Could we but know the worthy thoughts. That lie in the faculty’s minds, See the reasons for their testing. Could they judge our deeds by motive Know our worries and our woe Often they would love the Seniors, Could they know the hurried cramming. That precedes each awful test. They would feel our grades were better Or their efforts all for us. And their weary nights of working, If we did we’d be more just. We don't understand their bigness, Their thoughts and planning for each one Or we'd try to help, not hinder. The great work that they have done. Sometimes, of course, we judge them harshly. But at heart we know they're right. We appreciate their kindness As I’m sure they hoped we might. And in all the years to come. When we think back of each one. We will love the teachers better. For we’ll then have understood.—B. A., F. B. Know their motives and designs. Often we would judge them better. Than we ever think we could, We would find exams more easy If we only understood. Even though they flunk us so. For they’d know we've done our best. We don't know their cares and trials, Edith M. Smithey Assistant Registrar Though complicated out credits may be.

The Senior College class has an enviable record and a future that is most prom- ising. It was first organized as a class in the fall of 1916, but its history dates back to the founding of our Alma Mater which from its beginning had the right to grant the degree of Bachelor of Education. In 1918 the State Board granted K. S. N. S. per- mission to confer the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in Education. Since that year the growth of the Senior College class has been rapid and steady, as will be seen from a study of the statistics given above. And with its growth has come a wonderful broadening in the power and influence it wields over local student activities and educational affairs in general. Space here forbids the recording of all the accomplishments of the Senior College class. Mention, however, must be made of the bulletin published in 1919 to set forth the advantages of an A. B. Degree from a Normal School such as our own. Nor must we fail to note the booster campaign conducted by the class in 1920 by the giv- ing of programs in many towns and rural communities. While one of the aspirations of our school is to develop individual thinkers, yet this is only possible in its fullest sense now that we have a strong Senior College class. It should also be noted that the profession of teaching is strengthened by the Senior Col- lege class, for adequately trained teachers cannot be developed in less than four years— the minumim lime required for training in medicine and law. The Senior College class makes it possible to bring the best outside talent for periodic visits as was done last summer when a number of the nation’s greatest educators taught and lectured in our school. This in turn strengthens our student body by attracting people of poise and large experience. In this way the Senior College class sets the pace and standards of our institution. It helps to raise teachers’ salaries. It makes possible the training of persons for the advanced positions as supervisors and administrators. In short it helps to fill America’s greatest need—the need of adequately trained teachers. Ul --------- l92Tte BLUE GOLD «UBI Lula Wirt Class Sponsor Kearney w. L. Benedict Sutherland Y. M.

Folks, we are a class of Seniors,, A mighty lively class we say, Full of pep and full of ginger; Always laughing, always gay. We come from the East, We come from the West, From Dakota and Tennessee. To the very middle of the U. S. A.—1733. We've tall classmates and short ones. Some fat ones and some thin, But variety is the spice of life, In that we surely should win. We have almost completed our work at this place, Instructors we soon are to be. So we'll brush up our coats and fake a straight face And send applications—O Gee! And when on a day that is not far away We march down the long slippery aisle, We'll receive our diploma with outstretched arms And thank K. S. N. all the while. —Frances H.

This star gazing crystal proved to be a bald head. What did I see in that crystal while under the magic spell? I saw myself stand- ing beside an airplane built to resemble a human tongue. Gladys Carver, president of the National Athletic Association was very graciously presenting this prize to me for winning the new feature introduced in the international marathon races. I had won by manipulating the English language with my tongue ten times faster than any one of the numerous contestants. I thought to myself, “What year is this? On the airplane I read 1962. Upon receiving the plane I instantly desired to visit all the other seniors of 2 I that I possibly could during the vacation of one page. Into my vehicle I iprang and at once I was at the Kearney State Normal getting data from the placing bureau’s follow up reports. Petsch, our worthy president, was in Honolulu. He proved to be a man of many reforms, his latest being an attempt to censor evils there by his cartoons on the Hula Hula. From Honolulu I hastened to Phoenix, Arizona, where to my pleasure I found Florence Bruce, our annual editor, busily at work looking up the geneology of the senior class of 2 1 alphabetically. She had proved that Delia Garrett had revived the art that had made her great, great, great aunt famous, that of dressmaking, only Delia s fame depended upon the ar- tistic taste of making paper dresses for Philadelphia society. My next stop was Kanorada. Kansas, where I found Clyde Williams, a married man but famous, for he had invented an instrument that was the salvation of married men. It was similar to a thermometer as it registered the heat wavei caused from his wife’s temper and prophecicd what kind of a storm was brewing. As a regular tornado was in progress on my arrival and wishing to keep my neutrality, I left for Pittsburg, Pa., the smoky city. Then my bird took me across the continent to Lick Conservatory in California. I arrived just in time to see Edith McBride, who had amassed a fortune by her speeches and lost her voice, ready to take a trip to Mars by being shot from a big gun prepared for that purpose. I was so stunned that I soared away without any particular place in view. Sud- denly I felt a jar and beheld myself upon a mountain top and situated near me was a three room cottage. Out of curiosity I knocked on the door and was confronted by Glasner, Evans and Weeks who had been lost track of by the placing bureau. They were writing a book on the joys of bachelordom and believed in practicing what they preached. They seemed afraid of me so I bade them adieu and started for Alaska, according to the route they prescribed. My airplane landed in Nome, causing some consternation among the inhabitants. Whom should I see coming to meet me but Vern Crozier who told me that he was the President of this Agricultural school for the Esquimaux men and women in the North- land, and also that he had the two Petersons and a score of other senior girls on hii teaching staff. While here I discovered that my time was short and took leave in a hurry. Near- ing heme a government airplane passed me going the other way and I beheld Mary Lantz in the pilot’s seat. In endeavoring to attract her notice I lost contol of my air- plane and then— The lights went on in the picture show. A: r 3 m 19211 : 921e E ANP COLD GOLC IE® Junior History. Colors—Green and Gold.

John Sigler The class of 1922 which now consists of more than one hundred and thirty jolly juniors was organized September 20, 1918. Miss Hanthorne and Mr. Engleman acted as sponsors and have proved to be unusually good leaders. During the war the girls of the class spent much of their time helping the Red Cross. The members have always had a good time together during their freshman and sophomore years as well as during their junior year. They have always been willing to donate their services whenever they were needed. We started this year out right by having a weenie roast and bacon bat. We also took an active part in the All School Party. Later we had a Hard-Time Party which proved to be a huge success. One of the stunts of the evening was a mock wedding. Miss Roxana Erb and Mr. Claud Weimer were united in marriage by Rev. Chester Lynch. The couple entered to the strains of a wedding march by Miss Mabel Miller. Miss Helen Christenson and Mr. John Sigler acted as attendants. We decided to lead all the other classes and they will have to admit that wpe have done so. We have taught the seniors how to yell and have showed them that wpe could sing the junior song better than they could sing the senior song. We knowr that they like ours better anyway. One interesting feature given by the junior class was the stunt which was put on in convocation. This was a mock senior class meeting in which various juniors ably im- personated the different seniors, Henry Crozier acted as president Petsch; Florence Miller as Laura Rundle (secretary): Claud Weimer as Clyde Williams: Eunice Brothers as Katharine Martin; Genevieve Clark as Bernice Ashburn; Katherine Black as Vinnie Shawkey; Richard Berga as Ilia Weeks; Mabel Miller as Florence Bruce and Mr. Engleman played the part of senior class sponsor (Mr. Pate). It was stated that as the seniors had no talent it would be necessary to call on the juniors to give a program at this meeting. The program was as follows: Vocal Selections Misses Christenson, Reading .............................. Xylophone Solo ....................... M. Miller and Walker Ruby Morris Mr. Church The juniors also showed the seniors how they yell SENIORS. We are proud of the work our class has done and are sure that the class of 1922 always be remembered as one of the best classes in the Kearney Normal School.

There are two kinds of extension work regularly done by the State Normal at Kearney. These are work done by correspondence and through study center classes. The work done in study center classes is very much to be preferred to that done in cor- re pondence, mainly for the reason that the work is more thorough than can be done in correspondence, and also is done under the direct, personal instruction and supervision of a number of the faculty of the Normal School. The aim of study center work is to provide class instruction and offer college credit work to those who are in the service of teaching and who therefore, cannot do residence study, but nevertheless desire to carry on their study and professional training. This is a most laudable ambition and should be encouraged. No teacher is quite so dead as the one who has lost her professional ambition. The scope of work done in study center work covers a wide range of subject mat- ter a$ well as extensive territory. At the pre:ent time the Normal has organized and is now conducting through its regular faculty more than thirty study center classes in dif- ferent parts of the state. Clashes are organized at points where Len or more pupils can come together about once every two weeks for group study. The student pays three dollars for each semes- ter hour of college credit the course offers. The traveling and other expenses connected with the work are borne by the Normal School. BLUE GOLD R u The Training School In learning the art of teaching there are three principal steps: (1) the attainment of knowledge of subject matter; (2) the study of the theory of teaching; (3) practice teafhing. It is for the sake of training student-teachers in correct habits of teaching that the training school primarily exists. At the same time, it is a well recognized principle that in a training school the welfare of the pupils is not to be neglected. The photo- graphs accompanying this article will demonstrate that the pupils in the training school are receiving all the advantages of a modern education. Perhaps one of the most striking features of the school is the care taken of the pupils' health. Pupils are subject to a careful physical examination by the school nurse. A complete physical record and health history of each child is kept on file in the school for the use of the teachers in determining what is best for the welfare of the child. Physical education is given considerable time under adequate direction. Pupils have the advantage of a splendid gymnasium and swimming pool. Conditions in the rooms are very superior on account of the fact that the number of children admitted is limited. The children of the training school have exceptional opportunities to engage in musical and dramatic productions of high merit under the direction of the very be t talent the Normal School affords. In the future this activity will be much extended. One of the new developments along this line is the organization of the high school or- chestra. While physical education, music, and similar activities are of great importance, it is recognized that schools were founded primarily to teach pupils the knowledge which is contained in books. Student-teachers are made familiar with up-to-date methods of teaching the various school subjects by observation of good teaching in the training school and by practice in correct methods of teaching. Great emphasis is laid upon elicient silent reading, project-problem instruction, and the use of economical and efficient de- vices in the different subjects of in:truction. Pupils in the elementary grades are en- gaged in the study of problems in local life and history which requires for complete de- velopment, wide reading and co-operative work as a social group. It is the aim of the training school to bring the student-teacher into contact with work of the most approved type known at the present time. To the outsider the least interesting feature of tine work of the training school is the training of teachers; it is less spectacular as an activity and less understood by peo- ple in general than other phases of school work. From the standpoint of the Normal School, it is, however, of extreme importance. Therefore, proper emphasis is laid upon good teaching through observation of teaching in the junior year and through practice teaching in the senior year. The purpose of the latter is to train the student in proper habits of teaching and to give him ideals of right method which he will carry on and perfect in later years. Close personal supervision, demonstration and conferences form the devices used to perfect the student-teacher in his work. „ T92IH Q FIRST AND SECOND GRADES 1921 KINDERGARTEN GROUP. BLUE GOLD AND : Summer School Policy. For the cummer school of 1920 the institution timidly ventured on a new and far- reaching policy for the conduct of the cummer term. The extraordinary large enroll- ment that characterizes the sessions held during the vacation term of elementary and secondary schools demonstrated that there was a widespread and tremendous interest in professional work, hence there was a greater opportunity to do constructive work with professional teachers than ever during the regular year. Arrangements were made whereby the very best educational talent in the United States was brought to the institu- tion during June and July. Thece prominent educators conducted classes and gave con- vocation addrersej during the time they were present. These celebrities ministered to the needs of Nebraska during the cummer term of 1920: Dr. Geo. D. Strayer, of Columbia University: Dr. W, F. Russell, University of Iowa: Dr. Wm. M. Davidson. Superintendent of City Schools, Pittsburg. Pennsyl- vania: Superintendent J. H. Beveridge, Omaha, Nebraska; Professor J. W. Searson, Kansas Agricultural College. Manhattan. Kansas; Dr. Howard R. Driggs, New York City; Professor C. H. Sargent, Ft. Collins, Colorado. The inspiration and professional morale imparted by this array of talent has already had a far-reaching effect. For the coming summer term, June 6 to July 29, 1921, the array of talent is as follows: Dr. Geo. D. Strayer, Columbia University, June 6 to June 17; Dr. M. V, O'Shea, University of Wisconsin, June 8, 9, 10; Professor J. W. Searson, Kansas State Agricultural College. June 23, 24, 25; Superintendent J. H. Beveridge, Omaha, June 27, 28, 29; Professor Burges Johnson, Vassar College, June 30, July 1 ; Dean Hattie Moore Mitchell, Pittsburg, Kansas, July 14, 15; Superintendent M. C. Lefler, Lincoln, Nebr., July 18, 19; Dr. Ernest Horn, University of Iowa, July 20, 21, 22. This policy, if continued, can but powerfully affect all schools of Nebraska, from the colleges down to the lowest grade of the primary. Nothing in professional life is more invigorating than the introduction of new ideas and ideals from educational sources outside the immediate environment. Faculties are stimulated, students are energized, and school interests in general feel the nourishment of great minds that are establishing ideals and fixing policies throughout the Nation. G ■ ' BT.UF, AND CiOI.D Teachers Placing Bureau. The Teachers’ Placing Bureau of the Nebraska State Normal at Kearney was established during the year 1918-19. It serves as a clearing house for the prospective teachers and the public schools of the State of Nebraska. While it endeavors to serve particularly alumni and former students of this school, the bureau has been called upon many times to serve teachers who have never attended here and schools which are located beyond the confines of Nebraska. Our policy has been to recommend only qualified teachers to superintendents and boards of education, teachers whom we feel, under the conditions stated, ought to make good. If at any time, we have no available qualified candidate for a given position, we are glad to submit the credentials of the best we have and to state the exact merit of the candidate. The work of the bureau has extended throughout the entire school system—the kindergarten, the grades, the high school, including principalship and superintendency. The bureau is composed at the present time of four members of the faculty, H. O, Sulton, chairman, Department of Physical Science; Lula M. Wirt, Dean of Women; M. 5. Pate, Department of Mathematics; G. A. Yoakam, head of the Training School, It becomes the duty of this committee to look into the scholastic and professional record of all names presented to them for placing. The information thus gained and classified becomes the basis of their evaluation of the candidate. The bureau has also inaugurated a follow' up work which promises to be a very valuable asset to the school and teaching fraternity. Wc are pleased to learn of a teacher’s success and to help her or him to a larger field of opportunity. We also desire to know' of any failures and to find out the reasons for the same that we may be able to better serve both teacher and school. 1 The advantages of such a bureau to both teacher and school have been proven be- yond question. With about two thousand calls from boards and superintendents and the placing of about five hundred teachers during the past two years, the schools have been, in the main, better equipped and the teachers more favorably placed than they otherwise might have been. The schools of this part of the state are looking more and more to this institution for assistance in securing teachers. The demand for capable teachers greatly exceeds the supply. The services of this bureau are free of cost to school officials, to teachers who are graduates or former students of this institution, and to other teachers who desire to avail themselves. The bureau desires to co-operate with school officials in all ways that will make for the more effective placing of teachers. Teachers desiring to enroll will send to the Placing Bureau for enrollment blanks. I 19211 BLUE GOLD Y. M. C. A. ROOM. y. M. C. A. The past year has been a prosperous one for the Y. M. C. A. and it is now on an excellent footing with a rapidly increasing list of members. No magic process has caused this growth of the organization, but the interest and support of the men has been gained by the excellency of the programs and by real work. Speakers were secured to speak on subjects which interested and helped the men, and then, in a subsequent pro- gram, the problem would be turned over to an open forum discussion by everyone pres- ent. At the first of the year, on the 22nd of September, the Annual Watermelon Feed was given by the Y. M. C. A. Every real man in school attended and made it a gen- uine get-acquainted affair. Again, on November 3, the men got together under the auspices of the “Y in a regular stag party. Some of the fellows played basket ball while others engaged in the kinds of acrobatic or athletic stunts which they liked best. Such get-together affairs pro- mote a feeling of unity among the men and help to get them acquainted with the work of the Y. M. C. A, The financial affairs of the Y. M. C. A. have also been well managed and the records now shove them to be in good shape. Although over two hundred and fifty dol- lars have been expended in furnishing the “Y” room, which is in the gymnasium, fur- ther investments in a piano and other necessities are contemplated. Such improvements have made the room a well furnished, home-like den where the fellows can spend their leisure time. Another important branch of the financial activities is the fund which is kept in reserve to aid young men in the school who are in need of help. This part of the work represents real service and is greatly appreciated. Y. W C. A. CABINET. BLUE GOLD y. w. c. a. The Y. W. C. A. was made a part of the Nebraska State Normal School at Kearney in the fall of 1905. The purpose of the organization is to help the young women of the school get a vision of better living and an inspiration for greater service. Each week there is held a devotional meeting which is very helpful and uplifting. The executive officers of the organization consist of the president, secretary and cabinet officers. The cabinet is composed of seven girls who are die chairmen of the various committees. The Y. W. C. A. has a large and attractive reception room with a well equipped rest room and kitchenette. The expenses of the year arc covered by funds obtained from the Holiday Festival and the selling of candy, pennants, etc. This work is under the supervision of the finance committee. During the year there are many social events, including an annual banquet given to the members in the fall and an all school “Washington” party in February. Beside the special parties, teas are given during the year, which are attended by all girls of the school. The proceeds from the Holiday Festival have been used for the furnishing of the Y. W. C. A. rooms. This year quite a surplus was left which has been made into a permanent loan fund. This fund is to be loaned to young women of the Normal who desire financial aid while attending school. It is hoped that from year to year this fund may be increased, thus enabling the Y. W. C. A. to help more students. BLUE AND GOLDIE Catholic Students Association The Catholic Students Association, which was organized in the early history of the Normal, is a distinctly Christian organization. For the past nine years, under the sponsorship of Prof. B. H. Patterson, the club has carried on very creditable work in the study of Catholic belief and practices and reviews of Catholic literature. The rocm which has been so elegantly furnished by the Nebraska Knights of Columbus is a pleasant place in which to hold weekly meetings. The generosity and in- terest in the work of the association shown by the Knights of Columbus is inspirational to the students. Several social gatherings are held during the year. I he students show a splendid spirit of co-operation in school activities and in the affairs of the local parish. BLUE and GOLD Kearney Rural Club Gladys Carver ................. President Edna West ........... Secretary-Treasurer Clyde William5 .......... . Vice President Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Powell Sponsors The Kearney Rural Club was organized during the summer of 1916 under the sponsorship of Professor L. B. Sipple, then of the Rural Department. Hans Olsen was made it’s first efficient president. During this initial summer the club enrolled a hundred members. Since that time the organization has had a continuous and steady growth, and has not only grown in number but in influence and service. Five years later, the summer of 1920, found Han Olsen president of the club again. Hans could now count his members by two’s rather than by one’s as he did back in the summer of 1916. For now the organization has not one hundred members but two hundred. This large membership during the summer of 1920 easily made it the largest organization ever found in Kearney Normal school. These figures only go to show the strong appeal the club has for the student body. In this connection it is an interesting fact that half of the pre:ent membership are from other departments than the rural de- partment. This certainly shows the club’s wide influence and application. The picture found in connection with this article compared with pictures found in earlier annuals will give a striking illustration of the increased strength of the organiza- tion during the regular school year. The enrollment for the winter quarter has run up to such numbers as make it the largest organization during the present regular year, as you can readily see by comparing pictures in this annual. But mere membership does not mean so much as the fact that we have had a regular attendance of sixty people at the weekly meetings during the past six months. At times there have been as many as seventy-five on the floor engaged at folk dancing. We speak of this matter of attend- ance because it is the result of definiteness on the part of the officers and program com- mittee in planning good programs. We have featured two main classes of programs this year. First, the educational and community interest lectures by people of experience and ability found outside the membership of the club. Some of these people have been out-of-town educators, as well as fellow townsmen educators. In the second place we have featured programs by stu- dents and members of the club. These programs have not been of the old type, made up only by readings and music, but they have been programs that demand initiative and originality in the planning and carrying out. And it goes without saying that they al- ways function in the solution of rural problems. The club feels complimented in that there fine programs have attracted many visitors from the student body and from the town. We trust that the future of the club may be as happy and prosperous as the pres- ent year has been. For it is in this organization that students learn the importance and the art of community building and leadership; many would not get this ability elsewhere. The greatest step forward in education during the last twenty-five years has been that of community education, community education along the lines of recreation, entertainment and moulding public opinion. It is this great program that we learn of each Tuesday night at our meetings. The success of this comparatively new club is due to an enthusiastic membership and an efficient bunch of officers at all times. Above we present the names of officers only, it being too impractical to present such a large list of members. But we have at least tried to represent the spirit of the membership as accurately as possible in what we have said about our club. j 92lt£== - 5� BLUE and GOLD 1921c Rl.l JR and HOT n (2 a ■� Emanons Among the societies which are really doing things in the school, the Emanon so- ciety stands in the foremost ranks. With a history dating back to the beginning of the school, the organization has seme ideal traditions to live up to as well as a future to adorn with records of great work. One of the big events in the history of the Emanons during the past year was the debate with the Arpasians, which took place on November I 8. Although one of their speakers was taken sick a few minutes before the debate, the other two men went into the battle and inrcmerged with cne vote of the judges, while the girls had secured two. Partially to prove that they were good losers and partially to promote co-operation and good will between the societies, the Emanons then invited the Aspasians to join in a banquet, which was held December 2. This banquet was the first in which both or- ganizations ever took part and was an immense success. Another of the valuable objectives toward which the Emanons have been working is the development of prospective debaters. Believing that debating is the best single activity in preparing students for an active part in life, the society has constantly en- deavored to help the men cf the school to become proficient in this art. Although the list of members was rather rmall at the first of the year, it has been steadily growing and the present organization consists of a large group of real live men. There is no room for “dead' or disinterested people in the Emanons and experience has shown that such people are soon eliminated. Dcbalinq Debating has always aroused a great deal of interest in K. S. N. and especially keen is the interest which has been exhibited this year. The victories of last year have done much to encourage those wfho have hopes of entering into the contests this season. Debating, to the debater, is the absorbing passion, the supreme test of ability. Have you ever known a man, who, having once played football, is not always eager to get back into the game? Likewise, we challenge you to show us a debater who does not thrill at the challenge of the “Resolved: that—” Not only does debating have a positive effect upon the individual, but it also deep- ens the respect for a school, A school which has a successful debating team, or which is known to encourage debating, has the enthusiastic support of people who are doubtful about athletics; while the school which combines debating and athletics is one w hich commands favor and respect from everyone. It is, therefore, writh intense enthusiasm that students are taking up debating this year. Eleven students tried out February 5: Edith Meyer, Hester Green, Edith Mc- Bride, Clara Stephens, Claude Weimer, Rollie Bunney, Ua Weeks, Lee Wells, Ed- ward Hanson. Henry Crozier and Guy Pickett. With the loyal support of K. S. N, boosters, the assistance of Coach Phillips, and the ambition of the debaters, how can the debate season be other than interesting and successful? in � S t Aspasian Literary Society If Aspasia herself had been in K. S. N. during this year, and had been elected sponsor of the club named in her honor, the Aspasian Literary Society should have ex- perienced great difficulty in surpassing the record which it has made under the sponsor- ship of Miss Riggs. Primarily, when one is an Aspasian, one is expected to do things, and so one does them. It does not matter whether it is straightening out a tangle of parliamentary law, or beating the Emanons at debate. Both are accomplished to the satisfaction of As- pasia, before the task is called complete. The Aspasian is socially as well as practically inclined. For one evening, the As- pasiam and Emanons forgot their deadly rivalry, and met in friendship at a joint ban- quet. To be an Aspasian means to be a keen and ready thinker, it means to be in pos- session of self-control and self-re:pect, it means to be a good winner, and as good a loser. It means to have ideas and it means to have a good «tart on the road to success, for whoever has ideas which are worth while, and which she can express is “truly master.’ 1=219211 MS BLUE and GOLD Dramatic Club @ i Under the expert supervision of Mrs. Doris Smith the K. S. N, Dramatic Club presented a number of programs and plays during the term of 1920-2 I. On November 19, a Chautauqua Night, consisting of musical numbers, readings, Living Pictures. Chalk Talks, and The Clod,” a Civil war play, was presented in the Normal auditorium. The management of the Y. W. C. A. Orpheum December 19, was given over to the dramatic club. Members of the club pre;ented several numbers of the program, in- cluding Overtones, a short play showing the dual personalities of two society women of New York. A rural play, The Vision of the Homeland, was given January 28, This was also given at Glenwood Amherst and Poole under the auspices of the Rural Club in the interest of consolidated schools. Another play has been planned for the rpring quarter and the club has agreed to present three numbers of the Normal Lyceum course for 1921-22. Officers.

It offers additional opportunity for practice in hearing and speaking French and for acquiring a broader and more sympathetic understanding of French life and French people. Games, “eats” and “hikes” not only help to create a French atmos- phere, but also give a sense of freedom and good fellowship which are indispensible to a realization of the purpose of the club. The monthly programs consist of the usual plays, recitations, songs, etc. Some of the most interesting programs of the year were: A dramatization of a scene from iMoliere's Le Malade Imaginaire, French ghost stories, a Christmas play, dramatization of anecdotes and musical programs. Le Cercle Francais is helpful to all students of French, but e pecially so to those who are preparing to teach the language. The club is open for membership to all of the French department and to all others who are especially interested in French. Active members must have had one semester of French. First semester students may be asso- ciate members. ACADEMY OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS, BLUE GOLD £ Academy of Science and Mathematics The Academy of Science and Mathematics is an organization which dates from March 4, 1916. The aim of the organization is to encourage and develop student initi- ative in modern scientific research. Its members are some of the most active and en- thusiastic students of the institution who avail themselves of the opportunity of exchang- ing thoughts and comparing ideas in scientific investigation. It is intended for students who are majoring in these subjects, but visitors are always welcome to the monthly meet- ings where very interesting current topics are discussed. Faculty members likewise find it an inspiration and an aid to co-operation between the departments which depend to a greater or less degree upon each other. The year's programs have added much interest to the meetings. “The Mechanism of the Automo- bile, by Claude Weimer; Supervised Study in Mathematics,” by Mr. Pate; The Animal Mind, by Miss Esther Enochson; “How Statistics Aid in Arithmetic, by Miss Alma Turley, indicate the kinds of material discussed. The organization is truly a live one, filled with wide awake enthusiastic people. Kindergarten-Primary Club Bow Wow Wow Come on my little master; Come let's race To see who runs the faster. It would be difficult to find a club more enthusiastic than the Kindergarten-Pri- mary Club for it is among the first every time in work, play and get-to-gether spirit for the school. The club organized early in the year with thirty-six members, and meets once a month for a social time. The new girls are subject to a critical inspection and pass through such a trying period of initiation that only the best looking, the best behaved and the best all round girls in school are eligible for membership. The club carries on seasonal activities, has stunt nights, and progressive parties. It has its annual banquet in the kindergarten room, an annual children's party and an annual May breakfast. At this last meeting officers are elected for the ensuing year. Best wishes are extended to all club members and hopes expressed that all members might meet again. The Kindergarten-Primary Club belongs to the International Kindergarten Union and hopes to be represented at the meeting to be held this year in Detroit, Michigan. Our motto for this year is Catch us if you can. KINDERGARTEN-PRIMARY CLUB Abluis gold CAMP FIRE CLUB. Camp Fire On the second day of the Hunting Moon At the call of Ya i wah-nah, Gathered all the Indian Maidens Gathered in from reservations, Corning in from other Councils To the camp of Uncapapa. Old and new alike made welcome By the guardian, Ya-i-wah-uah. All are friends around the Camp Fire. Each one sounds the greeting. ’‘Kolah. Plans were made for other meetings, Plans for health crusades and service. Then the happy council ended Ended thus with songs and laughter. When the Autumn Moon had reddened. And the leaves were falling fast All the Indian Maids assembled. Came they then with baskets laden And their hearts with love united. Tramping over MU and valley With their merry songs and laughter Reached at last the goal they sought for. Reached the Park of Glenwood Forest, Opened then their baskets many And a feast before them lay. Feast to charm the heart of maiden. While they rested from their journey. Chanted they the songs of Camp Fire. Sang the songs of Uncapapa. Listened they to words of wisdom From the guardian. Ya-i-wah nah. Then with happy hearts and singing They began the homeward journey. Thus spoke worthy Ya-i-wah-nah. To the Maidens of the Camp Fire. To the shy young Indian Maidens All the world must know our secret, We, to them must send the message Of the spirit of the Camp Fire.” At the waning of the Snow Moon, When the Hunger Moon had risen. Met the Maidens then together Met them on the stage together, Where with true dramatic efforts Told the story of the Camp Fire Told of Work and Health and Love. Of the true Wohelo symbol. From the words of charming Firefly Magic words of Wnh-wah-taysee, Each one learned the useful lesson That 'tts she must And the Treasure, And ’tis she must send the message To her sister far and near. Of love to every living creature Love that comes from serving others. NE go; ) c DEAN’S COUNCIL, The Dean's Council The Dean’s Council was organized in 1917 under the direction of Miss Gertrude Gardner, former dean of women and has always been an important factor in the pro- motion of student activities, 7 he policy of the council is not to advance its own interests� but to further in every way any project or activity of the whole school or the various organizations. Its aim is always to promote a spirit of unity among the students and assist in upholding the highest of standards. 7 he girls’ meetings, held each month, arc under the supervision of the Dean's Council. During the past year, much time was given to problems relating to Woman Citizenship. Excellent talks on topics preliminary to The First Vote” were given by Mrs, Sutton, Miss Jennings and Miss Riggs. At the February meeting, a playlet writ- ten by the Misses Elvera Anderson, Mabel Nelson and Pauline McVey was dramatized by the council girls. The play in an attractive form, presented the problems of dress and many social usuages which come to girls in their early college years. The council members feature greatly in the social life of the school, assisting Miss Wirt in many of the all school functions, ruch as the Harvest Party, which was A Get Acquainted Party” for all the girls and faculty ladies; also helping her in a series of teas for the girls at the home of .Mrs. Steadman, as well as the tea for the two hundred hostesses, who so graciously opened their homes to the summer students. The May Party, the All School Formal” is always planned and given by the girls of the coun- cil. The fourth annual event of this nature was in the form of a Japanese Party. A most artistic May-pole dance, directed by Miss Knutzen, and Japanese dances and songs and many group games, furnished a wonderful evening to the entire school. rt.iie and gold cd'--ajr Department of Health Education The Department of Health Education of the Kearney Normal School began its ex- istence about November 1, 1920 with the securing of a school nurse. A room on the third floor of the gymnasium building was made ready and equipped for health exami- nations and dispensary service. This office was ready for work January 3, 1921 and has been in constant use since opening. It is the aim of the department to extend the knowledge of prevention of disease and its practical application throughout the school. The saving of loss of school time alone would make this department worth while. School health work is much broader than the discovery and treatment of physical defects. It includes the activities which will establish health habits, instruction in hygiene which gives teachers an active interest in showing results in better health condi- tions among the children, and less school time lost by preventable di:ease; sanitation and physical education are also developed as a part of every school program. At present, teachers are required by the law of Nebraska to make an examination for certain physi- cal defects which retard the children’s progress in school, as well as lay the foundation for continued ill health and oftentimes result in chronic invalidum. Health examinations made in the grades of this Normal School since this depart- ment has been established reveal that over one half of the pupils in the grades are un- derweight. Many, after receiving their weight record, are anywhere from ten to twenty pounds underweight and are following instructions given by this department, thereby gaining in weight. Immunity to disease depends largely on healthy red-blooded cells. These cells are created in the body by a sufficiency of nutritious food. Common errors in the feeding of children are frequently revealed when one shows interest in the undernourished class and inquires into other dietary. Teachers will be given an opportunity soon to make a special study of this group, finding the cause and observing its remedy. Combining with the Home Economics de- partment of this school, the Health department will establish a nutritional clinic where the undernourished may obtain lunches at cost and build up their weight and health, while others learn how it may be carried out in their schools when they find the same problem. ( This department will also extend an opportunity to those interested in taking a course in Home Nursing. Demonstrations and lectures will be given and the course will be made a very practical one. Many other plans are developing for health projects— plays, pageants and numerous health programs will be furnished throughout the year. The health examinations and teaching includes every department of the Normal School and its affiliated schools. It is a busy department, combining health instruction and nursing care for any who are ill. Health, in the sense of a strong, enduring, disease-resisting, flexible, responsive body mechanism, is quite as much a matter of acquisition as is ability in playing the piano or ability to manage men. There are differences in native endowment, to be sure, but each individual must earn health by obeying the laws of health, just as he must de- velop any other endowment. Health, like happiness, is to a large extent a matter of habit. If it is to be taught successfully it must be practiced and its simple principles must be observed. Health first in the schools’’ should he the aim of parents and teachers until its echo has returned every school child in fit physical condition to benefit by education. Let us waste no more lives from preventable disease. Everywhere there is a de- mand for teachers who can teach health. Are you one of them? If not prepared— here is your opportunity.—Kearney Normal School. Lillian B. Stuff, R. N., Director of Health Education and School Nurse. ■u f r - l 1921 BLUE AND GOLD RT.UP, and fjf)T F) b jteg aaBa va®l@ The Band. The Normal School band is one of our most useful and valuable organizations. Under the able direction of Prof, B. H. Patterson, the band has improved the quality of its work, until it is now second to no other in the state. Aside from the unusual op- portunity for musical training offered to students, the band adds much to the spirit of athletic and social events, at which it willingly appears whenever called upon. The band gives a splendid concert each year which always provokes favorable comment from critics in school and in the city. G The Orchestra. Every student of the school has heaid of the Normal orchestra before he comes to Kearney. This organization is probably the best known of any of its kind in the mid- dle west. Wherever music is required, whether it be of the highest classical type or the latest in the so-called popular melodies, the school or the city need only call upon Prof B. H. Patterson and the members of his orchestra and professional service will be ren- dered. To Professor Patterson much credit is due for the success of this organization. His efforts to improve and promote orchestra work for the benefit of the school are untiring and are appreciated by the student body and faculty. Hester Mallory .. M a belle Wilkie Ruby Bliss Margaret Black The Glee Club was organized in 1907 under Miss Bailey and was successfully promoted through the leadership of Mrs. Grace Steadman. The direction was then taken up by Mrs. Margaret Steadman, and Mrs. Grace Steadman is now leader. It is completely organized, having a president, secretary and treasurer, librarian, part leaders and a conductor. The chorus meets twice a week and one credit is given each quarter. Last year the girls went on a trip, giving concerts, and tins year they are making a very extensive trip, putting on a varied program. Music Supervisors Club The Music Supervisor’s Club was organized in May, 1916, with the definite pur- pose of establishing a helpful and congenial fellowship among those taking the music supervision course, to help them to study the best music and acquaint themselves with all the happenings of the musical world. It is ready at any time to offer suggestions or materials which might be needed by the graduates of this department in their work. During good music week the special programs given, and the stress put on good music is under the auspices of the music supervisors club, — 1 BLUE GOLD LYDE WILLIAMS. Business Manager. HEETHA CHRISTOFFERSQN, Editor. The Anlclope. The Antelope, our weekly school publication, was first issued on September I. 1910, with Lester Chadderton as editor and Lam on t Stephens as business manager. At this time it measured eleven by sixteen inches, and existed entirely on advertising and subscriptions. Hence fifty per cent of its space was devoted to advertising. But the Antelope was even at that date an agile creature. It grew rapidly, keep- ing pace with the great institution which it sought to represent before the public. Even before the year was over, it had grown to twelve and one half by eighteen inches. For some years it avoided the warm weather, but by nineteen seventeen it had gathered strength sufficient to surmount even this and we had our first summer school issue. In the summer of 1920, through the establishment of the contingent fee fund, the Antelope was placed on a sound financial basis so that it was possible to cut down ad- vertising space to 33 per cent. We look forward to eliminating it entirely in the near future. Another vital improvement occurred in September, 1920, when Mr, Alfred Neil- sen took charge of the paper. Through his efforts it grew from a publication of a purely high school type to a live professional paper. The educational notes, added at this time, have an important part in acquainting Antelope readers with the progress of education. This, then, is the aim of the Antelope management, not only to acquaint students and alumnae with the affairs of the school, but to place before them, constantly, the high standards and aims of the teaching profession. Thus may the students continue to derive inspiration from the spirit of their Alma Mater, ] 1921c JANITORS. The Boys' Janilor Job. Work on the janitor force provides a means for young men to pay part� and in many instances the greater part, of school expenses, ] he jobs are divided into de- partments. From eight to ten rooms, with some hallway, is a department that ordinar- ily takes two hours a day to sweep, dust and mop, so from four to six o’clock on each school day is cleaning time, Saturday is the general cleaning day. The boys put in ten hours of work on that day. We have eleven departments. With two working in the library this provides employment for a force of twelve. Our best boys are the boys who rank highest in class work. It should be the pride of each one to keep his department the best. Our motto is: “Learn to Do the Com- mon Thing Uncommonly Well. m rnmm o BLUE GOLD LJ Forrest Gorin Shelton End On account of his speed, Gorin played both end and half back. He filled the positions like a Celeron, bringing woe and misery into the camp of the enemy. Arthur Petsch Milford End From his position at end he brought down his man without fail, regardless of size, and Was always there to re- ceive a pass. W. L. Benedict Spencer Guard Benedict’s playing could not be measured by his size. He stopped many a play before it Was under way.

As a defen- sive player he showed his mettle in getting his man. Charles Neale Stapleton Center At center Neale played a sterling game. He was a stonewall when the opponents directed a play through his position. Kenneth Newcomb Kearney Quarterback hough a small man, he had the fighting qualities, made many a good gain and directed the plays as Well. BLUE and GOLD yy- Q- BLUE ANP GOLD 1920 Football The season opened with bright prospects for K. S. N. and much enthusiasm was shown by the school. Our new coach. Ozmun, succeeding Hugo Otoupalik, was well pleased with the first turnout of twenty-six men. Among the:e were Albin, Benedict, Calhoun. Cameron, Clinite, Cochrane, Gorin, Keens, Kummer, McVaney, May. Nelson, Panek and Reeves. Also some of last year’s veterans, as Croft, Newcomb, Petsch, Smith and Vest. Homer Kummer, who played on the local high school eleven was elected captain. The first game at Central City with Nebraska Central, was hard fought and won by the Kearney team. The second game was lost to York College by the close score of 13 to 0. Capt. Kummer’s booting featured, eipecially when we were in danger. Then came trouble. Some of the men persisted in disregarding training rules. Coach Ozmun started house-cleaning and the result was that most of our best players were out of the line-up. Misunderstandings resulted and there was created ill-feeling between members of the team and the school. Gathering up the remnants of his team. Coach Ozmun sent them against Peru. Of course, Peru had supremacy in weight, speed and practice and walked off with all but the morale of our warriors. Our men won the respect of the Peruvians by the dogged way in which they kept fighting when against such mighty odds. Nearly all were more or less crippled, Albin getting a sprained ankle. Bill Reeves breaking his leg while mak- ing an end run, Croft having a rib cracked and Petsch getting knocked out. Luckily for us however, the Peru field was void of sand burrs for which we were thankful. A mighty spirit seemed to rise up inside of old K. S. N. More men volunteered— Bunney, Charring, Larson, McNeil, Neale and Weeks. Our girls were behind us to their utmost. Pep meetings preceded each game. Claude Smith was chosen captain for the remainder of the season. On November 4, Grand Island invaded and won with a large score, although the local men were in better trim. Kummer’s boot again saved us in many tight pinches. On Armistice day, Cotner University played here and also won, carrying off both their and our end of the score. The last game of the season was with Midland College on the local field. Newcomb playing quarterback; Nelson, full; Smith and Bunney, halfs. Speedy” Albin was back in the game much to the rooters’ delight. The following men received letters for the year’s work: Paul Albin, W. L. Benedict, Earl Cochrane, Forrest Gorin, Martin Nelson, Kenneth Newcomb, Arthur Petsch, W'illiam Reeves, Claude Smith, Richard Vest, Rollie Bunney, and Charles Neale. Those receiving reserve letters were Roy Larson, I la Weeks and William Mc- Neil. Martin Nelson was elected as the 1921 football captain. The men who stayed through the entire season tested I 00 per cent. The school may well be proud of its men of the type of Nelson, Smith and Cochrane, die kind who ride 'em bareback. o 5 1921 Basket Ball. About twenty-two men reported for basketball practice at tlie beginning of the second quarter of the school year. A hard practice followed and the team made ready to take on the broncos from Hastings College, Forrest Gorin was chosen by the team as it’s leader. Gorin was chosen right forward on the All-Nebraska High School team for 1920. The game opened with Gorin and Ross, forwards; Kummer and Cochran, guards; Nelson at center. The opponents piled up eighteen points against our five in the first half, winning the game. But by putting Ross in center, Clinite in forward to- gether with some fine basket shooting, we made a strong comeback in the remaining half, although not quite enough to take the honors. A fast and close game was the third game with Wesleyan, Again the Antelopes came back strong in the second half but the visitors held their lead. Fast and furious was the game with the quintet from Doane. The men from Crete, however, nosed ou� a five point margin and won, the gun interrupting a tense period for those watching the fight. No other losing team has given Doane the strug- gle she had to win this game. The following evening. Cotner came out on top with an easily won game from the home five, much to the surprise of the fans. The superior brand of playing of the pre- vious night was missing. There was also a lack of the clean athletics displayed at the Doane game. The Midland quintet snatched away the last home game, 30 to 14, on the next Wednesday night. The regular men are: Gorin (Capt.) and Clinite, forwards; Cochrane and Kum- mer. guards; and Ross, center with reserves as Calhoun, Neale and Godfrey, guards; Cameron and Blowers, forwards; Nelson and Applegate, centers. 1 1921 qE CThe K Club Forrest Gorin ............

The first week of school one was held on the campus. The leading event was the grand march, led by President Martin and Miss Wirt. The Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A. and Catholic Club were sponsors for the affair. The all-school party of November was in the form of a foot ball game, giving every student and faculty member a chance to become foot ball stars. Mr. Weimer, quarter back, called signals for squad formations. The order of events was determined by printed programs. It wasn’t an unusual sight to see some of the faculty members making a touch down. Some of the players almost lost their heads when they were given a chance to make a real touch down with pumpkin pie and “spanked’' cream. Even the gym could hardly hold the crowd and everyone reported a good time. The Holiday Festival is always one of the unusual attractions of the year and is under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. This year the festival was held December 18. Students and faculty members were busy all day utilizing their spare time decorating and getting booths ready for the evening. In spite of the snow the crowd, consisting of K. S. N. students and people from down town, made its way to the “gray storied walls’’ at five o’clock sharp. One would imagine that his mind had deceived him or his eyes were playing a joke on him when he stepped suddenly into the halls and saw the variety of eats. Of course no one was able to judge his eating capacity on the spur of the moment. The different organizations each staged attractive side shows. The Orpheum pro- gram which followed the side show attractions gave the school a chance to reveal her talented people. The program consisted of wrestling matches, tableaus, kitchen bands, monologues, n everything. The Y. W. C. A. finance committee and Mrs. Sutton, its advisor, deserve much credit for making the evening one of enjoyment. The reception given to the students by the faculty, January 20, will linger in the memories of K. S. N. students. The gymnasium was decorated in black and white. Potted ferns added beauty to the other decorations. In the receiving line were President and Mrs. Martin, Mr, and Mrs. Mercer, and Miss Jennings. Mrs, Steadman presided at tire coffee table and Mrs. Stryker presided at the tea table while Mrs. Brindley helped everyone to a generous serving of ice cream and dainty cakes. Every faculty member and student had a word of greeting for some one else. Mr. Patterson’s orchestra added much enjoyment to the afternoon. The basket ball team from Peru arrived in time to receive a hearty welcome from K. S. N. faculty members and students. The Peru team joined with K. S. N. stu- dents in declaring the faculty to be the best of entertainers. Washington’s birthday is celebrated at K. S. N. by an all-school costume party. The party is usually held in the gymnasium a few days before Washington’s birthday. This year the party will be held February 19. The Washington party and the Holiday Festival are always under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. The party this year will be a costume party just as it has been in previous years. Nearly every one wears a colonial costume similar to the ones that were worn at the time of George Washington. The decorations, games and menu are always in keeping with the event.

A little mouse in the corner overheard Ethel say: “There arc only two things in life I want, a little home and you. Brown- eyes.” One of the most horrible rumors of the year, which has reached us, is to the effect thrt Dr. Stoutemyer and Miss Scott have quarreled. Although complete details are lacking, as usual, we understand that each party is determined not to concede a thing to the other, also as uzual. The situation is very serious but we sincerely hope that the sky will get clearer in the future. And do you know'. Miss Smith nearly lost Pete? Some very fierce negroes stole down by her house and, evidently thinking him a chicken, took Pete away. But, to his mistress’ great joy he was returned after the Caledonian act in the Holiday Festival. Oh! but we heard a great joke on Petsch. He started out to fool some one else, but where! where did it land? Right on his own head. He called up at the dorm one night and asked Marguerite Martin and Roxy Erb to call up 106. Thought the girls weren't clever enough to use the telephone book, but they were and they did and found that I 06 is the police station. Do you remember when Vinnie Shawkey had the chicken pox? Weeks went around the Normal with such a worried look. You see, he was deathly afraid he’d get it. We’ll wager he crammed the box for quarantine letters full every time it was emptied. And say! You know Mabel Miller sat right down in front, the night of “The Vision of the Homeland. We wondered and wondered and scratched our heads about it and here is the conclusion at which we finally arrived. It was so that she’d catch every word that fell from Cumming s lips. But here's the best one yet. Fisher, (you know him), took two girls to “The Vision of the Homeland.” When he came to the door, the one who took tickets hesi- tated. “Because, she said, “the show was only put on to bring one girl to.” Listen to this one. Emerson Baker went around school for quite a while with big patches all over his face. Poor boy, he looked awful. Said he ran into a post on third floor, but about that time we noticed that Ruth and he were rather cool toward each other, so we have our own ideas about how the patches really came to be on his face. Otis H. Charring, alias, “Science Pete,” has done something very wonderful. He has developed a new science of courting. On Sunday night he appeared at church with a certain girl, but always on week nights he was seen with another fair maid. The idea is to change off so that neither will get too sleepy. See? If you want to have some real fun, go up to the second floor of the Normal build- ing, turn to the east at the center of the corridor and ask Mr. Elliott when he intends to go to California. You’ll see some rare blushes. You know he expects to bring back a bride from there. A couple of weeks before Christmas a very charming young personage was seen in the library. Very few girls knew who she was but trust the boys, especially Claud Weimer, to find out. It surely was love at first sight, for two months afterward he still remembered her name. 1921 J - blue and gold Senior Advice to the Juniors. It is the privilege of the senior to give advice; it is equally the privilege of the junior, after listening respectfully, to disregard it. Oh Junior, set high your ideals, for your best is none too good for our old K. S. N. The seniors of '21 have served her to the best of their abilities. Perhaps it is not too much to say they have served her well. Your ideals must be set high, as were theirs, if you wish to reach, as they have reached, the place where one feels life before him, and is anxious to live it. Keep alive the precious loyalty to the school; cheer whether the game is a losing or a winning one. This spirit already thrives in the dear old school; do not let it weak- en or die. Make it live and spread, until when there returns to the beloved halls, a senior of 21, he may be glad to see that the school is even better than when he knew it. Make him realize that the school cannot stand still any more than it can slide back- ward. It must always move onward and upward. K. S. N,, too, has ideals and her ideals and those of her students are very similar. They are lofty, and they inspire the individual to better things. We, the seniors of '21, leave in your hands, juniors, something very near and dear to us. With regret, and longing, we leave the school where we have passed so many busy happy weeks. With enthusiasm and ambition we go forth to conquer worlds. We ask you, juniors, as a last request, be loyal to the school which we have learned to ad- mire, respect and love—K. S. N. Yes folks,—here is a poem (modified). And it s about a poetic class (dignified), There are many styles of us (classified). Clever—sweet—smiling—beautiful (rarified), All attending K. S. N. satisfied.

FOR SALE BY LEADING GROCERS THE GIBBON ROLLER MILLS GIBBON, NEBRASKA : ?y c BLUE AND GOLD The Personal Service You Receive From New York City In the first years of our business, we went into the New York Market twice each year to buy merchandise for Spring and Fall seasons. At best, such a method is only pardy satisfactory. Our determination to render con- stant, up-to-the minute service to our patrons made it necessary to open per- manent, all-year-round office in New York City in the very heart of the eastern market. Our New York City office is at 370 Seventh Avenue, and occupies four floors of the new Penn Terminal Building. There we have an adequate num- ber of thoroughly experienced buyers of merchandise. Those men know all the sources of supply in the lines we sell, namely: Dry Goods, Shoes, Ready- to-Wear, Clothing and Furnishings for men, women and children. They also know the local requirements of each town, because our local manager is an important counsellor to our New York staff and it is on his judgment that we rely greatly for authentic information as to what we must buy to meet your re- quirements. You have every right to feel confident that the merchandise in all our stores is up-to-the minute in newness : thoroughly good as to quality. Because of the tremendous amount of merchandise we sell in our Three Hundred and Twelve Stores, our purchase price is bed-rock low. Our op- erating cost is very small. We in turn sell to you at such tiny profits that you are assured utmost economy. It is sheer extravagance to pay higher prices than we ask of you. Therefore: For very good and sufficient reasons—it will pay you in many ways to buy constantly from a J. C. Penney Co. Store. }. C. Penney Co., Inc. KEARNEY, NEBRASKA Buying Offices Also in Si.
