A. BLACK Secretary SARAH L. GARRETT. R S. Assistant Registrar PAUL GALE Student Assistant [201 DEAN OF WOMEN HE position of Dean of Women is a new one In our schools and colleges. This has come to meet a practical need and a social requirement in the care and supervision of young women. Every young woman has a right to the highest possible individual development, physical, intellectual, moral, social, and spiritual, that she may develop into the highest ideal of womanhood. Today hundreds of young women are entering our halls, some, earnestly, to pre- pare for their life work; others, to be entertained and amused. It therefore becomes the privilege and the duty of our Dean of Women to keep the balance true, to con- serve our young womanhood. The health of each young woman must be conserved and improved, since she is the dominant link in the new generation. She must be trained to be an economic factor, one who is able to make her own living, and. to spend wisely the funds at her disposal. She must be trained to use profitably her leisure time. She must realize her responsibility as a social being, and must be trained to give service to her community. So closely is the physical well-being of our young women related to their mental and moral growth, that we can well afford to encourage everything which is related to the most complete physical development. This of necessity includes the conditions under which our young women are living, as well as the habits of study, rest, and recreation. The over-ambitious girl whose greatest desire is to graduate magna cum laude, even at the expense of her health, must be held in check as well as the girl who shirks and is the despair of her professors. The girl who comes to college simply for the social life it offers, needs to be shown the true values in life. But her fellow student who holds in disdain any intercourse with those around her. is also in need of guidance. The penurious girl who is mistaken in the belief that she can afford to live in the poorest room, and dine at the cheapest table, needs our attention just as much as does the spendthrift, who has no con- ception of the value of money. It is the earnest endeavor of every Dean of Women, that our young women shall as nearly as possible realize the highest ideals of womanhood, Kearney was the first State Normal School in Nebraska to have a Dean of Women. In October. 1914, Miss Gertrude H. Gardner, head of the Latin department at that time, was elected to the position, and has carried on the work among the young women since that time. One channel thru which much of her work is revealed, is her personal hygiene classes, by means of which she endeavors to give practical assistance to every young woman in meeting her personal problems. Each year Miss Gardner has given a series of teas at her home, thus meeting the girls in small groups, and fostering a spirit of sociability and good fellowship in the student body, The Dean's Council has given her valuable assistance in furth- ering a spirit of unity among the girls. Miss Gardner has endeavored to know personally each young woman in school, and the conditions which surround her, in order that she may be her true friend and adviser. 1221 'his and test ual, p re- nes lon- Bhe mic . at lust ! tO aeir lich ides or to eck ho ;rue vitli ken :� est con- ball of lent the Mill] ‘ to ting ship irth- 100I, lend it, M.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, PSYCHOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY IT IS the purpose of this department t � offer courses underlying the science and philosophy of teaching. Every activity of man can be reduced to certain laws and principles. Just here lies the possibility for a science of education. Education is not a separate and independent science in the sense that it stands alone. On the contrary it has its close connections with psychology on the one hand and with ethics on the other. Ethics deals with the aims and purposes, or the meaning and value of human life. It Is one of the normative sciences. Ethics considers the worth of human conduct and the aims and goals that are worthy of our human striving. Since ethics has to do with the aims and purposes of our life, the educator cannot afford to neglect such a study for the reason that education, as one aspect of our human struggling, must have aims and purpose of life as a whole. It would be irrational to choose a certain aim for life and to choose an aim of education, business or religion that would stand in direct, conflict with this aim of life. The educator must, therefore, study the meaning and value, the aims and purposes of life, and in the light of these must determine the worthy goal of education. Ethics is there- fore an important consideration for the educator. Bui it is of little value to have aims and purposes in mind and to lack the necessary means or knowledge for their realization. Just here we find thp import ance of the descriptive sciences, such as psychology, biology and sociology. They give us a certain knowledge of mental and physical life which forms a necessary part of a larger theory of education. Psychology, as well as the other descriptive 123] GEORGE E. MARTIN. A. Ii. a. C. NIELSEN Dean of the Faculty Student Assistant sciences, is of no value to the teacher until her aims and purposes have been chosen. When we know what our aim is we can then consult our knowledge of psychology, biology and sociology In order to determine the law� of our human nature which must be taken account of if we are to reach our goal, which has been determined on ethical grounds. Many t ‘Mch« rs have the false notion that psychology will certainly be of assistance to them in teat hing. This Is not necessarily true. You can make no use of the means unless you have an end in mind to realize. Psychology is a secondary consideration, while our aims and purposes are first. Both the aims and the methods are mcessnry aspects of a larger theory of edu- cation and they are united in our practical human conduct. In order lt carry out the notion Unit theory and practice must foe kept close together, there is a constatu effort on the part of the department and that of the Teacher Training Department to bring theory and practice closer together. We believe in the close correlation between theory, practice- leaching and observation. We are greatly In need of closer correlation between these department� . And may we venture to suggest that a closer relation is desireable between all educational aspects of the various departments and that of the Teacher Training Department. It seems to me our greatest need is to correlate our energy so as to reach more effectively the aims and purposes which we are striving to realize. This can be accomplished in large part by closer co-operation between the department of theory and practice under the supervision of some one person who is given full charge, being vested with full authority and responsibility. Our aim of the future will be to seek closer correlation, less overlapping, and more intensive work in short greater efficiency thru conscious and practical recognition of the fact that only under intelligent supervision of some one individual can the department of theory and practice be so correlated as to abandon the superficial notion that practice is the only essential requirement in the development of the knowledge and ability to teach. 124] DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH EIGHT secondary and twenty-two collegiate courses are offered by the English Department. Their teaching is in the hands of four full-tinie teachers and one part-time teacher. Each teacher has made a special study of the content and presentation of the courses which fall to her. The entire English course is in a constant state of reorganization, looking toward a more perfect adjustment to meet Nebraska's present and future needs. For example, courses in Journalism, Stage Craft (English XX), Public Speaking, Rural School Literature. Pageantry, and Business English have recently been added. Graduate students will find much to interest them in the new courses in Advanced Composition and Familiar Essay to be offered in 1918. Increased emphasis is now falling on the speaking voice, oral composition, letter writing and dictation, dramatic composition, and rural school problems in English. All this is being done without interference with the already effective teaching of the appreciation of literature, written composition, and dramatic ex- pression. Plans are being worked out whereby all English courses can better teach students how to study how to gather, classify and evaluate general information, how to solve problems arising from professional emergencies, and how to begin scholarly investigations. It is planned to give adequate treatment and special stimulus to the exceptional student. The student, rather than the facts taught, is the center of instruction. And finally, the value of the teaching in this department lies not so much in the information put into the mind as in the interests awakened and the capacity developed for further education.

A. 13, MATHEMATICS T,HE value to anyone of a thoro course in Mathematics is beyond question, it is therefore especially valuable to teachers, who go forth as leaders and directors of the young. No subject, except the use of the mother Longue, so intimately connected with the affairs of everyday life and so necessary to the successful conduct of everyday affairs as Mathematics. Thoroneas in arithmetic is essential and this matter has been carefully con- sidered in planning our courses. Accuracy, rapidity, and neatness are the watch- words. Our courses in higher mathematics are planned to strengthen the teacher's ability in ihe lower work, to broaden the view, and to serve various practical and cultural purposes. To this end are offered various courses in Arithmetic, Algebra. Geometry. Trigonometry, Analytics, Calculus and Methods. Throughout all the work emphasis is placed on careful, thoughtful reading, thus understanding directions given; the picking out of essentials; properly repre- senting what is given or set forth: arranging these essential features in clear, neat, logical order and drawing proper conclusions therefrom. By proper comparisons students are led lo see how this kind of training is applied in other studies and to the various affairs or problems of one’s life. Not only the mastery of subject matter and its applications are emphasized but also the various methods of presenting these matters. Special attention is given to this side of the work in the Methods Class. Enroll with us and we assure von full value in return for all the energy you in vest. Ar IF Ki B5 IS r. N. ANDERSON, B. S. ETTA BROWN, M. Di. HISTORY AND CIVICS THE department of history includes history, civics, and economics. The funda- mental idea thruout is to teach teachers how to teach these subjects in the grades and high schools of Nebraska, The needs of rural, town, and city schools have been considered in planning the various courses. The complete equipment of the teacher for his work is aimed at knowledge of the nature of history, civics, and economics. Knowledge of the ends to be sought in teaching nr studying each of these for any given subject; knowledge of the facts pertaining to this subject; knowledge of the materials to be used; and knowledge of the methods and devices for attaining the ends sought. History is taught with the central idea that the present is the product of the past.” History that is not made to explain the present and help solve its problems is not worth the teaching. Conversely, the present s viewed in the light of the past, as an effect from it, united to it, and dependent upon it. Knowledge of the past makes clearer the view of the present, and more intelligent the plan- ning for progress in the future. Civics is taught similarly. The present; and one's surroundings are kept in mind always and the subject is studied with a view to a better understanding of one's duties and opportunities as a citizen, now and here. As current events are used in history at all times, so society in its community phases is kept in the foreground in civics. In Economics the society in which we live is again used as a laboratory Tor investigation, classification, and interpretation. The aim is to show the every day value or the subject, not only in one’s private affairs, but in his community relations also. [28] LULA E. WIKT. A. B. THE LATIN DEPARTMENT THE Latin. Department has been one of the active departments of the institution since its foundation in 1905. An appreciation of the cultural and practical values of Latin is evinced b.v the interest and the earnestness of the students enrolled in this department. Four years of college Latin are offered besides special courses in Mythology and Latin Methods. Each course has its specific aim. but the relation of the English and Latin is emphasized in all. A grammatical and rhetorical study of the Latin sentence both simplifies and clarifies the English sentence. A knowledge of Latin derivations lends added interest to word study and helps purify the native language. The classics always inspire a taste for good literature. Thru Caesar's vivid descriptions of his campaigns we learn much concerning the life and customs of the Roman people. The oratory of Cicero, as well as his information of Roman law is everywhere felt in the modern world. No message can be greater than that of Virgil’s in his account of willingness to sacrifice personal happiness for the sake of common good. The Aeueld abounds in deeds of courage, honesty and loyalty. Similar literary values are found in all advanced work. Besides the great values in English and literary lines, Latin is the foundation of modern Romance languages and is a great assistance in the every day business and professional world. In order to supplement the regular work, and to develop and broaden teachers, a Latin Club is maintained thru student organization. The aim of the department in every phase of the work is to train teachers for true service in the High Schools of our stale. 129] ALMA HOSIC, R. Ed.. A. M. GERMAN THE study of any foreign language affords the culture that comes from contact with new people, new en- vironment, new ideals. It helps to develop citizens with world-wide interests and sym- pathies. A reading knowledge of German is the key to some of the world's best products in education, philosophy, med- icine. music, and literature. Such a knowl- edge of German is indispensible for one who would become a specialist in any of these lines. He who studies a foreign language has a much better understanding of his own language. This is especially true of English and German since inflection and a generous per cent, of the vocabulary of both languages have a common great.grand- mother, the Teutonic language. No other foreign language is more practical for us since we can use it so advantageously with our German-speaking neighbors. Such a practical command of German is acquired through a sane use of the direct method; making the spoken word the basis of all work, using German words as thought symbols, forming German language habits. Four years of German or 36 hours, is the minimum requirement for students who are preparing to teach it. Many who go out have had five years. The children of the training school may begin German in the fifth grade and carry it thru the tenth grade. This affords abundant and varied opportunity for practice in teaching German both in the grades and in the high school. The six years of German offered are elective for all students who are eligible for college work. Two years of secondary German is given to meet the language entrance requirements. The chief aim of the first and second years is a good foundation for further appreciative study and use thru a proper correlation of grammar, composition, conversation, reading, and translation. Classical literature predominates in the third year. The fourth year is professional, including Methods in Teaching German. In the firth year we read modern dramas. The sixth year is devoted to the study of the History of German Literature, The fifth and sixth years alternate. Every available means is used to create a German atmosphere. The kind of reading, maps, postcards, lantern slides, plays, games, songs, and dramatization all contribute much toward “das Spniehgefnhl.” The German Club is an invaluable aid in giving life and color to the work of the class room. r oi PHYSICAL SCIENCE THE Department of Chemistry and Physics was organized with the establishment of the school in 1905. At that time, its quarters consisted of three small rooms: two for laboratories and one for recitation. These rooms are now used by the Home Economics for kitchen and dining room. Apparatus and equi; - ment were conspicuous for their absence, There was not even so much a a hammer or a bottle of aqua ammonia belonging to the department hilt we were abundantly supplied with phenomena for study in the form of a humming buzz saw, the ring of the workman’s hammer, the strong northwest wind blowing thru a windowless building or the hissing tractor which so kindly furnished the heat during those chilly November days. You can but imagine the satisfaction and pride that came with the firsi shipment of supplies that arrived In January of that first year carefully tucked away on the floor in the south-east corner of that first recita- tion room. Today, the department uses the entire third floor of the south wing and has at its disposal two well equipped chemical laboratories, two phyies laboratories which are commodious and well lighted, photometry laboratory, balance and reference room, store rooms, shop and preparation room and a well lighted, convenient lecture room and office. The apparatus and equipment is modern and additions are being made constantly as the needs of a steadily growing department demahd. The courses offered by the department touch every grade of school work in Nebraska.—the rural school, the grades and the high school. The courses in 131] LLOYl) WHITE Student Assistant NELLIE ROWELL Student Assistant general and analytical chemistry are framed to give the student the proper founda- tion for further study in this wonderful and important science as well as to give a clearer insight into the every day applications and Industries. These courses are of college rank. The courses in physics, methods of science and applied science arc outlined to be of especial benefit for science teachers as well as to Illuminate much of the work in the elementary schools. Tho the courses in the department are largely elective, there are five times as many enrolled as when the work was required in the early history of the school. The department is called upon from time to time to do analytical chemical work and it is thus enabled to serve the interests of the state in a very direct way. There are a number of young men and women who started their work here, who are now holding responsible positions in high school, normal, university, agricultural college or large industries, as instructor, research worker or analyst. The aim of the Instruction is to develop the inductive and experimental method of study and to excite in the student an appreciation and love for true experimenta- tion and the love of nature as revealed thru her marvelous ways of expression. 1321 BIOLOGICAL SGIENGE THE department of Biological Science embraces the various phases of Zoology, Botany, and Nature Study. Much of the work in the department is of a practical nature and, combined with the laboratory work, affords the student true discipline. Many of the students taking this work are introduced into an entirely new world by means of the microscopic work on the lower organisms. It is the aim of the department to have the student see the relation of living things to each other and the world in which they live, and to feel that he is a part of this same world. In other words we like to put the student on speaking terms with Mother Nature, and hope to have this acquaintance ripen into a real friendship that will endure. Being a Normal School, emphasis is placed on the methods of teaching the sciences. Special courses are offered for the teachers in the technique of the department. These courses include work in collecting, preserving and arranging of materials and actual practice in laboratory control. LV' (’AttRIE E. LUDDBN. B. Ed.

First, to train the young men and women for a higher type of community service. Second, to train them so that they may become more efficient members of the farming profession. Third, to train them so that they may enter the field of public school work better prepared to teach the boys and girls the art as well as the science of better farming and living. The first great object, is to provide a liberal, thoro and practical course; such as is necessary for efficient work and citizenship. To this end courses are offered that will appeal to the young men who desire to take up farming as a business, and to those persons who wish, to teach Agriculture in the public schools. In these courses in given the technical and practical training in the different phases of Agriculture, Soils, Field Crops, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry and Farm Manage- ment. A feature of the work is the visitation of some of the best farms in the community, there learning from the men in charge the methods by which success has been achieved. For those expecting to teach, special courses are offered to aid in the selection of text books materials and supplies, as well as the history and organization of similar courses and the methods of presentation. For those anticipating the teaching in the country school a one year course in the fundamentals of Agricultural Science is given, in which the work of the Boys and Girls Clubs is stressed as a means of teaching better farming to farm boys and girls. 135] A I II I 1 A. J. MERCER, A. B.. A M. EARTH SCIENCE AS TIME passes by many things occur which -appear at first glance revolution- ary. but after careful study and consideration with a fuller comprehension are found to be only evolutionary. Such is the status of Geography under the present conditions. In attempting to enrich geography at this time it is not the intention to revolutionize the subject but merely evolutionize it. While Place or Locational geography, which is the old time geography, must not be entirely abandoned or set aside, it is to be enriched by the new geography” which we will call regional geography. Regional geography has been called “the bright consummate flower of geographic science, from which «he best fruits of scientific method and discipline is to be obtained.” It is a study of environment with the thing environed. Regional geography discusses the same features as are discussed in general geography hut discusses them as they occur in a definite and limited region; in which all the phenomena of a given territory or country, physical, economical, and social are represented in logical and pedagogical form. This being followed by a line of industrial geography and commercial geography will give a richness to the subject, from which will evolve a richer, better, and purer geography. The department will carry on the work during the coming year as at present by giving a semester of physiography, followed by a semester of geology, it will also introduce a new line by offering for the first semester the subject of regional geography which will be followed in the second semester with the work in industrial geography. All the above work will bn under the head of college work. As secondary- work it will offer as at present a semester of general geography, also a semester of physical geography and one of commercial geography, and the usual reviews of a half semester for seniors and the rural school students. Locational or place geography will find an important place tliruout the courses. A short course in industrial geography will be ofTered along with the others during the coming summer term. 136| MARION C. SMITH THE ART DEPARTMENT THE Art Department, is one of the few fortunate departments of the school which have not been obliged to move about as additions have been made to the original building. Although money has not been plentiful, at various limes and in various ways many things have been added to the equipment of the department, such as good drawing desks, pottery and draperies for studies, easts, stuffed birds and pictures The school library contains art unusually fine art section with unlimited and most valuable references on the psychology of drawing, methods of teaching it, and the history and appreciation of art in its various developments. The library has also an extremely good collection of fine color prints of paintings. Beginning with its first year the Kearney Normal has always required of Its students a half year of drill” in drawing. More advanced work Is elective and is given college credit. In the elective work the class in design has an endless field in the decoration or paper construction, house decoration, stenciling, block printing and embroidery. The methods class studies the work of different seasons of the year as it is developed in the different elementary grades, methods of presenting lessons and the mediums to be used in making drawings effective. The class in the history of art studies periods of art and its development, painters and pictures, and pictures for picture study in schools. Besides these classes there are three semesters of advanced drawing where studies are made in charcoal, pencil, and water color from still life, nature, casts and people. Among the aims of the art department are the Seeing ’ eye open to ihe beauties and refinements of naiure and the skill of artists who interpret nature; skill with the hands in using materials; accuracy and carefulness; the ability to represent objects with the pencil as one may need to do in various occupations; a knowledge of how different tones of color are made and an interest in the agreeable arrange- ment of forms and colors whether it he in the building of a barn, the arrange- ment of a room, or a hat or dress. 1371 MRS. CHARLES H. WELLERS. II, S. HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS THE home Economics Department embraces both the subject of household science and of household art. Both of the subjects are required to finish the Home Economics Course and receive a Special Certificate, but either may be taken as elective work in other courses or the school. The Household Science deals with Food Study, Dietetics, and the various phases of Household Sanitation and Household Management, One of the interesting features of the study of foods is the planning, preparing and serving of meals by the different members of the class. Each girl takes her turn as cook and as waitress. The cook does her own marketing and must plan her meal to come within a certain amount of money. A great deal of rivalry usually prevails as to who shall get. the best meal at the least cost. The classes make trips to local markets, Hour mills and other places concerned with production or handling of foods, in order to study thes processes at first, hand. The course in household art covers plain stitching, embroidery, pattern making, anti the making of garments. Each girl buys her own material and makes the garments for herself from the patterns which she has drafted. A few garments are made on the dress forms without the use of patterns. Commercial patterns are studied as to their use and methods of altering. Accompanying the handwork of these courses, is the study of Textiles in which the textile fibres are studied in detail, the frabrics made from them, etc. Cost of Clothing, Hygiene of Clothing, Care and Repair. Ethics of Buying and Consumers League are a few of the topics which are studied and discussed. The aim of tile course is not only to teach thp girls to do the actual handwork but also to give them a broader and better knowledge of this subject which is of so much importance to every woman. vm 'HARLES H. WELLERS MANUAL TRAINING THE fundamental aim of the courses in this department is to prepare students as teachers of Manual training subjects In the High, Rural and: Graded schools of the state. The ccur.e as it is now organized consists of two years required work in Manual Training subjects together with those subjects other- wise required for graduation. The courses offered in Manual Training are Bench- work in Wood, two semesters. Mechanical Drawing, two semesters. Wood Turning. History of Manual Training, Organization and Methods of Manual Training, and practice teaching in Manual Training in the Training School. There are also supple- mentary courses offered in Book Binding, Sheet Metal Work and courses for second- ary credit open to those who wish them. The completion of the two years of work in Manual Training entitles the graduate to a special diploma and city certificate after he has also earned the first grade state certificate. The general interest shown in industrial work has brought the Manual Arts departments of educational institutions to the front rank as laboratories for training in constructive thinking. It Is not a new thought but a more defiite and concrete application of old and sound pedagogical doctrines of the early schoolmen. T'lie importance of training the senses in order to acquire keeness of perception, clearness in conception and logic in forming our general notions has always been emphasized in our theory classes. At first, and justly so perhaps. Manual Training was thought to be the disciplinary department to which the red blooded incorrigibles were sent for correction. Thru this very method educators became more thoroly acquainted with the educational value of Manual Arts as evidenced in constructive f39] thinking on the part of the incorrigiblea. A better understanding of this principle has given Manual Training its popular place in College and secondary schools. The Manual Arts Department of the Kearney State Normal has as yet made very little progress. When we think of the many phases of hand work which can and eventually must be incorporated in this department we realize what a small part has been accomplished. The course as it now operates can prepare teachers for departments in small High Schools, Rural and Graded Schools of this State. In the organization of courses Manual Training for those who are to teach Is not the vital principle. It is as far as Normal School work need be considered. The com- prehensive course must in the end not only prepare teachers of the subjects but also give a broader knowledge concerning the working tools of the varied occupa- tions which are manual in nature and upon which the training of the nations manhood and womanhood for the future, must depend. There must be empha- sized the pre-vocational. the vocational, the post vocational or continuation train- ing of individuals. The industrial department of Normal Schools must not theorize too much upon what should be done lo prepare teachers for the work. We may justly say that we can train teachers in other subjects which to a large extent have become standardized. The industrial work of the world into which our graduates must soon fit themselves Is based upon the highest and best standards of efficiency. If we do less than that in our Normal School Industrial Departments we cannot expect our graduates to meet competitive conditions either as teachers or as laborers in the world’s work. Therefore, the equipment cannot be too good in the matter of machinery or instructional force. Theoretical work alone will not meet the demands. Hand training in itself is not successful. There must be a resultant product liberally educated and skillfully trained in Manual dexterity. Some one has said, The progress in civilization has been proportionate to man's inventing and applying tools. Carlyle says, “With tools man is everything, without tools he is nothing.” SOME PROJECTS OP MANI A!, TRAINING DEPARTMENT [101 COMMERCIAL EDUCATION THE phenomenal growth of departments of business administration in the insti- tutions of higher learning and the increased enrollments from year to year in secondary schools is conclusive evidence of the demand in the business world for well-trained men and women. Keen competition in all lines of business activity demand organisation on sound scientific principles. It is the aim of the department in its courses to intensify and extend the scope of its work in the effort to train the student effectively in scientific management and scientific accountancy which have made business one of the greatest professions of the times, and one which all the other professions serve. The department, offering a two-year course, is primarily for the training of those who intend to teach. Provision has been made for students who expect to take up a business career. Such students are given a tboro training for positions as practical stenographers, secretaries, and bookkeepers. The length of the course, covering a period of two years, the facilities at our command in the way of exper- ienced instructors and modern equipment guarantee the best possible results. Professor B. H. Patterson, director of the department, has done much to make this department one of the best in the middle west. He is a man of excellent the- oretical training and a close student of practical business affairs. [43] ,T. A. STRYKER [44] RALPH EGGLESTON Student Assistant MRS. GRACE E. STEADMAN MARGARET L. DICK, A. R. DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC “Music is to the mind as is air to the body. Plato, WE are proud of the fact that the Normal School is able to furnish splendid musical instruction to Its students. With the growth of the school an enlargement of the department was necessary. Space does not permit an article of sufficient length to tell of the work from the opening of the school to the- present time. Year by year the scope of the department has been enlarged, until today a full Music Supervisors course is offered. Many of our students have taken this course and today occupy lucrative post tions. The class at present is larger than that of any previous year. Elementary and advanced sight singing (Including ear training, etc..) history, harmony, choral conducting, music appreciation. Kindergarten, Grade, and High School, music methods, glee clubs, piano, voice, hand and orchestra are offered. Many fine oratorios, cantatas, and diversified programs have been given. The Rose Maiden. Crusaders, Holy Cily. Creation. Elijah and Messiah are some of Hie works presented for the consideration of the public. Our own orchestra has accompanied these works with the exception of “The Messiah. At the presentation of this work the St. Paul Symphony Orchestra ap- peared, giving an afternoon program with the assistance of eminent soloists, and accompanying the oratorio in the evening. The soloists were; Madame Clara [451 MRS. OLIVE STRONG MONTAGUE WORLOCK Williams, soprano; Elsie Baker, contralto; Albert Lindquist, tenor; Frederick Wheel erer, bass. Last year no music festival was given. Preparations for St. Paul were begun, but it became evident that the new auditorium would not be completed in time to present the work, so the chorus took up the practice of the Creation4 instead. This latter work (its second presentation by the oratorio society) was given the opening night of the Kearney Chautauqua. About forty singers from Gibbon aug- mented the regular chorus. Next year we expect to give St. Paul and have an orchestra of national import- ance present at the May Festival. The Normal Oratorio Society, directed by Mrs. Steadman, numbers about one hundred and fifty voices. Over half of this number are students of the school. The remaining members are residents of Kearney. A very happy union of forces is thus accomplished. We are especially fortunate in our piano and voice depart- ments. Mrs. Olive Strong, head of the piano department is one of the finest concert pianists and teachers in Nebraska. She is a woman of strong personality, and splendidly equipped for her work, having studied with Liebling, Ganz and Sherwood She is affiliated with the University Conservatory of Lincoln and the Arts Publca- tion Society of St. Louis. The pupils are inspired with her own high ideals and love of real work. This department has grown to such an extent that many prac- tice pianos are now in use. The voice department is in charge of Mr. Montague Worlock, who comes to us from England and Italy, with many years of study and public work to his credit. When you know that Mr. Worlock was a pupil of Nava and of the famous Lamperti, [46] you will understand the thoroness of his preparation and what it means to have a teacher of his ability connected with the school. He has had a highly successful career on the Continent as a grand opera baritone, and as an oratorio singer in England. Altho with us but a few months, his strong teaching ability and wide knowl- edge is already bearing fruit and proves the wisdom of his selection for the position. Mr. Patterson, director of band and orchestra, is a violinist of much ability. He took four years of special work with Charles W. Foster, formerly an instructor in the Univesity of Illinois. He has developed an excellent band and his orchestra does especially fine work. These organizations are in great demand In the school and city. Miss Margaret Dick, assisting Mrs. Steadman is a graduate of the degree courses of both the Iowa State Teachers College and of the Kearney State Normal. Besides her preparation for the public school music work, she is a fine pianist and holds a fellowship in the American Guild of Organists, As director of the girls glee club she has been very successful. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and her classe very much alive. Mrs, Steadman, director of the music department and of the public school music received her musical education principally at Delaware and Cincinnati, Ohio. For many years she has been a concert and church soloist, voice teacher, choral director and teacher in the public schools, consequently she brings to her work the wide knowledge so essential for its success. Her ideal is to make the Music Department the best of its kind in the west and to that end spares no pains to further its growth. Soon we shall be housed (with the exception of some of the practice rooms) on the third fioor of the new auditorium building where the accommodations will be exceptional. For this we are duly thankful and happy. [47] B. H. PATTERSON Director or Band and Orchestra SPIRIT OF THE K. S. N. THE Spirit of the K, S. N.” is the title of a musical contribution made this year by a Kearney professor, B. H. Patterson. The composer is well known in musical circles in the middle west. He is director of both the Kearney State Normal School band and orchestra, and thru his work with these organizations has proved an invaluable adjunct to the school entirely apart from his work as head of the Commercial Department, Wherever Kearney students assemble, be it at social function, in reception halls or at concerts of brawn upon the athletic field, the smiling professor is always pres- ent to assist the spirit of the school with music appropriate for the occasion. It is this interest which Professor Patterson always takes in student activities at Kearney which led him to dedicate his recent musical production to the school, under the title, “Spirit of the K. S, NY’ The composition is a spirited march, typical of the dash and life of our western college. It became immediately popular among the students. It is now on the market and is being well received by the public. Music critics declare it a very skillful piece of work. May the school over be worthy of the compliment paid it by Professor Patterson in the dedication of the Spirit of the K, S.

II. Patterson, director of the band has been serving in that capacity for the past three years. During that time he has brought it from the amateur class into the professional class and made it a most valuable adjunct to the school. lie has done much to raise and maintain standards for the organi- zation, until now the band of the Kearney State Normal School takes second place to no band in the state. The work of the band under the direction of Professor Patterson offers a most valuable opportunity to students for good musical training, as well as offering a chance to boost for K. S. N.

Perhaps the highest endorsement of its work is the invitation extended by the com- mittee on arrangements to participate in the general programs of the National Commercial Teachers Federation in Chicago, December, 1916. Concerning the performance of the orchestra, the chairman of the committee on arrangements had the Following to say: “At the last meeting of the Federation the President expressed a very warm appreciation of the services of your orchestra during our Twentieth Annual Convention.” “As secretary, I am directed officially to express that appreciation in a letter, and permit me to say that the music as well as the willing- ness and the promptness with which it was rendered and the kindly personal conduct of the leader and the members of the orchestra were greatly appreciated by the Federation.” “I express to you personally how much we appreciated your orchestra and wish here to say that I sincerely hope you can arrange to come again another year.” As leader of the orchestra. Professor B. H. Patterson has given valuable service to the school for the past seven years. In this time the orchestra has grown greatly in numbers but more in the quality of the music it produces. It is probably the best known school organization in the middle west. To the leadership of Pro- fessor Patterson, and to the high Ideals he has attained, must be given most of the credit for Its usual success. It is almost impossible to imagine social functions, special programs, and chapel services without the music of the orchestra and its smiling leader. Professor Patterson.

Reed Horns Stanley Erb V. N. Brown [52| Piano Blanche Ball THE DEPARTMENT OF RURAL EDUCATION THE Department of Rural Education has the distinction of being the first one to be established by a special act of the legislature. In 1.915 the Nebraska Legislature authorized departments of rural education in all the State Normal Schools. Accordingly, in January, 1916, there was organized in ihe Kearney St at 1 Normal School this department, it being the first one in the slate. Mr. Leslie B. Sipple was placed in charge. In June, 1916, Miss Alice Florer was chosen as assistant in the department, which position she filled until January, 1917, when she resigned to become the State Rural School Supervisor in the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Students enter courses in the department after completing the tenth grade in high school and are given a special rural teacher’s course covering two years. At the completion of the course (12th grade)' a special rural teachers’ state certificate is given. A course is also offered to college students who wish to prepare for the positions as county superintendents, teachers of high school normal training, principals of rural consolidated schools, or other positions requiring ability In rural leadership. The diploma of the school Is given to those who complete this course of two years. No state in the union offers such opportunities to the well trained rural teacher or leader as Nebraska. K. S. N. S. has calls for many more young men and women for such positions than it can fill. These positions offer salaries and chances to display initiative which are superior to most teaching positions. The department has as an important part of its professional work, two rural 154] schools Buda and Glen wood, where students observe and do practice teaching under real country conditions. In these schools the best in teaching methods and in rural community work is exemplified. Buda is a two teacher, ten grade school and modern in every respect. Here Miss Florence Kellogg is Principal and Miss Lottie McKean is Assistant. Glen wood is one of the old boxcar schools. Here Miss Blanche Heacoek demonstrates what can be done in a type of school so common to Nebraska. A new Community House is being planned for this district. Plans are also being perfected to take charge of a new rural school that has been recently built under the direction of City Supt. Caviness in the city limits of Kearney. Here conditions as nearly ideal as possible will be had including a thoroughly modern building and equipment, a school plot of ten acres, a teachers’ cottage etc. A vocal ion ali zed curriculum will be worked out and students In the rural department and in the normal training classes in the high school will have a hand in the work. Mr. Elmer Stephens has been procured for the teacher in this school. The aim of this department is to send out well trained! teachers for the rural schools. It insists that its graduates have a firm foundation of academic knowledge received in the many other departments of the school. In addition it attempts to give that professional knowledge which will equip the student to perform expert service as teacher and leader, and which will give him a clear vision of the needs and opportunities of the country. The Kearney Rural Club is a strong force in this work. The rural department is assisted and supported in this work by every other department in the school. [55] GEORGE E. MARTIN, A. B, Director TRAINING SCHOOL THE Training School, which was established with !he Kearney State Normal School, is seriously attempting to better the schools of the state thru its product, I! points with pride to its record of the past. This record was made in spite of obstacles and discouragements incident to any new and growing department. This department's graduates are found all over the state and reports of success are the rule. Not only has the attempt to make good teachers been successful but the pupils who have received instruction there have given a splendid account of themselves. A number of students off the college courses of the Normal School have received all their elementary training here and find their preparation at least equal to that of their fellows. All grades from the Kindergarten through the tenth are comprehended in this school. Competent critic teachers direct and motivate the teaching off the student teachers. Mr. George E. Martin is Directoi of the school. High School teaching is criti- cized by Miss Cora O'Connell and Miss Evelyn Dilley. Miss Catherine Hicks is critic of the fifth and sixth grade work. The work in grades three and four is under the criticism of Miss Nellie E. Barton. Miss Charlotte Lowe is In charge of Lite work of teachers of first and second grades. Miss Anna E, Caldwell presides over the Kindergarten and Is assisted by Miss Agnes Knutzen. Each member of the department is looking eagerly forward to the time when we shall be properly housed in. :i modern Training School Building which Is Kear- ney’s greatest need. [561 I i ANNA E.

THE LIBRARY THE Library is in reality the workshop of the Normal. Library Methods, a required subject, has been the means of making the students more independ- ent in the use of the Library. One hundred and ninly-one students have been enrolled this year. Good Book Week,” which was celebrated in December, has been continued by special collection on display each week. An effort has been made to create an interest in pictures in the same way. There has been a continued growth in books, magazines and equipment. We moved into our present quarters in 1911, At that time, we had 60(10 books, 101 magazines, 8 tables, 80 chairs; we now have 13.600 books, 139 magazines. 20 tables. 200 chairs. Our library staff has doubled in number, and the library hours per week have increased from 46 to 56. The library is open from 7:15 to 5:45. making an increase in 10 hours of service per week. The extension service has increased materially.- A Rural School Library of 100 volumes has been circulating in our Rural Demonstration Schools this year. Plans are being considered for increasing the capacity for seating and for book storage. Our aim is to build a good working school library and to render the best possi- ble service to our students. 1611 MRS SARAH BRINDLEY Preceptress GREEN TERRACE HALL FOR beauty of architecture, for spacious rooms and convenient arrangements, this Dormitory stands alone in its appointments, It is always well heated, lighted and ventilated. It is well equipped with comfortable beds, beautiful rugs and other substantial furnishings sufficient for the well being of the 75 girls who are fortunate enough to be housed here during their years of acquiring professional training. The reception room is of ample size to accommodate all the girls assembled at one time. The color and arrangement of this room produces a homelike atmosphere sufficient to causp our guests to respond gladly to the invitation we sometimes extend. To enumerate the occasions we have entertained would make a long list. We will mention but a few. The first was a social hour for the purpose of getting acquainted, given on Sept. 17 by the preceptess, (Mrs. Brindley). The next was a large affair on October 12. given by Mrs. Brindley and the girls of the hall, to the entire student body and faculty. It was the first time that so large a party had been given but success attended our efforts. On Dec. 16 Mrs. Brindley entertained her special friends from the city. On Dec. 21 a Christmas party with beautiful decorations. The stormy Sunday night in January was an occasion to remembered because of the singing, the tea served and futures revealed. A taffy-pull during Mrs, Brindley's absence to the Teachers' convention, the Peru Band Serenade November 23, Tegner Party February 7. Dramatic Club entertainment in April and the Music Supervisors Club entertainment, are pleasant memories. From time to time gifts have been contributed by girls of each year. Pictures, rocking chairs, and a valuable clock are among the memorials given. A hospital room was equipped with linen and this year the plan Is to furnish the laundry with better conveniences. [621 To The Dormitory Away out here in Nebraska, Near the stately Normal Walls, Ts the dear old dormitory Known as Green Terrace Hall. Within this dormitory There’s the jolliest hunch of girls, There’s every thing from straight black hair To shiny golden curls.

HARDY Engineer MORRIS V, BALCOM Assistant Engineer THE HEATING PLANT SCHOOL at the Kearney Stale Normal School began in the fall of 1905 with no permanent stairways, no doors and only cloth for window panes. Early in October a cold wave struck this part of the state and made it necessary to have heat For a month oil heaters were used hut those were not satisfactory to the school nor to the dormitory and in the early part of November two tractor engines furnished steam for the radiators of the school and one for those of the dormitory. But these lacked power and the pupils shivered until the middle of January when the boiler of the plant took the place of the engines. Since the starting of the new plant, a period of twelve years, there has been no time that it has been disabled to the extent that the buildings wTere without heat. Ward H. Hardy, who has been chief engineer since the beginning, and his assistants, Jake McLunty and Maurice Balconi of Kearney, are responsible for this excellent record. The plant also heats and furnishes hot water for the girls dormi- tory. The plant is situated one block north of the main entrance of the Normal School and connected with it by a brick tunnel thru which all the heat, light, and telephone lines pass. There are two one hundred-twenty horse power and one one hundred-fifty horse power boilers, installed in 1905, 1909 and 1913 respectively, which are con- nected by a six inch header-pipe with the main lead to the school. Seven traps hold the steam to its place thruout the system, thereby saving one-third the power formerly used. An average of fifty tons of Rock Springs slack coal, at the cost of [64] three dollars and seventy-five cents a ton, are used every week, Mr. Hardy says he finds it to be the best steam coal that can be bought. However there is one disadvantage in using this coal and that is the danger of spontaneous combustion. The coal often becomes hot and smokes for several days. Owing to this fact it Is necessary to shovel it about a great deal Jo keep it well aired. It is evident that the coal must be very dry if a great amount is to he stored in the plant for future use, which is often necessary for fear of a shortage during the winter months. Three years ago this spring a one hundred eleven foot smoke tower was erected at a cost of $3,250. The tower measures five feet six inches thruout its height, and is choked from the outside. A one thousand pound ring plate holds the top bricks in place. A new ten inch, rather than a six inch, header-pipe and an extension of the west wall for more working and storing room are the improvements planned for the coming year. These will be sufficient improvements to heat the new gymnasium and supply the water for the swimming pool. [65] THE JANITORS 1 asked a janitor if lie would wed And in my home his brightness shed. He faintly smiled and murmured low: “If I can have Sapolio. IT IS either Sapolio, Dutch Cleanser or just plain elbow grease that the student janitors use to keep the Kearney State Normal School building clean. It fairly shines with cleanliness, from the Hag-staff to the basement. Not a molecule of dust, is left under the radiator even. Every evening at 4:15, eleven young men are seen carrying large buckets, mops and push brooms from room to room, chasing out any dirt or dust that has collected there during the day, as efficiently as “Old Dutch Cleanser herself. Every floor of the fifty rooms in the building is swept and mopped each day. So quickly and well are they done that it seems as tho it were the work of a magician or perhaps of the brownies, for such is the appearance of the boys in their brown union-alls and black skull caps. The speed with which the work is done is remarkable when one notices the number of girls who are always taking to these hard working young men. Wald Balcom can almost always be seen leaning more or less gracefully against the handle of his broom while he discusses with some fair young damsel the philosophy of Bob Ingeraoll's views on life. Waid says that any old time he cun get a job at twenty cents an hour talking to a good looking girl, he will take it This must be a family trait, for Wald’s brother, Archie, can be seen any hour at the other end of the hall fishing out from behind a rediator a note-book for a petticoat in distress. Dewey Kring is the gallant young man who Insists on toting the heavy chairs for all the ladies of the school. The boys make a good natured squad and can be heard whistling and singing at their work. They get peeved only when some one walks along the halls, where they are mopping, and leaves tracks on the shining floor. John Marshall Is superintendent of these workers and it is due to his good management that so large a building is kept In such perfect order with so small a force. Mr. Marshall is always pleasant and willing to help. It is thru his efforts and cooperation of the janitors that school life runs so smoothly and the acquiring of an education at the Kearney State Normal School is made so pleasant and dustless.

[66] THANKSGIVING DINNER Mr. and Mrs. Saunders in Background, Two of Their Helpers in Foreground BOARDING DEPARTMENT WHEN prices have doubled and in some cases trebled, when you're only charged twenty five cents more a week, and you had two hundred boarders to satisfy, what would you do? It is some problem, eh? This is just wrha! confronts Mr. J. D. Saunders of the Normal Cafe. Hundreds of students and teachers scattered over the Middle West testify to the quantity and quality of the board served at the “Dorm. It is questionable whether board of the same quality can be secured any other place for the same price. How does he do it? Let us see. First of all Mr. Saunders is efficient. He buys in large quantities at the lowest market price. Then it is served in an efficient manner. The dish washing is done by machinery. The bread is mixed and potatoes mashed by an electrically driven machine. Mr. Saunders bakes his own bread, pies, cake, and cookies, in a large oven which he recently installed. This work is done by Mr. Saunders, his three able helpers and twenty-live students who work for their board. The dining room is at all times under the sup- ervision of Mrs. Saunders, while Miss Eleanor attends lo the work at the desk. Mr. Saunders motto is, “The best for the lowest possible money, served in the best possible manner. and, needless to say, It is well lived up to. m BOOK THREE CLASSES 4 A Little Learning Is A Dangerous Thing.

Early in the fall term of I91«i the idea, “Why not organize a graduate class?”, originated in the minds of our Dean Martin and others interested. The plan devel- oped and produced results. Students who were going around as if out of place because they did not desire to ally themselves with the Senior Class, and too proud to impose upon their sympathy, gladly responded to a call which led to the organi- zation of this class. The keel for this ship was laid and enough interest was shown to celebrate the launching with a fine banquet. The charter members are, Ethel and Marion Craig. Anna Knutzen. Mary Dick, Margaret Long, Mrs. John Ludden, Mrs, Koyer, Celia Parker and Fred Schmeeckle. At the opening of the second semester, Helen Roberts. Francis Rhone, and William Stutheit joined our ranks. Now since this class has a start we all hope that it will be a permanent organ ization of the K. S. N. S.

Look out for the S-E, S-E, SEN. I-O. I-O. IOR, O Seniors. Our numbers nearly reach the mark one twenty strong, And as we enter in the fray we sweep the world along. In football we have made our mark and basket ball is fine. And baseball fills our hearts with pride, as we think of our nine. And so we'll conquer worlds to come as we have ever done, And show that we will honor bring when we have vie tories won! So here’s to our Alma Mater, the normal we hold dear, And here’s to Seniors, brave and bold, the class without a peer.

ANCIENT HISTORY CHAPTER I History is recognized as a chronicle of events past or passing esteemed to be of sufficient interest to the present and future generations to warrant recording. Truth is an essential attribute to all real history which concerns itself with schools and classes and so it shall be essential in this history of the class of 1927. The beginning of our great historical epoch was the formation, of a freshman class, consisting of twenty-four members, October 10th, 1913, and the election of officers in true parliamentary style. So momentous was the occasion that Ben Anderson refrained from stuffing the ballot box. From the very first we were a venerated class. The upper classmen insisted upon sitting with us in our section I in chapel and it was only thru the repeated efforts of our courageous sergeant-al- arms that the diabolical obtruders were removed. Miss Catherine Hicks was chosen class sponsor at our second class meeting. It was thru her wise advisorship that the class has such an unimpeachable record to leave behind. Altho we had many social events, the one that stands out most prominently, was the Easter party given by Miss Hicks in the Rest Room. It was there that Hillard Cameron won his title of most successful egg hunter in the class. This was because he was so able to recognize an egg thru long practice in judging them for culinary purposes. We worked hard during our Freshman year and a I the close of the Spring term we had gained such a high standing in school work that we looked eagerly forward to the next fall when we should continue our career as Sophomores. CHAPTER II In September, 1914, the class congregated again, and elected officers. The boys out numbered the girls, but in all class controversies that arose the girls were generally able to cast two votes, terminating any strife which arose. This was the case when a change of class colors was suggested. The boys with Lloyd White as their leader insisted that red and yellow should be the colors we should honor. Records do not state what happened but our class colors are now orange and black. After a long and strenuous battle with the Freshmen we came out victorious In the inter-class basket ball games in January, In March we showed the Freshmen how to debate when our team competently proved to the satisfaction of the judges that “Muncipal Government is inadequate. Indeed our debating squad, consisting of Mable Miller, Archie Watts and Waid Relcom was so “ineffably adequate that the Seniors met them with no little ap- prehension. Numerous good limes were participated in by the class during the year, but the one most enjoyed was an Irish party given by Miss Hicks. So green was every one that all the girls had to be escorted home because they were afraid a stray cow might mistake them for vegetation or Freshmen and devour them. As Spring approached well laid plans for the future were outlined and with I he addition of new forces we should make history that would continue to be Interesting. BOOK TWO. MODERN HISTORY CHAPTER 1 The junior class, being the largest in the history of the school, was given the complete western section of seats in Chapel. Here we proved that at all times we stood for democracy, school “pep” and “our faculty. [991 On September 2. 1.915 we held our first Junior Class meeting, elected officers, systematized and organized ourselves so well that we evolved with mechanism running as smoothly as a Swiss watch. As our honorable class consisted of many noted people from cities, towns, villages and farms of Nebraska, it was decided that the only way to make a bosom friend of some future Billie Bryan ’ or “President of the United States was to have a parly and all get acquainted. The first part of the evening was given over to a How-do-you-do, glad-to-know-you, reception in the rest room( and the last part to a hike and wienie roast among the hills by the lake. On November 9, 1915. a “pep committee had been appointed with the result that on November 1, five hundred startling posters met the eye of citizens (especially the seniors) from every fence corner and door post. This was an overwhelming surprise for the Seniors from the Juniors. All arrangements for the event were kept in absolute secrecy. The preemptory message was printed in Hastings, and pasted over Kearney at 10 o’clock. She night after Hallowe’en. Some of them still remain as old land marks down Lincoln Way. iKIiiilliliiiiiiiiiiiiilliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliM , r;j;i!jfr iiiiiiiiiiiiiJJi.iiiiiiiii To all unsophisticated immature, conscienceless, fickle, superfluous, insignificant shiftless, thoughtless, barbarous, straw-haired, oeplrss. vacuum-headed Seniors: We, the glorious, multitudinous, irrepressible, peerless, cognitive and scholarly Class of 1917, establish the foilowiro rules which must be obeyed by the Senior Class, upon penalty of extermination Rule I.

All Seniors must leave dolls and marbles ouside of library 1917 [101] At the beginning of April all the energy of the class was put forth in giving a May-day love-feast to the Seniors in which all animosity was obliterated. The banquet was held in the Normal Cafe and the hall was decorated with apple blossoms twined in the lattice of the windows and around the pillars. Baskets of red roses and red candles adorned the tables. Even the toast list carried the idea of spring.

It was thru these meetings that we discovered we had such splendid dramatic ability that we decided to give a play. So on May 18, the college drama, At the End of the Rainbow,” was given with the following cast of characters: Robert Preston, a lawyer - Alfred Stridborg Douglas Brown, football man - - Otto Jansen Dick Preston, the groom - - - Paul Dale Stanley Palmer, Hawkins, the Butler” Stanley Erb Red Whitney, captain ....

All good and great workers have a just reward, so the class was compensated for strenuous labor with a Jolly Junior picnic one day during the week before school closed. Dressed in old country clothes we bumped over the hills in Pat Hayward's truck to Glenwood Park. Here we enjoyed baseball and boating until the refreshment committee summoned us to a feast, served cafeteria style. It was a day long to be remembered by all and especially by Madge Bishop, who came out victorious in a water fight. She says however that she will take a towel along next time. During the last week of school when the Seniors were weighed down with cares galore, the Juniors spent all their time trying to make Commencement a suc- cess. For further particulars ask Belva Anderson or Alfred Stridborg. Needless to say all went smoothly as usual with the Juniors at the helm. CHAPTER II If as Juniors we had been jolly and light hearted, it follows naturally that as Seniors we added dignity and responsibility. On the first Saturday of the school year, 1916. we welcomed our new members and the Junior class bv entertaining them with a picnic at the home of Helen Courtright. So successful was this event that the two classes have ever since lived in harmony and good will. On September 26, 1916, we organized as a class, and at this meeting officers were elected. The publishing of the annual was unanimously agreed upon, October 10, 1916. Wald Baleom wras elected editor and Ray Johnson business manager. A masquerade party was in order for the Seniors at Hallowe’en to which our faculty was invited. Altho some Seniors in their strange garbs were thot to be faculty members, few of the faculty were thought to be any other than Freshmen, who had wandered in by mistake. The seniors handed down the junior class song November 28th with due solem- Inty, the juniors received it with reverence, promising to keep and cherish It as we had. March 3. Our debating teams won unanimously from Hastings and Grand Island on the question: He,solved, that immlgraticn to United States should be further restricted by means of a literacy test. The members of the squads were: Ruth Oleson Waid Balcom Leslie Lewis Philip Person Ray Miller Helen Roberts Senior Senior Senior Senior Senior Post-graduate Other social events of the year were a Senior party in March and a Junior- Senior reception in May. The latter was much appreciated by the Seniors as it was the first of its Kind in the history cf the school. (The high cost of living pre- vented a banquet.) On Arbor Day the Seniors established Dry Day by planting ivy around the new buildings that were being erected. IVY DAY PROGRAM Ivy day oration - - Ruth Oleson Senior Song The History of Ivy Day - President G. S. Dick Why We Planted Ivy - • Miss Carrie Ludden The Planting of the Ivy - The Class The Planting of the Tree - The Class Presentation of Towel to the Junior Class .................................Class President Acceptance ...................Junior President Junior Song School Songs - - Directed by Mrs. Steadman The Prince Chap, by Edward Peple was chosen as the Senior Play. II is considered one of the best dramas by that author. Not only was this play given in the new auditorium, but it was also our honor to be the first class to graduate In this beautiful structure. Thus are we started out into the world with this, the beginning of our history. The future fame of our individual members shall be written down in the Unfinished Chapter, As other classes have taken their place in (he world, so shall we. Let us hope that our efforts here to profit by the best that our Alma Mater offers have not been in vain; but that our labors shall be performed in the spirit of altruism, in giving back to our fellow-men ihe great lessons we have learned within her wall. Such has been our ideal in the past. Thruout the years of our attendance we have tried to do all in our power for the advancement of the school. In the name of true service may our future endeavors repay in some measure the blessings we have received from the dear old K, S. N.

The scenes of all three acts are laid in a London studio. The story centers around a young American sculptor, William Peyton, who loves a New York girl, and has gone to London to make a name for himself before claiming her as his wife. There, he employs a widow of culture for a model. She becomes seriously ill and implores him lo take her six-year old daughter under his protection. He protests, but before she dies he gives his promise to care for baby Claudia. The little girl lives in his home and wins the love of Peyton’s artists friends who live on the floor above. In the course of a couple of years, his fiance couies to London, and upon seeing the affection existing between the sculptor and the little girl, she declares he must, prove that the baby is not his own by giving her up. He refuses to do this and Alice immediately marries u wealthy New Yorkonan, In the third act “the baby is eighteen years old. The sculptor sees the propriety of having a house keener in the home, and makes arrangements for one. About the same time one of the old time artist friends proposes to Claudia and is rejected. Alice returns, a widow, and is ready to renew the old friendship, but thru this series of events, the sculptor arid his ward come to realize that a new and greater love has come into their lives, and the play ends with little Claudia becom- ing the promised wife of her dear friend and guardian. H09] SENIOR PSALM OF LIFE I Tell me not, 0 mournful junior. Senior life's an empty dream! That the class is dead or dying, That to you we lifeless seem. School is real, and seniors earnest! And commencement’s not the end; 1 For into Nebraska’s schoolrooms We our joyous ways will wend. There enjoyment, and not sorrow. Soon will be our happy fate; So to teach that each tomorrow Marks for progress of the State. Days seem long, yet Time is fleeting, And our hearts can scarce b? gay. As we think how each day brings us. Closer to Commencement Day. In the world’s broad field of battle, Soon we each shall find a place,— There to guide, to teach, t counsel Those who’ll later lead the race. Lives of juniors all remind us We were one-time dense as they. Yet from out the murky darkness We have .stepped into the day. Stepped into such paths of knowledge Traveling up thru K. S. N.. That forlorn, discouraged juniors. Seeing, all took heart again. Let us then be up and doing. With a smile we'll face our work; Teaching schools, and being leaders; We will ne’er our duty shirk. And. perchance, when years have left us Worn, and looking toward the end. We may all look thru these pages. Live again at K. S. N. � When we’ve all our lessons finished, And e-irthly work is at an end. May we have a class reunion. Where we’ll never part again. [110] SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Left to right—Balconi, Johnson. Hueftle, Walker. Mohler The Senior Basketball Team, a very worthy team, alt ho they did not win the school championship they justly won second place. Walker and Johnson held down the goal end of the field and put the ball thru the basket while Balcom and Hueftle played the guard. Mohler, altho rather short for the job as center, made up for his lack in height with his rapid upward movements as well as his ability io cover the floor. That the senior team had the quality, is evidenced by the fact that three of its members played on the school team thruout the season. PROF. A. J. MERCER OUR SPONSER Our class of 1918 assembled itsell three years ago and chose Professor A. J. Mercer as the proper one to preside at the wheel. Because of our wise choice we have sailed along at a lively pace all this time and as we enter upon the last lap of the race it is with that boundless spirit of emulation and that joy that’s found in confidence, all of which results from unity and progressivenesa brought about by an able leader. He worked with us and he played with us. It is for such com- panionship as this that we are grateful to him. Here's to the one who helped us begin To him who stood with us thru thick and thru thin Here’s to the one who is with us to win OUR SPONSOR [114] 1 GLASS OFFICERS Leonard T.

Yell Leader Gladys Nelson .................... Musical Director Alberta Lewis ................................Pianist Elmer L. Stevens .................. Sergeant-at-arms i GLASS HISTORY This class of jolly Juniors was organized in the fall of 1913. Professor A. J. Mercer was chosen as class advisor. It is to this jolly fellow, whom we shall never forget, that we owe all of our good limes together and so much of our class spirit. He has been ever busy in the interest of our class and of the individuals therein both in work and play. in our freshmen year we contented ourselves with being onlookers and watching the antics of I he other classmen. A motion to have a class party, when brot up at a class meeting always carried unanimously. We were too sharp to let the other classmen know when we were going to have a party so we were never disturbed by them. This year we chose our class colors, PURPLE and GOLD, and made up some Class yells. All in all our little band was firmly established and on the road to progress by the end of the year. The second year we kept on coming 10 the front. In fact we were looked up to by all the other classes. For instance; at some of our parties we had such lively times that other classmen hearing of them would come and look on thru the windows that they might get an understanding of the recipe that brought forth such merri- ment. Some even ventured to raise the windows that they might get a better (hat or cap) view. Occasionally we got in on the spoils after some Junior-Senior melee if we happened to be present. Once we got in on a real fight. Gee but we did go some! We were going to see where those poor Juniors would stop. The whole school would have been pretty dead that year if it hadn’t been for us. The PRE- MOTION put out by the Juniors to the Seniors would have been a complete failure had It not been for us looking upon it as a joke and starting everyone laughing. At the beginning of the third year we just kept on going faster than ever. Our membership totaled one hundred fifty. During the summer our president had gone higher up—into the Senior class—so we elected another capable man to fill his place. We set sail with a frolic and jubilee on the big lawn at Vanity Fair. We ‘ate” all the good things that had been prepared, “drank” dear old father Adam’s pure and unadulterated ale, and made merry” to the step of the folk dance music. Later we had a Hallowe'en hard lime social. Old lime games, refreshments, and costumes made this occasion another of great pleasure for all of us. Miss Anna Caldwell told a “creepy” Hallowe’en story and sang the song “There was an old woman all skin and bones.” Professor A. J. Mercer sang a solo then he and Miss Caldwell sang ' Johnny Schmocker.” As a whole the class is as one mind. Out of pity for those morose care- worn Seniors who as a class have shown us due and proper reverence, and particu- larly out of pity for their brave and noble yell leaders who smiled in the face of failure, have we refrained from “pulling off any stunts” on them. The consequences [116| resulting from several of the Senior boys .struggling to get a stubborn Billy goat, labeled JUNIORS. on the stage at the stunt night” program, has been enough mortification for them. And what adds to this is lo think that those dignified Senior girls even clapped their hands in merry glee. This would have been quite a clever joke had they been able to hang on to this goat all year but they lost their grip and when a goat once gets to going and you feel hold slipping—well. Here we will have to leave the Seniors and come back to our own history strictly speaking. Instead of a Junior-Senior banquet this year we are going to give a reception. We shall make this an affair of fellowship and good feeling as has always been the custom on such occasions and shall see that they are graduated or otherwise removed from this institution in due manner and promptness, in order, of course, to clear the way for our class next year. As for next year we have clear and definite plans made as to our manner of procedure. Just watch us. They call us Jolly Juniors, The name is always right: For no matter what may happen We’re never dull but bright. We're young, and gay, and happy. We never will grow old (Altho the seniors sometimes do At least thats what we're told.) The seniors soon will leave us. And we will take their place Bui may it not be said of us We lead a slower pace. U171 McVaney, Oomefer, Bragg, Phelps. Myers, Hamilton JUNIOR BASKET BALL Juniors easily won the inter-class basketball championship this year. The first night of the series we won from the Freshmen by a score of 35 to 4. The next evening we led the Seniors a merry chase as a cat does a mouse then finished with a score of 26 to 10 in our favor. Two of our men were first team men, two more were “subs” and the other man was a good one. The Seniors played three first team men a “sub” and an extra man so the comparison plainly shows that we had the quality. All of our men will bo back next year and with this year’s experience will go to make up a team that the Normal School will be proud of. Our captain, Domier was unanimously chosen as captain of the team for next [1181 year. I Helen Rebecca Berggren, Marquette Y. W. C.

The class unity is a noticeable trait. Since our class is the smallest in numbers it follows that in order to accomplish anything our unity and class loyalty must be great. That such has been the case can best be illustrated, perhaps, by the fact, that in the matter of the inter-class basketball games, certain of our boys, not inclined toward athletics, over-looked their own convenience, in doing all they could to make a success of the class games, Altho we lost in the way of getting the most scores, yet we are proud of playing with a fair, earnest effort, a good game. Our spirit of hearty cooperation was evidenced at the first of the year by our reception Tor the Freshmen. We did all we could to get the Freshies started right. We have cooperated in the organizations of the school. All the clubs have among their members a goodly number of Sophomores to whom they owe a pro- portionate degree of their success. The Sophomores have enjoyed their social lifp. Our jolly Christmas frolic and merry Valentine party will be among our happy memories. It is the purpose of our class that our social functions shall train us for our future place in society. The class of Nineteen-nineteen is the first to have two sponsors at Kearney Normal. Dr. R. M. Shreves and Miss Blanche Riggs, assisted by the hearty sup- port of a band of loyal class officers, have done their part in giving the class its distinctive merit. THE '19 BRAND So here we pledge unto I he class we love Our loyal service and our firm support; Perform each task, all pettiness above; However tried, to nothing low resort. Oh! happy in our work and in our sport Making the most of life on every hand; Our record here at Kearney how e’er short Reflects great honor on the '19 brand. Each loyal member spreads our fame thruout the hand. 1144] Earl Woodring DewEy Kring Gust Hohlfeld Benj. McCain in On Ralph EgglesTon But we did our best Each with noble zest At all times in the play. That’s all we have to say. [145] Juniors J. H. STOUTEMYER CARRIE E LUDDEN FRESHMAN ADVISORS If we should be called upon to explain the cause of the wonderful success of the class of 1920, we should fail sadly unless we mentioned the many different things that have been of help to us. We might answer that it is because of our yell-leader who furnishes us with the necessary 'pep. We might call on our Antelope reporter who spreads good tidings about us. We might give praise to our class officers for they have made possible the cooperation of our members. We might and we do point to our colors which are to us a symbol of union, and say that there is the source of our success. We might speak of the loyalty of our class members, for surely loyalty is the foundation upon which success Is built. But if we stop here, we shall have failed to mention one of the most potent causes of our success. We very early realized that '“He, who would he wise, must have wise counselors,” and it was with this thought in mind that we chosp Miss Carrie E. Ludden and Mr. J. H. Stoutemyer as our class advisors. To these two we are deeply indebted for the helpful aid which they have so kindly and willingly given. With such advisors we can well face the future without fear. [148) FRESHMAN GLASS Let not Ambition mock their useful toil. Their homely joys, and destiny obscure; Nor Grandeur hear with a disdainful smile The short and simple annals of the poor. In writing the history of the class of 1920, it becomes our lot to record the events that have befallen the class in this the maiden year of its existence. Shortly after the term opened, the Sophomores prepared a picnic in honor of the new students, and as is always the custom on like occasions, the newcomers were out in full array. None of them dreamed when they set out how far reach- ing the effects of this event would be, but it was at this time that they conceived the desire to do greater things than any cf their predecessors. Hence a few days later, by common consent, they met for the purpose of organizing so as to be better able ot carry out this desire. It was from this meeting that the Freshman Class of 1916-17 sprang. As with all Freshman classes in years past there was in this one inborn instinct and longing to excel the other classes of the school—especially the Sopho- mores. Their success in this has been wonderful. The chapel yelling by the Freshman is always a treat. At such times the smiles from the faculty members and the scowls from the Sophomores are the greatest rewards that we ever could ask. On the morning after the Sophomore Freshman basketball game, in whioh the Sophomores had become a worm in the dust, the Freshman fairly raised the roof of the chapel, but the Sophomores said never a word. When the score was slowly counted off it wras like tolling ihe death knell of the Sophomores. The Freshman dearly love parties but they believe in having good ones. Their motto in this respect has been “One good party rather than two poor ones. In keeping with this spirit and well fitted to Freshman purses was the “hard times party” on November 3. Linen collars, starched shirts, creased trousers, and silken garments were relinquished. Plow shoes, flanel shirts, overalls, and calico dresses with gingham aprons were everywhere in evidence. At the opening of the second semester, the class found itself on the wav of prosperity and the social committee at once made great plans for the future. The Freshman class is well represented in every organization of the school. The determination of the class members to do things and their 'get there” spirit promises to place them in the ranks of leaders as time goes on. The class motto Our business is looking upward” inspires each member to strive for the best things in life. Coupling this with the indomitable spirit of the class, we feel safe in prophesying that in time the class of 1920 will be able Th' applause of listening senates to command, The threats of pain and ruin to dispise, To scatter plenty o'er a smiling land, And read their history in a nation's eyes.

They had only a very short time to get into trim for the class games and consequently showed lack of team work. What they lacked in this respect they easily made up for in grit and fighting spirit. In the first set of class game? the Juniors took the long end of the score, leaving in fact but very little to the Freshmen. However the Freshles had the satisfaction of seeing the Sophomores humbled by the Seniors between acts. The following evening the Freshmen wreaked awful vengeance upon the Sophomores and it took weeks before the latter dared to make an announcement in chapel. Since then the team has played two practice games with the boys of the State indus- trial School. They lost both but gained such a reputation for clean, fast playing that the boys out there were honestly able to say, “We are glad you have been here. Come again for another game.'’ From such a team we can surely expect great things, and we are looking for- ward to see them make their mark in future contests. [151] BOOK FOUR PUBLICATIONS THE ANTELOPE Seven hundred-fifty subscribers look eagerly forward, each week during the school year, to the arrival of the Antelope the Kearney Normal School paper. Thru reading the Antelope the students keep acquainted with the affairs of the school and those who have gone from here keep in touch with their Alma-Mater. The editor and business manager of the Antelope are students. The funds for its support are derived in part from the Single Tax and the remainder from advertisements. The year of 1916-17. with Ray Miller as editor and Frank Walker as business manager has been the banner year for the Antelope. Arrangements have been made by which the class in Journalism furnishes a large part of the writings” for the Antelope, thus greatly relieving the editor and at the same time affording some practical experience in Journalism for the mem- bers of the class. The cooperation of the Antelope and the journalism class has developed one of the best college papers in the state. The need of a semi-weekly or daily paper is keenly felt by Prof. Ralph W. Noyer and his Journalism class. We look forward to the time when Kearney Normal School will have its own equipment for printing. Then, the Antelope will probably become a daily. 1155] RAY MILLER Editor FRANK WALKER Business Manager antelope BOARD OF CONTROL BLUE AND GOLD STAFF Waid E, Balcom Editordn-chief Ray G, Johnson Business Mgr.

Patterson, Pate, Elliott ATHLETICS The Kearney State Normal School stands for clean athletics and haw always maintained strong teams in all departments of athletic sports. It is the aim of the institution to offer an opportunity for the physical development of all of Its students and especially during the football season you will find practically all the men of the school engaged in this recreation. Much encouragement has been given to the organization of teams from the various classes and a great deal of interest has been created. Inter-collegiate games in all departments arc scheduled annually and our teams have had more than the usual success in the employ of clean methods of sportsmanship. All athletic sports are under the supervision or a board of control consisting of five faculty members, including the coach, and one student representative. The members of the board are alt men who appreciate the inestimable value of athletic training. The following are the officers of the board of control: Geo. E. Martin, president; B. H. Patterson, secretary; J. S. Elliott, treasurer. M. S Pate is also a member of the board. Harry Tollefsen is athletic coach. Our fine new gymnasium modern in every particular, including a well-planned swimming pool, will be completed by the first of next school year. This permits the organization of a strong Department of Physical Education. In this line vital constructive work will be clone for the better physical condition of students. Much out-door recreation will be directed and the work in all phases of athletics will receive careful attention. [160| COACH T CLEFS EX Mr, Tollefsen was for several seasons a valuable member of the Kearney High School football s |iiad. After one very successful year as coach at K. H.

Still there is some satisfaction m knowing that we had a team which did not Lack for sand even if It did not have I he experience. We are proud of the Antelopes of 1916. They showed a spirit upon which the worst defeat could not place a damper. From pre-season reports Kearney was billed to have material on hand which would make any of the conference teams look sick. But when the season open- ed the stars were nowhere to be seen. The failure of Otto Jansen and Carl Carrig to return was also keenly felt. The season started late. Most of the con- ference teams had played two or three games when Kearney played her first. This was a serious handicap. The first game of the season was with Coiner, at Bethany. Kearney won with a score of nineteen to nothing. The work of Captain Miller, Shields, Hueftle, and Wareham featured in this game. On November third the York Preachers” came down, bent on avenging former defeats. They did it to the tune of twenty-six to nothing. In York, Kearney met a fast, heavy, and well coached team. The Antelopes held them scoreless the first half, but they rolled up twenty-six points in the second. November the tenth saw the Central City “Quakers trim us forty4wo to nine. The game was clean and well played on both sides. In this game Captain Miller was put out of commission for the remainder of the season. Grand Island was the next to trim” us. The game was severely crippled by the loss of Captain Miller, Scoutt and Cameron. The Baptists came out the victors by a forty-two to nothing score. In this game Shields received injuries which kept him out the remainder of the season. All eyes were now turned toward the coming game with Peru, Dell Hibberd, an ex-Creighton star, and Bob Randolph, an Antelope star of years gone by and whom Eckersol of the Chicago Tribune calls one of the best tackles in the West, were called to assist in the coaching. The lineup of the team was changed some- what. Cameron was shifted to quarter-back. Scoutt to half, with Lewis and Cad- wallider for the end positions. Luck was with Peru. At the end of the first: half the Antelopes hit their stride. They plugged the Peru line at will and Wareham was sent over for a touchdown. The work of Heagney, McVaney. and Hueftle on the line, Wareham, Scoutt and Cameron in the back field feature. This is the first time since 1911 that Peru has defeated Kearney. But even at that we have scored a total of 157 points to fifty-three for Peru. Our annual Thanksgiving game was played at Hastings this year. The game [168] was not a strictly clean” afTair. The Hastings players showed themselves lo be poor sportsmen tho they won by a score of six to cur five. The prospects for next year are good. Otto Jansen and Carl Carrig will be back In the “harness.” Of this year’s team. Captain Miller. Htieftle, Wareham and Cadwallader will be lost. However, with such a nucleus as Captain-elect Me- Vaney, Shields, Cameron, DeLaBrre, Heagney, Lewis, Stevens. Scoutt, Bragg. McCammon, Jeldon, Wolford. Dittmer and Dale, a winning term shon'd he expected. U69| BASKETBALL The basket ball season at the Kearney State Normal School was on the whole as successful as in seasons past The team was entirely new, with the exception of Hueftie, one of last year’s subs. The loss of Otto Jansen, Captain-elect, was keenly felt. The first call brought out thirty men. When the class games had been played the squad was picked. It consisted or Domeier, Johnson, Walker, Hueftie, Mohler, MeV ney, Myers and Bragg. The first game with Brand Island resulted in a victory for Kearney. The next week w ewere defeated by Hastings, York, Peru, and Grand Island. Hastings was our second victim. York won from us the Following week. The last game was played with Peru which resulted in a victory for Peru. Domeier, captain, center; one of the best men Kearney has ever had on a basketball floor. Big, fast, and a good goal shooter. Walker, guard; a stout, consistant player, few goals were shot by Frank's man. Mohler, guard; covered the floor well and was good in field goals. Hueftie, guard; a hard player and in the game all the time. McVaney, forward; could “rough” it with the best of them, good on the floor. Johnson, forward; a fast man on the floor, handled the ball nicely. Myers and Bragg were good utility men. BASEBALL The spring of Nineteen hundred sixteen saw the return of Intercollegiate base- ball to Kearney, Tho but two games were played, it was a start. Two games were played between Wesleyan University and Kearney resulting in a victory for each. The batteries for the first game were, Thompson, Essert and Heider. The An- telopes won by a score of eleven to fourteen. The failure of Kearney to hit In the pinches cost them the second game, a ten inning contest, by a six to five score. Essert, Thompson and Robb were the batteries in the second game. The hitting of Jansen, Essert and Heider. the fielding of Cameron and Bodwell, with Thompson's pitching featured in these games. The teams of Elm Creek and Minden were also defeated. The line up was, viz.: pitchers, Thompson and Nye; catcher, Heider; first base, Robb; second base, Bodwell; shortstop, Essert; third base, Cameron; fielders, Jansen, I, DeVoe, L. DeVoe and Rich. The season of nineteen hundred seventeen should show the Antelopes in win- ning form. Cameron will be back on the third bag. Among the new men Johnson and Domeier stand out as the best in their section of the state. There are many new men and a winning team should result.

GRAND ISLAND LEWIS OLESON BALCOM NEGATIVE TEAM KEARNEY VS. HASTINGS .MILLLIt ROBERTS PERSON [175] TRIANGULAR DEBATES KEARNEY, HASTINGS AND GRAND ISLAND The year of 1916 saw the first triangular debates with Grand Island College, Hastings College and Kearney Normal School. The speakers, in these debates were inexperienced, but they put up a good fight. KParney did not win a decision. With the opening of the school year of '16-T7, Professor Ralph W. Noyer took Dean Martin’s place in charge of debating, Dean Martin being forced to give all his time to other duties. The question agreed upon by the three schools this year was, Resolved: That immigration should be further restricted by means of a liter- acy test. After several weeks of careful study and preparation Ruth Oleson, C. L. Lewis and Waid Balcom were selected to uphold the affirmative against Grand Island. At Hastings the negative was upheld by Ray Miller, Philip Person and Helen Roberts. The date off the debate was March 2. Ruth Oleson opened the debate for Kearney. From the very first the superiority of the Kearney team was apparent and when Waid Balcom closed the rebuttal for Kearney, the judges gave a unanimous verdict in favor of the affirmative But what was going on down at Hastings all this time? The judges decision tells the story better than I can. “Kearney three, Hastings none.” That’s just how Mr. Elliott got the good news over the telephone. Everybody gave one big yell! The Kearney State Normal School has decisively defeated two four year colleges. 11761 BOOK SEVEN ORGANIZATIONS Of all the organizations of the Kearney State Normal School none ranks higher In efficiency than the Young Womens Christian Association. Thruoui the entire year the cheerful, helpful influence of the association is felt, not only by the student body, but by various organizations in the vicinity. Its work is done so quietly and unostentatiously that few people, not. actively engaged in the work of the association, realize the scope of its endeavor. Two weeks before school opens personal letters are sent out to new students offering the services of the association. On the opening days committees meet trains and welcome the new students escorting them to school and to their room- ing places. Before the first month of school is over a membership campaign has been held to bring the members into closer relations. The membership of 1916-17 numbers one hundred seventy-six active members who are divided Into seven committees, each with an able advisor chosen from members of the faculty. Every Wednesday afternoon a devotional or an inspirational meeting is held under the leadership of the devotional committee, which has no light responsibility in providing such weekly and special religious meetings as shall offer each girl in the school opportunity for vital growth in her personal fellowship with Jesus Christ, and in her personal responsibility to His world-wide kingdom. To fill this need various types of meetings are held—including devotional, evangelistic, Chris- tian fundamentals, missionary, social service and practical talks. These meetings are led by the girls themselves, by members of the faculty and by able women from beyond the campus. During the year the various committees plan social affairs for the entire stu- dent body. These events are red letter days on the school calendar. Among the most enjoyable this year were the ‘‘Get Acquainted” Reception at the beginning of the school year, the Krist Mark! December 13, under the auspices of the finance committee and the Washington Birthday Party, February 17, planned by the social committee But the association does not expend its energies altogether in social and reli- gious affair. Financially it is a thriving business-like body with a comfortable exchequer which is ever ready for a worthy financial outlay, A large, airy rest- room. fitted up with beautiful rugs, curtains and comfortable couches, is kept for the 'benefit of all the girls of the school, and each committee is furnished with a liberal allowance for necessary expenditures. Within the past two years the association has made gifts to the State Hospital for Tuberculous; furnished a room in the St. Luke's Hospital; contributed toward the support of Mother Hull Hospi- tal; assisted materially in the Christmas Cheer work and paid a liberal sum toward the support of Miss Paxon, the association missionary In China.

M. These weekly meetings during ihe past year have been the nucleus of the Y. M. C. A. and the inspiration of our activities. In these meetings Christian standards and ideals have been held held forth as the only safe guide for college men. Most of the leaders and sjieak- eas have been students and there seems to be no desire to change the policy. At the opening of the school year the three Christian Associations gave a get acquainted party to the students. Shortly after the Y. M, C. A. gave the well known watermelon feed, where the men were given an opportunity to show their capacity. Then a month or two later came the peanut and apple feed’ which was njoyed by a largp number of men and at present a men’s banquet is being planned. During the year, young men's bible classes have been conducted at the differ- ent churches of Kearney in which a very large per cent of the men have been enrolled. Professor Sipple has been the leader of a mission study tdass. The topic under discussion has been the rural problem. This is a timely topic to discuss and under this able leadership will unquestionably bring good results. The men of the association have been conducting Sunday afternoon meetings at the State Industrial School. The programs from time to time have consisted of short talks by the members and songs by the Y. M. C. A. quartette. This work has been a source of joy and inspiration to the men who have taken part and we hope that the boys of our neighbor institution have received some good. Beside the work among the boys on the hill, a new line of work has been car ried on down town in connection with the Salvation Army. The purpose of this has been to show that Christian men are interested in the welfare of men and women regardless of their station in life. Judging from the interest shown by all parties, this work will undoubtedly be carried on indefinitely. The Y. M. C. A. has had a prosperous year with a most excellent attendance at. the meetings and much interest shown in all activities. The association is looking toward a bright future, in that there is much work to do and many strong young men anxious to do their share. 11841 [186] V. M. C, A. The Catholic Students Association is a distinctly Christian organization and has on its membership roll all of the catholic students of the institution. A systematic study of the literature of the catholic faith and the correlation of this with the training offered by the institution for better citizenship is the aim of the association. A feature of each year’s work has been a series of lec- tures delivered by the Rt. Rev. James A. Duffy, D. D., and Rev. H. Muenstermann, both residents of Kearney, These lectures were most instructive and have given much inspiration to the work as a whole. Several social meetings are held each year at the homes of resident members. The culmination of the year’s work is a function to be given the last of May. The greatest event in the history of the local organization was the annual convention of The Catholic Students' Association of America held in Kearney, November 10 and 11, 1916. The honor accorded the local club Is Quite unusual tak- ing into consideration the size of this association as compared with the large mem- berships of some of the lead ng universities and the short time it has been affil- iated with the national organization. Father Burke, C. S. F. of Chicago, the well- known lecturer and author, was the principal speaker of the convention. Much of the success of the club is due to our sponsor. Prof. B. H. Patterson, who has taken an active interest in the club's work during his seven years of ser- vice in the Kearney State Normal School. 1.187] OFFICERS OF CATHOLIC CLUB First Semester Wilma Dona von Dorothy Hubbard Vice President Caroline Pelle . . . .

The meetings of the club are held regularly each Friday evening from seven until tight. All members are expected to be present. Accepted excuses are illness or absence from town. The regular program consists of debates on subjects of national and local interest, short talks on various problems of school life, extemp- oraneous speeches, parliamentary drill and the critic’s discussion of each speaker’s subject matter and her method of presentation. After the program comes the busi- ness meeting where questions concerning the society are discussed and settled. Not all of the programs are of this serious nature for on occasions such as the initiation of members and the installation of officers “stunt programs are given. Without previous preparation the new officers and members are requested to entertain the others. These amusing initiations are among the most enjoyable events of the year. The society has an annual banquet. This year It took the form of a “date party. Dates figured prominently In the menu. Calendar dates were used as the chief element of decoration and costumes represented some date in the national development of our country. Each girl present gave a toast. That the club is recognized as one of the best is shown by the fact that we have the full number allowed by the constitution. Our large membership is due to the enthusiasm shown by the girls, to the good quality of work done, and to the critic, whose timely suggestions aid each member to see and to overcome her weak points.

It has had its ups and downs in common with all other societies of the school, and is now one of the strongest of the school organizations. The purpose of the work of the Emanons is the training of the members of the society for logical thinking ant! effective public speaking. Meetings are held every Friday night. The programs consist of reviews of current events, optional talks, parliamentary practice and debates on questions of state or national im- portance. The society has maintained a state of high efficiency thruout the present term of school. Leonard Waterman was president during the first semester, and August Luedtke was elected for the second semester. The success of the society has been due largely to the fact that the Emanans are learning to think for themselves and to take a firm stand upon all Questions confronting them. Space will not permit mention of all the Emanons who have achieved note- worthy success in their work, bur among them are Anthony Easterling, now work- ing for the Associated Press; O. A. Sinkie, who has won honors as an orator at the Nebraska University; Raymond E. Kirk, who was a member of a winning debating team from the Nebraska University; Earnest Danly, a Hastings attorney. Scores of other Emanons are making names for themselves in the public schools of Nebraska and in other occupations. Prof. Ralph W. Noyer has been the critic and sponsor of the Emanons during the present term. His ability as a public speaker and a debate coach has made him a most valuable advisor to the society, and contributed greatly to the success of the society this year. 11941 Johnson, Mattison, Herring, Cadwallader.

So new in fact I hat it has never before appeared in the Blue and Gold. The need for another girl’s literary society was felt at the beginning of the present semester when the Aspasian society reached its limit in nuinbrs. As a consequence of this need, a petition with twenty signa- tures for the formation of a new society was presented to the faculty. The petition was granted on Wednesday, February 21, 1917. On the following Friday the girls interested met in room 106 and organized a society having as its aim the advancement of literary attainments of its numbers by practice in logical thinking and expression, drill in parliamentary law and discussion of cur- rent literature. The name Ossoli for Margaret Fuller Ossoli, one of the first great literary women of this country, was chorea as a fitting one for this organization. One week after organization the Ossoli Literary Society was taking an active part in the forensics of the school by uniting with the other twro literary societies in giving a reception in honor of the intercollegiate debaters of the Grand Island- Kearney debate. Charter members and officers of ihe society are: Mabel Miller, President: Grace Seydell, Vice President; Jes Ic Etherton, Secretary: Viva Bourne, Treasurer; Edith Thygesen, Reporter; Phoebe Melin, Sergeant-at-Arms; Ethel Abercombie, Mary Abercombie, EnoJa Baker, Gail Grant, Glenna Grant, Bessie Gnes, Elsie Hen- drickson, Lulu Hendrickson.

ENGLISH GLUB The English Club hail its beginning early in nineteen hundred and ten The members of the short story class conceived the idea of an organization which should promote interest in original writing, and at the same time enable students to continue their practice even thn opportunity to carry further courses in com- position was denied them. From the time of its formation the club has been one of the most important of student activities, socially and educationally. The initial purpose or encouraging literary effort is carried out. Original lim- ericks and other rhimes are often given in response to roll call. Stories of Nebraska life are often thrilling. Poems are attempted with much success. Keen enjoyment is found in character sketches. The programs are made doubly val- uable by the full criticism into which everyone enters freely. The democracy of the Nebraska plains permeates every phase of l he society. The club is entertained once a month at the home of some member. Member- ship is elective. A committee is always oil the lookout for students who show ability in writing or a liking for the work. The present officers are: president, Calvin Miller; vice president, Alfred Stridborg; secretary. Bessie Stansbury; reporter, Alta Kibler; critic, Blanche Riggs, advisor, Mary Crawford, Under the leadership of Miss Crawford. Miss Riggs and Mr. Noyer the club can justly look forward to a brilliant future.

For four years it was in reality a Nebraska History Club, but since 1915 the work has enlarged. This year the members of the Club are divided into four com- mittees which study history of Nebraska. The History Teachers Magazine, The National Geographic Magazine and the history of Cuba and Japan. This work has been interesting and entertaining, besides being very instructive to ail members. One of the events which stands out prominently In the history of the activi- ties of the Club is the celebration of Nebraska Day. This took place on March 3, 1916. This was the first event of its kind in the history of the state. Of great historical interest to the club is the Old Fort Kearney located about eight miles southeast of Kearney. On one occasion the members of the club spent the day at the fort, exploring the various historical sites. Many relics of interest were found which added to the collection of the History Club’s Museum. The Nebraska History committee is indexing the Nebraska History material in the K. S. N. S. Library for the use of those who arp preparing the pageant which is to be given in the spring. The Club owes a great deal to Professor Anderson, whose advice and guidance have been invaluable. It indeed appreciates his earnestness, faithfulness and enthusiasm which are manifest in the work of the Club. 1202] HISTORY CLUB From row—(left to right) Ruth Burns, Helen White, Diantha Francisco, Wald Balcom, Anna Luedike.

The purpose of Latina Sodalitas is three-fold: to cultivate the social life of the department, to emphasize the practical phase of Latin, and to increase the classical knowledge of the student. In brief, its aim Is to correlate Latin with life. Under the enthusiastic supervision of Miss Wirt, the present year has been one of the most successful in the history of the organization. Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month, either at the Normal or in private homes of the city. During the year each Latin class of the school has planned and con- ducted one of the meetings, emphasizing some special theme of interest. The programs have included Latin songs and games, selections front classic prose and poetry, stereoptican views, and original Latin expressions. At one of the afternoon meetings Dean Martin gave an interesting discussion on “The Practical Value of Latin”: at another time Miss Celia Parker talked to ihe club about her experiences in Italy. It is customary each year for the club to contribute something to the equip- ment of the Latin department, such as an appropriate picture or bust. Through these memorials, as well as through the far reaching influence of the organization, Latina Sodalitas has gained a certain stability and unity, which endure from year to year through the changing membership. With the keenest pleasure the club is anticipating the completion of the new auditorium in which classical plays may be conveniently staged. The results ac- complished this year, however, will doubtless serve as a splendid basis for the future achievements of the organization. Truly Rome was not built in a day; neither have the centuries wrought destruction. Rome lives today! 12041 LATIN CLUB 1205] Wir sind die Deutschen of K. S. N. S. Our organization is one of the oldest in the institution. The German Club was organized in the fall of 1907 with a membership of thirty-one. Since that time the enrollment has been sixty to eighty-two. All students especially interested in German are eligible to member- ship but the majority of our members are studying the language and desire to know more about German customs and ideals. The club holds its regular meetings on the third Tuesday of each month. At this time interesting programs are given which afford opportunity for acquiring conversational “Deutseh.” German songs, games, exercises in parliamentary ruling, recitations, plays, and lantern slides all furnish practise in hearing and speaking German, give a better understanding of the German people and their literature and thus supplement the work of the department. The social hour which forms a part of every program is an important factor in creating a German atmosphere. Occasionally at these social hours we all enjoy Kaffee und Kaffeekuchen, und deutsches Schwarzbrot. “Ach, es schmeckt gut’'! The club aims to stage a play each year which arouses much interest, A special program is given at the Christmas season in the real German Christmas spirit. The German classes in the training school put on most of this program which is closed with a treat for the children from the members of the Club. The money left in the treasury at the end of the year is spent for German Victrola records, pictures, and costumes which help in the work of the club and of the department. Much of the credit for the successful work of the organization is due to Miss Hosic who Is always ready to help us over difficulties.

Hazel Lovitl—We will meet with rhe president next time. The play will be “The Twelve-pound Lock” by Barrie. It will probably be one of our best plays, for the cast is already at work. Alice Janies is exceptionally good as Kale, Dorothy How is at her best as Emmy, and Miles Ondwallader is doing an artistic piece of work in his part. Be sure to come at seven-thirty.

The purpose of the Society is to arouse an active interest in Scandinavian language and literature, in order that the student may see and appreciate the wealth and beauty in the writings of these three countries. During the past year, two classes have been conducted for the advancement of this work. Students have met once a week to pursue the study of Bjornsen, Lagerlof and other famous authors. These classes have had an enrollment of about twenty. The Tegners have met once a month for their regular program, Here has been an excellent opportunity to get in close touch with the treasures of Scandina- vian music, art and poetry, and also to get acquainted with the games which have played so large a part in the history of these peoples. A great part of this year's success is due the librarian who has assisted the society in many ways. We may find, upon the shelves of our library, some off the best literature of the Scandinavian languages. Works of Ibsen, Bjornsen, Drach- man, Tagner and Lagerlof are found in the original. The greatest event of the year for the Tegners was the annual banquet. To bring about the right mood the rest room and tables had been decorated with Danish. Norwegian and Swedish flags. The menu was Scandinavian even to the least detail of “Kaffe og Knald-sukker. To further the proper spirit, several Swedish selections were played on the victrola. Following the banquet, numerous games were played. OFFICERS OF 1916-1917 President .............................. Clarence Olsen Vice President Treasurer ..............................

S. N. S. conceived a vision which materialized In the form of the Academy of Science and Mathematics. Information as to the exact time at which the vision appeared cannot be secured but by an examination of the secretary’s record it was discovered that the first meeting was held the fourth of March in Professor H. O, Sutton’s lecture room Students who showed a special interest along the lines of science and mathe- matics received an invitation to join. The regular meetings of the Academy were at first held at eight j . in. on the first Thursday of each month but at the session of December 9, 1916, the time of meeting was changed to the third Saturday of each month. The departments represented depend to a greater or less degree upon each other. The subjects offered in each department lay down certain facts and prin- ciples on which to build, and each is conducive to clear thinking and original ideas. Their study makes one more observant of the laws of nature and how these laws can be made to minister to humanity. Thus we may say that fundamentally the purpose of the Academy is to promote an interest in the study and advance- ment of science and Incidentally to bring before its members a better understand- ing of the relationship between the subjects of science and mathematics and their practical application to human life. This year’s programs have added much Interest to the meetings. Among the important events are found such numbers as “A Trip Among the Stars” by Profes- sor A. J. Mercer, “Asphalt and Asphalt Paving” by Professor John Engleman. and “Taxidermy” by Mr. Fred Sehmeckle. However the great event of the year occurred on March 9, 1917, Prof, Lawrence Bruner of the Stale University delivered an illustrated lecture on “Birds and Insects.” The Academy feels highly honored In being represented by Nebraska’s first man. Besides being able to digest long lectures on the scientific problems of the day, the Academy at the meeting of January 20 found itself able to do justice to refreshments, which were scientific- ally prepared and mathematically served. The prospects of the Academy Tor the future are very bright. With the selective ability of the biological department, firmly grounded by the earth science and agricultural departments raised to the tenth power by the mathematical department, and well loaded with momentum front the physical science department, it is impossible to stray from the path of success. Established November, 1905 Colors, Maroon and Gold Insignia, Ball, Cylinder and Cube Probably no more loyal and active group of girls can be found in the school than those who make up the Froebel Kindergarten Bund. The yearly initiation ceremony is one far famed and feared. The Christmas Banquet, the May Break- fast, and the Children's Party-—the three social events—are eagerly looked forward to. To be a Bund Kindergarten teacher and come back and tell her experiences in meeting is the ambition of each member. This year the Bund has become interested in the Better Films movement and is putting on a children's film once a month al a local picture house. The first one. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” was very successful. It is hoped these will give an Impetus to the demand for better films for all. The Bund numbers fifty-two this year—the largest membership in its history. Their gift to the Kindergarten was a beautiful silk sewed flag with brass standard and spread eagle. Meetings are held the fourth Tuesday of each month, are entirely in the hands of the members and are always interesting and well attended. Loyalty to their club and its ideals is characteristic of all members of the bund. 1219] [0ZZ I ROSTER FROEBEL KINDERGARTEN BUND SENIORS Inez Martin Claudia Phelps Janet Hart Esther Smith Gladys Edwards Elise Matzen Carrie Bogseth Eleanor Saunders May Hicks Blanche Ball Donney Smith Gertrude Killian Edith Johnson Genevieve Edwards Iva Ragains Bessie Stansbury Florence Randall Cuba Russell Jessie Etherton Lois Eld red Faye Warner Belva Anderson Alma Thompson Florence De Pew Wilma Donovan Elma Donovan Josephine Francis JUNIORS Emma Tounley Edna Woods Jennie Mitchell Irene McElhiney Lulu Lind ley Helyn Beynon Celia Mullin Mildred Meredith Myrtle Burton Marguerite Hookstra Bernice Johnson Clara Stauffer Clara Oh I Mildred Travis Mildred Walker Gladys Erb Margaret Copeland Helen Olson Dorothy Allen Doris Gamo Mae Marshall Mabel Bourne Marie Larmon OFFICERS Viola Harbert. President Evelyn Boyd, Secretary-Treasurer ADVISORS Miss Caldwell Miss Knutzen Lovie Cleaver A Rural Club was organized on. June 17, 1915 at the suggestion of President Dick. The officers were: President, Mr. Ben Wetsel; Vice President, Miss Della Bower; Secretary, Miss Evelyn McGuire; Executive Committee, Misses Luella Schoe. Ituth Jobe, and Mabel MacAbee. This organization met at Chapel time on Tuesdays and the programs consisted of lectures by faculty members. The club continued only during the summer term. Early in the summer of 1916 a group of about twenty people interested in rural school work met at Prof. Sipple’s home to discuss the advisability of reorganizing the Rural Club on a permanent basis. Plans here discussed were presented to a mass meeting of interested students with the result that the Kearney Rural Club came into existence in its present form on June 8, 1916. The main object of the club is to develop and to give practice in community leadership. Each program is a suggestion for a similar program in a rural com- munity. The programs usually consist of three parts (a) music including chorus singing, (b) a literary program, (c) plays and games. Students get actual practice by appearing on the programs and leading in the plays and games. Speakers from the faculty and the city appear on the programs from time to time. Another ob- ject of the club is to keep in touch with the members in the field and to render assistance In community work where possible. The membership is large, being composed of students from all classes in the school. Several faculty members are enrolled including President Dick. Like all young clubs, this one has had its “ups and downs” bul the members are ail enthusiastic and their loyalty and the reports from the fields of services rendered justifies its place among the student organizations of K. S. N. S. The attendance is always good. [ 223 J RURAL CLUR OFFICERS Summer, 1916 Mr, Hans Olsen .............. ♦ Miss Addle Spangler ............... Miss Gladys Burton ........ ...........

Gulick family, who for twenty years spent their summers camping on the Thames River in Connecticut, originated the first Camp Fire, Mrs. Gulick gave the camp the name Wohelo” from work, health and love, the essentials for a wholesome family life. From this came the sugges- tion. of a girls’ organization similar to the Boy Scout movement, A meeting to consider the forming of a national Camp Fire was held in New York City, in the Spring of 1911, and the organization occurred in March, 1912. Among those promi- nent in this first Camp Fire movement were Jane Addams, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Judge Ben E. Lindsey, Mrs, Russell Sage, Mrs. Sidney Lanier and Grace Dodge. Since that time thousands of Camp Fires have been organized to promote profitable enjoyable social life and to develop the home spirit. The Camp Fire teaches the girl to organize her home life and to meet cheerfully, the problems of bringing about home conditions of beauty, comfort, health, social happiness and wholesomeness in the community. It teaches her to care for her own health and the health of those about her. It prepares her to do good team work in matters of sanitation and in beautifying her town. Ll develops a love for nature and satisfies her craving for romance thru the impressive ceremonies which are used, it brings back the relations which have made it possible for mothers and daughters to work together. Probably the most important thing the Camp Fire does for the girl is to enable her to realize the nature of true social relations and to find adventure, romance, and happiness in human relationships of life and work. The Camp Fire is an organization which aims to bring power of organization and the charm of romance into the humble acts and needs of daily life. It is a deliber- f 229J ate attempt to help meet the new and splendid social world which is before us. There are more than three honors to be won thru personal attainment, involv- ing Hand Craft. Camp Craft, Home Craft, Nature Lore, Business and Patriotism. One ceremonial and one or more business meetings are held each month. In the business meeting honors are reported to the guardian and if approved, they are placed in the record book. At the next ceremonial meeting the beads are awarded for the honors by the guardian after the manner of earning them has been ex- plained. The Wood Gatherers rank is the first rank to be acquired. The girl at this time receives the silver Camp Fire ring and is recognised as a Camp Fire Girl. The second rank is that of the Fire Maker. And the third is the Torch Bearer. When the girl has attained this rank she may become the guardian of other camps. The ranks are given at ceremonial meetings and each has a separate sig- nificant ceremony. At the present time there are two camps at K. S. N. S. the Uncapapa organ- ized June 6, 1914, and the Puyallup, organized in September. 1917. Bach camp has an enrollment of twenty active members. Both are under the guardianship of Miss Alma Hosic. [230] CAMP FIRE COUNT It was in the month of Mad Moon When we maidens came together, For our feats around the fire. Where the great, green, pine trees shadow, Where the pine trees whisper softly. There we held our Camp Fire meeting There we built our Council Fire. There the smoke was seen distinctly. Rising up above the pine trees, Rising upward to the sky. As we came, we sang our camp songs, Stayed until the sun sank lower, Sank into the golden west. Then we maidens tired, but happy, Rose, and put the camp in order. With the last glow of the embers. And tne echo of the Camp songs Homeward went the happy maidens. Then upon a day soon after Met the camp of Uncapapa With the new Puyallup Council. Then we gathered in the wigwam Of our guardian, Yiawannah, Guardian of the Council Fire. With the signs we took our places Lit the mystic Camp Fire Candles, Work and Health and Love, a candle Each a symbol of the Fire, Many maidens joined our Camp Fire Joined with high desire and motive Joined for love of Wohelo. Talked we then of work and frolic And our plans for future councils, ’Till the fire burned low and lower ’Till our council time was o'er.

[ 232 J Thia year a new organization called The Dean's Council has b en introduced into the Kearney State Normal School to assist in furthering the best interests of the student body. This Council is composed of a girl representative elected from the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes, and from the Young Women's Christian Association, the Catholic Club, the As pa si an Society, the girls living at Green Ter- race Hall, the girls rooming in town, and the girls whose homes are in Kearney. The aim of the Council is to further in every way the spirit of unity among the young women of the school, to increase their sense of responsibility towards each other, and to be a medium by which thp standards of the school may be made and kept high. Meetings of all the girls of the Normal have been held occasionally, at which time social standards have been discussed, dwelling especially upon the aesthetic ideals of dress, table etiquette, and correct social usages. The girls have mani- fested much interest in these meetings, and have derived much benefit from them. During the month of April a pleasant afternoon was spent, at which time the ladies of the Nineteenth Century Club were the guests of the young women of the school. The afternoon was given over to the discussion of vocations for women, with Miss Mary C. Graham. Dean of Women at the University of Nebraska as the principal speaker of the afternoon. The tea and social hour which followed augmented the spirit of cordiality between the women of Kearney, and the girls of the school. The most interesting event which the Council brought to the school during the year was the Mothers’ party which was given in May. Every mother was invited to visit Kearney, and to be the guest of the young women of the school. It was at the suggestion of the Dpan’s Council that the members of the debat- ing team were presented with pins as a recognition of the honor they have con- ferred upon the school. The girls of the Council have taken much pleasure in their work with Dean Gardner, and it is their earnest desire that the Dean's Council may become a permanent organization of the Kearney State Normal School. i By the efforts of Mrs. Steadman an Investigation was made and it was found that in the Normal School as we]] as throughout the State there was a great lack of music. Most of Nebraska was practically undeveloped musically. Those who were interested In the musical department of this school wished to improve this situation and to develop a greater love and knowledge of music thruout the state and to especially promote the interest for better music in this school. The 'I best way to do this was through organization. By the help of Mrs. Steadman and Miss Margaret Dick the Kearney Music Supervisors Club was organized in May, 1911), with the definite purpose of establishing a helpful and congenial fellowship among those taking the Music Supervision Course, to help them to study the best music and to acquaint themselves with the musical world. It also stands ready to offer suggestions or materials which might be needed by the graduates of this department in their work.

As a proof of the aim of the Club, to acquaint ourselves with good music, we brought to our school and to the people of Kearney on July 5, 1916, a splendid recital by Mr. Montague Worlock, We quote from The Kearney Morning Times or July 6. 1916. “Over one hundred invited guests were charmed last evening by the lecture recital given by Mr. Montague Worlock, a pupil or Signor Francesco Lam pert i and for years principal baritone at the Milan Opera house at Milan. Italy, choir-master at the Cathedral in Bristol, England, and a noted teacher and artist. Mr. Worlock was assisted by Miss Florence De Pew, one of his pupils. To the members of the Kearney Supervisors club headed by Mrs. Grace Steadman the guests of the eveil- ing are indebted for this rare and delightful pleasure. For a short time before the group of songs by Mr. Worlock, he entertained his interested audience with quaint tales of student life in Italy, then told them, in a modest way that won their ad- miration, of one or two personal experiences among the hundreds that many of I23«l his friends who were there, knew had been triumphs. By the time the group of songs was reached, those who were present in Mrs. Steadman's study room at the Normal, where the recital was given, were delightfully prepared for the notable rendition of a big program. Miss De Pew, who assisted on the program, has been heard before by Kearney audiences. She has a fine soprano voice, which is showing marked development and promises her much prominence. Miss T)e Pew is a senior member of the club. The members of the Music Supervisors Club believe in working but they do not believe in neglecting the social life. After working hard during the summer of 191fi we decided to have a Tent. Party at Chautauqua which would help us to get better acquainted. There were about eighteen girls who occupied the Normal tent that night. It was such a musical bunch that we all sang ourselves to sleep. In the morning we started our camp fire early and cooked breakfast. We all hurried to our eight o'clock classes feeling that: we had had a grand time. Our first meeting this year was held at Miss Margaret Dick’s. A short meet- ing was held and following this was a program and social hour. One Saturday afternoon after the the Supervisors had their pictures taken we were all told to follow Mrs. Sidney Morrison. We found that ii paid to follow her that time for she entertained us at Armitage and Olson’s Drug Store with a delightful lunch. Tn February another meeting was held at Miss Margaret Dick’s. Both the Glee Club and Supervisors Club were entertained at a Valentine Party. The afternoon was spent in hunting hearts and cupids, and listening to musical selec- tions which were given by the members. WEEK OF SONG The National Movement for the week of Better Music furnished us the oppor- tunity of putting ourselves ‘on the Map not only in the eyes of the school, but before the town people as well. With the added influence of the City School Music Supervisors and Etude Musical of the City, who were very generous in their sup- port. many groups of people gathered together and sang the Old Favorites. those which will in time become the folk songs of America. The Sunday following. February twenty-fifth, a free “Community Sing was given at the Opera House. The first part of the program consisted of selections from the best American composers. The latrer part was given over to the singing of old songs by the entire audience under the direction of Mrs. Steadman. The Opera House was crowded with a very representative audience. People of every vocation and from all parts of town joined in the singing with the heartiest enthusiasm. Thru the influence of this concert many have purchased copies of the little book of “Favorite Songs which was furnished by the School for use that after- noon. The revival of the use of these songs in the American home will do much to combat the popularity of sentimental ragtime.” May the influence of the week of better music grow unit] better music becomes best music, and the week devoted to it, expands and includes the whole year. 12371 NORDICEAN GLEE CLUB OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester President ...........Mary Dick Minnie Conley Secretary=Treasurer .......Wilma Wallace Wilma Wallace Librarian .................Helen McCoy Charlotte Shick Accompaniest _______,._____Gladys Nelson Gladys Nelson Conductor, Miss Margaret Dick The Glee Club is one of the strong and popular organizations of the school with a membership of about forty. This club was organized in 1907 under Miss Bailey and has since been very successfully promoted thru the efficient leadership of Mrs. Grace Steadman. It is now completely organized with a president, secre- tary and treasurer, librarian, part. leaders and conductor, and meets regularly for practice once a week. It is called upon very frequently by different departments of the school to furnish numbers for special occasions, among them this year being, the Rural Life Conference, the Krlst Markt, the Y. W. C. A. Recognition Service and Com- mencement. The Club has become quite popular among the down-town clubs and societies, having appeared at the Elk's Memorial, at one of the municipal concerts and twice before the Woman's Club. The Wild Rose an operetta by Rhys Herbert was given on January 26th, and was a decided success, both musically and financially. This success is excellent proof of Miss Dick's ability as a conductor.

[254] 5mm A CLASS M A PAGEANT OF NEBRASKA TRADITIONAL {This burlesque was written in a spirit of merriment by Margaret Brown, a member of the class in Pageantry.) The stage is lit by I he rays of a green cheese moon. Thunder rolls dismally. At first we see only a pond of water which gradually dries up and discloses Nebraska, our land all covered with waving grasses. In among the grass we discover Nebraska’s first people. The men wear glowing green caps and the women have the “debutante slouch. The orchestra strikes up, Whose Pretty Baby Are You and a Fox-trot begins. As they dip, they chant in an unknown tongue 'Tsh ka bibble! I eh ka bibble!” During these weird movements and this uncanny chanting they disappear. The voice of the wind pronounces THE PROLOfr. There was a fair state called Nebraska, To give it thought, please I’ll ask ye Observe the clear sky And climate so dry, To raise a half crop sure 'twould task ye. Nebraska it used to be wild, The troubles it had are not mild: The Indians tney ate you. And all things did hate you. But, y°u stood on your feet and you filed. You built a sod house on your land. And you ate much of gravel and sand; You had nothing to drink Wrhen you wrent to the sink, So you drank from, the barrel on hand. So here’s to Nebraska, the state, You'll hear more of her wonderful fate; She’s tough but she’s true, And she'll deal well with you. If you’ll stick around here and just wait. [256] EPISODE I. THE PRAIRIE As the voice of the prolog dies away a band of desperate Indians dashes in on Shetland ponies in hot pursuit of a terrified, gasping, innocent, life-loving cotton- tail (The music is soft and tender). The cottontail, feeling that all is lost, turns at bay. With a jump he lands on chief No Scare” and with terrible scratching and biting he fights for his life. Thru the noise of the battle the chief shouts, Retreat” and the Shetlands dash off the stage to the right. The cottontail yawns, then goes on his way. EPISODE II. HITTING THE TRAIL In the glare of the brightest light coming swiftly down the Overland trail an emigrant party advances riding bicycles. Father does the pedaling. Mother sits on the handlebars with all their worldly possessions in one hand and with the other hand she leads the sturdy oxen. Behind them are the little ones with ruddy, glowing faces trying hard to keep their little tricycles up to the pace Father and Mother are setting, Bringing up the rear come Grandpa and Grandma gliding easily and gracefully on their roller skates. They camp for the noonday meal. Little brother sallies forth with his air gun and returns in a few hours with a huge buffalo. Then Mother makes soup in the chafing dish. Strawberry pop from the thermos bottle completes their simple meal. Grandpa mends his skate and strap and they turn their faces toward Oregon. ACT III. PONY AND PISTOL The scene is laid in a saloon and gambling den filled with a daring and des perate crowd of men. To the right, two of these are deep in a game of, Old Maid.” On the corner of the table is a pin paper with six pins missing. Wild John—(One of the players) Gracious, Willie, I thought I’d lost another pin that time. My knees fairly shook. Woolly Willie—Oh, dear, I don't give a continental who wins this game. My luck never was worth shucks. Would you like something to drink to make us feel good? (They saunter up to the bar and the man behind cowers as he meets their glowering countenances.) Willis—(Rumbling voice) Iced tea, please. John—Give me a malted milk and mind that you make it strong, too. There's nothing quite so strengthening as milk, you know. Woolly Willie—Say, please give me a nickel’s worth of those peppermint drops. My word! I almost forgot them and I must hurry too, 1 promised the boss' wife I’d churn at eleven—Good-bye. (He leaves, munching the peppermint drops.) [2571 A company of soldiers rides up on mules. As they dismount the cowboys hurl wet paper wads at them in rapid fire. In desperation the soldiers leap on their mules and ride off. (The music is loud and threatening). ACT. IV. TURNING THE SOD The wind blows fiercely. The sun shines down in a shimmer of heat and the ‘•■now plies up In huge drifts. A man struggles in -with a spade. Midst the tumult of the elements he spades awTay till he has turned up the whole stage. He stops, wipes his noble brow and gazes away. Oh! what is that he sees? A prairie fire! He drops his spade, takes from his hip pocket a tube of fire extinguisher and rushes to the rescue. ACT V. NEBRASKA TRIUMPHANT On the stage arranged in neat orderly rows are all the products of Nebraska. The beets, the onions, the wheat and cans of cream all placed in a beautiful color scheme. Encircling these come the people of the pageant. The cottontail joins hands with a squaw on one side and Grandpa of the roller skates on the other, and all together they whirl in a beautiful and fantastic dance around the cabbage and motley products. From the earth comes the voice of the Epilog in an appalling tone. At the first sound each character grasps a product and hastens off. Grandma is the last one to disappear, as she finds it rather difficult to carry off a ton of alfalfa and skate gracefully at the same time. The orchestra strikes up You Hain’t Heard the Half of It Yit” and the voice from the earth pronounces THE EPILOG We've told you the tale of Nebraska, How' you liked it we’ll surely not ask ye; But we’ll promise to you, Without further taboo, By no tales of the future we’ll task ye.

My father and grand- father were expert buyers and spent their lives buying and selling. I have spent fifty years as an educated buyer, and my business is to get the goods from the manufacturer to the consumer at the least expense and by buying direct from the factory and having goods made to order, and by buying in large quantities I have been able to get better prices and having no rent nor clerk hire I can sell at a less profit than the average dealer. One or two hundred miles is no distance to come when you consider the great amount I can save you and any shrewd buyer will appreciate the quality and price I can give you. This is why I have sold goods from Washington, I). C. to California, thirty-two bills in Lincoln last year as well as Kansas City and Omaha, and 1 have recently sent goods to Stonham, Colorado, Oshkosh, Brule, Sutherland, Vanango, Beaver City, Wilcox, Minden, Kearney, Gibbon, McCook, Hol- drege, Albion, Stella, Hastings, York, Giltner, Lincoln and Denver. Factor prices on Wilton Velvet rugs, 9x12, $37, my price $35; a rug that Montgomery and Ward sells at $31.12, I sell for $27.

Everybody wants it. Everybody knows the convenience and practical utility of electric household ap- pliances. Everybody wants them. Then why isn’t everybody’s house wired? Simply because some people are afraid of the man who does the wiring—and they are afraid of the bill that will follow. Let us ask you a simple question. How do you know, really, that you are afraid of the wiring man—or afraid of our bill? Let us talk these things over beforehand— tell you just how little it costs nowadays to put in the very best wiring—and let us show you how simple it is to do the work without the slightest inconvenience to you.
