It is the only college in the state of Nebraska that has a girls' drill team. Under the direction of Miss Dorothy Orcutt, the girls perform with the NSC Marching Band during half-time ceremonies at football games and also at basketball games. The Wagoneers have become a maior attraction both on and off campus since the organization was founded in 1955. Taking their final bow after completing their routine are tha Wagon- eers. They can tell from the responso of the crowd that they have done another very fine Job. The crowd at the Homecoming parade seems to be enjoying the Wagoneers as they march to the cadence of the band. s 3 y

Bronco Days! The season of rivalry and the cries o What'll wg eat?1' and the reply: Bronco Meatl Bronco Days, with i+i cries of How do you gel +o Hastings? and the traditional reply. These are Brgnco Days! Special Pep Rallies Held for Hastings, Football, Basketball Games i I ! School spirit and the backing of the athletic teams will always be criticized. It makes no difference what col- lege or high school these teams may represent. The stu- dent body at NSC has received its share of criticism, and perhaps some of it is justifiable. But the BLUE AND GOLD proves on this page and in these pictures that school spirit does exist at NSC. It was evident at the pep rallies, games and especially the week before the big Hastings-Kearney football game and other big athletic bouts. Ton degree weather may keep some people away from a football game, buf NSC still has many loyal fam. Mrs. Allen Zikmund, Mr . Las Livingston, and Mr. and Mrs. Don Welch braved the weather and even watched the half-time band show at the Gustavus Adolphus game. Even though a home basketball game may be played on a floor that is perhaps i 80 miles from Kearney, NSC is always well represented. Even during Christmas vaca- tion there's a crowd of cheering fans. Here, cheerlead- ers Betty and Mary Mosley and others cheer the Ante- lopes at a home game in Minden.
