I he Agawasie has become a fixed institution, taking on each year a strikingly individual character. Other annuals follow a standard pattern but this one has a design all its own. Instead of reflecting standardized traditions it reflects the unique and original personality of our own school which has combined new and old education, cultural and industrial and business training in a manner which has already given us distinction. The Agawasie grows with the school and reflects the expanding activity of the school. J'.ach year the Agawasie is bigger, better and nearer to perfection. The edition of 1927 is the largest and most perfectly designed hook ever produced here, and in these respects properly represents a school year which has been our largest in point of attendance and our most satisfactory year in point of accomplishment.

It consists of four members, one from each department, elected by students during the fall term of each year. President Riley, an ex-officio member, assists and advises them. The members of the Cabinet represent their departments in the interests and governing power of the school. I'he Student Cabinet controls the spending of the student fund, promotes school life by superintending social activities, nominates the editors of the Agawasie and the Small Pica, and appoints the business managers of the Athletic Association and of the Penny Carnival. Members for this year were: President. Thomas Me-began, Junior College: Ciilhert Wettstein. High School: Lucylle Williams. Commercial Department: and Klmer Arp. Trades Department. During the past year the Cabinet worked diligently for the best interests of the school. Much credit is due them for the many splendid social events. 37 V«V.

It was intended only for student readers, and begun mainly as practice work for the student printers. But the publication was greeted with eager interest by the school and grew rapidly. The mailing list has been extended this year from 000 to 2000 names. Phis includes the exchanges. Without studied consideration or effort, the Small Pica has built up an exchange group from schools much larger than its own. Many come from long distances Representative of these are the Raimin of the Montana State University, and the Daytona Beach (Fla.) High School paper. The Pica staff shares honors with the orchestra ns being the most incessantly active organization at Science School, 'file activity and efficiency of the group, even with the burden of school work has made possible the compactly newsy Small Pica every Friday. I Ielcnc Burnson and Georgia Reckert headed the staff as editor and associate editor this year. Both positions arc held by women for the first time in the publication's history. Ten other staff members devote time and energy to the paper. F.lmcr Arp produces a live column of campus news. Social events, both of clubs and entire school, are reported by Donald Aird and Gertrude I luppclcr. The weekly convocation is reviewed by Frank Crum. Arnold Sansburn and Arthur Wcstphal co-operate to see that the Pica never lacks interesting athletic news. The exchange, a reestablished department, is supervised by Filna Frisk. Melvin Nelson rustles up department notes. Lucylle Williams is reporter of Student Cabinet proceedings. The ”1 lell-Box. humor column, is made alive by Valeria Richels. The constant advice and assistance of Mr. Satterlee and Prof. McMahon has contributed to the paper’s success. The Journalism Class has been an active contributor to the Pica, aiding by editing the Pica Periscope and assisting in the issuance of special editions. m A |y N 5im ■«aw——— ax_: - a y Md 39 Oratorical Club l or many years in the past it was customary in this school to hold an annual prize oratorical contest open to all students who were high school graduates. For several recent years this important activity lagged, but it was successfully revived last year and should return as an annual event. This year the students registered for the contest decided to revive another former activity by forming an Oratorical Club. Because all members are contestants for the same prize, no officers are elected and the meetings are conducted as round-table conferences. Of the six entries for a preliminary contest, four will he chosen late in May to speak in the final contest which will probably he held during the first part of Class Week. The expressed purposes of the club are to promote general interest in public speaking and to increase, on the part of its members, skill in effective oral composition and delivery.

At the beginning of the winter term the Spanish I class was admitted to membership, with a reelection resulting in the following officers: ’Theodore I.aibly. President: Clara Bernard. Vice- President; I lelene Burnson. Secretary and Treasurer. The purpose of organizing the club was to promote the use of Spanish conversation, and to study the cultural side ot Spanish life, which includes the study of operas, music, and literature.

It meets the first and third Monday of every month with two members as hosts. It is the first German club ever organized at Science and has been the most active and successful this year. Its members arc: Theodore Laihly, Gilbert Wettstein, Valeria Kichels, I .dna Frisk, Irene Finn, Mary McClennon, and Marcella Morris who joined the class the winter term. R,ti, t if V 71 42 Printers’ Glub The printing department attracted more attention this year than any previous year, for there was not only a larger group ol hoys enrolled Inn also more girls. The club organized for the sole purpose of having an association that would promote entertainments. It is evident from the success of the meetings that the cluh attained its purpose. These meetings were held once a month either at the home of Mr. Sattcrlee or the students homes. I’he officers for the first term were: I liner Arp. President: .Margaret Jones. Vice-President; and Clarence Finden. Secretary ami Treasurer. For the second term they had a re-election of officers. the result being as follows: Donald lioylan. President: Ahner M’ollan.

The aim of the club was to gain educational and social values. The club was fortunate in having a variety of talent in music, and especially in boxing and wrestling, which made their programs very interesting and entertaining. Besides furnishing entertainment for its members, the club sponsored the Llectrician’s basketball team, which held practice every Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the school gymnasium. , great deal of credit should be given to Mr. Barnard who not only sponsored the club but also served as a very efficient basketball coach. 44 Commerce Club 'I lie Commerce Club is composed of commercial students.

Only those taking high school work are eligible for membership. I he purpose of the club is to bring the high school students in social contact with each other. Meetings were held once a month, where members ol the club would give programs of not only educational value but also for entertainment. Parties were held at different times throughout the year.

IL LLOWP KN MASKI-D BALL I'lie second social event of the season proved beyond a doubt that the Science School students of ’26 and '27 were running over with spirit and enthusiasm. A record crowd of students met at the gymnasium on the evening of November 5 to enjoy the I lal-lowc’cn masquerade. The many and varied costumes moving here and there among the corn shocks and rows of Jack-o-lanterns. the decorations of orange and black, the ghosts and witches transformed an every day gym into a fest-placc of spirits. Pun began as soon as the party opened and increased as the evening progressed. The entertainment began with the eerie rendition of ghost stories by Monsieur Bloody Bones and Captain Creepy Pleslt, who rose from the grave and in spirit’s attire attended the meeting. Pollowing this a ghostly companion organized those present into the P.xalted Order of the Kollywob-hies and issued the command “Pollow me!” All followed. 1 hey turned the electrified door knob of the main building and entered ||« M •gT-nr-- — r: M ;• w IS 51 H.w.i.owiiV.x .Maskid lh u. what seemed to be the 1 louse of the Dead.

The climax was reached when the group, was led into the Chamber of Horrors to behold the dripping heads of three of Bluebeard’s wives and to see the diabolical fiend preparing to use the hatchet on the fourth of his seven wives. i pon returning to the gymnasium Mrs. Sarah Jones Clapp delighted the group with a vocal solo. “The Dance of the Witches and Werner (iiube ended the program with the singing of a Negro Spiritual.

Prizes for costumes were awarded to: (iertrude I luppclcr. lor most beautiful; Rose Bartunck, for most appropriate; and Alvin Becker for most comical man. 52 TUI- CHRISTMAS PARTY The weather man seemed to he doing his level best to put a damper on Science School social activities. I Ic had met each party with wind ami rams and celebrated the Christmas tide with a steadily dropping thermometer. Nevertheless every one turned out smiling and cheerful on the evening of December Id to greet Santa Claus. The committees worked hard and gave a program well worth mentioning. A men's quartet consisting of Mr. McMillan. Werner Grube, James I laggerty and Allan Weed opened the evening followed by the singing of Christmas Carols. Pantomimes of Bible scenes, a piano solo by Amy ilson. and a violin solo by Roland Chcstney. Characters in the Pantomimes were: . . . Amy Wilson . . . Klmcr Arp . . .

The rest of the evening was spent in dancing to the music of the Oriole orchestra. Refreshments were served and at the stroke of midnight a general scramble was made for taxics. (KT-ACQl AI NTI I) PARTY J lie second quarter opened with another big gct-acquaintcd party. It could indeed be called one of the best parties of the year. Because of the enlarged enrollment the crowd exceeded that of any other time. I he Science School Orchestra made their lirst appearance and started the ball rolling. At nine o'clock the Orioles took charge and Doc” Grube started the merry chase that lasted until “Lights Out. The gymnasium was decorated in the Science School colors, red and black, and the lights were shaded with paper “caps to everyone's satisfaction. All had a good time although many ol the girls seemed badly in need of secretaries to keep their programs straight. Punch Sr— - ivJtiar -HC rMff-ir-i vm.

I he weather man was present as usual and sent in his last lick with a blizzard, but also as usual Science students turned out one hundred per cent. I he evening’s entertainment opened with a short program followed by a dance. The music was furnished by the Cracker Jack Orchestra and added to the hilarity of the evening. Punch was served after collars began to wilt. Dancing lasted until shortly after midnight. COMMHKCK CIA I PARTI KS The first Commerce Club Party took place January 14 under a tropic moon with a sly winking face who looked down upon more than 30 couples dancing to the Oriole Orchestra. Informal dancing started about 8:30 and lasted until 9 o’clock when the program dancing began. 16 dances, 5 of them moonlights, made up the program. It was broken with an extra circle two step after the eighth dance. About this time a rush was made on the punch howl and Roberts was kept busy keeping the bowl full.

Games followed this, and then the lunch. Kskimo pie and cookies made up the menu, and finished off well the enjoyable evening. Till-: PENNY CARNIVAL OF 1927 The second quarter closed with the most brilliant event of the season. The Penny Carnival. The following description is taken from the Small Pica: “The Penny Carnival of March IS and 19 was undoubtedly the most brilliant one ever presented by the school. Never has the school gymnasium been so completely and effectively a glorious array of color and life. Not only a large but an unusually enthusiastic crowd of young people from Breckenridge and Wah-peton were present to take advantage of the good time offered by every branch of the Carnival. “'Lhe main floor was a-glitter with life. The profusion of decorations, the abundance of confetti in the hands of the revellers, the shouts of the ballyhoo criers, and the stirring rhythm of the music, combined to produce the genuine thrilling Carnival spirit in the hearts of everyone. “ I'he dance floor was a graceful bower of lavender, pink and blue. The conccssionists decked their stands in colors gaudy, dainty, or beautiful. Shadowy purple gradually blended into the gayer gypsy colors in the scheme of the fortune telling booth. e Okie Curiosity Shoppe was dressed in orange, gray and silver, the tea-shop wound and draped with green and white, the confetti corner festooned with lavender and buff: even the sandwich shop was gay with crepe paper so that each individual hot-dog might carry its share of carnival glory as it started on its journey. Thus description might continue with combinations ol black and white, red and black and so on. With decorations so bright few could withstand the charm and influence, all gave themselves up to the carnival spirit of excitement, interest, and extravagance. “Stands were of a quality above last year. They boasted among their array a curio booth, fortune telling booth, tea-room, keno table, horseshoe contest, nigger baby stand, grab booth, roulette wheels, as well as shops for the dissemination o! confetti, sandwiches, balloons, novelties, ice-cream, candy, and pop among the crowd. Their attractions tilled full the evening and many stomachs. •V Tin: Pirates—Pi-nxy Carnival Tiik l-oii.iis—Penny Carnival EUAl _1 t.y .J-ULrLUZriD - — Hum --AUiinrr- -e -fcl Y i-j “Features that drew crowd after crowd on both nights were the distinctly varied and clever follies mnnhers and Mr. McMahons positively blood-curdling Pirate show. •‘The follies consisted of a very select group of numbers chosen from several famous follies productions of 1926-27 with supplementary songs and solos all of which were arranged lor by Amy Wilson, manager. “The last Bucket of Blood had been spilled. The last swashbuckling pirate had disappeared from the Spanish Main. The last (ialleon had been looted. “When Sir Henry Morgan slew Kidtl, the pirate, in the I'ta Bita Pi Penny Carnival presentation of Buckets of Blood, and retired from the high seas to wed the fair Panatela dc Cabbagio, peace descended once more upon the oceanic expanse and the southern stars smiled down in approval. “The Carnival in gaiety of effect, and cleverness of production, was one of high order. To Amy Wilson and those who aided her, the Pica gives thanks and congratulations.” iii r m A f i i k who’s who 'I'lie annual Who's Who contest conducted by the Small Pica staff took place February 4.

B. Sattcrlee. Needless to sav. the evening was most enjovably spent. Games were played, and a number of violin solos were played by Miss Georgia Reckert with Miss Amv Wilson as accompanist. Mr. and Mrs. Sattcrlee have one of the finest phonographs in Wahpcton. More than that, they have the finest collection of records, both of the popular and classical music. Between games the guests were entertained by these fine pieces. The party was one of those affairs you remember. Kspeciallv will the guests remember Mrs. Satterlce’s splendid lunch. FOOTBALL BANQIT.T One evening in November the Science School gridiron men assembled in the banqueting hall and were treated to one of the finest three-course dinners ever proffered to a group of sturdy football players. The dinner was prepared and served by Mrs. Richard balley and the students of her department. The atmosphere for the occasion was properly propitiated by decorations fitting to the occasion. After the appetite had been satiated, the loquacious Albert Nelson, acting as master of ceremonies, rose austere and august to address those venerable men. After expatiating for three or four hours he decided that his auditors were losing sight of his elevating and inspirational oration. I le sat down, and now wiped his manly brow with the palm of -IlFv -TO 60 his dirty hand. To show that lie was far inferior to the other members present lie allowed them each a minute to prove it. While Albert was talking, his “Romans'' turned a deaf ear to him for a few minutes to listen to Allen Weed play a couple of piano solos. Albert was still talking, but Mr. Riley thinking it fitting and proper to express his opinion, rose to address the doughty men. For a few minutes guests found it difficult to listen to both of them at once. Tile wily football players were not to be irritated for long, however. They soon discovered that Mr. Riley had a longer wave length than Albert and consequently the latter was turned out of the race. At the occasion Fddie Aclitcr and Frank Sykora were elected Captains for the 1927 squad. BASKETBALL BANQUET The splendid dinner served in honor of the 1927 Conference Basketball Champions was a fitting close for one of the most successful seasons ever witnessed at this school. A fine three-course dinner was prepared by Mrs. Richard Falley and her class of domestic science students. Brief talks were given by Captain Bassett and other members present. The business of electing a Captain for the team of 1927-1928 was part of the business of the evening. Fddie Aclitcr. stellar center for this year's team, was almost unanimously elected.

Martin of Pekin. China addressed the assembly on Wednesday, October 13. Rev. Mr. Holmes pleaded for better educational facilities for the negro boys and girls. I le pointed out that, so far the schools for negroes only gave some consideration to a ,f 'Hjii zr 1 BF- ■I -sV' r� . HTT7T I - m rV ft m I w 7r sTr f CM '|AU 77J..MCfc trades. I Ic felt that there were a number of those boys ami girls who could and wanted to take up the study of some profession. Mr. Martin, who has been a missionary in China for the past sixteen years, gave us a clear insight as to what China was doing in the way of education. I Ic outlined a brief history of China and showed how rapidly that country had improved and developed in the past hundred years. According to Mr. Martin. China is rapidly adopting many of the American customs and habits and also learning to utilize her many great resources. “The Chinese. said Mr. Martin, “do not complain about our immigration law. but they object to the restrictions it places on students who want to enter American colleges and universities. Mr. Martin touched briefly on the subject of tariff, and on the military system in China. is JAMKS W. FOLLY VISITS SCHOOL On Wednesday, October 6th. James W. l olev, famous North Dakota poet, addressed members of the faculty and students at one of the regular convocations. Since Mr. I olev is a humorist as well as a poet, he interspersed his talk on education with flashes of original humor. In his talk Mr. holey contrasted the antiquated method of education, “external stucco to the kind which infuses wisdom from within. The true teaching spirit makes the student want to know and want to act. It puts the mind of the college man or woman in a receptive mood to knowledge, ami tends to make them sane idealists. The.world wants sane idealists. said Mr. holey. “It wants people with eyes on the stars and feet on the ground— perhaps also one eye on the ground to avoid a possible accident. The world needs tfie sane efforts of every well disposed spirit to make of it a beautiful pattern of life. ’Hie happiest and best educated man is the man who likes his job, knowing also that he is supplying something necessary to the world. 1 his knowledge makes for steady cheerfulness without false optimism. Mr. holey defined an optimist as a man who thought that all the flies in the butcher shop were trying to get out. “ The educated man. continued Mr. holey “never wants to live where there is no struggle. I le wants neither to be a slug on the doorstep to be stepped on. nor an oyster to be swallowed. Khc speaker illustrated here by reciting his own humorous ballad of “The Well-Contented Ovstcr. An invitation of the human spirit — - B • ■ to do its best, as regards education, is understanding and encouragement. “It we are to be happy,” saiii Mr. Foley we must forget ourselves absolutely in the glory of the work we arc doing.” I le closed his well-received address by quoting a lew of his poems. Ih.KK I.II.JA . xi Wll.r.lS AxiMiSSoN Sll KIN«. I l. NI)S Till-: BOX INC. AND WKF.STI.INC, FXIIIBITIONS On Saturday, February I2tli llerb l.ilja of Bismarck and Willis Anderson of Fargo headlined one of the finest amateur boxing bouts ever promoted in this part of the country. 'File bouts were staged in the school gymnasium. I lerb l.ilja ami Willis Anderson, middleweights, went six rounds, showing Hashes of speed, splendid footwork and accuracy of punching. Although the bout was called a draw by referee Canfield it was generally conceded by the spectators that l.ilja had the shade over his less experienced opponent. As preliminaries Frank Crum and Bill Latimer, lithe and agile printers, hoxed four last rounds. There were also good bouts between Arnold Sansburn and Orville W ick, welterweights, and Art W’estphal and Alvin Wilde, light heavies. After a fast 64 and struggling tusscl Dick Krickson won the wrestling match over Red Williams. I Kerb I ilja was imported lor the event. The other participants were all students. Till-: SENIOR PLAY The seniors scored a big hit in the presentation of “The Whole Town’s Talking. The play was a side-splitting comedy ably presented by a well-chosen caste. Mr. Masica is to be congratulated for his splendid work in directing this presentation. Below we quote from one of the local newspapers, the Walt-peton Globe. “The Science school seniors made a tremendous hit with their class play, “The Whole Town's Talking. presented at the opera house Wednesday night. Critics agreed that it was one of the most creditable home talent plays ever produced here and that it was the equal of stock company productions. It was directed by Prof. Peter Masica of the Science school faculty. “One Wahpcton man who saw the play presented in Chicago by the original cast declared the acting Wednesday night was generally as good as that of the professionals and that in the case of Werner Grubc in the part of a motion picture producer the Wahpcton acting was superior. “With no mental reservations, it can be stated that each member of the cast was a star. Axel I.ilja. Valeria Richels. Agnes Alzheimer and Melvin Nelson in the lead parts were all excellent, but yet superior to those in minor parts only insofar as their prominence gave them added opportunity. Other members of the cast were: Bobbie Kern, Wilbur I.unday. I Iclcnc Burnson. Kvelvn Jamieson. Martha Krickson. Kleanor Wreske and John Callan. Senior Play from the Small Pica: “I-’rom start to finish the audience was with the cast, and enjoyed the funny situations which Chester Binnev (Melvin Nelson) better known as Chet allowed himscll to be led into bv ironic Mr. Simmons. Melvin certainly can carry himself like a fellow who has sat for years on a high bookkeeper’s stool with his legs dangling in mid-air. Alter Mr. Simmons (Axel I.ilja) persuades him to marry his daughter the trouble began. The crowd was delighted by Kthel and her winning ways, her prize being the much sought after Chet. Mrs. Simmons (Valeria Richels) made matters much worse by doubting her husband to such extent that she called up room 221 at the 65 Grand I Intel. The result of this was a very dramatic clash between her husband and the visitor, a brother J'Ik by the way. “Doc” Cirube, alias Donald Swift, was the jealous pugilist and Chet's supposed affair with charming Lctty Lvthe (Bobbie Kern) almost made a wreck of Chester. “Our Sheik Shields (Wilbur I.undav) proved himself very gallant and helped to tangle matters which led to the famous light in the dark. Kleanor Wreske. as Sadie Bloom made matters for Chester much worse and the fixer. Mr. Lilja, was able to escape the wrath of his better half by making Chester the goat. “Miss Krickson was the (juite eflicient maid and I lelcne Burn-son and Kvelyn Jamieson added to the zest of the play by their seeming interest in Mr. Binney. “Numerous patrons were heart! to say that the play itself, for complication of plot and cleverness in dialogue was one of the best ever seen here, and that the actors were excellently fitted to the parts. One tense situation followed another with mirth increasing according to Binney’s growing perplexity and danger, and the increasing demands on Simmons' ability as a fixer. The intended surprise at the end of the l ight in the Dark was a complete success. The play stands out brilliantly as one of the major hits of the year in point of local entertainment and the quality of the performance reflects great credit on actors and director. nil. CAST Axel W.

Axel l.ilja and Arnold Sanshurn have played in all three of its Carnival performances: Albert Nelson and Raymond Bassett have been in two. The management of the 1924 Carnival asked Mr. McMahon to direct a blood and thunder melodrama whereupon he decided to furnish a home-brewed production, calling it “The Court of the Carnival King. Dave l.arin. Bill Burnson, Axel l.ilja, I ’red Jones. Arnold Sanshurn and Rudy Swenson were the actors in the dramatic masquerade. All the productions of the Dram Soc arc characterized by the melodramatic actions of rough lighting men and the civilizing charms of a lovely heroine. In '24 the lovely heroine was I-red Jones as Princes C olumbine. In I 925 the “Soc was revived with Messrs. Masica and McMahon furnishing the playlet, a Western melodrama called “The Big Blue Diamond. This time a real lady, Ksthcr Jacobsen, was the heroine.

All day the campus and the class rooms resembled the typical jungles rather than the usual respectable scenes. A big wiener roast was held on the campus at 6:20. Alter the repast Coach Bute and his proficient proteges staged an appreciated performance. Just as everyone thought the affair had come to a close, mellow strains of music could be heard emanating from the gymnasium. A big dance was on loot. Needless to say everyone danced until— Prizes were offered to the man wearing the longest beard, and to the best costumed male and female hobo. SPRINT.’ FORMAL The biggest ami most elaborate party ol the year was the Spring Formal held on Thursday. May 26th. As guests the students invited the faculty anil seniors of the Wahpeton and Breckenridge I ligb Schools. _ Porter Jung’s Shubert F.ntcrtainers furnished the music for the dance. This, indeed, was a big feature ol the party. Lunch was served which was another added feature. With this party closed the social events ot the school year, and a lilting close it was—the kind you remember. I Idl % -V-T- Ul ' 5 •; r, - Ilic;il POINTS IN 1926-27 ACTIVITY Pile outstanding events of the year were, as usual, the Carnival and the Senior Class Play. Pile Carnival this year added several new features to its main lloor attractions hut its most notable accomplishment was an unusually brilliant performance of the Follies. Stage effects were more elaborate than ever and it was generally agreed that the various acts surpassed all previous performances. This is saying a great deal as the Follies have been, each year, the leading Carnival attraction. Accoriling to many critics who have seen practically all Science School plays, the performance this year is the best of all. On account of the prevalence of such favorable criticism, the Agawasie would give first prize for the most successful performance of the year to the Class Play. That is it would, if it had any money to spare, which it won't after its bills have come in. New departures in club activity are the formation ol language clubs, the revival of the oratorical club, and the official organization of the informal and desperate I'.ta Pita Pi Dram Soc. Worthy of particular note also is the increasing interest in boxing, wrestling. and other athletic exhibitions. Phis is part ol a general movement toward participation in various athletic games and contests on the part of all members of the school. The Agawasie is being published before Commencement and therefore can not include Class Week activities, including the baccalaureate exercise, class picnics. Class Day, Alumni Day. and Graduation I'.xercises. As this year’s registration surpassed all records it is expected that Class Week will be the best ever. Committees have been appointed to arrange activities. I lelene Hurnson is to he valedictorian, F.dna Frisk salutatorian. United States Senator Gerald P. Nye will give the commencement address. 70 Athletics football foreword C7f)) H' September came around again and school opened. Sc twenty-live men turned out for football. Of the thirteen lettermen on the 1925 championship team only four returned. Among those missing was Captain-elect Walter Kidem. Out of this group of twenty-live men. some of them recruits. Coach Bute turned out a team which was a credit to opr school and one of the most feared teams in the conference. The season was attended with more than usual injuries. Johnson broke his collar hone the very lirst game and was out the rest of the season. At Kllcndale Strubel could not take part in the game because of a still neck. I inden. a promising end. was kept from playing because of a broken nose, and Bassett suffered injuries in the Jamestown game. I'he Wildcats lived up to their name when it came to lighting. At Jamestown, with the game lost, they kept on tackling and blocking with as much tenacity as they ever did. They refusal to be beaten. A spectator at the Jamestown game remarked near the end ol the Iray. “ Those Science School boys are the most aggressive players I have seen for some time. IS tfcu. '’G)l)e 1926 football Season SCIKNCK 0—VALLKY CITY On October 2nd, less than two weeks after school started, the Wildcats met the Valley City Vikings on the latter’s field in the opening game of the 1926 season. Since the Vikings had held the Agricultural College to a 20 to 0 score the previous Saturday the Wildcats were decidedly doped to lose. But Science lights, and this Valley City found out to their sorrow and amazement, for the Wildcats rose to great heights that memorable afternoon and played the Vikings to a scoreless tie. In this game Science had the advantage in yards gained, and it was conceded by fans that they outplayed their opponents. With the ball on Science’s ten-yard line Valley City had eight downs to make ten yards and failed. This was not luck, it was football. Brockmier. formerly of St Cloud, bore the brunt of the Valley offence. I lis specialty was end runs, and when he got started it was next to impossible to keep him from gaining ground. I or the Wildcats, Bassett and Weed hit the big alley line for several gains, and Johnson with his natural speed and acquired side step was a continual menace on end runs. Near the end of the first half Johnson left the game with a broken collar bone which kept him out for the rest of the season and noticeably weakened the team. Near the end of the game a hidden ball play very nearly gave Science a touchdown and the game. But the safety, the only man between Wib I.unday and victory, brought him down and saved the day for Valley. T his game instilled confidence in the team, a quality which they had hitherto lacked. SCIKNCK 7—KLLKNDAIJ : 0 Minus the services of Struhcl, hard-hitting fullback who was suffering from a sti ff neck, the Wildcats took Kllcndalc into camp with a 7 to 0 score in the second game of the season. I he game was played at Kllcndalc. There the football field is laid out on a hill so that any previous mountain climbing ability would be an asset. Besides that a frost the night before had made the ground slippery, and for that reason our backs did not do as much damage as they might 74 have. I lowcvcr, a win's a win and it's the victory itself, more than the margin of victory that counts. During most of the game Science had the hall in Kllendale’s territory. Science got the hall on the kickoff and took it hack to Kllendale’s 30-yard line on line bucks and end runs, hut were here forced to punt when the Kllendale line held. From there the hall see-sawed to and fro in the middle of the field with neither team being able to do much. Soon after the beginning of the second quarter Bassett heaved a pretty pass to Achtcr for a 20 yard gain. On the next play Weed went across lor a touchdown on a perfectly executed crisscross play. Incidentally this criss-cross trick play was used successfully on every team the Wildcats met this year. The game ended on the Kllendale 20 yard line with the Wildcats in possession of the ball. Kllendale’s line worked well, hut their offense was weak and the Science line had little trouble in stopping them time and again for losses. SCIKNCK 28—MAYVILLK 0 Last year Mavville was our hoo-doo as far as sports went. They took our athletic team into camp in baseball, basketball and tennis and in football there was no competition between the Comets and Wildcats. This fall Mavville came down with a bunch of well-trained huskies who were seeking and expecting victory. But with the eyes of the community day crowd upon them the lighting Scientists repelled the invaders by a score of 28 to U. This game was played on a new field, at the fair ground and this fact probably cost the Wildcats another touchdown or two. I’he field was marred with holes and several times the men ran into them and fumbled the ball. Mayville hail a heavy line which functioned well but their backlield was weak and was not at all consistent. Once or twice they broke away for gains or passes but at no time was the red and black goal in danger. Science used a great variety of plays on the Comets with a good deal ol success. I'lie criss-cross which Science had used to advantage in the Kllendale game again contributed six points to our score. I’he feature of the game was a long run by I I ill for a touchdown after lie had intercepted a Mav-ville pass near the middle ol the held. 'I'he Science team, in this game worked well as a unit and 75 nJ) A.-, ajmwrfflccia showed more team play and coordination than they had in the games previous to this. Coach Bute inserted ten substitutes at various positions during the game, hut the team’s effectiveness was not perceptibly impaired. The passing combinations of Bassett to Brady and Bassett to I lill were the main ground gainers for Science while it was Christopherson's terrilic line plunging which gave Mayville most of their yardage. The game was interesting to watch from the sidelines because of the many thrills which came as a result of the high wind, uneven field one fateful Friday in October and when they departed Science was reposing on the small end of a 20 to 0 count. Moorhead was playing way above their heads and were unbeatable that day. For the lirst half the smaller Wildcats stemmed that Fed title, but in the end it rolled down the field for three touchdowns. It was a heart-rending game to watch. Moorhead’s teamwork was almost perfect, and their interference was exceptionally good. hen a Moorhead man started around end it seemed as if the Wildcats were mowed down with a scythe. The only thing that saved Science from utter rout was bulldog tenacity, lighting spirit and Bassett's punting. Moorhead’s fumbles cost them a few touchdowns, no doubt, for it seemed that whenever they got possession of the ball it was impossible to stop them. Science’s small line could not hold the heavier Feds long enough to give our interference time to form and most of the time the Wildcat hackfield men were getting nailed for losses. Moorhead had a versatile attack which was led by Bylcr, the diminutive Fed quarter-back. They had end runs, line plunges and forward passes perfectly timed and they were well executed. Nem .ck, the Fed coach, afterwards said that his team played a hundred per cent better than they ever had before, or did after that. I le also said that the game at Wahpeton took something out of the team which could not again be instilled into them, for they went down to defeat at the hands of Valley City, whom we tied, by a 12 to 0 score. Let it be said, however, that the Science team did not play as good a game as they were capable of doing. The Wildcats played good football, but Moorhead played better. After all it was a case of the best team winning. ground and trick plays. SCIFNCF 0—MOOR I IFAD 20 The crimson tide of Moorhead descended upon the Science AW gji 'ft ';:Lt !' ,i This victory, by a top-heavy score, augured well lor a prosperous campaign of revenge against our northern neighbors. Well, revenge is sweet. SCIKNCK 0—JAMI-STOWN 13 Jamestown celebrated their first Homecoming Day with a 13 to 0 victory over Science. There was no championship pending on the outcome of the game but Jamestown and Science have been fairly active rivals for the past twenty years and so far the number ol wins and losses for both schools are pretty even. The game at Jamestown was hard fought from start to finish and the Jamestown goal was threatened several times during the game but the Jimmies had a couple of four leaf clover stems decorating their manly brows and the Wildcats did not score. The greater part of the game was played in mid-field with no apparent advantage on either side. Jamestown had a hard hitting fullback named Raugust who was just as good on the defense. Jamestown made their first touchdown after a series of passes brought the ball down to the Science three yard line. The hard part about this to take was the fact that the passes would have been wild if a Wildcat had not leaped into the air and in endeavoring to knock it down, batted it into a Jimmies hand. At one time a touchdown seemed inevitable when Bassett sneaked around end on a criss-cross play for 60 yards before being tripped hv a Jamestown man who failed to tackle him but halted him long enough so that another Jimmie did. I .unday played a wonderful game at tackle besides catching several long passes. Raugust made Jamestown's second touchdown near the end ol the game when he returned a punt fifty-five yards for a touchdown. I le was enabled to do this by almost perfect interference which took every Wildcat out of the play. At Jamestown as usual the little Science team had to contend with not men. but mountains, as one of the players expressed it. I.very team that Science met this year has had a line that outweighed ours by from twenty to thirty pounds and this in itself is enough to decide most any football game. This was Science's last conference game of the season but if it had not been for old lady luck who had Jamestown under her w ing, the Jimmies joyous homecoming would have been turned into a wake. rracr 77 SCIENCE 12—PARK REGION 6 In the last game l the season, which was played on the Science field in the early part of November. Park Region fell victims to the Wildcats by a twelve to six verdict. Science outplayed the fighting Norskes from Fergus throughout the game and their only touchdown came as the result of a Science fumble and was not a result of their teamwork. The field was slippery and the fast Science back field did not get going at anytime during the game. After a number of gains and penalties had made the game look like shuttle cock, Bassett heaved a pass to Achter for a long gain. Then Weed went around end for Wildcats’ first touchdown. After he had taken the ball down the field on a series of end runs and passes Bassett went through the Parkies’ line for our second touchdown. The score was then I 2 to 0 in favor of Science. Soon after the beginning of the second half Science fumbled. Gordcr recovered and ran 15 yards for Park Region's only touchdown. Coach Bute used numerous substitutes in this game hut Park Region could not gain against the second stringers any better than they did when the first team was in action. Seeing that defeat was inevitable Gordcr, Parkie fullback, heaved passes right and left during the closing minutes of play but without any appreciable success. Park Region’s team was about equal to ours in weight and fighting spirit but their teamwork was not as machine-like as that of the Wildcats. Gordcr played a wonderful game at full back and was the mainstay of the Lutheran attack and defense. I le was a constant menace and although taken out of the game three times on account of injuries showed his lighting spirit by coming back in and leading his team on. The Science line worked with clocklike precision and Bassett. Weed. Achter, and Strubcl played a nice game in the backficld. 'Phis game closed the 1926 season in a manner which was altogether fitting and proper. The season on the whole was a success as the Wildcats won three, tied one, and lost two which gives them a .600 average. The 1926 season while not as successful as that of 1925 was certainly not a failure. Any team that wins over half of its games is a credit to a school and the 1926 season was just a foundation for that which is coming. Most of the letter-men from this year will be back to help the Wildcats take another conference football championship in 1927. 78 3U- ----- HUULTTf ■ -acoiZ---------WiF3 Vil ' ■ 81 c OACII BUTK’S work at Science during the three years lie has been here stamps him as one of the best coaches in the conference. In 1925 he gave Science a football championship team and this year he turned out an almost perfect basketball machine which won the Interstate Conference title. Considering the fact that Science has only a few men for a coach to work with. Coach Bute's feat in ijivinj our school two pennants is even more remarkable. The enrollment at Science undergoes an almost total shift from year to year and each year the coach must build an almost entirely new team. Despite these drawbacks Coach Bute lias made the Science teams the most feared in the conference. Coach Bute is a leader, not driver of men. lie incites them to do better by bis own peppy actions. On the foothall lield or the baseball diamond he not only tells the men how to do a thing hut shows them how it should be done. Karl Bute is a man who lias made good and it is to him that Science owes her athletic triumphs of the past three vears. l I k 1- AL—H- —ca z.x- 79 - -.a •• j -ft ;J -_ ft I Wll.lil K 1.1 NOW.

Needless to say his departure will leave a big gap in the hacklicld of next year's eleven. fi I i Knout Act iter Kddic was given a position as tackle on the second all conference eleven.

Kddic is also one of the captain-elects for the 1927 season. itptHirJuiiur Ai.bi-rt N m.son Albert's work at guard was extraordinary considering the tact that he is not very big and that lie was holding down a guard position. No man could get by Albert. He thought that the bigger they are the harder they tall, and what's more they did fall. Albert's long line came i' pretty handy and it was a sight worth going miles to watch Albert shove some big bruiser on his nose and then tackle the hackiicld man behind the line of scrimmage. John Brady “Silent John played end in a manner that was beyond reproach. Rarely if ever saying a word, his actions did all the talking necessary, for John was a deadly tackier and asscs seemed to adhere to his fingers like llies to flypaper. Johnny’s smile was ever ready and its effect on the mental state of the team was just as pronounced as his work at tackling and pass-catching and added to the team's general effectiveness. James Haggerty Montana Jim hails from (lien-dive. out where the west begins and snakes are rattlesnakes. Jimmy alternated at i|wartcr back with Nellie , lake the rest of the team Jimmy didn't weigh much so he took lots of punishment. At Jamestown they were hitting him. two men at a time, and although he went down with a sickening thud he got back on his feet with a grin and came back for more.

Against Mavvillc Ward intercepted a .Mayville pass and made a brilliant sixty yard run for a touchdown. Ilesides doing the spectacular in some of the games. Ward played a steady game all the time and showed :• lighting spirit that was unconquerable.

We can tiuthfiilly say that Syk was the best center in the conference, lie played live conference games without making a had pass and the many bad passes which the renters opposing him made were due to his agressiveorss.

Marvin Stri;bi:i. 'ruby started the season at guard but after Johnson w as injured in the Valiev City game he was pulled to the fullback position where he scintillated the remainder of the season. Strubel was the hardest hitting back in the conference. Oftentimes the interference was not as good as it could have been but Tuby” went through nevertheless. .Marvin’s motto was. If there’s not a hole—I’ll make one. Besides being the hardest hitting guy in the bunch Tuby also had the honor of being a wisecracker. Indeed some of his bright rejoinders were even published in Ye Hell Box. Lambert Hltpi.er Hup was a fast end. a good tackier and a heady player. His speed canto in handy when going Jown under punts and when Lambert came down the field there was little chance of the receiver returning the ball for any appreciable gain. Science had three ends this year— all of which were about on a par. It seemed as if each one stood out in some line and excelled the other two. Brady nabbed high and low passes. Hill was a deadly tackier and I!tippler was the fastest of the three. Am.an Weed Alexandria sends their football men to Science and they come through. Weed was one of them. Allan was the kind ot a player that doesn’t pull the writeups but who does a big share ot the work. Weed scored the most points of any man on the team.

The Bobkittens football team is commonly known as the second team. They are usually the newer men who have not had previous football experience but wish to gain a knowledge of the game. The Bobkittens boot ball team is equal to most of the high school teams in this part of the country. The men learn fast and get a good deal of actual scrimmage work against the first team. Naturally the work is kind of rough on the beginners but the way the boys bang to it is surprising and after one or two years on the Bobkittens team these men are ready to take places alongside the regulars. The second team also furnishes the lirst team substitutes. As a team is only as strong as its reserves, a good second team helps to make a strong lirst team. But the Bobkittens get their reward, after the season is over, when they all receive invitations to the football banquet. I he second team works ban! and takes a lot of hard knocks but seems to thrive nevertheless. More power to them. , 1 ifii.

Starting the season with a nucleus of four lettermen. Captain Bassett. Brady, Morris ami Ltinday to huilil around. Coach Bute assembled and perfected one ol the smoothest passing basketball teams in North Dakota,, which is saving quite a bit. There was quite a bit of available material to work with but at Christmas vacation our basketball hopes received a jar when Jay Crooks and Orrin Smith left school. These two men were making things interesting for the rest ol the candidates and il Crooks had stayed in school he would have made the team without a doubt. The past season our team suffered but two setbacks in the the conference, one by two points and one by one point, both on foreign lloors. But in contrast to this our Wildcats won ten games and in all except one ol these there was a very decisive margin in our favor. The alley City team, who share the champion- 87 R—=P- wiC.it—i Tillius; ship with us. defeated Science by two points on their lloor in a terrific early season battle in which Science held the lead a greater share of the game. Science and the Vikings were as evenly matched as two teams could he. Although we only defeated them by one point on our floor they were given a good drubbing at Mayville. Incidentally our team took Mayville into camp in their gym with an eight point margin. Jamestown, the other conference team which beat us found it possible to do so only by forgetting they were playing basketball and substituting a game which closely resembled football. This game was an overtime affair and the Triple S men in the end went down to what could be termed, “glorious defeat.” if there is such a thing. This defeat made our 22 to 12 victory over Jamestown a week or two later, feel all the better and it was sweet revenge to trim them in a clean fast game where brute force didn't count much. In 1922 the Science basketball team won the I. C. C championship, winning eight and losing two. 1 lowcver neither of the two games lost were by very close scores so it appears that a team, at the present has to have a good deal more light to win a championship than it did in the days gone by. Valley City was defeated by the University of North Dakota on the Vikings lloor by a 20 to 26 count. The N. I)’s. were runners-up on the N. C. I. which is one of the strongest basketball loops in the United States. This is good proof that the class of basketball the fans in this part of the country are seeing is about as good as any they can find without traveling a long distance. Coach Bute has shown versatility in coaching by producing football ami basketball championship teams in successive years. Hobe {Basketball Season sciknct: 18—MOOR 111 ! A I) 17 On January 8, the Science Wildcats gave the fans an inkling of what was to come by turning hack the Moorhead Beds on the Moorhead High School lloor IS to 17. Although Moorhead spurted away to a small lead in the opening periods the spirited aggressiveness of the Scientists resulted in a victory for the Wildcats. Moorhead was doped to have a strong team and this win over them gave our men added confidence in themselves. Captain Bassett did not go along with the team on this trip and his absence 88 —fr-r'r� rrTn fc: Tnm ami: ixnnni. TT —mrrQ.pjH|{ r. _ :fl. cliil not tend to add to the Wildcats team work. I lowcvcr, it was the first I'amc of the season and we consider that the team did remarkably well in taking this hard fought contest from our northern rivals. SCIKNCK 27—VAI.KKY CITY 29 The Valley City Vikings, not content with the football championship. set out to win the basketball title also. With a veteran team to work with and lots of new material to pick from, early reports indicated that the Vikings had a wonderful quint. When the Scientists tangled with them on their floor January 12. they gave Valley all the light they wanted and a little to spare. Opening the game with a fast passing attack, it seemed during the early part of the game, that the Scientists were going to come out on top but Johnson and Achter hail to be taken out because of injuries and before kiddie got back into the game the teachers had the lead and did not relinquish it. The final score was S. S. S. 27 and V. C. T. 29. SCIKNCK 24—MAYVIU.K 16 January . saw the Wildcats at Mavvillc. Here they outplayed Kaiser's Comets long enough to obtain a 24 to 16 decision in a hard battle. Any team that can beat Mayville on their own floor by an 8 point margin can consider themselves pretty good. Mayville bail five men back from last years aggregation which was runner-up to Valley City for the title. I he ildcats played good ball and the Comets evidently didn't feel their oats that night or the result would have undoubtedly been closer. Mayville s small gym handicaps her own team as well as visitors as is evidenced by the fact that the Mayville team plays better basketball away from home than they do at home. I lowcvcr. with the new gym which is to be built this summer no team can give a poor gym as an alibi for not beating Mayville on their own floor, as some teams did this year. SCIKNCK 14—A. C. KKOSII 19 The Wildcats concluded their three day northern invasion by playing the A. C. Kreshmen in an even battle which resulted in a final score of Krosh. 19 and S. S. S. 14. Playing a large part of the game without liassett's services ami showing the effects of their other two games on the previous nights, the Wildcats allowed their opponents to pile up a 9 point lead during the first half. In the second half the Triple S men showed some of their usual stuff and outscored the Freshmen by 4 points. I lowcver. the Frosh hail accumulated a big enough lead to weather them over this stormy second half anil therefore emerged from the fray, victors. Although from one point of view the trip was unsuccessful in that we lost two games and won only one. it revealed the true strength of the Wildcats and made them the most feared team in the loop. SCIHNCK 24—VALLKY CITY 23 The alley City Vikings lighting gamely, hut in vain, had the wind taken out of their sails when the Scientists heat them 24 to 23 in the most exciting game seen on the Science lloor during the past two seasons. As the Vikings and Wildcats were the best teams in the loop, the conference championship can be said to have been determined on that night in January when Schmitt's field goal with ten seconds to play, gave Science a one point lead and the game. The game started with a hang and the lead alternated throughout. At one time Science had a four point lead hut were unable to hold it. Valley City showed good team work and had little trouble in making baskets from almost any angle hut the Wildcats also had an “on night and kept ahead of the Vikings most ol the game. Valley City had a one point lead with 60 seconds to play hut in endeavoring to score again they lost possession of the hall and it took only a few seconds for the Scientists to work it down the lloor and score. 'Flic Vikings and Wildcats were about as evenly matched teams as could he found. Kach team in this game scored ten field goals hut Science made four free throws to Valley’s three and therein lay our margin of victory. SCIKNCT. 30—MAYVIU.K 20 The Mavville Comets suffered their second set-hack at the Wildcats’ hands by taking the short end ol a 30 to 20 score in a game played on our lloor, January 26. Science took the lead after the first whistle and maintained it throughout by playing sound, consistent basketball coupled with good shooting. Mavville threatened at all times hut at no time could they amass sufficient points to take the lead away from the Scientists. The Comets had several 90 good shots on their team hut the Science guards kept them far enough away so that most of their efforts were from long range. Occasionally the Olsen brothers and Kaiser would bring the ball down the floor with a series of short, fast passes but lirady and Lund ay played head-up basketball and repeatedly took the ball away from them or blocked their shots so that they did not count heavily. Science played a waiting game but when they broke, the Wildcats went down the floor like an avalanche, overwhelming the Mayville guards and pouring shots at the basket. The game was fast and clean throughout and marked the third defeat Mayville teams have met at the Wildcats' hands this school year. SCIKNCK 30—PARK RKGION 25 When Science went to Park Region they thought that all there was to do was to play them and that victory would be a matter of course. They were led to believe this because of the fact that Mayville drubbed them 52 to 19 at Fergus Falls the night after the Wildcats had defeated the Comets by a decisive score. However Park Region showed a lot of fight, which coupled with sensational shooting from any place on the floor very nearly upset the ild-cats championship hope. When the Wildcats went out on the floor nearly everyone thought that the only thing doubtful about the game was the number of points the Scientists would pile up. Park Region, led by Gorden, displayed a peculiar attack which was nevertheless, hard to stop. The guards would pass the ball up to the middle of the floor where the center and the forwards would bombard the basket from long range. I o the effectiveness ot these long shots Park Region owes nearly all of her points. The Wildcats settled down to work in a cool-headed manner, broke past and scored frequently. The Scientists made most of their chances good, and this coupled with close guarding gave them the game 30 to 25. SCIKNCK 52—PARK R KG ION 19 l lte Science Wildcats had a nice little basketball game all their own when they trampled Park Region into the dust on our floor February 22. After the opening minutes of play, when the Lutherans showed signs of light, the outcome ot the contest was never in doubt. Science had scored four times from the field and once from the free throw line before Park Region entered the tally m 91 column with ;i lice throw. Then, throwing caution to the winds, the iIdeats opened up with the fastest passing game they have exhibited on the home lloor this season. The Parkics tried in vain to stop the inevitable and the lirst half closed with Science holding a 29 point lead. In the second half the Scientists held hack a little more, but at that, out-scored the visitors. Park Region's long shot attack went by the boards early in the game when the Wildcats began to play the nian-to-man defense which the Lutherans found to he almost impenetrable. After the second half was well under way the Wildcats loosened up on their defense and allowed the Parkics a few shots, most of which they made. I he 1 riple S hasketeers had an “on night and the lesson they taught Park Region is one which will not be quickly forgotten. We have to give the Parkics credit for being game lighters and good losers but the one thing we can’t see is how they ever held our triumphant cats down to such a scant win at I’ergus I'alls. About the only way it seems that it can be explained is that the Scientists were too over-confident and therefore didn’t show their usual stuff. $ §-r SC IK NCK 33—KLLKNDALK 2d That night after the heart-breaking game at Jamestown Science encountered Lllendale on their home lloor and defeated the southern normal team 33 to 20. In a hectic battle in which both teams showed a good eye for the basket the Scientist’s superior lloor work turned the tide of battle in their favor. Lllendale had three good men who were a constant menace to the Triple S guards but Brady and Lunday were steady and held I laas. Ackert. and Callan down to a reasonable score. On the other hand the Lllendale guards were no match for Bassett and Achter and between them they piled up enough points to give the Wildcats another leg on the championship race. Considering the fact that Lllendale is about the same size as Science and that Lllendale has a good team for that sized school it appears logical that Bute has developed and extraordinarily good machine at our institution. Lllendale and Park Region are the only schools in the conference anywhere near our size and the difference between their teams and ours must he due to the difference in coaching. 0 ■TtfCit-i nimnr mui'-TS Tb I v SCIENCE 40—ELLENDALE 26 In a return game on the Science floor less than a week after the lirst battle the Scientists turned hack the Kllcndalc invaders 40 to 26. Again both teams counted heavily and the shooting of both teams was unusually good. Whenever Kllcndale got over half way down the floor they would let fly in the general direction of the loop and the percentage of long shots they made was uncanny. The Kllcndalc defense was a sieve-like affair and the Wildcat forwards slipped through time and again for short shots which kept the total steadily mounting skyward. Schmitt, diminutive forward, played a fast game together with Bassett and Achter. letting them do most of the shooting but occasionally slipping one through on his own account. Achter let! the scoring with seven Held goals and was followed by Bassett with four. Schmitt with three. Bradv and Johnson with a pair each and Lunday who made two free throws. For Kllcndalc Maas, with nine points. Ackert. with eight and Callan, with four, led the scoring and piled up the majority of the Normalites points. This makes the third consecutive defeat that the Science teams have administered to Kllcndalc this vear. 1 Hr SCIKNCK 29—MOORHEAD IS Ncmzek’s Beds journeyed hither to avenge the defeat inflicted on them at Moorhead hut the gods willed otherwise and they went home scalpless. Opening the game with a fast passing attack Moorhead counted a held. Science then scored twice to take the lead, they were never headed again during the game although at times the Peds were dangerously close. Nem .ek’s charges presented a smooth attack in which the guards played a big part hut their shooting was exceptionally erratic and they missed shot after shot which they should have made. The lirst half ended with Science leading 15 to S. In the second hall both teams came hack strong hut Bute's men had added four points to their advantage during the second twenty minutes ol play and when the final gun went off the Wildcats had a 29 to IS lead. Achter led in the scoring with Schmitt and Bassett pushing him close for second honors. Bradv and Lunday played a tight defensive game besides starting the Science offense. Burton. Cox and Ciowcnlock were high point men for Moorhead. Moorhead's play lacked finish hut showed a great deal of n 1..U. 95 potential power. When they broke down the lloor they came last but these rushes were usually fruitless, due to the close guarding n the part of the Wildcats and to the inaccuracy of the I rds in tossing baskets. Nem .ek has plenty of material for a championship team in the outfit he brought down here and they will doubt less be one ol the big obstacles in the path of the 1928 championship team. SCIi:NCI! 27—JAMKSTOWN 28 Jamestown College fans received one of the biggest treats and also one ol the biggest scares they have had for quite a while, when the Wildcats and Jimmies clashed on the Jamestown lloor February Jamestown, with the aid of lady luck took our football team into camp and finally to take our basketball team down a notch they reverted to football. In the opening periods the Wildcats clawed the Jimmies unmercifully shooting passes through them, around them and over them to pile up a 1 5 to 5 count at the half. Realizing that they could not play us on even terms at basketball and aided by an incapable official who evidently puts favor above sportsmanship, the Jimmies used some of their old football formations to tie the score at the end of the game. Rut the Triple S men were game and kept playing basketball. The fact that the Scientists did not play Jamestown with their own style ol game is worthy of note and is a credit to the team. Science is not the first nor the last team that has objected to the officiating of games on the Jamestown floor and in order to get games with conference teams Jamestown College will either have to hire more capable referees or discard their football instincts before coming on the basketball court. In the five minutes overtime period the Jimmies gained a one point advantage to win a game which is no credit to a sportsmanlike school. SC1KNCK 22—JAMKSTOWN 12 Science defeated Jamestown on the Science lloor l ebruarv I I by a score of 22 to 12. This victory gave them a tie with alley City for the conference lead and was one ol the deciding games in the championship race. F.ricson's rangy team from along the James river jumped off to an early lead which they maintained throughout the first half. Hicy played brilliant basketball and would have counted heavily had not the Wildcat defense been functioning smoothly. They were big, fast and clever. heir 94 ft long passes went sailing about the gym from one long Jimmy to another, but that's about all the good it did them. They knew how to work the ball up to the basket but they didn’t seem to understand that the fundamental object of the game is to “put the ball through the basket so most of their efforts went for naught. The first half ended with Jamestown ahead 8 to 7. In the second half the Wildcats displayed their usual form and took the lead away from the Jimmies after the first minute of play. Taking advantage of every chance they bad the Wildcats made every shot count and soon hail the game on ice. A large share of the credit for the game should go to Lunday. stellar guard, who besides playing a wonderful game at his guard position, dropped through four licld goals. This very nearly constituted the Scientist's margin of victory. SCIENCE 24—A. C. IROSH 16 The A. C. ITeshmcn came down from Fargo to battle with the Wildcats on the Science lloor and needless to say they did. The final score 24 to 16 indicates to a fair degree the torridness of the contest. The Frosh exhibited a good clean brand of fast basketball but they lacked the polish of a well finished team. I he individual work of the Bisons was sensational but they weakened before the steady Wildcat attack which never falters and the Scientists hung another scalp to their belts and kept the home record clean. During the 1927 season no Wildcat supporter saw the Science team go down to defeat as the three defeats sustained by the Wildcats were administered to them on foreign floors. Johnny Smith, former Fargo 1 ligh School star, was the A. C's. best man with I lays. Bison center, aiding considerably in piling up their tally. The Wildcats ended their season with no one man starring but the steady resourceful play that has characterized them all season was very much in evidence. Anil so the season closed as it began—with victory for the Red and Black. ib 95 SCONCE SCIENC| C.M’TAI N-lil.KCT ACII H.K Achtcr was the Wildcat's loading scorer. During rile past season lie scored ninety-eight points in conference play and committed but seven personal fowls. He played a bang-up game as pivot man and tile centers who could out jump Kddie were few and far between. Because of his clever floor work and deadly shooting. any all-conference team without him, would he, in our estimation a total failure. HJim r v_ Captain Bassett Rav ended his third year on the Science haskethall team by leading them to the conference championship. alternating at forward :yul guard. Basset was one of the most heady and consistent players in the conference. The Valley City Teachers Budget gave him a forward position on their selection of an all confer rencc team.

Koi:kitti-:n s bobkittkns The Bobkittens basketball team was not given much publicity this year because of tile fact that the first team took the greater share of the limelight. The Bobkittens worked hard every night, giv ing the first team a little opposition and a good deal of practice. Occasionally they played some high school team and although they lost oftener than they won. the team played a wonderful Moor game. I lie main trouble with the second team was their inability, to hit the loop when they had the chance, l ime after time they would work the hall down the lloor. through their opponents defense only to miss a comparatively easy shot. I he men were last, and shifty but their shooting eyes were usually oil. The Park Region game showed what the kittens could do when they got loose and the game against the Doran Independents was added proof that they were dangerous when they got the range of the basket. araEunmiEzzz nni- = — llfiCpii £V3 The Players Maurice Aird “Pink played a good game at forward both on the offense and defense and was one of tlu- best sliots on tin- team.

Although they only played three games they won two of these. The two forwards, Alta and Marion Beeson were a lot better shots than most men are and they were always able to count heavily against any opposition that they encountered. Besides being good shots, both of them are exceptional dribblers and fast on their feet. The two centers, Irene kimi and Klcanor Wrcske, took the ball on the tip-olf and advanced it to the forwards. Ike' always managed to get the tip-oil and Klcanor was always ready to take and advance it. The guards were hardworking and conscientious and no team was able to penetrate the Maltese defense with any degree of consistency. Pauline Cox and Loretta Dietz made life miserable for the forwards that they guarded and the low scores that opponents of the Maltese ran up are tributes to the effective guarding of this duo. The Kinn twins and Loretta Simmer, substitutes, were always ready to step in and the team work was just as smooth when they filled in as it was before. I he Maltese deserve all the praise that Science can bestow. 102 M iJv A ' .IJT The Players Mariax Hijson Marian was a good team mate for Alta ami between them they usually managed to pile up a big enough score to hri 11-4 victory for thcii team. Irkxe Kixx Ike played center again this year and distinguished herself by her accurate passing and classy dribbling. I .KOI.A KtXX l.eola was the third Kinn sister to play on the Maltese team. She played alternately at running center and forward and she filled either position in a faultless manner. Vioi.a Kixx Viola played running center or guard at various times and showed a good deal f promise for nevt year. She was a fast, tireless worker and her snappy work helped pep up the teams play. I.ori-.tta Simmer Loretta played substitute guard but got in action a few times and thus had a chance to strul her stuff. She worked in well with the general team play and did an effective job of guarding. Ai.ta Beesox Captain Alta was a dead shot and a fast forward. This was her second year on the Maltese team and although she was an exceptionally good shot last year, she was even better this year. r.I.KAXOR WrESKE Kleanor was another llreckenridge girl who made good. She played running center in a faultless manner and was also able to play at forward position when ever called upon to do so. I .or etta Diet Loretta played the other guard in a w hirl wind fashion, stopping her opponents time and again when they appeared to be certain of scoring. Some teams have weak points but this year's Maltese team had none. The forwards shot baskets with uncanny accuracy, the centers advanced the ball steadily and surely, and the guards presented an impenetrable defense to their opponents. I’ai'i.ixk Cox Pauline’s work at guard was one of the outstanding features of this year's games. When at Wahpcton High she played forward, but Science had too many forwards, so she was shifted back to guard. The capable manner in which she played her guard position justified Bute's action in changing her from a forward to guard. Pauline was a fast, hardworking guard and her work, with that of the rest of the team, helped to stamp the 1927 Maltese team as one of the 10 27 28 65 best girls' sextettes in ' Sortli Dakota.

Ti.au BASKBALI —1027 LORKWORI) When spring practice opened up the prospects for a winning team were exceptionally good. The pitching staff of last year was nearly intact as l,ilja, Sanhorn and Wick were all hack I mm last year. The two catchers had left school hut four new ones were ready to take up the duties of the man behind the hat. l inden. Kckcs. Caylor and Kelly had all caught before and in early workouts showed up well. Williams, lirst baseman, M. Nelson, second baseman. Bassett, shortstop, and Albert Nelson, center fielder were all back from last year. Besides this Aird. substitute outfielder. Sykora. from Breckenridge. K. Brady. J. Brady, I loisven, Crum, Weed. Wettstein and Latimer all looked pretty good. The regular lineup for the games is something like this: Catcher, Linden: Pitcher. Sanborn—I ilja; Lirst base, Williams: Second base. M. Nelson: Third base, I .ilja: Short slop, Bassett: Left field. Sykora: Center field. A. Nelson: Bight field, Aird. Kckcs can fill in behind the bat leaving l inden free to cover third when Sanborn pitches. Rsrhe {Batteries Lii.ja and I’indp.n Axel and Cass make a smooth working battery which any Science opponent will do well to watch. Lilja works well in the how has good control, plenty of stuff when he wants to use it and pitches a good steady game.

'Flu’s battery will uudnuhtedh wreck havoc with a good many hatting averages during the 1927 season. Sanborn and Fckes will he called upon to do a good deal of work during the coining season.

Sanborn pitched air-tight ball and let the Retlmcn down with three hits, while his team mates collected ten off White and Hunt. This year’s team appears to he stronger defensively and weaker offensively than last year’s nine. Considering it was the first game and was played on a new diamond the lack of errors was surprising and if Science can keep playing the defensive game they did against the Indians, at the same time increasing their hitting strength they will he a formidable foe for any conference rival. WAI I PI-TON HIGH SCHOOL 4—sell .NCI-: 7 In a second practice game Science again triumphed, this time-over the high school team with a three point lead. This game was played the same day as the Indian game and although the errors were more numerous, still the teams played good baseball. Wick worked hard but was slightly wild and did not get the support he should have received. Needham, high school liurler, threw a pretty game and during a large share of the game had Science hatters well in hand. His support weakened at times, which enabled the Wildcats to eke out a win. BRJ-CKI-NKIDGL INDLPKNDKNTS I—SCIKNCT! I I Science kept up her fast pace by defeating the Breckenridge Independents at Island Park Sunday May I. by a 14 to 1 score. Science played bang-up ball throughout and numerous substitutions failed to stop her winning stride. Scoring in the first inning Science had things their own way from then on and each inning added to the Science total. Lilja pitched a good brand of ball and had the Breck men at his mercy throughout the contest. McMullen started in the box for the Independents but was relieved in the fourth inning by Acbter. Neither one of these pitchers were very consistent and they failed to stop the hard hitting Scientists to any appreciable extent. But for a wild throw in the second inning. Science would have had a shut out to her credit. I he whole Science team batted and fieided well this game, with himlcn’s hitting standing out as one of the high lights of the game. - - v 106 n f- 3. ruBALf Ff 1 i vallky citv 15—scikxck 9 In a game played on a muddy field in a gentle shower of rain. Science succumbed to the Viking ball tossers with the count of 15 to 9 against them. Valley City seemed to attract the ball to them in some mysterious way and then nab it while their Science opponents could not get near the ball and when they did they didn't know what to do with it. Sncton, alley City pitcher, worked well hut the ildcats had little trouble in touching him for hits. It was brilliant lidding that kept him on the mound when otherwise he would have gone to the showers, a sadder but wiser man. The Wildcats nicked him for eleven safeties, while the Vikings were getting but nine off of I.ilja. Besides that he walked seven men but that could be excused on account of the wet field and consequently wet ball. Valley City made the most of the twelve Science errors to run up their score while they made only seven fumbles to aid the Wildcat cause. m bf J i U f 1K MAVVILIJ-: 11—SCIMNCK The Mayville Comets (formerly Mudhcns) appeared on the Science field to avenge their defeats in basketball and football and they succeeded somewhat. Mayville scored an earned run the first inning and in the third, they scored three more on Science misplays. Sanborn kept their hits fairly scattered and the Wildcats played good ball considering that the game was played on a wet field in a drizzle of rain. No one scored again until the eighth inning when Science started hitting tar enough to collect three runs. With the score four to three Mayville came in to bat and then the fun (for Mayville) began. Several hits coupled with a general hlow-up on the part of the Scientists gave Mayville seven scores during that one fateful inning. Science came in and tried to score but to no avail, and the Comets went back victorious. Well it was three times and out for them this year as their two previous invasions resulted in routs for them. Science lacked hitting strength but no one knows what the Wildcats are capable of doing as both conference games were played on rainy, windy days which were not conducive to good baseball. Well, time will tell. JAMliSTOWN SCII-.NCI-: 2 On May 12. the Wildcats lelt lor Jamestown. Might men arrived at Jamestown College in time for the game while Coach Yi M 107 Bute, Bassett, the two Nelsons ami Aird were marooned somewhere in Minnesota. Coach Kricson of Jamestown lent our team a center fielder and the game was under way. Both teams playeil good ball behind superb pitching. Schneider, Jamestown mounds-man, allowed but one hit but errors behind him permitted the Wildcats to count twice. Sanborn. Science hurler. allowed but two hits and received sensational support at times but Jamestown pushed three runs across the plate during those hectic seven innings. A big wind made playing uncertain but both teams worked hard and in most innings the sides were retired in order. Jamestown made all of their scores in the fourth inning but hits failed to come when they would have meant runs. Considering the fact that the Wildcats had only live regulars on the Held it can be easily seen that the team would have luul a better chance of winning it the other four men were there. It was a good game anyway and the Wildcat substitutes did their work in a capable manner showing that they could play good ball when called upon in a pinch. Good substitutes are half a team. The final score was 3 to 2 in favor of Jamestown. VALLKY CITY 6—SCIKNCK 5 On Friday, May 13, the black cat crossed our path again and the Wildcats dropped another game this time to the Valley City Vikings. The team which promised so much in early practice games seems destined to a season of hard luck. I',very game so far has been played in a windstorm or a rainstorm and sometimes in both. At Valley City a high wind made llv catching a hard job and otherwise hindered general team play. This game was played at ten o'clock in the morning and some of the hoys were pretty sleepy so that excuses them somewhat for the errors of omission and commission that they made. 'Fhe game started well with Valley City scoring one run in the lirst inning. In the third the Wildcats came hack and knocked the Viking twirlcr out of the box and scored three runs. In the fifth and sixth innings the Wildcats counted again bringing their total up to five. But in the fifth inning the V ikings got lucky and the Science infield went to pieces for a few minutes and allowed the teachers to push across several counters. When the battle was over the Wahpcton Wildcats were reposing on the short end of a (, to 5 score. Lilja and I’inden worked well for Science. Axel allowed few hits and deserved to win but the fates decreed otherwise and we did not. “A had beginning presages a good ending’— well, we hope so. JAMKSTOWN 13—SCIIiNCE 3 Lady Luck still frowned on the Science hall tossers when they met Jamestown College on their own field Thursday, May 19th. This was the fifth straight defeat that Science had to undergo. Fortunately some of the games have been close and hard earned, but this last game with Jamestown was ragged all through. 'Lhe inclement weather which attended all previous games abated long enough to make it fairly good baseball weather. Lilja started on the mound, and despite the numerous errors against him managed to hold the opponents, allowing but three or four scattered hits. W hen he was relieved by Bassett in the fifth fray he had six strikeouts to his credit. Bassett took the mound for the rest of the game ami should he complimented for hurling pretty ball. Schneider, opposing pitcher, hurled a good game ami deserved to win by even a narrower margin, but errors were numerous on their side too. J’rrors at inopportune times coupled with the inability to hit when runs were possible has been the cause of every defeat this year. The game with Jamestown was the last conference game. Coach Bute’s proteges will have one more chance to redeem themselves when they play the All American girls’ team on Saturday. May 28th. Although the team lost more games than they won. the season can still be called a success because every man on the team learned a great deal about baseball and that is the primary aim of the game at any college. w 109 {Baseball i9i6 ALPHA GAMMA RHO 13—SCIKKCK 9 In a hard fought game, near the end of April the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity team from the North Dakota A. C. defeated the Science baseball team by a score of 13 to 9. It was the first game of the season for the Wildcats, as was evidenced to by numerous errors which gave the frat men most of their runs. Lilja and Sanborn. Science hurlers, pitched good ball allowing hut twelve-scattered hits and striking out ten batters. Toussant of the A. C. was touched for ten safe blows but exceptional support on the part of his team mates kept the Scientists from overcoming the Gamma Rho’s lead. I he A. C. men took the lead from the start, scoring three runs during the first inning, and were never headed. Science lacked hitting power but on the whole the team looked pretty good. The A. C. team were campus league champs at their school last year and arc considered one of the big contenders for this year’s championship. Toussant and Lilja. opposing moundsmen each hit home runs. MAY VILLI-' (y—SCIKNCK 11 On April .30. the Mayville Mudhens arose from their slough and Hew down to Wahpeton where they stayed long enough to hand the Wildcats a neat 16 to I I beating. Mayville luul one of the hardest hitting teams that has appeared on the Science for sometime and the Wildcats helped them add to their total with numerous errors and misplavs. Lilja started the game and worked well until the fifth inning allowing only one run. I le was relieved by Sanborn and in this frame the big blowout came. Mayville started hitting and Science started fumbling and before the third man had been set down eleven Mayville men had crossed the plate. Science went to work with a will to recover these scores and partially did. Bassett went in and pitched the last four innings and allowed Mayville but four runs but the damage had already been done and Mayville had the game safely stowed away. Kvenson and Bassett each drove out homers and both teams had little trouble in clouting the apple. The fielding of both teams could have easily been improved upon. The ability of the Wildcats to hit bodes good lor the future. ft fn:; ,rtr.-r-----: VALLKV CITY II—SCIKNCE 17 Valley City fell before the ferocious Wildcats in a one-sided battle by a score oi 17 to II. Scoring fourteen runs the first four innings and at the same time holding the Vikings scoreless, Science piled up a lead and romped home to victory. Lilja started on the mound for Science and allowed but two hits during the first five innings. I le was succeeded by Sanborn in the fifth. Sanborn was a little wild but kept Science in the lead by pitching good ball in the pinches. alley City took advantage of the Scientist’s overconfidence. in their sale enough lead, to count eleven times during the remainder of the game. The Viking mouiulsmen all had a turn at serving up the pellet but none had any perceptible success. During the first four innings it was a double Big Parade. The Wildcats paraded around the sacks and the Viking twirlers paraded from the bench to the mound and then to the showers. The Wild, cats displayed even greater hitting strength than that shown in the Mayville game and everyone sure strutted his stuff at the plate. All that Science needs to make the team of championship calibre is better lidding. Let us hope they acquire that habit in the future. MAYVILLK 10—SCII.XCr. 7 With a crippled team. Science played Mayville on their diamond and went down lighting with a 10 to 7 count against them. The Mayville umpire was either a second Jesse James or didn’t know his oats. On a forecout at second he called the man safe because Nell didn't touch him. Science was minus both regular pitchers. Lilja sprained his ankle and Sanborn injured his side in a collision a day or two before. I bis together with the fact that Williams, regular first sacker was missing, gave Mayville quite an advantage, (ioing into the sixth inning, four runs behind, the Scientists came to life and counted four times to tie the count. But Mayville was not to be denied and when their turn came they added three to their side of the ledger and Science failed to count in the seventh and last inning. Bassett pitched a nice game of ball and received fairly good support. Mayville got the breaks and the weakened Wildcat aggregation could not simply cut the luck. This was Science's fourth consecutive defeat at the hands of the Mudhcns. Let them beware for revenge comcth soon and fast and even now is impending. Ill v_: r.-r xwb . MOORIIFAD 8—SCII'.NCT. 7 - In the last and closest game on the Science licit! Moorhead, deadly rivals of the Red and Black, won an 8 to 7 decision over the fighting cats. Science started in and collected their seven runs in the first four innings while Moorhead worked patiently upward until in their half of the sixth they topped the Wildcats and kept their one point lead until it was all over. It was a disappointing game from the view point of the Wildcat fans. Numerous errors by Science men gave the game to Moorhead. For Science Sanborn and Bassett labored long and well on the mound but their efforts were made null and void by their team mates misplays. Science showed good scoring power and they were aided considerably by Ncmzck. Fed twirlcr's wildness. I le walked nine men and hit three but Science did not hit at these opportune times when every hit would have meant a run. This made Science's third defeat on the home field. It was especially hard to swallow in as much as Moorhead was the victor. VALLFY CITY 2—SCIFNCK 5 Science went to Valley City late in May, near the bottom of the conference ladder and destined, it seemed, to go to even yet lower depths. But in the Viking stronghold they came to life with a sudden spurt that made up for all their past mistakes. Flaying air-tight ball behind Sanborn's sensational hurling, the Wildcats gave the Valley City team a big surprise and a neat trimming. After Sanborn effectively silenced Valley City's heavy artillery his team mates went in and gathered live runs to add their share to the victory. The final score was 5 to 2. The Viking hackers had a chance to see the Science team play as it really could play and that was one thing that Science fans were denied. It seemed as if the Wildcats had to get away from home to really play the baseball that they were capable of playing. Many sensational plays made this game interesting to the onlookers. Among these was a fas , double play, Sanborn to Bute to Williams, and the play when I.ilja threw a man out at the plate from right field. moori if:ai) 3—sciknct: 7 On the second day of the Valley City trio which ended so successfully, the Wildcats crossed bats with the Moorhead Feds on their diamond and defeated them 7 to 3.

Moorhead on the other hand played good ball also, but did not make their chances count for what they should have. Kahl caught several men trying to steal bags when they should have held their bases. Lilja started out for the Scientists hut gave way to Krvin Larson. Larson was a hit wild but was always master in the pinches and the hits that Moorhead received were few and far between. His backing was sensational at times and was always steady. Larson had lots of smoke and plenty of curve and the only tiling that had kept him from playing in other games was control. That sunny day in May he got his chance and made good. (This was Larson's last chance to play for Science as he died about two months later from pneumonia).

'■SCHWl u ITT 113 SjVCinor Sports Besides indulging in baseball, basketball, track, and tennis. Science students have a hankering alter golf, kittcnball, boxing and wrestling. The school has a six hole golf course on the grounds and has a man employed to look alter the greens ami see that they are sprinkled and rolled. Numerous students have taken up the game and there are several ardent golf bugs around school who claim that the ancient Caledonian sport is the greatest game there is. The girls seem to like kittcnball pretty well and a four team league has been formal and a schedule is being played out. I his is done in an orderly and regular manner under the supervision of Coach Bute. The four teams entered are—Wahpcton (iirls, Breckcnridge girls, dormitory girls and out of town girls. During the winter term a good deal of interest was shown in boxing and wrestling ami in March a boxing show was held in the gym. The main bout was between 1 lerb Lilja ol Bismarck and Andy Anderson of Largo. This was six rounds. I he other bouts were Crum vs Latimer. Sansburn vs W ick. Wilde vs Westphal. A wrestling match between Red Williams of Cavalier and Lrick-son of Crosby was also staged. I he bouts were well attended by local men and students and they were all distinctly satisfied with the showing that the various men made. I hese indoor sports are going to be more and more popular as the number of trade students increase and may sometime rank well along up with the four major sports in the Science athletic lirmament. TRACK Track is a new sport at Science and until last year not much was ever done along the line of track work. Last spring Coach Bute hehl an indoor track meet to get a line on available material lor a track team. The meet showed up some promising material but spirit in this work seemed to be lacking. Science took a few men to Valley City for the conference tilt but did not place. This spring things picked up better. Johnson, a new man, showed an aptness for track work and together with several other men trained regularly. A dual meet was held with I lankinson high school on April 29. This meet was won by Science 66 to 41. A girls' track meet was also held in the spring. Several girls showed unusual ability but as there is no conference meet for women, this meet ended their competition for the spring. 114 r When the conference meet is held this year at Moorhead Science will be represented by at least two men and perhaps more. Johnson, dash man. Weed, distance runner, and Sykora. weightman will undoubtedly be entered and it seems almost certain these men will corner some points for our school. Science Outpoints I Iankinson School Athletes of the State School of Science scored a total of 66 points in the track meet with I Iankinson 1 ligli School athletes in Wahpeton Saturday. 1 Iankinson scored 41.

In order to make the physical education class more interesting Coach Bute divided the girls into two distinct kittcnball teams and made out a schedule of games for them. Some of the girls have had previous experience along this line and are showing 115 I rj : •B ' J?? r. £k% in good form in the games which they have played so far. The Beeson sisters and Eleanor Wrcskc played formerly with the North Side girls' team of Brocken ridge. The girls were divided into four teams which seemed to he evenly matched. The personnel of the teams is: First team : Louise Schmitt, captain. Lucille Ambrosich, Clara Bernard. Helene Burnson, Pauline Cox. Irene Kinn, Leola Kinn. Viola Kinn, and Opal Luick. Second team: Emily Wciland, captain. Avis Pennington, Anne Gauklcr, Barbara Gauklcr, Mary Ciaukler, (icneva Jones, I lilda Koeppe, Valeria Richcls, and Mabel Wick. Third team: Pearl Kngum, captain, Alma Gustafson, Edna Frisk, Margaret Jones, Ellen Xovlcskc, Laura Schultz, Gudlaug Week. Clara Quam, and Olive Pederson. Fourth team: Marian Beeson, captain, Alta Beeson, Evelyn Jameison. Angela Morris, Lucyllc Williams, I Iazcl Rassier, Loyola Wolfe, Gertrude I luppclcr, and Georgia Reckcrt. As a feature of the hobo day. May 20, the girls will play the boys in a game of kitten bn II. The boys will have to bat and throw left handed. This handicap should make the game pretty even, and it would not be much of a surprise if the girls did turn the tables on the boys and give them a neat lacing. Feeling is running high now between the girls and boys. 'File boys arc confident of winning and the girls have dug up the hatchet and arc waiting for the big chance to come. We don’t know who will win but it will be a real battle nevertheless. So on the eve of the contest we say to the rival teams, “go out, do your best ami may the best team We are now waiting to see what we shall sec. win. HOCKEY Another sport which created a good deal of interest among the dormitory men during the winter term, was hockey. Wah-peton has a natural skating rink which is open most of the winter. Brcckcnridge maintains two municipal rinks—one on the North side and one on the South side. Therefore there was lots of ice to skate on in the Little Twin Cities during the winter months. Not content with these rinks, the dormitory boys, under the supervision of Professors Cavanaugh and McMillan erected a rink of their own on the football field. Phis required a good deal of labor but the boys responded well when called to work and the snow just seemed to melt away. In three hours a space of about mu. ■ — jjgCTfl n ft. 116 Tlfcn nmi. irnii1 ryrrr ’.'-g i one hundred fifty feet by one hundred, was cleared of snow. The next lay it was Hooded and the hoys took to the ice as soon as the water froze. I lockey games were played and in these games many of the hoys showed a good deal of speed and chisivcncss in handling the puck. It is doubtful if hockey will ever come to he played much at Science because the cost of erecting and maintaining a rink is too great to he warranted by the spirit which has been shown so far. But if skating becomes more popular among the students, than it has been in the past, perhaps next year a rink could be built. TliNNIS In the early part of May 1926, a concrete tennis court was built on the school campus with funds from the Penny Carnival. Prior to this Science had no tennis courts in late years and tennis, as a sport, did not exist. I lowcver. some of the men who had played tennis before tried out for the tennis team which represented Science at the track and tennis meet at Valley City. Ray Bassett and Cyrus Kalil with Charles Nelson as alternate made up the 1926 team. In the singles at Valley City Ray Bassett won a set from Sage of Jamestown, who later won the championship, but then lost. An inter-school tournament was held in the spring. Phis year the tennis court is always crowded and tennis lias come to be the most popular sport in school. The one tennis court we now have is entirely inadequate to take care of all the students who wish to play and an agreement has been made with s? ft. IKa k .- the Wahpeton Tennis Club for the use of their courts. Several men have shown exceptional ability considering the time they have played the game, and in Ray Bassett Science has a good bet for the singles championship. An inter-school tennis tournament will probably be held in the latter part of May with competition open to both students and faculty. Tennis is one sport where men and women can play together, in other sports, such as basketball or baseball, the girls cannot compete on an even basis with the boys but in tennis the girls get a chance to assert and prove their ability. Perhaps they don’t take tennis to heart but they get a great deal of enjoyment out ol it. One of the common sights seen on the tennis court is that of a girl running up to the net, striking ferociously at the ball and Next year we will undoubtedly be forced to erect another tennis court—either clay or concrete. The high upkeep ot clay fcCEJLi - ,n ” etc. 117 courts makes concrete courts the most economical in the long run. So a new field of athletic endeavor is being opened up to Science students whereby they too. as many who have already done before, can engrave their names on the Science roll of fame. And in the not too distant future perhaps a brilliant young Wildcat may bring fame and fortune to both himself and the school by winning laurels on the tennis courts. And so the school progresses. TEN NIS TC) L' R N A . 11•!NT In connection with the track and field meet at Moorhead, Saturday May 21, a tennis tournament will also be held. In this meet the singles championship and the doubles championship of the Interstate Collegiate Conference, will be definitely settled. Last year Jamestown won the tournament with Sage carrying off the singles title. Sage has left Jamestown so competition will he keen among the new seekers after the coveted title. To get a line on the budding young Science hopefuls a tournament is being held during the 18, 19 and 20 of May. The school championship will go to the winner and he will undoubtedly represent Science at the Moorhead tournament. 'The rest of the team will he picked from the other contenders who show good enough form to he active contenders The tournament is being played on the Science court now. I he entries were paired as follows for the first round: hirst: Ray Bassett and Frank Sykora; second: Wilbur I.unday and Ralph Weller—Weller; third: Lambert I luppeler and Donald Aird—Aird; fourth: Kenneth Kckes, bye. In the first round Kenneth Kckes drew a bye and was automatically advanced into the second round. Ralph Weller defeated Wilbur I .unday and advanced into the second round. Donald Aird heat Lambert I luppeler and will play Kckes in the second round. Ray Bassett and Frank Sykora are to play Friday to sec which one advances, with the dope in favor of Bassett. A school tournament for the girls will be held May 22, 24 and 25 to determine the woman singles champion. All of the entries are not in hut the most likely aspirants are Pauline Cox, Margaret Thomas, Veronica O’Brien, I laz.el Rassier, Klcanor Wrcskc Mcrvinc Fisher, Agnes Alzheimer, (irate Flynn, Gertrude llupp; clcr, Alta Beeson, Marian Beeson, Opal Luick, Helene Burnson. � .imzjirTCen - me. rwin!, ami Laura Schultz. The girls have not played much tennis hut have shown considerable form by occassionally heating the boys. 'They play a steady game and are hard to beat. By next year Science will have some girl stars who will equal any in this part ol the country. They play and practice all the time and arc continually improving their game. The tournament will doubtless be a close one and the outcome is extremely doubtful. And still the tennis spirit continues to grow. -ft M AX1 1 isuiTg- 119 pH Ucw-’ ’KenWnfcreiifte ScnnxjaaJE.1- Jo® — Doran 1 | .S- - ij J. 7TVj As wv wvrv ss .r. - HvkKWiv Trio and— 121 trades trades foreword U 7=7“- m- I u yr. ikisi—- I U State School of Science is essentially a trades school, and CJy as a trades school it attracts many trades students. This year more than ever before, trades students filled an important niche in school life with its accompanying activities. During the live months of the winter term when the trades shops were seething caldrons of activity, when Bricklayers threw mud and our emhrcyo Radio Operators threw “waves.” when Printers wiped presses and Plumbers wiped joints, when Auto Mechanics tinkered and Electricians chased the elusive current back ami forth through myriad wires, when Burch Hall buzzed with the shop talk of tradesmen assembled in groups in every fellows room. Then many of the incidents took place that served to make those live months the high point of the entire school year. The Science Basketball team won the conference basketball championship in 1927 and when the lighting Wildcats trotted out onto the playing lloor, two of the live positions were filled by tradesmen. I.ouis Schmitt and Art Nelson are two of the reasons for the winning ol the championship. Another indirect but potent reason for the winning of that championship was the line school spirit and the organized yelling displayed at the games on the home lloor. When the game was close ami the Wildcats needed just a little vocal inspiration, then Earl Klinkhammer and his cohorts of the Tradesmen Veil ream, would cut in with some lusty vocalizing that struck terror into the hearts of the opposition. In all school athletics the trades department students played a big part. Each department was represented in the intra mural basketball tournament in the fall, the commercial section having an especially strong team that met the college freshmen in the tourney finals. From a social standpoint too. the live months when the trades were at their height, was the period when the various school parties and entertainments were at their best. hen the dance was on and the lloor was crowded with the exponents of the ter-pisclmrcan art. who among that throng stood supreme? Who but Ed NI ell in, that dancer par excellence, as decided at the annual “Who's Who Contest . Tis rumored that Ed acquired his dancing technique by climbing up and down telephone poles in the course of his electrical training. Although students of the Trade departments played an important part in all athletic and social phases of school life, probably the most important part of the school experiences took place in the various class rooms where they were engaged in learning the intricasics of the trade of their choice. To the aims and accomplishments of the several departments of trade then, we are going to devote this section. PRINTING On Friday afternoon when the Small Pica makes its appearance in the halls of Science to be snatched from the library shelves and eagerly scanned by the student, little thought is given to the process of “getting out” our official school weekly. Vet. if the student who possessed an investigative mind were to turn his steps to the print shops in the basement, where the clatter of the linotypes mingled with the rhythmic throb of the cylinder press, he would, no doubt, be intensely interested for the print shop possesses a fascination of its own. And the publication of the Pica, is not all that is accomplished in the print shop, by the printers. Pile annual school catalogue, the Agawasie and all of the mass of blanks and printed forms that are required in the operation of the school are turned out as part of the practical training required by the student of the art of the printed word.” Although the printers were limited in point of numbers there was no limit to the amount of departmental spirit. As a result of this we have the Printer's Club as a shining example. With a total membership of twelve, the printers succeeded in being one of the most active of school organizations. Frequent parties during the course of the year attested to the fact that from a standpoint of social activities the printers were distinctly all there. With the completion of the new building, which will,he erected by next fall, the printing course will have shop room for the expansion that the increasing growth of the department demands. It is not at all improbable that in the course of the next few years the printing department will be the outstanding trades department at the S. S. S., as the demand for experienced printers is steadily growing larger and a course in printing, as taught under the competent direction of Mr. Sattcrlee is the most effective solution of the problem of supplying well trained printers to the printing industry. 126 BRICKLAYING Rome wasn't built in a year. True enough, hut we have a sneaking suspicion that it some of our Science School students of Bricklaying had been on the job it might have been done. Speed was all that was needed and the S. S. S. bricklayers possessed that in abundance. For a course that is comparatively new. the bricklaying course as taught in the shops of Science has been amazingly successful. Both from the standpoint of the number of students that have showed an interest and the work that has been accomplished. Progress is one of the inevitable results of civilization and as long as the spirit of progress remains in the world, the bricklayer will be essential to world development. In the past, several years of tedious, underpaid, apprenticeship was the lot of the man who undertook to learn the bricklaying trade. Recently conditions have changed. It is now possible to take a course in bricklaying at Science that is the practical equivalent of several years of actual experience and, at the end of that time, to go out on a job in the capacity of a competent and finished bricklayer with a greatly increased earning capacity as a result of that course. Although the bricklaying course only extended over a period of five months, the bricklayers as a whole took an active part in school activities. Particularly along the athletic line. Willis Anderson of Finley, North Dakota, participated in the main event of the Boxing Tournament and Alvin Wilde of Grand Forks, another Bricklayer also took part in the leather pushing festvities. I lardly a night passed without the gym being occupied by a group of cement mixers who put in their evenings in boxing, wrestling, or basketball. According to present plans a number of bricklaying students will be used in the construction of the new trades building this summer. I his will not only give the graduate bricklayers an opportunity to further their experience, but will provide them with employment in their chosen line. PLIMBING Tver since the public baths of Rome sprang into existence, plumbing has been an essentially important factor in the development of civilization. When one considers that the sanitary safety of the world 1 a u 1H m i-j mitm. J3 depends on the exponents of the plumbing art he will realize why the plumbing department tills such an important part in the “trades scheme at Science. With North Dakota embarking on an extensive development and building program there is ample assurance that the plumbing students of Science will have an opportunity to wield blow torches and wrenches in the campaign that involves the building of a “(ircatcr North Dakota. In addition to learning the fundamentals of plumbing and acquiring experience in the practical phases of the work such as joint wiping, pipe cutting and calking and installing fixtures, they are taught to observe the one basic and all-important principle of the plumbing trade—not to forget to take their tools when called on a rush job. RADIO Science added a new course to the trades curriculm this year by introducing a radio department. In that department, under the direction of Mr. Alger those vandals of sleep and burners of the midnight oil. the radio students, practiced their fell art. There, for the well-being of humanity, they reduced static to a minimum, eliminated batteries, tinkered with air waves and broadcasted the merits of their department long, loudly and well in the hallways of Burch I I a 11. And the merits of the radio department are cheerfully admitted. Radio, practically a new field of human endeavor, and undergoing tremendous growth and development, is offering many lucrative opportunities to trained operators and radio experts. One of the high-lights of radio department was the invention and perfecting of a battery eliminator by Mr. Alger and the students of his department. When radio, in the years to come, reaches the peak of development, we expect to find the names l the members of the S. S. S. radio class of 1927 prominently associated with its progress. :: £ he CO.M.MKRCIAL The Commercial course, by virtue of its wide range of subjects offered, attracts many students to the school each year. Advantageously situated on the second floor of the Main 128 -r y ir. A1 Ih building, the commercial students come into more direct contact with the different phases of school life and possibly play a more active part in various school activities than do the students of the other trades departments. This year two of the outstanding school parties of the year were sponsored by the Commerce Club, an organization composed exclusively of students taking commercial subjects, anil one of the few really active organizations. Two of the championship Wildcat Basketeers. namely Nibs ’ Morris and I ,d Achtcr, captain elect, hail from the commercial department. In the annual inter-departmental basketball tournament the “tired business men” presented a strong lineup that was barely nosed out in the finals by the veteran college outfit, in all other branches of athletics the commercial department was well represented by men who upheld the honor of old Science. With Mr. Masica at the head of the Commerce department a hi y assisted by Miss Madden and Miss Walton, one of the strongest business courses in this section of the country is to be had at Science. Kmbracing a wide range of subjects, it is the aim of the Business School to turn out finished and competent office men and women in any line of commercial endeavor that is treated upon at the school. That the school has accomplished this aim is evidenced by the large number of graduates from this department that are satisfactorily filling positions in the business world. 1 wo subjects have been added to the commercial curriculum this year, with the introduction of Salesmanship and Advertising. COOKING AND SI-WING That time honored comparison, just like mother makes,” will be especially fitting when applied to tile cookery of the devotees of the culinary art at Science, the Domestic Science Girls. And the preparation of appetizing eats isn't all that the 1 louse-hold Art class accomplishes. Under the direction of Miss Donna I'orkncr they study the intricacies of sewing, dressmaking and designing. In a department well equipped with all the essential machines necessary to the sewing art they learn the fundamentals of sewing and. as they become more advanced in the course thev do a considerable amount I vT _ rannr..:-«. . . : Ft Pi fr ui t iilr V- - m of outside work. Many of the girl’s earnings from outside sewing are sufficient to pay their tuition while at Science. When the fashion center of the world moves from Paris westward we expect to find some of our fair Science seamstresses occupying a bright place in the sun of fashionable designing ami. as creators of exclusive modes, bring fame to the halls ol old Science. Ami those weekly Burch I IalI luncheons. hen the aromatic fragrance of the delectable viands served by the cooking class is wafted up to the men’s dorm by wayward breezes and the tinkle of dainty dishes is heard in the second floor parlor, many a plumber, bricklayer and electrician is strongly tempted to change his course and transfer to the cooking department. A I'TO-MKCI I AN ICS The coming of the automobile brought into being a new vocation. Kvcr since the first wheezing, snorting, gas-propelled vehicle frightened the farmer’s horse for the first time, there has been an ever increasing demand for men who arc technically equipped to administer to the mechanical mannerisms of the “struggle buggies” of the open road. And. since one of the triple S's stands for service, the automechanics department at Science has been actively engaged filling that demand and trying to keep the automotive world hitting on all six. fJ In these days of intense competitive pressure in the motor industry, the man who knows just a little hit more about the technical side of his job than his competitor is the man who is going to make a success of that work. To give their students that additional knowledge is the aim and the accomplishment of the auto-mechanics branch of the trades system at Science. Linder the solicitious direction and guidance of Mr. I lemmer and Mr. Ness our Automotive Kng-inccrs of the future did their stuff in the shops tinkering with, at. and under the various types of cars that were brought to the shop for their use. There is an unfounded rumor going the rounds that the first time our venerable professor, William Cavanaugh, started to start his car after having it overhauled by the auto-mechanics he added two distinctly new words to his vocabulary. But enough light humor. Who knows but that the St. Vitus Vertical Light -I fefl • 1 % Juf H 130 y {gpg? tejasgs; Up recently devised by Maurice Aird may not be the sensation of the motoring world in another decade. I lore's to our auto-mechanics. More power to them. Jl HLFCTRICAL Currents, live wires, connections, trouble shooting. These and many other expressions, technical or otherwise were scattered to the four winds whenever a bunch of electricians got together and, in all fairness to these embreyo electricians we will have to admit that they knew what they were talking about. Since no one else did there seems to be no room for argument. Shop talk however, isn't quite all that the men of the electrical department learned during the school year of 27. From a standpoint of size of attendance, effectiveness and the many men from the department who have made good in a creditable manner after completing the electrical course as taught at Science the electrical department must be ranked among the foremost of the trades courses. As in all the other trades courses the work was not confined to theory alone but the men took up the work under actual working conditions thereby acquiring the practical experience that is the basis for ultimate success in the electrical field. During the live months of the winter term especially, the practical side of the work was stressed in order to provide a sound and reasonably complete course of the inside and outside wiring, armature winding, motor repair work and many of the essential features of the electricia 1 game. In addition to being one of the hardest working departments, the electricians were also classed as among the most active of the trades group. The electrical club, with an enrollment second exciting meetings during the year. Fats, electrical talks and athletic contests generally featured these meetings and. to use the conventional phrase, a good time was had by all. The electrical class of ‘27 gives promise of being, not only the biggest but the best of the classes from that department and we would not be overly surprised to liml some of our erstwhile “trouble shooters tilling important positions in the electrical field before the lapse of many years. — PURPOSE AND ACCOMPUS1IMKNT When Andrew Carnegie was asked whether he considered labor, capital or brains of the most importance in the industrial sphere lie replied, “which is the most important leg of a three legged stool. rite trades department of the S. S. S. is founded and operated upon the assumption of trades equality with the other basic branches of industry. It recognizes that industrial progress, which is the bulwark of civilization, rests upon a combination of labor, capital and brains, and assumes the task of providing, in some degree, skilled labor in the attempt to preserve the industrial balance in North Dakota. Due to the pressure of economic conditions the tradesman of today, must be more highly specialized in his line than the tradesman of former years. We must have a broader general education aside from the strictly technical side of his work and Science endeavors to provide this by offering academic subjects to be taken in conjunction with the trades work. A majority of the fellows in the trades department this year were high school men and took one or more college subjects in connection with their trades work. This year has been, from a trades standpoint, the most successful in the history of the school not only by reason of the size of enrollment but by the results accomplished. Students from all the departments have gone out from school to take positions in their respective fields and to make good in them. In enrollment, activities and results accomplished 1927 was the banner year for trades at Science and, jealous as we are ol the present successes, we look forward to still greater accomplishments in 28.

Horatio was pleased with bis prospective future and was glad and happy for two reasons; first. vM 154 he would see somethin and he a part of city life, and second, he wouldn’t he a victim of the dull monotony of the farm. A week goes hy and Horatio is seemingly enjoying his work although he just can’t feel at home with this crowd of the city’s younger set. They have learned his name and it is the source of ridicule too. A little hlond lady comes into the store quite frequently and one. who is as good r. judge of women as I am. can see that she is impressed hy the handsome features and manly huild of our farm product. One day. when Horatio was alone in the store, she came in. and with the ability of a pretty blond, coquetted with him until she had him telling all about himself: how lonely he was. etc. She sympathized with him and invited him to come and call op her at nine o'clock that evening. Horatio wasn't used to going anywhere hut bed at nine, but she was so pretty, so different, from the rest of those silly girls that he couldn't refrain from accepting the invitation.

Now it happened that Big-Ax and Mucho were in league with the devil. Y'r-ree-sin-ful. and consequently this bad Manitou's anger waxed hot against the two plotters, lie determined his revenge. Sending to the four corners of the world he collected the foulest chemicals known. These gases were so powerful that they would have easily blown off the door of the vault of the Bank of England. Consequently it was several days before even a Manitou could get the gases in a position to strike. Then one dark night he crept into the village, straight to the tepee of blying Cloud and Little-one-by-the-lire he went, opened the tepee flap. hurled something inside and lied. There was a moment of suspense, then the tepee seemed to swell, it rocked and seemed as if to Hunt away. Suddenly from the flap emerged the two v r lr-CrTO- V ' 159 5S disaster stricken braves, mouths gasping, eyes protruding, and noses tightly clenched, 't ca verily, it was terrible, the entire north end of the village was compelled to move.

And as the dark pall was hanging heavily about the dropping shouldeis ot the lad it presented a picture so tragic it would put to shame the painting of .Millet's “btutali ed toilet.” The senior class at a meeting held the other day adopted a peculiar motto. It reads: Not crime, but low aim is failure.” 161 WUn lT -_g3 m £ TEN YEARS HENCE Written after reflecting on Charles Lindbergh's recent trans-Atlantic flight. by Axel W.

It is customary for the class about this time of the year to seek the great outdoors for the purpose of observing some of the things we have been studying. We could spend several days on such observation, but of course ut are only granted one day.

Hnmhirto: I think Salt l.ake City would he a nice place to go. Cavanaugh: “Now those are all good suggestions, hut since we have hut one da we will have to decide on one of these places. How many are in favor of going to the O .arks? Let me count the hands. Three. Well, then, how many want to go to the gulf? Hands again. Live. What was the other suggestion?” Ramhino: Salt Lake City. Cavanaugh: Oh. yes. How many are in favor of going to Salt Lake City? Hands again please. Let’s see. seven, eight. nine, ten. Well. it seems that m«.st of them are in favor of going to Salt Lake City. Now. there is the matter of planes. Can you bring a plane (ionzago?” (ion , a go: 'l es, I think so, but remember ours is only a three-passenger machine.” Cavanaugh: That’ all right, you can take some of the eats too. I suppose. Arc there am other planes available?” Cougar: Yes, I can get ours. Mamhiuo: I know I can get our little plane, hut I’ll try to get the St. Louis Pride, that’s seven passenger.” Cavanaugh: l ine. That will just about fix us out. I'll take my plane, there is room for seven besides myself in that. Act H I wi days later. Planes are in readiness for tin- liiol gy field trip to Salt Lake City.
