Student Zocecntiaeb It’s a new year and cooperation is the key word to success. Cooperation from all means less work for one, and another record year for a great school growing greater ' said Bus” Carroll, presi- dent of the Student Council. This statement was a part of the official greeting to the new students by the Student Council at the start of the year. Whether the students know it or not, the coun- cil has always tried to cooperate with them. For it, the Council, represents the students. The Council has been free from chastising students this year. The reason: students were not required to go to convocation. In the past. it has been the duty of the student council to see that everyone goes to convocation or gives an excuse for absence. The Council has not been entirely divorced from convocation, however; for it put numerous pleas in The Antelope trying to get students to go to convocations, and giving them certain rules about time of attendance. Bus Carroll, representing the Student Council and the stu- dents, attended the conference of the National Student Federation of America, which was held at Purdue University this year. The Federation is a youth organization to encourage student govern- ment, Bus was the only delegate from Nebraska. He said that the adoption of a declaration of American principles was the mosc important thing accomplished by the conference. On January 27, the Student Council presided over a mass con- vocation in which the students protested against the proposed budget cut. Bus Carroll, speaking for the Student Council, asked the students to write home to their parents explaining the situation, and to write to their representatives expressing their complaints. The convocation was a success in one sense; for one representative wrote President Cushing explaining that he had received hundreds of letters and cards from Kearney and its wide vicinity.” 26

Four Years of Progress Someone had a brilliant idea. That person wrote a play for the seniors. It was a play about progress; not the usually heavy boring play about the subject, but a comedy of four acts which contained everything from satire to music. That play was given in convo- cation. In the first act, the seniors reenacted freshman reg- istration. Ray Roth ran about with a mike interview- ing the poor freshmen, and occasionally giving the mike over to Duane Cornelius so that he might an- nounce that Education 415 at eight o’clock had dosed. Reuben Sitzman, in knee pants, was one of the regis- tering freshmen. One of the girls that Roth inter- viewed announced her phone number, which is said to be typical of freshmen. The second and third acts were probably pretty badly written, for no one seems to remember anything about them. That is the way with sophomore and junior years. No one remembers them. In the fourth act, a scene was enacted from the senior sneak day. It took place in a hotel room in Den- ver, Colorado. The seniors were amusing each other by giving readings, speeches, and musical selections. Lorrayne Lanka gave a reading about a person who didn’t want to dance with a certain man, but who said that she’d be just too glad to. Incidentally, the read- ing was by Dorothy Parker, Kathryn Smith played a French horn solo. Paul Priebe told jokes. It was easy to see that the seniors had made a great deal of progress in four years. They looked a little older in the fourth act than in the first; they were more serious. Many of them looked as tired as Mar- garet Cushing does in the picture at the right. 25
