OFFICERS Margaret Seefeldt President Delores Hokana Vice President Lois Young Secretary-Treasurer O. E. Combellick Alice McClelland Advisers Normalian Junta was organized on the N-I campus in 1934 for the purpose of uniting all students enrolled in the Normal Department into one body for social and professional reasons. All phases of elementary education are considered at meetings of the club. The name itself means council pertaining to Normal matters. Enrolling in the Normal Department automatically makes a student a member of the or- ganization. Students from other departments ol the college may become associate members. Meetings are held every month to discuss topics of professional interest to elementary teachers. In addition, social gatherings of various kinds are held throughout the school year. Major projects of the past year were the club's annual Christmas party and an all-school party sponsored by the club during the spring term. Normalian Junta entered the N-I Rarities, vaudeville show sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., with a skit entitled, And the Lamp Went Cut. Members of the cast were Delores Hokana, Roland Nies, Dorothy Murray. Raymond McDermott, and Alvin Weller. With an increased enrollment in the Normal Department following the war, members and advisers are expecting to resume the monthly programs of games and activities v hich dupli- cate rural situations as nearly as possible. The program was a highlight of the club's activ- ities before the war. Pago 23

COMMERCIAL CLUB In the fall of 1936 the Commercial Department at the State Normal and Industrial College was enlarged to include all subjects and equipment necessary for a complete Business Col- lege course. Shortly after the opening of school that fall, a club was organized under the di- rection of O. A. Banks for the purpose of bringing the students in the department closer togeth- er so that they might carry out certain benefits to themselves and to their profession. According to the constitution adopted by the commercial students in 1936, the member- ship of the Commercial Club should include all those students taking at least two commercial subjects. The constitution provided lor four standing committees: Program, social, member- ship, and publicity. The executive beard was to be composed of the officers of the club and the chairmen of the standing committees. Meetings were to be held bi-monthly. During the war, the shortage of students forced the Commercial Club to disband tempor- arily. This year there were enough students, but so many other extra-curricular organizations were in full sway on the campus that commercial students felt they should wait until next fall to reorganize. Plans for next year include social affairs, contests with other schools, and the publication of a mimeographed department newspaper. Page 22

Com be Hick President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Adviser The Young Men's Christian Association is one of the largest and best-known organiza- tions for men on the N-l campus. During the year, with the return of veterans and new students, the work of the Y. M. C. A. has taken a new look to the future. Of the several projects during the school year, the study of the Old Testament has gained the chief emphasis. This course was pursued by members for twelve weeks, and one scholastic credit was given those who completed the course. Several social functions were held during the year, including the annual “stag party in January, and several joint sessions with the Y. V . C. A. After a lapse of several years, the N-I Rarities were revived by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. amid a good deal of campus in- terest. Robert Anderson acted as master-of-ceremonies. and Arthur Hollan served as general chairman. Funds raised by the annual vaudeville show are used to send delegates to region- al student conferences of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and to church foundations at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, in June. A delegation representing the N-I will attend the Geneva conference this year. The group was represented at the area conference at Jamestown College in October by Stanley Stehlick. Norman Goehner, Gust Kempf, Robert Bell, Arnold Wasson, and Mr. Combellick. The group was also represented at the area planning conference on the campus of the North Dakota Agri- cultural College in April. For the first time in the history of the N-I. the Y. M. C. A. joined other organizations in sup- porting the World Student Service Fund, and led an intensive campus drive during the spring quarter. Page 24
