19)7 PRAIRIE MOKE putlisked Ly HATE TEACHERS COLLEGE DICKINSON, NORTH DAKOTA ALMA MATER We would build here an nsritution of friendship. A place of loyal hearts, hon- est minds and kindly hands. A place that will be an inspiration for youth, a source of courage for manhood and a repository of happy memories for age. A place whose corridors echo with laughter and song and whose class rooms are filled with understanding and wisdom. A place for the rich and the poor, for those with many talents and for those with few, a place for ambition and for hopeful hearts. May our walls never shelter envy or jealousy or deceit but down through the years may our Alma Mater be enshrin- ed in loving and loyal hearts. To these high purposes we dedicate anew our Alma Mater. H. O. PIPPIN, President DEDICATION To THE CITY OF DICKINSON In sincere appreciation of her spirit of friendly co-op- eration without which our school activities could not be successful, we dedicate the 1937 Prairie Smoke to the City of Dickinson. FOREWORD Between the covers of this hook we have tried to record, vividly, ac- curately and impartially, a picture of the year’s activities at Dickinson State Teachers College. It is our hope that we have cre- ated a volume which will serve as a source from which we can refresh our memories of the time when we worked and played to-gether. iy?7 PRAIRIE SMOKE STAFF” H. O.

Sister Dorothy—Garrison STANDARD, DECEMBER Nineteen JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET With each Spring Quarter comes the activities that surround the life of the graduate. One of the most outstanding of these activities is the Junior-Senior Banquet. On April twenty-ninth the Senior Class was the guest of the Junior Class, at the annual banquet. Introducing into this event a novel theme, the Junior Class wove into the banquet a setting, which depicted an oft-repeated historical scene, a Badlands Round-up. The scheme, along which the decorations were laid, closely followed the theme. On the tables and around the dining hall were reminders of the day when North Dakota was still in its infancy. Colored clays, pieces of scoria, cedar boughs, and an artificial campfire, created the atmosphere of the round-up. In the role of cattle, being rounded-up for the purpose of separating the ‘‘stuff that’s fit to go from the “throw-backs”, both classes participat- ed in the program with much “mooing” and “lowing”. Wayne Stroup, chosen toastmaster by the Junior Class, in his role of “Intermittent Mooer”, had charge of the program, which was opened by William Gunderson, Junior Class President, with a speech entitled, “Wel- come Moo”. “Responding Moo” was the answer given by Glenn Houghton, Senior Class President. Also appearing on the program, President H. O. Pippin gave the “Badlands’ Range Orders”; II. E. Murphy, the Senior Class Adviser, spoke about the “Stuff That’s Fit To Go”; and L. G. Pulver, Jun- ior Class Adviser, sighted the market condition of the “Throw-Backs”. As the program drew to a close, Esther Largis, a Senior, in a Lowing From the Trail”, and Genevieve Switzer, a Junior, in a “Lowing From Over the Hill”, spoke the farewells of the two classes.

Molloy, O’Brien. Walters, Robertson. Pippin. Second Row: F. Wiench. Bahr, Mr. Wiehoff (Adviser), Crawford. Jones. Bruvold. SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomores elected Robert O’Brien, President; Norman Bahr, Vice-President; Leone Pippin, Secretary; Kathleen Weber, Treasurer; John R. Wiehoff, Adviser. In athletics the Sophomores had several active members. John Rob- ertson, John Crawford, Francis and A. Wiench, Edwin Tuma and Norman Bahr received letters in football. John Robertson and John Crawford were awarded letters also in basketball. The Sophomores that have contributed greatly to the student publica- tion include John Crawford, Robert O’Brien, Zach Johnson, William Buresh, Roderick McKenzie, Norman Bahr, Irma Landquist, Edna Hohman, and Marion Walker as members of the Slope Teacher staff; John Craw- ford, Zach Johnson, Ima Rose, Genevieve Olson, Dorothy Walters, Roderick McKenzie, Norman Bahr, Esther Walstad, Edna Hohman, and Jerome Albers are members of the Prairie Smoke staff. Donald Miracle has been a prominent member in debate in the 1937 squad, and as Secretary-Treasurer of the Forum. Genevieve Olson is a member of the girls’ debate team. Members of the Sophomore class have also been elected to offices of various student organizations. Twenty-throo FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman class chose Orville Burda for President; Lorraine Tol- lefson, Vice-President; Betty Hiatt, Secretary-Treasurer; Ii. E. Smith, Faculty Adviser. The Freshmen have been quite active in all the college activities; music, athletics, and officers of organizations and members of various committees. Ralph Parr and Reinhold Pfeiffer won the lightweight and welter- weight championships, respectively, in the State Golden Glove Boxing Tournament held at Bismarck. Harold Bender, Donald Duck, Glenn Fakler and Charles “Chuck” Agnew were awarded letters in football. Gordon Reinke, Tim Sullivan and Harold Bender won major letters in basketball. The Reserves, composed mainly of Freshmen, who were awarded minor letters were Frank Schaff, .Joe Walery, Alan Fisher, John Ingold, James Jewell and Elmer Beneke. Another freshman who has played a very important role in athletics was Orville Burda, the cheerleader. Ilis work in arousing the enthusiasm and interest of the student body in basketball and football has added much to the success of the team. In dramatics the freshmen showed great ability in the Cue Club pro- duction, “Little Shot”, in which Mary Zwiek, Orville Burda, Gilbert Saxow- sky and Eugene Reed played important roles. On the Prairie Smoke staff are Delmar Weydahl, Mary Zwick and Irene Lautermilch. Twenty-fou r ' oraanizations ' _ I ' COLLEGE MEN’S UNION At their first regular meeting the College Men’s Union elected Adrian Nelson, President; Royal Rounds, Vice-President; and Lynn Stein, Secre- tary-Treasurer. C. L. Woodward was Faculty Adviser. In keeping with its purpose of fostering good fellowship among the men of the institution and of promoting worthwhile activities the Men’s Union carried on an active year. On November 19, the Freshmen were publicly tried and punished for their misdemeanors at an initiation program, arranged for by a committee whose chairmen were Bill Renke and Jimmie Boyland. Following the trial, a feed was served in the cafeteria. January 21, the Men’s Union adopted a new constitution submitted by Duane Muth, Norman Bahr, and Glenn Houghton. The constitution provides for reorganizing the Union during the Spring Quarter. On April 13, the Men’s Union Minstrel Show was produced by a com- mittee, headed by Joe Moore. Proceeds of the show were donated to the band to be used for buying uniforms. Other activities of the group included the sponsoring of mixers, assem- bly program, and various social functions. Twenty-six WOMEN’S LEAGUE The Women's League, an organization of all the women students in college, has, for the past year, been led in its various activities by Leora Brown, President; Lorraine Stuart, Vice-President; Marion Schuster, Sec- retary; Myrtle Mae Bahm, Treasurer; and the Misses Somers and Campbell. Early in the Fall Quarter the annual initiation ceremonies were held in the Assembly, at which time the Frosh girls became members of the group. During the year the League has sponsored several assembly programs. In the Winter Quarter they were hostesses at a Washington Tea, which was given for the mothers of the League’s members. The outstanding activity of the Spring Quarter was the annual Mothers and Daughters Ban- quet. Friendship, purity, and loyalty, which are symbolized by the League’s colors of Red, White, and Blue, is the aim which the Women’s League has endeavored to promote. Twenty-seven NEWMAN CLUB Officers of the Newman Club are Glenn Houghton, President; Robert O’Brien, Vice-President; Marion Schuster, Secretary-Treasurer; and R. E. Smith, Adviser. The Newman Club, organized in the Fall Quarter of 1935, is an or- ganization of all Catholic students in the D. S. T. C. This club sponsors dances and assembly programs among college students and within the col- lege. This year a study group was organized within the club, meeting once a month on a Sunday night. Prominent speakers were featured at each meeting, after which entertainment and refreshments were provided. The Communion breakfast has now become a tradition among the Newman Club members and is served during Lent. Much has been accomplished by this club in forwarding good co-opera- tion among the fellow students, socially and religiously.

ART CLUB The Art Club is an organization which gives training and practice to the students who have a liking for art work and wish to cultivate their abilities. Composed of two groups, the Sketch Club and the Sculp Club, the Art Club is under the supervision of Miss Beiler, Art instructor. The members of the Sketch Club are interested in sketching from life and still life, both human and animal drawings and paintings. In addition, much emphasis is placed on the sketching of landscapes with the result that many of the local scenes have been reproduced on paper by the students. The sketches are done in oil, ink, charcoal, chalk, and pencil. Each quarter the best works are bound and placed in the library. As officers the Sketch Club elected James Jewell, President; Gladys Dahlgren, Secretary; Myrtle Mae Bahm, Treasurer; and Verlie Fisher, Historian. In the other division of the Art Club, the Sculp Club, the objects of nature are reproduced in clay rather than on paper. All ceramic produc- tions are made from the clay found in this vicinity. Among the things turned out by this Club are ash trays, book-ends, vases, busts, and statuettes of animal and human figures. All production is performed by the coil and thumb methods. The officers of the Sculp Club are: Dugalda Langdon, President; Ethel Taylor, Vice-President; Anna Johnson, Secretary; Myrtle Johnson, Treas- urer. During the week of May 21-27 an Ait Exhibit will be held in room 311, at which time the work of the Art Club will be held on display. Twenty-nine First Row: Miracle. Olson, Renkc. Bruvold. Switzer.

Robinson, Faculty Adviser. The Forum, a college forensic group, is organized to stimulate and pro- mote interest in all forms of public speaking, with special interest being given to debate. This year the Forum sponsored the first Intramural Debate Tourna- ment. In the final debate held in the assembly December 17, 1936, Duane Muth and Adrian Nelson, representing the Senior Class, defeated Donald Miracle and Wilfred Renke, Forum representatives. Other teams entered in the tournament were: Genevieve Olson and Ethel Taylor, South Hall; Walter .Jeske and Perry Bruvold, Men’s Union; David Hintz and James Lyons, Junior Class; and Zach Johnson and Joe Hettrich, Forum. The tournament stimulated much interest in debate and will be con- tinued as an annual affair. During the Winter Quarter the Forum, with the cooperation of the local theatre management, sponsored a movie to raise funds for the benefit of the debate squad. Thirty Perry Donald Wilfred Duane Adrian Bruvold Miracle Renke Muth Nelson DEBATE Meeting a total of twenty-six college teams all over the middle north- western parts of the United States, the 1937 Debate Squad successfully completed the most extensive campaign ever attempted by the college. The Dickinson squad, coached by Mrs. Nell M. Robinson, was composed of Adrian Nelson, Duane Muth, Wilfred Renke, Perry Bruvold, and Donald Miracle. Nelson and Muth were the only veterans on the team. On February 5th and 6th the debaters opened their season by entering the Red River Valley Tournament at Concordia College, Moorhead, Minne- sota. Each team debated seven rounds. Muth and Nelson met teams from Moorhead, Valley City, Mayville, River Falls, Wisconsin, and St. John’s University, the University of North Dakota, and Bethel Insti- tute of Minneapolis. The other team of Renke, Bruvold and Miracle met teams from Concordia, Chadron, Nebraska, University of North Dakota, Mayville, Macalester, and Augsburg, Illinois. The Dickinson teams were the only North Dakota entries in the North- west Tournament at St. Thomas College, St. Paul, Minnesota, March 1, 2, and 3. Both teams were eliminated at the end of the sixth round. Nelson and Muth defeated teams from St. Olaf, Augsburg, Morningside and St. Cloud, and lost Concordia and Luther. Renke, Miracle and Bruvold com- peted with teams from Macalester, River Falls, Wis., Eau Claire, Augus- tana, 111., Hastings, Neb., and Upper Iowa University. March 24th, the team gave an exhibition before the Dickinson Rotary Club. The season was completed by the annual radio debate over KFYR, Bismarck, on March 29. The question which was discussed through the season was: Resolved: That the Congress of the United States should be empowered to fix min- imum wages and maximum hours for industry. Both teams alternated from side to side of the question. , Thirty-one First Row: Wherley, Mr. Hatch. Fuller, Houghton, Mr. Coville, Challgren. Jeskc.

CUE CLUB Under the guidance of its new director, T. A. Barnhart, Cue Club, the college dramatic organization, has climbed to new heights during the past year. Much of this success was due to the fine dramatic talent of the club’s members, of whom many were Freshmen. Although the Cue Club, in its ten years of life, has done much to fur- ther the interest in dramatics among the college students, never before has its scope been so broad. In addition to a three-act play, several one-act plays have been produced each quarter. In the Winter Quarter a new idea was initiated into the organization when Marian Robertson, one of the Club’s Senior College members, direct- ed the production of “Little Shot”, a comedy in three acts. Not satisfied with this step forward, Cue Club, in the Spring Quarter, adventured fur- ther and produced “The Test”, a three-act comedy, which was taken on a tour that covered eastern Montana and western North Dakota. This play was directed by Mr. Barnhart with the able assistance of Miss Robertson. As executive officers Cue Club elected Evro Brown, President; Edna Ilohman, Vice-President; and Zach Johnson, Secretary-Treasurer. Thirty-six Sitting: Saxowsky, Zwick, Miss Robertson (Director), Boyland. Standing: Reed. Burda. “LITTLE SHOT” Little Shot”, a three act farce by Percival Wilde, was presented by Cue Club, college dramatic organization, in Mav Hall Auditorium, March 3, 1937. The play was directed by Marian Robertson, college senior, and super- vised by T. A. Barnhart, faculty adviser for the group. Eugene Reed had the title role—the shy, unassuming business man who, because he had lost a fortune in the stock market, hired a gunman to kill him. The complications, arising from this situation, were amusingly and convincingly portrayed by the cast, which also included Mary Zwick, Phyllis Peterson, Orville Burda, Gilbert Saxowsky, and James Boyland. At the presentation of the play, which was sponsored by the Dickin- son City Band, a new cyclorama, purchased by Cue Club, was used for the first time. Thirty-seven First Row: Brown, Haagenstad, Miss Beiler, Jackson. Mr. Barnhart. Second Row: Johnson, Lee, Wentland, Miss Stoxen, E. Brown, Eckelberjc. ALPHA PSI OMEGA Alpha Psi Omega is the national dramatic fraternity of the college. Since its beginning eight years ago, it has grown steadily and for the past two years has been a member of the Gamma Xi Chapter. Each spring pledges are made from those students who have shown an interest in the field of dramatics. To qualify as a pledge the student must take part in a play production, either as a character or as a director. As the fraternity is an organization which aims to promote the highest stand- ards of dramatic art, each of its members rank among the highest in schol- arship and dramatic ability. The initiates this year were: Marion Eckelberg, Harvey Wentland, Evro Brown, and Zach Johnson. Besides being active in this fraternity, these new members have taken part in the other activities of the college and have been outstanding in several. At a dinner, given last Homecoming, the Alpha Psi Omega enter- tained its Alumni members and played host to the Cue Club. The officers elected for the year are: George Jackson, Director; Fern Haagenstad, Stage Manager; Leora Brown, Business Manager; Miss Zoe Beiler, Faculty Director.

Chosen for their merit and ability the members of the chorus have been developed into one of the out- standing musical organizations of the college. Throughout the year the chorus has taken an active part in many of the college activities. Besides having appeared for a number of assembly programs, they have co-operated with the College Orchestra on several special occasions. A Christmas program of choral selections, featuring Christmas songs, and an Easter program, are among the programs in which this organization took a part. During “Open House” the chorus assisted with the musical entertainment. At an early meeting the chorus elected the following officers: Gerald Chapin, President; Sammie Robinson, Vice-President; Helen Switzer, Sec- retary-Treasurer; Betty Hiatt, Librarian and Accompanist. Thirty-nine THE COLLEGE ORCHESTRA The College Orchestra began rehearsals under Harry Draper, with a membership of twenty-four and by October the fifteenth had prepared se- lections to play before the North Dakota Educational Association meeting at that time in the college. It played at a special assembly on Armistice Day, a special program during National Education Week, a pre-holiday evening program in December and on other special occasions. Groups of various sizes, drawn from the orchestra personnel, have performed for numerous programs, both in the college and in fraternal, church, and civic groups outside the institution. The college trio and the string quartet, each composed of regular orchestra members, have been especially active throughout the year in providing featured and incidental music for func- tions of all types. The personnel is as follows: Violins — Leone Pippin, Verlie Fisher, Lola Carpenter, Eleanor Wood- ward, Adolph Liden, Esther Larson, Oma Mills; Viola — Norma Lee; Cello — Betty Iliatt; Bass — Lyman Hiatt, LeRoy Pulver; Clarinet — Arthur Gunderson, Eugene Reed; Oboe — Robert O’Brien; Cornets — Orville Burda, Marguerite Eckes, Dugalda Langdon; Alto Horns — Myra Poole, Edna Lou Christopher; Trombone — Sammie Robinson; Percus- sion — Evro Brown; Piano — Glenn Houghton. Forty THE COLLEGE BAND After a short period of rehearsals, the College Band made its first public appearance in the Homecoming Day parade, playing later during the day for the football contest between Ellendale and DSTC. New capes and caps in the blue and gray of the school colors added much to the appear- ance of the group. With twenty members, the band, under the direction of Harry Draper, music instructor, played for succeeding contests on the field, and with the arrival of cooler weather and basketball, retired to the gymnasium to con- tinue its support of the athletic organizations. At “pep” meetings, pre- ceding games and trips of the teams, the band voiced its musical good wish- es to the contestants. A band of sufficient size and make-up for march- ing is being planned for next year. The personnel of the band includes: Cornets — Orville Burda, Dugalda Langdon, Gerald Chapin, Margue- rite Eckes, Donald Miracle; Clarinets — Warren Patterson, Arthur Gun- derson, Eugene Reed, Donald Brugameyer; Trombone — Sammie Robin- son; Saxophone — Robert O’Brien.

SCIENCE CLUB In the fall quarter of this year the young scientists of the college band- ed together to form the “Science Club”. At the first meeting the charter members elected the following officers: Paul Wherley, President; James Lyons, Vice-President; Delores Molloy, Secretary-Treasurer; and Mr. Murphy, Adviser. Much credit for the swift development of the organization goes to Mr. Murphy, the science instructor of the college, who, through a desire to see that the science students of the college broaden their knowledge of scientif- ic progress, supplied the starting impetus. The purpose of the Club is to ex- tend their research out of the realms of the textbooks into the field of re- cent development. At the bi-monthly meetings, every second and fourth Thursday, the program was composed of student projects, discussions and talks. As the organization already has a membership of twenty, it bids to become one of the foremost Clubs of the college. Forty-two First Row: Bang. Schuster. Molloy. H. Switzer, Erickson, Herauf. Reich.

HOME ECONOMICS Paralleling the accomplishments of any of the older Clubs on the Campus, the Home Economics Club, a new organization, has grown rap- idly. Formed in the Fall Quarter it has fully organized and taken an active part in the college social circle. Although the Club aims to promote a general sociability among the girls, it also, under the supervision of Miss Poole, is providing expert in- struction in weaving, knitting, and crocheting for its members. During the Spring Quarter the Club sponsored several major activi- ties. As a feature of the “Open House” celebration, the Home Economics Club presented to the visitors an exhibition of the work they have been doing during the year. Also, as a result of a questionnaire, compiled and circulated by the Home Economics Club, this year’s college catalogue of- fers suggestions as to the kind of clothing every college girl’s wardrobe should contain. Late in April the Club was granted a charter by the National Home Economics Club. The Club elected as its officers, Helen Switzer, President; Eunice Erickson, Vice-President; Hattie Stephan, Secretary-Treasurer; and Miss Poole, Adviser. Forty-three RURAL RELATIONS CLUB Any student enrolled in the Rural or the Rural-Standard Combined Curriculum is extended an invitation to become a member of this organi- zation. During the year Club meetings were held on the second Tuesday of each month. Throughout the three quarters, the attendance maintained an average of forty-two members present. Special meetings of the year included the joint meetings with the Lehigh Parent-Teachers Association and the South Heart 4-H Club. Dur- ing this Spring Quarter a committee has planned the Club’s program for next year. This program, being much more extensive, includes many invi- tations to other community-center organizations to be the guests of the Rural Relations Club. The purpose of the Club is to give the students, who are interested in Rural Education and Rural Life, an opportunity to secure a wider and deep- er knowledge of the problems that exist in the teaching field. The organi- zation is also offering leadership training to its members by electing new officers at the close of each quarter and permitting no member to hold more than one office during the school year. Forty-four DOWNTOWN GIRLS The members of this organization include girls who room down town and those who make their home permanently in Dickinson. Individual members have been very active in school affairs, especially in music, dramatics, publication, and women’s athletics. Edna Hohman and Dorothy Walters hold positions on the “Slope Teacher” and “Prairie Smoke.” Prominent members of dramatics include Marian Robertson, Norma Lee and Mary Zwick. Members of musical organizations are Dugalda Langdon, Esther Lar- son, Eleanor Redington, Marguerite Eckes, Norma Lee, Leone Pippin and Verlie Fisher. Leora Brown took an active part as President of the Women’s League, as did Myrtle Mae Bahm as President of the W. A. A. Others have taken very active parts in the women’s athletics and have shown considerable interest in all of the college activities.

SOUTH HALL South Hall, the newer of the girls' dormitories, 1ms become the scene of all small social functions and a center of gayety and entertainment for the young men and women of the college. Early in the Fall Quarter, the dining room was the scene of a banquet honoring President and Mrs. H. 0. Pippin. During Homecoming the County Superintendents’ Breakfast, the Home Economics Supervisors' Luncheon, and the Chancellors’ Dinner were served at South Hall with the boys, who board there, acting as waiters. An informal Christmas Party, December 21, and a Valentine Dance, February 12, were highlights of the Winter Quarter. Old time dancing and many impromptu programs were also enjoyed during this season. A May dance was the feature of the Spring Quarter. Approximately fifty girls make their home at South Hall. Some twenty-five boys board at the dining hall. After meals this group made use of the spacious lounge as the center of their evening’s entertainment. Miss Amy Erickson, Preceptress, is the adviser of the South Hall groups.

Built two years before May Hall, it served as a dormitory for the girls who were attending Dickinson Normal School, which was at that time conducted in the Elks Hall. Stickney Hall was named in honor of Dr. V. H. Stickney and his wife, residents of Dickinson, by a popular vote of the student body and the fac- ulty. Being a man of high ideals and a firm believer in higher education, Dr. Stickney did much for the development of our college. For the past year Stickney Hall has had about fifty college residents, who have availed themselves of the light-housekeeping facilities offered by this dormitory. Under the direction of Mrs. Mabel Nelson, house moth- er, the activities of the dormitory now approach another successful year. The officers now serving are: Charity Blackburn, President; Nadine Bock, Vice-President; and Elsie Grossman, Secretary-Treasurer. Forty-seven ATHLETES 1. At the end of the first round 2.

James Boyland, Ru- dolph Wulfsberg, and Adrian Nelson composed the Auditing Committee. The Second Annual Lettermen’s Ball was a feature of the “D” Club program. Tickets were sold to students and business people. The pro- ceeds were used to buy sweaters. “D” Club also sponsored the sale of candy in the halls and during basketball games in an effort to raise funds for sweaters. This year twelve sweaters were given to members during the football and basketball season. More may be given after the spring track season. Sweaters are given to major letter winners with their second and fourth letter and to seniors who earn their first letter after being out for the team for four years. Wedding gifts were also provided for Paul Schuyler and “Ole” Hull, members of the group who were married during the school year. Fifty-one First Row: Gunderson, Robertson, Agnew. Amdahl. F.

At Rapid City, September 25, Dickinson opened its gridiron war by battling a heavier South Dakota School of Mines team to a scoreless tie. The game was played in a driving rain, which slowed up the team’s passing attack. Schuyler and Agnew paced the Savage defense. Amdahl, Gun- derson and Wulfsberg also showed up well. Numerous fumbles and careless defense work cost the Savages a 6-0 defeat in their conference opener against Valley City, October 3. Early in the game Schuyler was severely injured and lost to the team for the re- mainder of the season. The Wiench brothers. Duck and Agnew proved most effective for the Savages. Largely because of Robertson’s passing ability the Savages eked out a 7-6 victory over the Bottineau Foresters, October 10. Midway in the last period passes to Gunderson, Bender, and Boyland carried the ball from midfield over the goal line. Robertson converted the extra point to put the Savages ahead 7-0. Shortly afterwards the Forester line blocked a punt, and Weydahl, Bottineau end, raced sixty yards for a touchdown. The Sav- age line smothered the attempted conversion. “Beaker” Joe Richey and Fifty-two “Ole” Hull were the powerhouses of the Savage defense. Bender, Boyland, Crawford, and F. Wiench also played good games. October 17, the Dickinson warriors came from behind to defeat the Ellendale Dusties 7-6 before a huge Homecoming crowd. The Dusties scored early in the second quarter on a pass to Kempf but failed to con- vert the extra point. With two minutes remaining in the final period, Roessler, substitute guard, blocked a Dustie punt. On the next play Rob- ertson tossed a twenty yard pass to Agnew, who raced through opposing tacklers to the goal. Agnew’s plunge for the extra point was so close the measuring tape had to be used to determine the winner. The defensive end play of Captain Nelson and Jimmie Boyland was a feature of the game. Wulfsberg, Roessler, and Bahr in the line, and Agnew, Robertson, Richey, and Gunderson in the backfield, were outstanding. In a game where both teams featured a skillful aerial attack, the Sav- ages lost to Minot 19 to 0. The game was much closer than the score in- dicates as the touchdowns came on breaks. In other respects the teams battled evenly. Outstanding, both defensively and offensively, was di- minutive Johnny Robertson, who kept the Savages in the game with his passes. Nelson, Boyland, Bender, Duck, and Fakler caught many of his heaves but were unable to break lose for a score. Stein, Amdahl, and F. Wiench played heads up ball. Agnew’s line plunging and defensive play proved an asset for the Savages. On Armistice Day the Savages lost a brilliant game to the Wahpeton Wildcats, 1936 Conference Champions. In the first three minutes the Savages staged a seventy yard drive to a score. Agnew carried the ball over. The try for point failed. A series of penalties and some nice run- ning gave the Cats their first score. A successful conversion put them in the lead 7 to 6. During the third quarter Wahpeton took to the air to gain their second touchdown. This made the final score 14 to 6.

Wienbergen, using six Freshmen, two Sophomores, two Juniors, and one Senior, developed a team which finished fifth in one of the closest conference races in ten years. The Savages opened their basketball season by losing to Spearfish, S. D., and to Chadron, Nebr., and by ekeing out a victory over the South Da- kota School of Mines. On their second trip of the pre-conference season the Savages split a double-header with Billings Poly., 20-26 and 20-18. The Savages dropped a 31-27 contest to an up and coming Bottineau quint in the first home game after the holidays. Reinke and Bender, Freshmen, showed promise. This game was played in the High School Gym because May Hall was being redecorated. January 16, the conference champion, Minot Beavers, stopped Dickin- son 34-21 in the Savages’ first conference game. Crawford and Robertson played their usual steady game. This game was also played at the High School. Mayville was the Savages’ first conference victim as the Blue and Grey quint outclassed and outplayed a rangy five from the east 32-30. It was Bill Fredericks, Senior star, who sewed the game up with a field goal in the last twenty seconds. No one was outstanding as all eight men play- ed heads up ball. Two more conference scalps were added to their belt as the Savages, playing superb ball, downed the EUendale Dusties in a double header 32-28 Fifty-seven BASKETBALL RESERVES First Row: Walery, Fisher.

The second of the series found the Savages hitting the hoop with ease and never once threatened by a somewhat discouraged Dusties five. On February 11 and 12 the Savages met their Waterloo, being handed a 40-15 lacing at the hands of McLeod’s Vikings and receiving a 35-15 de- feat from the Jamestown Jimmies. It was Sullivan and Bender who kept the warriors of the West in the scoring column. Inability to sink short shots proved the great weakness of the Savages as they received their second set-back of the season at the hands of Doc. Allan’s Minot five 32-7. The next night the Bottineau Foresters met the Savages in their mid- season slump and administered a 42-29 defeat. Gunderson and Amdahl furnished the scoring punch. Apparently still in their slump the Savages lost their next game to a cocky Viking quint which failed to show its previous smoothness. In their final game of the season the Blue and Grey forced a superior Jamestown club to do some fancy backcourt shooting to win 29-13. Bill Fredericks played his last game for DSTC at this time. Basketball awards were presented to Bill Fredericks, fourth letter; Gunderson, Robertson, Amdahl, and Crawford, second letter; Bender, Reinke and Sullivan, first letters. Fifty-eight TRACK Paced by Sammie Robinson, colored distance star who garnered ten points to tie for top honors, the Savage track team placed second in the North Dakota Intercollegiate Conference Track and Field Meet held at Dickinson, May 28-29, 1936. This meet, the first ever held in western North Dakota, was designated as a district Olympic Try-out Meet and was con- ducted with all the pomp and ceremony of the true Olympics. Coach H. J. Wienbergen, who designed the ceremonies and planned the meet, received a great deal of credit for the efficient manner in which the affair was handled. A hot, dirt laden wind slowed up the field and as a result only three records fell. Thorson of Mayville broke both the high and the broad jump record, and Jamestown set a new record in the mile relay To top off an afternoon of fine performances Joe Englehart of Aberdeen Normal, holder of the South Dakota championship in the sprint field, in an exhibition race stepped off the hundred yard dash in 9.7 with Kearns, Dickinson dash man and North Dakota champion, pacing him in 9.8. Point winners for Dickinson were: Sammie Rob- inson, first in mile and two mile; Clair Kearns, first in the hundred yard dash; Edwin Tuma, first in the pole vault; James Boyland, second in the two mile; Maurice Ross, third in shot and fourth in javelin; and Bill Doering, fourth in the discus. Fifty-nine First Row: Christensen, Pagenkopf, Nelson (Coach), Fuller. Second Row: Wiench, Stein. Hollinger, Johnson. “A” LEAGUE The close of the season found the A” League in a three way deadlock with Adrian Nelson’s Huskies, Norman Bahr’s Planets, and “Alky” Wiench’s Panthers, each having a record of six wins and three losses. In the play-off series, the Huskies, led by sharpshooting Pete Holling- er, swamped the Planets 27 to 16 and then, coming from behind, trounced the Panthers 27 to 15 to carry off championship honors. Members of the championship squad were: Adrian Nelson, Coach, Zach Johnson, Robert Fuller, Pete Hollinger, Charles Pagenkopf, Roljert Chris- tensen, Lynn Stein, and Francis Wiench. “Alky” Wiench and Tony Hanel led the second-place Panther squad in their unsuccessful bid for honors. Norman Bahr’s Planets, a team of individual stars such as Jerome Allan's, Dave Price and John Bach, gained an early lead in the race, but weakened at the finish to place third in the standings. Diminutive “Nip” Hagen, in spite of his stellar playing, proved un- able to pull “Ole” Hull’s disorganized Brood team into the win column. The all-star team selected by the Slope Teacher Sports Staff included: Bach, Planets, Hollinger, Huskies, forwards; Albers, Planets, center; Full- er, Huskies, and Hanel, Panthers, guards. Sixty Hagen, Hettrich. Bruvold, Hull, Dettman. Hirsch, Klein. “B” LEAGUE Winning eight out of nine games, the Flocks, coached by “Ole” Hull, finished the season with a two game lead over their nearest rival. Nip” Hagen and Joe Hettrich paced the champions in their victorious campaign. Members of the team who received medals were “Ole” Hull (Coach), “Nip” Hagen, Perry Bruvold, Jakie Hirsch, Frederick Dettman, John Klein, and Joe Hettrich. Emil Polensky and Stanley Fink set the pace for the second-place Tiger Club. Francis Wiench and Lynn Stein were the outstanding members of the weak Club team. The Stars, while never badly beaten, had the poorest season and fin- ished the race in last place. Wayne Stroup and Wilbur Sommers were the mainstays of this aggregation. The All B” League Team selected by the Sports Staff of the Slope Teacher, consisted of the following: forwards, Polensky and Fink of the Tigers; center, Hettrich, Flocks; guards, F. Wiench, Cubs, and Stroup, Stars; utility, Sommers, Stars. Sixty-one Robinson. Nasset, Wiench, Stein. Boyland, Stine. TUMBLING A typical, smooth-working tumbling team was developed again this year under student coaches, Lynn Stein and Francis Stine. The annual tumbling exhibition at the tenth district High School Basketball Tournament, which has been attracting attention throughout the Slope area, once more proved the high light of the season. Other exhibitions were given at college basketball games. Proposed exhibitions out of town had to be cancelled because of prevailing bad weather which made travel impossible. Members of the 1937 team were: Lynn Stein, Francis Stine, Francis Wiench, Sammie Robinson, Marcus Nasset, and James Boyland. 1937 FOOTBALL SEASON (Continued From Page Fifty-three) Captain Adrian Nelson, Rudolph Wulfsberg, Royal Rounds, Lynn Stein, Duane Muth and Gerald Chapin, playing their last games for the Blue and Grey, turned in outstanding performances. At the close of the season Francis Wiench, Sophomore guard, was rec- ognized as the outstanding lineman in the conference. His steady defen- sive play and brilliant blocking earned him this honor. Johnny Robertson, Sophomore quarterback, was awarded a position on the second All-Confer- ence team. Coach H. J. Wienbergen awarded letters to the following men: Amdahl, Boyland, Hull, and Nelson, third letter; Crawford, Robertson, Richey, Tuma, A. Wiench, F. Wiench, Stein, Wulfsberg, and Rounds, sec- ond letter; Chapin, Duck, Agnew, Gunderson, Muth, Bahr, Bender, and Fakler, first letter. Sixty-t wo First Row: Conrath, Sayler, Parr. Johnson. Pfeifer, Brugermeyer, L. Leder. Second Row: JesUe (Coach). Repetowski, W. Leder, Walkins. Schaff, Landeis. Basaraba. BOXING Student coach, Walter Jeske, has developed boxing to the point where it is assuming a major role in the extra-curricular program of the college. Ralph Parr and Reinhold Pfeifer, who won the State Golden Gloves titles in their weights, were the outstanding members of the squad, but other members proved effective in the two exhibitions which the team staged at the college. RALPH PARR Featherweight At the climax of the season the boxing team entered the first North Dakota Intercol- legiate meet at Valley City, May 5. In order to promote the in- terests of boxing a club was organized with Ralph Parr as President; Reinhold Pfeifer, Vice-President; Henry Lan- deis. Secretary; William Leder, Treasurer; Paul John- son, Business Promoter; and H. J. Wienbergen, Faculty Adviser. REINHOLD PFEIFER Welterweight Sixty-three W. A. A. The Women’s Athletic Association is an organization for those girls who have an interest in athletics. Through this organization the women of the college find the expression of their interest in sports. Besides a de- sire to increase their own physical efficiency these women endeavor to stimulate an interest in athletics and to promote the qualities of sports- manship and sociability. During the different seasons the women receive, from Miss Campbell, the physical education instructor of the college, instructions in volleyball, basketball, kittenball, tennis, archery, ping-pong, horseshoe, and clogging. During the past three quarters W.A.A. has sponsored various athletic and social activities. The Fall and Spring Quarters evolved “steak and hamburger” frys, sunlight hops, hikes, and picnics; the Winter Quarter’s chief activity was centered around the basketball and volleyball tourna- ments. As evidence of its athletic prowess, the organization sponsored one of the college assemblies, whose program listed tap dancing, folk danc- ing, tumbling, and a short basketball game. W.A.A. elected as its officers: Myrtle Mae Bahm, President; Frances Lou Freeman, Vice-President; Dorothy Walters, Secretary-Treasurer; and Miss Campbell, Adviser. Sixty-four hiah schoo. MRS. NELL ROBINSON Director of Model Hljch MODEL HIGH Established on the quarterly basis in connection with the college, the Dickinson Model High School has proved to be an educational opportunity which is of great value to that group of rural and urban children who find themselves unable to attend school for the full year. Since the Fall Quarter of 1934, Model High has operated under the rating of a First Class High School. Each year the High School takes a broader interest in the activities of the institution. The students of Model High take part in the following activities: High School Men’s Union, High School Dramatic Club, High School Glee Club, Football, Basketball, and Track. A greater enthusiasm than ever before is being shown by the High School student himself in group organization and cooperation. All of which gives the student an opportunity for a more interesting school life. Under the guidance of Mrs. Nell Robinson, the High School’s adviser, Model High is showing a rapid growth and development. Sixty-six Bang, Thelma—Oakdale may II. s.

Sixty-seven MODEL - HI ANNUAL STALL THE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR CLASS The Senior Class has made a record this last year of which it may well be proud. Many of its members belonged to the High School Glee Club and the High School Dramatic Club. A Senior Class play, entitled “Sparkin’ was also produced. The cast of this play included Stewart Peterson, Magdalen Hertz, Eileen Skidmore, and Jeanne Cuskelly. Much credit is due Harvey Wentland, college sen- ior, who had charge of the production. The Senior Class, at its first meeting, elected the following officers for the year: Willard Scott, President; Morris Gerbig, Vice-President; Jeanne Cuskelly, Secretary-Treasurer. Atone of the later meetings the class decided on “Forward ever; backward never” for the class motto; and “Purple and Gold” for the class colors. Sixty-eight HIGH SCHOOL LOWER CLASSES This year for the first time the high school lower classes were organ- ized as separate units. Members of all classes were active in the High School Glee Club, the High School Dramatic Club, and in High School ath- letics. The Juniors, with Magdalen Hertz as President; Joseph Fedora, Vice- President; and Ella Duckwitz as Secretary-Treasurer, sponsored Model High’s first Junior-Senior banquet late in the Winter Quarter. The Junior Class was also active in preparing programs for the High School Assembly. The Sophomores elected Leone Anderson, President; Helen Olson, Vice-President; Hose Schepper, Treasurer; Almeda Osegesky, Secretary; and George Urbanec, Sergeant-at-arms. This group assisted at the Junior- Senior banquet by serving as waiters. They also prepared some of the High School Assembly programs. Virgil Ueetz, President; Mildred Kostelecky, Vice-President; and Ed- ward Kovash, Secretary-Treasurer, were the officers of the Freshman Class. The principal activity of this group was a series of class meetings at which the fundamentals of parliamentary procedure were studied. Sixty-nine if I I t ' tI it f t A5J r I i � ?

V, HIGH SCHOOL MEN’S UNION The high school Men’s Union, an organization to which all high school men automatically belong upon going through the initiation exercises, just finished its second year. It was formed for the purpose of keeping both the college and the high school interests as separate relations. Rudolph Wulfsberg, a college senior, acted as adviser for the high school group. With his help the organization made a commendable record for itself during the past year. Probably the greatest activity engaged in was the initiation ceremon- ies, which, with the cooperation of the College Men’s Union, was a huge success. The junior organization organized a flower committee to send flowers to sick members and friends of the group. The Union met several times and at its first meeting the following offi- cers were elected: Willard Scott, President; Joe Fedora, Vice-President; and John Knopik, Secretary-Treasurer. The outlook for next year is encouraging at the present time, and the high school Men’s Union should make itself an outstanding organization of the high school. Seventy First Row: Zimmerman, Jacobson, Kubik, Miss Robertson (Director), Duckwitz, Nichenko. Hertz. Second Row: I. Smith, N. Smith, Knopik, Hanson, Reich, Bang. ACTIVE HI’S “Active Ili's” was the name selected for the High School Dramatic Club which was organized during the fall quarter under the supervision of T. A. Barnhart. Officers elected by the group were: Frank Kubik, President: Andrew Nichenko, Vice-President; and Ella Duckwitz, Secre- tary-Treasurer. Marian Robertson, a college senior who has been outstanding in dra- matic work, was chosen to act as adviser for the group. Under her direc- tion the club produced several one act plays. A number of pantomimes were also worked out during the season. During the Spring quarter a picnic was held for all members of the “Active Hi’s.” Seventy-one HIGH SCHOOL GLEE CLUB Last fall the first High School Glee Club was organized under the guid- ance of Miss Juanita Vance. The club is designed to give all students of the high school who are interested in voice training an opportunity to im- prove. Magdalen Hertz was chosen secretary of the new group and has been responsible for all of the organization's business. Thus far the club has not been very active, but, as it becomes more experienced, it is expected to assume its position as one of the major activities of the high school.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL With five lettermen forming: the nucleus of his squad, Coach Bill Fred- ericks developed a hard-fighting, aggressive team, which, at times, played nearly perfect ball, but which seemed incapable of maintaining its winning stride. The Model High Cagers dropped their first three conference tilts, but came back with a rush to win the last four. In the tenth district tournament, the Papooses placed third by winn- ing from Assumption Abbey, 20 to 13, dropping a close 23-22 decision to Belfield in the semi-finals, and downing Halliday 27-22 in the consolation finals. A silver trophy was awarded the team for this achievement. Steward Peterson was selected as guard on the second all district team, and Edwin Jose received honorable mention. Both these men are seniors who have been playing excellent ball for the High School during the past two seasons. At the close of the season letters were awarded to Morris Gerbig, cap- tain, Frank Kubik, Edwin Jose, Stewart Peterson, Fred Deiters, William Hanson, Donald Hanson, and Jack Krank. Seventy-three HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL This year, with the supervision of H. J. Wienbergen and under the direction of Student Coach William Fredericks, six-man football was added to the list of high school extra-curricular activities. Because the sport is comparatively new in this section and because of the necessity of training the boys from the very bottom up, only a short season was attempted. However, much work was done in laying the foun- dation to make this sport a permanent addition to the high school program. Since this was the first time football has been played in Model Hi since the eleven man game was abandoned six years ago, Coach Fredericks spent the major portion of the season in training his men in fundamentals of blocking and tackling. On October 19, the Papooses engaged in their first game. Playing in a blinding snowstorm, the Model Hi team lost to Sentinel Butte by a score of 19 to 6. The veteran Sentinel Butte club scored their 19 points in the first half. In the last half, the Papooses settled down and forced the Butte boys back to their own goal. German, center, blocked a punt and fell on it over the goal line for the Papooses’ score. November 5 the Model Hi team once more battled Sentinel Butte in the final game of the season. A safety, caused by inexperience, proved the margin of victory as Sentinel Butte won 9-7. With the score 9 to 0 against them, the Papooses put up a game and determined last half fight. Starting with Krank’s recovery of a Butte fumble on the 26 yard line, the touchdown drive carried the ball over the goal in two plays. A pass, Kubik to Basaraba, brought the ball to the seven yard stripe. On the next play Krank plunged over for the counter. Kubik converted the extra point to make the score 9-7.. Members of the team were: Captain Frank Kubik, quarterback; Jack Krank, left half-back; Joe Fedora, right half-back; John German, center; Andy Nichenko, right end; William Klym, left end. Reserves included Stewart Peterson, Willard Scott, Mike Ilaniuk, Ernest Twist, John Basara- ba, and Orris Bang. HIGH SCHOOL TRACK Previous to this year, Model High has not developed a track team. This year, plans are rapidly moving forward toward a fine team. With Kubik and Beaudoin as outstanding contenders, Model High expects to develop a powerful team this year. Last year Kubik won the half mile honors at Dickinson and later competed in the Capital City meet at Bis- marck. With such good material the High School Track Team may anticipate a most successful season. Seventy-four 1. A Homecoming get-together 2. Camped before the college 3. Chief and Princess 4.

After a short pow-wow, during which the council of the wise War Chiefs was heard, the Savages, equipped with well conditioned lungs, serenaded the citizens of downtown Dickinson with a snake dance and blood-curdling warwhoops. Encouraged by the prompt appearance of the made-to-order celebra- tion weather, Phi Sigma Pi fraternity welcomed its Alumni members with a breakfast. At exactly 10 a.m. a parade of thirty-five units, representing the dif- ferent student organizations and the various departments of the college, exhibited its creations to an approving audience.

What a thriller Quarterback Robertson and Halfback Agnew staged for the clamoring throng in that 35 yard pass that went for a touchdown. Great was the uproar when, after the try for point, the officials, having uncovered the goal line by minute measuring, declared the ball over the line. When the whistle blew a short time later the Savages had attained the distinction of actually winning a game by inches. The final score was: Savages 7; Ellendale Dusties 6. Boasting of the largest attendance ever attained in the history of the organization, the Alumni Association entertained its members and guests with a banquet and program from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. The honor guests of the banquet were President and Mrs. H. O. Pippin. As a final touch to a successful reunion, a Homecoming Dance and Party was held in the evening in the May Hall Auditorium. This was the crowning social function of the day. Old friends joined together in one big evening of music and dancing and when the orchestra struck up “Home Sweet Home” all agreed in pronouncing this Homecoming to be the best ever. COMMENTS OF THE STAFF We thank the members of the administration, the student body, the Engraving Company, and the Dickinson Press for their contributions which have helped to make this “Prairie Smoke” a success. The preparation of this book has been a pleasure to the staff and it is the sincere hope of every member of the staff that this book may keep alive the memories of the things done in the last year. The business staff of the 1937 Prairie Smoke acknowledges its grati- tude to the business firms which have given their financial support to this year book, and urges students, alumni, and faculty members to give these firms their patronage.
