They'll Soon Be Teaching How does a future teacher apply for a po- sition? This question was answered by means of a demonstration at the February meeting with Mr. A. E. Burke acting as the superintendent, and Eleanor Sargent as the applicant. At another meeting, Mr. Harold Dail, instructor in the language department, told of the schools in Germany. These were two of the many interesting programs plan- ned by Dale Best of Arnold, vice-president and program chairman. Dorothy Jepsen of North Platte is president; Norma Robertson, secretary; Elizabeth Whitnack, treasurer; and Frances Bennett is reporter. The outstand- ing social event of the year is the dinner with the city and college N. E. A. Units. Miss Lula E. Wirt and Mr. Otto Olsen are sponsors. The George E. Martin chapter of the F. T. A., junior unit of the N. E. A., was organized in January, 1939, and holds the first college chapter charter in Nebraska. Membership is limited to juniors and seniors who have scholarship average of 2.5 or above. Red and Black are the national colors. Of inter- est is the fact that this chapter was repre- sented at the N. E. A. convention at San Francisco last summer by a large poster which listed the aims, charter members, and the sponsors of the club. This year the organization decided to maintain a library for its members, thus creating a new office—that of librarian. In- grid Larson now holds that position. Page 22

A darkened room, candles glowing, a faint sound of footsteps, hushed voices giving vows—and then the handshaking. Every student has dreams of taking part in such a service which makes him a full pledged member of some organization. It is in our organizations that we really come to know one another, for it is there that we pursue like interests. Students and faculty unite to aid progress and advance efforts in the work. A glance into the inner workings of such ac- tivities reveals a spirit of cooperation, rules based on representative govern- ment, and live groups functioning efficiently and accurately. . . Antelope editor, Jean Sullivan, and many others seem to be enjoying one ol our well-planned convocation programs . . Page 21

In contrast to many other organizations, the Catholic Club has its own room—a large, comfortable one on the third floor of the ad- ministration building—where students may gather and study amid quiet, away from the noise and clamor of passing classes. It meets twice each month. One meeting is devoted to the study of religion; the other to a social time. It has for its purpose, the promotion of fellowship and understanding among the students, and also the promotion of a better understanding of religion. Fa- ther Francis J. Tschida is the sponsor of the group, and Mr. Cerny is the faculty sponsor. This year, the group cooperated with the Y.M. and Y.W. for the Back to Religion Week ' which was held during the first part of March. Local ministers spoke to the groups during the week, and many of them held conferences with the students. The annual Christmas party was held this year in the Club room, at which time the members exchanged gifts. This meeting was the outstanding social event of the year. This years' officers are: James Manning, a senior from Merna, Nebraska, president; Helen Brosius, vice-president; Margaret Vosberg, secretary-treasurer; and Virginia Evers, reporter.
