All must go through it and chi- college does everything in its power to make the week at least semeenjoyahle. During Freshmen Week we find ourselves involved and exposed to many of the facets ol college life. Activity is high on the list ol social expo' sure. Freshmen are tested, exhibited to, propagandized at, and guided hither and yon.. One thing is sure—during Freshmen Week one learns how to stand in line. Other useful skills acquired are: how to mark standard exam sheets, how to look like you are absorbing all that’s being Lold you, and how not to do anything unless it’s required. And you don’t even “earn as you learn. Pjge 6 Kearney has .suffered growing pains the last lew years. She has adjusted admir- ably, however. Amidst the turmoil that results in a doubling ul enrollment over a period of 4 years we suddenly found ourselves lacking in facilities. Our Student Union is obviously inadequate to the needs of the campus. As one student put it 'M picked my own pocket twice before I knew it, Because ol inadequate housing conditions many students were subjected to the wrath of the “feather merchants, who have more respect for the dollar than for humanity. Suddenly, thanks to the untiring eriorLs of our great President, we have three new buildings in the making. Approximately $1,000,000 dollars is being expended on this project. We could use another million to correct some of the other inadequacies, however, wc must be patient because wc know that time is a healer of all things. Nebraska State's Faculty: Helping To Create That Commodity Called An Intelligent Individual. To name and honor the professors at Kearney who are at the top of their fields, a volume would .serve better than these two pages.. There arc I acuity members at Kearney who are not good instructors, but there are many more who are. And it must be remembered that a definition ol the genius of a good in- structor includes more than his teaching tech- niques. And though all are teachers, not all are scholars. Perhaps most, irritating to the Kearney Student, is the lack ol intellectual freedom he observes in the positions of his instructors. The instructor often precedes any discussion on a sensitive subject with the words such as, Now, don’t misunderstand me. Pm not advocating what I say. And so on. The. student is young enough to have ideals. He has not yet learned the near-sordid compromises that must be made in actual life, He may have observed, lor instance, that there is cut-throat competition and repression ol initiative in many careers, but he has not yet learned chat that condition prevails in the near revered profession of a college protest sor. But he is also buoyed by the knowledge that there are many professors who refuse to make these compromises. Page 10 Pmfcssor Colvin T. Ryan o nut afraid 1.0 make ho 'Ludent work.

In our opinion Ins direction oj the ’’Crucible1 eejuals the very Iv.M of stage presentation Tin marching h;md is famous for its formations. During the home football games we witnessed the band executing many difficult and seemingly impossible formations. This year’s band was under the direction of Baton Master Donald Mason. Cheerleaders... Nebraska State’s Cheerleaders add the flash and sparkle that is necessary to arouse the spirits of our football Ians. A cheerleader leads a busy life pep rallys, games, making signs, etc, Cheerleaders this year were Larry Collison, Peggy Parsons, Joy Robin son, Jean Nelson, Phyllis jablonski, and Dale Black. NSC Marching Band... He was graduated in the class of 193 3. It was Nebraska State Norma] then. He came back to visit his alma mater in 1956. Thirty three years had passed so quickly that it seemed almost incredible. Many buildings, the instructors, the administration, even the students, had changed entirely. He enjoyed his visit even though he thought that he should be helping. It seemed strange to be merely a spectator on the sidelines. He witnessed a beautiful girl crowned queen in an impressive ceremony, saw a winning football team and attended a good dance. It was a nostalgic time. He was glad that he had come back to see Kearney of 1956. Homecoming Queen Bern ai� ne Eckout Tin' highlight ut’ Homecoming activity is tin- crowning ni the Homwinint Queen.

ERVICE AWARDS In years past it has been the tradition to select a Blue and Gold Queen. This year we have broken that tradition, in one respect, to express our gratitude to the outstanding senior boy and girl who have contributed most, seivicc wise, to NSTG. Selection for this award was in part a difficult task. There are many who contribute of their time and effort with little or no recognition. However, we set out to select those who have given that extra little that has been needed to promote the activities of NSTG. A committee of twenty-eight, including the Deans, Social Organisation Presidents, Government Presidents, Advisors, Administrative Officers, and others, were given the opportunity of voting for the person they thought to he most deserving. We arc sure that no one will question but that the nomina- tions are truly deserving ol this award. It is our pleasure to give recognition to Mr. James Mitchell, of Orleans, and Miss Leora Rippen, ol Gothenburg, fur their contributions to our school. When it was twilight on the football held, the aspiring footballers were still going hard at the old game of rock'and' sock. The boys worked hard, the coaches worked hard, and the managers were hard pressed to keep up with both groups. The end result was anything but frustrating as Nebraska State accomplished the next to impossible—untied and unbeaten!! For two consecutive years we have been NOC champs. Injuries were numerous but they anything but dampened the spirit of the Antelopes. If you want to ride—quit dragging your feet! —Boroff McFarland, Back Mi I la, Guard Thorell, Back Along with the team distinction, of being NGC champs, NSTO was honored with the selection of five players on the Nebraska College Conference All Conference team. Bach player on this page received this honor. Naturally we are proud of our boys who make up the majority of this select gi-oup. Poore, Center Armstrong, End Page 24 Hinkle.

During the 195? season NSTC won the NOG Conference championship, ah though meeting two setbacks. In 1956 we attained the ultimate, undefeated and untied. Wc had some squeakers, but for the most part all of the wins were decisive. Wc pay our tribute to the great players and to the coaching staff that brought to our school this “once in a lifetime honor!

Roggy, Back To single out a specific play or a specific individual for the success of our team would he impractical At times we saw ragged play, but for those times we witnessed this type of play we more often viewed a caliber of play comparative to the “Sunday afternoon games.” Brilliant running on a part of the hack field brought cheers from the large crowds. The bruising line plays too, were a major factor in the success of the past season. With the present coaching staff and the “will to win NSTC will he a power to be reckoned with for years to come. it t ? w AH work and no play for the managers! With pride they can point to their part in making a winning team. The many long hours spent in the conditioning of players, taping of ankles and repairing of equip' ment are too often not appreciated. Manag- ers were: A1 Lcwandowskg Chile Johnson, Leo Turner, Marv Rector, Loyd Andrews and William Pen. It ain't necessarily so- Visitors In our campus the past year were either misinformed or shooting too high. In a mid-night raid on the campus “the neighbors down the road” displayed their artistic abilities and proceeded to advertise their intentions. The end result was a night in the “barbed wire hotel” and more humiliating the defeat of their football team by the score of 13V. C. Tbore 11, Back Encouraging in the least was the depth of material displayed by the 195V Antelopes. More encourag- ing was the freedom with which these boys were allowed to play. In. the last few games with Boroff on the injured list we witnessed the “Homer Flash” Larry Jacobsen tear up the opposing lines with his tremendous speed and rushing.

Loyal fans to the cause this year kicked up their heels and really let loose at some of the pep rallys. Students were more than eager to get out of classes and head downtown to unleash some of their spirit.

Jocllyn Gardner Sammy Jackson OVERNMENT Pago 66 Student Council representatives are elected through a student vote of the Student Associa' tion. On the NSTC campus, which is no exception, elections are controlled by the Greeks. During the month of March the student apathy suddenly turns to activity. Torch parades, election rallies, the biggest signs, and calls of “you dirty politician” highlight the election activity. Page 67 Often we ask “and just what does the student council do? We. are sure of one thing at least—they do meet once a week in the Blue and Gold Room of the Student Union. What goes on in this little conclave often is classified as student opinion. Student opinion reached new lows during the years J 9?6-1957. Advisors to the Student Council for the past year were Miss Roberts and Dr. Kruebeck. Martin Hall Council Residents of Martin Hall for women students are governed by an elected board of officers. These officers are responsible for maintaining order in the Hall. Serving as President of the Martin Council for this year was Adell Hillmer. Mrs. Steinmeyer is the housemother for this unit, assisted by Mrs. Rubeck. Resk dence in Martin Hall is restricted to girls of the Sophomore, Junior and Senior Class. Page 68 Case Hall Council Joellyn Gardner is the elected President of the Case Hall Council. The Case Hall Coum cil in cooperation with the housemother, Mrs. Mathews, is responsible for maintaining law and order amongst those unruly freshmen girls. As of this year all residents of Case Hall are freshmen girls. Residents of the women’s lounge, Case Hall, are Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior and some lost Senior boys.

As the administrative group of the village they are called upon to make housing an rangements based on a priority basis. Then too, there are the kids. At last count there were some 80 children living in the village. This would indicate that veterans are a busy lot. Although some balk at the classification—we like to refer to it as the “hatchery.

To JulfiH the need tor religion in college life and to provide a church home away from home, many organisations have been formed. These groups provide, a meeting place for students with like religious interests and work to promote religious endeavor on campus. GAMMA DELTA NSTC chapter of Gamma Della, a national organization of Lutheran students, was organized on the NSTC campus in 1954. The main objectives the ekih keeps in view, in its activities, are encouraging and maintaining Lutheran fellowship and pro- moting study of the Bible. The group seeks to relate campus life to the Christian faith and to stimulate a deeper appreciation in Lutheran students fur their denomination. ROW I, left to right: Gierhan, Prejidont.

INTER-VARSITY This interdenominational group was founded on the NSTC campus in 1946. It is founded on the belief that intellectual growth should include progress toward religious maturity. It sponsors a program of religious educa' tion and fellowship without regard to a particular Christian creed. L. S. A, is organised for the promotion of the Lutheran principles among Lutheran Students attending NSTC. L. S.

Page 91 I HRISTMAS WEEK Heading the list of Christmas Week activities is the presentation of the Messiah by the Music Department of the College. The presentation of the Messiah has become a tradition in the community and is classified as one of the outstanding programs of its type. Participa - tion in the Messiah is not limited to enrolled students of the college but is open to rill members of the coni' munity. Often we find the leading parts being sung by citizens of the surrounding area. As a seasonal project the art department students painted and presented the mural, on the opposite page, to the Elks Club of Kearney. “Something old, something new , . . “ was the word for wirv ter sports at NSTC. Very much present upon the scene was Les Livingston and his Knights of the Round Ball, who tried valiantly to “rescue1’ a conference chain pionship. Right up to the last minute the Antelopes were in contention for the crown. With the many new faces we are sure that future years will bring great accomplishments. Hinkle, Nun and Sanford will not be around to stir the team next year but we can look forward to great things from Sprague, Collison and Smidt, ASKETBALL NICE SHOT—But if it’s a shot who shot it? Jim Hansen Dick Weigland The race for the NCC championship in Basketball went right down to the wire. As this book goes to press it still has not been determined exactly what the status of the conference is. The “lupers tried valiantly to bring the championship to NSTC but a few bad breaks and off nights let it slip away. Erv couraging was the play of the Freshmen members of the team to let it be known that NSTC will be a basketball power to be reck onecl with for the next years to come.

With the possibility of a new gym and the at' traction of top State athletes to NSTC, we are looking forward to great things in the court game. Coach Livingston doubles as an assistant football coach and head golf and tennis coach.

NTRAMURALS On week nights, if one journeys to the Gym, during the winter season you will see some better than average basketball. Intnumural players play for keeps as evidenced by some of the scores of the past season. The past season there were four leagues—American, Ivy, National, and Western. After the smoke cleared in the double elimination tournament the Jokers of the National League were declared intramural champions. Leland Copeland, Athletic Instruc- tor and director of intramural play, plots the play for the elim- ination tournament. BOWLING LEAGUE GAINED LEGIONS With the completion of Hilltop Lanes—one of the outstanding plants of its type in this part of the country—NSTC students sudden- ly showed an avjd interest in Bowling. An intramural league was formed, composed of eight teams. The competition was stiff and the eventual winners of the 1st halt tourney was team No. 7. Students participated in the regular league play against local bowlers and have given a fine showing. Sam Game) displays some championship form in attempting to remove the timbers. Page 102 GOLF Of all the sports associated with NSTC, Golf is probably the most dif- ficult game to master. It takes patience and skill to become an average golfer and more patience and skill to become a better than average golfer, Under the able leadership of Coach Living- ston, we are expecting great things from the Antelope Greensmen as this goes to press. Pawnee Bill, Charlie, and Sitting Bull prepare to eliminate Dotty Tate, the doting lover of Frank Butler who has just been caught messing with the sight on Annie's gun. NNIE GET YOUR GUN NSTC Theater goers were privileged this season to witness one of the outstanding musical con tnbutions in the history of this college. Under the capable direction of Richard Welsbacher and Bill Lynn the college players outdid them' selves. Joyce Bishop and Ewald Ehly as Annie Oakley and Frank Butler contributed much to the success of this Rogers and Hammerstein Musical. Joyce sang and deftly wielded her mus ket to the delight of her audience. Ewald as Frank Butler, although no match for Annie and her gun, after a series of incidents, finally regains Annie. Page 104 Secondary parts of Annie were played by members of the Choraleers, a select group of the All College Choir. This group moved off and on the stage with precision of professionals, singing their way into the hearts of the audience. Credits for this per' formance are too numerous to mention here, but we can't forget those supporting personnel who contributed so much to the success of this play. ME Every school has its problems, and yet tew are the same. However, one thing is for sure, most students have a problem which they can't do anything about and that is the faculty. Some students have found ways to establish “points but for most ot us we just have to find a way. Some we grow to love —others to avoid. We have found NSTC’s faculty to be stern, intelligent, conserva- tive, understanding and most coopera- tive. Their influence will be felt through the years.

Requirements vary in the department, but one thing is for sure—you can't get out of NSTC without umpteen hours of education in methods, psychology, history of education, audio'visual aids, and the final blast of stu- dent teaching, All of this has led us to be better teachers???

If we marry a Home Ec major or minor we at least know that she knows how to boil water. The Child development center is one of the important phases jn the department. Here one learns how to handle those unruly kids. Pag© 109 Activity in the Industrial Arts Depart' ment is wide. Wood and metal crafts are high on the agenda. Faculty members of the Industrial Ed department are Olsen, Chairman, Krubeck, Carlson, Envick, Munson, and Messman.

SPEECH Forensic activity varies from the development of the ability to discuss, debate and present information to speech correction. Additional speech activity includes the operation of NSTC's radio station KVOF and the pres' entation of drama. Through the years NSTC's Speech Department has made out standing achievements as evidenced by the many awards made to students of speech. Page 112 Miss Laurel Holcomb and Miss Alice Paine. The facilities of NSTC’s library are of a great boon to students. Here we can obtain authoritative information on most any subject. With the rapid growth of NSTC’s student body we have found the library to be at times a bit small. However, in the near future it is hoped that this situation will be remedied with the building of a new physical plant. Art, its appreciation, and its practical application have been bestowed upon us by NSTC's Art Department, Advanced students of art have made some out' standing contributions to the held. Many of these contributions have been exhibited throughout the country. Chairman Dr. Leora Mundell, Mijs Rose and Miss Phyllis Aspon.

Lam guage activities vary from the study of our own language to the proper usage of foreign languages. Through the years we will recall the many pleasant memories of association with the Language Department. The essen- tials of English, German, French, Literature, Journralism and methods will no doubt be our most valuable tool in attaining success in our profession. Page 114 Dr, Wm.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE Nebraska State College has always been rec- ognized as having one of the outstanding Physical Science Departments in the nation. Under the capable leadership of Dr. Fox the department has produced outstanding Physics, Chemistry and Math personnel.

DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC Activity in the Music Department varies greatly, with one common goal This goal is to instill in the students of NSTC, who so desire, an understanding and appreciation of good music. Students who study in this department are privileged to work under some of the better qualified experts in this field. Mr. George Whitfield is a teacher of piano, Mr. Staples, Violin, Mr. Lynn, Choir, Dr. Gucci, Concert and Marching Band, and Mrs. Gallemore teaches organ.

This group of outstanding voices performs at NSTC musical functions, Tlie specialty of this group is the chant' Herbert L Cushing PRESIDENT For twenty-one years Herbert L. Cushing has been an outstanding school leader. His warm smile and entertaining speeches have endeared him to the student body and faculty alike. His forward-looking administration exemplifies the spirit that has helped NSTC to grow to its present status as the largest State College, in the State of Nebraska. His untiring efforts on behalf of the College have resulted in the greatest building campaign NSTC has ever known, more than doubling the educational plant in the last three years. We saw concrete results of his dream of the future when Mar- tin Hall and the new Vocational Arts build- ings opened, and the still unfinished Student Union, Men’s Hall, and Women's Hall, gives mute testimony that under Dr. Cushing's guiding hand, NSTC will continue to move forward. Page 122 LlA College is an institution consciously devoted to the pur- suit of knowledge, the solution of problems, the critical ap- preciation of achievement, and training of men at a really high levelT AbrNmm Flexner, . , . To the fulfillment of these high aims stands Nebraska State College. At Kearney it is commonly recognised that, while the achievement of a high degree of education is of utmost importance, the. maintenance of a close and friendly association between stu- dent and administration contributes greatly to the development and gen- eral well being of the individual student. Education at NSTC is not merely learning the teach- ings of the past, but a con- tinuous development of the minds and spirits of all its students. The Dean of Women for the past year has been Mrs. Ruth Sisler. In our associations with her we have found her to be a person of pleasant personality and more than coopera' tive. Mrs. Sisler in her present ca pacity exercises direct supervision over all women students enrolled at NSTC. Her pleasant smile will be one of the good things we will re member ol NSTO. Max Casey was appointed Dean of Men in June 1956. Since that date, those of us who know him (and most of us do) have recog' nised in him the qualities of ex' cel lent character. He has demon' strated that he is willing and able to counsel us on our problems and often he suggests a very real solution. DEAN OF WOMEN Page 124 B. F. Stutheit has been newly ele- vated to his present position as Dean of Student Affairs, In this capacity it is Mr. StutheiFs duty to concern himself with the activities involving the lives of students at- tending NSTC. The creation of a new position creates new responsi- bilities. Mr. Stutheit has demon- strated that he can take “the bull by the horns and offer workable solutions to most any problem. DEAN OF STUDENT AFFAIRS PLACEMENT DIRECTOR NSTC has been commended highly on many occasions for its excellent placement service. The majority of this credit goes to Mr. Del Danker who so ably heads this department. Teachers and prospective teachers register with Mr. Danker and his crew and in the majority of in- stances they arc able to secure em- ployment. Naturally they cannot guarantee a position hut almost. Page 125 PERSONNEL Important to the function of any college arc those personnel who serve in the administrative capacity. Their duties vary greatly—but esseiv tially they are very important in the coordination o! the mountains of financial, service and records keeping activities in a college of this sixe. We respect and offer our gratitude for the unsolicited favors they have extended over the years.

If Kearney's campus life falls short of these ideals, one things is certain—there's plenty of fun. The Mardi Gras is the season's spe- cial period of general letting down of hair and inhibitions. NSTC s 1957 Mardi Gras was a hoopdada. Special activities included a van-' deville show, skits, chance booths and the traditional dance. Mr. Ewald Ehly Mardi Gras King Some people contend that television lias stimulated a new interest in vaudeville. Students at Nebraska State will be quick to say that interest here has never died out. When it's curtain time at the spring carnival show “Mardi Gras the students really show their stuff. There arc other means of enjoyment for the noivthcatricnl group. Social organizations on the. campus contribute largely to the success of the carnival through the sponsoring of booths, ranging from “games of chance ' to sending telegrams to the person you love most, hate the most, or just don’t care about one way or the other. 'a. i The first sign of spring isn’t always the chirping of robins or the growth of tiny buds on trees and bushes. Not at Kearney, anyway. Long before the last chilly blasts of winter have departed, an advance crew of trackmen and prospective trackmen are working out on the cinders, unlimbering muscles that havent done anything more strenuous all winter than tipping a Coke bottle, Tennis players start batting the ball around to get the feel of the racket. It's been rumored that golf players swing a club in their rooms, but that's only a rumor. Before anyone knows it, spring is here, and then gone, and exciting days are only a memory. — Wifrack, Cooch Fostor, Mars, Griffith, Burton- Kedrney's distancomen receive some advice from their coach, Men—this is a stop watch! “It's fun to run with the championV' is and has been the motto of the Kearney cinder men for the past few years, and run they have. The Antelopes have rcs- cued title after title and set many records that are the envy of all of the members of the NCC conference. As this book goes to press the prospects of another repeat per form ranee are very good. RACK Duane Burton is one of the outstanding prospects for this year’s track squad. Having competed in the fall cross coun- try races, Duane lias indicated that he has the stamina and ability to bring to Kearney additional distance laurels. A highlight of the 1956 track season was the qualification of members of the NSTC track squad to compete in the NA1A Olympic try-outs in California, During the past summer Joe McFarland, Coach Foster, Don Ayers, Jim Hansen and Clayton Scott journeyed to the west coast to compete in this event. Although none of the team qualified for the Olympics they made an excellent showing amongst the competition.

During the past summer we were privileged to see 'Tooth or Shave,'1 “Aria da Capo7' and “Mooney's Kid Don't Cry. Page 140 Page 141 Student directors take complete charge of their production. This includes properties, staging and casting. Seen this year in thesunv mcr theater productions were Bert Gallemore, Don Main, Rich Welker, Jackie Heilman, Thane Hascall, Kathy Freeman, Steve Aiv derson and Dagmar Welker. Brian Reicks, aspiring to be an actor at the age of 5 months, starred in his first role, via recording, as Mooney's kid that did cry. If a student has a desire to express himself or has creative abilities he most often wanders over to the Journalism department and asks “what’s cooking ' From that moment for- ward he finds himself in the position of editor of a paper, reporter, artist, business manager or in any one of the other odd jobs that must be done around a publications office. Publica- tions enrich a student’s education whether it be reporting the news as it happens, writing entertaining feature stories or providing a handsomely bound record of a year's activities. VIVE-A-LA CLEVELAND’!!! Editor of lids year's Blur ;md Cold is Charles (Chic) Racks of Brighton, Michigan. Boor Charley—into every- one’s life some rain must fall, hut this year it fell in buckets. Promises came fast' hut when it came down to the wire no one showed up to do the work. We found that we had to lake our own pictures, print our own pictures, he our own runner', copywriter, layout, and general handyman. We know that our hook will not reach the expectations of all hut we J]ppe same will appreciate it. Va A v or s Ks v W-A -W A_. BLUE AND GOLD Business Manager of the Blue and Cold was Bill Beavers of Kearney. Bill was responsible for keeping the hooks in order and to sell the ad- vertising. Karen Worley of Kearney served as artist for this year's edition of the yearbook. Page 143 Editors of the Antelope for the. past year were, Boh Mo- line, York, first semester and Boh Hendricks, Sidney, see' one] semester. ANTELOPE Heading the Business Staff of this year's Antelope was Dale Falter, Ord Junior. Pie rured here are assistants Hen' derson, Hoffman, Olson, Fah ter. and Jorgenson. ■ Page 144 Farmtrom, Dunbar, OUort, Waldman, Brodino, Hunn D, Clark, Gabbart, Milldyke, Evarsoll, Brady Few students realise the importance of a college newspaper in the overall operation of a college. Without the Antelope few of us would actually know what is happening on the NSTC Campus. The Antelope is published weekly by the Journalism department of NSTC. Growing pains are a symbol of NSTC and the Antelope too is feeling these pains. However, through the past year it has adjusted admirably under the direction of Don Briggs and has suddenly blossomed into a publication that students should be proud of. Loos, Morgan, Kelly, B. Clark, Siebier Page 145 COMMENCEMENT The fulfillment of four long years of working and dreaming. Although to most of us com- mencement signifies the end of formal educa- tion, it is in reality a beginning—the begin- ning of new worlds to conquer in teaching, business, and professional fields. With pride we can point to our degree because it entitles us to a special type of consideration. What we have earned we have spent, what we have given-we still have. A highlight of the winter season at NSTC is the presentation of the All College Band Concert. This year Kearney Music lovers were pre' sented with an outstanding concert under the direction of Dr. Angelo Cucci. Members of the All College band form to make the NSTC marching band which performs at the football games during the fall months. During the winter season members of the band form what is classified as a “pep band which strengthens the spirit of all personnel attending the basketball games. Page T48 BAND ALL COLLEGE CHORALEERS From the all college choir the music department, under the direction of Mr. William Lynn form the Choraleers. This outstanding group of mixed voices performs at various times throughout the year. During the past year we were privileged to hear this group on television as a part of the Christmas Concert. Many of the students took leading roles in the college musical “Annie Get Your GunT During the spring the Choraleers will journey to schools throughout the state to present various concerts. CRADLE SONG One of the outstanding productions of the NSTC Dramatic Department was the presentation of the Cradle Song. Under the able direction of Mr. Welsbacher the major all girl cast moved about in their roles as Nuns in a convent with all of the ease and dignity that is luting to such a situation. INTER-HIGH DAY Each year we are privileged to welcome the students of the area high schools to compete in achievement exams. Under the sponsorship of the college administration in conjunction with the student council each year the entry list grows by leaps and bounds. At the present time somewhat over 1,000 students partich pate iii the exams. Naturally we are somewhat amazed at the grades these top students at- tain. in the examinations. We wonder if by chance that we should return to our high schools and obtain a refresher course. They came as Freshmen-—new to the campus and doing everything for the first time so that college life seemed gay and carefree. They were a large class, and not at all the typical idea of wide-eyed Freshmen, although some did seem a bit wet behind the ears. They were that year's crop of high school graduates, people who had worked a year or so before coming to school, and ex-scrvice- men. They played around and had fun, and then learned that the day of reckoning comes to him who studies not. In the remaining years that led to their eventually leaving NSC as educated men and women, they learned to budget time so that play didn't interfere with work and vice-versa. They learned to be an integral part of NSTC's The new tomorrow has finally come for the Seniors who have antici' pated graduation with eagerness and anxiety. The world has opened its arms to accept the welhprepared men and women, but they linger for awhile to glance backward over the many memories of their past four years at Kearney—work and study, fun and good times. Holding the Senior class offices were: Tom Morris, President; La verne Robert' son, Vice-President; Millie Novosad, Secretary; and Barbara Viren, Treasurer. Dick Mayberry served as Student Council President, Bernadine Eckout as Homecoming Queen, Chic Reicks President of the InterFraternity Sorority Council and Editor of the Blue and Gold.

(How else do you think we can fill this hole?) The Blue and Gold Editor is no exception. We’ve spent so much time blowing other people's horns, we’ve decided to blow our own. This is also the place to mention the work of our artist, Miss Karen Worley. Also to the engravers, the Capital Engraving, Mr. Drew DeVrient and his legion in Lincoln and to the Woodruff Printers. Their patience has been gratifying when so many other people have not. Note II Naturally when this book hits the reader's eye we will hear cries of anguish go up—we were slighted or now it isn't or wasn’t exactly like this. However, taking all things into consideration, the lack of hinds, lack of a staff’, and in many instances lack of any cooperation -we are proud. We have tried to bring you an annual that is indicative of life here at NSTC during the year 1956'1957. We missed some events that is sure— but we feel that we have covered more than ever before. We hope that this edition kicks off for NSTC a new era in yearbooks. Page 160 JlRECTORY ANDERSON. OAROLE D.

In 1956-1957 we found that a new ruling required that all students residing in residence halls be required to purchase their meals in the cafeteria. In general the plan was a success and brought forth addi- tional revenue, but it also brought forth some gripes. With the building of a new Student Union it is expected that its facilities will include a larger and more modern dining room. Paqs 184 STUDENT UNION The present Student Union (affectionally re- ferred to by some as the “Sheep Shed ) is on its way out. Construction has started on a new Student Union that will be the envy ol the state, Expected to be completed sometime in 1958 the union will provide additional fa- cilities that have been so needed for many years, The new union will provide meeting rooms, publications offices, and a dining room. For many of us the old “tire trap will hold many memories, tor there we first met some our most beloved acquaintances, discussed, cussed, and in general wasted a lot of time.
