« « « Departments Our Christmas party was held in the McCaskill gymnasium on the evening of December 12. A fine program was given. The refreshment committee prepared a fine lunch and the evening ended with dancing. February 20 saw the group again assembled in the evening. Mr. R. O. Ralph, Douglas County Agricultural Agent, gave a very interesting talk on the co-operative movement. A social hour concluded the evening's program. Department members were very busy during the spring months raising money to send delegates to the Youth Movement in Madison. Several movies at local theaters were sponsored, in order to procure funds. Those going to the meeting selected topics to speak on while there. This is now an annual event, and it is hoped that some time we may be able to send our representatives to the National Youth Convention. On May 1, the Rural Life Club of the Duluth State Teachers College entertained the Sigma Rho at a party at the Duluth College. This interschool social gathering was enjoyed immensely. The Rural Department, with one accord, agrees that it very greatly appreciates the kind help and guidance its advisers, Miss Bertha Cams and Miss Celia Carsley, have given it.

Nelson Rural As soon as the excitement of enrolling and settling into the new routine had passed, the Rural Department held its first meeting of the new year. The club, which the department sponsors, is called the Sigma Rho, and the students in the department automatically become members of this club when they enroll, and accordingly, officers elected serve both the club and the department. At the annual fall election, the members chose Earl Lerand, president; Willy Lou Stellrecht, vice-president; Bertha Nelson, secretary, and Joe Bushey, treasurer. Our president was doomed to a short term, for he very soon received a telegram requesting his services in North Dakota. We were sorry to lose him, but wo were happy that he secured a position. Miss Stellrecht filled the unexpired term of Earl until the end of the first semester when Marvin Warbelow became president. The other officers remained the same for the rest of the year. Beginning the social events of the year, we held our first party on October 3. An amateur program was held with Major lone Rosberg as guardian of the gong. The Homecoming, an event which always brings out the ingenuity of the different groups in school, was an important occasion for the Sigma Rhos, v ho, not wanting to be outdone, decided to show what they could do. Being limited in funds, we prevailed upon the city for the use of an ancient fire truck, upon which we expended our decorative ability for our float. Pane Iwenly-fifihl

K indergarten-Primary Informal educational excursions to points of interest at the Head of the Lakes have constituted the principal activity of the Kindergarten-Primary Department this year under the leadership of Miss Caroline Barbour, director of the department. Miss Blanche Barse, and Miss Marjorie Burke of the McCaskill Training School. The purpose of the excursions was to secure first-hand information and experience concerning the industrial and cultural agencies of the community. The project, which was the first of its kind to be attempted at this College, included trips to the Children's Theatre, a lecture given by Amelia Earhart at the Duluth Armory, the Children's Museum, the Weather Bureau Service, the Incline Railway, Jean Listman's Pottery and Antique Shop, and the Lighthouse for the Blind, all of Duluth; an inspection of a coal boat at the Northwestern dock, the plant of the Evening Telegram, studios of Station WEBC, the Great Northern machine shops, the Central Co - operative Wholesale warehouse, and the Telephone Exchange, all of Superior; and a trip to the Forest Reserve at Cloquet, Minnesota. The social activities of the department constituted another important phase of the year's program. Opening the season was the picnic on Minnesota Point at which the new members were initiated into the department. The spirit of friendliness was further brought about by an outing, held later in the fall, at Elizabeth Lemon's cottage at Lake Amni-con. The next social event was the annual Candlelight Supper held in Page thirty
