Rowel I. Treasurer— Hive Stillwell. When the result of the preliminary debate was announced it was found that al most half the debating squad was made up of Sophomores. class party was given in the second semester and the rest-room was as much alive as it ever has been before or since. The year wound up with a jolly picnic on Cotton Mill lake. In this way the happy year closed but only to open into the prosperous Junior year. And now the class has reached the enviable position of Juniors the happiest year of all. Many new students attracted bv the charms and brilliancy of the class have entered the ranks, bringing with them, added power and new life-, till now the roll numbers almost one hundred. The first meeting of the junior class was held (Jet. 20, 191 L Mr. Kirk, last year’s Vice President, having shown himself so capable, was elected President of the i lass. Mr. Birklebaeh was chosen as Vice President. The other officers elected were: Miss Ethel Strasser. Secretary; Mr. Ilolzmark. Treasurer, and. last but not least, (c cep! in size) Mr. Jones. Sergeant at Arms. The first Junior party was held on Saturday evening, November 4. in the V. W. res-1-room, which was tastefully decorated in the class-colors to suit the occasion. 'I here were seventy-five members present and such a time was enjoyed as only Juniors are capable of enjoying. Among other things the class lias come to the front in basket ball. The girls under the leadership of Miss Arnold and the bovs under Mr. Purford have made the other classes stand back and take notice. Their victory has been complete and they have gained the coveted pennant. In the debating squad of twelve this year there were live Juniors. 1 hey are also well represented in the various clubs and in V. M. and V. V. work, the President of the V. W. lieing a 1 unior. In the foot ball squad last fall they did creditable work. In fact the Juniors have shown themselves capable and efficient in everything they have undertaken. Their aim is to win greater honor for themselves during (heir school life.

The Freshmen fought honorably and bravely. But when the “siren” blew at the end of the second half the score stood 7 to 21 in favor of the invincible Juniors. When the twenty-sixth of January was in its last quarter, the Junior basket ball girls met those would be Juniors (the Sophomores) in the most hotly contested game if the season. These two teams were so evenly matched that, when time was called at the end of the second half, the score board read 2 l to 20.” So then it was neces sary to play extra time in order to see who would be the victors. After a short time of hard playing it resulted in a well fought victory for the Jolly Juniors by a score of 21 to 23, Oh you Sophomores! we give you credit for putting up the best game of the series but nevertheless you will have to ronceed the fact that the Junior girls are un- conquerable. and you will have to how to them in recognition of this fact. On the bright and beautiful evening of February the sixteenth, when nature was giving us the first evidence of spring: rtwas then the Juniors met those would be cham- pions, the Seniors, in the last of the annual ('lass games. The Seniors fought with un- tiring energy but were unable to cope with those Magnanimous Juniors. It was not entirely a walk away for the Juniors because the score card read sixteen to ten, but there was enough of a gain to make the Juniors the undisputed victors. Oh, you Sen- iors! it is hard for you, we know, to acknowledge the Juniors as your superior but never-1he-less you will have to bow to the Juniors in acknowledgment of their supe- riority, in basket ball at least. This being the last game it made the Junior girls the undefeated champions! The lunior girls vho established this wonderful record are the following: {luards: Anna .Kepler, Helen Stevenson, Charlotte V illiauis and Mary Gibbon. Forwards: Ruth Arnold, Grace Koch.

We elected a full corps of officers with Prof, 1-1. ). Sutton as class adviser and Everett Jenkins presi- dent. One of the hardest problems of the year was to choose our c olors and flower, no one could quite decide which was the prettiest Finally, the decision was given in favor of orange and black. And orange and black will represent our gallant class to the end of time. rhea came the V YV. t A. May supper and the Freshmen must do their work, There was great excitement for a week or more before the eventful night. The presi- dent called a special meeting to find out what he should do. We voted that our table should he decorated with crepe paper of orange and black, but just what the decora lions should be. could not In decided Saturday morning we all went down to gel ready. Messengers were running to and fro. some were bringing scissors and glue, while others hurried down town for paper and candies Paper was looped and twined—but still it was incomplete. W hat should we put c� u the table? W e wanted more than just randies anil candlesticks. And then someone fount! an old market basket. Yes a market basket. Someone else suggested having a May basket for our table filled with flowers, Thai is exactly what it turned out to be. We wove narrow widths of paper in and out until we had covered the whole basket with a liecker board of orange and blac k. Then we trouped to the green house I � find the posies. W e picked out Mar [merites and Ferux, The May basket received many compliments that evening and the Freshmen felt rewarded for their extra work. What became of that basket? Well, it was perhaps :30 o'clock when several ghostly forms crept stealthily beneath the shadows of the big trees on 27th street and waited breathlessly for one of their number to put the basket on the porch of a little home across the street, ring the door bell and run, I know not what Prof. Sutton thought when he opened the door and saw his May basket After such an experience it was only natural for the Freshies to chose the Mar- guerite for their flower. Very soon came the class track meet and picnics. The Freshmen had many spe- cial meetings, preparing for tlu-se events. They had run and jumped till they were almost experts at the trade. It was a cold Monday morning when wo all gathered at the ball park to watch our favorites win. Excitement reigned supreme indeed. It was not in vain, our boys had practiced, They showed wonderful results and when the points were counted we were only I 1-2 behind the winners. Of the 33 1-4 points made, the girls made six in the only girls event uf the day the twenty-five yard dash. At one o’clock we were gathered again at the Normal steps waiting for our “cab.” It came soon— a three seated rig which made one feel a bit crowded with eleven peo- BLUE. GOLD ISIS ir. s aAesasatwcnt pit packed in. W'hen we stopped in front of the little house on 27th street, Mr. and .Mrs. Sutton came out with a great basket of something which proved later to be pop corn and candy. I think every freshie who went to Plum drove will remember that picnic to his dying day. We had rope for swings, a base ball outfit, boxing gloves, and fish lines. Indeed a good motto for the class would be Lets go see the fishes. None were seen that day however. After we had worn ourselves out playing and had explored the river up and down, we spread the lunch under the trees and ate like we had never eaten before. We drove home in the twilight, telling stories and singing songs, and as each person was left at his home he called back a cheery good night, and a hope that this ( lass might have many more of these good times. After three months of recreation the class returned in the fall of 1 211 with re- newed vigor and new ambitions. They were joined by many new members who soon proved that their interest was with the school and the Sophomore class. The first meeting was called by Mr. Jenkins, our honored president of 1910-19! 1. Officers were elected and we were prepared to begin a year which had promises of great achievements. Our first great problem was to choose a pennant. This gave several members of tlie class a chance to show their inclination toward art. After studying the designs submitted and listening to many debates on these designs, we choose one which we thought the class would be proud of in the years to come. In order that the old and new members might become better acquainted we tie- tided to have a class party on November 18th. I lie members of the decoration com- mittee taxed their artistic natures to the utmost and soon had the old library decorated with orange and black in a manner suitable for the occasion. This is long to he re- membered by those present. We had an interesting and exciting game of foot ball. Phis party was not only entertaining but also instructive. We are sure that none present will ever forget that “noodles are fish and that “unions’ are Iruit, bva Sut- ton, as mascot, won for herself a permanent place in the class ut 1914. I he evening ended all too quickly and with the usual, cheery, “good night, everyone departed, happily, giving vent to this happiness by means of the Sophomore yells. Our attention was now turned toward basket, ball, Julia llilzinger was chosen manager of the girls basket ball team and Robert Randolph, manager of the boys team. The accounts of the achievements will be found elsewhere. Hut we must pause for a moment and consider how those teams so gallantly defended the orange and black, while their classmates stood on the side lines and cheered them on to victory. In spite of difficulties which would have disheartened almost anybody, they did not become discouraged. Hut basket ball is only one branch of athletics and w« are expecting great things of our track team. At the time this goes to press it looks as though 14 had the trophy cinched. Perhaps it is enough to say that wherever there is anything doing, there you will find a Sophomore. Our class is well represented in the literary societies and Christian associations of the Normal. What shall be our ideal as a class? Let ns strive to be students in the fullest sense of the word. Let us be honest and sincere in whatever we undertake, al ways willing to strive in anyway that will make our college, class, and friends better by our having labored with them. Most important of all. however, let every .Sophomore resolve to finish the work that he is in: let him cast his lot among those who. when golden opportunity knocks at his door will be ready to respond.

The Sophomore Class Basket Ball Games Never in the history of the Normal lias the Sophomore class produced such results in line annual Haas basket ball games as it lias this year. Milton I osseU. our center, and also one of our best goal throwers, was very accurate in passing the ball and elud- ing his opponents, Ruben .Sanderson our left forward, made a basket whenever bis opponent didn’t happen to be looking. Hob Randolph, the husky out , played right forward, and succeeded in throwing several goals, throughout the series of class games. Clyde Simpson, the boy with the pompadour, played left guard and besides playing a good game drew applause from the feminine spectators. Lawrence Brown, our right guard, tilled his position well, setting things afire with his enthusiasm and bright red hair. (Heim Chadderdon—Sub-forward, only had opportunity to play in one game, but managed, in that time, to drop one into the basket. The first game was played on the evening of J anuary 20. when we met the Seniors, and in a fast game scored twen- ty-five to seventeen in our favor The first half was rather discouraging to us. the Seniors leading with a score of 1 5 to 7. But the second half showed much better team work, during which time eighteen points were made by our boy- in contrast with the two made by the Seniors. Our second game was played on Jan, 271 h. in which we were defeated, at the hands of the Juniors, our team living handicapped by injuries sustained by two of our best players. They scored thirty-one points to our seventeen. Our third and last game was played on February 2. with the noble Freshmen as our opponents. But we were not long in realizing that the Freshmen were very effi- cient in the art of basket balls, for at the end of the first half they were leading by a .score of 10 to 9. However, we are proud to say that the game was ours by a score of seventeen to fourteen. This dosed the season with two out of three games to our «redit. Sophomore Girls Basket Ball Flic class of 1914 has been fortunate during each of the past two years, in having a girls' basket ball team that could play good ball. Although in� fingers are needed upon which to count the victories of these teams, yet everyone knows that there is such a thing as luck, even in a basket ball game. The games of the past season were none of them poor. The Seniors won by the largest score. I he Freshmen were so thankful to win, even by three points, that they still maintain silence. The game with the Juniors was a hotly contested affair, and at the end of “time” stood. 20 to 20. With a few moments more, the game ended 23 to 21 in favor of the Juniors. “The fastest and best girls game. I ever saw.” was the remark of more than one from the side lines, thus showing that the Sophomore girls can and have played good ball, even with the championship team of the school. The girls who compose this team are Julia Hilzinger (Capt.) C; Jean West, C: Elina Squires, F; Sara Gomme, F Mary Kirk. G: Fannie Randolph, G; Llah Murphy, Sub. Winn if red Harmon, who played Guard the first of the season, left school at the beginning of the second semester, thus, to some extent, weakening the team.

History of the Freshmen Class Dear Reader: We feci inclined i say in the words of Holy Writ: “Draw not hither, Rut off the shoes from off thy feet, for this place whereon thou si a i ides t. is Holy ground.” The class, the subject of this sketch, can not be classed among the ordinary, but is remarkable beyond all others. I is abilities are beyond the ken of man; its doings beyond his powers of description and its possibilities beyond the reach of the English language. But something must be said to arouse the imagination of the reader. In the first place, the greatness of this class is indicated by the fact that Presi- dent Thomas lias been unable in select for it a worthy adviser. The faculty list has been canvassed and rc-canvased. but each and all have fallen short of the standard. Meanwhile the class goes oil Like a ship without a sail, Like a dog without a tail. Like a------well! ii simply goes on. But the remarkableness of this class is best shown by the masterly way in which it conducted its first class meeting For whoever heard tell of a class before, who car- ried on its business, and at one and the same time, manufactured its own Parliament ary proceedures. But this class did even this, as the secretary’s minutes will prove. The Freshmen heard the great Annual being contemplated. They saw the Sop Si - omorcs (By the way the Freshmen beat them in basket ball) standing around in the halls, chewing up their pencils and puzzling over the coming class meeting. But not sii the Freshmen. On Dec. 5, tlicv had their first class meeting. There was nothing in stop them —not even Mrs. Steadman's Dice (’Iub practice—so they went ahead and Htst had it Locking the doors oil the inquisitive Sophomores I In passing we might remark that the Freshmen l eat them in Basket Ball) this unusual class proceeded with its business in an unusual manner. Miss C arrie Unit took the floor and called the meet- ing to order with: ‘‘Ladies and (lentlemen. Those wishing Mr. Lewis to be president please hold up their hands. Each one held up at least two hands. Mr. Lewis at once arose w ith the following address: “Illustrious class of 1915. ou have already shown your superior intellect in your choice of a president, and may it he that the following officers will not disgrace him. The ne t business in order was the election of a Vice President. Now whoever lie. she or il may b they must capably fd! the office. Marie Winn rising impressively: “I nominate Larne Huh and Helen Anderson, since thev both asked me to. Mr. Cederlnirg quickly: “I sec- ond the motion.” Here the meeting was interrupted by Fred Brown, who earnestly spoke of the need of a representative from the Freshman class, to act as Assistant Business Manager on the Annual Staff. Begging that the one chosen he trustworthy and condescending, he humbly withdrew. As Mr. Lewis was the most upright mem- ber of the class (see illustration) he was at once chosen. Resuming the business, the President called for volunteers for secretary. Carrie Hult. having taken a course in cartooning promised to fully illustrate the minutes, so was elected secretary.

Mr. Easterling arose trembling: “I -a make a motion that we a-adjourn.” Mr. Lewis: “I believe we are not through with all of our business. Mr. Easterling will you withdraw that motion? “1-er-oh-a-l move we go on with the business.” Mr. Cederburg, Mr. Snyder and Julia Hull, nominees for sergeant-at-arms. Votes collected and counted, (hi Mr. Lewis solemnly announcing that there had been some stuffing of the ballot box Mbs Kish and I‘elle Canly, confessed that they voted for each candidate, since they did not wish to seem partial. The vote was taken again, much to the disgust of the two girls. Hv this time it was growing dark, and Mr. Lewis stuck his head out of the window, and like Joshua, commanded, the sun to stand still. Hut some how he failed to connect, and it continued to grow dark. Also, because his was an extraordinary class, they had not forgotten about their suppers in the midst of all the excitement, so the meeting adjourned for the evening. The remarkableuess of this class is shown not only in the things it is able to do, hut also in the things it is able to do without. They have no adviser, no flower, no motto, have had no parties.

Not because it was thought that they might win a game, but rather to show fair treatment to the class and to its future prospers. The time of not considering them “possibilities” is now passed according to all in- dications, for the Freshmen teams this year, have not only shown themselves capable of making large scores, but have actually beaten their adversaries in two games. The first games were played with the Juniors. There was a lack of material in the Freshman class which had to be filled out with upper classmates, so team-work was lacking. Nevertheless the showing made was good. Though the girls won but few points, they were promising. The boys also played an encouraging game. In the game with the Seniors, the Freshmen boys were surprisingly strong, and took the game with an ease that made the ‘‘brainy worthies” sit up and take notice. The girls were again foriuuatc as to score and their prospects for future distinction, were good. But to the Sophomore girls, they showed a hot time: leading them in an exciting game and winning by a sufficient margin to prove their superiority. At first class spirit was lac king at the games. It was almost impossible to gather together the Freshmen for a good representation. But: as the teams showed their merit, the interest grew and the players did not need tit feel that their efforts were not appre- ciated.

The thoroughness of the work has placed the Kearney Normal commercial department in high esteem and made it one of the most important business training schools in the state. I he success of the Kearney Normal commercial graduates depends largely upon the man at the head of the department. It is with pride that we point 1o the person o! Prof. Patterson as the head of litis department He is a practical, hard working man. of good scholarship, who is at all times endeavoring to make the commercial de- partment stronger and better. Thoroughness, and plenty of work, is his motto ; and therein lies the secret of tlu success of his students. They learn to do by doing. In music circles Prof. Patterson also takes a prominent part. He is leader of the orchestra, and has developed it into the best orchestra the school ever had. We also fmd him one of the most loyal boosters for college athletics, and every thing that tends to make a greater school. I I nder the efficient management of Prof. Patterson, the commercial department meets the future with the happy realization that it shall make still greater progress in the most important science of them all—the bread and butter science. •r Ii33 i tt %.

WUift jTUWPWBgUPPMN History of the Commercial Class Our Commercial Course, covering a period of three years, is one of the most complete business courses of the middle west. It thoroughly prepares its graduates for positions as instructors in Commercial Departments oi High schools and Colleges, as well as lor olhee work. For this reason many subjects, not stric tly commercial, are required, in order to give the graduate a thorough and broad knowledge, when he has completed the course. Students who have completed the three year course, receive a department diploma from the school and may enter the Senior year of the higher course and complete the same in one year. In 1910 with the coming of Professor 15. II. Patterson, as head of the Commercial Department, interest and enthusiasm was aroused and the class enrollment lias been larger than in previous years. (If the class of about forty organized, at this time, must of the students declare their intention of completing the full term.

THE ANTELOPE The Antelope, ilie official publication n| the students of the Kearney State Nor- mal is a weekly newspaper containing items of interest to the students, alumnae, teach urs and friends of tile school. It has passed through various stages of development which usually attend the growth of a college publication in reaching its highest stage. Although less than two years old. it has a very large circulation and is rapidly coming to the front among school publications. Even though it comes out every week, it contains as much news as many monthly papers. Mr. Randall has succeeded in working up advertisements and subscriptions so that it can be run on a firm basis. Mr. Herman is ever on the alert for news and items of interest to everyone, 5th these men at the helm, and the able body of reporters we can justly feel proud of our paper. 1'he Antelope publishing force consists of an Editor, Business Manager, and a staff of reporters, supervised by a Board of Control composed of five members of the faculty and ;l representative from each of the different classes. The first issue of the Antelope appeared December first, 1910. The first editor was Lester Chadderdon ; first business manager Lainont Stevens. PRESENT OFFICERS.

Since graduation he has had experience as physical di- rector in other institutions. In he past two years he has had charge of the athletics of the Kearney Normal, Under 11is training the Normal has produced some of the leading athleti teams in the stale, in the different ath- letic departments. He is a man of charcter. His warriors will long remember the final instructions before the tug of war: “Boys play the game, but play it fair.” V Russell Burforcl the captain ami center of our fool ball squad was tile pivot of our foot hall Uam. Having Iwn hundred pounds of sturdy muscle, he goes through the op- posing lines as though they were tissue paper. “Red” lias Inrun a Normal stand-by for three years and is at liis best this year.

His line plunges are deserving of special mention, liar vard may boast of her “human bullets'1 but she hasn't ‘'skinned us a bit in this re rpcct, lie excelled in the other departments of the game as well —being a strong man on defensive and interference. We hope he may be able to h - in the line-up when the whistle blows next fall. Age 20, weight 160 pounds. Karl Car rig, as quarterback, was a constant instigator of our enemy's downfall. He directed the plays in a masterful way and did his share in carrying the ball. Mis forward passes were remarkably swift and accurate. He made an enviable record with his foot in the kicking department. IIU punts were not excelled by opponents and no one in the state has won more points from field goals for his team. He is surely deserving of the place given him on the “all state team. Tic was a member ol tne Commercial class Age 20. weight 160 pounds. Ralph Kssert hails from Colorado and like most of the fearless western people. U from the hills. This environment and atmosphere has instilled in him the right qualifications for a foot ball man. When “Yacup” hits the line he crawls right over it and doesn’t care if it as high and wide as t mountain. When lie gets in the open he is hard to get. Kssert plays a good, consistent game, is always up and doieg and is down the held on a kick off in a twinkling. This is KssertV second year in foot ball and the Normal team could not do without him. He plays right half. Age 21. weight 160 pounds. 1 • j 7 Charles urehtun played full-back during part of the season.

Will Randall in his position at left guard was always in the game from start to fmisli, 11 is steady consistent work speaks well for the success of next year’s team, lie is a reliable player, and his age is no indication of a “young” player when he is in action.

BLUE. 6 GOLD ISIS ATHLETICS The Athletics of the Kearney State Normal play a prominent part in the school life; and the general success of the teams participating in the various sports, is deserv- ing of special notice, and commendation During the last two years the Normal has had a base ball team which tied for first place in the state. Finishing second, and a close first, in foot Dal I among the col- leges of the state. With her position now recognized among the colleges of Nebraska, there is little danger that contests with her will lie considered merely practice games. With the rapid growth of the institution, it is not likely that the tables may be turned in this respect. Our foot ball season opened with a contest between our own ami the strong High school team. A victory was nurs by a comfortable margin but in spite of our encouraging outlook. Kearney Normal took a slump, after the over- whelming defeat which we suffered at the hands of the Nebraska University. Had this game been played later in the season the score would undoubtedly have been I airly close, if we may be permitted to base a conclusion on our showing against the Ne- braska University Reserves, since the latter played in such strong opposition to the “Varsity.” Taking into consideration the strength and finished condition of the Ne- braska team so early in the season and her strength we have nothing of which to Ik ashamed. From this time on. appearances seemed to indicate easy and sure victory hut the last games proved a Tartar, and Kearney was defeated by a small score. Nev- ertheless the Kearney Normal lias reason to feel proud of her record for the season. The base ball team has always been strong and the record of DJI I was no excep- tion. The Colleges of the state were divided into two districts. Kearney Normal be- longing to the western. We won the championship of the Western Circuit by defeating York. Grand Island and Hastings Colleges, We tried to get a game with the winners of the Eastern Circuit but failed, and the result remained a tie. The season of 1912 bids fair to see Kearney in first place. In the first game of the season with Grand Island College, Normal won by a score of 8 to 2. The team is in good condition, and have a good schedule to play this year. The team that play- ed Grand Island were McClure, captain, pitcher, DeVol catcher. Dossett 1st base. W. Kssert 2nd base. R. Kssert, short stop. Winchell 3rd base. R. Randolph right field. Bumian center field. Wareham left field, W. Randolph pitcher. Mr. 'Pool is back in school and will presumably hold his old position at center field. Other minor changes in the line-up may occur before the season is over. B u E. The boys basket hall has been the hardest of the three sports to make a “winner.” Probably this is due to the fact that, until 1911, there was no suitable place to prac- tice. The season of 1912 found us with more material and a better team than 1911, but we suspect that the same is due to our sister schools judging from comparative scores. A good deal of interest has been manifested in inter-class games, which have helped to interest more students in Athletics. The boys second team has made a good showing during the past season, and is deserving of commendation. Indeed we are proud id our girls. They have brought victory to the “Blue and Cold whenever they entered the field of contest. On February 23 Aurora H. S. almost succeeded in carrying off the scalps, in the first half of the game the open court was used. 'Phis was the first time our girls had ever played that way. In the second half the tables were turned. The game was played under women’s mles and victory was wrestled, as it were, out of the very jaws of defeat, the final score standing 19 to 11 in favor of the Normal. The following are the players: Hannah Dunlap and Kda Hanisch are the centers, who pull the ball down to their goal before their opponents see it go. When the hall is in the hands of the forwards we breathe easily, for Ruth Aronld makes splendid long throws and Captain (irate Koch is a crack shot for the goal. Anna Kepler and Katherine Hackman are guards to whom the low st ore of the opponents is due, As spring draws near, the excellent sport of tennis is making its debut, A club lias U en organized with Prof. Sutton as President, Miss Williams as Secretary-treas- urer, and Mr. Sawyer Custodian. An exceptionally large number turned out for ten- nis, and prospects are good for some very interesting lass matches this spring. The two courts east of the (lymnasium have been put in good condition, and an additional court has also been secured west of Steadman’s residence, affording good pastime for those interested. «r = i i -Hi ;- ■ d •.!'i1 - ; i.li'iriiiiiihBttiiLib'Jii il=41 Fir • ! I I | j. J _ 11 IP mm ■Hi Among the various organizations f our school we give our attention. Iirst. to I he Christian associations. These are among the largest in the school, and have a great influence upon the school and its student body. The Christian associations in this school are the V. M. and Y. W. ’. A. and the Catholic Club.. The purpose of the Y. M. C. A. is to lead students to become intelligent and loyal disciples of Jesus Christ; to help them overcome the subtle temptations of student l.fe; to build up in them strong faith and symmetrical Christian character, and lo train them in the best methods of associated work. For these reasons every man should make it a special point to join the Association; to strengthen it. and to allow it to strengthen him. Owing to the good work of I lie Membership Committee we have over fifty young men enrolled as members of the Association, this year. 'Phis lias been one of the most successful years we have had in having a good, strong organization. 'This Committee also arranges to meet new students at the train: to assist them in finding good rooms and board; also in registration, and any other service possible. They also s� l-in to visit new students the first few weeks of school. The regular meetings of the Y. M. C. A. are held in the chanel every Wednes- day from 1 :Q0 to 1 :30. Here under student leadership, tonic's of vital interest are discussed, which arc preceded by a short song service. 11 is very interesting to see how willing the young men are to express their different opinions on the snbferi. We are often fortiin.Oe enough to get rood sneakers from th� town ami from t!v Faculty, hut most of th leaders are taken from the Association. The Bible Study classes are included in the regular course of study in this school, and are left to the instruction of Prof. C. T. Anderson who does full justice to the work. The Social Committee does a great deal towards the advancement of the N M. C. A. in this school. At the first of every year a Stag recent inn is given, to which every man of the school is invited. 'Phis is most generally in the form of a watermelon feed and a few other snorts. It is given to bring the voting men togerivr and it is an eniovable affair, with a good opportunity to meet new friends. Tlv-r - is also a general reception given the first of the year by the Y. M. and Y. W. C V This s given for every one who wants to come and it is an evening spent in merinoc both old and new friends. As n means of raising funds the two Associations give each year what is known as the Not A Show. This is one of the big events of the year. Tu the spring the two cabinets also have a picnic, ft is such things that develop the Associa- tion in more ways than one. - During the past years, the Association has I teen represented at all the - M, C. A. conventions by its full quota of delegates. Last year it was represented at the Students Volunteer Conference held at I'diversity Place by Mr. Donald Gregg. Mr. Grover Rost and Mr. W ilson Delxell. It was represented at the Students Conference at Kstes Park, Colorado, bv Mr. Wm. Conk, and also at the V. M. C. A. State Con- vention by Mr. Will J. Heachy. and Mr. Robert Randolph. Interesting reports were brought back from these Conventions, and the work of this Association instills within our hearts a deeper love for the Great Teacher and a broader sympathy for all man- kind. y.

'Flie purpose of this organization is in develop ( liristian eliarafter and to deepen the spiritual life of each girl in school. We are trying to develop womanhood of the purest type. “Kings daughters who are indeed all glorious within.” We would firing together all the voting women into « closer union or friendship and service here in the Association, so that tluv may gain a true knowledge of Chrician work and Christian standards and he well prepared to accept the responsibility of molding the Fees and characters of the children who are constantly under their inlluenct and guid- ance in every walk of life. In the Association there is a membership of one hundred and twenty-live girls and also the affiliated numbers consisting of former students and women of the city who are interested in us and aid n in the various ways. The organiatieii is under the • upend.a on of 1 President, a (.Jen era I Secretary, a Cabinet and an Advisory board. The Cabinet consists of girls who are chairmen of the seven ccimnitte ;. Karh girl of the Association is a mem Hit of a certain «oiumiltee and has her d-finite work for which she is responsible. The young women who rrme to the Normal for the first time and arc not ac igtainted with their surroundings are welcomed at the station by a hand of . N . I . A. girls who aid them in securing comfortable boarding and rooming places and make them feel at home in our midst. File girls of the membership con mince make a canvas of the school for the pur- pose of giving each voting woman an opportunity to become a member of the Associa- tion, The Bible classes taught by Misses Anna Jennings and Ida Ward were organized by the Bible Study Committee for the purpose of giving the girls an opportunity to become more familiar with the teachings of the scriptures. With tlit aid of the V. M. C. A, a credit Bible i lass taught by Professor C. N. Anderson, is now established and open for all students id the Normal. The Wednesday afternoon Religious meetings, which are arranged by the Pe- votional Committee, furnish spiritual food and point out the Christian ideals from which we receive valuable lessons and experiences, whereby we may be of more ser- vice to our fellow men. The Finance and Intercollegiate committees must be given much credit for the business like way they manage the funds of the Association. Special mention must he given to the large number of pennants sold during the year. The Missionary Committee organized three classes. “The I'pward l uh taught by Miss Rosalie Prydcn, “The Uplift of China ‘ taught by Miss Y ensem Miss Alma Hosie is teaching a class in “Rural Problems.” All will acknowledge that the Social Committee has done excellent work in en- tertaining us on many occasions, such as; the receptions for becoming acquainted with the girls, and to meet the student secretaries and then the social function held im- mediately after the installation meeting. The joint reception for all the students given under the auspices of the V. W. C. A. and V. M. C. A. in September is one means by which all the students are brought y together and become acquainted, A very enjoyable feature in the spring is a joint picnic of the V. W. C. A. and V. M. C A, cabinet members who have labored so diligently during the year. Each fall the two organizations co-operate in giving a ‘‘Not-a Show” which is on the order of a “Fair.” The proceeds of this entertainment are used for the gen era! expenses of the Associations. The Social Committee with the help of all the members of the Y, V. C. A. gives a May supper in the Methodist church. This money is used for tin Cascade- Confer- ence that is held in the summer. During the year 1910-1911 we sent four delegates. Misses Ida Ward, Amanda My- lander, Pauline dale and Myrtle Agnew to Lincoln to attend the State Student Vol- unteer Convention. The Association was represented at the North Central Territorial Convention at | Sioux City, Iowa, by Miss Matilda Strasser. Misses Ellen Murphy, Sadie Brown and Matilda Strasser were delegates at the Western Conference at Cascade, Colorado, last summer. The interest of all the members of the Association this year centers about our new Rest Room. We are purchasing furniture and necessary equipment to tit this room for a V, M . C. A. home for all the girls where they may come to rest and have a quiet hour by themselves and also receive help in regard to the Association work from the secretary, who has her office in this room. Without a doubt, if the girls of the Normal affiliate themselves with the Voting Womens Christian Association they will be benefit ted intellectually, socially and spiritually. O FFICERS ! 911-1912.

Catholic Students’ Blub f'rotn the standpoint of tin Christian, religious training is an essential feature in education, and the leaders in athplic thought have long felt the necessity of provid- ing a supplementary education in the Holy Scriptures and teachings of the church. The Catholic students of the University of California were among the first to at- tempt organization. After some unsuccessful endeavors, a permanent societv was es- tablished in I8PT The name ‘Newman Club” in coinnieninration of die great Cardi- nal, was adopted as title of the association of Catholic L nivcrsitv students. Many others followed in their footsteps and now the club lias become a national organization, Cur club was organized in the early history of the Kearney Normal. As it grew in membership, it also grew in strength and efficiency. At present we have a strong membership of enthusiastic young men and women. It is the aim of the club lo bring the students in closer touch with the literature of their faith and to encourage a practical religion. Regular meetings are held every two weeks and various books are taken up for discussion.

It, was organized in Jan- uary 1910. The purpose of the club is to give an opportunity for the promotion of an interested in literary achievement through original effort. The meetings are held once a month, at the homes of the different members of the Hub, An hour or more is de- voted to the literary program, and the remaining part of the evening is spent socially. This program given December 13. 191 E may be taken as typical of iho work done by the club: First Chapter of the Serial Story......................

Mr. Dryden The critic's report is a very important part of each program. An innovation, in the usual method of procedure, this year, has been in giving the duties of critics to student members. During the first semester Mr. Harry Dryden filled the office. His ready wit and never failing fund of stories made the report a very edifying and enter- taming feature. The opportunity, thus afforded to develop discrimination in regard to literary qualities is invaluable. One of the achievements, this year, has been the writ- ing of a serial story. This was begun early in the year, a new chapter being pre- sented at each meeting by a differnt member. This club has a membership of seventeen Prof. Porter has been an inspiration to the club at all times The officers for the first semester were George Ritchey ’12, President; Raymond E. Kirk '13. Vice President: Sadie llrown ’12. Secretary, and Harry N. Dryden ’ll, critic'. Eor the second semester these offices were filled by Fern Eads M2, Ethel Strasser ’13, Helen Woolwortli ’12 and Prof, Porter. t ENGLISH CLUB. Hult, Schott, F. Brown, Stryker Kirk, Deyke, Bur man.

Most assuredly 1 do. it seems but yesterday when we - four children stood at the kitchen window and watched for his return at night. Then as the familiar figure appeared around the corner we all hounded out to meet him. The first one to reach his side was sure of a ride home on his shoulder, while the rest of us must content ourselves by hanging on to bis one free hand or into one of his coat pockets. And then the evenings,—the best part of the day we thought. When father would gather up the two youngest on his lap and with the other two either seated on the floor at his feet or. with arms around his neck, stand at hi.s side while he told us stories of “When Papa was a little Boy 11 How we used to go over these stories during the day, to decide which ones we would ask him to re-tell that night. And then when bed-time came it was always father who undressed us and car- ried us up stairs one at a time. How often have 1 heard him say “Don't disturb moth- er. She is tired.” Then just before the light was turned out, it was father who knelt at our sides in front of the big bed and repeated with us—“Now I lay me down to s'ecp.” Then we were each tucked into our own bed, given a kiss, and with a “Good-night dears.” the light was turned out and we heard father go down stairs. And again I remember when father was brought home from his office and for days after, doctors came and we children were kept huddled up in the kitchen and told not ft make a bit of noise. At last a strange lady said father wished to see us. Entering Ids room we were one at a time lifted up to his bed. He kissed us and then in a falter- ing voice we caught the words, “Be good, Be good.” a —Written by Lena Merrill. ASP ASIANS OmrRRSoF First Skmkstkr. President—Selma 11 ult. I'reasurer—Mary (Jilibon.

This year lias been an imusualh successful one in the history of the Aspasian De- bating Society. At the beginning of the present school year there were but five of the former students in the sorivty. Thin fact however did not in the least discourage the five. They went to work with a will, and at the second meeting twenty-two new mem- bers were voted into the society. By the end of the first semester, the membership had reached fortv which is the limit set by the constitution. Many of the vital (|uestions of the finv have been discussed pro and enn at tile weekly meetings, and settled to the satisfaction of all. In fact the Aspasians have become so proficient in argumentation and oratory that four of the members. Marv Kirk, Matilda Peterson, Emma C row, and Alice Nicholas won places in the triangular debates. 'The great question that many are considering at the present time is: What are the five great events that have occurred during the year 1911 that have affected the most people, and have been of inter national interest? 'The t est authorities have de- cided upon the following: 1. Initiation of the Aspasians, 2. Joint meeting of Aspasians and Emanons for a moon light concert. 3.

Emanon Debating Society Since September 2l), l JU5, the Kmanon Debating Society has numbered among the enthusiastic organizations of the Kearney Normal, The success which ibis society has achieved has been due, not only to the ability and zeal of its members, but also in the valuable assistance of Professors Porter, Snod- grass and Anderson. The first man to occupy the executive chair was Wayne Chapman, Under his leadership and excellent executive ability the foundations were laid for one of the most benelieial societies of which our school boasts. It is open to all young men of the school, who desire practical and efficient train ing in any place of public speaking. (Questions of vital importance and interest to the country are discussed, ft • Practice of parliamentary drill is also extended to the members and to give variety to the program, literary numbers and subjects for extemporaneous work are interspersed. The methods and rules of debate are emphasized, but the greater stress is placed on ease and effectiveness of delivery, so necessary to efficient work along this line. As a result of the encouragement and assistance rendered by the Emanon Debat- ing Society enthusiastic debating squads have been organized to participate in the in- tercollegiate debates, Prom the first a great interest lias been manifested in these an- imal debates and we have often been surprised and pleased at the unsuspected talent brought to light through this agency. This Society opened its fifth year with E. W. Deyke occupying the executive chair. Under his natural leadership it grew and prospered until its members numbered thirty- six. it At the fall election of 1911, R, E. Kirk, the Webster of the Twentieth Century, was elected to fill the position of executive. Mr. Kirk, through his strong personality and enthusiastic work, greatly raised the standard of the society. A greater interest than heretofore manifested was now awakened among the mem- bers, and the effort made to make it one of the strongest societies of the school. Harry Magmison is the present executive. Under his energetic leadership and keen insight in debating questions the society will continue to gain in power and strength, giving its members training, which will be of great value to them after leav iitg school. Since its birth, six years ago, this society has established a record, which no other organization in the Kearney Stale Normal can surpass. It was the first society of any kind to be founded at our school, and we, its mem- bers, take great pride in the fact that it is not only the first, but one of the strongest and most efficient organizations of our beloved Alma Mater. Our Debaters and Debates The triangular debates between Peru Wayne and Kearney are over and out of the clearing mist emerges the Kearney State Normal floating the banner? of Blue and Hold with two victories and one defeat, as good a record as any one can boast of. The victory in this debate was a sweet one. Since the K, S. N. first had a de- bating team to represent it in debates wilh Peru it has not been able to humble her proud rival. However this year at Kearney under the magnificient and deadly rebut- tal bv Raymond K. Kirk, and the sound arguments and cool presentation of parts by Miss Emma Crow and Ralph Essert they trampled the Peruvians under foot in de- fense of the Initiative and Referendum. At Wayne the second squad consisting of Miss Mary Kirk, Edward Schott and A Chas. Stauhitz, did not fare as well, although each debater put up a winning and noble fight. Fhey carried the banner of the opponents of the Initiative and Refer- endum up to the gates of the enemy surmounting all obstacles, but they lost the day. Each of the debaters are ready and deliberate thinkers, having the ability to weigh the arguments of the opponents and to turn them into winning points. The third squad composed of Miss Matilda Peterson, Everett Randall and Grover Rost upheld the negative side of the same question in the only debate outside of the triangular debates, with the Grand Island Baptist College. The interesting thing about this debate, is that it was the only debate which was won by the negative side of the Initiative and Referendum question. Hu's speaks well for the K. S. N. as it shows good sound reasoning, hard work and a mastery of the question from both affirmative -A V..T.-1' and negative angles Morever the Grand Inland ( allege lias lost only few debates in the last five rears, having defeated stir 11 teams as represented bv M esleyan and Hast- ings. this speaks well for our team. It is needless to say that when a team can win from a strong squad as represented Grand Island, the individual debates must of necessity be good. For the success of this years debating. Prof. Porter comes in ior his share of gl try. He has spent hours of bard work training and coaching the debaters, weighing with unbiased mind the merits and demerits of the affirmative and negative arguments and helping each individual debater wherever and whenever possible. U it hunt Ids un- tiring energy, so great a success would not have been for K. S, N. The debaters were si 1 members of the debating societies of the school. It is with pride that the Kearney State Normal can boast of her debaters of this year and it is with equal pride that their splendid records and pleasing countenances can be remembered within the pages of the Hluv and Gold for 1912.

Since its organization it has made rapid progress, having at present eightv-two active- members. The club has a three-Odd purpose: practical drill in the direct use of the language, giving “das Sprachgeftihl to broaden the minds of the students through getting a better knowledge of the German people and their literature; and lastly to create a German atmosphere not only by preserving but also by promoting the German cus- toms and language—“dcutsche Sitten. dcutsche 1 rcu”—thus helping to make “die Fremade zur Heimat” in the German. I he club holds monthly meetings conducted entirely in the German language. At these meetings very interesting programs are rendered, consisting of German songs, levitations and short plays such as “Die zerbrachene Vase” and “Der beheste Spiegel.” Occasionally instead of the regualr program social meetings are held, at which “Kaffeu und Kaffeekuchen are served, German games are indulged in and general “dcutsche geselligkeit” prevails. Once during each year also the club gives an open program. In 1909 and 1910, “Der rote Knopf,” and ‘Der irrwar” were given respectively. During the year 1911-12 “Die ilochzeitsreise” and ‘T in Schatz furs Hans” were given with great success. President ..... V ice President Secretary .....

Eligibility to the Club requires that a student he taking some work in the Latin department, or any one may become an associate member who has credit with the reg- istrar for two years work in the subject. 1'hc dull lias had a large enrollment every year since its organization, and this year the membership lias exceeded the fifty mark. 1C very second Tuesday in each month is held sacred to the Latin club, at which time, programs of a literary, cultural and classical nature are given. Usually each program is in charge of some particular class; an arrangement which creates a great deal of good-natured rivalry to see which class can put on the most interesting pro- gram. Still lingering in our minds are the recollections of Roman banquets, a Roman wedding, a Roman funeral (a Latin composition and a Caesar text-hook serving as corpse.) the Vestal Virgins Pompeii's Ruins, and Caesar's 1 host, with other features of our programs, which will always bring pleasing memories of the Latin Club and the K. S. N. The greatest achievement of the Club this year was the staging of the drama “Dido, a Phoenician Queen,” under the direction of Miss Both well and Miss Gardner.

The play was a marvelous success, considered financially its well as in every other respect. The proceeds were used in purchasing suitable decorations for the Latin room. We point with pardonable pride to this room whose walls are now adorned with a splendid picture of the Roman Forum, a gift from one of the members of the dub—pictures of the Roman gods and goddesses, and others presenting various phases of Roman life, customs and mythology; views of Pompeii and surroundings, the beau- tiful motto, presented to the club by Prof. Stryker, the bust of Caesar, and the last acquirement, the magnificent scene of Cicero before the Roman senate denouncing Cataline. Surely it is almost unnecessary to state now the purpose of the Club, which is to bring Latin students into closer and better understanding of the Latin language and its people and thus increase their interest in the subject. And it is equally unnecessary to assert that under the inspiring leadership of the Head of the Latin Department, Miss Gertrude Gardner, the club is accomplishing this purpose and will continue to do so. Whoso thinketh that the Latin language is dead, let him come to Kearney, where he will find that it is by no means buried. si solids® J. D. Saunders, Mrs. Saunders. Fred Keens.

Local History Club This club began its career in May, I‘ 11. Though it cannot boast of brilliant sue cess during former years, it is now one of the most earnest and active organizations of Lite school. The idea of a history club was an outgrowth of the interest taken in collecting material on State History from the living witnesses—“The Old Pioneers.” This was a regular class exercise in the American History recitations. Its purpose is to arouse an interest in securing and preserving that historical n.a- teiial for Nebraska that will soon be beyond reach ; to rescue from oblivion the unwrit- ten stories of deeds of Nebraska pioneers; and to mark historic spots in the develop- ment of the state. The club also wishes to help the people of Nebraska to a greater appreciation of the sacrifices of those who have laid the foundation for the wealth and beauty of the state. 1'he members of the club are people who are now, or have been, students of the Normal and who are interested in this work, several members being out of school. Kach one learns what he can of the early history of some trail, locality, or event, carefully writes it up and sends it to the archivist. He catalogues this material with the name of the writer and an outline of what the article contains. These articles are published in the Antelope in order that all who desire to read them may have an opportunity to do so. Some very interesting material has been collected ; among which are anecdotes and stories of the good times and hardships of pioneer life, descriptions of trails, events and ranches of early days, the history of founding towns and cities, and the locating of county seats have been received. The first regular meeting of the (dub was held at the home of Prof. Anderson, Nov. 25. 191 I. The program was on “Ranches and Ranch l ife in the History � f Ne- braska.” Many entertaining and instructive facts and stories were given. 13 1_L JL hi the beginning of the club when the perplexities of organization arose, the sympathy and help of Prut, Anderson made success possible. 11 is inspiration as a teacher, and personality as a friend spurred the members on to make of the dub all that is possible. The development lias required the best efforts of her energetic citizens There is a broad field for labor in gathering and preserving the history of the progress of Nebraska through the achievements of these noble people. The activity of the mem- bers of the Normal Local History Club in carrying on their work assures a great future for the organization. OFFICERS. President—F. W. Peyke. Recorder—(Irover Rost.

I he idea was materilized and the Club came into being, having as its aim, the interpretation and presentation of high class drama. During the first year, with Miss (irate I lamer as critic, two plays were staged, the members of the ('lub, receiving much benefit and the spectators much enjoyment from their work. To Mrs. (Irace Steadman, who for the next two years was critic, tile Club owes much. She is a woman of the most inspiring personality, and untiring energy. With her excellent management, the Club staged two plays. In 1910 “Mr. Hob” was played to an enthusiastic audience, and the general opin- ion that the Dramatic' Club could “put on a pretty good show” was prevalent through- out the school. When during the year 191 I “The Kingdom of Heart’s Content” was staged, the fame of the Dramatic Club went abroad, and it was re [nested to present the play again for the benefit of the “Morris Brown (luards.” At both performances the au- diences were large and most enthusiastic. Now the dominant oninion, of not only the whole school, hut of the whole com- munity, was that the Dramatic Club could “put on an excellent play.” One member of the facultv. whose opinion and criticism is highly valued by every one. said: “The performance was of an excellence rarely seen among amateurs.” This year, owing to the division of the Departments of Music and elocution, Miss Both well became the Critic. Miss Ruth well is a graduate of the Drexell Con- Tin-: or ARRIS] servatory of Chicago, and was for two years instructor in that institution. She «ante to us in the fall, full of life aril vigor, and her heart i in her chosen work, from her talented guidance the ‘Iuh has had the best of progress. This year when the time cairn to decide upon a play, the Club decided to stage something a little more classical than heretofore. Ilu- Rivals” was decided upon, and the Club membership bent itself in bard practice. The result was a peformafice of credit, showing that their work has been going forward. DRAMA I IS 1 1 RS( IN K.

Our Kindergarten Our Kindergarten is one of those bright, cheerful, home like rooms that brings sunshine to a person’s face as soon as he enters it. With the piano, the cupboard of dishes, the case of picture hooks, and the many inspiring pictures, among which Froebel stands most prominent. Kerns enjoy the play of the sun’s rays passing in through the windows. The little red chairs are neatly arranged around the room, and upon the spotless floor are the children freely playing in that peaceful contented way,—perhaps with dolls, or it may he bouncing the ball or building with large blocks, and one is not aware of its being a school room until that over-faithful cuckoo clock greets tin chil- dren with its “How de do. Then they realize it is time to lay play things aside and take their places on their chairs with Folded hands. Soft music is played while they quietly Lake their places on the circle, where first of all they have a good morning game and a story. Then follow numerous kinds of skillful marches which have some guided purpose as Follow the leader; march lik_- soldiers; where commands are taught them. Rhythmic exercise are rf great benefit also, having much activity of grace and imitation, a few of our best being: Dancing brownies, living birds, galloping horses, walking dolls. Hutrptv Damply and “The Crooked Man. These are all guided by the piano alone which helps the child to cultivate that keen sense of observation and rhythm. Our games are of this same nature with bodily development. One can not realize how much is accomplished ?n so short a time with these un- developed bundles of humanity. The kindergarten is not the place for a child to begin work, but to guide his play carefully that he may have a foundation for work when he passes to the grades. Of the students who have worked in and enjoyed the Kindergarten much could he said. Two are teaching in California, five have kindergartens in Nebraska, seven have married and are putting kindergarten precepts into practice, one is a nurse in Chicago, and a number are teaching in other Mates. Those who are here this year are already feeling sad at the prospect of leaving, although anticipating the happy future before them. They hope some day they will come back and the cuckoo clock will sing for them, and Froebel smile at them and Miss Caldwell greet them—and the home coming will pay for the separation.

The enrollment of fifty manifests the interest taken in the work. The club meets weekly and aside front the pleasure derived from the work very helpful and valuable instruction is given. The music taken up is of the best quality and under such competent direction, as that given by Mrs. Steadman, is presented in the best and most pleasing manner. The Club is frequently called upon, and is pleased to sing for various entertain- ments anti for special occasions. Mendelssohn Glee Club The Mendelssohn Hoys Glee Club was organized in October. 191 I. under the di- rection of Mrs. Steadman. It consists of about thirty voices among which number is selected several excellent soloists and fine quartette. This clul) has been called upon to sing at different times during the year. Borne of the programs in which it has participated are “two minstrel shows at tlu Normal.” “Christmas Cantatta.” “1’ase 1-all Minstrel.” and “The Teachers’ Associa turn.” The Mendelssohn's are very clever and have always proven themselves equal to all occasions. The Nordicean and Mendelssohn Glee Clubs join for chorus work. Here also Mrs. Steadman most eminently directs the chorus which is accompanied by the Normal rchestra. Such cantatas as “'The Rose Maiden,” “The.Crusaders. and “ The Holy City.” have been given in previous years and the oratorio “Klijah” by Mendelssohn was given in 1911 as well as the oratorio “The Creation by Joseph Hayden that was given in 1912. The Normal feels highly honored in having such musical talent, and the work done, as well as the numbers rendered speak for themselves. ORCHESTRA.

Kaugemrom The Tegner Society The Tegner Society is the youngest organized society in the school and morever it is the only organization of its kind in any Nebraska college outside the State Uni- versity and Wahoo. A few of the Swedish students conceived the idea of establishing a club of this sort shortly after the Christinas holidays from the fact that there were so many Swedish folk in the Normal. Alter consulting most of the Swedes it was decided to call a meeting ol all the Swedes. inis meeting was held in the first part of February. About tinny people attended and a great deal of enthusiasm was shown which was a good omen lor the success of the undertaking. Nothing could he done at this meet- ing other than to get the sentiments oi the people in regard to a society of tins kind and tu appoint a committee to draw up a constitution. I his committee consisted of Miss Salgren, Messrs. Olsen and Rost. At a later meeting the Swedish people decided to invite their next door neighbors —the Danes and Norwegians—to join the society making it Scandinavian society in- stead of a Swedish society alone. At the same meeting the constitution was adopted. 1'wo meetings a moinh were provided for: the second and the fourth Tuesday ot every month. Two meetings were to be strictly literary and the third meeting literary and social, to be held on Saturday evenings. At this meeting the society was given its name—The Tegner Society. Tile society is named after Tegner, the foremost Swedish writer and author of his time, w hose works have never been excelled. The first meting of the legners was held March 16, in the V. W. C. A. rest rooms. According to the wishes of the society it was a literary and a social meeting. A large number of students were out and a most successful meeting was held. The people present were reminded of home and other Swedish gatherings, by the refresh- ments, “kafTee och dopp.” This organization, it is hoped, w ill live and grow and become a permanent society in the Kearney Normal; it has all the cultural and educational values that any other club or society has and besides it cultivates a love for the mother tongue. In the Kearney Normal many Scandinavians are taking a prominent part. Miss Selma Hull is the assistant in the physics laboratory and was president of the Aspasians last semester; Harry Magnuson is the Kditor-in-Chief of the “Blue and Gold” as well as the president of the Filiations; and Guy Burman is the Editor of The Antelope. Besides these the Scandinavians are represented in the debating teams, and various societies. Much credit is due to Mr. Olsen for the establishment of this organization,—he is the mainspring. To Miss Salgren as faculty adviser much credit i.s also due for boosting the project. Much credit is due Harry Magnuson, for he has labored un- ceasingly for the good and success of the society. Grover Rost and Guy Burman come in for a large share of praise also. 'The officers of the Tegner Society are Harry Magnuson, President; Grover Rost, Vice President; Mabel Martin, Secretary; Ferdinand Cederberg, 'Treasurer. The Culture Club I bis club was organized by Mrs Brindley in nineteen hundred eight, for the pur- pose of developing higher ideals and a love for all things good and true, useful and beautiful. The meetings are held each Thursday evening in the spacious reception room of irecti Terrace Hall and the membership consists of all girls making their home with- in the old Dorm.” walls. The programs consist chiefly of addresses given by mem- bers of the faculty who discuss such topics ar Art, Poetry, Music, T ravel, Hygiene, Manners and Customs. Kacli year the girls provide one or more programs of some unique character. The girls of nineteen twelve have surpassed all previous efforts in this respect. Kach year the members of the club have presented a beautiful gift as a memorial to the Hall. The officers of nineteen hundred eleven and twelve are as follows: President, Maude Rees: Vice President, Mrs. Brindley; Secretary. Miss Sadie Brown. DORM YKLL.

The Juanita Girls In the month of September in the year of 191U. a little band of Indian maids, al- most footsore from a day’s journey over the prairies, built their campfire on the banks «if the sparkling waters of Lake Kearney. The evening meal then refreshed them and as the moon rose and lingered on the waters, a song, hummed at lirst by one. rose in a crescendo as each tongue took up the soft melody. Soft, o’er the fountain. LEngVing falls the southern moon; Far o’er the mountain. Breaks the day too soon! In thy dark eyes’ splendor, Where tile warm light loves to dwell. Weary looks yet tender, Speaks their fond farewell. Nita Jaunita! ll Ask thy soul if we should part! Nita Jaunita! Lean thou on my heart. As the song died away and while the embers of the campfire were still glowing, they pledged themselves in bonds of faithful allegiance, myriad stars acting as wit- nesses.
