PRAIRIE SMOKE TO THE CLASS OF 1923 •The stars shine over the earth. The stars shine over the sea : The stars look m to the might) (toil. The stars look down on me. The stars have lived a million years. A million years and a day; Kill find and 1 shall love and live When the stars have passed away. 1 like to ponder on the sublime phase of the eternal aspect of our be- ing. It fills a person with awe to know that our character is formed and our influence exercised for time and eternity. Let us recognize that the worth while things are everlasting. Truth crushed to earth shall rise again. In the end justice will triumph.” Mercy is not strained. Hatred endureth for a time, but love lasts. Cruelty runs its course, but kindness is permanent. There are two really great things in this world—love and service. If you seek happiness, you will attain it through love and service. If your heart is full of love and your hand ready for service you have solved the greatest problem of life. Love and service are the fundamental things in our chistian religion and are the essential elements of greatness. They are the things that make the mother great. They make the teacher great. They will make any one great. Your life and my life have touched for a brief period. You have made me better for this contact and I hope you are better because you have known me. You have your identity and individuality and I have mine. You will be you and I will be I when countless eons have passed away. You and I must be subject to the same immutable laws of the world, and must learn to acquiesce in our common lot. You and I must remember that the home is the best place in the world and that we should make home the most pleasant place in the world. You and I must learn to respect each others tastes and opinions and practice the law of minding our own business. You and I must learn to live together, and must cooperate in solving our common problems of life. You and I must practice the Golden Rule and learn to forgive our enemies as we wish to be forgiven. You and I must care for our bodies and look upon them as being the temples of our souls. You and I should study the wonders and beauty of the world and learn to appreciate them. You and I must learn to recognize the obligations of life, and give al- legiance to our duty. PRAIRIE SMOKE You and I should recognize that teaching is the most honorable occu- pation in which a person can engage and that we should exalt our high calling. You and I must recognize that we are morally responsible beings, and that we must be worthy workers in the sight of God. And now dear friends in the years to come when the members of the Class of 1923 are scattered like the autumn leaves before a mighty wind, you can take up this, our first annual, and turn its pages in pensive mood. May it lead your thoughts back to your golden and happy school days. May it retouch the memory of long forgotten pleasures in times gone by. May it throw upon the screen of your life again the visions of the worth while things you cherished while in school. Across tire years, Befranght with fears. Be lewe l with tears. Vet more abounding in sweet joys, To yon, dear Friends My hand extends, My message send, For Love today my will employs.” 8. T. MAY. -10- PRAIRIE SMOKE HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE SCHOOL. Soon after the Slope country of North Dakota was permanently settled the people began to feel the need for a Normal school in this part of the state. At that time there were three Normal schools in North Dakota, those being at Valley City, Mayville, and Minot. All four were situated well to the north and west of the state in whose services they were erected. The logical location, then, for the fourth Normal was in the western part. The swift development of this part of the state made this section a favored one and the position of Dickinson as a trading center for a large agricultural area and several hamlets, influenced the legis- lature to make this city the seat of the fourth Normal school. The location having been decided upon, the site was selected by the board of Regents, bought by the county of Stark and the city of Dickinson and presented to the State of North Dakota. It consists of sixty-seven acres of choice land and lies just west of the city of Dickinson. On a beautiful rounded butte near the eastern edge of the tract, will stand the main group of buildings. The legislature of 1917 made an appropriation for buildings and main- tenance, but the governor vetoed that portion of the bill which provided for buildings, leaving twenty thousand dollars for maintenance, and school opened the following year. During the season of 1918 a very successful summer session was held, being conducted by Superintendent Peter S. Berg of the Dickinson city Schools. More than one hundred students were enrolled July 18. 1918. The Board of Regents meeting at Fargo, elected Samuel Thomas May of Madison. South Dakota, president of the new school. The Elk's building was rented, a course of study was formulated, necess- ary furniture, apparatus, and supplies were purchased, a faculty of five mem- bers was selected, and school opened October 1, 1918. The school grew rapidly in numbers of students, faculty and equipment, and practice teaching was organized within the city schools of Dickinson. The Normal school is fortunate, indeed, in being granted the privilege of training its teachers in this fine system of schools which is under the efficient management of Peter S. Berg, who is also director of the training school. The school has expanded in various ways to keep up with educational ad- PRAIRIE SMOKE vancement. The number of students enrolled the first year was I 00, for the year 1921-22 the list reached 697. Meanwhile the faculty also has become larger. The number has increased from five in 1918 to thirteen in 1923 and includes among its members, scholars of distinction and culture. The material equipment too, has been increased to keep pace with the increase in numbers of students and faculty. The dormitory for women, Stickney Hall, built in 1921, stands on the west of the building site; it is built of brick, is three stories high, and contains sleeping rooms for fifty women, besides the dining room, living room, music room, and the various other rooms necessary to living conditions. In the second year of the school’s life the legislature made appropriation for $90,000 for buildings. The legislature of 192 3 made additional appro- priation of $60,000 and on Monday, April 16, 1923, at 4:30 P. M., in the presence of a crowd of students and townspeople, the corner stone of the main building was laid with appropriate ceremonies. The building will be of brick, four stories high, have a frontage of 284 feet, face south east, reach 163 feet back, and contain 52 rooms and full basement. The men's dormitory will stand north east from the main building, fac- ing south, and will be a replica of the women's building. The buildings are now in process of construction and will be ready for occupancy January, 1924. All this splendid development has materialized under the guidance of our efficient president, aided by the resident directors. Their untiring zeal, broad sympathy, wisdom, enthusiasm and industry must ever be kept in mind in considering the success of this, The Dickinson Normal School. The admin- istration is not only progressive, urging the school onward toward leadership in the state, but provides to the greatest extent possible, for every refined and cultural influence in and about the school. r-r—=— PRAIRIE SMOKE —----- STATE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION R.

Antony Dakotas. mid other Indian nations ns well. it is a ui:irk «� f Hit wry highest respect In address mi� ns grandmother « r grandfather. It is in accordance with this iflcu that tin l'asqiie Flower is rep- resented jjs spe iking in the eliar- reter of grand pH rent, addressing its human auditors as grandchild. Thus the flower speaks to the peo- ple of the liniti in r.tee as follows: I have been trying always to e:.courage you children of the hu- nt it race in all generations by show- ing you ami telling you that tlte spring is here, and that the buffalo will inere. se. and now your parents will prepare to go on the buffalo hunt so that you shall have plenty of food and good clothing. Now 1 have come out llrst of till the fh wer people so that Dakota children cun pick me up and kiss me aid pi y with me: and little hoys will know that it is time to prac- tice shooting with the arrow. Then, after I have first come, all the other flower people come out dressed in bright colours, showing themselves so charming and so delightful, und they make the earth look so beauti- ful and joyous and smell so frag- rant. And then. too. all the beasts of the forest and of the prairie are putting off their old, shaggy win- and beautiful summer coats ami are growing fat and hearty ami ready to become the necessary flesh food for human beings. The birds also are dropping their «lull winter plumage and are putting on their bright spring plumage, and they begin to tune their voices to sing enchantingly for all the world. And amid all these scenes of returning life and beauty I shall be standing among them old and gray and about to «lio. for my life was largely spent before they came upon the scene. Now. my grandchild, tills is an example for you. to show you that you, too. must become old ami gray. and. dying, shall pass on to the next happy land, where your ancestors have opened the road before you. Von look for them and miss them here be- low. for they have gone: but you shall meet them there above when you yourself shall go there bye and bye. Remember me to all that generation which follows after you. Tell them that you saw me. I shall return again in early springtime, so I shall speak my message to generation after generation, even to 2111 generations.” Photo by Russell Reid, HUmarck ter coats and are putting on their new PRAIRIE SMOKE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION 1 wonder if we realize that the Christian religion can never be put on a par with other religious systems, because it is not a system, but a Person. 1 wonder if we realize that God became man in order to save us and to give us an example of a perfect life. We have our social and economic problems, but if the world would revert to Christianity, and follow our Lord’s precepts, “Do unto others as ye would be done by and, Love thy neighbor as thyself, these problems would soon be solved. But what are we going to do about it? We shall soon be taking our places in the great battle of life, where our lot will be to lead, to guide, to direct. Are we ready for it? Are we really determined to take upon our- selves the enormous responsibility? The future of the nation rests largely with us, as teachers. It is true, the home is all important, and no factor can really supersede the home influence, but we can do a great deal to supplement the good, or supplant the evil effects of some home environ- ments. But if we, ourselves, are not imbued with a pregnant Christian spirit, we shall not succeed in improving the world. We are often too material- istic, we forget that, after all, life in this world is not very long, and that we are here for another purpose than merely enjoy ourselves. America needs to have the best schools in the world. A land of liberty must be a land of Christian virtue, or liberty will be swallowed up in greed and license. Christian generations can be built up only by Christian educa- tion. As far as 1 can see. true Christianity is the only panacea for all our ills. What is the good of all this greed for gold, this restless striving after material goods, earthly pleasures, or honors? Will these things bring us true happiness? Is this the heritage we wish to leave to our children? If we continue along the same lines as at present, our country will become a second decadent Rome. Can we teachers not stem the tide? The schools of today do im art a great deal of useful knowledge, and a certain degree of mental activity is achieved, but this is net education, for education is not a product, but a process in which man's whole being is stirred and set in motion. Education is a vital, not a mechanical process. It is furthered and carried on by persons, not devices. It is an engrafting of a higher kind of life, of the fine qualities of a genuine, cultivated nature upon a lower. It is not drill, but fertilization. The aim is not the acquire- ment of information, but of intellectual power; not knowledge, but a strong luminous self-active mind. Unless we can look into our own minds and find the Eternal Holy Spirit, who is the Creator and Father, of all, we can never build for the soul a home wherein it shall feel itself free and immortal. The pupil must commune with the Almighty One and the world he has made, or he will never known the true meaning of things, nor the surpassing goodness and beauty which await the advancing steps of genuine learners. But the young, if left to themselves, will not become conscious of God’s presence in all that He creates, will never understand the inestimable worth and sacredness of life. If they are to acquire the self-activity which makes self-education possible, they must be helped and guided, they must be brought under the influence of teachers and receive the impulses which en- lightened and generous souls alone can give; hence if a higher kind of man PRAIRIE SMOKE and a purer and more beneficent civilization are to come on earth, the co- operation of teachers is indespensible. Of all vocation followed by man, the most sublime and the most re- sponsible is that of teaching, because while other professions and vocations have for their the welfare of the body, teaching deals primarily with the care of man's body, the development of his mind, and the saving of his wonderful, immortal soul. True, all teachers do not recognize the cultivating of man’s mind and the care of his soul as the chief end of education, but concentrate their atten- tion on the development of his mental and physical being to the utter ex- clusion of everything that would aid him to accomplish the end for which Almighty God created him. This kind of education is one of the crying evils of the day, and it is true, not only of that given in high schools and colleges, but even in the primary grades where the harm done is incalculable. The little ones are taught, we admit, to know and to appreciate the wonders of the universe and the beauties of this world of ours, but they are not taught to know or to love the God who created these marvelous things for their use or happiness. Our influence as teachers is more far-reaching than we have any idea of. One gentle word, one act of kindness, one angry emotion conquered may not, indeed, bear fruit now, but in years to come, who knows what it may do for us and the child? Even though we never see the results in this world, we believe, and we must believe, that our labor will be fruitful, if we but try to keep before us the end for which we are working. We must not, then, become discouraged and impatient over the meager results of our efforts, but keep steadily on, determined to do our duty perseveringly to the end, in spite of difficulties, and leave the results to God. Remember that for all of those children, sorrow is waiting somewhere along the way, and for many ofthem nothing but poverty and suffering. It is our duty, then, not only to prepare them for the greater sorrows of life by teaching them how to bear the disappointments and griefs of child- hood, but, we think, it is a most sacred obligation to make their school-days as happy as possible, because many of their childish hearts have never known, and never will know, any kindness and joy beyond the limits of the school room. Let us, then, very often reanimate our courage by reflecting on the nobility of our profession and the end we had in view in becoming teachers. The work will often be hard and discouraging, but let us press on courage- ously. Heaven is worth it all, and when death comes and the Master calls us Home, the trials of this life will seem as nothing compared to the joy and glory prepared for us up There. S. M. E.

Frequently the question that is uppermost in the minds of students is the question of scholarship. Does it pay while we are in school? Does it pay in after life? Good scholarship does pay. 1. It pays during school-days. 2. It pays in after life. Without doubt every one will admit that while one is in school it pays to be a good student. The good student has many advantages over the poor one. Not only is he looked upon with respect by his fellow students and his teacher, but he has the personal satisfaction of knowing that he is doing his work well and accomplishing the end for which he aims: namely, get'.ing a good education. He is not the master of his lessons merely for the purpose of getting grades, but for the purpose of understanding the technicalities of his work so as to be able to apply them when the occasion arises. This is not so with the poor or indifferent student who does not get his work from day to day, but at times can bluff with success. Again, the good student is at his best when a difficult problem arises; it is easily comprehended by him, therefore he naturally can meet his demands. But why do we go to school? Is it merely to master the subject matter of our text books? The aim of the school is to prepare the student for later life and not merely to furnish amusement for the time being. The same can be said about subject matter of text books; the student does not learn the why and wherefore for immediate applicaticn, but the purpose is far reach- ing; it is to prepare him to meet and conquer the problems of life. Secondly: Good scholarship pays in after life. I do not believe that one can appreciate his education until he has entered into some business enterprise. This is indeed th test of his learning. If while in school he mastered the difficulties as they arose, new he is able to look the situation squarely in the face, call on his perseverer.ee and meet the issue to conquer it fairly. Not only in business is he appreciated but also in society at large. With his knowledge of the laws, regulations, and ethics of life he is able to work for the uplift of mankind. A student that has been shiftless, careless and indifferent starts life very much handicapped and fully unprepared. His foundation has been neg- lected, and we know from the experience of others that no structure, no matter how meager, can stand very long on a poor foundation. But positively the greatest of all satisfaction is that the good student can look back on his school days without regret, knowing full well that while in school he met his obligations squarely and conquered the difficulties as he met them. But not only this can the good student be proud of. but the fact that he has obtained what he set out for, namely, a good education. Education teaches us to do better the worth-while things which w: would do anyway. L.

Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is lit for treasons, strategems and spoils; The motions of Ids spirit are dull as night. I.et no such man lie trusted. —Shakespeare. We can all be musicians to a certain extent. We can cultivate the finer sensitiveness to music which involves more than the love of beautiful sounds. Music is tonal discourse. It has definite form and proportion, and displays national tendencies, historical perspective, characteristics of individual com- posers, and other elements which the trained ear can perceive. These, when understood, increase immeasurably the capacity for enjoyment. With an understanding of the language of music we can go out into the world with mind and heart open to the cultural and ethical significance o': the finer things of life. Piano Department The air is full of musical sounds. We hear strains from Bach's Fugues,” Mozart's Requiem, Schubert’s lovely melodies, and Beethoven's Sonatas. We wonder where we are. The soft and beautiful harmonies make us for- get the stern reality of our purpose in the study hall until we arouse from our dreaming and realize that the sounds are issuing from an adjoining room where Miss Kindley's pupils strive to interpret the thoughts of master minds. Most of her pupils are of the city but many of the Normal students avail themselves of the opportunity to study under her efficient tutelage. Public School Music Department In the teaching of music in the Public Schools of America, the aims are three-fold. m First—To make America a music-loving nation. Second—To make its people broad-minded, intelligent lovers of music. Third—To discover, encourage, and train with utmost care the future music artists of America. The Public School Music Department of the Dickinson State Normal, working toward the greater end, has this lesser aim—to make the future teachers of North Dakota intelligent, capable, seriously-interested trainers of the young in ways musical, that the great cause of good music shall keep apace with the progress in all other lines of the State.

This year the club and Miss Kindley co-operated for a concert. It is said that anticipation is better than realization but in this case the reverse proved to be true. The members of the club are grateful to Miss Harrison for her constant effort and unceasing deligence. Anything it has accomplished during its history is due to her cheerful and able leadership.

PRAIRIE SMOKE ......:________________ ,i mmamm PRAIRIE SMOKE BASKETBALL For the first time in the history of the Dickinson Normal School organ- ized basketball was tried out this season with good success, the team win- ning nearly half of their schedule of games. The school has maintained basketball teams in former years but this was the first time that it was placed on an organized basis and a definite schedule of games played. In the schedule of eighteen games, the team won seven, lost ten, and tied one. They scored a total of 306 points as compared with 335 by their opponents. Their opponents represented seme of the best high school clubs in western North Dakota and besides this they met and made a creditable showing against Valley City Normal in the two games played. They also played one game with Ellendale Normal. These games being the first time the Dickinson Normal has engaged in inter-normal competition. At the outset of the season last fall Coach N. L. Lancaster had only one or two men with previous basketball experience. Due to the earnest and untiring efforts and the skillful training of Mr. Lancaster, the team came into prominence this year and because of the splendid coaching and good training the new and inexperienced players developed into good material and will be valuable assets to the squad another season.

JOHNSON OSCAR KRCTZNER FRANCIS SWOPE CHARLES CONNER WILLIAM TRZYNKA THE SECOND TEAM To the second team is due a great deal of credit for the accmoplishments of the first team. They were the boys that took the hard knocks at practice, worked hard and faithfully in the training that the first team might have the needed opposition to make them skillful players. They helped in the cheer- ing, boosted the rooters clubs, and athletics, and gave the all round loyal sup- port to the team and the school, that proved them true sportsman. Though not given the opportunity to play in many scheduled games with outside teams they made very creditable showing in the few games played.

The girl’s basket ball season was long in preparation but short in execu- tion due to bad roads, disagreeable weather and lack c-f funds. Only two games were played with outside teams both games with New England, one on the home floor and the other at New England. A third game which was an interclass game was played as a preliminary before the Ellendale game. The game at New England resulted in a score of 9-4 in favor of New England. The game on the home floor resulted in a score of I 9-2 in favor of New England. The interclass game was I 6-6 in favor of the first team. The squad of the first team consisted of Louise Bloom, captain as forward, Louise Williamson forward, Lyla Myron, forward; Bima Carroll, guarding center; Pauline Rust, running center; Marrion Peitz, running center; Ruth Ketchum, guard; Bertina Eid, guard. The squad of the second team was Bess Bridges forward, Sylvia Oukrop forward, Ida Trzynka jumping center, Myra Shipley running center. Charity Blackburn guard, Gladys Poloson guard.

The first game played off was the Stars. The second game was the Dacotah's vs. Normal Bloomer Girls resulting in a score of 22- 2 I in favor of the latter. The game was exciting from start to finish. The final game the Stars vs. Bloomer Girls. The score was 14-6 in favor of the “Bloomer Girls. N. L. Lancaster was the official umpire. The squad of the champion team consisted of Hazel Brekke. Dorothy Flatz. Marrion Peitz, Katherine Neidhardt. Louisa Farner, Ada Rue, Blanche Rohrer, Evelyn Flatz and Helen Kono.

Exceeding sleep had made TANKHAMEN bold And to the presence in the tomb he said, “What writest thou?” The reporter raised his head And with a look which did with fear abound Answered, “An account of all the treasures herein found.” “And am I one?” asked TUT. “Nay, not yet,” Replied the Scribe. TUT spoke more low And weirdly still, and said, “1 want you then, To give ME all the publicity that you can.” The reporter wrote and vanished.

N. Only 22 in the 1920 Class, while just three years later you almost reach the century mark. It is interesting to note, however of the total of the I 49 graduates that have graduated from the Dickinson State Normal 123 have been girls a total of 82.55', (no wonder woman suffrage has arrived) while the boys are trailing with a total of 26 or 17.45%. But we’ll leave that to future classes to equalize. As a manifestation of esprit de corps each graduating class wonders how the school will ever get along when it’s gone. A member of the faculty said to me last fall: You know I’ve never had anybody to fill the place of the members of your class; the school hasn’t seemed the same place since you folks left us. And 1 felt particularly glorified but my glory was short lived, for she added. But 1 feel that way about each class that graduates. And so D. S. N. will march onward—adding new laurels and fame to her name. However we hope you have become sufficiently enamored with our Alma Mater, during ycur stay under her banners, to ever be loyal to her cause, as well as loyal to yourself and to your country. As you stand on the thresh- hold of life—the way lies open before you—your future life—success in your work, is just what you make it, nc more no less. Use the talents God has given you and go to work. The world needs teachers, real teachers, energetic teachers—what can or will you do—our hats are off to you. Then join us in three rousing cheers for the Blue and Gray—our Alma Mater, may she ever prosper! Loyal Alumni. Loyal Alumni: The members of the three classes who have been graduated from our school have set high standards which cannot wane, and therefore the class of 192 3 must strive to the utmost to retain them. Much of the school’s success has been due to the loyal alumni. Perhaps the greatest thing you have done for us is the inspiration you have given through your own per- sonal success, which will spur us on to do our best. We find you prominent in all movements for the help of D. S. N. and more than that, we find you successful in your chosen work, splendid representatives of our splendid school. Soon the class of 1923 will be added to your number. We are proud to say we have the largest enrollment of any of the preceeding classes and we sincerely hope that through the coming years we may be as successful as you have been. We also strive to prove ourselves as devoted and loyal to the Blue and Gray as you have always been.

For days, weeks, months, and years the Hall Mirror has stood faithfully performing its services, reflecting truthfully the idiocyncracies—the short-comings, the charm beauty, dignity, and grace, in fact, any and all the characteristics of both stu- dent and faculty, young and old. tall or short, fat or lean. No human being would dare thus speak the unvarnished truth, would dare be so brutally frank. How unpopular he would become in a few hours—perhaps stoned to death, who knows; yet the Hall Mirror is one of the most indispensible fixtures in the Normal School Building. Each and every one of the motley throng pays his respects to the mirror. Let us follow its reflection for just one day: 7:50 A. M.— My first caller is Mr. Scott. You are unusually early this morning. I see you had eggs for breakfast. You cannot let the students see that; wipe your chin. Thank you, said Mr. Scott, smiling. Marguerite Smith, a little smile once in a while wouldn't harm anybody, much less you. Here’s Miss Eakes, you are looking well—that smile of yours will cer- tainly captivate the students.” Gracious, Miss Lefor, you look glum this morning. And you appear to like it. Yes, Miss Curry, every hair is just so; you surely are a veritable fashion plate. Miss Curry retires with a pleased look. 8:00 A. M.— The Dormitory girls are crowding in on me—1 can hardly keep up. How wrinkled your wrist is. Miss Burnett, you look as if you had just been thrown to-gether. Miss Bloom, your belt is twisted; and your collar is turned under. You are so cute, Miss Ketchum, I'm sure you will make a hit today. “Miss Poison, there’s a big black spot on your nose; do get it off.” Your skirt hangs too low on one side. Miss Hintz. Did you comb your hair, Annabel? I think there is one hair out of place. Why all the dignity, Ruth? Oh, girls, girls, your noses are so shiny! where are your powder puffs? The bell rings. What a relief! Here comes the President. You are quite digni- fied, Mr. May, but the long strand of hair has slipped to one side and doesn’t quite cover that bald spot. Just a little adjustment will remedy that. There! How thin you are growing” Mr. May walks away much pleased. Lucile, that twinkle of your eye is simply irresistable; and it ought to be for you practice it enough. Yes, Bertina, you look wise; that ought to get you by today. Mercy, why so dignified, Harold? Don’t be afraid to bend a little. Francis, you certainly are the sweetest thing. Don’t you think so, Lila? Brace up a bit, Mr. Knudson—all the girls are not looking at you. That sweet smile of yours, Miss Hargrove will win for you a host of friends. Keep smiling. What a lovely new dress, Ann; you’re quite fetching. I'll say. The boys will like that, 1 know. “John Carroll, you are a regular heart smasher. Oh that smile!” “No, your feet are not beautiful in those shoes, Miss Busbey. PRAIRIE SMOKE ‘‘Goodness gracious, Miss Brekke, where is your rouge; you are dis- graced for life. That innocent look should make it right with Prexy, Mr. Hassler, just keep it up. Mr. Williams, do you think that austere look accomplishes anything in class? Mr. Williams walks away looking more severe. Your tie is crooked, Larry; do you suppose any of the girls noticed it? 9:00 A. M.— Here is Mr. Mewalt wearing that same old sweater. It looks quite well yet and should last another month or two. It saves your coat and covers a multitude of sins—saves laundry bills too. That sweet charming face of yours is good to reflect, Miss Mischel. Oscar, your coat is ripped; doesn’t Miss Hargrove sew? You’re a good bluffer, Mr. Keester. “Ruth Hickle, hold up your head; on one is going to hurt you.” 10:00 A. M.— Now just how should you wear your hat to be the most charming, Lucile? You know boys are so particular. Miss Senter, you are quite a stranger. You should come more often. You are quite a flirt, Eugenia.” “That’s a becoming dress, Evelyn, just the color for you. “Marion, don’t look so grouchy; you can’t always have your way. “That’s all right. Miss Petrashek; that red shawl looks well with that red dress, but I’m afraid it will be too warm for the summer. Goodness, Susie, you forgot your belt. I I :00 A. M.— Miss Klinefelter, can’t you fluff your hair a little; it would make you look younger; this is too severe. Ellefson, you are good looking; it makes it easier to get good grades doesn’t it? O those puffs! Miss Bridges; very becoming indeed. My soul, Miss Bakke, can’t you step aside a little once in a while; you are by far too sensible. Lillian, see Miss Reed about her 'Key to the Calories'. 1 :00 P. M.—“This is certainly a busy day for me. It is amusing to see Mr. Running pretend to pass me up; but I can see his side glances as he rushes by. Miss Ross, why don’t you powder your nose like the rest. Counting calories does not agree with you, Miss Reed; you are looking haggard and worn. Yes, Velda, your hair stands out quite enough. You don’t hate yourself any, do you. Miss Leask? Why so blushing, Miss Den Bleyker? I do say, Miss Farner, you have a smile for everybody. I like it. 2 :00 P.

Miss Oukrop, that you wear your clothes well? O yes, indeed I do. Dear, dear, there’s that bell again. My day’s work is abut over—just a few stragglers left; those who plan to walk home with the opposite sex are lingering for just a moment to see that dress is not disarranged—and a few of the teachers who want to get away as soon as four o’clock comes. There must be a class meeting in the Lodge Rooms; every one seems to be going in that direction, with heavy step, looking so weary, powder all off, ties awry, hair tousled. How I should like to tell them about it; but they pass by without giving me a chance, only a few hasty glances. The five o’clock bell! Back they come with hurried footsteps and ignore me completely—not one look of gratitude for the services rendered throughout the day. They are gone. All is quiet now. The janitor brushes off the dust and I lapse into a state of coma, thus to repose until the follow- ing day. And the hall mirror is alone once more.

The Normal School has a specially designed curriculum to meet the needs of this class of students. Due to the Common School Curriculum many can attend the Dickinson Normal very profitably and be in company with students of their own age, and do not need to feel ashamed to be in school. This had led many stu- dents to take advantage of this opportunity and they are now going on with their education and in time will fill their place in society and in their own community. Tire High School Curriculum The Dickinson Normal offers three High School Curriculums: Teaching Preparatory Business Preparatory College Preparatory. The above three curriculums are self-explanatory and in reality are but one curriculum consisting of standard high school courses divided so as to meet the requirements of those who are preparing to teach, for business, or for college. Each curriculum is made up of courses, some of which con- tinue for thirty-six weeks and some for eighteen weeks. Physical Education is required the whole time of attending school. Each curriculum requires forty-eight quarter credits or sixteen Nine Month credits for completion. The High School Curriculum can be completed in three years by at- tending summer school which of course would otherwise require four years or thirty-six school months. The High School Curriculum includes the following courses: Composition Arithmetic General Science Ancient Sociology English Literature Mathematics Algebra Science Physics History Mediaeval Social Science Languages Public Speaking Geometry Chemistry Modern Economics Latin and any modern language for which there is a sufficient demand to make it possible to organize classes will be offered. PRAIRIE SMOKE Rural Work- Accounts Schools Sociology Teachers’ Preparatory Courses Training Arithmetic History Writing Typewriting Shorthand Palmer Method Writing Household Art Shop Work The Commercial Curriculum The World War has developed a great number of changes regarding the business world and has given the Dickinson Normal School a new con- ception of commercial education. The Normal School is now offering Com- mercial Courses to satisfy two classes of students. Those students who are preparing for business alone may receive excellent training in the Normal School. The second class of students are those who wish to specialize in the commercial subjects while taking their professional work. The subjects to meet the requirements of those who wish to take the Commercial Curriculum will be selected from the High School Curriculum. Psychology Agriculture Physiology Arithmetic Letter Writing Commercial Law Drawing Cooking Mechanical Drawing Pedagogy Senior Reviews Grammar Geography Civics Business Work Spelling Bookkeeping Special Work Music Domestic Science Sewing Manual Training Wood Work The College Curriculum The Dickinson Normal School offers two years of college work above the high school. The work consists of standard courses in teachers' training and in college subjects. Each course consists of a year's work in the same subject or in related subjects. All of the courses offered above the high school in the Elementary Advanced Years are of college rank. The college work consists of three classes of Courses: Courses in Education Courses in Training Courses in College Work. The Dickinson Normal is located in the southwestern part of North Dakota and is therefore a great distance from any higher educational insti- tution. For this reason it is of great convenience to many students who have completed a High School Course, or its equivalent, to attend the Nor- mal School and take up their college work. The College Curriculum contains the following courses: —,--- —100— PRAIRIE SMOKE Methods The method of teaching all the common branches.

Imagine the difference that an ounce or two of dirt will make in the color of a suit or dress. That is the average amount taken from each garment we handle by our improved method of dry cleaning. No wonder that customers sometimes cannot believe their eyes when clothing is returned to them with its original color restored. This dirt cannot be removed by brushing because it is firmly imbedded in the cloth. Here it not only hides the orig- inal color of the fabric, but the gritty parts of it cut the threads and materially shorten the life of the garment. Imagine a brand-new cleansing fluid flowing into the top of our cleansing machine, and a stream of dirty fluid flowing from the bottom. We have connected our cleaning machines in such a way that the fluid drawn from the bottom of them is delivered to a high speed cen- trifugal clarifier, which instantoously removes the dirt washed from the clothing. From this clarifier tlic fluid goes hack into the rleaning machine as fresh and sweet as when new (Mrculation is continued in this way all the time the clothes are being cleaned. This system marks the greatest development in the art of dry clean- ing within recent years. We have installed it to further improve the quality of our work, which in the past lias gained us an enviable reputation. Let us demonstrate what our kind of dry cleaning will do.
