track and field chores, they
stopped to pay respect to him,
Henry F. Schulte.
They watched the dedication
that immortalized their "Pa", the

M-iiim s.
Eiiitnr of the Daily's bitterest
rival publication, The Cornhusker,
Man of the Year Johnston may
look askance at his new title, but
it will do him no good. By virtue
of the voting of some fifteen
members of The Daily Nebraskan
stafl, the shoe is on Johnston's
loot And he'll wear it whether

BASKING IN GLORY is no
pastime of Jerry Johnston. He is
too busy getting out a yearbook
which is predicted by the greater
majority of campus journalists to
take an All-Amcrican rating
pluque commemorating his serv
ice as The Coach was unveiled.
"Pa" would have smiled at the
words of the plaque, as well as
those of Frederick Ware in his
dedicatory address. For cast in
bronze were: "Dedicated to the
spirit of Nebraska as exemplified
in the life of Henry F. Schulte,
friend of youth, builder of men."
He would have been touched by
the music of the marching- band,
the appearance of Corn Cobs,
Tassels. Innocents, and N-Club
men, the sentiments of Dr. G. E.
Condra, Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, Rob
ert Devoe, Fritz Daly, Coach Ed
Weir and Mr. Ware.
The Nebraska coach of 1919
to 1938. who died in 1944, would
have been overwhelmed at the re
sponse to the dedication-revealed
in a number of letters and mes
sages sent to his wife.
But most of all, he would have
been pleased by another success
ful running of the Big Seven Out
door Track events. Those were
his boys out there
ance as Chris Mann in "Due Unto
Caesar" earned him Experimental
Theater "best actor" selection.
Mary Lou Thompson, Linda Sea
ton in "Holiday " won the actress
honors. Two other performances
in "Do Unto Caesar' 'merited
supporting actor and actress
awards. Michael Shannahan, who
played Goliath in the play, and
Elaine Lamphear, Grandma in
"Caesar," were recipients of the
honors.
Freshman acting awards were
presented to Dwight Smith and
Marilyn Morgan by the Nebras

awards were won by Mary Sigler

banquet for the Cornhusker staff.
In making an after-dinner speech,
newly appointed editor John
Connelly praised the work of the
past editor and declared that "this
year's Cornhusker will undobted
ly bo the best one in twenty
years." Without batting an eye,
Johnston, in a suave and just
possibly sarcastic voice, made the
succinct quip, "John, you're SO
right."
TO ATTEMPT to put into
words the excellence of the forth
coming yearbook would do John
ston's outstanding work little
justice. During this three years
of working on The Cornhusker
prior to his appointment as editor,
Johnston made many observations
and conclusions as to what would
make a good yearbook. The
profitable results of those years
will be evident to the subscribers.
