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

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.

Black.
Robert Black, class of '43, is
serving in the capacity of techni
cal director of the Civic Theater,
Portland, Oregon. A Nebraska
graduate, Bob received his M. A.
degree at Northwestern Uni
versity. 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. "The
greatest voice has not yet sung;
the greatest song has not yet been
written; the greatest actor is yet
to take the stage."
