Page 4 THE DAILY NEBR ASK AN Wednesday, May 14, 1947 Speech Graduates Establish High Record of Excellency BY LARRY GOLDBLATT This is the third of a scries of articles paying honor to Nebraska students and alumni. Today, we will examine part of the record established by the university speech department. We feel this can best be done through a dis cussion of the prominent former students it has produced. Where Nebraskans have gone, over the country and over the world, in all fields of speech work, dramat ics and dramatic writings, they have made fine records for them selves. A treat number of students could be listed in an attempt to cxtoll rightful due. Lack of space forbids us to acknowledge them all, so we merely submit a partial list of prominent alumni of the University of Nebraska speech department. Many of our former graduates have found prominence in the field of tetaching. Armond Hunter is among the first to be called to our attention. Armond is director of speech department of North western University. While at Ne braska, Armond was graduated in 1937 with a B.A. degree in speech and later earned his M.A. degree in Fhilosophy at Nebraska. He is a former director of the Univer sity Theater. Chrts of '39 visi tors to Drake University will meet former classmate Portia Boynton directing the Children Theater at that university. Until last year, Portia instructed at the Nebraska School of Agriculture at Curtis, Neb. A friend whom many of you may recall is Geraldine McKinsey, class of '46, now director of debate at Nor folk Junior College and high Rifle Club Elects Avner President Sam S. Avner was elected presi dent of the Nebraska Rifle club at a recent meeting. Selected as vice president was Robert B, Avner. Herb Miller and Walter Palmer were chosen secretary and treasurer.

Bob made national fame his excellent work in set de signing for which he is con sidered to be an authority. Look ing back in the records of the class of '28, the name of Zollcy Lerner takes its place in the spotlight. Zolley is now in Holly wood writing radio and movie scripts and -producing motion pictures. Jack Bittner, class of '39, has turned to acting as a career. Jack has appeared in sev eral successful Broadway produc tions and has recently taken his talents to the movies. These are but a few of our alumni who have left the campus to rise to higher goals on the outside. Their success has been great, though the zenith of their goals has not yet been reached. To those of you in the University of Nebraska speech department, may their success be an inspiration and may you some day reach or surpass their fine standards.
