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.

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.
