Bandmaster 'Billie' Quick Proves That
He Is Not Personal Publicity Seeker
"I do not wish to be Interviewed
about myself." modestly declared
W. C. "nillte" Quick when con
fronted by a Nebraskan reporter,
"because there are so many older
and more prominent men on the
campus who are much more de
serving than 1 am." But as that is
Just some people's way of saying
to the press, "Come on, write my
biography and print It," the re
porter persisted.
After a few minutes, however, it
was clear that the interviewed
really meant what he said and so
forced the embryo Journalist to be
content with a few facts about the
different musical organizations he
has been and is now with.
Directs Military Band.
Billie Quick, most famous as di
rector of thn R. O. T. C. band, is
now competing his eleventh year
In that capacity. Besides that, he
Is director of a fine arts band, a
state farm band, and a Wesley
Foundation church orchestra.
Before becoming band director,
he was leader of the old Oliver
theater orchestra In Lincoln for
twelve years, directed municipal
orchestra concerts for three years,
and played a summer band .engage
wnut In Colorado Spring"
"1 have always enjoyed band
work," said Billie, "and think the
material is constantly Improving.
That Is due, of course, to good
competent instruction in high
school.
"Tho ideal band, In my opinion.
Is about 75 or 80 pieces and that
is the site of the R. U. T. C. band
this semester, although 104 were
registered last semester."
Billie played violin and French
born before taking up directing.
Apparently he was a "chip off the
old block" as his father was also
a band man. Blllle's first profes
sional engsgement came when he
was only eighteen years old. And
since that time he has been con
stantly working with some phase
or other of music.
Took Position In 1918.
"The first year I was here was
the hardest," he said. "That was
In 1918 beforo the war was entirely
finished and by the end of the
first semester the band dwindled
down to twelve pieces. We re
organized the second semester
with thirty-eight .and since then
the band has been continually
growing.
"We wore the regular khaki uni
forms then, of course, hut cha'igod
In a couple of years to the cadet
gray which we have had ever
since. The band used to practice
in the old armory building, and I
also had an office there.
"The first year, due to the war,
we didn't take any trips. But we
made up for it the next year by
touring Kansas, Omaha and Min
neapolis. The third year we went
to Ames."
Billie was born In eastern Penn
sylvania but has spent the greater
part of his life In Lincoln.

Junior-Senior Prom
Evolves as Major
Cornhusker Parlj
Junior-Senior Prom, except for a
Period of a very few years, has an
ffl been one of the major ao
clal functions at tne ljuivers.ty.
During the World war the Prom
was dropped from university func
tions, and was not begun again un
til 1927
An liiipecuon of the Sombrerj
(now the Cornhusker) of 1900,
showa the Junior Prom was one of
the most Important formal paries
ot the wun. At that time, before
social life had become a prominent
factor in university life, the Prom
was an nnuaual party so rare that
the student life section of the year
book lra filled with material con-
-,CThe Prom girl of 1900, Instead of
getting a page In the yearbook plus
moving pictures, was given a small
cartoon partially hidden by adver
tlotss in the xloalng section of the
book. . ,
Poem Given To Her
" Under the cartoon, which is al
most a work of art, stands the
poem: .
As stately and fair as a queen is
he
Each motion she makes is a mo-
tioncf grace,
fhe glides through the waltx as
light as a bird
The sunshine of love making
holy her face.
The hour P swiftly, they
aeem like a dream.
Alas I that the dance must soon
draw to a close;
But under the atars I'll press her
red lips,
Like kisoing the heart of a vel
rety rcee.
Reinstated In 1927
In 1927 the Junior-Senior Trom
was again made one of the three
major social functions of the Uni
versity. This was the first Prom to
be given since the war. Oscar Norl
ing and Kate Goldstein headjsd the
prn committee for that year.
Flice Holovichiner was elected as
rrom girl by a popular vote of
those attending the party.
Frita Daly and Clara Olson were
In charge of the Prom for 1928. Kd
Hh'siae Johnson was elected Prom
l 'rl by a popular vote on the night

didates. Ry Sabata and Julia Ri

R. H. Wolcott's Connection
With University Goes
Back to 1894
Dr. R. H. Wolcott, chairman of
the department of zoology, made
his first appearance on the Univer
sity faculty In 1894. At that time
he was an assistant in the depart
ment of zoology.
Doctor Ward was then head of
the department, and as Doctor Wol
cott expressed it, he was the whole

thing. The department required but
two Instructors at that early stage.
The enrollment was very small.
In 1901 Doctor Wolcott trans
ferred to the department of anat
omy, where at first he was the only
instructor. He remained In that de
partment until it was removed to
Omaha at the time the College of
Medicine was established there.
Then he returned to the depart
ment of zoology in 1909 and became
head of the department in 19 9.
Department Enrollment Grows
To illustrate the growth of the
department since 1908, he went
back to his files and showed that
there were only 123 students en
rolled In all classes In zoology the
first semester 1908-1909. The first
semester of the present school year
there were 797 students enrolled.
There are now eight professors and
instructors in the department.
Dctor Wolcott recalled that fact
that In the early days a faculty
field day for the benefit of the
Y. M. C. A. was one of the Inter
esting events of the school year.

civil engineering. At that time
there was only one department of
engineering, which was a part of
the Industrial College.
All of the engineering classes
were held in University hall and
there was a single laboratory room
In the basement of that building.
The laboratory equipment consist
ed, according to Mr. Chatburn. of
some surveying instruments and a
cement testing machine.
Few Buildings Then
The buildings the University
had then were University hall.
Chemistry hall (now the Pharmacy
building). Nebraska hall (contain
ing the biological sciences), the
south wing of the library and Grant
Memorial bail.
A year after Mr. Chatburn came,
a machine shop was erected, the
present electrical engineering
building. This shop was the labor
atory for all the engineering de
partments. Mr. Chatburn during the school
year 1926-27 was acting dean of
men, following the resignation of
C. C. Engberg. Mr. Chatburn at
tended the twenty-fifth anniver
sary of the University when he
came to the University as a visi
tor, being at that time superintend
ent of schools at Wymore.
Early Member
Of Innocents
Tells History
Amidst the dusty grandeur of a
profusion of cob-webbed walls, a
small group of university men
gathered one night twenty-six
years ago this spring in an attic
room of old University hall to form
the Innocent's society.
"When Georgo P. Shidler, first
president of the Innocents, was el
ected," declared O. J. Fee, manager
of the Evans laundry, one of the
charter members of the Innocents
society, while recounting some of
the early events connecied with
the history of the society, "he had
but one Idea in mind. That wag to
have a good time paid for by the
Juniors. It was an' Idea dominated
by sociability rather
structive activity..
"Twentv years later, Mr. Shidler,
who Is now a physician operating a
large sanitarium In California, re
turned to the campus and witness
ed tho new form or innocenis in
Illation now in use. He was aston
ished at the opportunity which he
saw that the organisation pos
sessed in the way of serving the
University."
This surnrlslna change that the
early Dresldent found in the socl
ety was due In part, according to
Mr. Fee, to the ideas of the men
associated with Shidler In the or-
aanlzatlon of the Innocents
"They had." he asserted, "other
thouahts than merely those or nav
ing a good time. They desired first
of all to ftnd the basis in tne punnc
mind for all objections to the Unl
versify. They tried then to form a
contact of information by establish
ing wherever possible throughout
the slate men to' whom anyone In
the community could go and get
whatever information they wanted
to know. These were at first honor
ary members of the society, and
then, as soon as the active mem
bers began to graduate, they also
seived in this capacity.
"Thus was made possible the
clearing up of university problems,
not only during the legislative sea
son when much Is always heard of
concerning the school, but between
the times of appropriations as well,
The public, likewise, was thus en
abled to keep In continuous touch
with a knowledge of the cultural
and economic benefits to the state
emanating from the University.
The name "Innocents," accord
ing to Mr. Fee, originated In the
South. In applying the appellation
to the group formed in 1903 ou the
Nebraska campus, the purpose of
the organization was to show a
lock of evil tendencies on the part
of Its members towards the educa
tional institution of which they
were a part.
