Dickinson State University - Prairie Smoke Yearbook (Dickinson, ND)

Text from Pages 1 - 102 of the 1939 volume:

OUR ALMA MATER Nature gives beauty to every season of the year. From morning to night, from moon to moon is a ceaseless succession of mysterious changes, representing progress in the fuller developement of natural phenomena. A process of continuous unfolding takes place. The desire for knowledge leads man to search for and reveal the unknown. He burrows into every store house of material things in his efforts to enrich his life and to in- crease his power to accomplish something worth while during his short span of years upon earth. To the State Teachers College, located on Signal Butte, the youth of the Southwest- ern Slope Area have wended their way for fifteen years in search of fact. Here, where life long friendships are formed he finds himself in an educational laboratory, a mecca of learning. Here he “Enters to learn and departs to serve.” So learning shall add beauty to life and to soul. May the College on Signal Butte so influence the lives of the young people that the Alumni of D. S. T. C. shall be known for their splendid work and strength of character. Exercise every latent talent in order that you may serve more fully the needs of hu- manity. Whoever acts upon what he knows will soon come to know more. DEDICATION To HARRISON OTTO PIPPIN To him who so loyally and untiringly worked for the development of our institution; to him who has given years of service to education; to him who has been not only a counselor but a friend to every student. We, in sincere appreciation of his friendly advice and cooperation, dedicate the 1939 Prairie Smoke to Harrison Otto Pippin. FOREWORD We sincerely hope that as the pages of this book are turned from cover to cover memories of this year's work, play and friendships, will return. We have endeavored to present in a pictorial and editorial way a volume which will be a treasure house of events of the school year of 1938 and 1939. PRAIRIE SMOKE STAFF 1939 E. S.

THREE CORNERED MOON The ‘Three Cornered Moon” records the story of the Rimplegars who, exchanging witticisms with the depression, found Elizabeth Rimplegar, lacking more serious things to worry about, cultivating a naive “weltsch- merz” and plans suicide with her immature novelist fiance. When Mother Rimplegar announced the collapse of the family fortune, Elizabeth and her family were almost lost until Alan Stevans assumes a mild dictatorship and makes them go to work. Sobered by the sanity and sweetness of liv- ing by working, Elizabeth becomes dissatisfied with Donald who is irre- sponsible. Even the mad Rimplegars have learned to adopt more realistic standards of living without giving up their peculiar humor and innate flippancy. It is a comedy drama in three acts written by Gertrude Ton- konogy and presented by the Cue Club, March 16th, under the direction of Harriet Rother. Students taking part, both in characterization and production, were: Miriam Miller, Pat Tobin, Marcus Nasset, Marianne Norheim, Laurence Goebel, Erling Nasset, Sarah Bashara, Amy Redington, Robert King, Richard Haring, Louis Lautz, William Kupper, Wilma Freer, Mary Meule- mans, Opal McCullough.

BASKETBALL A somewhat improved DSTC basketball team finished another erratic season of conference play in time for the cellar position in one of the fast- est conference races in many years. The Savages opened their season in a Round-Robin tourney at Dick- inson defeating Hillings Normal 46-27 and losing to Ellendale 33-34 and Billings Poly 30-34. At Rapid City the Savages encountered the South Dakota Miners and dropped a slow game 29-37. The following night the Savages, in a last minute rally, came through to ruin the Spsarfish five’s debut 44-41. Glendive’s Independent team, in the first of a two-game series, dropped a wild scoring game to Dickinson 72-41, and in the week follow- ing at Glendive lost to Wienbergen’s men 53-42. The Savages opened their Hillings invasion with a 69-35 victory over an improved Eastern Montana Normal and lost to the smooth working Poly quint 35-29. The Minot Beavers, dark horses for N.D.I.C., hit the Savages and were saved by the gun. The score was 49-48. After besting the Jimmies for two-thirds of the January 19 game, the Wienbergen men fumbled and stumbled their lead of 7 points away and saw the Jimmies turn in a three point victory with a score of 38-35. In one of the fastest games ever seen on the Valley City Court for many years, Dickinson defeated a well-balanced Viking five 45-41 for then- second conference victory for two years. January 26 saw the Savages come back after a putrid first-half perform- ance to down the Bottineau Foresters 44-37. A highly touted Mayville five came west to give the Savages a lesson in basketball to the tune of 61-54.

The Savages opened their season with a 35-0 defeat at the hands of the powerful Rapid City school of Mines at Rapid City, South Dakota. In their first home game the Dickinson squad dropped a hotly-con- tested game to the Ellendale Dusties by a 6-0 score. Before a large Homecoming crowd the Savage eleven, after pushing their Valley City opponents around for the first half of the game, saw their defense crumble as the Viking Machine rolled up a 20-0 score. As guests of the Bottineau Forester Homecoming, the Savages showing burst of power combined with speed thoroughly humbled the For- ester eleven 19-0. Playing before a capacity Homecoming crowd at Minot the following weekend, the Savage gridiron machine held their favored Beaver oppon- ents to a scoreless tie. The DSTC squad finished their season with a home game against the highly-touted Billings Poly eleven which managed to garner a scoreless tie after having completely outplayed by the Savages.

In a poor defensive game, the Savages romped over the Yellow Jackets of Spearfish 70-17 to win the second of a two-game series. “Erraticity” gripped the Savages in the second period of the Wahpe- ton Science though leading the game in the first half. Dickinson dropped the game 36-42. In the last conference game of the 1939 season, the Savages fell be- fore a fighting Ellendale crew that assumed the lead the first three minutes and made it grow into a 36-47 victory. The star-studded Bismarck Phantoms captured an interesting series with the Savages 60-51 and 70-49. The only other games during the 1938-39 season were the exhibition games with the Milwaukee line coaches and with the Tenth District Coaches, the scores for the games, both of which were won by the Savages, were: 52-25 and 31-16. 939 PPAIPIE SMOKE Fifty-seven First Row: Leder, Sayler, Parr, Tkachenko.

Members of the squad were: Orville Dodge, Maurice Hardy, Bill Hintz, Bill Leder, Murl Light, Erling Nasset, Ralph Parr, Leo Sayler, Rodney Shoen, and Lonny Tkachenko. The Savage squad opened their schedule against Fort Lincoln, winning six bouts and losing three. In a return engagement at Bismarck, the Savage boxers were snowed under, losing all nine bouts. Next the boxing team engaged Ellendale at Dickinson, winning seven out of nine fights. The feature of this meet was a knockout by Juelke of Ellendale in the first fifty seconds of the first round. A return meet in Ellendale found the Savages winning only three out of their eight scheduled fights. PPAI151E SMOKE 1939 Fifty-eight TUMBLING Eddie Fischer, Francis Wiench, Roy Coville, Norman O’Bryan, Marcus Nasset, Edward Kovash and Edwin Sather composed the 1939 DSTC tumbling team. Two of the outstanding perform- ances given by the crack tumbling team were at the Tenth District Basketball tournament held at Dick- inson, and on Senior Day. The team was coached by Eddie Fischer and developed into a remark- ably smooth-working squad. TRACK Six lettermen and thirty-eight candidates will form the dark horse track team in the North Dakota Intercollegiate Conference race this year. Two questions will arise, namely, Can the Savages hold their first division rating without their flashy negro star? Can Ed Tuma break his record of thirteen feet? The first indication of the potential strength of the Savages will be shown April 23 when they journey to Jamestown for a quadruple meet. On May 6 Minot will meet Dickinson at Dickinson. The DSTC team will leave May 11 for the University of North Dakota meet. The following week they will go to Minot for a return encounter and May 25-26 they will battle for the NDIC crown at Jamestown. Members of the squad are: Ed Tuma, E. Bauers, J. Hettrich, T.

Among its major activities of the year were the sponsoring of the Tenth District Basketball Tournament held March 2-3-4 and the Missouri Slope Track Meet held in the spring quarter. Throughout the year the “D” Club sold candy in the halls and during games to earn money which was used to purchase sweaters for the men who have won two or four letters in any sport. The fourth annual formal was held in the spring. The officers for the year are as follows: Frank Stumpf, President; and Joseph Hettrich, Secretary and Treasurer. PPAIPIE SMOKE v '.a- 1939 Sixty IVER I. GRINDSTUEN I rinri|� itl HIGH SCHOOL During the past year Model High has assumed a place of prominence in the institution, as well as in the surrounding Slope area. Much credit is due the untiring efforts of Mr. Grindstuen. Under the capable supervision of Mr. Grindstuen, the Girls’ Athletic Association, Active Highs, the Glee Club, and the Pep Squad have functioned more than ever before. A new organization, the Science Club, was added to the social register of Model High. The members of the student body participated in every division of the declamation contests held in New Salem and Beach on February 28 and March 22. It is largely due to Mr. Grindstuen’s interest that Model High has gradually climbed the ladder of prominence. As a teacher and educational administrator for twenty-three years in Kelfield High School, in Beach High School and three years at Model High, he is well acquainted with the conditions of the schools of the Slope Area giving him experience in lead- ing the school to a higher pinnacle of success and importance.

Model Hi”, which was sailing to foreign shores, sounded at 6:30 on February 15. Officers, crew and passengers hurried in the direction of the ship’s dining room. At the Captain’s table was the Ship’s Toastmaster, Peter Schmidt, on duty for the junior class to welcome the graduates, faculty and other guests. Sailor Hubert Knopik, a member of the junior class, gave a talk on “Assuming Leadership”. The senior’s response, “Our Voyage”, was given by Shipmate Elizabeth Miller. A hearty “Bon Voyage” was ex- tend to the seniors by Acting President E. S. Hatch. The menu for the first meal on board ship was as follows: “Sailor’s Warning”, “Shark Steak”, “Sea Weeds”, “Ocean Spray”, “Anchors”, “Life Preservers”, “White Caps on the Waves” and “Sailor’s Delight.” Music, which was coming from the upper deck, summoned the passengers and crew to an evening of dancing.

Anyone in the high school is permitted to become a member who shows enthusiasm, loyalty, and sportsmanship. Every member of the group showed an excellent spirit of support. They encouraged the boys when their chances of winning were challenged and continued their support when the team was winning. But what did the cheer leaders do? They led the yells and did a com- mendable piece of work. However, without the splendid cooperation of the members the activities of the squad would not have been successful and the support to the teams at a low ebb.

Paul Schuyler and Genevieve Switzer, the students’ choice for Chief and Princess, were ceremoniously recognized in a solemn ritual at May Hall. The bonneting and head-banding, the recognition dance to the awesome cadences of a tom-tom, passing of the peace pipe and the final salute of the new leaders gave an air of dignity and solemnity to the occas- ion. After the ceremony the entire student body and our Homecoming guests were taken down to the field east of May Hall where a huge bonfire had been kindled by the High School boys. Rallying around the magnifi- cent blaze, the crowd sang the school songs and yelled the college yells. Fol- lowed by the formation into a single line, the Snake dance tracked through the downtown area and finished in front of the depot platform for the final speeches and pep rally. The Savages, representing the college on the gridiron the next day, were presented and accorded cheers by the entire assemblage. Short snappy talks were given by former athletes and by the Chief and Princess. Saturday morning, with a cooling breeze blowing out of the northwest, promising fine weather for the Viking Savage pigskin clash in the after- noon, witnessed the Homecoming parade, the colorful event of the fes- tivities. The long assembly of paper streamered cars, prancing horses, and excited students, led by the Chief and Princess, wended its way through the business section and residential area of Dickinson.

That one is Martha Washington, wife of George Washington, our first president. Each year the women of the college endeavor, in a small way, to pay homage to the memory of Martha Washington. On Saturday afternoon, February 18, from three until five o’clock, the women entertained their mothers, housemothers and other friends at the annual Washington Tea. Carried out in an atmosphere of spring, the table and room were decorated with vases of orchid and light rose tulips and sweetpeas. In the receiving line were: Leila G. Woods, Dean of Women; Zoe Beiler, Adviser; Genevieve Switzer, Mrs. Powers, Assistant Matron of South Hall; Mary Meulemans and Ruth Cox, each gowned in a costume of the Revolutionary period. Ella Duckwitz, Treasurer; Anne Kluksdal, Vice President; and Sarah Bashara, Secretary, poured during the afternoon. During the hours when tea was served the room was ever wreathed in the strains of soft harmonious instrumental music arranged for by Miriam Miller. Eighty-one STICKNEY HALL Stickney Ilall is the oldest of the dormitories on the campus and was completed in 1921, two years before May Hall was built, and housed the girls who attended the Dickinson Normal School conducted in the Elks Building. For the past year Stickney Hall has provided facilities for light house- keeping for about fifty college residents. Under the guidance of Mrs. Ellen Olson, Matron and Housemother, the girls have enjoyed many social functions, among which were the formal dancing parties held in the Little Gym at May Hall. Stickney Ilall was named in honor of Dr. V. H. Stickney and his wife, former residents of Dickinson, by a popular vote of the student body and faculty. The officers are: Norma Smith, President: Helen Olson, Secretary- Treasurer. SOUTH HALL South Hall is the newest of the girls’ dormitories on the DSTC campus providing a temporary home for the women of the college. South Hall is a center of gayety and entertainment for the young men and women of the college. Under the guidance of Leila G. Woods, Dean of Women and Matron and Mrs. Powers, Assistant Matron, the girls were given every op- portunity to participate in social functions. A Hallowe’en party, Thanks- giving dinner, several formal dancing parties were among the social activi- ties of South Hall. The Women’s League was hostess at the annual Wash- ington Tea held in the parlors on February 18. The annual reception for graduates was held in the spring quarter. The officers elected for the year were: Eileen Lyons, President; Ruth Nunn, Vice President, and Mary Meulemans, Secretary-Treasurer. Pi?AIPIE SMOKE 1939 Eighty-two 1.

SENIOR DAY With the coming of spring each year, plans are made to write into the class histories of the various senior classes of the Slope Area an unforget- able page of entertainment spiced with many interesting educational fea- tures. That page was dated April 26, 1939. High schools from far and near were represented at the college. All college students on Senior Day were hosts or hostesses and made every ef- fort possible to show each and every senior guest the various departmental displays and exhibits in which they may be interested and to make them feel at home. The work of seve.al departments was exhibited in the assembly at which the visito!” were welcomed by prominent members of the college. As a grand finale to a festive occasion an informal mixer was given at May Hall. Seniors were given the privilege of asking any college student for introductions to any of the interesting features they had observed dur- ing the course of the day. Such wishes were considered commands. We sincerely enjoy putting our college on display for the Seniors and may many return to enjoy and appreciate its benefits as we do.

She said “1 Double Dare You” to “Come to Me My Melancholy Baby” and “Stop Beatin’ Round the Mulberry Bush.” I said, “It’s a Sin to Tell a Lie”, but “You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby”, “You Got Me”. She said “Jeepers Creepers” “I Go For That” “Heart and Soul”. 1 said, They Say” “I Never Had a Chance”, so “Lady Be Good”, “There’s a Faraway Look in Your Eyes”. She said, “You’re The Object of My Affections”, so “What's the Reason I’m Not Pleasin’ You”? You’re “A Little Bit Independent” so “How Long Will it Last”? Then I got “Angry” and said, “Small Fry”, maybe “You Go to My Head”, but you’re still a “Goofus”. So she said, “I Won’t Tell a Soul I Love You”, because “My Heart Belongs to Daddy”, and “I Get Along Without You Very Well”. “Get Out of Town.” PPAIBIE SMOKE Eighty-six 1939 INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Intra-mural Basketball was again organized into two Leagues, with six teams to a League. Later the “Jokers” in the “A” League was disbanded due to injuries to several members of the squad. The “Phantoms” won the A” League title without dropping a game on their schedule. Mem- bers of the winning team were: M. Hardy, G. Reinke, Z. Johnson, O. Hedge, P. Tobin, E. Baker and M. Nasset. Of this group four of the members were among the League’s ten leading scorers. High scoring honors in the “A” League went to Harry Fjosne, with 71 points or an average of 11.8 points a game. In the “B League the “Cubs,” bolstered by the addition of Joe Het- trich, from the disbanded “Jokers” of the “A” League, won the top honors by defeating the Easy Aces” in a play-off game. The “Cubs” consisted of C. Spalding, J. Hettrich, P. Brown, Kuller, G. Aase, B. Hanson, and V. Hoemer. Ulrich, of the third place “Jitterbugs,” led the League scor- ing with 62 points, closely followed by G. Aase of the “Cubs” who garnered 61 points.
