Who worked with diligence To teach what we should know, To live a life of usefulness. As through this world we go. Many are thy graduates Who teach in other states, Bringing honor to the school In which they did matriculate. Farewell, then our Alma Mater, May we always do our best To teach the children of our nation How to bravely meet life’s test.

MAY President PRAIRIE SMOKE .h-H-|.|'l'l l-I-|-l-I-I-l-l-l-l-I-V 9 TO THE CLASS OF 1924 “You are my friends, for you have smiled with me My help and hope in fair and stormy weather; I like you for the joys you’ve whiled with me, I love you for the griefs we’ve wept together.” You have been here in an epoch making year. The year the school moved from the Elks’ building to the New Building. For five and one-half years the school was housed in its temporary home and then March 28, 1924 it moved into is magnificent permanent home. This was a great day for the Dickinson Normal. It left the old building with all its traditions and memories. “And as we view the fading past And dream on days that fled so fast. Full many a thorn which once was ours Seems all a-blossom now with flowers. It came to the New Building with all its hopes and prospects for future years. ‘‘With aching hands and bleeding feet We dig and h.'ap, lay stone on stone; We bear the burden and the heat, Of the long day and wish ‘twere done, Not till the hour of light return All we have built do we discern.” You are going to graduate, going out to teach. You came to the Normal School to learn. You should go forth to serve. We hope you attain success in your calling. There will be difficulties in the way. To yield to them is easy to resist them is hard. You may make mistakes, but Emerson says, “Mistakes are opportunities for learning.” Thoreau says, “Men are born to succeed, not fail.” Lord Houghton says, “The virtue lies in the struggle, and not in the prize.” Much can be accomplished by being in earnest. Robertson says, “The world is given as a prize for the person in earnest.” Dickins says, “There is no substitute for thorough-going, ardent, sincere earnestness.” Remember the three fold key to happiness, a hearty acquiescence in your lot, a hearty allegiance to duty, and a hearty appreciation of the wonders and beauty of life. Be happy yourself, make others happy. If you are happy, you will be successful. Happiness is the legal tender of the soul. There may be sorrow at night, but joy will come in the morning. “There’s an hour for toil and an hour for thought. And there is also an hour for play, But always find time in this weary old world To make some one smile each day.” — S. T.

We offer this annual to you with the hope, that it may, whether you are teacher, student, alumnus, patron of our school or stranger, call to your mind memories of your own school days, friends, and acquaintances, give you per- chance a bit of amusement, and lead you into closer sym- pathy with and keener understanding of our school life.

The crocus on the hillside, The first to greet you there; The plum trees decked in beauty With fragrance fill the air. The chipmunk from its hiding place Squeaks louder than before; The cricket by the roadside Plays its fiddle more and more. The gentle laughing breezes Among the treetops play, The meadow lark peals out its calls Of greeting for the day- From the youngsters pattering feet Creeping noises reach our ear; Louder still rings out their voices, Oh, Springtime is the time of year. — GRACE MASON.

And makes a person feel first rate. Out where the sunshine is the rarest And where the flowers grow the fairest. Out where the sky seems the bluest And the dreary days are the fewest. Out where things grow without much rain And life’s worth living just the same. Out where the cactus makes a show And where the gumbo lilies grow. The rose, the flower of the State Is seen just o'er the garden gates. The plum and cherry grow out wild Though winters are not always mild. The place where big potatoes grow And gardens not ashamed to show. The crops they raise are nothing small When hauled for shipping in the fall. The markets stocked with cattle and sheep Corn, oats, and flax and plenty of wheat. Out where the people are not proud But loyalty mingles through the crowd. Out where the red-skin used to roam And where a fellow feels at home. —ESTELLE MASON.

We best remember our school in pioneer days because with some in this class, at least, our acquaintance with the Dickinson Nor- mal began with the year of its birth. 1918. To you who have gone forth from our school to till a place in the world's work may the influence of our Alma Mater be a living power within you that shall inspire you to lofty endeavor, to uplift souls, and to shame false ideals of life. To you who have been apart from us for a little while we urge you to return and share our new and permanent home for a season. The latch string will ever be out to you and a hearty welcome awaits you. Maude Klinefelter. Pres. Class '21 CLASSMATES THAT WERE Attention! You know the force of habit.

N. Basket Ball Basket Ball was repeated this season in the Dickinson State Normal with good suc- cess. The team won seven and lost four of the games played. Basket Ball teams have been organized in former years, but the team this year was the most successful of all. They scored 239 points to their opponents 184. Their opponents represented some of the fastest teams in Western North Dakota. The first game played was with Valley City, the State Champions. A very good showing was made against this team. They also met the Dickinson High School, winners of the Fourth District Championship, and defeated them the first half of the game, but lost the last half. At the beginning of the season, twenty reported, including one letter man. Of the other, only a small part had ever played basketball. The team was also greatly handi- capped, first, from the lack of time for practice, and second, the scheduling of games.

STUDENTS In a hard fought game of indoor baseball the faculty normal went down to defeat before the onslaught of the high school. The score at the end of the 6th inning was 22 to 10. The high school refused to continue as they were out of wind from running so much during that inning. The faculty normal would have won, if the high school had continued. President May acted as arbitrator and in this capacity had plenty of chances to show his judgment. In the 6th inning Conner claimed Prof. Scott sat on him to prevent his scoring while Mr. Scott claimed that Conner tried to spike him. In the 3rd inning John Fisher tried to put Prof. Purtee out by hitting him with the ball. Every now and then, Coach, who pitched for the faculty normal thought he was playing basketball and would try to put the ball thru the basket. ferj PRAIRIE SMOKE The W. A. A. The Women’s Athletic Association of the Dickinson Normal School is one of the largest divisions of the Women’s League. It was organized for the first time in the fall of 1923. Better physical, mental, and social development was chosen as the aim of the assoc- iation. Any member of the Woman’s League is eligible to membership, upon remittance of a small fee, this making it possible to carry out definite programs without financial difficulty. A definite program was planned for 1924 but due to the inadequacy of the Armory Gymnasium the entire program could not be carried out. However during the winter quarter every other Saturday afternoon was designated as “W. A. A. Day” at which time a basketball or baseball game was played between different organizations of the league. This was followed by a social hour, sponsored by one of the divisions of th« Women’s League. Miss Heathman, the physical training instructor, assists in planning many interesting good times for the organization. The W. A. A. teams of Basket, Base, and Volley Ball are planning a tournament foT the Spring Quarter when we will occupy the ‘‘Building on the Hill.” There, the Normal teams will have access to both gymnasium and exercise rooms at any time. A plan whereby, recognition of different athletic achievements may be made, is being formulated for 1924-25. The W. A. A. hopes in the future, to have letters awarded to its members for honors gained in athletic events. Next year, school teams will be organized for the different sports. Games with neighboring schools as well as inter- group games will be scheduled. The tennis court will afford a sport which the W. A. A. will welcome. The gymnasium in the new building will do much for the school, not only along ath- letic lines, but will also promote a better school spirit. 56 PRAIRIE SMOKE 67 PRAIRIE SMOKE The New Gym On approaching the new Normal Building one does not really appreciate largeness of the building until he has entered the auditorium; then, when he realizes that the auditorium is also a gymnasium, he can really begin to appreciate President May’s earn- est efforts in securing for the Slope people the best that could be obtained. The Gymnasium proper, or the big gym, is the stage of the auditorium. The floor of this consists of a rectangular space eigthy feet by forty-five feet with an additional segment of 400 square feet. As for the ceiling, well, “the sky’s the limit.’’ The need for this gym is readily seen. North Dakota requires physical education in her schools. For this reason the gym fulfills a two fold function. It supplies a place for thy needed exercises as required by law and it also furnishes a place in which the prospective teacher may acquire a knowledge of the various games that can be used in any school in which he or she may teach. For this reason the rectangu- lar space is marked off for various games. The major sport, basketball, is marked off with black lines with a playing space sixty-seven feet by thirty-eight feet. The side lines are three feet from any obstruc- tion, the end lines are seven feet from any obstruction. The backgrounds are suspended from the rafters and braced firmly to the walls. The volley ball court is marked in blue and is thirty feet by fifty feet. The indoor baseball diamond is marked in red, the tennis court, in white; the handball court in green. In any contest in which these courts are used, or in any athletic exhibition, the spectators are seated in the auditorium proper. The seats will be comfortable opera chairs; these thy result of our unique “Chair Drive.” But what is a gym without dressing rooms ? These are located in tiers below the stage. The two for the girls are on the south side, the two for the boys are on the north side. No more will we hear the cries, “Where’s my gym shoes?” “Where’s my gym suit?” for here are lockers for everything. In connection with each dressing room are the showers. Instead of, “Hey! Chuck! hurry up with that shower,” it will be, “Come on, boys, the water’s fine.” Between the two lower dressing rooms is the little gym. This is forty feet by fifty feet. With the aid of the little gym, two classes in physical education can be held at the same time. The various games can be held here also. There is still another feature of the little gym. This is also our social room, a place for our school parties, dances, receptions, and any entertainments of clubs or societies. A more ideal spot for this could not be found. The doors to the dressing rooms permit any staging of acts, classic dances or stunts. Then, too, when the “Feeds,” are in order, a door leads into the cafeteria where all the conveniences for giving a banquet can be obtained. 58 PRAIRIE SMOKE I-M-H- 8P I L I TERARY PRAIRIE SMOKE ------------------------------------CtfiJR Foreword Words, spoken or written, are but the incarnation of ideas. Ideas are born, like human beings, in an incomplete and very immature state. It is the function of expres- sion to complete and perfect ideas and bring them to maturity. Unless we form the habit of giving expression to our ideas in conversation, in our daily work, in art, in music, or in literature, we must go through life repeatedly discovering that what we have vaguely thought, felt, or believed has been thought, felt, or believed by some one else and he has brought his idea to maturity by giving it expression in some concrete form while we have allowed ours to remain embrionic. Thus, we permit our souls to become dwarfed and shriveled. The Literary Department of Prairie Smoke stands as an open opportunity to Slope Normal Students to give one kind of expression to whatever ideas they have that give promise of cleverness, beauty, or truth. May this department this year furnish the stimulus and each succeeding year may it be the means by which the best ideas the campus produces may ripen into maturity. 60 PRAIRIE SMOKE Prairie Smoke As I gazed at the open prairie And looked up at the deep blue sky, I caught sight of rising smudges Like silver clouds before my eyes. Twas to me as the symbol of life, That was rare in the days of yore, On this beautiful widestretched plain Where the redskin may roam no more. ’Twas the symbol of something doing; Of something that was taking place; Or the dawn of an evolution, And progression of a race. And to you who turn these pages, May they reveal to you much more Than merely an issue of coalescent thoughts And a token of the class ’24. — Grace Mason •1-H-I-I--1-H--I--I--I-I-I- PRAIRIE SMOKE THE FACULTY BOUQUET Tlic Hollyhock, broad and silver leaved, Portrays the excellence of n life well lived.

When the building was well under way Presi- dent May saw that the floor space was inadequate. He made a trip to Bismarck to appeal for more funds. The legislature, deeming it impossible to make an appropria- tion, refused his plea. He was not to be daunted; he made repeated efforts, finally reaping his reward. An appropriation of $60,000 was granted. The gain was not with- out a sacrifice; it was necessary to forfeit the $19,000 which had formerly been appro- priated foT furnishings. The building now almost complete is one of the finest in the state. But had it not been for the untiring efforts of President May in the appropriation struggle, this mag- nificent structure would not have the large Auditorium and the Gymnasium which were made possible by the $60,000 extra. But what was to be done about furnishings? There was no money for that and moreover none could be had until the legislature convened in 1925. This was the great problem confronting the school. A meeting was called and after that a general Assembly for the faculty and student body. The problem had been partially solved by the suggestion of a Dickinson citizen. President May presented this man’s solution of seating the Auditorium at this Assem- bly for the approval of all concerned. The plan seemed a feasible one and it was decid- ed that the entire Slope country be canvassed for chairs. A general committee, consisting of three faculty members and two Dickinson citi- zens, outlined the campaign. Opera seat prices were discussed, a five-dollar chair be- ing chosen. The following Saturday was selected as the opening day of the big drive. On that Saturday, February the ninth, the student body assembled at the Elks Building, the pioneer home of the Slope Normal, to receive instructions for the day’s work. Profes- sor Griebel was in charge of the assemblage and had it formed in squads. The proces- sion was headed by the American flag, followed by the drummers and a fife. One had only to close his eyes to imagine himself back in the days of ’76; this cause was differ- ent, however, as the banners showed. It demonstrated the spirit of “1924.” “Chairs” was on every banner and on the lips of every student. The very ground echoed the words “Chairs, Chairs, We need 800 Chairs.” The parade marched through the heart of the business section, then through the East Side residence section, South Dickinson, and back to the Elks Building. The can- vassers were then alloted their various sections and began work immediately. The students of the various school organizations served lunches, sold candy, and became temporary seamstresses and bootblacks, donating their profits to the “Chair Drive.” The Rotarians, The Business and Professional Women’s Club, The Royal Neighbors, The Get-to-Gether Club, The Community Ladies, and the Maccabees showed their cooperative spirit by adding to the chair fund. But it is not only the Dickinson people who have cooperated in this unique drive; chair donations have come from prac- tically every part of the Slope region. This shows the appreciation of the people of this section of a magnificent Normal Building. The name of every donar of a chair is to be inscribed on an Honor Roll which will be placed in the new Auditorium. This Honor Roll will stand for ages to come as a memento of this school’s infancy. The student body of the next generation may then recall the struggle of the school and realize just what it has cost the tax payers of this section. This school is what it is today because of the undaunted efforts of our Presi- dent and the people who are and have been vitally interested in its growth and success. 65 PRAIRIE SMOKE Moving Day The trucks are at the door at last; The eager students mounting fast; And cheering crowds in chorus sing “Goodbye, Elks Hall, ’neverything!” “Goodbye, partitions thin and bare, Behind you we have left much care; We leave you with the lattice work Where all our reference books did lurk! ‘And fare ye well for evermore. Dark stairs that met us at the door. That led to the assembly hall Wheiv owls and hawks around did sprawl!” Honk! goes the horn and off we go, Past trees and houses row on row, Last, up the slope we climb so gay. For we are on the hill to stay! A Normal Dream I dreamt I dwelt in Stickney Hall With Geometry theorems on the walls; English ladies scurried about Exhibiting Methods just brought out.

But whither you are heading. And if you think that all is well, And does not need attention, You’ll be just like the million folks Whom only tombstones mention. — V. B. 66 PRAIRIE SMOKE WHEN MY SHIP COMES IN “When my ship comes in, I’ll -------” “What ship, Daddy?” Sometimes it takes the child’s simple direct questions to bring us face to face with truth and reality. As an antidote for the vagueness, the indefiniteness and procrasti- nation we adults so frequently engage in, there is nothing better than the small child’s simple directness and vigorous persistence for details. What ship? Have I any right to expect a ship to come in? Have I launched a ship? We all speak so lightly of our ship’s coming in. If we are honest with our- selves, however, down deep in our hearts we are more serious than our manner indicates; for we do, every one of us look forward with a vague sort of hope to the time when our ship will come in. Then, we believe, we will be influential, we will be powerful, we will be kind and generous, we will help the needy and relieve suffering. Why vaguely long and wistfully hope? Does not reason plainly tell us that if we are ever to have a ship coming in, we must launch one, and the sooner we launch it the sooner it may come in? “What kind of a ship, Daddy?” What kind of a ship, indeed! Reason also plainly tells up that the kind of a ship that comes in depends on the kind we launch. Our secret hope is that when our ship comes in it will be a good one, a magnificent one. If we put out only light little crafts, mere canoes, that must stay close by the shore and dare not brave the storms of the deep, we cannot expect that when our ship comes in it will be a fine big ship of the kind that does the world’s work. If we put out a pirate ship, driven by selfish purpose to prey and to plunder, to get at any cost, we dare not hope that when our ship conies in it will be the kind that ministers to humanity’s needs, making this a brighter and better place to live in. “Where did it go, Daddy?” Ah, there, I am caught again. I had not thought of that. If it is a good ship, it should go to the innermost parts of the earth and to the innermost recesses of life. It should go to the needy. It should go to the heavy-laden and help them bear their burdens. It should go to the sad and cheer them. It should go to the down-hearted and encourage them. It should go to the weak and strengthen them. Let us order a ship, a noble, magnificent one. “Build me straight, O Worthy Master, Staunch and strong, a goodly vessel, That shall laugh at all disaster. And with wave and whirlwind wrestle.” Let us put Altruism at the helm, and make Reason Captain. Let us make Kindness, Justice, and Mercy, First Mates. We will send ambition down to stoke the furnace. t 7 PRAIRIE SMOKE Look To This Day For it is Life, the very Life of Life, In its brief course lie all the varieties and realities of your existance, The bliss of Growth, The glory of Action, The splendor of Beauty, For yesterday is already a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision, But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, And every tomorrow a vision a hope.

The Women’s League considers and studies the different problems of the girls and offers helpful suggestions. Any woman who is a student or instructress of this Normal is considered an active member of the League. 74 PRAIRIE SMOKE Our Women’s League Listen, my readers, and you shull hear Of the Women’s League of this school year. T.was the last of October in Twenty Three When Miss Uhland, our Dean, efficient is she, Flanned the organization of our League to be. In Assembly that week, Miss Uhland did tell How our President would be our dear Anabel. We divided this League into groups of five, And as you will see they ar.- much alive. The first group formed was “Stickney Hall” Who played the “Workers” in basketball. “Light Housekeepers” came not far behind, “Boarding” and “Home Girls” we also find. Frances came forward with a friendly heart The Big Sister movement then to start; When new girls came to school to live A Big Sister to each, “Dutch” would give. Marian, athletic and ready for play, Was elected President of the W. A. A. Anne Shaw patiently collected term dues, And made us marvel at what quarters would do. The first Friday night of each quarter we live A Student Mixer we always help to give; The first was given early in the Fall, And soon each student was known by all. Our programs in Assembly surely were fine; We learned about Organization of Time. A very good one, if not the best, Was “Health and Appearance” by the “Triple S.” Another enjoyable one, you bet, Was the one concerning Miss E. T. Quette. The Council oft met and worked hard, too, Deciding questions of why and who. The Home Girls entertained with “Mr. Pep” It was here these cooks made their rep. And now, my readers, I’m certain you’ll see What a success the League proves to be; For it aids us all in every way And solves our questions day by day; And, you’ll surely find if you look about The League’s been a pleasure without a doubt. — I.

The organization of such a club was approved and a constitutional sketch was submitted and adopted. Officers were elected. The name committee submitted several names for the club and the name, “Men’s Union” was declared the name of the organization. The object of the Union is to promote school spirit and good fellowship. The “Men’s Union” held meetings regularly on the first Thursday of every month in the Elks Lodge Room. On Armistice Day the entertainment committee of the Union pre- sented a program in assembly. A speech was given by Rev. Elvin and a short address was given by Attorney Casey, followed by a selec- tion from a quartet consisting of Quentin Ziner, Charles Conner, Dean Belknap, and William Kitzman. On November fifteenth, a number of new young men students were taken into the Union and a welcome address was delivered by Professor Scott. Upon enrolling in the Normal School, a boy ot young man becomes a member of the “Men’s Union.” On the evening of our December meeting in the Elks Lodge Room, an inspiring address was given by Judge Crawford in which he re- counted some interesting experiences and gave us timely advice. President May also gave us a short talk on the new normal building and the progress that was being made. A few selections were then given by the “Faculty Quartet.” This was followed by a three act tragedy presented by the Normal group and several short acts by the High School group. A special meeting was held at the beginning of the winter quar- ter and the officers already mentioned were elected. On Washington’s Birthday an excellent address on “Washington and the Construction of the Constitution” was delivered by States Attorney Cain, of Dickinson. The Membership of the “Men’s Union” averaged seventy-five throughout the year and although some young men students left at the end of each term there were also a number of new students who came in each term. All meetings were beneficial to the young men, and they provide a time and place where students and faculty mem- bers can get to-gether. — B.

The name, “Triple S” means “Smile, Save, Serve.” The purpose of this club is to improve the home life by utilizing the resources of modern science and to make the home a more pleasant place in which to live. Any student in school may become an active member of this organization. The membership dues are twenty five cents a term. The officers are President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, and Prairie Smoke Reporter. They hold office for one year. The club has its meetings on the first and third Friday of each month at eleven o’clock. The club is a member of the North Dakota Home Economics Association. The Triple S Club outlined a definite program to follow during the year and this work was carried out by the members of the Club during the meetings. Some of the topics for Club work were as follows: 1. Personal Appearance 2. The Wardrobe 3. Interior Decoration 4. Table Etiquette 5. Home Nursing 7. First Aid to the Injured The Triple S Club was the first of the school organizations to give a program in assembly, the subject of this program being “Health and Personal Appearance.” Dur- ing the Spring term a program on “Table Etiquette” was presented at the assembly period. The girls of the club did plain sewing on Saturdays to help buy chairs for the new Normal Auditorium and to help equip the Domestic Science department in the new building. The three small rooms comprising the old quarters have been very inconvenient for thirty members to work in. The first half of the school year was spent in sewing and the latter part in cooking. The new building provides a sewing room, cooking room, class room and model din- ing room.

BEAUDOIN EDMUND LEISCHNEU MARGARETS BARRETTE President Vice Pr« Kldc nt Secretary-Treasurer Staff Correspondent The Social Science Club, during the first part of the year, did not accomplish as much as they had wished to, due to a late beginning: and lack of members. Later, through Mr. Purtee’s efforts, they were able to enroll thirteen members and continue the club work. (They do not believe thirteen to be an unlucky number.) On March 6th, the club responded to a request for a program to be given in assem- bly. They complied by the reading of a newspaper, edited by the members of the club and read by Louise Gauer. A picnic and other social events were indulged in during the latter part of the year. 82 PRAIRIE SMOKE •V.V THE ALTHAIA LITERARY SOCIETY BACK ROW: Poter Krank. George Brown.

OFFICERS THEODORE BAKER EDWIN T1BKE - - - NELLIE GROGAN - JOHN FISHER - PROFESSOR MORRIS - 1’resident Vice President Secretary - Treasurer Adviser The Althaia Literary Society is the first permanent organization of its kind in this school. It was organized in January, 1924. Training in public speaking and development along literary lines is given by various programs of debates, readings, speeches and talks. The members have taken an active part in these programs and the meetings have been very successful. Regular meetings are held every two weeks. This society expects to present a complete program in Assembly the spring quarter. PRAIRIE SMOKE •l-H-H-HH-l-l-I-l-l-l-I-l-l-l- Social Activities of the Year FIRST PARTY The first party! Was it n mixer? It surely was. Why. most all the inhahitnnts «� f “Zip ronn Hollow turned out. to say nothin of the crowd from Razor Rack Ridge” and “Dead Man’s Gulch.” We remember hearing the dismal chant that went somethin like this. “Ole Olson. Yohn Yohnson. the dead man has one son.” They suc- ceeded in proving: to us durin the evenfn that even though they were from “Dead Man’s Gulch.” they were very much alive. SECOND QUARTER MIXER The second quarter opened with another student mixer. During the evening a contest was held In which Klsic NIchol received first prize for shaking: hands with over eighty people. Our sympathy as well as the consolation prize went to Miss Makes and Mrs. Mewaldt whose lists of acquaintances made durin the even- ing numbered zero. TUB llltlSTM s PAIITl I remember. I remember The Christmas party too! Old Santa Claus was there with toys And lots of candy o-o-o-o. The Old year came to see us. One more service to perform: His withered form was stooped with a e. His brow with care was worn. With feeble hands he turned the mill While Father Time stood by. And dealt out gifts for one and all As swift the time did fly. 1 remember. I remember Another thin quite grand. The music which was furnished By the rent Chautauqua Band. ’Twas syncopated, Yes. and wild. We liked it nao’-i ho-1 ess. Well no wonder for the director Was none other than friend. “Les.” At last the party ended. As with li hts still twinkling bright. We gathered round the Christmas tree And all sun . “Silent Night. PRAIRIE SMOKE Honored Guests at the Washington Party WASHINGTON PARTY We saw many strange things during the year but certainly no one expected to see Martha and George Washington, La Fayette, and a number of those famous “Minuet” dancers of “76.” They were all with us at the party on February, 23. Indeed, we would scarcely have been surprised had we heard the chiming of the old Liberty Bell for there it hung above us, adding splendor to the beautifully decorated hall. Wasn’t it splendid to see those charming ladies tripping through the stately minuet and others gaily dancing the Virginia Reel or an old fashioned Quadrille? ■HH-++++ 85 PRAIRIE SMOKE AUTO SPECIAL The first all-school party of the Spring Quarter was held in the exercise room of the New Building Friday evening, April 4. 1924. Approximately one hundred students and members of the faculty were present. Preliminary enter- tainment consisted of a grand march and games. The “auto program of stunts was then indulged in by every one present. It consisted of the following numbers: Assembling the Car Filling the Radiator Hanging up the Side Curtains A Blow Out Backing Up Auto Race Changing a Tire The last number was done by every one but the President and either the job was too big for him or else he was too big for the job. The “Dodge group won the highest number of points, the “Ford group finished next, and “Buick group won third. The party was ended by serving Goodrich Tires (doughnuts) and Gasoline (coffee.) 86 _!_h_h-h-h-h-h-h-h: prairie smoke ., h..h-++-!-+-h-h-h-h-; PRAIRIE SMOKE CALENDAR OCTOBER 1.

Her eyes rested on his moustache. Her eyes lit on the words. She drew her eyes away. Their eyes flew to the scene. Her eyes dropped to her feet. His eyes burned. Their eyes sought every nook and cranny. His eyes wavered. Her eyes leaped to the dizzy heights. Their eyes clung to each other. He turned his eyes. Her eyes were lost. His eyes dwelt on her face.

The following reasoning test questions were given to students of Dickinson Normal by one fond Instructor. I If you have more joints in your right thumb than you have in your left, put a cross in the third square from the left, but if, you are a Democrat, don’t do anything unless, you have more joints in your left thumb than you have in your right. II Do you believe the Ford is better than the Dodge? If so, put a cross after the statement, “A Buick is a fine moderately priced car,” unless the Dodge is better than the Ford, but if the Dodge is better than the Buick, draw a line around the name of the car which is best. III If you can write faster with your left hand than you can with your right, put a cross in the center of the circles, but in none of the squares and answer the question, “Is the earth square?—but if you do not believe the earth is round and you can write faster with your right hand than you can with your left, put a cross in all of the squares which are inside the circles but none of the circles which are inside of the squares. IV If thjre are more Norwegians and Swedes in Dickinson than there are Irish and Norwegians, write the complimentary color of green, but if there arc more Irish than there are Norwegians, and Swedes and Germans don’t do anything but cross out the A’s but not the O’s in this paragraph. V There are at the present time many more contemporary writers in the U. S. than there were in the U. S. at the time of Columbus’ dis- covery of the New World, but if you think there are in the Library of the Normal School, not enough novels by contemporary authors, and too many library books of a Psychological nature, give nothing but the number of Contemporary writers now compared with the Psychol- ogists of Columbus’ time, however if, the Psychologists outnumber the books in the library by contemporary novelists, give only the num- ber of Psychological books in the Library. VI If you have red hair and uneven teeth, give the best description you can of a bald headed man, unless your hair is not red, but if you have false teeth and like red hair, tell how many uncles you have who have red hair and false teeth. If your uncles are both toothless and baldheaded tell how many wives they have.

If thou doest such evil act thou shalt surely walk the green carpet. II Thou shalt make thy bed each day at 7 A. M. III Thou shalt not steal pie from the cook thy friend. For such sin thou shalt suffer sore distress. IV Thou shalt not register indignation in the presence of thy house mother. V Thou shalt not entertain company in the entry. VI Thou shalt rest in sweet repose each night at 10:00. VII Thou shalt heed the call of the bell each morn at 6. VIII Thou shalt always appear on time at thy meals. Woe unto her who obeys not this command for she shall surely eat cold chops. IX Thou shalt never raise thy voice in anger. X Thou shalt make no noise in the halls nor thy room. Do all these and thou shalt be the first lady in the land. Tips for Dormitory Girls Do others as they will do you. Yes, Stickney Hall has three divisions, upstairs, downstairs, and out-of-doors. Out- of-doors is the cheapest. If the bell in your room is broken, wring the towel. No alarm clocks are furnished. Before retiring wind up the mattress and hear the bed tick. To prevent the students from carrying fruit from the table we will have no fruit— only prunes. Students are not expected to pay their bills unless they prefer to do so. We have seen all trees leave their trunk for board. To avoid any accidents, students are requested to retire before night falls. 100 SfliT— 14W W‘W W+4-H4 PRAIRIE SMOKE Ten Little TJormal “Girls” Ten little Normal girls standing in a line, Mrs. Rapp registered first, then there were nine.
