DEDICATION HARRY AND EVE WIENBERGEN For twenty seven years of faithful service to Dickenson State Teachers College; for twenty seven years of guidance, counsel, and faith in the youth of North Dakota, we gratefully dedicate the 195f edition of the PRAIRIE SMOKE to HARRY AND EVE WIENBERGEN. Mr. Wienbergen, athletic director of Dickinson State Teachers College, is presently coach of basketball and track, and teacher of various physical education subjects. During World War II he served in the Navy as Director of Cadet Train- ing at colleges in the states of Michigan, Mary- land, Illinois, and Wisconsin. After his term in the Services, he resumed his position at Dickin- son State Teachers College. Eve Wienbergen, Coach Harry’s’ top booster and confidante, is also on the faculty at the col- lege. She is assistant librarian. Throughout their years of service to the col- lege, Harry and Eve Wienbergen have acquired the faith and admiration of students the world over. 1955 STATE BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION TOP ROW, Left to Right: Albert Haas, New Rockford; Mrs. Elvira Jestrab, Williston; Mrs. Vernon Johnson, Wahpeton; M.S.

Wienbergen, DSTC Athletic Director and Basketball Coach. Most pre-season predictions made by sports writers were that Minot would repeat as conference champions with Ellendale pushing them hard for the crown. As it turned out though, Minot finished second to a surprising Mayville team which ended the regular season undefeated. Our Savages tied with Valley City for third place with a 10-6 record. When Bud Perry broke his leg in the second game of the season, Coach Wienbergen lost one of his starting forwards. The Savages lose only two men by graduation. They are Captain Louis Oldenburg and Larry Hook Otterson. Even with this loss through graduation, the Savages can be expected to field a strong team next season if the other lettermen return. The Junior Varsity was coached by LeRoy “Pudge Beaudoin. “Pudge was captain of last year’s Varsity Team. He was not eligible for varsity participation this year. However, he did not let his basketball ability go to waste. Under his guidance the Jayvees won 11 games and lost 9 games.

The Varsity got much help during the season from Coach Pudge Beau- doin's Junior Varsity. Larry Hook Otterson connects for two. After several years of military service, Larry whipped back into shape and held down to center spot on Coach Wienbergen's first five. Herbie Herauf also a vet and a victim of marriage here proves that he can still handle the ball. He was to be a big punch in the Savages' line-up. Bud Perry, who started the season with a bang, gets one from charity lane. He was later injured and out of the line-up for the rest of the campaign.

The above pictured golf team of 1955 competed in three tournaments. Ted Easton tied for fourth place at Minot. At Valley City the team placed third with a 611 team score. Minot won it with a 537 score, Jamestown, with Medalist winner Bruce Hanna, was runner-up. Valley City finish- ed fourth with a 613 score. The unexperienced team competed in one other tournament. This was at Bismarck, where they finished fifth. During the spring of ’55 the Savage Tennis Team continued to show supremacy in that event, as they tied for the title. Only once since the war has a DSTC tennis team failed to win or tie for the Championship. This year they shared top honors with the Minot team. The Dudley-Uecker combination won most of their matches, and Captain Uecker was extremely tough in the sing- les. The track team, however, was not as success- ful. In their first meet at Jamestown they finished fifth. At the Minot meet, second place was the most they could get. The State meet was the toughest, with the University and the AC gather- ing most of the points. The blue and gray thin- clads placed fourth in the Conference Meet at Valley City. Jamestown won the Conference track title. —97 BOWLING The members of the 1955 squad were Pudge Beaudoin, Junior; Emery Jahnke, Freshman; Ree Foster, Sopho- more; Jack Weber, Senior; Bill Mos- brucker, Senior; and Captain Norm Ballard, Junior. Bill Mosbrucker All Events Champ. The members who will participate in the 1956 State meet here in Dickinson are Pudge Beaudoin, Emery Jahnke, Joseph Lupo, James Gibson, Ted Easton, ana Captain Norm Ballard. Jack Weber. Norm Ballard Team Captain. Showing well in the other events the Savages, paced by Bill Mosbrucker and captain Norm Ballard, swept five of the nine places in the Individual Events. Mosbrucker and Ballard teamed up to win the doubles title with 619 and 560 scores respectively for a total of 1179- The Dickinson State Teachers Col- lege bowling team competed in the first annual North Dakota Collegiate Bowling Championships at the N.D.A.C. Bowling Lanes at Fargo, on April 20 and 21 of 1955. They finished only 81 pins behind W'ahpeton State School of Science with the score 8597 to 8516. Mosbrucker won the All-Events Championship with a 1710 total and placed second in the singles with a $69 while Ballard placed second behind Mosbrucker in the All-Events with a 1699 total and third in the singles with a 555. —99— J00_ •• © AND CLOWNS ENTERTAINERS And they are the clowns!

Miss Schumacher came to the Dickinson State Teachers College in the fall of 1948 to teach Physical Education to both College and Model High School girls. Her home state is Wisconsin and she is a graduate of the Milwaukee High School. She received a Bachelor of Education degree at the La Crosse State Teachers College, La Crosse, Wisconsin; took graduate work at Columbia University, New York; and has a Master of Arts degree from Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri. Prior to coming to the Dickin- son State Teachers College, Miss Schumacher taught at Dakota Wesleyan University, Mitchell, South Dakota. During the second World War she served her country in Red Cross work as a Chief Director of Hospital Recreation. She has spent a number of summers in the supervision and direc- tion of Playground and Recreation Activities in the cities of Monroe and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She has also taught Special Physical Education for the mentally and physically handicapped children at the Lapeer State Home and Training School, Lapeer, Michigan. Dancing is her hobby and she conducts several classes in dancing for pre-grade school children on Saturday mornings. Miss Schumacher is deeply interested in girls and in their physical, social and personality development. She realizes the value of Physical Training for good sportsmanship and friendly competition, both in school work and in recrea- tional activities. Students find her always a sincere friend for whom they have both love and respect. — 108— SENIORS OF 1956 CLASS FLOWER Carnation CLASS MOTTO Forward Forever, Backward Never.
