Posing with thoir trophies are members of the NSC speech group and their sponsors, BACK ROW: Bob O'Dell, Tice Miller, Jasper Melton, Dennis Shreefer, Barbara Goble, and Mr. Robert Larson. FRONT ROW: Mr. Harold Ahrendts, Karen Lueck, Sharon Hackett, Judy Funk- houser, Janet Jenson, and Carol Hackett. NSC Boasts Championship Debaters, Orators Melton and Shreefer admire one of the Sweepstakes trophies they helped to win. NSC's Championship Wom- en's debaters, Sharon Haelc- ett and Karen Luack, have a hard time holding all the tro- phies they were instrumental in winning. Winning trophies is as easy as making mud pies for the speech groups at NSC. The debaters, speakers, and orators filled the trophy cases with trophies such as the tournament trophy of the Omaha meet, first and second place trophies in oratory at The Rocky Mountain Speech Tourna- ment, first place debate trophy at the Wesleyan Invitational Debate Tournament, and the tournament trophy for first place in the Women's Senior Division of debate at the Winfield Tournament. These same NSC forensic students also brought home the biggest trophy ever won by a college group, the Sweepstakes Trophy from the University of Nebraska Invitational Debate and Discussion Tournament.

College Band Presents Convocation, Tuesday, February 23, was chosen as the date for The Fifty-fifth Anniversary Concert of the NSC Concert Band. Rehearsals began immediately after marching session ended for the concert that was to feature Mr. Don Jacoby, noted brass clinician and concert trumpet soloist. But Nebraska weather often plays nasty tricks, and Mr. Jacoby became stranded in a snowstorm and could not reach Kear- ney. Because of Mr. Jacoby's tight schedule, the concert could not be rescheduled during the re- mainder of the semester, so the band presented a special convocation two weeks later. May was tour month for the band. Concerts were presented at Broken Bow, Burwell, Loup City, Arapahoe, Lexington, Chappell, and Ogallala, Nebraska, and in Julesburg, Colorado. After returning from the exhausting tour, the band presented its final home concert of the year on May 5. Conduc- tor of the Concert Band is Mr. Gaylord F. Thomas- Mr. Carl Easterbook is assistant conductor. A list of the Concert Band personnel appears on the opposite page.
