Today you pause once again before those gateways to step across the threshold into a new role, having traversed the hallway of years, having completed the final chapter in the book entitled College Career. You are proud with a right to be proud for you have indeed accomplished great things. You are eager to try your new-found skills and to achieve the success that so right- fully belongs to you. You are confident of your abilities for you have grown from that timid youngster to leaders among men, learned, matured adults. You wonder where the years have gone. We wonder too. It has been our privilege to share the innumerable memorable experiences of college days with you, to work with you, laugh with you, and progress under your guidance and with your help, to laud your honors and hold you as ideals, to make your acquaintances and to become your lifelong friends. We would that we could tell time to stand still, but such a thing is not possible. The day of graduation has dawned and you are ready. Reluctantly but proudly . . oh, so proudly . . . we watch you go. Down the avenue and into the waiting world.

THE STAFF• • • FOREWORD • • ADMINISTRATION • ORGANIZATIONS • ATHLETICS • FEATURES Contor of your classroom activity was tho Administration Building, pictured above. When you wore a freshman, those portals wel- comed you; now they form the threshhold to a successful tomorrow. Page 10 I? • r r • h,' CAMPUS VIEWS Down the avenue of shady trees, the twin towers of the Administration Building could be seen, a symbol of cool, inviting, spacious buildings and classrooms, offer- ing lasting friendships, unforgetable experiences, and vocational preparation. You came . . . and you found there all that you had hoped for: a campus equally beautiful in winter or in summer, pleasant living quarters, recreational provisions, well-planned curriculums, and an interested and competent faculty and administration. The corner stone of the main building v as laid in 1904, north and south wings added in 1910 and 1912, and the auditorium completed in 1916. Housing classrooms and clubrooms, the Administration Building, located at the hub of a nation, has indeed been the hub of college activity. Whore iho girls lived and what the boys lived for was the Eva I. Case Hall. Always pleasant and efficient was house- mother of the girls' dormitory. Mrs. Elisa- both Thomas, and her assistants. Page 12 Here we get a glimpse oi Francos Amon. studying Shakespeare in her typical Case Hall room. □Duns Case Hall, home of college women since 1930, was the center of many of the college's high jinks. Its three floors were filled with girls from many states. The spacious first floor reception room was not only the ideal spot on the cam- pus as far as the men were concerned, but it served as the site of many in- formal, after-hours dorm meetings. Living in Case Hall was exciting and pleasant. Besides being a hat rack tor 120 fellows. Mon's Hall housed both 4ho cafeteria and the K a m p u s Kave. Erected in 1939, Men's Hall will always be regarded as one of the most beautiful buildings on the college campus. Through- out the year, it was filled to overflowing with veterans, for the most part, from every theatre of war. However, all occupants had a common bond and aim—to secure an Known to all as Mom , Mrs. adequate education. Living together in B.rthaiyn PraH jcopt,busy looking Men's Hall brought this one common goal into a harmonious whole. Companionship and friendliness radiated from its structure. Home of the boogio boat and the morning newspaper, the beautiful reception room of Men's Hall was a favorite meeting-place. Page 13 Scono of the yoar's college dancos, swimming meets, and basketball tournoys, was the College Gym. Health and recreation being an indispens- able item on any curriculum program, the college gym was indeed a popular place. It provided for the teams classrooms and dressing rooms, and an excellent basketball floor that this year could not begin to ac- comodate all the enthusiastic fans who crowded in to watch. The swimming pool was open daily for any student who cared to try his waterwings; the ping-pong tables were by appointment only. The gym floor on Friday evenings was transformed into a gaily decorated dance floor for the after-game dances sponsored and promoted by the Student Council. A Kickapoo Joy Juice stand was set up in one far corner for the Sadie Hawkins dance, and a goal-post platform erected for the crowning of the Homecoming Sweetheart. The nightly practices of Norris and his Haring orchestra were often held in the gym, and its facilities used in the Trivalley high school meet of the Women's Athletic Asso- ciation. Wesleyan Falls flowed and rippled down one side at the homecoming football game, and shouts of merriment were heard as an unusual council trundled in on Kan- geroo Court day. Highly-competitive and exciting intra-mural games were also played upon its floor, and all recreational fa- cilities were in constant use the year out. Page 14 Elaino Brun cheesecaked for the photographor while Coach Charlie Foster's swimming class looked on. MV Included in the residence hall for men were the college cafeteria and kitchen where wholesome, appetizing, reasonably-priced food was prepared and served daily by Miss Lawson, and where hungry students were prone to gather and drool. Clubs frequently met in the beautifully designed faculty din- ing room for impressive and long-remem- bered initiation services. Green Terrace assumed a new role this past year, by playing host to veteran fam- ilies awaiting completion of the housing units. It continued to serve as Faculty Men's Club House, and was the scene of many a faculty party. Below: Even though running a Collogo Caiotorio was a big job, Miss Beulah Lawson seemed happy about it all. Page 15 Headquarters of your pals, the place to go for a good time, was the Kampus Kave. Besides furnishing super-deluxe malts at pre-war low prices, the juke box was all for free. Anybody and everybody with an extra half hour made it their business to be at the Kave. The hand- painted murals, which depicted every phase of college life, served to cheer up even the most depressed eager-beaver. The serve-yourself booths were the ideal spot for your crowd to hash over the latest, even if it meant eight to a booth! Fun was king at the Kampus Kave. Studont teacher Delphina Shoup .-.miles at a topeeiul the ft. O. Thomas training school. of small fry in A. O. Thomas School served you well as a training ground for the future. Ex- perience, as offered in A. O. Thomas, was of invaluable aid to potential teachers. Able supervisors and willing tiny tots brought into play all the skill and knowl- edge you possessed. Student teachers at A. O. Thomas received not only good ex- perience, but many a suppressed smile over the antics of a citizen of tomorrow. Though wo watched tho space for spec- ials, we accepted a pre-war pricod malt from Mr . Roso Wardrop. director of tho Kampus Kave. Page 16 Introducing a new element in the col- lege atmosphere was the erection of the veterans housing units. No longer were all the men that roved college corridors eligible bachelors. Many were family men. The first group of housing units con- tained accommodations for twenty fam- ilies. The unit was comprised of four buildings, which contained a variety of apartment sizes to suit the individual needs. The utility, the one-bedroom, the two-bedroom, the three-bedroom apart- ments were filled with homey furnishings, also supplied by the government. Veterans Village wrote a Charter in August of 1946. This Charter provided for the general election of a council to form the policies of the village. The five council members choose one of that group to act as mayor. The head man of the pint-sized community throughout 1946 and 1947 was Elton Toops. Dreams came true for veteran fami- lies like the Honry Miskos upon the completion of the housing units. Elton Toops. shown with wife, Diana, served as mayor of the vil- lage. Whether you liked meatballs or clam chowder, it was bound to be good if it ccme out of Mrs. Elton Toops' veterans village kitchen. Page 17 Page 19 HERBERT L. CUSHING. Educator In 1936 a man, whose ideals, hopes, and aspirations were to have far-reaching ef- fects, walked into the administration build- ing of the State Teachers College of Kearney and assumed the presidency of the institu- tion. It was fortunate that this man arrived when he did for in the ensuing years his strong hand was of immeasurable help in guiding the students of Kearney College through that tumultuous period that we now call the prelude to war. The story of our president's life is well- known to all students for it is typical of the desire for education and success of many. He was born in the little city of Ord, Ne- braska. In high school his apparent interest in education was evident for he registered for a normal training course, and upon grad- uation he accepted a position as teacher of a rural school in Valley County, fit the end of two years he was employed in a hard- ware and implement store, where after fif- teen months he had earned and saved enough money to attend the Grand Island College. Records indicate that he participated in numerous college events, was active in basketball, debate, college publications, and served as president of the Y.M.C.fi. and a literary society. He augmented the depleted hardware funds by working in a salebam and a shoe store; he knew the true meaning of working to be educated. Miss Bovorly Haxby was of invaluable aid when let- ters, records, and statistics were needed. Sixteen years later he completed work on his Masters Degree at the University of Chicago and the University of Nebraska. Twenty-two years after this, he received his Doctor of Education Degree from the Ne- braska V esleyan University. Editors Wardrop and Lowis discussed Blue and Gold problems with the President, who was not at all per- turbod. Page 20 th PRESIDENT When war was declared in 1941 and the young men in our colleges and universities were called to the army, navy, and marine camps, this man, then president of Kearney State Teachers College, saw hundreds of fellows whom he had come to know inti- mately step forth from the roles of students and assume the roles of fighting men. Many of them did not return. During the dark days of the war, he kept his college alive and functioning, and upheld the ideals, prin- ciples, and high standards v hich have al- ways been maintained. Men, who saw life in every part of the world, were proud to sit once again in the class rooms of Kearney College. Touching upon the personal life of our president, we find that his early ambition v as to become—not a college president— but a railroad engineer or a cowboy ac- cordion player! His leisure time is spent in fishing or in reading such books as Days of Our Years by Pierre Van Paassen or Of Such is the Kingdom , listening to the Con- certo in C Minor or to Fats Waller's Keep- ing Out of Mischief Now , discussing eco nomics, or baking angel food cakes. Pan- cakes, maple syrup, ham, eggs, and coffee rank high on the food list as well. Even presidents have most embarrassing moments, and he recalls when a friend and fellow classmate, on the occasion of his first date, removed the chair from behind him at a high school junior-senior banquet. His proudest moment was when he became a father. Today, son, Herbert, Jr., plans on entering Harvard Law School in June, and daughter, Margaret Anderson, hopes to be located in Omaha where her husband, upon his dis- charge from the army, will be associated with an Omaha hospital. Grandson Greg- ory, age two, hasn't quite decided what his plans are as yet. Yes, he is known to all students and loved by all. He is liked for his sincere interest in each individual, his friendliness, and his ef- ficient administration. Few men would have been equal to the tasks which have con- fronted him and which have been brought to a successful completion. We can all be justly proud of him—as in- deed we all are. His name? Herbert L. Cushing. School activities and poli- cies wore clarified when President Cushing spoke at convocation. V o t o r a n s rccoivod con- sideration when Del Danker.

Ready to help you solve that weighty problem or maybe just glad to have a good talk were the deans of the college. Miss filice M. Robinson, whose second- floor office was a popular spot, took a genuine interest in the perplexities facing her college girls. By her soft-spoken, pleasant manner, many a girl has re- DEARS• turned to the trials of college life with a gleam of hope and the desire to conquer the situation. Not only by serving as dean, but by teaching several English and Latin classes, Dean Robinson had an opportunity to know and understand the college students. Another popular spot on the second floor was Dean Robinson's bulletin board where you could eithe; read the latest news bulletins or Lil' Abner. Mead man for the men was Dean Ber- nard Stutheit, whose office was crammed from the start with an assortment of fel- lows. Changes in schedules and dormi- tory regulations were among the topics that occupied his time. The men of the college respected Dean Stutheit because they recognized his ability to dig them out when they were in pretty deep. Ad- vice was a very valuable thing when it came from a man like Dean Stutheit. Dean Stutheit's job was even bigger this year, due to the large number of veteran enrollees. In that regard, there was a drastic change. The men outnumbered the women two to one. Besides all of these advisory duties. Dean Stutheit managed to teach several English classes. He was, indeed, a busy and popular man on the campus. L. Adams ' II. L. Ahrondts H. Auchtor W. E. Bruner A. E. Burke P. Campbotl K. Carlson F. Carroll H. E. Corny J.

You are the individu- als with the laurel on your brows, the degrees at- tached to your names, the grins upon your faces. You have succeeded in achieving the ultimate goal of every eager-beaver in this institution ... a college education. Not too long ago you arrived on the threshold of N.S.T.C., waving a high school diploma, wearing a letter sweater, and fully intending to revolutionize the place. Every person from way back has had the same idea. You were surprised when the dizzy whirl did not stop in awe at your announcement, Well, here I am. We can start now.” You found that in our college, deeds speak far louder than words. Unless, of course, you're J. C. Mitchell or Pooch” Bell. In the swiftly passing years, you made a place for yourselves; you chalked up honor after honor. Fourteen of you became Who's Who Among Stu- dents in American Universities and Colleges. More than a few of you were called to war and returned to find your class made up of the kiddies for whom you were baby-sitters in pre-war days. But at long last, even Mr. Minnick got through. You were the leaders on the campus, our kings, our queens, our sweethearts. We might well add, our heartthrobs. You carried the team through to victory, led the band, published the paper, drank the coffee. You were active in all fields; you were wonderful. The caption says, Our Seniors.” Some- one has to claim you . . . we proudly do. Wish heavy books, but light spirits, these soniors trudgod to their classos.

HP� IIOI Ul lilil Page 36 find then, of course, there were you juniors. You are a vital part of any phase of college work. Without you there would be no seniors, without thd seniors there would be no dedication, without the dedication there could be no book. Which probably would be for the best. You are the potential leaders of tomorrow, the eager-beavers of today, the bewildered little people of yesterday. Under the capable direction of your president, Big Bill Long, you elected officers from the assortment of left-over sophomores and not- enough-hours seniors assigned you; at the yuletide season the carnival calls—which could have only been vours—of Play Bingo resounded down the hallways; in spring you faced the perplexities of a senior breakfast with a stout heart and small budget. You were a jolly and care-free group of individ- uals. You studied long, hard moments . . . now and then; you planned great undertakings and secretly wondered who would have the ambition to carry them out; you were always on the go; you were into everything. Dependable, friendly, wonderful . . . that's you. eager, a little crazy but The class of 1948. Junior class officors wore William H. Long, prosidont, Clifford Potorson, Barbara King. Holon Dailoy.

It seemed like only a year ago you were freshmen, full of youth and spirit. Sophomores were like the filling in a sandwich, just in between—in the middle of every- thing. You began to get in gear in your sophomore year. You were members of every organization on the campus. Soon you were plotting as many as six engagements for every evening. YWCA, band con- certs, initiations, sororities, fraternities, and sports all claimed your attention. No longer was college life merely for studying; in fact, you were getting along swell in everything but school. You knew all the ins and outs of college life, by now; ycu were even directing the green freshmen around. It was amazing what only one year could do for a student. At times you doubted whether or not there was anything more to learn. After a bit of investigation and a few semester tests, you changed your mind. You became a junior.

The green hats, the registration lines, the rows and rows of sophisticated upperclassmen, who gave you the speculative eye, when you meekly walked past are never to be forgotten! find then the way you jumped every time your name van called! Don't pretend that you didn't shake in yo dirty saddles. You know better. Kangaroo Court, where justice reigned, v.cr; a looming nightmare on the horizon. Why had you. in a playful mood, stolen an upperclassman's ped- dle? You trembled. What was in store for you? fin egg shampoo with all the trimmings, a peanut race, a vocal solo, flnv one was terrible!! You lived through it all, even if your mother hadn't had any cardboard boxes for two years. The slightly grimy green hats were shed at last, to your surprise and pleasure. You were once more an inconspicuous student. Life was as it had always been, nevertheless, you were a freshman once. Don't ever forget it. Page 51 FRESHMEN First Row: HAROLD ADAMS.

Three of you were selected as cum laude students: Gertrude Langin, Imperial; Benjamin Keeley, Kearney; and John Mitchell, Kearney. Three of you received honorable mention: Helen Refshauge. York; Lloyd Baysdorfer, Long- mont, Colorado; and Dorothy Oliver, Shelton. Your selection was based upon scholarship, superior ability, diligence, and industry.

Colorado Honorablo mention . . . DOROTHY OLIVER Shelton EDUCATOR and FRIEND 'The memory of Dr. A. E. Burke will live long in the minds of those who were privileged to be associated with him. His life will serve as an inspiration to those who loved and re- spected him. So said President Herbert L. Cushing concerning the contribution made by the late Dr. A. E. Burke, director of the A. O. Thomas Training School, and Director of the Placement Bureau and Coordinator of student teachers. Dr. Burke was fatally injured when his car was struck by a westbound freight train on a grade crossing at Shelton, Nebraska, late Wednesday evening, January 15th. Funeral services for Dr. Burke were held January 20th in the First Christian Church. Three former pastors of the Christian Church in Kearney were among the large crowd of relatives and friends who gathered for the services. The Reverend Will Sessions, Jr., for- mer Christian Church pastor, in his funeral message, cited Dr. Burke for three devotions: his devotion to his work, his devotion to his family, and his devotion to his God. His death was mourned by students and faculty alike, as well as outside acquaintances. R. W. Powell, fellow instructor, said that above all, A. E. Burke was a tried and true friend, and 1 shall long cherish his memory. JoAnne Barber, who served as Dr. Burke's Placement Bureau secretary, made known her admiration for her employer in the following statement: We who have worked for him realize the total loss of a leading educator, an efficient and untiring worker, and of a man who was not perfect but great. Dr. Burke served his community and his church throughout his life. He was also a lead- ing proponent for the improvement of the teacher status. His memory will serve as a guide for you who plan to enter the teaching profession, for he left behind an example of service that will last forever. Page 65 ROBERT POLSKI. Loup City. COLLECTOR'S ITEMS These were the people you heard about. They were among the leaders in every field at NSTC. Sometimes it seemed that you could hear the reverberated sound of their names floating down the corridor. They were that much a part of the college; they were students just like you. They struggled to their eight o'clocks, they crammed for tests, and they hollered Hi to hundreds of students. Their biographies and achievements were recorded with the select of every college, in a book called, Who's Who Among Students in Amer- ican Universities and Colleges. Neva Harris, Helen Refshauge, Dick Peter- son, Marian Wardrop, Ilene Refshauge, Kay Noonan, Otis Miller, and John Mitchell dis- cussed issues in Student Council, while Who's Who representatives were active in all four of the honorary organizations. Scholarship and leadership students elected to Xi Phi were John Mitchell, Kathryn Powell, Ilene Refshauge, Marian Wardrop, Dorothy Oliver, Helen Ref- shauge, and Neva Harris; Helen Refshauge, John Mitchell, and Neva Harris expressed themselves in activities of Pi Kappa Delta. Otis Millor Kathleen Noonan Kathryn Powell Robert Harris Oshkosh Scotia Kearney Hmherst Page 66 MARIAN WARDROP. Kearney. Kathryn Powell and Helen Refshauge prac- ticed the art of business administration in Pi Omega Pi, while those skilled with a pen and who contributed to the Antler were Verne Dowers, Helen Rafshauge, Dorothy Oliver, Marian Wardrop, Ilene Refshauge, Neva Har- ris, Kathryn Powell, Kay Noonan, and John Mitchell, Sigma Tau Delta members. Not con- tent with contributing only to the Antler, these Who's Who students. Bob Polski, John Mitchell, Bob Meline, Kay Noonan, Neva Harris, Verne Dowers, Marian Wardrop, llene Refshauge, and Helen Refshauge published the Antelope and worked on the Blue and Gold. Dick Peterson, Otis Miller, and John Mitchell wore K letters, symbols of physical prowess. Verne Dowers, Neva Harris, Dorothy Oliver, and Helen Refshauge acted in all-college plays. They were also active in Women's Council, Men's Council, religious groups, and music clubs. Every club in school, every part of college life was of importance to them. Their achieve- ments were more than could be measured in the concrete sense; they left something fine for others. Kearney State Teachers College has benefited by their presence. Robert Moline Koarney Dorothy Oliver Shelton Neva Jane Harris Koarnoy Dick Potorson Kimball Page 67 Page 68 SOCIETIES Page 69 © If THIS IS YOUR GUARANTY• • Student Council members voiced opinions on pressing problems, at a typical weekly meeting. A group of students gathered before the door of the faculty committee room on a Mon- day evening and the patter of little feet charging down the hall, could mean only one thing: John Mitchell, president, was on his way to another Student Council meeting. The hours spent behind closed doors, the hushed voices discussing a secretive matter or the raised voices arguing over some par- ticularly debatable issue, resulted in innumer- able accomplishments. Thanks to the time and effort spent by these students, the activities of N.S.T.C.ers were prominent among the col- leges of the state. In early fall, the K-book, handbook for stu- dents, was edited by Council member, Cathryn Spelts, to acquaint newcomers with Kearney College. Special summer meetings were held to plan for and arrange the welcome of fresh- men students, and a mixer held the first week helped strangers at once to feel a part of its student body, and to truly appreciate the friendly atmosphere of the college. During registration. Student Council members con- ducted a campus tour to acquaint newcomers with buildings and classrooms, and as the year progressed, the terrors of Kangeroo Court were instigated by the same group. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Mary Morse and Mr. Rolland Welch, and under the efficient direction of John C. Mitchell, president, assisted by Vice-president Gerald Richter and Secre- tary-Treasurer Marian Wardrop, the home- coming parade and dance was one of the finest. Campus decorations and floats were in Page 70 THE PEOPLE, YES abundance, the annual freshmen-upperclass- men tug-of-war resulted in a decision for the green caps, and the day's activities were cli- maxed by the crowning of llene Refshauge as Homecoming Sweetheart. October found Council members engrossed in preparation for a Sadie Hawkins day race and dance, as well as the sponsoring of weekly dances after each football game in the college gym. On Sadie's day, the ladies? of the cam- pus took out after their dreammen and en- tertained them at a hilarious evening dance, complete with hill-billy orchestra, costumes, and joy juice stand. As the winter stormed on, the Council orig- inated hour dances sponsored by various or- ganizations at the Kampus Kave and began preparation for the President's Ball in early spring. Meetings of the officers of the Buck-A- Month Club were Council-sponsored. Accomplishments of the Council this year in- cluded one which shall be acknowledged and appreciated by students in years to come. In collaboration with sister colleges, the Council Student Council bigwigs. John Mitcholl and Gerald Richter, occupied their time with government aifairs. Student, that is. prepared a liberal arts degree petition to be presented to the State Legislature. Yes, the Council was a highly important group on the campus. Their weekly meetings marked the beginning of more than one out- standing activity. Through their endeavors and the proficiency with which they carried these endeavors out, they fulfilled their purpose: that of self-government and student betterment, well. They brought not only recognition to the students at the Nebraska State Teachers Col- lege in Kearney, but they set forth ideals and formulated new activities that will be followed to good advantage by groups in the future.

Dorothy Oliver glanced over the uneasy group around the table in the Faculty Dining Room and grinned, “find now we'll read the essays, please! Apple polishing and banner toting had been eliminated along with other campus hazing, but Xi Phi hopefuls were still required to write and read essays on assigned subjects before being admitted to active membership. Standards for this honorary scholarship fraternity were high: membership restricted to twenty-four, such selection being based on a scholarship average of B, plus outstanding leadership, fellowship, and participation in campus organizations. Among the activities of this busy group were the annual awarding of the ten-dollar Xi Phi award to the outstanding sophomore boy and girl at Honors Day Convocation, the formal Christmas dinner at the Fort Kearney Green Room, and the .spring dinner held for the first time with other honorary organizations of the campus. Eleven of the fourteen selected as Who's Who students were Xi Phi members, while Dorothy Oliver. Shelton senior, was elected president. Other officers included Ruth Wen- dell as Vice-president, Neva Jane Harris as treasurer, Hilda Lola as recording secretary, Jessie Gilpin as corresponding secretary, and Dr. H. G. Stout and Dorothy Williams as spon- sors. QUALITY TELLS - - Xi Phi oliicors turned an attontivo oa: to the instructions ol President, Doro- thy Olivor, as she discussed member- ship lists. Page 72 THE ITCH OF LINES' - Literary lingo was the topic of Sigma Tau Doha board moot- ings, with Verno Dowers siding. When you came upon an individual bent over a heap of blank paper, tearing his hair, you almost knew it was a Sigma Tau Delta member. These were the creative creatures of the campus. But when spring came, The Antler proved to be worth the hair-pulling, and these literary-minded students were proud of their publication. Cathryn Spelts, Antler editor, was kept busy reading copy for the only purely literary publication on the campus. The booklet made its debut in the early spring, and was rapidly purchased by interested stu dents. The financial end of the proposition was the responsibility of Gerald Richter. Sigma Tau Delta president, Verne Dowers, kept the organization running smoothly with the aid of Calvin T. Ryan, English department head. He also profited by the advice of Marian Wardrop, vice-president, Maxine Wardrop, secretary, Kathleen Noonan, treasurer, and Ruth Dunbar, historian. Monthly meetings, under the direction of John Mitchell, featured a wide variety of pro- grams. The Christmas and spring dinners saw members in their best bib and tucker, banquet- ing at the Fort Kearney Hotel. The famous spoonbread breakfast held at the Ryan home, featured not only Mr. Ryan's famous spoonbread, but plenty of extra food for literary appetites. Sigma Tau Delta was adequately repre- sented in Who's Who, by entering nine mem- bers, which is fifty per cent of the total mem- bership. Also, this organization had the addi- tional honor of containing within its ranks, both the Homecoming Sweetheart and the Christ- mas Queen. First Row: Mr. C. T. Ryan. foAnno Barbor. Vorno Dowors.

Pi Kappa Delta members were always to be recognized by the glib tongues they possessed, by the way thier bags were perpetually packed for tournaments,- and by the careful scrutiny they gave each opinion that was ex- pressed. The highlight of the forensic year came with the Pi Kappa Delta National Tournament at Bowling Green, Ohio. Kearney members, how- ever, were to be found at the State Intercolle- giate Forensic Association Tournament, the Nebraska University Speech Tournament, and the Rocky Mountain Speech Tournament. Heading this year's soapboxers were John C. Mitchell, president. Bob Parkins, vice-presi- dent, Margaret Harris, secretary-treasurer, and Helen Refshauge, corresponding secretary. Meetings were held informally once each month throughout the year. Kearney's Pi Kappa Deltans were nationally known for their forensic endeavors. John Mitchell was given an outstanding speaker's award in the National Debator's Magazine, while Bob Parkins and Ella Mae Sizer won third in the old-line Oratory Contest at North- western. Also, these three members hold spe- cial distinction keys in the national organiza- tion. Under the guidance and direction of Mr. Harold L. Ahrendts, faculty sponsor, the Zeta chapter of the Pi Kappa Delta promised to and did indeed bring home honors galore to Kearney State.

BACKQROUND IS IMPORTANT When the streamliner pulled out of the city of Kearney on Christmas Day, 1946, it had among its passengers two very chic, eager, and enthusiastic young ladies, Helen Ref- shauge and Lorraine Schmidt, selected by members of Pi Omega Pi to represent the State Teachers College at the three-day national convention in Chicago. With Helen Refshauge serving as president, Kathryn Powell, secretary, and Hilda Lola, treasurer, the honorary commercial fraternity fulfilled its purpose: that of promoting interest in commerce among commercial teachers. Miss Mildred Payne of the commercial department, and Miss Dorothy Williams, Bursar, were the fraternity's sponsors. When February 6th through 14th was des- ignated as rush week of sororities and frater- nities, the group sponsored by Harriett Yinc- ling and Paul Evett, and under the direction of Dean Nicholson, president, Frances Amen, sec- retary, and Helen Refshauge, treasurer, were responsible for setting up all rush rules and enforcing the same. Is everybody happy? might well have been the cry of the Inter-Fraternity-Sorority Council, for theirs was the ticklish business of satisfying the needs and the desires of all greek organizations on the campus. Informal business meetings were held once monthly to decide on party dates, and to supervise plans for dances, teas, and dinners.

Del Danker. QOOD NEWS FOR VETERANS In the wake of the recent war came the re- turning G. I. For the best interests of him and his family, the government provided housing units for his use, while he attended college. Kearney State received its share of veterans and units. Founded for the purpose of aiding the occu- pants of the housing project, the Veterans Vil- lage Association was established. The set-up was exactly like that of a village, with a mayor and a council, elected by the residents. The veterans displayed their cooperation in campus activities by carrying off first prize for the float they entered in the Homecoming pa- rade. Another of their activities was the village picnic, held late last summer. This year's mayor, Elton Toops, was given assistance by Del Danker, the director of the veterans housing project. At a regular monthly date, you could find the residents of Veterans Village, holding a meeting concerning their welfare and interests. Veterans wives, Vordio Wintors. Betty Mitchell. Claudia Lukes.

LITTERATEURS The oldest organization on the campus, the Aspasians by name, was founded with the pur- pose of teaching parliamentary law to its members. But not only do the ftspasians man- age to teach parliamentary law; they have plenty of fun on the side. Among their lighter activities were a masquerade party, a Christ- mas party, and also a formal dinner, where the pink and silver organization colors were predominate. With officers like Phyllis Nelson, Darline Graf, Lorraine Schmidt, and June Nama, and the sponsorship of Miss Carrie Ludden, the fls- pasians were the right club to belong to. It was an honor to be a Zip Club member. Not only were they among the chosen few allowed to sit on the main floor at basketball games, but they followed the team with all the spirit they could rally, and from the way it sounded, they had plenty of it. The Zip Club displayed their interest by at- tending and sponsoring football trips to Hastings and Wayne. Bonfires before big events displayed the farsightedness and in- genuity of this club. The field of school spirit was not their only interest, but they also served as ushers for all college events, and managed a booth at the Christmas Carnival.

Maxino Wardrop and Norma Lewis, checked up on finances with business managers, Botty Hunt and Jim Belschnor. Yipe! said the editor and the book was begun. Whoop-la! shouted she and the book was at an end. But in between that Yipe! and Whoop-la! there was bedlam. The baby , as the Blue and Gold was fondly called, was bom August, 1946. Editor, Maxine Wardrop, floundering in the children's end of Harmon Pool, suddenly decided to dedicate it to the seniors. Not long after, she began won- dering which year of seniors would even see it completed. First came the signing of printing and en- graving contracts, after which the dummy was laid out and the mad dash for film and flash- bulbs began. The camera was a tempera- mental darling and often went off by itself, which resulted in some rather unique and un- distinguishable shots. John Mitchell resumed duties as staff photographer and could be found at all campus activities to shoot a few people. Other staff members—some of whom haven't appeared for duty as yet—were Em- mett Gannon, Barbara King, Bob Meline, Dean Wallace. Helen Refshauge, Bob Hayes, Kay Noonan, JoAnne Barber, and Gerald Richter. Norma Lewis became Associate Editor and long afternoons were spent over the coffee cups with the editor, thrashing out the latest problems and making long and hilarious trips to Lincoln. Business Manager, Betty Grosh Hunt, busied herself trying to pay the bills of the above two and pounding the pavement with Jim Belsch- ner. Assistant, Elaine Webb, Bob Polski, and Don Boyd, selling advertisements. The baby took a lot of bring up and more than once became a problem child. It is the result of a year's commotion and hectivity, but an enjoyable one. We hope you have en- joyed it too. “Hold it!” said stall photographer John Mitcholl to stall members. Dean Wallace.

Well, the Antelope staff kept their eyes and ears open and you could bank on the fact that there would be plenty of scoops for the Friday edition. The head newshawk was editor-in-chief, Verne Dowers, and right on his toes was Bar- clay Wade, assistant editor. The problem of selling advertisement was tackled by James F. Bowers, who was aided by Margaret Peterson. They were the nucleus of the newspaper, but of great value were the numerous reporters who hit their beat every week. In fact, every time you walked by the crackerbox Antelope office, you could see them either jammed in fifty to a square inch, or hollering at Dowers or Bowers to open the door. The voice of the friendly college as the new nameplate said, hit the news from boiler room to chemistry lab, and it did it unbiasedly and accurately. The Antelope covered every- thing that was newsable. No wonder the paper table was the popular place in college on an early Friday morning. •••«- •• WVM lUjli V , A VU JVBIOii Joan Allhouse.

This religious organization understood that the first days of a college career were pretty rough sledding, so they provided a Big Sister for freshmen girls. Big Sisters came in handy, not only for advice and information, but as a get-acquainted factor in college life. The YWCA was always active and always busy. Among their first activities were the Marshmallow Sing at Kearney Lake to wel- come new students, and the membership and installation dinner. Then later on you heard of them again when Dr. Kirby Page visited the campus under the sponsorship of the YWCA and gave a convocation program. That week was also the week for the World Student Service Fund, and the offering was supple- mented by the receipts of a sacrificial dinner. The Christmas Carnival was the brainchild of the YWCA, planned and supervised by them, and half of all the money was given to the Estes Co-op Fund, which would enable representatives to attend the Estes Park Con- ference. YWCA also played hostess to the Student Christian Movement Conference which was held on the Kearney campus early in the spring. First Row: F. Hurdlo. O. Johnson. T. Lowis. K. Noyos. R. Dunbar. M.

CALM CENTER IN A BUSY WHIRL Few persons remember the year 1916, but on that date students on the campus organized the Catholic Students Association. Their pri- mary purpose was the promotion of catholic action and the enrichment of spiritual life, and since that time the club has taken an active part in campus activities. In their comfortable room on third floor. Catholic students met for religious and social meetings every second Wednesday evening. Under the sponsorship and guidance of Bev- erly Haxby and Father Tschida, members pre- sented for discussion religious questions and problems. Discussion included such topics as marriage by Father Tschida, and a first-hand account of the Vatican City, Rome, by Herman Kersenbrock. On the first Sunday of each month, members received communion in a group. Catholic students could be found not only delving into religious problems, but planning and participating in social activities as well. The Christmas Breakfast at the Fort Kearney Hotel was a highlight of the year, along with the fall and spring picnics, and a spring ban- quet. A most recent accomplishment of club af- filiates was the organization of a choir to sing at one mass each month throughout the year and at Wednesday evening devotions during Lent. Robert Polski and Emmett Gannon served as presidents for the group, v hile other officers included Shirley Veal, Gertrude Langin, Ber- nard Shotkoski, Aldon Sobieszczyk, and Alice Wink. First Row: A.

YMCA members not only cooperated and helped plan all YWCA activities, such as the Christmas Carnival, but had the honor of having Eugene Yanney elected as Chairman of the District Council. Realizing that physical fitness was an im- portant part in any school program, the YMCA organized an intra-mural basketball team. Officers for this year were Robert Hayes, president, Donald Boyd, vice-president, Albert Lukes, secretary, and Robert Bissell, treasurer. Mr. Harry Auchter served as sponsor of the or- ganization. The Lutheran Student Association had as its aim and ideal the promotion of a healthy social life and strong Christian character in every member. The highlight of the year's program was the installation of officers in the sanctuary of the Kearney Lutheran Church. Wilfred Nuemberger v as installed as president by Mr. Otto Olson, the club sponsor, and Reverend Walfred Nelson. A standout among the social activities of this organization was the annual ice-skating party, which was plenty of fun for everyone. The Lutheran students also sponsored a most successful Christmas Carnival booth, featuring not only nylons but soap chips as well.

PAYS TO KNOW “Aunt Nellie's indigestion” and Uncle Wil- lie's gout ' were common topics for discussion among a particular group on the campus known as the Pre-Medics, Pre-Nurses Club. This club, organized to promote the welfare of the students interested in the profession of medicine, was made up of those preparing themselves carefully and scientifically to answer that ever urgent call, Is there a doctor in the house? The monthly meetings planned and pre- sented by president. Bob Hunt, vice-president, Louise McMahon, and secretary-treasurer. Mary Pecht, featured special programs at which leaders in the profession discussed re- cent advances in the medical field and con- ducted various and educational experiments. Sponsors were Miss Carrie Ludden and Mrs. Mildred Hansen. Candlelight and gleaming silver were char- acteristic of the receptions given after the con- certs presented by music groups at the college, by Apollonian Music Club members. Recently organized for the purpose of developing ap- preciation of good music, club members held monthly meetings at the homes of the spon- sors, Mr. Gavin Doughty. Mr. Harold Cerny, Mrs. Robert Haines, and Mr. Robert House, at which time programs were presented under the direction of officers Eunice Saathoff, Fran- ces Hurdle, Esther Ballagh, and Helen Dailey. Other members were: J. Althouse, C. Berreck- man, M. Bolin, J. Coe, L. Failor, T. Hanley, S. Hawthorne, L. Hutchins, C. Jordan, A. Kappas, M. King, B. Minnick, H. Smith, G. Story, V. Vannier, D.

If you did, I bet you knew that the Women's League was the right organization to touch in a tight pinch. However, the Women's League loan fund was only one of the helpful activities of this organi- zation. At the beginning of the fall term, the League held a get-acquainted dance for unacquainted and slightly bewildered freshmen. Right on the heels of this activity was the annual style show, which pictures exactly what to wear where and why. The Women's League was right behind the Student Union drive and in order to boost the total, a bond was purchased each year for this fund. Later on in the first semester, the Women's League presented its Christmas pro- gram to the all-female audience. Then toward spring, the coeds entertained their mothers at an appropriate program. Another League ac- tivity was the purchase of a bond to buy a silver service set. It was planned that this set would be loaned to all campus organizations, for their convenience. Behind all the activities of the Women's League Council which was headed by Mar- jorie DeBrunner, Viola Mortensen, Ardella Rundquist, and Hilda Lola, with the guidance and advice of Miss Alice Robinson, dean of women. This executive body at their monthly meetings planned the activities that kept the organization, not only moving along smoothly, but kept the interest of all the girls in college.

Your convocation is today! —could mean but one thing: the third Thursday had again rolled around and a Men's League meeting was in progress. These strictly stag convocations just didn't originate overnight, however. Each was the planned product of a group of men who called themselves the Men's League Council and served as an executive committee for all men enrolled in college. Their purpose was the sponsoring of interesting programs of activity for men and the promotion of scholarship, loy- alty, school spirit, and school pride. Meeting the first Monday of each month with Leland Marrow in the role of president, the Council took an active interest in campus af- fairs. One project was the organization of a new group on the campus known as the Men's League Radio Club. If you tuned in for the late news and got instead Calwad Iones . .. calling Slick Chick . . . via Hawaii it probably was a radio hopeful practicing to obtain a license and operate Station W9SUG 9. Under the su- pervision of Harold Hardy and Mr. Harold Cemy, students could do just that. The Stag cheering section who made their debut at the last basketball games with unique yells and clanging cowbell, was another of the Council's undertakings. Council convoca- tions featured films on sports and the care of sports equipment. Officers for the Council were elected at large by the men of the college. Anthony Deeb served as vice-president, Clarence Mitchell, secretary, and Emmett Gannon, treasurer. Mr. Bernard F. Stutheit, Dean of Men, acted as sponsor.

You could tell a Kearney coed by her ap- pearance, her poise, and her apparel, espec- ially if that girl was a member of the Home Economics Club on the campus. Food, as well as dress, however, was an important concern of this group of future home-makers, for they were skilled in culinary arts, dress designing, and the improvement of the home, school, and community. SOUP ’N’ SALAD With Miss Delia Garrett as local sponsor and Mrs. L. E. Mantor as the state sponsor of col- lege clubs, president Ruth Wendell, and other pfficers, Treva Lewis, Geraldine Innes, Ann Nelson, and Lorraine Schmidt, helped plan and promote first semester activities: the fall picnic at Harmon Field in honor of freshmen students, the candlelight initiation service for new mem- bers, and the Province Workshop Meeting in Lincoln attended in October with other mem- bers. Calendar events continued with the sending of gifts in November to foreign children, the contribution to the Children's Orphanage in Omaha, the annual Christmas party in Case Hall Reception Room, and following an Ellen H. Richards dinner and a style show and tea honoring high school students, members trav- eled to Hastings in March to attend the State Home Economics Association meeting. A for- mal dinner recognizing the 20th anniversary of the founding of the local club was a spring affair.

MERELY TERRIFIC If you could do a flashy dive or a speedy side stroke, you were in” as far as the Naiads were concerned. These were the girls who pre- sented the water pageant each fall, and who could be found at the college pool every Wed- nesday afternoon. Chief paddler for the Naiads was Jean May and her assistant was Ruth Wendell. Dorothy Stever took care of the minutes, while Elaine Brun managed the organization's programs. Although the Naiads are infants as far as or- ganization founding is concerned, they have a loyal following of swimming enthusiasts. The originators of the “Rag” at the Christmas Carnival, all Press Clubbers were active journalists, and they were proud of the fact that they were the latest organization on the campus. With Verne Dowers serving as editor- in-chief, Betty Hunt, associate editor, and Neva Jane Harris, business manager, the Press Club fulfilled its purpose, that of coordinating cam- pus publications. Paul Evett could also be seen - at the monthly meetings in the role of faculty sponsor. Serving as a means of getting acquainted and initiating new members, the Press Club held an informal dinner in the spring.

Kearney College offered a world of club life, true, but the greek organizations developed the social activities and friendships so necessary in the life of every indi- vidual. Organization affiliates were represented in every club on the campus, they won the honors, and they were the leaders among leaders.

It more than likely took place at the Homecoming Alumnae Luncheon of the Delta Pi Beta Sorority, for Delta girls had the tradition of playing “mama to pledge daughters” until formal initiation took place and coeds affiliating with the sorority became actives. On the first and third Tuesdays of each month the sorority met in the college gym or in the home of an active for business and cul- tural meetings, and to make plans for the social and campus activities of the year. The Deltas, under the direction of Jessie Gil pin, president, decorated a car for the Home- coming Parade, and entertained alumnae at a luncheon in the Fort Kearney Hotel. The hotel was again the scene of a Delta affair as some hundred couples danced to the music of the Modernaires at the Holly Bail. Jessie Gilpin, crowned by Miss Mariorie Elliott, sponsor, be- came queen for the evening. As rush season drew near. Delphina Shoup, rush chairman, met with other cabinet mem- bers, Jean May, Wilma Sail, Maxine and Mar- ian Wardrop, Ann Nelson, and Nancy Schatz, to plan the rush breakfast held in the Green Room. Thirty-seven of the college coeds se- lected by members as rushees indicated their choice of sorority by attending the Preference Dinner. At the tea in March and at the beau- tiful formal initiation ceremony in April, these girls pledged themselves to promote the leadership, scholarship, and fellowship of the organization and became active members. However, before accepting these Delta hope- fuls as sorority sisters, actives gave them a hilarious April Fool's party and pledges re- taliated by a Pledge Return Party. Another suc- cessful year was completed by the Mother- Daughter Tea given in May at the Case Hall Reception Room. Delta girls demonstrated their leadership, scholarship, and fellowship by the election of Neva Jane Harris to reign as Christmas Queen at the annual Carnival, and the selection of Marian Wardrop and Neva Jane by a faculty committee as Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Maxine Wardrop served as editor of the 1947 Blue and Gold, while JoAnne Barber played the lead in the all-college play. Each honorary organiza- tion on the campus had several Delta repre- sentatives. The sorority was not only the largest on the campus, this past year, but perhaps one of the most active. Delta girls were proud to have been wearers of the golden arrow.

Dear Diary: As I look back over this year at college, I feel it was one of the most significant years in my life. I truly can say my expectations of col- lege life have been fulfilled. I became a so- rority girl. This year held many traditional festivities for we Sigmas—hostesses to the Tri-Sorority Tea in the Y.W.C.A. room, the Homecoming Alum- nae Luncheon at the Fort Kearney, the Christ- mas Carnival with our traditional Sigmagrams, and Christmas caroling followed by the Cookie Shine which our patroness, Mrs. C. T. Ryan, held for us in her home. At the Home- coming Dance in the gym, Ilene Refshauge was crowned Sweetheart of the day. Then came the first semester rush party, Winter Wonderland Club, at which Kath- leen Noonan stepped through an enlarged Sigma Dairy to be presented as the 1947 Sigma Sweetheart by Miss Dorothy Holcomb, our sponsor. Toastmistress for the club that night was Shirley Homling. Something new went on our calenders this year when patronesses and advisors of the sororities on the campus gave a Hearts Des- sert Supper for the actives in February. An- other new was the October Homecoming Parade when we had our first sorority float, and the honors awarded to our Sigma girls, Helen and Ilene Refshauge, Kay Noonan, and Kathryn Powell, who were selected as Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. February also brought rush week. Twenty- one girls chose Sigma Theta Phi as their so- rority and twenty became pledges at the din- ner held at the Ft. Kearney Hotel. Informal ini- tiation, Legendville Jury, box lunches and storybook costumes, will never be forgotten. Avenging informal initiation, pledges held an April Fool's Party for actives, and climaxing rush activities was the beautiful and inspira- tional formal initiation ceremony. No wonder the candles of the triangle of Sigma Theta Phi mean so much. And there was, of course, the spring formal to the music of Norris and his Haring Orches- tra in the Crystal Ball Room, the spring break- fast honoring the senior girls, and our Mother- Daughter Tea in Case Hall Reception Room in May. And now, just before I turn off my light to dream of things to come, I want to thank our officers: president, Helen Refshauge; vice-pres- ident, Viola Mortensen; secretary, Mary Pecht; treasurer, Kathleen Noonan; rush chairman. Marjorie DeBrunner; and news reporter, Ger- aldine Innes, for a grand year filled with pleas- ure. Most of all, I want to thank our Sigma sisters for a genuine friendliness this year. night Penny Nelson. EXCLUSIVELY YOURS Page 92 First Row: Mitts Holcomb. E. Andorson. I. Bartols, D. Becker.

Lilies of the valley, a star, a three linked chain, and a lamp of knowledge designed the new crest of the Zeta Chi Alpha sorority to be used for paper products and for jewelry. On the motto ribbon were the greek words which stated the sorority's ideals: the promotion of social and cultural life in college, the encour- agement of scholarship, and the building of higher ideals for future womanhood. Not only new to the Zeta sorority this past year, however, was the crest, but there were the black blazer jackets edged in white and bearing the greek letters of the organization, as well. A coed wearing this jacket was dis- tinguished as a Zeta affiliate. Zeta Chi Alpha, the newest sorority on the campus, began activities with the Alumnae Luncheon on Homecoming Day. Sorority mem- bers, under the sponsorship of Dr. Leona Mae Failor, participated in events of the day by decorating and entering a float in the Home- coming Parade. On every first and third Tues- day of each month, president Hazel Ibsen, met with sorority members and other officers, Betty Mae Anderson, Eunice Saathoff, and Frances Hurdle, to conduct business meetings and plan social activities. A card party was given first semester for unaffiliated college girls, followed in Decem- ber by a Christmas breakfast and Methodist Church services. Dinner at the Fort Kearney February 11th, carrying out the valentine theme, was the scene of the Zeta Rush Party. LaVern Hutchins and lack Becker were soloists for the evening. On February 19th, Mrs. Mar. Wolf, sister of sorority member Betty Mae An- derson and first president of the Zetas, enter- tained the sorority at a dessert supper in the banquet room of the Grantham Cafe. At the Christmas Carnival, fortune-teller, Frances Hurdle, in her gipsy tent on second floor, delighted the superstitious and the sus- picious by foretelling happenings of the fu- ture, revealing deeds of the past, and expos- ing secrets of the present. There was also a dinner for the installation of new officers at the hotel, and then in true sorority fashion. Zetas entertained their moth- ers at a spring tea in Case Hall. As warm spring days brought the school year to a close, members and alumnae met for a last get- together at an out-of-door breakfast and for- mulated plans for the coming season. The Zeta year was an eventful and a suc- cessful one. Food was the main concern, when Zetas entertained rusheos at a party. Dr. Failor poured, while Hazel Ibsen, sorority president, looked' on. Tops in everything were Zeta oilictals, F. Hurdle. F. Amon, H. Ibsen. B. M. Andoriton. and Eunice Saathoif. Page 95 THEM WERE THE DAYS ♦ ♦ Candles, stuck in empty bottles, flickered fit- fully and cast grotesque shadows on the walls, as stout-hearted cops patroled the Crystal Ball Room of the Fort Kearney Hotel in search of two vicious characters . . . Phi Taus, of course. For the scene, as you may have guessed, was the Bowery Ball of the Caledonian Fraternity, and the hunted men: Gerald Richter and John Mitchell. When plans were formulated for the Christ- mas Carnival and organizations on the cam- pus were busy building booths and rehearsing skits, the cries of the Caledonians could be heard advertising Battling BZ and “Mauling Murl of wrestling match fame. No holds barred and bones broken at will drew large crowds to the ring on third floor, where the referee was laid low far oftener than the par- ticipants. Other activities of this ever-active group was the first semester smoker at the Fort Kearney Hotel, followed several weeks later by the first semester preference dinner in the same setting. Caledonian pledges flustered the females for a time by appearing on the campus wearing huge Sinatra bow ties of blue and gold, fraternity colors. The second-semester smoker was held in the Kampus Kave and the preference dinner again in the Fort Kearney Hotel. Caledonians were also active participants in the Homecoming Parade, receiving honorable mention with the float they decorated. Honors won by the Caledonians included Ralph Patterson's being chosen as an flll-Con- ference guard in football, and Dean Wallace's placing first in the men's division of the col- lege annual oratorical contest. Together with colleague and fellow Caledonian, Royal Jester, Dean also placed in the inter-mural debate tournament held on the campus first semester. Organized in 1920, the Caledonian fraternity was, this past year, under the sponsorship of Mr. Kenneth Carlson. The purpose of the group was the bringing together of those men having mutual interests, the promotion of the social welfare of its members, of college spirit, and of the best interests of the student body, there- by making a good college even better. What purpose could be finer? Full oi ideas and plans were Albert Black, Wally Walkor. Ctaronco Mitcholl. and Kent Ryan. Caledonian head men. Some ex-convict was loose at the Bowery Ball, and from the looks of Dick Badura. cop Bob Spoils had him covered. Page 96 First Row: Mr. K. Carinon. C. Alexander, B. Ayres. M. Bellor. J. Bolschnor. J.

When the Student Union is completed sev- eral years from now, there will hang upon one wall a beautiful antelope head. This antelope, shot by Eddie Brown on a hunting trip to Wyoming and the second largest bagged in the 1945 season, was presented to the college and President Cushing at a February convo- cation by Bill Long, Phi Tau. To aid in the drive for funds so that the Union might become a reality rather than remain a dream, Phi Tau Gammans sold bids on a War Bond at the Christmas Carnival, fit the climax of that eve- ning. fraternity member, Skeet Nicholson reigned as Christmas King. Phi Tau Gamma, the oldest fraternity on the campus of Kearney State Teachers College, was organized in 1915 by twenty-five charter members. Thirty-two years have passed since that time, and Phi Tau Gamma is still one of the leading organizations on the campus. From the first meeting in fall at Binger's Dinger to the last formal dance in May and the crown- ing of the Phi Tau Sweetheart, through the stag dinners, hour dances, business meetings and rush activities of each semester, the men affiliated with Phi Tau Gamma have made an enviable record. Five of the eight men on our Student Council were of the fraternity: John Mitchell, Gerald Richter, Otis Miller, Bill Long, and Anthony Deeb. When a faculty committee selected stu- dents for Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, five of the six men chosen were Phi Taus. This honor was conferred upon Otis Miller, John Mitchell, Robert Meline, Robert Polski, and Verne Dowers. Dean Nicholson was selected as Christmas King, and the fraternity also achieved honors in the field of athletics when John Rumbaugh was named on the All-State Football Team. There were basketball stars: men like Bob Lewis and Dean Nicholson. Bill Long was recently elected vice-chairman of the newly formed National Student Associa- tion. The fraternity was also represented in the field of journalism with Verne Dowers as editor of our school paper and James Bowers, busi- ness manager. Business manager of the Antler, literary publication, was Jerry Richter, who also served as first semester president of the group. At mid-term. Dean Nicholson took over duties as chancellor. Yes, the members of Phi Tau Gamma ex- celled in every field and had reason to be proud of their fraternity. When one says that Phi Tau Gammans were leaders among men . . . well . . . that's no joke, son! Leaders in the Phi Tau fraternity were O. Miller. H. Korsonbrock. B. Harris. E. Burton. G. Richter. D. Nicholson. B. Long, and B. Konnody. Professor C. T. Ryan addressed the Phi Tau rush dinners- Mr. Harold Ahrendts. Gorald Richter, and Herman Kersenbrock seemed en- grossed in the topic.

Page 99 Tho Koarnoy Symphony Orchesira prcsontod throe formal concerts this year, plus a concert tour of neighboring towns. Conductor. Harold Corny, porchod on his high stool, directed the or- chestra through a difficult number. The hum of warming bus motors, the clack of crammed suitcases being firmly fastened, the rattle of a violin as it banged against the case . . . these were memorable noises to the members of the Kearney Symphony. As is the custom around here, musicians in the sym- phony orchestra hit the road once each year. This year the touring dates were March 3rd, 4th, and 5th. The neighboring towns were the recipients of their talent both at afternoon and evening performances. At conclusion of their tour, the college group presented their concert for the benefit of fel- low classmates and interested hometowners. The formal concerts featured music at its best, in all three instances. The fall concert, held November 19th, featured as guest soloist, Mr. Robert House, cellist, as did the March 18th concert. Later in the spring, you could find orchestra members donning suits and formals as they prepared for their final appearance on May 13th. Under the direction of Mr. Harold Cerny, the orchestra met each Monday and Thursday evening to get in some practice. Other organi- zation officers consisted of LaVern Hutchins, manager; Esther Ballagh, librarian; and Ruth Wendell, personnel manager. The personnel of the orchestra consisted, in the main, of college students. However, there were many chairs occupied by business men, housewives, and high school students. The sixty individuals enrolled in the orches- tra, lent their abilities to the following positions; First Violin: Paul Harvey, Ruth Christensen, Mary Evett, Kenneth Lotspeich, Adelbert Bon- ner, Eugene Cerny, Hilda Lola, Alexandria Kappas, Shirley Harrison, Benjamin Keeley.

Charlino Jordan, and Lavorn Hutchins. The candles flickered as the black-robed choir members slowly met at the center of the stage and took their places. In the candlelight you read the program of Christmas music, and you were filled v ith the spirit of the season. The A Capella Choir, in addition to present- ing its annual Christmas concert, presented a formal spring concert, which featured small groups comprised of choir members. The A Cappella Choir, under the direction of Eleanor Haines, became familiar with the best in vocal music. Every Monday and Wed- nesday as you climbed nearer third floor, you had proof positive that the vocalists combined both harmony and beauty. EVERYTHINQ YOU WANT When choristers elected officials to perform executive duties. Dean Wallace assumed the position of manager, Rodney Wendell, per- sonnel manager, and Dora May McGrew and Merrylu Evans, librarians. The forty-one choir members, while repre- senting a variety of voices, also offered an excellent cross-section of college students. As with all collegians, the thought of conducting a concert tour was appealing. In view of this fact, the A Cappella members hit the road on April 21st and 22nd, and visited many Ne- braska towns. Although the trip was hard on overworked vocal cords, it was a big success. More of everything you want was just what the choir offered this past year. First Row: G. Story. S. Hawthorne. M. fisher.

HARMONY The Kearney band could rouse the most lag- ging spirit to cheer for the Antelopes, when they tooted on their instruments. The striking blue and gold uniforms identified them as among the outstanding contributors to school spirit, both at home and in other Nebraska colleges.

This honor came too late for recog- nition; we, therefore, took this opportunity to say, Congratulations!'' These two students were representative of one of the busiest departments on the college campus—the speech department. This past year the speech department had numerous phases of activity, and among the outstanding interests of the speech enthusiasts was debate. The Resolved: That labor should be given a direct share in the management of industry,'' issues kept debaters probing into magazines and periodicals. At the close of the first semester debate tournament. Dean Wal- lace and Royal Jester, Kearney juniors, took top honors, while Lily Ann Hansen and Dawn Daggett, freshman women's team, placed second. Kearney also started the intercollegiate de- bating season by sponsoring an invitational tournament on our home campus. The two- day tournament was attended by debaters from colleges all over Nebraska. WHERE’S THE OPPOSITION? Tournament pians woro the center ol in- torost as John Miteholl. Francis Boll.

At this time, Lily Ann Hansen, first place winner in the All-College Oratorical Contest in February, and Dean Wal- lace, winner in the men's division, participated in the State Oratorical Contest, each placing second.

Each weekday at 4 p.m. the twist of the dial on the radio would bring you a program originated in the second floor studios of the Nebraska State Teachers College in Kearney.” These programs featured recitals of the music groups, monthly talks by President Cushing, panel discussions by col- lege students on timely and important topics, and on Friday afternoons, campus news over The Antelope of the Air. When an actor, a debator, a speaker, or an orator of the speech department at Kearney State stood up to talk, we could rightly say, We hear you talking.” For speech students at Kearney State had something to say.

Page 108 LETTERMEN Page 109 Kearney Antelopes displayed their counter-offonse at the Wesleyan-Kearnoy gamo. according to tho instructions given by Coaches Fostor. Copeland, and Bingor. Kearney College contributed its full share to the sensational boom in sports activity throughout the nation. The expected post- war avalanche of sports enthusiasts was even more tremendous than the most wild- eyed dreamer had ever predicted, and in- terest and enthusiasm mounted with every passing day. With pre-war college enroll- ments equalled, and in countless cases sur- passed, the potential athletic strength was at an all-time high. Last fall. Coaches Charlie Foster, Leland Copeland, and George Binger were greeted by one hundred and twelve gridiron hope- fuls. While this array of manpower would bring the lovelight into any coach’s eye, it presented quite a problem of sifting out and then finally forming the best possible squad, the one with the greatest all-around strength. The Antelope gridsters had a successful season, in which they won six, lost two, and tied a single game. This Kearney eleven was a well-balanced club, with a rugged, hard- charging line, and plenty of speed and power in the backfield. As in the case of football, basketball en- joyed a popularity it had never known be- fore; it reached an all-time peak. Present facilities were unable to care for all those who would have liked to see the tall boys do their stuff. Gymnasiums were packed to the galleries; standing room only was the cry heard at game time. NSTC did its part in pleasing the spectators as the Antelopes provided their share of thrills and sports en- tertainment. Many of the college games were combined with the local high school games to heighten the interest. The games were played in the Junior High Auditorium to care for the large attendance. More than one hundred candidates an- swered the pre-holiday call for basketball players. This huge squad was composed of the almost unbelievable number of twenty- eight lettermen. Here again, Coach Foster's early job was to sort the material. The twenty-player varsity selected to carry the colors of Kearney represented players from seventeen Nebraska towns. The roster showed five members from each of the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Page 110 Among the many players on the A and B squads who proved themselves capable per- formers, were the two three-year veterans. Bob Lewis, Calloway, and Dick Peterson, Kimball. These two men we singled out by way of introduction to the team, with all due respect to every other member on the squad. As the number of basketball aspirants in- creased, it became apparent that an intra- mural program of some type would have to be inaugurated to provide an outlet for the surplus energy” stored up in the male students on our campus. The basketball intra-mural program this year was the big- gest in the history of the school, and more students took part in the program than ever before. Intra-mural athletics has indeed found its place in the sports setup on our campus. It has been discovered that those who make the team” are not the only ones who need healthy recreation; that muscles need to be exercised as well as the mind. The broad intra-mural program has given an opportunity to all to participate in re- creational activities. Other sports offered by the athletic department at NSTC include swimming, table tennis, baseball, and golf. In spring. Antelope cinder-pounders started workouts early, some hopefuls brav- ing chilly February weather for the spring sport. As warm weather became more plen- tiful, workouts were begun in earnest. A large squad of men answered Charlie Fos- ter's call for timber-toppers, weight-men, and sprinters. Promising underclassmen as v ell as vet- eran lettermen shuffled the cinders energet- ically and enthusiastically as v inter ended and the track season was on. Kearney cin- dermen gave heavy competition to every opponent; they were out to break previous records and they broke them. The coaches who guided the athletic pro- gram, gave due importance to the physical fitness” phase of college life, and promoted good sportsmanship, loyalty, courage, and school spirit throughout the entire personnel, were Charlie Foster, Leland Copeland, and George Binger. Under their skillful super- vision and through their untiring efforts, the athletic department of the Nebraska State Teachers College at Kearney made a proud and enviable record. Page 111 A fast and oxciting game was witnessed by Antelope fans who travolod to Wesleyan to see the Kearnoy-Wesloyan upset. Antelope fans yollca mightily as Phyllis Samuols led cheerleaders and crowd in backing the team. raOTBALL” With over a hundred pigskinners raring to go, Kearney's football was at nearly pre- war level. Coach Charlie Foster's spirits were boosted by the abundance of size and speed, necessary for a successful ball club. However, every other college in the confer- ence were possessors of the same soaring spirits. Despite stiff competition in every fracas, the Antelope balltoters smashed their way through for six wins, two losses, and one tie. Adding further glory to the old Alma Mater were John Rumbaugh and Ralph Patterson, who gained berths on the all-state eleven. Every gridster contributed his share, and with the backing of over six hundred avid fans, a successful season was completed. Which way did he go? was the cry in the York Panther football camp, when NSTC played host in the first game of the newly organized Nebraska College Conference. The elusive backs, Dick Peterson and Cecil Patterson led the Fosterites in the 16-0 win. The initial touchdown of the season began when Dick Badura snatched a pass inter- ception on the local's 46 yard line. Cecil Patterson feinted his way 27 yards to York's 8 yard line, and Verle Stucker plunged through to pay dirt. Highlighting the game was the checking of York's offensive splurge, when John Rumbaugh intercepted a pass, and ran ninety-six yards to the York goal line. Fans' joy turned to dismay when a clipping penalty brought the ball to the Kearney 28. A recovery added another touchdown, and with a place-kick by Ba- dura, the Antelopes gained their first vic- tory. D. Potorflon halfback B. Rohdo J. Rumbaugh V.

Cecil Patterson, chief trouble-shooter for the An- telopes, scampered over the Bronco payoff stripe in the opening canto, to provide the winning margin. In contrast to the canny passing ability of the Broncos, was the An- telopes' smashing ground offensive. Mike Schellhase, who started at left end to re- place the injured John Rumbaugh, turned in the top defensive job by an Antelope player that far along in the season. Other standouts were Francis Bell, Robert Rohde, and Verle Stucker. An oddity of the game was the recording of only one fumble. In a chilly north wind on a Saturday night. Coach Foster's boys marched down the gridiron twice, climaxing long drives to send the Chadron Eagles home in defeat. When the final toot was tooted the score- board read 14-0 in favor of the Antelopes. Early in the first quarter the Eagles worried the locals with their consistent gains, but were stopped cold after a few minutes of play to offer no scoring threats. Passes clicked between Cecil Patterson, Lee Mar- row, and Mike Schellhase and scrappy driv- ing was the magic potent that won the game from our sister college. gain for Koarnoy. Page 113 D.

Holding the Kearney offensive to a murmur, the Plainsmen scored in the sec- ond quarter to go ahead at the half-time intermission. An interference ruling in the fourth quarter on an attempted pass catch put the pigskin on the Wesleyan one foot marker from whence the score was made seconds before the final whistle. Though retaining their unbeaten record this far, the Antelope victory was a costly affair, with the announcement that Francis Bell, star Kearney pivotman, suffered a fractured skull in a pre-game collision with a Wesleyan gridster and was out of the lineup the re- mainder of the season. The Antelopes flashed their old-time pow- er in clipping Sterling, Kansas, 32-0. It was a field day for the once stymied Antelope offensive as scoring honors went to five dif- ferent players. Late in the opening quarter, Verle Stucker plunged over the one yard line to make it a still even game, with the score reading, 7-0. However, on the second play of the second half, Cecil Patterson broke through for a 75-yard touchdown jaunt that completely demoralized the Kan- sas squad. After this, it was all our game. Lee Marrow and Kent Ryan accounted for two touchdowns, and Weldon Johnson crashed through the Sterling wall in the last few seconds of the game. C. Cornelius D. Dusok fl. Gord M. Gill guard guard center guard Hopes for the conference crown were jolted when the high-riding Doane Tigers defeated the Antelopes, 13-7. The sparkling passes and deception of the church-school men, Kasparek and Lyness, stole the show. Kearney's lone marker was scored by Dick Peterson, who plunged over from the three yard line to climax a steady 62-yard march. Badura added the extra point. The closing moments of the game were filled with fire- works. A 70-yard kick moved the Tigers within striking distance of the Antelope goal. Dick Peterson kicked to the Antelope 48, where the visitors took possession. Things began to snap, when Lyness heaved to Gossart on the 12-yard line. Another aerial sent the ball straight to a Tiger, and into the end zone. Verle Stucker turned in one of the finest displays of defensive lineback- ing ever witnessed on the Antelope gridiron. Dick Badura's pair of conversions were the difference in Kearney's triumph over Wayne's hustling Wildcats, 14-12. Kearney punched its way to the Wildcat goal, on a 69-yard march in the opening canto. Max Osborn surged over to score the initial counter of the game. Lanky John Rumbaugh snared a Wayne aerial in the second period and hustled 35 yards for the second Kearney tally. In the third period, the Wildcats really got on the ball by staging a 43-yard march to the Antelope goal for their much-needed score. Later in the third stanza, Wayne grid- sters struck back with a 72-yard goalward march. Bob Rohde was the mainstay of the Antelope forward wall, while the line backing tactics of Stucker were the spark- plug of the Kearney backfield. D. Harding B. Hauvor D. Hock J. Jacobson D.

Rolland Moore came through with a spectacular running job, despite the hindrances of the weather. Antelopemen, Verle Stucker and Paul Peterson also turned in outstanding performances. When they received the opening kickoff, the Kearney men surged through an opening lead, which they never relinquished. Moore skirted left end, and began a 35-yard jaunt which put the Antelopes way out in front. Bob Imming completed the grand slam by grabbing a midfield lateral and racing 54 yards for the final Kearney marker. Terminating the grid campaign under miserable weather conditions, Kearney's Antelopes were upset by a spirited Midland eleven. The game was strictly defensive and both teams made little headway on the ground. Neither eleven wanted the pigskin, and as a result there was a total of 37 punts, seventeen of which v ere made by the An- telopes. Midland's lone touchdown came in the first few minutes of the final quarter, loe Chrisman recovered a Kearney fumble on the four yard line, and Revoe Hill slipped off tackle with the winning tally. The con- version failed, and that was the way the game ended, 6-0. Woody Davis was the Kearney standout and he received plenty of aid from Bob Imming and Verle Stucker. M. Quillon K. Ryan M.

You can see at a glance, now, how the season ended. Kearney came out third in the Nebraska College Conference scramble. You see the scores, the players, but there was something more behind this football team. There was a student body, full of enthusiasm and pep. The Pep Club formed the nucleus of the school spirit, and with their leading, every student backed the boys. The rooters dis- played this interest by attending out-of- town games in chartered buses. Two buses journeyed to Hastings to see the Antelopes gain another victory, and three buses took off for Wayne, complete with pep band and cheer leaders, where the locals again came out on top. Kearney, the ever-friendly college,” kept her title unmarred by showing her friendli- ness to other colleges in the conference. The college played host to Hastings, Wesleyan, and Midland fans who traveled to see their respective games on the NSTC field. Yes, it was a fine season of football, played by regular fellows, who were in the game not only to win, but to play their best.

A snappy passing Antelope five completely snowed under the visiting Billings Polytechnic quintet, 76-29. Bob Lewis really cut loose with his uncanny shooting and clever ball handling, connecting for 9 points, and setting up many more with bullseye passing. Fourth game of the season and Hastings' second half attack proved too much for Kearney, and the Antelopes v ent under, 47-30. Kearney jumped to a 15-8 lead after 10 min- utes, but Hastings rallied to tie at halftime 17- all. Whitey Sieckmann sparked Hastings with 19 points, while Mclllece hit for 13. Dick Peter- son paced the Antelopes with 10. Despite a cold night around the hoops, Kearney defeated Doane in easy fashion, 48-37. Antelope reserves were in action about half the time and performed capably. Russ Bogue and Joe Simanek turned in sparkling games, and Max Osborn's aggressive play under the backboards was a big factor in the Kearney cause. It was Nicholson's Night'' as the Kearney Antelopes rallied superbly in the final seven minutes to roll past Wesleyan, 64-47. Nicholson sparked this 20-point surge, and his ball-hawk- ing and fiery play featured throughout. Skeet connected for 26 points, while Peterson and Cornelius chimed in with 11 each. Bogue's three timely fielders in the second half added to the scoring parade. A sharper eye at the free throw lane proved the difference in Kearney's 45-44 victory over Midland. Nicholson, with 8 cashed free throws in 10 attempts and four fielders, paced Kearney with 16 points. Peterson followed with 10. Vosseler and Wilhelms kept the Warriors very much in the ball game with 15 and 13 points, respectively. C. Cornelius contor J. Finley guard B. Lewis B. H. Long O. Miller guard contor contor In a game more evenly fought than the score would indicate, the Antelopes fell before Peru, 69-49. Kearney faced a half-time deficit of 40-27, but their comeback drive narrowed the gap to 8 points with 7 minutes left. The rangy Bobcats broke the Kearney victory string at five. Kearney lost to Chadron in the first of a two- game series, 62-54. It was a rough battle all the way, with 44 fouls called. Behind 19-35 at halftime, the Antelopes came to life in the final period, with Peterson leading the way. Peter- son flipped in 13 counters, and Simanek con- nected for 12. Groves led Chadron with 20 points. Immediately on the heels of one Chadron defeat, the locals dropped the second game, 57-44. The contest was disrupted by numerous fouls, with a total of 51 personals for both con- tenders. Kearney upset the favored Hastings Broncos, 44-39, in a thriller. Kearneyites took advantage of their free shots to nip the church-school men. Outstanding feature of the game was the tight defense of the Antelopemen. Lewis and Os- born carried on the work under the baskets. Kearney stymied Doane by whipping them 53-48 on their home floor. Dean Nicholson went on a scoring spree to the tune of 21 points. At the middle period, the game was deadlocked at 21-all. During the second half, the winners pulled away to gain an easy lead. Typo oi scoroboard Bluo and Gold fans liked, whtch was also indicative ol the Hastings-Kcarncy gamo in which the Antelopes charged to victory. Skoot Nicholson grabbed the ball and was oil lor a couplo ol points. Page 121 Loroy Popo forward Gordon Roctor forward Kent Ryan forward The Kaeding brothers read a tale of woe for the Antelopes in a cage campaign, which fin- ished 66-58. Kearney men were cold in the be- ginning of the game, but a last half scoring spurt narrowed the gap. Kearney gained revenge on the Peru Bob- cats by dumping them 58-54. After a nip-and- tuck battle to the midway point, the Antelope men pulled out for a lead. The final moments looked bad as Perumen pulled a series of buckets, to a 54-51 deficit. However, Kearney men continued their scoring spree to make the final tally read Victorious.'' The Kaedings came through again to topple Kearney 79-63 in the fifteenth game of the season. During the initial moments of the game, the two teams were on nearly even terms. The game was close until a final surge spelled doom for the Kearney quintet. Kearney tripped Wayne 51-44 on our own hardwoods. The Antelopes snatched the lead after one minute of play, and were never ser- iously threatened. Dick Peterson rounded a tally on 20 points. Continuing their winning streak, the Ante- lopes rolled over Midland 59-38. The visitors made a game of it though Kearney kept the lead. It was the last home game for Peterson and Lewis, and these men really made the buckets on their final appearance. Nebraska Wesleyan raced to a half-time lead, which led to defeat for the Antelopes, 57-47. Dick Peterson was high man while Carl Cornelius and Dean Nicholson trailed close be- hind. Kearney ended the season with nine wins and nine losses. Dick Peterson became the leading Antelope point getter with 16.7 points in 14 contests. Dean Nicholson was close behind with 16.0 markers. Bob Lewis was the outstanding play- maker and passer on the Kearney floor. All in all, Kearney stacked up fourth in the hotly contested Nebraska Conference Circle, and displayed an all-round team, with plenty of teamwork. J. Simanck center ft. Sintek forward E.

With one hundred men reg- istered, Coach Charlie Foster held high hopes for the track season, not to mention the golf and tennis outlook, which was also bright. Kearney tracksters entered nine contests of skill, including two out-of-state re- lays at Boulder, Colorado, and Lawrence, Kansas. Another highlight of the cinder season came when Kearney played host to the Nebraska College Conference contenders on May 15th and 16th. Twelve lettermen added to the power of Kearney's team, when they participated in three dual and three triangular meets.

Among the many thrilling attractions of a great sports year at Kearney was the very successful and colorful intra- mural leagues under the supervision of Leland Copeland. Basketball play started with fourteen quintets, each team playing the others once. Only a single club dropped out during the sea- son, and every postponed contest was played at a later date. Upset followed upset throughout the season, and all the oddities in the books of maple play occurred. During the first half, play was dom- inated by four quintets, Vets Village, Varsity Intramurals, the Hope Shots, and the Sixth Avenue Wolves. Vets Vil- lage emerged the victor for the first half honors, with Bob Hauver's Hope Shots challenging, down to the final night of play. The second-half story was also close, fast, and interesting. Each one of the thirteen teams was capable of pulling an upset at any time. Forecasting play was strictly hazardous. Hauver's Hope Shots made off with the bunting, and the stage was set for the play-off tilt between the Hope Shots and Vets Vil- lage. After a seesaw battle in the open- ing minutes of the contest, the Villagers jumped into the lead and ran off with the championship, 42-25. In a five-day balloting to nominate the all-intramural team. Mike Schell- hase. Bob Hauver, Clarence Mitchell, Harold McClure, and Jep Byrum were named to the quintet, with Max Harris and Keith Weiderspan tied for utility men. Harold McClure topped all scorers with a season's total of 301 points in 24 games. Page 126 First Row: L. Bauor. G. Norris. E. Ying- ling. Mr. Auchter. D. Morgan. V. Shada. Second Row: C. Evans. L.

You got it now keep it be careful don't lose it . . . your pep! Gay uniforms marching down the field . . . hoarse voices shouting praise and encourage- ment ... a gleaming bonfire and the color song. These cheers and that praise were for you. You were the K men. The letter you wore stood not only for your prowess on the gridiron, the court, and the cinder track, but it stood as a symbol of courage, loyalty, and fair play. There were women among you, too. They were active in basketball, tennis, badminton, and swimming. They realized the importance of a well-rounded college curriculum and the advantages to be gained from the field of athletics. You and they were tops in good sportsmanship. He's a man . . . who's a man? . . . He's a Kearney man . . . that he was you: the Antelopes of Kearney State and the Antelope Does. Page 129 Skoot” Nicholson was deep in Lovo at the Water Pageant, despite tho antics o! Dorothy Stover. SITUATION NORMAL AQAIN The men with brawn and brains who could shine at any sport, were sixty-six in number. As the official organization for all college sport- ing activities, the K Club provided many min- utes filled with thrills and excitement, whether it be on the gridiron, basketball court, or cin- der path. You could scarcely forget the Home- coming game or the Peru-Kearney thriller, could you? K Clubbers looked pretty good on the dance floor, too, as proved at the K Club Dance, held at the Kearney Armory. As a climax of the social evening, Theodocia Eloe, Ansley freshman, was crowned queen of the club. Throughout the year, K members were in- terested in not only providing sports for them- selves, but seeing that most everyone got in on the fun. Following this urge, they sponsored the all-high school activities day, besides handling the Big Ten high school track meet. On the sideline, at local football games, you could find K Club members selling programs to increase their treasury. It was an honor to be a K man. Those men who lettered in a sport were able to earn a K , besides receiving a sweater. So the sig- nificance of having sixty-six men who were qualified for the honor, was apparent to all. On the second Thursday of each month, Dick Peterson could be found conducting the club's business meetings, which were planned in or- der to promote courage, loyalty, and clean sportsmanship. Other K officials included Otis Miller, vice-president, William Gogan, secretary, and Robert Spelts, treasurer. Under the sponsorship of Coach Charlie Foster, and wtih the Blue and Gold way up front, Kear- ney's athletes managed to gain their share of berths in state honor positions. John Rumbaugh was named end on the All- Nebraska College Conference Team, Ralph Petterson gained honor as a guard on the same team, and Dick Peterson was awarded honorable mention in the position of back. Ralph Petterson was also noted as a guard on the Little America round-up. First Row: Coach Fostor. Mr. Copeland. Clifford Aloxandor. Charlos Bacon. Francis Boll. Jim Bolschnor. Don Boyd. Dan Conway.

You might have known she was at W.A.A., Women's Athletic Association, either playing a fast game of volleyball or any number of sports. Or maybe she was on the W.A.A. picnic, or perhaps she was at the State Women's Athletic Association, or at sports night in Hastings. liott and under the direction of Jessie Gilpin, president, was the freshmen girls sports night. But it seemed that entertaining the freshmen was not enough for these sports-minded girls. Later in the year, they played hostess to the entire college at a play night. Active? You betcha! Not only did the W.A.A. provide plenty of recreation for college girls, but it entertained high schoolers from surrounding towns at the W.A.A. Play Day.
