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

Text from Pages 1 - 130 of the 1962 volume:

FOREWORD MANY DOORS ... MANY KEYS... 1962 was another year of noticeable growth for Dickinson State Teachers College. The new library building was com- pleted, our enrollment reached a record of 845 in the fall quarter, our wrestling team set a small college record on the national level with 24 consecutive dual victories, and the State Board of Higher Education approved plans and made appropriations for a student union and science building. Your 1962 Prairie Smoke has tried to record most of the memorable events of the year in pictures. Many memories arc involved in the course of one college year and we, the 1962 staff. hope that this edition of Prairie Smoke will be a comprehensive record of the people, the places, and the events that affected you in 1962.

With his election and that of North Dakota’s first Democratic senator, our state was fast becoming a two-party state in which political events and ideas gained in interest. During the first term of Governor Guy, Dickinson State College continued its rapid growth. We, the students of Dickinson State, are grateful to Governor William Guy for the leadership he afforded during one of the most important years of our existence. STATE BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION During 1962, the State Board of Higher Education approved the plans for two more buildings for Dickinson State College. They voted to appropriate the money necessary to construct a new student union and a badly needed classroom building that will house the science facilities for our growing school. The Board was aware of the growth of Dickinson State and under its able direction, we will now be able to offer much more to the ever-increasing number of students. Pictured below is the State Board of Higher Education. I eft to right Minot; A. E. Mead, commissioner, Bismarck; Mrs. Elvira Jestrab, arc: John Conrad, Bismarck; Mrs. Mildred Johnson, vice-president, Williston; Fred Orth, Grand Forks; and Albert Haas, New Rockford. Wahpeton; Martin G. Kruse, Kindred; Ralph Christensen, president, NORTH DAKOTA'S FASTEST GROWING North Dakota’s fastest growing college is Dickinson State Teachers College. Enrollment has been on an increase, new buildings are ap- pearing on campus every year, and the overall atmosphere during the past three or four years has changed from one of a small teachers college to that of a progressive liberal arts school. In the aerial photograph above, the recently constructed and the proposed buildings for the campus are numbered. Number 2, the library, and 7, the college apartments, have already been completed. Numbers 4, the student union, and 5, the science building, have been approved by the State Board of Higher Education. Those structures that Dickinson State hopes to have in the near future are: 1, a new athletic field and bleachers; 3, another’s men’s dormitory and 6, a laboratory high school. 5 May Hall, the main building of Dickinson State’s campus, at present houses all the classrooms for the school. With the construction of a new classroom building in the near future, May Hall will be relieved of its over- crowded classrooms. MAY HALL Photographers Robert Metzger and Howard Foreman captured May Hall in two different settings. Metzger’s picture, at left, was snapped through the rocks on top of the wall that surrounds our campus. Foreman’s photo, below, taken on a frosty winter morning, is one of the winter scenes that we in North Dakota see so often during the course of a school year. 6 THE DORMS Klinefelter Hall, the largest women’s dormitory on cam- pus. is named after Maude Klinefelter, longtime secretary at Dickinson State. Selke Hall, the newest of the dorms, houses the men living on campus. The building is named after Dr. Arthur Selke. social science professor at the school for over thirty years. Stickncy Hall, the other womens dorm, bears the name of a pioneer physician of the Dickinson area who was the father of actress Dorothy Slickney. 7 The newest and most beautiful building on our campus is the modem library. It has a spacious reading room, a fine periodical department. individual study desks, and a curriculum library. The basement houses sixteen faculty offices, an audio-visual room, and the college bookstore. Three identical college apartment buildings, with eight units each, house many of the married students and their families. Scott Gymnasium is the center of all athletic activity on campus. Its playing floor also is the scene of five high school basketball tournaments during the year. A STUDENT UNION BY 1964 By 1964, Dickinson State should have one of the finest student union buildings in the state. The structure will provide room for social activities, meeting rooms, and the cafeteria. May Hall’s facilities have become inadequate for the growing student body, and the new union will be a welcome addition to the college community. AND A SCIENCE BUILDING . . . In this age of cosmonauts and space travel, science has become a very vital part of college education. The facilities for scientific study at present are very inadequate. With the completion of a science building in the near future, Dickinson State will be able to offer its students the instruction and equipment necessary for the development of qualified personnel in the important field of scientific endeavor. 9 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY Dean of Men L. G. Pulver L. G. Pulver has devoted many years of his service as Dean of Men at Dickinson State College. With its record enrollment, 1962 was an extremenly busy year for the Dean. But as in pre- vious years, he tirelessly gave his time and effort to each and every man on campus. In appreciation for his unselfish and helpful service over the years, we would like to dedicate this section of die 1962 Prairie Smoke to Dean L. G. Pulver. THE KEYS TO KNOWLEDGE THE PRESIDENT DR. 0.

COLLEGE EXCHANGE WITH GERMANY For a few years now, Dickinson State Teachers College has been exchanging materials and ideas with the Seminar Fur Studienre- ferendare in Stuttgart, Germany. In the Above photograph, a set of Encyclojjcdia Britannica is presented to Dr. Otto Kurz, director of the Stuttgart Institute, as a gift from Dickinson State. The purpose of this program is to share ideas and materials on the different aspects and problems of teaching here in America and in Germany. About twenty Dickinson State students are presently corre- sponding with students at the German school, hoping to obtain in- formation not only about the educational system of Germany, but to learn something of the students themselves and the work they do at the Seminar. Dr. Claude Levy, Director of the exchange program with Stuttgart. The 1962 Student Council of Dickinson State College was probably one of the most constructive student governments in years. Its major project was the founding of a student Council Scholarship and Loan Fund. For the fine accomplishments of this group during the past year, the 1962 Prairie Smoke dedicates this section of the book to the Student Council.

QTUDENT GOVERNMENT Effective student government is one of the most important factors in running a college or university smoothly. This year’s group, under the able direction of Council President Leo Bares, was quite successful in functioning as a representative body of the students on campus. The group consisted of: Leo Bares, president; John Gengler, vice-president; Doreen Johnson, secretary; Robert Scott, treas- urer; Doyle Dotson, athletic commissioner; Lola DeFoe, social commissioner; Noell Hamann, publications commissioner; Don Gratz, music commissioner; Cliff Balzer, senior class; Rod Nibbc. junior class; Dean Bachmeier, sophomore class; Joan Messmcr, freshman class; Bernett Reinke, Men’s Union; Vaun Dalee Rhodes, Association of Women Students. The major accomplishment of the 1962 Student Council was the establishment of a Scholarship and Loan Fund under the auspices of the Student Council. Another project undertaken by the 1962 governmental body was the revision of the Constitution of the Student Association. The most important of the revisions, according to the Student Council, was the change which now makes it impossible for sophomores to hold any posts but those of music commissioner and treasurer. Both the president and vice-president must be seniors according to the new revisions. All the other positions can be filled by either seniors or juniors. Traffic violations were another matter that the 1962 group covered under new legislation. Traffic tickets were printed and distributed to faculty members and Council members alike for use in cases of violation. 30 STUDENT COUNCIL. 1962-63: SEATED, left to right: Jean Eckroth.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The International Relations Club is for all students interested in the improvements in local, state, national and international affairs. The club develops understanding through discussion, education and association with foreign countries. During 1961-62, the club was very active in correspondence with the Seminar fur Studicn refercndarc in Stuttgart, Germany, a college with which our school has been exchanging ideas and material. They also put on a world’s food fair, serving dishes from many lands. Some of the other events sponsored by the International Relations Club are lec- turers, speakers, and other persons who arc natives or people who have worked in foreign countries. Through these programs the club hopes to promote better relations in the local and remote areas of our troubled world. 34 LA JUNTA FRANCAISE (FRENCH CLUB) STANDING, left to right: Velia Montemayor, John Magyar, Richard Privatsky, and Dr. Kenton Vickery, Adviser.

The French Club, is one of the newest campus organizations. Under the direction of Dr. Kenton Vickery, French instructor, the club got its start this year. The purpose of this organization is to give students in French and others with interest in the language an understanding of French in every-day talk. It takes them from the classroom and puts them in the middle of Paris, Marsaiilcs, and rural France. By learning the idioms, the modern terms, and other up-to-date details of French, the members of the organization hope to make the Junta Francaise a permanent mem- ber of the campus societies. 35 FRONT ROW, left to right: John Gengler, Tony Schmidt, Pat Han- son.

During the Homecoming activities of 1061, the Neuman Cluh was awarded first prize for their float entry in the Homecoming parade. They sjx nsored a “Hobo party for the members of the entire student body, and were active in raising funds for the new Catholic high school in Dickinson.

CONCERT CHOIR The Concert Choir provides an opportunity for all students with an interest and ability in vocal music to participate in an active organization. At various times during the year, the sixty-five voice choir presents concerts of choral literature from all periods of musical history. This season they presented con- certs in eight North Dakota towns and then did a concertized version of the opera “Faust” by Gounod and Hrahams’ “Lieb- eslieder Waltzes” for their home concert this spring. Two more groups were added this year. They are the Hill- toppers, a male chorus, and the Choralaires, a women’s choir. They performed at the regular home concerts. The Hilltoppcrs proved to be a show-stopper and accompanied the Concert Choir on its annual tour. Members of the Concert Choir performing during the annual Hilltop Holiday Variety Show.

The Symphonic Band, under the direction of Mr. Dwaine Nelson, has the reputa- tion of being of the finest concert hands in the Upper Midwest of the United States. Last year they made a stereophonic recording of Dv orak’s “New World Symphony.” They have been instrumental in making the Dickinson State music department a leader among North Dakota's colleges. Each year the group presents numerous con- certs throughout the surrounding area, sponsors and directs a music clinic for high school students from the Upper Midwest and Canada, and is the featured attraction at many school events. At left: During the spring of this year, the Symphonic Band presented a concert on the lawn of our campus.

It sponsors school parties, has its own “cowboy” socials, participates in intercollegiate rodeos, and instructs area youngsters in the proper care and handling of horses. Officers of this year’s Rodeo Club were: Kay Hecker, Joe Cook, Luella Rodeske, Judy Klick, and Patricia Wheeler. The club’s advisers were Mr. Robert Todd and Mr. Don Duda. 52 IN MEMORIAM COWBOY STUDENT FATALLY INJURED IN RODEO Joe Cook, junior at Dickinson State College, was fatally injured while participating in the bare-back bronc riding event at the Na- tional Intercollegiate Rodeo at Vermillion, South Dakota, on Sun- day, May 6. Joe, a native of Sentinel Butte, North Dakota, was completing his final ride when he was thrown and the mishap occurred. As an active member of the Rodeo Club, he was treasurer this past year and was instrumental in providing a practice arena for the girls events and the men’s roping events. His death was the first ever in intercollegiate rodeo events and the first in five years in all rodeo activity.

STUDENT EDUCATION ASSOCIATION The Student Education Association consists of students who are preparing themselves as educators in fields of elementary and secondary education. The organization is affiliated with the North Dakota Educational Association. The main objective is to promote a professional attitude in our future teachers and to help them cope with the problems that will arise in their years of teaching. Each year the Student Education Association sponsors a school party, the annual Christmas party, and then a picnic for the members in the spring. A number of the members attended the state convention at Minot this year. Janice Knoll served as secretary for the state organization. All future teachers are urged to join the group and become acquainted with the problems of this important profession. 54 Some student teachers, pictured at left, really believe in preparation for their classes.

Dickinson State’s student newspaper is now published every two weeks during the school year and once during the summer term. The twice-monthly publication averages six pages for each edition. THE WESTERN CONCEPT offers members of the student body an opportunity to develop their journalistic ability. Editor Winston Billigmeier and staff spent many hours each week trying to give the students a paper with the news of the campus. The biggest edition this year was a special “Go To College” issue, published es- pecially for all graduating high school seniors in the surrounding area. The 12-page edition featured articles on the various fields of endeavor at Dickinson State, reports on the athletic teams, the number of scholarships and loans available, and other in- formation about the school. Another feature of THE WESTERN CONCEPT this year was a private interview with Drew Pearson, nationally syndicated columnist, who lectured at the college. Mr. Pearson, speaking to Editor Billigmeier, Associate Editor John Gengler, and Adviser W. Ferron Halvorson, gave his opinion on some of the political problems of the nation. THE WESTERN CONCEPT, voice of the student body, is always open to the opinions of the students. There is a sincere desire on the part of the adviser, editor, and staff, that the students will make use of the opportunity of expression that THE WESTERN CONCEPT offers them. Another highlight of the year was a trip to the Associated Collegiate Press Con- vention at Miami Beach Fla., and the Hotel Fontainbleu. Billigmeier, Gengler, and Mr. Halvorson attended the four-day affair. 58 Seated, Prof. VV.

In the above photo, fullback Roger Erickson, (41) finds a massive hole in the Beaver line and sprints out for a good gain. Erickson scored on a five-yard run, breaking a 13—13 deadlock, and gave the Savages the touchdown that proved to be the winning tally. Cowboys and Indians may be a chil- dren’s game, but a few of the Savage warriors like nothing better than putting on the war-paint and riding in the parade.

YOUNG GRID TEAM FINISHES SECOND NINE SENIORS LOST TO GRADUATION The Dickinson State College eleven looked like a good bet to win the 1961 North Dakota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title, but an early season upset at the hands of Wahpeton ended hopes. The Savages looked really tough in their next three outings, but lost a 7—6 thriller to champion Mayville which stifled all chances at the conference crown. The most rousing win of the year was a 72—0 romp over hapless Ellcndale. The Savage defense was tight all year, but in this contest, the ofTense finally showed that the scoring punch was there. Nine seniors terminated their careers this year. Some big shoulder pads to fill will be those of guards Rocky Olheiser and Paulsen, tackle Charles Pagel, end John Butterfield, defensive back Doyle Dotson, high scoring fullback Roger Erickson, and two-time All-Conference defensive end Bob Feeney. Place-kicker Cliff Balzer and halfback Bob Scott are the other two. Statistically, the Savages averaged 28.2 points per conference contest. They showed some real offensive power by averaging 353 yards in every NDIAC game. Fullback Roger Erickson took scoring honors with 42 points in six games and sophomore half- back Dennis Larson was the leading ground gainer with 707 yards in six games also. Under coaches Bob Tracy and Clayton Ketterling the Savages have been a real threat in recent years. The returning members should make this threat as big as ever and keep the rest of the NDIAC alert.

GRAPPLERS SET NATIONAL DUAL MARK For the second year in a row, the Savage grapplers won twelve consecutive dual matches. The extended string of 24 victories is a new record for small colleges in the National As- sociation of Intercollegiate Athletics. The NAIA is comprised of hundreds of smaller colleges throughout the nation. In tournament competition the Savages collected a first, three seconds, and placed fifteenth in the NAIA finals at Winona, Minnesota, with 12 points. The big man for the team in the national finals was heavyweight Charles Wagner who, as a sophomore, placed second. He had a fine season with 21 wins, 3 losses, no ties, 8 pins and 101 points scored. He was followed closely by 130 pound Dean Bachmeier who had 20 wins, 4 losses, no ties, a fabulous 15 pins, and 92 points. Only one senior will be lost to graduation, that being Roger Erickson. Twelve returning lettermen should help the Savages maintain the prowress they have displayed during the last two seasons.

Out of the first ten conference games, the squad managed only three wins. Then the bombing started, with a six-game winning streak to end the season. When the Savages caught fire, they did so in grand style. In their last five games, they averaged an excellent 97 points per contest. The late splurge gave them a 9—7 NDIAC record, good for a third place tie with Wahpeton. This season marked the last for head coach Harry Wienbergen. He announced his retirement midway during the year, and the team gave him a fine string of victories as a going-away gift. Coach Wienbergen had been basketball mentor at DSC for 33 years. He will remain as athletic director. Ace center, John Butterfield, was the leader in nearly ever)- depart- ment this year. He lead all scorers with 488 in 22 games, 285 rebounds, and a 36 point game for tops of the season.

HARRY HONORED ON RETIREMENT After 33 years as head basketball mentor at Dickinson State, H. J. Wienbcrgen resigned this past year. He will continue in his present position as athletic director. Harry was honored with a reception, gifts, and the D-Club alumni established a fund for athletic scholarships and named it the “H. J. Fund.” Mr. Wienbcrgen has been successful in all aspects of his career, and the work he has done shall leave a lasting im- pression upon Dickinson State.

BASEBALL TEAM HAS 9-3 RECORD Coach Clay Ketterling’s baseball team had the best season ever for a Dickinson State College squad since the sport be- came a part of the North Dakota Intercollegiate Athletic Con- ference program. With some top-notch pitching from Gary Melling (4—0) and Jim Silbernagel (4—2), combined with lusty hitting from Dick SchafT (.417), Tom Clemens (.364), Jim Magelky (.333), and Rog Haug (.308), the team posted a 9—3 conference record. Minot proved to be the spoiler, and eventual champion, as the Beavers took three of four from the Savages. The Dickin- son nine dumped both Bismarck Junior College and Bottineau four times. Melling led the pitching department with a 1.69 earned-run average, allowing five runs in 21 innings. Silbcmagel racked up 46 strike-outs in the 38 innings he worked, while compiling a 2.58 ERA. The big sticks for the Savages were Clemens with a .365 batting average, Rog Haug with 14 RBI’s in 12 games, and Rod Diede’s three home runs. Dick SchafFs .417 plate mark was high for the team, but he had only 12 officials at-bat. Defensively, the Savages had three men that played a season of errorless ball. Catcher Bob Feeney recorded 70 putouts with- out a miscue, first-baseman Dale Ellis had a 1.000 fielding average, as did left fielder Tom Clemens. Shortstop Rod Diede led the team in assists with 32. Good hitting helped the Savages in their winning season. Here Jim Magelky takes his licks. Bob Feeney is doing the catching. BOTTOM ROW, left to right: Coach R. Tracy, M. Burian, P. Keller, R.

THINCLADS RETAIN CONFERENCE CROWN 1962 was a tremendous year for the Dickinson State College track and field team. For the first time in the school’s history, the squad won the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, District 12 championship. This, however, was an anti-climax to a splendid season. The powerful Savages, with depth that most coaches dream about but never have, won six of the seven meets they entered. They took second at the Bison Invitational at Fargo, where a number of University of Minnesota and Canadian thinclads ran unattached. Coach Bob Tracy’s boys took second in this one, for the only blemish of the 1962 slate. It wasn’t a year of records. The new school mark set was junior Ed Diem’s javelin toss of 217 feet, W 2 inches. Diem’s throw was one of the top ten of the season in the entire nation. But depth was the factor that made this team the winner it was. Consistent winners, such as Ernie Ficek in the low hurdles, Gordon Harding in the high hurdles, Charlie Pagel in the discus, Duane Meissner in the shot-put, Ed Diem in the javelin, and the fine milers Harry Hammeren and Leon House, were followed by seconds, thirds and fourths in every meet. Frosh sprinters Fred Fridley, Ed Terncs, Rog Rcinbold, Dewey Beckert; hurdlers Bill Green and Pat Johner; two-miler Rich Wandlcr; pole-vaulter Dennis Johnson; 440 yarders Myran Burian and Malcolm McCIean; miler Pat Keller; high-jumper Dennis Boknecht; veterans Doyle Dotson, Rog Erickson — each of these men made die 1962 track and field squad die finest and winningest team that Dickinson State College ever assembled. They ran away with the conference title, scoring 115 11 14 points, more than the combined efforts of the rest of the teams competing. With the returning men, they could easily do it again. 78 Pole vaultcr Denny Johnson goes up and over. Athletic Director Wienbergen checks to sec how the Savages are doing.

CHEERLEADERS, left to right: Gcri Zeren, Suzi Clark, Janice Knoll and Bonnie Zalcsky. On the chilly fall evenings during football games, in the noisy packed gymnasium during basketball season — when- ever and wherever the Savages are playing, usually you’ll find four girls in the school colors jumping, shouting, and going through other indescribable gyrations. They are the cheerleaders, the persons responsible for a constant “Rah! Rah! Rah!” for the old alma mater. The DSC “Rah! Rah!” girls in action SENIORS After four years of study and work, the senior class of 1962 has completed its stay at Dickinson State. Upon the graduation of this class, and in recog- nition for the things they have done for the school while in attendance here, the 1962 Prairie Smoke dedicates this section of the book to the 1962 seniors.
