The Blue Gold THE Kearney State Normal doors opened they say, In 1905 on a bright summer day. For thirteen odd years il was known by that name. But in 1918 a State College became. From four hundred-thirty first students enrolled The number increased to 850 we're told, junior diplomas issued a full twenty score. While degrees have been granted—five hundred or more. As our college keeps growing, more instructors arrive Increasing from fourteen to our now sixty-five. The Blue and Gold of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-one Published by The Senior Class of the Kearney Slate Teachers Cull eye at Kearney, Nebraska Dr. A. 0. Thomas Dedication IGLSTUS OKLOFF THOMAS not only makes organizations grow, but himself grows by lhaL process, passing from one plane ol endeavor to higher levels of in- fluence. Superintendent of city schools, commissioner of education for Nebraska and for Maine, he is still better known as founder and builder of institutions. This is his life-work. From the inception of the idea, he has nourished two remarkable projects, planting the seed, foster- ing the growth, rejoicing in the fruition. In Kear- ney he is acclaimed as the first president of the State Teachers College; among the nations he is honored as the president of the World Federation •of Education Associations. To Doctor Thomas—man of vision, man of faith, man of achievement, this hook is dedicated. mmm Vj t j kes. Geo. Martin Foreword E pause for a moment far up tlie iiilher slope of 1931 tn look back upon the land- marks of the past quarter century. As the blue shadows proceed to enwrap the panorama, eyes grow tender, heart throbs quicken, new and higher aspirations re- place the sordid and the mean. Reverently we sa- lute the past. Cheerfully, confidently we face what- ever the future may demand. We must make the next quarter century ever more distinguished than the past. Hail to the broadening horizon! Unknown path or traveled road. tv hi eh is the one to take? It's not the path. or the rate you go, but the imprint that you make. In Memoriam Byron Klein Byron Klvin was born January 7, 1907, and died as rhe result of an automobile accident, August 26, 1930, His school record was excellent. He attended Kearney high school for two years, then with- drew, owing to the illness of his mother. He entered the Training high school after five years, completing the work in June, 1929. The fol- lowing year he spent in K. S. T. C, preparing for his chosen work as a government aviator. Byron was always popular, a leader in school work and in school activities. He had a keen sense of humor and a friendly spirit that cm deircd him to all his acquaintances. He leaves a host of friends to mourn his passing. Elmer Skov Elmer Skov was an all round college man, who found in school activities a development of three sides of his nature--the physical, the mental, the artistic. During his two years at K. S. T. C- he participated in basketball and track, he represented Kearney on the college debate tquad, he served as president of the Theater Arts League, and as editor of the Antelope, A keen mind and marked native ability combined with gay goad-humor and a light heart made him beloved by students and faculty alike. His interest in creative writing led Skov to enroll in the school of journalism when he entered the state university in 1928. He worked on the staff of the Daily Nebraskan, finally be- coming sports editor, and a member of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity. Harold E. Tussing Harold Edward Tussing, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Tussing. was born November 17, 1908, near Odessa. He was called to his Master, May 1, 1930. the victim of an accident at the Odessa railroad crossing. He was always interested in the activities of his school and his home; he was an able leader. His clean, wholesome character was an in- spiration to all who kncwr him. He received his education at Odessa and Elm Creek. He had chosen teaching as his life work, and at the lime of his death was attending ihe State Teachers College at Kearney. He took his work seriously, and was held in high esteem by his preceptors. Always thorough and exact- ing. his work was a model of excellence. Though he sleeps in the silent city, yet he lives in the memories of those who knew him, inspiring (hem to higher things.

March ( . 1951. Professor Sutton had the keen sense «if humor, the devotion to his work, the vision, the indomitable spirit so indis- pensable to the founding and to the de- velopment of a worthy rtlpealional in- stitui ion. Thoroughness, high standards of ef- ficiency, enthusiasm for his work, and inspirational teaching combined with dail y exempli heat ion of clean, lip-right, consistent living, honesty in thinking, sincerity of purpose are tin qualities which made him a Master Teacher. We, his co-workers know him as a courteous gentleman, helpful, capable, lovable, sincere. He never betrayed a friend. He never betrayed a confidence. -11 0). button He would rather he true to his ideals and standards than to he popular. Kearney State Teachers College owes no small part of its efficiency, its stand- ing among colleges, the respect accord- ed it bv the educators of our state to the untiring efforts, to the influence of the one who lias finished I is work among us. What we ail feel most deeply and can find no words to express is our irrepar- able loss in the passing of Professor Sullon ihe teacher. Professor Sutton the mail. He who was ever seeking to under- stand the unknown lias entered upon the most glorious of adventures, the mystery and privilege o( death. Yet he lives and will live in the hearts and lives of students, fellow teachers, and friends than which there can he no greater, no more lasting monument. Page .'4 Mr. II. O. Sutton Mr .

Elliott was a charming hostess at her home at the Motor Lodge Saturday afternoon, January 17, to about thirty-five senior girls and their sponsor, Mrs. Rotnayne Webster. The girls arrived about two-thirty and after everyone had been introduced to everyone else, several contests were held. One was to see who could write first the names of all those present. It was sur- prising to know how many the girls did not know. Clare Flagg was winner of this contest. Her prize was an attractive memorandum book. The second was a race to see who could answer first var- ious facts concerning the college. Max- ine Godfrey was the winner, her prize being a memo pad. Miss Evelyn Boldt, who was in c harge of this part of the entertainment then gave the Seniors an intelligence test on which they did very poorly—“even worse than the Fresh- men would,” she remarked. However, Junior Girls Guests c Mrs. Ruth Elliott, dean of women, en- tertained in a very pleasing manner the Junior girls of K. S. T. C. at her Motor Lodge home Saturday afternoon. Miss Robinson, Miss Boldt, and Miss Enochs and nineteen members of the Junior class were the guests. After a short time spent in making acquaintance with each other, Mrs. El- liott took pleasure in showing the girls the shrubbery and many varieties of trees planted about the lodge. Some very interesting contests were sponsored by Miss Boldt. The first was the “Get Acquainted” contest in which each guest wrote as many of the girls’ names as she could recall. Hazel Daddovv was the winner of first prize. The next was a competition in which each of the girls endeavored to write the “most” facts about K. S. T. C. Orva Meyers proved to be the wisest of the group and won the prize. So now. dear Freshmen, if you have any doubts about to Senior Girls the Seniors didn't feel that the test was very practical. Each Senior chose her own sort of en- tertainment for the rest of the after- noon. There were tables of bridge, rook, somerset, and parchesi. From the sound of the laughter and talking heard everyone enjoyed herself im- mensely at these games. Mrs. Elliott, noted for her delicious luncheons, was not in the least a disap- pointment to anyone present in regard to the refreshments she served. There were nut bread and toasted cheese sand- wiches. garnished with pimento, coffee, raspberry sherbet, cake, and mints and nuts, A color scheme using pastel shades of green, orange, pink, lavender and yellow was used in regard to can- dles, linen, dishes, and glassware. No small detail was omitted even to the dainty green lumps of sugar cut in shapes of hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades. f Mrs. Elliott Jan. 24 the history and status of your alma mater, consult our good citizen. Miss Meyers. Then Miss Boldt gave the junior girls an intelligence test which she had de- vised. After testing its validity on the Seniors, the Juniors were privileged to find their I. Q. This test is one of the best of llie standardized tests: it is easily scored and competes with Otis’ and Terman’s indexes of brightness. Stella Jacobsen, being honored as the most intelligent Junior, was rewarded with a very handsome gift, (dilutee! Compton also received a very pretty present as a “booby” prize. She ex- claimed “It pays to be dumb.” Miss Compton is the newest addition to the Juniors, and the class is sure that this clever young lady will prove to he a verv capable member. In choosing Lhe prizes for the con- tests. Mrs. Elliott carried out the c lass colors, black and while. Pape m __£. tU n l ™$r SOPHOMORES Page 39 Sophomore Class Officers.

The additional work of being a class sponsor was not too great for him, for he served with initiative and resourcefulness.

VV vi neta Sophomore Class History The sophomore class, with only two years of college be- hind it, has a somewhat enviable record of activities and proceedings. From the time of its organization in the fall of 1929 when it chose William as its first president until now the class has been consistently productive. Under the sponsorship of Pro fessor Ryan and Miss Minnie Larsen, when the students were still freshmen, the group succeeded in staging two delightful parties, and in editing a Freshman edition of the Antelope. The presidents of the class, William Richards. Franklin Tay- lor, and Allan Smith, holding office in the order named, were diligent in pursuing the best course for the class. The parties came in the first and third quarters, and the Freshman Ante- lope [the most widely read number of the year) was pub- lished during the third quarter. The second year, as sophomores, the class has continued its activity. Led by Lawrence Grandstaft' as president the first and second quarters ami Allen Smith the third, the class has progressed and prospered. Two of its members, Willis Wolcott and Martha Comstock, were chosen as the most popular students in the junior college. The social functions nave been sufficiently numerous and delightful. The sopho- mores have become an excel lent class with splendid possi- bilities.

UjJV CU ' Page 59 Ted James Ted James, Kearney's Athletic Direc- tor and Head Coach came lo the Ante- lope school with a long and brilliant athletic record. As a member of the Greeley, Colorado High School he dis- tinguished himself in football, basket- ball and track. After being graduated from high school be became a member of the I diversity of Nebraska’s football and track teams. He lettered for three years as center in the days when Ne- braska was noted for its “hone crushing lines” and was selected as a member of the northern team that played in the North-South Charity fray. He was a member of the all-Missouri valley team in 1927-28 and a member of Rock tie's all-Western team in 1928. He received honorable mention as all-American cen- ter in the same year. In track “Ted' lettered as a javelin thrower. When ills college competition ended be played one year of professional foot- ball with the Frankford Yellow Jackets of Philadelphia and then accepted the coaching position at Kearney. In his first vear he turned out the only Kear- ney grid squad In go through a season undefeated. Page 60 Arnold Oehlrich Kearney is fortunate to have as assist- ant eoaeh a man who has as brilliant an athletic record as has Arnold Oehlrich. Oehlrich. after a brilliant high school career at Columbus, played for three years in Nebraska’s backfield. Then for two more seasons he performed for the Frankford Yellow Jackets as a profes- sional. His knowledge of back Acid play was a large factor in the Kearney offense that swept all conference grid opposi- tion aside. In addition to assisting with college football and basketball. Oehl- rich doubles as training school coach. His Young Antelopes romped away with the Sectional tournament, went to the genii-finals in the Regional affair, and finished second in the Tri-valley con- tests. Pago 61 (’apt. LeRoss Williams Nohtii Loup. ’’Cap led llu Antelopes through an undefeated season and to a conference championship, an unprecedented feat in Kearney history. His line play was one of the seven reasons why opposing hack- field men usually stopped somewhere to the rear of the place from which they started. He has another year of com- petii ion. Captain-Klect Merle Trail Clahks. “The Big Trail” will captain the Blue and Cold football men in 1931. Herni- ic“ was another of the seven reasons why Kearney's forward wall was nearly dent proof. He landed a tackle berth on every nil-conference team and made all Mid-Western squad. He has one more year of competition. Page f' 2 It tradi e Brecht lllazek Cooney Football When Ted James looked over his prospective football material, he saw a squad of about sixty eager and willing pupils, eight ni whom had distinguished themselves as letter winners. With these men as a sort of foundation Coach James set about to build a grid machine that was eventually to win the confer- ence laurels. James and his assistant, Arnold Oehl- ricli. introduced a few new muscle de- velopers for the ‘’’Blue and Gold lads, chief among which were a line-man lor- lure device, and a platoon of discarded automobile tires. Just how these were used, on I v one who lias practiced with them and come through alive, can ade- quately describe. However the results seemed quite successful as the white championship sweaters testify. After the season ended, twenty-one players and trainer Varley Grantham received their sweaters. VII hut two of these will report for practice next fall. KEARNEY :i3—McPHEKSON 0. With the memory of last years defeat in their minds, the Antelopes ran amuck in the McPherson College Athletic park. Scoring thirty-three points they served elaborate notice that here was a power- ful team with which one could not trifle. This was the first game that the Ante- lopes played under the floodlights and the evening atmosphere produced no ill effects on the Kearney men as the re- sults will show. Charles Bla .rk. Kearney’s left end scored the first touchdown of the sea- son when he connected with a long for- ward pass from Merrvman. “Eagle' then galloped the interven- ing twenty yards to the goal line. Later in the game Merry man scored two touchdowns and the Tollefsen brothers made one each. Bill Wolcott kicked three extra points after touch- downs. Ungr 63 Hiibben Hendrickson KEARNEY 37- McCOOK 6. A nuictdv field saved the plucky but inexperienced McCook team from a more decisive defeat Kearney made 209 yards From scrimmage while the Junior boys netted but thirty-three. Bill WolcoLl claimed high scoring honors for the evening when he twicp snatched passes and strainpered for touchdowns. Just to prove that lie was not superstitious he raised his twelve points to a baker’s dozen with a place kick after touchdown. 1 Gav” Tollefsen, Maleliou. Graham and Hendrickson also scampered across the goal line once. During the course of the game Coach- es James and Oehlrich used over three full teams. McCook’s lone score came after a blocked punt. KEARNEY 12 GHADRON 0. Playing on Chadron s held, the Kear- ney hoys won their first conference game to the tune o( twelve to nothing. Several times the Eagles came within scoring distance of the goal line, but each time either Casey Merryman’s edu- cated toe sent the bail sailing back to in id-field or a ferocious Kearney line held the red jerseyed boys for downs. Billy oleott s offensive ability al- so contributed largely to the Antelope victory although he did not score. Merry man made the first touchdown in the second quarter and Gaylord Tol- lefsen look the hall across in the last period Lo bring the total number of points to twelve. Both tries for extra points failed. KEARNEY 1 I—WAYNE 7. Playing in their second home engage- ment, Ted James pupils continued their victorious march by defeating Wayne Teachers College I I to 7. The game was a fight from the first, and had enough of uncertainty regarding the final outcome to keep the spectators “on edge during the entire fray. Pag 64 Jordan Mulchow Merryman Noyes Captain Dennis was the main Wildrat star. On more than one occasion lie “ripped” off yard after yard toward the goal line. One of these netted Wayne their only marker. Kearney's touchdowns went to Casey Merryman and Randall Tollefsen. The game was one of straight fool- hall, Neither side completed many forward passes. This victory brought the Blue and Cold squad another step toward the conference crown. Only the University of Omaha blocked the way to a clear title. KEARNEY 34—Omaha 0, Omaha University's Cardinals came to Kearney boasting an uncrossed goal I i ne. During the first half the Antelopes broke this record by sending Casey Merryman over for a touchdown. How- ever, die brand of football played in the first two periods fell far below the Antelope standard. In the third and fourth quarters things happened. rejuvenated Kear- ney line ripped great holes in the Car- dinal forward wall. The backheld be- gan to go places. Omaha “blew up” and the Antelopes scored almost at will. Randall Tollefsen scampered across the goal line three times, Darrell Noyes, a freshman from North Loup, made the longest run of the evening when he ran back Omaha's kick-off to their forty yard line. All that prevented him from going on through for a touchdown was the fact that he ran into his own interference and lost balance. However, he scored the final marker of the game a moment later. Bill Wolcott scored two points after touchdowns by place kicks. Hubbert caught a pass for another and the fourth was allowed when Omaha was off side, Omaha's back field men made but little progress through the line. Jor- Page 5 y linn. Trail.

The second and third strings saw most of the action. I he Kearney hoys started their scor- ing when Darrell Noyes crashed through the Quaker line for a touchdown. Later in the tussle the Genii alites threatened feebly to score but James sent in the first stringers and Tollefsen and Merry man ran the ends and ripped through the line till a touchdown re suited with (nay Tollefsen storing. Later on Brecht and R. Tollefsen also crossed the goal line, Thistle Hendrickson scored two points alter touchdowns by receiving passes. KKARNKA 12 ST. REN EDICTS 0, The Golden Antelopes raced to an- other vic tory at the expense of the St. Benedicts’ team from Atchison, Kansas, Quarterback Randall Tollefsen car- ried the ball across the goal line twice, In score one hundred per cent of the Teachers' points. On the line Kearney's two ends Dody” Graham and “Eagle-eve Rla ,- ek were outstanding, for their tackles slopped many an ambitious purple clad youngster at the spot whence he started. KEARNEY n HASTINGS 0. V record crowd gathered in the Kear- ney Athletic Park on the evening of November fourteenth, and watched the Hastings Bronchos and the Teachers College Antelopes battle to a scoreless tie. Most of the game was played in mid- field and was marked by the remarkable broken field running of Merrier for Hastings. Kearney’s play was bright- ened by Menyman’s beautiful punting, the ferocious tackling of Trail and Rlazck, and Randall Tollefsen’s broken held runs. Page (' ■ I Tscfonbriiii Defiling Wolcott Gran! h.iim After the final whittles sounded on the conferente football fields, the sports writers began I heir annual selection of all con Terence teams. When the compilations were finally made the names of seven Antelope regu- lars adorned the various line-ups. Every one of these will he eligible for com- petition at least another year. Both Kearney ends. Dode Graham and Charlie lilazck. former St. Paul star, landed berths on some of these selec- tions. In the haekfield “Casey” Merry- man and Randall Tollefsen won state- wide recognition. “Pike” Jordan won a “second” all conference position as cen- ter. Captain LeRoss W illiams also made the grade as a first “all conference” se- lection in the line. Merle Trail, nineteen year old Clarks bov. who measures approximately six feet four inches in height, and who lips the scales at two hundred five pounds, was awarded a tackle position on every all cun I err rice team chosen. Further- more. “IJennie” landed a place on one all American eoliege selection. This is the first time that a Kearney grid player ever received this recognition. The natural tendency of sports writ- ers is to “play up I he men scoring the touchdowns, the star punters, the varsity men. Behind these stars however is a group of hoys of whom one seldom hears. They sit on the bench during the home games, and are not listed among those making the trips. They never throw the opposing half hack for a loss, or snateh the winning forward pass from the air. They are the Varsities human door mats, their cannon fodder, the fourth stringers. They are Lhe scrubs. i Without them the Varsity would have nothing on which to practice their of- fense and defense. For this reason the K. S. T. C. student body salutes the Antelope scrubs. They have helped make our champions. 4 L Page 67 Uppct Row—Richard Cooney. Willi Wolcott. Merle Trail.

Kearney’s New Athletic Field The year 1930-1931 saw the dream of main Kearney athletic fans come true, which is In say the Antelopes finally se- cured an excellent athletic field. At present, the stands will accommo- date about two thousand spectators; in a few more seasons Coach James hopes It see over twice that number watch- ing Kearney's Grid Contests, One added feature of the park next autumn will be the new blue grass gridiron The field has been seeded ibis spring. This will make the ball carrier's tumble a bit less jarring as was the case in the days of the hard ground contests. An excellent system of flood lighting is in operation, making night contests in football and track possible. Eve- ning games attract many spectators as business men who enjoy football may more easily attend. Before another track season comes, the Kearney field will have a new and completely cindered quarter mile run- way over w hich spiked artists may scam- per, This will he most appreciated by those athletes who during the present term have had no place to practice dur- ing wet weather. It would be most ungrateful if we failed to acknowledge our appreciation of those who have made possible the Antelopes Park. These persons are tin Kearney business men and President Martin, who have loaned at different times money to the amount of three thousand two hundred seventy-five dol- lars. It is these funds which made pos- sible the present athletic facilities which the athletes of K. S, T. C. enjoy. Page 69 Upper Row—Coach I ,o rr Row—L. ”Tfd Janies. D. Uchling. M, Trail, C.

He served Ins second year as first string center. “Eagle’s” high altitude enabled him to get the tipofl con- sistently. In addition to this he was good at guarding and on more than one occasion his goal shooting helped swell the Kearney score. Coming from the basketball town of St. Paul. Charlie has a brilliant prep school record hack of his collegiate work. He received “all conference mention for the season just completed. Dulwohth Graham “Dodo ’ came to the Teachers College from Kearney high school. This is his first year of college athletics. Coach James used Graham at forward. So well did In perform at this post that he made the all conference team. With the three years of competition yet before him. he should win even higher honors before graduation. Richard Juei.fs “Red Head,” the tall Potter boy, enrolled at the Antelope institution last Sep- tember. He is a good performer, cither on the maple floor or on the football field. As a guard he won “all conference” honors. Next year “Red should he a serious hindrance for all opposing goal shooters. Okamel Kki kcek Krueger was one of the boys that Ted James used to relieve the regular first stringers at various times. However, the Kirn Creek goal shooter was a man whom opposing guards learned to respect. In tin game with Nebraska Aggies he was the main show. Krueger usually played at center. Page 71 H. Nelson G, Tollefscn D, UtrhiiuR L, Williams W. Wolcott Basketball Lettermen Harold Nelson Mels played his second season of college basketball. At guard he teamed at various times with Williams and Juelfs in blocking opposing goal shots. The Brady boy’s fighting spirit and quick thinking were a decided asset to the team. Gaylord Tollefsen “Gay” is another of the Freshmen who made the varsity squad. Coming from an athletic family, he upheld the parental athletic honor on both the football field and on the basketball court. He is one reason why Kearney’s opponents for the next three years, will have much about which to worry. LeRoss Williams Williams is one of those men on whom one can always depend. At guard he played a clean, hard, consistent game and received “all conference” recognition. He lias another year of competition. Willis Wolcott Hill played his third year of basketball. He has at various times during his career served in almost every position on the floor. However, forward seems to he his calling. He always played hard regardless of whether his team was in the lead or hopelessly defeated. Bill coupled with his aggressiveness an ability to score consistently from either the field or from the gift line. Next year, when he com- pletes his athletic competition. Kearney’s athletic mentors will have a hard time filling the gap he must inevitably leave, Douglas Ukhling I elding, who has played amateur basketball for various teams, started bis inter- collegiate playing this year. Ilis height helps his game considerably. “Doug” is another bright spot in Kearney’s athletic future. Watch him next year. PaKe 72 Page 71 TRACK SQUAD. 19 0. Upper Row—J. Lovell. Trainer: R. Wiley, L.

During the last season he entered competition in the quarter, the half mile, and in the discus throw. Harold lias two more years of competition and Kearnev track enthusiasts are expecting much ol him. P e - 7-1 Track 1930 The Antelope’s cinder season was a 11it draJi as far as winning meets was concerned, hut was a decided success so far as individual champions and record makers were concerned. As has been the custom for some years the season opened with the Inter- Class meet. The sophomores won the team honors and “Virg” Kirste, lanky Mend ley youngster, w as high point man and winner of the Fulmer trophy. In the first intercollegiate meet Kear- ney crushed Nebraska Central 119 to 17. The Quakers were able to win hut one first while Fulmer’s men “slammed” the mile, two mile, pole vault, discus, broad jump and won both relays. At the Hastings College relays a Kearney man won the two mile run in record time, and the two mile and the sprint medley relay teams placed third. In the Kansas relays an Antelope’ gal- loped home second in the University class three thousand meters run, plac- ing second to Putnam of Iowa state, and defeating such men as Nagel of Iowa state. McOlrith of Grinnel) (Missouri Valley mile champion) Swaney of Cor- nell and Gresham of Arkansas. In the triangular meet in which Kearney Teachers, Wayne Teachers and Norfolk Junior College participated, the Antelopes were second. They also lost a dual to Wayne. In this meet Kearney won six of the ten track events and lost three of the field events, tied for one and won two. However Wayne “slam- med” the century, the furlong, the shot put and the javelin while the Antelopes were able to do this in only the two mile. Kearney also sent representatives to the Drake Relays and National Col- legiates. During the season Burger and Dusek took turns at cracking the vault record. When they were through with it the hooks credited them with an altitude of about twelve feet. Kirste wrecked the old high hurdle mark when he made 15:8. “Woody ’ Wilson garnered a pair of records in the broad jump and the discus to he exact. “Jimmie” Schu- macher lowered the half mile mark to 2:01 and Lydic ran a 9:45 two mile to establish another new “low” for that event. Lucas tied his own school record in the low hurdles, while Headburg equalled the time in the “two twenty.” In addition to this a quartette composed of Kirste. Schumacher, Carlson and Gall made a new local record in the mile relav. 1931. Lydic won the open half mile run at the annual Kansas City Athletic Club’s indoor meet. The time was 2:02 1-10. The Blue and Gold goes to press be- fore the outdoor season begins and hence it will be impossible to chronicle an account of its accomplishments. However prospects are bright. With such men as Dick Lambert and Ken Worley, former Kearney high speed- sters and state “Prep” champions, and Bill Patton, crack half miler, to rein- force such veterans as Wilson. Watts, Swenson, Carlson. Gall and Bla .ek, all should he well with Antelope traeksters. Page 71 Cross Country For the third consecutive year the Antelope harriers developed into a squad that was equal to almost any team in the stale, if not in the middle west For the second year they won the Midwestern A. A. l!, Championship in (toss country. At the beginning of the season the Antelopes met the Wayne runners in a dual two-mile team race. This was the first lime any of tin Kearney boys had faced intercollegiate competition after night, for the race was “reeled oil be- tween halves of the Wayne-Kearney eve- ning football game. Evidently the night air did not greatly harm Kearney’s long winded gentlemen, for Lydie. Watts and Swenson crossed the finish line ahead of Christensen, the Wayne leader. The second race of the year sent the Antelopes against Hastings College, the only school lliat ever defeated Kearney in dual competition in the “gallop and puff” sport. The golden jerseyed boys were out for revenge and found it. Lydie won the two mile jaunt in 10:15. Walls finished far ahead of Bierman, the Hastings runner. Ins rival for three years of college competition. Swenson won a fourth and the Hastings boys straggled in later. Idle Midwestern A. A. C. Cross Coun- try rare was run over I lie Kearney three and one-half mile course, Kearney Slale Teachers College was the only school which entered in the team Com- petition. However individual entrees included that of C, IL Grilled. former I diversity of [Nebraska distance star. Lydie again won first and Watts gave another exhibition of his sprinting fin- ish. I hat was good enough to Lake a second with some yards to spare and Griffon took third place. The other medal winners were Swenson, who cap- tured fourth honors, and Newman and Carlson, who tied for fifth and sixth.

Her classes in swimming have indicated their popularity by tin crowded pool on recreation days. Fancy diving and the more complicated strokes are taught in the advanced classes. Red Cross life saving emblems are issued after satisfactory examination is passed. Grace and poise are taright by means of dancing classes, which include eurytImiics, ballet, technique, clogging, and folk dancing. The physical education department at K. S. T.

Perhaps, if interest con- tinues. K. S. T. C. may have once more a champion baseball team as in 1907. Tennis The college has a tennis club com- posed of students and faculty members interested in the game. Toward the end of the spring session a tournament usually determines the club’s individual champion.

On December Id, 1924, Mr. Clarence McGregor of Alpha came to Kearney and installed Gamma chapter. The purpose of the organization is to promote leadership and scholarship among college students, and In sponsor any movement which the fraternity feels would benefit the cause of education. The membership is limited to twenty- four active members, chosen from the senior college, and four honorary mem- bers who are affiliated with the college as faculty members. The second quarter of this year’s work was pleasantly concluded with a Valentine Parly. Miss Mary Walker, president of the fraternity, acting as hostess.

Page 1 i u Symphony Orchestra The Stale Teachers College Sym- phony Orchestra was organized six years ago with Mr. R. C. Rogers as its con- ductor. At the time of organizing, there were only fourteen members who were scarcely able to play an ordinary military march. But each year has recorded almost phenomenal growth, not only in membership hut in playing ability, until at the present time the number of members is more than fifty and they are able to play the great masterpieces of orchestral literature. The Symphony is conceded to be one of the very best college orchestras in the entire state of .Nebraska. In addition to promoting the musical growth of those who play in it. the or- ganization has played a most vital part in the cultivation of music appreciation in Kearney. This year the members had progress- ed sufficiently from a technical and musical point of view, to warrant the presentation of world-famous artists as soloists on the regular concerts. The first of these artists to appear was Mr. Leo Podolsky, famous Russian pianist. He played with orchestral accompani- ment the Danse Sacree and Danse Pro- fane, by Debussy. The orchestra mem- bers worked very hard to perfect the accompaniment and were fully rewarded when Mr. Podolsky said. “The accom- paniment has been most excellently pre- pared. I am greatly surprised to find such a wonderful orchestra here.

In the first place, the demands of the play in quality and quantity of material are such that it should not he attempted in a school smaller than ours, and could not be presented suc- cessfully in many schools of even this size. The fact that the production was generally considered one of the most artistic and effective entertainments ever seen in Kearney, professional or ama- teur. speaks highly for the producer. Mr. Louis Diercks, for the conductor, Mr. Raymond C. Rogers, for the dramatic critic. Mrs. Miriam Eckhardt Drake, for those who took part in any way. and for the college which sponsored it. In the second place, it was the first time the personnel of the annual choral pro duelion has not been limited to the college itself. The story centers about the poet war- rior, Francois Villon. By his unlimited bravado he ingratiates himself onto the throne of France for a day. Huguette du Hamel, a girl of the Paris streets, loves him and dies for him. But it is Lady Katherine de Vancelles whom he loves and whose love he finally wins Naturally some parts of the play were more effective than others. The opening tavern scene was a marvel of aesthetic treatment for an amateur production. Here especially were even the slightest movements of the choruses worked out with reference to the general effect. The scene was an interesting one- -the tavern with the doorway at the back under the stairs, and the flagons of wine standing about the room. At the right was a large cathedral like a window' through winch the audience saw Lady Katherine for the first time, singing Only a Rose.” The Song of the agabond’’ chorus, with Francois leading his bedraggled ragamuffins, was one of the highest points of the performance. The ob- servatory scene- King Louis and the Astrologer—was significant in its sub jligating all else to a mood of prophecy and symbolism. Part IV was also an intense study of mood—the irony of the church and the gibbet so close—eo close, and the still more intense irony of a solemn, quiet procession filing corner- wise to mass and emerging expecting to see a man with his feet sometimes in the gutter, sometimes among the stars swinging on the gibbet. Here were possibilities for drama and here, fitting- ly, the production reached its climax and its dose. Page I 21 Upper Row—W. Baxter, R. Burch. H. Dadtlou, Mrs. Eliott, V. Drum. T. Erwin.

The Woman’s League sponsors the college ”Slc . which efficiently hand- les all typing which college students may desire. The Stexy also takes «are of subscriptions for teachers’ magazines. The proceeds from this ser- vice bureau lias made it possible for the Women’s League to make a number of worth while contributions to the school. A seventy-five dollar contribu- tion to the Harriett Sutton Memorial Organ Fund was made. Other contribu- tions have been attractive pictures, an antique tea service of brass, attractive china dishes for school parties and teas, table linen, drapes for the office of the s League Dean of Women, furniture for the room used as the “Stexy” office, fifteen lawn seats for the campus, a drinking foun- tain on the third floor of the main build- ing, and one hundred dollars for the new stage curtains.
