A historical theme is especially appropriate for the 1931 M arathon, since this year marks the fortieth anniversary of the founding of Y ork College, and also the hundredth anniversary of the Oregon T ra il, a cut-off of which passes near Y ork. T he history of the city of York through which is intimately woven the story of the growth of Y ork College is portrayed in the art work of the M arathon. M an y of the large drawings, all of which are the handi work of the staff artist, Erma Thomas, have been taken from old and faded photographs that have long been hidden in attic trunks or pioneer scrapbooks. T hus, they arc actual reproductions of historical significance. The covered wagon on the cover of the book prepares the reader for the historical theme. T he Indian on horseback is properly found on tlie title page, for to him the plains first belonged. On the Dedication page appears the buffalo hunted by the Indian on the very spot, perhaps, where the city of York now stands. T he Foreword page shows the sturdy pioneer with his young wife and babe as they make their way toward a new country. T he In Memoriam page pictures an early sod house. T he next drawing represents the pioneei breaking the sod near his new home. The Administration page depicts the early adm inistrative center of Y ork— the first court house and the public square.N ext in the development of the town was the founding of York College. The beautiful shrubs and trees and the carefully laid out walks and driveways which are now found on the campus are missing in the drawing of the Adm inistration building found on the Classes page. T he original photograph was taken when m ilitary training was a part of the curriculum at the college, and the young men in uniform may be seen at the right in the picture. The only gymnasium equipment known to the college students of that early day consisted of the goal posts erected to the south of the administration building where all of the basketball gam es were played. D uring part of this early period, a faculty lady who was lame gave the athletes their only training. Football was considered a brutal game in those days and was harshly condemned by the college authorities. On the Activities page an early view of the corner of Sixth street and Lincoln avenue is repro duced. The street cars pulled by horses will he remembered by many an old settler. On the Student Life page is found a beautiful drawing depicting a corner of thecampus as it is today, and incidentally, the "student life” of the present time. T he new gymnasium is the appropriate drawing to open the Athletic scction. It is the newest building on the campus. Other historical m aterial of more or less interest will be found in the feature scction on pages entitled “Ancient H istory” and "T hen and N ow.” On the first of thes: the staff members have modestly placed their own baby pictures, and on the second they have attempted to present some striking contrasts. T he picture of York in 1876 shows how the town used to appear in ante-railroad days. The view shows the northwest corner of the square, looking up Lincoln avenue. T he old public well derrick in front of the "Y ork Store” is plainly visible, though the wheel of the mill has faded out of the picture. T he first faculty of Y ork College also appear on this page. In the back row, beginning at the left, they are: W . O. H arper, Pres. J . George, A. B. Statton, and Prof. W ilson. In the front row, beginning at the left, are M iss Floy Lawcrence (now M rs. E. E. Em hoff), the Rev. G. F. D eal, and M iss W illiam s. T he small silhouettes on the subdivision also represent modern campus life.

P rologue.
M an y years ago, as they entered the unknown regions beyond the M ississippi, our forefathers were compelled to blaze new trails across the plains and over the mountains. Four years ago, eighty-seven Freshmen began the journey along the carefully charted trails which lead through the educational fields of Y ork College. A few of our many exper iences will be recorded here. C h a p t e r I.
From the very beginning, our class has shown its conquering college spirit. How valiantly we defended our precious flag, which floated in the breeze about the campus, in defiance of the upper classmen. W e shall never forget the hours spent in wandering about town and country in an effort to lose these same upper classmen, who were interested in our first wiener roast. Even on Freshman Recognition D ay, when the Panther, which we had planned to present to the college as a symbol of our fighting spirit, failed to arrive, we did not give up fighting. A ll difficulties were finally cleared away, and the Panther now looks down defiantly from its perch at the east end of the gymnasium. C h apter
II.
D uring the first semester of our Sophomore year, we observed the custom of the college and gave a reception for the Freshmen. Then came the party at Cozette C arter’s, which w ill be remembered with pleasure by all, but especially by those who were most con cerned when a certain Ford “fell” down Seventh street. D uring this year Freshmen Rules became college tradition. C h a p t e r III. T he outstanding event of the first semester of our Junior year was the H allow e’en party, at which the Seniors eked their vengeance upon us by keeping us in the "d ark ” for most of the evening. Later in the year, we enjoyed an oyster feed at the home of W ilhelm ina Feem ster. T hen came the Junior-Senior Banquet, when we invested all our available funds in crepe paper, in an attem pt to make the Seniors happy. W e spent commencement week in cramming for examinations and in decorating for the Seniors. No one can say that we did not do our best to get them graduated. C h apter
IV .
The time has rolled away all too quickly, and now we ourselves are dignified Seniors. W e have already lo yally entertained the Juniors, whom we compelled to wear the blind folds. Several of us are on the staff of the M arathon, and are giving of our time and energy toward m aking it a success. W e ate looking forward to Senior Recognition D ay, when the college will take a day off to show us the honor due us. T hen w ill come Commencement and the end of the trail.

(W ith sincere apologies to W h ittier) Blessings on thee, Junior class, Honored group, with much of sass! W ith thy catching merriment, And thy oft’ caused ’harassment; W ith thy keen mind, keener still Sharp’d by teachers on the hill; W ith a twinkle in my eye, T hrough m y glasses thee I spy; From m y heart I give thee joy— I was once a Junior boy! Honored thou art— the Junior bunch, Surely thou art a learned bunch. Let the snoopy Seniors ride, Freshmen w alking at your side. Y ou know more than they can learn, Steal, or buy, or try to earn— O utward praise, lad and lass, Blessings on thee, Junior class! Cheerily, then, m y Junior man, Live and laugh as Juniors can! Though the campus walks be hard, Juniors, all, w ill be your bard; Every morn they trundle through Campus greens bedecked with dew; Every morn they all surpass A ll the others in their class: A ll too soon the Juniors leave, In the vacant halls we’ll grieve, H appy if their memory’s found ' Never on forbidden ground; H ap p y if they sink not down W here they wear a scowl or frown, So we stop and give you praise, Y ou’ve enriched our college days! —M .

D ear D ad— I sure was glad to get your check; expense is high and then, by heck, T his A nnual staff is always m akin’ us Freshies get our photos taken And then we’re mixed in aw ful wars with Juniors and with Sophomores. A ll these class scraps as we all know, necessitates A lot of clothes; W e don’t mind war and bloodshed, when we’re Fightin’ with some gentlemen B ut these here Sophs are crumbs and pikers. W e ll, we’d hate to have to tell One h alf we know about them, but the school W o uld sure improve without them. Now our own Freshman class, has heroes that Surpass In brain and brawn and wit all other classes. It Is no idle dream that Freshman boys mean Just the same as any college team A nd in debate and oratory the Freshies have Captured all the glory. A nd when it comes to study, why, from our Class pick anybody. T hey’ll have more knowledge than any seven Sophs in college. W h y m y own grades are all so high, the faculty H ave asked if I W o n ’t graduate this year, but I told them I W o uldn ’t hear T o no such nonsense, and say, they said that Pretty soon they may N eed several profs and they want me to Teach the Sophs. M y head is solid ivory yet, but I can teach those Sophs, you bet. Y ou’ll be surprised at all the knowledge I ’ve Gathered since I’ve been in college B ut I’m in debt up to m y neck and hope Y ou’ll send another check. Y our lo v in g son, H IP P O L Y T U S . (T ak en from the first M arathon) Editor’s Note—W e still have Freshmen like this.

T he purpose of the Student Council is to m aintain high standards of honor and loyalty, to strengthen the cordial relations between the students and the faculty, and to aid in the regulation of student activities. T he Student Council was organized in the fall of 1928 with Schuyler W . Phillips, ’29, as president. Last year O nita Stone, ’30, headed the Council, and this year Theodore Peterson, ’31, is serving in that capacity. T here are twelve members of the Student Council. T hey are selected as follows: the president, a senior, elected by the student body, one representative from each of the four classes, one from the Business College, one from the Conservatory of M usic, one repre sentative from the " Y ” Club and the W . A . A ., one from the Y . M . C . A . and the Y . W . C. A ., one each from the Pals and Zeta Literary Societies, and one from the faculty. T he council has the authority to enact rules and regulations concerning the govern ment of the student body. It has compiled and enforced a series of Freshman rules. Among its other duties the council elects the editor and the business m anager of the Sandburr. Rules regulating the number of offices one student m ay hold are among the worth while things accomplished by these representatives. T he constitution of the or ganization, rules governing the campus, and the regular Freshman rules are found in a book of regulations, a copy of which is given to each new student.

U nm ftt’s Christian jVsaociatum T he purpose of the Y oung W om en’s Christian Association in Y ork College is to help every young woman on the campus to obtain fu ll and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. M eetings are held every T uesday morning and through these an attem pt is made to solve the problems of campus life. D elegates are sent each year to the Estes P ark Conference. Last year M argaret Y ust and M abel T racy represented Y ork College at Estes P ark. T he B ig and Little Sister H ike, which is an annual event every fall establishes a feeling of good will and fellowship among the young women and helps them to find their places in the Y . W . C. A. organization. T he T ea held in the parlors of the U n ited Brethren Church during the first week of school also helps to m ake the new students on the campus feel at home. T he " Jo lly -U p ” Reception given each semester is sponsored by the social staffs of the Y . W . C. A . and Y . M . C. A. One of the ac complishments of the Estes P ark and Room Committee was the redecoration of the Y . W . C. A . rest room. Members of the association, faculty women, and other friends of the organizations, brought pillows, vases, mending kits, and other things to m ake the room a pleasant place. T he installation of the new president and her cabinet was held at the annual membership banquet on February 1. In 1929 and 1930 the cabinets of the Christian associations were successful in bringing the Rev. J . Gordon H oward and D r. Brewbaker to the campus for a series of group and personal conferences. One of the most interesting and outstanding events of the year is the annual M ay Fete, which is given under the auspices of both christian associations. T he proceeds from this entertainment are used to send the delegates of the christian associations to the Estes P ark Conference.

The Y oung M en’s Christian Association serves Y ork College by helping to provide for the spiritual needs of the young men of the college, and by cultivating a better fellow ship among them. T he weekly meetings which are held each T uesday morning in the chapel room, are planned with this purpose. On the program besides musical numbers, frequently there is a brief review of some worth while book, m agazine article or moving picture given by one of the students. A t many of the meetings some minister or profes sional man is secured to bring a message concerning some subject in which the group is interested. The Y . M . C. A. also contributes to the social life of the campus. A stag party and watermelon feed was held in the gymnasium at the beginning of the fall term. T he Y . M . C. A. cooperates with the Y . W . C. A. in giving a Jo lly-U p reception at the beginning of each semester. Once a month the cabinet, which is composed of the officers and commit tee chairmen, meet at the Conservatory for the evening m eal. A t these meetings the future programs and social events are planned, and the business of the organization is transacted. Each year the Y . M . C. A. and the -Y. W . C. A . bring to the campus some well known religious workers. These men hold conferences with the students and give them vocational and religious guidance. D uring the first semester of the 1930-31 term, Dr. C. W . Brewbaker and M r. Glenn Griffith were brought to Y ork. The Y ork College Y . M . C. A . is considered one of the most successful in this ter ritory. Over one-third of the men enrolled in Y ork College are members. T he weekly meetings have an average attendance of about thirty. T he " Y ” is supported by the volun tary pledges given by the members. The funds received in these pledges are usually sufficient to cover the expenses of the year.

T he P als’ Literary Society is one of the oldest campus organizations. T he Pals were first known as Anipliictyons and Philomatheans and functioned as two separate societies for men an d women, respectively. Later the two societies decided to combine their initial letters, A . L. S., and P. L. S., to evolve the name "P als” which has been used ever since. For approximately the last twelve years joint meetings have been held. T he society has as its purpose m utual improvement in literary, forensic, and parliam entary exercises, as well as social culture. T he Pals invite to membership any student, regardless of educational, financial, or social status. T he programs, which are given at the bi-weekly meetings, consist of musical numbers, impromptu addresses, debates, and various forms of literary exercise. From the standpoint of achievement it is interesting that all but one of the varsity debaters are Pals. T he fall reception, the spring picnic, and the spring banquet are among the annual social functions. In addition to these, occasional parties are given. T he Pals’ float won first place in the Fall Festival parade. T hree girls representing "P als” rode on an elaborate rose colored float bearing the emblem of the society.

In the fa ll of 1914 it became apparent that the two literary societies then in existence could no longer meet the needs of a growing student body. O ut of this need grew the Zetalethean Society for women, and the Zetagathpan Society for men. A few years later the two were united into what is now known as the Zeta L iterary Society. The purpose of the Zeta Society is to promote social culture, scholarship, and goodfellowship among the students. It is a society in which one may form the best friendships. A proof of the worth of the society may be had by looking back over its membership and discovering there, many people who are m aking good because of the vast experience ob tained from it. Besides the entertaining and educational programs which it is the aim of the literary society to promote, Zeta has its social side. Picnics, receptions, banquets, parties, and other good times are included.

T he Forensic Club is one of the newer organizations on the campus. It was formed in the spring of 1930 to foster interest in debate and oratory. Various questions of present day interest have been discussed at the meetings of the club. Several questions which have been given intensive study are: "Resolved, T h at the expansion of the chain store systems is detrim ental to the best interests of the American people;” "Resolved, T h at the Philippines should be granted their independence;” "Resolved, T h at the nations should adopt a policy of free trade.” T he m anagement of inter-collegiate debate has been given over entirely to the club. T he president, H en ry Kliewer, was elected as the representative of the Y ork society to the state forensic meeting at Kearney. A plan of intram ural debates which not onjly caused much interest along this line, but uncovered latent talent, was form ulated by the organization. T he forensic " Y ” is granted for excellence in debate and oratory. T o be eligible for this coveted honor the student must have competed in one inter-collegiate extempore or oratorical contest or in three inter-collegiate debates. T he names of winners of the forensic " Y ” who are in college now are: Hom er Crosby, U a l Hanshew, W ilhelm ina Feemster, H enry Kliewer, W illiam H ice, Russel Lewis, Rodney W hittem ore, Raymond W ochner, and Theron Maxson.

An unusual amount of interest lias been shown this year in debate. The regular class in debate studied the theoretical as well as the practical side of debating during the first semester. The Literary Societies and the Forensic Chib also made it possible for a large number of students to take part in forensic activities. In the annual upper-classmen vs freshmen debate the latter group was victorious. T he conference question for debate was "Resolved, T h at the nations of the world should adopt a policy of free trade.” (T he question proved to be a very tim ely one because of the prominent place it had in public thought.) A squad of eight debaters worked on the question during the entire season. T he affirmative team was composed of H enry Kliewer, first speaker, U a l H anshew, third speaker, and Theron M axson and Russell Lewis alter nating as second speaker. T he negative team was .composed of W illiam H ice, first speaker, W ilhelm ina Feemster, third speaker, and Rodney W hittem ore and Raymond W ochner alter nating as second speaker. T he debaters ended their successful season by defeating Kearney State Teachers College in a dual debate. The negative team finished the season winning eight judges’ decisions and losing five. T he affirmative took six decisions out of fourteen possible ones. Those speakers who will be lost to the team this year by graduation are: W ilhelm ina Feemster, U a l Hanshew and H enry Kliewer. W ith five letter men planning to return next year the prospects for bettering this year’s record look very bright. T he debate teams have been very fortunate in having the efficient coaching of Prof. J . C. M organ, Debate coach, and of M iss Alm a Tress Lundman, H ead of the Expression department. T he season’s debate record for this year was as follows: W ith Grand Island (Y ork N egative team at hom e): Y ork 1, 0; Grand Island 1, 3. W ith Doane (Y ork affirmative team at hom e): Y o r k 'l, 0; Doane 2, 1. W ith N ebraska Central (Y o rk negative team at hom e): Y ork 1, 3; Nebr. C entral 2, 0. W ith D ana (Y ork negative team at hom e): Y ork 1, 2; D ana 2, 1. W ith Kearney Teachers College (Y ork affirmative at hom e): Y ork 2, 3; Kearney 1, 0.
Rah! Rah! Rah! T h ey’re at it again! It’s contagious! T he whole school has caught if! Y ork College spirit! T he Panther Club as a representative organization of the student body, composed of two members from each class and from the faculty, creates this spirit of pep and en thusiasm of Y . C. T he Panther Club first appeared on the Y ork College campus as the "Booster Club” in 1926. T his organization boosts all activities on the campus, promotes pep rallies and snake dances, directs all projects undertaken during the collegiate year, and plans and sponsors the annual football banquet. T his year the Panther Club started to boost early in the interest of the football games. Try-outs were held in the chapel for the yell leaders and N eva Brookhart, Jean H aner, and O rville Moore were chosen to create that spirit so essential to any school. Perhaps the most important project undertaken by the Panther Club this year was the Gray-Lhevinne concert, held November 5 at the U n ited Brethren Church. It was one of the most pleasing and educational programs ever presented in Y ork. Another important project, one of the cleverest football banquets ever to be given in Y ork College, was held on the twelfth of December, at the U n ited Brethren Church in honor of the team. It was attended by approximately one hundred twenty-five students, faculty, alum ni, and friends. T he Panther Club felt well repaid for their efforts on account of the support given the project by all. Throughout the year, the Panther Club, by their untiring efforts, kept the college spirit at a high point. W h en the team needed support the students, inspired by the club, were there to back them up.

T he Art D epartm ent of Y ork College has been under the capable direction of M rs. J . A . Giauque since Jan uary, 1923. D uring the present year the students of this depart ment have completed a number of beautiful pictures in oil, water color, pastel, and crayon, as well as m any small articles involving much precision. Preceding the holiday vacation much time was devoted to the m aking of gifts, including candle holders, candles, plaques, statues, vases, trays, pillow-tops, tapestry and crayonexed wall panels, decorated mottoes, and tinted greeting cards. D uring the first semester, a class in elem entary mechanical drawing was conducted. Among the topics covered were: the use of instruments, the theory of projection and its application, and problems in perspective, character lines, line shading, sections, tracing, in k ing, lettering, and m aking blue prints and parts of m achinery in light and shade. A class in N orm al A rt is scheduled for the second semester. Among the topics to be studied are: still-life drawing with charcoal and with pencil, block printing, stenciling, house plans, landscaping, decorating tiles, soap sculpture, and wall-hangings. Students m ay take this work who are preparing to serve as art supervisors. A t the close of the college year, an exhibit of students’ work is always held. Last year hundreds of visitors called at the college publicity office on the south side of the square to view the pictures and other products of the A rt D epartm ent on display there. Students in this department who are not in the picture are: V iolette T aylo r, N eva M asters, M rs. H . M artin , Dorothy Fravel, M ilan Lambert, Theron M axon, and W ilb ur Overmiller. Evening classes are held to accommodate people of the community who are otherwise engaged during the day.

T he mixed Glee Club has been doing excellent work under the able direction of D ean Charles Amadon. H is love of good music and his desire that all m ay appreciate it make the glee club training very valuable. D ean Amadon has been nationally recognized as a man of high musicianship. Y ork College m ay be indeed proud to have such a capable director for the voice department. D uring each year the glee club studies and presents in public various selections from classical music. Last year was devoted to the production of "Robin H oqd,” a comic opera, in three acts. T his famous American opera, which was written by Reginald De Koven, with the libretto by H arry B. Sm ith, has as its setting England during the reign of Richard, the Lion-Hearted. T his year’s curriculum has consisted of work on three cantatas in conjunction with the orchestra under the direction of M iss M uriel Thom as, "T he Pilgrim s,” by Chadwick, "T he M an W ithout a Country,” by H asm er, and “T he Psalm of L ife,” by Challinor. M embers from the glee club assisted the advanced music class in the presentation of the operetta, "Barbarossa of B arbary,” given in the college auditorium in M arch. T his musical comedy tells the story of Barbarossa, a renegade Greek who has m ade himself ruler of the A lgerian pirates. Commodore Decatur of the U . S. N avy who goes to warn Barbarossa against molesting the U n ited States shipping, falls in love with A lthea, Barbarossa’s daugh ter. Although her father has other plans, the play ends happily— even for Barbarossa and a ll the rest who decide to go to America and open a G reek restaurant. Plans are being laid for the production of the G ilber-Sullivan opera, "M ikad o ,” as a feature of the M ay D ay fete. It is adm irably suited to an outdoor setting and promises to be among the best entertainnients ever presented here as a M ay D ay feature.

T he H istrionic Club of Y ork College is an organization which studies and presents the better types of plays, both classical and modern. Two of the classical plays studied during the 1930-1931 season are "T he School for Scandal,” by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and "T he D oll’s H ouse,” by H en rik Ibsen. T he organization aims to give at least three m ajor plays during the year from the works of prominent writers. T he first performance this year was the comedy-drama, "Su n -U p ,” by Lula Vollm er. T his was selected by dram atic critics as one of the ten best plays written during the year in which it was published. T he second p lay, "A n Ideal H u s band,” by Oscar W ilde, was given at the Y ork T heater. T he other production of the season, not chosen at this writing, will equal the first in literary merit and standard. T he plan of the club is to give such plays as w ill stim ulate the highest moral and intellectual qualities. Ju st as the skilled jeweler examines the intricate mechanism of a delicate watch or precious clock, so also do the members of the H istrionic Club analyze the individual ele ments of the play, thereby discovering its dram atic qualities, and literary values. T hen as the alarm bell of the masterpiece of time indication awakens sleepy souls from slumber, likewise do the Y ork College players, by the study and production of the best plays, try to awaken the souls of men to a realization of the value of dramatics.

T his pro duction was presented at the Y ork H igh Schoolauditorium on the evening of December 16, 1930, under thedirection of M iss A lm a Tress Lundm an, the new head of the Y ork College expression department. "Su n -U p ,” which was first produced in New Y ork in M ay, 1923, was chosen by leading critics as one of the ten best plays of the season, 1923-1924. Since the first pre sentation, the play has been exceptionally popular with both professional and amateur performers and it always merits the enthusiastic approval of the audience. T he action of the play takes place during the last months of the W orld W a r in the cabin of W idow C agle located in the mountains of western N orth Carolina near the city of Asheville.

T he Y ork Business College, formerly known as the Commercial D epartm ent of Y ork College, has a long history during which time it has established a record for thorough and practical commercial courses. T he enrollment is not so large as in the years before institu tions offering similar courses were so numerous, but the same high standard of efficiency is m aintained. A number of this year’s class have already secured responsible positions. Commercial and shorthand students in Y ork College have a distinct advantage over students in an ordinary business college in that they have the privilege of associating them selves with the regular college students in a ll the activities of campus life. Among the organizations open to them are the C hristian associations, the Literary societies, the Glee Club, the Orchestra, and the Forensic Club. T heir representation on the Student Council and the Panther Club links them up with campus activity in a vital way. These oppor tunities are afforded them not only to m ake the student life of both groups more enjoyable, but because it is believed that the business college graduate is much better prepared for the duties of every day life if he has also had the training for leadership that can be obtained by accepting responsibilities in the various campus organizations. Aside from participating in the social life of the institution as a whole, the business department occasionally holds its own social affairs. Memorable among these occasions will be the wiener roast held in the City P ark last fall.

On every college campus will be found a limited number of young men and women desirous of developing their spiritual life to the fullest extent, of sweeping from their own lh^es and those about them the idiosyncrasies of conventionality, of discovering T ruth as it can be applied to life. T he Life W ork Recruit organization exists to meet the need of this group. Such an aim has led to varied and intensely interesting programs. T he meetings, held every two weeks, are always opened with a period of music and devotion. For a number of meetings men representing various professions, including John E. D ougherty, a law yer; D r. R. E. H arry, a doctor at the Y ork Clinic; and F. C. M iddlebrook, a very successful merchant, have presented the opportunities for true C hristian service in their particular vocation. Live discussions on such topics as "W h a t W ill the Church of the Future Be L ik e?” "W h at are the Requirements for an Effective L eader?” and "H ow Can I H elp M eet the Religious N eeds of M y Own C am pus?” are directed by members of the organiza tion itself. T he books "C hrist of the Indian Road,” by E. Stanley Jones, and "T he Crowded W ays,” a presentation of the city problems, by Charles H . Sears, have been studied. Students from N ew M exico, Porto Rico, the Philippines, or any place from which they m ay have come, present the problems, customs, and needs of their own home. The Recruits have been fortunate in having such prominent religious leaders as the Rev. J. Gordon H oward and D r. C. W . Brewbaker meet with them in their meetings.

T he Y ork College Orchestra, under the direction of M iss M uriel Thomas, is com posed of twenty-one students and friends of the college. T he object of the organization is threefold: to give its members training in intensive sight reading and cooperative playing, to give them the valuable experience of first hand acquaintance with m any orchestral works of m erit, and to provide for students, faculty, and patrons of the college the opportunity of hearing orchestra music occasionally. D uring the first semester several public appearances were m ade, the most note-worthy being a short concert at the U n ited Brethren Church on Sunday evening, November 22. Plans for the second semester include a joint concert with the glee clubs and an entire program of orchestral works in the spring. Rehearsals occur weekly in the college chapel, with an occasional extra practice when necessary. For a part of the season the ensemble included two pianos which made possible several unique and brilliant musical effects. T he repertoire includes “Pipes of Pan,” a suite by Logan; Overture, "T h e M agic Flute,” by M ozart; "Invitation to the W a ltz ,” by W eber; "U nfinished Sym phony,” by Schubert; "Peer G ynt Su ite,” by G rieg; also " M illy on the Shore,” by G rainger; and "Town and Country,” a suite by Olsen, all of which were adm irably played by the string section of the orchestra. T he Orchestra has proved to be a great asset in generating college spirit, and has helped to boost all school activities. T hey have furnished special music between acts of the plays, "Su n -U p ” and "T he Ideal H usband.” Members of the Orchestra also cooperated in fu r nishing special music for the Orpheum of the C arnival. T heir presence at "pep” rallies helped to spur the teams on to victory.

H is untiring efforts in promoting clean athletics and the highest type of sportsmanship and school spirit have resulted in raising the standard of athletic efficiency at Y ork College. In 1928 Coach M cCandless became our Director of Physical Education. In his short time with us, he built up his department to such an extent that Y ork College athletics have been pushed up from a temporarily obscure position into a place of prominence in the collegiate circles. One of his most noticeable achievements at Y ork College was the erec足 tion of the new gym nasium , an accomplishment due directly to his initiative and super足 vision. B ut this in itself was not his greatest contribution to the college. Because he was a leader of men, every one with whom he came in contact felt the influence of his person足 ality.

iHaBkptiraU Prospects for the 1931 basketball season seemed exceptionally good when six lettermen, and a number of other good candidates presented themselves for practice. Everything pointed to a championship team. T hen early in Jan u ary, the team faced an almost insurmountable handicap—the loss of the coach. In the face of such a blow, the team has done exceptionally well. M uch appreciation is due to Coach Gautsch of Y ork H igh School for his assistance. Y ork started clicking from the start and soon had the scalps of Concordia, Hebron, and Grand Island on their belts. T hey dropped the next few games to M id land , Doane, H astings, and Cotner, and then came out of their slump to defeat W esleyan and Doane. Cotner came back and succeeded in defeating Y ork for the second time as did M idland also. A gain Y ork staged a comeback and defeated W esleyan and G rand Island. The H astings game was "the” game of the season, and the Panthers held the strong H astings Broncos to a five point lead.

Golf plays a very important role in our spring sports schedule. For this game, our golfers have access to the beautiful Y ork Country Club. A true lover of golf could scarcely resist the lure of the ball and club on such beautiful grounds. Y ork College golfers greatly appreciate the generosity of the country club in allowing them the privilege of playing on their links. T he Y . C. golf team completed a very successful season in 1930. T hey finished their schedule undefeated, in most cases absolutely swamping their opponents. .They have, by their outstanding playing, won a state-wide reputation as golfers. Y ork was defeated by M idland by only one point, thus losing the N . C. A . C. Championship of 1930. Among the new students enrolled this year are some skillfu l golfers, who m ake the prospects for the 1931 golf season look especially good.

Besides conducting their own athletic activities, the " Y ” Club aids the officials in the district high school basketball tournament, and handles its own invitation tournament. T he membership of the club was lim ited to those men who were awarded the official " Y ” in any of the sports in which the school takes part. Any man upon being awarded the official " Y ” in any sport is given the privilege of purchasing through the " Y ” Club, a small medal emblem which is a life pass and will adm it him to all college athletic events. T he honorary members of the club are: Dean Bisset, the Rev. P. B. Porter, and Prof. W arren B aller.

Intram ural athletics has played a prominent part in the sports schedule of Y ork College. According to campus custom, the Freshmen must wear the "green� until T hanksgiving. T hen if they win two out of three contests with the U pper Classmen they are exempt from the wearing of the green for the remainder of the year. If defeated, they must wear the green until Christmas. T he first contest was the football game between the Freshmen and the U pper Class men. It was a thriller with both teams equally matched. T he gam e ended in a 0-0 tie. T he next contest was a volleyball game between the U p p er Class women and the Frosh women. It was a very close contest but the game ended with the U pper Class W omen winning, 3 to 1. T he Freshmen redoubled their efforts in the third and last contest, the tug-of-war. T he outcome of the tug-of-war was victory for the U pper Classmen, for they pulled their opponents across the m ark two out of three times. It was the first time in the history of Y ork College, that the Frosh had to wear the green until Christmas. Plans are being made for interclass basketball tournaments for both men and women. In the meantime the women in the "Con� have challenged the women residing in the city to a basketball gam e, and the Seventh street men have challenged the winning team in the Eighth street versus N inth street game. Later in the spring the annual track meet will be held. Last year the Sophomores won the track meet and they will m ake a strong bid for the track laurels this spring. Tennis and golf have a strong following on the campus also. Intram ural athletic contests are growing in popularity on the campus. Everyone has a chance to participate in his favorite sport, and interclass rivalry has succeeded in bringing out the elements of good sportsmanship.

Splash! Splash! Come on, you mermaids! Everybody in! No member of the class needs a second invitation to dip into the pool. Swim m ing is a very popular sport at Y ork College. T he classes are conducted at the city Y . M . C. A. building where the pool is generously opened to college women one night each week. T his courtesy is very much appreciated. T he pool is available the year around and is equally popular in winter and summer. U n d er the efficient direction of M iss Jeanette Bisset, great progress has been made in this wholesome and worth while form of recreation. She instructs both the advanced and the beginners’ classes. M any young women who have had no previous training m ake use of the regularly scheduled swimming classes. T he young women of the summer session have also taken advantage of this splendid opportunity as is evidenced by the fact that the enrollment of the swimming class last summer was exceptionally large. T his indicates that women are realizing more and more the value of swimming, and thoroughly appreciate their opportunity to become proficient in this popular and healthful recreation. Every year the members of these classes have an opportunity to take a course in life saving. T he practical value of this work cannot be emphasized too much. Throughout the country the great loss of life by drowning has been decreased to a great extent by a knowledge of life saving methods. M r. J . H . W righ t, secretary of the city Y . M'. C. A ., has greatly encouraged this work. H is assistance is much appreciated. Swim m ing is one of the newest and most practical sports which the W . A. A . sponsors, and helps to round out the athletic sport program for the young women of the college.
