THE BLUE AND GOLD VOLUME 10 1925 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE KEARNEY, NEBR. 1 V MASCOT OF THE TRAIL.’ FOREWORD t The purpose of this volume is to present the school life on the plains, to acknowledge the twen- tieth anniversary of our Alma Mater, and briefly to follow the trail of the settlement that has made “Kearney the best in the West.” t —3—- The Pioneers. The Pioneers came ■with courage strong Over the rugged trail. They knew not when a dart would fly To tell its deadly tale. But they had tender dreams of homes. The noblest and the best. And so they faced the arrow heads And built for us the West. Ours were the few who saw beyond The beaten wind-swept trail; Who knew that time would prove our West And knowledge must prevail. These were the builders of our school. With courage not to fail; They gave to us this heritage Who blazed the rugged trail. -—Sadie Gouldie. DEDICATION To those pioneer plains- men who blazed the trail ! and then through the years have lighted the sig- i nal fires ever ahead so that their followers might look into the future with undimmed visions, we i dedicate this book—a tri- bute to their service and a symbol of our love. ■ t t U The Settlement “O’er the trails that rise and dip Never, never turn we back.” 5o lorig as hearts with thy mem'ry be filled. The songs in thy praises shall never be stilled. ” -13- WHERE THE TRAIL BEGAN IN 1905. Pioneer 11istory of the Trail. Answering the call of the wind-wisps, sprites of the out-lying prairies. State Superintendent Fowler aroused in the House and the Senate Worthy men and true who heeded the call of the prairies; Followed the leader's suggestion to push the frontiers of learning Out on the plains and the prairies, home of the ranchman and farmer. Majors and Fowler and Ludden, Delzell and one Rogers, Scouts for the youth of Nebraska, the teachers of innocent children, Prospected wisely and well for a satisfactory location, Site for the settlement new, which they found in the city of Kearney. Eighteenth October in nineteen hundred and five was a day of Days; t’was the day of the christening service by lodges Grand, and a meeting addressed by Chancellor Andrews and others; Jubilant, confident, grateful townsmen of Kearney, Nebraska. Scouts, the aforesaid, wisely chose A. O, Thomas as pioneer leader. Twenty-six pioneer helpers of men and of women were chosen; Aids for this valiant man with his genuine pioneer spirit. Fearless, a worker untiring, optomistic, with vision. Ready and genuine sympathy, friend of both student and teacher. Soon the new normal at Kearney gained the just reputation, Due to the spirit of service the leader aroused in lus helpers, Pioneer leaders and plainsmen, of being a family harmonious, Faculty most united in all the state of Nebraska. Dauntless, (hough facing great odds, overwhelming, tremendous Led by this spirit of service, the plainsmen and pioneer leaders Blazed a long, a well-marked, ever-broadening trail, an ascending Trail with its goal at the topmost peak of achievement. -14— Lured by mystery, by the golden hopes of the unknown. Came these adventurers, pioneers, trusting their all to the prairies; Came, as their leader has said, these men and women of purpose. Rich in experience, in native ability, scholarship, vision; Came from the various fields which compose educational service; Came to the city of Kearney and pitched their camp on the school grounds. Campus of Kearney High School, and started a vigorous back-fire; Opened the way for the hundred and twenty young pla nsmen, Youdi of the prairies, who wandered in over the newly-made clearing. September nineteen hundred and five, in truly pioneer fashion. Plainsman and pathfinder wended their way along worn cowr paths. Leading through sunflower patches, and ripening corn fields and gardens, All on their way to their new educational quarters. Nor were the hardships of pioneer life left out of the picture; Nowhere to go but the floor at the top and no stairway but ladders; Nowhere where wielders of hammer and saw were not present; Nowhere escape from the deafening noise when they polished the marble: Nowhere to get any heat but from traction engines and oil stoves; Nowhere a grumbler, everywhere smiles of a sturdy, a happy note Enthusiastic big family of four hundred thirty young plainsmen, Eighteen of whom were ready in May to be leaders of plainsmen. As each year contributes its quota of well-prepared leaders. Trails over which other plainsmen, Keep Koming to Kearney Grow in number and length. We shall reach the uttermost corner. Frequent and definite blazes which point unmistakably upward Mark the well-defined path of the pioneer trail-blazers skillful. Blazes of various forms and devices mark this pathway of progress: Plans for growth in the years as they come in the grounds and the buildings Bulletins filled with ideals and ideas so needed to kindle Fires of ambition and purpose; the enthusiasm essential. Needed in clearing and blazing new trails for the feet of the plainsmen; Catalogues marking the trail as to standards and certification. Catalogue nineteen and six contains the Bachelor’s degree; Correspondence and study center classes were offered. Work in absentia for worthy, ambitious young plainsmen; Manual training equipment, an agricultural garden. Later a room was equipped in the training department, Room for demonstration classes essential for teacher and pupil. Antelope blazes appear on the trail in nineteen eleven; Characteristic, attractive, demanding and getting attention; Trail-markers second to none for pointing the way for the plainsmen. Blue and Gold are the blazes recording the life of the plainsmen. Varied and helpful with numerous organizations. Fifteen of w'hich came to life in the early years of the normal. Not the least aggressive of these is the tribe of Hall-Spooners. Another feature of plainsman life is tribal organizations. Decorative, unique are the blazes they leave at their passing; ■ w k —IB— Gifts to their Alma Mater so dear in the form of statues, Parthenon frieze, or a gate way, a picture or loan fund. Blazes of blue and of gold also portray the dramatic Instincts of plainsmen. In nineteen and seven, “A Case of Suspension. Staged by the juniors marks the beginning of life behind footlights. Blazes of lectures appear on the trail of nineteen five in the summer; Educators of national fame, a treat for the plainsmen; And in the following year was the lecture course of two numbers. Signs are not wanting of social festivities; parties in costume. Hikes, all-school picnics, and sunrise breakfasts by pioneer leaders. Varied and full was the life of the pioneer leaders and plainsmen. Witness of wh ch arc the three thousand plainsmen who followed Pioneer trails into Kearney in the space of five years; Out of which number were two hundred sixty-five plainsmen Pathfinders new who returned to their homes with a message; Opened new trails for the plainsmen who keep on coming to Kearney. Honor the pioneers, men and women of courage and vision. Honor the leaders, recruits, and hundreds of plainsmen “Carrying on” with the same length of stride, the same spirit. —Alma Hosic. c. A.

Angusta, Maine. Augustus Oliff Thomas......... It is a name we speak with pride, a pride which grows steadily as the years pass. To us. Doctor Thomas is more than the first president of our school. He is its organizer and its guiding power. His is essentially the tempera- ment of the pioneer, for he possesses unfailing courage, abounding energy, clear vision, a faith that looks through discouragement. Today Augustus O. Thomas is using his talents for the cause of education, in fields of the greatest scope and influence. The spirit of the man remains with the school which he built. GEORGE STUART DICK. Mr. George Stuart Dick, president 1914-1919, now State Supervisor of Rural Schools in Wisconsin, succeeded Dr. Thomas. Under the leadership of Mr. Dick, a number of outstanding changes were made, looking forward to a Teachers College. The reorganization of the course of study and the adoption of the hour basis for class recitations are significant. The rural department was created and affiliation with rural school instituted. The study center or fore-runner of the present Extension department was organized and developed. Mr. Dick's patriotic zeal and enthusiasm greatly aided the school in its ready response to the many demands made during the great war. The building program in this ad- ministration gave the institution the gymnasium and tine auditorium. The interior decora- tion of the auditorium is a lasting tribute to Mr. Dick’s artistic taste. —17— PRESENT LEADER CAPTAIN. t t Sprung From the West. The strength of virgin forests braced his mind. The hush of spacious prairies stilled his soul. The conscience of him testing every stroke. To make his deed the measure of a man. So came the captain. —Edwin Markham. t t No company of plainsmen was ever more fortunate in the matter of a captain than the present company of recruits. President Martin continues to set new blazes on the trail and to carry the torch of ideals high. The company follows this man of literary powers trustfully. They look upon him as an inspiring leader and a loyal captain. His friend, J. W. Searson, Professor of English says of him: He believes in education. He is entirely devoted to it, and he has done more than any other one leader in Nebraska at the present time to put professional training of teachers on a permanently reputable and efficient basis. He is one of the most careful educators in the middle west in matters of administration and finance and is by all odds the farthest sighted and widest visioned among the younger normal school presidents in America.” ‘‘In my first contacts with him, I discovered one of the rarest souls with a promise that could not be stopped short of fulfillment. Added to his remarkable natural gifts is the finest training that the best universities of this land can supply. He is therefore a profound thinker, a distinguished leader, and far visioned prophet in education. I like him too because he is so human. He always says exactly what he thinks, is frank, open, sincere and always a bit cleverer than any of his competitors.” d When he took work under me he never submitted a manuscript that was not of the highest class. When he subst'tuted for me in my college classes he taught them so well that they cared little further for my own prosaic contributions. When I have worked under him, he has always been a sympathetic and encouraging taskmaster. As friend, companion, teacher, scholar, research expert, and skilled executive. President Martin is first, last, and all tire time, the real friend to every struggling young teacher in the state. Whatever he has accomplished he has won by extreme diligence and he has never for- gotten the rough knocks in the path along which he came. Pioneer Band and Recruits. t Edith M.

Good-bye! Yes, we are really saying good-bye. Just four short years ago we came to the Settlement as a very large company of plainsmen. We were ambitious and began immediately to strive for places of honor. Our efforts were often rewarded and when it was Freshmen who won in the Stale Commercial Contest, and Freshmen who made up half of the debating team we were extremely proud of ourselves. VIDI! 1922-1923. We came back the second year with more class spirit than before. We asked help of no one. We needed none; we were Sophomores. Of course we boasted of our popu- larity and our greatness, just as Caesar did and just as the Sophomores do now. So great were our successes that the Juniors (speak gently—they are now departed) grew envious and to punish us published the “Sopholope, a notable unsuccessful attempt to humble the Sophomores. We continued our conquests, however, and came to our final triumph with the class play, The White-Headed Boy. VICII 1923-1924 We came. We saw. We conquered. And then 1'ke other great conquerors we rested on our arms. We no longer flaunted our conquering banner. We did not need to. We were Juniors. We hibernated. We slept. We snored. Enough said. EXCESSI! 1924-1925 And now that our Senior year is nearly over, we have some idea of how Caesar must have felt when he came home from Gaul, proud, triumphant, and with ambition for future conquests in other territories. Without Caesar’s boast of victory, the pioneers also came, saw and conquered. We too, are trail blazers and desire to push the frontiers farther back and conquer the wilder- ness. It ever looms up with new dangers but from it springs hope for new triumphs. We Seniors now will bid you all adieu. And seek for conquests in a country new. ETHEL M. CRAIG. A. L. PHILLIPS. An Appreciation. Appreciation i$ a thing intangible. We realize that a mere state- ment here is a timely but an inadequate means of expressing gratitude. But as a symbol of our sincerity we proffer our thanks to these counselors whose period of service has been characterized by loyalty to the class. We could ask for none better, and no others could have won more admiration and respect. Their executive abilities and invaluable counsel have brought confidence and regard. To Miss Craig and Mr. Phillips, our teachers and sponsors, we acknowledge our indebtedness, offer our appreciation and leave with them the memories of their class of 1925, —33— Mary Cerveny McGrew Biology Physical Science—Mathematics Academy of Sci. and Math,.

As Freshmen we began early to make our impress upon the school. Responding to a request to furnish a con- vocation program,, we succeeded in winning almost instantaneous fame and recognition even from the Sophomores—now ripened Seniors. Our diversified talent and abilities forced us into prominence immediately and we were frequently called upon during the course of the year to assist in many and various forms of extra-curricular activities. Nor were our achievements confined to classroom work or to extra-curricular ac- tivities., We enjoyed many good times together during the year. A bare mention of the wienie roast, kid party, hard-time party, and spring picn c at the 1733 Ranch will call pleasant memories to the mind of any loyal Junior. With September, 1923, we felt that the t'me had come for us to put away our more juvenile notions, as we were now “Sophomores,” and we began to assume the air of future school-masters and mistresses. We bade farewell to the frivolit:es of the former year and pursued our lessons with a deadly earnest. A large number of our class at the close of this term took up teaching. And now, as Juniors, having traveled o’er the greater part of our sojourn, our num- ber we find is greatly depleted from the two hundred eighty-seven verdant souls which first graced these halls some three years ago. This fact, however, does not in anywise daunt our spirit and we continue with the same attitude of consistent loyalty and dependability which has characterized us from the day of our entrance. Many of our classmates are engaged in teaching at present. Their qualities of leadership are being proven in actual practice. Those same qualities of leadership exist here also as shown by the fact that eleven Juniors have been elected to membership in Xi Phi Honorary Fraternity, In leaving these few remarks we hope to encourage and inspire the next Juniors to strive for the same tilings for which we have striven and to equal if not excell the record which we have made. f t First Quarter Second Quarter Third Quarter Pres.

But don't worry; 1 am feeling fine. 1 he only trouble is, I am broke. Someone swiped a book from me the other day and failed to return it; I had to borrow the necessary $1.64 to pay for the doggone thing. Isn’t it horrible? Can you send me a little extra in this week's check? Come closer and I'll whisper you a little secret-—I have to buy movie tickets for two nowadays! Doesn’t it surprise you? But as the Antelope says, “It’s better to be broke than to never have loved at all. ” I have a lot to tell you about school too, mother. Much has happened since I wrote you last October. Did I tell you that I am a sophomore this year? There are I 4i of us on the second quarter lists. Peppiest class in school! The freshmen won’t admit it, but it's so. Let me tell you what we have done since school began. We have held two high-power, ripsnorting class parties; one on November 14, and the last one January 31. Had to borrow the money from my room mate to pay for it though. I ought to pay that back, too. We had a heck of a time, of course. Then on November I i the sophs put out a blue special edition of the Antelope, and rubbed it into the frosh in fine style. In February they put out a glaring red Valentine number of their own and tried to get it back on us, but why should we care? Our back page “Frosh-O-Gosh,” with its group picture of the Freshman class, and its poetry dedicated to S. A. M, and Miss M. 1. C. will hold them for a while. 1 he Sophomores pulled a good one on the other classes the Wednesday before the holiday vacat.on when they presented a rural school Christmas program at convocation, il was supposed to represent the Squashville school’s Exams program; the little pupils recited pieces and gave dialogs and acrostics, and then at the last Santa Claus came giving presents to the more notorious students and faculty. This stunt was the talk of the school. But I had to borrow- some money to buy my presents for the tree. Have you an extra $25? Yeabo, w'e have real people in our class, too. The sophs about run things. As Bill Wigglehatchet says, “The seniors try to and the juniors want to and the frosh interfere as the sophs do,” They seem to lake ahold of college affairs so well; the presidents of nearly all school organizations are two-year people. Next year's gridiron captain is a classmate of mine; so is the only Pi Kappa Delta member on the debating team; so is the head yell leader, and so are dozens of others who have made a name for themselves here. I am proud of the Sophomores! Went to sleep in the library Tuesday. They told me I ought to go home and to bed. 1 went. And next day I got an awful raking over for skipping classes. Had a good nap, though, but missed supper. Oh, well, I was broke anyway. Need some more towels and handkerchiefs and collars and neckties and shoes and shirts and shoestrings, and a new hat and a pair of carpet slippers. Other than that I am w'ell fixed. However, you can send me a box of eats any time you want to. Am going to the show tonight, which will cost four bits. Dating sure takes the jack! Will write again soon. Ever your indulging son, Asoph. P. S. Don’t forget about the money! 1 -68— FRESHMEN We came to Kearney just last fall Green as the mountain pine, And we were welcomed just like guests To join the filing line. Soon we began to feel at home, The mixer helped a lot. And folks began to see the Frosh Were “Johnny on the spot.” For day by day in every way Some talent did outcrop. Until it was quite evident We’re aiming at the top. Our class is surely mighty fine And we’ll never be content Until a Frosh of ’24 Is U. S. president. —Sadie Gouldie. f t FRESHMAN OFFICERS.

Home Coming Day June 1 I, 1925. t t The Pathfinders New, trained in the wisdom of their ciders, confidently leave the Settlement and strive to build their own signal fires. The elders have with joy sighted from far fields beacon lights eagerly cared for by doctors, missionaries and teachers. The young plainsmen first departed from the settlement seventeen strong. This number has increased until nowr there are nineteen hundred and forty loyal blazers of trails. Each year, during the first week in June, the Pathfinders New return to the watch fires of their elders, to sit with them, and relate their experiences. Feasts, songs and games enliven the Home Coming Day. When our beloved leader, Mrs. Harriet Sutton, who had risen from the rank of plainsman, was called to the Great Beyond, it was proposed to install a pipe organ in memory of her joyous inspiring life. Each Pathfinder is will ngly do ng his utmost to see that this memorial is in place by the time the first snow flies in the coming year. In the fall of 1924, the chosen leaders of cur plainsmen called a grand council of leaders from all the state colleger. This resulted in an organ zat on of all “The Alumni of the State Colleges,” which is composed of the four Teachers colleges and the University of Nebraska. The purpose of the organization is to co-operate with one another in carry- ing out a progressive educational program.—Miss Carrie Ludden, Miss Florence Miller. —66— The Plainsmen’s Life “The present is the fruitage of the past.

About twenty-five men answered the first call for football candidates for the 1924 season. Among the group were five veteran letter men, Capt. George Reed, C. Smith, A. Panek, Rex Reed and M. Nelson. The remainder of the squad was made up of some splendid new material, who shared honors with the veterans and won glory for their school. The first battle of the year, with Nebraska Central, was won by a good score, I 2-0. Kearney’s entire squad got into the fray. The next game was fought in the strong-hold of Peru, the ancient enemy of Kearney. The first half was scoreless, but luck favored the Bobcats and they received two fumbled punts and scored both times. This told part but not all of the story. The truth is the Kearney squad, fighting like demons from start to finish, outplayed Peru. Next came the Hastings game, at Hastings. With the exception that Hastings scored a touchdown in the first few minutes of play on a forward pass, the first half was evenly played in the center of the field. From that time on, the Hastings Tribune said, Kearney had the best of the argument, clearly outplaying the Bronchos in all departments of the game. Especially did the locals forward passes function. Many first downs and long gains were made, the final whistle finding the Antelopes within a shadow of the Hastings goal. It was in this game that George Shields, left end, was so seriously injured that he was unable to play the rest of the season. The Hastings game proved a costly one in minor injuries, as the York game, played at York the following Saturday morning, found the lineup full of substitutes. This, to- gether with a case of over confidence, proved disastrous to the Antelopes. After three games away from home the Antelopes met Chadron on the home field. They lost in the last half, but it was a good game with every man doing his best. Panek scored a drop kick from the thirty yard line. This was Kearney’s last defeat. The next game at Doane was a scoreless t.e. It was keenly contested and evenly played. It was the Doane Home-Coming and many old graduates witnessed the game. McNickel, Ante- lope halfback, and a former student at Doane, starred before his former schoolmates by his excellent open field running. Cotner was clearly outplayed and defeated on the local field in the battle here November I 2. Had the weather been more favorable the score would undoubtedly have been greater, as the Bulldogs were outclassed in yards gained about three to one. Panek’s toe was again brought into action and kept the bacon at home. Too much cannot be said of the splendid sportsmanship displayed by both Cotner and Doane. The final game was on “Turkeyday at Wayne. Kearney linemen repeatedly drop- ped the Wayne backs for a loss of yardage. A strong north wind and cold weather made fumbling common for both teams. Panek was the mainstay on both offense and defense. He went through the entire line several times to be stopped by the last man between him and the goal posts. It wras Panek who intercepted a pass, and ran through a broken field forty yards for a touchdown. Panek kicked and made the extra point that won the game. It is doubtful if any team in the conference played as hard a schedule as Kearney did this year. Five of the games were away from home; all had hopes for a champion- ship, and none of the teams, before or after the games, could be considered easy. —O. V. Swanson. —-76— K. CLUE.

Seldom within that period did he miss a single practice. He is noted for his clean playing and extraordinary sportsmanship. He has been placed on the mythical all-state teams in both football and basketball and has won more track and field honors than any other man at Kearney. His loyalty made him famous, not only in our own conference but also in Iowa, Wyoming and Colorado, where our teams have played and have won respect.

On Trips With the Basketball I earn. After one week’s vacation at Christmas time, the most likely candidates for basketball players were summoned back to Kearney for early practice preparatory to the first trip of the 1925 season. This pre-season trip called for games at Cheyenne, Wyo., against the Slate University, and at Greeley, Colo,, against the State Teachers College, They arrived at old Cheyenne about 3 p. m. January 1, 1925, and put up at “The Plains.” They took a rubber-ncck tour of the city and Fort Russell, and at 8 p. m. met the Wyo- ming “Cowboys” on Cheyenne H. S. Court. The change in altitude put mouth breathing in vogue. We arrived at Greeley, Colo., January 2, at 4 p. m. to play the Bears” two games. We visited the college and gave the town the once over under the guidance of Art Petscli. The scores were broadcast by the local radio station. A reception for the team was held at Miss Pauline McVcy’s home. Carskadon and McNickel made a great “hit.” On our trip to Tabor, Iowa, we first stopped at Grand Island, where we won from the Zebras. Wc experienced an exciting trip to Tabor in a Ford without a steering wheel. It was an exciting game of thumbs.” We dropped the game, because we couldn't see the ball and our hands were so cold. Tabor fellows have cat-eyes. We left I a bo r at 4 a, m. in a heavy snow. Arriving at Omaha we defeated the “Cards” and received a large headline in Omaha papers as conference leaders. The final trip to Lincoln was via York and Doane. Huber gave the fans at York a thrill by basket tossing. Morris won Cotner game in last 1 5 seconds. With Panek at his best, we defeated Doane. -81- 1925 ANTELOPES. CLYDE Cox. Kcnesaw. playing his first year. Filled the position of guard at mid season. He was also used at center and forward. He gave lus best every minute in the game. Captain Panek, Kearney, played his third year in the season of 1923. Pat ’ has played every position on the team with equal determination and aggressiveness. The past season lie played forward and was the scoring ace of the team. ROBERT Huber. Kearney, played his first year on the team. His speed and ac- curate goal shooting made him a valuable cog in the machine. Carl Cox, Kenesaw, second year on the team playing guard. The hardest fighter and the most accurate passer on the team. His grim determination to control the ball is a great asset. ALLEN Morris, Kearney, playing Ills second year on the team at center, got into every game and played his usual steady game. His timely goal shooting won several games. —82— Joe JUSTICE, Beaver Crossing, played his first year at center and forward. He was a clean hard player who gave his best. IhuNg Carskadon, Gothenburg, first year on team. Played forward. Never stopped trying. A good goal shooter From any position, and worked hard every minute, DELL McNiCKEL, Farnam, played his first year in forward and guard positions. His balance and speed combined with a thorough knowledge of the game served him well throughout the season. Harold Lidcard, Bladen, first year on team. Played forward. A splendid goal shooter and passer. ROBERT Pollard, Farnam, first year on team. Played center and guard. A skillful passer and hard player with marked ability. —83— 1925 BASKETBALL. The 1925 basketball team was known throughout the state as “upsetters of dope.” Often they won games by sheer determination over more experienced teams. Sometimes Lady Luck tossed the spoils into the air to be recovered by the most alert team. The state conference teams were the strongest in history and very evenly matched. The weak teams of 1924 either did not enter the race or became exceptionally strong. York College was the only team able to hand the Antelopes two defeats and for the last three years Kearney had defeated York twice each season by large scores. We broke even with Hastings, Grand Island, Cotner and Doane, winning game: away from home only to lose the return game on our own floor, often by a hair’s breadth. Midland and Omaha were defeated and we lost hard fought games to Wayne, Peru, and York. For the first time in a number of years, Kearney played the out of conference games. The University of Wyoming, Colorado State Teachers College, and Tabor (Iowa) College were scheduled for games away from home. Although the games were lo t the experience derived was a valuable asset. The conference season started with a rush for Kearney. In the opening game we gave our old rival Hastings, the most decisive drubbing in history. Grand Island College and Omaha University were next defeated in order, on a road trip. Capt. Panek was lorced to remain at home on account of sickness. Hastings, Grand Island, and York each handed us a defeat in order, due to a general slump, injuries and rebuilding of the team. The Hastings victory was the only one that could be termed decisive. The next week saw a reorganized team play whirlwind basketball and defeat our old rivals Mid- land. The more experienced Wayne team defeated the Antelopes in a good game. The following week we lost the second game to York, but defeated both Cotner and Doane on the same trip. Kearney lost all three of the remaining games on the home floor. Peru, Doane, and Cotner were the winners. The veteran Peruvians were held to a close score, and it took an extra five minute period to decide the Doane game. The Cotner game was a see-saw and wras not decided until late in the second half. Two of Kearneys veteran letter-men played through the season; Capt. Panek and Allen Morris. The prospects for 1926 are exceedingly bright. —84— ■% T 4 TBACK TEAM 1924. Left to right—Putsch, Salyers,. Panels, Tulin or. Lower—Smith, Rolliugs, Captain Roberts, Clyde Cox, Don ton.

The Antelope. Rae O. Wf.imer Editor Archie Jackson Associate Editor Kermit Jackson Business Manager Harold Hayden Typist For the first five years the Pioneers were so busy training the plainsmen that they found little lime for the taming of the Antelope, which later became the Mascot of the Trail. At first it was a shy little beast and could hardly be induced to come into camp. Finally, in 1910, some scouts corralled and kept it in domestication, but only during the winter quarters. For the remainder of the year it sought its favorite haunts among the sand hills. In order to maintain the little pet, a keeper was employed to sell advertising in the town. In order to provide sufficient provender for the entire year, a contingent fee was devised in 1920. Since then the Antelope has remained on the campus the year through. From the frolicsome little fawn it has grown to be a vigorous animal capable of defend- ing itself with both head and heels. This engaging animal has been on special exhibition on certain occasions. Thanks- giving and Christmas, and m interest of certain activities and departments of the school, Athletics, Green Terrace, (where he most prefers to graze) and for the Blue and Gold, and Sophomore and Freshman classes. The efficient caretaker for the last six quarters was Mr. Rae Weimer. For the last quarter of the year the grooming of the Mascot is entrusted to the capable hand of Miss Margaret Aydelotte.

For more than nineteen years the Y.M.C.A. has been the most important recognized organization for the upholding and building of Christian manhood in this college. Our association was organized January 25, 1906, and since then has never failed to do its part in supporting the highest ideals of the school and setting the best standards for good character. The Y. M C. A. this year conducted one of the fullest program in the history of the school. The first big attraction of ihe year was the Y watermelon feed for all the men of the school. It was held in the gymnasium on Monday evening, September 8. More than one hundred men ate melon that night. About a month later the annual banquet was given in the college dining hall in honor of the new members. With only a few exceptions the Y. M. C. A. held their regular meetings on Wed- nesday evenings in the gymnasium. A very practical religious and educational course, outlined by our program chairman, Allen Anderson, was studied with success. Follow- ing the meeting every man was given the privilege of taking part in any kind of athletic sport conducted in the Gym. such as swimming, wrestling, boxing, and basketball. With the help and enthusiasm of Prof. C. H. Skinner, a Boy's Club with more than twenty-five members was organ zed in the Emerson Ward School. Both men and boys looked forward to Tuesday evening when they would meet for a program and a good time in the Emerson School. —SS— IIiil(in Jensen ........President Amber Hoover . . , .Social Chairman (ioltlie Stark ...

From the time when the pioneer leaders and student plainsmen walked over temporary flooring and unfinished stairways to attend the Y. W. C. A. meetings, there have been leaders and students who were interested in the religious life of the Settlement. The Y. W. C. A. has aimed to provide for the comfort and to foster the spiritual growth of the girls. Every year it meets a ready response and at present has an enroll- ment of nearly hvo hundred members. fn the Thursday morning devotional meetings this year, the cabinet has been assisted by Kearney people including Mrs. C, N. Anderson, Mrs. J. C. Miller, Miss Margaret Quayle. Mr. Huntington and the Reverend Jackson of the Evangelical church. Throughout the year there have been activities sponsored by the Y. W. The annual banquet was held October 9, and Miss Madge Sills, Y. W. Secretary of the Rocky Mountain Region was guest of honor and gave an address. The Holiday Festival of December I 2. consisting of a cafeteria supper, sales of candy and novelties at the booths, side-shows by all the organizations, and a big Orpheum in the auditorium, contributed amply to the Y. W. Loan Fund. Next came the Nativity play presented in convocation on Friday preceding the holidays. In January the Student Friendship drive was given publicity to arouse interest in fellow students in foreign lands, to develop a friendly relation and thus aid in bringing about World Peace. With the help of the Y. M. C. A. on February 20, a most successful Colonial costume parly resulted. —89— ROOM. Women’s League. The Women's League, which was organized in the fall of 1921. is composed of all women students enrolled in the college. This organization has always shown a vital interest in the welfare of the K. S. T. C. It promotes social and intellectual activities of the future, co-operates with school officials in any undertaking, and prepares all womankind for better citizenship and happiness. The monthly meetings, under the able sponsorship of Mrs. Elliott, are a source of Jive interest because of their practical values on social courtesies. We fed the demonstra- tions given at the programs, have prepared the young women to ably fill their places in communities. The League has purchased a hammered brass tea service and the necessary linens for tea service to be used in the social affairs of the school. The dues paid to the Women’s League by all women students upon registration in the college, beccme a loan fund which has been the means of enabling several girls to remain in school. This year by a unanimous vole $75 of the dues was given to die Harriet Sutton Organ Memorial Fund.

Education, in its broadest sense, includes a range of three great phases, the mental, the moral, and the physical. Toward all these phases the Catholic Church has ever been friendly. She has been a liberal patron of art, science, and literature, but has always, and rightly, kept well within her own particular sphere, the religious side of education. It is with this phase of the educational field in mind that the Catholic Stu- dent Association is maintained. The association was organized early in the history of the school through the efforts of Prof. B. H. Patterson, and it is greatly due to his untiring efforts that the organiza- tion maintains its efficiency and continuity. In this work he has been aided to no small extent by Prof. John F. Matthews, a faculty member who is as popular as he is ener- getic in club circles. The association meets weekly in the excellently appointed room on the third floor. During these meetings, devotional exercises, topics of current Catholic interest, history of church activities, and other topics of general interest, are made a regular part of the pro- gram. The association prides itself in having furnished a large room in the Good Samaritan Hospital, at a cost of $250. r —92— CATHOLIC CLUB. First Row—Alice M. Bulin. Helen Bulin, Dan Cooney, Prof, B. H.

Habla usted espanolV’ I informed her that I did speak Spanish a very little. Then the winsome miss in the black mantilla and graceful Spanish costume invited me to the meeting of the Sociedad Espanola. —94— When we entered I was surprised to see one of my schoolmates standing before a crowd of Spanish students. She was describing to them, with a delightful Spanish accent some of the holiday customs of Spain. The courteous little soft-eyed Spanish senorita seemed to have appointed herself my guardian. She told me, her eyes aglow, of all the happy interesting meetings that this club has had. Later, as we entered the room where refreshments were being served, a babble of talk met our ears. Groups were scattered about the room, conversing, some earnestly and some hilariously. How enjoyable, 1 said to myself, I shall surely come again. Johnson.

Le Cercle Francais was organized in 1914 to supplement ihc class-room work in French. Any one who has studied French is eligible to membership. The club meets the second Tuesday of each month. The programs consist of plays, stories, songs and games which afford opportunity for practice in using French and tend to create a truly French atmosphere. These programs are varied occasionally by a social meeting at the home of some member of the club. Each year the club presents a stunt or play at convocation such as scenes from Le Malade lmaginaire, La Poudre aux Yeux, Le Voyage de M, Perrichon, The following officers have been elected: First Quarter Second Quarter Third Quarter President Beulah Rundle Beulah Rundle Elizabeth Losey Vice President Milrae Lundberg Milrae Lundberg Milrae Lundberg Secretary-Treasurer Samuel Woodbury Helen Jackson Dorothy Williams —36— Top Row Veda Pritts, Mary Mastin, Estelle Louise Butler, Miss Bundle, sponsor, Lloyd Orchard Hazel Stryson, Alice Fowler.

Its purpose is to create a desire for Latin and stimulate interest in this age-old language. The club has a membership of about twenty students who help to make it a success by offering their time and talents. During the year the club met monthly for its regular business meetings. A short program was usually given. At these meetings we found many worth while suggestions. The club has had two delightful social events in addition to the regular business meetings. In October some of the rtudents, accompanied by Miss Florence Miller, en- joyed a hamburger fry on the Platte. Miss Edith Rundle entertained the club at a crossword puzzle party in February. Of course, the puzzles were in Latin, so they were educational as well as amusing. —97— Top Row—Ethel Smith, Royal E. Nelson, Mary L, Nichols, Archie Jackson, Lillian Stuff, Mrs. Zeta Glasner.

Thus was evolved the first and only Order of Pink-Haired Sheiks and Shebas. At this time the ”Order of Pinks” boasts a membership of twenty-four persons, including a mascot selected from the kindergarten, and faculty sponsor, Miss Lillian B. Stuff. The club has taken an active part in school affairs since its organization. It has staged a theatre party, participated in the Holiday Festival, and otherwise earned a prominent place for itself in the files of college life. Plans for the near future indicate still more reasons for members to be proud of their crowning glory of golden fleece. —9S— Top Row—Lctlia Doyln, Katherine Feather, Hulda Jensen, See., Dr. Noyer. sponsor, Minnie Conley.

The idea of such an organisation was conceived by Carl W. Salser� Director of Extension, Emporia, Kansas. The Alpha chapter was installed there and the Beta at Pittsburgh, Kansas, 1 he Gamma chapter was founded at Kearney early in the spring of 1924, with Dr. Ralph Noyer as sponsor, but the first ceremonial initiation was conducted December I 3, 1924, by Clarence McGregor of Emporia, Kansas. I he purpose of the fraternity is to encourage and reward qualities of leadership among college students. Membership is restricted to twenty-four resident students of the Junior and Senior classes who are leaders in extra-curricular activities and whose scholastic records are among the best. Xi Phi in co-operation w'ith Pi Kappa Delta sponsored the Writing and Declamatory Contest held at Kearney, April 1 7. Members, not in the picture, who have received ceremonial initiation in the Teachers College in 1924-23 are: Ruby Morris, Hallie Smith, Zella Striven, Florence Sterner, Mary Cerveny and Victor Norall. - —99— Top Row—Yoder, Mr. Skinner, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Phillips, Hosfclt.

The Nebraska Zeta Chapter of the Pi Kappa Delta was installed at the Teachers College, May 19, 1924. This is a national forensic fraternity which has chapters in five other colleges in Nebraska. Eligibility of candidates is determined by success in debate and in public speaking contests. At the t me of installation, the following members were initiated: Carroll Morrow, Arnold Trotier, John W. McHale, Homer McConnell, Clay Daggett, Hazel Hosfelt and Rae Weimer. At the same time John Matthews and A. L. Phillips were initiated as members of the Order of Instruction, Mr. Weimer was chosen president of the fraternity and Mr. McConnell, secretary. The Epsilon Chapter at Grand Island College stood sponsor for us and sent over a delegation of four, with their president. Mr. Richard Johnson, who conducted the d'gnified and impressive ritual. At a meeting held during the summer quarter, four more members were added to the charter list. I. W. Weeks, Edith McBride. Laura Rundle, and Grover Rost, At present twenty-eight states are represented in the National Pi Kappa Delta, with charters in more than one hundred colleges. Every member of the order receives The Forensic, a magazine filled with inspiring news of the wrork that other colleges are doing in public speaking and debate. —1(10— Back Row—Gerald Humbert, Victor Norall, Harold Staley Archie Jackson, Charles Rollings.

The aim of the Emanon Literary Society is to train its members to arrive at logical conclusions and present them in a convincing manner. This aim is carried out through programs consisting of debates on current subjects, reports on recent happenings, readings, parliamentary law drills, and occasional addresses by faculty members. Mr, Carl H. Skinner, head of the teacher training department and coach of the debate squad of the season, was elected sponsor at the first meeting of the year. He has been faithful in his duty as sponsor and the club is very thankful to him for his excellent work in attendance, encouragement and criticisims. The society has had charge of the Forensic League programs for the second quar- ter and every one seems to feel that the leaders have performed their task well. They have tried to arrange varied programs using the talent of the three literary organizations of the schools.

The Aspasian Debating Society was organized in November of 1906, with Mrs. Anna Peterson as president and Miss Homer as critic. It has been a prosperous organiza- tion since that time. The aim of this society is to give the young women of the school practice in debating, parliamentary law, and literary work, and in these things their eloquent namesake, Aspasia, would not deny their success. The work of the Aspasians is valuable in that the members learn the community jpirit and the manner of conducting public meetings which is essential to the training of the teacher. Recognizing the fact that all work and no play is unwholesome, the society occasion- ally gives programs of a lighter nature. Once each month the Aspasians meet with the Orophilians and the Emanons in a joint session known as the Forensic League, each society contributing to the program.

In order to stimulate school enthusiasm, early in the year President Martin appointed a board of known ability, including ten students and two faculty members, to serve as the nucleus of the Zip Club, an organization to arouse and. direct school spirit and pep” At present, the club membership is closed at forty, to provide for further admissions later. The growing club has had charge of all cheering at school functions, has furnished stunts for between halves and at convocation rallies, and has in general undertaken to boost school spirit. The latest Zip Club success was the presentation in the auditorium, February 1 I, of the first annual “Showdown. ’ a scries of seventeen vaudeville stunts given by the college organizations. The $200 cleared by this program was used to purchase athletic and yell leader sweaters and other school awards. The club plans to present other money raising events in the near future to finance track and debate merits. The initial success and prominence achieved bids well for the future progress of this society. —104— Back Row—Mary TroxelL, Albie Sniitiu, Mathilda Poppe, Verne Jensen, Adah Palmblade, Olga Friuell, Hazel Jefferies,.

This fact makes the social obligation of the teacher in such schools as wide as the community, for the rural teacher must do his share of building civilization in parts not reached by other agencies. The need of special training for this particular phase of the teacher's work was early recognized by our rural department and for that purpose the Rural Club was organized in 1916. The programs of the Rural Club are planned to meet three great needs of com- munity life: inspiration, which is given by speakers who are authority in their chosen field; vision, brought to the club through programs given by groups of children from the affiliated schools; and training, secured by planning for and participating in club work. —105— Back Row—Mabel Matzke, Avis Day, Margaret West, Miss Conrad, Prof, Anderson, Allen Anderson, Lillian Hanson.

In the pioneer band was one who believed that as life in the Settlement progressed the old trails ought not to he lost nor the signal fires allowed to hum low. Believing this. Prof. C. N. Anderson in 1911, encouraged the plainsmen to re-mark the trails. In response to a state call to collect material for Nebraska history, he organized the History Club. For four years the members studied Nebraska history only, but in 1915 the plan was enlarged and a more general course was begun. It was in that year also, that Ne- braska day was observed for the first time. The club arranged a special celebration .n honor of Nebraska day, and invited A. E. Sheldon, the historian, who made a memorable speech at the Empress theatre. Contributions to the cause of history have been of various natures. The club of 1915-16 supplied the cabinets for the historical collections now in Professor Anderson's room. In 191617 the members spent their energies in making an index of material for Nebraska history and this they left on file in a cabinet in the class room. The club of 1917-18 followed the progress of the war, but in the spring of 1918 new interests called the plainsmen from the study of history and the club was discontinued until reorganized in September, 1924, by Professor Anderson and Miss Jennie Conrad. —106— Campfire.

The first appearance of the Theatre Arts League th.s year was in convocation, October 29, in “Educational Follies of 1924.“ For the Y. W. C, A. Holiday Festival, the league presented two side-shows and won first honors for the greatest amount of money turned in by the organ zations participating. The stunts were, “Katinka,” a Russian musical playlet from Balilf s Chaure Souris,” and “Courting Under Difficulties,” a pantomime. Studio plays for the year thus far have been: “The Rehearsal,“ “Where But in America,” “ft Simply Isn't Done, “The Stepmother” and “The Sequel.” The notable production by a cast of marked ability for amateurs was “Mr. Pirn Passes By.” by A. A. Milne. It was coached very splendidly by Miss Mary Crawford cf the English Department and received creditable comments from critics of drama. The second presentation was at Lexington, Nebraska, and the proceeds were given to the Harriet Sutton Memorial Organ Fund of the College. 4 —103— THEATRE ARTS LEAGUE. Academy of Science and Mathematics. This organization was founded by interested faculty members and students of the State I eachers College on the third of March, 1916, and is still functioning actively. Its membership, both active and ascociate, includes recommended students from the following departments: Biology, Earth Science, Home Economics, Mathematics and Physical Science, as well as each faculty member in these respective departments. Guests arc always welcome and always find something worth while in our programs. The aim of the society is best indicated by a resume of the programs offered this year. The Earth Science department was well represented by Miss Cora O’Connell who spoke entertainingly on her “Brief Sojourn in the Yellowstone Park;” by Professor Mercer’s not too technical address, “ Talks by a Mineralogist;” and by Mr. Gerald Humbert s talk New Archaeological Discoveries in Nebraska. The Home Economics department was represented by Miss Gladys Timson. who presented a paper on Minerals in Food,” and Mrs. Beulah Van Skikc, who spoke on “Color Harmony in Dress. To the Physical Science department we are indebted for the excellent paper “Chem- istry of the Aluminum Industry by Mr. Julius Schneider, and the very practical talk “How to Avoid Trouble in an Automobile, by Mr. Paul Exstrom. The Mathematics department was ably represented by Miss Hulda Jensen who spoke on An Experimental Course in Teaching High School Mathematics. The Biology department was represented by Mr, Victor Norrall who spoke on “Leprosy, its Origin and its Treatment,” showing very clearly the advancement modern medxine is making in some lines. One evening was devoted to a review of the various scientific magazines available in the school library. This program was of value to all people, but of especial value to the young college student putting him in touch at once with scientific progress.—Agnes Crisp. —110™ —311— ACADEMY OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS, GEORGE H.

Arrangements have been made for two hour courses each quarter with classes meeting at hours on the regular schedule, instead of evening classes carrying a two-thirds hour credit per quarter as they do at present. Mr. Aller has been instrumental in radiocasting programs from Hastings, this year, using members of his glee clubs and men and women in Kearney, who have had previous work with him. f t KINSCELLA PIANO METHOD. Mrs. Una M. Sawyer, Director. The Kinscella Method of piano instructions was introduced into the State Teachers College three years ago and put under the direction of Mrs. Una M. Sawyer. The method has proved to be a success and at present, there are one hundred twenty-five rural school children taking the work. Some of these pupils are three year students. A college car leaves regularly, each day, for the affiliated schools where Miss Goldie Stark, Miss Grace Pennington, and Miss Marjorie Miltz give instructions in the Kinscella Method. 12 Top Row—Lockhart, S, Smith, Wiseman, Johnstone, Siehenaler, Magmiaon.

As a first step in an extensive program of operatic production, a program planned to cover a decade of Kearney College musical history, Prof. George H. Aller has spent the year rehearsing his combined Glee Clubs in the old favorite, “H. M. S. Pinafore.” In the semi-weekly rehearsals with a double cast composed of nearly a hundred persons, Mr. Aller has been assisted by Dr, Noyer, who as coach and critic, gave his time freely. Pinafore, the work of Gilbert and Sullivan is a combination of musical and dramatic ability that bespeaks a successful production. It was first produced in 1878 and has always been well received, especially in America. It is a delightful satire on the British Navy, and alleged incompetency of higher officials. The much overdone courtesy of the Victorian age is cleverly satirized by the First Lord of the Admiralty, who holds that on the seas 1 he expression, if you please— A particularly gentlemanly tone implants” and this contention is as strenuously held by “his sisters and his cousins and his aunts. During the year Pinafore has been given in trial performances at the S. I. S.. New- ark. Alfalfa Center, Riverdale, before a meeting of the D. A. R. and at convocation in the college. The opera will be radiocast from KFKX at Hastings on the evening of May 21. Its final presentation will be the evenings of May 22 and 23 from an im- provised stage at Lake Kearney. —113— WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB. Top Row—P. Burris, T.

Prof. B. H. Patterson, director of the hand and orchestra has recently added to his growing list of musical compositions, a new march, The City Beautiful, which he has dedicated to the city of Kearney. Harry L, Alford, the famous arranger of Chicago, who has scored the composi- tion for full orchestra says, Your march, ‘The City Beautiful,’ is exceptionally good and compares very favorably with your previous offering, 'The Spirit of the K. S. NY‘ In 1917 Professor Patterson’s first composition. The Spirit of the K. S. N., was formally introduced and immediately commanded the attention of such band leaders of note as John Leick, now of Denver; Karl King, most successful composer, formerly with Barnum and Bailey; J. J. Richards, conductor of Rmghng Brothers Band and John Phillip Sousa, who featured this number with his Great Lakes Bank of 300 pieces. The City Beautiful was formally introduced to the students, March 27, 1925 and was also featured at the annual banquet of the Chamber of Commerce, February 12, 1925, in recognition of the honor paid to the city in appropriating its novel slogan. Piano Department. Mrs. J. H. Hull, piano instructor, teaches Music Appreciation and has piano students numbering nearly seventy during the regular school year increasing to one hundred fifty in the summer term. Mrs. Hull in her quiet but effectual way, not only trains her students in skill in technique, but also develops a greater appreciation for the best in music. Her annual recital was given in the auditorium in April. 1925. —119— Placing Bureau. The leaders of the Settlement never lose sight of the ideal of the founders of the institution, that of training the plainsmen to blaze new trails on the frontier, and as they come to other Settlements to lead in the organizations and in the promotion of activities there. After the period of training is completed, and the new leaders are prepared to go out as teachers, the institution has felt its responsibility in helping them to find positions. In response to such a feeling of duty the Placing Bureau came into existence in 1919. Thus the demands for fields in which to work and the requests for service to be rendered have been answered. It has always been the policy of the bureau, which is now composed of Prof. C. H. Skinner, Miss Lulu Wirt, Prof. M. S. Pate, and Prof. R. W. Powell, to use great care in the selection and recommendation of teachers, and having once made a recom- mendation to stay by it in all good faith. Seldom has that faith been misplaced, as is indicated by the fact that when a school has once secured a teacher from the Teachers College it always counts on us thereafter when in need of leaders. t f The Stexy. The “Stexy,” Student’s Secretarial Service Bureau, that clicks away early and late at the north end of the corridor on the second fioor began its existence as an organization of the school in 1923. In the spring of that year, Miss Edith McBride, then president of the Women’s League and Miss Fern Everett, chairman of the finance committee of the same organiza- tion, conceived an idea which resulted in a system of service with the coined title of “Stexy. Carpenters began at once to make a mysterious enclosure and inquiring students learned that a Service Bureau would very soon be prepared to take orders for typing. This work had been taken care of previously by the Extension Department or by chance arrangements made with students from the Commercial Department. The experiment under the original directors proved to be a success and the business has grown steadily as types of service have been increased. Competent students who wish to work find ready employment at the “Stexy” and people who desire typing done appreciate the willing service and reasonable rates. The earnings of the bureau are used in the interest of the Women’s League. Recently two new pictures were purchased for Dean Elliott’s office. The management of the “Stexy” is now under the direction of Miss Alice Fowler who has greatly extended types of service. Students who rush up to the “Stexy window between classes demanding a dramatic selection, a poster made, or a paperoid wallet in which to carry penmanship or drawing papers, or desire to rent a costume for the All School party find their requests materially answered through the courtesy of Miss Fowler. t DR. RALPH NOYER, Director, MABEL P. SCOUTT. Secretary. Extension Service. The Extension Department of the college under the direction of Dr. Ralph Noyer has grown to be a very efficient and prominent organization of the Settlement. It began in 1921 in an inconspicuous corner of the building with little equipment, twenty corres- pondence enrollments and few available courses. It now occupies adequate quarters on the second floor and its branches of instruction include more than thirty courses in which over four hundred fifty students are at present enrolled. Through this administrative agency of distributing service, Nebraska teachers have learned that not only instruction is possible from this bureau, but that help in all lines relative to school routine is willingly rendered. Coaches and judges for declamatory contests, commencement speakers and institute instructors are supplied by the extension director. Materials for measuring processes in education, helps in debating and profes- sional counsel in every line proceed upon request. Letters referring to the refractory son who won’t study his gogerphy lesson are answered as promptly as those relative to safe investments for salaries. A notable cheerful and ready response from the director coupled with dependable counsel and service is directly responsible for the success of this department. In the fall of 1924 the administration considered it advisable to engage a full time secretary for the extension service. Mrs. Mabel P. Scoutt holds this position most ef- ficiently and may in the future take over the greater part of the work of the oflice, leaving the director to do field service in the surrounding country in the interest of the college. I —122— All-School Hall owe’en Party. Puck, the Hallowe’en sprite, arrived for the big party in the gymnasium. Puck’s press agent must have been lively, for one of the largest attendances ever recorded helped him celebrate. An unusual feature of this All-School function was the double arrangement. A parly was held in the Y. M. C. A. rooms and a masquerade dance on the gymnasium floor. At the party the guests were divided into groups of owls, cats, witches and bats, and players were chosen from these groups to participate in contests. Miss Agnes Knutzen. bead of the Kindergarten, Mr, C. H. Skinner, Director of Teacher Training, and Mr. Vern Fryklund. head of the department of Industrial Training, composed the committee which kept up such a lively procession of fun throughout the evening in the Y” rooms. There were four special numbers given at both the party and the dance: A ‘‘Powder Puff Dance,” by Helen Mahoney and Doris Meservey; a “Polish and Peasant Prattle.” humorous reading, by Tressa Ignowski; a jig act by Marion Lowe; and selections by the vocal trio, Beulah Van Skike, Luna Homan, and Armine Lett. Nearly every person present upstairs and down, wore a disguise of some sort. Quite a number completely concealed their identity until t.me to unmask. Elinor Westervelt won the prize for the most novel costume worn by a woman, and Kenneth Smith won the prize for the best costumed man.—Adapted from the Antelope, —123— Th anksgiving Meditation NOVEMBER 26, 1924.

Loan Fund is an annual event in the college. Every year students bring new ideas and new enthusiasm and the result is a bigger festival. The festival began with the sale at the booths late in the afternoon and continued all evening. Immediately after the hot lunch at six-thirty, the side shows started. There was much good-natured rivalry among the barkers advertising for their shows. A splendid attendance enabled the organizations who were staging these stunts to present attractive sums to the Y. W. The Orpheum beginning at eight in the auditorium was managed by a faculty committee consisting of Mrs, Sawyer, Miss O'Connell and Miss Hill, assisted by the Y. W. cabinet. The features of the Orpheum were: Part 1 Classical Age; Part II Jazz Age; Part III Ccmedy— The Man With the Bowler Hat. t t Jdie Nativity Play. Miss Ruby Morris, Director, The Nativity play surrounded by its tradition and beautified by the effects of light- ing and costumes is an annual feature in the college life which brings the school year to an effective close for the holidays. Coming as it does just before the Christmas vacation, it creates an atmosphere of reverence in its sincerity and simplicity. It is now a precedent that the characters are to be played from year to year by the same people whenever it is possible. The C olonial Party. Old time costumes and powdered wigs worn by the modern bobbed-haired ladies and pompadoured gentlemen at the all school party, February, 20, changed them into stately dames and gallant lovers of “ye olden time,” One corner of the gymnasium was set off by screens and furnished as a colonial home. The reality of the setting and the lighting effects gave a pleasing glimpse of the home life in George Washington’s day. Mr. Verne Fryklund, as George Washington, and Mrs. Bessie Black, as Martha, fitted well into the scene and received their guests in quite as graceful and formal a manner as their predecessors must have received theirs. Miss Jennings, as Abigail Adams, received more congratulations, perhaps, and attracted more attention with her extremely quaint costume than any other present. Following the colonial scene was a series of vocal selections by the faculty quartet, composed of Mrs. Black, Mrs, Sawyer, Mr. Stoutemyer and Mr. Aller. The numbers were all old favorites and were thoroughly pleasing. And then came the ever beautiful minuet, presented by some of the members of Miss Knutzen’s plays and games class. Their dance was more than the traditional one of colonial days. It was practically a creation of Miss Knutzen and her pupils, and the presentation by eight couples in costume was effective in grace and rhythm. The colonial party was planned by the members of the Y. W. C, A. cabinet, assisted by members from the Y, M. C, A, To Mr. Engleman, Y. M. sponsor, and to the V. M, cabinet belongs considerable credit for the success of the lighter vein of entertain- ment, the “Field Meet. As the guests arrived they were grouped into “schools,” and after the minuet the “coaches” of the several universities formed into track teams and “rooters,” Earl Dyer was coach for Nebraska University, while Allen Anderson had charge of Chicago, and Lee Harbottle managed the Columbia team. The women “coaches were Gladys Cronk, Amber Hoover and Lillian Hanson, who were in control over Yale, Harvard and Princeton respectively. The events were similar to those of other track meets except for the fun introduced. The “broad jump,” for example, was the sum of “grin” distance, of the four players. I he high jump was the distance measured between the highest and lowest note the player could “jump.” The ninth and final event was an original stunt by each college. The University of Nebraska won first place by its debate, “Resolved, That George Washing- ton Was Not the Father of His Country,” Princeton won the silver medal for its dramatic pantomime representing “Washington Crossing the Delaware,” while Harvard carried off third honors with the singing stunt, “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean.” Princeton won the most points in the entire meet and was awarded the prize, a much be-ribboned hatchet. The beautiful decorative scheme, planned and carried out by Mrs. Wright and her helpers, created the festive atmosphere suited to the occasion. Miss Alice Fowler contributed to the picturesque quaintness of the evening by providing colonial costumes. And to all who planned such a successful party and to all who enjoyed it there remain many remembrances of a pleasant evening. —126— BLUE AND GOLD CONTEST.

Years Ago, —130— Growth “Growth” to a business, is the natural outcome of efficient service. “Growth” to be healthy, is derived from a long- ex- perience with a planned procedure. “Growth” to this great organization of stores has been gradual, continually reaching out to more and more communities. “Growth” has resulted from being faithful to the people, serving them in their everyday needs so as to make their transactions profitable. “Growth” from one Store in 1902 to 571 Stores twenty-three years later, is evidence that it has been merited and while this is the record of this Nation-Wide Institution, it finds its great- est satisfaction in the belief that during all this time it has served well. “Growth” for this great multiple of Stores is the result of that very hearty patronage given to the deserving. “Growth” is to go on and on, for it is ever our aim to expand our service.
