I onhenh Book I Administration Book II Classes Book III Organizations Book IV Features Book V Athletics Book VI Advertising George E. Martin President The Faculty Personal and Otherwise t t Conducting a teachers college without a laboratory school would be nothing less than mere sham. It would be on a par with taking swimming lessons by correspondence; on a par with learning to fly an airplane by studying the picture of die mechanism. The A. O. Thomas Elementary School and the A. O. Thomas Junior and Senior High Schools compose the laboratory school of the Kearney State Teachers College. One could not exist without the other. At the head of this laboratory school is Dr. Hans C. Olsen, Nebraska’s friend of education, and the friend of every educational neophyte. Scholarly, alert, progressive Dr. Olsen, surrounded by highly trained co-workers and assistants, directs the training of the men and women who come to Kearney to prepare for the teaching profession. The present high standard in the laboratory school has been attained by Dr. Olsen during his nine years of intelligent leadership. The mark of progress of Kearney State Teachers College shows itself no where more pronouncedly than in the laboratory school; hence the dedication of this annual to Dr. Olsen is most fitting. Dr. Olsen took his doctorate at Columbia. A. E. Burke is the one man on the college faculty who, throughout his seven years of pro- gressive work as principal of the A. O, Thomas High School, has never allowed his endless hours or the constant demands for his time to dwarf his interest in boys and girls, Art” is every pupil’s friend, and every student’s trusted adviser. He may frequently remind his listener of his Hoosier training, but should he forget this little display of pride, the listener would soon note the Hoosier quality, the Hoosier characteristics. The busiest man on the campus, the contact man between college and town, Mr. Burke always takes his time for his Chesterfields, his coffee and hamburger. He received his bachelor’s and his master’s de- gree from Indiana University. As one might expect, Helen Kennedy, assistant principal of the A. O. Thomas High School, is interested in poetry. Every student teacher in the English department of the high school dedicates herself or himself To Helen,” and emerges from the experience a better teacher of English. For six years she has been training teachers of English, and guiding the destiny of the reading experiences of the high school boys and girls. She has studied in Indiana State Teachers College, the University of Chicago, and the University of Iowa, from which she has her master’s degree. Ask the boys of A. O, Thomas High School who guides their athletic destiny and they will tell you Glenn W. Durflinger, alias Daddy.” Educated at the Colorado State Teachers College, Mr. Durflingcr has been supervising the teaching of mathematics in the A, O. Thomas High School for four years. He has served on several important college committees, and is recognized as being a tireless, progressive worker. Joining the faculty of supervisors two years ago, Florin Carlton Williams, another Hoosier, soon was recognized as the heavy weight” among the critics. He has no hobbies, no pastimes, no diversions; he is equally at home among scientists, students of the classics, and school administrators. At present, how- ever, he contents himself with the supervision of the teaching of general science and Latin. He has his master’s degree from Indiana University. A graduate student of the National University of Mexico, with graduate work at the University of Colorado, and a master’s degree from the Colorado State Teachers College, Belle Gleasnian supervises the French and Spanish classes in the A. O. Thomas High School, and the eighth grade English in the Junior High School. She has been at Kearney State Teachers College for six years. Elda Stubbs, supervisor of grades seven and eight, in the Junior High School, has been on the faculty for five years. During the summer session at Kearney, she teaches courses in geography. Vernette Moore, supervisor of grade six, has her degree from the University of Iowa, and has been on the faculty for two years. Anna Van 9 Agnes K. Anderson J. T. Anderson Chari.es Apel Bessie S.

Foster Fred Roy Fulmer Belle Gleasman J. D. Hansen Emma E. Hanthorn Ethel W. Hill Page Ten Brussell is an Iowan, foncf of the tall corn, and enjoys being in California for Iowa Day, She received her undergraduate work at Iowa Wesleyan College, the oldest college west of the Mississippi River having had continuous existence. She has her degree from the Uni- versity of Iowa, and has been supervising grades five and six for three years. Recipient of two degrees from the Colorado State Teachers College, Blanche Skinner has been supervising grades three and four for four years. Miss Skinner is well known for her progressive methods, her careful training of teachers, and her devotion to the profession. Recognized as of undisputed first rank as a teacher of primary work, and as a trainer of primary teachers, Malvina S. Scott has been in her present position fourteen years. So well known is her work in the teaching of reading, the Scott trained teachers are sought in many parts of the state. Like so many of Kearney's critic teachers, Letitia Ellicott is a product of the Colorado State Teachers College. She has been supervisor of grade two for three years. Her hobby is interior decoration—plus, always being happy. Whenever one wants to see mankind in the making, he visits a modern, progressive kindergarten. Whenever one wants to see what many educators believe to be the best teach- ing in the whole public school system, again he goes to the kindergarten. The kindergarten of the A. O. Thomas schools is a busy place during the five school days. Watching over the group attentively as any mother could watch over her own children, Agnes Knutzen Anderson, a specialist in kindergarten work, plans and directs the activities through which the little children further their understanding of the life and world about them. Working with her are teachers in training, young ladies who expect to go out and control classrooms of their own. After having studied in the Art Department of the University of Nebraska, the Penn sylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Chicago Art Institute, Minneapolis Handicraft Guild, New York Art League Landscape School, and after having been a pupil of Anshultz, Parker, Chase, Hawthorne, Brecken ridge, Carlson, Batch elder, and Johnnot, Marion C. Smith came to Kearney Normal and liked it so well that she has stayed, and is now one of the few re- maining pioneer members of the faculty. Minnie E. Larsen, with her master's from the Uni- versity of Chicago, has been teaching art in the Kearney State Teachers College for nine years. Miss Larson is a living example of the contradiction to the belief chat all artists are temperamental. W. E. Bruner, Ph. D., is one of the more recent additions to the faculty. Dr. Bruner has been head of the Biological Science Department for two years. He has his degree from the University of Nebraska, If it's bugs, or if it's worms; if it’s birds, or if it's beasts you want to know about, you can get your information from Carrie E. Ludden, who has for twenty-five years been not only teaching teachers, but has also been interesting teachers in Nature, Recipient of his master's degree from the University of North Dakota, Charles Apel has been head of the Commercial Department of the college for six years. Charley is a champion bridge player, is fond of chess, and likes all athletic sports, Ethel Craig Sutton has her master’s from Columbia. For thirteen years she has been teaching typewriting in the college. Mrs. Sutton has served on the most important committees of the college. She is a member of National Association of Penmanship Teachers and Supervisors. Mildred Payne is a Missourian, with her A, M. degree from the University of Missouri. She has been teaching shorthand at the college for two years. A member of the National Geographic Society, Donald Keller has been at the head of the Earth Science Department for six years. He has his master’s degree from Clark Uni- versity. When the United States Office of Education wanted a man to carry on an extensive investigation in the field of secondary education, it sent for William H. Ziegel, Jr. Dr. 78133 Page Eleven Howard H. Hill Alma Hosir Mrs. Lucy P. Hull Anna V. Jennigs Donald Keller Helen Kennedy Walter Klehm Ida M. Ladiges Minnie E. Larson Elsie Leake Carrie E. Ludden Lyle E. Mantor Vernette B. Moore Cora O’Connell Or ro C. Olsen Hans C. Olsen M. S. Pate Mildred M. Payne Paul Pence Pauline E. Phillips Gml F. Powell Ziegel is a Missourian, with his master’s and his doctor’s degree from the University of Missouri. After returning from the Office of Education, Dr. Ziegel accepted the position as head of the Education Department of the college. In his field, Dr. Ziegel is recognized as an authority. It is expected that the Education department of a teachers college should be the most outstanding department. Likewise, it is expected that such a department should have an authority as its head. This we have � n Dr. Ziegel. Calmness, dignity, culture, scholarship—these qualities come instantly to mind when- ever one thinks of Lula E. Wirt, for twelve years a devoted professor in the Education De- partment of the college. She has her master’s degree from Columbia. H. G. Stout has his master’s degree from the University of Nebraska, and is there this year, on leave of absence, working on his doctor's degree. He has been in the Education De- partment for six years. Vaughn C. Wallace, Ph. D., joined the faculty of the Education Department at the opening of the second quarter of this year. His particular hobbies are eating and watching basketball games, Almost all modern conversation,” John Cowper Powys has said, when not between lovers or book-lovers, is a silly interruption of the secret ecstasy of life.” No one can say he has wasted his time who has spent an hour with Mary Major Crawford, for her con- versation, sooner or later, turns to literature. Doubtless she has made more lovers of Brown- ing than has any other teacher in the Middle West. Miss Crawford has been connected with the English Department for twenty-seven years. She is a member of Sigma Tau Delta and Chi Delta Phi, Cora O’Connell, for twenty-four years connected with Kearney State Teachers College, has her master’s degree from Columbia LJniversity. At present she is Professor of the English Language and Literature, Miss O’Connell is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, j. Clark Weaver, author of one-act plays, dramatic coach, and speech specialist, took his early training in the State College of Washington, and his Ph. M. degree from the Uni versity of Wisconsin. He has been connected with the English Department for three years. Professor Weaver is a member of Pi Kappa Delta, Sigma Tau Delta, and the American College Quill Club. For the last two years he has had charge of the dramatic work of the college, j. D. Hansen received his academic and his scientific speech training at the Uni- versity of Iowa, For the last two years he has been the college debate coach, and has super- vised the Speech Department of the A, O. Thomas High School. His work is his hobby. When the charming Irish poet wrote his now famous poem about the London seam- stresses he not only relieved the sweat-shop conditions under which those unfortunate women had to work, he also turned the work of the seamstress into an art. Home Economics is now an art. In the Home Economics Department of the college there are two artists: one with the needle; the other in the dining room and kitchen. Louise Enochs has been training teachers in the art of sewing, in the wise selection of materials, and in the art of being well- dressed, for the last seven years; while Bernice D. Dunlavey, a master of science from the University of Nebraska, has been in charge of the Foods and Cooking division of that de- partment for the last two years. Walter Klehm has been head of the Industrial Education Department of the college for five years, and has been in the department for six. His hobby, so he says, is golf; how- ever, it is not confined to that sport. He can turn his knowledge into practical use, and design a house, build it, and then win a city-wide contest for beauty of structure and de- sign, Mr. Klehm has his master’s degree from the University of Illinois. Running the In- dustrial Education Department without Otto Olsen would he unthinkable as running the college without a president. Mr. Olsen has been in the department for fifteen years. It is one thing to know a subject and pass on that subject to willing listeners; it is still something else to love a subject and transfer that love to both willing and unwilling list- eners. It is one thing to be interesting; it is still something else, and for a teacher, some- thing else more important, to he enthusiastic about a subject. It is one thing to teach the me- chanics of a foreign language; it is still something else to teach the spirit of the language, im Richard W. Powell Hazel Rea Alice M. Robinson Raymond C.

Robinson, for seven years head of the Latin Department, has been enthusiastically teaching students to compre- hend both the mechanics and the spirit of the Latin language and literature. She has her A. M. degree from the University of California, and has studied abroad under the direc- tion of the American Classical League. Macaulay detested mathematics, and all that he ever wrote shows the lack of disciplined thinking. M. S. Pate has been turning our teachers of mathematics for the last eighteen years. He has his master’s degree from the University of Nebraska. He says bis main hobby is golf, but judging by his faithful service on the Athletic Board he musr care immensely about athletics. Emma E. Hanrhorn, for twenty years connected with the Mathematics De- partment of the college, has her A. M. degree from the University of Southern California. Miss Hanthorn has been called the most human teacher” on the faculty. She is serving on some of the most important college committees, and has consistently lent her support for better college teaching. Modern language and the welfare of college students absorb the whole life of Alma Hosic, who has for twenty-eight years headed the Modern Language Department of the college. In the summer of 1908, Miss Hosic studied abroad. She has her master’s degree from the University of Nebraska. Recognized by the Hispanic Society of America, a stu- dent in the universities of Spain and of South America, Ethel W. Hill has been teaching Spanish at the college for the last eleven years. Raymond C. Rogers, head of the Music Department, is now on leave of absence for further study in his field. Mr. Rogers has studied in Berlin for one year, and is now a grad- uate student at Columbia University, Mrs. H. J. Hull lias been teaching piano at the college for sixteen years. Recitals given by her pupils are looked forward to by students of the col- lege as being the chief events of their musical interests. Esther Bundy is known as the Willing Worker of the college. Whenever anything is to be accomplished expeditiously, correctly, and meritoriously, it is given to Esther.” Now for eight years she has been teaching music at the college, and incidentally serving on her share of committees. She has her master’s degree from DePauw University. Pauline E, Phillips has her Diploma in Supervision from Crane Musical Institute, and has studied at Syracuse University, LJniversicy of California, and Columbia. For six years she has been supervising music in the A. O. Thomas Elementary School. Paul Pence joined the faculty of the Music Department in 1932. Mr. Pence says that old stuff about musicians being temperamental is false, and his life and work are sufficient proof of his contention. Harlan Shennum is a product of Kearney State Teachers, who, after a year’s work in high school, returned to take charge of the band. The best liked coach in Nebraska,” is the way that Fred R. Fulmer is usually men- tioned by bis boys.” Mr. Fulmer is head of the Physical Education Department, and has been in his present position for thirteen years. He has his M. S. degree from Washington State College. Howard H. Hill joined the Physical Education Department of the college in the fall of 1933, and served as football coach during that season. Mary E. Whitney has her master’s degree from New York University. She has been in charge of physical edu- cation for women for the last two years. Warren H. Steinbach, Pb. D., is a member of the American Chemical Society, Sigma Xi, Phi Lamdba Upsilon, and the Nebraska Academy of Science. Since 1931 he has been at the head of the Physical Science Department. The most traveled man on the faculty is C. A. Foster, Professor of Physics. Mr. Foster has his A. M. degree from the Colorado State Teachers College, and has been at Kearney for five years. Mr. Foster says bis bobby is gardening. The greatest need for trained teachers is generally thought to be in the rural schools. It is with pride that Kearney College refers to her Rural Education Department and the ♦ Page Fifteen affiliated schools. The success of this department has been attained through the expert leadership of R. V. Powell during his fifteen years as head of that department. Gail F. Powell, besides conducting classes in the Rural Education Department, is actively associated with the Nebraska Congress of Parents and Teachers, of which she is the State Executive Secretary. Mrs. Powell has been in her present position for fourteen years. No subjects in the academic world have been so frequently put to first-handed use dur- ing the last three years as chose taught in the Social Science departments of our colleges. No department in Kearney College has been more professionally conducted, more pro- gressively administered than that headed by Lyle E. Mantor. At present Mir. Mantor is on leave of absence to finish his doctorate at the University of Iowa. Mr. Mantor has been at the head of the Social Science Department for the last seven years. He is a member of the American Historical Association, Nebraska State Historical Society, and of Delta Sigma Rho. For an even dozen years Jennie M. Conrad has been teaching Social Science for her main professional activity, and pulling weeds in her back yard for a pastime. Miss Conrad has her A. M. degree from Columbia University. Miss Conrad has earned from the stu- dents the justifiable label of being Kearney Collegers most enthusiastic teacher. President Martin once said something to the effect that we were coming more and more to see that the center of any college is the library. Students can not long remain on the cam- pus without coming into conflict, pleasantly or otherwise, with the dean of Nebraska College Librarians, Anna V. Jennings. A Kearney graduate was heard to say, We not only have the best library of any college in the state, but we also have the best librarian.” Doubtless this student meant a woman trained to run a library efficiently, effectively, and meritoriously. But Miss Jennings, with all her ability, could not have the success she has were it not for the efficient co-workers she has chosen. Hazel Rea, an A. M. from the University of Illinois, has been library cataloguei for four years. Floy C. Carroll, an A. M. from the LIniversity of Illinois, has been supervisor of the laboratory school libraries for five years. No college is stronger or more efficient than its administrative officers. Bessie S. Black, bursar; Edith M. Smithey, registrar; Dorothy C. Williams, secretary to the president; Elsie Leake, secretary of extension. Efficient, kind, helpful, these officers of the Interior” are also the officers who see that the machinery of the college keeps moving, that the instructors keep earing as well as working, and that the students are officially enrolled, and eventually officially graduated. Ruth E. Elliott has been dean of women for twelve years. Her hobbies are flowers and —girls. J. T. Anderson, Ph. D., has been associated with the college for seven years, the last three of which he has been dean of men and Professor of Education. Two early acquaintances of George E. Martin were one time discussing him, when one said to the other, Martin has grown belligerent of late years,” Whereupon the other replied, No, he hasn’t. I doubt that he weighs more than he did ten years ago.” Truth or fiction, no man could relish the attenuated pun more than President Martin. Being either Per- sonal” or even Otherwise” about such an educator, administrator, and friend of youth as George E. Martin might call forth belligerent remarks from students and faculty. The Edi- tors of Harper’s and The Atlantic Monthly, to whom I am indebted for the style of this feature, would doubtless say, For further information, consult Who’s Who,” —CALVIN T. RYAN.

It was organized in 1913, and Kearney received its chapter in 1924. Each odd-numbered year the fraternity spon- sors thirteen provincial conventions in the various districts; in each even-numbered year a national convention and tournament is held. The fraternity also sponsors a magazine, which is published four times a year. This year the national tournament was held in Lexington, Kentucky, April 2-6. Glen Borden, George Henigan, Don Smith, and Lehan Tunks represented this college in debate and extemporaneous speaking in this tournament as well as in the St. John’s Invitation Tournament at Winfield, Kansas, and the State Forensic Tournament at Hastings, Ne- braska. Victor Edney spoke in the Old Line Oratorical Contest at Crete, Nebraska. In addition to these activities, the fraternity sponsored an intra-mural speaking contest to which all students were eligible, an all-school dance, and its annual pledging banquet. The membership of this fraternity is limited to those who display superior ability and interest in forensics. In recognition of tlicir fulfillment of these requirements, Victor Edney. Glen Bor- den, and George Henigan were elected to membership this year.

The active membership is limited to fifteen members elected from juniors and seniors who arc English majors, and graduates who arc English teachers. Undergraduates and grad- uates meeting the scholarship requirements but who are ineligible for active membership may be associate members. This year the annual Christmas dinner for active and alumni members of the fraternity was given in the Italian room of the Fort Kearney Hotel. Mr. George E. Martin, president of the college, was speaker of the evening. Eighteen members were present. During the second quarter Sigma Tau Delta sponsored the annual freshman writing contest. Dean Lindgren received the National Freshman medal for his familiar essay '’Con- cerning Beds.’ For her essay on Sleep” which won second honors, Vesta Wilcox received the medal given by Mr. Ryan, The essays were printed in The Antler,” the literary maga- zine published by the fraternity during the third quarter. 4 It.ilph Forlna Page Forty-live C.

The purpose of the Student Government Association is to promote the scholastic and moral tone of the college; to maintain high standards of honor and loyalty; to strengthen cordial relations between faculty and students; and to exercise delegated powers over the conduct of the students on and off the campus. The council is composed of the president, vice president, secretary, two representatives from each of the four classes, and two faculty representatives. Each year the council publishes a student handbook, a copy of which is placed in the hands of the students at the beginning of the fall term. This handbook contains the constitution of the Student Government Association, traditions of the school, school yells, songs, and a list of the organizations and extra-curricular activities. The Student Government Association of the State Teachers’ College at Kearney is a member of the National Student Federation of America. EiFort has been made this year to strengthen this relationship.

Louise Stone, a member of the National Council. There were seventeen charter members The purpose of Beta Pi Theta is to further interest in all things French: music, drama, art, literature, the language, and the country itself. Membership is open only to students of at least sophomore rank, who have a high grade of scholarship. The programs under the supervision of Ruth Reddy have consisted of French skits, musical numbers, poetry, and discussions in French of various phases of current history. As a part of the work this year, the fraternity presented La Poudre aux Yeux,” a one- act play, in convocation. The organization also sponsored as part of its work, Le Cercle Francais, the club for beginning French students Page Fifty-five Page F illy- jix William Little Mr. GrorRf E.

Halvor Christensen Doris Nelson________________Corresponding Secretary _______________Mary Moore Xi Phi is an organization founded in the belief that an institution of higher learning should not only develop the intellectual powers of its students, but should also recognize and deliberately foster the capacity for leadership.” Thus eligibility for membership in the fra- ternity is based on qualities of leadership and scholarship. Only those students who have completed ninety-nine hours of accredited college work with an average of at least B,n that is, three honor points for each hour of college work attempted, are considered for membership in Xi Phi. Moreover, scholarship alone does not make them eligible. They must have held prominent positions at the head of extra-curricular organizations recognized by the college. Xi Phi fraternity originated at the Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia when a group of students selected from the various organizations of the school united their energies in a systematic effort to raise funds for the erection of a memorial building on the campus. The successful completion of this project proved the value of such a unit to the college, and in February, 1923, organization as a fraternity was formally effected. In recognition of a need in our own college for organized cooperation and effort, a committee of faculty members met in May, 1924, and submitted the names of a number of students who had proved their ability for leadership. These formed the nucleus for the or- ganization, on December 13 of the same year, of Gamma chapter of Xi Phi fraternity, which since that time has honored more than two hundred senior college students with membership. The chapter held its annual Christmas dinner this year in the Italian Room of the Fort Kearney Hotel, on December 9, with fifteen alumni members present. Mr, C. T, Ryan, one of the sponsors of the chapter, welcomed the alumni, for whom Miss Catherine Boyle re- sponded. Mrs. Madge Christlieb was in charge of the program, which included musical numbers by a girls quartet and by John Kendall, young violinist, and excerpts from alumni letters. Following this Mr. R. V. Clark, superintendent of the State Industrial School, ad- dressed the members of the fraternity. The alumni present were the Misses Catherine Boyle, Erma Shirly, Ruth Burch, and Dorothy Williams, all of Kearney; Geneva Shipton, Cozad; Mary Walker, Gothenburg; Elizabeth Swancutt, Bloomington; Ruth Schini, Amherst; Pearl Phillips, Sumner; Lillian Hanson, Lexington; Estella Jacobsen, Riverdale; Mesdames Idarosc Saunders and Mildred Hansen, both of Kearney, and Messrs. Roy Nelson, Riverton, and George Burger, Litchfield. A new venture of the chapter this year is the publication of a news letter, to be sent to all alumni. A hint of such a project in the invitations to the dinner brought such enthusiastic response that the idea was carried through. This letter, four pages typewritten and mimeo- graphed, contains accounts of the activities of Gamma chapter for the year, and a roster of all alumni members, including addresses and present occupation of all those about whom such information was secured. Doris Nelson headed the committee responsible for the publication of the letter, and Wayne Wilson effected the make-up and multiplication of copies. This year, as is customary with the organization, Xi Phi is recognizing scholarship and leadership in the sophomore class by giving an award to the woman and to the man of that class with most leadership points and highest scholarship. The winners of last year's awards were Ruth Bishop and James Hanthorn. Fern Butler and Vernon Vaughn received honor- able mention. Page Fifty-seven Annalifi Efkhardi, Frances Klinsinsmilh.

This year, the society celebrates its twenty-fifth anni- versary. Records from the secretaryJs book, scrap books, and pictures have furnished special interest to the members of the Sodalitas of 1933-34. Members of the society are students who have two years of Latin or arc enrolled in the Latin Department of the College. The Sodalitas Latina brings them to a better understand- ing of the Latin language and its people, furnishes suggestions for Latin teachers, and serves as a social means of increasing the spirit of unity and association among all Latin students. I History Club To encourage a study of Nebraska history and to show teachers how to collect and or- ganize material on this subject. Professor C. N. Anderson organized the History Club in 1911, which makes it one of the oldest organizations on the campus. Now all phases of social science are discussed. At the October meeting Oletha Mackie exhibited Indian curios and described the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Margaret Crawford Kriz discussed the music and dances of the Indians. Heap Big Indian Chief Mantor then called the braves and tribes to a big Indian Pow Wow and Campfire to entertain Heap Big Indian Princess Mantor. After the tribes of the North, the South, the East, and the West had entertained, they feasted on dog, dough- nuts, and coffee. The Bums” assembled on the third Saturday in November for a Bum” convention in the Gym where Gerald Danskin and Vera Rydberg were crowned king and queen of the Bums. At this meeting President Martin spoke on The Influence of Racketeering on the Individuals of the United States.” January 22, Marie Hald spoke to the club members concerning things of interest which she had seen in Washington, D. C. Since the town was excited with the robbery of the bank, the club had a splendid atmosphere for a Racketeer party in Case Hall. After staging a Great Pearl Robbery the thugs went through the long tunnel guarded by bandits and assembled in the dug-out.” The last meeting of the year is always a picnic at Fort Kearney. Members.

The first officers were: President, Mr. Ben Weisel; vice president, Miss Della Bower; secretary. Miss Evelyn McQuire. It is the objective of those interested in this organization to develop leadership ability. Members are given this opportunity by participating in regular club programs, and using their talents in furnishing high standard programs for this and other communities Several plays have been presented by its members this year at various P. T. A. programs. Lectures presented by persons acquainted with rural conditions give the members an additional oppor- tunity to know about rural community problems.

At the last business session of each quarter, new officers are elected. The meetings of the club are held the first and third Thursday of each month from seven until eight. Following the business meeting different types of programs are given. Not all of the programs are of a serious nature. The initiation of new members, the Christmas party at the home of Miss Ludden, and the play, Our Aunt From California, are among the enjoyable activities of the year. That the club is recognized as one of the best is shown by die fact that it has the full number of members allowed by the constitution. Its large membership is due to the enthus- iasm shown by the girls, and to the good quality of work done. Members.

Many characters, from Don Quixote to a small Spanish dog, have been por- trayed by various members of the organization. La Sociedad Espanola was organized in the fall of 1923 under the direction of Miss Ethel Hill who is still the sponsor. The aim of the organization is threefold: to give the students a broader knowledge of the Spanish speaking people through a study of their his tory, customs and mode of life; to afford a means of making practical that which is learned in the class room; and to enrich the lives of its members by their association with one another. The programs have consisted of short plays and skits in Spanish, musical numbers— vocal and instrumental, readings, and reports. Spanish games during the social hour have also added to the enjoyment of the meetings. The popularity of the club has been evidenced by the large attendance and the interest which the members displayed by participation in the programs presented.

S. T. C. who have been employed, on the basis of certain qualifications, to assist in the operation and general upkeep of the school. Since K. S. T. C. began to function, in 1905, students have been employed by the in- stitution to assist in the successful operation of the school. Consequently, this department is one of the oldest organizations in K. S. T. C. It has been growing with the college and, until the past few years, has been active as an organization. Miss Anna V. Jennings, the librarian, has been a strong advocate for the student em- ployment system since K. S. T, C. was founded, and has had no small share in its develop- ment. Mr. George Arnold, who has been supervisor of buildings for twenty years, has al- ways worked faithfully for a better and more efficient janitor force. The purposes of the department always have been to produce the most efficient service possible for students and faculty, and to aid those students who are worthy, in obtaining work so that they may be able to enroll. However, because of existing appropriations, student salaries have been cut to approximately twenty cents an hour, which is considerably lower than salaries under the N. R. A. The qualifications taken into consideration in this department, are worthiness, and the ability and will to work. Special emphasis needs to be placed on the first qualification, worthiness,” because it has been the policy to employ only those who absolutely find it nec- essary to work in order to attend college. Recently, because of the increasing demand for college employment, other qualifications have been considered necessary for positions. The student must not only be worthy of a position, but also must be above average in scholastic ability. Page Seventy-i Third Row— T. Schneider. C. ColRaii. E. Hassel, G, Rhinestone. L. Strand. N.

Mr. Paul Pence is the directcr and Ralph Fortna is the accompanist. This year the group has appeared locally in concerts for churches, clubs, and conven- tions. The only out-of-town concert was given in Amherst, In conjunction with the St. Cc- cilians, the Ensemble presented the choruses in the opera Martha” and several musical pro- grams. In order to become a member of the organization it is necessary to compete with the best voices in the school. From this chosen group, a quartet is selected which assists the En- semble in concerts and also appears as an independent organization. The Men’s Ensemble makes ever)' effort to develop a superior technique. K. S. T. C. Symphony The K. S. T. C. Symphony was organized eight years ago by Professor R. C. Rogers, Head of the Music Department. During the first year, the orchestra consisted primarily of cornets, saxophones and a few stringed instruments and scarcely deserved the name of or- chestra. The membership increased rapidly until now it is one of the finest symphonies in the state. For several seasons the orchestra has made brilliant accomplishments. Outstanding in success have been the tours, the concerts with famous soloists and the orchestration for two grand operas. During 1913 and 1934 the symphony appeared in many programs. Accom- panying the senior play 'A Midsummer-Night's Dream,” it played the Overture, Scherzo. Intermezzo, Nocturne, Wedding March, and incidental music from Mendelssohn’s musical portrayal of the play. In the absence of Mr. Rogers, the orchestra has been under the direction of Mr. Har- land Shennum, conductor of the Kearney State Teachers’ College Band. J t Psec Eighty-three K. S. T. C. Band O.

At the Fair Lady Harriet and Nancy meet two young farmers, Lionel and Plunket, who believing the women to be servants, wish to employ them. The girls in the spirit of fun accept, but find they are legally bound for one year. Arriving at the farm house Lady Harriet gives her name as Martha and Nancy calls herself Betsy Ann. After the men have retired for the night the girls escape through the aid of Sir Tristan, an old beau of Lady Harriet. Sometime later the young farmers who still regret the loss of their beautiful servant” girls with whom they have fallen in love, come to the Tavern to watch Queen Anne and her hunting party, Plunket recognizes Betsy Ann and demands that she fulfill her contract. Nancy’s friends drive him away. Then Lionel arrives and sees his Martha dressed as a Lady. Grief over the loss of his love drives him to distraction, Lionel is really the son of the lost Earl of Darby. He has a ring which proves his claim and his name and fortune are restored by the Queen. But Lionel can think of nothing but Martha. Hoping he may regain his sanity. Lady Harriet, Nancy, and Plunket have arranged that Lionel shall see his Martha at the Fair again dressed as a servant. Immediately Lionel’s mind clears and the lovers are reunited. Lucie Wes ten soprano, who is a star from the Chicago Civic Opera Company, sang the role of Martha.” The aria, Tis the Last Rose of Summer” sung by Lucie Westen was one of the most beautiful in the entire opera. The part of Nancy was played by Kathryn Browne a contralto from the Cincinnati Opera Company. Edwin Kemp sang the role of Lionel and Count Kai de Verm on d who has appeared in European Opera Companies played Plunket, the young farmer. Norman Simons portrayed a double role, the part of Sir Tristan Mickleford and the part of the sheriff of Richmond. Minor roles were taken by students of the Kearney college. Maurine Neustrom The only music major in the graduating class of this year, Maurine Neustrom has confined her interests, while a student at Kearney, almost en- tirely to music. Playing violin and piano equally well, Maurine served as accompanist for men’s ensemble during her first year at college and during the last three years has been a member of the college symphony orchestra. During the last two years she has been accompanist for students, convocation programs, recitals and double quartettes. Her graduate recital as a pupil in violin of Mr. R. C. Rogers was given in January, In addition to her college activities, Maurine has students in piano and violin at Kearney, Broken Bow, Macon and Upland. She was a member of the cast in three operas: Vagabond King” in 1931, Martha” in 1932 and Faust” in 1933. i Pagf Eighty-seven Fourth Row—(i. Turnon, E l.)n(h, K.

High scholarship is essential. The organization is limited to thirty-five active members. Each fall several rush parties are given. This year the parties included a scavenger party, a bridge luncheon at the Country Club and a tea given at the Eva J. Case Hall. Informal and formal initiations were also held during the first quarter of the school year. During the year the sorority gives three dances. This year the first dance was given Saturday, November 18, at the Crystal Ball Room of the Fort Kearney Hotel. The autumn idea was carried out in the decorations. The second dance was held on Saturday, February 10, at the Fort Kearney Hotel. The valentine was the theme for decorations.

Swan Mr. Howard Hill President Vice President Treasurer Secretary House Manager House Mother _________Sponsor First organized on this campus in 1920, the Caledonian Fraternity still remains the oldest and most active social organization for college men. The constitution of the fraternity was materially altered in 1929, tinder the presidency of Sheldon Wingerd, to place a premium upon promotion of the best interests of the college. In consequence, admission to this fraternity is based upon service to the college as well as good fellowship; and though not officially rcognized by the college, the Caledonians are pledged to a cooperative policy. The active membership of the Caledonians consists of from thirty to fifty eligible mem- bers of the student body. For many years the fraternity has continuously maintained a house for the convenience of its members. It sponsors at least one dance each quarter in addition to several stag parties” and dinners. In accordance with its purpose, this fraternity, in promoting scholastic achievement, was represented by $ of the 18 men recognized on the last honor roll. The Caledonians have also accomplished a unique record in representation in other fields, and school organiza- tions. They have been fortunate in a succession of excellent presidents, who, with all co- operation, have at all times kept the group free from difficulties of finance and organization. Fraternity life has frequently been referred to as the greater half of college education,” and it is in an effort to fill the deficiency of a purely academic education that the Cale- donian Fraternity exists.

Fulmer Fred R. Fulmer, director of athletics, this year took up his duties as head basketball coach, with amazing results. This is Fulmer’s eleventh year of service at K. S, T. C. Great basketball teams have marked Fulmer’s stay at Kearney and this season was no exception. A conference team in 1928 and numerous runner-up squads have repaid Fulmer for his efforts. Every athlete who has received coaching under Fulmer has the deepest respect for the enthusiastic veteran coach. P'agf One Hundred Nine Howard Hill Everyone has a cheerie Hi coach,” for Howard Hill, memor of football and track at Kearney. Hill worked under many liandi' caps during the football season but was particularly pleased with the Hne spirit of his men at defeat. Graduated from Hastings College, Hill worked in the Lincoln High School system, then took the head coaching job at York College before accepting tin Kearney position this last year. He is interested to the utmost in his work and expects a strong team next fall. i Howard Baxter Howard Baxter, football and track lerterman, this year was named to coach the nubbins football squad. Bax successfully sent a formidable team into a heavy B” ream schedule. Baxter hails from North Loup. Whether skimming over hurdles, block- ing for a ball carrier, or coaching an enthusiastic group of football men, Baxter will be remembered as a real guy with a host of friends. I Darrel Noyes Darrell Noyes captain of the past season's football squad, is a four year letterman. Noyes is from North Loup and will long be remember- ed as a regular fellow both on and off the grid- iron. Noyes is a true triple-threat man, voted the most valuable player on the '32 squad and cap- tain of the J 3 eleven. Merle Confer Merle Confer, letterman of two seasons will head the list of candidates next fall, as the Ante- lopes take to the gridiron. The captain-elect, while still at Culbertson High school made an enviable record for himself and has continued his outstanding achievements at Kearney.

The Varsity The sudden resignation of Ted James as head football coach at K, S. T. C. found the Antelopes without a mentor as the 1933 season got under way. Coach Howard Hill, his successor, was not named until two weeks after school had opened. To off-set the fact that sixteen lettermen returned to the gridiron, there was the double handicap of a new coach and a new system. Splendid co-operation and hard work played a great part in off setting such a handicap but the Antelopes could not find themselves” throughout rhe season. From the standpoint of wins and losses, Kearney’s season could hardly be called a suc- cessful one hut the hard work, enthusiasm, and willingness to master a new system and form a nucleus for next season that characterized Antelope play, made the season far from unsuccessful. One thing stood out during die playing season—-the Antelopes were never outclassed but for one possible exception. Coach Howard Hill took his hastily formed team to Doane for the first encounter in which the Antelopes outplayed the Tigers. In the opening minutes of play. Captain Noyes plunged over for the first touchdown. Doane retaliated in the third quarter with a touch- down and the game ended in a 6-6 tie. The highly touted Omaha University eleven succeeded in scoring a touchdown to give them a 6-0 victory over Kearney in the first home game on the Antelope card. Kearney flashed a brilliant passing attack in the second quarter to place the ball on the four-yard line where the timer’s gun halted the drive. Tackles Mubbert and Confer were outstanding in the Antelope lineup Wayne successfully dedicated its new stadium as the Wildcats snarled and played over their heads” in the second quarter to ring up two touchdowns which gave them a 12-0 victory. Kearney showed plenty of power in the second half and made a serious scoring threat in the first quarter. Dud” Graham and Jordan were especially strong in their respective departments as the line featured Kearney’s attack. Kearney reached its peak of performance as the Antelopes battled on even terms with Nebraska B” for four quarters on the night of October twentieth. Starting the game with an over abundance of fight and pep. Kearney advanced the ball twice within the Ne- braska five-yard line. Line drives by Noyes, TolJcfscn, and Hejkal once placed the ball on the five-yard line as the timer’s gun again interfered. Late in the fourth quarter, Tollefsen reeled off a long 35 yard gain and Noyes intercepted a desperate Cornhuskcr pass to place the ball on the four-yard line. With ten seconds remaining in the game, Campbell’s pass to Dode’ Graham in the end zone, fell short by scant inches. Page One Hundred Thirty The Peru jinx that has scowled upon Kearney football teams since shortly after the war” was working overtime just five days after the Nebraska B” game. A mistaken signal, and a fumble early in the game cost the Antelopes a touchdown. Another fumble late in the third quarter again netted Peru a touchdown. Kearney was hardly playing the brand of ball that fans had witnessed the game before, and the game ended 13-0, Peru. The Hastings Broncos stepped out of their conference to resume an old rivalry with Kearney Teachers on the night of November third. The game was chock full of thrills, appearing in the form of passes, long runs and daring line smashes. Hubbert and Confer, Kearney’s regular tackles, were missing from the lineup that evening, which weakened the Antelope line. The two lines battled back and forth all evening and in the fourth quarter, Hastings clicked once to slide a small halfback through for the lone touchdown of the evening and defeat the Antelopes 7-0. The following Friday evening, Kearney entertained the Championship Chadron Eagles. For three quarters, Kearney held the powerful Chadron attack to a minimum hut lack of replacements told on the Antelopes in the final period with dismaying results. The Eagles twice crossed the Kearney goal line, after Campbell had stepped hack and sent a drop kick through the goal posts to tie the score at three all. Barney” Fuller, towering above his teammates, played brilliant defensive hall on this evening and constantly menaced the Eagle offense. The final score read, 17-3. A badly crippled squad made the trip to Hays for the final encounter of the season. Kearney was for the first time, confronted by a superior team. Hays had an abundance of reserve material and scored a total of forty-one points to Kearney’s none. The Antelopes never let down and with a majority of the men playing their last collegiate football, Kearney fought as true Antelopes should. Dode” Graham was seriously injured and left at a Hays hospital. Seven varsity veterans will be missing when the Antelopes again don the heavy football togs next fall. Four of them are former Kearney High school stars and have played to- gether from junior high to college. Paul Jordan, Kearney, four year letterman will long be remembered as the greatest pivot man in Antelope history. He was always quick to size up a new play and was a pillar of strength on defense, Bill” Patton, Dry Valley, was formerly used in the backfield but for two years played regular at his guard position. Bill” was the possessor of an abundance of fight and a leader in the line. Myron Hubbert, Kearney, is also a four year letterman and a great tackle. Hub” was fast, full of spirit and a constant menace to opponent’s backfield. Ivan Davis, wfas called from the backfield to hold down a tackle position. Davis hails from Beaver City. In the Hastings game, he received a severe injury which kept him from active participation for the remainder of the season. Gaylord Tollefsen, Kearney, was one of the shiftiest backfield men ever to don the Blue and Gold garb. If long runs were to be made, Tolly” was always the lx y to make them. This was his fourth year at Kearney. Dode” Graham, Kearney, has for four years been a perennial all-conference selection. In his senior year, Dode” was called upon to fill the shoes of a field general and he capably directed the Antelopes for the remainder of the season. Darrel Noyes, North Loup, will long be remembered as a true gentleman and regular fellow. Noyes this year captained the Antelopes and proved himself a true leader. He wras an effective triple-threat man and always could be depended upon for another yard.” Lettermen: Norman Billeter Warren Campbell Merle Confer Byron Fuller Dode” Graham Dud” Graham Myron Hubbert Otto Hejkal Paul Jordan K.

Baxter found the freshman crop, an enthusiastic lot, and from the remaining understudies from the varsity squad, shaped a team that was to uphold football tradition at K. S T. C, In the first encounter of the season, Bax” found his boys lacking in experience as a unit and submitted to Hebron College’s attack with the result that the Antelope second team returned to Kearney with a 12-0 loss. Later in the season, the nubbins” satisfied themselves with an 8-6 victory over Nebraska Central College. A third quarter scoring spree in the form of a touchdown and a safety gave the Antelopes their first win of the season. Billeter, Anderson, and N. Beck in the line and Ruff in the back field were outstanding for Kearney, Time after time, Kearney threatened the Hastings nubbins” squad one Saturday, with no material advantage shown in the scoring column. The Broncos stood off every dangerous Antelope attack and luckily escaped with a nothing to nothing tie. Churchill and Sagesser this time looked best in the line whereas Kyne gained the most ground in the backfield. A week later, Kearney avenged the Hastings defeat, when the Antelopes ran rough shod over the Broncos on the local field in the last game of the season. Little Charles Ruff could not be held down and repeatedly ran for long gains.

Page One Hundred Fifteen Frank Dusek Frank Dusek, veteran eager and track man, is from Pleasanton. This year Duke” returned to the basketball team for his fourth year of competition. He became to be known as a human flash and worked nicely with Dode” Graham as co-captain, to lead this year’s successful cage squad. “Dode” Graham Dode” Graham, co-captain of this year’s cage squad, is from Kearney. Graham climaxed his four years of college competition in both football and basketball, this season with numer- ous all-conference honors in both sports. Dode could always be depended upon for the greater share of the teams baskets and was an outstand- ing man on the court. Page One Hundred Sixteen Basketball Faced with the problem of moulding a basketball team around a single regular from the preceding year. Coach Fred Fulmer was forced to get the first move on old man fate” and shoot his green team into the thick of com petition. Dode” Graham, one of the conference's leading scorers for three years, was still nursing three pet” ribs and an injured shoulder. Fulmer feared that the great forward could not join the squad until the middle of the season but Dode” was on hand for the first regular season game. Rex Frank, substitute forward of the 1933 season, was among the first to check out a suit and earn a regular berth. Warren Campbell, Dud” Graham, and Darrel Noyes joined the squad soon after football had spent itself. The scene brightened considerably with the return of the versatile Frank Dusek, great Antelope star of 1928, 1929, and 1930. Lee Krell, Dick” Edwards, Milford Edwards, Norman Beck, Melvin Church, and Joe Rogers completed the roster for the 1934 season. Coach Fulmer's regular five averaged a little over five foot eight inches high, and formed the smallest squad in the state college conferences. Never has a team representing the Blue and Gold fought harder for its victories. Never was there developed a more loyal team, a team which accepted any odds and asked for no favors. Even in the few games which they lost, during the regular season, they were playing the game until the final whistle. Invincible determination, combined with super- human fight was the keynote of the successful 1934 basketball team. Without this inspira- tion they could have hardly been expected to win a single game. Fulmer gave his basketball squad a suicide routine consisting of long workouts supple- mented with actual competition against prominent college and semi-professional teams in Colorado, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Skeptical basketball fans frowned upon the first two or three local performances and came the usual saddening comment. The Antelope mentor knew what he was doing—the critics did not. After completing the strenuous pre-season schedule, the Antelopes surprised everyone with an impressive 52-14 victory over Nebraska Central as the regular season started. Fulmer substituted freely throughout the game. Fans were thrilled to see again an ultra-fast breaking team that never let down during the entire season. Dode” Graham was at his regular trick of goal shoot- ing and scored enough points alone to defeat Nebraska Central, Dusek and Rogers at guards, allowed only three field goals during the entire game. On January 10, Wesleyan came to Kearney, a favorite, after their victory over Hastings the night before, but journeyed back home with the short end of a 38-27 count. After the first minute of play, Kearney was never headed and maintained a substantial lead through- out the game. Dud” Graham, playing at guard, played a fierce defensive game and re- ceived a tremendous hand as he left the game on fouls late in the second half. Fulmer rushed his boys into cars, early the morning of January the twelfth, and headed toward the general direction of Wayne, where the Antelopes succeeded in conquering their conference foe to a 33-32 melody. The Antelopes flashed hither and yon over the court to gain a commanding lead until the last four minutes of play. At that time, Rogers and Dud” Graham left the game on fouls. The Wildcats started shooting from all angles and positions and closed the margin until only one point stood between them and Kearney. The Antelopes went to the showers a happy but tired team. On the following evening, Kearney stopped off at Dana, to find unexpected opposition, Fulmer chose to strengthen his reserves and sacrificed the game. Approximately thirty-five minutes of game time passed before he replaced the reserves with the veteran five. Dana had run up too great a lead for the Antelopes to overcome and the game ended, 40-13, However, revenge was sweet and decisive, later. The following week, Kearney sent the McCook Junior College Warriors west with only twenty-eight points while the Antelopes bombarded the basket for a total of sixty-eight. Again the reserves got a taste of varsity basketball. Dode” Graham scored seventeen points and Campbell and Dusek played good games at guard for the short time the regular five remained intact, Kearney strengthened its lead in the conference on Monday and Tuesday night, January 22 and 23, as the Antelopes avenged the football defeat by handing Chadron two defeats in as many nights. In the first game, both teams played conservative defensive ball to keep Pigt One Hundred Seventeen baskets at a minimum during the first half. Kearney out-scrapped the Eagles in the final period and moved ahead in the closing moments by the score 31-25. Joe Rogers and Dodc” Graham again won scoring honors with nine points each. Tuesday night, after Ghadron had maintained the lead for the first fifteen minutes of play, Kearney shot into the lead at the half and played the Eagles off their feet” during the final period. Coach Fulmer called out his reserves to finish the game but again Frank Dusek gathered fourteen points and the Graham brother combination scored twenty-two. The final score was Kearney 54, Chadron 30. January 26 found Kearney in Lincoln suffering a decidedly off night” yet strong enough to win over Wesleyan by the score, 22-16. The game was ragged from beginning to end and only the strong Kearney defense gained any favor. The Antelope guards allowed Wesleyan only one free toss and a field goal during the last twenty minutes of play. This evening, Rex Frank led the Kearney scorers with eight tallies. The following day found Kearney pitted against Nebraska f'B.” Coach Fulmer again elected to strengthen his reserve power for the Omaha and Peru games scarcely a week away. Krell and the Edwards brothers played good ball throughout the game. Fulmer never inserted his regular five until the last five minutes of play. Nebraska B” had the best of a 32-27 decision. Fulmer had all the plans laid to avenge the Nebraska B” squad the following week as the Cornhuskers came to Kearney. Nebraska B” didn’t show up. Only Shennum’s band entertained the fans on this evening and Fulmer’s men were unglorified, as a forfeit was made in Kearney’s favor. Kearney found the strongest opposition of the season just a week hence from the Lincoln trip. Omaha University, conference champions, were too powerful for the weak- ened Antelope five and defeated Kearney in the last 10 minutes, 51-36. The Antelopes were handicapped by ineligibilities and injuries, which figured largely in their first conference defeat of the season. Dode” Graham was severely hurt in the first half of the game and unable to continue. Peru handed Kearney its second conference defeat by the score 47-33, on February 9. Kearney forged ahead at the half to lead 22-19 and was still ahead with six minutes to go. Frank Dusek played his usual fast game to score twelve points for the Antelopes. Dud” Graham’s removal from the game on account of fouls crippled the Antelope defense. On February 26, Wayne reversed the decision on Kearney in winning by a 48-40 count. The Wildcats presented the largest team to appear on the Antelope court during the season and made Fulmer’s small squad seem even smaller. Kearney rallied late in the game but failed by eight points to even the count with the call Wildcats, Dode” again carried off scoring honors with fourteen points. In what proved to be one of the fastest games of the season and a thriller from start to finish, Kearney turned back Dana by the score, 63-28. Fulmer again used his reserves with more gratifying results as the score might indicate. Dode” this time got more than his usual number of baskets and sank twenty-one counters. Fighting little ''Dud” Graham and Dusek at guards proved themselves proficient as offensive and defensive men. Kearney 38, Omaha 36. That game will long be remembered in the annals of Antelope cage history. It is an example of real fight and determination to win. The Antelopes played at top-speed throughout the entire game and after trailing the Cardinals by six points at the half, shot into the lead in the last few seconds of play. Frank Dusek loosed two wonder- ful shots in the closing seconds that handed Omaha its only conference loss of the season. Campbell was high scorer for the game with twelve points. Dode,” “Dud,” and Rex Frank all played probably their most brilliant games of their college career. No substitu- tions for Kearney’s five regulars were made. Dade” Graham and Frank Dusek bore all the resemblances of true Antelopes in the final game against Peru, in which the Bobcats edged out of a 37-36 decision. The two veterans, each playing their last collegiate basketball, were everything a coach might ask for —accurate shooters, keen passers, and heady players. After the score had been tied at seventeen all at the half, Dode” started sinking to score a total of fifteen points. Rex Frank was playing his usual dogged defense while Campbell performed at his regular pivot position and scrappy little Dud” and Dusek were human whizzes” at guards. A last minute basket gave Peru its one-point margin and placed Kearney in third place in the conference cage championships. Page One Hundred Eighteen “B Squad The second string was unsuccessful in four ,foutside the league” contests, Hastings team, Nebraska Central, McCook juniors, each proved too much for the local ”B” team. Several of the men on the B” squad show promise of filling varsity berths next winter when the Antelopes again take to the popular sport. Twelve men were awarded numerals, according to Coach Howard Hilt. They are: N. Beck, Krell, R. Edwards, Finck, Noves, Hejkal, Garner, Illian, Church, Aten, Johnson, and Jensen. Pace One Hundred Nineteen The college B” squad basketball team, followed in the footsteps of the varsity this season as the seconds” under the guidance of Coach Howard Hill annexed the local round-robin city league title.

Antelope Tracks The 1933 edition of the Antelope track and held team successfully upheld the almost traditional conference championship last year as Kearney outclassed Peru, Wayne, and Omaha at the N. I. A. A. meet held at Lincoln. The championship was the third con- secutive crown in as many years. With a badly torn-up track and unfavorable weather conditions haunting the Antelopes throughout the season, Kearney delivered in practically every pinch and furthered Kearney's reputation on the track and field, April fifteenth found Kearney entered in the Hastings Relays. As the Antelopes admired with the others at the fine performance of the Pittsburgh Teachers, Kearney copped seconds in the two mile and mile relays. George Burger hoisted himself to a sufficient height to give him a third place in the vault. Gene Gilmore tied for third in the high jump and in his favorite event, the javelin, won another third place. A scant one-foot margin in the mile relay gave Hastings College a victory over the Antelopes later in the season. Kearney showed power in the sprints as they swept all three places in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Barney” Fuller was the only double winner of the day with a first in the shot put and a new school record in the discus. Gilmore gave the javelin a vicious toss for 180 feet and a new record. Hastings' points for the greater part came in second and third places. The relay team composed of Patton, Stephenson, H. Gall and W. Gali could not cope with the faster Hastings team and set the final figures at 68 1-5- 62 3-4, Hastings. Taking eight first places and sharing two others, Kearney overwhelmed Hays, Kansas, in a dual meet at the local field on a rainy Saturday. Kearney piled up a total of 85 points and allowed Hays only 46. Again the Kearney sprinters, Lambert, Hejkal, Worley, and Kesler swept both the sprints. Dority and Whipple came through in their respective dis- tance jaunts and Barney” Fuller set a new school record in the shot put. Kearney now turned all attention to the conference meet. Peru threatened the Ante- lope title hopes and both Wayne and Omaha were stronger than ever. Kearney was not to be disappointed, though, for the Antelopes came through with a thrilling four point lead over Peru, the closest contender. The final score read: Kearney 60 1-6, Peru 54 1-3, Omaha 40, Wayne 21 1-2. Peru held a substantial lead through the contest until Dick” Lambert skimmed over the hurdles to shoot Kearney into the lead. Again Kearney relinquished the lead to the Bobcats and this time trailed the runner-up until the final event, the high jump.

Debate This has been a successful year for debate, since it is the first year the A, O. Thomas school has won the Tri-Valley championship and has entered the state league. The team comprised of Oletha Paul and Edith Woodward, with no former experience, debated with and won decisions over teams who had had three and four years experience, The team was coached by Miss Frances Klinginsmith under the supervision of Mr. J. D. Hansen. The A. O. Thomas school engaged in twenty-six inter-school debates. Practice debates were held with Wood River, Ravenna, Gothenburg, and Holdrege. No decisions were made but the Thomas team made a good showing in all. In the Hastings College Invitation Tournament held March 3, the Thomas team won decisions over Hastings, St. Paul, and Kenesaw, with one loss to Grand Island. Wood River. Overton, Elm Creek, and A, O. Thomas entered the Tri-Valley debate conference held here, March 22, The contest by rounds; Thomas defeated Wood River. Elm Creek defeated Overton, Wood River defeated Overton. Elm Creek defeated Thomas. Thomas defeated Wood River. The final debate was held that evening between Elm Creek and A. O, Thomas. The Thomas debaters won a unanimous decision, thus adding another attractive cup to the trophy case. Winning the Tri-Valley conference debate championship entitled the Thomas team to participate in the district tournament held at Ravenna, March 24. The girls argued their way into the final round with Ravenna, where they met defeat. Ocher schools entering the tournament were Gothenburg, Broken Row, Brady and Cozad, It is hoped that next year’s team will go at least one step farther and be eligible to enter the state tournament.

Coach Fred Fulmer therefore had a green team with which to start the season, hut the hoys developed rapidly and feel that the season was a success. Four games were played with the following results: The Tommies defeated Kenesaw 7 to 0. Gibbon defeated the Tommies 7 to 0. The Tommies and Shelton tied 0 to 0. Overton defeated the Tommies 26 to 3. Captain Earl Anstine played the outstanding role for the Thomas team in every game. Back kon —DurflitiKcr, Guard. Matiagtr; Auvtini . D. (End); Munn. F, (Guard): Hodges. H. I Guard): Speck H.

One Hundred- twenty-four Basketball Basketball is the outstanding sport at A. O. Thomas High School. The season of 1953-34 was unusually successful from the standpoint of interest in the team on the part of local students and outsiders� in number of games won, and in that a large squad reported for practice. The following boys received letters: Captain Marvin Parker� Robert Hatton, Ray Swayne, Earl Anscine, Dupin Anstine, Tommy Wilson, Don Sturcevant, Eugene Winslow, and Otis Haley. The outstanding event of the season was a trip to eastern Nebraska where the team played York High and Peru Prep. Another such trip is planned for next year. As a result of a successful season of competition the Tommies emerged Tri-Valley Conference cham- pions. The team also was runner-up in the B Sectional Tournament. Don Sturtevant and Marvin Parker were given positions on the all-conference first team. Tommy Wilson was given a forward position on the second team and Ray Swayne received honorable mention as guard. The boys unanimously agree that the success of the basketball season was due in a large part to the work of Coach Howard Hill. 55 55 55 Track The spring track squad of 1933 completed the most successful season in track that Thomas High has had for several years. Bernard Wink set a new conference record in the half mile at 2:17. Carl Speck won the mile run in the conference meet at 5:14, Delbert Croston placed third in the broad jump in this meet. These same boys were taken to the state meet at Lincoln,, as well as the Seven-Valleys meets at Callaway. With the addition of some good track possibilities in Don Sturtevant and Tommy Wilson, we hope to have a better track season in 1934 than wc had in 1933.

Page Onf Hundred Twenty-eight THE ANTELOPE Publish I'd Every Friday ibv ihr Nebraska State Teachers College at Kearney College Paper Completes 24th Year Publication Has Provided a Varied Story of School Progress During the twenty-four years in which the Antelope has served as the weekly student publication for Teachers college, a great many changes have been recorded in its files. The first issue, appearing December 2, 1910, was half the size of the present publication and presented school news more as a news-letter rather than as a newspaper. In the following years, it has grown in size and importance as a medium for school publicity and as a record of college ac- tivities. Its files, furnishing a week by week account of stu- dent, classroom, and organization interests, have provided a varied story of school progress. For some fifteen years, the publication of the Antelope has been financed through the student contingent fund and through advertising secured from Kearney merchants. Throughout the quarter century of publication, the paper has been a product of the creative writing and journal- istic effort of students of Teachers college. The editor and business manager, selected by the Antelope board for each winter and summer term, select the staff from the journalism classes and from those students who show particular ability in the field of journalistic writing. In 1932, the Antelope, with Ruth Burch as editor and Charles Blazek as business manager, became a member of the Columbia Scholastic Press association. Entered in the news- paper division for schools of education, the Antelope placed third in its first year of competition in the yearly contest sponsored by Columbia university. The next year, the publi- cation, beaded by Charles Gard, editor, and Leroy Nyquist, business manager, was awarded second place. This year, the publication placed third. A faculty committee composed of Mr, C. T. Ryan, chair- man; Miss Alice Robinson, and Mr. L. E, Mantor, are serv- ing as the Antelope control board. Mr. J. C. Weaver, as instructor in journalism, is advisor of the publication. Mem- bers of the present staff, headed by Genevieve Keenan as editor and Charles Gard as business manager, are: Don Smith, news editor; Lehan Tanks, feature editor; Royal Henline, sports editor; Marte Hald, Doris Wright, Annalies Eckhatt, Hazel Mae Cole, Bryce Newman and Woodrow' Wirsig as special reporters and feature writers.
