And this year most of all, students have realized the ability of their president. President Cushing has capably fulfilled two high aims as head of this college. He has instilled in fu- ture teachers a worthwhile philosophy of their profession, and he has brought about training for our nation's war effort. Students respect President Cushing for his efficient administration, and for his constant work in improving the college. They like his sincerity and his friendliness. Now they know the benefits of his leadership. President Cushing advises in a sincere and friendly man- ner all questioning students. Page 5 MM Portrayed in this yearbook is our col- lege as it met, along with the rest of the country, our greatest national crisis. It is a candid portrayal of a midwestern institution. Students began the year with their custom- ary activities, registering for their classes, joining their various organizations, engag- ing in their usual fun. From time to time some college man would leave to serve in the armed forces of the country. A few would enlist, but most of the departures were caused by the draft. Then, as the days went drifting by at a slow, easy pace, came the time for December 7. Suddenly college life became a preparation not only for training teachers, but for training men and women to serve their nation at war. Men registered the second semester for math classes for im- mediate future reference. The faculty be- came students in a first aid course. Phys- ical education was emphasized, plans were made by the college war committee to aid the cause common to us all. Students be- gan to realize the value in conservation of human opportunity, and serious prepar ition became the keynote of campus life. The training received at our college began to show itself out in the field—not the teaching field this time, but a field of battle. One re- ceived a medal for gallantry; one who had already served in England and in Egypt, was killed in his line of duty. This was a year when more than ever our unity made us a college, not just a num- ber of students and teachers gathered at the same institution. President Herbert L Cushing tells students the affects of the war on the college. Page 6 IbiiutUostd... • Administration • Classes • Features • Organizations • Athletics Rev.

Based on loyalty, this unified spirit carried the home of the blue and the gold to new heights in realiza- tion of a true college atmosphere.

Plans of the college program underwent changes to meet needs brought about by World War II. Because of such flex- ibility in planning and management of the college, administra- tion remained on high standards. A successful college must have an efficient administration of sound policies. Sometimes students forget the great amount of planning necessary to achieve an expedient management of an educational institution. When they come to school, their classes have all been carefully organized, curriculums have been set up, and a full program of activity has been arranged. President Cushing methodically supervises all such de- tails vital to a healthy educational growth. Under him is the Administration and Education Policies Committee, headed by Dr. H. G. Stout. Other faculty members on the committee are Dr. Bruner, Dr. Fox, Dr. Mantor, Mr. Olsen, Mr. Ryan and Dr. Slrawn. Other committees which attend to planning the college program have such titles as Improvement of College Teaching, Extension and Adult Education, Athletics, Health and Welfare, Student Publications, Public Relations and Guidance. These names alone suggest the immensity of the problem of running a college. The two deans provide a more personal contact with the students as they guide them in college life. Collegians also have their representatives in administra- tion. The Student Council has general supervision over camp- us activities, including such phases as the recreational pro- gram, the yearbook, freshmen orientation and discipline, and the student directory. The Women's and the Men's Councils act more specific- ally, heading the Women's and the Men's Leagues. Each of these two councils tries to fulfill the need of its own group, and as a part of its responsibilities, plans a separate convocation each month for the league it represents. Students are more aware of the duties of the registrar and the bursar at the beginning and end of a semester, as they are starting or completing their classes for that period, and taking care of a few financial matters. Such a complete organization of the administration of the Nebraska State Teacher's College at Kearney insures an ef- ficient program for all students.

Taylor State Superintendent of Public Instruction Lincoln, Nebraska That group v hich initiates and controls the fundamental policies of the college is the State Normal Board. Few college students can realize the enormous amount of plan- ning and effort which this board expends for the four state teachers colleges of Nebraska. Not only do they control our college, but also the other state teachers colleges in Ne- braska. The board's routine duties include the selection of the heads, presidents, of the four colleges; approving the selection of instruc- tors; passing on institutional budgets; and appearing before legislative committees concerning requests for appropriations and other legislation for Nebraska's teachers col- leges. Members receive no pay for their ser- vices, except traveling expenses. Every two years the governor appoints two new members, subject to the confirmation of the unicameral legislature. Hence at no one time is the group made up entirely of inex- perienced members. Each appointment is designed to last six years and a member cannot be expelled for political reasons. This method of appointment provides for continuity of purpose and superior execution of progressive ideals. This year the board made two impor- tant resolutions in order to adapt state teach- ers college programs to cope with the na- tional emergency. They first passed a res- olution allowed leaves of absence for in- structors entering the military service. When the board met in Kearney in November they added a resolution authorizing the granting degrees, with full credit, to seniors who had partially completed the final semester's work and were inducted into military service. Page 16 ubeattA. Ruth Kelly W. L. Nicholas A new dean of women greeted women students of NSTC this year. Besides taking over the numerous duties of the dean, in the absence of Miss Robinson, Miss Kelly continued her teaching in the English de- partment. By virtue of her classroom ex- perience, her adaptation to student problems was most adequate. Students could find their problems solved by a person who un- derstood the causes and future of immediate results of their misfortunes. Through her own education she has lived in many wide- ranged student atmospheres, which adds still more to her capabilities as a counsellor of students. Students feel confident in carry- ing out her decisions because her frank, sin- cere opinions are planned to be directly beneficial to them. Last fall a new face also met the regis- tration-weary college men as they wormed through lines scheduling classes. A new signature appeared on the line beside Dean of Men on their registration cards. This signature represented a former student of this college—a man who already knew problems confronting students of the State Teachers College in Kearney. Besides his office duties, Mr. Nicholas took time to be a friend and counsellor of students who came to him with varied problems. The men liked him and his advice. They found their dean had new ideas that were workable, and they accepted him as a person who had the in- terest of the students at heart. Men appre- ciated the advice the dean gave as Kear- ney's director of the navy's V-l, the army air corps cadet, and other military programs.

Several asserted that these campus political bosses were giving the other social groups, the barbs, and especial- ly the women, the run-around. However, the majority of students usually found that their student representatives were doing all within their power to aid all students. The thought uppermost in the mind of the coun- cil members was to keep their group repre- senting student interests and independent of faculty action, although heeding advice of the faculty members on the council, Dr. Morse and Mr. Pate. For the most part this year the group went about its regular routine duties. Fresh- men orientation occupied the council's ac- tivity during the beginning of the first semes- ter. Green cap sales, securing boxes for the rally bonfire, taking care of the annual tug of war between the freshmen and the upper- classmen, and maintaining general discip- line comprised these duties. Later on the handbook and directory, edited by Mel Orth, was published. At various meetings such problems as smoking on the campus would come to the student governing body, to be handled expediently by the group. After Kearney had won the conference football championship, the council ordained a day of mirth, when students ignored their class schedules, and took part in par- ties and dances honoring the team. This year the student administrators were unable to secure the college gym for the dances, and as a result the all-school functions were held in the cafeteria. Ex- penses were thereby increased, and this to- gether with the smaller attendance, made budget balancing very difficult. During the year's activities, the council has also cut down on N. Y. A. and state help expense, although not entirely by its own decision. Members helped take tickets at football and basketball games, managed the dances, ran a checkstand at the scholas- tic contest, and sent out college defense bul- letins. Page 18 In October, Jim Ranz, president, and Bob Chesnut attended the regional confer- ence of the National Student Federation of America at Lincoln. At this convention, Kearney was selected as the site for next year's convention, and Bob Chesnut was elected regional chairman. Returning from the convention Ranz commented, Our council compared favor- ably with others represented there. We have more actual power with regard to stu- dent affairs than probably any other coun- cil at the convention. Jim Ranz, Bob Chesnut, Marie Ref- shauge, and Dr. Mary Morse, sponsor, at- tended the national conference of the NSFA in Minneapolis over the Christmas holidays. Here the representatives realized that our council has much power, but others have more in the actual administration of student affairs. The governing organization worked for some time on a new election system to in- sure more adequate representation on the council, and students adopted the council- proposed plan of proportional representa- tion by an overwhelming majority. The re- sults of the annual spring election were sub- stantially the same as previous years, how- ever, as five Phi Taus, two Sigmas, two Juanitas, one Zeta, one Cal and one barb were elected. The council selected Virginia Henline, Melvin Orth and Ralph Nelson to serve on the campus war committee, and this com- mittee organized various activities to aid the war effort. Student Council meetings were held each Wednesday in the YWCA room, and usually the discussion was spirited. The re- sponsibility of governing student affairs was spotlighted on this single body, and as there could be little buck-passing, most of the members took an active interest in the is- sues, realizing that their position was one of responsibility to the students, not just an honorary title. The general tone of discus- sion and action was conservative, as sev- eral members had a tendency to be passive conformists. Panel discussion on what college students can do to help win the war is presented at convo by the council. Speakers arc Mr. Welch, Jim Ran . Bert Gibbons, Virginia Hcnlinc, Marie Refshauge and Mr. Larson. Student government worries arc forgotten, as mem- bers and guests have a dinner party. Officers Mel Orth, Jim Ran , and the council sec- retary, Marie Refshauge, outline plans. Page 19 College women are offered friendship, guidance, and entertainment at league meetings which this year have included programs on books, styles, manners, de- fense, music, mothers and religion. All of the meetings were coordinated with the theme, The Girls They Left Behind;'' their aim, to increase the intelligence, maturity and usefulness of those remaining. The women's council gave special at- tention to the incoming freshmen girls at a reception in Case Hall lounge which allevi- ated timerity, homesickness, and other typ- ical symptoms of new students. Women's League activities are gov- erned by a council of fourteen representing classes and residents under the supervision of Miss Ruth Kelly, acting Dean of Women. This group organizes the programs, grants loans, and discusses desired campus be- havior and customs at informal meetings. The January meeting emphasized es- pecially the war theme, as Mrs. H. M. Wor- lock was the principal speaker. Mrs. Alta Bergquist, Juanita Jillson, and Dorothy Campbell also spoke using topics of edu- cation, democracy and the present national emergency. Attendance was made compulsory for the second semester meetings as the coun- cil worked on a program for greater unity in their aims. Helen Claire Disbrow served as presi- dent the first semester, and Charlene Han- sen led the council the second semester. Despite changes in this group through- out the year, the girls they left behind are doing what they can in war-time to make life happier for those at home and at camp. lUe Qisuli Jl jjt feelUnA First Row: Miss Kelly, V.

Male enrollment decreased this year with the army and defense jobs increasing in national significance, but the role of the Men's Council on the campus became more important as the council tried to help college men in their adjustments to the war. After the attack on Pearl Harbor and the entrance of the United States into the war, the morale of the men slumped to a low ebb, as those students saw their preparation for a future of peace was to be of no immediate advantage to them. Realizing an immediate need, the coun- cil arranged a progarm concerned with the war and directly with morale, with Dean W. L. Nicholas analyzing the proper stand for the men to take. As they saw their situation clarified, knowing that there is a more im- mediate duty to fulfill in order that their preparation for peace need not be wasted, the men stepped back more energetically into their college life of study, classes and training. Men were interested in the armed ser- vices of the country, but they did not know of the opportunities available to them, so the council arranged a program particularly to meet that need. Ensign Townley of the Navy Recruiting Station at Omaha, and Ma- jor Davis from headquarters, Seventh Corps Area, explained the background of the navy and the army, and pointed out those places where college-trained men could best serve. They also emphasized the advisability of getting all of the college training possible before becoming a member of the armed forces. As a result of this meeting and of the individual conference following, NSTC men were much better informed of their future participation in the war, and were able to make better use of their college training. The members of the group represent the men in their class organizations, religious groups, and in-town and out-of-town resi- dents. The council itself felt the war directly, as Max Ingram, vice president, was drafted late in the first semester, and James Lapp, treasurer, left school early in the year for a defense job. This spring the traditional Men's League picnic was held at Harmon Park, and sup- plying all with food and entertainment, the Men's Council felt their duties for the year completed. Officers of the organization were Ralph Nelson, president; Wayne Smithey, vice president; Lloyd McCullough, secretary; and Gerald Gruber, treasurer. Page 21 The college faculty proved to the stu- dents this year that they are still anxious to learn, as upperclassmen were given the op- portunity to criticize them in any way that they saw fit. Students came right back at their teachers as some literally wrote a book, some of praise and some of criticism, com- menting on their reasons for like or dislike of faculty techniques and mannerisms. If one could be singled out as the in- structor highest in the estimation of students, that one would probably be Mr. Durfee Lar- son. His class methods are the most tech- nical and methodical, his tests and testing program are among the most difficult, and class attendance is not compulsory. The re- sult of this system is near-perfect attendance of students. Another result is that apple- Louise Adams, A. B., A. M., Education Alta Bergquist, R. N., College Nurse Ethel M. Boasen, B. E., A.

M., Home Economics polishing students generally stay away from his courses, for their efforts are useless there. Other's who appreciate Mr. Larson's presence are the residents of Men's Hall. Mr. Larson abolished a system of monitors, but despite this, the number of discipline problems were reduced, as the hall became a dorm of genuinely friendly atmosphere, and men were fun loving and hard working students. The duties of faculty members extend far beyond classroom routine, as anyone could observe by glancing over the head- lines in the Antelope.

Most of the faculty serve as sponsors for the organizations of the college, and stu- dents appreciate this closer contact with them. Several are forced to be martyrs, as the faculty has a team in the intramural league. Observers of faculty touch football games have said those intramural battles closely resembled the Kearney-Peru game, but not one instructor was carried off the field. Students demanded better convocation programs, and the faculty helped to fill this need, many of them participating in the con- vos. Dr. Mantor's analysis and review of the war news was interesting and informa- tive, helping collegians to obtain an intelli- gent perspective of World War II. Pop Klein's song leading and solos brightened up several otherwise dull programs. Dr. Morse and Dr. Fox helped arrange an un- usual science program. This year, as ever, several faculty mem- bers were signally honored by winning coveted positions on their own football team. Undoubtedly very happy over the selections, they took advantage of the awards by pre- senting a fast-moving, bruising football skit at the YM-YW Christmas Carnival, donating the gate receipts to the financially-embar- rassed junior class.

Pou Page 24 Faculty members became students this year with most of them enrolling for first aid courses as a part of the college's contribu- tion to the national war effort. Many long nights were spent in learning the intricacies of bandaging and the other details of the course. Perhaps the most interesting story of the faculty participation in this course of study concerns a student who had cut his finger and reported to a group of women faculty members for treatment. They all gathered around their new-found patient, and after several minutes of deliberation and consultation of the small wound, one re- marked it looks like a case for a doctor. The injured one left the treatment to another student, and in spite of his decision to do so, is still alive and well. The faculty directly felt the consequenc- es of war too when Mr. Robert Thrall of the industrial education department left to be- come an instructor in the air corps at Cha- nute Field. It has become customary for a sleeping math student to be suddenly awakened by Miss Hanthorn's staccato be alert, man!, for the men to change from ordinary attire to wear neatly pressed suits, white shirts and a tie for a favorable impression in busi- ness etiquette class, for English majors to become Ryanized. It has also become customary for stu- dents to appreciate the faculty's friendly in- formality, their willingness to actively spon- sor student organizations, their interest in students' work.

And when these compo- nents of such an institution work together in the fulfillment of a better-rounded camp- us life, the result is a college, a college which will advertise itself as proud students tell of their friendly campus, their friendly faculty. With these aims in mind, the faculty of the Nebraska State Teachers College in Kear- ney furthers educational pursuits and well integrated personalities. Dr. C. B. Alla Bcrgquist, Erma Hill.

Page 53 Campus features provide the miscellaneous in the catalog- ing of the several phases of college life. In this group of ac- tivities are those many extras which make a collegian's life unique—his play, his odd forms of amusement, probably even his antics. As this was a war year, students probably tried a little harder for entertainment. This, wasn't true so much because of the government call for entertainment, but because the stu- dents needed it, for after a trying day in school, fitting their attitudes to the various classroom moods and ideas, relaxation became a necessity. This year students realized the conser- vation in human opportunity, and strived more for actual good in their studies. Consequently, recreation was a much desired part of a school week to make collegian's concentration on classwork that much more worthwhile. All of this is difficult for a new student to understand. He has heard of college as a place where everyone is constantly on the lookout for a good time. The newcomer has concep- tions of campus activity that involves the student body march- ing around singing old favorite songs— rah-rah boys and choo-choo girls. In short, his conception is rather romantic. Actually, college life is much more realistic than that. Sincerity, although failing somewhat in the classroom and in the ordinary organization, is back of most of the feature ac- tivity. With such a need for recreation and relaxation, it is not odd that expressions of the fulfillment of the need came in many ways. During the seasons, hunting and fishing were favorite pastimes. Dances were a common form, but its types were not so common for the college student. Sophomores tried a barn dance, and the B G staff took up a chorus girl act. The juke box supplied the music for most dances, as a result of war-time finances. Several men felt an urge to paint, and there was only one thing to do. They painted. The locale was a neighboring campus, but the urge was fulfilled. Others were happy just to serenade the women's dorms on the way to Men's Hall. It was a year of fun, and fun that was basically harmless. After appearing as a guest soloist with the college symphony orchestra, Louise Mcirncr receives congratulation from Beth Polhemus, concertinittress. and Mr. Corny, conductor. President Cushing smiles for his audi- ence at an AAUP dinner in the faculty dining room. A sales talk by furloughing George Binger is provided for entertainment at the K Club dance. George Ulbrick, K Club proxy, gives flowers to the gridiron royalty. Juanita Jill son and Paul Blessing. Solemn studenti listen to President Roosevelt � war message, Monday morning, December 8.

The first con- tingent left college when the national guard companies were called for further training in 1940. From month to month former Kearney students, together with enrolled collegians, became members of the armed forces of the United States. Larry Gardner, former Kearney stu- dent and Phi Tau vice president in 1936, saw action in General Douglas Mac- Arthur's bomber command in the Philip- pines, and for gallantry in this part of the world combat was awarded the silver star. Lieutenant Donald W. Johnson First NSTC man to die in the service of his country. ★ Lieutenant Donald W. Johnson, known on the campus as Big Don,” was killed in a plane crash near the Davis-Monthan Field, Tuscon, Arizona. Known as the nation's youngest pilot of four-en- gine planes, Lt. Johnson was instructor at the Davis-Monthan Field and his death was the first among former NSTCers. Before the United States declared war, Don had ferried bombers to England and had spent several months teaching members of the RAF to fly flying fortresses. Don also had served in Egypt on an air corps mission. While in school here, Johnson was a member of the Phi Tau Gamma fraternity. Pi Omega Pi, Tironian Club, K Club, the Inter-Fraternity-Soror- ity Council, and participated in football, basket- ball and track. He left school in December, 1939, to join the air corps. Men still enrolled in college were anxious to serve their country to the great- est degree possible, and several made possible the extension of their college training by joining the army, navy and marine reserves. All are determined that the opportunities offered them shall be preserved for future generations. Students began to realize the full sig- nificance of this war, the importance of a victory by the United States, and the pos- sibility that their country might suffer de- feat if all do not wholeheartedly partici- pate in the war effort. With this in mind, they have interpreted into their actions the thought expressed by President Roose- velt in his war message, We will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us God.” Page 58 Second Lieutenant Janie L. Friuche, U. S. M. C. R. Second Lieutenant Elmer McKinney, U. S. Army.

Page 63 ACTIVITIES ADD SPK This was a war year, and there is a tendency during such a time to act much differently from the normal manner. President Cushing urged students to car- ry on their normal program as an aid to the college part in national defense, and they did just that. The result was that as far as possible college life remained on an even keel, up to the point where the war and its consequences caused curtail- ment. College life becomes important in the life of a student when he enters all phases of campus activity, when he realizes that college is life itself, not just hitting the books. The activities are such that the freshman can take part in them without a feeling of timidity, and the senior can for- MIKE SHADA .po.k, ,hc foo.b.H b.m,uc. „iv,„ by .ho Co.- «®( hiS di9ni,y a d keep hiS Self-reSpeCt. mopolitan Club, after being chosen as Most Valuable Football Player.

A minute later all of those green caps were thrown skyward. Students snake-dance around the band en route to a downtown rally. Playing the newly adopted but old college song, the band, led by WALTEI DAVIS, shows a winning way to support a winning team. 0 COLLEGE LIFE.... The first essential in the campus orientation is to introduce the fresh- men to the college and its activities, and then to teach those frosh to re- alize their position as beginners. Here the student council first steps into the picture. The school govern- ing body is in charge of the sale of the green caps, the freshmen collec- tion of boxes for a rally bonfire, and general discipline of the campus newcomers. On the side, other stu- dents sell convocation tickets, au- thentic registration numbers, and other items which only freshmen would buy. It' follow the leader, a EARL GODFREY lead the conga line at the K Club dance. Initiation time, and newly elected members of the Acad- emy of Math and Science take their hazing blindfolded. During the first week of orientation, freshmen and upperclassmen met at three teas, one marshmallow sing, one dance, and one reception. More informal meetings were in order too, as the usual command was to pick a daisy. Upperclassmen had to neglect the fresh- men somewhat as the weeks rolled by, for there was the matter of attending a few classes, resuming or taking membership in various organizations, and planning the strategy for the several elections. Marge Hollingsworth had been named previously for senior class president, but rivalry was keen for the leadership in the junior and soph more classes. As the Cals were suc- cessful in their backing of Wayne Smithey for sophomore prexy, the Phi Taus made a clean sweep of the junior offices. Social or- ganizations then turned to the plans for rush- ing, and the fraternities found the smaller enrollment of men a handicap. Campus spirit and pep was plentiful this year, and probably doubled that of other years as students found it popular and bene- ficial to be loyal to their college. Collegians saw a need for a new school song, the old march tune was sent back home to the school where it originated, and a song which had its beginning at this college was offi- cially adopted.

Quizmaster WAYNE SMITHEY ques- tions JOYCE ANDERSON at a freshmen- sophomore party. Several members of the ignoble four- teen. the rascals who painted sidewalks on a neighboring college campus before a cer- tain football game, are making a getaway. JACK SWANSON did not make a suc- cessful escape, and was a martyr for the rest of the group. The leader in the pickup of NSTC spirit was the band, as it led cheering crowds of students snake-dancing downtown, and kept enthusiasm at a high pitch during the cham- pionship season. As inevitable as death and taxes is the kangaroo court. When this merciless court is in session, freshmen can expect no leni- ency for their insubordination. This year fifteen offenders of a freshmen code of con- duct set by upperclassmen were tried, and all were found guilty by Judge Ralph Nel- son. Particularly noteworthy was the out- standing job of prosecution done by heck- ling Neil Holm, as he was able to bring each case to a successful conclusion. Hon- est George Ulbrick made a valiant effort to defend his green-capped defendants, but it was possible that the jury, composed of up- perclassmen, was somewhat prejudiced. J. Wellington Doher had attempted to per- suade freshmen to remove their green caps in a previous canvo, and he paid a heavy penalty of several swats administered by hard-swinging Charles Wilson. Bob Spelts had kept a huge scrapbook of his exploits, and for this offense had to shift his two hun- dred fifty pounds around in an awkward tap dance. Late one fall night, fourteen unidentified residents of Men's Hall planned a raid pat- terned after the famous Commandos. That same night they attacked a neighboring col- lege campus, armed only with paint and brushes. Cutting through a providential fog they stealthily began their program of at- tack, consisting of crudely painted but well worded signs. Suddenly a host of rivals swarmed down on them, but all of the Kear- ney Commandos made a successful escape except Jack Swanson, who served as a mar- tyr for the more fortunate thirteen others. A writer who preferred to remain anonymous suggested in The Antelope that the Student Page 66 DEAN MARSHALL. Cal president, selects the next number at the Huddle.

Students hold rallies for the football team, cheering their powerful team to a conference championship. Council prepare a list of those who partici- pated in the excursion. However, two coun- cil members were active participants in the raid, so the matter was never brought up in council meetings. Three members of the B and G staff went along on the visit to the nearby campus to cover the event complete- ly for the yearbook. Six days of box carrying, sounding off, and swing sessions featured the pre- liminaries to the annual homecoming game. The night before the game students ignored rain to snake-dance downtown behind the band, and returned to the campus to round out the rally at the giant bonfire. Freshmen won the annual tug of war between halves of the game, and green caps immediately disappeared. declared a day of mirth and merriment and students ignored their classes on Vic- tory Day to take part in the tribute for their team. Activities began early in the morning with a parade of honking cars and cheering students from the college to Central Avenue, and after a full program, both planned and impromptu celebrations, ended with a juke box dance at Men's Hall. Two top events filled the social calen- dar during December. K Club members se- lected Juanita Jillson as Gridiron Queen and Paul Blessing as Most Representative Man, the choices being revealed at the K Club dance. At the YM-YWCA carnival, Charles Wilson and Peggy Nicholas were named Christmas King and Queen in the annual coronation ceremony. Kearney won the N. I. A. A. football championship and the position as the top college football team in the state, and cele- bration was in order. The Student Council Convocation attendance commanded the attention of all of the students, as rum- ors began to be heard about a renewal of compulsory attendance. The Student Coun- Page 67 cil voted on a motion that the council go on record against compulsory convos, but urge students to attend the programs,” and the motion was defeated with five for it and six opposed. The following Friday President Cushing announced that convocation atten- dance would be compulsory for the dura- tion. Students for the most part didn't object very strenuously to the idea, except they be- came bored every time a convo speaker would remark how glad he was to see such a large group of collegians present. In February, students shifted their in- terest to political issues. The Student Coun- cil had proposed a system of proportional representation, and the system was adopted almost unanimously. Then in March came the election itself. Everything, politically speaking, was pro- ceeding according to form, and as rivalry was very strong between the two fraternities on the campus, interest was high. Then the eve of election day, emotionalism gained control. Political signs of fraternities were smeared or torn down, water literally was thrown, and mud figuratively was slung. Campus women banded together behind a feminine candidate because the men had given them a political run-around” and be- cause the feminine vote would be a ma- jority. With this impetus and a resultant blitzkrieg campaign, their newly found can- didate Marie Refshauge was elected Student Council president.

Storybook characters come to life at the Aspasians party, and MISS LUD- DEN, sponsor, happily surveys the vari- ous costumes. All college dances were handicapped because the renovated gym floor was avail- able for most of the year only to the phys ed program. The college cafeteria then be- came the scene of the dances, but it did not meet popular approval. Student governing officials tried every means to keep the dances on a self-paying basis, and gener- ally managed to hold the loss at each func- tion down to a few dollars. To avoid this loss, juke box dances were planned to fill recreation needs, but dance accounts re- mained in the red. In the spring the young men's and wom- en's fancies turned to picking flowers, the yellow variety, when classes were suspend- ed for Dandelion Day. Faculty members and students alike got down on their knees in an effort to achieve successful eradica- tion of the thousands of weeds on the camp- us lawn. Also in the spring was the ''Oscar Din- ner, (any resemblance to the Hollywood dinner of the same name was entirely coin- cidental) as student choices for unique, if not honorable, attainments were made pub- lic. Toastmistress Virginia Henline revealed that Willa Scudder was the ideal model; Betty Horner, the best girl dancer; Marjorie Hollingsworth, the ideal companion for the college man on a lonely island; and Ralph Nolson was the campus brain trust. Adel- bert Bonner was selected as the individual who contributed the most to symphony re- hearsals, and Dr. Lyle Mantor was named as the faculty member who gave students the best reason for not skipping classes. Former NSTC students received their share of publicity too, as Lt. Jim Fritchie received the title of the most handsome Kearney man Page 69 Case Hall girls have a Valentine party. Everyone is busy eating at a Lutheran Club breakfast in the faculty room at the college cafeteria. The theme of Victory is featured at a Green Terrace dinner. Books are in evidence, and EILEEN ENGBERG and JIM HARD- ING study, but CHARLENE HANSEN and JOE HILL must have their lessons already prepared. now in the service, and Pvt. Bob Minnick led the voting for the ideal K. P. Throughout the year, the library was the most popular place between seven and nine in the evening. Students knew of its excel- lent facilities for study, for it houses more than thirty-five thousand volumes, but the library served a dual purpose. In addition to being a center for concentration on les- sons, it was a favorable student union. Here collegians could meet their friends, and talk over much lighter issues than study prob- lems. But about every fifteen minutes, Dor- othy Campbell, library assistant, would look up from her books to try to remind conver- sationalists of the original purpose of the library. Late spring found almost spent political energies used to select organization leaders for a new year. With their number becom- ing an even more definite minority, men found that their only sure offices were in the fraternities, and other organizations for men only. Women, realizing their in- creasing importance on the campus, plan- ned to help the men in the armed services by organizing magazine and letter groups to improve morale of those soldiers, sailors and marines. Curtailment of usual activities because of the war hit the music groups hardest. Tire rationing went into effect, and as a conse- quence, the spring trips usually taken by the symphony and the choir were given up. College authorities arranged a series of outstanding programs designed to fit in with the cultural needs of students. Miss Louise Meiszner, brilliant young pianist, delighted Page 70 music lovers when she played Tschaikow- sky's Concerto in B Flat Minor, accom- panied by the college symphony. Miss Elis- sa Landi, playwright, novelist and lecturer, presented thumb nail sketches, solo dramas written by Miss Landi. Later in the year, NSTC lyceum goers heard Father Francis X. Talbot, one of the outstanding Catholic leaders in the United States. Be- fore giving his talk in the college auditor- ium, Father Talbot, editor of the national Catholic weekly, was guest of the college Catholic Club at a dinner. The first week of March was set aside as Religious Emphasis week for the Kearney campus with the Reverend L. B. Moseley, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Madison, Wisconsin, as guest speaker at convo, teas, dinners, and dorm meetings. Miss Carroll Glenn, concert violinist, appeared with the college symphony in their spring concert. Accompanied by the orchestra, she played the Concerto in D Major, by Peter Tschaikowsky. Miss Glenn also played a solo group on the program.

Page 72 Qti ufil Promote Activity, ZcIm have an early breakfast in the college cafeteria. Student scientists arrange a novel convo program. Josephine Ducring is named the Home Economic Club Sweetheart by Hazel Mundorff, club president. Honoraries, departmental club, social groups, religious organizations—all groups arranged many variations in their programs to make membership more interesting. The most popular single idea for a meeting seemed to be food. At some time during the year each group found an opportun- ity for a dinner, and most students felt that this was the high- light of the 1941-42 activities. Most groups also made neophytes undergo certain pun- ishments to fulfill requirements of active membership. Xi Phi pledges, regardless of the manner in which they had se- cured past high grades, were made to do some apple-polish- ing, literally speaking. Beta Pi Theta pledges wrote and memorized French poems. Some clubs took time to elect a king or queen from their own group. Others arranged activities that would involve the entire school. The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. spon- sored an all-school Christmas Carnival, the K Club held its annual fall dance for all students, and science students pre- sented a convocation program. Pi Kappa Delta and the K Ciub promoted contests in- volving high school students from all over the state as a part of their year's activity. All of these activities indicate the busy life which, an organization member must live upon assuming the responsi- bilities of membership. To the extent that the student par- ticipates, he matures socially, he gains a well-integrated per- sonality, and improves the value of his organization. Page 76 Xi Plu fyo tenA, Xi Phi members were serious this year as they cut out informal meetings and concentrated on the revision of the constitution. Constitutions and the Xi Phi News Letter were published late this spring. Eugene Morrison headed the contsitution committee and Barbara Hinterlong edited the News Letter. Membership in Xi Phi is limited to twenty-four and eligibility is granted to the junior or senior who has a ''B'' average. Grades must be accompanied by evidence of participation in school life as Xi Phi membership indicates activity in school organiza- otins. A complicated rating sheet is used by the organization when new Xi Phis are considered. Each year Xi Phi awards scholarships to the outstanding boy and girl in the sophomore class. The awards are made at Honors Convocation and last year went to Marie Refshauge and Ralph Nel- son. Two dinners are given each year. The Christ- mas dinner has many traditions and this year was held at Men's Hall with Hazel Mundorff, Arthur Kennedy, Florence Williams and Dr. H. G. Stout speaking. Lois Huffstutter headed the dinner com- mittee for the spring formal which was held in May. Xi Phi is an organization for the ''all-around'' student. It is an honorary organization which en- courages leadership. Pledges wear gold and black ribbons, the colors of the fraternity. Miss Hanthorn and Dr. Stout were sponsors and Florence Williams was president this year. Charlene Hansen was vice president; Betty Kreider, recording secretary; Margaret Vosburg, treasurer; Hazel Mun- dorff, investigating secretary; and Mildred Foreman, corresponding secretary. Barbara Hinterlong was elected at the March meeting to be president of the Xi Phi fraternity next year. First Row: Mi� Hanthorn, Dr. Stout. B. Hintctlong. Second Row: D. Campbell, E. Engberg, M.

The Epsilon chapter of Lambda Delta Lambda, national honorary physical fra- ternity, for several years inactive on this campus, was reorganized in June of 1941 when Dr. Mary L. Morse and nine students were initiated at the national convention, held at Wayne State Teachers College. The members of the fraternity, as a part of their physical science program, went to Grand Island to inspect the sugar refinery. In April, Dr. Nicholas Dietz spoke on the topic Heavy Hydrogen at the annual spring banquet. At the May meeting, every- one enjoyed a picnic at Lake Kearney, with the usual ride in Dr. Fox's motorboat. The Nu Chapter of Pi Omega Pi, na- tional honorary commercial fraternity, can truly be described as exclusive, because of the high scholastic requirements of the organization. High points of the year were the formal initiation dinners early in each semester, the representation at the national conven- tion. the spring picnic, and Ihe publication of the Nu News.

Members of Sigma Tau Delta are Eng- lish majors and minors who have satisfied the scholarship requirements of the fratern- ity, and have completed twelve hours of English. Members are elected by a unan- imous vote of the actives. Sincerity, Truth and Design is the motto of the Sigma Tau Delta organization and its purpose is to promote interest in the read- ing and writing of good literature. Publication of The Antler, a literary magazine of campus writers, is the principal project. Arthur Kennedy was editor of The Antler and Bob Meline was business man- ager. The Xi Beta chapter sponsors the fresh- man essay contest and awards the Sigma Tau Delta medal to the freshman who writes the best essay. Mr. Ryan traditional- ly awards the second place writer with a medal. Winning essays are published in The Antler and awards are made at Honors Convocation. Mary Rose Lantz won the contest and Ruth Bachman received the C. T. Ryan medal. Ruth Beaver, Fcrrest Wood- man and Jack Hart were finalists in the con- test which is open to all first year students. Freshmen read their essays at the March meeting at the home of Doris Eck. Members usually read original essays, poems, stories and sketches at the monthly Sigma Tau Delta meetings. Each year a formal Christmas dinner is held. The group met at the Elliott Motor Lodge this year with John Sohus as toast- master and Dorothy Campbell, Arthur Ken- nedy and Mr. Ryan as speakers. Zelda Jeanne Ryan danced for the group. Climaxing the year's activities, Mr. and Mrs. Ryan and Zelda Jeanne entertain the Sigma Tau Delta members at a Spoon Bread breakfast. The national headquarters are located at Wayne, Nebraska. The Rectangle, the national publication, is edited there. Florence Williams was president this year, and Charlene Hansen was vice presi- dent. Dorothy Campbell and Arthur Ken- nedy were secretary and treasurer respec- tively.

Afflicted with something closely akin to championshipitis, the Kearney chap- ter of Pi Kappa Delta observed in 1942 a most successful year of local forensic ac- tivity, while compiling what is believed one of the best speech records of any school in the nation. With a squad of excellent speakers who enthusiastically supplemented their ability with hour upon hour of study, Pi Kap” accomplished many forensic achieve- ments. Charlene Hansen and Virginia Hen- line gained recognition as the country's outstanding women's debate team, going through the national Pi Kappa Delta tournament at Minneapolis with the sole undefeated record, and meriting a superior rating. This team also won over teams from eight states to bring home the championship trophy from the Midwest debate tournament at Norman, Oklahoma. Their percentage for the year of debate neared a perfect rat- ing, with twenty-five victories, against only three defeats. The men's A team, Bernard Trott and Eugene Morrison, scored an excellent rank- ing in the nationals, after having previously registered five wins, one loss in the Nebras- ka University tournament. The Kearney chapter gave the nation's top performance in annexing to other laurels the mythical squad championship at the na- tional tourney, the women winning eight for eight, the men six of eight rounds of debate. Virginia Henline also was accorded the highest rating in the national extempor- aneous speaking contest. In addition to attending tournaments and winning trophies, the squad had a full season of activities on the campus. Pi Kap- pa Delta sponsored the annual intramural debate tourney, and also held two invitation- al high school tournaments with entrants from top-ranking debate squads in the state.

In September, the freshmen girls were welcomed to the college at a tea based on a patriotic motif. Later in the month Miss Gladys Wyckoff, Field Secretary of the American Home Economics Association, spoke to the group. Following her talk on Opportunities Open to Home Economics Trained Women, a reception and victory tea were held. In the traditional candlelight service, the new members were initiated into the or- ganization, followed by a dessert luncheon. At the November meeting, the members be- gan a knitting project, Squares for Britain. They also went to the courthouse to have Miss Louise Epp, County Home Demonstra- tion Agent, talk to them concerning Christ- mas gift selection and construction. The Christmas party featured the sing- ing of Christmas carols and each member told of her best Christmas. Baskets were filled with foods and toys for the Salvation Army. With a pot luck supper in January, plans were formulated for the banquet to be held in February. This year the banquet had the valentine theme in evidence, in decora- tions and toasts. The highlight of the eve- ning was the presentation of the Home Eco- nomics Club Sweetheart, Josephine Duering, by the club president, Hazel Mundorff. The club sweetheart was chosen by the organ- ization and presented a silver Victory Pin. The March meeting was planned to hon- or the senior members, by a novel introduc- otin and presentation of mock diplomas. The Knitted Squares were collected, and fac- ulty members who had helped with the knitting were guests of the club. Several club members attended the convention of the Nebraska Home Economics association at Omaha, March 27-28. Alice Jeanne Dun- lavy was elected as president of the College Students club of the association, and Bar- bara Hinterlong was the newly-elected vice president. In April, Miss Florence Atwood, presi- dent-elect of the state group, was the guest speaker, after a five o'clock tea. The year's activity closed with a farewell picnic at Harmon Park.

With this French parliamentary procedure, Presi- dent Mildred Foreman opens a meeting of the national honorary French fraternity, Beta Pi Theta. Soon the members hear, Noun ecouterons la lecture du proces-verbal de la derniere seance, and the secretary, Ruth Rickel, dutifully reads the minutes of the previous meeting. The climax of the year of Beta Pi Theta activity is the annual formal Spring banquet, when all members are presented with the publication of the national organization, Les Nouvelles, and a French paper pub- lished by the local chapter of the fraternity. With the French language, Beta Pi Theta members are much better able to under- stand the language and people of France. Beginning French students who were members of Le Cercle Francais found that learning French could be fun. Meetings, which were held once a month, were con- ducted by three officers, Dean Nicholson, president; Bettelee Frahm, vice president; and Ruth Beaver, secrGtary-treasurer. Meet- ings began with a short business session, and members then played games and sang songs in French. Everyone remembers the time they had at the home of the sponsor, Miss Hosic. The last meeting was held around a camp fire at Lake Kearney. While roasting wieners and marshmallows, members played games and sang French ballads such as Frere Jacques and Aiouette. With the year of activity, beginners in French realized the value of the language. First Row: Miss Hosic, R. Beaver, M. Bryncr, B. Frahm, J. Hart, M. Kicnlcn. Second Row: B. Kreidcr, P. Lowe, D.

Members of Der Deutsche Verein again featured their program at the annual Christ- mas festival with the old German songs as played by the German Club band. The high spot in the entertainment was the folk dance by Margreta Schlueter and Lloyd Baysdor- fer, and many carnival goers took in this program. The club is organized for enjoyable study of the German language and true German culture. Officers for the year were Margreta Schlueter, president; Lloyd Bays- dorfer, vice president; Bill Harrison, treas- urer. The club sponsor is Miss Istas. Under the editorship of Phyllis Behrens, a German Club paper was printed and distributed to all members of the group. Sodalitas Latina was reorganized this year under the guidance of a new sponsor, Dr. Martha Lois Smith. Latin students met the second Monday of every month, and on several occasions enjoyed the proverbial southern hospitality of Dr. Smith's home. The third week of April, designated by the National Classical Association as Latin week, climaxed the social activities of the club. During that week a special radio program emphasizing Latin customs and tra- ditions, and stressing the importance of Latin in modern living was planned and carried out. The highlight of the year was the do as the Romans don't” picnic held at Cotton- mill Lake. SadalitaA Jlaiina Fir� t Row: Dr. Smith, K. At- wood. B. Dunn, C. Hamm, M. Hampton. Second Row: E.

Members also found the room a good place to study, to use their own library, or just to rest between classes. Sponsored by Father Tschida and Mr. Cerny, the group was headed by Mar- garet Vosburg. Having Father Francis X. Talbot as guest was the big event of the year for the club. Father Talbot, editor of America, the National Catholic Weekly, and author of several books, was honored at a dinner given by the Catholic Club before he spoke on the lyceum program in the college audi- torium. Through the efforts and planning of Miss Carrie Ludden, sponsor, and president Eleanor Curry, the pre-med club presented a well rounded program this year. In the fall, the members visited the State Tuberculosis Hospital where they inspected the operating room, laboratory and studied tuberculin mi- crobes. They also visited the State Indus- trial School and heard Dr. Jester discuss the auditory system. Other visits included an iron lung demonstration and an inside view of the Good Samaritan Hospital. There they were able to see Dr. Gibbons giving medical care, treating two wounded soldiers for a fractured skull and a fractured ankle. Other officers for the year were: Inez Berg, vice president, and Betty Horner, secretary-treas- urer.

Student enthusiasm and pep in back- ing the college teams hit new heights this year, and no small part of the uplift in spirit was due to the efforts of the hard working, cheering Zip Club. Rallying students in snake dances, leading yells at numerous games and impromptu rallies, the Zip Club- bers tried hard to make the cheering equal the championship teams. The pre-homecoming game bonfire set- tled back to normalcy this year when it burned on schedule, and members of the Zip Club led students in brightening up the gloomy rainy night with spirited cheering for the football team. Students saw their team set back time after time in that home- coming game, but kept up their winning en- thusiasm and yells to back their team to ul- timate victory. Sometimes at basketball games as the students became absorbed in the game to keep very quiet, the Popper would have to wake up to the fact that cheering support was need, and then the Zip Club would take charge for the Antelope yell. The club also conducted many rallies in the hall, between classes, in the auditor- ium, or any convenient place to send the athletes off in high spirits. Members of the group also helped as ushers at college ly- ceum programs, and as guides for newcom- ers to the school. This year the Zip Club elected a queen from their own group for the first time, start- ing an election which it hopes to make tra- ditional. The club nominated several of its members basing selections on school loyalty and sportsmanship. During the half of one of the games. President Cushing crowned Elizabeth Lovell as Zip Queen of 1941-42. Page 85 fyollowesui ajj Gb uAt First Row: J. Price, S. McMichcal, W. Stevens, P. McGrow, E. Dageforde, M. Nielsen. Second Row: V.

It is my purpose to live as a true fol- lower of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the declaration that girls make when they be- come affiliated with the Young Women's Christian Association. New students were welcomed to the campus last September by a Marshmallow Sing sponsored by the religious organiza- tions of the campus and held at Lake Kear- ney. One hundred eighty girls lighted their candles from the Y flame at the annual membership banquet held in September at the First Lutheran Church. Marie Refshauge, toastmistress, called upon various members to develop the theme, Hitch Your Wagon to a Star. A weiner roast at Fort Kearney wa:: the program of the joint Y. W.-Y. M. October meeting. Dr. Lyle E. Mantor gave the his- tory of the old fort. The thirty-fifth anniversary of the local Y. W. C. A. was observed October 29, by a tea. The local chapter is a charter member of the national organization. Traditionally the Y. W. C. A. members went carolling on Wednesday evening pre- ceding the holiday vacation. Refreshments and a social hour followed the carolers' return to the Y. W. C. A. room. As the holiday season approached, the Y. W. C. A. buzzed with activity. First, there was the Nativity, the yearly Christmas convocation. Next, the annual Christmas Festival which was held on Friday, Decem- ber 12. Campus organizations sponsored booths and concessions for the carnival in the administration building. The Y. W. Pine Cone Inn was the popular meeting of fac- ulty members and students. At the dance that followed the day and evening of fes- tivities Peggy Nicholas and Charles Wilson were crowned Christmas Queen and King. The Tuesday, March 3rd convocation program introduced Dr. L. B. Moseley, Madi- son, Wisconsin, the guest speaker for the Religious Emphasis Week, March 3, 4, 5. The theme, Our Future is Now, was de- veloped by a student luncheon, dormitory meetings, personal conferences, cabinet din- ners, and a faculty-ministerial association dinner. Each year the Rocky Mountain Regional Y. W. C. A.-Y. M. C. A. Conference meets at Estes Park for ten days of spiritual and so- cial fellowship. Juanita Jillson and Marie Refshauge were Kearney representatives last year. Marie Refshauge was president of the local chapter for 1941-1942. Barbara Hinter- long, vice president; Peggy Nicholas, secre- tary; and Juanita Jillson, treasurer. Barbara Hinterlong will head the group next year. Page 86 7wa TUcfJit StanJU Douglas Lawrence, Juanita Jill- son, Jeanne Barber, Kenneth Ebright and Eileen Talbot rehearse a scene for the second semester production, Night Must Fall.” Bill Stafford. The Man Who Came to Dinner,” sees Don Harris closing a mummy case lid on Char- lene Hansen. Weeks spent in selecting a suitable play, days of casting characters, and night after night of intensive preparation—all of this is the background for the two night stand of an all college play. Dr. Robertson Strawn, director, has al- ways tried in the selection for presentation by the college actors and actresses to choose only the highest ranking plays. This year was consistent with his policy as the college fine arts department presented 'The Man Who Came to Dinner,” and Night Must Fall. Bill Stafford had the lead in The Man Who Came to Dinner, the part which was written as a humorous biography sketch of Alexander Woolcott. Other leading parts in his production were taken by Charlene Hansen, Jeanne Erickson, Kenneth Ebright, Don Harris, Lloyd Baysdorfer and Agnes Reed. The all college play for the second se- mester was Night Must Fall, an English Murder story. Starring Kenneth Ebright as Dan, the English youth who had a strange desire for murder, and Jeanne Barber as the Eccentric wealthy Englishwoman, the cast also included Charlene Hansen, Douglas Lawrence, Juanita Jillson, Eileen Talbot, Vaughn Larsen and Agnes Reed. Much hard work goes into the prepara- tion of a play to put it on the boards for two nights, but participants rarely regret any of the preparation. Page 89 Voiced leaded itt First Row: B. Morgan, B.

The candelabra on the stage are lighted and sedately the A Cap- pella choir members, burning tapers in hand, march to the front of the auditorium. This is the traditional Christmas vesper ser- vice, held every year on the Sunday after- noon before Christmas vacation begins. The choir this year has been divided into two sections. There have been a mixed group and a women's choir. For some time at the beginning of the second semester, Mr. Doughty was afraid that with only a handful of male voices, the choir would have to con- sist of women's voices alone. However, with a bit of recruiting, and especially hard work on the part of the few men, a mixed choir was possible. The first performance of the a cappella choir was a special Sunday afternoon per- formance with the symphony orchestra for the benefit of State Board members who were meeting here. The second concert was the Christmas vesper service on Decmber 14. The final concert of the season was the spring concert in the sonotorium at Harmon Park, May 3. This concert was also with the symphony. The choir sang at convocation, baccalaureate and commencement, and made a radio broadcast during the year. At Christmas time, a special choral group made up of choir members gave perfor- mances in Kearney and several concerts in neighboring towns. Soloist with the choir was Mary Ann Wendell, senior from Axtell. The greatest disappointment for the choir members and their director, Mr. Gavin L. Doubhty, was the cancellation of the spring tour, because of the tire shortage. Page 90 Antelope QiueA. Long lines of silver linotype slugs clat- ter into the galley.

A few hours later, NSTC students read the latest campus news. Thus, in so many words, is the story of the Antelope week to many not connected with the official college weekly newspaper. But it is more work than a few sentences can show. All week, NSTC-ers run down news leads, type copy, proofread stories, write headlines, plan makeups, sell and collect for advertising, mail nearly two hundred copies to NSTC men in all branches of the service. Go-Ue e f ewA This year, under the direction of Flor- ence E. Williams, Effie to her staff, nine students tasted journalism in use. Verne Dowers, acting as associate editor, handled front page news, wrote features, and helped direct assignments. Jack Hart covered the sports picture, while Royal Jester opined in a sports column. Marie Refshauge and Jua- nita Jillson handled the social angle while Treva Lange worked the news front. Ruth Bachman could be found asking questions for her weekly symposium feature and Wi- nona Peterson snooped for humor. Dorothy Holcomb, whose official title was that of business manager, worked as many hours on the editorial staff as she did in supervising the finances of the publicate. Nannette Noyes and Betty Dickson worked as associate business managers, what with collecting for advertising, and supervising the mailing lists.

That statement was to be the extent of the copy for the Blue and Gold page, but in case anyane would be skeptical, staff members insisted that there be at least a couple clari- fying sentences. Sometime during the summer, 1941 A. D., Nelson and Brown went to Minne- apolis to the headquarters of the National Scholastic Press Association. There they saw all of the best university and college annuals, and picked up two or three ideas fo:. the book this year. Fortunately they re- membered enough of what they had seen to have the dummy worked out before the first semester of school. The yearbook heads had been told a great plan about yearbook management when they were in Minneapolis. Don't do all of the work yourselves, was the com- ment. You are the executives, just plan the work for the staff and supervise the staff as they go about their duties. Gullible as ever, Nelson and Brown went about the pro- cess of selecting a staff, and even went so far as to plan the work. But as time went on, returns on this sys- tem became less. Dean Nicholson, sports editor, worked out his section completely. Dan Thrasher pulled enough students down to the studio to insure the most complete representation in class sections in the history of the book. Copy came in from Bob Ches- nut, assistant editor, and Mel Orth. Clar- ence Lierley handled the informal photog- raphy. Two staff members announced their marriage, and when Mr. and Mrs. Don John- son made this announcement, they also re- tired from the staff. But other staff members forgot where the Blue and Geld office was located. Drin Nicholson, sports editor, checks proofs on track pictures.

Office equipment was fairly complete, but the Student Council ordered some files and gave the files and the bill to the Blue and Gold staff. In order to conserve on expenses while getting valuable pictures and copy, Nelson and Lierley hitch-hiked to the Kearney-Peru football game. Going by way of Omaha, the two gave some first aid en route, being the first to arrive at the scene of a serious auto collision. After the game, transporta- tion charges were kept down when band members kindly offered the B G staff mem- bers a ride in the band bus. Nelson and Brown ended the year in great style, working eighty odd hours a week, and because of faculty leniency in class attendance, were able to devote full time to the Blue and Gold.

Page 95 cSocicU Qnxwfisl fUJosJz ocj tliesi Each organization may have only one rush party during a semester; a rushee in order to be pledged must have completed nine hours with at least a C average; two or more actives in the presence of a rushee when money is spent for the benefit of the rushee constitutes a rush party; no rushing is permitted after the midnight before pref- erence day. These are only a few of the rush regulations set by the Inter-Fraternity- Sorority Council, but somewhat laxly en- forced by the group. Only the Juanitas, Sig- mas, Zetas, Phi Taus and Cals would stoop so low as to get around them! The purpose of the council is to foster a better spirit of cooperation among the social organizations, regulate rushing, and to be a general dumping ground for sorority and fraternity problems. Each semester the council awards a scholarship plaque at convocation to the sorority and fraternity with the top scholar- ship average. This year the Phi Taus won the fraternity award both semesters, and the Sigmas and Zetas each won the sorority plaque once. The organization is made up of the president and one representative from each fraternity and sorority. Special privileges are invitations to attend the dances of all the groups. Mr. Welch was the sponsor and Eileen Engberg was president for the year. The third annual Inter-Fraternity-Soror- ity formal ball was held at the National Guard Armory, March 27. Its success is proof that all rivalry during the year was friendly and that members from all of the organizations can have a good time together. First Row: Mr. Welch. P. Blessing. E. Engberg, V.

Page 96 Quilditty Socially, Naomi Stark pins a bouiionicrc on Paul Nowell before a sorority dance. This year when various parts of college life were analyzed to find their contribution to national defense, a faculty committee thought that the time was appropriate to in- vestigate the fraternities and sororities. The committee, giving national defense as the motive behind the questioning of the pur- poses of the social groups, called frat and sorority members up for a conference. Members of these organizations are proud of their groups and of their aims, and are well-prepared to meet any charges brought up against them. They feel that probably no other class of organizations have done more to build individuals socially than the fraternities and sororities. Funda- mentally these groups have as a purpose of the development of social grace, the ability of men and women to cooperate with others, and a fellowship which can not be found elsewhere than in an organized social group. No greater thrill comes to the new ac- tive than his first formal dinner dance. He is acting his best. He is escorting his best girl friend, and she is wearing her prettiest formal evening dress, with a beautiful cor- sage he sent her. They are dining in a love- ly hotel ballroom with the music of a good orchestra adding contentment to the scene. At the end of their dinner they wander through the hotel lobby before returning to the beautifully decorated ballroom to spend several hours dancing in the presence of their best friends. But these experiences are not all that social organizations strive to instill in the minds of their affiliates. Group teamwork is given chance for expression. Thrilling danc- es are not had for the asking. There must be planning and cooperation in initiating themes, carrying out decorations, planning menus. Minor parties and picnics also re- quire group cooperation. Individuals learn to get along with their comrades. Regular meetings during the year also provide opportunities for high ideals, as the groups work for leadership, scholarship, unity and comradeship. All this is accomplished on the campus at Kearney with as little monetary expense as possible. Money itself is no barrier for a student desiring membership in a frater- nity or sorority. But prospective members must pass standards of scholarship, friend- liness and sincerity. There is a need on any campus for the opportunities for these aims and activities, and the fraternities and sororities on this campus are meeting such a need to a high degree.

Page 98 Unity, friendship, leadership and broth- erhood—the four aims of Phi Tau Gamma— enjoyed a high degree of realization this year as Phi Taus rounded out a very full year of activity. Meetings moved at a fast tempo this year, paddles even faster, and members strived for true fraternity spirit. From the preference dinner early in the first semester, to the formal dinner dance late in May, Phi Taus had a year of friendly meetings, of parties and dances, of brotherhood. The major office in each of eight school organizations was filled by a Phi Tau. In addition, there were seven members of the fraternity on the Student Council—Jim Ranz, Neil Holm, Harvey Ritter, Charles Wilson, Bob Chesnut, Ralph Nelson and Bertrand Gibbons. Ralph Nelson, Max Ingram, James Lapp and Lloyd McCullough were officers of the Men's Council. John Sohus, Jim Harding, Jim Ranz and Ralph Nelson were Who's Who students. Students elected Charles Wilson Christmas King. George Ulbrick was picked for the center position on the All-State and All-NIAA football teams. Phi Taus were leaders in scholar- ship as well, as they won the fraternity scholarship plaque both semesters this year. V for Victory was the theme for the win- ter dance at the Armory, with Larry Herman and his orchestra playing for the affair. Phi Taus held the dance in honor of their fiater- nity brothers serving in the present war, and in memory of the fact that all Phi Taus dur- ing World War I served in the armed forces of the country. The most interesting meeting of the year was late in the first semester when Lieuten- ant Donald W. Johnson, a former frat mem- ber, spoke of his experiences in ferrying planes to England and instructing members of the R. A. F. to fly the four-motored bomb- ers. ''Big Don'' left that week-end for Egypt for another Army Air Corps mission. Don returned to Arizona to be an instructor at Davis-Monthan Field, and Phi Taus were saddened by the news in April that he was killed in a plane crash while serving as an instructor. 9n Me nosUa n Lieut.

Handlebar mustaches, derbies, can-can dresses, trills, and ruffles—amid this Gay Nineties” setting, Caledonians and their guests were taken back half a century to the days of the Bowery, as they highlighted their first semesters social activities with the staging of the annual Bowery Ball. The night of January 16, the Cals and their gals gathered at the Crystal Room of the Fort Kearney Hotel for this unique novelty dance. In keeping with the times, Sloppy Joe's Bar” was the center of activity. With check- ered table cloths, candles stuck in beei bot- tles, and signs plastered on the walls to lend the proper environment to the bar room, the bartender served apple cider, spare ribs, and sandwiches to the guests. It was a night of gayety when everyone forgot his woes and worries and had a genuinely good time. Page 100 Galedania Other gatherings filled the Caledonia social calendar. An occupational” d jnce was held at the Blue and Gold Room of the Rainbow Cafe first semester. On this night Cals came dressed in clothes which were characteristic of the work they had done the past summer. Harry Cowboy Copsey won first prize for the best costume. Rush parlies being a part of any social organiza- tion, played a big part in the Cal activities. First semester's rush party was held with the Juanita Sorority in the Recreation Room at Men's Hall! and the rush party the sec- ond semester was held again with the Jua- nitas, at the Crystal Room at the Fort Kear- ney. At the annual Christmas Festival, the Caledonians presented a radio variety show, featuring Bernard Trott as commercial announcer, Don Harris as emcee, Reiney Ehly as vocalist, and the Korney Hot Shots for the musical background. Every Tuesday night the Caledonians met in the Recreation Room at Men's Hall. There, along with the business of the eve- ning, they always resorted to some merry- making. The officers for this year were Paul Blessing, president; Bill Stafford, vice presi- dent; Bill Pitt, secretary; and Melvin Orth, treasurer. Next year's officers are Dean Marshall, president; Gerald Gruber, vice president; Bob Atwater, secretary; and Wayne Smithey, treasurer. On the N. S. T. C. campus the Cale- donians again proved their versatility by producing outstanding athletes and leaders. Paul Newell was ranked on a Little All American Football team, all state team and on the all-conference team; Paul Blessing, finishing four years of sport activities, was placed on the all state team, the all con- ference team, and given honorable mention on the Little All American team. Mike Shada v as chosen as Most Valuable Football play- er, and Phil Shelmadine, Tom Journey, Dick Peterson, also received recognition for out- standing play in football. Cals were also outstanding on the campus in leadership. At the K club dance, Blessing was an- nounced as the most representative man, Bill Stafford carried the lead in the first se- mester All College play, Arthur Kennedy was the editor of the Antler, Mel Orth was vice president of the Student Council and a Who's Who student, Wayne Smithey was elected president of the sophomore class and vice president of Men's Council, and Gerald Gruber was elected treasurer of the Men's Council.

The sor- ority had two formal dances, together with several teas, informal dances and picnics. The Christmas dance featured the hol- ly theme, and Marjorie Hollingsworth was selected as the Christmas Queen of the Jua- nita Sorority. The theme for the spring for- mal dinner dance was Juanita. As always the chief benefits derived form sorority life came through that intang- ible something that defies description. More tangible outgrowths of the Juanita aims of scholarship, leadership and friendship, how- ever, were manifested in personal achieve- ments of the members. Five, Florence Esther Williams, Helen Claire Disbrow, Dorothy Campbell, Marjory Swan, Charlene Hansen and Margaret Vosburg, were mem- bers of Xi Phi. Who's Who selectees in the sorority were Florence Esther Williams, Helen Claire Disbrow, Marjory Swan, Char- lene Hansen, Eileen Engberg and Marjorie Hollingsworth. Juanitas held the presiden- cies of the Women's Council, Xi Phi, Sigma Tau Delta, the senior class, together with the editorship of the Antelope. Charlene Hansen was a member of the national championship women's debate team, and Marjorie Hollingsworth was the Pi Omega Pi representative to the national convention. Members of the state home economics as- sociation elected Alice Jeanne Dunlavy their president. Juanitas led all other social groups in second semester rushing, and the new pledges were leaders too. Ruth Beaver was chosen DeMolay sweetheart, and Beth Pol- hemus was concertmistress of the college symphony. Juanitas are proud of their group, proud that they excelled in their sorority aims, and happy that the golden arrow enjoyed an eventful year. Page 102 jjuanita Fir t Rows D. McCall, I. Bitr, L.

Quality, not quan- tity — Today decides Tomorrow and with those two Zeta sorority mottos Dr. Mary Morse, sponsor, and Doris Johnson, presi- dent, started the Zeta year at the first se- mester preference dinner at the Midway. Of course, before that there had been the up and down the river rush party, and after that came the informal initiation with everything from doll buggies to fly swatters included. With Winona Junkin as pledge president, the pledges began their activity, wearing their black and white pledge rib- bons for several weeks. They entertained the actives at a Hallowe'en party at Case Hall. Several Zetas made the trip to Lin- coln to see the Nebraska-Pittsburgh football game and then came back in time to issue the Zeta Chatter to send to Zeta alumnae. JeJa Glti Alp.Ua By that time Christmas wasn't far away, so the girls met at the home of Dr. Morse to plan their formal Zeta dance for Decem- ber, and to learn dance etiquette. Later, but still in the Christmas mood, Dr. Morse was hostess to the members at a Christmas breakfast at Men's Hall. Then, it was time to rush again and this time Zetas went to the Midway Hotel. Sec- ond semester pledges took out preference cards and met with the actives for the pref- erence dinner with an All-American theme. Pledges carried Z's during Hell Week and sought signatures. Costumes were in order at informal initiation as pledg- es paid forfeits for neglecting to carry out orders during Hell Week. Time out for food and talk is taken at a Zeta dance.

Pledges April-fooled the actives at a party at Case Hall in late March and treated them to an April-fool drink. Sorority members and dates attended the spring formal dance at the Fort Kearney, and there was formal initiation for the pledg- es too. Zetas were leaders in school activities. Virginia Bailey was elected vice president of the Women's Council, and Doris Johnson was named a Who's Who student. Vivienne Beck was elected to the Student Council. The Zeta sorority was awarded the scho- lar ship plaque for the first semester, hav- ing an average of 2.9. What a swell year the Zetas have had!

From the very first night when we car- ried popcorn in jack and Jill pails at the Mother Goose rush party until the spring dinner dance it has been a succession of gay frolics and accumulating achievements. Parties have presented a contrast in kind—from the casual good fellowship of bowling and skating parties to the candle- light dignity of the waffle supper. Bowling, and chili afterwards at Suz- anne Stearns' home—that was fun. Fun, too, was the Florida party given us by our sponsor. Miss Martha Lois Smith. Not just fun, but sheer enchantment was the winter formal. Brilliant colors, silhouet- ted dancers, an atmosphere of romance, an dthe soft, sweet music of Garnis Doner's orchestra waved a spell which left a sparkle in the girls' eyes for days. Fun, enchantment—these are descrip- tive of parties, but inspirational is the word which best describes pledging ceremonies and formal initiations. The preference din- ner at Elliott's Tea Room, where I received my pink and white pledge ribbons from president Virginia Henline, prepared me in part for formal initiation. I needn't tell you how much initiation thrilled me. I remem- ber you said, I'll never forget the beauty of the candlelight ceremonies. Second semester preference dinner was at Grantham's. Norma Newman, our secretary, gradu- ated after Christmas, and Georgia Sterner was elected to take her place. Thelma Mc- Coy became treasurer in place of Naomi Stark, who left at mid-year to accept a teach- ing position. The Sigmas gave a shower for Mrs. Bette Starkey Johnson at the home of Lois Huffstutter, before she left for Cali- fornia. The shower was given not long before the second semester rush party. Table ap- pointments in the Green Room of the Fort Kearney Hotel and decorations in the Crys- tal ballroom carried out the theme of the party—Peppermint Stick. Later in the eve- ning the Phi Taus cames for dancing. Sure- ly the sentences meted out by Judge Lois Huffstutter, vice president, at informal initi- ation, seemed not so harsh when pledges remembered their pleasant times at parties such as this. But enough of parties for the moment. I'm sure you want to know about some of our achievements in scholarship and lead- ership. One of which we are especially proud is the winning of the Inter-Farternity- Sorority scholarship plaque. Eleanor Curry, our reporter, had the highest individual rat- ing. Jo Duering, your president last year, was chosen Sweetheart of the Home Eco- nomics Club. Juanita Jillson reigned as Gridiron queen; Peggy Nicholas, as Christ- mas queen. These are but a few of the honors coming to members of Sigma Theta Phi. I thought you were exaggerating when you told me what Sigma Theta Phi means to you, that good fellowship, sincerity, loy- alty, and achievement were just easily re- peated words, to be used on special occa- sions. Sigma Theta Phi members have shown me that each word represents an ideal by which to live. I'm proud to be a Sigma. Your sister, Hope Adee Thi is a corner shot of ihc sheer enchantment at the Sigma winter formal. Sigmas are in a huddle dis- cussing party preparations. Sigmas hold a sorority dinner.

Page 107 One of the most important parts in the war effort is that of physical education, and the college carried this phase to a high degree of excellence this year. Highly successful in the intercollegiate sport program, Kearney also placed emphasis on an all-student patricipaticn in physical development. Starting the year of victories, the Antelope grid team went through the entire season undefeated and united. Cashing in on almost unlimited power, the team was not only conference champion, but was also named the top college team in the state. Outstanding for all-around balance, the Antelopes were acclaimed the best football team in the history of the school. Individual excellence came in for prominence in the all-con- ference and all-state team selections, and in Little All American choices also. As they met opponents who featured all forms of attack from the deception of the T formation to sheer bruis- ing offense, the Kearney gridders held them all to a total of two touchdowns, while marking up a total of 204 points. Strongest performers on a squad of champions were Paul Newell, Paul Blessing, George Ulbrick, Dick Peterson, Tom Journey and Mike Shada. Sports enthusiasts turned from the gridiron to the basket- ball court to watch a squad compoesd of only four veterans round into a fairly successful team. Relying on the develop- ment of new material. Coach Clifton White, in his first year as cage mentor here, brought out a good enough roster to pull through with an average season. Lloyd McCullough broke into the limelight of the state college basketball circles as he led the Antelope scoring attack with an even 200 points, which merited him a first team position on both the All-State and the All-Conference quintets. The track team began their season well on the way to a repetition of last year's conference championship, also mer- iting attention as potentially the best squad in the school's history. Being paced by several veterans, the team was rounded into good form by some outstanding freshmen ma- terial. Monte Kinder stood out among a squad of stars, set- ting a new NSTC high jump record, and tying for second place at the Kansas Relays. A strong intramural program was also conducted to give other students a chance to have recreation and build up their bodies. With competition in touch football, basketball, vol- leyball, track and softball, teams contested with much rivalry for sports championships. Paul Peterson hurries across for the winning touchdown against Peru. The ball goes into possession of Kearney again, as Lloyd McCullough leaps high for the rebound in the Chadron game.

Conference champions, ranking first in the state and among the ten top small college teams of the nation, the Kearney State Teachers College football team pulled through the season with eight straight victories. With an all veteran team boosted by a large crew of able reserves, the Antelopes rolled over their oppon- ents with a total of 204 points as their victims managed to eke out 13. The Peru Bobcats' touchdown came on an 85-yard end run, and a successful try for point. The other touchdown scored against the Kearney grid team was the result of a Chadron punt bouncing into one of the Kearney players who accidentally kicked the ball across the goal line, only to be recovered by a Chadron man. There was a rumor of a post-season game with Mid- land College to determine the state championship team, because Midland had also gone through the season un- defeated and untied. The terms for the game could not be agreed upon so the game was canceled and the state championship team was never officially selected, but— a man has a right to his own opinion. This is what the Nebraska State Journal and Star newspaper had to say about the two teams: Acknowledging Popper Klein's Kearney Antelopes as the best unit . . . Kearney and Newell Blessing PAUL NOWELL, KKK. Tackle—Newell’s stellar line play proved good enough (or him to receive a tackle position on the third team of the Little All American squad. Paul was unanimous choice for the first team line on the All-NIAA team. Newell also called signals for the team this year from his tackle position. PAUL BLESSING. KKKK, End—Paul turned in his third year on the NIAA conference team. His height and experience proved to be a great help in pulling the Antelopes through undefeated. Bless was also given honorable mention on the Little All American eleven. A determined crowd of rooter cheer fer the team cn the eve of the homecoming game. Page 110 Ulbrick D.

Back—Recog- nition wa� given Dick for his ability as a great backfield man as he was picked on the All-NIAA and All-State teams. PHIL SHELMADINE. KKK. Guard— Phil strengthened the center of the Popper's line at guard position, and broke into the All-NIAA line-up. Midland both finished their seasons unbeaten and un- tied, gained nationwide publicity when the select list be- gan to diminish at a rapid rate. Kearney is given the number 1 rating because of its tenacious, robust forward wall that permitted only one touchdown to penetrate it the entire season. Opening the season with Bethany, Kansas, the An- telopes won by the score of 26 to 0. Running up against the famed T-formation for the only time of the season, Kearney was able to hold the Bethany eleven and ramble on to four touchdowns. TOM JOURNEY. KKK. Guard- Teaming up at guard with Shclmadinc, Tom by hi rugged line play won a second team position on both the All-NIAA and All- State team . In the next game. Pop Klein's boys went on a scoring spree as they ran over York 51-0. Scoring twice in the first five minutes of play, the first string went on to score for the third time in the first quarter. The second squad came into the game at the beginning of the second period to romp across the goal line for three more counters. First half statistics showed that the Antelopes had chalked up only four first downs in scoring the six touchdowns. The Page 111 STAN HARRIS crack through the Hailing line for the firm touchdown ol the game. DICK PltTHRSON u c an effective stiff-arm on right end sweep in conference championship game with Wayne. visitors gained only one yard from scrim- mage by rushing during the first half. Hol- lencamp added another counter early in the third period climaxing an eighty-nine yard march. Stacker crossed the goal line for the eighth and final touchdown just a few sec- onds before the final whistle. In the next contest with their traditional foe, Hastings, the Kleinmen used their pow- er tactics for the first half without scoring. The Antelopes made four threats only to be turned back by the Hastings eleven, before the Kearneyites scored with Stan Harris go- ing across in the final minutes of the third canto. Hollencamp scampered forty-seven yards through the entire Hastings team to score midway in the fourth quarter. Dick Badura drove the final counter over with about a minute left to play. In the closing seconds, Earl Godfrey, freshman center, in- tercepted one of the opponents' passes on the fifty yard line and moved to the two yard line before being hauled down from behind. Mike Shada's line smashing and fine de- fensive job along with Dick Peterson's ball carrying were the outstanding performances for the Antelopes. Traveling to Peru for their first N. I. A. A. game, the Kearney gridders underwent the toughest and roughest contest of the season. Shada, driving fullback, received an injured vertebrae and was unable to play any more during the season. Quillen, freshman back, suffered a sprained ankle which hampered him for the remainder of the season. Bless- ing, veteran end, injured his shoulder as he made a spectacular diving catch of Stan Harris's pass in the end zone for the initial Kearney counter. The Bobcats took an early lead as they scored by an eighty-seven yard end run, af- ter continually heckling the Antelopes with tricky reverses. With their superior reserve power beginning to show, the Kearney eleven scored in the third quarter on Stan Harris's pass to Blessing. The try for point v as missed, leaving the Antelopes still on the short end of the 7-6 score. Starting the fourth quarter, Tiny Meyer heaved a pass to Paul Peterson, who travelled the remain- ing ten yards to score and put the Kleinmen in a lead which they held for the remainder of the game. Same song, fifth verse, as Kearney overpowered Nebraska Wesleyan. The An- telopes again went on a rampage in scoring five times, the first coming on the second play of the game. In the annual homecoming game the Antelopes had a hard time overcoming the first half driving power of the Sterling, Kan- Page 112 MIKB SHADA, KKK.

DICK BADURA, K, Back Rounding into one of the most powerful backs on the team, Bronco replaced injured Shada and was high point man for the season. PAUL PETERSON. KK. Back—Although hampered somewhat by a pulled leg muscle, Paul still turned in some fine performances as a blocking back. STAN HARRIS. KK, Back—Stan came through with some outstanding passing performances, bringing several aerial touchdowns. KENT RYAN. K. Back—Reserve tailback showed good promise for next year as he had drive.

Just reversing the first half procedure, the Kearneyites came back to score on a line plunge from the one yard line in the third period. In the fourth quarter, Dick Ba- dura, taking the place of the injured Shada, kicked a beautiful field goal from the side line, eighteen yards from the goal line. The next two touchdowns came on passes, the first from Stan Harris to Stucker, and the second pass form Stem to Beck. Coming from behind against Chadron to overcome a fluke touchdown, the Ante- lopes scored in the first half to tie the count at 6-6 half time. During the third quarter, Kearney scored again as Badura plunged across for the touchdown and kicking the extra point. In the final tussle of the season to de- cide the N. I. A. A. championship, the An- telopes rambled over the Wayne Wildcats by the score of 28-0. The Wildcats tried to penetrate the Kearney front wall but were quickly tamed, and in desperation took to the air. Journey plunged across from the one yard line late in the second quarter for the first counter. After intercepting one of Wayne's passes, the Antelopes drove eigh- ty-two yards to another touchdown. John Rumbaugh, freshman end, intercepted an- other Wildcat desperation pass and went across for the third score. Big Paul Blessing scored the final tally on a long pass from Stan Harris. Kearney gained 365 yards rushing to Wayne's minus ten. Mike Shada was presented the Most Valuable Award at a banquet given by the Cosmopolitan Club honoring the undefeated and untied Antelopes. The thirty-one let- termen on the squad were presented with gold footballs. ROLAND MYERS.

Page 114 Erthum Godfrey Sluckcr Colton Rohde Moore Hurlbert Spell The Antelopes had a full line-up hon- ored on the All Conference team. Places on the first team went to Paul Blessing, end; Paul Newell, tackle; George Ulbrick, center; Phil Shelmadine, guard; and Dick Peterson, halfback. On the second team were Tom Journey, guard; Virgil Korte, end; Jack Hol- lencamp, quarterback; and Carl Meyer, half- back. Herschel Pahl, tackle, and Dick Ba- dura, back, received honorable mention. Receiving first team berths on the Uni- ted Press All State College Team were Paul Blessing, Paul Newell, George Ulbrick, and Dick Peterson. On the second eleven were Tom Journey, Phil Shelmadine, and honor- able mention berths went to Korte, Pahl, Hol- lencamp, and Meyer. The Antelope B won the only two games they played, taking the first one from Mc- Cook Junior College by the score of 6-0, and winning the second, 14-7, against Concordia. TOM ERTHUM, K. Back—A promising fresh man with plenty of speed and weight. EARL GODFREY. K. Center—Rugged and de- veloping into a promising center, Earl broke up sev- eral plays from his line-backing position. BOB RHODE, K. Tackle—Freshman showed some fine line play at his tackle position to build-up the reserve strength. ROLLAND MOORE, K, Back—Diminutive but speedy, RollancT had to use deception rather than force to make his yardage. VERLE STUCKER, K.

A. jinx was still with the An- telope basketeers as they lost all six confer- ence games. All of the seven Kearney vic- tories were against N. C. A. C. schools. Coach White's cagemen turned back York, co-champions of the N. C. A. C. conference, twice during the season. Opening the season with a loss to Mc- Cook Junior College, the Antelopes went on with two more losses before winning from their old-time rival, Hastings. Dropping a game to Peru and victorious over Nebraska Wesleyan, the Kearney quintet split even on a two day trip. Winning the next two games from York, the Antelopes were on the March only to be halted by Chadron with two loss- es in two nights. Putting up stiff opposition for the N. I. A. A. champs, Mentor White's five were just two points short on the sec- ond night of a 52-50 defeat. With a squad composed of only four vet- erans and no seniors Coach White had to develop new material to make up his roster. The team came through with double victor- ies over Hastings, Wesleyan, and York and a single victory over Midland. Leading the Antelope squad in scoring, Lloyd McCullough made 200 points to be one of the highest scorers in the state college circuit. Lloyd received able assistance from veteran Tom Journey, Dick Peterson, and freshman star Wendell Slater. McCullough received a first team berth on the All-State and All-N. I. A. A. team selections. Dick Pe- terson and Wendell Slater also received mention on the conference team selctions. Page 121 R. Moore, M. James, T. Journey, J. Rumbaugh, D. Nicholson, L. McFarland, M. Kinder, C. King, L.

Page 123 J iacJz4t il l ndejeated jp i wo- IjeaAA Starting the season with overwhelming victories over Hastings, York and Fort Hays, the Antelope track squad added another conference championship to their 1941 hon- ers. With a squad composed of several veterans and bolstered by much new ma- terial, the cinder team developed into the strongest track team in NSTC history, as well as gaining the undisputed title as the number one college track team in the state. Heading the veterans was Merle Ste- wart, who completed his track participation by winning the conference quarter-mile and anchoring the mile relay team to first place. Other returning track men included Frank- lin Scott, conference champion in the pole vault and high hurdles; Monte Kinder, new college and conference high jump record holder; Bob Lewis, hurdler and quarter mil- er; and Dick Peterson, half-miler and relay man. Vernon Anderson, who was set to lead the field in the distance runs, had bad luck in pinching a leg nerve center before the season got underway. Adding to this powerful list of veterans was such new material as Keith Cottrell, 220 conference champion; Merlin Quillen, con- sistent sprint winner; and Errol Newbury, conference champion half-miler. Kearney defeated Hastings, the NCAC champions, each meet they met, rolling over them the second time by the score of 101 1-2 to 52 3-4. The Kearney cindermen in the second meet captured nine first places and both relays. Meeting Fort Hays, Kansas, in an April rainstorm, the Antelopes trounced them 82 1-3 to 48 2-3. With the track cov- ered ankle-deep with water there was little chance for outstanding performances, as Kearney took ten firsts and nine second places. In the final meet before the conference test, the Antelopes ran away from Fort Hays and Hastings, scoring 90 1-2 points. Hast- ings, had 38 1-2; Fort Hays, 35. Copping the NIAA conference title for the second straight year, the Antelope cin- der team also retained its ranking as the top college track team in the state. Taking seven first places, including Monte Kinder's new NIAA record jump, and picking other points on the many other places, the Kear- ney track team scored 79 points, followed by Wayne with 49, Peru with 28, and Chadran with 18.

Other NIAA conference school gave up those two sports this spring, and because of this the conference championships in golf and tennis won by the Antelopes in 1941 remained unchallenged this year. Tennists Stan Houska, Jack Kennedy, LaVerne Hutchins and Wayne Smithey won only over the York team, while losing to the Hastings and Fort Hays tennis foursomes, although splitting the match results. The golf team, composed of Bob Ayres, Jack Swcmson, Bob Chesnut and Ed Kelly lost also to Hastings while taking Fort Hays. A return match with Fort Hays was can- celled because of a near cloudburst. Houska was the only veteran on the '42 tennis team, and Ayres, Swanson and Kelly were returning golfers. Throughout the sea- son, Houska and Ayres retained the num- ber one position on their respective teams. Intramurals assumed greater impor- tance with the national emphasis on physi- cal sport participation. Teams entering com- petition for the intramural plaque won last year by the Phi Taus were the dorm team, faculty, gym team, Caledonians, YMCA and the Phi Taus. Adapting the T formation to touch foot- ball, the Phi Taus went undefeated in this sport. Closest competition was shown in the intramural basketball tournament, with the Dorm Team, Cals and Phi Taus fighting it out for top honors. Coach Frank Vanek finally worked out strategy for his Dorm Team that stopped the two fraternity teams. The next tourney was volleyball, which was won by the faculty team, with the aid of a few student recruits. Six records fell as the Cals won the in- tramural track crown. With their one man gang Leland Marrow taking four first places, the Cals easily took this champion- ship. One of Marrow's wins was good for a new record, as he threw the shot 38 feet, 7 3-4 inches. Phi Tau Burdette Backlund lowered the times for the 440 and 880, being clocked in :56.7 and 2:17. 9 dsiamu iali Qain Ompa dance. Page 125 W. A. A. First Row: E. Hill. B. Moyer, M. Shafer. E. Leddy.

Mclinc The Women's Athletic Association is an organization giving the women on the camp- us a chance to have recreation and enter- tainment, while the boys are able to partici- pate in competitive sports. The boys usual- ly find plenty of competition in playing a W. A. A. team or member. The three primary aims of the W. A. A., which was organized on the campus in 1937, are sportsmanship, loyalty, and leadership. Intramural tournaments are sponsored by the W. A. A., including swimming, archery. badminton, basketball, volleyball, shuffle- board, table tennis, and tennis. Roller skat- ing and bowling parties constitute some of the extra fun nights. It is possible for each member to earn an award for a year of par- ticipation in the W. A. A. by a special point system, the awards being a K letter, a locket, a pin, and a sweater. Each year the club sponsors a faculty night for the women on the faculty and the wives of the men on the faculty. Miss Faye Colegrove is the club sponsor. W. A.

Page 126 K GUL The athletic leaders of the campus, the K Club members, are required to meet high standards to obtain the treasured K. In foot- ball the players are required to play at least one quarter for every game; in basketball the standard is one half more than fifty per cent of the halves played; ten points are necessary for a track letter; and men on the tennis and golf teams must win at least half of their matches. Several events are sponsored through- out the year by the K Club. Probably the most important of these is the annual K Club dance, where the Gridiron Queen and Most Representative Man are announced. This year's coronation designated Juanita Jillson and Paul Blessing as choices for the honors. The musical background for the dance was provided by Ralph Slade and his band. Other entertainment for the dance included a solo by the Popper, and a snappy sales talk by George Binger, former K Club mem- ber now in the army. Some of the other events were the intra- squad football game before the start of the regular football season, selling of KEARNEY pennants before the homecoming game to help bring more school spirit, the high school invitational track meet, and a spring outing for central Nebraska high school boys to- ward the last of the school year. The intramural activities, an important phase in the college athletic program, is al- so sponsored by the group. The club's sponsor is Pop Klein, who organized the club upon his arrival at this campus to stimulate interest in the sports of the school and to promote good sports- manship both in competition and actual life. George Ulbrick was the president until leaving school between semesters; Merle Stewart, vice president; and Paul Blessing, secretary-treasurer. Merle Stewart is now acting as president in Ulbrick's absence. First Row: F. Scott, R. Lewis, T. Erthum, R. Moore, P. Blessing, L. F. Klein, P. Newell, G. Brown, S. Copley, B. Stafford.

If it's new and smart in young men's clothing you'll find it at HIRSCHFELD'S. Flowers add to spring parties says Clarence Lierley, as he buys a corsage for Patty Cunning- ham. The KEARNEY FLORAL furnished flowers for all formal dances held on the campus this year. You can live without flowers but not so well is their motto. Organ melodies, played each morning by Mrs. Maynard Nelson, organist at the WORLD THEATER, offer entertainment. Of course it was the WORLD for evening entertainment, The place where the big pictures play.
