Dh recognition ejf her contribution tc TC aj a librarian and a teacher, tee dedicate The I9$d Prairie £ fit eke tc Matilda . £tcxen In 1926, a new librarian, Matilda Stoxen, came to DSTC. However the school wos not newto her because she had been one of the first stu- dents. She enrolled September 30, 1918, and be- came a Standard graduate in 1920. She then taught for a few years and attended the Univer- sity of Minnesota receiving her Bachelor of Science Degree. Besides being Librarian and teaching English she originated the Cue Club and was in charge of Dramatics for many years. The library consisting of only a tew stacks when she came, has been built under her direction to the fine library we have today. Miss Staxen has also been active in many local and national organization pertaining to music and library work. She has traveled exten- sively in the United States and Europe. She is an excellent speaker and writer. ___i___ Who Who in American and tilth BERTHA GEIGER, JOHN HLEDIK, CATHERINE KUYLEN, MATT LARDY, NANCY RABE, BEVERLY WILEY and ROBERT WILKENS were the seniors selected for recognition in the notional publication, WHO's WHO IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. The group as a whole represents almost every organiza- tion in school; from sports to music to student government. Students for WHO'S WHO are selected by the faculty mem- bers and student council officers on the basis of leadership, promise of future usefulness to society, scholarship and par- ticipation in activities. Names and biographical moterial on the seven students were printed in the WHO'S WHO publication and engraved certificates were to be presented to them at the annual awards assembly in the spring.

Now, in one week we will graduate. Some of us just got by, some of us fell by the wayside, and some of us had the drive to become the out- standing members of our class. As I look back. Mom, I know that these years were some of my best. Those who made them that way are so numerous—the instruc- tors who guided and directed our efforts, the students before us who understood and helped us, the students after us who needed under- standing and guidance—everyone around us who helped us grow socially, physically, and mentally...

The four chief sports are football, basketball, track and tennis. We compete in each sport in the NDIC conference. This past year we did not do too well in football having only two wins in conference competition. Our season's record was two wins and five losses, but three of those five losses could have gone either way with a few more breaks in our favor. Our football team was comprised mostly of freshmen ond sophomores and we lose only four players by graduation. In other words we should be a strong contender for the conference title this fall. The boys really fought and were well coached by Mr. Lothrop. In fact, we placed two men on the all-conference team. They were sophomore Chuck Wilz and freshman Mokey Dinius. We are going to miss our captain, Bud Dire. Bud really hod the spirit. He hnted to lose ond he gave everything he had inside himself. He broke his nose almost every game we played. At times he was playing with a broken nose and no one knew about it. I'm sure he was one of the best captains to come out of DSTC. We're proud of Bud and the whole team. If Uncle Sam doesn't grab most of our boys we'll be hearing about them this coming fall. The new coptains are Pudge Beaudoin and Chuck Wilz. Cur basketball team had the town excited. We won twelve straight games without a loss. I never saw a team with such an urge to win. Every student in the college was at the games yelling for the Savages. I'll never forget the game when we were gunning for our thirteenth straight win. You know, Dad, I might believe that number thirteen is unlucky. We were ahead until about two minutes of the game were left. Our luck turned all of a sudden and we lost to BJC. Incidentally, they won the conference title. The defeat turned the tide on us. We finished at a .500 mark for conference competition. That was better than the experts thought we would do as we had such a green team. I never saw a more spirited bunch of boys play basketball. They were captained by Bob Wilkens from New Salem and he held the team together and was a fine leader. Bob is also quite a favorite on the campus. His striking personality won him the role of Homecoming Chief. Bob will be missed tremendously for his fine leader- ship. By the way Dad, our coach, Harry Wienbergen, was celebrating his twenty-fifth year at DSTC. It was a happy anniversary, as Hcrry was proud of his boys. They tried hard to give Mr. Wienbergen a conference cham- pionship for his anniversary present. In track we're expected to be pretty tough. The team is captained by Joe Wax, an excellent miler. We are expecting our promising freshmen to strengthen the team considerably. Our tennis team has all its members back from last year's conference champions. Last year we swept through the conference with ease and with the same team we hope to do the same thing. They are captained by Bob Wilkens, the state singles champion. Our school intramural program is having its basketball tournament now, so I have to hurry over to Scott gym. I'll write later if I can. We're playing the Tonners today. Your son . . .

Savage in Savages Drop Final Home Game To Mayville Dickinson State Teachers col- lege Savages dropped their final home game of the season Friday evening to Mayville 14-0 here. Twice in the third quarter, a Dickinson receiver in the end zone haa the slippery ball spurt from his fingers to change potential touchdowns into incompleted pas- ses. It was a muddy field, spotted with pools of water.

Long gains of the Savages in pil- ing up eight first downs and four touchdowns counteracted 13 first downs collected by the Foresters. ROBERT DELANEY MIKE SAFRATOWICH BUD DIRE plunged across from the two-yard line in the first per- iod to open Dickinson’s scoring. In the second, Mokey Dinius took a hand-off’ from Bill Wiley and went 28 yards to pay dirt. Francis Flynn booted one over the cross bars for the extra point. In the third stanza, Dinius hit Jack Kreitinger with a pass that was good for 23 yards and another six points. The kick by Flynn made it seven for a total of 20. Another pass, Dinius to Joe Wax, for 14 yards conclued the scoring. The kick was blocked. DINIUS and Dire set the pace for the Savages on the offense and Ed Kessel and Charlie Wilz were the sparkplugs on defense. Saturday, the Savages play Mi- not State Teachers College here in the Dickinson State Teachers Col- lege Homecoming game. TED SANDERS —64— BERNARD SCHULTZ EDWIN KADRMAS DON RUDIE Lothropmen Down Ellendale Dusties In Season Finale After being in serious trouble most of the first period, the Dick- inson State Teachers college Sav- ages got a hig lift out of Susie Kuntz's 96 yard touchdown run and went on to win their last foot- ball game of the season 12 to 0 Saturday. The game was played at Ellendale. With Ellendale Normal being the loser. Kuntz, playing his last game for Savages, scored the only touch- down of his college career when he intercepted a pass on his own four and sprinted all the way to the end zone. SOME EFFECTIVE blocking cleared the way for his run. “When 1 got the ball, I looked around.” Kuntz recalled. “And mere were about seven of our guy running along with me. Everytime a Dustie showed up. a Savage took him out.” Another senior. Jack Kreitinger, made the fin9l block down near the Ellendale goal line.

The two top pictures show Princess Vesta and Chief Bob taking the headdresses from the old chief and princess, as indication of their new reign. Indian leaders never give their powers away. The powers must be taken. The old chief and princess were represented by Robert Dire and Catherine Kuylen. The third picture down the line was taken at the banquet. It was at this time that the alumni association honored Miss Maude Klinefelter by renaming South Hall after her. Pictured left to right are Miss Klinefelter, Frank Whitney, Mrs. Whitney, and Arnold Arneson. Harry Weinbergen announced the change of name and then Mr. Arneson of the State Board of Higher Education made it official. The pictures at the bottom of the page were taken at the Homecoming dance. The lounge and cafeteria were decorated with Indian drawings. Part of the decoration can be seen behind the people in the lower left picture. Bill Tarpo was in charge of the floor show for the dance. He ond his cast are shown in the lower right picture in their version of Shake- speare's Hamlet. After a hard battle in the Homecoming game the Savages ended on the bottom side of a 7 to 6 score. From this picture of the fellows on the bench it looks os if it were an exciting game . . . And it was, too.

When Mrs. Robinson came to DSTC in 1926, the school was only eight years old. Its growth and development have been in no small part the result of her work, her enthus- iasm and her devotion to the students and their needs. For many years we of Model High School have claimed Mrs. Robinson as our own. She supervised all the English courses and directed many of the associated activities in Model. Always a staunch supporter of athletics, she was there on the sidelines, cheering for a good performance whether the team won or lost. Through her varied interests and experi- ences Mrs. Robinson enriched the lives of her students. Her recent trips to Chicago for the Republican National convention and to Wash- ington for President Eisenhower's inauguration brought the affairs of our government very close to us. We saw our country through her eyes. Of her Alma Mater, the University of Min- nesota, Mrs. Robinson is extremely proud. Her B.A. degree and her graduate work were both taken there. When Mrs. Robinson announced her re- tirement from teaching in the spring of 1953, every student in Model High felt a personal loss. Our only solace was her promise to visit us occasionally. At an assembly held in her honor the last day of her service to Model High, tributes were paid her by faculty and students. She gladdened every heart by saying that the happiest years of her life were those she has spent at DSTC with Model High. Model High Annual Staff MAX COOPER Advisor and Photographer MRS.

PETER HNOJTAVANGE Principal of Model High School The 1953-54 Model High School Student Council will be remembered for the quietly efficient way in which it handled the problems and needs of the student body. Under the able leadership of the president of the stu- dent body, the Student Council gave due consideration to all ideas suggested by our students. As a member of the DSTC Student Council, our president worked for closer, more lasting relationships between Model High and all college organizations. Among’ the .accomplishments of the Student Council during the past year was the changing of the name of our athletic team from Papooses to Braves. This change was authorized by the entire student body upon recom- mendation of the Student Council. Also upon recom- mendation of the Student Council, Model High cheer- leaders are now chosen by members of the student body. The entire Student Council membership is to be con- gratulated for the fine spirit it displayed in working for the betterment of our school. —115— BETTY LOU KOSTELECKY Dickinson, N.

A majority of the students working on this project were Juniors and Seniors. Most of the art work was by Betty Lou Kostelecky. Ward Johnson and Co. donated the truck for the event. The float indicates only very little of how much our students support the Sovoges in athletic events. Slogans of the float were It's in the Cards for DSTC. and Beat Beavers. —117— Sophomore Class Front row, left to right: Irene Ridl, Mary Ann Hanel, Veronica Cymboluk-V.

John Kreitinger assisted Lothrop He devoted most of his time to the B team, which also hod a fairly successful seoson. On the playing floor the Broves were ably led by Captain Eddie Hauck, a senior The Braves came out on the long end of the score six out of eighteen times in regular season play. The seoson's cli- max occurred when Model won its first tournament victory since 1947 on the opening night of the District 7 Closs B tournament. The won-lost column does not tell the entire story of the Braves' basketball season. A holf dozen ball games that were recorded as losses al- most turned out to be additional scalps for Model's victory string Altogether the Braves had an enjoy- oble and successful season So heartiest congratulations are extended to Coach Lothrop, Coach Kreitinger, Captoin Hauck, and the Braves of 1953-54 CLARENCE NAMENUK Loses 50 EDDIE HAUCK Captain INDIVIDUAL SCORING Kovash, Wilfred 296 Hauck, Edward 280 Namenuk, Clarence 107 Stieg, Donald 63 Gilbert, Paul 60 Wanner, Kenneth 36 Kadramas, Donald F. 12 Smith, Normon 7 Wagner, Robert 5 Ficek, Wilfred 4 DONALD ST I EC DONALD FRANK KADRAMAS UL GILBERT U V tjief ROBERT WAGNER «te Killdi'iSf-S; Ends Model Win Streak WILFRED FICEK Model vs. Abbey Model Wins 41-27 NORMAN SMITH —127— Big Braves Front row, left to right: Coach Forrest Lothrop, Donald Stieg, Captain Edward Houck, Clorence Nomenuk, Robert Wagner, Albert Kovosh- Monager.
