Ivy Day royalty crowned at Chadron State

Stevens is a human biology major who has been the historian for Cardinal Key National Honor Society this past year. In late April, she spoke on research she had conducted at the Nebraska Academy of Sciences annual meeting in Lincoln.

Wasserburger has majored in both legal studies and history and received the award as the outstanding senior scholar in both departments. He was president of the Student Senate, the Legal Studies Club and the Political Science Club this past year. He also has been treasurer of Blue Key, which joins Cardinal Key in sponsoring Ivy Day.

First attendants to the royal couple were Erin Legerski of Rock Springs, Wyo., and Zach Nesbitt of Imperial. Other attendants to the queen were Avery Shaw of Potter, Shannon Anslover of North Platte and Mary Andrews of Rapid City, S.D. The other attendants to the king were Jack Sides of Hot Springs, S.D., Scott Wewel of Ainsworth and Kyle Demoray of Chadron.
