- Cl Joe Comes home Forthcoming events cast a shadow. We knew when he left that he would return. We stood on the steps and waited, watching to see who would be first and then who would be next, wondering if it would be someone whom we knew. Far down the avenue we saw him coming. He paused at the gateposts and we stood breathlessly, visualizing the campus as it must look to him who had been gone. The broad front walk was still canopied with stately trees, we knew, and the gray stone walls of the administration building where we stood were, as always, thickly covered with vines. We wondered if to him it would be the same. $1111 ... •V i JtifcSwJ Yi He grew nearer and his shadow falling on the walk foretold a full future. He was home and his return meant taking on new things where old ones had left off. It meant the transformation of greatly modified college life back into the progressive security of normal campus activity. We were eager to show him what plans we had made for our postwar college. We wanted him to know that he was the determining factor in whatever we had visualized and that our plans constituted only a tentative foresight of things which depended on him for realization. It was his world and our world together, and his school and our school. That was the way we wanted it to be. He stood beside us on the steps and j watched together. We waited but the;; now and we knew that so.j p [. Page 2 not grieve the past but would let its loss be the founda- tion of our new maturity and the cornerstone in our build- ing for a better world. Page 3 WE WILL NOT FORGET ii VC rtCHBEftS °o We went inside then, and the future began. Before us was the first and foremost object of our planning. Here was essentially something waiting for him which he had not left behind. Wonderingly, he walked forward into the spa- cious hall and stood gazing at the miniature building which occupied the major part of the front entrance. We waited in the background while he adjusted himself to the unexpected change and came to understand its sig- nificance. There were no words we could say which would better express the purpose of the white - walled booth than those which read, To show their sincere appreciation for the great sacrifices which this college's men and women have made in this war, the students of the Nebraska State Teachers College at Kearney established the Buck-a-Month Club in 1945 to help build a useful memorial for both the living and the dead —a memorial which will honor the past but yet build for 1 the future. Looking up at the pictured faces of his bud- dies who would not return, he agreed that here was an incomparably worthwhile beginning for a new life.

Page 9 m ia x This, the proposed plan for the Student Union Memorial, a building to be constructed on the campus of the Nebraska State Teachers College at Kearney in memory of yesterday and in an- ticipation of tomorrow. WE GIVE YO ' mm SPONSORED BY THE STUDENT GOVERNING ASSOCIATION OF THE NEBRASKA STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT KEARNEY NEVA JANE HARRIS Editor-in-Chief HILDA LOLA Business Manager Faculty members wished many times for a well-equipped place of their own where they might meet and com- fortably hold their conferences. It was like looking in a crystal ball when tentative plans for the Student Union Memorial building revealed the promise of just such a fulfillment of their need. Page 16 Page 17 ABLE ADMINISTRATORS PLAN, DIRECT POLICIES Most of the students on the campus aspire to go up in the world. If they follow the example of their leader and president, Her- bert L. Cushing, they should succeed, for President Cushing is up in the world both physically and mentally. Our tall president was born in Ord, Ne- braska. His interest in education and the teaching profession became evident at an early age. for he selected and took a course in normal training in high school. After he was graduated from high school he accepted a teaching position in the rural schools of Valley county. At the end of two years he secured employment in a hardware and implement store, and after a number of months among nails and hammers saved enough money to enter the Grand Island college. One discovers from the records that he was as successful and popular then as he is today. He lettered in basketball and debated in college and was business man- ager and editor of the college paper. He did the graduate work for his master's de- gree at the University of Nebraska and the University of Chicago and received the Doctor of Education degree from Nebraska Wesleyan University. In 1941 when the college had to discard its peacetime theme and swing over to a red, white and blue one. President Cushing capably brought about the transformation. This year the scenery of war was shifted again to that of peace, and once again President Cushing was there to quietly and effectively help bring about the long waited for and hoped for change. During an eventful and crowded year few students ever stopped to think that modern equipment, excellent textbooks, well-kept buildings and lawns and efficiently trained instructors had not emerged from nowhere. They merely took advantage of and thor- oughly enjoyed the many opportunities of- fered by the Nebraska State Teachers Col- lege at Kearney without once questioning the hows, whys or wherefores of those opportunities. Now is the time, however, to give credit where credit is due and to solve the mystery or rather lack of knowledge about the men behind the man behind the college. Just as the smallest cog is most important to the proper functioning of any mechanism, so is the small group of capable adminis- trators essential to the continued existence of our progressive college. This group, of course, is the State Board of Education, appointed by the governor and approved by the legislature. It is the duty of the members to formulate and control the policies of the four state teachers colleges of Nebraska. Other re- sponsibilities of the board are the selection of the presidents of the four colleges, the passing on the proposed budgets of the schools, the approving of the selection of instructors, and appearing before the legis- lature when matters concerning the welfare of the colleges are being discussed. The present members of the hardworking group include: Ralph Carhart, Wayne; E. D. Crites, Chadron; Edgar Ferneau, Auburn; Bertha I. Hill, Hebron; Alvin E. Johnson, Omaha; Everett L. Randall, Kearney; and Wayne O. Reed, Lincoln. Mr. Reed is the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Page 19 HERBERT L. CUSHING, president of the Nebraska State Teachers at Kearney. BERNARD F. STUTHEiT, DEAN OF MEN ... a busy man on the campus, ho helps veterans to organize their curriculums and get back into the swing of civilian life and peacetime education. ALICE M. ROBINSON, DEAN OF WOMEN . . . her bulletin board with its daily clippings of news items and amusing incidents from the morning papers is one of the most popular places in the building. COUNSEL, CONSULTATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT Three years ago the Dean of Men's office was the busiest place in the college. Men left in large groups to enter the armed services, and checking out of school re- quired consultation with the dean. Volun- teers and inductees alike took their turns in the office where they not only received signatures but advice and counsel and good wishes for their service careers. This year found the office again the busiest place on the campus. B. F. Stutheit, in his first year as Acting Dean of Men, was kept at a steady pace welcoming World War II veterans back to the college, assisting them in planning their curriculums, and helping them to get started in their dis- rupted education. Besides his regular duties, the Dean of Men serves as advisor to the Men's Council, which is a representative body of all the men enrolled in school. Affairs of the Dean of Women were held admirably under control by two capable substitutes while Dean Alice M. Robinson was away during part of the school year. When Miss Robinson left in the fall to study at Syracuse University, her efficiently run office was taken over by Mrs. lean Michaels of the social science department who retained the position of acting dean until her husband was discharged from the service in February. Mrs. Oscar Drake of Kearney continued in her place until Miss Robinson's return. Part-time work and special permits for extra activities must be passed by the Dean of Women. Help in planning schedules may always be secured in the office, as well as advice and counsel on personal matters. Miss Robinson is advisor of the Women's Council, which plans monthly programs for the year. Page 20 • • • ASSISTING When discharged servicemen began flocking back to the college, many of them were uncertain in regard to their classifications, due to college training which they had received while serving in the armed forces. Being a freshman one week didn’t mean that a man might not be a sophomore or even a junior the next week after his service credits had been counted in the registrar's office. Another irregularity popped up when married men had difficulty in finding apartments for their families. Aid given them in the secretary of publicity's office helped solve this problem. Arlene Christensen, bursar, left in De- cember to be married, so Uncle Sam settled his veterans' expenses with Doro- thy Williams whose duties as secretary to the president were doubled when she became acting bursar.

For many of the men, particularly those who did not receive college training while in the service, settling down to serious study was not so easy. They soon found, however, that the concentrative atmosphere of the library, the willing aid of the librarians and the complete col- lection of books and material were con- ducive to learning and it was not long before they were giving the coeds high competition in grade averages. The men found also that the stress on physical fitness was not left behind them in the armed forces. They could take anything from a cut finger to the sniffles into the office of the college nurse and receive immediate treatment from her and the college physician. Good health, the college knows, is essential to good living. Faculty bookworms . . . librarian, FLOY C.

Evidence indicates that education will play a greater part in the post- war world than ever before. The increasing enrollment in colleges and universities all over the nation makes the desire for education a growing fact. Men who before the war had no intention of ever attend- ing college are still returning every day with new attitudes toward its importance. The first requirement for good education is good teachers. Train- ing young Americans to make a better peace must begin when they first enter school at kindergarten age. Well-prepared teachers are essential if young people growing up are to capably maintain and participate in the American way of life. Teacher training at Kearney en- ables students preparing for ele- mentary instruction in both town and country to observe and prac- tice teaching methods in the A. O. Thomas training school on the cam- pus and in rural communities. Under the guidance of experienced super- visors, they learn the beginnings of good citizenship. Page 22 Among tomorrow's teachers, like today's, will be those who guide America's chil- dren from the early stages of good citizen- ship into more advanced preparation for their places in society. Men and women who leave NSTC to accept positions in secondary education will have had the experience of observing classes in the Kearney high school and of practice teaching under the supervision of the high school instructors. Practical appli- cation of knowledge acquired is a modern trend in education. Psychology in learning and teaching methods is also stressed highly in today's policies of education. Good mental health is necessary for a progressive peace. The conditions of a nation are reflections of the attitudes and thinking of its people. Good minds and good bodies—together they make a head start toward success. Athletics have been popular through the ages, but out of the recent war came a stepped-up program. Physical fitness is now a must in education for both men and women. Kearney college's department of edu- cation is prepared to meet the responsi- bilities of a progressive age. As times change, the various departmental divi- Sold on psychology . . . head of the educa- tion department, H. G.

Much the same was true in the zoology division of the biological science depart- ment as in the botany division. The study of animals took on new meaning to many of the men who returned to continue their preparation in that field because they had had occasion to observe species rare to this country. Their experiences were not only a benefit to themselves but to the people who worked with them in classes and in the laboratories. This, an example of the new knowledge of the foreign countries of the world, plays its own part in the building of a lasting peace. Not only politics and so- ciety, language and commerce, but bot- any and zoology bring the world closer together and bind it in a common under- standing. When many of the men attended the college's botany classes a few years ago, it did not occur to them that there might come a time when they would find prac-1 tical application for all of their work there. They were not anticipating war. But when with the invasion troops they entered enemy territory and saw land and flora which they had never dreamed of seeing, they found that their botanical training was valuable indeed. Identify- ing vegetation provided diversion from the strain of battle and at the same time broadened their scope of general knowl- edge. Once again in school, veterans dis- covered that their travels enabled them to derive even more than before from the work in the department and to contribute in return from the fruits of their experi- ences. They had much to offer. They could give as well as take from the re- sources of learning. Authorities on animals . . . zoology laboratory supervisor, MILDRED E.

The fine arts are universal in their appeal and ability to reach the senses. They are the common language among all people. American GI Joes saw them abused. They saw great pieces of art ruined and famous music halls destroyed. They were the victors over countries where the art of speaking for freedom's sake was not cultivated but suppressed. Successful peace in the postwar world depends greatly on the rebuilding of the fine arts as a basis of mutual apprecia- tion among the countries. Nations united from a creative standpoint represent one step toward union in all respects. Kearney college's fine arts department carried through the war in admirable fashion. Art students took their drawing boards out on the campus on warm days and continued their study of the buildings and statues which were being destroyed in the theatres of war. Speech-makers kept winning honors and stressing the im- portance of self-expression in a democ- racy. The mixed chorus turned into a girls' choir and presented concerts of its usual fine quality. Lack of personnel necessitated the temporary disbandment of band and orchestra, but with this year's increased enrollment and the re- turn of Mr. Cerny from his leave of ab- sence, the two groups were reorganized and instrumental music again became a vital part of college life. Drama, too, came into its own again with the return of Dr. Strawn from the navy. Well-informed ... art instructor, MINNIE E.

COMMUNICATING... Foreign language students who served overseas know that their knowledge of different tongues was an invaluable aid in their contact with the natives of other countries. The ability to speak and understand several languages is a com- ing thing in the world, A nation can no longer remain aloof but essentially plays an integral part in the world as a whole. Working together means that, although the war is over, men and women of America will continue to find their knowl- edge of foreign languages an asset in any walk of life. The basis for foreign tongues is the initial mastery of one’s own language. The college's English department empha- sizes the importance of knowing the English language well and of being able to use it proficiently in expressing oneself in both speaking and writing. Page 26 DISCOVERING... With the atomic discoveries of the war period came a new era in physical sci- ence. Kearney college, as a modern school concerned with changing times, did not underestimate the critical signifi- cance of the great scientific achievement. Information gained in the physical sci- ence department during the first postwar year was not limited to the laboratories but was transmitted to the entire faculty and student body. Lectures and dis- cussions impressed upon the minds of NSTCers the possibilities of atomic en- ergy for constructive purposes. A revo- lutionary instrument of war, it was stressed as an equally powerful force in a world at peace. The college's physical science depart- ment is equipped to explore all the mysterious and dynamic discoveries that occur in the ever-broadening field of science. Recent progress makes it more essential than ever that young Americans enter society informed on timely subjects. Formula finder . . . head of the physical science department, DONALD E.

Students on the home front watched history being made by the men who, a short time before, had sat beside them in college classrooms and concen- trated on Napoleon and the American revolution. Current events took the lime- light in social studies as students fol- lowed their former classmates on the map through battle after battle. Current happenings put a new light on the past. Earlier wars and conditions from ancient times on gained emphasis in their relationship to modern develop- ments. A knowledge of the past was necessary for a clear understanding of the present and preparation for the fu- ture. History was received with more enthusiasm than ever before because it was of vital and immediate concern to the personal, social and political well- being of every person in a nation at war. Geopolitics became a popular subject for lecture and discussion, and information regarding the different types of govern- ment in the world not only added new meaning to democracy but provided a better basis for interpreting intelligently the actions of other countries. Returning Kearney men did not find a college uninformed on the affairs of the world. They found a college ready for peace and prepared to help in its pres- ervation.

Practical arts showed their merits during the war. Trained welders and draftsmen were needed desperately in war factories and training camp construction crews. Girls and women who were prepared for stenographic work found jobs plentiful everywhere. Wives and mothers were left to manage their homes and families alone with the added worry of point- rationing and food shortages. Training which they may have had in home man- agement was of no small value to them in their increased responsibilities. Vocational training is equally as im- portant in peacetime. Progressive post- war planning for new buildings and projects require experts. Men leaving the armed services and establishing new businesses find administrative training invaluable. Even home-making is going through revolutionary stages. Practical education is coming more than ever into its own. Expert artisan . . . head of vocational arts department, OTTO C.

Page 29 Students always had much to talk over and compare when classes were dismissed. Get-togethers often end- ed in worthwhile discussions of cur- rent and timely topics. NSTCers were looking to the future and in the future they saw a Student Union Memorial, the perfect place for furthering fellow relationships.

SO THERE YOU ARE... . . . students? How do you like it? Last fall when it came time for the class pictures to be taken, the Blue and Gold staff was perturbed for two reasons. In the first place war, although over, had left a definite mark on both the film situation and photographers. We discovered that we couldn't simply send you all downtown to the local studio, prop you up in front of the birdie, say smile, and have as a result per- fect likenesses of you for the book. The studio had its troubles the same as most other businesses during wartime and, be- cause of lack of skilled help and an extreme- ly busy season, found it difficult to squeeze a yearbook into its schedule. We thought of painting the pictures and calling them modernistic art to justify our peculiar brand of talent; in fact, we thought of everything, practical and impractical, which might lend a solution to our problem. The second reason for our sorrow was even more pressing, we thought. It occur- red to us that learning to know you and seeing you from day to day as laughing, talking, active individuals was much too valuable an experience to be left unre- corded in the very book which is meant to be expressive of you. Somewhere we saw a photograph of Sally Jones, sober- faced as a judge, a new and perfect wave in her hair and a let's-get-this-over look in her eye. Why, that isn't Sally,” we said. Sally is over in the gym in a red plaid shirt playing a fast game of ping pong. See what we mean? We wanted to re- member you all as personalities, not as portraits. We wanted to see you as you really are, vibrant and likeable in natural surroundings. But how? Getting everybody's picture the candid way seemed practically an impossi- bility. We thought and thought, and sud- denly we knew. There was a man who could do it! Remember Little Flower and Bertha and George ? Remember the big man with the big camera who strolled through the halls all day flashing bulbs in your faces and yelling, Now look up and smile? That was our man and these are the pictures he took of you and your friends as you really are, the records of actual college life in its most active and realistic form. He came a long way to get you and he got you. So there you are. We hope you like it. The Editor. Page 63 Page 64 ORGANIZED GROUPS PROMOTE PURPOSIVE THINKING Social, professional and entertainment organizations all possess qualities valuable to the development of personality and character. Groups on Kearney's cam- pus which met and worked together found their time well spent. Part of their planning included conference rooms and offices in the proposed Student Union Me- morial where their work could be carried on with the best of equipment and convenience. Page 65 STUDENTS CONTRIBUTE, COOPERATE Want to be broad? We don't mean waist measurement or secretarial spread, but breadth in knowledge and experience. One can make well-integrated contacts with others, and gain something worthwhile out- side of the regular, busy classroom sched- ules by joining one of the many organiz- ations NSTC offers. Every student dreams of taking part some day in an organization of which he is a full-fledged member, shivers in antici- pation at the thought of being a pledge, and works long and hard at the task of concocting appropriate initiation services once he is an active. It is in organizations that students come to know one another and perpetuate the friendly atmosphere of the college. On this, and the following pages, are the photodramas” of the lucky and ambitious individuals who have known the deep satis- faction of belonging.” Clubs are the something special of a college career. COMMERCIALLY SPEAKING Commercially speaking they are almost perfect for the members of Nu chapter of Pi Omega Pi, national honorary commercial fraternity, must meet very high scholarship requirements. To be a member one must have five hours of education, twelve hours of commerce, 2.5 honor points in subjects not of a commercial nature, and a 3.2 honor point average for all commercial work taken. Not content just to maintain their high standards, members of the Nu chapter are constantly looking for ways to improve themselves and their standards. The organ- ization presents an award each year to the outstanding freshman in the field of com- merce. This award is an incentive for eager freshmen. Scholarship, leadership, and personality are some of the things they must keep in mind and attain if they aspire to it. The award is presented to the lucky and deserving freshman at the annual honor convocation. Norma Buehler was president of the chap- ter this year. She was assisted by Arlene Warner, vice president; Linnea Olsen, sec- retary; and Lucille Grimm, treasurer. Miss Mildred M. Payne is the sponsor. Sitting . . .

ASPIRANTS TO DIVINE FAITH AND LOYALTY About the middle of last August upper- classmen girls began to receive little cards stating that they were now “big sisters and were about to acquire some “little sis- ters. Gradually they came to like the idea of guiding the freshmen girls into the hows, whys, and becauses of college life, and approved of the Young Women's Christian Association's plan to guide freshmen girls through first college days. This program was only a small part of the all encompassing tasks undertaken by the YWCA. The Marshmallow Sing and the Big Sister tea were important events in the early fall season. Another project was the sponsorship of the annual Christmas Carnival to raise funds to send individuals to the Estes Park conference. Everyone came and everyone had a good time taking in the sights. Every large group must have an execu- tive group and the YWCA is no exception. Officers first semester of 1945-1946 included: Margaret Jordan, president; Joyce Larson, vice-president; Wanda Nicholas, secretary; and Marjorie DeBruner, treasurer. Second semester officers were Ruth Dunbar, presi- dent; Kathryn Noyes, vice-president; Fran- ces Hurdle, secretary; and Helen Dailey, treasurer. Meetings were held each Wed- nesday night with Dr. Mary L. Morse acting as advisor. First Row . . . Marjoiio DoBrunnor, Grotchon Story, Ruth Dunbar, Helen Dailey, Rodgio Newman. Socond Row . . .

Page 67 FOR CONFORMITY TO COMMON FAITH AND PURPOSE In September of 1940 Lutheran students on the campus felt the need of having a religious organization of their own. With the help and cooperation of Mr. Olsen and the Reverend E. W. Norling, the students organized the Kearney chapter Lutheran Student Association of America or, as it is more commonly known, L.S.A.A. Since that time the group has met twice monthly for devotional studies and social parties and has taken an active part in campus activities. For proof of their activity, just four years after having organized, mem- bers were host to the midwestem regional conference which was held here on the campus. This year's programs centered around the theme of Comparative Religion” with the studies capably led by the Reverend W. E. Nelson. In early fall, club members co- sponsored the marshmallow sing at Kear- ney lake with the Young Women's Christian Association. They sent four delegates to the regional conference held at Wahoo, Nebraska, in October. In February L.S.A.A. sponsored a waffle supper at the First Luth- eran church in Kearney. During the Lenten season the organization saw as a group the film entitled Golgotha.” The purpose of the organization is to afford a means whereby Lutheran students on the Kearney campus may consider and act upon their common problems in con- formity with the common faith of the Luth- eran church. They are always interested ii) the betterment of their group and devote their sincere efforts to creating interest in their activities. This year's officers were president, Gene- vieve Gustafson; vice-president, Phyllis Nel- son; and secretary-treasurer, Hazel Ibsen. Otto Olsen was the sponsor of the group. Sitting . . .

TO PROMOTE FELLOWSHIP AND UNDERSTANDING In a quiet, comfortable room on the third floor of the administration building. Catholic students of the campus met every other Wednesday evening to study the vestments and parts of their church. One meeting each month was devoted to the study of their religion and the other was social. Every third Sunday of the month, com- munion was taken in a body. The promotion of fellowship and under- standing among the students, and the pro- motion of a better understanding of the Catholic religion” was the purpose Catholic students had in mind when they organized the Catholic Club in 1916. The C S H, as it is sometimes known, has led a very active and prominent career on the campus ever since its beginning. Under the leadership of president Kathleen Noonan, vice-president Bob Polski, secretary Hilda Lola, treasurer Teresita Lefevre, and news reporter Shirley Rae Veal, and under the sponsorship and guidance of Helen Istas, Harriett Yingling, Harold Cerny, and Father Tschida, this year's members strove to give other students on the campus a better understanding of religion and to pro- mote friendship. The club this year joined the Newman Club, a Catholic Youth Movement in Sec- ular Colleges. Included in the program of events was the study of the beginning of the Church, Mass, Indulgences, Sacraments, Sacramentals, and the Saints. The Catholic club and its pleasant room, where an Ever Welcome” sign is always waiting, is a splendid place to make and meet friends while gaining a deeper under- standing of religion, good fellowship and friendships, fill these are vital elements in the business of living graciously from day to day.

In fact, they are even willing to ignore the catcalls of their fellow classmates to smiling- ly present a brightly polished apple to their instructors. These lucky individuals are Xi Phi pledges, and it isn't everyone who can be one. The Gamma chapter of Xi Phi fraternity was established at Kearney in 1924 as a regional and honorary fraternity recogniz- ing scholarship and leadership of students in the junior and senior classes. Each year Xi Phi av ards a scholarship to the highest scholastic sophomore boy and girl at Honor Day convocations. Upon acceptance to membership, pledges become full-fledged members and may at- tend the monthly social and cultural meet- ings as well as the two main events of each year, the Christmas dinner and the spring banquet. Xi Phi members are leaders and scholars, and their officers are president, Norma Buehler; vice-president, Helen Seybold, and treasurer, Arlene Warner. Sponsors are Emma Hanthorn and Dr. H. G. Stout. The purpose of the organization is the promotion of scholarship and leadership among its members and among other students on the campus. Around Table, loit to right . . . Holer.

ART OF PERSUASION AND DISCUSSION Most people like to talk, but here's an organization with members who not only like to, but know how to, and do it with gusto and first place honors. It's Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensic fraternity. In 1942 Harold L. Ahrendts, sponsor of this talkingest organization on the campus said, Give me two years to start winning state speech contests. He certainly knew what he was speaking of, for his students came triumphantly home from the Nebraska Intercollegiate Forensic Association contest, winners of the 1946 meeting. Ella Mae Sizer won in the women's oratorical division and Robert Parkins placed first in the men's oratory. John Mitchell, who won the 1945 state contest and placed in the semi-finals of the national contest, walked away with first honors in the men's extemporaneous speaking division. Francis Bell and John Mitchell placed second and third respective- ly in men's discussion. Miss Sizer and Park- ins later both placed third in the women's and men's oratorical divisions at the na- tional contest. In April Pi Kappa Deltans were host to the Pi Kappa Delta Province of the Plains speech conference which took the place of a national speech meet. Twenty-five schools in Kansas, eastern Colorado, and Nebraska were represented. The purpose of the organization is to promote the interests of intercollegiate ora- tory, debate, and public speaking by en- couraging a spirit of intercollegiate fellow- ship, brotherly cooperation, and interest. Margaret Jordan was president. Other officers included Francis Bell, vice-president; Neva Harris, secretary-treasurer; John Mit- chell, corresponding-secretary, and Helen Refshauge, historian. Page 71 SINCERITY, TRUTH AND DESIGN Sincerity, Truth, and Design is the motto of the college literary hopefuls who are out to prove that if it is writing and if it is creative they can do it and do it well. At present, however, the members of the Xi Beta chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the national English fraternity, confine their talents to the writing and publishing of their literary magazine, The Antler. The purposes of the organization are manifold, for they include “the encourage- ment of worthwhile reading, the stimulation of creative writing and mastery of expres- sion in English composition, and the foster- ing of a spirit of fellowship among those specializing in the study of language and literature. To be a member of the organization one must be an English major or minor, must have a scholarship average of ”C or above, and must have completed twelve hours of English. Membership is based upon a unanimous vote of the active members. Meetings are held once a month and are spent in the reading, hearing, and apprecia- tion of great and worthwhile literature. Each year this organization sponsors a freshman essay contest. All first year stu- dents may enter, and the one who writes the best familiar essay receives the Sigma Tau Delta Medal. The C. T. Ryan Medal goes to the second place winner, and both essays are printed in “The Antler. This year essays by Ruth Toyama, Mary Jo Zook, Lois Miller, Mariana Zulauf, and Martin Pierson were in the finals. Ruth Toyama's essay, “A Solid Foundation won first place, and second place went to Mary Jo Zook for her essay, The Dreamer. The annual Christmas and spring dinners were other highlights of a sucessful year. Teresita Lefevre was president of the local chapter this year. Other officers were Kath- leen Noonan, vice-president; Helen Seybold, secretary; Dorothy Solderholm, treasurer, and Kathryn Noyes, historian. Calvin T. Ryan is sponsor of the organization.

DOMESTICS AT HEART Cooking with gas may well be a trite expression, but when applied to the Home Economics club of N S T C, it is indeed appropriate. Girls of this organization firm- ly believe in self-improvement in home, school and community as well as whether a three-minute egg should be boiled four or five minutes. Starting in early fall with a picnic honor- ing new girls at Harmon Field park, the club filled this year's calendar with many educational and entertaining activities. Candlelight initiation was held in October, while in November a banquet was given in the cafeteria dining room at which time the girls were hostesses to the chemistry students. Following this banquet came the annual Christmas party at Case Hall in December, and during the next two months there were panel discussions on the subject, What's New in Home Economics? This question can be simply answered by stating that this year's new officers were president, Ardyce Rundquist; vice-president, Wanda Nicholas; secretary, Juanita Newcomb; treasurer, Ruth Wendell; state representative, Jean Beattie; and historian, Mary Muchmore. Sponsors were Bernice Mantor and Delia Garrett. Another topic for discussion was Voca- tional Opportunities in the Field of Home Economics. The organization ended an- other successful year in May, with the final pot luck picnic supper. First Row . . . flrdolla Rundquist, Dorothy Nowquist. Phyllis Olson. Wilma Joan Beattie, Marian Rood.

Page 73 THEY SHALL HAVE MUSIC That music hath charms the 1945-46 mem- bers of the Apollonians well know, for they belonged heart and soul to their music club. Melodies were their hobby and an under- standing of the great and beautiful in music was their aim. In September of 1942 certain music lovers stopped, looked and listened, and heard nothing musical. They immediately decided that such a lack in campus life should be remedied, and the formation of a music club to promote a better knowledge of classical music came into being. It was decided that its purpose should be the de- velopment of an appreciation of good music. This year's members met once or twice a month at the homes of the sponsors. There they listened to recordings and socially be- came better musically informed. Not only did they listen, but they also participated, for the members planned and presented musical programs, As soon as their pro- grams were successfully over, they once more became listeners and attended con- certs. They also enjoyed a Christmas Party, a Spring banquet, and making group re- cordings. The club chooses its members from stu- dents on the campus who are interested in the activities of the group and who have a desire to know and hear worthwhile music. Genevieve Gustafson was president ol the organization this year. Other officers were Dorothy Newquist, secretary; Arlene Warner, treasurer; and Eunice Saathoff, An- telope reporter.

UNITED SOCIALLY AND VOCATIONALLY One particular group of commercially minded students on the campus call them- selves the Tironians. Their purpose is to unite the students of commerce and to pro- mote interest in both social and vocational activities and to develop leadership and ability in its members for carrying on similar activities in a high school. The 1945-1946 membership had its highly satisfactory purpose in mind at all times. In early September to launch themselves into a year of both work and fun they planned and participated in something ex- traordinary in the line of out-door picnics. Of course, there was plenty to eat and do. fit one meeting they played bingo. Then they began to make plans for the annual Christmas carnival in which they whole- heartedly took part. By the time January rolled around the weather was cold and Tironians found themselves hungry for chili and thus had a chili supper. In February they had a bowling party. In May Tiron- ians held a banquet to close their year's activities. fit other meetings, programs of interest and value were presented and business meetings were held. The name of the club is derived from that of Marcus Tullius Tiro, considered to be the first secretary. He in- vented a system of shorthand to record the orations of Cicero before the senate of ancient Rome, with not so much as the aid of Gregg's Speed Studies. flrdella Rundquist was this year's presi- dent. Other officers were Lorraine Schmidt, vice-president; Helen Dailey, secretary- treasurer; and Evangelyn Kalstrom, reporter. Greta Larson and Clara Ockinga were Tironian co-sponsors. Page 75 FEMININE VOICES BLEND IN HARMONY V e stepped out and listened and heard feminine voices lifted in lilting melody. We opened the door of the music room and softly stole inside. Finding our way to an unoccupied seat, we found ourselves in the midst of a NSTC choir practice session. This was more as it should be. Here v e could see as well as hear. The girls sang and sang beautifully. Their voices were melodious and their faces happy as they intently followed the leading of Eleanor Dorrum, the choir director. They sang sweetly, rhythmically, and truly. They sang with feeling, and v e sat in rapt atten- tion and appreciation, fill too soon it ended. Another choir rehearsal was over, but there were others soon to come. The college choir is a singular organ- ization in that all the members participate because they like to sing. Singing v ith a group such as this is ever a deeply satis- fying experience, v hich is unforgetable by both the singers and their audiences. Some of our convocations and special events v ere given added spirit and color by the appearance of this year's all v omen choir. In the dignity of their blue and gold robes choir members charmed appreciative audiences. The members of a choir are often divided into trios, quartets, and other similar groups. Singing of this type demands that the stu- dent have real musical ability as well as a desire to work hard. There were many of these small groups organized this year and all were highly successful. Next year masculine voices will once more blend with the feminine voices as they have in the years before the war. The larger, mixed membership will give the choir the opportunity to develop into an outstanding musical organization. Arlene Warner v as president of the group this year and Gretchen Story served as secretary. Firs Row . . . Alotha Anne Armstrona, Mary Lou Garvin. Idoll Stafford.

Page 76 STUDENT LEADERS CONDUCT SCHOOL AFFAIRS In times of doubt and distress the student body knows the proper place to turn for help, for the accomplishments of the Student Council speak for themselves. The council is the student governing body of the campus and solves the many little problems that occur in campus life. In early fall the group sponsors and promotes the activities of the first week of school, discip- lines the freshmen, enforces the wearing of traditional green caps and plans the an- nual freshmen-upperclassmen tug-of-war. There are also mixers, dances, and rallies under the co-operative guidance of the council. Members also publish the K-Book, the student handbook and directory. This year's group inaugurated the idea of Homecoming Sweetheart. The council planned and pro- moted the Veterans of Foreign War's drive for the Student Union Memorial fund, and established the Buck-a-Month Club for making that Union a reality. For those students who talk much and do little, the council invented a Gripe Box. It also promoted bus trips to out-of-town ath- letic events and through its efforts the Kam- pus Kave, stomping ground for NSTCers. reopened, fit the Inter-High School Contest event in March council members welcomed and entertained some nine hundred par- ticipants. Council officers this year were John Mitchell, president; Neva Jane Harris, vice president; Evangelyn Kalstrom, secretary- treasurer. Faculty sponsors were Jean M. Michaels and B. F. Stutheit.

During the last few years this organization for men almost died a natural death, but when Johnny came marching home again the Men's Council, and the College Men's League regained their former strength and effectiveness. The old question, What should a college man know? and Why doesn't he know it anyhow? were dusted and brought forth and once again the meet- ings, held the third Thursday of each month, resounded with the verbosity of many male voices. The superior male was on the cam- pus again and we were glad. The Men's Council is the executive group of all the men on the campus and as such plans the strictly stag convocations. Its purpose and the purpose of the League is to foster better feeling among men on he campus. fit the monthly programs questions and problems of today and tomorrow were top- ics for lively discussions. Both assentors and dissentors agreed that the meetings were an excellent way to get to know their fellowmen. Wallace Walker was president of Men's Council first semester. Other first semester officers were Robert Spelts, vice president; John Mitchell, secretary; and Kenneth Shi- bata, treasurer. Second semester brought an almost complete political turnover when the men on the campus elected Richard Peterson president. Members of his cabinet were Robert Meline, vice president; Verne Dowers, secretary; and Robert Spelts, treas- urer. Acting Dean of Men B. F. Stutheit was Council sponsor.

CONCERNING THE WOMEN Last summer prospective college students found in their mailboxes a little book en- titled Your Cue, Co-ed.” As they curiously thumbed through the pages, they saw pic- tures of campus life. Reading further they discovered interesting and valuable facts about college affairs and the dormitory as a home. Finishing the book, they found that an organization called the College Women's League had written and published this handbook of information. Fall came and as the freshmen girls began to arrive, members of the College Women's League were there to greet them and tell them where to store their trunks and eat their lunch. That first night in their strange new home, they had no time to be lonely for the League entertained them with skit, games, and fun in the college gymnasium. A week later the girls gathered in the auditorium for their first College Women's League meeting, and there learned what the League was and how much it meant to every girl in school, for as each girl registered for college work, she automatic- ally became a member. Marian Wardrop, president, discussed the program plans for the year and introduced other officers, Betty Jo McDowell, vice-president; Cathryn And- erson, secretary, and Evangelyn Kalstrom, treasurer. Miss Alice M. Robinson, Dean of Women was League sponsor. October brought fall and winter styles to the stage for the monthly program, and every campus costume from plaid shirts to formal attire was modeled. The next month gave the girls an opportunity to change hair styles and learn about cos- metics and beauty aids. The December stage presented the “little red school house” and its Christmas “speakin' ” program, a hilarious skit given by League members. January improved personalities, and in Feb- ruary talented members demonstrated eti- quette, art and music methods. March and April were entertainments of music and book reviews, and in May the College Women’s League members invited their mothers and presented them with flowers and a talent program. Page 81 Ye olde Antelope office may not be large, but as always it certainly was popular this year. Why meet in a spacious and un- cluttered hall when you could squeeze your- self and about five friends into a hole-in-the- wall which reeked of ink, paste and an editor's sorrows? Droppers-in simply draped themselves over a handy typewriter and breathed quietly. Said hole-in-the-wall is the location of one of the most constantly active organ- izations on the campus, The Antelope, which is the official newspaper of the col- lege. Issued every Friday with four pages of five columns in each issue, it contains all that has, will and probably won't happen to college students in college life. Friday noon there is always a mad scramble to see what's what with the world and the students, for Anty” gives a faithful record of all activities. This newspaper didn't just come out.” Hardworking editor Cathryn Andy” Ander- son pleaded with, cajoled and threatened her columnists until they got their copy in by Thursday night at least. Among the columnists were Maxine Wardrop, whose Drips from War-Drop” was always a week- ly highlight; Lois Judevine, who chased us here and there offering pennies for our thoughts for The Sound Off of Student Opinion”; and Barbara King who wrote of the doings of girl athletes in Antelope Does.” Mary Ellen Moore also contributed feature writing. William Nutter was sports editor, and Shirley Homling and Joan Pierce were so- ciety editors first and second semester, re- spectively. Shirley Homling was also staff cartoonist and her original Kisty Capers” was a new kind of pictorial journalism. Coralie Forrester left after the first semester and turned over her duties as business manager to Verne Dowers. Dorothy Hol- comb secretary of publicity at N S T C did her part in making the paper a success. Page 82 TOO LATE, THE DEED IS DONE Lcll to Bight ... Jo Anno Bcrbor, Virginia Ginthor.

There wasn't any film. There was another picture to be taken. Ah-h-h, film at last—but there weren't any flash bulbs. There were a lot more pictures to be taken. There was no photographer. So began the 1946 Blue and Gold. There were post-war handicaps, yes, but problems solved themselves in time to make possible this, the first NSTC yearbook since 1943. Once contracts were signed and lay-outs made, progress was speedily made and the book began to take form. Hilda Lola, bus- iness manager, solicited advertising and balanced books. Assistant business man- ager Lorraine Schmidt with Helen Dailey, Mary Ellen Moore and Juanita Newcomb were kept busy collecting money. June Nama was circulating manager. Editor Neva Jane Harris heaved a sigh of relief when John Mitchell cultivated an interest in picture-taking and became the staff photographer.

EXPERT SWIMMERS Disregarding altogether the old saying, . . . but don't go near the water, girls of Naiads dive right in and live to tell the tale. Organized September 16, 1945, by women swimmers on the campus. Naiads members met weekly to improve their swimming strokes and diving ability. It was under the sponsorship of Marjorie Elliott, and its offi- cers were president, Iris Kyle; vice-presi- dent, Jean May; secretary, Wilma Sail, and treasurer, Hilda Lola. With a musical swim, a swimming meet, and an April pageant as starters. Naiads made big plans for the coming years. TEAM SUPPORTERS A cow bell clangs on second floor of the administration building and NSTCers know a Zip Club pep rally is in the making. The demands of this year's cheerleaders, Emily Hanzel, Iona Lovitt, Phyllis Samuel and Mary Lou Schraeder were forceful, the yells were loud. It is the duty of this organization to keep student pep and spirit on a high key during the football and basketball sea- sons, and the 1945-1946 group did that. Carrie E. Ludden, sponsor, contributed greatly to the spirit of the Zip Club, and her cooperation with club officers made the current season a successful one.

NSTC's Inter-Fraternity-Sorority Council faces any catastrophies which might arise each year as campus Greek organizations annually take members into their organization. The council fosters cooperation and a friendly spirit among the campus Greek letter groups. It is made up of the president and one representative from each campus Greek organization and is under the spon- sorship of Harriet Yingling. Council members meet to pass action on LITERARY all matters which pertain to Greek life on the campus. Major task before the council is rush season and functions connected with it. President of this year's Inter-Fraternity- Sorority Council was Barbara Schulz and council secretary was Bette Jo McDowell. This year's council reconverted from the wartime Tri-Sorority Council to the prewar Inter-Fraternity-Sorority Council as frater- nities reactivated second semester. MOTIVES Once an flspasian, always an Aspasian.” This is the motto of the Women's Literary society on the campus. Girls belonging to flspasians gain a deeper appreciation of good literature and a better understanding of parliamentary procedure plus a good many happy memories. This year's program included a Christmas party, a masquerade party, caroling, special convocation, get-togethers” and a spring dinner. Officers elected were president, Maxine Wardrop; vice-president, flrdyce Baxter; secretary, Agnes Mailander, and treasurer, Margarita Schmidt. The sponsor is Carrie E. Ludden.

DEVOTED TO THE DIAMOND Organized in 1935, Zeta Chi Alpha is the newest of the three sororities on NSTC's campus. As a social organization to pro- mote social and cultural life in college, to encourage scholarship, and to build higher ideals for future womankind it functioned ideally. A fall picnic launched the Zetas into a 1945-1946 year of annual activities and events. However, new happenings and newcomers added spice to sorority tra- ditions. A series of cultural meetings was highlighted by a speech given by Dr. Mary Morse on The Atomic Bomb. Everyone found it intensely interesting and enlighten- ing, for streamlined thinking is along atomic lines. At another cultural meeting Teresita LeFevre gave a talk on Christmas in Puerto Rico. The V ildlife Club house was the scene of the Zeta funny paper party held first semester for members and invited guests. This year's traditional Christmas breakfast was at the Grantham Cafe. Other highlights of the Zeta social season were an alumnae dinner to observe the tenth anniversary of the sorority, and a rush party at the Midway Hotel, for which Zetas chose an Old South” theme. Rush week found Zeta pledges wearing tradition- al sorority colors, purple and white, pulling mechanical toys on wheels and minding teddy bears and rag dolls. At each meet- ing Personality Pointers were given by Teresita Lefevre. Page 87 First Row . . . Alice Wink. Joan May. Maxine Wardrop, Ella Mao Sizer. Barbara King. Wanda Nicholas.

WEARERS OF THE ARROW Country cousin Donna Neal and detective Althea Nielsen Long catch Jacquelyn Wedemeyer, the villain, red-handed in the Delta melodrama presented at the Christ- mas carnival. As the moon rose over the lake a group of girls gathered around the campfire, softly sang the song Juanita and pledged themselves in faithful allegiance. Thus in September 1910, the Juanita sorority was founded. In 1944 the oldest sorority on the campus changed its name to Delta Pi Beta. The golden arrow, tea rose and colors yellow and white remained the same. This fall the Delta Pi Beta sorority held its first meeting on the banks of the same lake where the sorority had its beginning so long ago and formulated plans for the year. Presi- dent Marian Wardrop led the discussion, aided by vice-president, Jessie Gilpin; secretary, Wanda Nicholas; treasurer, Donna Neal, and representative to Inter-Fraternity Sorority Council, Mabel Gordon. Mrs. Jean Michaels sponsored the sorority first semester, to be succeeded upon her de- parture by Miss Marjorie Elliott. In October the Deltas were bridge guests at the home of their patroness, Mrs. Lyle Mantor. Then came the hay rack ride to the Platte River where college coeds became hay-seeds for an evening of fun. In November, Delta girls had breakfast together at the Fort Kearney Hotel and attended services at the Presbyterian Church. Christmas found the Deltas busy on the melodramatic skit which they presented at the Christmas Carnival. Later, in a setting of snow- men and igloos, Marian Wardrop stepped into the spotlight as queen of the Holly Ball. Rush season came in a flurry of plans and parties. Fifteen pledges knelt in true Delta fashion, offered sweets and treats to the laugh- ing actives and dreamed of the day when they too might be full-fledged members. At the formal initiation dinner in April that dream came true; mothers and daughters became sorority “sisters and black stockings, Delta hats and broken eggs were no longer a must! The last event of the year, the annual Mother-Daughter tea was given in the recep- tion room of Case Hall, and so ended another highly successful year in the life of the Delta Pi Beta sorority. Wearers of the golden arrow, symbol of Delta fidelity were indeed proud to have been Delta girls. Posing in her role as Queen of Holly at the annual Holly Ball is Her Highness Marian Wardrop, Delta president. Page 89 First Row door: firdella Rundquist. Viola Mortonscn. Evangolyn Kalstrom.

This was my first year in college dur- ing a time of peace and, dear diary, my ex- pectations of college life have been truly fulfilled This year held many festivities for us Sigmas—homecoming, the alumnae tea, our Christmas breakfast and, of course, the tra- ditional Sigma-grams added spirit to the gala Christmas carnival. Then came the first semester party for the prospective rushees, Life Goes to a Sigma Party. Bette Jo McDowell stepped through an en- larged LIFE magazine to be presented as the Sigma Sweetheart by Eleanor Dorrum, our sponsor. February brought rush week. Twenty- five girls chose Sigmas as their sorority and twenty-two became our pledges at the din- ner held at the Midway Hotel. Informal in- itiation, Mother Goose court, will never be forgotten. Our pledges were dressed as nursery rhyme characters’ and one would think that they had stepped out of the pages of a storybook. To be avenged for informal initiation and hell week, we actives suffered at the April Fools party given by the pledges. Then, climaxing rush activities was the beautiful formal initiation. No wonder Sigma Theta Phi means so much to each one of us. Besides our pledges and actives, there was another true Sigma, Holkie. Dorothy Holcomb returned to the campus (now as a distinguished member of the faculty) and again joined our ranks. Before I close I want to say thanks for the pleasant memories to our president, Kathryn Powell; vice-president, Helen Ref- shauge; secretary, Viola Mortensen; treas- urer, Marjorie DeBrunner; and rush chair- man, Bette Jo McDowell, but most of all thanks to our Sigma sisters.

It is sometimes hard to believe that any- thing good can come out of war, but the newest organization on the campus offers sufficient proof that such a thing is possible. The Veteran's Club is strictly a product of war, and its members, in a manner of think- ing, are also products of that war. In November a group of Uncle Sam's former fighting men, who were once again fighting the less fierce battle of the text- book, got together, discussed and decided that they would like to organize and form a club exclusively for men who had served in the recent war. They felt that their war- time experiences gave them a common ground for understanding each other. They wanted to share those experiences and to think and talk with each other.

F. Stutheit, as to the feasibility and wise- ness of the plan. After deliberation the okehs were given, and on November 8, 1945, the veterans met and elected their first of- ficers William Harvey was elected presi- dent and Wallace Walker, secretary-treas- urer. The national organization of the Vet- erans of Foreign Wars soon recognized the campus club and published its operations in its official paper. When the veterans met to elect their of- ficers they chose a planning committee of four members. This committee carried out the ideas and plans formulated by th£ group as a whole in their monthly meetings. Emmett Gannon, Virgil Korte, Robert Meline, and Otis Miller were the members.

BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS With their purpose of furthering the social relations of all men and women on the campus, bettering the recreational facilities, and promoting more entertainment for all, always well in mind the veterans and their planning committee sponsored many social affairs. They held their first dance March 15 with the aid of the Kearney high school orchestra. However the climax of the veteran's social whirl came the night of March 29 when they sponsored a second dance. That night the college gym was bedecked in a mili- tary manner. A huge Veterans of Foreign Wars flag flanked by the shoulder patches of all the divisions of the United States serv- ices. Ellie Frazier's orchestra supplied music for the affair and it was so successful that the veterans decided to make the dance an annual affair. Page 94 Strictly masculine .. . vets liked to get off by themselves for a good game of bridge such as the one in which Floyd Shiffermiller. Robert Minnick, Bill Gallagher, Robert Meline, Rex Cline, Reuben Wagner and Wallace Walker are par- ticipating and kibitzing. In their spare moments the veterans painted and decorated their club rooms in the basement of Green Terrace. One large room was prepared to be furnished with pool tables, ping pong tables, and juke box, and comfortable lounging chairs. The club also included a dance floor and a smoking room. It was through their help that many of the other organizations which had been inactive since 1941 once more came into being and in- fluential in campus affairs. Every veteran on the campus belonged to the Veteran's Club. Acting Dean of Men, B. F. Stutheit was their sponsor. rostering fellowship . .

Page 95 r Page 96 COLLEGE ATHLETICS REGAIN LOST STRENGTH Football, basketball and track seasons found the col- lege at Kearney right back in the swing of things, athleti- cally speaking. Students had waited for this for a long time. Visions of college life in all its peacetime security had made them patient and now it was before them. Looking ahead, they saw even more in the Student Union Memorial, a building planned to meet the needs of every student for to come. TROPJiy Page 97 ANTELOPES BLAZE WAY THROUGH CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON It was just like the old days,” they said, when Kearney's Antelopes smashed their way through six victories in seven games to cop the mythical All-State college foot- ball crown. In fact, Kearney has held that coveted spot so long that it has become tradition for her to have it. Last year, things were different, but that was when state football was at its lowest Charlie Foster ... a capable and efficient coach, he tutored the Antelope pigskinners through a championship season. wartime ebb. Then, Coach “Pop” Klein had a squad of about twenty, and the play was limited to skirmishes with Kearney high school. West Kearney and the Kearney Army air field. With the rout of the German and the sur- render of the lap, however, Kearney's brawny footballers doffed the khaki and the blue and donned blue and gold football toggery. Charles Foster was signed to lead Kearney's first post-war team to statewide victory when The Popper” joined Nebraska University's coaching staff. Mentor Foster had a few vets at the out- set, and more came as the season pro- gressed and victories were racked up. Take men like Bob Spelts, for instance. He brought pounds of brawn and pre-war grid experience to bolster Kearney football hopes. There were others—Walker, Os- born, Snowden, Brown—the spark the start of the post-war squad. Coach Foster gives some valuable pointers to Cecil Patterson, Kenneth Shibata, Wallace Walker and Francis Bell. Page 98 Front Row. sitting: ft. Gard, K. Shibata. ft. Stieivater, N. Kruback.

In their first engagement they renewed rivalry v ith Hastings college; rivalry broken only by the war; rivalry that dates back through 34 games to 1896. In the other 34 games, Hastings won 22, lost seven, tied five. The Broncos last won in 1940 by a 14-7 margin. In the last meet- ing of the teams, Kearney copped 40-0, in 1942. Again this year, the Antelopes polished off the Broncos in the first home game. Let's look into that game . . . By taking a hustling Hastings college team into camp 30 to 6, Kearney's Antelopes made an impressive post-war beginning. Antelope backs, showing the same speed that long ago won fame for Kearney, tore the green Bronco line to shreds in the first quarter to chalk up two touchdowns, an- other in the second quarter and two in the final period. Sparked by Cecil Patterson, the flashy back from Ansley, the Antelopes had little trouble routing by a 27-0 score, a second rival, the Fremont Midlanders. After a score- less first period, Kearney turned on the heat with Patterson, Osborn, Kruback, and Bell racking up tallies for the blue and gold.

Starting early in the first quarter, Antelope footballers drove 88 yards to paydirt, which launched a scoring parade that swamped the Wes- leyan Methodists. Wesleyan's only score came during one brief period in the second quarter when a lucky pass proved good for a touchdown. It was not a difficult game for the Antelopes who were, by that time, well conditioned. Continuing to blaze their winning trail when they put their fourth foe on the record for a 21-6 win, the Antelopes bowled over the powerless Chadron Eagles. It was not, however, an easy takeover, and required more stamina than had the first three games. Chadron put up a good fight. It was, in- deed, the hardest, roughest game of the season yet for the Kearney boys, and it shaped them for the Doane encounter on the following Friday night. JOHN MITCHELL spirit made up for size LAWRENCE O NELE fine blocker and plunger MAX OSBORN uncanny pass interceptor CECIL PATTERSON mado up the offensive KENNETH SHIBATA speedy and plenty tough Page 100 SIDNEY SNOWDEN rough and persistent HAL SPOHN wing play was consistent Osborn uses plenty of force in stopping a Wesleyan man while Spohn pushes close behind to back him up. Kearney's only loss was to the unexpect- edly strong Doane Tigers, 12-18, who, with their slugging halfback, Les Rozdalovsky, showed the Antelopes their first real com- petition. It was a game of brutal line drives, long runs and aerial attack, a game that gave the blue and gold boys consid- erable experience. The Antelopes outplayed a scrappy Wayne Teachers eleven, 12-7, to mar Wayne's undefeated record for the year. Kearney's line clicked in this homecom- ing bout, and the Antelopes demonstrated snappy play against the hard-hitting Waynemen. After a warm-up in the first period, both squads played in high gear to give Kearney's homecomers an old- fashioned'' game of ball. Kearney wound up its first post-war foot- ball season with a 19-0 victory over Chad- ron Teachers. Scoring in the first, third and fourth periods, and with the ball on the Chadron one-yard marker when the game ended, the Antelopes took an easy victory at the hands of the out-weighed Eagles. This was how Kearney's Antelopes staged their comeback. The inactivity of war years served to quicken Kearney's appetite for victory, not to kill it.

It was a season that lacked the pre-war color, the excitement and the snappy oflcnsive-play that long since has become tradition wi.h Antelope basketball men. Mentor Charlie Foster made no alibis, however. Kear- ney's genial sports tutor showed his boys four victories in eighteen starts and showed fans of the state collegiate hoop game a couple of things about ringing the baskets. Those two things in scoring came in the persons of Dick Peterson, who led state ball handlers v ith 250 points, and Wally Walker, who v ith 151 tallies finished fourth. In their first outing, the Kearney boys took a 77-44 shel- lacking at the hands of a better-prepared Midland crew. Dropping a tough one to the highly-touted Fort Hays, Kansas, quintet, 49-33, was a blow to Kearney's hoopsters who held the edge until the closing minutes. Foster's boys broke into the win column for the first time when the Antelopes downed York cagers 45-42. Doane college took the reins during the crucial fourth quarter when a stream of Antelope key men departed by fouls, and walked home with a 42-35 victory.

Chadron did the job 72-29 and 80-31 in the two night stand. A classy outfit from Hastings college rolled up momentum in the final two periods to take a 67-27 victory over Kearney. After a lapse of several years, the traditional feud between Kearney and Peru came to life when the An- telopes made the Peru boys work for their 60-55 victory. To a high-geared Wayne quin- tet, the Antelopes gave an easy 65 to 44 tri- umph on the Wayne maples. It was a mad scramble when the Antelopes went down in defeat to the Plainsmen from Nebraska Wesleyan, 45 to 41.

Avenging an early-season loss to the Tigers, the Ante- lopes went out in front early in the game and racked up a 55 to 48 win over Doane. Meeting York in a ragged con- test, Kearney cagers whipped the York crew a second time to the tune of 53 to 44. Kearney's second two-game proved fatal and gave the Peru Bobcats a little-contested 79 to 44 triumph and Nebraska Wesleyan an out-and-out fight before dropping 40 to 31. Turn- ing on the heat in the second half when the inspired Kear- ney team turned cold, the Hastings Broncos downed a spir- ited Antelope challenge 50 to 43. Kearney's fourth and last victory came at the hands of the favored Midland Warriors to confuse state collegiate basketball dopesters. In the finale, a tottering Wayne basket- ball team survived a late rally by the Antelopes to take home a 41 to 36 triumph.

In their 1946 debut, Kearney cin- dermen dropped an 83V2 to 521 2 track and field setback to big Don Mclllece and the Hastings Broncos. After their warmup with the Broncs, the Fostermen were tuned to give the boys from Doane a close run, Doane winning the event after Tiger- man Les Rozdolovsky had the last throw in the javelin contest to beat Walker's toss. In the third event of the season, Kearney won top honors in a meet with York and Hastings and in a later meet gave Doane and Peru plenty of competition before Peru finally claimed first place. Track men for the 1945-46 season included Clifford Alexander, Dean Baalhorn, Bill Beasley, Jim Belsch- ner, Don Boyd, Virgil Ferguson, Arlo Gard, Francis Ferry, Bill Gallagher, Bill Gogan, Bill Harvey, Harold Her- mann, Virgil Korte, Arnold Leonard, Getting in shape for the busy season of the first post- war year are Arlo Gard.

LETTERMEN DISPLAY EMBLEMS OF LONG LABOR On his manly chest he wears a yellow ‘K.’ The parody certainly isn't poetic, but it is meaningful. K” men are tops in cour- age, loyalty, and clean sportsmanship, in competition and in real life. This is distinc- tive of any Kearney team. K” sweaters are tops with N S T C co-eds. This is only incidental. But whenever one sees a fel- low on the campus with a huge K em- blazoned on his sweater, he knows at once he is meeting a member of the ”K Club. This club is an organization of and for athletics, and because of its distinctive na- ture was practically non-existant during the last three years. It was reorganized this year, however, and once again took its place in the traditional campus activities. The K Club was first organized by Pop” Klein, who was formerly coach at N S T C and the club's first sponsor. C. H. Foster was the sponsor this year. Merlin Menagh was president, Robert Spelts was vice-president and Wallace Walker was sec- retary-treasurer. Arlo Gard and William Harvey served on the planning committee. The wearer of the K works to promote loyalty and cooperation among Kearney athletes. To win that coveted K,” he must put in long hours of practice on the field of battle and reach the ultimate in team ■ peration and good fellowship. He must also play fair in times of defeat as well as in times of victory. Quality not quantity marks athletic lead- ers, and as an honorary organization of the athletic department of the campus, the K” Club has succeeded admirably. This year it also sponsored an inter-high school meet v ith the emphasis on physical edu- cation and an invitational high school track meet. Pag? 10G GIRL ATHLETES DEVELOP COMPETITIVE SPIRIT When W ft ft members participate in any athletic event, one soon realizes that N S T C has fine women athletes as well as men. Members of the Women's Athletic Association firmly believe that organized and directed play is an important part of living as well as a preparation for spend- ing leisure time, and intend to practice what they preach. This year W A A girls had a full pro- gram of recreational events. In early fall they sponsored an open house for freshmen girls and had a picnic at Cotton Mill lake. They also sponsored a Tri-Valley Play day, an intramural volleyball tournament in which the sophomores won, an open house for men and had a March play day. Vol- leyball, basketball, badminton, table tennis, swimming and tennis are main events every year. For such activities, the girls have an op- portunity to win the coveted K-letter, a locket, a W A A pin and a sweater. These awards are given for each year's partici- pation in W A A events. Officers for the year were Marjorie De- Brunner, president; Barbara King, vice-presi- dent; Donna Neal, corresponding secretary; Joyce Larson, recording secretary; Viola Mortensen, treasurer. Harriett Yingling was sponsor. Girls may play girl's rules, and boys may play boy's, but let it be known that W A A gals are mighty good. They may moan in misery, I'm so-o stiff!! I'm three-quarters dead!! I can't move!! , but let somebody challenge them to a fast game of basketball and the stiffness miraculously disappears. Besides, “it's fun to be healthy and a good way to be. Sportsmanship, loyalty and leadership constitute the three primary aims of the Wo- men's Athletic Association, organized on the campus in 1937.

Page 107 Page 108 HIGHLIGHTS WELL AFFORDED BY DEMOCRATIC IDEALS Everything happened in 1945 - 46, big things and little things. There were queens crowned and doughnuts dunked, dances held and cokes sipped. Together they made up the essence of vibrant campus activity. Some of the events of the year were so successful that they were estab- lished as annual affairs to be held at future dates in the Student Union Memorial. Big or little, that's where the nucleus of all things will be.

Lofty seniors who had one year of normal school life before the enroll- ment thinned out assured them that it was, indeed, very much like the old days.

When students of the college estab- lished the Buck-a-Month club they real- ized at once that not just students and faculty members were interested in the proposed Student Union Memorial build- ing. Not only did alumni, townspeople and people from the surrounding terri- tory join the club and give a dollar every month to its cause, but they donated lump sums of money to the fund and the thou- sand dollars originally bequeathed by the late Miss Lulu Wirt for a Student Union grew steadily. One of the outstanding drives of the current year was sponsored by the Kearney Veterans of Foreign Wars and held at the armory building. Bus- iness men gave products and items from their stores and shops to be auctioned off in the drive. The money received was contributed to the memorial fund. Stu- dents of the college joined with the vet- ans on one of the coldest days of the winter in making the drive a success.

When various activities were being abandoned during the war years, stu- dents could count on the carnival. The YWCA managed to make it a success- ful event each year, and this Christmas the attractions blossomed out in extra glory and made the occasion one of the most gala of the year. The first and second floors of the administration build- ing were crowded with booths, side shows, skits and game stands. Each organization on the campus sponsored its own entertainment center and the halls were alive with gayety and fun. ...AND DEVELOP SOCIALLY Not to ... bo outdone . . . Myron Groon.

September brought green caps. Tradition went its merry way and gave everyone something to do in his spare time. The great day finally came and Bob Spelts as judge presided over Kangaroo Court in formidable fashion. Offending freshmen paid their pen- alties with no questions asked. Homecoming and the traditional tug-o-war found the upperclassmen out-numbered. The fresh- men victors threw away their caps forever and the fall season was brought to an eventful close with the election of Ruth Wendell as the first Homecoming Sweet- heart.

This year brought several outstanding performers to the stage of the college audi- torium. The Iyceum schedule got off to an excellent start in the fall with dancer Allan Wayne and his assisting artists, Diane Keith and Elaine Sarnoff. Kearneyites were pleased when Louise Meiszner returned for another piano concert, this time accom- panied by Ruth Henderson at the second piano. Frances Magnes, violinist, appeared later in the year before an appreciative au- dience and was followed in the spring by James B. Pond, lecturer and humorist, who entertained his listeners with the life of Mark Twain. Jean Carlton, soprano, and William Wright, bass-baritone, sang in an April con- cert. The year 1945-46 at Kearney college was not lacking in cultural opportunities.
