Priming by Hub Printing Company Engraving by Capital Engraving Co. Formal Photography by Mattson Studio Informal Photography by Clarence Lierly Wayne Webb Bill Burtch Sponsored by the Student Governing Association of the Nebraska State Teachers College at Kearney (This dedication for the 1943 BLUE AND GOLD was written by the feature editor, Verne Dowers, ten days before he donned khaki to join his buddies of this college on the battlefields of the world. Since writing this dedication, Verne has become Corporal Verne W. Dowers of the medical corps of the United States Army. The dedication is Verne's own and has not been revised by the editor, who felt that this wartime, khaki-clad book should be dedicated to all those in the air, on the land, and on the sea from this college by a boy at home just entering the armed forces.) . . . The Editor When the faps stabbed us in the back thahplacid morning of December 7, 1941, you were only boys; boys going to a little college in the middle of agricultural Nebraska, learning to take your places as teachers in a changing world. But the Tokyo demons took advantage of our desire to kee]d| away from world conflicts, and you answered the call to set the rising sun. You marched away from the campus with the winding walks, Ihe old maples land elms, and the gray administration building. You began to wear thejurnforms of Uncle Sam’s forces. - Your army wal the best dressed1 army in the world. You learned to execute commands. You were trained to win a war. A year and a half oi war has taken over 500 of you who still claim this school as yout alma mater. And this college is proud that it can claim you as her representatives in this all-important struggle. In this book, we have tried to truthfully portray the particular spirit of your campus, and of the things you used to do when you were a student here. These pictures and descriptions and incidents will help you remember your college. We are thankful that you fight to give us the right to publish such a book. Your school will always remember you and your contribution to our future. !VY. W 5v (The following list is a list of men who were called or enlisted from September, 1942, to March 10, 1943.

Month of orientation hand- shaking, September found us organizing clubs, electing officers, attending greencap 'board sesions and getting back to colle- giate swing while bomb-torn Stalingrad was the scene of 'house-to-house' fighting. October . , . During 31 days of fierce fight- ing between American Marines and the Japs at Guadalcanal, we were ’shot' in the an- nual college battle against colds and we helped harvest Nebraska crops during a reshuffled vacation setup. November . . . Thousands of axis warriors surrendered this month as Uncle Sam cre- ated havoc for enemies in North Africa while we emphasized religion, defeated all com- ers wanting our 'state's best' grid title, and held our annual Sadie Hawkins dance in Dogpatch style. December . . . We crabbed a little this month when Uncle Sam clamped down on free use of gasoline until we heard that Hit- ler's war machines in Russia were not stop- ped because of too little, too late. On the campus we crowned Christmas royally and 14 collegians starred in a hit drama. Page 7 January . . . January was a month of plan- ning; Roosevelt and Churchill planning fu- ture strategy for United Nations’ use against the axis, NSTCers planning second semester schedules. Also, we saw K Club members honor their queen and most representative man. February . . . Sorority and fraternity mem- bers were victorious when second semester rush season came to a close as Allies were victorious at Guadalcanal. We ate dinner at the Oscar affair while Mohandas K. Gandhi refused food in another of his fasts for In- dia. Page 8 Page 9 May . . . Soldiers donned summer clothes in North Africa while our candidates for de- grees met in the auditorium for their exer- cises in caps and gowns. Honors were giv- en war heroes by the nation and the college conferred honors to collegians with high scholastic averages and leadership ability. March . . . On the campus in March was a speech by Lew Sarett while on the radio in March two men vied for honors as Hitler beat Churchill to the mike by eight hours. NSTC played host to Pi Kappa Delta debaters and the White House played host to Ma- dame Chiang Kai-shek. April . . . Allied lorces continued their victorious march in Europe while we on the campus marched to the campus lawn and declared war on dandelions. Physical educational majors and mi- nors put on a carnival for us while our four freedoms were carried to front lines. SEPTEMBER . . . This is the month William Jeffers, newly elected rubber czar, an- nounced gasoline rationing news. Campus registration passed the 500 mark and Mens Dorm was filled to the last room while the Yanks won the World Series. McPherson and Ritter joined our faculty and Colegrove and Morse left. Britain claimed capture of three ports in Madagascar while Doughty directed an all-girl choir. o -,o58‘) BOARD OF REVIEW... Hon. Wayne O. Reed Staic Superintendent of Public Instruction Lincoln, Nebraska Placing our college in the army would change the State Normal Board to a Board of Review with duties similar to ones al- ready done by the members. Appointed by the governor, approved by members of the legislature, and serving without salary, with payment of traveling expenses only, the six members, and mem- ber ex-officio State Superintendent of Public Instruction, meet at six week intervals to formulate the policies of the four state teachers colleges in Nebraska. At the six weeks meetings members hear reports from each of the four state teachers college presidents. Members do not at- tempt to handle the full policy of each col- lege. Only the major policies such as adopting local budgets, selecting heads and faculty members of each college, and legis- lative committee appearances. These com- mittee appearances concern requests for, and expenditures of, legislative appropri- ations and other business. COMMANDER- IN-CHIEF HERBERT L. CUSHING Commander-in-chief of our college at war is Herbert L. Cushing. The one officer known to all buck privates, privates first class, corporals, and lieutenants is the six-foot five-inch man whose blue-carpeted office is never closed to his men. Commanding officer Cushing is from Ord, Nebraska; took a normal training course in high school and taught two years in the rural schools of Valley County. Following his position as cashier in a hardware and implement store, Chief Cushing attended the Grand Island College. While in college he worked at Wol- bach's store; paraded horses into a salesbarn on Saturdays; debated; served as business manager and ed- itor of the college paper; and was president of Y.M.C.A. and the liter- ary society. His Master's degree work was done at the University of Chicago and the University of Ne- braska, while he earned his Doctor of Education degree from Wesleyan University. A big man intellectually, physically, and spiritually, of- ficer Cushing is as modem as unrationed playshoes. His youthful outlook is continually brushed up by his son. En- sign Herbert L. Cushing, his daughter Margaret, employed in a bomb factory in Wahoo, Nebraska, and his wife, with whom he dances at every college dance they chaperone. A familiar figure m Ins strolls about the camp- us. in and out ol classrooms, he in- variably addresses his men by their lirst names. . . . (tide de campe — Commanding; officer Her- bert I..

Through this office all college men en- listing in navy, army, and marine re- serves or volunteering for active duty in the armed forces, must pass for the dean's signature. When called through selec- tive service procedure, college men who checked out of college had to first see personnel director, William Nicholas. Something new was added to the titles held by the Dean of Men as this year he became the official college representative on the various navy, army, and marine boards. Guests of the Dean on tours of the campus and on recruiting trips on the campus, were members of these recruit- ing corps. In addition to seeing nearly every boy every day, he serves as counselor to the Dean of Men's Council, which is com- posed of representatives of classes and campus organizations.

Joining the faculty as an instructor of English, Miss Kelly was first asked to be- come acting-dean last year when Miss Alice Robinson was granted a leave of absence to do some work at Columbia University in New York City. All girls employed part-time and at- tending college must have their position authorized through the Dean of Women's office where girls desiring part-time posi- tions may also apply. Special permits for activities of dorm girls are sent through this office and absence slips must be se- cured from this office. As the Dean of Men was doing his re- cruiting work, Dean of Women Kelly be- came a colonel in the local USO hostess corps, thus aiding the morale of air base soldiers. . . . colonel — A tmmilc is given to Nan net te Noyes and Wi- nona Worley by USO Colonel Rulh Kelly as she clops outside her office to talk.

In February Mrs. Durfee Larsen began part time work in this division just in time to brush up on her percentage figuring along with other officer members as reserves of the army air corps and army were called into active duty and withdrew from college. More new duties for the employees of this office included registration of men for physical fitness work as part of their reserve work and fees were paid by adult education classes to further keep funds of the paymaster’s financial income busy. Page 26 Administrative personnel was aided by stu- dents who helped keep funds, deposits, checks, and withdrawal of funds written down in the big grey books of the college's centralized bookkeeping system. Students who were as- sistants included Wayne Smithey and Ardelle Kennedy. PAYMASTER... Head paymaster in the finance division of the Nebraska State Teachers College at Kearney until her resignation in January was Miss Dor- othy McCall. Following her January resigna- tion, Miss McCall went to the west coast to ac- cept a position with United Airlines. Acting paymaster duties were assumed by former assistant, Miss Arlene Christensen, until newly elected Miss Betty Conley could be re- leased from her commercial teaching contract at the North Platte High School. Immediately following September induction of buck privates, corporals, sergeants, and lieu- tenants into the scholastic division of this col- lege, all non-commissioned and commissioned officers made at least one trip to the paymast- er's headquarters. Headquarters were located on the second floor of the administration build- ing. When lines faded away, office personnel went to work on percentage distribution of con- tingent fees and course fees. Organizations organized and deposited funds. Then came second semester paying which was a repetition of first semester except an absence of men was noted. . . . leave—Mi Dorothy McCall discusses paymaster duties with senior Tom Journey.

In fact, not only seniors but juniors and sophomores joined by freshmen, also visited the office of the commanding officer to confer with Miss Smithey to answer and ask questions. No small division is the PBX room where the college's private branch line is located and student and faculty mail boxes are placed. Members of the student corp of the quarter- master division of the college included Betty Jeanne Lancaster, Gladys Sherman, Betty Ann Wendell, Lois Sizer, and Dorothy Jameson. QUARTERMASTER CORPS... Page 27 High ranking commanding officer in the quar- termaster corps of the Nebraska State Teachers College at Kearney is Miss Edith Smithey. Known to civilians as the college registrar, of- ficer Smithey is the one faculty member with which every student seeking a degree from this college must have a conferencee. Immediately following the posting of the fa- miliar blue-typed notice for application for de- grees, the quartermasters' office equals the busy office of paymaster in amount of students visiting the office. Assisting the director of the quartermaster headquarters is Miss Vesta Moschel, who this year early in February typed many transcripts for army air corp reserve members and army reserves who withdrew from college to answer their call to active duty. When not doing work on her extension du- ties, Miss Myrtle Finch, who succeeded Miss Theo Power, also did assisting work for officer Smithey. In addition to routine work of degree appli- cation filing, individual records filing, typing transcripts, typing transfers, extension corre- . . . transcript—Hill Hill, going in- ia armed forces, received his trans- cript of college work from Miss Edith Smithey who place the college seal on it. LIBRARIANS... Military service would not affect the rank of head librarian, Miss Floy Carroll, and as- sistant librarian. Miss Mary E. Williams, be- cause their book work would still be library work. Though their title might not be changed and their work not be greatly changed, personnel would change from students studying in col- legiate outfits to men studying in uniforms of service branches of our armed forces. Number of books under the classification of Miss Carroll and Miss Williams would prob- ably be less. In the library rooms located in the north end of the main floor of the admin- istration are approximately 37,038 volumes which are available either on the reserve sys- tem or weekly system. Students sign either long, manila reserve cards or short, white week cards at the central desk to gain use of these books. In the A. O. Thomas Training School is the Elementary library of almost 4,242 books. Just south ol the main library in the administration Left, above . . . FLOY CARROLL. A.B..

To keep the fine lists made to post on the checking-out desk, to keep shelves in order, books mended, and current periodicals in place on magazine racks and newspaper files, requires a staff which is membered by students. . , . staff—Student-staff member Jewell Gilpin and Dean Nicholson and assistant librarian Mary E.

Mathematics, in any and all forms, became one of the by-lines on the campus this year as reserves continued scholastic studies. Math was one of their requireds and as a result math classes were filled to capacity. Men joined women in being specific and were fold to be alert, man, be alert. Students of mathematics turned from tradi- tional apples and oranges problems to guns, tanks, and ships manipulations. Army stu- dents figured mileage and time for trucks and tanks while navy reserves studied knots and ships. Students in the marine reserves joined fellow navy and army students in their prob- lems.

HISTORIANS... An addition to replace a vacancy on the staff of chief historian, Dr. Lyle Mantor, was made early in February when Miss Jean Mont- gomery replaced Durfee Larson, who donned the uniform of the coastal anti-aircraft which also gave him a title of Lieutenant to replace his civilian title. Historians in a year when history was being made almost as fast as it was being discussed by students was the rank held by social science instructors on our campus this year. Class discussion involved such terms as front lines, dark continent, Near East, Guadacanal, Solomons, North Africa, allied advances, en- emy losses, peace terms, and ultimate victory, as student historians tried arm chair strategy for war plans.

In the army men who are considered leader- ship material are sent to officers' training school. On this campus the education de- partment serves in the same capacity. Lead- ers from this school are sent to Nebraska schools to train tomorrow's leaders. Teachers in a post-war nation are today's students in college. These students will leave their educational circles for a brief span of time to go out into actual war parti- cipation or will remain on the home front doing local service work. Their students of the next generation will be of pre-war and wartime ranking. These post-war teachers are the candidates for officers' training while still on collegeiate campuses. From the campus officers' training depart- ment are sent many men to schools of army regimentation where principles discussed in civilian dress, from a half-reclining posi- tion, to a professor are mapped out and put, into practice in 200 uniformed men classes, from an erect posture, and to superior offi- cers with titles of Sir. In early term buck-private classes the ele- mentary tactics are read and discussed. On the next level of corporals, these tactics are debated and examined, and on the highly trained level of lieutenants these tactics are put into working order by actual participa- tion.

Eligible males of the state met in Kearney during the ear- ly part of March for army and navy examinations given by the officers' training department assistant, Dr. Leona Failor. If these qualifying tests were successfully passed students were eligible for government-training in their collegiate work. From the psychological side of the training school came principles of psychology which were learned in classroom lectures, but were found to be just as readily applicable to army and navy life as to everyday civilian life. Though called in civilian language mental health, when students put on the uniforms of the armed services they found a fancy name, morale, for the same thing which they had studied in colle- giate surroundings.

OFFICERS’ TRAINING GROUNDS... When an officer for officers' training school completes his collegiate courses, he makes application for active duty.

The can- didate spends several weeks of the earlier stages of his training period as the silent observer of his superior officer. The routine is followed by the candidate from his chair as an observer. This obser- vation of routine is completed and a confer- ence is arranged between candidate and superior officer and the two set a date for the candidate to go on proving grounds. Proving ground duty includes the full routine followed by the superior officer. While on proving ground the officers' train- ing school graduate receives an opportunity to put into actual practice his book theories. Revision and adjustment to local circum- stances are done at the judgment of the can- didate. When the officers' training school gradu- ate has completed his training-ground work, he is ready for active duty.

Modem tactics in use on the battlefield are products of the test tube. From the labor- atory test tube rolls the protective smoke screen to hide allied troops from vision of the enemy forces and the dehydrated food to feed the soldiers. Campus laboratories are the testing rooms for the scientist of tomorrow who is the stu- dent of today. It is in the campus lab where the buck private starts his foundation for his research studies. As a buck private his studies are concerned with naming proper- ties and effects of chemicals. In his corporal stage his work steps up one step to the insight of the why of chemicals and he adds the what, how, who, and where, as his studies continue. A more detailed study of formulas, both original and old ones, is next on his educa- tional ladder. Having gained foundation, knowledge of properties and effects, and worked on various formulas, the lieutenant commences his specialization. His pre-work has been gained in the col- lege lab. His next laboratory work is a uni- versity where one whole division of the la- boratories is devoted entirely to his spe- cialized interest. This research level is the ultimate aim of every scientist. In today's wartimes the public has, more than ever before, turned to the research be- ing done by lab workers. Rubber is the nightmare of this war and scientists are working hard to find a practical synthetic product. Chemical and physical science back- ground is so intermingled that one finds it difficult to separate one from the other. The bomb may go off because of its chemical properties, but the physical scientist has to time the reaction of the chemical with the conditions surrounding the dropping of the bomb. - V CHEMICAL , . . formula—An formula it worked out by Marion Bwkfr, Bill Harrison, ami instructor, l r, Donald Fox.

When allied troops invade enemy territory, their first thought is perhaps not on the flora of the land. However, as time goes by their interest in the land will shift to the trees, grasses, and flowers of the invaded territory. In the botanical division of the science de- partment of our college, future soldiers are shown ways to identify various species of the vegetation of the occupied territory. In the zoological division students learn how to identify the various animals which may inhabit the territories visited by their troops in the drive for victory. The student who desires pre-medical or pre-nurses training work in bacteriology does his work in this division of our college science where future medical corps members are trained in medical assistance to doctors working on wounded men that they may re- turn to battle fronts to fight for allied causes. . . . territory—Flora of battlefield territory is studied by Dr. W.

Page 41 Putting our college in the army would put the art department in the camou- flage division. The word camouflage is a new term and involves highly specialized talent with a definite taste for color and its blending properties. Grade school teacher trainees in the department learn basic camouflage principles to be applied either on bat- tle front camouflaging or in the school room where small children inquire as to how to hide home-made tanks from the sight of the next block's army. An appreciation of art is difficult to leach in times when all that art stands for is being destroyed and master- pieces are being trampled and burned in Europe's art galleries, but college instructors have turned their drawing- room painting's into landscape studies for study in camouflage work.

With wartime point-rationing programs in one hand and balanced-diet news in the other hand, American home economic stu- dents returned to old-fashion family budgets as they resumed college nutrition courses. Knitting needles were fished out of grand- mother s trunk in the attic and polished by wool being knitted into sweaters, socks, and mufflers for the son or husband at the front. Curriculums of the nation’s colleges in- cluded Red Cross nutrition classes in their schedule this year as student homemakers studied how to keep American soldiers best fed soldiers in the world.

Before any army division may locate on camp grounds the construction crew must lay the foundation for living quarters, office buildings, and kitchens. Civilian duties of the construction crew would change very little in army life. The biggest change would be number and type of buildings. A house or building is built much the same way on the home front as it is built on the military front. Welding classes came into the industrial arts department this year as welders turned from being defense workers to being a part of the war effort. They became the man behind the pilot as factory lines turned out the planes to be piloted by army trained men.

Known is civilian life as the daily dozen, the soldier places this new term onto an old routine. In civilian life, the soldier moved from place to place to receive his exercise but the army puts him in rows and a physical di- rector on a platform in front of the rows, and by the movement of arms and legs and us- ing the count of one, two, three the soldier receives his morning exercises. If his morning exercises are not enough, the soldier will receive a physical work-out in the daily marching drills which the ser- geant puts his company through on camp marching grounds, or in local five-mile or ten-mile hikes.

Last year Pop Klein's Antelopes boasted an undefeated, un- tied season but were unable to equal the record of last year's varsity. Mentioned in Little All-American circles this year was Paul Newell, outstanding Kearney tackle. Although Newell was the only All- State choice from Kearney in football, the All- Conference roster was literally filled with names familiar to local campus football fans as Peterson, Journey, Stemper, Korte, and others made the newspaper lists. With practically the same men on the squad as last year, the Kearney gridmen got off to a galloping start by opening the season on home- turf against Bethany College of Kansas.

However, this game offered the Popper oppor- tunity to see what was on his list and what to do with it. By using every man he had in suit, Pop mustered a 14-0 win over the Kansas boys. For their next encounter, the footballers re- turned to Kansas, where they met a stubborn St. Benedict eleven, at Atchison. The first quar- ter went scoreless but the Antelopes were not satisfied to let this go on, and come back in the second quarter to score the first touchdown of the game. The Kansans crossed the goal line defended by Kearney and the half ended with the score tied. Both teams well rested, the sec- ond half became a bag full of thrills and after 29 minutes and 45 seconds of this last half, which saw Kearney threaten on every play, everyone was satisfied to call it a tie game. Then the unexpected which only happens in football games during the closing minutes came as St. Benedict was on. Kearney's 38- yard line. The ball was snapped to a St. Bene- dict man on the other side of the goal-line, who caught it and gave opponents the lead over the Kteinmen, 12-6, Antelopes knew defeat for the first time in 14 starts. :ucktr Rich i id Petersen fialliincl Moore Ward Newcomb Paul Pctcrion Max Darling Merlin Qirrllrn Eugene Peterson Curtiip Roblyer D Wayne Stemper But 'not tor long because a week later, after a campus painting spree at Hastings by several enthusiastic Kearney students, the gridmen broke the long time jynx held by Hastings, by beating the Broncos, 40-0. After this decisive victory the boys felt safe in coming home to display their wares and they picked the Bobcats from Peru on which to do their demonstrating. It was here that Kearney won their first conference game of the season. After battling back and forth for what seemed like hours, the Ante- lopes emerged with 13 points to their credit and allowed Peru 6.

Kearney again started things rolling with a touchdown, but again the foe resisted and came back to tie the score. Then the chips were down but it didn't take long to turn them up and throw them away as the Antelopes won hands-down, 41-7. ROLAND MEYERS.

I Sterling College came to the field north of Mens Hall to be the next victim of Kear- ney gridmen as Kearney used the whole team, including the water boy, to plow the southerners under the sod to the tune of 51-0. In the last two encounters of the season the conference championship was at stake and to win the trophy Kearney needed only one victory. Wayne was the first contestant as they played host to the Klein men. The Wildcats made a strong bid for the win but not quite strong enough as the Antelopes rolled over them, 13 to 6. Again Kearney had won the Conference Championship but there was still one game to win to put Kear- ney in undisputed command of the myth- ical State Championship. The Chadron Eagles were the last to con- test Kearney's right to the State crown and a brilliant stand was made by the Eagles. Chadron came to Kearney very much the underdog. Peru had beaten Chadron and Kearney had beaten Peru but, in the final count, that did not mean a thing. Chadron took the kick-off right straight across the goal line of Kearney. The next time Kearney elected to receive and try to avenge the first spree of Chadron. Kearney punted on the second down and again Chadron raced madly for Kearney territory and were not stopped until they had once more crossed the goal line. Kearney then came through with a counter, but one walk across the goal line was all that the Kleinmen could do and Chadron took home the bacon, 13-7. And thus another football season became history. A season which saw Pop Klein's team repeat both the State and Conference Championship; a season which had its share of thrills and spills; a season which will al- ways be remembered by members of the 1942 squad who are now playing on Uncle Sam's team all over the world. morale Boosters...

One of the most military minded organiza- tions on the campus is the college marching band whose maneuvers between halves of fall football games are the result of the three until five Monday, Wednesday, and Friday drill. Color was added to the personnel as mem- bers were issued new uniforms, following army style of G.I. clothes, to commence their year's marching up and down the rectangle- shaped football field. Members followed orders from Virginia Cruson, drum majorette, who was followed by her majorettes, Marian Wardrop and Betty Jo Sell. Preceding the band and the advance guard were members of the color guard, who carried rifles, the school flag, and national flag, Kenneth Mecham, Eileen Reynolds, Betty Ann Wendell, and Howard Naughtin. The pep-band division of the concert band furnished musical spirit for all collegiate pep rallies on campus and off campus. Convo- cation rallies also were carried on with the pep-band in the foreground. Field formations this year reflected the pa- triotic mode as members formed flags and stars and played the marches or fighting songs of marines, navy, and army divisions. Used for the second year in forming forma- tions, were small, self-battery lights which members attached to their caps and lighted as spotlights were darkened on the football field. Immediately following football season, the concert band disbanded and attention was focused on the small pep band which fur- nished music at basketball games. Army band members have nothing on college band members who spent many hours put- ting together a half-hour's drill for football game spectators. ? Page 54 Around table, above . . .

With our college in the army, members of the Young Men's Christian Association would have charge of religious services in the post's chapel. Active not only in re- ligious activities on our campus but also follow well-rounded curriculums are the members of this campus organization. As one of the sponsors of the annual buck- private Marshmallow Sing, held traditional- ly the first week of indoctrination for buck privates, members of the Y.M.C.A. do the heavy end of the preparation as they gather wood and cut sticks for new students to roast marshmallows. This year members were kept from this hard labor by rationing of marshmallows and rain clouds, thus sub- stituting a Candy Sing in the college cafe- teria. Following the annual sing members joined other campus religious organizations to sponsor the November Religious Emphasis Week. Guest speaker for this activity was Dr. Albert Palmer, president of the Chicago Theological Seminary. Cabinets and fac- ulty advisors of the four campus religious clubs were hosts to Dr. Palmer at a noon luncheon during his visit to the college. Outstanding event of the year for mem- bers is the Christmas Carnival. Y.M.C.A. president, Verne Dowers, was crowned by the carnival-goers as 1942 Christmas King, Barnyard Frolics was the carnival skit sponsored by members who turned the Dean of Men’s office into a bam and donned farm clothes to grow their own com in the form of jokes and songs. Membership and cabinet directorship of this men's dub kept one step behind local draft boards. When one member or cabinet director left to go into active service another man filled his position. Faculty advisor for the association this year was Dr. Robertson Strawn. Command- ing officer, until his entrance into the army, Verne Dowers, was assisted in the manage- ment of the club by his aides Bernard Knud- son. second in command; Ralph Shinn, rec- ord keeper; Maurice Knispel, paymaster; and Bob Ridenour, Dean's Council represen- tative.

Future aides to army and navy chaplains are members of the college branch of the Young Woman's Christian Association whose membership is one of the largest on the campus. Meetings of the organization are from seven until eight o'clock every Wednesday evening. A new addition to meetings this year were the fifteen minute vespers, in charge of Eileen Talbot, which preceded the regular meetings. Joining ether religious organizations on the campus, Y.W.C.A. members sponsored the Candy Sing” for buck privates held the first week of indoctrination for buck privates. Immediately following this fun fest members attended the candlelight initialion held early first semester. The tea following initiation services was the wartime substitution for the annual banquet. Members were busy once more in Novem- ber when the college's annual Religious Emphasis Week was held with Dr. Albert W. Palmer, Chicago Theological Seminary president, as guest speaker. December on our campus is automatically connected with the Christmas Carnival which is co-sponsored by Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. Another automatic connection is the Pine Cone Inn ' sponsored by Y.W. members in their club room. Although ra- tioning cut down food variety members used quality to replace quantity as the inn was again sponsored. At the dance in the cafe- teria after carnival fun was over, Y.W. presi- dent Inez Berg became Christmas Queen for 1942. After Christmas activity was the Mother Hull Home basket. Attending the Estes Park Rocky Mountain Regional Conference in 1942 were Marie Refshauge, Carol Johnson, and Willa Scud- der. Chapter directors this year were Inez Berg, president; Carol Johnson, vice-presi- dent; Joan Price, treasurer; and Dorothy Lynn, secretary. Dr. Leona Failor was fac- ulty advisor. Spring election results placed Betty Ann Wendell as president of club activities for next year with Virginia Fisher, vice-presi- dent; Josephine Smith, secretary; and Ilene Refshauge, treasurer.

Iti the army or on the campus choir mem- bers would still be in harmony. Melodies would be the biggest change as the tempo would shift to march-time in keeping the soldiers marching. Wartime conscription of man power caused Mr. Gavin Doughty, choir sponsor, to be the director of an all-girl choir the first semester. Curriculum changes and reserve physical education requirement changes al- lowed a small male section in the choir sec- ond semester. This small section was near- ly eliminated with the call of army air corps reserves and later by the call of army re- serves. Some things remained a traditional part of college life in spite of war clouds. The annual Christmas Vesper was one thing which went on again this year. This candle- light service is traditionally held on the Sun- day preceding dismissal for Christmas vaca- tion in the auditorium of the college. Pre- ceding the processional of choir members two candle-lighters enter to light the tall tapers on the stage. A hush settles over the audience and a song is heard in the hall as members form the candlelight proces- sional down the two auditorium aisles. Small instrumental groups and vocal groups blend into the program and when the last carol is sung and the choir's recessional completed, the two candle-lighters put out the stage candles, and the service is over for another year. Other choir activities included the faculty Christmas program held at Mens Hall. A small division of the main choir sang at the Christmas program of the College Woman's League and at the all-college Christmas Convocation. When spring came to our campus choir members gave a spring concert and sang at a spring convocation period. Page 69 Mm . r , n.w.o.l.—Charles Wilson and H. R.

Duties of the members were routine but method of elec- tion was changed last spring and the 1942- 1943 board members were the first to serve under the new system. Meeting Wednesday evening in the fac- ulty committee room, members were unan- imously conceded to be the busiest business meeting goers in the college as they dis- cussed the continuation of Who's Who ci- tation on the local campus, recreational ac- tivities and Blue and Gold business and edi- torial policies. Council members this year revived the old ruling that persons attending college parties must present a contingent ticket or dean's permit for admittance and went on record as favoring the 18, 19, and 20 year-old sufferage bill in Congress. Activities on the council indoctrination of buck privates included a panel discussion of collegiate customs, green cap sales, a red- white- and-blue scrap drive, Kangaroo Court, ) and a tug of war at the Homecoming Game. Another indoctrination activity of council members was the printing and distribution of the streamlined, patriotic, K book which this year was edited by Louise Calvert and business-managed by Vaughn Larsen. Council sponsorship extended to all-col- lege parties in the gym and cafeteria, a Sa- die Hawkins Day and Dance, Fun Night, Page 70 Student Board of Reuieui... Fif l Row. above , . . Miss Larson.

Pro- ceeds of the Army-Navy-Marine reserve game were used to buy war bonds to be in- vested in Student Union funds. Bonds were also purchased with proceeds from various Victory-dances held in our cafeteria. Leam-to-dance” hour was innauguarated this year by members who also placed into functioning a more all-inclusive recreational program which included numerous rallies, a soldier Christmas greeting edition of The Antelope, and a World Student Service Fund drive. Major activity of the council, which is af- filiated with the National Student Federation of America, was the founding of a Student Union room with administrative approval. The room, foundation of a larger Union, was placed in the recreational room in Mens Hall and equipped with a double soda foun- tain, booths, and facilities for ping-pong and dancing. Another council suggestion was the appointment of a coordinator of college recreational activities to present an all-col- lege recreational schedule, and the duration- discontinuance of the Blue and Gold with contingent funds of the book to be applied 1o the Student Union Fund. When Charles Wilson, vice president, and Dean Marshall, secretary-treasurer were called to other colors, member Vaughn Lar- sen received a promotion to vice-president and Norma Ciochon became secretary- treasurer. Paul Newell, Virginia Fisher. Or- ville Stoddard, Ruth Mastalka, and Jean Reid Taylor replaced Louise Calvert, Ralph Nelson, H. R. Brockett, and Keith Johnson as they were called to active duty. In the ser- vice during the entire year were president Marie Refshauge; sponsors, Dr. Lyle Mantor and Miss Minnie Larson, and representa- tives, Vivienne Beck, Bob Chesnut, Gerald Gruber, Dean Nicholson, Wayne Smithey, llene Refshauge, and Betty Ann Wendell. Again using the proportional represen- tation system of voting, students voted this spring to have Ruth Beaver succeed Marie Refshauge as school president. New vice- president is Darrell Sheets while the new representativs at large include Jeanne Bar- ber, Vivienne Beck, James Faris, Jewell Gil- pin, Opal Griffith, Maurice Knispel, Virginia Throckmorton, llene Refshauge, Bob Riden- our, and Betty Ann Wendell. r Page 71 j J -VV- -.-; Commissioned Communicators...

They have been through the minor English ranks, entered major ranks, and have come out with commissions in English. Promotion of better literary development among members of the local chapter and other college students is the main purpose of the organization which has numerous branches on the nation's college campuses. Invitations to become members are is- sued the first of each college semester to English majors and minors whose scholastic average meets national requirements. Fol- lowing candlelight initiation services, new members wear red and black pledge rib- bons and go through a period of pledgeship before becoming active members. Two traditional activities of the Sigma Tau Delta membership are the publication of the campus literary magazine. The Antler, which contains writings of students enrolled in our college, and the annual Freshman Essay Contest which is held at the beginning of second semester for all freshmen. Essays are read by the writers at a reg- ular meeting of the members of the organ- ization and members vote on the first and second place essay. This year's meeting was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Ryan with first place awarded Margaret Sigman and second place went to Elaine Hansen. First place metal is awarded by the organization and second place metal is awarded by Mr. Ryan. Both essays ap- peared in The Antler. 1943 Antler editor was Kathleen Atwood and business man- ager was Nannette Noyes. Another traditional event of the club is the annual spoonbread breakfast given in the spring for members by Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Ryan and daughter, Zelda Jeanne. Officers for this year were Doris Eck, president; Kathleen Atwood, vice-president; Verne Dowers, first semester secretary; Jack Hart, first semester treasurer; Virginia Hen- line, second semester secretary; and Dor- othy Holcomb, second semester treasurer.

Wartime restrictions this year kept the de- baters of the fraternity either on the campus in local meets, or within a radius of one day's traveling. A one-man team debate tournament, in- tramural, was the main activity of the club first semester. Winning man debater, Vaughn Larsen, opposed co-winners of the women's division, Virginia Throckmorton and Lucille Wiley, in a convocation debate. Gold cups were awarded the three winners by Pi Kappa Delta president, Virginia Hen- line. Another first semester activity was the September banquet at which Charlene Han- sen. Charles Hamm, Bertrand Gibbons, Ger- ald Gruber, and Wayne Smithey were for- mally initiated as members. Second semester pledge invitations were given Jeanne Barber, Lloyd Baysdorfer, Evelyn Lengkeek, Virginia Throckmorton, Lucille Wiley, and Marcene Bailey. In March local chapter members were hosts to the Pi Kappa Delta Provincial tour- nament on the campus. Charles Hamm and Lloyd Baysdorfer were eliminated in the semi-finals of the tournament by a team from McPherson, Kansas, after the pair had gone six rounds without a defeat. Cabinet members this year were Virginia Henline, president; Wayne Smithey, vice- president, and Gerald Gruber, secretary- treasurer. Dr. Robertson Strawn replaced Mr. J. D. Hansen as fraternity sponsor when Mr. Hansen left mid-term to do his doctorate work at Iowa University. Page 73 First How, above , . , Miss Hosic.

Commissioned translators of our college chapter of the national honorary language French fraternity, Beta Pi Theta, are pictured on the first row in the panel of pictures on this page. Translators who are in training for their commissions in translating are pic- tured on the second and third row. Meetings of the Beta Pi Theta members are conducted in French with records of the club also kept in the French language. Club conversations are held about customs and culture of the home country, with members reporting on the current war relationship be- tween our country and the French nation. Meetings of the Le Cercle Francais are not conducted in the French language but an attempt to tie up English terms and French terms is made by the officers in charge of the third Tuesday monthly meetings. Beta Pi Theta members who directed the 1943 club activities were Jeanne Mallory, president; Lawrence Ludden, vice-president; Dale Anderson, secretary; and Ralph Nel- son, treasurer. Le Cercle Francais leaders included Car- roll Voss, president; and Darrell Sheets, sec- retary-treasurer. 1 i Page 74 Finn Row. right . . . Mr. Doughty. Me. C r- ny, Kailile. Atwood.

Entirely new is the membership of the mu- sical morale club division of our campus. Apollonians organized September 30, 1942, and took their organization's name from Apollo, the Greek God ol music. Chosen as sponsors were members of the music de- partment staff. First part of the year was spent organizing as a committee was appointed to draw up the constitution, later voted upon and adopted. The first and third Wednesdays of the month were meeting dates set by the members who meet at member's homes. Meetings of this year have consisted mainly of a study of the lives of famous composers and listening to recordings of their works. Another feature of the meet- ings were the musical games and quizes. First member to be called into active ser- vice was Pete Patterson, called by mem- bers the philosophical violinist. Following Pete into service were Alexander Carson and Glen Luce. Donald Hutchins and Mr, and Mrs. Harold Cerny left later in the year. Club pins were designed following a theme suggested by the Fourth movement of Brahm’s First Symphony. Miss Josephine McPherson gave a Valen- tine's party for members in February where recordings of Peter and the Wolf and Irving Berlin's This is the Army were played. Betty Jeanne Lancaster gave a St. Patrick's party for the club in March when members played hosts to two lieutenants from the air base. Climaxing the year's activities was the winning of the first prize award by Tiny Behrens and her Band, which was spon- sored by Apollonians, at the March Fun Night. Personnel of the cabinet this year in- cluded Phyllis Behrens, president; Betty Jeanne Lancaster, vice-president; and Rol- and Hinrichs, secretary-treasurer. IHusic morale... Page 75 JANUARY . . .

In physical fitness training long before they leave the college campus are members of the college K Club. Promotion of clean sportsmanship in col- lege athletic activities is the main objective of the membership of this club. Highlight of the year's activities is the sponsorship of the annual K Club dance, which is considered to be among the leading social events of the college season. This year's dance was held January 1, 1943, in the college gymnasium with music by Dave Haun and his orchestra. Active members and alumni, with Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Klein, form a Grand March pre- ceding the cornation. Pop Klein acted as master of ceremonies. The slip of paper with Jeanne Barber's name was pulled from an envelope by Klein who in turn presented 1943's Most Representative Man Paul Ne- well to the audience. Leading the Cor- nation Dance were the newly crowned roy- alty. K Club membership is limited to college men who have earned, following a set point- system, enough points to enable them to earn the athletic K. This point system is based on playing quarters in football and basketball; points in track; and wins in golf. Officers of this year's K club included Paul Newell, president; Lloyd McCullough, vice-president; and DeWayne Stemper, sec- retary-treasurer.

Former students and alum- ni in uniforms of the four armed branches visited our campus on furloughs; farewells were said to induction order receivers and welcomes were extended to two foreign- born students; and leaves were granted male instructors to enter active service. Page 85 • 0 newspaper Diuision Our college on an army basis places college publications in the public relations corps and the college newspaper, The Antelope, is the newspaper division. Our college newspaper is student edited, the staff being responsible only to the student pub lications board which serves as a counseling body. Policies of The Antelope are set up by the student staff. As it did to every department in our college the war brought many changes to the college newspaper. Despite wartime regulation the paper came out each Friday of the school term with the latest campus news. The male staff members of the first semester Antelope joined the navy, army, and marines while new staff members Doris Eck, Bill Beh- rends, Willa Scudder, Jeanne Barber and Helen Richards joined the staff. Business staff mem- bership changed when Ruth Bachman became second semester business manager of The Blue and Gold and her assistant Nannette Noyes assumed her newspaper position with Helen Seybold joining the business staff as assistant. Promotion of several college events kept staff members busy outside their writing duties. In October the staff conducted a one-day drive to increase Zip Club uniform funds. In No- vember the editors, business manager and Mr. C. T. Ryan attended the Associated Collegiate Press Convention in Chicago. February found members co-sponsoring the Oscar Din- ner with the Fine Arts department. Another staff event the December edition, Greetings to NSTCers in the Service at Christmas Time, was co-sponsored by Student Council members. The Antelope is sent free of charge to any NSTC boy and girl in the service.

Every lime the battlefront of allied troops changed, the staff of the annual division of the public relations corps changed. In the summer of 1942, editor Bob Chesnut, business manager Dorothy Holcomb and ad- visor Dr. Mary Morse went to Lincoln to lay the foundation for the 1943 book. Early in the first semester Dr. Morse left the college faculty, Bob found his med-school studies time-taking, and Dorothy Holcomb became editor with Bob Atwater as business manager. Wayne Webb replaced Clarence Lierly as staff photographer when Lierly was called to active air corps duly, and Dr, Lyle Mantor succeeded Dr. Morse as advisor. Induction orders early in second semester took Ireshman class editor John Jacobson to the metrology division and feature editor Verne Dowers to the medical corps. Class editors still remaining were Emily Hanzel, succeeding freshman class editor, Ruth Bachman, soph- omore; Norma Ciochon, junior class; and Marie Refshauge, senior class. , . . call—Joining; other nrniy reserves in their call Wayne Webb, staff photographer, shows the staff camera to- his successor Rill Bunch, . . . meeting—Page lay-outs anef write-ups are inspected by sec- ond semester business manager, Ruth Bachman; sport editors.

Page 87 Diurnal Division March call of army reserves removed Bob Atwater as business manager and Wayne Webb as photographer. Replacing them were Ruth Bachman and Bill Burtch. A staff revision placed class editors on the staff as associate editors. Members of the third staff of the year spent February, March, and the first part of April, compiling club panels, writups for organiza- tions, studying page lay-outs, and putting the copy in the hands of the printer and book binder to finish the book for distribution in May. The 1943 khaki-clad Blue and Gold is the work of two editors, three business managers, two advisors, a Student Council committee, three sets of staff membership, and numerous students on the campus who typed member- ship lists and identified pictures. From this staff of some fifty members, the 1943 Blue and Gold reaches you despite war- time rationing of film, flash bulbs, and labor shortages. This last-book-for-the-duration is an attempt to give the members of our college now in the service a record of what their college back on the home-front does while they are at war. FEBRUARY ... Members of Congress debated the Ed Flynn appointment to Australia; our college debaters debated at the Hastings tour- nament and seniors went on an educational trip. Oscars were awarded faculty members and students; the Marines opened their ranks to women and Anthony Eden paid a visit to the White House. Alrica battles were fought with equipment paid for by our War Stamp Show. I f - i Q - Placing our college in the army would put members of Xi Phi as officers in training. Xi Phi is a national honorary fraternity whose purpose is to promote scholarship and leadership among its members and other stu- dents. Membership is taken from junior and senior class members who are outstanding in scholarship and leadership. A point system is used in ranking students to issue invitations to membership. Following acceptance of invitations to mem- bership, an initiation service is held for pledges. After the services are held, pledges follow traditional pledge duties which include the carrying of an I am a Xi Phi Pledge sign to classes for a set period of time. Another traditional pledge duty is the bringing of ap- ples for class instructors. Another traditional event for members of Xi Phi is the annual awarding of the Xi Phi Sophomore Award. This scholarship award is given on Honor Day to the high scholastic ranking sophomore. An alternate and honor- able mention are also made. Officers of the Gamma chapter in Kearney for the 1943 season included Barbara Hinter- long, president; Virginia Henline, vice-presi- dent; Lois Huffstutter, secretary; and Kathleen Atwood, treasurer.

Members of the Academy of Math and Science are in training as aides to chemical corps members and under a new set-up this year, chemical corps mem- bers sponsored the organization. Members of the two organizations took turns getting the programs for meetings with Lambda Delta Lambda members open- ing the season with a Drink Demonstration which was uneventful barring a few minor burns, singed eyebrows, and flying bullets, lust in time to make certain term papers was the demonstration on plastics. When the experiment turned into a tarry substance members had an idea that they had stumbled upon a solution to the current rub- ber problem, therefore, a third program was based on rubber. Academy of Math and Science members took over at the next meeting and explained magic squares, drew cordiods and lemnis- cates. The annual science banquet, with Dr. Leo M. Christensen, director of the Che- murgy Project for Nebraska, as guest speak- er was the next event. An annual boating outing on Cotton mill Lake took place at the meeting following the banquet meeting. Officers of Lambda Delta Lambda this year were Verla Worthing, first semester president; Bill Shafer, second semester presi- dent;; Bill Harrison, vice-president; and Neal Dunning, secretary. Members of the Acad- emy of Math and Science elected Neal Dun- ning president; Doris Anderson, vice-presi- dent; Bob Polski, first semester secretary and Bob Ridenour, second semester secretary. Lambda Delta Lambda sponsor is Dr. Fox and Miss Hanthorn is Academy sponsor. Page 91 .1 S'j First Row. .'hove . . „ Mr , linjicn, Mirgarel Brown. Ruth Rrown, Elva Hardy. Dorothy Jameson.

Completion of basic stenographic training has entitled the members of Pi Omega Pi, national honorary fraternity for commercial teachers, to commissions in commerce. Membership is limited to commercial stu- dents making a set scholastic average in commercial subjects. This year's activities included social meetings at the home of members and learning how to play bridge. Fraternity leaders for the year were Dor- othy Jameson, president; Alma Leth, secre- tary; and Vesta Moschel, historian reporter. Faculty advisor was Mrs. Ethel Boasen. In their well equipped club room on the third floor of the ad building, Catholic Club mem- bers met on Wednesday evenings to alter- nate religious instruction meetings with so- cial gatherings. Giving religious instruc- tions to the group this year was Father Tschida. Leaders of the club this year were Bob Polski and Robert Kennedy, presidents; Ag- nes Vosburg, v i c e-p resident; Dorothy Schmitz, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Cerny, sponsor.

WHITE n.i.R.R. Champions... With the best team that has ever represented Kearney on the basketball court, the Antelopes turned in an impressive record this year. For the first time in eighteen years, Kearney won the N.I.A.A. Conference Championship and by virtue of this fete received an invitation to the National Intercollegiate Tournament at Kansas City, thus becoming the first team to represent Kearney in a national tournament. As a result of a mid-season slump the Antelopes failed to annex the State Crown but came up in Iheir closing games to be a strong contender. Lloyd McCollough, high scoring center, was named on both the All-State and All-Conference team besides being rated the No. 1 player on the Antelope squad. On the All-Conference team Kearney was well represented, filling three of the five positions, Dick Peterson—guard, Dean Nichalson—forward, and Lloyd McCullough- center. The Anielope Cagers opened the season by going into Bronco territory and giving Hastings a sound thrashing to the tune of 63-27. This set the Kearney fans and student body talking. Kearney is going to have the best team they ever had, etc., in fact they talked it so strong , . , Mretch—Two Wayne lo.un members Attempt to the ball from going into possession cf Lloyd McCul lough and Holland Moore. that the team evidently began to believe it. Exactly one week later the tables were re- versed and our Antelopes became the victims of a strong Fort Hays, Kansas five, 67-25. Our boys received a dose of their own medicine and still kept their state chart clean of losses. Ail eyes focused on the coming state college tournament which was to be oriented in Hast- ings. As a conditioner for this tournament of tournaments Kearney journeyed to Crete to tangle with Doane College and after a game that saw the lead change as often as the ball was shot. Kearney was on the bottom side of a 51-47 score. Now the chips were down. In competition they had chalked but one victory against two losses and no more chances to get even before tourney time. Kearney drew Doane for their first round opponent and accomplished two tasks in their first tournament game. In the first place, they made known their bid for the championship and in the second place, they avenged the de- feat o fthe week before by beating Doane, 42- 31. This victory entitled them to play another first round winner the next night, Nebraska Wesleyan. The Antelopes were not to be stop- ped and they qualified for the championship round by dropping Wesleyan, 39-31. It became Kearney and Wayne fighting it out for the championship and three nights in a row proved too much as Kearney took second place by vir- tue of a 51-43 beating at the hands of Wayne. The schedule now rolled around to the first con- ference game of the season and with big Ike McCullough showing the way it turned out to be a first conference win for Kearney, 57-53. The next night the team dropped into Lincoln for a tilt with Nebraska Wesleyan, but the trip and two night games in succession again proved fatal as the Methodists took the long end of a 42-34 score. Now for the thriller of the year as York invaded Antelope territory. This proved to be a wild scoring affair and when the game finally ended after an extra period it was disclosed that there had been 157 points scored in the 45 minutes of playing time as Kearney eeked out an 80-77 victory. Sparked by the 42 points of Lloyd McCullough and the outstanding defensive play of Bob Lewis and Dick Peterson, the Antelopes had accomplished something that not many other teams could do —beat York. Again a dark cloud came sailing over and put a hole in Kearney's chances for the state championship. At Wayne the Whiz- zerites were defeated 55-45 and the next week York showed Kearney the way, 70-63. Once more things looked blue but one thing was still in sight. That was the conference crown. Peru was the first contender to stand between Kear- ney and that crown. A 77-59 victory over Peru gave Kearney but one more victory to gain that championship. The weel of fortune was turning again and it stopped pointing at Kear- ney. White's men trampled Doane, 69-45; humbled a Kearney Air Base five, 56-49 and 73-37. Then came the game of the year—the deciding factor in the N.I.A.A. Conference race. Wayne had beaten Kearney and Peru once in season play, Peru had beaten Wayne once and Kearney had beaten Peru twice. So it was th championship battle when Wayne invaded Kearney that evening. With the gym packed to capacity, the Antelopes fought it out to a victorious 64-50. The pressure was off and when Wesleyan came here for the last home game of th season it was with little excitement that Kearney dropped them 56 to 40. As for the trip to Kansas City and the Na- tional Intercollegiate Tournament little can be said. In their first and only game in the tour- nament Kearney met Pepperdine College from California. Our boys displayed some very fine basketball but not quite fine enough as they went under, 50-45. So it goes without saying that 1942-1943 was an eventful season. Whether it was a result of the excellent coaching and long hours of preparation by Coach Clif White or some other factor is hard to say. One thing can be said with certainty—there will never be an- other team like the 1943 squad who chalked up 1024 points against 926 for opponents in 19 games and finished the season with 7 losses and 12 wins.

Meat rationing found us with more meatless'1 days this month as Pi Kappa members were hosts to other chapters in a tournament meet. Official arrival of spring brought us out in non- rationed shoes as shoe rationing went into effect. We put on our Fun Night while Martha Raye, Kay Francis, and Carol Landis put on shows for the men at the front. Reserves left and we registered for food ration books. y First Row, left . . .

With the Dean in the personnel division, members of his Men's Council would be personnel aides. Chosen by ballot from men enrolled in the college and campus organizations, person- nel aides are in direct charge of Men's League activities and other activities con- cerning the college's male population. Wartime call to military service of college men enlarged aide activities this year as programs and entertainment for men called to service were arranged. Enlistment in re- serve curriculums eliminated conference time and thus much of actual carrying out of plans remained to be done by aides. Membership in the council changed monthly. The March call of the reserves removed H. R. Brockets Hans Chorpenningi Robert Atwater, Robert Kennedy, and the president, Lloyd Mcullough. Replacing these members were Paul Newell, Wayne McKinney, and Bill Batterton. Also leaving in March was Craig Sigmon, who entered medical school in Omaha. Activities of the members this year in- cluded a chili feed in February honoring all boys called to the service that month. The annual business men and college men picnic was held this year in Harmon Park. Officers in the council this year were Lloyd McCullough, president; Wayne Smithey, vice-president; Robert Lewis, sec- retary; and Gerald Gruber, treasurer. ) Page 98 First Raw, «bovr . . , t)rin Kelly, Ruth Bjchnun, l.yiid.ill Rrdiih, Nnfmj Ciodiah, Aleut Cl.ilU .

Women’s Personnel Hides... Putting the Deans in the army placed them in the personnel division. While Dean Nich- olas sent men to the army, Dean Kelly su- pervised ihe morale of the girls they left be- hind. Members of the Women's Council became personnel aides with similar rank- ing to men s personnel aides. This year's Women’s League theme, adopted and put into effect during Decem- ber, was Civies—Civies Incorporate for Vic- tory, Following this theme league members attended a Christmas program in December where Evelyn Lengkeek read the story be- hind various Christmas Carols while the small choir sang Ihe melody. The part 1 can do in the work at the USO center in Kearney was the topic dis- cussed at the January USO and I meeting of members when Mrs. Verna Rensvold and Lyndall Bedish spoke. Jean Reid Taylor presented a program on Charm in February which was followed in March by a celebration of St. Patrick's Day under the chairmanship of Ilene Refshauge and which included a variety program ol Irish songs and stories. Ardelle Kennedy and Wanda Keyser gave co-eds a preview of Easter styles in their Easter Parade” at the April meeting. Spring elections in April selected league of- ficers for next year. May brought the an- nual Mother's Day program. Other annual events were the style show held first se- mester and the loan fund of the league which is made possible by the membership dues. Membership in Woman's League con- sists of ever girl enrolled in college. Leaders in the League this year included Norma Ciochon, president; Josephine Smith, vice-president; Ardelle Kennedy, secretary; and Virginia Throckmorton, treasurer.

Gall of Army Reserves... On the morning of February 22, 1943, Wash- ington's Birthday, all our instructors read an announcement asking all army reserves to please report to room 202 at two o'clock this afternoon for an important meeting. If any army reserve has a class at this hour, attend the meeting first. Dean Nicholas, . . . called—'Army reimo called in March, left 10 right, included Bob Atwater. Bernard Richter, Neil Jim kin.

Rumors fast and furious spread over the campus and talk was loud and long. At two o'clock silence spread over the ad building as the army reserves filed into 202. Inside the room, Dean Nicholas smiled and said, ' Well, fellows, this is it. Thus, ihe army reserves of our college were notified fo report to Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, for induc- tion into active service. Page WO Kitchen quartermasters... First Row, right . . . Mrs, Dunlavy, Miss Hnorht, Johanna An- dmon. M.n ion Becker.

Club members this year carried out the theme The Challenge in its club program. Opening the fall program was a picnic in Har- mon Park at which freshman home ecnomic students were guests. At a later meeting thirty new members were initiated at candle light services. A travelogue by a former missionary to Korea featured the October meeting. A No- vember Christmas work-shop was held for the November meeting which also featured a talk on Porto Rico by Evaline Kealiher, The December meeting found members ex- changing gifts, listening to seasonal music, and a discussion of the Share the Meat Program by Miss Louise Anderson, member of the Na- tional Live Stock and Meat Board. In January members did Red Cross work at their meeting. Mabel Gilkeson crowned Victory Sweet- heart at the February Victory buffet supper and guest speaker, Miss Ruth Kelly, read White Cliffs of Dover while Barbara Hinter- long read Mrs. Gail F. Powell's Prayer for Peace. March, April, and May found members dis- cussing war work, talents, hobbies, recog- nizing senior members, electing next year's of- ficers, and holding a farewell picnic in Harmon Park. Home Economic club officers for this year included Mabel Gilkeson, president; Alice Jeanne Dunlavy Hennis, vice-president; Bar- bara Lantz, secretary; Jewell Gilpin, treasurer; and Inez Berg, reporter.

Wartime physical fitness programs are nothing new to members of the Womans Athletic As- sociation of our campus. Members of the girls physical education de- partment sponsored club have met on Monday evenings for a well rounded physical program before the present all out for sports call. The Monday evening meetings featured participa- tion in various campus sports. Meetings were varied by stunt night acts and swimming pool splashes. In addition to regular meetings, members planned special activities. Fall months found the members going on hikes. Rain did not stop them as one hike went on as scheduled despite rain clouds. Guest speaker at a winter meeting of the organization was WAAC Lt. Kathleen Lee who spoke on Activities and Requirements of the WAACs. Early in the spring WAA members played hosts to faculty wives and women faculty members in an All Sports Night. Guests participated in a series of outdoor games be- fore going inside for badminton, shuffleboard, tennis, and volleyball. A new addition to this all sports night was the division given to folk dancing. Refreshments were served by club members to guests. Leading WAA activities this year were Elizabeth Lovell, first semester president; Sarah McMichael, second semester president; Grace Meline, recording secretary; Lilac Leone Lew- is, corresponding secretary; and fannette Cox, treasurer. Faculty advisor was Mrs. Verna Rensvold. Page 102 Intramurals... In addition to regular gym classes and ex- tra-curricular sports, men enrolled in our college organized the intramural athletic system of physical fitness activity. Based on the round robin system, the in- tramural system was divided into teams each with a student manager. The student manager is responsible for his team's ap- pearance and also for team schedules. By matching team against team on a matched play scale, the championship team in vari- ous campus sports is crowned. . . . Cals and Bull Dog —LdVern Hutchins. Leonard Peterson.

Smoke, coke, and joke are three things all college students do at one time or another. Friendships formed in collegiate surround- ings are lasting friendships. Studious mo- ments are alternated with joyous moments in the life of a college co-ed or fellow. This is what makes college what it is. . . . friendship —'Students doing part-time work at the State Industrial School, Hill-Top Boys.” get together before being separated by service calls to have a family portrait made.

In conference once a month to discuss fra- ternity and sorority business are members of the inter-fraternity-sorority council. The five social organizations on our campus are represented by one member each and the organization presidents who meet with a laculty advisor. Purpose of the council is to promote a better spirit of cooperation among the social organizations on our campus, to regulate rushing of the groups, and to settle disputes and problems of the Greek letter clubs. Each semester the inier-fraternity-sorority council presents a scholarship plaque to the high ranking sorority and fraternity. Per- manent possession of the scholarship plaques, secured by winning the quaque a certain amount of times in succession, was secured this year by members of the Zeta Chi Alpha sorority and the Phi Tau Gamma fraternity. Following the enlistment of the first se- mester faculty advisor, Mr. Roland Welch, Mr. William Nicholas became council ad- visor. Fraternity and sorority members may rush only students who have com- pleted nine hours of collegiate work with an average of C, may have only one rush party, and other rush rules are formulated by council members. Social organization members held their fourth annual Inter-Fraternity-Sorority Dance in the Crystal Ballroom ol the Fort Kearney Hotel in February. First semester officers included Vivienne Beck, president; Eleanor Curry, vice-presi- dent; Lois Huffstutter, secretary; and Dean Marshall, treasurer. Serving second semes- ter were Vivienne Beck, president; Ralph Nelson, vice-president; Lois Huffstutter, sec- retary; and Gerald Gruber, treasurer.

((The Sigma Theta Phi sorority page is tradi- tionally written by an active sister to her alumni sister. This year Eileen Talbot, third year generation sister, writes to her sisters, Audrey and Romona.) It is just as you said it would be . . pink and white, friendship, happiness, loyalty, sincerity, intelligence, fellowship, and higher aspera- tions. Eight years of training became real- ities this year as I went through the same things you said I would. Our meetings this year were so full of va- riety that nothing grew stale: the cultural meet- ing at Lois Huffstulter's when Miss Smith told us Best Books to Read; the cafeteria meeting with Miss Smith as hostess and Miss Enochs discussing Style and Carriage; the meeting at Dryden's with Lynn Bedish as hostess and Mrs. Verna Rensvold telling us of our coming part in USO Center Activities; the Case Hall meeting with the Dorm Girls as hostesses and the reading of The White Cliffs of Dover by Miss Kelly; and the showers and farewell parties for Wynona Worley Randolph, Gladys Carter and Eleanor Curry. Another series of events were the rush par- ties. First semester we went to Mexico in our decorations and Zelda Jeanne Ryan danced at our Mexican Fiesta. Second semester our rushees went to a Valentine buffet supper. Pledgeship is so much fun—for actives. We took it easy while pledges cleaned our rooms, shined our shoes, and wore big pink and white ribbons. Then pledges became actives as we dressed in our formals for formal initiation ser- vices. Wartime restrictions canceled our for- mal dances but we put on our best dresses and held our semester dances in white and silver and springtime atmospheres. Leading our sorority activities this year were Lois Hufistutter, president; Virginia Throck- moton, vice-president; Ethel Pederson, secre- tary; Ruth Brown, treasurer; Ruth Bachman, reporter; Eleanor Curry and Dorothy Holcomb, rush chairmen and inter-fraternity-sorority council members.

Symbols of the Juanita sorority—golden ar- row, yellow tea rose, yellow and white pledge pins, eggs, scholarship, leadership and friendship—were carried through this year's sorority activities. First semester started out rather color- less' as pledges attended classes and campus activities with no make-up and no hair pins. Other first semester activities of Juanita members included a rush breakfast, a preference dinner, two informal dances, informal initiation, formal pledge tea, lor- mal initiation, and a farewell breakfast for Miss Dorothy McCall, sponsor who left the college for the west coast. Highlight of the first semester Holly Ball was the crowning of Louise Calvert as Holly Queen. Scholas- tic roses were awarded to Leota Davidson, Grace Meline, Phyllis Campbell, and Jewell Gilpin for high pledgeship scholastic stand- ing while Helen Richards received the Jua- nita pin for the best pledge song. Second semester pledges followed a sim- ilar routine as followed by first semesler pledges. Second semester activities in- cluded another round of dinner, parties, ini- tiations, bridal showers, and a Mother- Daughter Tea. Cabinet membership of the sorority changed many times this year as marriages and change of positions took members away from the campus. Taking Miss Mc- Call's sponsorship second semester was Miss Lolus Porter. Other officers included Louise Calvert Marshall, Jean Reid Taylor, Jewell Gilpin, president; Jean Reid Taylor, vice-president; Inez Berg, secretary; Dorothy Anderson, Jewell Gilpin, Ardelle Kennedy, treasurer. Juanita leaders on the campus this year were Inez Berg, Y.W. president; Alice Jeanne Dunlavy Hennis, State Home Economics As- sociation President; Louise Calvert Mar- shall, K book editor; Louise Calvert Marshall and Alice Jeanne Dunlavy Hennis, Xi Phi members; Doris Eck, Sigma Tau Delta presi- dent, Who's Who, Antelope editor.

High Scholarship... High scholarship became the by-word for Zeta Chi Alpha members this year as the permanent possession of the Inter-fraternity- sorority Council scholarship plaque was awarded the members this year. September rush party activities found members at the Midway Hotel with Ilva Jean Newth as mistress of ceremonies. Fol- lowing the first semester preference dinner, pledgeship began for new pledges. Informal initiation was held in the form of A Night at the Circus with first prize going to fat man Sarah Simms. Under the pledge presidentship of Vir- ginia Cruson, pledges wore traditional black and white ribbons, went to classes without make-up, and carried wooden ZY' for ac- tives to sign. A Halloween party at Case Hall was given actives by pledges where actives answered for wrongs before Judge Cruson whose sentences included bobbing for apples. Actives formed a paddle ma- chine for pledges at informal initiation. As guests of their sponsors, Dr. Leona Failor and Mrs. Edna Nigh, Zetas met for a Christmas breakfast in the faculty dining room of Men's Hall. Following an exchange of gifts, members attended church. Janu- ary found members Snow-Ball —ing as their annual winter dance was held at the Fort Kearney Hotel followed by a buffet sup- per. Second semester rushees were guests of actives at a theatre party and supper. Sec- ond semester preference dinner decorations followed the Valentine theme with social chairmen Virginia Cruson and Melba Carl- son in charge of arrangements. In spite of food rationing, members held their annual Dagwood Dance second semester. Outstanding Zetas this year included Mary Runner, Xi Phi member; Sarah Mc- Michael, Zip Queen, Who's Who, Xi Phi; Alma Leth, Lutheran Club president. Zip Club president, Who's Who; and Vivienne Beck, Inter-fratemity-sorority Council presi- dent. Page 112 First Row, below . . .

(To all Caledonian members now in the ser- vice is this letter to Robert Atwater, army reserve called in March, by his fraternity son. Bill Burtch.) This year has been one a bit different from ones when you and those who are now a member of a bigger brotherhood were here. We had our Bowery Ball this year com- plete with a shot-gun wedding, derbies, can-can dresses, and Sloppy Joe's Hitch. We also had our pledge swing sessions, giving pledges a taste of Cal mathematics, and had pledge prayers to Allah. At this year’s Christmas Carnival, Don Weiland showed his campus motion pictures. Because of the call of so many of our members, this year we elected a correspond- ing secretary to keep you posted on frater- nity and campus happenings. This year we elected Mr. Gavin Doughty to sponsorship; he and our president. Dean Marshall, set the fraternity to rolling first semester. Our rush party was a theatre party followed by a feed in the Blue and Gold room of the Rainbow Cafe where eighteen preferences met one week later for the preference dinner. Other first semester officers were Wayne Smithey, treasurer, and Bob Atwater, secretary. Second se- mester these offices were assumed by Don Kine and Bill Burtch. Later, Leonard Peter- son took over the treasurer position. Campus honors went to Cal members Paul Newell, football, Most Representative Man; Mike Shada and Verle Stucker, foot- ball; Don Maline, basketball; Jack Hart and Bill Behrends, Antelope sports editors; Wayne Smithey, Who's Who, Junior class president; and Robert Atwater, Blue and Gold business manager. Taking Dean Mar- shall's place second semester as president was Gerald Gruber. Well, Bob, that just about does it.

(To all Phi Tau Gamma members in the ser- vice is this letter to Ralph Nelson by his president successor, Skeets Nicholson.) How is the army life treating you, fellow? The armed forces have really cleaned the boys out of school but we are still carrying out our fraternity aims and ideals. We made a service flag lor you fellows. The 54 stars on it now are growing rapidly as more enter the service. Joining you sec- ond semester was sponsor Durfee Larson whose place was taken by Harvey Ritter. Fourteen fellows pledged first semester and eleven the second semester. First se- mester officers were Charles Wilson, presi- dent; Ralph Nelson, vice-president; Clarence Lierly, secretary; and Orville Stoddard, treasurer. Second semester started with Ralph Nelson, president; Dean Nicholson, vice-president; George Kotsiopulos, secre- tary; Maurice Knispel, treasurer. War va- cancies placed Dean Nicholson in as presi- dent and Keith Cottrell as vice-president. First semester we danced to Lloyd Hunter and his orchestra in the Crystal Ballroom of the Fort Kearney Hotel. Lt, Neil Holmes and Cpl. Herman Kersenbrock were home on fur- lough and talked to us. Campus honors went to Phi Tau members Verne Dowers, Antelope editor, YM presi- dent, Who's Who, Christmas King; Charles Wilson, vice-president Student Council; Ralph Nelson, Who's Who, Student Council; Bob Lewis, all-state basketball team; Lloyd McCullough, Mens Hall president. Mens League president, basketball honors; Bob Polski, Catholic Club president; Bill Lang, sophomore secretary-treasurer; Bob Chesnut Who's Who, Student Council; and H. R. Brockett, Student Council.

Last fall the adviser left to accept a position else- where; the authorities supplied a new moral supporter. Last fall the editor decided to enter med school; he relinquished his berth to the business man- ager. Last fall the new business manager took over; this spring he answered the call of the Army reserves. This spring another business manager was duly appointed. Add rationing of film, scarcity of copper and zinc, and a de- ficit to these staff shake-ups, and you have the story of editing the annual for 1942-43.
