HISTORY OF MID-PLAINS COMMUNITY COLLEGE The 1926 attendance policy allowed only substantial reasons for absence from classes. A penalty of a three points deducted from a student’s semester grade was given for an unexcused absence. Being tardy three times counted as one absence, and students were excused only on approval of the Dean and the instructor.
Activities
A
ctivities began immediately with a football team, a basketball team, a track team, an orchestra, and a glee club. Students chose the name “Indians” as their athletic team name. The football team practiced with the high school team, and games were played at the fairgrounds. Fourteen of the 19 boys enrolled were on the team. The rst game was lost to the Kearney College reserves 2-0. The McCook School Board decided to add a second year curriculum for those eligible to take those second year courses, signaling that McCook Junior College was for real and was going to be around for a long time.
