Aspasians For those girls who are literary minded” Aspasians provides an interesting and enter- taining activity. It is the purpose of this literary club to give its members an opportunity to become more efficient in public speaking and to enable them to conduct meetings according to parliamentary procedure, which is an important phase of their study. It is their aim to develop also in members those qualities which make for better sponsors and leaders of various girls’ clubs. Following the business meeting, programs are furnished by members of the organization or by guest speakers and musicians, A Weakness For Nurses,” a one-act comedy presented by a few members of the club provided enjoyable entercainmnt for one of the meetings this year. Initiation of new members in the fall, a Christinas party which is usually held at the home of the sponsor, and a May party make up the social calendar of the club. The large membership in Aspasians is an evidence of the enthusiasm and interest of its members. Miss Ludden, sponsor of the organization deserves much of the credit for its accomplishments. She is always willing to give generously of her time and efforts for the betterment of Aspasians, Ramona Major----------------- First Quarter President Eunice Hanthorn Second Quarter President Lucille Mochel —...

Wright, Theatre Arts League Whatever might be lacking in quantity in the college dramatic organization (there are about twelve active members) is more than made up for in the qualiry of the members. You see, in order to become a member of T. A. L„ you must have forty merits; these honor points arc given to those participating in, writing, or producing plays. Naturally only those who are truly interested in dramatics are willing to juggle scenery, slap on make-up, and do the thousand and one other things to make a play a success. Consequently those few willing ones constitute the promoters of dramatics in our college. Last October (somewhere near Hallowe'en) a very secret, very scarey, very solemn initiation took place in the loft of a local barn. Edith Albrecht, Erselia Barton, Ortho Ebright, Royal Henline, Wilfred Tressider, and Woodrow Wirsig were the neophytes who, upon that occasion, became Thespians. Theater Arts has furnished the ushers for the lyceum numbers sponsored! by the school; it has sponsored play writing contests; it has held open meetings; it has also held tryouts and furnished material for the one act play production class. A pot luck dinner was held at Mrs, Barton’s home in March; it was then that we learned that '’Budge” Ebright could scallop potatoes like nobody else, and that George Richardson had a heretofore un- known ability for whipping cream. Theater Arts sponsored the production of Comedy of Errors” given several times this year. Below, is a picture of one of the sets used in that play. COMEDY OF ERRORS. Pag Thi

DON SMITH Editor The Antelope ANTELOPE COMPLETES TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF COLLEGE SERVICE T I Student Publication Has Grown With College During Past- Years. ROYAL HENUNIH Business Mnn.iger Completing a quarter of a century of service to the college. The Antelope, weekly student publication, has once again endeavored to fulfill its function of presenting an accurate reflection each week of the activity and growth of its college. As the official organ of the students, alumni, and faculty of Kearney the school paper has grown with the college during its twenty-five years of existence. In 1910 the Antelope was changed from an eleven by sixteen sheet to a ten galley edition; in 1920 it was placed under the support of the contingent fee and the necessity for a large advertising volume which crowded out news disappeared; and in 1932, under the editorship of Ruth Burch, it became a member of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. During the last year, the staff has made every effort to maintain and advance the excellent standards of this publication. To this end, effort has been made to express accurate student viewpoint on problems of both local and national, educational and social importance. Through pursuance of these objectives the staff hopes the paper may become even more of a student publication and aid in the building of a solidarity and unity in student thought and activity on this campus. Two special Antelopes were published during the first two quarters this year, one a homecoming edition, and one a combined alumni and memorial edition of March 1, were sent to Kearney alumni. Ordinarily The Antelope reaches some one hundred seventy-five high schools and subscribers weekly in addition to its college circulation. The staff: managing editor, George Henigan; news editor, Maxine Rosscn; feature editor, Woodrow Wirsig; feature writers, Stanley Johnson, Dale Donaly and Margaret Murray; sports writers, Richard Hartford, Joe Gallagher, Elving Kleist and Richard Wade; columnist, Harold Watkins; circulation, Ernest Lockwood.
