N. at the time when everyone, who has learned to love and honor the name of his Alma Mater, is looking back with just pride upon her untarnished career, its Board of Editors presents to you this hook. In printing this book it has been their desire to picture the events of one happy year spent under her domain. It is hoped that the apparent and numerous Haws will he overlooked, and that the darker passages and spots of the year will be overshadowed by the more happy and shining occasions of mirth and happiness. Furthermore, if through this volume of the Blue and Cold the ties of love and duty, which bind us to our Alma Mater are strengthened, we very gladly announce all tokens of praise, knowing that our dreams have come true, and that this book does not exist in vain. 5 Co OEeorge 2Z icb, IpresiDent of our institution, a iltUottbp exponent of ©Duration, toe respeetfullp DeOi- cate tbis ooluine. 7 Mr George Stuart Dick, B DL, B S , Ph B President.

The first half was closely contested hut in the second our class- men easily romped away from their opponents and won by the score of IS to 6. The next night the Freshmen dared to oppose. But it is not meet for us to gaze longer on this scene Captain Kssert. as his part in the awful work, threw seven field goals, The score was the most lop-sided of the series, Seniors 36, Freshmen 6. The last game was Napoleon Essert’s Waterloo. The Junior team, made up of a bunch of basket shooters piled up a three to one score on our bunch of husky guards. The score book put it in cold figures 25 to ft. Our Senior girls played only one game and that was with the Juniors. The first half was a ten to ten tie. During the last half in spite of the ex- cellent work of Captain Smith and her team males an unruly Junior could not he quieted until she had thrown enough goals to win the game for her team by a score of 20 to 14.

Randolph Classmates From Over the Seas Among the beautiful wooded hills and crags of the German Rhine Province one □f our class came into this world on September 5, 1889 Until the age of fifteen he attended school and not being satisfied with a landlubber’s life he “started out to rove. He went to Rotterdam and searched weary days before he found a place on the sailing ship, Voorburg. bound for Savannah, upon arriving at that place he showed his dis- satisfaction with the Voorburg by striking into the country. Hut he was soon back and on his way to Pugwash, Nova Scotia, oil another ship. He now determined to see some of the country and so spent three months in that way about eastern Canada. Then securing a place in Halifax lie shipped for New York where lie again left his vessel and then went to Philadelphia. Hut there no life like that on the roving sea, so in a few months we again find him sailing over the ocean now bound for far-off China via Java, After a visit to Amoy and Hong Kong the vessel was loaded for Philadelphia, 'Three weeks later he started on an eventful second trip to Java. Angier Point was first visited. This city had lost thousands of people when Krakatoa. only a few miles distant, had virtual!} exploded. Hatavia, Samarang and Surrahaya were next visited. At the last place the terrible vellow fever held our friend down for three months in the oppressive heat of the rainy season. His ship had ballasted and was ready to sail wlu-n he had recovered. With only a very limited supply of provisions on hoard they set out for Australia. Hut for weeks they were becalmed while trying to work their way through the Thousand Islands, so it was seventy-four days before they reached Newcastle. New South Wales, so badly starved that the crew was discharged. After a visit to Sydney our classmate sailed on a Norwegian bark, forty-two years old, and held together by its “rust. bound for Callao. Peru. A couple of months of hardship ensued. On the second day out they lost all sails in a violent storm. The butter was not up to specifications, if we may accept the Judgment of the courts in Callao, so there, many of the crew secured their release. Our voyager went to Lima and there witnessed a roaring Independence day celc bration. Now advised against going to the mines up in the Andes he secured a rail- road position. Hut his German tongue soon got him into trouble so he returned to the sea now as second mate on an English ship. This vessel loaded in the Galapagos Islands and then started for London. While rounding the stormy Horn he saw one of the grandest sights that mortals are ever fortunate enough to behold. Enormous ice bergs towered into the air about them. For three foggy weeks they sailed through the ice fields, continuing on toward London, where they arrived on December 2b, 19(H). What more natural now than a visit to one’s old home? So our classmate thought. He hoped to surprise his relatives on New Year’s Day but drift ice on the Weser and fogs in the North sea delayed his arrival at Bremen until the evening of that day. From here he took the train to his native hills and woods three hundred and fifty miles away. For three months he had a royal time among his friends. Then he again set out oil his travels. 66 At Rotterdam much to his disgust he was forced to take a place on a steamship. I his vessel visited Cardiff, Wales, before steaming past the world's greatest fortress into the quiet Mediterranean. From Alexandria he took a short trip to Cairo. After visiting Port Said and Suez his vessel passed the vine-clad, hilly Aegean islands on the way to Constantinople. Constantinople from a distance flashed in all the glory of its gilded minarets hut on loser view the dirtv crooked streets with their hundreds of dogs presented nothing o I easing. Several Black Sea ports—Odessa. Kershon, Novrasisk—were touched at before the trip bark to Hamburg. As boatswain on another steamer he visited Penarth, England, Venice, Naples and the Turkish capital, before loading wheat at St. Nicolai destined for Rotterdam. Shipping seemed dull in this Dutch port and also in the world's largest city so he went to Cardiff. Just for the novelty of it he went on a coasting schooner to southern Ire land. Being mate lve allowed himself short excursions into County Cork which he ?n joyed very much. At Liverpool again after a short trip to Bristol he shipped for Australia via the Canarv Islands, Thev started on December 7, and reached Cape Town on the first dav of the year 1907. Thev steamed to seven of the important ports of Australia. Now across the broad broad Parifie. around the Horn and up to the cities nf Buenos yres and Montevideo, thev steamed. After a short stay here thev set out for London, touching at the Canarv Islands on the wav. The globe had been circumnavigated in Ws than six months. Our classmate secured a place on the S. S. Cymric bound for Boston from’Liverpool. After a round trip from Boston he determined to quit the sea. But the panic of 1907 sent him on a four-topmast schooner to Gulf Port. Tampico, and the Cuban ports of Havana. Sargua and La Grande. Tn November. 1907. he left the sea. If we had been in Philadelphia among other things we might have found him acting as a baker that winter. In the spring he -irurk into the interior to stop at Minden. Nebraska. Here he worked for some people while attending TuVh school who have over since taken a parental interest in him. Tn the fall of 1911 he registered at K. S, N. He took a prominent place in the school that year. However, the wanderlust again got the best of him and he went to the west coast. He wandered about from ritv to city, seeing the sights in Portland. San Fran- -isro, Los Angeles and Beattie. Tn the fall of 1912 he worked at Port Ludlow. The following summer and winter ho continued his college work in the ITniversitv of Wash- ington. Then he returned to K. S. N. to graduate as one of the class of 1915. t t t If von. Mv de r reader, would have the divine gift of the Muses, the love of the beautiful, the fire of the orator, the soul of the poet, vou should choose for vour birth plat e the little town of Soon Chun in far off Korea. For it was here that another member of our senior class first opened his eves to greet the rosy dawn. Soon Chun is about one hundred and fifty miles South of Seoul, the Capital Citv The climate there is very much like that of Nebraska, onlv there are no tornadoes and blizzards. The rugged mountains and the beautiful river near the home of our class mate make it an ideal place for a boy of romantic imagination. His father had studied to be a lawyer and had served his province in the capacity of attorney-gcncral for a number of years. But the inrush of twentieth century com 67 merrialism made him give up his profession and plunge into the game of money-mak- ing. He was ambitious for his two boys and gave them every advantage a bov ot Korea could have. He hired a special tutor for them. Besides the tours which they were permitted to take under the guidance of their tutor, for educational purposes, they were compelled to study seven days in the week and twelve months in the year. The curriculum consisted largely of the Confucian philosophy and ethics, classical literature and history. At the age of fourteen, with these words of his father ringing in his ears. “Learn everything that the foreigner knows, hut never imitate or follow him,” our Korean boy went away to College. In ibis new environment he met many of the great men of his own country as well as foreigners. Among the latter were wealthy American mer- chants who gave him the impression that in the United States, the streets were paved with gold and that it was a land of perfect happiness; where ignorance and selfishness were totally unknown. All of this made him desirous of going to their country, to shape his ideals after theirs, and to look at the world from the:r point of view. 'T he desire received Impetus from the political situation in the Far East at this time. Phe Russo-Japanese war had iiwt tvgiin. The thinkers nf Korea predicted that japan, if victorious, would allow no Korean youth to receive his education abroad, as the event proved. After deciding definitely in his own mind to go abroad, our voung Korean secured the sanction of his paren’s. Being raised in a wealthy home he had had every comfort and luxury that heart could wish. Hr had never known of such a thing as manual labor. There had been hut the two children in the family and lw was the hahv. Now he was planning to go to the opposite side of the globe without even the care of the friend and he knew that it would he a struggle to win the consent of his parents. Carefully preparing his arguments, he left school and went to Ping ang. a flourishing commercial ritv. where his father was in business. After several long dav«? nr arguing his father finally yielded, giving his consent mdv on tlv mnditinn that he first gain his mother's permission. Hastening home he laid tlm case Ivfnro his mother more forcefully than before. But not until lie had used the cruel argument, that the venture was necessary for his own development and future welfare, was he able to silence his mothers pleadings, and within twenty-four hours our Hero ready to start across the Pacific. When he finally landed on the shore of America he had hut one desire, and that was for an education. But how to m t iP Where to lv«nn? There vs� onlv ope pjaoe. at the bottom. So ho entered the � rrade schools. He was unable to «peak one work of English hut with rapid promotion he was able to fiiv'sh in three v � ars. Then entering flic Kearney High school, he Graduated from that institution m three' years with valedictory honors. From them 1m ram � to the Kearney Normal reviving h;s diploma last January. Such briefly, is the life of our Korean rlassmate. But probably even more strik- ing than his change of home, country and frHnds. has been his rlianw of ideals, and the shifting of his viewpoint from Oriental to Occidental, To rpinte his own words; “ Tv ideas and ideals have been reconstructed and readjusted. T am an American, not bv birth or naturalization, hut in Spirit. T think as an American and look at tilings from the American point of view. T nspim to he a worthy Vr of all tlm a'ms’ in mv work of harvesting and disseminating the Twentieth Century civilization. T wish to be a man thinking, so that I may l e a man serving.” 68 Senior Conference Arnold a serious and sober young man, Sure helps all in school that he can. Hut down the hall this echo we've heard, “I’m peeved all over, don't tell me a word.” H. is for Birklebach so big and so strong, His love is for Domi. Sci., football and song. In announcements in Chapel he always excels, And we see him tjuite often with all the “school belles.” C. is for Chung so wise and so meek. Came from Korea, some knowledge to seek. In classes and drama he sure is some class. Hut in reading “The Novel,” I’m afraid he’ll not pass. Krma a bashful and shy little maid, Never was known to make a good grade, Smiling at hoys was out of her line, Vet the name Nelson she will not long sign. 11. is for Hansen we'd have you to know, hor grouches and jokes he sure is a show, He likes all the girls yet strange to say, Ne’er one or another will answer liim-yeal Clayburn, “dear Bennie,” with your clarinet, Can you play that “Tipperary yet? When in tile library you see some one one Hin, Don't stop to guess,—ft is just Hill ICssert, Or maybe girl’s eyes you see roll around, Then it is Sodergren or I’ll he bound. John Moreland— As good as a funny book when with the crowd. He easily walks with his head in a cloud. There was a small girl, Evelyn, Whatever she started she won; In Child Study one day. She heard someone say, “By the size you can’t tell what they’ve dune.” She deals in music and real estate. Her ambitions are all very high, She sings do-re-mi like a chick a dee. And for More-land often doth sigh. 69 1915 Randolph— Tht world loves a lover so they say, And they love a foot hall hero too. But of the two in K. S. N. We'd all take Jess wouldn’t you? Lueile Wilraot— A friend of Caesar’s and Cicero’s, Amo, amas, amat. She’ll make folks in the future, wish That Caesar had been shot. 11 eleu Anderson— A musician, writer and artist. And always at toasts she does score, A friend at all times is Helen, And will be forever-more. Flossie Paulin— Flossie, Polly, Paulin or Floss, One and all four she was named, Perhaps by her walk or perhaps by her talk. But we know in Dorn. Sei. she is famed. Nelle Bloodgood— W hat would we do without our Nell, Rushing to class for the eight o’clock bell? W hat would she do without people to look After her precious lost pocket book. Jeff is the one that we all know. By his hairy chin which pleased him so. But when he led the yells of the class Most all you heard was his Coatee’s Ba-a-a's. Kffie and Nell have a way. Of never trying to shirk. If you want a thing done. Why say! “Let the Cold Dust Twins do the Work.” When the Peruvians sent here their team, Everyone thot it the best game they’d seen, And Moor for the basket ball game now did enter, Said he to the girls: “Don’t you like our new center?” But Jeff at once said with a terrible frown, “They saw the yell leader bring the gym down.” 7U QEJiSS eearp CnUuforD. The Junior (’lass first it� k its place in Kearney Normal in the fall of 1912. At that time Miss Crawford was chosen as its adviser. During the three years that have passed she lias been a faithful friend and helper. The members know that their success us a class is due largely to her assistance. Miss Crawford has ever held a worthy ideal before them and guided their efforts toward reaching it.

As we turn the pages of history we find that it was in September of Nineteen Hundred Twelve that we as Freshmen took our stand at the Kearney Normal. The officers of this class were as follows: President, Albert Victor. Vice President, Mabel Kern. Secretary. Vera Carlson. Treasurer, Gretchen Easterling Sergeant-at-arms. Donald Green. Yell LeadeT. Robert Jeffrey. Class Adviser, Miss Mary Crawford. 104 Our class has been especially fortunate in having such a wide awake member of the faculty for our adviser. Under her leadership this class will go down in history as a record breaker and will mark a goal for following classes. Our freshman yell leader, Robert Jeffrey, will never be forgotten. He led us with vim, and developed in the class the spirit of never-give-up. School events came and went. The following autumn tile Freshmen were the exalted Sophomores with high ambitions and expectations ui great ness. Many good things came to us as Sophomores, not only in entertain- ments but also in hikes over the 1 til Is and early breakfasts at the lake. This year Green and Jeffrey had taken their stand among the Juniors, having enough credits to jump the Sophomore year. Both held prominent places in their adopted class. Miss Easterling also became a Junior in 1913. Dur- ing the Sophomore year the following officers guided our fortunes: President, Elmer E. Scott. Vice President, Phillip Pi. Person, Secretary, Vera Cummings. Treasurer, Mildred Dickson. Sergeant at arms, Rearnor Swift. Though not very many of the Sophomores are left, this plucky bunch has become the jolly juniors. We have no cares nor worries lor the goal is in sight anti we are turning toward the home Stretch of the Senior ear. Our first stunt will never he forgotten by the members of the class nor by some of the Seniors, This was the Hard Time Social with its taffy and popcorn, and its ragged clothes The Valentine party given by Miss Crawford marks another memorable event of the class. Nor will we forget the days when we assembled in the Junior observa- tion room, or the evenings Spent in preparation for the morrow's Junior English lesson. We must mention also the good old yells and cheers, which we gave to our Junior boys, while they were practicing and making good on our famous Foot Ball team. The yells which st� often proved good in Chapel, ringing clearly above all the others.—these have gone down into the history of our class. The Juniors, we are proud to say. have loyally stood together and have the spirit of cooperation in every sense of the word.

D., the basket ball team of class 16 started on its brilliant career, which ended in an unpre- cedented blaze of glory. The result of this was the selection of the entire Junior team to uphold the honor of the K. S. N. in combat with the outer world. The first was with our friends the Freshmen, who after putting up a game fight succumbed very honorably with the short end of a 26-11 score. On Friday evening, the 18th. we met the ally of our enemy, the Sophomores. Again our opponents went down to defeat in a one-sided game, clinging to the small end of 27-9 tally. In the last half we played a line-up of substitutes, who acquitted themselves in a creditable manner. On Monday evening, the 21st, in the presence of a large crowd of mourners, com- posed mainly of Seniors and Sophomores (and their sweethearts) we proceeded with much neatness and great dispatch to mop the floor, dust the bleachers, and otherwise clean the building with our friends the Seniors, much to Ihc delight of the enthusiastic crowd of Juniors and Freshmen assembled. Again finding our opponents harmless we were able to put in a line-up of substitutes, and thus give every one a hand in the grand final cleanup, in which everyone seemed to be willing to help. Much grief and consternation was caused among the gloomy supporters of our opponent, when in the first minute of action, the superiority of our team, both as in- dividuals and in team work, became evident. The score for the first half was 13-3 with the Juniors on top. The second half started with grim determination showing on the face of our en- emy, but this was soon routed by the apparent unconcern with which our boys played, and the reckless and marvelous accuracy shown in shooting the leather pellet through the doughnut. At the end of the first five minutes of the second half it was apparent that the Juniors had the world. Seniors and all. safely enveloped within the folds of the maroon. After the dust of combat had cleared away the Senior team was found clinging with the death grip to the frazzled small end of a 25-8 score, and hiding amongst the mourners while their sympathizers marched silently and slowly past to view the re- mains, to the distant strain of “Jolly Juniors. The Junior squad was composed of Cleary, Forsyth. (iunderson. Keil. Kring, Rich, Robb, Shields (Captain), Stutheit, Swift, ( Wareham, and R. Wareham. of whom Keil, Rich. Robb, Shields and R. Wareham were most instrumental in bringing home the bacon. Here ends the history of the most illustrious and brilliant team which ever repre- sented a class in the history of the school. 110 112 BIRDS’S-EYE VIEW. 03i9s Dicks Miss Catherine I licks has been sponsor of the Class of 1917 since it was organizerl in the autumn of 191.$, Miss Hicks, bv her quiet and modest manner as well as hy her enter tabling faculties, has won the favor and appreciation of all the members of the class. She has a pleasant smile for all she meets, but especially so for any one of the jolly Sophomores, ’Tis beauty that doth oft make women proud, ’Tis virtue that does make them most admired. ’Tts modestv that makes them seem divine. History of the Class 1917 Class MoMm—“We seek I he highest and the purest of ideals.” Class Colors—Orange and Black. Cla« Flower—Black-eyed Susan. History, as we all know, means an account of events and of all the important in- cidents during a certain period of time. In order to be a success and live to posterity, history hum he interesting as well as accurate. Other monitors of the school may think the history of the Class of ’17 of little importance and lees interest, hut il is our purpose to show them where they are mistaken. First- It is very necessary that the Freshmen have a good example set them; and how. except thru an accurate chronicle of OUR movements, will they he able to secure such an example? Second—It is more than necessary that the Juniors should have worthy successors and the only reliable way to establish our undisputed claim to this position is by means of this record. As history always begins with the earliest happenings we will take up first our entrance into the K. S. N. Farly in the fall of I Old about seventy enthusiastic young students met in Mrs. Steadman's room to organize a Freshman Class. Of course this was not the first class ever organized, hut its distinguishing marks were a superabundant supply of pep and enthusiasm and its unprecedented size. Mr. Balcoin was elected President; Miss Stiegdnvicr, Vice President; Miss Kelly. Treasurer. After the election was disposed of the « lass turned its energy to wards I arniug to yell. And it learned. A week or two later the «'lass held another very important meeting, the purpose of which was to choose a class adviser. The faculty was collectively and individually dic« u sed aMd after much debating the choice fell upon Miss Hicks. Our | reserre in chapel was especially noticeable. Vea! even to such an extent that we were forced to exchange seats with our upper classmen in order to appease the covetous feeling which they cherished towards our position in the chapel. The social sdc of life was not entirely neglected during our first year. It is safe to say that the most original, most entertaining, and all round good time parties and spreads were given by the Freshman class. And such eats! Everything from crackers and water to chocolate and pumpkin pie. September of 1914 brought us together again. Although several new members were added to our ranks, it was with great sorrow that we noted the absence of many of the old faces. Soon after the opening f school the Sophomores met to organize a class. Mr. Watts presided as chairman. File following officers were chosen for the year: Ralph l ewis. President; Ben Anderson. Secretary; Virgil Chase. Treasurer; Cary Dressier. Sergeant-at-arms; David Sorensen, Class Reporter; Waid Balcom, Veil Deader. Mr. Lewis has proven himself a very dignified and efficient president and all of the other officers have executed their duties with credit to themselves and to the class. A committee was appointed to select suitable yells for the class. Considering the limited time allotted them for the selections, we think the results highly to their credit, yet with more time what might not their fertile minds have devised? If we have not made ourselves heard quite so often in Chapel as our seniors, it is not because of any lack of spirit or courage. Rather, our silence has been due to a belief that “In peace there’s nothing so becomes a class as quiet dignity and earnestness.” 115 The first class party, which was a distinct success, look place one moonlight eve- ning in September at Lake Kearney. Several serious accidents occurred on that eve ning. The first was the mysterious disappearance of two of the masculine members of the party which caused considerable grief and disappointment, especially among some of the “fair ones.” While gathering fuel for the camp fire one little boy fell into a big. big hole, and only his imperative calls for help saved him from n horrible and untimely end. Weenies were roasted over a roaring campfire while hair raising ghost stories were related. Hut these produced such a panic among the younger and more timid members that it was necessary for us to return to the protection and safety of our homes at a very early hour. At the second class meeting a change of class colors was decided upon. After numerous combinations were suggested. Black and Orange were chosen. In December the boys royally entertained the girls of the class at a formal party. Miss O’Connell acted as sponsor, in the absence of Miss Hicks, and proved a delightful addition to the party. Several important discoveries were made during this evening, A famous tenor in the person of Walter Herring entertained us with a beautiful se- lection. In after years we will proclaim proudly on all occasions, “Yes. indeed, he was a member of the Class of '17. A gifted fortune teller who was present disclosed the fact that all of the hoys were fickle and faithless flirts. Nevertheless we hope that these unmanly traits will lie outgrown in time. At the beginning of the basket hall season, hoys’ Lind girls teams were organized Hilliard Cameron was elected Captain of the hoys’ team: Mabel Miller, of the girls’ In January. 19IS, Mr. Sorensen, the (lass reporter, joined the Junior class and Agnes Melin was elected to succeed him. The Sergeant at-arms, Mr. Dressier, also left us. “on leave of absence, but he expects to return for the next semester. Many new members came into the class at the beginning of the new semester and a few of our old members went over to the Juniors, To the new members we extend a hearty welcome, to the lost ones, a fond farewell. But as one of our firmest beliefs is “The Lord loveth a cheerful giver we have given cheerfully and have received cheerfully. In February the class celebrated the birthday of St. Valentine, The Valcntim idea was carried out in the decorations, games, and refreshments. That vott cannot always tell a poet bv his appearance was most certainly illustrated on this evening, for who would ever suspect the author of this? “There was a young lady named Miles, Who often got lost in the aisles. She sat by a girl who had never a curl. And now she is thinking of styles, Or who is the love lorn poet who here so eloquently speaks? My days have all been drear Since T hear that von must leave. 11 Mv days have all been drear. For I’ve loved you every day Since T met von o’er the way.” We can sav certainly that love prompted the following: “Getting up early, sitting up late. That is what made Wiest’s whiskers straight.” We shall soon he in the midst of examinations and are looking forward to an wn more profitable and enfovahle career as Juniors in 191 fi, “When we look into Hv long avenue of the future and se the good there is For each one of us to do, we realize after all what a beautiful thing it is to work, and to live and be happy.” 116 Quotations Adapted to the Sophomores k Ralph Lewis— It is not good for man to live alone.” Virgil Chase—“Ob where, oh where, has my little heart gone?” Mildred Glade— I just can't make my eyes behave.

That vve should speak a word or two in praise, Of our loyally and brightness, of our strength and courage loo, I hat have helped to give us many pleasant days. And a word uf commendation for our leader brave and true, W ith his verses and their funny little rhyme.

To the Sophomores growing wiser all the time. 1 19 Sophomore Basket Ball Squad The ('lass of 17 was hard pressed fur basket ball material but never the less they made an excellent showing. Hilliard Cameron was elected captain, and they started out to establish a record to be remembered throughout the history of the school. Front the first loot of the referee’s whistle they were lighting and never let up until the last, no matter how far their opponents led th in. They were fast and aggressive, everyone always showing up best at the last, when they were better than a fresh bunch of men. Irving Danly, unfortunately, was not present when the picture was taken, but nevertheless he deserves his place at Center. He has played two years with this class and is a marvel. He is about “umptie stesn” feet tall and no center has been known lo take the ball from Uanly. At shooting baskets, he is equally good, fur all that is necessary for him to walk under the basket and drop the ball in. Ralph Lewis, commonly called “I.ewe,” our little forward, play.'d a remark able game from start to finish. This is Ids second year in the class and he was on the floor in 1914. “I.ewe” was never bested, and although he played against giants, none of them were too much for him. He was good at shooting baskets, and when he got the ball nothing but the referee's whistle could make him drop it. Gradie Turner, who comes from Hayes Center, downed the leit guard garden. Cradle showed his ability to guard in the Senior game when he took « are of the biggest men in the school. He was the main stay of the ( lass when a strong arm stum was needed to remove some of the 1 e-f of the opopsing team. Cradle was equally good at shooting baskets. Hilliard Cameron, capiain of the team A” is a hard headed Canuck.” His middle name is 'Fight.' He is big. fast, and aggressive, and is also a good basket shooter. He can always hold his own with the best of them. He hailed originally from Spalding As all Spalding men are base ball players, he is, too, and a Cracker Jack at that. He captained the team last year when we roped the class of “Sweet Sixteen1’ to the tune of ten to two. Lincoln Milbotirn. known as Link,” is from Ehmreek. and played for two years on the H. S. teams of that city. Link is a whirlwind at right guard and showed him- self worthy of his position, being an artist at guarding and shooting baskets. Walter Herring, the speedy right forward of the squad, is from Kearney, and Fish,” as lie is bed known, deserved his position because he was all over the Hour at once. He showed great abiliiy in dribbling and in shooting baskets, being the mainstay of the team. He used his head in pinches, worked hard from the start, and was never seen to lie down when ali hope seemed useless. Paul Dale comes from Cushing and showed lus ability ai R. Guard in shooting baskets and in guarding. He is not so large but Oh. My! Dale can handle mm twice his size. He is fast on bis feel and keeps Ins opponents in hot water all the time.

The history of the Freshman Class ft r the year of 1914-1915 is probably the most famous ever known in the history of the Kearney State Normal. At the beginning of the year President Pick announced that all freshmen should assemble somewhere in a quiet room and organize a class. Accordingly on Ortober 4, 1914. we assembled and made Frank Walker the pilot to steer us safely through the storms of our Freshman year. Miss Phebc Melin was elected vice president and Miss Faye Warner, secretary and treasurer. We are proud to say that we have progressed satisfactorily under the leaders hi]) of these officers. Later Prof. Mercer was selected for us as our sponsor and we are proud to own him as a class adviser. Me has taken active interest in every meeting and been one of us at all our parties and has also con- ducted our affairs in the mosi efficient manner. On October 20 we held another meeting and appointed the other officers which «ere needed to encourage progress for the year. We found that we needed a class reporter to dictate to the public our happenings and events of each week. For this we found none more able than Miss Kva Oakley. We next appointed an editor and business manager lor the Annual. From our number we selected . H, Heagney as editor and Arthur Adams as business manager. We then thought we were well equipped for the year but later we learned that the other classes had a yell leader and likewise we must have one, Gradie Turner was elected for that position. Now we thought that we were next best to the Seniors, when along about November 30. Turner found that leading yells was somewhat monotonous and resigned Ins position In- saying that he was a full-fledged Sophomore and therefore abandoned our class and joined the Sophs. Since then wc have not been able to secure a yell leader and consequently have not done much barking at chapel time. Choosing our class colors was a difficult task and to facilitate matters we ap- pointed a committee to select them. Through their careful judgment Purple and Old Gold were selected, and we believe these the only suitable colors for such a remarkable class. Two class parties were held during the year. Wc assembled one fine moonlight evening and wended our way to the old “haunted house.” There a merry time was 125 had and wr enjoyed a bounteous feast of sandwiches, '‘wienies ' and other delirious Tilings. l ater we held another party at lh Normal, where a fine program was pre- pared and rendered by different n embers of the class. President Pick and Professor Men er gave some very humor� us recitations. After the program a palatable menu was served and a Hash light picture was taken by Mr. Cluing. As to our class debate we cannot ray as yet how we shall succeed. There were i'bout right freshmen win took an ac‘ive interest in the preliminary debate and from these an energetic team has been eh sen for tin final. The team chosen consists of Miss Gertrude Bedford, Mr. Rolan Bool and Mr, Urn. II. Mcaguey. with Miss I velyn Cummings as alternate. I’he � |liestinn lor debate is; Resolved. I hal every city in Nebraska having more than twenty five hundred inhabitants should adi-pt the commission form of city- gnv- i rnment. We hope U do as welt in tins debate as we have done in the other school activities. 126 FRESHMAN CLASS PARTY. FRESHMAN CLASS. History of Freshman Basket Ball Team As it lias been customary in the history of the school for the Freshman classes to It - represented in the Athletics, we thought it a wise plan to establish ourselves on an equal basis with former Freshman classes, V e called a meeting in which we decided that the girls and hoys take an active interest in basket ball and also resolved to practice every evening until the games were played. Frank Walker was elected bv the class as captain of the bo vs' team and Eva Oakley was made captain of the girl ’ team. Then from our number came girls and boys who thought they knew bow to play basket ball. The girls’ team has no! practiced much and consequently lias not played any games up to this time, but we hear that the Sophs haven’t enough players to make a team, and we feel sure that they will lie somewhat handicapped in this way the Freshen may lie successful in winning against them. In our friendly clash with the juniors we were beaten by a score of 28 to 9 which was due to bard luck and lack of skill. In our game with the Seniors we were also defeated, but in our final clash with the Sophomores we proved ourselves superior to them in strength and accuracy. We won from them by one point, the score being five lo four. This was a hard fought game and many spectators on the side tines thought it resembled a foot ball game. Even though we were accused of making line plunges, we trust that next year we may know more about the game. As we advance we will allow no class to trample over us or misguide us in llv S', boo] activities, for, “we as a class,” now show ourselves to he the most important factor in school. 128 History of the Commercial Class Our Commercial Course, covering a period of two years above the twelfth grade nigh school, is one of the most complete business courses of the middle west. It is the function of the department to prepare teachers for commercial depart- ments in high schools, and in other institutions where commercial branches are taught as well as for office work. In order to broaden the knowledge of the graduate and make him more efficient when he has completed the course, many subjects, not strictly commercial, are required. Students who have completed the two-year course, receive a department diploma from the school, and may enter the Senior year of the higher course and complete the same m one year. Since the coming of Prof. B. II. Patterson in 1910 as head of the department, interest and enthusiasm lias steadily increased, and the enrollment has gone far beyond expectations. The school does not insure ii graduates a position on completing the course, hut renders every possible service in securing positions for them. The Commercial Class is always well represented in all athletic and social or- ganizations of the school. This year four Commercials won fame on the gridiron and one of them was captain of the team. The captain for next year, Mr. t'has. Heider, is also a member of this department. In Basket Ball the representation was about the same and in track and base ball the number often exceeds this. Many who have left school are now occupying good positions. A few are: Otto Thygeson, Century Savings Bank. Des Moines. Iowa; Emmet Kberly. Switz Paint and I Mass Co., Kearney. Nebr.: John Shields. Asst. Cashier, Brady, Nebr.; William Green, Central Nat’l hank, Lincoln. Nebr.: Etta Temple. Cashier Kearney Steam Laundry; Clyde Simpson Creamery Co.. Twin Falls. Idaho; Judith Norberg, Kearney Outfitting Co.: Jenn Brown, Farmers State Bank. Kearney, Nebr,; Marion Hull, Copy-shop. Kearney; Mrs. A. Scoutt. Secretary to Supt. R. E. Cochran, and Asst. Stenographer in the office of the Kearney State Normal: Miss Armstrong. H. B. Sammis Co., Kearney. Nebr.; Floyd Ross, Stenographer at Kearney Flour Mills; Carl Peterson. Central National Bank. Kearney, Nebr.; and many others could be mentioned. 131 The “Blue and Gold” Staff (Portrait Plate on Page 132.) (1) WILLIAM L. BIRKELBACH. Editor in Chief. (2) ROBERT E. JEFFREY, Business Manager.

Athletic Board of Control The Athletic Board of Control is an organization composed of live members of the faculty, including the coach, and one representative of the student body. The purpose and duty of the Hoard is to schedule games, make arrangements for all athletic events, and in general Mand sponsor for the athletics in the school. At the beginning of the year the Board was reorganized. The officers elected were C. H. Wellers, A. J. Mercer, and C. K. Benson as president, treasurer and secretary, respectively. The other members are Coach H. R. Tollefsen. B. H. Patterson and Charles Wareham, The year has been a busy successful one. A constitution has been made and adopted and a complete record of the proceedings has been kept on file. The members of the Board are all men with a deep friendly interest in ath- letics. They have silently and effectually done their faithful work in a way tending to the continuation of the high standard ever maintained in athletics by the Kearney State Normal. 138 COACH TOLLEFSEN. Harry Tollefsen is just as pleasant as he looks. Few coaches were more friendly or show- ed a friendlier interest in their charges. ’’Tolly” encouraged by commendation rather than the usual negative means. He was one of the hardest hitting backs K. II. S. ever had. He spent sev- eral seasons on that squad and Iasi year a highly successful year as their coach. This year at the Normal he produced a team that came within six points of second place. CAPTAIN WAREHAM. (K) Charles W a reham was captain of the team this year. Those who elected him made no mis- take in trusting the leadership to him. 11 is for- mer three years with us made him a valuable adviser. His record and his work were such as to inspire confidence. “Chick” was a marvel at finding holes through the line and could hard- ly he denied a good gain. He was a punter of great ability. He was speedy and a hard sure tackier. Weight 150 pounds. Handsome. 139 JESS RANDOLPH. (K) Jess Randolph was the only one of our men to get a berth on the all-state team. Jess earned the place. He had a terrible habit of breaking through the line and finishing plays before they got started. As for the others getting through him that was out of the question. Jess not only took care of his own place but his active brain and three years of experience with us directed his efforts at other points to great advantage. We will miss our center next year. Weight 180 pounds. “The old 'pep boys.” WILLIAM RANDOLPH. (K) William Randolph needs no introduction to followers of the game at Kearney. This young Kearney agriculturist spent three year- battling on the gridiron for the Normal prior to this year and was always one of the strong men. He came back this year in the best of condition prepared to make a record but Providence de- creed that it should be otherwise. During the first half of the initial game '“Bill” was put out, due to a fractured leg. The Athletic Board did the right thing when they voted him a letter. Weight 175 pounds. Buckshot 140 WILLIAM BIRKELBACH, (K) “Where there's a will there’s a way,” If one Will breaks a walking-stick another Will will turn up to take his place. So it seemed to the students when William Uirkelbarh came in just after Randolph’s injury at Creighton, Hill was no stranger. He had been m the squad of I‘Ml so they knew they were getting something good. “Dutch11 filled right tackle to the finest advantage throughout the reniaindrr of the sea- son. Moral: Brains and weight make a good foot ball combination. Weight 200 pounds. “65 around, boys, CHARLES HEIDER. (K) Charles Heider, the unanimous choice of his teammates for next year’s captaincy, is very well liked by the men. For three years he has been one of our most valuable men. Always cheerful and confident himself he kept the spirit of the team at a high level. Opposing teams found it well to avoid that part of the line where this silent 'Teuton was wont to work. “Dutch was the one who made those long perfect for- ward passes. We are glad we have such a cap- tain, Weight 175 pounds. Prefers a blonde. 141 DON CAMERON (K) Don Cameron served a two years appren- ticeship with us before ibis season, lie is one of those men who can play well either in the back- field or in the line. He held flown a place as right end this year with credit to himself and to the team. Doc was responsible for some good gains off forward passes. We expect him hack next year with all the old “pep” to cheer the men through the season. Weight 160 pounds. Loquacious. EDWARD SHIELDS. (K) Edward Shields came to us from Kearney High school to show us how to catch forward passes. He was an adept at this art without a peer in the conference. He was also a good man for his position at the left end of the line by virtue of his power both on the offense and on the defense, lie is universally known at “lJat“ and has the characteristics becoming the name. Weight 155 pounds. One continual smile. 142 LESLIE RICH. (K) The foot ball squad was indebted to sur- rounding high schools for some of the best ma- terini this year, Gothenburg sent us a good man in the person of Leslie Rich. Les” proved to be a speed-king. Hastings is still talking of bis wonderful run there. He also had a very gener- ous supply of foot ball knowledge that helped to make him a very valuable halfback. Rich will be back next year after new laurels. Weight 150 pounds. Weekly visitor In Gothenburg- why? HENRY ROBB. (K) Henry Robb is one of our most promising players. No man was more consistent in bis placing than “Jack ' Through nut this year, his first with us, he showed a steady improvement that prophesies a great season next year. “Jack” was out every night working Ins hardest. When he got into the game he worked with the same earnestness ami made an enviable record for both offensive and defensive work. He played right half. Weight 160 pounds. Her name is Pearl. 143 WILLIAM ESSERT. (K) William Kssert, a utility man of the pre- ceding two years, was shifted from the backfield this year in a permanent place in the line next to center. Mere he specialized in stopping the enemy’s plays in a very efficient manner. He's quite a husky lad and though lie may look solemn enough here he is one of the folliest fellows you ever met. Weight 170 pounds. Transitory lover. WILSON MOOR. Unison Moor had played no foot ball until last year when he became a member of our second team. Moor showed good form in his work at guard and aLo a fine spirit of cooperation during the entire season. Though he did not win a place on the regular team, he, with others of the utility squad, deserves much credit bn the help they gave the regulars through their efforts in scrimmage work. Weight 155 pounds. Go. to it. bovs. ’ —C. II. W. 144 GEORGE CLEARY. (K) George Cleary came to us tin’s year from Kearney high school. “Bud” is Irish. That probably accounts for his good humor. He filled the position of guard creditably in most of the games of t he season in spite of the I act that a heavier man is usualis associated with that po- sition. George will 1 e right there next year. Weight 155 pounds. Gentleman Bud.” EDWARD GREEN. (K) Kdward Green made his debut as a foot ball player this fall. He entered the game with an energy and earnestness which gained a place for him as a regular on the squad. He played guard throughout the first game. He had the neces- sary strength and weight and did fine work. An- other season’s polishing would have made this husky German a line man hard to beat. Weight 175 pounds. Pugnacious. 145 ROSS WAREHAM. (K) Ross Warehatn has won his letter in font ball both years he has been with us. This year he monopolized the signal harking department. Rosey made an excellent record for carrying the ball. 11 is end runs were some of the best ground-gainers on the list. He showed excep- tional skill in making short forward passes. Weight I 50 pounds. A natty beau. LINUS WORK. I.inus Work arrived in Kearney ibis year. Ik hails from Callaway and thence the name by which he was known to the stjuad. He charged the enemy right gallantly from guard when oc- casion demanded his presence in the tine, ‘'Cal- laway” contributed muc h toward the jollity of foot ball gatherings. W eight 160 pounds. An orator. RAYMOND KEIL. Raymond Keil had no foot ball inclinations last year but jumped into the game zealously last fall. His basket ball experience stood him in good stead in handling the ball. He acted as utility end. As such he was unfortunate iu that no opportunity occurred for him to get into the game for any length of time. W eight 140 pounds. Sees the funny side. Football With the opening of school rhe foot ball men began to assemble. A large number of the old men reported and the surrounding high schools sent in some fine material. The prospects for a winning team were favorable. Coach Van Buren, who had done so much for Kearney athletics, while here, was succeeded by Harry Tollefsen. After a few weeks of practice the squad set out for Omaha to meet the Creighton University team. High hopes they had, but sad disillusionment. During the first half Jay Davies and “Bill Randolph had to leave the game, due to injuries. Neither ap- peared in uniform again throughout the season. Jay accepted a position at the In- dustrial School and “Bill was seen on the side-lines on crutches at each of the suc- ceeding games. With these two veterans out the beefy Creighton aggregation had its own way. At the end of the first quarter they had made only one touchdown but the game ended 54 to 0. But let us go to a pleasanter country. Come back to Kearney and a week later watch our boys battle in the first conference game of the season. The Central City Quakers came down with the idea of giving K. S. N. a “run for its money, We got plenty of running but carried the ball along with us. Thus it was that a new record was set for our gridiron—87 to 0. And now the scene changes. Out over the western prairies and then through the Colorado beet fields to stop at the frown of the snow-capped Rockies in the Mile High City our warriors went. Denver University hauled a carload of beef out to Union Park the next afternoon and proceeded to use this Juggernaut on the Nebraskans. Though the victims strove valiantly against fate and at one time came within two feet of the line they were run over nine times. For the eighth time they watched the pig- skin float over their heads above the bar before the whistle ended their awful plight. The game was rough and the officials were incompetent. In spite of this the boys emerged practically unscathed. Many of the team availed themselves of the opportunity to see Denver and some of the boys went out into the mountains. The next week's narrative is different. We were again at home. A bunch of husky, good-natured looking preachers came down from York. The Antelopes paid little heed to their exhortations and ran their own perverse wav in spite of the most earnest efforts of their devoted visitors to prevent them. Yea, their pleadings went un- heeded to such a degree that it seemed a new record would be established, but remorse stricken, the Blue and Gold stopped its sinful scoring machine. Two weeks later when the faculty was in Omaha and a majority of the students were home telling about life “at college the Wesleyan Coyotes came howling into the Normal athletic field. Few voices were there to protest against the awful carnage. Johnson proved to be the worst of the pack. The game had hardly started when he caught an unsuspecting forward pass and scored. A few minutes later he scored again on a recovered Kearney fumble. Later be captured a forward pass of ours and ran eighty yards for a touchdown. Our only touchdown was made in the second half by a series of forward passes, line plunges, and end runs. Wesleyan did the remainder of the scoring. Peru received the greatest reception in the history of the school the next week. A parade le grande was staged. It reached from the Midway Hotel almost to the Normal, Peru’s fine band led the procession. Following it was an auto truck with the two teams, a string of automobiles, our bunch of music makers, “Peru after the 147 1915 a m n RK2 1913 game. the on-marching students with pennants and banners flying, and last but not least. “Peru's goat.1’ The game that afternoon was the best of the season. 'I’lie teams were about as evenly matched as two teams could be. Peru’s team was irresistibly working its way toward the goal when the whistle blew giving us the victory 21 to 13. A reception at the Normal for the visitors that night completed the Peru program. A special train was pressed into service the following week. The team, band and a bunch of loyal rooters boarded it for Hastings. Hansen field was the scene of a hard battle that afternoon but we lost the chance to go down in history as worthy of second place among the eleven schools in the conference. We went home that night trying to be thankful for the fact that Hastings won by the single touchdown only. Thus ended the season. But the best possible sevjuel was the excellent banquet served the Athletic Board and the squad by Coach Tollefsen. All enjoyed the sump- tuous feed, the toasts and the hospitable welcome. All in all the season may be considered a successful one although we did rank in fifth place by comparative scores. But Hastings had defeated us by so small a margin in beating us out of second place that it can be very readily seen that these first division teams were very evenly matched. « Prospects for foot ball next year are good. Many of the old men will be back and the high school men already promised are among the strongest in the state. Tennis Association The tennis organization is the most recently formed in k. S. N. athletics It came into being last May and now bids fair to assume an important place in our ath- letic activities. At the beginning of this year it came under the supervision of the Ath- letic Board of Control and elected the following officers: Chas H. Wellers, president; Leslie Rich, vice president; and Donald Green, secretary-treasurer. Three fine courts have already been prepared just east of the gymnasium and the construction of several more is contemplated. As a part of school athletics, games in tennis wilt be scheduled regularly. Wc may expect a fine showing from this growing aggressive organization. 148 THE TENNIS CLUB. Basket Ball The basket ball season was ushered in with the first class game on December 17th. The girls team played but one scheduled game and that with the Kearney high school. They enjoyed this healthful exercise throughout the season in practice and interclass games. The boys had a schedule of nine college games. The season opened with a three- game trip that proved disastrous, In other words the boys made it three straight. Two of our men were badly crippled on this trip and could not get into all the games. In fact the whole team was badly used up. The Grand Island game at Kearney did nut raise our percentage. Our team met with better success on the two-game trip taken the next week. At Central City the boys had a walk away and the following night were defeated at Grand island by only three points. The next two games were lost on the home floor. In the latter many new faces were in the lineup. This reconstructed team had trouble in getting started hut after the first ten minutes held its opponent even. The Cotner game at home failed to materialize because of the record breaking snow storm that visited Nebraska while they were making their trip. BASKET BALI. RECORD, 1915.

It lias made its appearance every week during the school year since December J, 1910. Emm a humble beginning the Antelope has grown until, now. cur school can be justly proud of her weekly publication. In its infancy the t Antelope met many difficulties, it was by no means an elaborate sheet. Vet it never lost sight of its purpose: to represent all the forces which are at work in our school family—the forces in which we. as a family are directly interested ; to observe tin- progress the school is making, to observe the pan the student body is taking in that progress and to create and preserve a true school spirit. Its held is not limited in the school body. It seeks to interest the large body of Kearney Normal alumni and former students and to strengthen the fraternal ties which bind them to “ The Dear Old Normal. It also reaches out to a large number of high schools and higher institutions of learning throughout the United States. It is always glad to exchange ideas with other school papers. The Antelope is run on a businesslike basis. Its existence depends in part upon the financial aid derived from the sale of advertising space, and therefore the students of the Normal are especially urged to patronize our advertisers. The Editors and Business Managers who have contributed much to the improve- ment of the Antelope, and who have used their best endeavors to make this paper a power for Kearney Normal's welfare are: Lester Chadderdon, Editor, 1910-11.

The Alumni Association The Alumni Association of tin Kearney State Normal was organized on May 28, 1906, with seventeen active members. The number of Alumni now reaches over six hundred. Hath year a “Home Coming” day is held and many alumni come back and relate their experiences since leaving school, refresh their memories of the good times they had while attending K. S. N.. and work up new enthusiasm for the blue and Cold. Alumni Day was featured fur the first time last year during commencement week. Representatives from every class were in attendance, and plans were laid whereby Alumni Day will be a regular pari of Commencement week he real ter. The officers of the Association are: President, Karl l.antz. Kearney; Secretary. Carrie K. hudden, Kearney; Treasurer l.ydie Salgren, Dumont. Willow hake. South Dakota. 155 CHAPEL TIME. ALUMNI PICTURE. domestic science department Whenever I think of this Association of Christian young men, 1 wonder that it has not already turned the world upside down. I wonder not that it has done so much, for it has done a great deal but that it has done so little; and ! can only imagine that ii has not yet got its pace. 1 wish 1 could believe, and 1 do believe, that at seventy it is just reaching its majority, and that from this time on a dream greater than that ticorge Williams ever dreamed will be realized in the great accumulating momentum i f Christian men throughout the world. What I am hoping for is that these seventy years have just been running start, and that now there will be a great rush of Christian principles upon the strongholds of evil and of wrong in this world 1 President Wilson at Pittsburg. That we have at Kearney State Normal an organization which is a part of that world wide Association of Christian Young Men. having for its aim a contact with every man of every land is indeed a fact tieserving pride. Early in the history of the school the young men saw their need of affiliation with the Y. M, C. A. In January 1906, E. J. ftimonds, then assistant state secretary, started the Association movement at the K, S, N. The membership at first was only eighteen and the men were inexperienced in the work but without these first labors the Y. M. C, A. in this institution would be without history or influence. The Association is yet voutig in years and experience but its progress is steady and sure. The membership this year reaches seventy. The aim of the work is to meet every man on the level and help him in every possible wav. This is accomplished through various activities of the Association such as meeting new students at the trains and finding suitable accommodation, aiding them in their choice of friends, offering them employment, helping them to affiliate with the church and Bible Study classes, and in many other ways exemplifying the spirit of Christ in service. Every effort is made to promote a homelike feeling for new students by such tilings as the annual watermelon feed, when ripe, juicy ones are split on the Normal green. The open reception in the Normal building under the direction of both Asso- ciations is a large factor in advancing school spirit and friendships. Best of ail, perhaps, for creating a loyalty to the Y. M. C. A. is the membership banquet given to all members. Only one lias been held but its success assures the place of the banquet as an annual event. We were fortunate in having Mr. Simonds. the state secretary, present at the first banquet. The weekly devotional meetings are an important part of the Association work. An effort is made to secure outside speakers when possible. Or. Fordyce of the State University filled one date, lecturing on A Young Man’s Problem.’1 The Bible Study classes are held in the various churches where large groups of young men meet regu- larly tinder capable leaders. The best and newest courses, such as Studies in the Fife 159 of Jesus Christ,” “The Will of God and a Man’s Life-Work.” and “Students’ Standards of Action” are used. This year no Mission study groups have been conducted. Last year “The Decisive Hour in Christian Missions,” and “The C hallenge of the Country,” had large enrollment. A new field of activity was entered this year. In the fall a Gospel Team was organized and during the last week of the Christmas vacation a team of seven young men faced the odds of inexperience at Lexington. 'They went trembling but determined in some way to show to others the Christ life as they see it. The result of their efforts was manifest in the decision of a dozen boys, who took a stand for Christian living, and in the gratitude of the people as they earnestly grasped the hands of the team members at the last meeting. A new branch of Association work which has done a great deal to help the young men and to command their attention was introduced last fall. The Employment bureau has placed many who want work in positions that help them materially in meeting expenses. Especially at the opening of school was there a large demand for employment and a good supply of work. The Bureau secures permanent positions for many and endeavors to have a supply of odd jobs ready for those who have an occasional hour that they wish to use in this way. Our Association endeavors to remain true to its purpose—the development of spirit, mind and body. Last year an unsuccessful attempt was made to organize a V. M. C. A. gymnasium team. This year in February an organization was completed and named “The V. M. C. A. Olympics.” Under the direction of Otto Olsen, who has had two years’ experience with the Ling system of calisthenics, the work has progressed with excellent results. It is quite certain that it will continue and each spring an entertainment of floor and apparatus work will be presented. Not without great value as a source of inspiration and information are the various conferences and conventions of the V. M. C. A. Our Association has been well repre- sented at such gatherings. Last year nine young men with Professor Porter attended the State Convention at York. This year a joint Y. M. ('. A. and Y. VV. C. A. con- ference was held at Hastings. An extra car was necessary to carry the fifty persons who took advantage of this opportunity. We have been fortunate in having several delegates during the past years at the Rocky Mountain Student Conference which was held at Estes Park. Colorado, in June of each year. To attend one of these summer conferences which has leaders in Y. M. C. A. work from the world over is something that a college man will never forget. It has been said by some that their best times at K. H. N. come on the day of “Cabinet Hikes.” A couple of times each year the cabinets of the Y. W. and V. M. C. A. take a journey together to some one of the pleasant spots around Kearney and spend a day. or part of one, and say, they surely have a “picnic.” The cabinet chosen for the year 1915-1916 is as follows: Officers—President, Jay Person: Vice President, James L. Rich; Secretary, Carl Melin; Treasurer. Hans C. Olsen. Committee Chairmen—Devotional. Allvrt Johntm: Bible and Gospel Learn. Milford Forsyth; Membership. Henry M. Robb; Social.

November 12. 1872. six young ladies met in a student’s room for the purpose of prayer. The day was dark and drear and a homesick feeling pervaded the meeting. This was where the Student Young Women’s Christian Association first saw light, but it occupied other quarters ere it was christened. The prayer meeting having increased in attendance and helpfulness far beyond all expectation, it was thought advisable to form a permanent or- ganization, that other young college women might in years to come find in the meeting that which should strengthen, build up. and encourage them in their Christian lives. It is hard to live the Christian girl's life alone, so the organization thrived; and as it is hard for one association to go on alone, national and world organizations have been scattered over the globe. So today we are not praying and working alone in this work of bringing young women to know Jesus Christ as Lord, but are five hundred thousand strong. The work of our association is carried on by seven committees, the chairmen of which, with the president and secretary, make up the cabinet. The membership committee has done very efficient work, especially in carrying out the membership campaign. As a result the association consists of one hundred and eighty members, including the active and associated workers among the students and faculty. Ladies of the town who arc in- terested in the work help us in many ways and join as honorary members. The Bible Study committee placed a uniform text for Normal classes m seven of the leading Sunday schools. One hundred and thirty-five girls are enrolled. Prof. Anderson conducts a credit Bible class in the Normal. 'The Missionary committee is responsible for the dissemination of mis- sionary knowledge among the girls. A number of devotional meetings are led by this committee and they keep us informed about our representative in China, Miss Ruth Paxson. We pledge fifty dollars a year toward her support, also twenty dollars yearly to the Community Club of Kearney. 1915 Our Social Service work was l egun in April of last year. Though the work was unprecedented in this school, this committee has clone many kind acts in helping those in and outside the school. We all know what the social committee can do. They are responsible for our receptions, parties and teas, and for the friendly spirit so noticeable, especially at the first of the year. The Intercollegiate committee has tasks many and varied. Its aim is to keep the local association in touch with other student associations and with the state, national and world’s work. This policy is carried out under four heads: (1) Correspondence, (2) Publications, o) Library, (4) In- formation. The work of the Finance committee lias gone by leaps and bounds. Dues were collected, pennants and calendars sold, returns gatheied from confer- ence loans. and the Krist Markt pushed thru to success. Thirteen hundred dollars have passed thru the treasurer’s hands this year and the budget for next year is four hundred and fifty dollars. The Devotional committee has most important and responsible du’ies. They plan all the weekly meetings and as a result the programs have been very interesting and helpful. Many of these are led by students and fre- quently special speakers are secured to address us. ADVISORY BOARD. The Advisory Board consists of seven faculty ladies, each on? being special adviser for some one committee. They all give the greatest interest and help in all association movements. During the year many social functions are given. In the first week of school the Y. M. and Y. W, C. A s join in giving a welcoming reception to the school. The first membership banquet was held last fall and because of its success will become an annual affair. This year has witnessed another successful event, that of the first Krist Markt. In the early part of Decem- ber the whole association with the help of the school and the ladies of the town united efforts in arranging for a large sale of Christmas articles. The results were far beyond any expectation, and the efforts proved well worth while. Other functions such as informal teas, picnics and parties are observed. One of the most enjoyable of these was the Colonial Costume party in February. Upon assuming their duties, the new Cabinet is given a Cabinet Training by the outgoing members. Here they receive a broader conception of the association work, and the special duties of the committees. This ends in a jolly supper. 164 Last spring under the leadership of the social committee the annual May Supper was given. We are especially thankful to the ladies of the town for their help in this function. In the spring the Cabinets of the two associations joined in having a picnic. This proved such a merry “hike” last spring that we repeated it in the fall. • ' i Njt In conferences and conventions in this territory, Kearney is well repre- sented. Flossie Paulin, Nolle Me Bee. Pearl Warner, Nelle Bloodgood and Eleanor Stallard went to Estes Park last summer. Mabel Yensen, Grace Stenberg and Hattie Ostrand attended the Student Volunteer Convention at Kansas City. Ruth Himhilwood and Eleanor Stallard went to Des Moines last spring. Hester Huffy, Frances Miles, Nelle Bloodgood, Dortha Smith and Harriet Knutzen attended the Lincoln Conference last fall, while a delegation of sixteen girls went to Hastings this spring for the State Con- vention. Words cannot tell what an inspiration the girls received from these gatherings and they brought back to us an invaluable vision. The Rest Room is the pride of the association. Its doors swung open at all hours of the day and every girl is welcome to its quiet and rest. Its windows look out on a long wide street. One has to go “up” to find this quiet spot in the busy building but when she goes down again to waiting duties, she goes w ith a quiet heart and mind, feeling strong for her moments of rest and solitude “up above.” Dr. Adams has said that in the complexity of organization and amidst the varied duties laid upon us as Christian workers, we are in danger of losing the heart-beat of the whole work—the passion for the individual. Oh, that God would show us how to win girls to Him more effectively and that there may go out from this organization many of us who are determined to put personal service first in our lives.

The leaders in Christian thought have long fell the necessity of providing a supplementary education in the Holy Scriptures and the teachings of the church. The Catholic Students’ Club was organized in the early history of the Normal. The growth from year to year in numbers and efficiency has been marked. At present we have a strong membership of enthusiastic young men and women. Following the tirst successful organization of a Catholic students club by the students of the Univer- sity of California in 1899, many other similar organizations have been effected in the leading Universities of the country. These clubs have formed a national organization known as the Catholic Students’ Association of America, with which the local club became affiliated in 1914. Mrs. C. W, Mooch was the delegate to the National con- vention held at Champaign, Illinois last November. Meetings of the Club arc held regularly on Thursday evening of each week. The plans for the present year have provided for an extensive course in Bible Study which has been most ably conducted by Rev, Henry Mueiistermann of Kearney, Since the Rt. Reverend Bishop James A. Duffy took up his residence in Kearney in 1913. he has taken an active interest in the work of the dub and has given us many inspiring and instructive talks. Several enjoyable social meetings have been held during the year at the homes of resident members. OFFICERS OF CATHOLIC CLUB. First Semester Edith Wilson .......... Gertrude O'Brien ......

Shields 171 Early in the year nineteen hundred ten some farseemg members of the short-story class, having more than a class room interest in English, made this suggestion: “Let us organize an English Club. It would lie a stimulation to all students of English and especially to those of us who are interested in original composition, but who are no longer connected with the short-story course. 'There is danger of becoming rustv when we haven’t any means of keeping up the polish. It was on a later occasion that a couple of ardent instructors and some zealous students laid the plans which resulted in the formation of what is called The English Club. Earnout Stephens served as the first president. Miss Lenore Fitzgerald was vice president, and Miss Mabel l uke acted as secretary. Professor Porter was chosen critic. The present officers are: President, Florence Woolworlh ; Vice President, Helen Anderson; Secretary, Ferdinand Cederburg: Archivist, Otto Olsen: Adviser and Director of Criticism. Miss Mary Crawford. The purpose of the Club is to produce interest in original literary achievement. The kind and quality of work being done shows that the plan is being carried out. The club has devoted itself to various kinds of literary effort. Stories differing widely in purpose and in content hold the interest as we gaze into a fireplace or gather around a library table. Sketches often based oil the writer’s experience are given a place. Verse making is attempted with promising results. Essays and book reviews are often a part of an evening’s program. Even the writing of composite plays has been given attention. A noticeable and very desirable characteristic of the work is the originality of theme and of treatment. The standard is so high that everyone feels that his best is the least he can give. Naturally, work of merit is never lacking. 'The value of the club lies in encouraging not only original effort in composition but also in criticism. Everyone enters freely into the discussions following a program, when the authors are placed upon the stand to defend their productions. Criticism is rot always altogether favorable, although the good points are by no means ignored. Nebraska’s atmosphere has permeated many of the programs, especially in recent years. The breezy' prairies of our state furnish an abundance of raw material. The ceaseless wind and waving corn have quickened the breath of our poets; the snowy landscapes have inspired the pens of our essayists; incidents told by some white-haired 172 pioneer have brought before the closed eves of our story writers and dramatists brown prairies, bleaching bones, and galloping redskins. Realizing that poetry depends largely upon the inspiration of the moment the lub has made few requests for poetic production, but has maintained a box ready to receive anonymous contributions. At nearly every meeting some future Longfellow unob- served, has modestly submitted a heart throb. Of course after it has been read, everyone wonders who could compose so charmingly. Usually it is not long before a height- ening color bespeaks the author. The program committee employ every conceivable means of varying the program Sometimes each member is asked to respond to roll coll with an original limerick or perhaps a Mother Goose rhyme up-to-date. The responses are truly clever. English Club members are agreed that no other organization with which they are acquainted furnishes such an amount of genuine social enjoyment and at the same time a maximum of real benefit. Naturally the attendance is always complete. The club meets once a month anti is entertained by its members at their places of residence. Light refreshments are a I ways pleasing alter an evening of literary appreciation and endeavor. Membership in the club is elective. A committee is on the lookout for persons of literary inclination and interest. The roll has the signatures of fiftv-four persons, who are proud of their membership in the English Hub. Of these, twenty are now in school. Hie rule is Once an Englishman, always an Englishman 1 MEMBERSHIP ROM. OF ENGLISH CLUB. Helen Marie Anderson Erma Nelson Helen Boentje Otto C.

The Aspasian Debating Society was organized in November of 1906. and has been a prosperous organization since that time Its officers are elected for a semester, as also was the critic until this semester when Miss Crawford was elected permanent critic The aim is to give the young women of the school practice in debating, parlia- mentary law, and literary work, and in these things their eloquent namesake, Aspasia, would not deny their success. Although most of them do not aspire to advise a Pericles regarding the political affairs of Athens, yet in a few years these budding Aspasians will become leaders, able to solve the most intricate problems of state—such is their reputation as debaters. The work of this society is valuable in that its members learn the community spirit Not only do they become ready and logical thinkers, able and convincing speakers, but they become familiar with the issues of the day, and are stimulated in their desire to do their share of the world’s work. Thev learn how to conduct public meetings and to transact business which concerns the welfare of their city and state. Recognizing the fact that all work and no play is unwholesome, the society oc- casionally gives programs of a lighter nature. The annual Nonsense Debate, which is held about Thanksgiving time, affords an outlet for fun. Logic and sequence arc ruled out. and the spirit of merriment is abroad. Another event of the Aspasian vear is the banquet given in honor of the new members at the time of their initiation. This year’s party, which occurred January 22nd, will live in the memories of those attending when the present belongs to the distant past. Perhaps the most memorable feature was the storming of Emanon Castle (Professor Anderson’s recitation room) in orderly snake-dance-fashion. The Aspasians hold their meetings on Friday evenings, at 6:30, in Mrs Stead- man’s room Officers for the First Semester—President. Helen Anderson : Vice President. Nelle McBee; Secretary.

It is very much alive today. Since the time of ils first executive, W ayne Chapman, il has hacl its ups and downs.” We feel that it has now weathered the storms of all pioneer undertakings and has become a well established institution. I his year it has been especially success ful. It has held its meeting regularly m spite of the multitude of other attractions that have in the past led to frequent adjournments. Its programs have been carried out in the same manner with rarely a speaker absent. The debates have been prepared with care and each speaker has presented his part with the idea of correcting past mistakes and improving over any previous attempt. The society has worked like an efficient machine. A due amount of credit for this success must be given to the capable leadership ot the president for the first semes ter, Hans Olsen, who seems to hold that order is heaven’s first law” in all things; and the present incumbent, George Hansen, is continuing the same efficient degree of good work. For more thorough organization,, a new constitution has been drafted and its regu- lations more closely adhered to than in previous times. This being the third constitu- tional reconstruction since organization we feel that a fair degree of efficiency has now been attained in this line. Education is knowledge that you can make use ol. A vast amount of time and energy is spent in developing and refining the mind and then the thoughts “spoil like bates unopened to the sun for want of expression. Here with debating, impromptues. nptionals amt parliamentary drill, the members have attained a degree of useful proficiency under our able critic, Prof. Anderson, that will prove of inestimable value in years to come. A debating society will not be a success and continue t« live unless its members have a desire for that which the society may give and the perseverance to stick to the work in the face of obstacles. A long list of names of those that appear on the earlier records has already been heard from elsewhere. O. A. Sinkie has won distinction at the State University as an orator and actor. Anthony Easterling lias become an able reporter for the Omaha lire. Herbert Mark ward and |. E. Schott have graduated from the University with very Hal- tering records. Ernest Danly after graduating at the University entered the law profes- sion. Harry Dryden. Ralph Marrs and W. B. Ireland have made fine records in the pub- lic schools of Nebraska. Raymond Kirk, now in the University, made the “U” debat- ing squad ami helped bring victory to his school. Many others eouhl be mentioned who are winning distinction in various lines, and other distinguished members are still in the making at the Normal. They will be heard from later, and no doubt the Emanon Literary Society will have its share in helping them shape their fortunes. 1913 EMANON. EMANON. )mi KRS.

It now includes about seventy active members from the live Hashes in the German Department and other students especially interested in German. The purposes of the rluh are to heroine better acquainted with the German Inn pjuage and customs, to enter into the real spirit of German Hie, and to create a bond of fellowship among German students. With this aim in view, the monthly meetings are conducted entirely in German. A program is prepared for each consisting of “Deutsche Lieder.

President, Gladys Lee Tompkins; Secretary. Prank Walker; Treasurer, Sarah Leckey; Se rgean t - at - Arms, William Heaguey. For several years with Miss Gardner as sponsor, the Latin Club of the Kearney State Normal has been a most successful organization. The membership consists of students who are registered in the Latin Department and of others who are interested m work done by the Club. Meetings are held the Jir t Tuesday in each month. At these meetings Latin songs are sung and programs are given which consist of Latin games and talks on Roman life, customs, and manners. One program this year was made unique by the exhibi- tion of several Roman costumes. The illustrated lecture given by Miss Gardner on “Pompeii, and the illustrated talks by members of the Club on “Myths and Deities of the Romans. were exceedingly interesting and helpful. Latin plays are also some- times given. Every year the Latin Club has made a gift to the Latin department. One year the Club gave a bust of Caesar and in other years the gifts have been pictures, among which are “The Return of Proserpina,M “Castle of St. Angelo, and Cicero’s Oration Against Catiline. Thewe. together with other pictures and Latin mottoes, make the Latin room beautiful and attractive. The Latin Club is organized for the purpose of giving students a more intimate acquaintance with the lives and customs of the ancient Romans, knowledge which cannot be fully brought out in the class room. Thru; the Latin Club, the student is made to feel that the Romans really lived and carried on their affairs much as men do today. Resides this, there is the social side of the organization, which enables the members to become better acquainted with each other. W e are very grateful to Miss Tompkins, our president, for the delightful evening spent in her home, in the fall when many of the members were strangers. The effects of the I atin Club are far reaching. Students who have been mem- bers of the society and who are going out from this school to teach Latin, cannot but have a greater interest in their work because of the know ledge acquired at meetings of this Club. Greater enthusiasm will be instilled into the students under their instruc- tion. The Sodalitas Latina owes much to Miss Gardner, whose interest in thi work is an inspiration to all who come in contact with her. 182 r LATIN CLUB, HISTORY NAMES OF ARTICLES. 1.

In order to collect and preserve such data, anecdotes, and stories as are of importance, the idea of a History Club was evolved; and the Club or- ganized in May, 1911. The collections of material were to be made while in school and also after leaving. This work has proved a pleasure to the members, and much valuable material has been collected, which is in the hands of the archivist. The first regular meeting of the History Club was held at the home of Professor Anderson. November 25, 191 I. The program consisted of a dis- cussion of topics of Nebraska history and report of new material received. This program was typical of the work taken up until the present year. This year the Club has endeavored to broaden its view and purpose. At the beginning of this year it was decided that the Club should take up a study of the following subjects: American Historical Review, History Teachers’ Magazine. History of Nebraska, and the present situation in Europe. At each meeting, one report from the committee on each of the above named subjects is given, except the committee on the European situa- tion which gives two papers. Much interest and enthusiasm has been exhi- bited over the work. Reports from all committees have been very instructive and entertaining but the papers on the present situation in Europe have perhaps excited the most discussion. Each country involved has been studied carefully, going back to earliest history and tracing events up to the present day. Such a process makes the war appear the inevitable result of a long series of complications and events, not a terrible demon sprung up over night. The year’s work has been very enjoyable and instructive to club mem- bers. Oik Critic. Invaluable in literary work, is the art of keeping un the right track to arrive at our objective goal. This more than all else depends upon a good critic. In this we have been most fortunate in having the advice and guidance of Prof. Anderson. The organization is united in its appreciation of Prof. Anderson's quali- fications for the important relation he holds; as briefly summarized thus, his earnestness, experience, faithfulness and general ability. 186 HISTORY CLUB.

The Tegner Society is an organization of some thirty-five members, all of whom are of Scandinavian descent. I bis society was organized in 1912. and has met with marked success, for it has become recognized l� v the student body as an organization which ranks among the first in importance in the school. It has all the cultural and educational advantages that any other Huh or society has. and besides, it cultivates a love for the mother tongue. The Society is named “Tegiter” in memory of the great Sun dish poet. Tegner. who was so greatly admired by Longfellow. On the fourth Tuesday of each month, the Tegncrs meet and enjoy a literarv program. This helps to bring them in touch with the rich treasure of music and literature of the fatherland. To the Scandinavians. Christmas means much, and it is at this time that the Tegncrs aim to revive the scenes and customs of their mother country in the way of programs, games and refreshment . The society has advanced in several ways. 'Through the kindness of the librarian much reading material in the different Scandinavian languages has been added to the library, which helps to keep alive the interest in the mother tongue. Tegner is the first society to he admitted as a body into the American Scandin- avian Society.” It thus makes one link in the great chain formed bv the lovers of the homeland, in the United States. The Scandinavians are well represented on the debating teams and in other school activities; the president of the 'Tegner i the editor of the school paper. There exists in the society that spirit of pure sociability so characteristic of th Scandinavian people, and the idea of unity and centralization is one of the prominent features of the society.

Tt was organized in 1908 by Mrs, Brindley, and its membership includes all the girls making their home iu the Dorm- itory, The Club meets every Thursday evening in the reception room. The programs consist of addresses by members of the faculty and stunts” by the girls. This year the girls of the Dormitory furnished a room as a Hospital Room. We are glad that there have not been many occupants of this room, but it has proven a great con- venience.

Dramatic Club Never before has the Dramatic Club of Kearney Slate Normal attained such a high standard of efficiency as this year. The primary purpose of this club, as it was outlined at the beginning of the year by our adviser, Miss Abbott, is to create a higher appreciation of dramatic art. and to give its members practice and drill in coaching plays for public schools. The mem- bers of the club under the guidance of Miss Abbott have faithfully carried out its pur- pose to the fullest extent. The Club was first organized in the fall of 1908 under Miss Grace Mainer (now Mrs. Jacob Kaiizler of Seattle, Washington), who was succeeded by Mrs. Steadman. A few excellent amateur plays were staged under these two advisers. Then came Miss 'Eunice Botbwell, (now Mrs. Marshall McClure of Morris, Illinois), a graduate of the Drexcl Conservatory of Chicago. The club made marked progress under Miss Botliwell. I he senior plays of 191.? and 1914. which were presented under her supervision, well deserved the public ac- knowledgement as “the best ever staged by amateurs in this community.’' So great was her success, that goddess Cortona smiled on her. and sent Dan Cupid to reward her service. The members of the Dramatic Club deplored much the loss of Miss Botliwell. but they soon resumed their former zeal and enthusiasm over the work under their new sponsor, Miss Abbott, formerly of Peru Normal and Nebraska Wesleyan University. Those of us who intimately know Miss Abbott appreciate her not only as an able teacher, but also as an inspiration. Her calm simplicity and sincere devotion to the welfare of others make her universally hived by all her friends and acquaintances. She takes personal interest in the individual development of her pupils, and her sympathe- tic appreciation of their work inspires constancy and earnestness on their part. Her thorough knowledge of our ability has brought her to our level, and lias established a strong bond of mutual understanding and co-operation. It is this spirit of co-operative work and mutual helpfulness, as Miss Abbot puts it, which lias raised the standard «if the Dramatic Club, and has made our work one of the most attractive and interesting features of our school life. Every member of the Club has appeared in some public program—usually in monthly meetings when two «� r three short plays were staged. The success of these performances may be judged by the fact that, every time the Dramatic Club gave a program, the auditorium was packed to ‘“standing room long before the time of com- mencing. The two plays, “Hour Glass” and “Dorothy Vernon,” given during the spring were pronounced successes in every respect. It was the consensus of opinion among the local critics, that the students who took part in these plays appeared with very much the same ease, grace, and effectiveness as the professional actor. 196 DRAMATIC CLUB III. 198 DRAMATIC CLUB IV. 4 cnnr flic cirls the C of the Camp Tire Seek beauty Give service Pursue knowledge Be trustworthy Bold on to health Glorify work Be happy UNCAPAPR 199 CAMP FIRE COUNT On a frosty Mad Moon morning Twelve Wohelo maidens gathered, On the campus met together; Maidens with a love for ireedom, Love for beauty and for nature, in the open they would breakfast And the way was long and rugged. Rough with rocks and harvest stubble. Hut we maidens, anus well laden, With our “wienies. buns, and pic kles fared not if our path was rocky. Soon we had our camp lire blazing With the chips and branches gathered. And no banquet could taste better Than our simple camp fire breakfast. As the sun rose high and higher And our fire sank low and lower. Our forgotten duties called us. Though along our path vc loitered. Bittersweet was at its brightest And would make our rooms more c heery, Full of Nature's autumn gladness, I Thus twelve brave Wohelo maidens Had all felt the joy of living By this tramp into the “Wildwood, By this journey to the channel. Then upon a day soon after. Met the Uncapapa Council. Vaiwannah hade us gather. And we gathered in her wigwam; With the hand sign took our places. Took our places in the council. Lit we then the mystic candles Work, and Health, and Love, a candle. These our Wohelo fire-symbol, 'Teaching truths of life and beauty. Three new maidens joined our Camp Fire, Fern, and Belle, and Eleanor] Joined with high desire and motive. Joined for love of true Wohelo. “Foreign ’ dainties soon were served us. Baked red apples and sweet wafers. We may be true Indian maidens Yet we’re fond of “foreign” dainties. Talked we then of work and frolics. And our plans for future councils, fathered thus around our camp fire Sang the songs of Uncapapa, Sang our “Walking and our “Work songs Till our fire burned low and lower, Till our council time was over. 200 The Camp Fire Girls The National Camp Fire was organized in March. 1912, since which time more than 65,000 girls have been initiated. The one great purpose of the organization is to serve the community by carrying the Spirit of Home into all phases of community life, especially by bringing about a rich, whole- some. social life. Dr. Luther Culick. who has the best right to speak on this subject, says: “Camp Fire tiiris exist primarily to serve the commun- ity—all of it—by “applied personal affection,” by the power of sympathy, appreciation, affection, confidence. Those ('amp Fires whose primary aim is self-benefit can never reach any of the higher results at which we aim.” “ The organization is a great army of girls, not a mission to them. Hence the ranks should he recruited first from those who have ability to do and to help rather than from those who need help.” The slogan of this army is “Wohelo,” or Work, Health, Love. In order that the girls may be aide to render the best id' service to the community they must have just the preparation tile Camp Fire affords; power to organize the daily home life, and to interpret daily things in terms of poetry, symbolism, and color, changing drudgery into pleasure; the health and poise that come from right habits of living and from the out door spirit; a wholesome means of satisfying the natural craving for romance thru the ceremonies, costumes, and heads worn as trophies to show the number and kind of honors won: the needed variety thru the three hundred possible honors in Home Craft. Health Craft. Camp Craft. Nature Lore. Hand Craft, Business and Patriotism; the seriousness of purpose necessary to win these honors and the different ranks which are based upon personal attain- ments requiring faithful effort; the dignity of the council lire. All of which things go to the making of a womanly woman, fitted and eager to serve the home and the community. The Cncapapa Camp Fire was organized June 6, 1914. Of the twenty charter members: the following took the rank of Wood Gatherer on August 6, 1914; Florence Baker. Constance Blatchley. Belle Holoway, Kvea More- land, Frances Miles. Anna Potter. Christine Ross, Ariletta Sanders. Pearl Warner, Frances Vensen. The members of the present Camp Fire who have earned rank of Wood Gatherer are: Helen Boentje, Belle Danly, Marie Kvans, Hester (taffy. Helen Larson, Louise Luedtkc. Carrie McCartney, Bernice Nelson, Gladys Sheridan, lJurtha Smith, Fleanor Stallard, Grace Tracy, Bonnie Troxel. Cornelia Willis. The rank of Wood Gatherer admits to the great national Camp Fire Circle and a girl is so recorded at head- 202 quarters. More than half our members plan to take the rank of Fire Maker before the close of the year. We have one ceremonial meeting and one or more business meetings each month. In the business meeting honors are reported to the (luardian and, it approved, are placed in the decorated record book. At the next ceremonial meeting these honors are awarded by the (luardian after the girl explains in detail the time and manner of earning them. Our team work for the year has consisted of Hikes and Nature Study Tramps First Aid to the Wounded. Making Kapha baskets. Indian ('raft, and Entertainment, including (lames. Clubs, Pageants, etc, I he work all along the line has been very pleasant and profitable. ! t 203 NORMAL BY MOONLIGHT Juanita Club A Secret Organization rounded at Kearney Normal in 1909. Seniors.

Prof. It. 11. Patterson was elected to take charge of this organization at the beginning of the school year in September. 1914. He has succeeded in getting together the players of hand instruments of the institution and in developing a fine band. At the Annual Spring Concert held on April 7, 1915, the band rendered the following program: Program. March ....................... “Diplomat”...................... Sousa Selection ..... ........................................... Gounod Waltz ................. “Spirit of Springtime”.................. King A Specialty..................

Indian War Dance ............................. Overture on National Airs..................... . Suppc .... Bizet Verdi Bellstedt . Tnbani Normal Orchestra The aim of this organization is to stimulate a more universal appreciation of the standard and classical music for orchestra and to offer an opportunity for the orches- tral talent of the school to acquire an invaluable training in ensemble playing. It is the policy of the management of the orchestra to adhere, in its renditions, almost entirely to standard music. The demands for the best in popular music are re- sponded to. The orchestra possesses an excellent library of car fully selected music. On its programs during the present year have appeared the following: Overtures— Queen of Autumn. Bigge; La Dame Blanche. Boieldieu; Poet and Peasant, Suppe; Jolly Robbers, Suppe; Operatic Selections—-Bohemian Girl, Balfe; Maritalia, Wal- lace; II Trovatore. Verdi? Faust. Gounod; Aida, Verdi. Selections—Humoresque. Dvorak; Echoes From the Metropolitan Opera House, Tobani; Medley Overtures of the latest song hits. Prof. B. H. Patterson, director of the rchestra, became a member of the faculty of the Normal at the beginning of the school year in 1910. and at that time was placed in charge of the orchestra which consisted of five pieces. The orchestra has grown in numbers and in efficiency until it has become one of the most useful and valuable organizations of the institution. The orchestra is called upon frequently to furnish a program during the Chapel hour. These are greatly appreciated by the faculty and student body. The orchestra is in demand for music at meetings of various clubs and school organizations and has entertained conventions and other state association meet- ings which have met in Kearney from time to time. The following make up the mem- bership of the orchestra: Director and Solo Violin First Cornet Prof. B. 11. Patterson Fred Schneider First Violin Second Cornet R. B. Shaw Mrs. Fred Schneider (Iretchen Easterling Trombone Second Violin Irvin Danly Charles Martin Bass Adam Kuhn 11 om F. i. Gildner Clarinet Piano Bennett Clayburn Mrs. B. II. Patterson. 208 NORMAL ORCHESTRA. NORMAL QUARTETTE. Moreland Randolph Green Birkelbaeh. •' |The Normal Male Quartet Tryouts were held early in the season for the Normal Quartet. The men chosen were as follows: First bass, Roy Stryker: second bass. William Birkelbaeh; iirst tenor, John Moreland: second tenor. Jess Randolph. After considerable work together, the quartet made its first public appearance at the Baptist Church. Shortly afterward Mr. Stryker left school. The vacancy thus created was filled by Honald Green, who has speedily developed into a first class bari tone. Owing to the lateness of the season, the idea of a heavy concert was given over, and the quartet directed its energies toward preparing music for the Junior-Senior banquet, and for Commencement time, giving in the meantime a number of selections in chapel. The Nordicean Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Grace Steadman, is organized and has a good enrollment, and meets for practice once a week. The object of the Glee Club is to bring students together who are interested in music and to further develop the appreciation of good music throughout the school. In April the Club gave the cantata. “‘ The Bells of Elfarnie.” by Godden and Blair. The soloists were Gladys Barker, lyric soprano, Grace Tracv, mezzo soprano, and Frances Taylor, contralto In time past the Club lias been called upon to sing for various entertainments and on special occasions. The music is always of the best. 310 NORDICEAN GLEE CLUB. LIBRARY. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. ()et. Dot. Oct. Oct. Oct.
