To you who have led the way And have reached your distant goal; You who have helped to make life brighter As onward the seasons roll. You who have aided us, helped us; You who have trodden our steps; You who have shown your interest; And you who may come to us yet. It is to you we offer this “Annual.” May it fond memories recall; Give you perchance a bit of amusement And extend our best greetings to all. G.

It always brings joy in the place of tears, And makes the burdened heart glad; You will welcome it down through the misty years In hours that are troubled and sad. Kindness seems like the silver moonbeam That shines on a saddened face; Somehow it makes the road ahead gleam And lightens life’s hard race. Kindness is much like the glorious rays Of a beautiful setting sun; Its light seems to shine in the scattered ways Of men who walk alone. Kindness, my friend, is not purchased with gold, It was thy God given part, It is a treasure which thou should’st hold Preciously dear to thy heart. —Grace Adams. □ 1927 □ Seventeen PRAIRIE SMOKE STAFF Back Row: Thelma Gould, Eddie DeFoe.

The class is composed of all first year college students. That means that all those students taking first year Junior College work and the Elementary students of the Teaching course are in this class. The Class has not been so very prominent in furnishing class entertainments for their own class but they sponsored one of the first dances of the Normal School this year. They have shown themselves capable in carrying on the work of promoting school spirit and good fellowship through their cooperatoin with the other classes in such events as the Povv-wow. One of the individual efforts of the class was the Annual drive. Louise Dieters was made campaign manager and various group supervisors were selected. The work was carried on by this group supervision and furnished entertainment for the partici- pants and also helped to raise the subscription list for the 1927 Annual.

HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMEN □ 927 Thirty-six □ A STICKNEY HALL TALE Listen a moment and I’ll tell you a tale About Stickney Hall. (If my words don’t fail.) Above the door sits an owl wise, Nothing escapes his big round eyes. And in the entry behind the door Lovers may stand for an hour or more. Now open the door and ascend the stair, There seem to be girls everywhere, In the music room they play and sing “Baby Eyes” or some such thing. Some sit in the parlor and simply chat About a beau or a stunning new hat. Others sit alone and appear to dream, But above all Mother Drum reigns supreme. Hark! The sound of a bell you hear. From every door more girls appear Thin and fat, large and tall, They rush down the stairs and into the hall. A bell is tinkled, the voices are stilled For a moment; then the room is filled With chatter and laughter as they eat the meal Prepared for them by Lydia Thiele. I’d picture for you the study hour But feel that it isn’t within my power. Then it wouldn’t be fair to the other maids To publish the study hour escapades. When we think of leaving Stickney Hall A sadness round us seems to fall. We dread to think of the parting day When each one will go her homeward way. So I finish my tale with this one call, Give fifteen Rahs for Stickney Hall. Ruth Matthews. D------------------------------------------- 927 □ Thirty-seven THE MOST POPULAR STUDENTS IN D. S.

Overlooking the wanderings of men and their earthly struggles, how small and insignificant it all must seem. Here they have watched for centuries with the process of civilization going on at their feet and no picture has changed their ex- pression. Their eyes saw the coming of the red man and the buffalo and they have wit- nessed the extermination of both unmoved. The creak of the ox cart and the covered wagon found them silent. At the shriek of the steam engine and, as the antelope and the deer fled before the “white wave”, they held their peace. Standing as monuments in this vale of time, they speak ever to man of time and eternity and point us to our ever nearing end. In Spring Time, covered with the verdant green of the grasses and the beauty of the flowers, they breathe the hopes of youth and a future life in a world beyond; in Summer standing like a gleaner amid fields of golden grains, they speak to us of industry and the dreams and ambitions of manhood; in Autumn, clothed in a cloak of brown, they whisper of an honorable life well spent, approaching its end; and in Winter hooded in a shroud of white, they remind us of the nobility of old age and a life that is closed. Always pointing upwards in a world of much bowing and bending, they typify that upright character, which lifts them above the level of the common country. On their summits rest the massive stones that have enabled them to with- stand the storm and the gale, like some great truths to which they have clung and which have held them erect despite the vicissitudes of time. At their feet is spread the debris of their life, washed away by the waters and winds of fate, leaving them stripped, erect, and clean, like some life that rises above its impurities and its earth- iness. At evening, the sun's last rays linger lovingly on their summits and crown them with a blaze of glory and early twilight droops them with a mantle of purple haze. Here the first rays of the early morning sun come to earth and they shine forth as a beacon to guide mankind, a rock in a weary land, never changing friend and an ever present counselor. 'Round them shriek the winds of the winter to intimidate but they yield not; over them play the soft zephyrs of the spring time to tempt but they hear not; burning and hot is the wind of the summer to suppress them but they stand un- yielding, as upright and unchanging as when the starry decked heavens bend over them and whisper their wisdom and encouragement. At every time and season of the year, they speak their message to faltering man and he lifts his eyes from the sod and is strong, he is chastised and despised but is unchanged and he sees a new’ glory in life and reads better the message of his Creator which has been written with the finger of His hand. H. O. PIPPIN, '22 TO THE CLASS OF ’24 Again spring is here and thoughts of our friends of 1924 come back. Because of the friendships formed and the good times we had and all that D. S. N. did for us, I wish that our class could be reunited each spring at our reunion. As we returned again thoughts of the snow we waded thru when we entered “the Grand New Building on the hill” to its first graduating class, would surely be with us. To those who cannot return we send greetings and may we all always work for the good of our Alma Mater. MYRTLE GOODRICH DAVID Pres. Alumni, 1924 Dear Alumni: Our membership is growing larger every year. Members of our association are going out into almost every state in the Union. Is each of us being faithful to our Alma Mater? We have taken much out of our school but what are we giving in return? The least we can do is to show our loyalty by boosting and influencing new members to enjoy and gain what we did and more. Our school is progressing rapidly. New mem- bers are being added to the faculty and courses are being extended. With our push and our pull we should do a great deal to strengthen the growth of our splendid institution. Let’s make 1928 bring the biggest enrollment that our school has ever had. Every member of the Alumni Association send at least one new student. On for Dickinson Normal! ANN TEIE Pres. Alumni Association, 1927 1927 — ACES OF D. S. N. — 1927 The “Aces were selected by almost unanimous agreement of five members of the Faculty. They were selected on the basis of scholarship, leadership, initiative, interest and participation in student activities, attitude toward their work and the school, and excellence in some particular line of achievement. In this group are to be found expert teachers who will do credit to D. S. N. wherever they go. The limit of their success in teaching depends upon Thorndyke’s finding more psychology to apply. You will find public speakers and debaters who have won their laurels. Bryan died just in time to save his reputation. If he had known what speakers D. S. N. was producing this year, he would have died a heartbroken man. You will find an able editor, an excellent reader, and a splendid musician, and seven all-round, A-l students. Cease worrying about the World’s Work. We know now who will do it; for when- ever there is something to be done an Ace will be there to do it. America’s future for the next few years is safe. The Faculty Committee’s only apology is for sins of omission. Several pages might have been filled, but the Staff wouldn’t grant the space. That’s one reason why you are not an ACE. □ - 1927 Forty-hi o □ Fort yt hr re ROY D. McLEOD Coach McLeod came to the State Normal School at Dickinson in the fall of 1926 from Jamestown College where he assisted in athletics. His record as a player while attending Jamestown College and the record of his teams after graduating from that institution is one that is not to be slighted. After leaving Jamestown College he accepted a coaching position with the Jamestown High School. Leaving Jamestown he went to Miles City where he coached for two years. Early in the fall of 1926 he developed a fine football team from rather weak material. Although this team won no unusual victories it was very successful. That the basketball team was a success can be proven by the fact that for the first time in the history of D. S. N. the Normal School team beat the Dickinson High School team, and on their home floor at that. The biggest attraction—and the team that received the most publicity was the splendid tumbling team. This is the first team of its kind to be formed at this school but it has been successful from the beginning. Q— Forty‘four 1927 □ THE SAVAGES (Photo by Osborn) Front Row, Left to Right R.

The 1926-1927 athletic season was one of the most successful which we have ever had. 1926 was really the first year that football has taken a prominent part in the school and the team made a very favorable impression. This was the first year many of the men had ever played football and they were handicapped by getting under way at least three weeks later than other teams in this section of the state. Much credit is due Coach McLeod for developing the type of team which he put out, handicapped with lack of material and having to work with green men. 1927 - Forty-five □ SAVAGES Coach K. D. McLeod, Art Trzynka, Ted Strom, Lloyd Esse, Nick LeFor, Hank Slater Babe Osborn, Vince Cassidy, Nick Nicola,. Capt., George McCain, Shorty Morgan We were not as successful in basketball as we were in football but we are satisfied with the showing the team made and especially the defeat of Dickinson High School in one of the most bitterly-fought games ever played on the local floor. This was the first time that a Normal team has ever defeated the High School aggregation in any spert since the school was founded in 1917. The Normal should have a very successful season for both football and basketball in 1927-1928 as there are only a small percentage of the old men leaving and these vacancies will be taken by athletes from other schools and the “Savages should make a very creditable showing against their opponents. BASKET B is for boys who nobly played, A is for accuracy that they displayed, S is for Savages, oh, how they fought; K is for kick that the audience got. E is for each player doing his part; T is for team that won from the start. □ Forty-sis 1927 □ Back—Alice Wessel, Elizabeth Dietz, Miss O’Hara (Coach), Avilda Wobig, Vince Cassidy (Mgr.), Mary Dietz, Eileen Weinberger. Front—Norma Gartley, Blanche Lillibridge, Gertrude Stelter, Lillian VanDoren, Genevieve Hart. This year the girls did not show much interest in basketball until late in the season. In February, Miss O’Hara was asked to help the girls in basketball. She willingly consented to offer her assistance. The girls thought they needed some boy, too, who knew something about basketball, so Vincent Cassidy was secured to coach them. With Miss O’Hara and Vince's instructions (he girls developed into a good basketball team. They played one game with the Dickinson High School and won by a score of 24-4. A first team was not picked but a squad of ten was chosen to represent D. S. N. □ Forty-seven □ 1927 □ 1927 □ Forty-eight c IL ' hi 3-o 02- , w y Is €_ (AMsL' WOMEN’S LEAGUE The Women’s League of the Dickinson State Normal School is one of the most democratic organizations in the school, for upon registration every girl automatically becomes a member of it. The executive body of the League is called the “Women's Council” which consists of the officers of the League and chairmen of various committees. The Council meets twice a month for a business session. Meetings of the entire League are held once a month “to provide a means by which the women students may express opinions on matters of interest to them.” At all times the League endeavors to “encourage high ideals of character and social standards” among its members.

(- s5T STICKNEY HALL GIRLS The Stickney Hall Club met November 15, 192(5, and elected the officers for the school year 1926 and 1927. Miss Ellis was chosen faculty adviser, Helen Gearey, president; Gertrude Stelter, secretary and treasurer. It was decided that a business and social meeting be held the first Wednesday of each month. The first party of the year, the Christmas party, was an outstanding success. The people on the third floor furnished the entertainment. The second and first floor people furnished the amusement for the next two social meetings. Thereafter the president appointed committees to take charge of the entertainment, the members of which were chosen from the group as a whole. The Stickney Hall Club sponsored the movie, “The Music Master,” which was given April 27 and 28. The proceeds from this movie were used for three purposes, namely: to buy a gift for Stickney Hall; to buy a gift for the Women’s League rest room and to establish a treasury for the girls of 1927 and 1928 to begin work with. □ 1927 Fifty-two □ HOME GIRLS Top—Mabel Anderson, Louise Deiters, Iva Harding, Mrs. Webster, Fern Pesheck, Eliza Wecker, Madalen LeFor, Blanche Clark, Miss Kraus (adviser).

THE HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Smile, Save, and Serve is our motto, It tells what our work means; It forms the glorious background glow Of which our club work gleams. We aim to smile at all our work No matter what may come; We smile and purpose not to shirk Though others leave their tasks undone. We learn to save in every way, That is our club work plan; For thrifty people pave the way That helps to better man. We try to help a world of strife By training girls to be Well-rounded in their work of life To serve humanity. G. M.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Miss Griswold Mrs. Hammel Lilith Hegge Gladys Owen Armilla Determann Adviser President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Reporter The Home Economics Club was first organized in 1923 under the name of Triple S Club. At the opening of this school year the club changed its name to Home Economics Club. The club consists of members of the home economics classes and any other students who are interested in home economics. The purpose of the club is to raise the ideals of American home-making. The members believe that the study of home problems may be made of no less cultural value than the study of history or literature and of much more immediate value. The meetings were held regularly in the gym and the girls enjoyed luncheon to- gether, after which was held the business meeting. At the close of the meetings a special program or social hour was enjoyed. The discussion of educational topics and the interesting programs made the Home Economics Club a valuable and interesting organization. 1927 □ Fifty-seven □ DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES We have a department of Foreign Languages at the State Normal School. Every college student can take a course in French or German—or in both. And, in fact, there are some who really do it. Why do these students spend eight or ten hours a week on a subject that has no real practical use in everyday life? For you can do almost everything that occurs in modern life without knowing German declensions or French irregular verbs. Why, then, are those students exceptions to the general rule of taking it easy and why do they persist in coming to a class where they have to study and think a great deal? I thought it best to ask them and here is what they answered: “I take French because it is one of the best brain developers, it teaches clear thinking and aids to find out grammar construction in our language; it broadens one’s viewpoint'; “1 felt that I was missing something by not being able to read French phrases in stories”; “1 believe it will be a great benefit to me when 1 teach English. I am also interested in the customs and life of other countries, the study of languages enables one to learn about them.” “It is one of the leading languages of today and will be beneficial in traveling in other countries”; “because of the pleasure I derive in leading French literature and broadening my knowledge of French people; because it will be helpful to my art studies.” “I like the language and want to be able to speak and understand it and read it easily and readily; because you get much more from the original than from the translation of French famous works; because if I travel in Europe, the knowledge of French would make my sojourn much more enjoyable.” “I take German because so many people who have studied it told me that it was interesting; because this locality is one especially suited for the study of German.” “It has broadened my vision of some of the peoples and the countries of Europe besides giving me a knowledge of German.” “Having some knowledge of German I wanted to learn more.” “The stories we read in German give us an idea of the life and customs in foreign countries. This helps us to understand those people and tends to make us more broad-minded.” “The study of languages is of special interest for me; I have gotten a good deal out of German.” “The study of Lichtenstein has revealed to me much about the customs and life of the people in southern Germany during the Medie- val Age, that history did not.” You thought that all these students were taking a language course just to get a credit, but you will know by now that they have many good and sound reasons for studying French or German. The real and most important motive they did not tell you, maybe it is not so clear even to themselves, but I found it out clearly and un- mistakably, in watching their efforts and their progress. They want to do more than the everyday, easy thing, to be prepared for something higher than practical common life. And this attitude points them out as those who will be the leaders—those who will carry on the ideals of humanity. = 1927 Fifty-a ht FRENCH CLUB Top Row—Richard Lillibridge, Matt LeFor, Richard Heaton.

The Slope Teacher in 15 2fi 27 secured its place as one of the best college publications of its size in the state. Its improvement has been marked every year of its existence, and great credit is due to its present staff for tin quality of the publication which represents D. S. N. in the printed field. □ 1927 □ • Sixty-three ENGLISH The English Department of the Dickinson State Normal School was first organized in 1918 under the supervision of Miss Grace Haag, who remained in charge of the work until the winter quarter of 1923. During this period others who assisted in this department were Miss Martha Emery and Miss Janet Hospers. Both of these instruc- tors left the Normal in 1921. In that year Miss Daisey Busbey was elected to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Miss Hospers. In the winter quarter of 1923, Miss Haag resigned and Miss Busbey was put in her place. Miss Olive Petrashek of Idaho was elected as an assistant but remained only until the close of the year. In 1924 Mrs. Florence Voraschek was elected to take charge of the voice work and public speaking department. Mrs. Harve Robinson of Dickinson was elected in 1925 as an assistant instructor, and upon the resignation of Mrs. Voraschek in April, 1926, Miss Matilda Stoxen, at present librarian, was chosen to fill her place. The English work of the Dickinson State Normal falls naturally into three classes, namely, the Junior College work, Professional work and High School work. Miss Busbey has charge of the Junior College and Professional English and Mrs. Robinson of the High School classes. Miss Stoxen, Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Lon bake n assisted by teaching an cccasional class. The Junior College English is planned to duplicate as nearly as possible the Freshman and Sophomore years of English as they are given in the State University. The Freshman year consists of rhetoric and composition and the Sophomore year of a Survey course of the principal types of lierature. The Professional English is designed to give prospective teachers a more thorough foundation in the content of all phases of English work which they will be obliged to teach in the elementary schools. The High School English is organized so that the same work is given which is taught in the High Schools of the State. A class in Minimum Essentials of English has been organized. An entrance examination is given. If a student fails he must take the course in Minimum Essentials first. In addition to the required work in English, practical training and application are afforded through participation in various extra-curricular activities. The Slope Teacher, the Normal School paper, the Dramatic Club and a variety of inter-scholastic contests provide much valuable training in English. DEBATING SOCIETY Dan Fitzloff, Frank LeFor Nick LeFor, Matt LeFor, Lars Thompson Dick Heaton, Miss Busbey, Coach, John McCabe, Veon McConnell Howard Hanson, Blanche Lillibridge, Cora Opeland, J. Burkhardt The Forum is a society started in the Dickinson Normal in 1925 for furthering and promoting interest in debate and for carrying on competition with other teacher training institutions, joined together by the North Dakota Forensic Association. This year the Forum won the North Dakota debating championship by winning both its debates. The affirmative team composed of Earl Olson, Blanche Lillibridge and Nicholas LeFor defeated Mayville at Dickinson. The negative team composed of Louise Deiters, Richard Heaton and Mathias LeFor defeated Valley City there. The question for debate was, Resolved: That the Curtis-Reed Bill, Senate 291, House of Representatives 5000, creating a department of education with a secretary in the president’s cabinet, be adopted. Besides this, the negative team debating the affim- ative side of the question, Resolved: That the national prohibition amendment is desirable and should be retained, defeated Jamestown College’s negative team on March 23. The officers are: Earl Olson. President; Cora Opeland, Vice-President; Nicholas LeFor, Secretary; Vernon Thompson, Reporter; Mathias LeFor, Secretary of the North Dakota Forensic Association. Cl Sixty-five O 1927 THE MANUAL ARTS DEPARTMENT The Manual Arts Department is a very lively one, as everyone who has been enrolled in that department knows. It is full of students, planes, try-squares, saws, turning lathes, and a fierce man-eating buzz saw, besides all the paint and varnish that give color and brightness to the wonderful creations which are the result of much prolonged activity of the above factors. We will now visit the local scene of this action. Mr. Harding gives us a hearty welcome and a cheery smile as we enter to observe classes in Handwork, Art Fibre, Shop Work, Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing. As a result of so much activity there are sure to be some instances that leave their impress. This is what we heard in Art Fibre: Miss E. K.: “Is this the right screw driver to use?” Mr. Alvin H.: “No, that’s a chisel.” Miss E. K. (looking rather surprised): “Oh.” In Hand Work: The project was a small basket just under construction. The most popular question relating to it was: “Mr. Hanson, is this right?” Mr. H.: “Well—.” In Shop Work: Frank M., next to tears, “How can I fix this?” (After breaking his fourth bud vase.) Mr. H.: “That’s too bad, how did you break it?” In Manual Training: The man-eating buzz saw to the careless student whined: ‘Til cut off your finger if your work you don’t mind.” And it did. We crossed the hall to the Mechanical Drawing room. Here we saw students with varnished faces, so we expected something advanced. Blanche L. after gazing reflectively at a drawing just completed (but the drawing was good, you understand, and that’s whut made it remarkable) said, “Oh, isn’t it terrible!” Mr. H. (With a piece of chalk applied to the blackboard) “Now this is the vanish- ing point—.” Ray K. (Interrupting) “Aw, but it is still there!” We asked Mr. Harding “Does that student work in a local shoe store?” and we pointed to a fellow' w'e were sure we had seen play basketball last winter. Mr. Harding scratched his head and replied, “No, but wfhat makes you think Soo works in a shoe store?” “Well,” we replied, “he has been talking SHOES to that young lady for nearly an hour” and we indicated the person who made that extraordinary remark at the beginning of the class period. □ 1927 Sixty-sis □ 7mxm MANUAL ARTS CLUB The Manual Arts Club was organized during the winter quarter to promote a greater interest in and insight into the manual arts field. The formal dance given on St. Patrick's evening was one of the best dances of the season and in the future should be an annual affair of the Club. The Club plans to present a program in assembly each term and due to the large number of students enrolled in the Manual Arts Department it should prove to be a good organization. The officers are: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Sergeant-at-arms Poet - Reporter Faculty Adviser Earl Rossing Frank Mason Howard Hanson Veon McConnell Jack Burkhardt Josephine Rudiselle A. H. Hanson R. R. Harding =D Sixty seven □ 1927 AUTO MECHANICS SHOP A Fortune in Rejuvenated Fords STICKNEY HALL LIBRARY Strictly Private” □ ------------------------------------------- 1927 Sixty-eight □ MEN’S UNION President - Vice President Secretary - Treasurer - Reporter for Slope Teacher Reporter for Prairie Smoke Henry Slater George McCain Lester Rue Herbert Doering Clarence Osborn Vincent Cassidy The first meeting of the Men’s Union was held the first part of November, 1926. At that time the officers were chosen. All men of the Dickinson Normal School are members. The dance given under Coach McLeod's direction was a very delightful entertain- ment. The program presented before the student body is one that will long be remembered. d Sixty-nine □ 1927 SCIENCE LABORATORY SCIENCE Professor Swift spent much time and energy in building up the department as it takes careful selection to pick out all the things needed during the year. To give you an idea of what some of the items are we will mention a few. The new $120 projection lantern and daylight screen are used in various ways in the different classes. Both lantern slides and opaque projections may be used. For quantitative experiments in chemistry we have a scale that is sensitive to one mg. A new mercury barometer was purchased this year. Among other things are found five compound microscopes, 150 different chemicals, a Babcock testing apparatus, a model gas engine, barometers of various types, telegraph key and sounder, induction coil, St. Louis motor, sonometer. In our laboratory we have eight “brand new” $200 laboratory tables. Then there is a new $300 lecture table and a new hood. Last year $2,400 was spent for fixtures and $530 for supplies. This year $735 was spent for supplies alone. Two years of chemistry, two years of physics, one year each of biology, general science, agricultuie and nature study are offered. Some of the classes are quite large, numbering as high as 25 and 30 students. The course in basal biology is a very thorough one. Mr. Swift uses Woodruff’s Biology. This is the same text that is being used at Yale University. Chemistry was offered for the first time this year. When the fall term opened many students enrolled in chemistry. Immediately Mr. Swift selected the glassware, chemicals and apparatus needed and got them here on time so that everything went on fine. Our laboratory is an ideal workshop in which 32 students may work at the same time. Although great progress has been made the department head is striving to keep up the good work and we hope that more students will enroll in the work and take advantage of the opportunity awaiting them there. It is hoped that next year gas will be installed. The plumbing for the fixtures is already in. With these additional fixtures everything will be in perfect working order. Taking a glance back over what has happened the last two years, we feel quite proud of our accomplishment but nevertheless there is much left to be done and the sky is the limit. □ 1927 □ Seventy COMMERCIAL America is a nation of commercial leadership. The field of business today is attracting many of the cleverest and best trained minds of our country. Because so many young people wish to enter business with specific training, the Normal School has offered for many years a Business department to Slope Students. Every quarter there are beginning classes in shorthand, bookkeeping, and type- writing. A two year course is given in Bookkeeping consisting of five sets of books and supplementary sets if more are desired. The shorthand and typewriting course can be completed in two years. At the end of the first year the student is required to write new material on the typewriter at the speed of forty words per minute, and he is expected to take dictation at eighty words per minute. The standards for advanced students are raised to fifty-five words in typewriting and one hundred twenty-five words in shorthand. Last year students working for Advanced Certificates were allowed to take their electives in the Commercial department. If they finished this required work these students aie granted certificates to teach commercial subjects. Through the course accuracy is given a precedence over speed, but both are necessary factors in the accomplishment of successful stenography. Because of the many new fields that are opening to the young men and women of today, they should grasp every opportunity to advance and specialize in a life work. 1927 □ Seventy-one □ EDUCATION Of course every buddy knows that education’s the most important thing in the world. It’s awful technical, too. It’s important, that’s why it is found mostly on the third floor of the Normal School. Some of it is so important we can’t get it up here on the Hill at all and that’s why we have to go down to the Central Building and sometimes way over to Roosevelt to get it. That’s also why Miss Potts has to be there, to make yuh relize how important it is, so yuh won’t forget your lesson plans. And I say it’s technical, that’s why yuh gotta have a big vocabulary to handle it. Yuh gotta hand it to education! That’s why yuh have to take Introduction to Education, to make yuh relize it. Introduction to Education is one of those courses yuh gotta take. It’s one of those courses they always ask yuh whatta yuh wanta take when yuh register and then they sign yuh up for it wfhen yuh wanted to take Handwork or Dietetics and the Prof signs his name in the sheet which binds the bargain and yuh haven’t got anything to say about it. Well, that’s because education is important and when yuh go to class yuh begin to relize it when the Prof begins to pull the jawbreakers on yuh and yuh leave class with the following weighing on your mind: “The OBJECTIVES of Education are to ADJUST the CHILD'S psycho- perostic so that THE CHILD may justly and magnanimously perform all the offices propaedeutic, contingent and generic to the end that SOCIETY can transmit the differentiated OBJECTIVES of THE CHILD’S CURRICULUM for the FUNCTION of the PUBLIC SCHOOL is that it’s gotta do it for THE CHILD.” All of which re- minds the Prof, about the story about the woman which swallowed a tibbon, meaning the pome “The Night Before Christmas,” the substance of which is, “I rushed to the window and threw up the sash.” The more of these courses yuh take, the more yuh relize you never been educated and what an awful mess your teachers made thinking they was educating yuh. Yuh go way from one of those Methods or Technique classes thinking. “If those poor, un- prepared and inexperienced teachers that practiced on me had only known yuh gotta begin by analyzing the subject matter and THE CHILD and the PROBLEM and the PROJECT with a AUDIENCE SITUATION to ADJUST the TECHNIQUE for a PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH so the EYE-SPAN would SOCIALIZE the LEARN- ERS w'hatta whiz Idabin.” If yuh think that’s deep stuff, wait till yuh try Measurements, Practice Teaching, or Educational Psychology. Educational Measurements is to enable yuh to make a scientific DIAGNOSIS of THE CHILD'S capacities, talents, aptitudes, capabilities and inclinations by making a PROGNOSIS of his MEDIAN DEVIATION from his SEMI- INTER-QUARTILE-RANGE so’s to find a positive CORRELATION for if his SIGMA is SKEWED too much to the right or his NORMAL PROBABILITY CURVE has too many kinks in it he ought to be given a PROGNOSIS TEST like the Courtis revision □ 1927 Sevcnty-tu-v □ of the B'nay INTELLIGENCE, and if there's too much DISPERSION it indicates poor teaching or poor CLASSIFICATION. When yuh have had all this of course yuh gotta put it into practice or else yuh won't remember it when yuh pet that POSITION through the Placement Committee. That’s what we said in the first place about going down to the Central Building and sometimes clear over to Roosevelt. Yuh also gotta have the History of Education or Education in the United States so yuh will know how much yuh owe to Horse Mann, Johnnie Dewey, Herbert, Froebel, and Pestalozzi, and the FUNCTION of PUB- LIC EDUCATION in a DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY is we teach ALL the CHILDREN of all the PEOPLE those things which ALL must KNOW and BE ABLE TO DO if no other AGENCY does it for us. Educational psychology makes plain such simple things as the Pituitary con- volutions of the James-Lange theory of the individual differences in the apperceptive CONTENT of the reciprocal innervation over the synapse of the NEURAL IMPULSE into Primary and Secondary reactions to the TRANSFER of TRAINING so that what we learn is the REACTION THAT WE MAKE to a given SITUATION. Yes, yuh gotta hand it to education as being mighty important and awful technical. =1927 □ Seventy-three □ VICTIMS FOR PRACTICE TEACHERS □------------------------------------------- 1927 Seirnty-four □ the erra clui: The Cut Club was organized early in the fall under the direction of -Miss Matilda St ox eii assisted l� y Miss Roberta O'Hara. This is a play producing organization which has as its purpose the formation of an interest in good plays. Meetings were held every two weeks with an average membership of thirty-six in attendance. At these meetings, short one-act plays furnishd the evening’s entertain- ment. Special social evenings were held at arloiis occasions which were devoted to dancing, games and stunts The special feature of the organization was the play, 'Trown’s in Town.” This three-act play proved a success and a credit to the Cue Club. The club with. Veon -McConnell president, Avilda Wobig vice-president, and Louise Williamson secretary and treasurer, has done much in accomplishing Its purpose. It is hoped that in another year a great deal more will lie accomplished. O •Q? .ikx 1927 o =□ Setenty-fivg SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT One of the hardest things in this world is to be able to see ourselves as others see us. If it is not the purpose of this department to teach this virtue, it certainly is one of our principal aims to try to see our own faults and to study some of the remedies for these mistakes. Next to travel there is probably nothing that will make people more tolerant, more broad-minded and more concerned about their own mistakes than the intelligent study of the social sciences. They should show the student that all people are just folks like we are, with vices and virtues much like ours, that they cannot always be wrong and we right. Under the heading of social science we would include History, Politics and Govern- ment, Sociology, Economics and parts of other subjects such as Psychology, Ethics and Comparative Religion. The study of the most of the above subjects should also make one more apprecia- tive of the good things that we have in our modern civilization. We can see how our ancestors fought and died for some of the things that we are too often inclined to regard as the commonplaces of everyday life. Our rights and liberties, our con- veniences and material prosperity. These studies should also help to maintain an optimistic outlook upon life. Since we are able to see that in the past people have met and surmounted unnumbered obstacles we should have faith that humanity will be able to continue this practice into the future. It is the purpose therefore of this department to teach something of the history and development of the outstanding activities of mankind and that since these things are the results of the labor, sorrow, joy and love of humanity that it is our sacred duty to improve and use these things in the best ways that we can. If we do not we are not faithful to the trust of the ages and the generations to come. Dr SeiTniysix 1927 □ uls A SCENE IN THE MIDDLE HALL One day when I was going through the hall I saw the most thrilling sight; A dark haired maiden with a youth so tall Were standing shaded from the light. They were so busy they didn’t see me Until I got almost there, But I saw them and I watched in glee The antics of that happy pair. And you know I got the most wonderful thrill; They were holding hands you see, And for all I know they might have been still If just then they hadn’t seen me. I was disappointed, because what do you think She jerked her hand away, And he grinned, and her face got all pink Like the sky at close of day. But I firmly resolved right there and then I’d not hold hands where folks could see Because you never can tell just where or when Somebody’d be watching in glee. GRACE ADAMS. = 1927 □ Scvcnty-srt'fn □ • THE 1926-27 LYCEUM PROGRAM The Dickinson Normal School has been very fortunate this year in obtaining as numbers on its Lyceum course, several wonderful artists. During the regular school year five programs have been given. The Lyceum committee is to be highly praised for its choice of numbers, both for the variety and for the excellence of each program. The first program of the year was a concert given on December 14 by Miss Edna Swanson Ver Haar, contralto; Stanley Deacon, baritone; Miss O’Conner, harpist, and Hubert Carlin, pianist. Edna Swanson Ver Haar, Swedish contralto, is one of the most satisfactory conceit and oratorio contraltos before the American public. Her beauty is as far-famed as her gift of song and this combination makes her an ac- claimed favorite everywhere she goes. Stanley Deacon, American baritone, sings equally well in opera, oratorio, or recital, thus placing himself well to the fore of American artists. Miss O’Conner, who has studied the harp ever since she was a small child proved herself to be an artist of no mean ability. Mr. Carlin displayed his talent as a pianist both in his accompaniments and his solos. On February 7 and 8, the Coffer-Miller Players gave two plays, the first, Sheri- dan’s “The Rivals” and the second, “The Imaginary Invalid” by Molieie. . in both plays the acting was excellent and displayed to good advantage the dramatic ability of each individual taking part. Miss Miller and Jess Coffer, the directors, took th? main parts in each play. Both plays were well received by those who saw them. On the evening of March 7, Mr. A. L. Flude gave an illustrated lecture on China, using lantern slides and living models to display Chinese costumes. During the next two days Mr. Flude gave many class and assembly talks, each time bringing something new to his hearers. He has traveled extensively in the Orient and in every talk he emphasized the fact that all people, great and small, regardless of position, race, creed or nationality, are “just folks.” Mr. Flude has the ability of entertaining and in- structing his audience at the same time, a rare combination. Miss Vera Poppi, cellist, appeared in a concert March 28. Miss Poppi, although she was born in South America, is of Russian descent. She has studied in the London Conservatory of Music under many famous musicians. Miss Poppi charmed her audience by her wonderful playing as well as by her old-fashioned simplicity and modesty. George Liebling, pianist and composer, gave the last number of the Lyceum numbers of the school year, with a concert on April 28. Mr. Liebling has come to America only recently, hut has made a decided success, for press comments prove him to be as a pianist, “inspiring,” “a poet,” “a master of his instrument.” He is honored in London, Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Leipzig, and in Italy, and he has the distinction of being the youngest pupil of Liszt. He is, indeed, a master pianist. There will be one program during the summer term—a concert by Emil Rosseau, dramatic tenor, on June 20. The Normal School is very glad that it has the privilege of giving to the people of Dickinson the opportunity of hearing such programs as have been put on this year. They feel well repaid for the time and money spent, by the evident appreciation of the hearers of the programs; □= Seventy-eight 1927 □ !a-Ia-4 £jj7a-7[ Xd c a C-' k X )LA_cV ■' -'flI—.

Scicnty-nine THE CLASS DAY FESTIVITIES OF THE AUGUST 1926 ADVANCED COURSE GRADUATES The August, 1926, class of the graduates from the Advanced course of the State Normal School, Dickinson, was composed of a group of unusually fine students; young men and women of exceptional ability. The following is the official roster— Mabel H. Anderson Anne Bakke Frances Battien Esther Candee John Cosgrove Margaret De Fea Helen Bishop Eslick Irma Gentz Emma Giel Susan Harney Bertha Heinemeyer Sister Hermina Bertha Helmer Katherine Irish Victor Knutson Mary Malone Hulda Neidhardt Elsie Parker Sister Pauletta Margaret Pelissier Minerva Remmen Helen Racksvold Carolyn Schwinghammer Thelma Strang Ema Svihovic Constance Teigen Isca Thompson Emma J. Van Dyke Vivian Wax John Wiehoff It was these students who planned and carried to successful execution the Indian Pow Wow, on the school campus, in celebration of their Class Day, and which, it was their strongly expressed hope, might become an annual August Class Day institution, or festivity, of this school. The setting for the Pow Wow was arranged directly in front of the Main Building (which remained in darkness), with seats on the south side between the building and driveway, and a huge pile, ready for the bonfire, occupied the center of the oval court. It was an ideal night, beautifully clear, with a full moon to shed its beneficent radiance over the scene. All seats were filled and cars parked closely along the curb. At the appointed hour, eight o’clock, to the rhythm of the tom-tom and □= Eighty 1927 □ zPZ?®%r v. following two lighted torches borne aloft, the braves and squaws approached from the north-east entrance, in ceremonial procession. Arriving at the pyre, the two braves with torches lighted the fire, while the others danced around it, singing wierdly. The fire blazed brilliantly and high, snapping and crackling in the cool night air, while the Indians seated themselves about it. Then followed, a la Hiawatha style, the class poem, class prophecy, and class will, interspersed with a dramatization of “The Chattering Squaw,” and music consisting of a duet by two squaws, and a numberof original songs sung by the entire group, each number being followed by grunts or shouts of approval. One ceremony of special interest was that of casting “farewell tokens” into the fire, each accompanied by recitation of very clever original verse. The Pow Wow ended with a fitting Farewell Song to the Normal, which, after applause, was repeated entire, and then, singing “Good Night,” the braves and squaws, in solemn recessional, winding their way back to the place from which they had come, leaving the crowd to disperse, after which they were quickly transformed into the modern maid and youth of the day and enjoyed a marshmallow feast over the still bright embers of the fire, departing at a late hour, happy that school days were nearly over, but wistfully sad that it was so. May all future August classes make their August Pow Wow one of the traditions of our school. MASQUERADE BALL One of the first and snappiest affairs of the year was the mask ball given October 29. Orange and black furnished the color scheme of the decorations and the masked figures created a typical Hallowe'en atmosphere. The costumes were all Clevel- and some of them showed much originality. The prizes for the two best costumes were presented by Miss Busbey. Hazel Markow, wearing a pretty paper costume representing a bat was awarded the ladies’ prize and Dan Fitzloff attired as a tough cowpuncher received the gentleman’s prize. Elizabeth Everett as a Chinese Mandarin and George McCain as a Spanish “Don Q” received honorable mention. Music was furnished by the Normal School Orchestra and dainty refreshments were served by a dozen girls in Hallowe’en costume. = 1927 □ F.ighty-onc □ SLOPE TEACHER PROM The Slope Teacher Prom of December 4, 1U26, began a new tradition for our school. The special features, dances, and the novelty of the first prom helped to make this dance a success. The decorations were very unique and clever, consisting of the honored blue and grey and copies of the Slope Teacher. The charming Prom Queen was Mrs. C. E. Scott, chosen by popular vote. One of the unusual dance numbers was the “streamer stamp.” The ladies were not very successful in keeping their balloons whole. The “spotlight special” found Blanche Clarke and Raymond Keneski the last couple in the limelight. The “big mixer” was another special dance number in which there was one grand rush for new partners. The Slope Teacher staff is to be congratulated for being the first organization to initiate the prom and for the pleasant time everyone had.

Ki Yi!” about the room. Greatly alarmed and fearing for her sanity I dashed a glass of cold water over her brow. After some moments she came to and greeted me warmly with a pair of book ends. “You half wit! Why the April showers?” she yelled at me. Very calm and collected, I demanded an explanation of her conduct. “Pow-wow! Pow-wow! was all she could say. Stupidly I gazed at her, and then I remembered. For the next half hour things fairly flew around the Dorm. Everyone was looking for blankets and feathers and red and yellow paint. I do not know whether I looked like an Indian or just a mess; but I felt “Indiany” anyway. Very quietly we stole to the auditorium and joined the others about the open fire. A tall young brave with wild eyes rose from behind me. I stifled a cry. It was Mr. Scctt. Squaws and chiefs and braves kept coming attired in war dance costumes, in blankets, and feathers; with papooses on their backs, tomahawks in hand and deadly-looking weapons. My blood ran cold and just then someone beat the tom-tom and the war dance started. Oh, it was thrilling! Soon I, too, was Ki-Yi’ing about the fire and when it came time for the Squaw Dance, bumping elbows with my neighbors 1 discovered Squaw Somers on my left and one of the Dohrman tribe on my right. Glancing furtively behind him an old chief stalked among the crowd. Had he been scalped? Or was it Purtee ? The yelling died down. The tom-tom ceased and all the savages sat down to rest their weary bones. Spokesman Harding of the tribe came forward to introduce the Big Chief, the handsomest Indian I e’er have seen. Big Chief grunted something (it sounded Indian anyway). Suddenly Bad Man gave a blood-curdling cry that echoed throughout the building! Before 1 knew what had happened all the braves were yelling and running in every direction. In desperation I clutched the nearest squaw and eyed with amazement the capture of the culprits. One by one these of- fenders were brought to the tribe; they had failed to don the tribal robes and were to be punished! I felt myself blushing a deep cerise—some of the braves were very much “as they are.” The tortures followed. How I ever lived to see a man devour a mouse or a frog is more than I can fathom. The second degree was the blanket punishment, with cries of mercy filling the hall. In the lust degree the victims were compelled to run the gauntlet. McCain had been the first to be adopted into the tribe and with breath- less horror the squaws witnessed the trial of the others. After the last man had been tortured, Squaw Harrison presented a token to the honored winners: Medicine Man, alias Carol Steen, and Big Chief, alias Dan Fitzloff. The great feast was prepared. I had a notion squaws partake heartily of food, so I did. The snake fangs were especially tasty. S. H. rules require all inmates in by 2 a. m.; Mother Drum found me sleeping peacefully at 3 a. m.— dreaming of massacres and po V-wows. □ 1927 Eighty-fn DAN FITZLOFF Pow-wow Chief □ J927 Eighty-six r Eighty-seven CLARINETS Lester Rue Michael Fedora MANDOLIN Eileen Weinberger GUITAR Luella Erickson £ CORNET LeRoy McLeod Carl Johnson Joseph Sanders A.

The earnest and unflagging zeal of both players and leader deserves and has the commendation of the entire student body and faculty, who hope for the successful continuance of the Orchestra and of the Band as well. □ - 1927 Eighty-fight □ Agitation for a band continued throughout the fall quarter and with the good support of two of the faculty members, McLeod and Harding, some band books were secured. The first practice was held at the very beginning of the winter quarter, and it started off with a bang under the able direction of Miss Henrietta Smith. After a few rehearsals the band appeared at pep meetings and at basketball games to which it added much school spirit. The band took an active part in the program at the Farmers’ Institute at Fryburg, N. D., and is scheduled to play at several other towns this spring. The school plans on making this a permanent and growing organization in connection with the music department. The instrumentation: SOLO CORNETS R. D.

Riihard Heaton, the president of the college sophomore class, was found in his office busy at his work. The reporter immediately began her questioning: 1. What are your hobbies and diversions? “Motorcycling and reading,” was his prompt reply. 2. Have you a nickname? “Yes, Dick.” 3. What unusual incident has happened to you? He walked to the window, turned and smiled—the question evidently bringing back humorous memories—then said, “Riding down a coal railroad in a bucket.” 4. What is your greatest ambition? “To be editor of Time.” 5. What do you think the modern girl of 1940 will be like? “She’ll be all right if she’s as good as the 1927.” 6. Do you think bobbed hair will ever go out of style? “No, the girl of today has too much sense.” 7. What will D. S. N. be like in 1950? “The enrollment will be 500. There will be a boys’ dormitory. T he twigs on the campus will be trees if it rains. The ash pile on the campus will be removed.” (Reporter’s Note: His favorite expression — “Ye Gods”.) Blanche Lillibridge, president of the college freshman class, was found in the rest room. She answered the reporter’s questions as follows: 1. “My hobbies and diversions are talking and club work or sports.” 2. “My nickname is ‘Ba Lill. ” 3. “My most thrilling incident was winning the state declamatory contest at Grand Forks.” 4. ‘My greatest ambition is to see the footlights of Broadway.” 5. “The modern girl of 1950 will excel all others. She will be greater than all men that ever lived. They shall be put to sleep by her brilliancy, he shall have the persuasion of Cleopatra, the courage of Joan of Arc, and the pep of Carol Steen.” 6. “Bobbed hair will never go out of style because woman’s crowning glory is not her hair but her brains.” 7. “D. S. N. in 1950 will be a howling success.” Mrs. Hammel, president of the senior high school class, when interviewed, gave the following statements: 1. “My hobbies and diversions are keeping house and hand painting.” 2. “The most thrilling incident that ever happened to me was the time Mr. Hammel tried to make a broncho twister out of me.” 3. “My greatest ambition is to earn enough money to travel ami to have a nice home.” 4. “I don’t think bobbed hair will go out of style, it is too convenient.” 5. “D. S. N. in 1950 will have a new dormitory for the girls. The old one will be- come a men’s dormitory. There will be no high school department.” □ 1927 □ Ninety-three One fine day in May we turned on the current and started for the Dickinson State Normal in our electro-travel plane. It was only a matter of thirty minutes be- fore we caught a glimpse of our beloved Alma Mater, although the meter showed a trip of 2,100 miles. Landing at the special landing plat located on the top of the school building, we left our plane and stood for a few moments admiring the extra- ordinary speed with which the students were moving about on the campus below. You know that the Americans, when they are not riding or sailing, have adopted a jog-trot movement since it is such a waste of time to walk. Truly the school has changed since we were here in 1927. The buildings covered several blocks and were many stories high, but, as we soon discovered, this caused no inconvenience or loss of time. Everyone is provided with electric “chaises” and by pushing the destination buttons you are taken anywhere in the buildings. We first decided to see Pres. May, and a snap, and a whirr—we were there. He was in the midst of a hearty welcome when an inquisitive member of our party acci- dentally touched a button and with a whizz we were bound for some other place. In a shoit time we rolled into Professor Scott’s psychological laboratory. He was in the midst of an intelligence test. The students passed in review before him and a glance at their faces sufficed to give him their mental measurements which were then recorded by an automatic electric machine. Not wishing to be included in the test we hurriedly pushed another button and a second later, whirled into Mr. Purtee’s classroom. We found him engrossed in explaining to his class, the changes in our laws, that were necessary before the last election when Helen Gearey was elected president of the United States. Since we cared little about politics we moved again and were soon interviewing Miss Potts. With a satisfied smile she informed us of her process by which perfect teachers are evolved. Visiting Mr. Swift next we were told of a recent scientific experiment in which human life was lengthened indefinitely without the use of monkey glands. We searched in vain for Miss Harrison but we were later informed that she had just left for Mars! It was a surprising thing that with the wonderful civilization they have up there that they had never before had any knowledge of music. (Miss Harrison w'as sent up to make sure that only the best was introduced into that super-marvelous sphere.) We visited teachers old and new, and were fairly bewildered with the uncanny efficiency and intelligence evident everywhere. Upon hearing that the college education of the past is considered merely a primary step in education, we began to debate among ourselves about returning to school. We decided to investigate the one remaining department and that proved to be our undoing, for here was an eminent professor from Mars. Without further ar- rangements we enrolled in his class in Euphrida Pretacerioke! □------------------------------------------ 1927 Ninety-four □ THE CAMPUS FLIRT POW-WOV LUCKY OLE. POST!

S. N. has top score, 37 to 0. 25 Back to the old grind. 26 Boys have to copy the girls, so they organized a “Men’s Union.” 27 The faculty give talks in assembly about different school activities. We didn't know so much was going on here before. 28 Matt LeFor tells us about his trip to Fargo as our debating representative. He must have had a hot time. 29 Another one of those days when everything happens at once. 1. Dr. Kraus talked in assembly about Roumania. 2. At 2:00 we got out of classes and took part in the big Paving Jubilee Parade. Everyone had a special duty and each float went off big. 3. The annual Masked Ball was a big affair and every costume was a hit. We all had a keen time! 4. After the dance a lot of Normal Students overstepped and went to South Heart to a “Basket Social.” Sounds mild, doesn’t it ? NOVEMBER 1 Colder weather sets in and everyone turns up his collar and girls dig out their overshoes. 3 We simply study, study and then study some more. 5 Thank heavens tomorrow is Saturday and Mr. Scott won’t be testing our intelligence. One Hundred Two 8 We’ve begun to notice that all of our fair boys are getting crushes. Before long everyone will be coupled off. 11 The Women’s League has taken over the Red Cross Subscription drive and the girls are starting to canvass today. 12 Will Thanksgiving vacation ever come? 15 The Sophomores chose purple and gold for their class colors. 16 Miss Cook, State Librarian, talked to us in assembly about “Books.” 18 Today the D. S. N. orchestra appeared in public for the first time. Everyone enjoyed it so much. 19 A lot of the Normal Students were invited to the K. C. Junior Club dance. We hope they have another real soon. 22 The Dramatic Club organized and decided to call themselves “The Cue Club.” 23 In assembly today, different students gave talks on the school departments. We’ve some real talkers around here. 24 At last—Thanksgiving vacation. We all feel like giving thanks. 25 Blue and Grey played Miles City today and were beaten, 13 to 12. Little tough. 30 After the Student Council deliberated on what to do with the South Heart offenders, they decided to have them put on a program for their punishment. It was an exceptionally good one. DECEMBER 1 The French Club has organized and had a program. 2 Dr. Kraus talked to the Women’s League on “Education of Girls in Europe.” We’re glad this is America. 2 The Home Ec. Club celebrated Founders’ Day by having fun in the Little Gym. The D. H. S. Club was invited. 3 Tomorrow night is the big Prom and all the boys are filling out programs today. 4 Decorating went on in the auditorium all Saturday morning and at 8:00 the merry makers started their fun at the first annual Slope Teacher Prom. It was wonderful — Moonlight waltzes, tags, balloons, novelty dances and colored lights. The first Formal was a real whiz. 7 The Student Council presented some amendments and the Association passed them. 8 The Forum Club made plans for the year’s work. Their meetings show that they are real debaters. 9 The Methods and Management Classes had a sleigh ride party! They had a ripping time, too! 10 The Budget Board came and we had a special assembly. 11 Everybody is worrying over the problem of getting Christmas gifts. 14 The Debating class debated in assembly on College Fraternities. It was a real hot one. 14 We had the first number of the Lyceum tonight. Some very noted artists gave us a splendid musical entertainment. 15 The Stickney Hall girls had their Christmas party. It’s beginning to be the season for gifts now. 16 Miss Potts delivered a very inspiring address to the graduating class who re- ceived their diplomas in assembly. 17 Oh, exams, exams, exams! “Lord God of Hosts—Be with us yet—Lest we forget, Lest we forget.” 20 Enrolled and turned over a new leaf. 22 Tonight we had our first basketball game and defeated the Regent All Stars by a big margin. After the game there was the big annual Christmas party. A program was followed by a lunch in the Cafeteria. Pres. May came in dressed as Santa and gave each a present. 23 By, by, everybody—We’re on our way home for Christmas!

Published from the plant of BISMARCK TRIBUNE COMPANY BISMARCK, N. D. One Hundred Five JANUARY 3 “Hello, everybody — did you have a good time during vacation ?” “Yah, the hottest ever, even if it was cold.” 4 Old grind, but we feel much better after our rest. 5 Nothin’ much going on. 6 Pres. May gave the new students some pointers on how to find their way around the building. We have 280 enrolled this quarter. 7 The Savages massacred the Infantry in a basketball game. We were certainly going! 8 Saturday, and the Cue Club had it first big party. Dancing and stunts were the chief diversions. 10 The Women’s League Council had a war meeting in the little gym at lunch. 11 The Home Girls organized and elected officers this noon. 12 The Jimmies came and beat us in a fast B. B. game. We had a dance afterwards which couldn’t be beat tho. 13 Everybody is raving about the wonderful time we had last night! 14 Our big savages played Dawson and came out victorious in another basketball game. We’re getting good. 14 The Methods and Management classes went into the country to observe today and ended up by shoveling snow most of the time. 17 The Men’s Union had a meeting and elected their high monkey-monks to run affairs. 18 Mrs. S. T. May gave us a talk on “Thrift” in assembly. We certainly found it applicable. 19 The little gym witnessed another Women's League party. Games, dancing and Eskimo Pies! 20 The weather is getting colder again. Fur collars and mittens are the most popular things. 21 The M. R. Club had another one of those ripping class programs. We wish we could get in on them. 22 The second team, our little Papooses, won from St. Mary’s College at Richardton. Rough boys played rough game. 24 Another consultation of the Women’s League on how to improve the rest room. 25 We had talks by the faculty on “Magazines.” We’re going to read Harper’s now instead of Love and Romance. 26-27-28 The Persevering Papooses raided the North Country and scalped Dunn Center and Werner. Halliday burned our wee ones at the stake. 27 We had a Women’s League reception for all the house mothers. Everyone enjoyed the program and light refreshments! 28 The Mandan Braves scalped our Savages in a real game. Brawn against brawn! 28 After the game we all danced to Robertson’s orchestra. There was a large crowd and the dance was a wow! 29 “Her Step-Husband” was given to the Cue Club by some of the Taylor students. It was a hit. Afterwards we all danced and had a merry old time. 31 We all sighed to hear that George Liebling, the great pianist, couldn’t come for the Lyceum.

We’re all so tickled and happy because it’s Assembly time. Everyone makes a mad rush for the auditorium to get a good seat. We should know better because we all have been assigned a place to sit. There are a few hasty whispers, quickly suppressed because we are too public spirited to be caught. Every- one loves to attend our assemblies and we would hate to abuse this privilege. We cram into the rows and crawl over each other’s laps to our assigned position and drop with exhaustion. Then we sit in a reverie till our President and Secretary come along to inspect our “shining morning faces’’ and mark us absent if we aren’t there. Prexy faces the student body, and with both hands waves us up to repeat the Lord’s Prayer. After the shuffling of feet has subsided to a lull we have student announcements. Jessie Crawford, the progressive president, calls for a meeting of the Student Council. Thyra in her strong efficient manner demands more copy for the Annual. Elizabeth Carlin has sneaked up and is announcing another Women’s League party. The student body breaks into applause when we see Hank before us. He tells us how cur spirit is lagging and urges more pep and better attendance at the coming game. Prexy again assumes command and calls for Faculty announcements. Miss Busbey in contralto tones urges that we all be present at the next debate and sends out a plea for new debaters to join the class. Next Somers impresses upon us the public dance rule and warns us not to overstep. A number of lost and found articles are dragged forth by honest Miss Klinfelter. One by one she holds up a broken bobby comb, a worn out mail order fountain pen, a faded handkerchief, a string of pink beads, and a glass stickpin. She says these may be claimed by calling at the office and proving ownership. The Doctor himself comes before us and reprimands us about slamming locker doors. Then he puts forth a plan of going to school on Saturday. “Anybody object- ing, please stand.” We are all so modest that we sit tight even if the plan is un- popular. Mr. May glances at his watch and the Physical Education problem occupies our attention for ten or fifteen minutes. Miss Harrison takes charge of assembly singing. Each monitor busily passes out books and we sing the “Old Oak Tree” and “The Ivy Green” with much gusto. Some students are so rushed and overworked that it is necessary to do a bit of studying during assembly, much as they hate to miss what is going on. Others in our student body show signs of overstudy the night before and make up by using the assembly period to regain that lost slumber. The time fairly flies along and we can hardly realize that the hour is over when Pres. May gently waves his arms toward the exit. Then we begin the stampede out.

DEPARTMENT STORES Quarter Hundred of Years Old The quarter-century milepost of the foundation of this company Is reached this year. From an unpretentious start, the company's progress has been notable in mercantile history. This has not been simply because of Its remarkable growth, but more noticeably on account of the success Its many stores have attained In giving n service to the public that has been idealized by customers. Through all the 25 years, the concern of the company has been chiefly In providing high standard quality goods at lowest possible prices and safeguarding its customers so that, this service might always lie enjoyed by them. Day after day and year after year, the company In every way, has endeavored to serve th� public better than was expected. That it has succeeded in these endeavors is shown by the fact that the combined sales of all its stores In 1926 were approximately $25,000,00 more than in 1925. Masonic Temple Building One Hundred Ten FEBRUARY 1 Pres. May started the new month off right by giving us points on “How to Study ’ 2 The French Club had a meeting and program. 3 Our daunting Savages went on their eastern trip and were skunked by the Mandan Braves, Jimmies and New Salem Holsteins. Getting worser and worser. 5 The Home Ec. Club had a meeting and program. Nothing dingy either. 7 “The Rivals” was staged by the Coffer-Miller Players. It certainly brought down the house! 8 “The Imaginary Invalid” was the second play put on. We all think they are keen and here’s hoping they come again next year. 8 The subscription drive for “Prairie Smoke” was launched. Everybody signed on the dotted line. 9 Today the Manual Arts Club was organized. Its some Arts club too! 9 A certain Katty Klub organized within our barricades had a big party. Said they had a real “meowie” time. 10 Prof. Purtee acquainted us with Lincoln’s life all over again in assembly. 10 The Women’s League cussed and discussed dancing. 11 The New Salem Holsteins came down and had a big fight with our Savages. They won. 12 Heap big Pow-wow! Him lots of kick! Wicked time! War dances! Traitors tortured! Chow! “Me like Pow-wow” exclaimed every Savage afterwards. 14 Coach McLeod picked out, overlooked, revised our Savage team. The squad looks strange without some of those old big chiefs. 15 Father Aberle came and talked to us about Europe in Assembly today. 16 Not much besides basketball gossip went on today. 17 The Men’s Union gave a hot program! Take it either way. 19 The Powder River quintet showed up the Savages in a basketball game—but we made up for it with a dance afterward. Pep, spirit and enjoyment! 21 Old man weather is so agreeable that we’re taking hikes and pictures already. 22 Today Prof. Scott told us the “Psychological” side of Washington. He was quite a bozo when it comes to grey matter. 23 Not much happened but we are noticing the coming of spring by the number of increasing couples. 24 Home Economicers put on a play in assembly. It showed us advancements made in fifty years. 25 The Cue Club had a play, “Ashes of Roses,” starring Zib Everett. It was very effective. 26 Beach Hi was beaten by the Blue and Grey. The game was a slick one and afterwards we had a real hop. Plenty pep, cheering crowd made for a good time. 28 By - By February. One Hundred Eleven ® SEE M. A.

Mott is going good. 5 Yea, Midgets! Dickinson Hi won the honors for 1927 Slope champs. 7 Spring? If you could feel that north wind you’d think D. S. N. was perched on an iceberg. 7 Mr. A. L. Flude, lecturer, came for the Lyceum number. His illustrated talk was very interesting. 8 Mr. Flude talked to different classes about Chinese people, habits and problems. 9 We know Mr. Flude pretty well now. We have had a number of special assemblies for him and enjoy getting out of class. 10 The big operetta “In India” was given and made a real standing with us all. It was a hummer! 11 The High School and Normal School game came off and the revised team failed to respond satisfactorily. 12 Hip—The good old Savages brought home the bacon when D. S. N. beat D. H. S. for the first time in the annals of history!! “Cheer for the right team.” 13 Play practice on Sunday for the Cue Club cast. 14 “Brown’s in Town” on Monday night! “Best play of the year,” so everyone exclaimed. It was a real comedy and we laughed continually for two hours. 15 Pres. May talked to the Feminine League and we got some new' ideas on conduct. 17 In assembly eight of our students graduated to go into the big wide world. 17 Since this is St. Pat’s Day we celebrated with the Manual Arts Formal. It was the keenest one of the year! Just ask a chaperon. Blue printed programs, moonlights, lunch, and a special solo dance made the Prom a huge success. 18 Will they ever let up? One exam right after another all day long. 19 Everyone enrolled today and our pocketbooks look exceptionally slim. 21 This is the Equinox and it rained! It’s a sure sign we’ll have lots of rain this summer, so sages say. 22 Mrs. Robinson greeted our new big Chickering piano in assembly. It’s a w'onderful affair and we certainly appreciate it. 22 In a mist of lagging snowflakes eight of the Manual Arts students hit for the sticks, picnic bound. Reported a gay time! 23 “We’re all wet” or rather Prohibition was debated with Jamestown College and “ye gude olde” D. S. N. won! We’ve got a real debating team. 24 In Assembly today we had some flag exercises. The President displayed a tattered old flag that flew' over Washington, D. C., which now belongs to the school. 25 The two debating teams are working hard. 26 This w’eek-end was lovely and everyone could be seen walking about in twos and threes but not on all fours. 28 Vera Poppe won the crow'd with her ’cello playing! Her modesty and sweetness ard her ease in playing charmed us. 29 Coach and his Tumbling team put on a rare exhibition in assembly. We all laughed so much and were so thrilled!

WE HAVE BUILT CUR BUSINESS UPON A BASIS OF SPLENDID QUALITY AT MOST CONSERVATIVE PRICES — 5 CommercialArt and Engraving One Hundred Twenty-four By Stella V. Strilejeck Way back in the time of kings and queens there lived a minister with his wife just on the outskirts of the King's possessions. The minister gave up his profession because he was abused by the people of his parish. Not thinking of the future he lived very happily in his cozy little home among the hills. But alas! There came a day when he was forced to starve or seek means of support for himself and his wife. Circumstances set him thinking, so he said, “Dearest wife, you know our situation very well, can you advise me?” “Oh. let's think! was the response. After a few minutes she rose from her chair and answered him, saying, “I’ll pretend I’m dead. You go to the King and tell him that you need money. “Oh, what a fine idea, he answered. Soon he appeared at the King’s private office in the palace, but the servant would not let him in. After a long discussion the minister was permitted to enter the King's presence. “How do you do. your majesty?” sobbed the minister. “I—Oh! — you — know me. I was your minister long, long ago. My wife has died, so I came to be advised by your Majesty for I need money to give her a decent burial. The King’s heart softened. He stepped to the next room and brought forth tw’enty and three-fourths pounds. Handing the money to the minister he said, “Whenever you wish for anything come to me and I’ll see what 1 can do for you.” The minister went on his way. thanking his lucky stars for his success. “Oh, this is the easiest wav of earning money,” said he to his wife, who met him at the garden gate. “You had better go to the Queen.” After a time she arrived at the Queen's palace, seemingly with a broken heart. She poured forth her story to her Majesty. The Queen’s heart was moved. Going to her private chest she took out twenty and three-foui ths pounds. The minister was overjoved when his wife arrived home bearing the money. “Oh. this is wonderful,” exclaimed he. “Did you hear of the death of our minister's wife?” said his Majesty to the Queen at the dinner table the following evening. “You are mistaken,” was her reply. “It was the minister himself.” “No, no, it was she,” said the King. After it was evident that they could lot agree he said, “I’ll send my servant. As the servant appeared in view the minister’s wife exclaimed, “Oh! What shall we do, what shall we do? It is the servant of the King! I’ll lie down and pretend I’m dead.” So saying she did. Fulfilling his duty the servant returned to the palace and informed the King that the minister's wife was dead. Her Majesty would not agree, so she sent her servant. Upon returning her servant announced the death of the minister. Still in doubt, the King. Queen and their servants went to the home of the minister. The minister, wringing his hands, cried, “Now look who is coming! What can we do?” “We’ll both pietend we’re dead,” said his wife. No sooner said than done. Just then the King rapped at the door, but receiving no answer he opened it and entered, the others following him. After gazing at both bodies he said, “I’d give another twenty and three-fourths pounds to know who died first.” Rising simultaneously the minister and his wife exclaimed, “I did!” £, t | _ A xJb ttifcy '-■■' - vt l—'?' x-v� -6 --C + aJ£ + M GIFTSviiwj—, .« Gu ri' G..iju j W £-p—� _ ' 'j x c- -, ' r l' Ch-Ljr t v y d r-rvtAjA K-U tU (LtuCCs o pt ol lS 0 .
