If, in the years to come, this book brings back to you cherished memories of days spent in the “Temple of Learning on the Hill,” if it, in some manner, reveals our love for D. S. N., now Samuel T. May Hall, and the efforts that have made it, it will have truly fulfilled its purpose. 19= =29 Page Five SAMUEL THOMAS MAY President IN MEMORIAM AND DEDICATION To our beloved friend, president, and instructor, who for the past ten years has successfully guided the ship as our pilot until the Great Pilot of all called him to greater heights for a rest as a reward for all he had reaped in his great harvest here among men. 19 -29 Page Sex tii MABEL BLANCHE HARRISON 19' M-------- - 29 Page Eight WE, THE CLASS OF 1929 DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO MISS MABEL HARRISON Who for the past ten years has given unselfish devotion in helping Mr. May build this fine institu- tion in which she has been an instructor, always willing to give of herself to others. 19 =29 Pa e Nine IN MEMORIAM Grace C.

In the fall quarter the Women’s League, with June Mills as chairman, took com- plete charge of the annual Red Cross drive in this district. Due to the generosity of the townspeople here and friends in towns and communities of this county, more than the quota was reached. A new custom was inaugurated when a Washington’s Birthday program and tea was given on Thursday, March 21st, in honor of the ladies of Dickinson. The affair was a complete success. After the program, arranged by Mildred Reed, tea was served in the little gym which had been pleasingly decorated by Florence Dinsdale. The girls who poured tea were dressed in Colonial Costumes. All arrangements for the refresh- ments were made by Nell Kane. Another occasion of great interest and much fun was the mock wedding which took place during the spring term. The girls came in couples, one in each couple taking the part of a man and dressing accordingly. Miss Somers was the minister and acted the part to perfection. Nothing was omitted. There were flower girls and a ring bearer; there were relatives of every description; there were guests and gifts, newspaper re- porters and detectives, and of course, the blushing bride and the awkward groom. After the ceremony everyone descended to the dining hall, where refreshments were served. The wedding cake was immense and contained a ring, some money, and a button as all wedding cakes usually do.

A chairman and nominating committee were chosen to select able officers to control the activities of the society. On November 6, officers were elected and short talks were given for the Union. In the early part of January eighty-four new members were initiated and treated to a “royal feast” prepared by members of the organization. One Tuesday, February 12, the Men’s Union entertained the Students of the Normal School and several down-town visitors with a very interesting and cleverly arranged program. 19 - ft Page Forty-six 29 Leonard Anderson.

This group of leaders also took steps to put the moving picture machine into con- dition to be used during the spring quarter. 19 - — --= 29 Page Forty-seven HOME ECONOMICS CLUB OFFICERS Mrs, Donald Rase Anna Tammen Nellie Gallagher Marion Conner Alice Harkness President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Reporter Faculty Adviser The Home Economics Club is an organization of Home Economics Girls. It is affiliated with the State and National Home Economics Association. Pins for this club have already been ordered. The aim of this organization is to instill a feeling of comradeship among the girls of the department. The Club planned and served the banquet given at the Basket-ball Tournament. It has also held enjoyable programs. 19 ■ —j3 29 Page Forty-right Herman Jeager, R. Harding, T. Heaton, L. Anderson. G. Stroming, W. Beck, D. Rase, G. Jackson, H. Neithammer, W. Wiidakas. MANUAL ARTS CLUB OFFICERS Leonard Anderson - Clement Rose - George Stroming - George Jackson - R. Harding - President Vice President Seeretary-T reasnrer Program Chairman Adviser Each year this club is organized to promote an interest in the industrial arts and to give the members an understanding of industry and what it will play in their lives. Although not much has been heard from this organization during the year, it has held meetings with a program each time consisting of addresses from men about the community who are able to talk along industrial lines interesting to the members. One social project is undertaken each year: That of giving a St. Patrick’s dance. All the work is done by the club members. The decorations, programs, and tickets of blue-prints all add to the novelty of the occasion. At this one function every class in the department is called upon to furnish its part. rage Forty-nine Front row: Rex Campbell.

THE FORUM The debate class which is organized each year organizes into “The Forum”. This club is one of the many members of the Forensic League, which is made up of debating organizations from colleges, Normal Schools, and all teacher training institutions in the state of North Dakota. Much of the credit for the success of our school in debate work is due this little group which spends much time in research and finding of material to be used by the debaters. The debate try-outs are held each year, and are open to any students in the school. 2 19= roge Fifty 29 Our teams this year not only won the state championship for debate in the league, but also won great honors for themselves and their school. For the past three years, there has been a tie for first place between Ellendale and Dickinson. This year Ellendale lost one debate and won one. Dickinson won from Ellendale and tied with Minot this year, thus gaining the lead in the league by a nar- row margin. The negative team, consisting of Margaret Anderson, Clyde Sutherland, and Wanda Young, met and defeated Jamestown by a two to one decision. They met Minot at Minot April 5, the contest resulting in a tie. This was the first experience for any of the team and they are to be congratulated for their work. The affirmative team, consisting of Glenn Emch, Byron Abernethy, and Durward Balch, defeated Jamestown College by a unanimous decision of the judges. On March 30th, they journeyed to Billings, Montana, and there defeated the Polytechnic Institute. On April 5th, they met Ellendale and defeated them. Byron Abernethy was the only speaker on this team who was inexperienced but he made as fine and forceful a speaker as the others. Mrs. Nell Robinson coached the teams and deserves recognition for her efforts to make her teams successful in debating on the question: “Resolved that a substitute for trial by jury should be adopted”. ---------;29 Page Fifty-one 19 Durwanl Balch June Mills Barbara Dubs Matilda Stoxcn CUE CLUB OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Director and Adviser The Cue Club, the dramatic organization of DSN, has as its purpose the promo- tion of self-expression through plays and other dramatic selections. It is an active organization which meets once a month. Many clever programs are staged at these meetings. Among the one act plays which have been produced were “A Woman of Character”, “The Wedding Anniversary”, “Dust of the Road”. “For the Love of Pete”, and “The Maker of Dreams”. National Drama Week was fittingly observed by staging an hour’s entertainment in assembly. Two three-act plays were produced for the public during the year. A committee was appointed to make arrangements for the purchase of stage scenery. The Cue Club has been accepted as a charter member of Delta Psi Omega, a Na- tional Honorary Dramatic Fraternity for Junior Colleges. The club hopes, in this way, to offer individual members, a reward for hard and acceptable work. 19 29 Page Fifty-two “A LUCKY BREAK” Director—Matilda Stoxen CAST Martha Mullet, proprietor of Hotel Mullet Nora Mullet, her daughter Elmine Ludine Smith, a servant Benny Ketcham, a super-salesman Abner Ketcham, his uncle Mrs. Barrett, a guest Claudia, her daughter Tommy Lansing, a painter John Bruce, a man of business Charles Martin, general manager for Bruce, Leonard Anderson Bella Mac Watt, a guest - - Mona Abernethey Isabel Kennedy Ramah Moravitz Fern Ludington James Eastgate James Cooper Margaret Anderson Esther Lenneville Harold Neithammer Carl Stav The farce comedy, “A Lucky Break”, was staged in the Normal auditorium on the evening of February 28 before a large crowd of students and townspeople. This three act play was very well portrnyed by the actors and much dramatic talent was exhibited by the individuals who took part. It was the major production staged by the Cue Club during the winter quarter. Carl Stav and Ramah Moravitz carried the parts of leading man and lady in a very creditable fashion. Isabel Kennedy, James Cooper and James Eastgage played difficult roles remarkably well, while the minor parts which furnish life, realism, and entertainment, were handled in a very capable fashion. 29 Page Fifty three 19 EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH CLUB OFFICERS Earl Rundle Linda Rauch Elizabeth Hanson Juanita Denison Mr. Hatch President Vice President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary Faculty Adviser A meeting was called by Mr. Hatch on Thursday noon, December 13, 1928, to reor- ganize the Educational Research Club. Officers were elected and Mr. Hatch gave an outline of the aims and purpose of this club; namely: To foster and promote an interest in the different phases of education and to hold discussions on educational subjects which would benefit the members of the organization. Meetings were held regularly the second and fourth Thursday of each month at noon in the little gym. The program committee (Isabel Kennedy. Juanita Denison, Valborg Hansen) ar- ranged to have speakers for each of these meetings. The first speaker was Doctor Chernausek, whose subject was “The Influence of the Teacher on the Health in a Community ’ Professor Palm of the Dickinson High School gave an address at the next meeting. His topic for discussion was “The Factors that Influence the Size of High Schools.” This was based on the conclusions he came to in his thesis on “The Junior College Survey.” 19 - — =1B 29 Pact Fifty-four “IN ARCADY” CHARACTERS Hon.

Harrison President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Reporter Director The Slope Choral Club, girls’ music organization of the Normal School, has a mem- bership of twenty-four, and is an alert, active group, under the leadership of those listed above. Their activities of the year have been centered around several major projects, the first of which was the presentation of a Christmas Cantata on December 19, Franz Abt's Christmas,” in three parts, being the choral number. It was given with an exceedingly appropriate setting, the rich dark velvet curtains, lighted Christmas tree, and tall red candles in brass candelebra forming a beautiful background, and a row of many candles serving as flickering footlights. In January, the Club entertained at an Assembly program, and later, on the evening of March 14, together with the Gleemen, gave a splendid production of the operetta, In A ready,” by Arthur Bergh. Spring.” a short cantata by Richard Kountz, will be their last music offering of this season. This year marks the first in which regular course credit has been granted students participating in extra-curricular music activities. The girls of the Choral Club have greatly apprecated this recognition, and have striven faithfully to earn the reward. The result has been a fine, helpful, happy year for all. 19 — 39 29 Pag Fifty-sir THE GLEEMEN OFFICERS Henry E. Lemke Reinholt Haring William Wiidakas June Mills Mabel B. Harrison President Vice President Sec retary-T reas u re r - Accompanist Director and Advisor The Gleemen were organized early in the Fall Quarter of 1928, with a membership consisting of fourteen young men, students of the Normal School. Rehearsals have been held regularly two hours per week on Tuesdays and Thurs- days. The interest and co-operation of the boys has been splendid. The Gleemen have appeared a number of times before the student body on the Quarter Commencement programs, at Christmas time in conjunction with the Choral Club, at the time of their Christmas Cantata presentation, in special entertainments during assembly hours, and in the Operetta “In A ready,” again with the Girls’ Choral Club. is, A happy, yet serious minded group of good fellows are the Gleemen, whose motto “Sing and the world sings with you.” 19 0 V- 29 Page Fifty-seven Henry Lemke. ORCHESTRA James Cooper Thomas Heaton Catherine Burns OFFICERS President Secretary-Treasurer Director The orchestra has been very active this year. We have heard them from time to time in assembly periods and in special features. Any student in school who plays a musical instrument is eligible for membership in this group. School credit is given for the time spent at orchestra practices. Many have taken advantage of this opportunity and therefore have benefited themselves as well as their school. On April 15, the orchestra gave its annual concert in the Normal assembly. Although the audience was not large, it was appreciative of the talent and fine work of the instructor and pupils. The following students are enrolled in the orchestra: Violins— James Cooper Linda Rauch Irene Mnanum Mildred Reed Della Weinreich August Rauch Viola— June Mills Cello— Inez Moen String Bass— Eilard Thompson Clarinet— Thomas Heaton Lester Pavel Francis Reichert Wood Winds Oboe— Clement Rose Saxophone— Walter Wilhelm Pianists— Helen Reed Elaine Pippin Trombone— Henry Hertz Cornet— William Zwick 29 19 Fifty-eighl -29 rogi' Fifty-nine Back row: Rex Campbell, Clyde Sutherland.

Playing in the Interstate State Athletic Conference for the first time, the team made an excellent record. The following college teams were played: Ellendale, Jamestown, Minot, Bottineau School of Forestry, Valley City, and Billings Polytechnic. Coach Wienbergen issued his first call for men on October 2. Between 30 and 35 candidates reported the first day, and this group grew to be 45 before the season was over. Lettermen from the previous year who reported were: Francis Reynolds. Dur- ward Balch, James Massad, Clinton Barnes, Clarence Osborn, and Richard Davis. Around this group was built a team that was alert, aggressive, and full of fight. On October 6, with only four days of practice, the Savages took on Ellendale and beat them 6 to 0. The game was played raggedly due to the short time of practice for both teams. With the Ellendale crew gone the Savages prepared for the “Jimmies of Jamestown. The game was played on October 13. This was Home-coming and the largest crowd ever to see the Savages in action was on hand. The Savages were pre- pared to play an open game with the “Jimmies, which they did. The generalship, excellent passing, and kicking of Orville Maule kept the “Jimmies on edge continually. The first half ended 6 to 0 with Jamestown leading. In the second quarter the Savages reached Jamestown’s eight yard line, only to lose their position on an incompleted pass over the goal line. In the third quarter the Savages scored a touchdown on a series of passes and finally a flat pass to Reynolds put the ball over. He went across unmolested. Orville Maule missed the extra point by inches on a drop kick. This gave the boys new life, and they carried the ball inside the ten yard line. Again we lost a chance for another touchdown due to Reynolds’ stepping in a hole back of the goal line on an attempted pass. Here Jamestown started a march down the field that was not halted until they were on our ten yard line. The score was tied 6 to 6 with two minutes to go, and we had the ball. On a punt Jamestown blocked the kick. The ball rolled along the goal line and then back of it and out-of-bounds for a safety and two points for Jamestown which put them in the lead 8 to 6. Here. Rundle, a speed demon, was sent in the game to pull it out of the fire but to no avail. Both teams played good ball. The following week the Savages played Minot and lost a hard fought game 18 to 12. In this game Dickinson completed pass after pass, but penalties at crucial times pre- vented them from scoring more. The next game was played with Bottineau and was won 26 to 0 by the Savages. Dickinson scored with comparative ease and Coach Wienbergen used two complete teams. On November 3, Valley City Teachers were played at Bismarck. Dickinson played well but was beaten by a 38 to 0 score by the strong Viking crew. The last game of the season was played with Billings Poly. In 1927 the two teams had played a scoreless tie at Billings, so both teams were keyed to the limit. The Poly had a good team, but were vanquished by the Savages to the tune of 12 to 0 after a hard fought game. The lettermen for the football season of 1928 were: Donald Aird, Wilbur Annear, Clinton Barnes, Durward Balch. Alfy Brown, Rex Campbell, Glenn Emch, Dick Davis, Fred Fitzloff, Burton Hammel, Herman Jaeger, James Massad, Orville Maule, Acting Captain, Clarence Osborn, Francis Reynolds, Earl Rundle, Roy Swenson. Other men who were on the squad who will make excellent men for coming teams are: Thomas Heaton. William Krueger, Thomas Grotemeyer, Henry Harsch, Harold Niethammer, Lester Casady, Mort MacBride, Charley Bowman, Peter Crusch, Robert Fulton, Arthur Homelvig, Fay Morrison, and Vernon Richardson. Next year the following conference games have been scheduled: Minot, Mayville, Ellendale, and Valley City. There will be two non-conference games played during the season. 19 Page Sixty-two 29 19 — 29 Page Sixty-threc Coach Wienbergen, Vernon Richardson, Lee Robinson, Donald Aird.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL This year Dickinson State Normal participated for the first time in conference basketball. Last spring, at the regular meeting of the coaches, Dickinson was admitted to the Interstate Athletic Conference which is made up of the Normal schools of North Dakota: Moorhead State Teachers’ College, Jamestown College, and Wahpeton School of Science. Conference games were scheduled this year with Ellendale, Minot, Jamestown, and Valley City. This program made up the most complete schedule of games the Normal has ever played together with games with the Dickinson High School, Co. K Independ- ents, and New Salem. The cut of town games were played on two trips. The first trip took the team by way of Bismarck to Minot. Returning they met New Salem. On the second trip of four days, three games were played: Ellendale, Jamestown, and Valley City. Last year’s Captain-elect, Raymond “Shorty Morgon was unable to return to school this year and Orville Maule acted as captain. 19 —■ Page Sixty-four 29 P Front row: Fisher, Koffler, R. Zander. A.

This is the first year that the Dickinson Normal High School has been a member of the North Dakota High School League. The team started slowly, due to inexperience of the men. There were only two letter men on the squad from the previous year. After many hard practices, the boys played some good basketball, and we have hopes that there will be some good material for the college team in years to come. The High School team won two out of five league games which they played. In the District Tournament the team was defeated by Glen Ullin, who finished second in the meet. All the letter men will return next year except Edward Fisher, who graduated. 19 0 29 GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Every girl in school participated in some sport this year. All sports were taken up in class as well as after school. During the winter quarter basketball was played. Not many of the girls took this game up as an after-school sport because it was new for a great many. The basketball season gave way to the tumbling class. This group met on each Wednesday at nine o’clock. The following girls enrolled: Alice Blakely, Florence Deiters, Kathryn Frolich, Irene Narum, Charlotte Ward, Ruth Smith, Carol Herberg, Amy Strand, Nell Kane, Mary Bonner, Julia Stetzmiller, Edith Dillivan, Elizabeth Hansen, Velma Adams, Caroline Baker, Mary Stoddard, Vivian Porter, Vivian Culver, Elizabeth Martin, Dorothy Heckaman, and Frances Krepil. This class was enjoyed because tumbling and matwork was something new for girls here. In one assembly period Miss Davidson presented this group with their stunts and pyramids. If the girls keep it up, they will soon rival the boys in tumbling. Volley ball was played during the spring quarter. Many enrolled for their favorite sport. Baseball and soccer were also played during this quarter. Tennis was played by a few in preference to the other games. $ 29 19 Pace S irty-six 19 29 Page Sixty seren 19 29 Page Sixty-eight Sincerely yours, Page Sixty-nine DR. SAMUEL T. MAY Dr. Samuel T. May was born on a farm near Defiance, Ohio, July 6, 1866, and de- parted this life at Rochester, Minn., Friday, April 19, 1929, at the age of 62 years, 9 months, and 13 days. He was united in marriage to Martha Reach at Toledo, Iowa, in 1891, and from this happy union there were born three sons—Max R. of Creighton, Neb., Don C. of Willow City, North Dakota, and Hal S. of Opheim, Montana. In addi- tion to wife and children, he is survived by six sisters and one brother, all living in the extreme west, except one sister and the brother of Iowa, who were at his bedside at Rochester during his last illness. When he was young his parents moved from Ohio to Iowa where he received his education in the public schools. After his Normal training at Benton and Valparaiso, Ind., he entered the University of Iowa, from which he graduated, receiving the degrees B. S. and later Ph. B. He also graduated with the degree of LL. B. from the Illinois College of Law. While a graduate in law, he never deserted the teaching profession for which he had a peculiar fitness and fondness. He taught in his earlier years at Hawarden, Clarion, and Victor, Iowa. For nine years he was the superintendent of schools in Madison, South Dakota, where, through his efforts, a magnificent school building was erected which stands as his monument, as does the fine structure of Dick- inson State Normal. During his superintendency at Madison, he also taught education in the summer terms at what is now the State Teachers’ College of that city. After an absence of more than a decade, the influence of Dr. and Mrs. May lingers in Madison like precious oinment poured out. It was from that position that he came to the presidency of the new Dickinson Normal School, and to tell of its growth and progress during his incumbency would be like carrying coals to Newcastle. Suffice it to say, that wherever and whenever the claims of this institution shall be pressed upon the minds of the people, that which he has done here “shall be told as a memorial of him,” for into this structure he built his life, and to this school he gave the full measure of devotion in sublimest, sacrificial service. Dr. May was reared in the Episcopal Church to which his mother belonged in his boyhood. After his marriage, he permitted no sectarian affiliation to disturb the sweet 29 19 Page Seventy unity of his home, and thus became a devout worshipper and loyal supporter of the Methodist Churches in the places where he resided. While having never united with any church, he was for the past year a trustee in the Simpson Methodist Church of Dickinson, and no one was more highly esteemed for his Christian qualities of character than was he. In this relation, as well as many others he sustained in the community, it may be said of him as it was said of David: “Thou shalt be missed, for thy place shall be empty.” To Dr. May, love was the essence of religion—“We love Him because He first loved us” and “if we love Him, we shall love everybody.” Like the great Lincoln, about whom he spoke so eloquently, he valued men for their real manhood—not because they had a great train, a lot of servants, a beautiful home, a long title. To him, these were not the MAN; these were only the accidentals and the regimentals. Paul, writing to the Corinthians, said to them, “I fear lest your minds should be corrupted from the sim- plicity that is in Christ.” Dr. May never needed that admonition, for simplicity was a marked characteristic of his noble character. His simplicity, however, was not synony- mous with crudeness. It consisted in putting the emphasis on the things that really matter. The truly great love the simple life. As we contemplate his life today, we see more clearly than before that he was simple in his dress, in his language, in his home life, in his love of childhood, in the songs he sang, and in the creed by which he lived. His home was built as a place of rest and love, and not for show. People closest to him were not reminded of his scholastic degrees. These were only valuable as acces- sories to his life’s service to the world. He scarcely ever referred to his age, for “he lived in deeds and not in years.” If a hymn were selected in respect to his taste, we would make no mistake should our selection be: “If our faith were but more simple, we would take Him at His word,” etc. When “The Shepherd Boy” was played as a voluntary, it always drew from him words of appreciation. Why? We think because it had a boy in its title, for nowhere did his simplicity reveal itself more than in his love for children. They would leave their mothers’ arms to come to his embrace. He loved everybody’s children. Never was he too much in a hurry to give them recognition; they were not afraid of his stalwart figure. They loved him because he first loved them. What a tribute! “Jesus took a child and set him in the midst.” We have seen ---------------------------------------------------------- 29 ‘age Seventy-one 19 Dr. May do that very thing- Jesus said, “Except ye become as a little child ye shall in no wise enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” Jesus said it and practiced it, and so did Dr. May. When it was reported that the Doctor was gone, and our people began to cast about to note some spiritual quality of his life, every one who knew him familiarly or casually had observed how he loved childhood and how childhood loved him. While his body was lying in state at the Auditorium, a veritable procession of children wended its way up the hill to look on the face of their dear friend whom they “had loved and lost for a while.” We have referred to the simplicity of his creed, and the unostentatious practices of this fine Christian man. He did not care for frills and furbelows. As a reverent worshipper, and receptive listener to the Gospel, he did not seek in the church “the Con- solation of Philosophy”—nor instruction in chemistry, biology, and dynamics. He came for inspiration, and assurance, and instruction in the things of the spirit, and in the will of Christ, whom he loved and extolled. These words may have escaped his eye, but we are assured they embodied his creed: “Not what, but whom I do believe, That in my darkest hour of need Hath comfort that no mortal creed To mortal man may give— Not what, but whom. For Christ is more than all the creeds. And His full life of gentle deeds Shall all the creeds outlive. Not what I do believe, but whom. Who walks beside me in the gloom— Who shares the burden wearisome. Who all the dim way doth illume, And bid me look beyond the tomb The larger life to Live? Not what I do believe, but whom, Not what, but WHOM.” 19 ------- 1‘age Seventy-two ti 29 7 4« 7 No tribute to Dr. May would be adequate that failed to note his consummate pa- triotism. He had been a student of American history from his youth. He was familiar with its traditions and political history, the great deeds of its great men, and the great deeds of its obscure men. He was too much of a student not to see certain weaknesses of our form of government, but he loved America too much to berate her, and to speak a word that would cast reproach upon her shining emblem. His faith in our democracy and our institutions always enabled him to see the preponderance of the good over the bad, and as an optimist, he felt that the liberties of our people were secure as long as America was true to the ideals and illustrious examples of Washington, Lincoln, and the noble patriots who have built up our national fabric, and transmitted to us their blood-bought legacy. Dr. May’s going has left us all stunned and bereaved. His great human sympathies and deep friendships have endeared him to this whole Slope country where he is uni- versally known and beloved. Men believed in him even though they may not have agreed with him; men esteemed his character, even though they may not have liked him. It was his common touch and courteous treatment of his fellowmen that will make his name a household word throughout this section where he made such a fine contribu- tion to its intellectual and moral elevation. Through the sequence of the years to come, his life will speak after his lips are dumb. Our sympathies go out today to the members of the faculty and to the student body, who revered his fatherly counsel, and his wise leadership in the administration of this school in the formative and critical period of its history. Dr. May was too honest to play at being a friend. His sincerity was such as to warrant instinctively, on the part of teacher or pupil, the implicit confidence that was always accorded to his words and actions. 19 =29 Page Seventy-three To the students, who are in preparation for the same profession which brought him his fame, it remains for us to learn the secret of success that crowned his years on earth. It is well to remember that he did not rise by magic, or favoritism, or politics, but by industrious habits, by fidelity to his task in the little white country school-house back in Iowa. Men higher-up took cognizance of his character, equipment, and passion for teaching, and love for young people, and one day, he heard a voice saying, “Come up higher. You have been faithful in a small place, we call you to a larger task and a wider sphere.” And thus he attained to the presidency of this fine institution which will ever stand as a monument of his wisdom and patience, and efficient leadership. To the family, we know this man of broad love found its consummation in his home. We can scarcely guess the depths of his devotion to his life's companion, and the fatherly affection for his sons, and that larger family tie for brothers and sisters. Thank God they sorrow not as those who have no hope. When shadows of the evening were falling, and his eyes were growing dim to the things of time and sense, he looked up into the face of his beloved wife and spoke his final word to her: “Yes, I know you, dear.” “So shall it be at last, in that bright morning When the soul waketh, and life’s shadows flee; O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought—I am still with thee.” By Rev. J. S. Wilds, April 23, 1929. 19 - ■-=----------=-29 Page Seventy-four EULOGY FOR MR. MAY Our late president will never be forgotten by those who knew him best. His hours, days, and years of hard work will never be forgotten by the students who reaped the benefit. This magnificent building was planned and built under his constant supervision. As soon as the building was finished it had to be furnished and equipped. Proud, indeed, was he of this spacious auditorium. He was very grateful to the people of the Slope for those comfortable seats. He looked with pride at this beautiful curtain and this grand piano. As the furniture and equipment came for this building, how carefully it was unpacked and put into place. Greater still was his appreciation when the costly tables for the library came. Why was he so proud? Because he knew' that the building was now more comfortable and conditions more favorable for the students to do their work. His one aim and hope w'as to have this building equipped in the best possible way that work might be done easily and efficiently. I can see Mr. May as he walked through different parts of the building admiring the new tables, desks, curtains, books, and a contented, thoughtful working student body. Again I can see him before the assembly where time after time he cautioned us to keep this building beautiful and unscarred, not for this student body alone, for he saw the student body come and go like a tide on the ocean. So let me say again, I ad- mire him for his courage in standing before you and begging you not to mar a building that belongs to the public. Our president loved music and he gave a great deal of his time and his vitality in bringing Sousa and his band to our school. Why did he do it? Not for his own pleas- ure; no, for he had heard that great band on several occasions and wanted you and students of the Slope, w'ho had never had the opportunity or may never have another opportunity, to hear that wonderful band. Yes, he loved his students and his love was shown as in the word of Whittier who said, “The happiness of love is in action; its test is what one is willing to do for others.” We know he made mistakes, but he was human and human beings are prone to error; nevertheless, his ideals were of the highest; his efforts and attitudes wrere directed along the right road; he did his best; and this school and its present standing is the fruit of his labors. What more could be said of a man? “The manly part is to do with might and main that what you can do.” His great slogan was, “Enter here to learn, depart to serve.” His definition of an education was “He is best educated who is of greatest service.” In ethics class he always stressed his three-fold key to happiness: a hearty alle- giance to your duty, and a hearty appreciation of the wonders and beauties of life. Students, a wonderful heritage is ours. This school and all its glory, the wonderful example of him who has just left our midst, an example of courage, kindness, sincerity, love for work that is serviceable, a greater love for mankind, and devotion to duty, and an unselfishness that belongs only to the truly great. He had faith in his students and I know that we appreciate what has been done for us. But there is still much to be done, and if we keep our eyes turned upward to- ward the right goal, if our attitudes are correct, our hearts pure, our ambitions suf- ficient to carry out our thoughts, his work will not have been in vain. His ideals and efforts for the advancement of this school will not smoulder and decay, but will endure and multiply through the years to come. Let us not mourn his going with tears and sad thoughts, but do as Whittier says, “Speak out in acts; time for words has passed, and deeds alone suffice.” By Glenn Emch, Representative of Student Body. 19 3B— - -------29 Page Seventy-five PRESIDENT MAY Samuel Thomas May departed from earthly scenes April 10, 1020. In his death: “The common way once more is passed From pleading tears and lingering fond To fuller life and hope beyond.” Teaching was President May’s life aim. With him teaching was a passion. Me loved to teach as a painter loves to paint, as a musician loves to play, as a singer loves to sing, as a strong man loves to run a race. He was deeply interested in the work of education; to that he devoted head, heart, soul, and being. It so possessed him that he could not have thrown it off if he would. He was a fine teacher, a splendid organizer, an excellent administrator, and a strong executive. In whatever activity he was engaged, thoroughness, exactness, and completeness of performance was his watchword. Among the many lessons his life teaches us, the first is the value of thoroughness, of conscientiousness, of honest work in our chosen callings. When President May undertook a piece of work he performed it conscientiously and thoroughly. This quality in a teacher is represented by the title “Master” which is often and fittingly given real teachers by children in the schools. Another lesson taught by his life is that in unselfishness and self-sacrifice are marks of the great teacher. The great teacher lays aside his hopes of individual achievement, empties himself of personal aims, and consents to put his life into others. He never missed an opportunity to assist a student or teacher in any manner possible, and if all to whom he had done a kindness were to lay a single flower on his grave, he would sleep beneath a wilderness of flowers. His was a life of service. From the time he began his work as a teacher until the day of his death, he liberally gave himself to the upbuilding of all that is worthy. Work was the law of life with him, and in his work there was always the thought of service for others, and nothing brought greater joy to him than the knowledge that others were better for his work. The little details of work, which come close to making 19 —----------------------------------- — p------- . - —29 r KC Sc. ertx-six it drudgery, were not despised by President May. The faithfulness with which he did these duties was remarkable. He expressed a thought in their DOING which another has expressed in words: “He who aims for perfectness in a trifle is trying to do that trifle holily. The universe is not quite complete without my work well done.” There was no stronger characteristic in his educational life than his devotion to his sense of duty. He sought to realize his ideals and never spared himself in carrying out whatever was necessary to such a realization. He organized the Dickinson State Normal School; he developed it until it ranks with the best schools of its kind in the land. He loved this school as a mother loves her child; he ministered to it, nourished it, and guarded it as a mother does her own offspring. President May will best be remembered because of his personal attributes of heart in his influence over others. We cannot well measure such influence. Every test will be somewhat faulty. But if there were any way to know the number of men and women to whom he has spoken the right word and to whom he has extended a helping hand the verdict would be “Herein is your Father glorified that ye bear much fruit.” As a man he was kind, sympathetic, hopeful, cheerful, faithful, courageous. His is a double immortality. He lives today in the lives of thousands whom he influenced and he will continue so to live. This is the immortality of achievements. The other he inherited through faith in the Great Teacher. Truly a prince in our profession has fallen. No fit eulogy on President May can be expressed in words. His life, his work, is his eulogy. The Dickinson State Normal School is a monument to him but a greater monument are the men and women touched by his influence. “Good service” is the monu- ment he has left behind him as an earnest striving on the part of those who follow him to carry out whatever was “good and true and beautiful” in his life and work to perpetuate his memory.

Just for tonight, That we may live over That first year of School, And check T9 Standards By the 29 rule. The School on the Hilltop Was then just a dream. But the Elks’ Hall proved ample To house all the cream Of Slope youth and maiden Who came then, as still, In search of more learning Their young lives to fill. For, instead of the hundreds That now throng our door, The numbers were fewer— Thirty-three, and no more. With Faculty, also, Just seven—all brand new— Including the President And Secretary too! Scattered now are the thirty-odd, Some far and some near. But, since all seemed one fam’ly, Mem’ry still holds them dear. Gone, too, are the teachers— Miss Schmirler, Dr. Bell, Miss Haag now in Florida, Miss Emry in sunny Gal. Each served for a time here, And full well did his part. We pause for a moment, For full is the heart. Then, our Assembly’s Came every day. Twas quickly discovered Who, by chance, stayed away! And twice a week.

No Stickney Hall then, hoys, To loiter in sight With girls fascinating, Fun-loving, and bright. But youth then was youth. As it still is to-day. So fine friendships were formed 'Twixt lads and maids gay. No Cue Club, no Gleemen, No Forensic Star, No orchestra, no athletics, Study time to mar!

N. celebrated its iirst annual Homecoming with an Indian pow-wow parade, football game, barbecue and dance. “Big Chief,” President May, dressed as an Indian chief, and mounted on an Indian pony, led the parade. He was followed by several Indian warriors, also mounted. These were followed by Normal, High School, and grade students also attired in Indian costumes. The parade ended at the High School football field, where one of the best football games of the season was played between the Jamestown Jimmies and the D. S. N. Savages. Score 8 to 6 in favor of Jamestown. After the game the parade was led to the Campus where the barbe- cue was held. J. W. Nuens, old time rancher of Medora, wras in charge of the barbecue. A large crowd attended the barbecue and bonfire around which the squaws and warriors danced and competed for the various prizes which were given for the best costumes and the best dancing. The day’s entertainment closed with a big dance in the Normal gym which was beautifully decorated in the school colors of blue and gray in canopy effect w'ith a large center dome. Through the courtesy of the Osborn Studio moving pictures were taken of the parade, game and barbecue. Everyone had a good time and it is hoped that D. S. N. will welcome its alumni back in just such a successful and enjoyable wray in the future.

Mother Drum has been matron from the beginning. The first girls who lived in the dormitory were obliged to go down town to classes, which were held in the Elks Building until 1924, when the Normal Building was erected. After electing new officers at the beginning of the Fall Quarter, 1928, the girls have had their usual monthly meetings and programs on Wednesday evenings. Later in the year they organized a “Charm School.'’ In this organization it was the purpose to work for the development of those characteristics which constitute real charm in young women. Several speakers, outside of the dormitory group, have spoken to the girls on such subjects as “The Charm of Good English, “Hospitality, “Courtesy, and “Dress. Each month the girls have a birthday party and the girls having birthdays within that month are the honored guests. Nor have the girls had these good times alone, for they have invited others to enjoy some good times with them. During the Winter Term, they gave a dance to which each dormitory girl was privileged to invite a guest. During the Spring Term they plan to have another dance and to entertain the Light-Houskeeping Girls with a picnic. To Miss Somers, Dean of Women, the girls are indebted for her consent and ready assistance in planning these social events. For the many pleasant times, the girls owe much to their faculty advisor, Miss Alma Jensen, who worked faithfully with them in making the plans for their social affairs. They appreciate her help and her friendship. 19 © — =29 Pane One Hundred Severn PUNNY, NOT FUNNY, WHO GAVE THE “Arm” to Eugene Armitage. “Nap” to Marion Belknap. “Barn” to Alfred Barnhart. “Neck” to Anton Binek. “Bow” to Charley Bowman. “Gate” to James Eastgage.
