The school is a friendly one. An atmosphere of comradeship prevails. The fears of the timid freshman, who has forebod- ings of a life lonely and out of place in a bustling educational universe with inner sanctum doors barred, are dispelled the first day. Rather, he inds himself a part of it all. Aloofness, snobbishness, class distinctions and notions of superiority are nonexistant. From the first cheerful salutation to the time that the mortar board and gown are donned, students and proles- sors enioy the most congenial of social relations. Friendships formed—in class, at work, through leisure hour occupation— are undying. It is the College's intangible, but omnipresent, secret of happiness and harmonious association- its friendli- ness. w TWO O'CLOCK CLASS—Ralph Shinn. Bill Anderson, Jack Ansline. and Dean Marshall dash ©in of Men’ Hall with a single purpose— heat that hell, (Hill said afterwards that he was hur- rying to meet Nancy in the library.) GOD BLESS AMERICA . . —No dorm meeting at Men’s Hill is complete with oil t several songs. Notice the way LydiaH, Ingram and Bless- ing are putting their hearts into their singing. Living in a dorm is hall of one's college edu- cation, remarked a senior upon being graduated. After four years, one realizes that in addition to scholastic attainments one must learn to adjust him- self to society. Where personalities vary, problems arise. These problems are met and solved by the students themselves. Within the walls of a dorm, students understand one another. They learn to live as a unit. Divergent personalities are molded into a family-like relationship. Roommates soon become brothers or sisters; preceptresses, mothers. The halls echo a neighborly spirit. LOR MEN ONLY— Te Wtidiun re- mark� , ”1 don't sc why ii takes girls so long tu get ready, because they don’t have to shave. as he gels ready to step out.” THE FELLOWS ENTERTAIN—Don Mai me acts as host as he dips punch for Clarence Lierly, Esther Nitzcl, Dean Mar- shall, Nadine Nyffeler, and Patty Cun- ningham at the formal Christinas party held by the follows at Men's Hall.

MORE CLOTHES.

FOP TELLS ONE—The Popper mean busi- ness during scrimmage in football practice, bui when it is all over he enjoys a bit of ’'ribbing.” Here, Nor- ris Anderson, Mike Shada, Tom Journey, Harvey Ludcltv, ”C” Brtigh, and Paul Blessing seem to be enjoying one of PepV yarns outside the gym. CONTACT!—Civil Aeronautic� instructor, Larry Litwtller swings the prop as George laser, assistant, turns on the ignition in preparing to take the Blue and Gold photographer over the campus for oil aerial photograph. Campus life is teeming with activity. Charged with sparks of enthusiasm and in- terest, Kearneyites believe that a diversity of activities is requisite for well-balanced and broad-minded teachers. To this end, the talented and untalented consume a portion of each day. Aviators don wings, major- ettes twirl batons, debaters present cases. The actor interprets on the stage, the radio enthusiast announces over the air, the mu- sician expresses thought in music. Dances and athletic games provide entertainment. ’’PASS THE VITTLHS. GRANDPA!”—Joe Whitney, « Paul Sycamore, show anxiety of being left with a clean plate as he yells across the table to Grandpa Vanderhof, as played by Vaughn Larson, in the all college play, You Can’t Take It With You.” NOT CRACK THE WHIP—An endless tine of students forms the snake dance” in displaying N.S.T.C.’s school spirit as they stampede down Central Avenue the night before the homecoming football game.

Elmer McKinney, Pete Mitchell. Rex Marhenke, and Dick Thorn- ton are jitterb urging” to a fast number. STEPPING HIGH—Majorettes Marjorie Peckman and Jerry” Slocum strut in fine style as they lead the band across the gridiron between the halves of a football game. y, as at� - as ‘d by With 'pjtfc Each morning bright and early ... In Dagwood fashion, students dash across the campus, leap up stairways, and make a final plunge for their chairs in an attempt to beat the eight o'clock bell. Professors lecture. Students take notes. Typewriters click. Sewing ma- chines hum. Saws buzz. Some students dis- sect animals. Others conjugate verbs. Still others do student teaching. When not in labs or classes, students study in the library or re- lax in the lounges. College days are long and strenuous, but every hour brings new subjects, interesting facts, and pleasurable moments.

Wayne, chat over affairs of their schools. feeltinA the Scest i Seldom has Mr. Average Overworked Student paused to consider that without an un- ceasing impetus our college could not survive in the face of criticisms, depressions, and ever- changing ideas. There is a tendency to take for granted that the school is here and that it will continue to function. This assumption is partly justifiable, but few realize the amount of effort that is put forth daily to keep our col- lege progressive. How then, can anyone right- ly assume that in the future, young citizens of this territory will have the privileges of educa- tion which we enjoy? Any good Nebraska history book will con- tain a short article stating that in 1869 a Board of Education of State Normal Schools was es- tablished, If Ihese original board members were able to see today what has grown from their initial efforts, they would find that the State Normal Board is all that remains intact of the original plan. The first task of the board was to establish normal schools; then, teachers colleges about a decade later. Now their problem is to main- tain and improve what has been set up. Their duties are not unlike those of the average high school board of education, except that they must consider the needs of four systems instead of one, and their administration is per- haps more indirect. A meeting is held every six to eight weeks, and the president of each of the four Teachers Colleges presents a report and makes suggestions pertaining to his school. It would be impossible, of course, for the board members to handle all of the details of each college, and they make no attempt to do this. They are concerned only with major policies, such as selecting heads of institutions, confirming the selection of faculty members, approving the college budgets, and appearing before legislative committees concerning re- quests for, and expenditures of, appropriations, and other legislation. The fact that the members receive no remuneration, except traveling expenses, indi- cates that foremost in their minds are the schools which they serve. Every two years the governor appoints, with the legislature's ap- proval, two new members, who serve a term of six years and cannot be discharged for po- litical reasons. This method of selection pre- vents a sweeping change in politics from hav- ing an effect which might be detrimental to the management of our schools. So, when Mr, Average Student thinks a change should be made, he should remember that a Board of Education of State Normal Schools must consider the welfare of four schools, and nearly three thousand other stu- dents as well as himself, before a change is made. Page 12 Jd PofLukz L id Jle 9d QcispjcMe There is one man on the campus whom everyone knows and loves. He is not a stu deni, a prolessor, or the college Casanova; he is none other than our own president, Herbert L Cushing. A native of Ord, Nebraska, President Cush- ing took a normal training course in high school and taughi two years in the rural schools of Valley County. He was employed as a cashier in a hardware and implement store for THE AWAITED MOMENT—After four y« nt a senior receives his diploma and congratulation� from President Cushing. BOYS. WERE PROUD OF YOU!1 —Say President Cushing at the minimi football banquet, while Pop Klein plan the strategy for his speech which it to follow. HERBERT L. CUSHING fifteen months, and with the money saved, he started attending the Grand Island College. For spending money, he worked at Wolbach's shoe store, and led horses and mules into a sales- barn on Saturdays. His height cinched him the position oi center on the basketball team on which he lettered and became captain. He debated in college, served as business manager and editor of the college paper, and was president of the Y.M.C.A, and literary society. He did his graduate work for his Master's degree at the University of Chicago and at the University of Nebraska. He was awarded the Doctor of Edu- cation degree by the Nebraska Wesleyan University. Digging into his personal life, one discovers that he used to play the slide trombone and alto horn , , . when a small boy his ambition was to become a cowboy and to be able to play cm accordion . . . later in life he desired to be a lawyer . . . planting trees and playing golf are his hobbies . . . reads O. Henry for relaxation; Browning, for a more serious tone , , . avoids reading detective and murder stories . . . Life and Reader’s Digest are his favorite periodicals ... is still par- tial to The Gumps,' The Bungle Family,” and Little Orphan Annie . . . seldom goes to movies . . . buckwheat cakes and maple syrup, jam and rolls hit the spot in foods . , , his greatest thrill was when he became a father. As a man, President Cushing combines the qualities of conservatism, rational judgment, quiet, impressive dignity, ef- ficient management, and educational tact to make him re- spected and admired by all who know him.

Above all, the professor was stern, cold, and unapproachable. How different we found it when we entered college! Our previous conceptions of college instructors were erroneous. Instead, we found scholars. Some had written books. Some were authorities in their fields. Others had wide experience which they freely imparted. Most of all, the faculty was friendly. Outside of class, they were just like us. After-class conversations, chats in their offices or in the halls, in- formal talks at organization meetings -they were enjoyable. This institution has often been spoken of as the friendly college. This can be greatly attributed to its friendly faculty. Conrad!

She was a courageous, gallant spirit crusading in the great struggle to permit the triumph of knowledge over ignorance, giving her all in the hope that young men and young women might be qualified to take to the class- rooms of the schools of America a philosophy of education, a philosophy of life . . . which coupled with established teaching technics might result in the building and the preserva- tion of an intelligent and enlightened civiliza- tion. She loved her work. She loved her stu- dents and her faculty associates. She loved the great causes for which she struggled. She loved her opportunity to serve the youth of America. And today though lips are closed and the tongue is silenced, the high ideals which were hers, the inherent good which characterized her every action is reflected in the thought and deeds of college presidents, superintendents of city schools, and literally thousands of class- room teachers who through the years were privileged to come under the spell of her in- spiring leadership. The physics texts tell us that no energy is ever lost. Thus it is that those of us priv- ileged to know her will believe . . . that the Great Teacher has in his wisdom given to her Lula E. Wirt an assignment wholly in keeping with her un- ending faith and the idealism which she cher- ished and her indominable will to serve man- kind well. Tribute to Lula E. Wirt By President Herbert L.

Stu- dents attending college classes are constantly on the lookout for facts, but somehow, unconsciously, while professors lecture, they grasp a philosophy of life—cm education which is pre- cious and highly prized in a democracy. College students become enlightened. They help make America the shrine of liberty and freedom that it is today. ,ab Class Uses Jndug Elephant, Three Toe Horse ftosh ft With an unexcavated ele- phant and a thn i‘ toed horse or laboratory material.

Mils H, Sto Page 22 lAJe' ie 9+t the A u+uf, A oui Doris F. Case Hall Kearney, Nebraska Dearest Doris, Things certainly have changed since De- cember 23, when we mobilized at Kearney- Previously Company D contained only forty- five men, but we increased it to a total of sev- enty-eight, a small number compared to a di- vision, which has twenty-five thousand men. When we arrived in camp we saw giant caterpillar tractors working day and night, making foundations for the buildings. We were assigned a new mess hall and twenty-seven squad tents with wooden lloors and board sides, covered by a tent hung from a center pole. The tents have gas heaters and electric lights, and are large enough for five men. One of the first things that we learned was the art of housekeeping. e jptdslcin Mitchell inowden Our first thirteen weeks of intensive train- ing consists of bayonet, chemical warfare, hand grenade, and company drill; rifle and pistol practice; convoy practice; motor trans- port and mechanics' schools; tactical schools; schools in map reading, military intelligence, and military discipline and courtesy. We are a motor transport company. We transport fuel, food, and forage for the entire division. On February 1, many of the N.S.T.C. men were promoted to corporals, sergeants, and staff sergeants. Some of them were transferred to other companies where officers were needed. Several of the noncoms have been sent to mo- tor mechanics' schools at Fort Crook, Nebraska and Baltimore, Maryland, and to a tire school at Akron, Ohio. Not all of our time is spent in work, for we have a company softball team, and Captain Mattson encourages everyone to have a good time. We have a theater, gymnasium, and several recreation halls in the camp. TRUCKIN'—Company D. motor transport company, par- ticipares in the homecoming parade preceding the Kearncy-Chn- drem football game. We often think of the old school and talk about it a lot. We were all grieved to hear of the death of Miss Wirt. At times we wish the water would stop flowing under the bridge at N.S.T.C. until we get back so we could start where we left off. We have been told that we may be kept longer than a year, but we will not forget the old school, and we hope that the old school doesn't forget us. Well, I must take my turn at the sentry post.

ClaAteb befUct Activity They are as fine a group of students as we have ever had ' instructors commented of the 397 freshmen who matriculated at college in September. Upperclassmen, nevertheless, officially dubbed them as green when after two very, very long days of orientation and registration, freshies were compelled to wear green caps which signalled them out blocks away. It wasn't long, though, until upperclass- men, freshmen, and faculty rallied in unison when the Student Council announced that it would match dollar for dollar to the amount of two hundred dollars, all money raised by stu- dents and faculty members tor the purpose of furnishing the new men's and women's lounges. Appropriate was the statement made by David Huffstutter, Student Council presi- dent: 'Since winter is cn its way, it might be a little cold sitting on the front steps. Subtle? Yes. But it was an impetus for action as well. Tables were set up in the corridor leading to the auditorium on second floor. Large graphs showing the collection of each of the four classes and faculty were attached to the wall. A large graph, in the form of two ther- mometers which hung the entire length of a pillar, from ceiling to floor, indicated the prog- ress made in comparison to what the Student Council would match. Slogan for the drive was: Watch the thermometers rise! During class intermissions, Butch Whitlock urged students over the public address system to sacrifice a coke and to contribute to the fund. Within two days. Miss Emma Hanthorn, chairman of the drive, announced that the goal had been reached when the thermometers in- dicated that two hundred and six dollars were raised. Freshmen took the lead in class activities when they held their Barnyard Dance in the gymnasium which had been converted into a hay loft with saddles and bales of hay. Square dances called by Morris Wilmot, with old time music accompaniment consisting of an accor- dion, harmonica, and fiddle proved to be fun. Exhausted jitterbugs took up modern swing for relaxation. What's the difference? a by- stander asked. Dancing to nickelodeon music, sophomores staged a successful dime dance in mid-March, while juniors had a record attendance at the all school dance in the dining room of Men's Hall the evening of second semester registration. Under the presidency of Marjorie Hollingsworth, juniors were hosts to seniors at the annual junior- senior banquet on May 2. The theme of the banquet was Pipe Dream. To carry out this theme favors consisted of soap bubble pipes. The banquet room was cleverly decorated with giant soap bubble pipes and large toy balloons representing bubbles. Marjorie Hol- lingsworth was toast mi stress. For the traditional senior sneak day, seniors chose Victoria Springs as their destination when they failed to appear for their classes on Friday, May 16.

Of course, everyone knows about Xi Phi, the highest honorary scholastic and leadership fraternity on the campus, and it is a thrilling moment, indeed, when one gets a notice in his mailbox stating that he is eligible for Xi Phi and to please write a letter listing his various accomplishments and activities.'1 Membership is open to every college stu- dent in the Catholic Club, Y.M.C.A., and Y.W.- C.A. These worthy organizations do much to help bewildered new students by supplying guides and keeping an information desk during registration week. The annual Marshmallow Sing held near Lake Kearney, and sponsored by the Christian organizations, helps to get stu- dents acquainted, and illustrates to them the friendly atmosphere of our college and city. Hungry students and faculty members appreciate the food and home-made candy sales sponsored by the Home Economics Club. Even the odors on third floor help to whet one's appetite; and, as Miss Payne says, You can always tell when the home economics class flunks a lesson. The science clubs, departmental honorary fraternities, musical organizations, Men's and Women's councils, and the Student Council are all a necessary and vital part of college life. Naturally, a student can't belong to all of them, but nearly all departmental clubs are organ- ized to reach the student who otherwise would not find time to take part in something aside from his regular, busy classroom schedule. By this method, the student makes wholesome, well-integrated contacts with others who are interested in, and who are studying, the same subjects, and, he is thus able to broaden his knowledge and experiences by giving a mini- mum amount of time. ”1 HEREBY PLEDGE . . . � •—Xi Phi neophytes Hazel Mun- dorff.

Page 52 Q4td PnxdopJxtisn I couldn't utter a word when it forced the air out of me ' Morris Wilmot commented in describing the peculiar sensation that came over him when he was put into the iron lung which was purchased only this year by the citizens of Kearney and surrounding towns. This was at the meeting of the Pre-Medic Club held at the Kearney Fire Department where a lecture and demonstration of the iron lung were presented. George Ulbrick, Dotty Jean Frink, the Shelmadine twins, and a number of others also experienced the power ot the respirator. Most thrilling to Pre-Medic members was sliding down the fire pole which led to the fire trucks. After several boys slid down the fire- men's exit, a tew of the girls who had gathered the courage gave it a try. The screaming which pierced the lire hall as they sped swiftly down the firemen's pole would have easily drowned the wail of the fire siren. An actual demonstration of the deflation of lungs of two patients at the State Tubercu- losis Hospital brought tenseness upon the faces of the group. Fists tightened and breathing almost stopped when Dr. L. C. Anderson, in demonstrating the pneumothorax treatment for tuberculosis, injected a long needle into the patients' thoracic region to collapse the lung. Dr. L M. Stearns showed two films, one, the removal of a goiter, and the other, a Caesa- rean operation. In March, Dr. C. K. Gibbons showed the Pre-Medic students the operating rooms, surgical equipment, and X-ray films of fractures at the Good Samaritan Hospital. With great interest they watched the heartbeat of Max Nigh, Morris Wilmot, and Darrell Hindman through the fluoroscope. A TTLNTION FOCUSED—Dean Brown, Gforgt Ulbrick, Mrs. Hansen. Roberta Talich.

Literally, that is exactly the purpose of the student Y.M.C.A.—to enlist college men of all creeds in an organization de- signed to further their Christian living and ex- periences. This year the Y opened its new social room on first floor of the administration build- ing, added some new furniture, a radio, and in- stalled room clerks to help make the atmos- phere of the room friendly and inviting. Weekly Y.M.C.A. meetings on Wednesday evenings in room 322 were varied. Early in the year, Mr. Watkins showed his colored slide pictures of Yellowstone Park. At another meet- ing Dr. Mantor discussed the Selective Service Act of 1940 before a large audience of inter- ested Y members. Dr. Parker spoke on the topic of Ambi- tion at the initiation ceremonies early in Oc- tober. Dr. Spooner, Reverend Sessions, and Reynold Settell, a college student who is a minister at Riverdale, spoke at meetings at various times during the year. Our campus was especially privileged this year in having the Regional Bible Interpre- tation Commission located here. Hazel Mun- dorff and George Mitchell served as co-chair- men. During Thanksgiving vacation, Dr. Mary Morse, Hazel Mundorff, George Mitchell, Gor- don Brooks, Harold Mueller, and Gordon Lin- deblad attended the Rocky Mountain Regional meeting at Doane College in Crete. Gordon Brooks served as president of the Y.M.C.A. this year until he left in December to accept a Civil Service position in Washington, D. C. He called cabinet meetings once a week to plan the programs and promote the work of the Y.M.C.A. James Harding was elected in February to preside over the organization for the coming year. The Estes Co-operative group, which is made up of members who plan to attend the Estes Conference had charge of several meet- ings. Don Johnson and Arnold Shambaugh showed pictures that they had taken at last year's conference. The Estes Co-op under the direction of Arnold Shambaugh and Altha Frame also planned the Christmas Festival in December, Through varied devotional programs, intra- mural athletics, and deputation team work, the Y.M.C.A. offers a splendid opportunity to meet and make friends. Each year, new of- ficers accept the challenge to further the pro- motion of good fellowship, fun, and lasting friendships— vital elements in learning to live well. Page 54 S MieA.

Steady voices of upperclassmen echoed above the more wavering sciniillations of the voices of verdant freshmen. Dry leaves rustled as the circle broke and freshmen and upperclassmen alike crowded around the marshmallow boxes. It was the way the Chris- tian organizations welcomed the freshmen last fall, on the eve of the first day they were here. Marshmallow Sing, was the name they coined for it. Old and new Y.W.C.A. members soon as- sumed more formality when 170 of them went hatted and gloved to the candlelight initiation service, which was followed by a banquet. En- tertainment for the banquet was the usual thing: songs, musical program, toasts. But many a girl left saying that it was an unusual banquet and a singular success. Y.W. projects embrace items from book- ends to candy bars. Girls spend hours in the industrial education workrooms, proving that they can saw straight, making articles such as bookends, necklaces, belts, and pins from wood, cork, leather, or metal. All the pound- ing, drawing, and sawing are the result of the crafts division of Y.W.C.A. The candy table on second floor attracts students and faculty members who have a sweet tooth. When Christmas talk started, Y.W.C.A. circles buzzed with activity. First, there was the Nativity, the traditional convocation pro- gram. Next, the Christmas Festival, which, by some quirk of fortune, fell on Friday the thir- teenth. It proved to be a lucky day for Marie Refshauge and George Mitchell, for they were crowned Christmas Queen and King when they stepped through a large blue and silver star at the dance. Before the dance, campus or- ganizations sponsored booths and conces- sions for the carnival in the administration building. Brilliant and talented faculty mem- bers offered entertainment in the form of a Dr. D. Q. program, sponsored by Kupid's Krispy Krunchy Kandy Kompany of Kearney. When it was all over, students put a mental check mark alter Friday, December 13, meaning that it was a highlight of their college fun days. For loafing, for studying, for resting, for hearing the latest, girls go lo the Y.W. room every day. There, where they find easy chairs, study tables, a piano, Venetian blinds, and a wall clock that chimes beautifully, they chat- ter, doze, or concentrate on the phylum for the zoology test next hour. Every Wednesday eve- ning members meet there. It is, naturally, the headquarters for all Y.W.C.A. activities. Mary Runner, junior from Hershey, was president of the organization. Marie Refshauge, sophomore from York, will head the group next year. Page 55 You wouldn’t think that the scholars and leaders of the campus would resort to apple- polishing” would you? But each semester, pledges of Xi Phi buy large red apples which they shine brightly and present to instructors. Hisses are often heard from classmates. But Xi Phi pledges aren't attempting to make a favorable impression with instructors. They are only fulfilling their duties as pledges. Pledges are also obliged to carry banners of a designated size on which are written the words: I am a Xi Phi pledge. This part of their initiation should not be embarrassing however, for it isn't everyone who can become a pledge of Xi Phi. Membership is limited to twenty-four, and eligibility is granted to the junior or senior who has a B” average. Grades are not all that count, however. A complicated rating sheet must be submitted to the organization, showing the offices held, membership in organizations, and honors awarded. Eligibility is then based upon a purely objective method by use of a point system. Personal preferences are not considered. As scholars and leaders they are all very busy. But they always have time for recre- ation at their monthly meetings at Men's Hall. They have table tennis matches, card games, and dancing. Cf most importance, of course, are the refreshments which Xi Phi members never overlook. It's food for thought,” they say. Informal initiations are the most fun. At the first semester initiation, the pledges con- ducted a quiz program. Dr. C. Gordon Brooks alias Professor Quiz gave Miss Hanthorn a trick problem to solve. Laughter ensued when Pro- fessor Quiz commented upon Miss Hanthorn's hesitancy with, Be alert 1 Focus, woman, focus! Be specific! l-irsi Row Miss HmiKorn, Dp. Stout, A. Achtrrbcrg, F. A dec, E. Buck.

Stout, Dr. Stout, David Huffstutter, Florence Williams and other member of the organization demonstrate in this picture that scholar- ship and leadership are not their only accomplishments. Second semester pledges also entertained actives Albert Achterberg introduced Eugene Morrison who gave a non-sensical talk. Then all the pledges sang the names of the charter members to the tune of the Beer Barrel Polka. It seemed that Eileen Engberg did most of the singing. Each year Xi Phi awards scholarships to the outstanding sophomore boy and girl at Honors Convocation. Each scholarship is worth ten dollars which is applied to the tuition. Like the laurel wreaths of Ancient Greece, the award carries with it distinctive honors which greatly outweigh its monetary value Last year the awards were given to Florence E. Williams and Arthur Kennedy. Xi Phi also publishes the News Letter every year. It contains the addresses of alumni and reports on the activities of Xi Phi. Failhe Ade© was editor this year. Maurice Lamoree, a senior from Stroms- burgf was elected president of Xi Phi this year. Other officers are: George Mitchell, vice presi- dent; Juanita Gilpin, recording secretary; Char lene Hansen, corresponding secretary; Virginia Evers, investigating secretary; and Shirley Boisen, treasurer Sponsors are Dr. H. G. Stout and Miss Emma Hanthorn. The two dinners, one in December and the other in May, are the outstanding social activ- ities of the fraternity. Alumni are invited and letters from those unable to attend are read. Xi Phi is an organization for the all- around college student. It is an honorary or- ganization of which every student hopes to be- come a member. II you study and receive good grades, if you are a diligent worker, and if you make use of your initiative in leading campus activities—who knows, you may wear the black and gold ribbons of Xi Phi.

Having the highest scholarship require- ment of any organization on the campus, Nu chapter of Pi Omega Pi, national honorary com- mercial organization, can be described as ex- clusive to the fullest meaning of the word. Be- sides requiring five hours of education, twelve hours of commerce, and 2.5 honor points in oth- er than commercial subjects, the most difficult barrier confronting commercial students is the 3.2 honor points average for all commercial work pursued. One pledge and four active members vividly recall the impressive initiation cere- mony amidst glowing candlelights and the soft, melodic violin chords of the recording To a Wild Rose. At the spring initiation held at the Midway Hotel, another active was taken into the fraternity. Each year at honors convocation, as a part of its regular activities, Pi Omega Pi presents a substantial award to an outstanding fresh- man in the field of commerce. This award is based upon scholarship, leadership, and per- sonality. Pi Omega Pi was especially honored by an invitation to install a new chapter at Hays, Kansas on February 15. Those who partici- pated in the installation were Miss Mildred M. Payne, national vice president, Juanita Gilpin, Virginia Evers, and Betty Kreider. We had a grand time, remarked President Gilpin at the next meeting of the local chapter. Nu Chapter, desiring to keep its member- ship intact, published a news bulletin including the names and addresses of alumni and active members, and the actives of the organization during the year. A historian's book is also kept in which pictures of alumni and interest- ing data concerning their graduate work, occu- pations, and families is entered Annually, questionnaires are sent to alumni to record their latest achievements or happenings. Mar- jorie Hollingsworth, historian, has now com- pleted compilation of this information received from all parts of the United States, and has ar- ranged the photographs and write-ups in the book in the order in which the members were graduated. In the spring, members of Pi Omega Pi for- get scholarship attainments and enjoy a picnic together. Last year, the honorary commercial students picnicked at Fort Kearney where they all joined in a game of softball previous to the picnic lunch. Juanita Gilpin was president of the Nu Chapter this year. Other officers were Virginia Evers, vice president; Betty Kreider, secretary; Frank Vanek, treasurer; Marjorie Hollings- worth, historian; and Darrell Walker, reporter. Mrs. Ethel M. Boasen is sponsor of the organ- ization. Page 53 First Raw: Mi s Crawford, Miss Kelly. Mr. Ryan. F. Aclev, T. Bers, Second Row: H. Disbrow. E, Eng- berjj, C, Hansen, t. Hantborn, A. Ken- nedy.

SfrieAA G ie tiae lAJtitUuj, In five or ten years, one of the members of this organization may write the years Best Seller, or be a Nobel Prize Winner. For the present, these pen-pushers are writing for The Antler ' a literary magazine sponsored by the Xi Beta Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta. Sincerity, Truth, and Design is the motto of Sigma Tau Delta, and its purpose is to pro- mote interest in the reading and writing of good literature. Members of this organization are English majors and minors who have a scholarship average of C or above, and have completed twelve hours of English. They are elected by a unanimous vote of the members. At the meetings, members usually read original essays, poems, stories, and sketches. Creative writing which is accepted is published in The Antler ' Helen Claire Disbrow was editor and Lindell Hanthorn was business man- ager this year. Pledges were required to carry a leather eight inches long, and to wear their pledge ribbons. Whenever an active inquired about either the feather or ribbon, pledges replied by reciting the Greek alphabet. Each year Xi Beta Chapter sponsors the freshman essay contest, and awards the Sigma Tau Delta Medal to the freshman who writes the best familiar essay. The C. T. Ryan Medal goes to the second place winner. All first year students are eligible for the contest. Original writings are submitted to sponsors or members of the fraternity, and from these essays, six are chosen. This year, however, competition was so keen that seven were selected. Meeting at the home of Eileen Engberg on March 22, mem- bers heard foe Hill, Phyllis Hanson, Betty Sitz, Norma Jean Schrack, Lois Louthan, Robert Webb, and Elizabeth Vohland read their com- positions. Joe Hill's essay, The Nebraska Farmer, won first place, while Mathew, the story of an old Ford, written by Phyllis Hanson, was judged second best. Medals were awarded in Honors Convocation, and the essays were printed in The Antler. ' Twas the Night Before Christmas was the theme for the annual formal Christmas din- ner held at Elliott's Motor Lodge. Toasts were given, Christmas carols were sung, and dances were presented by Zelda Jeanne Ryan. The climax of the year's activities was the traditional Spoon Bread breakfast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Ryan in May, Mr. Ryan acted as chef in preparing his favorite spoon bread. The national headquarters are located at Wayne, Nebraska, It is there that the national magazine, The Rectangle, is published. Page 59 The easiest way to a man's heart is through his stom- ach. But winning a man's heart is most certainly not the sole objective of the Home Economics Club. Self-improve- ment in home, school, and community is stressed. In September freshman girls were welcomed to the college with a tea given by the Home Economics Club. Later in the month a jolly-up in the form of a scavenger hunt introduced new members to the activities of the club. By candlelight the new members were initiated into the group and were instructed in the ideals of future home economists by the officers. Armistice Day was celebrated by learning ihe age-old art of knitting. A supper served in canteen-service style carried out the patriotic theme. Singing Christmas carols, members celebrated the Yuletide with a party at Case Hall. White elephant gifts were exchanged. Stories and songs of the holiday sea- son provided entertainment. The annual contribution of canned goods was made to the Salvation Army. In January a pot-luck supper with Miss Louise Enochs in charge, celebrated the birthday of Mrs. Bernice Dun- lavy. Mr. Olsen spoke on correct wood refinishing at the February meeting following a five o'clock tea which car- ried out the patriotic theme of the month, in the red, white, and blue table decorations. March 28 and 29, found twenty-five members of the club at the State Home Economics convention at Grand Island. Mary Hippie was president and Norma Newman was secretary of the Students Home Economics Associ- ation during the past year. Also in March, scientists of home and industry met at the annual Omega Alpha Tau and Home Economics Club dinner. Dr. Mary L Morse told of the use which the United States makes of syn- thetics. The annual banquet in April in honor of the senior members was the formal event of fhe year. Farewell was said with a picnic and election of officers in May. First Row: Mrs. Dunlavy, Miss Enochs, V.

Morse, chem- istry instructor. After fifteen minutes in the first Academy program of the year, Bob Chesnut had convinced those present that two really was four, and cinched the program of mathemagics by reading Joe Whitney's mind. All were asiounded. ]oe is still pondering over some of the reve- lations. In another program. Professor Vacuum and Herr Tonic lectured before a somewhat intimidated Academy audience on the care and use of an explosive. Donald Johnson and Warren McKain, Vacuum and Tonic respec- tively, figuratively brought down the house in the finale as everything exploded in flames and fumes. Many Antelope students recall how Wild Bill Har- rison, Howard Thomas, and Warren McCain licked up fire to the last crumb, ate a lighted candle, created test tube snakes and other wonders at the Y.M.-Y.W. Christ- mas Carnival. Early in the first semester all Academy members trekked up to Kearney Lake, where the organization held its annual picnic. Mildred Foreman, demure president, combined business with picnicking by investigating the permeability of a pickle, while Dean Bullet Brown, sec- retary-treasurer of the group, collected nickels from those present. At the March meeting, Margaret Mercer spoke on the skeletal system, and Joe Hill told of the migratory habits of birds. John Ludden and Faye Johnson demonstrated the procedure in preparing a slide and finding the speci- men through the microscope. Purpose of the association, as Donald Johnson, vice president, will tell anyone, is to create and promote an intelligent interest in science and mathematics. Active members numbered twenty-seven this year. Page 61 Fint How: Mr. Foster. Dr. Fox. Mr� . Hansen. Miss Hamhorn. Mis Ludden. Dr. Morse. I. Beck, I, Berg, S. Boisen. Second Row: D, Brown. A. Bruce.

Ex- clamations of wow and gosh are often heard, though, when Miss Hosic, sponsor gives the group a demonstration of how a French- man would express himself. Members of Le Cercle Francois, in speaking French, confine themselves to trilling their Vs and nasalizing their n's according to Miss Hosic's symbol page. They leave detailed discussions to Beta Pi The tans. Throughout the year, members of the French Club hastened their familiarity with the French language by playing games, presenting skits, singing songs—all in French. At the first meeting Craig Sigman pretended to appear un- interested when the group played Upset the Fruit Basket, but he was soon overwhelmed by the spirit of the game. That spirit, so es- sential to an active organization, helped to bring the French language closer to the stu- dents. Learning French proved to be fun. The best remembered of the long list of French Club activities was the Christmas party held at the home of Miss Hosic. Here, Pedro Penner attempted to assume an air of dignity as he introduced members of Le Cercle Fran- cois in their newly-acquired language. Sev- eral games were played. One game consisted of placing objects on a table and allowing a student to look at them for a short time. The objects were then removed and the student had to name all the objects that he could in French. The most fun came when marshmal- lows were tied to the middle of pieces of string. The group was divided into couples, and when the starting signal was given each person be- gan chewing his end of the string. The one who reached the middle of the string devoured the marshmallow. Prizes were given to the winners. This stunt provided considerable amusement. In January, a spelldown was held in which words had to be spelled backward, as if it were not difficult enough to spell the words as they were. DeWayne Stemper was the last member standing in the spelldown. At the March meeting, members of Le Cercle Francais were entertained by Dorothy Kistler, Evelyn Lengkeek, Vesta Moschel, and DeWayne Stemper who presented an original French skit, Une Chapeau pour Madame. Evelyn Lengkeek, who operated a hattery proved to be such a good saleswoman that she sold Dorothy Kistler, a very particular old lady, the hat which she originally wore when she entered the shop. The most ridiculous part of the skit was the old-fashioned hats that Evelyn Lengkeek overly praised. A quiz program was also conducted by Carroll Dean Erickson. Questions about the history and customs of France were asked. Members of Le Cercle Francais learn their French and enjoy it. First Row: MUs Hosic, D. Anderson, S. Andersen. J. Barber. B. Barney, L.

In case you are inter- ested, just ask some member of Omega Alpha Tau, honorary science fraternity. In an initiation which is reputedly the toughest in college, pledges not only walk on high explosives, but they eat such interest- ing items as castor oil and saccharin. The most amusing part of the whole initiation (for the actives, of course) comes when the pledges are briskly stimulated with about ten thousand volts of electricity furnished by a Ford coil. Pledges of the fraternity are easily identi- fied previous to the initiation by the eggs which they carry, and by the small silver vials which they wear. They may be recognized immedi- ately afterward by the indelible black stains on their hands. The outstanding meetings of the year are usually the annual banquet and the spring ex- cursion, and of almost equal importance is the joint meeting with the Home Economics Club. It has been demonstrated experimentally that scientists are fond of good food, but no one has ever discovered what the Home Economics Club gets out of the meeting, except excellent practice. This year's banquet featured an address by Dr. H. G. Deming of the University of Ne- braska. The spring picnic included the now almost traditional ride on Lake Kearney in Dr. Fox's motorboat.

Bonjourl Comment allez-vous aujourd'- hui? Je vais Ires bien, merci, et vous?” Tres bien, merci, Such are the usual greet- ings of French students upon arrival at the monthly meetings of Beta Pi Theta, national honorary French fraternity. Greetings in French are by no means the only use that members of the Pi Iota chapter make of the French language. Entire meetings from the first bonjour to the last au revoir are held in French. President Arthur Kennedy opens the business meetings. Charlene Han- sen, secretary, calls roll with the appropriate Monsieur or Mademoiselle preceding each name. Club members acknowledge their presence by saying ici. Charlene then reads the notes of the last meeting which are all writ- ten in French. There are always temptations to break into the English. There are times when a Beta Pi Theta member, forgetting for the moment the proper French word, places a foreign pronunciation on an English word in an effort for quick substitution. When this is done, all members laugh at the words which are being coined. Eleven new members were initiated into the fraternity at the first meeting of the year held at the home of Miss Alma Hosic, sponsor. Meeting another time at Mildred Lantz's home, pledges recited original French poems. Sarah Lee Weld played a violin solo. When not singing songs such as La Marseillaise, Frere Jacques, Alouette, or Miss Hosic's transla- tion of Nowell, French members have mu- sical numbers and solos presented by Mary Ann Wendell. Lorraine Lewis, and Betty and Phyllis Behrens. Lively conversations on French culture, architecture, and customs carried on in the French language are interspersed with argu- ments varying from the presidential election and the next move of Hitler to the drouth and the weather. A major or minor in French, a B in every French course taken, and a two-point-five scholastic average are required for eligibility. Pledges must write a five-hundred word essay in French and memorize a sixteen-line French poem. !JU i Pasdent fyn MxxuA fieauocuisp.

Latin students met on the second Wednesday of every month in the fac- ulty dining room of Men's Hall and enjoyed the hospital- ity ot Mrs. Mathews who served refreshments and assisted with the entertainment. After failing in an attempt to interpret the old consti- tution, the members decided to undertake the writing of a Club members decided to add a Roman atmosphere to room 108, the new Latin classroom, by mounting the bust of Julius Caesar against blue velour draperies in a convenient niche in the room. Acting as hosts to approxi- mately seventy guests at a tea in March, members of Sodalitas Latina honored the triumphal return of Gaius Julius Caesar to his legions. Dorothy Oliver and Nye Johnson greeted guests, and Beth Sharrah and Mildred Palmgren poured. President Cushing was the guest of honor. The third week in April, designated by the National Classical Association as Latin Week, since it is the tradi- tional date of the founding of Rome, climaxed the social activities oi the club. During that week a special pro- gram emphasizing Latin customs and traditions, and stressing the importance of Latin in modern living was planned and carried out. On Thursday of that week, under the direction of Miss Robinson, the faculty dining room became a feasting place ot Old Rome and members were asked to do as Romans do at a typical Roman banquet. However, the reclining position which Roman guests assumed was substituted by the modern and much less cumbersome upright posture. new one. Firsi Row: Miss Robinson, G. B isinjjiT. D. Bryn or, N.

Without any warning, a band consist- ing of some of the most talented musicians on the campus began marching up and down the halls playing the Beer Barrel Polka. Two barkers, George Ulbrick and Curtiss Merrick, followed, shouting the praises of the program about to start in the room where members of Der Deutsche Verein were ready to enter- tain those persons attending the annual Christ- mas Festival. As soon as the band returned, the mem- bers took their places, and the audience, while drinking free root beer, listened to German mu- sic played by the band. Novelty numbers and Christmas songs sung in German by vocal trios were interspersed among the band selec- tions. The presentation of a German folk dance by Margreta Schlueter and Lloyd Baysdorfer was quite a surprise to those who had planned the program. However, this impromptu per- formance was very successful and was re- peated several times during the evening. On the Tuesday following their participa- tion in the Festival, members of Der Deutsche Verein attended a party given for them by Miss Istas, the club’s sponsor. Guests included a student invited by each club member, and two faculty members. Dr. Mary Morse and Miss Faye Coleg rove. Everyone brought a small gift, and a gift exchange was conducted by Marcelle Craven. A German sound film concerning the Radsporl was shown, after which Max Coggins and Lor- raine Lewis sang solos. The remainder of the evening was spent playing games and learn- ing folk dances. Dean Marshall did an excel- lent job of washing dishes after the refresh- ments were served. A Mad March Hare party was the next entertainment on Der Deutsche Verein's cal- endar. All persons who attended were dressed as characters from fairy-tale land. Outstand- ing costumes were the knee pants of Larry Lawson and the scare-crow ensemble of Lloyd Baysdorfer. First Row; Miss Utit, J. Anderson, L, Baysdorfer, G. Binger. N. Ciorhon.

Marcus Tullius Tiro, the learned Ireedman and secretary ol Cicero, introduced a system of shorthand into Ancient Rome somewhat over a half-century B,C, He devised this system when he found it necessary to record the great orations which Cicero delivered before the Ro- man senate. Today, the commercial students of N.S.T.C. belong to the organization named after the first stenographer. They call them- selves Tironians. Instead of hearing lectures on the rise and fall of the nation's business in- dex, Tironians believe in having a good time roller skating or having parties at Men's Hall where they play cards and table tennis and dance. Reiney Ehly was president of the Ti- ronian Club this year. In a well-furnished room on third floor, Catholic Club members spend their time be- tween classes studying, making use of the li- brary facilities offered, or gathering to rest in this niche of solitude and peace. Were it not for the occasional screechings of beginning violin students from the music department, all disturbances would remain unheard. On Wed- nesday evenings, members have educational and social meetings interchangeably. At the educational meetings, Father Tschida or Mr. Cemy lead discussions. Someone gives a re- port.

THERE WAS A YOUNG I.ADY FROM WHEELING”— Mr. Kirby (Bob Minnickl casts a startled look at the inebriated Gay Wellington (Margrem Schlucter) who is singing a song to him. Jlujttti! Gu iicUn! MuAic! The lights are dimmed, the audience is hurrying down the aisles to their seats, there goes the signal for ihe curtain, and here is the first act of tonight's play, 'You Can't Take It With You. There really is no radio announcer, but mentally, the large audiences at the all-college plays are coupling the atmosphere of the play which they come to see with that ot the Little Theater Off Times Square. Given in the college theater, the play You Can't Take It With You by Hart and Kauf- mann, sparkled with humor and groaned in a few philosophic spots; nevertheless, it kept the audience laughing. 'The play was a scream! That family was mad! I never laughed so much in all my life! Thus, college students described the play. Memorable to all Thespians are the ex- tended night rehearsals the week before pres- entation. One such evening just about mid- night, Margreta Schlueter went home and brewed some very strong coffee which she brought over to the cast to awaken them some- what. Unable to purchase cream at that hour of the night, like a true chemist, Margreta sub- stituted marshmallows for the cream. It brought about the desired effect, for even Joe Whitney remarked later that it was really potent stuff! You Can't Take ft With You marked the eighth consecutive all-college play In which Reiney Ehly has acted. Be it comedy, mystery, musical comedy, or psychological drama, he has consistently given good performances. Excellent acting was done by Vaughn Larson in the lead as Grandpa Vanderhof. The World We Make, by Sidney Kings- ley, selected as the second semester all-college play, was a reaction from the comedies that have flitted about the college stage since the production of Our Town last year. It pre- sented contemporary problems and their solu- tions with a psychological interpretation. The most characteristic traits of Dr. Robert- son Strawn, new director of the college theater, are his democratic relationships with his stu- dent actors, and his mania for doing new and different things in new and different ways. He possesses creative ability. During second se- mester, Dr. Strawn was nicknamed Al after A1 Hitchcock, the Hollywood director who al- ways appeared in his own motion pictures. It seems that Dr. Strawn had a two or three-line part which he took in The World We Make.

A student gulps the last half of a cup of coffee, crams the remain- der of a doughnut down his throat, glances to- ward the clock, and dashes out of the Box Car as he slides into his coat. Outside he runs to overtake several fellows who are walking to- ward the station wagon, their means of trans- portation to the airport, where they will begin the day with a flight in the brisk morning air. At the airport, Mr. Litwiller has already begun checking the planes. A plane is rolled out of the hangar and while one student op- erates the controls another cranks the prop. The instructor climbs in the front seat and checks the instruments before him as he waits for the throbbing motor to get warm. A few minutes later, a sudden roar of the plane's ex- haust announces that a student is adding to his hours of flight. There is another side to the C.A.A. train- ing which might lack some of the glamour of the actual flying, but is just as essential. Each afternoon at 4:00, the fledglings gather in Mr. Foster’s classroom to discuss wind velocities, weather maps, compasses, altimeters, wing (laps, propellors, and air-speed indicators. Dur- ing the first semester, the ground school classes were held in the evenings. Through the courtesy of the instructor, Mr. Litwiller, your Blue and Gold photographer was able, one cold but sunny Sunday morning, to snap the aerial photograph which forms the end sheets of this book. 1 SECOND SEMESTER PILOTS—EuKvru Polyhenm, Chester Keen, Irwin Walker, Leo Atkisson Steve Scoll, Tex Weidmati, Bob Comeer, Bob Tool, Laddie Lytingrr, Jay Wi]|js, Harold Hir'h.

Have you ever spoken before an audience when your voice quivered, your knees knocked, and you forgot everything you had to say? Members of Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensic fraternity, have all had that experi- ence once, and now, as experienced speakers, they more fully realize that he that hath a ready tongue hath a sharp weapon. The debate squad had an excellent season this year despite two serious disadvantages— a decreased budget and the illness of their de- bate coach, Mr. Hansen, during the crucial months of the debate season. Nevertheless, the debate squad won more than two-thirds of their debates against keen competition. Early J4e 7Itai cMatU R cuLf, losufue,.. a in the season, two men's teams. James Harding and David Huffstutter, and Ralph Nelson and Eugene Morrison, together with one women's team, Virginia Henline and Florence Williams, went to the Omaha University tourney to win fourteen out of eighteen debates. In February, the debate squad met the crack teams of the country at the University of Oklahoma tournament. Nelson and Morrison won ihird in the men's B division at the state meet, while Harding and Huffstutter ranked fourth in the men s A group. At the provincial tournament, the B team won three debates for an excellent ranking, while the A team went to the finals and gained a superior ranking. First Row: Mr. Hansen. D, Campbell, V.

When a bonfire raged prematurely for the Homecoming parade, groans of disappoint- ment and defeat were heard from students. The Zip Club changed the picture. More boxes were gathered. They rallied gloomy students into an enthusiastic snake dance and marched through Central Avenue. Preceded by the band, the Zip Club led the cheering crowd to the Fori Kearney Hotel where the Chadron team was lodging. With a pep talk by Pop Klein, chants of Beat Chadron filling the air, and the band playing Onward, Kearney, the snake dance was directed homeward only to find the second pile of boxes in flames and half burned. More forceful became the de- mands of the cheer leaders. Louder were the yells. Students became high-spirited and vi- gorously clamored for victory. It was the same student pep and school spirit which the Zip Club kindled that won the game over Chadron the next day. It was the Zip Club again that organized the trip of the band and student body to Hast- ings in a special train. Fans agreed that the trip was one of the big events of the year. An unsuspecting Antelope pulled a cord at the top ol the coach and was surprised when the train stopped suddenly. Ask the average student to define the du- ties of the Zip Club and he'll promptly reply: Wiry the Zip Club cheers the team! Cheer- ing the team is only one of the Zip Club's count- less activities. Miss Carrie Ludden's enthusi- astic charges cover a wide scope of service, ranging from campus guide duty to usher work. One of the highlight social events last year was the Zip Club party, honoring the K Club, athletic board, basketball squad, and band. Competing with chilly February, the affair, nevertheless, filled the college dining room dance floor. Numerous rallies in the halls, between classes, in the auditorium, or al the gymnasium sent the athletes off with high spirits. BEAT CHADRON THEY SHOUT—Members of the Zip Club are shown in the Home, coming parade just before the game in which they spurred Kearney to another victory.

COUNCIL ASSURES FAIR ELECTIONS— Naomi Stark and Eleanor Curry sign their names on the voting register which is being guarded by Coun- cil members, Marjorie Hollingsworth and. Helen Lock- hart, «ALLOTS ARE COUNTED—Ora Lindau. sen- ior class representative, gathers ballots which have been carefully checked by council members, Bob Chesnur, Jerry Lydiau. Lois Huffsiuner, Irma Judy, Virginia Henline, and Mauridc Smith, while Gerald Miller posts the totals on the blackboard. The effectiveness of the Student Council is certainly not heralded from the housetops, commented an instructor who had been on the campus for many years and had witnessed the accomplishments of the Student Council. In past years, it was no new experience for the Student Council to face criticism. Some persons had been dissatisfied with the Student Council because they felt it had attempted to handle too much of the social program. Some declared that little was done for the students' social life, that the program had been inade- quate. Others snickered when the Student Council was mentioned. Last year the Blue and Gold read as fol- lows: If funds are available, we can look forward to a more varied and greatly improved social program next year. More funds have been made available to the Council this year, and it is the consensus of the students that the social program has been greatly improved, and has been efficiently handled by the Coun- cil under the leadership of David Huffstutter, president. Dave's calmness, his ability to ex- press himself intelligently and appropriately, and his sincere desire to promote the inter- ests of the students has greatly changed pre- vious opinions of the Council. The Council, as it meets every Wednesday afternoon, has many student problems to solve for the betterment of our school. Each fall it publishes the student handbook and directory, assuming full responsibility for this work. An- other early first semester task is the disciplin- ing of freshmen, the enforcement of the wear- ing of the green caps, the regulation of the bringing of boxes for the football bonfire, and the annual frosh-upperclassmen tug of war. The tug of war, won by the upperclassmen this year for the first time in the history of the school, caused a temporary crisis, but careful administration by the Student Council solved this problem. Constructive work was done by the Coun- cil when it received the approval of the ad- ministration to place the Blue and Gold on the contingent ticket, thus enabling students to re- ceive an annual at greatly reduced cost. The drive for furniture for the student lounges was launched upon the announcement by the Council that it would give dollar for dollar to match donations of students and faculty. Page 72 As the year goes along, the Student Coun- cil meets minor situations which the average student does not see. It places its support be- hind worth while campus activities, and helps in odd jobs such as maintaining check rooms lor the inter-high school contests. The N.S.T.C. Council is the only student governing body in Nebraska that is affiliated with the National Federated Students Associ- ation of America. This year, President Huff- stutter was sent to the national convention during Christmas vacation at Brunswick, New Jersey for symposiums on student government. The representation on this most important organization on the campus is made up of two students from each class, and four repre- sentatives and a president and vice president elected at large. The secretary is appointed by the president. As usual, this spring, fra- ternity-backed candidates came through the primaries, and in the general election Jim Ranz and Bill Anderson were selected to serve as president and vice president for next year. The faculty also elects two of its members as sponsors of the group. This year's members were Miss Mildred M. Payne and Mr. M. S. Pate who gave much of their time to advising and assisting the Council in its work. The students of the college are beginning to realize the importance and the many duties of their Council, and its part in student gov- ernment. With greater cooperation the Stu- dent Council will serve its electorate even bet- ter next year. 4 Scores of slightly bewildered girls left their families and brought their baggage last Sep- tember to enroll at the Nebraska State Teach- ers College at Kearney. Many of them ar- rived Sunday, September 1, so that they would miss none of freshman orientation week which started Monday morning. Hardly had they deposited trunks and bags in their rooms and said goodbye to their folks when they were welcomed and entertained by members of the College Women's League at a reception in Case Hall. Probably this first official welcome staved off some serious cases of nostalgia. The organization which welcomed them the first day is automatic; it is democratic; and it is for women only. College Women's League is automatic because the minute a girl signs her registration cards, she automatically be- comes a member. It is democratic because all girls, about 400 of them, do belong, and be- cause the cabinet consists of fourteen girls rep- resenting all the major groups on the campus such as, Case Hall; Green Terrace; town girls; out-of-town girls who stay in private homes; Y.W.C.A.? and freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes. Il is for women only be- cause men just don't belong to Women's League since they have an organization of their own. The theme that the girls chose for the year shows that they are not back numbers. It was Wings Over the Campus. They started out with Ground Work in the September meeting and ended with Happy Landings ' in May. Be- sides their Thursday morning convocations every month, they helped sponsor the appear- ance on this campus ol Anna Bird Stewart, dis- tinguished writer and lecturer. Miss Stewart spoke for general convocation, November 26, and was honored at a reception in the after- noon. Budding writers on the campus were thrilled by personal interviews with her. One of the projects for which C.W.L. is best known is the student loan fund. From its treas- ury the organization made over ninety accom- modations this year, the loans making it pos- sible for many girls to stay in college. Girls donated ten per cent of all dues by December 20, to the Christmas Seal Fund. After these good deeds were done, the organizations de- cided to try to make a little money; so, with the Men's League, the girls sponsored an all col- lege dance March 28, Ai a general convoca- tion in April, a parade of new spring styles was held. True to their theme, the girls flew high this year. First Row: Dtan Robinson. E, Mtck. G. Bellinger. E. Engherg, V. Evers. Second Row: F. Foster. J. Fouich. B. Hi liter long, F. Johnson. N. New. man.

What should college men know? How may good fellowship be promoted? How should the draft be met by college men? These and many more questions were frequently dis- cussed at the meetings of the Men's Council, the executive group of the College Men's League. At the men's convocations which were held the third Thursday of each month, special instrumental and vocal numbers were always offered. At one meeting Mr. Falmlen of the International Harvester Company showed a film of cm African expedition. Presi- dent Cushing gave an inspirational talk at an- other meeting. In February, Mr. Durfee Larson showed slides while he spoke on his recent trip to Mexico. To help the men who are interested in the air corps, at a special meeting Lieutenant Robb, a former N.S.T.C. student, told of the life of an aviator at Randolph Field, Texas. The follow- ing week, Dr, H. C. Hansen, an army captain, spoke on various phases of the army, and an- swered questions which the men asked. At each meeting during the second semester, bulletins on acceptable social manners edited by Dean Marshall were distributed. When fawn Pesek, the Ravenna Tiger Man tussled with Warren Capellan at the Men's League boxing and wrestling show in December, college men witnessed clean enter- tainment and good sportsmanship, Pesek, world's heavyweight wrestling king, proved himself a real champion as he gave an exhi- bition at no cost to the men. Scotia' Rother, referee, was the clown of the affair. All men will remember the bold challenge of the Masked Marvel to wrestle anyone in the au- dience—that is with the exception of Pesek. The Masked Marvel was revealed as being Johnny Haesler when Stan Copley accepted the challenge and managed to unmask his op- ponent. Later the Men's Council members served 375 bowls of chili to the college men and their guests, members of the Junior Cham- ber of Commerce. The Men's Council does considerably more than sponsor programs. It co-operated with the Kiwanis Club in selling tickets, the proceeds of which were used to buy shoes for needy children in Kearney. The Council con- tributed to the Iniantile Paralysis Fund directed by the Senior Chamber of Commerce. During orientation week and the inter-high school con- tests, Council members were hosts at recep- tions. On May 4, college men and businessmen of Kearney held the third successful annual picnic at the Harmon Field. As usual, there was plenty of good food for ’'seconds, In ad- dition, a program of games and music pro- vided entertainment for the afternoon. 9+i Pictu ie, and Stosuf, A year ago in May, work was begun on this the 1941 Blue and Gold Policies were formed, contracts signed, lay-outs made, covers designed—yes, even pictures taken. Year- books were studied during the summer at the National Scholastic Press Association at Min- neapolis. That was where Gordon Brooks, business manager, received the nickname Homo-gee-nized. But that's a story in itself. An office was set up. Then the hard work be- gan. The trio oi Brooks, Achterberg, and Mit- chell walked the streets soliciting advertising. Gordon Brooks outlined the financial plan of the book before leaving for Washington, D. C. A1 Achterberg's weight often dropped five pounds during a strenuous day of running about snapping pictures and handling trans- actions. George Mitchell worked late nights scheduling pictures and writing copy. Don Johnson and Achterberg printed and enlarged pictures on Saturdays. Ralph Nelson read proof and identified pictures when not debat- ing. Norris Anderson devoted his time to sports writing when he finished his Antelope duties. Bernice Grosh, Jim Ranzr and Warren Paine did their part when not working at other things. Miss Payne always gave her time to the setting up of books, reading copy, and giv- ing helpful advice. The 1941 Blue and Gold was not formed over night. Rather it was the product of hard work done by the entire staff over an entire year.

Page 76 HeUUul tlt tMecAUn i Every Friday at noon, there is a mad scramble on first and second floors for a copy of the Antelope. In half an hour the school news is read. Scarcely a thought is given to the hours and hours of gathering news, prepar- ing copy, writing the last minute stories, com- posing headlines, and reading proof. A visit to the Hub office any Thursday evening will convince anyone that it takes considerably more time to edit the Antelope than it does to read it. In years past, editors of the Antelope have been reporters, feature and editorial writers, columnists, copy editors, office boy, and janitor all in one. This year an adequate staff sup- ported the editor, Marjory Swan. A number of active columnists contributed. Among those were “Cue Beat, a column on music by Jud Pearson and Max Coggins; Inquisitive Bill, a popular questionnaire on current affairs con- ducted by Bill Stafford; and Yehudi's Diary, a more-daring-1han-usual gossip column by Geraldine Slocum. In spite of the large num- ber of reporters, Miss Swan retained one of the usual extra duties: janitor work—probably be- cause she loved itl There never was a time when the Antelope office did not have visitors. It was a popular hang-out. Passers-by always dropped in. When most of the staff crowded into the small Antelope office, the walls seemed to bulge. After a very busy day, Marjory remarked that everything turns up from a baby turtle to the gray campus cat. Page 11 SCOOP—Antelope Editor Marjory Swan takes a tast minute story on the telephone.

Music lovers Irom all parts ol Nebraska came to hear Kearney's seventy piece symphony orchestra directed by Mr. Harold Cemy when it launched its sixth successful season on December 3, with Louise Meiszner, brilliant sixteen year old American pianist, as guest artist. Mr. Cemy's efforts to place orchestral music on a high level in Nebraska were rewarded by a capacity audience in attendance. Another highlight of the concert season was the annual spring tour, which took place on April 2, 3, and 4. This year the symphony presented concerts in Ogallala. Sidney, Scottsbluff, Alliance, Bridgeport, and North Platte. The final event of great significance was the appearance of Gregor Piatigorsky, one of the world's foremost exponents of the violincello, on April 22. Mr. Piatigorsky's performance was a fitting climax for the music calendar. Vivid in the memory of orchestra players is the hour alter hour of prac- ticing difficult passages, of tired fingers, and drooping eyelids. One thing helps immensely. That is Mr. Cemy's wit. Without it, constant drill would become extremely monotonous and tedious. On one occasion, Mr. Cemy shouted: ' Basses, it's a gallop! Can't you gallop? It seems that the basses OteUveAt ia SeeJzA A Page 78 Klein, W. Ltncnst� , L. Piester, FLUTE i V. Knapple, D. Bryner. M. Porter. PICCOLO: V. Knapple. OBOE- A. Kennedy. B. Coon. M. Mieth.

At least Mr. Cerny proceeded to bounce up and down on his high stool and demon- strate the rhythm ot a gallop. Then a bit later: Cellos, it's not The Campbells Are Coming. It's a pianissimo! When he tells the violins that their pizzicato notes sound as if someone suddenly kicked an over-ripe pump- kin, they get it. There was a time, too, when he told the oboe player that he was sure his oboe had asthma. One of Mr. Cerny s pet stories concerns the man who was imported from Europe to play one note and counted 399 measures of rest and missed the note. Mr. Cerny imported a cymbal player for one cymbal crash in the entire concert. At the appointed time, the audience watched the player raise the cymbals for the crucial note. However, with the stress of cueing in a flute, Mr. Cerny neglected to cue in the cymbal player, and eventually, dejected, the cymbal player lowered the cymbals. The note was never played. i Pbckc+itaiian BLOW, WIND. BLOW!—The very, very long eve nine of the final rehearsal for the first semester concert found symphony students Bill Barney.

When the college band marched out on the field it was led not only by Willys Neu- strom, drum major, but also by two high-step- ping, shapely majorettes, Geraldine Slocum and Marjorie Peckman. These brightly garbed musicians, executing formations and drills at football games last fall brought enthusiastic cheers from the crowds in the grandstand, while alumni commented, If we had only had a band like that way back when . . Neustrom, who acted as drill master with Mr. Cemy, developed a group of intricate and novel maneuvers which were executed during the half-times of the home games. The band accompanied the team and student body to Hastings on a special train. Some of the band's maneuvers were: an anchor formation out- lined with flashlights on the darkened football field, with the band playing Anchors Aweigh; a number of scatter formations; and the flag-planting ceremony with the Na- tional Guardsmen before game time at the homecoming tilt with Chadron. When the football season closed, the group was condensed under the leadership of Laddie Lysinger, the old swing maestro, and was known as a pep band. The group fur- nished rafter-ringing music for all home bas- ketball games. Memorable to the audience, as well as the members, was the inspired trumpet playing of Ozzie Lancaster, Harry Kennedy's modi- fied goose-step, the solid-sending of Beanie Coon's drumming, the well-meaning words of encouragement of Max In Step Coggins, and Jud Pearson's sudden attacks on the clarinet. 1 W T M I i Bd m ur � Page 80 It is lour o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Stu- dents file into room 322. All eyes have turned to Mr. Doughty in front of the room. Good af- ternoon, he says in a low voice, what do you wish to sing while Mr. Minnick takes roll? Seventy-two voices answer in unison: Beau- tiful Savior! And so begins another choir re- hearsal. Choir members do not confine all of their singing tc the ensemble itself, but are fre- quently divided into trios, quartets, and groups of other sizes. This type of singing requires the student to have an accurate sense of pitch and a tone quality which will blend with the ensemble. During the year the choir participated in various activities, including a Christmas ves- per service, programs for city organizations, and music for baccalaureate and commence- ment. The choristers will long remember when the student directors were privileged, or obliged, to guide their voices through the difficult pas- sages of Exullate Deo and Be Not Afraid. The event of most importance to the choir and its director is the annual tour in which the entire group participates. This year the choir gave concerts in the towns of north central Nebraska, stopping at Ord, Callaway, Arnold, Burwell, and Gibbon. Firm Row: V. Throckmorton, J. FautfJi, M. KicnIcn. M. Johnson, G.

MelxdUeA Pag© 81 When prospective pledges receive cards in their mailboxes inviting them to the rush party of a fraternity cr sorority, they auto- maticaliy become rushees. During rush week they attend parties and dances, and listen to the good points of each social organ- ization. They are urged by active members to join their group. When rush week ends, all sales talk is hushed. The decision then rests upon the rushees. A notice is placed in all rushees' mailboxes instructing them to indicate their preference by calling at the office of their respective deans and making known their preference. At the preference din- ners which follow, oaths are administered, and the newcomers receive the official name of pledges. Then the real fun begins. This year, Caledonians compelled pledges to know the complete history of the name Cale- donia, to make paddles, obtain actives' sig- natures, and learn the Cal song. During hell week of first semester, pledges wore green neckties, and always had a supply of gum, candy, or cigarettes to offer the actives. At one meeting, actives enjoyed hearing Paul Ransley pray to Allah for forgiveness. Will McDowell found it difficult to keep in tune when he sang a solo for the Cals. Phi Tau pledges had to recite the Greek alphabet, salute actives whenever they saw them, carry matches in their pockets, wear pledge ribbons, and make paddles. Pledges had to receive a swat by each active and have their paddles signed. Most amusing was the time that Alvin Weakley had to sing the Phi Tau song with a ping pong ball in his mouth. Hell week found Sigma pledges wear- ing pink and white ribbons in their hair. With Nancy Campbell as Goldilocks, Dorothy Hol- comb as the Papa Bear, Lydia Piester as the Mama Bear, and Eleanor Curry as the Baby Bear, actives witnessed the dramatization of The Three Bears. Willa Scudder did a fan dance; Darlene Swancutt, Norma Harvey, and (lu'ilt PantieA., eMail 'WeeJz and SiaitUf SeAAio+vi FRIENDLY RIVALS—Jim R� nr and Paul Blessing, candidal for student council president, forget campaign issues and chuckle about ihe posters which were provided by their respective frats. Connie Madsen serenaded the Phi Taus; and Melba McNees drew a picture of her boy- friend, Fred Coe, on the blackboard and de- scribed him. Questions in which it was impossible to tell the truth were given to Zeta pledges in playing Truth and Consequences. Suffering the consequences, Doris Snyder and Doris Gatman fed one another crackers while blind- folded. Wanda Mallory scampered about Men's Hall getting thirteen signatures from boys. Carol White had to borrow a boy's necktie as well as to peel cm onion, lean Mal- lory counted all the steps of Case Hall. Straight hair and no make-up distin- guished Juanita pledges from actives during hell week. Each pledge bought dinner for her active mother. Pledges were given r vegetable soup which they had to eat without utensils. Afterwards, at a Kangaroo Court with actives as the jury several pledges were convicted and given spats. Louise Calvert had to play a violin solo. Ardith Anderson gave a talk on Why Big Golf Balls Don’t Have Little Golf Balls. Abdominal convulsions registered when pledges had to break their week-old eggs in their hands and then beat the eggs in a pan with their hands. Page 82 i Greek life for freshmen during the first semester was unknown for the first time in the college's history when the Inter-Fraternity- Sorority Council decided that no student hav- ing less than twelve hours credit could be rushed. As a result of this ruling, upperclass- men alone felt the pressure of fraternities and sororities during rush season. Frosh were compelled to twiddle their thumbs, literally speaking, while they viewed activities of the social organizations from the outside. When to 'rush' freshmen and how to 'rush ethically are the problems that have kept the Inter-Fraternity-Sorority Council mem- bers busy this year. The main purpose of this Council is to fos- ter cooperation among the social organizations on the campus. The rules set up by the Coun- cil are to regulate rushing seasons and to control problems that might arise among the sororities and fraternities. During the year, the Council sponsored the presentation of the scholarship awards. For second semester last year and first semester this year, the Juanitas and Phi Taus won the plaques which were awarded at general con- vocations. This Council is made up of the presidents of each organization and one representative from each group. Every third Tuesday of the month, the Council meets in the room of Mr. Richmond Davis, sponsor, where problems and complaints are received, decisions are rendered, and plans are formulated. Though one naturally presumes that riv- alry exists among the factions represented, it is no indication that friendliness and a spirit of cooperation is not present. Council mem- bers are guests at the most important dance of each organization. On April 5, the Council sponsored an Inter-Fraternity-Sorority formal dance at the college gymnasium, at which time all fraternity and sorority members danced to- gether to the music of Laddie Lysinger and his orchestra. The gymnasium was decorated in the colors of the three sororities and two frater- nities, with streamers hung across the dance floor. Banners and signs of the organizations were suspended from the ceiling or attached to the walls. Various alumni attended the dance. Bernice Grosh was president of the Inter- Fraternity-Sorority Council during first semes- ter. She was succeeded by Eileen Beck for Ihe second semester. V ! I C. Brush B. Goldstein F. Krnbeck M.

It was at the annual Christ- mas Festival that the Caledonian Fraternity re- enacted this stirring epic of Dangerous Dan for the students and faculty of N.S.T.C. Tex Weidman in the title role was assisted by Paul Blessing, who acted the part of The Stranger; and there are those today who are trying to get Paul to play the piano once more. Perhaps the outstanding character of the masterpiece, however, was Arthur Kennedy who, with skirts, rouge, and all the trimmings, portrayed the vi- vacious bit of femininity, The Lady That's Known as Lu. The action was in pantomime while Bill Stafford gave the reading and Max Coggins supplied appropriate music at the piano. There were several get-togethers at the Blue and Gold Boom and a gala Halloween party at the Fort Kearney Hotel. Goblins, ghosts, and witches all had their part on the program, but it must be admitted that the apple cider and doughnuts provided the best enter- tainment. Highlighting the events of the first semes- ter, the Caledonia Bowery Ball has been classed as one of the best parties ever given on the N.S.T.C. campus. On the evening of Jan- uary 18, Cals, their gals, and guests went to the Crystal Ballroom of the Fort Kearney Hotel dressed in the regalia of the Gay Nineties. Dancing was the main course of the evening, but other entertainment provided fun from be- ginning to end. THE BOWERY BALL—Cals and their gals donned turnery costumes for their first semester dance held in the Crystal Ballroom of the Fort Kearney. At one end of the ballroom was Sloppy Joe's saloon in the best accepted form. Within these tough portals at almost regular inter- vals, party members sat at the tables while bartenders served them from over a brass rail bar. Candles burning in beer bottles on each table gave the establishment the proper at- mosphere. At intermission, in contrast to most intermissions, nearly everyone gathered in Sloppy Joe's, drank the cider and the goodly assortment of Sloppy Joe's Specials, and sang songs of the Nineties that would put a barber shop quartet to shame. Later in the evening a floor show was staged which reached a climax when Betty Rossen sauntered (?) around the room as she sang My Man. Gay Ninety music pleasantly mixed with the modern as played by Laddie Lysinger and his orchestra. Once again the Cals showed their versa- tility by producing outstanding members on the gridiron. Paul Blessing was awarded All- State and All-Conference honors, while Paul Newell, Morris Wilmot, Willard Smith, and Phil Shelmadine gained berths on the All-Confer- ence squad also. Blessing also won the Most Valuable Player Award, and Morris Wilmot was chosen as the most Representative Man on the campus. WHEN GOOD FELLOWS GET TOGETHER—Willard Cush- tng (peaks at the Caledonian prilcronu dinner held in die Blue and Gold Room. l4+utif,r Jle (!leAAJiijzf finctk iltootll Unity, friendship, leadership, brotherhood —so reads the membership certificate of Phi Tau Gamma—and so reads the history of the Phi Taus for this year. Some sixty or more fellows made those standards stand out. Every Tuesday evening at the house there were heated discussions, swing sessions, and good fun which was always climaxed with the stirring words and tune of the Phi Tau song; Dim the lights within the cloister, incense ga- lore . . During the first semester, Lydiatt and Ingram moaned haunting no's on every vote at business meetings. They almost revolted once over the question of a salad for one of the fraternity dinners. Later Lydiatt was elected president to succeed Woody Meier who left school after the first semester. Pledges weren't the only ones who felt the wood. Meier, Lydiatt, Shiffermiller, and Holm as- sumed the position for swats for dropping ashes on the floor or for some other trivial mat- ter. Swatting actives was most fun. Phi Taus remember when Johnny Haesler as a pledge proudly proclaimed to the actives that a paddle couldn't hurt him. The result probably toughened Jawn so that he was better able to pass his air corps exams, but he was a sad and weary pledge for some time, but wiser for the experience. Dancing amid showers of confetti and ser- pentine, while whistles and horns screeched in the Kearney Laundry Hall which was dec- HARDING SWINGS—Russ Gossard, pledge president, has been found guilty of grosi in sub ordinati on' and Jim Harding ad ministers the cure while other actives enjoy the scene. orated with skeletons, black cats, and jack-o- lanterns, the Halloween dance could appropri- ately be termed as riotous. Herald Devine appeared in knickers. Dick Wallace wore a pajama shirt, a coat with tails, and a big-game hunter's helmet. Jerry Hollingsworth danced in rags. After masqueraders ate cookies with cider, Mr. Larson, sponsor, announced Harvey and Mrs. Ritter. Hermie May and Jo Duering, and Dean Brown and Virginia Evers as win- ners for being the best dressed, and each couple was given a prize. Hurry, hurry, hurry, folks! See the little girls from Honolulu dance. Witness the strip- tease act. Announcing over the public ad- dress system, Vaughn Larson, the barker. urged students to attend the Phi Tau’s night club which drew a capacity audience into the Y.W.C.A. room at the Christmas Festival. The girls in the grass skirts turned out to be Hermie May and Johnny Haesler who wiggled ad- mirably in South Sea Island fashion while keeping in rhythm with Laddie Lysinger's or- chestra. Bob Minnick's strip-tease act was described as an eye-opener. Gee, it was swell. They were tops. II they only played a little longer. ' Such ex- pressions were heard after the informal dance at the Armory, decorated patriotically, in which Phi Taus and their guests danced to mu- sic of the popular dance orchestra of Larry Herman. Many high positions of leadership in school organizations were capably handled by Phi Taus, including David Huffstutter, presi- dent, and Jerry Lydiatt, vice president, of the THE SPONSOR’S MESSAGE—Durfee Larson.

Strange that the end of a year should invariably bring on a dream-mist which shuts out ugly unpleasantness and swirls gray chif- fon about us. Dinner dances . . . Gay Feist - ner's music . . . Remember the winter formal? Aurora Borealis they called it . . . for the decorations, I wonder, or for the candy-striped taffetas and besequined chiffons which danced among the sparkling snowbanks and sophisti- cated penguins. How different from the gypsy camp at the carnival! Gala gypsy dancers, liquid music, breathtaking fortunes, and—ah, yes—kisses for the stalwart and fair. That was the night Marie Refshauge, a Sigma pledge, reigned as Christmas Queen. By the way, she also won the prize for being the best Daisy Mae at the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance. When was the first time I mel her ? It must have been at the rush party—a buffet supper at the Woman's Club House. 1 remember that we danced with Phi Taus later. So many people . . . But not as many as there were at our No- vember Blue and Gold dance. Standing Room Only they said in the Antelope. Only those present realize the absolute truth of the statement. Oh, but it was fun I So was the second semester rush party, Mexicali roses admitted rushees to an eve- ning of cards in a Mexican atmosphere, and later to a dance with the Cals. The following Friday twenty-five girls took out Sigma prefer- ence cards. Preference dinners were held in the Mid- way Hotel. So was the September formal ini- tiation. Cur February initiation was in Men's Hall. Ill never forget the beauty of the candle- light ceremonies. No wonder Sigma Theta Phi means so much to us . . . That reminds me . . . Barbara Jean Mc- Lachlin and Mary Lucille Kienlen are daugh- ters of Sigma alumnae. Barbara Jean, our reporter, read a paper on Why Fashion? at one of our meetings. Miss Ruth Kelly, our sponsor, talked to us about poise ana manners at another meeting. We like to be leaders socially as well as scholastically. I nearly forgot informal initiation . . . and after storming The Huddle, and bowing so gracefully to President Josephine Duering, too. Tsk, tsk! I paid my dues to Norma Newman, treasurer; smiled at Virginia Henline, vice president, and Betty Kreider, secretary; and somehow survived the evening. We entertained our mothers at a tea in May, the sorority seniors at a breakfast, and had a couple of dances this spring. Our Christmas breakfast at Men's Hall around a huge tree was memorable. I chuckle to think of the fast taxi rides to the Methodist Church so that we might attend as a group. Oh, oh! The clock is chiming twelve, and if I'm to get to church tomorrow, I'd better jump into bed. 'Night —Faithe Adee Page 89 v- . ■ •'V BING KING OF SWING------------Dr. George R. Binger lealure a smile for the camera as He and Mary Runner and Eileen Beck and Hersehel Pahl dance at the Zela Christmas formal. September 1940 found the Zetas opening their activities with a rush party in the form of a Press Conference held at the Midway Ho- tel. Rushees were introduced to the traditional game of Zetas. A nautical theme was used for the preference dinner held in the faculty dining room at Men's Hall. A well-planned social program made the Zetas sisters in every sense of the word. A watermelon feed and moonlight ride was plan- ned by Fern Samp. Virginia Bailey told fortunes at her Halloween party. Doris John- son's home was the setting for a Career Party; each girl dressed to represent the ca- reer she admired most. Blue and Gold Room dances enlivened Zeta social activities while the formal dance was being planned by Mary Runner. Polka dots covered the walls and floated in the ceil- ing of the Crystal Room at Hotel Fort Kearney. Zetas and guests danced to the music of Lad- die Lysingers college orchestra. The girls were guests of Mrs. Nigh at the annual Christmas breakfast, held this year in the faculty dining room at Men's Hall. Singing of Christmas carols and exchanging gifts pre- ceded their attending church together. A Bostonian Supper climaxed the first semester activities. Honored guests were members who were leaving the campus. TEARS. BUT NOT OF SORROW—Zeta Pledge. Carol White, huge rears, hut rumor has it thai the onion which she was (reeling was largely responsible. Hearls dominated the second semester rush party held at the Midway Hotel. The preference dinner also held at the Midway had the popular patriotic atmosphere. Roller skating and bowling held the atten- tion of the girls for a few evenings. Later they entertained their escorts at a Waffle Wiggle. Steak lries, hikes, and picnics featuring Gal- loping Guinea Pigs dominated the spring's ac- tivities. Cottonmill and Kearney Lakes, the Wildlife Club, and old Fort Kearney were the scenes of these activities. Fern Samp was in charge of the formal dinner dance held in May. The Zetas' favor- ite Laddie Lysinger and his orchestra played. Mothers of the Zetas were entertained in April at the sixth annual formal Mother-Daugh- ter Tea held at Case Hall. Zetas keep foremost in the cultural world by holding a cultural meeting once a month. Style shows and make-up experiments, travel talks and book reviews are presented and bridge is played. The sorority promotes leadership and scholarship as well as friendship and frolic. Eileen Beck, president, is also president of the Inter-Fraternity-Sorority Council and vice presi- dent of the Women's League. Altha Frame, Zeta vice president, is Estes Co-op chairman on the Y.W.C.A. cabinet, secretary of the W.A.A., and was elected president of the F.T.A. The secretary of the Zeta Sorority is Virginia Davis; treasurer, Patricia Cunningham; and social chairman, Doris Johnson. Mary Runner, who is secretary of the Inter-Fraternity-Sorority Council, was crowned Gridiron Queen of 1940 and was one of Kearney's Who's Who stu- dents. Mary was also treasurer of the junior class and president of the Y.W.C.A. Zetas are proud of one of their sponsors, Grace Mathews, who was honored at North- western University in February for having a high scholastic standing.

With Helen Louise Lockhart, president, the group began the year with a “rush'' dinner at Men's Hall, and later joined the Caledonians for a dance. The preference dinner was next, at which time active members pinned pledge ribbons on their daughters. The highlight of the first semester was the formal Christmas dance held December 20 at the Fort Kearney Hotel. Frances Beaver, chair- man, chose Pearly Gates as the theme. At ten o'clock, Helen Louise Lockhart was pre- sented as the Goddess of the Sky. Eighteen rushees pledged Juanita at the second semester preference dinner at the Mid- way Hotel. A George Washington theme was used. Early in the spring, the traditional Mother- Daughter Tea was held at Eva J. Case Hall honoring the mothers of the sorority girls. Climaxing all spring activities was the formal dinner dance held at the Fort Kearney Hotel on May 27, when Juanita Sorority cele- brated its thirtieth anniversary. Since scholarship is one of their aims, the Juanitas are proud that their organization won the scholarship plaque awarded this fall for second semester of last year. The sorority presented roses to Helen Claire Disbrow and Betty Martin for having the highest scholastic averages for the first semester. Juanitas are proud of their members who have been especially honored this year. LaRue Mattson was presented as 1941 DeMolay Sweetheart. Charlene Hansen played impor- tant roles in the all-college plays, and was a Who's Who member. Jeanne Erickson was lviaiar (loAe, (liUwi— also a Thespian. Florence E. Williams was on the women's A debate team, in Who's Who, and Sigma Tau Delta president, Marjorie Hollingsworth was a Who's Who and a Stu- dent Council member. Marjory Swan edited the Antelope and served as president of Wom- en's Council. Bernice Grosh was president of Sigma Tau Delta and the Inter-Fraternity-Sor- oriiy Council during the first semester. Helen Claire Disbrow was Antler editor, and was chosen as Women's League president and Stu- dent Council representative-at-large for next year. A CURTSY.

Descending on the Antelope athletic horizon early in September, King Gridiron departed with the wintry winds ol mid-No- vember after blazing a triumphant path that brought seven victories in nine starts. To further increase the measure of the Antelope squad’s success, the consecutive losses to Peru and Hastings found a bevy of regulars riding the bench with injuries. The preceding tilt with rugged Dakota Wes- leyan had taken a heavy injury toll. Mentor L F. Pop Klein's crew im- pressed in the opening fray with a 25-0 rout of Bethany, Halfback Wilmot led the Antelope play, posting a 49-yard punting average and scaring three touchdowns. Kearney held a 183-38 net-yard margin. Hauling back from the brink of defeat, Kearney edged South Dakota Wesleyan, 16- 14, with a last-minute touchdown to maintain a clear slate after the second start. Blessing fielded Hollencamp's aerial on the enemy four-yard stripe to set the stage for Wilmot's game-cinching touchdown. Paul Newell sparked the Antelope defensive play, smear- ing Wesleyan ball-packers at random until a late injury forced retirement. Kearney outdowned the invaders, 9-7.

With five varsity mainstays benched with injuries, Sub Stan Harris majored the offen- sive burden. Led by mercury-hoofed Jim Mather, Peru spoiled the Antelope eleven's NIAA debut in the next fray by speeding to a de- cisive 20-6 victory. Tiny Jack Hollencamp was the Kearney bright spark, scoring the lone touchdown and scampering for con- stant yardage.

Mike Shada's two touchdowns and George Ul- brick's fiery pivot play featured the victory. Performing before Ihe public in the final home stand, the Antelope grid men over- whelmed a smaller Buena Vista crew, 34-0. Warren Capellan, speedy halfback, raced lo three touchdowns. Paul Blessing scampered 73 yards with an enemy fumble to highlight the line play. Kearney climbed to second place in the conference by trouncing Wayne, 14-0. Driv- ing Bob Toof scored the Antelope markers in the second and third periods. Korte's pass receiving, Shada's running, and Sny- der's defensive play were other Antelope assets. DFCK PETERSON K—Sticky-fingered Peterson’ ability to hit iuli c passe brought him up from the sub ranks after a bright career with the B team. PH It SHELMADINE KK—Long before the grid togs were stored away. Shelmadine had established himself as one of the N1AA loop’s Tedding all-around guards.

Tremendous Tom w«s rated second only to Peru's Mclntrre as the Sop line-backer in the circuit. MORRIS WILMOT KKKK—An abundance of punting and running talent kept Morric in the spoilighi, especially during the early frays. NICK MITCHELL KK------------Quality surpassed quantity in the case of Quarterback Wee Boar. who packed more dynamite per pound than any other Antelope gridder. BOB TOOF K—Though hampered throughout by a ser- ious knee injury' hard-driving Toof proved himself the smart- est running back on the roster by scampering through the smallest hole. Four gridmen led the Antelope crew to runnerup rankings to Peru in both N1AA and state college play. A clever maneuver- er and pass-snatching threat, Paul Blessing gained state-wide end recognition. Though shining in every branch of tackle play, Paul Newell’s top talent was his defensive ability. TNT-propelled Mike Shada was the steadiest backfield performer on the roster. Willard Stortzy Smith, stocky guard, bul- warked the middle of the line. STAN HARRIS K —Harris surged to the front with a colorful passing performance against Hasting to join ranks with the top Antelope flippers and runners. Jack Snyder, Newell's tackle cohort; Phil Shelmadine, one of the top guards in the circuit; Morris Wilmot, punter and run- ner de luxe; and Warren Capellan, leading scorer, were close behind the big four. Tom Journey, top NIAA defensive fullback; Bob Toof, clever running back; George Barnett, talented blocker and defender; George Ul- brick, who rose to great heights against Chadron; and Jack Hollencamp, speedy quarterback, played constant ball through- out.

Harold Bacon's Antelope B team won five of eight starts for an impressive record. Out- scoring the enemy 148-48, the Baconmen fought to decisions over Hastings, 13-12; Hebron Jun- ior, 13-0; York, 72-0 and 42-0; and Concordia Junior, 6-0. McCook Junior College held the Antelope subs to a stalemate draw in an early game, then dropped the Kearney team, 18-0, later in the season. A hairline 12-8 Hastings victory added the second loss to the ledger. Since statistical excellence drives tandem with a winning campaign, Mentor Klein's charges out scored the enemy by a tidy mar- gin. The Kleinmen totaled 165 points in nine games to outclass the opposition's 35 points.

Page 101 A+itelxyze Gaye 7earn Gamplet i Gamp Ufti With Bix, GosuyueAti What goes up must come down is an adage that can be applied to the 1940-41 Antelope court class. Every team is slated for a year of mediocrity somewhere along the trail of time. Beset by injuries and facing the roughest slate to confront an Antelope court squad in recent years, the Watkins courtsters tucked away the court toggery after leaving a record that brought only six victories in twenty- one starts. Following a 29-27 triumph over McCook in the season opener, the Kearney crew dropped tilts to Omaha, Simp- son (two), and Doane on a four-day road trip. Wesleyan bowed, 34-25, before the NSTC club in the opening home game. NIAA circuit play proved disastrous for the Wat- kins five. Powerful Wayne, Chadron, and Peru each look two decisions over the cellar Antelopes. Inter-conference play with NCAC quintets brought Kearney stock up. The Antelopes pinned two losses on the co-champion Midland quintet, one defeat on York, and two blots to Nebraska Wesleyan's record. Kearney won five of ten starts against NCAC combines. Two distinctive types of play tinged the Antelope per- formance throughout the season. Form B was marked by ineffective goaling, lax delensive stands, and wild passes. Form A featured the attack in winning mettle. Passes flew directly to their mark, shots swished through the hoop, defensive play was tight—and the unpredict- able Kearneyites finished in front of the enemy. JERRY ARMATIS K—Hustling Jerry's sizzling passes and all-round court ability reflect a lengthy career on the maples, PAUL BLESSING KKK—“Big Paul’' out-distanced all Antelope scorer , tossing 170 points through the hoop to merit All-NIAA and All-State pivot recog- nition.

Lloyd McCullough Ward Nt'Wtomb Merlin Mvnafili Don Maline DON MALINE K—Brain-work and ag- greiiivrnos enabled Malinr, Corad freshman, to constantly gain the starting nod over sea- soned veterans. MERLIN MENAGH K—Defensive ability kept Mcnagh near the top of the Antelope guard heap throughout the season. WARD NEWCOMB K—Another prize frosh product, Newcomb developed rapidly to become a scoring leader in several late-season lilts. GILBERT WILSON KKK—A skilled un- der-basket craftsman, Wilson was headed for post-season laurels until a mid-season knee in- jury lowered hi efficiency. Scoring 170 points, Paul Blessing led Ihe Antelope offensive with an average ol 8.0 tallies per fray. Tom Journey was next in line with 144 counters for a 6.8 point average. Ora Lindau, who led the offensive during the closing games, and Blessing were the only senior squad members. Coach Harold Bacon's unbeaten B team brightened the NSTC cage horizon by winning fourteen straight games. Averaging 38.7 points per fray to the opposition's 21.8 tallies, the Bacon subs piled up 542 points while hold- ing the opposition to 306 tallies. Dick Peterson, Harvey Ludeke, Stan Harris, and Monte Kinder sparked the ma- chine. MAPLE MELEE—Two Hasting players cover the ball lo keep Kearney from taking possession.

Page 106 tf-iue Veti, QtuCfUt fyn ilt Pace. 1941 GUt e i Machine Confronted by an acute shortage of sea- soned manpower, personable L. F. Pop Klein, Antelope cinder tutor, was forced to rely upon a bright frosh class for balanced power. Two headline members of the NIAA-run- nerup 1940 squad, Carl Meyer and John Haes- ler, heeded to a mid-December National Guard call and left the 1941 burden to five lettermen, Paul Blessing, school discus record-holder; Bill Anderson and Franklin Scott, pole vault twins; Max Ingram, sprinter; and Merle Stewart, hasty sprinter and 440 ace. Blessing added shot putting and javelin tossing to claim addi- tional 1941 points. With the 1940 timber main- stays departed, Scott coupled vaulting talent with ability to cruise over both high and low sticks. Ingram shouldered 440 chores when Stewart was called for short-distance duty. Vernon Anderson, holder of marks of 4:47 and 10:47 in the inter-class mile and two-mile races, paced the frosh scorers. Dick Peterson led the 880 trotters with constant performances bordering on 2:05. Monte Kinder led NSTC's high jumpers. Behemoth Paul Peterson pro- pelled the discus 129 feet for an inter-class blue ribbon, and added points in the sprints. Earl Shea and Gerald Preston, Oconto speedsters, were reliable point bets over the 440 route. Ward Newcomb and Bob Lewis developed into talented hurdlers, Upperclass non-letter men aiding the cause were Warren Newcomb, hurdler; Virgil Korte, who tossed the platter over 130 feet at Hast- ings; Dean Blincow, broad jumper; Harvey Lu deke, high jumper; Don Johnson, miler; Mike Shada, pole vaulter; and Bob Anstine, sprinter. Scoring in every event, the Kleinmen tip- ped Hastings and York in the opening meet. Merle Stewart's 9 1-4 tallies paced Kearney to a 73 5-6 point total. Hastings, traditional An- telope foe, finished second with 55 2-3 points, followed by York with 36 1-2 counters. Top Antelope marks were the Anderson-Scott 11-9 vault performance, Anderson's 4:48,5 mile achievement, and Dick Peterson's 2:06.6 half mile clocking. First Row: B. Anderson. F, Scon.

Led by Dave Huffstutter, the 1940 Antelope tennis club annexed the NIAA championship. Shiffer- miller and Houska were the other- members of the crown club.

If the athlete prefers to compete by himself, he can turn to five individ- ual sports. Soccer opens the program short- ly after school starts, to be followed by touch football, basketball, volley- ball, swimming, track, and softball. Intramural play, directed by Ran- dell Watkins, is scored on a year- round point basis. The team com- piling the most points after the ter- mination of the six sports is crowned intramural champion for the year. Ontn muAali Onolude Seven Athletici Badminton, shuffleboard, table tennis, handball, and horseshoes are the available individual sports. Individual sport facilities are always open to students, and tournaments are conducted during the year. Intramural teams meriting the high point totals were: Pot Hunters, soccer; Faculty, basketball; YMCA, Senators, Phi Taus tied, volleyball; Cals, Swimming. Team captains were: Rangers, LeRoy Pointer; Pot Hunters, Max Nigh; Phi Taus, Ed Kelly; YMCA, John Hagood; Cals, Melvin Orth; Dog Patchers, Gerald Preston; Streamliners, James Nelson; Faculty, Roland Welch; Boars, Lester Kerr; Cremators, Dick Thomas; Senators, Duane Burkey; Underdogs, Wayne Smithey.

As an innovation in Iheir program this season, the W.A.A. promoted co-recreational volleyball. Girls played girl's rules; boys played boy's rules. Much to the delight of the spectators, the W.A.A. All-Star team won an overwhelming percentage of the games with various boy's teams from the physical educa- tion department. Members of the Women's Athletic Associ- ation sponsor the intra-mural tournaments for the sororities and women's organizations on the campus. Volleyball, basketball, badmin- ton, shuffleboard, table tennis, tennis, and swimming are main activities with an occa- sional roller skating and bowling party. It is possible to earn an award for each year's par- ticipation in W.A.A. The awards are a K letter, a locket, a W.A.A, pin, and a sweater. Believing that organized and directed play is an important part of living and a preparation for spending leisure time, the girls receive con- siderable enjoyment in participating in sports.

Whenever one sees a fellow on the camp- us wearing a K on his sweater, he knows im- mediately that that person belongs to a distinc- tive organization—the K Club. The monogram means more than membership to a club, how- ever. It represents day after day of rigorous training, bruises, stiff muscles, and hours of duty on the field of battle, fighting for the school. But more than that, the K is a sym- bol of the courage, loyalty, and sportsmanship that is distinctive of Kearney teams. It is a symbol of fair play in defeat as well as in vic- tory. Much of Kearney's reputation can be at- tributed to the coaches who stress clean sports- manship. The club itself was organized by Pop Klein, the sponsor. The biggest and best dance of every year is the K Club dance. Following the grand march of the K Club men and their girls, Mary Runner was presented as Gridiron Queen and Morris Wilmot, the Most Representative Man. Paul Blessing was announced winner of the Best Player Award. The square dance which was staged received considerable applause, but Pop Klein's vocal solos brought on en- core after encore. The K Club banquet, held at the close of the football season in the dining room of Men's Hall proved to be just as suc- cessful. President Cushing, Pop Klein, Mr. Larson, and Morris Wilmot spoke at the dinner. The club assists in sponsoring the strong intramural program. First Row: H. Ptthl. L. Weidman, B.

Who is living the dog's life is not a point to be decided here, but one must admit that the freshman's life is colorful—dis- regarding the bright green caps. Three days of teas, parties, dances, tours, instructions, tests, and registration leaves the bewildered freshman wondering when it will all come to an end. The night after registra- tion, freshmen are said to have nightmares of long, unending lines of students waiting to reg- ister, and after three hours of foot-soreness and mental fatigue, they finally approach the head of the line only to hear in a thundering voice: Education 100, closed!“ Freshmen will remember the days that up- perclassmen patrolled the entrances to the ad- ministration building with paddles to persuade bold dissenters that green caps were quite fashionable. Norris Anderson and Joe Hill were constant offenders. During homecoming week, a box, in which the freshman could put both feet, was required for admittance to the building in the morning and afternoon.

Bud Nicholson, Massachusetts congressional pride. assisted Judge Minnick. Despite the objections and protests of Eugene Morrison, the attorney for defense, rabble- tongued and heartless George Blnger, prose- cuting attorney, obtained convictions of guilty in all cases from a female jury which allowed no clemency. Accused of not wearing green caps, mo- nopolizing dates, and gross insubordination, freshmen were given sentences of swats, solos, and dances, and fines were assessed. Carolyn Butler sang Gcd Bless America and then was obliged to pay for a glass of court cider which she drank in the presence of the court. Plead- ing to the audience for financial aid, Carolyn was showered with pennies. Duane Mattson and Betty Knott were compelled to dance. Pen- alties were also paid by Lois Louthan, Gene Gillespie, Pal O'Neill, Gordon Rector, Bernard Coon, Wayne Smithey, and Jerry Simpson. Breaking past precedents in the outcome of the annual tug of war. freshmen were de- feated for the first time in the college's history, by upperclassmen who, upon having been called the victors, insisted that freshmen must continue wearing their green caps. Freshmen accused upperclassmen of tying their end of the rope to a telephone pole. Nevertheless, the tussle which followed resulted in the swatting of non-cap wearers. A Student Council decision finally dispensed with the further wearing of green caps and the proposed second tug of war. With that over, freshmen became full pledged college students.

Jlo4necowU Uf Pn MxSl i Patedl b, PalU L, tf-un Probably Ihe event that makes everyone feel the college spirit al Kearney is the annual homecom- ing football game. The evening preceding the homecoming parade, a student body oi over 500 formed a snake dance and marched through the Kearney business district halting the traffic. From the balcony of the Fort Kearney Hotel, Pop Klein gave a pep talk after the college pepsters clamored unceasingly: We want 'Pop ! We want Pop! Speeches were also heard from the Chadron play- ers who lauded Ihe Kearney spirit. Returning to the campus for the traditional bon- fire, the aroused students found the boxes blazing for the second time that week, (We'll bet it was a fresh- man with no sense of esthetic values.) But that atro- cious act didn't lessen the enthusiasm for the next day's football game. With the assistance ol the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the homecoming parade which N.S.T.C. held the next afternoon was the largest which Cen- tral Avenue has ever seen. Approximately a quar- ter mile stream of cheering students, floats, bands, National Guardsmen, horses, and army trucks pa- raded from downtown Kearney to the college. Floats were sponsored by Caledonians, Phi Taus, Juanitas, and freshmen. Cals had a horse-drawn buggy. Phi Taus had an antelope decorating the hood of their float, with someone aiming a rifle at the Chad- ron eagle at the top of the float. Juanitas displayed their sorority sisters in their ribbon-decorated float. The Porkess Club added jest to the parade when they carried a large poster board porker. Doc George Ulbrick, homecoming game cap- tain, was presented the 14-inch Pat O'Brien Most Alert Player trophy by Mayor Mattson at the World Theater lor polling the most votes cast at the con- clusion of the game. Each year, the freshmen and new students look forward to the various seasonal activities, and new students as well as old always boost the annual dance of the K Club which comes near the close of the football season. It is then that the Gridiron Queen is crowned and the Most Representative Man named to be her escort during the Queen's Dance. This year, alter Mary Runner had been crowned Queen of the Gridiron, and Morris Wilmot chosen Most Representative Man, the new K Club members and their girl friends entertained the others at the dance with an old-time square dance. West Kearney High contributed novel musical and dancing numbers. The hit of the evening was Pop Klein's crooning without which the K Club dance wouLd be incomplete. Later in the dance, Paul Roscoe presented the KGFW trophy and one hundred dollars worth of gifts from Kearney merchants to Paul Blessing ior being acclaimed the Most Valuable Player on the Kearney football team.

When Sadie Hawkins Day was declared at N.S.T.C., every college girl had a special chance to grab her a man. Many a fellow ducked around a corner when he spied a girl with that go-get-'em gleam in her eyes. It was fortunate for them that there were no Fly- ing McGulps. Several fellows blossomed into beautiful Daisy Maes. By popular applause, Marie Rei- shauge, as a bona fide Daisy Mae, won the girls' prize, and Dale Anderson was lound to possess the qualities which made him the best Lil' Abner. Kenneth Ebright, as Hannibal Gooch, shared honors with Dale Anderson in having the best male costume. Just before Christmas, the administration building was converted into a carnival ground, with concessions in various rooms of the building. Probably the event that attracted the most students was the faculty skit spon- sored by the junior class. Dr. A. E. Burke, with all the dignity of a radio announcer, introduced Dr. DQ (Dumb Questions) alias Donald E, Fox, who asked the quiz questions of the stu- dents and faculty members present in the audi- torium. Those who answered correctly were awarded a box of delicious Kupid’s Krispy Krunchy Kandy. Each nickel's purchase gave the purchaser one vote for the Christmas King and Queen to be crowned at the dance which iollowed the carnival. Breaking through a huge paper star at the dining room of Men's Hall, Marie Rei- shauge was honored again when she was crowned Christmas Queen by Dr, Fox to reign with George Mitchell as Christmas King.

Ten years of drouth and dust in Nebraska has left sons and daughters of the Cornhusker State to find means of employment whereby they may earn money to continue their educa- tion. Students obtain N.Y.A. or state jobs where they do all kinds of work ranging lrom secretarial duties to janitor work. Many ob- tain positions in town working on Saturdays. Others work for their board and room in priv- ate homes. Working their way through col- lege, in addition to attending classes and pre- paring lessons, keeps college students on the run.

Hope you like the pictures. Keep your eyes focused on the white cross, says DR. HAROLD N. MOORE, as he flashes the light in Faithe Adee's eyes. Dr. Moore always gives a thorough examination in order that he can make the proper correction. Although Faithe doesn't need glasses, she thinks that the slogan, To See Well, See Moore, is a good one to follow. Fellows like to buy at HIRSCHFELD'S because they al- ways have the latest clothes at a price that students can pay. The salesman shows Eugene Gummerson, Willard Cushing, and George Barnett some of the new spring sweaters which campus men and women admire. When fellows come to classes wearing the new Roblee shoes they look as dressed-up as the new glass front on the FAMOUS SHOE STORE. Girls know that they do not have to fish for compliments when they wear Air Step Shoes. Faculty members mention that their children like to wear Buster Brown shoes because they are comiortable and good looking. Jerry Miller says that he likes the way the Sunbeam Shavemaster removes the stubble from his chin. Rollie Meader goes on to explain that the Sunbeam is the only razor that will trim his mustache so that one side has exactly the same num- ber of hairs as the other. Art Johnson adds, The Shavemaster is typical of the quality of the products handled by KEARNEY HARDWARE COMPANY. That picture will look fine on my desk, says Clarence Lierley, as he and Patty Cunningham examine the tinted en- largement which Mr. Mattson holds. Students like to have MATTSON'S make their application pictures, because the work is always done exactly as requested, and they know the type of pictures which are most acceptable to school board members. College students remark about the beautiful new front of the FORT THEATRE. When they go inside they also find inviting seats and air conditioned comfort. The Fort always has the latest shows, and the price is low. That is why so many students say, Let's go to the Fort.
