) b I aau MMi Published by the Students of the North Dakota State School of Science Wahpeton, North Dakota HERBERT PAETZ, Editor JAMES LIEBER, Business Manager ARCHER RILEY, Advertising Manager the Printing Trades Department School of Science Printed by State rJ '0 THOSE who have found both enjoyment and profit here, to those who have toiled and studied within these walls, we present this volume of the Agawasic. Our aim in the formation of this book has been to record faithfully the scenes and activities that have made this a memorable year. We have tried to make it a book that will bring back pleasant memories in the years to come. May you, in reading it, derive as much pleasure from it as we of the staff have had in its composition. Classes Activities Athletics Features J HEN a feller needs a friend” he could hardly find a better one than “Satt.” Though his tongue is occasionally “sharper than a serpent’s tooth,” he isn’t fooling us a bit; he has a heart as big as the trades building. “Satt” has been head of our printing department for eighteen years and dur-ing that time has been consistently known and liked by students, alumni, teachers and fellow townsmen. Before coming here he was superintendent of the printshop at the University of Minnesota. Since early boyhood he has been a printer, a good one, and proud of it. His general interests arc wide, ranging from the depths of fishing to the heights of astronomy. He is an “all-around” man: master craftsman, wide reader, sportsman, good citizen. By reason of the above facts and many more excluded by limitation of space, We dedicate the 1940 Agawasie to H. B. SATTERLEE - XXX X ★ ★ s s s s To the Students of the State School of Science: The students of the State School of Science published their first Annual in 1914. After three issues it was discontinued until the 1921 Agawasie was published. Since 1921 the students have published an Annual each year without interruption. Each publication has told of the principal events of the school year in story and pictures. As the stories tell of student life from year to year and as pictures of most of the students who have attended this school during the years mentioned can be found in successive volumes, these Annuals furnish the most accurate history of the changes and growth of this school, each Agawasie increasing in value with each year of its age. 1 congratulate this year’s Annual Staff on producing a true history of this school year’s events, for immediate pleasure, and for its great value in the future. E. F. RILEY, President.

Not many years ago, those of us on the staff felt that we knew piactically every student personally. Not so today. Your Annual provides me with a means to say to each one of you individually through your personal copy of this yearbook ; Aii Revoir for the year 1939-40. Trust that those of you. who have so planned. can be back for 1940-41. An invitation is extended to you, who will not return, to visit us whenever you are in the vicinity of Wahpcton. , And to each one of you: I wish you health I wish you wealth I wish you success galore 1 wish you happiness and the joy it brings, Now who could wish you more? G. VV. Havbrty. aaiV-aAKL 0 19 4 0 We Appreciate Your Loyalty The other day a young man stopped at the office to visit what he called “mv school.” He completed his engineering course at a four-year university, after a two-year junior college engineering course here, and is now successfully employed in the field for which he has prepared. The point is this: although several years have elapsed since his attendance here, he considers the State School of Science “his school.” An interesting letter recently received comes from a man who attended the State School of Science ten years ago. He asks for the school paper. He is successfully employed in an eastern state, in the trade for which he made preparation lieic. He says he hasn’t forgotten the boost that 5.5.5. has given him: and wants the news from “his school.” As this is being written, a young man from a town in the northwest corner of the state calls at the office and says: A group of former students now employed in a northwest town in the state got together a short time ago and form al an 5.5.5. Alumni organization. They talked a lot about their days at the S.S.S. and want to carry on as boosters for the State School of Science.” A man who attended the trade school fourteen years ago returned this winter to get some advanced instruction in the electrical department as he has been following the trade since getting his fundamental preparation here. His nephew graduates from high school this spring and he is sending him here next fall. A loyal booster for S.S.S. This week a letter came from a mother in Maine who sent her son to S.S.S. a few years ago. In the letter she states that her son is successfully employed at Jack-son Heights, New York, and she tells how pleased she is with the training her son received at S.S.S. She is urging a friend in Maine to send her son to Dakota next fall. An employer from South Dakota called long distance this week and said: “Send me another electrical graduate on the first of April. I have several of your former students in my employ and both they and 1 arc loyal boosters for your school.” 'These are typical eases of regular reports received throughout the school year. A great deal of satisfaction comes to us on the faculty from the sincere loyalty of trade and engineering students who have been with us in years gone hv. You can’t stop the growing success of a school whose former students arc boosting it day in and day out. Such cooperation is of mutual benefit to S.S.S. and to its students. Kvery good wish is extended to those of you who have been with us this year. We trust that you, too, will he a booster in the years ahead. Hi Left to right: the main office; the library; economics class; office practice, typing; technical English class; stenotypy (mach- ine shorthand) ; dictaphone and telephone practice; cnlculator operation. To Arts and Commerce Students: It may surprise you to know that your two years of college training here can he of as much interest to your teachers as it is to you. In a certain sense wc yet the greater decree of enjoyment because wc arc looking at this work in perspective, comparing you with students who have gone before, and trying to look forward to the later use that you will put your training. Just one word on the first point: as to courtesy, responsible conduct and a generally mature attitude, you compare favor- ably with any other group of students who have ever attended here. As to the second point, we believe that you have grasped or are in the process of grasping the nature of tlu se qualities which make for success. Some of you will he with us again next year, and we'll be glad of your return. To those who will he doing professional work or attending school elsewhere, we wish health, happiness, and all good luck. F. II. McMahon . ■QQM Cb6JJL 0 19 4 0 Junior College Arts The above title varies from the assignment as given the writer of this article. He was asked to write on the Junior College. and last year after a similar request he did write on the Junior College, defining it as including all collegiate courses under headings of Business, I rades, and Arts. A habit of popular definition is hard to get rid of, and we’ll probably never shake off the custom of meaning Arts Students when we say “college students.” In its widest sense, college work includes all work done by high school graduates— and that means practically all the work of the Science School; in a narrower sense it includes all courses in arts, commerce, and trades which arc defined in our catalogue as college courses; in no sense is the term properly confined to arts students. With that matter quite clear, I am attempting to do what I am quite sure the present editor of the Agawasie, as well as past editors, really meant to ask: that is to speak for the Arts Department. Though the number in comparatively small the work is of high importance. Those in the Arts Department arc laying the foundations of professional careers. When they leave here they continue with college-work in arts or professional courses for at least two more years, and often for three or four more years. There were twenty-two graduates from this department last year. Nearly all arc now in senior college work and arc representing us at the University of North Dakota, the North Dakota Agricultural College, the University of Minnesota, Valley City Teachers College, Aberdeen Teachers College, Concordia, Iowa State, St. Catherine’s College. Moorhead Teachers College, St. Olaf College, University of Maryland. In addition to the schools above named, graduates have recently gone from here to the University of Southern California, Maiqucttc University, the United States Military Academy and the University of . I ichigan. Throughout the history of the school the record of our students, as they went on to college elsewhere, has been consistently high and that has been a powerful factor in consistent acceptance everywhere of our credits. In this respect our graduates have done good service for themselves as well as for us. Work in the Arts Department has to lay a foundation for a wide variety of professions including law, teaching, medicine. dentistry, nursing, various fields of engineering, journalism, business, home economics, agriculture and forestry. Our arts graduates of past years arc employed within all these fields, in specific occupations too numerous to mention here. Neither is it possible to explain here the numerous ways in which major departments of our school help each other, but there is room for two examples that show how our departments of 'Trades and Business add strength to courses in Arts: Strong courses in mathematics and science which arc necessary to advanced training in 'Trades greatly strengthen the curriculum of the Arts Department; and strong courses in accounting and secretarial work quite necessary to the Business School arc also at the disposal of Arts students. In addition Arts students can take as valuable elective work some of the shop courses in 'Trades and vocational courses in Business. The Business School (Irowing steadily duriii}: the past several years, our business school now has as many students as can he effectively trained. Ami year after year Its placement record is close to 100 percent. The steadily increasing enrollment of high school graduates from all over the state of North Dakota and from adjoining states, has prompted many to ask us this question: I)oes the business school division of the Science School employ a solicitor or an agent to interview prospective students or their parents?” This is not an unusual question, since many business colleges all over the land have adopted this practice. But we believe the answer is of unusual interest. No, our business school docs not employ a solicitor. We prefer to secure our enrollment year after year through the rccommcdations of those who have previously attended and who know, through experience, the value of the training. Is there not a sharp contrast in value between the recommendations of former students and those of the solicitor whose in- terest is largely measured by his commission? Is not a salary paid to a solicitor far hotter expended in maintaining for students superior, up-to-date equipment, and high grade courses? I'p-to-date equipment and high-grade courses are in turn vital factors in helping to develop and to grade students according to the business man's standard of efficiency, dependability, and capacity for work. Wc shall have no interest in the practice of other business colleges as long as our students continue to be our best medium of advertising and as long as this method of contact gives the department as much work as it can efficiently do. By offering as courses of collegiate rank, two-year secretarial training, accounting and business administration, wc arc able to offer the young man and young woman vocational training of the highest type. Our own graduates, grateful for that training, applying it successfully, and telling others about it, arc our best agents. THE ActiuUieA, Herbert Part . Editor Archer Riley Adv. Manager The Agawasic staff underwent several changes in membership during the year due to the members leaving school. Donald Pease held the editorship until the beginning of the winter term, when he received a Civil Service appointment. Douglas Mutschlcr, the advertising manager, also obtained a position at the beginning of the winter term. Herbert Pact , was then appointed editor and Archer Riley advertising manager. All efforts were made to make this year’s Agawasic one of the best ever published. Although the amount of time required to complete their work caused many sacrifices on the part of the staff, they all did their part well. A good deal of credit must be given to Don Pease, whose work on the planning of the book was very helpful. v Donald Pease Agawasie Staff Agawasie Staff 11 ERBEKT PaETZ James Liekkr -Archer Rii.kv -Raymond Peso i ei. -Melvin Slate -I )ol'ci.as MacI)oucai.i Lillian Hurst -( I RACE KaCIIELIIOKFER Carol Forman John VVacar Kenneth Saxhaug • - - Editor Business Manager - Advertising Manager Circulation Manager - Sports Editor Organizations Society Features Art Staff Photographer - Staff Photographer Landon Petersen Faculty Adviser THE aauta KL 0 1940 Scientist Staff As the official newspaper of the State School of Science, the Dakota Scientist not only chronicles the various campus events, social activities, and departmental news, hut it also provides a practical background for education of the journalism students in the ways and mysteries of the printing trade itself. Edited and published in the school’s own print shop, the Scientist has, throughout the years, become an increasingly important factor in depicting school life m general at the State School of Science. Although small in size, as newspapers go, the Scientist columns nevertheless are filled with news, features, and faculty comment, pertinent to school life here. The various departmental reporters on this year’s staff' included: Nccia Black, Campus notes; Stan Schuctt, Air-conditioning; Elsie Trcichcl, Home Economics; W. A. Currie Earl Orchard, second year Electrical; Fred Reinlmlz and Peter Fleck, Auto Body; Cyril Sannes, Radio; Herman Woike, Auto Electrical; Ray YVeden, first year Electrical; George Krug. Architectural; Ernest McCann, Auto Mechanics; Glen Ouren, Aviation; Alvin Ruth-cnbcck, Deane Cable and Jean McNeil, Printing; Dwayne Brown, Sheet Metal; Ralph Mecklenburg and Ray Pcschel, Jr. College. Herbert Pact , was Alumni reporter, and Ray Pcschcl also wrote a sports column. Other student writers for the Scientist during the year have been Douglas MacDougall, with his informative and sparkling sports stories and Clarence Schuldheisz and Lambert Ciilles, with their fine “general” news articles. On the lighter side of life, the “Hell-box” with its witty remarks as gathered by various printing students provided a good deal of amusement for Scientist readers. As for the “scandal” angle, the “Taller” spread consternation and dismay among students’ affairs—and brazenly exposed many a deep, clear secret—all in fun, of course, and which served to emphasize college life in its “lighter moments.” This year’s editor of the Dakota Scientist has been Melvin Farrington, who in turn has been aided and abetted no little by the valuable help and instruction of instructor Currie of the Linotype department, and instructor Sattcrlce of Printing. j i ■•errx Home Economics Club Probably the most active organization on the campus, though also one of the smallest, is the Home Economics Club, a social organization which holds its meetings once a month. 1 wo members act as hostesses at the meetings, which arc held in the homes of tin- members. I hese two girls plan the entertainment and take care of the refreshments. i'm1 ! • rwKram of entertainments was held this %� «„.. vi i tni, with seasonal parties carrying out the themes of Christmas, Halloween, and St. Valentine’s Day. .Membership dues collected throughout the year go to defray expenses of a weekend in May at Camp Nirvana, on Lake Clithcr-all. in Minnesota. Miss Forkner is the club’s adviser, while Klsie Treichel acts as president. Other officers arc Clarice H rack in, secretary-treasurer, and Edna Nupen, vice-president.

Sixty aviators belong to the club, meetings of which arc held every three weeks in the Aviation Repair Shop. Dues arc one dollar a term. The tri-weekly meetings arc always interesting. Cards arc usually played and a delicious lunch is served. Resides this, the members listen to interesting talks on aviation given by Art Sampson and A1 Cassidy, who have plenty of entertaining anecdotes of their flying experiences to tell. 'The club is distinguished for the fact that it is the only club on the campus to have official membership pins. A pair of wings with a circle set between them is the shape of the pin. which has the letter V for Wahpeton in the center of the circle with S.S.S. Aviation around it. Mr. Sampson and Mr. Cassidy were the club’s faculty advisers. Donald Hodges was president; James Corrington, vice-president; Bernard Krb, secretary; and Hill Johnston, treasurer. Art Sampson Library Club Active ami unique. That’s the best waj to describe the Library Club, one of the school's most active social organizations. Open to anyone around the school who is interested enough to join, the club has no dues and a membership of 20. Meetings arc held every other Tuesday in the Lilmiry rooms, with committees of tnc members taking care of the program and refreshments. One of the unique activities of the club, this year, was the corresponding with North Dakota's congressmen on the resolution, Resolved, that the members of the Library Club go on record as being opposed to United States participation in any foreign conflict, adopted by the club at one of its meetings. Another unusual activity of the club was an unsuccessful sponsoring of a Dutch Date day. Three open forum discussions on such varied subjects as National Defense, Party Etiquette, and Use of the Library featured some of the meetings. A February meeting saw Mr. McMahon discuss his viewing of Maurice Evans in Shakespeare's “Hamlet.” Millard Larson was this year’s president of the club, Eleanor Anderson was vice-president, and Ilcne Hart was secretary-treasurer. Miss King was the club's adviser. (yiaau}aAm. U 1940 Celestine King Newman Club Catholic students at Science have their own social organization, the Newman Club, which holds monthly meetings at St. John’s School down town. With all Catholic students in the school being eligible for membership, the club has a membership of well over 90. Dues are one dollar per year. The club has been quite active this year, giving a Newman Club Dance on February 6. and sponsoring a Communion Breakfast, February 10. Everyone was welcome to these. Besides this, dancing parties for the members were held at frequent intervals. Father Meyer was the unofficial adviser for the club and had much to do with its success. Mr. Ilaberman was the faculty adviser and Donald Pease was president. Other officers were: William Martin, vice-president; LaVonne B re tier, secretary; and Theresa O’Keefe, treasurer. -aau}a6m 0 19 4 0 II. L. IIabermax Bernice Brvdahl c4aau}aAJji 0 19 4 0 Sacajawea Club 'IVn years old last spring, this all-girls club Started on its second decade of activity with a year filled with social entertainments. With every girl in the school eligible for membership, the club has a roll of 140 members, making it the second largest organization on the campus. Dues of 10c per meeting go toward defraying the cost of the lunch served at the meetings. The first of the social events the girls had during the year was a Big Sisters’ Tea in October, at which all the new girls were guests. Bernice Brvdahl gave the welcoming address to the freshmen, and Carol Forman responded for the first year girls. An interesting program of musical numbers was the entertainment feature. A big Christmas party, held in the basement of Burch Hall, followed and all the good girls, that meaning everybody, received gifts. It was one of the highlights of the year in spirit and attendance. With half of the girls dressed in men’s clothes to furnish the dancing partners, the next social event, an old-fashioned Barn ¥ . Dance, proved to l c a bin success. A .Mother’s Tea, given in the spring for mothers of the girls, was well attended and productive of more interest in the club. The concluding event of the year was the Spring Formal, to which the girls invited guests. With the spring theme being carried out in the pastel shades of the decorations, it was the most colorful social event given this season. A Grand .March led by the members of the Cabinet and their guests started off the evening. Miss Larson was the club’s faculty adviser and her ideas and leadership were instrumental in making the year a success. Me mice Brydahl was the club’s president; Camille Sturdevant was vice-president; Elaine Duhn, secretary; Necia Black, treasurer; Evelyn Nelson, scribe; and Grace Kachclhoffcr, program chairman. On the club’s Cabinet, which is the directing force behind the organization, were: Necia Black, representing Trades; Evelyn Nelson, the Freshmen; Elaine Duhn and Bernice Brydahl, the out-of-town girls, and Camille Sturdevant and Grace Kachclhoffcr, the town girls. THE aau}a uL 0 19 4 0 Sacajawea Club Edith Larson Auto Body Club Fifty-five Students enrolled in Auto Body courses make up the membership of the Body Benders Club, one of the most thriving organizations on the campus. Meetings were held every two weeks at the outset and approximately once in three weeks during the closing months of the year. All meetings were held in the Auto Botlv shops, with cards being played and the members listening to interesting programs which included short talks and musical numbers. Membership dues of 10c per meeting paid for the excellent lunches served. '1'hc club had plenty of trouble in keeping its list of officers filled, three more leaders having to be elected after the middle of the year to fill up the gaps caused by resignation and leaving school. Byron Howe and LcRov Bruns served as presidents; Ordcan Fjcstad and Fred Re in hoi , were the vice-presidents; Lcn-dall Matuska was secretary, and John Vossen and Lawrence Garskc were treasurers. V. G. Svenkesen, whose capable guidance put much of the spirit into the club, was its faculty adviser. -aauhiAjSL 0 19 4 0 W. G. SvENKLSEN Dramatic Club Science School students who arc interested in dramatics, the dramatic arts, and dramatory reading make up the membership list of the Dramatic Club. Practically inactive for the past few years, the club came back strong this year, to become one of the most active on the campus. No dues are necessary for membership in the organization, whose only function is to produce and put on those well-acted little plays that entertained us at different occasions throughout the year. Three one-act plays were produced by the club during the first two terms. “The Last of the Merriwethers” was the first one, to he followed by “Three’s a Crowd,” which was given here and at the high school, and “Thank You, Doctor.” Another, “The Valiant,” a serious play, was one of the productions of the club during the Spring term. A unique experiment was put on this year, when the club, working on a commission basis, presented a one-act comedy. “Grandma Pulls the String.” between shows at the Valley Theatre. Other numbers appeared on the program, which was the big feature of Science Day at the Theatre. It was the first time anything of this nature had ever been tried, but it proved to be a success, both for the club and the theatre. Mr. Sands, as faculty adviser, directed all plays and had a great deal to do with their success. Club officers for the year were: Carol Forman, president; Grace Kachclhoflcr, vice-president; and Nicholas K rum p, see re ta ry-t reasu re r. .Marvin Sands Electrical Club The largest departmental club on the campus and one of the oldest is the Electrical Club, a social organization for enrol Ices in the electrical and radio departments. First organized in 1925 by Mr. Barnard and Mr. Larsson, the club now has a membership list of 120. Educational as well as social, the club keeps its members up to date on things electrical, by having experts in that field appear before the club. Thursday night meetings are held every three weeks in the Trades Building. Motion pictures of scenic spots in Colorado, taken l� v Mr. Du Vail and Mr. Marple on a recent trip there, were shown at one meeting, while another meeting featured THE qajutoAJSL 0 19 4 0 Arthur Afdahl Electrical Club comic movies and films on electrical subjects. Entertainment features of other meetings included a whist tournament and a demonstration of oil properties by Mr. Lindquist of Brcclcenridgc. An Electrician’s Quartet, consisting of Don Marine, Joe Helm, Bill Jones, and Wellington Landis, appeared on several programs. All in all, the club had a most success- ful year. Student spirit and pride in the department was increased by the club's activities and the members should be all the better workmen for having luul the benefit of the educational features of the club. Eddie Johnson and Ben Barnard served as faculty advisers for the club. Art Afdahl was president; Andrew Mork, vice-president; Gaylord Fougner, secretary-treasurer and Julian Van Buren. sergeant-at-arms. THE -aau}aAjji 0 19 4 0 Ben Barnard Junior College Club Remember that College Dinner-Dance held late in January? Well, that was the product of the Jr. College Club, whose membership of 240 makes it the largest organization on the campus. A purely social club, the membership of the organization is limited to students who have taken or are taking three college subjects. Included in this group arc not only Liberal Arts and Commerce students, but also College Engineering students. which includes Printing-Journalism enrol Ices as well. Officers for the club arc elected from each of the three departments represented, Liberal Arts, Commerce, and Engineering. 'Phe big activity of the past year was the Banquet and Dance given in the lOOF Mall, Monday, Jan. 19. Probably the most successful event of this kind ever held, the event was attended by a group of over one hundred and twenty. Supt. M. B. Zimmerman of the Wah-peton Public School was the guest speaker aau}QMcl 0 19 4 0 James Lhiker THE acudaAm 0 19 4 0 Junior College Club at the banquet. Mis well-received talk emphasized the responsibilities of college-trained men and women in a democracy. Six other speakers, Pres. Riley, Miss Madden, and Mr. Barnard, faculty members, and Dorothy Askew, Robert Holmes, and Millard Larson, for the students, gave brief talks as representatives of the three major departments. Vocal solos by Mr. Sands and songs by a YVahpcton H. S. Girls’ Trio also appeared on the Banquet program. James Lieber was the toastmaster for the occasion. Red Rover’s orchestra played for the big dance which followed the dinner. Faculty advisers for the club were Mr. McMahon and Miss Madden; James Lieber was president; John Lein, vice-president, and Millard Larson, secretary-treasurer. F. II. McMamox George Brackin’ THE ■aau}(UjJL 0 19 4 0 Kitchen Club Twenty-three of the hoys and girls who work in the Science School cafeteria in Burch Hall make up the membership of the K. 1 Club. Regular meetings arc held at least once a term, with Tom Terry and Mrs. Lcis, chef and baker, furnishing the sandwiches and cocoa. The young and ambitious domestic science experts have had their fun this year, too. A theater party was given in Decem- ber and the group had a sleigh ride in February. That was the occasion on which a sled tipped over, with Frank Lcct and Gcorgianna Kinn receiving minor injuries. Faculty adviser for the club is George Brackin, the cafeteria manager. Dick Morgan is president, Oscar Ness, vice-president, Charmian Bakkc, secretary-treasurer, and Ernie McCann, sergeant-at-arms. vW IPI Club Social life among the enrollces in printing-journalism and linotype courses is promoted by the 1. P. I. (International Printers Ink) Club. Membership reached a total of thirty-five this year. Called the Printers’ Club when first organized by Mr. Satterlec in 1025, the organization went by the name of Matrix Club Ireforc becoming the I. P. I. Club a few years ago. Girls were not admitted into the club until I93S, but when precedence was broken that year with the admittance of one girl, it stuck. The result was that this year’s membership included a feminine group of six, three second-year girls and three first-year girls. The only social event the club had this year was the initiation party given in the handball room at the gym, just before the Christmas vacation. The new members were initiated with some laughable stunts, cards were played, and a delicious lunch was served. Mr. Currie and Mr. Satterlec were the dual advisers for the club, whose officers were: Deane Cable, president; Maccy Paul, vice-president; and Jean McNeil, secrcta ry-t reasu rer. THE J cAaodjJaihi 0 19 4 0 II. B. Satteri.ee Auto Mechanics Club Students in the auto mechanics, tractor repair, and auto electrical courses enjoy social contacts and become better workmen in their trade through membership in this club, one of the largest of the departmental organizations. An approximate membership of seventy “grease-halls” was the goal attained by the club, which holds its once- t-month meetings in the Trades Building. Lunch was served at all meetings. A number of card parties were held and one get-together was featured by a demonstration of oil properties by Mr. Lindquist of Brcclccnridge. A March meeting had for its program movie stills and a talk on the new features of carburetors. The stills were shown and the talk was given by a manufacturer’s representative. With Karl Smith, auto mechanic instructor, as adviser, the club had Norman Hummel as president; Lyle Ilanna, vice president; and Calmer Braaten, secretary-treasurer. Kari.

First organized way back in 1020, the club orginallv was intended for letter-men in the three major sports: football, basketball, and track. Hut in the past few years, the club’s roll has been swelled by the addition of lettermen in boxing, golf, and tennis. Raffling of an “S” blanket at ten cents a chance is the club’s main method of finance. The drawing for the blanket was made at the Stag Party with Henry I leer, assistant instructor in Auto Hotly, winning. Money received from this raffle goes into a fund, the disposal of which is decided bv the whole did). Karl Rule and George H rack in were the faculty advisers for the club. Dwayne IJrown, president. Lawrence Cain, vice-president. and Kd Kohoutek, secretary-treasurer, were the officers. Lutheran Student Association All Lutheran students at Science arc eligible for membership in the Lutheran Students Association and the club's purpose of keeping Science students in touch with church work and the interesting programs given at meetings keeps interest high among the mcmlrers. Meetings arc held every other Sunday in the Bethel Lutheran Church, with ten cents being charged to take care of the lunch expenses. Committees of eight are picked from the Lutheran student body to prepare the program and lunch. Some of the activities of the club this year were a Get-acquainted party at Chahinkapa Park in the first week of school with eighty present, a well-attended roller skating party ami a taffy pull. Miss Schulz, the club’s faculty adviser, and six members of the club attended the National Convention of L.S.A. members in Brookings, S. Dak., November 3, 4, and 5. Ilene Hart, Frances Kngen, Elaine Duhn, Altha Braaten, Harlow Even son, and Magne Bjornson were the six members. Rev. P. A. Gisvold, pastor of the Bethel Church, was a helpful unofficial adviser for the club, while Miss Schulz was the facultx adviser. Officers were Bernice Bry-dahl, president: Kenneth Snxliaug, vice-president; Elaine Duhn, secretary; Frances Engen, treasurer; and Kenneth Mattson, publicity chairman. THE -QCUJjQj) 0 19 4 JJL Esther Sciiulz C?iaau}a6lii 0 19 4 0 Architects Club Fifteen students in drafting and estimating and architectural engineering make up the membership of this club, one of the smallest organizations on the campus. The club engages in a number of activities throughout the year and, in spite of its small si .c, interest in it is strong. Only one party was held hut the club engaged in several other activities during the year. The one party was given early in January, with cards being played as the main entertainment of the evening. Gottfried Anderson, faculty adviser, and three club members took in a National Builder's Convention in Minneapolis, on •March 14-17, and reported an enjoyable time. The three mcmlnrs were Melvin Peterson, Leonard Gerzewski and George Krug. First year architects are included in the surveying class which makes a field trip every spring under the guidance of Mr. Anderson. The trip furnishes the students with valuable surveying experience and is a welcome change from class work. Mr. Anderson was faculty adviser for the club, which was governed by Sylvester Petoskev, president. Louis Mosbrookcr. vice-president; and Milton Johnson, secretary-treasurer. r l ' J m S. I sr . y a Gottfried An'derson' German Club Every student in German 1 and II is a member of the German Club, which functions each year as a purely cultural organization. Meetings are held once or twice each quarter whenever material i ready for presentation. German Lieder by the foremost lyric poets. Goethe. Schiller, Heine, are memor ized: music by the great masters. Hacli. Schumann. Schubert, Mozart, Mendelssohn. and others is heard through ictor records: and examples of German art by Durer, Cranach. Holbein, and Hoffman are studied. Among the interesting programs this year was Goethe’s “Erl Konig ( I he Lari King) memorized by the first year class and recited in clioric reading to the Ger-mnn II students. The late Mine. Schu-marn-ileink's contralto voice as brought out in the Victor Recording of “ I lie Lrl Konig was inspiring to bear. This was followed by the concert transcription In Franz Lit , of Shubcrt s Erl Konig.” a master lesson in piano. The German Club fosters the use of German in songs and speech—to give the student an appreciation for and practice in the use of this foreign tongue. THE aCUJ}QAJJL 0 19 4 0 Esther Schulz Tin-Airs Club Sheet metal and air-conditioning students, thirty-live of them, make up the membership of this social organization, a new cluli on the campus. Organized for the first time late in January, the new club has not yet engaged in many activities. Once a month meetings in the Trades Building were decided on at the organization meeting. Dues were light this first year, with fifteen cents for membership cards being the only charge. It is always a difficult first year for new clubs on the campus, but the not in-considcrbalc enthusiasm shown by the members of the club in its first year, makes the future of the organization look rather bright. (icorgc Soltis and B. E. Mogcr were the faculty advisers for the club. Paul Nyre was president; Troy Daniels, viec-prcsi dent; Dwayne Brown, secretary; Stanley Schuett, treasurer; and Don Lock, sergeant-at-arms. THE ■aau}QM U 19 4 0 B. E. IlOGEK Auto Electric Club of the lunch served. Cards were played at all the meetings, and one get-together was entertained by a speech on carburetion and ignition timing by Chas. Sturdevant of Wahpcton. Another meeting saw A1 Cassidy give an interesting talk on the Hawaiian Islands, China and Japan. Fred Ranee, auto electric instructor, was the faculty adviser for the club. Emmett Kraft was president; and Chester Erickson was vice-president; and Clarence Sundquist was sccrctarv-treasurer. oicAOM QAlSL 0 19 4 0 Approximately fifty members of the Auto Electric class made tip the membership of this club, one of the most recent organizations on the campus. Though it functioned only during the winter term, the club found time to engage in several interesting activities. Roth the social and the educational side of life were taken care of in the various meetings held by the club. Meetings were held monthly in the Auto Electric Shop, with a ten cents charge being made for each meeting to pay the cost Band The Science School Band this year was one of the largest and best that the school has had for many years. Under the able direction of L. C. Buslcc, the band was present at most of the school athletic contests and many assemblies, and did much to enliven these occasions with its stirring music. Composed of 30 pieces, the band had a THE qclutaAm. 0 1940 large repertoire of marches and classical selections. Several fine soloists and ducts were developed and presented selections at assemblies. The band held its regular practice sessions twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Attendance at these meetings was very good and the members deserve much credit for their efforts. L. C. Buslee y Girls’ Glee Club Twenty-eight girls were members of the 1930-40 Gill's Glee Club, which met regularly on Wednesday afternoons for rehearsals. They appeared with success on several programs here at Science. In the winter term, they took part in the All- Music Assembly, choosing as their selection Robert Horns' Scotch ballad “ Bonnie Doon.” The girls also took part in the Mother’s Day program and in the Spring Music Assembly. Seven of this year's group arc second-vear students. The group was directed by M iss Schulz. Members of the Glee Club also appeared with the Girl’s Triple 'Trio during the past year. Selected after Christmas of each year, this group sings selections requiring fewer voices than the Glee Club. The girls sang as part of the winter Music Assembly and also took part in the program for the Mother’s Tea of the Sacajewea Club, and in Commencement and Baccalaureate exercises. Members were: Maureen Johnson, Jane Peterson, Constance Michael, Elizabeth Needham, Helen Twctc, Joan Winslow, Iris Anderson, Inez Wilbrccht, Edna Nu-pen, and Ramona Bellows. THE aau}aAii U 19 4 0 1SL A Girls’ Trio and Men’s Quartet The three girls of this group, Rilla Jane Rowe, Bernice Brvdahl, ami Jeanne Suiter, arc all seniors ami will graduate this year. Rehearsals for the group arc held at least twice a week under the direction of Miss Schulz. This outstanding organization has been a part of several Science School and numerous local programs. 'The girls appreciated being asked to sing at the opening of the new Hotel Wahpeton, at the Richland County Broadcast. April 6, and for many literary and social clubs. Am«� ng their favorites songs were: “Moonbeams” by Victor Herbert. La Rosita. American-Spanish song by Dupont, “Mv Mother Bids Me Bind My Hair, Soft Winds Coming from the Sea. When 1 grow too Old to Dream, The l ack.” No Candle Was There And No Tire,” and Around the Manger. Miss Schulz was director for the group ami Marie Sjolscth was accompanist. Nicholas Krump, Lambert (lilies. Milton Sletten, and Francis Hermes arc the members of this group, which has sung for several local and neighboring clubs, as well as appearing on our assembly programs. Among their selections arc: Chloc, Around the Corner. “B railin' Lullaby, and ‘I he Apple and the Worm. Milton Sletten is the only graduating member of the group. aCLU}CL JJL 0 10 4 0 Men’s Chorus Thirteen Science School male singers made up the membership of the Men’s Chorus, directed by Miss Schulz. Though athletic events, in which many members took part, made attendance irregular during the winter term, the group appeared with success on several programs. Attendance was very fine during the fall and spring terms, while during the winter small groups rehearsed numbers to be used in the spring term. “Sweet Genevieve” and “Jacob’s Ladder, two songs which the group sang at the Fall Term Music Assembly, were the favorite numbers of the boys. THE QCMXlbJUL 0 10 4 0 So-cial Activiti b THE THE SOCIAL WHIRL Assemblies and Parties SPIRIT OF S.S.S. 1st Assembly 5.5.5. Gym. September 27—As the last chords of “When Song Is Sweet” and the the lirst phrase of “Over the Rainbow, ’ both from the current movie, “The Wizard of filled the atmosphere of the gym, we realized that Altha Braaten. former Concordia Cobber, through the medium of her sweet, soprano voice, was formally opening the lirst of our weekly general assemblies. Mr. McMahon gave a brief discussion on general college life, emphasizing the necessity of developing an aristocracy of talents and character in preference to wealth and social prestige ami the fact that this can he obtained only through the utilization of facilities provided for a responsible student. After Miss Sclmlz succeeded in getting the general melody of “Go, Science, Go” across, the S.S.S.’ers really did some going of their own. Announcements were made by President Riley, who presided throughout the session, Mr. Cavanaugh, and Bernice Brv-dahl. In view of the fact that assemblies arc being stressed this year, we suggest (as a starter in the right direction) that: When bigger and better assemblies arc made.... S. S. S. will make them! DEFEATED BUT NOT DEFEETED First Science Mixer 5.5.5. Gym, Sept. 29—Yes, indeed! 'Flic Wildcats were handed their first gridiron defeat in three years tonight, which causes us little or no. concern since everyone knows that it was an “off night for the boys and isn’t likely to be repeated. 'Those Wildcats, (turned Hep Cats), can really shake a mean leg once they get started. We lassies have all wc can do to keep up with the terrific pace they set, each one of the fairer sex wondering just how the hoys can dance all night after playing a strenuous game. You tell ’em, Brown! In the absence of President Riley, whose greeting at the first S.S.S. I lob Nob has become a Science tradition, Mr. Havert) welcomed both new and second year students on behalf of the faculty. Jimmy Richer acted in the same capacity for the second year students, and Helen Twetc, (rhymes with sweetie—we wonder) re-:ponded for the freshmen. Having dispensed with the opening ceremony, students “tackled the huge task of getting actpiainted with all S.S.S. in twenty minutes and only name cards to guide them. It was lots of fun. though, and by the time the “everybody dance command was given the average mixer had at least fifty “possible dates tucked firmly, if a little remotely, into his mind ready for filing and future reference. Just by the way of review, let’s sec: Cal! 426-W if you’re lonesome, Buzz 429-W if you’re gay. King 429-J if you’d have a twosome (double date). And 365-W for a ’Mate” for all day. Red Royer’s musical notes, positively dripping with danceable rhythm, fell by the score on the ears of S.S.S. students, who responded with a good for all night variety of shagging, jitterbugging, and waltzing, too. Ab.olutely disregarding the school’s tradition of ending a campus party at exactly midnight, S.S.S.’ers and their gal friends danced on until the “wee-est of wee hours. 1:00 a. m. No official explanation was made but students gathered that due to the length of the football game, faculty members sponsoring the party decided to relent a little on the subject of “finis,” with the hour of I :()0 being the direct result. Well, one excuse is as good as another; certainly no one minded their change of heart. So. as the hands of the clock on the wall sped (they did go extra fast, didn’t you think?), around to “one minute to one” S.S.S.’ers prepared to say good night to the first mixer of the season, but with a wary eye to future parties, and Good Night to their latest dream girl, (with a lusty smack!). WILL YOU, OR WONT YOU? Second Assembly S.S. S. Gym, Oct. 6—“Do you or don’t you love me? queried the mother, Jean Hendrickson; Will you or won't you let me have the car? chorused both daughter, Julia Barnard, and son, James Gunderson to father, Louis Brewster, in the one act comedy, Who Gets The Car?” featured during the assembly period this morning. The perpetual family argument concerning the use of the car was in full swing during the entire sketch, putting “Dad” ltetween the proverbial d—1 and the dark blue sea. With an interpretation which certainly rates among assembly goers, the Wop-Mi actors built the play up to an amusing climax, when a telephone call from the local garage revealed that a leak had been discovered in the gas tank of the mucli-fought-ovcr-auto and would not be repaired until the morrow. Thus poor pa’s problem was solved, his home life bettered (for the moment), and his wife, daughter, and son all caught as speechless victims of circumstance. Miss Ida Krstad directed the production. Precceding the play, Miss Schulz, directed the group singing of “America” and directly after the skit, campus announcements were made by Bernice Brydahl, Karl Orchard, and Mr. Haverty. POLLY, PUT THE KKTTLK ON (and we’ll all have tea) Home Kc rooms, October 6—Formally receiving campus “Little Sisters” at the first all feminine S.S.S. party were Miss Larson, Bernice Brydahl and Grace Katchclhoffcr. Formal, as far as the receiving ‘line-up’ went, the gathering proved to be definitely informal in costume. So few “bonnets” appeared that those in evidence actually seemed out-of-place, while just-below-thc knee silk afternoon dresses appeared to be the preferred trend in frocks. While sipping tea and munching on some tasty cookies, the Big ’n’ Little’ sisters were entertained in several musical selections, piano ami vocal, ami a tap dancing number. Conversation, if you can fathom it, actually lagged, at various times.—This new high in speech control, on the part of “Science” lassies, was entirely due to the self-consciousness of many girls—which accordingly set the entire afternoon with ait extremely tense atmosphere. However, when each guest had made up her mind that it was time she leave, I noted a marked relaxation from which point on she really enjoyed herself. S.S.S. BAND MEMBERS TAKE A BOW Third Assembly 5.5.5. Gym, October 12—Under the able direction of Mr. L. C. Buslee. members of the Science School Band were formally launched for the 1939-40 school session, when they opened the program of our third general assembly meeting this morning. Their debut consisted of several outstanding band numbers, but by far the most popular selection played was their arrangement of Go, Science, Go.” Assembly today was more of a pep rally than anything else, with Betty Merchant, I lone Hart, and Dale Skaarcr taking charge of the yell practice for our big game with Valley City tonight. Coach “Skip was given a tremendous ovation when he arose to address the group on the general subject of football.. ..but you know how Skip always gets you laughing over one of his witticisms, modestly states something about the last game, and hurries from the public view before you realize that he has even begun.. . .you ought to be a public speaker. Coach ... .no one would have time to get bored. Each of our gridiron heroes were induced to say something on their favorite subject also, and it was observed they resembled their coach in more ways than one. Good thing for S. S. S. that it doesn't take our Itoys as much time to think up a move on the field as it docs a few words before the student body. Oh, well, you’re football plavcrs, not speakers, eh, hoys? Up V at ’em, Wildcats! THE ORDER OF SACAJAWEA Election of Officers 5.5.5. Main Auditorium, October 11— Assembling in the auditorium the third period this morning, past and would-be members of the Sacajawca Club met for (lie purpose of reorganizing for the new school year and to elect officers. Miss Edith Larson explained the purpose of the club, its aim to secure a one hundred per cent memliership including every girl on the campus, and enumerated the various requirements, stressing the unusually reasonable membership rate of eighty cents per year. Afford it? At this rate no one could afford to miss it. Presiding officer Ciracc Katchelhoffcr, elected last year as the Jr. College representative. had some difficulty in getting the nominations started, but once the first romince hail been named, Ciracc had no small amount of trouble keeping track of the inflowing nominations. As always— the ringing of the class Ml terminated the session before the election returns had been tabulated, but later a notice on the bulletin board informed students that the order’s new President is He mice Hrydahl; Camille Sturdevant is Vice-President; Klaine Duhn is Secretary; Necia Black is Treasurer; Evelyn Nelson, Scribe; and Ciracc Katchelhoffcr, Program Chairman. MAIL, HAIL, THE GANG’S ALL MERE! S.S.S. Gym. October 27, 1939- Alumni and students joined forces in “rolling out the barrel last night to the syncopated off-beats of Vern Wellington and his orchestra. Smooth is no word for Wellington’s tempo. No, suit! We prefer accented rhythm, Dixeland style, and have found that he’s the one to serve it. Yeh, Man! Everyone was well on the road to having himself a bit of a time, as it were, when—a little fanfare if you please—enter. Our Queen! Striking indeed was her majesty’s dark attractiveness enhanced by the pure white of her floor-length gown.- Young swains were not wanting when it came to giving Queen Edna a royal welcome, and what is more, they rushed her royally all evening (which is exciting for an hour or two. Hut about the time “after the ball is over was lie-coming a literal truth, the poor girl (pardon me—Milady) didn’t possess a “best tout’’ to put “forward” ’cause one felt as badly as the other. Costumes, so far as the fairer sex was concerned, remained typically American —collegiate from ‘pork pic’ felts to saddle oxfords and pom poms. However, we did have some imported goods—such as a gal from Minneapolis, whose care-o-Van isn’t to he overlooked. Getting down to heart throbs among our alumni, we find that Hernard Kirchen is doing his best to get a certain Miss. S. to set the date. Also returning to the scene of their college days were Ernie Christianson (you’ll find him in both the ’38 and ’39 editions of ye tilde Agawasic, rated most popular and Mr. Science, respectively,) and Dorothy Johnson, who kept West Cottage gals under her wing in the memorable days gone by. We found out, too, what it is that makes a Proxy’s son’s heart happy—former S.S.S. homecoming queens (’38’s in particular) who return to their Alma Mater in school colors. And so, with the playing of “Home, Sweet, Home” another Science Homecoming revival came to a rather definite finis about three o’clock in the morning (well, wasn’t that about the time you rambled off to bed even though the strains of that homegoing melody were heard some two hours earlier?) Mumbling to yourself, you undoubtedly went over another chorus of “Hail, Hail” (that one about the ‘gang’ being there) and it’s our wager that you tumbled sleepily into Ml to keep your somewhat belated date with a dream. DID YOU-ALL ENJOY IT? Assembly S.S.S. Gym—Entertaining us this morning was “Uncle Hob”, of WCCO Kiddie Hour renown, with a variety of Negro Spirituals, his own arrangements of many old negro favorites, and a few original ditties. After singing a chorus of “Home On 1‘he Range” our Gentleman from the South, with the soft slur in his voice, requested the asisstancc of S.S.S.’crs and Coeds. However, it would seem that the vocal assistance of us ‘po’ white trash’ is not what it could be for our colored brethren seem to really pour their hearts into all songs, while wc arc much less cn thu iastic about impromptu group singing.

It would seem, to the casual onlooker, that the co-cducatcd youth at Science have an over-supply of Lone-Wolf spirit when it comes to escorting their best girl friends to parties listed on the student activity card. ’Tis rumored among some of the best people that this is an incurable situation and they support their statement by sadly remarking that it has been going on for years and not even President Rilcv can do anything about this staggin' preferred” state of affairs. . .but, then, there are those among us who advance the optimistic theory that in another year a sure-fire” remedy would be to include a feminine friend along with the already required Student Activity Ticket as Musts before any of our campus males are permitted to set foot on the hi monthly stamping grounds.. .oh, well.. .such a solution has its points, but whether in the right direction or not is just another headache.

Despite the discussion of party etiquette at this week’s Sacajawca Mc-ow, I noted a surprising number of young S.S.S. ladies with crossed legs... .can it he that girls at Science consider their sheer party hose and twinkling toes shown off to better effect with crossed legs, or is it just from force of habit that this out-moded feminine trait is still practiced? And so. .. .with the observation that all good things must end (This musta really been Good ’cause here is the morning after already) I am forced to allow another definitely superior Hob-Nob to fade from reality into just a memory. TIIK DKAR DEPARTED Assembly S.S.S. Gym. November 29. 1939—Six members of the Dramatic Club, including the Misses Sjolsctli. Thurlow. and Hurst and the Messrs. Williams, Hrydahl, and Krump, entertained S.S.S. assembly go-ers tltis morning with a one-act play entitled The Dear Departed.” Marie Sjolsctli played (and very well, too) the part of a dominating, all-for-my family type of woman, while Mr. Krump played opposite Marie as Henry Slater, the typical hen-peeked husband. Delores Thurlow made an excellent “little girl for the Slaters, although she informed me that in the past she has always played “little old lady” parts. In any event, little” is the applying adjective so I really don’t think it matters whether “old or “young” is combined with it. Irving Hrydahl was simply supreme in his portrayal of an eccentric old “grandpa who “returned from the dead and announced his definite intentions to wed, all within the lapse of a bare fifteen minutes (stage time, of course). Mr. Williams, cart in the role of Hen Jorden, is a veteran dramatic club actor and played opposite Lillian Hurst, who was cast as .Mrs. Jordon. sister of Mrs. Slater, a rather haughty character and just as set on getting her own way as her sister (from other comments I am forced to refrain, since writing reviews of one’s own latest play just isn't being done this season). I might as well say, however, that in view of the few-’n-far between, generally disrupted practices we had, the play went off” much better than any of us bad dared to hope. Here arc a few little tips I’d like to pass along to those of you who next attempt to present a play on the gym stage and under the direction of Mr. Sands: never plan to have anything backstage 'cause there is hardly room for a few humans, let alone a lot of stage properties and do memorize your lines before the eleventh hour ’cause Mr. Sands is (alas!) a non-believer in the backbone (I always used to think) of every play—his majesty, the prompter. nr as run week before VACATION Assembly Wednesday, Dec. 6, 1939—S.S.S. Gym—Yes, we had our last assembly for the year, this fine—superfine—morning. Lacking as was our campus in typical holiday costume—our Ixrautiful, sparkling crystals of pure, white snow in the past so plentyful—judging from the atmosphere created within by S.S.S. carolers, Bernice, Killa Jane, and Jean. Their trio arrangement of Christmas favorites and the version of Silent Night played by the latter two as a piano duct, made one hardly realize there was any difference between this pre-festive season and the many hundreds which have been celebrated since the birth of Christ. Casting a cloud of temporary gloom over a hcrc-to-for light hearted group was Mr. McMahon when he brought up that never-to-be-forgotten head-ache of all college students—the subject of TESTS—Mis not being a topic exactly welcomed by the Hirers of our collegiate masses. Mr. McMahon did receive the undivided attention of us poor “next week” victims-----you couldn’t guess that: We’re shootin’ high, (Till next week) In the sky, (Things look bleak;) 'Tell you why— (We’re not teacher’s pets;) For an A (Impossible? You bet!) BYE, BYE HOLIDAY FORMALITIES All-college Christmas Formal Jingle bells, jingle bells, Swing it while we sway— Oh! What fun it is to dance In a formal just this way; Jitterbug and jivers. too Not anyone feels blue— Oh! The joys that’s ours tonight, ’Cause that rhythm’s quite ALL RICH 1 ! S.S.S. Gym. Dee. 8, 1939—You'd never believe it if you know the S.S.S. students, but many of our most ardent rug cutters have willfully declare I that sophisticated swing is the only thing that “goes” with lloor length skirts and perfectly waxed floors on extra special formal dates. Having had tllC good fortune to step into the main ballrom .... of course it’s jut another basketball court to Dick Tabert .... during the middle of a number with unusual makes-you-wanta-dance qualities, I received the full benefit of of lords and ladies of the S.S.S. variety going to town in an entirely foreign sort of way. As I gavzed unbelievably........ rather impolitely staring, in fact---at first one. then another, and still another former sloppy Joe” in saddle oxfords now gracefully gliding to and fro across the floor quite as though lie had been practising nothing else since our dancing season opened last fall. I kept assuring myself that it was Hunsy 1 was watching, but oh, the change which had come over her usual spirited style of dancing. The swish of rustling taffeta, the glitter of silk net created a colorful December scene the like of which the old gym has never reen before. I'll wager. It seemed to me that the “strange” young ladies were playing dress-up in a land of make-believe for only yesterday hadn’t I seen them attired as usual in the accepted cardigan classics, strolling across the campus in their customary devil-may-care manner? 'This sudden fantasmagora almost proved too much for Yours Truly, as in vain I tried to match my steps with those of my partner’s and at the same time fully comprehend the meaning of this unheralded deviation from normal Science dance routine. As the evening progressed . . . which it did all too ]uickly .... I was surprised to note that the heretofore infallible Twctc-Orchard duo had split up for the evening. Equally surprising was the realization that Johnny I don’t dance” Wajjar was among those present and not merely for photographic purposes . . . . Merchant certainly has a way of getting what she wants, eh? But, Wagar has a system of his own, too, and has solved the problem of how a non-dancer can successfully attend even formal parties . . .he asks his friends for the 20th, 34th and 56th dances when there arc only 13 programmed dances, so is he to blame if the orchestra short-changed him out of all his dances? Two lighted fir trees aided our faithful spot lights and added a Christmas-like atmosphere to our celebration. Disregarding the light, the music, and the guests, old man Midnight arrived at the usual hour and allowed drowsy Miss One O’Clock to send us on our chilly way at the customary hour. CAMPUS “SQUAWS” IN FESTIVE MOOD Sacajawea Christmas Party Main Building Assembly, Dec. II,— Ugh! A heap big group we were, too, when all assembled together tonight and very well did we without our campus “chiefs.” Having smoked the pipe of peace (roll call to you) we proceeded to relax and allow a few of our talented number to amuse us. In a brief dramatic sketch entitled ‘Three’s A Crowd’ we found that Betty Merchant has glamorous aspirations but an extremely impatient spirit, while her sister, (in the play, of course) Grace Rachelhoffer, was very appealing in her sweet and simple” role. Both girls, I thought, played their parts with a naturalness and grace which is so often lacking in amateur dramatics. The ‘stern father’ facial expression invented by Mr. Don Pease were very life-like, but if he ever expects to command the attention and immediate obedienc of the “little folks in his household. I fear he will have to acquire a “gruff” quality in his speech. Obviously, Lambert Gilles acquired his modern “Romeo” technique from the realms of his own theater, and in regard to Harold Lange, I can say only that naiveness such as he portrayed, must be the result of practiced innocence. Again offering their services in the field of entertainment were the Girl's Glee Club, and Bernice. Rilla Jane, and Jean. Adding that just-right touch of local color was Maureen Johnson when she appeared in full Indian costume, owned bv Sacajawea’s granddaughter, and artfully recited the tale of poor Winona (who was in love with the wrong man—take a tip, ye co-eds of S.S.S.) Directly following our program , wc tripped across the campus to the cafeteria where wc proceeded to greet Santa (wonder what Lilly Nielson knows about him that wc don’t) with all the noise and clamor of an actual pow-wow... .the dorm boys will vouch for that. The evening’s refreshments were welcomed, if n trifle impatiently, by bursts of song; such as “Wc arc just like birds in the wilderness. . . .waiting for our food.” And so, with the final flash of Johnny’s (you know him.... Merchant’s current beau) camera, our all feminine hob nob came to an any-thing-lnit-quiet end. THERE’S MUSIC IN THE AIR Assembly S.S.S. Gym, January 24, 1940—Many are the times that S.S.S.’crs have entertained the “Brcck” students....of a Satur- day night .... but this morning Brecken-ridge high school students came right out on our campus to entertain us during our regular assembly period. Assuring the entertainers of a good beginning. the high scltool band whizzed through three spirited introductory numbers. Directly following up this superior lead” was the girls’ trio. All went unusually well, until the gals went into a whistling routine in the last chorus, whereupon assembly goers became more audibly amused than polite. 'Flic cause of the sudden amusement, it seems, was not the actual whistling, but the way in which the whistling was done...just another one of those times when it would have been well to have had only the use of our cars. The laughter having subsided, and the trio having finished their number, Miss Gaul rapp proceeded to the solo which she had prepared for the occasion. But one song turned into two songs, and if SCIENCE had had its way Shirley would have gone on indefinitely. Having concluded their program as well as they had begun it. only this time with a number by the Girls’ Triple 'I’rio, the “Brcclc” representatives relaxed in their chairs to listen to some announcements pertaining to campus activities. .Most unique, and therefore most interesting. was the little chalk talk which our own Millard Larson gave on the subject of Dutch Dates. According to our informer “Split the Cost and Double the Fun dating is very much in vogue on other campuses and incidentally, with the expenses of the Dinner-Dance in the offing, it is only natural for Mr. Larson’s mastermind to figure out some way to remain in the good graces of his Forman. I could go on, but the hell saves our hero and 1 must away to class. JUNIOR COLLEGE FORMAL Odd Fellows Hall, January 29, 1940— What is worse than a WEEK-END CAMPUS? “SCHOOL, on the MORNING AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE, chorus sleepy co-eds as they make their weary way in the general direction of OLD MAIN this morning after attending the annual JUNIOR COLLEGE dinner-dance last night. Somehow McMA-HON and RILEY seem to look as spry as ever. Guess the younger generation is slipping.... if you don’t believe it, look at ARCHER and then cast a glance in his dad’s direction. Anyway it was a brilliant affair while it lasted, and one of THE special events of the year at SCIENCE. Gay, laughing couples strolled up n down between the beautifully laid banquet tables (thanks to MISS FORKNER and her HOME EC GIRLS), peering anxiously at each plate in search of their place cards. Red and black tapers ran the full length of each table and candles tied at the base with red ’n silver gauze ribbon added that JUST RIGHT S.S.S. touch to the atmosphere. Presiding at the head table was Junior College Club Pres. JIMMY L1EBER and by his side sat BERNICE BRY-DAIIL. looking very sweet and unassuming in royal blue taffeta. Jr. College Club Secretary, MILLARD LARSON, wasn’t wasn’t far oft ’n judging from the way in which he and JIM dished out the DIRT on each other’s PAST you’d think he ought not to have been there at all. This LIEBER-LARSON verbal feud was news to me. but it was carried on in such a convincing and whole-hearted manner that if it was not the real thing, it more than served its purpose because of its very clever timing. I noted that R1 LEY and ZIMMERMAN have one speaking gesture in common—that of pocketing their hands. Good idea, methinks, ’cause it keeps them out of mischief and allows the other guests to concentrate on facial expressions. LIEB-ER. on the other hand, is a NAPKIN DOODLER when he speaks. . .notice those minute bits of paper which surrounded his chair at the close of the dinner? The various department speeches given were brief, to the point, and surprisingly witty. ROYER featured some exceptionally ZIPPY rhythm for after dinner dancing, and believe me, those swingy notes didn’t fall on deaf ears—nor waltzing feet. Outstanding among the colorful formats were a completely colorless frock of crisp white cotton net worn by Hill Murie’s G. F., CAMILLE; and a teal blue taffeta trimmed with maroon velvet ribbon which made our little Homecoming Queen. EDNA NUPEN, more attractive than ever. Yes, it’s loads o’ fun to spend an evening Dinner-dancing Making romancing Fun; But, oh! I say, “It’s Wednesday today, ’N my work isn’t done!” FIRST CARD PARTY Because a large number of our Scientists, both boys and girls, arc totally unfamiliar with the terpsichorcan art, and because there just aren’t enough of the female sex it. the school to gladden the heart of every boy, the faculty decided to hold card parties this year for their entertainment. All girls were invited, but the boys who had attended the previous dance were not included. We were greatly surprised when almost 200 turned out. Whist was played, more or less the way it’s supposed to be, and a few lucky individuals strutted home somewhat richer than when they arrived. Prof. 1. Quizzum, (Prof. Habcrinan in real life), entertained us by conducting a quiz program with a variety of foolish questions to which he got equally foolish answers. Some misguided individual even got the nationalities of our instructors mixed! Gaylord Anderson and Tony Lien walked off with the major prizes, winning fifteen and fourteen hands, respectively, of the sixteen played. Which is not h.nl, in anybody’s game. Poor “Red” Van Buren had nine chances at the other prizes and lost every time. Must have been exasperating. Willie Keller and Emil Humann were more fortunate, and got third and fourth prizes. Anyway, when the prizes had all been given, we, of course getting nothing, trotted hack through the snow and to bed. HEAR THEM BELLS? Assembly S.S.S. Gym, Feb. 13 1940—Armed with a score of tuneful “Ho-ho’s”. .not unlike those of Disney’s little creations or don’t you remember Snow White., four Ambassadors of Music came, saw, and conquered their S.S.S. audience by a knockout in the first round. .it's that Golden Gloves business in Minneapolis you can blame for this lead . . nice going, boys! We Science lassies are truly grateful to the Ambassadors for the “turn of the worm” which they brought about when they proved that Mc-owing could be anything from a cat on the back fence to a male quartet arrangement . . thereby revoking the time-honored theory that all Catty expressions originate in the beauty parlor or over the tea cups, .a decision for us gals. Bob. Bill. Lloyd, and Tarzan scored a definite hit when they rang out the bells. . Swiss were the latter, and plenty swift were the harmonious tones which tumbled out one after another as the Imys’ “magic” touches formed the notes into melodies which we recognized as “Melody in F. “To a Wild Rose......Flic Mocking Bird. When Lloyd, of the tenor voice, sang “Tango of the Roses,” we were surprised to find ourselves comparing his voice with that of our own campus serenadcr. .surely you know Sands..not only arc they rival tenors, but.. .you saw for yourself.. .they even look alike. The Ambassadors’ version of Mary Had a Little Lamb was amusing to say the least, but I am inclined to believe that their art made a more lasting impression when, by means of the Swiss bells, they rkcichcd a musical portrait of a “Sunday Morning In London”, .from London to an American “Sleigh Ride is quite a jaunt, but it was during the latter that our S.S.S. bell decided to cut out all competing bells and proceeded to clang away in its usual c mmanding manner. Evidently, taking obvious hints is just another one of the virtues of the Ambassadors, for they promptly brought the program to a close, if a bit suggestively, by singing “The Animals Are Coming .... if they had reference to the Science student body, methinks 1 he Thundering Herd would have been more descriptive of assembly goers dashing back to class... .but I must be off to bed now. . so (I’Night. THANK YOU, DR.. AND YOU TOO, MR. WASHINGTON Assembly S. S. S. Gym, Feb. 22, 1940....“Let Freedom Ring chorused some six hundred S. S. S. ’ers as they finished the first verse of America and so began our Washington Anniversary program with an appropriate patriotic background. Never-Fail McMahon was on the spot again with an account of our greatest president which produced an effect not unlike that received after reading Strange As It Seems articles... If Johnny Wagar and Al Tebben become famous for their Brass----- I re- fer to their trumpets.... we’ll have had the pleasure of having heard their duct arrangements first... .can't help wondering what it is about Ralph Mecklcnhcrg’s Trombone solos that make him the Tommy Dorsey of our campus... .“They're inspirational” quoth some bosom pals of his.. . .so maybe it’s his girl friend who inspires him when he “drawls” out the notes of “Getting Sentimental Over You.” Coincidence: Today is George Wash- ington Haverty’s birthday.... Mrs. Hav-erty married him under an alias of George William... .as well as that of our beloved statesman. Here’s where we come to the “ I hank You, Dr.” portion of our program... .Dr. Hud Krug, brain specialist, and nurse Evelyn Nelson found they had been dealing with a professional jewel thief when Lambert Gilles, who turned out to be a super-sleuth, succeeded in apprehending Maureen Johnson and thereby proved that James Leiher was actually the jewelry clerk he claimed to be, and not a mental patient... .and so, the entertainment ended, hack we trudged to classes. CARD PARTY Card Party, Friday, Feb., 23—Since the first card party had been such a success, we had great expectations for this one and they were more than fulfilled. A mixture of whist, prizes, and movies of the good old slapstick variety can do nothing but produce a good time. In ease you missed these parties, here's how the card playing works. I he tables arc numbered from one to somewhere above fifty and partners and tables for the first game arc given on the tickets at the door. When everyone has found where he is supposed to be seated, somebody t«n ts a whistle and everyone starts playing madly. In a short time the whistle shrills again and everyone strips. If you're extremely lucky and have won your game, you get a punch in a little blue card and move on to the next table. Simple, isn’t it ? At the end, the people with the most punches get the prizes. After the card playing for the evening was over, and the prizes had been distributed, Evelyn Nelson and Nicholas Krump, our Science songbirds, each gave us several fine vocal numbers. Johnny Wagar contributed one of his inimitable trumpet solos and Hud Krug and Philip Steidl played a number of impromptu songs, old and new, on an accordian and guitar. They made quite a hit with their informal style. (You’d make great vaudeville entertainers, boys!) The last thing on the program were several reels of movies, cartoon comics of the good old slapstick variety. Movie-man Ed Scnccal had quite a hit of difficulty making things stand right side up on the screen at first, hut that was soon remedied and we really enjoyed the heroic deeds of the blacksmith and the puppets. 'Flic evening was so crowded with events that before we realized it. it was time to be off to bed. The success of these parties will make them a regular Science institution. I am sure. Hope we can have more next year! ASSEMHLY S.S.S. Gym, February 28, 1940—Not only do “Wop” high school girls have swing trios, they have dancers among them, too. Two young ladies attired in rather abbreviated Scotch plaid skirts proved my fir t statement to he a fundamental truth when they tapped out a couple of routines which left Assembly Goers applauding for more. It would seem that Krump has some rhythmic notes to add to the program, also, or mavhe you class “Night and Day , and “llcigii Ho! Come to the Fair” with period music...suit yourself. When it comes to Mccklenbcrg’s R. Q. (rhythm quotient), I know there are at least two persons who will agree with me about the possibilities of romance when M’s trombone “gives out” on “Getting Sentimental Over You”....hut don’t ask Gushwa or O’Keefe about it ’cause they were busy....well, just b-u-s-y. Now for the Sheridan part of our morning diversion... to quote my fellow listeners “She’s a scream. And believe me, Mrs. Sheridan practically rolled them in the aisles” when she gave her interpretation of “A Stenographer Talks Hack and “Ole” Determined not to l e outdone by their star trombonist, members of the Science band proved that they were still very listenablc by playing “Trombonology. I might add that they certainly did all right for themselves in the way of applause. WES T COTTAGE, March 2, 1940— At precisely 8:00 o’clock ten current H.K.s of West Cottage gals were ushered into the strangely unfamiliar living room of that feminine abode. We admit that it really wasn't fair to have taken such a surprise advantage of our unsuspecting guests, but oh! we did enjoy doing it. I have reference to the appearance of our “parlor which had surrendered to eight determined young ladies on Saturday afternoon, when they descended upon it, armed with prize possessions from their individual living quarters. Pillows, rugs. lamps, occasional tables, pictures, doilies, and even elephants ‘n dogs were brought into the I A I'.R BODY ro in of our house and assigned new duties for the evening. O’Keefe 'n roomie Hcllcsvig even went so far as to loan their attractive curtains to the parlor for a night. This unselfish gesture led to a very courageous act on the part of all those concerned . . .we up-cd n rushed our thread-bare carpet from its life s position in the center of the room to the lower story and hoped all the way downstairs that someone would toss it into the fire, so we left it very invitingly placed near the furnace ami raced hack upstairs to resume our unfinished task. CENTER contributed, under protest, a davenport and a card tah'e: MRS. HYDE. dishes; and MRS. JON ICS, everything else that we needed and didn't have. An HONORARY HEARTS SOCIETY pennant which was loaned for the event In MISS TVVICTE. was tacked up on the front door, the shades lowered, soft lights turned up. and refreshments ordered. Thus wc had completed our voluntary duties and proceeded to wait in SPIDER fashion for the ELIES which we hoped to entangle in a web of complete astonishment. We succeeded, too! Informal chattering gave wav to WINKUM, TRUTH or CONSEQUENCES. MURDER. CARD PLAYING. and then finally, LUNCH. After refreshments. GROUP SINGING, with TWETE presiding at the ivories, and DANCING provided our guests with entertainment until COTTAGE RULES ’n NECIA forced us to hid them g’night. If you arc one of those who happen to he interested in guest-lists, here’s the line-up for Saturday evening: Nccia Black........Harlow Evan o:t Margaret Yoran.........Ray Wcdcn Lucille Hcllcsvig.........Don Lock Helen Tweic...........Earl Orchard Maureen Miller.........Frank Lcct Joan Winslow.......Norman Ekblad Theresia O'Keefe... Milton Johnson Evelyn Hcllcsvig.. Herman O’Brien Lillian Hurst..........Dan Burke COEDS GO RURAL S.S.S. Gym, March S. 1940—Yep! We really showed ’em, Podncr. They ain’t a hoy left on this here campus what can truthfully kid pals into believing they was mi.jcd at last night’s striktly female combine of shindig and gabfast. Them thar Injun Dames—-I guess they call them-:elves Sacajawca gnls-surc do know how to give blowouts what would make you forgit—for the moment anyway—the name of the teller you’re planning to take to the Spring Formal. Confidcnshully, they say it's that there history sensation Edith Larsen what puts them up to all the tricks and makes the party loisa fun. Cutting the backwoods” jargon which «.ur S.S.S. lassies so conveniently acquired and put into practice for the evening, and going off on a more serious tangent, I return to the canons of better—mind you, I didn’t say ’’accepted”—journalism. No kidding. you hoys really missed something when you failed to pay your respects at that party and get a load of our program. Having everything under control, and getting the program off to an extremely applaudahc start was the contrato of cur college, blond Evelyn Nelson, with her swinging of “Ja Da.” Following in a rapid succession as the appreciative audience would permit were: a prisoner's dance—these prisoners were ultramodern, appearing in abbreviated trousers-which featured Sturdcvant’s ability to do “rubber legs steps while barefooted, and Joseph's •«!eptness at being the life of the patry; a mcllcr drainer the like of which the surprised gals had never heard—it’s strange what a number of sur-and proper names, when properly disarrange !, can contribute toward causing tluir owners to gasp in shocked surprise; a Deep Purple” solo sun by Ramona Snooks Bellows; typical western ballads in the duct fashion of cow-gals-for-a-night Twetc and Winslow, and in the personalized solo style of Elizabeth Needham; and a flashlight Devil skit in which Wop socialite, Maureen Johnson, played the part of the old fellow with the pitchfork and made him a thoroughly interesting, if a little spine-chilling, supernatural by supplementing the characterization with a typical Charles Laughton laugh. Pauline Worrier inveigled the judges into giving her first prize for her costume, which was mostly sunhonnet and bath-towel and very little costume. Running a close second were Madgel Sundr anil Inez Wilbrecht, who appeared in frocks whose skirts were pretty much gone with the wind, and their boy friend, Hermanda Hasse. who was a Hayseed if I ever saw one. Evelyn Joseph and Ilcnc Hart peddled their Schottischc wares up and down the dance floor so effectively that they won the title of Best Dancers. Lunch was just another Pickle which Pop-ed into the Salad, and came out in Ice Cream Bars to frighten the Sandwitches away. ASSEMBLY S.S.S. Gym, March 13, 1940—With BRYDAHL. ROWE, SJOLSETH. and HURST presiding at the keyboards of two pianos, %he assembly program was impressively begun in Satorio march time. From this point the musical selections advanced to a heavier type written entirely by foreign composers. MAUREEN JONSON. who sang I Love You in German....! understand she’s teaching LANGE Deutsch in her spare time, the MALE QUARTET, SJOLSETH, piano solo, ROWE n BRYDAHL, piano duets, GIRLS’ 'FRIO, GIRLS’ TRIPLE TRIO, and the GIRLS’ SINGLE TRIO presented numbers in this group. HERBERT LINCOLN, three tenor solos; ROWE, piano solo; M. JOHNSON. vocal solo; BRYDAHL. piano solo; ALTHA BRAATEN, three soprano solos; the MALE QUARTET; and ROWE n BRYDAHL, piano duet, entertained us with music chosen from the American group of composers. S.S.S. assembly go-ers seemed to agree that LINCOLN can not onlv sing but has FACIAL EXPRESSIONS which serve verv nicclv in putting his numbers across. The MALE QUARTET didn’t exactly lack appreciation, either, and they certainly came into their own with assembled classmates and friends when they harmonized on the “Apple and the Core. and Around the Corner.” Undoubtedly the HIT of the program was ALPHA BRAATEN who with her singing of The Cuckoo Clock certainly merged the unrestrained applause of the entire audience, i. .and she got it. UNRESTRAINED PLUS. FKOSH and SENIORS agree that FRAULEIN SCHULZ, who arranged the entire program and coached the entei-tainers, really knows the score when it emir- to staging musical successes. HATS OFF TO MISS SCHULZ!! YE STAGS MAKE WHOOPEE March 14. 1940 Now it came to pass that on a certain day, it being the fifth day of the week, they who loitcrcth around this campus didst gather unto each other and make whoopee in the gym. And yea, verily, they had unto themselves one 'helluva good time. For they who didst gather together to make the aforesaid whoopee didst put away the sum of one hundred and twenty dtz.’iis of puppic covers, one hundred pounds of pedigreed puppies and sundry other interior decorations. And yea, they who are cnllcth the Commercials didst flingeth the leather pellet into the bucket on the wall more than the All-Stars didst. And the Stags tooteth mightily on their klaxon and ye I let h lustily while all this came to pass. And the Stags also didst sec four warriors with tin cups bang merrily on the floor and receive many good buffets from their fellows for their pains. DeWitt didst flop Heley onto the floor and didst hold him there to win the wrestling match. And Bob Rindt, he who once didst labor as ye cowpunchcr, didst cause the Stags to gaze with righteous astonishment as he casteth his whip around in divers and very peculiar ways. And verily. I say unto thee, he also shooteth off his nuns most mightily. Hut truly it was most astonishing to sec how the Stags didst conduct themselves as warriors in the contest, which verily, were of great peculiarity and didst make the Stags litter many and numerous loud guffaws. He who sitteth upon the bench meteth out much justice, but his soothsayers and retainers were all wet, for certain of the Stags didst heaveth them under the running water and didst display pleasure most heartily at this deed. Hut when the evening didst come to its end and the Stags didst wend their homeward ways after the twelfth hour had struck, there were many of them who didst heateth on their breasts and heaveth mighty sighs because it was over. Hut, yea verily, that was to he expecteth. Probably a misprint. FRIDAY’S RASTER MONDAY HOP S.S.S. Gym, March 29, 1940—There’s really quite a trick to this“morning after” memory work, so my Saturday tasks will just have to wait until 1 jot down a line-up on last night’s fnntasmagoria of collegiate activity. Best bibs and tuckers were good enough for the Misses Science last evening; no, sireel Nothing less than last Sunday’s Easter outfit and next Friday’s beau seemed to fill the bill, unless I’m very badly mistaken. Take Mercedes 11 uppler for example.... her plain, but oh, so fetching black crepe is something SSS’ers wouldn’t object to seeing her wear again. 'Then there’s the proud papas of West Cottage girls Miller, Yoran, O’Keefe, and Winslow for whom we feel profoundly sorry, 'cause from the looks of their daughters the observer encounters little difficulty in figuring out what's left of poor pa’s bank account after the Easter holidays. Yep! The worm has turned and now “It’s the man who pays”, .which reminds me... just ask Orchard what the T (wete) ’N T(wito) combination did to his good time ....there wasn’t even a Grace to console him. because she was completely absorbed in the sweet little nothings which Martinson had saved up to whisper in an alert little ear as he swung its owner across the dance floor. If you desire further proof of my statement, try to recall how dejected and forlorn one Milton Johnson appeared as he dolefully observed his biggest little heartbeat accepting the hospitality of rival Gushwn and his week end car...don’t take it so hard, Milt, your turn is coming this very night, and then it will be Hud’s turn to sigh over O’Keefe's double life Now, your one of those non-believers who I’m talking about, I offer in my defense, refuse to be convinced that I know what the plight of drummer Ness....it seems that carrot-topped villain Skaarcr temporarily severed “date” relations between Don and Evelyn Nelson when he offered that young lady a bill for Friday night’s hop and was accepted... .no Carol-ing for a certain Forman can poor Ness do, either; the reason: teacher-killer Larson. Aside from friend trouble, the males of our campus suffered along with college lassies when Red Royer made formal dancing impossible until nine o’clock, and further solicited the dislike of rytlim minded students by short changing them three programmed dances. Thus it was, at the unpopular hour of twelve we bid goodnight to Science dancing pleasures. ASSEMBLY S.S.S. Gym. April 10, 1940—“Wop High reigned supreme at our assembly this morning. I might add that their supremacy was not only accepted, it was royally applauded. The HOYS’ DOUBLE QUARTET cut the lirst critical atmosphere by singing a negro spiritual in such a manner that by sheer force of their voice appeal they snapped their assembled friends out of a rather skeptical mood into one of enthusiastic encore. Contest DOUBLE TRIOS, MIXED QUARTETS, A MIXED OCTET, TRIOS, SAX SOLOS, and VOCAL SOLOS entertained us very effectively for about twenty-five minutes. After that we realized that the High School lads ’n lassies had been holding out on ns. because it was then that we heard the first number of “Wop High’s modernized “barber shop harmonizers, the NOON GROUP. 'Flic NOONSTERS believe that: Fen minutes a day rttST4M3fi Keeps the blues away ami they certainly proved their point. While we were still clamoring for MORE from the latter group, our ingenious entertainers made a surprise attack in the form of a MR ASS QUARTET, blown by four young boys, which really brought the house down. Verbal praise was completely inaudible above the uproar which demanded, and refused to take “no” for an answer, another number. The boys obliged with their lirst number, but refused to play another encore on the grounds that they ha« prepared no other numbers. And so another assembly ended, but not with the familiar clanging of the indefatigable class bell . ...because the program didn't last that long. It is my opinion that the only criticism which could possibly be made of this morning’s program is the fact that it was too brief.... too short for students who like to miss as much of their fourth period class as possible. However, tlte E.S.A. meeting which was held immediately after the assembly came to our rescue and we didn't have to get to class on time after all. It only goes to show that even at COLLEGE....

SCIENCE, 13; MINOT PEDS 0 The Wildcats grid machine began the 1939 reason in a fashion that upheld all expectations by defeating the Minot Beaver13—0. It was the 21st con- secutive victory for Skip Bute's proteges. The first quarter was scoreless, with Minot gaining the most yardage. However, in the second period, the Science Wildcats began to click with Lolly Cain as the sparkplug. The Beavers were In the course of the season the Wildcats rolled up 70 first downs in conference play to 27 for their opponents, and scored 79 points to 0 for the opposition. The only time Science was scored on in the 1939 season was in the game with the University of North Dakota Frc hmen, which was a non-conference tilt. The bad news at the end of this encounter was 13-6 in favor of the Frosh. Approximately 45 men aspired to pod-t'oits on the 1939 edition of the Wildcats when the re a on opened, and about 36 of the e remained faithful to practice for the entisc sea on. 'Flic squad was characterised by a large number of freshmen who kept the veterans on their toes to retain their posts all season. Much of this material will be useful and available in forming the neucleus of the 1940 squad.

Tabert, and Breuer led the way for three e« n ccutivc first downs and a pass flipped by Cain to Breuer set the team up for the first touchdown. Jules Van Burnt gained 12 yds. on an end-around play, and Dick Tahert hit pay dirt with a line plunge. A few seconds later, the score stood at 7—0 as Tahert again hit tile line, pushing the pigskin over for the extra point. The third period was scoreless, being characterized by midfield play with neither team getting within 20 yards of the goal. 'I'lte final touchdown came about midway in the forth quarter. A Wildcat punt, fumbled by a Beaver back on the Minot 20 yard line, was recovered by Van Buren. Cain called on Tahert. who came through with 19 yards over the short side of an unbalanced line.

'The Wildcats pass defense seemed unable to Cope with the situation, but the whistle stopped the play with the ball on the Science 20 yard line. Van Buren at end. and Bud Oliver and Captain Dwayne Brown at the guard positions were outstanding in the Wahpeton line. When it was all over, Science bad chalked up 10 first downs to six for the Minoters. Mention must he made of the fact that seven first year men saw action in the game, turning in very creditable performances. SCIENCE. 6; U. of N. D. FROSH, 13 'This was the Wildcats first defeat in 23 consecutive starts. 'They bad won 21 games and tied one since the opening game of the 1936 season when the A. C. Frosh defeated the Scientists. 25-0. Skip Bute and his players took the field against a much heavier team than themselves, ami the best Frosh team the U. has had in five years. 'The first half was all for the Frosh, the Wildcats seemingly unable to stop them for long or click on offense. 'The initial touchdown for the visitors came in the second quarter when they suffered a 15-yard penalty for holding and then marched down the field to score on a line plunge. 'The attempt to convert failed. 'Tahert returned the kickoff to the Science 35 yard line where Breuer picked up a TaBERT, Fullback first down, 'l'lic rally was nipped in the hud, however, as the Froth intercepted a Science pass on the next play. The Wildcats again rallied at the In-ginning of the third period when they gained on a punt exchange and then completed a pass. Cain to Van Buren on the U. 25-vard line. A lateral lost 10 yards and on the next play a Wildcat fumble was recovered by the Frosh. Science lost on an exchange of punts and the Frosh scored again, this time converting, making the score 15-0 at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth period, the Butemen, recovering a U. fumble on their own 10-yard line, drove down the field making 5 consecutive first downs and terminating the drive with a pass from the 20-yard line, Cain to Lawlor in the end .one. The attempted conversion pass fell incomplete. Brener and Tabert were the star hall carriers on the touchdown drive. Science kept the Frosh on the defensive for the entire fourth period. Captain Dwayne Brown, playing at tackle instead of guard, was the outstanding player on the field, slicing through the U. line time after time to get tackles and break up plays. Wcstphal and Brener, both freshmen, turned in hangup games, with Wcstphal getting a large number of tackles. SCIENCE, 6; MAYVILLE, 0 This game was Mayvillc’s homecoming, and was attended by one of the largest homecoming crowds in their history. They were doomed to disappointment, however, because Science ruined the day. The game started with a bang as Cain returned the opening kickoff about 35 yards, and then with only one player between him and the goal, was forced out of luninds. However, Science didn’t seem to be able to click well enough to score until the final period, when Cain tallied from the Comets’ 13 yard stripe, going around his own right end behind perfect interference. Butcher was sent in to replace Smaagaard at center, and to kick for the extra point. The fellows had a little trouble at first, figuring out how a man could center the ball, and kick it too, but, the problem was solved by shifting the versatile Hermes to center. The try for point was blocked by a veritable storm of May-villc linemen. Cain’s kicking was an important factor in favor of the Wildcats, and Dick 1 a-bert turned in some good work at the fullback post. Coach Bute’s gridders used a short pass game to great advantage. The Wildcats chalked up six first downs to five for the Comets, the final score being 6-0. SCIENCE, 7; VALLEY CITY, 0 This game was a feature of Dad’s day, honoring the fathers of the Wildcat gridders. Rain early in the evening cut down Peterson , End Came attendance a great deal, but the weather cleared up for the game. Coach Bute's eleven gained 420 yards, and registered 14 first downs, to 97 yards and 6 first downs for the Vikings. The Vikings only sustained drive came in the first quarter from their own 9 yard line where Science had advanced the ball following the opening kickoff. From then until the half the game was all Science, but with the Wildcats unable to put in that little extra push for a touchdown. 'The lone score came early in the third period. Breuer, playing safety, took a Viking punt on his own 48. He twisted his way about 15 yards down the field and then, as he was tackled, turned and later-ailed back to Cain who was close behind. 'Flic play was unplanned, but perfect. Cain sprinted, behind some nice blocking, down his own left sideline and crossed into pay territory standing up. Tabert plunged over for the extra point. The fourth quarter was perhaps the most exciting as both teams opened tip their attacks in an attempt to score. As the game neared its end, Wahpeton lost the ball in enemy territory and the Vikings immediately began passing. In the final play, Fauteck, who had replaced Breuer, intercepted a Valley City pass on Van 13uren. End Koiiouthk. Tackle their 30. and advanced to the 20 where lie was tackled as the gun was fired. Cain’s, running, passing, and especially his kicking, were outstanding in the game, the latter being instrumental in keeping the Vikings on their heels. Cas Brener’s running was a highlight of the game also. Excellent performances were turned in by Kohoutek, who was outstanding in the line; VVestphal, at quarterback; Captain Brown at guard, and Tabert at fullback. SCIENCE, 6; JAMESTOWN, 0 Skip Bute and the Wildcats journeyed to Jamestown and took part in another homecoming game, and returned after winning a hard-fought battle against a stubborn team. 'Fhe Wildcats, sparked by Lolly Cain, outplayed the Jimmies the whole game but the latter, being imbued with homecoming spirit, held at every crucial point of the game with the exception of the lone Science touchdown play. Twice during the first half the Butc-men were stopped inside the Jimmies 10 yard line, and the teams went into the second half with the score still 0-0. At the close of the third quarter, Dick Tabert, the hard hitting Science fullback, broke through the line to pick up 33 yards, putting the ball on the Jamestown 9-yard line. As the fourth stanza opened, Cain skirted his own right end, behind some nice blocking, and hit pay dirt. 1 abert attempted to plunge the extra point over but was stopped just inches short of the line. The Jimmies never threatened the Wild- cat goal line. Science marked tip 10 first downs to live for Jamestown. SCIENCE, 13; ELLEN DALE, 0 This was the third homecoming that the Wildcats participated in this year, hut it happened to he their own. They came through with flying colors, turning in one of their Itest performances of the season. 'The game was played on a snow-covered turf. The first quarter was slightly in favor of Ellcndale, hut Science showed a big edge in the final three. Lolly Cain, attempting to punt from his own 30, fumbled, losing 12 yards. Science recovered and Cain again attempted to kick, lie was unable to get the ball away and was hit hard, losing 10 yards. Lolly received a bad shoulder injury on the play and was forced to drop out of the game, being replaced by Fautcck. Hreuer look over the signal-calling and kicking posts. Ellcndale took possession of the ball on the Wildcat 15 and gained 5 yards by penalty on the first play. This series of bad breaks was all that was needed to get the Science grid machine into action. They held on the nine, and an attempted drop kick by Crabtree was wide. From then on the game became a different story. • Hob Lawlor, the hardest hitting man in the conference, replaced Tabert at fullback and was instrumental in making some long gains, either blocking or packing the pigskin himself. Tabert later returned to the game, and play was featured by the line bucks of Lawlor and Tabcrt, and off-tackle and end-runs by Fauteck and Hreuer. 'The first Science touchdown came in the second quarter. A Wildcat drive was apparently stopped on about the Dusty 15 yard line, when the Cats suddenly pulled one out of the bag. It was an old one, the Statue of Liltcrty play. Hreuer took the ball from Fauteck and skirted his own left end to score. Ken Hutcher was sent into the game to attempt a place kick, which was successful. 'The score, Science 7. Ellcndale 0. The second touchdown came in the fourth period. 'Tabcrt took a 28-yard pass from Fautcck and was downed on the 13 yard line. 'Three plays later, Fautcck passed to Hreuer for six points. Hutcher’s attempted kick for point failed, and the game ended at 13-0. Science rolled up I 1 first downs to 3 for the Dustics. Fd Kohoutek was the star of the game on defense, fie broke into the Dusties hackhcld time after time, throwing them for losses several times. Hrown and Hooke also turned in excellent defensive games, and the blocking and tackling of Westphal is not to be slighted. Fauteck, a fast, shifty man, played a very good game, combining eml runs and passes to contribute bis part to the win.

As was only fitting, they made their finale an impressive one by decisively defeating the Foresters In-fore a crowd of approximately 1,000 people. 'Flic Science gridders were without the services of Lolly Cain, who received a shoulder injury in the Kllcndale game. Cas Breuer was the sparkplug of the team in his place, and did a very creditable job of calling the plays. The first touchdown came at the end of eight minutes of play. Science chalked up two first downs, then punted. The punt was returned, and the Wildcats started down the field showing some wonderful team-work. Tabert, Breuer and Fauteck did the ball carrying. A 20-yard run by Fauteck placed the ball on the eight from where Breuer skirted end to score. Tabert‘s attempt to convert failed. '1 he second touchdown march started from the Bottineau 45, where Breuer was stopped on a punt return. Lawlor picked up 7 yards, Fabert made it a first down. Breuer reeled off 32 yards, and Tabert punched a hole m the line to score. Butcher was sent in to kick, and made it good. I he score: 13—0 for the Red and Black at the end of the first half. Butcher, Guard Smaacaakd. Center 'Flu second half opened with a show of stubbornness on the part of Bottineau, and a slight let down on the Wildcat offense. ’Flu play was in favor of the Cats during the entire third period but they did not penetrate to within scoring distance at any time. 'Flu period was scoreless, but the Foresters’ resistance was short-lived, for Skip's warriors seemed only to have been taking a breather. In the first minute of play of the fourth period, the “Statue of Liberty” play was pulled from the Forester’s own two yard mark. Breuer snatched the ball from Fauteck's back stretched hand and ambled around his own left end for six points. A minute later 'Fabert added another to make it 20-0. 'Flic pigskin seemed to know what end of the field was which, because in a few minutes it was again resting on the hapless Bottineau eleven’s four yard line, from where Breuer again lugged it around left end to the end zone. Butcher added the extra point by placement, Fauteck holding the ball. Not content with 27-0, the Wildcats again gained possession of the ball and started down the field. A 15-yard pass, Breuer to Andy Peterson, placed the ball on the one-foot line, and 'Fabert punched through left tackle to score. The educated toe of Ken Butcher again came through with a conversion to make a record of three good kicks of three for the game.

STUDENT MANAGERS The student managers of this year's athletic squads were Melvin Slate and Robert Holmes. The manager’s jobs arc not easy ones and entail a considerable amount of work. Their duties are to take care of all the athletic equipment and small tie-tails at the games and to act as assistants to the coach. “Hob” and Mel” took care of these jobs very efficiently and were popular with teams.

Practice bad to be divided into afternoon and evening sessions to take care of everyone. There were only four Icltermcn present from last year’s squad, the four being Dick Tabert, I'M Kohoutck, Bob Lawlor and Andy Peterson. Among the freshmen were four local fellows who made the varsity squad. They were Cas Brcuer, Ken Butcher and Eldon Westphal, of Wahpeton, and Don Zarling of Brcck-cnridge. Others who earned places on the varsity squad were Lolly Cain, Don Johnson and Jerry Smith, who entered school the second term. The Wildcats started the season in an impressive fashion, and seemed slated for a conference championship. They encountered one of those unexplainable mid-season slumps, however, and dropped enough games to allow Jamestown to nose them out for conference honors by a few percentage points. Dick Tabert was chosen captain of the 1939-40 hoopsters, and proved to be a competent lloor general. Dick played his third and last season with the Wildcats and was one of the outstanding players in the N.D.I.C. Me was selected all-conference each year, and was high point man for each season. Captain Tabcrt scored a grand total of 651 points in his three years of play for an average of 14.S points per game. His vearlv totals were: 1937-38—156, 1938-39— 242, and 1939-40— 253. Brener and Westphal also received scoring honors, their names being in eighth and tenth place rcs| cclively. SCIENCE. 45; N.D.U., 44 The Wildcats opened the 1939-40 hoop wars with - an unexpected victory by de fearing the University of North Dakota by one point. The game was marked bv rough play, especially in the final quarter when both teams set a terrific pace. Science chalked up a lead of 14-9 at the end of the first period. The first half ended a L. rally with the Wildcats still in the lead, 26-20. With the University V Fa 4 jg V rjm h Westphal 4w Koiioutkk coach trying several different combinations during the game in an attempt to find a workable one, the Cats found themselves playing against fresh players several times during the evening. The second half started slowly, but developed into a real frame as both teams opened up. 'I'he Sioux Hashed into good form and sank several short shots to tic the score several times during the third period. 'I'he Sioux found themselves momentarily ahead, 31-29, but the indomitable Cats came back to end the period ahead 37-32. Coach Bute's quintet held the lead throughout the jfinal period, but a desper-atc Sioux five gradually closed the gap to provide a finish that had the fans in an uproar. 'I'he gun ended a hard-fought season opener, with the Wildcats winning bv a slim one point margin. SCIENCE, 43; HARLEMITES, 46 'I'he annual affair with the “Colored Boys provided a riot of entertainment, and some basketball. 'I'he Harlem boys proved that they could handle the ball with the best of them as they rolled it on the floor, batted it back and forth, pitched it like a baseball and used it for a football. They never let the Wildcats get into the lead, but never were very far ahead at any time. The game was marred by the fact that the Harlemites attempted to pull some raw stuff with the referee, which wasn’t very popular with the majority of the fans. However, everyone enjoyed it for the show it was supposed to be, and Science went to the showers after losing by three points. MOORHEAD TOURNAMENT 'I'he Collegiate Basketball Tournament was held at Moorhead, Minnesota, on December 27, 28, and 29. Skip Bute took his Wildcats up, minus the services of Captain Tabert and several of his regulars, but made a good showing. Science lost to NDAC the first night, 50-38, won over Moorhead Teachers the second. 36-35, and lost to Valley City in the consolation finals, 39-22. 'I'he Bison took a 10-0 lead in the early moments of the game, but the Wildcats Breuer Cain' opened up ami crowded them all the way to make a contest of it. In the Moorhead-Wahpeton game, Moorhead lead all the way to the final seven seconds of play, when a free throw l v Cain won the game for the Wildcats by a one point margin. The tired Science Wildcats met Valley City in the final game. The Vikings lead 8-2 at quarter time, 13-6 at the half, and then went on a scoring spree to lead 35-12 at the end of the third quarter. SCIENCE, 48; ST. JOHNS, 3S The Johnnies, semi-finalists in the Moorhead Tournament, came out on the short end of the score when they met the Cats at full strength. Tabert, Wcstphal, Hreuer, and Ko-houtek ripened up after St. Johns had held a first minute lead to sink several buckets, closing the first period with a lead of 14-9. Science continued their invincible style of play throughout the second quarter to end the half at 33-18. The third quarter found the Johnnies completely at a loss to stem the tide as the Science quintet brought the count up to 43-25. Coach Bute decided to give his reserves some experience and sent them all in during the final period. The bewildered Johnnies seemed to gain new hope for they started a rally that netted them thirteen points to five for the Cats. The final gun put a stop to hostilities, however, and the victorious Wildcats tucked a ten point victory into the score hook. Captain Tabert lead the scoring with fifteen points while Wcstphal and Hreuer accounted for eleven and nine points respectively. Cain and Zarling gave good accounts of themselves also during the course of the evening’s action.

After an equally fast second period the Butcher lively, as they threaded basket after basket through the netted hoop. The victory was the third for Science in five days, and the hoopsters returned home in high spirits to hooks that had not been cracked since Monday. The Wildcats, decidedly off form, did not pull tins game out of the fire until the final |uartcr. They started by gaining a quick eight point lead but the fast-breaking Comets rapidly closed the gap as the first period ended 1.5-10 for the Htitemen. A bucket and gift-shot immediately tied things up as the second period opened. Iloth teams began missing many of their shots, and the lead alternated from one to the other team as the game progressed. The half time gun found the Wildcats behind. 22-20. Kohoutek tied the score with a one-hander to start things going in the third period. Science then took the lead and held it for the remainder of the game, staving off a Comet rallv as the third quarter ended .52-29. Wildcats ended the half with a slight lead, the score bring 30-25.

As the fourth period opened the Cats sank four buckets Ik fore the Jimmies could tally one, giving them 46 points, their final count. In the last two minutes a strong Jimtown rally was retarded enough to hand the Cats a one point victory. 'Phc Cats showed good teamwork and a lot of fight to win on a foreign court. The Wildcats avenged their earlier defeat at the tournament and added another victory to their one of the previous night at Jimtown when they met the Vikings.

SCIKNCK, 30; JAMKSTOWN, 36 The Jimmies invaded the Cats’ territory determined to take advantage of the slump that had plagued their hosts. After meeting stubborn and determined resistance in the lirst half, they went ahead to realize their ambition. The first half was hard-fought and close, finding the score tied at four different times. The close of the second period found Jamestown ahead by only one point, 16- 15. 'I'he third period opened and the Jimmies immediately chalked up two baskets ami a free throw. 'I’he Wildcats cut the lead down, then dropped back to trail 33-21 as the quarter ended.

The largest crowd to turn out for a game in Mayville for several years witnessed the triumph of Coach Earl Bute’s Wildcats. SCIENCE 54, KLLENDALE 50 'I'he Wildcat quint sought revenge, and after one of the hardest fought games of the season found it. They journeyed to .'he domain oi the Dustics and eked out a victory in an overtime period.. The game was fast and close throughout. The first period gave the Cats a 13-11 lead, which they increased to 26-20 at half time. The third period was a slight reversal as the Dustics cut the lead down to 35-32. With five minutes to go in the final period. Captain Tabert went out on fouls, and Cas Breuer followed a minute later. 'The heartened Dustics brought the score up to 42-all, then missed a free throw that would have won the game for them. The gun ended the fourth quarter at that stage. Kennv Butcher, a guard, who hail gone in at forward when Science lost her two regulars, starred in the overtime period and added the necessary winning points. The Cats chalked up twelve points in the last period to eight for the Dustics to win 54-50. SCIENCE 47, MOORHEAD 34 The Dragons, who heat the Cats earlier in the season, starting the slump which cost them the conference title, went down to defeat in the final game of the season. Moorhead lead at the end of the first period, but Science overtook them before the half and lead 20-18 as it ended. The second half was all Science as Coach Bute’s quint pulled the curtain on basketball for the year and won by a thirteen margin. This game marked the final appearance of Captain Dick Tabert, and the end of his stellar athletic career for the Science Wildcats. He scored twelve points to be high point man for the game, which had almost become a habit with him. THE BOBCATS The Bobcats, composed of Coach Earl Bute’s squad outside the varsity, only played four games this season, but they won three of the four. Each year it has been the practice of Skip Bute to play his scrubs in a team known as the Bobcats. The purpose for this team is to provide experience for new players, and to give everyone a chance to play. 'Phis year the Baby Varsity played three of their games as preliminaries to to the regular varsity games, and one away. The Lidgerwood Independents were the first opponents met by the Bobcats, and the affair ended in victory for Science to the tunc of 36-19. In a return game at I idgcrwood the Bobcats were again victorious, turning in a 35-17 score. The third game for the Bobbies was a hard-fought, low-scoring game with the Bohnsack, an independent team from further. North. This game was the one defeat of the Bobcats. The score was 19-22. In the final game, the Wahpeton Independents fell in defeat, 27-20. The game was an exciting one, and had the crowd standing at times. Players who saw action with the Bobcats during the season were: A. Peterson, HasPipc, Rasmusson, I). Brown, Van Bur-en, Windchicf, Bob Austin, R. Johnson Whitepipe, and Thilmony. ¥ ¥ + V V V V v THE C, j t. Rai.i'ii Ni-ss 148 lbs. Don Lock 161 H� . Oscar Nkss 175 lbs. Captain Ness terminated three years of boxing for Science, winning; fourteen out of twenty lights. Ralph is district Golden Gloves Welterweight champion, and received the State Sportsmanship trophy at tlie Minot Golden Gloves Tournament. Don ends his third year of boxing for Science, having won fourteen out of eighteen fights. He won the District and State Middleweight Golden Gloves champion- ships, scoring three straight K.

He lost in the semi-finals of the Northwest Golden Gloves tournament at Minneapolis by a decision, fighting in the light-hcavvwcight division. This was Oscar's first year, and he won nine out of eleven lights, seven by knockouts. BOXING On November 1st, Coach Brackin called for those interested in boxing and was rewarded with a wealth of material. There were only four veterans returning, but Coach Brackin built up a boxing team that was outstanding, and put in the most successful season ever to go on record for Science. Every member of the squad worked hard and faithfully, and cooperated with one another to bring about success, and each deserves recognition for his efforts. Members of the squad whose pictures do not appear here, but who certainly have earned being mentioned in this book arc: Earl Stcnchjcm, Lynn Peterson, Cyril Walsh, George Parker, and Andy Peterson. Andy did not turn out until late in the season, but he is a very capable man. With the exception of Captain Ness, every member of the squad will return to the leather wars next year. Ernie McCann and Oscar Ness will be co-captains. This year’s team was managed by Russell Dusty” Chambers. Dusty possessed a cool head in the corner, knew what to do and when to do it, and was a hard worker. He was the first manager ever to hold down that job for Coach Brackin. Bernard Keogh 148 lbs. Ernijst McCann 167 lbs. Al Humaxn 125 lbs. Dick Morgan 152 lbs. A first year fighter. Bernard won the District and State Class B Welterweight championships in Golden Gloves Competi-tion. Fighting five times, lie scored four wins. Dick fought six times, winning three fights. He won the District Class B championship in the Middleweight division of the Golden Gloves tournament at Fargo this year. Fighting his way into the semi-finals n the Northwest Golden Gloves tourn-anvnt, Ernie lost a close decision to Clyde Ka Icy. who won the championship in the n?. t match. Ernie has been an outstanding boxer, winning eight out of fourteen fight in two years. Al possesses a terrific right hook, and is a fast man. He fought four times and won two bouts in his first year of boxing. DISTRICT GOLDEN GLOVES TOURNAMENT With only two weeks training behind them. Coach Brackin and ten men went to Fargo to participate in the District Golden Gloves Tournament. 'ITiev annexed five championships. Oscar Ness won the heavyweight title. Don Lock the middleweight. Ralph Ness the welterweight, Dick Morgan the Class B middleweight, and Bernard Keogh the Class B welterweight. Ernie McCann lost his fight by a technical knockout when he received a cut over his eye. STATE GOLDEN GLOVES TOURNAMENT The five district champions journeyed to Minot to the State tournament and annexed three State championships. Oscar Ness we n the Class A heavyweight title, heating the University of North Dakota champion in the finals. He won all his fights by knockouts. Don Lock repeated his performance at the District tournament by rcoring three straight knockouts to win the middleweight championship, and Bernard Keogh annexed the class B welterweight title. Captain Ness fought twice the final Hon Sand 156 lb:. Hol worked as Irani as anyone on tire squad this year, which was his first. He forfeited to a team-mate at the banjo tournament, and received a broken nose later in the season, hut finished the year still punching. This was Dale’s first year, ami he won one cut of three fights, going against some tough competition. He lost one bout to a night, winning his first fight, but losing his second by a one-point decision. He received the tournament’s Sportsmanship Trophy. U. N. D. and Science were tied with three championships apiece for the State Golden Gloves Team Trophy, but as one of Science’s titles was a Class B title, the trophy went to the University. Two weeks after the Christmas vacation, Science met the Moorhead Teachers in an inter-college match, winning 7-1. Don Lock, Oscar Ness, and Dick Morgan won by K. O.’s. Ernie McCann lost by a decision to Duke Pincur. A1 Humana, Don Atherton, and Bernard Keogh won matches by decisions, and A1 Tschackofske A1 proved to he a tough, willing fighter, winning one out of three fights. This was his first vear. won by a technical K. O., when his opponent was unable to return for the second round because of a cut over the eye. Two weeks later, in another home match, Science met a picked group of fighters from Fargo-Moorhead. Oscar Ness lost for the first time to Ted Cam P'.gna. a veteran of 20 professional fights. Don Lock and Captain Ness won decisions. and Dale Elders, A1 Humann, and Bernard Keogh lost bouts to make the count two wins out of six. The largest crowd ever to witness a fight card at Science turned out, and they saw plenty of leather throwing in this match. NORTHWEST GOLDEN GLOVES TOURNAMENT Taking four fighters with him, Coach Brackin went to .Minneapolis for competition in the annual Northwest Golden Gloves tournament. Captain Ness, handicapped by a shoulder injury received earlier in the season, fought a hard, close, three-round limit with Art Lambert, city champ from Duluth. .Minnesota. Me lost by a split-hair decision. Don Lock, who experienced an off night, lost a decision to Roy Tibbets of Cass Lake. Minnesota. Ernie McCann drew a bye; dccisioncd kollancc Vcrkincss of St. Thomas College, the Minneapolis City champion; and then won over Roy LaRoque of Cass Lake to enter the semi-finals. He fought Clyde Rasley of Minneapolis, in the semi’s, losing the decision, after which Rasley went on to win the title in the finals. Oscar Ness defeated three men in reaching the semi-finals. He knocked out Mark McCarthy of St. Cloud in the first round of his first bout, then dccisioncd Florian Hint , of Hinckley, and Killian of Parle Rapids. Ness entered his semi-final bout with Gordon Tulloch, Duluth city champion. in poor condition. He was feeling badly, and awakened the following morning with the flu. He was game, and fought the entire three rounds, hut lost the decision.. TRACK Since the track season docs not start until the Agawasic is printed, it is impossible for us to write up the activities of the track team. All we can do is to give the team’s schedule and a li t of those who have turned out so far this season and the events in which they will participate. Teams were sent to the Aberdeen Relays at Aberdeen, S. Dak., to Moorhead for the Dragon Relays, and to Grand Forks for the State Intercollegiate meet. Besides this, a dual meet was held with Kllendale; and the N.D.I.C. Conference meet was held at Wall pet on May 24-2 5. Following is the list of candidates, with the lettermen denoted by an asterisk ( ). Dashes: Orville Aasen, Eugene Helm, Harlow Evenson, Harold Lange. Middle Distances: Bob Holmes, Olav Knutsen.

Institute of Public Opinion took a poll concerning the various dislikes of the boys for girls and vice versa. Here arc some of the results: DISLIKES: Dick Morgan: A women’s place is in the harem.” Mel Slate: “Snapping gum. If a girl can chew gum sophisticated I y it's not bad. (Do you. Elaine ?) Hob Sand: “(I) Frizzy hair do's. (So that’s the attraction Edna Nupen has for Hob). ‘‘(2) Evil-tasting lipstick.” Archie Martinson: ‘‘I like everything about them. Archer Riley: Silly chatter—bah!” Howard Cavanaugh: “Paint!” Doug MacDougall: They don’t appreciate me. Harold Lange: Too much lipstick.” Connie Hendrickson: “Rig-eaters.” Lolly Cain: Not a thing if they’re like you.” Herbert Pact' ., Ye Editor: “Flighty-ncss.” Dorothy Askew: What do 1 dislike in a boy? Gin! (Can she mean Herby) and Vitamin “I” (ditto).” Primising: “No private ownership for M me. Madge Quine: “I wouldn’t want to be quoted.” Re mice Rrydahl: “Lack of courtesy.” Miss Madden: I like everything about them.” Julia Johnson: They’re too critical.” Grace Fallcr. “A lack of courtesy or cleanliness.” Claire Petterson: Roys who expect the girls to do ill of the entertaining. DINNER DANCE 'Fhc envy of all the girls at the Dinner Dance: 'Fhc orchid on Kohnke’s shoulder and the dairy on her arm. Dramatic Irony: Jean McCarty, escorted by Rex Crowley, sat down at the table: seated across from them was Claire Peterson escorted by Andy Peterson. The little man who wasn’t there—Don Zarling. It might have taken Millard Larson a long time to sell those two tickets to Mr. Sands hut it didn’t take him long to find a way to use them. 'I’lie formals were beautiful—but many a boy danced in mortal terror of stepping on those floor length gowns—add to mental hazard the fear of making a wrong move during the course of the banquet and one sees why everyone was just a wee bit nervous. KITCHEN KOMMENTS Now we know where “Husky” Ness developed those he-man muscles—He scrapes plates at the dorm. Those girls who help with the dishes at the dorm certainly have it all over the rest town maidens decided to dine at the of us. They have a chance to prove what perfect little housewives they would be. Why do we have the best boxing team in North Dakota? Coach Brackin entices the boys to S.S.S. with his preliminary course in domestic education. Moral: If you want a good hubby, marry a boxer. Everybody’s noticed it—McCann’s popularity has increased since Christmas time —mayl c they’ve also noticed that nice tan Plymouth lie drives. Most nerve racking sound in Science: when Stcindl, Ekbald, Lien, or Wagar, the kitchen tray-toters, miss their aim with a tray of dishes—sounds like a demolition bomb. Until you’ve sunk your ivories into one of 'Font’s steaks or Frances’ cinnamon rolls or cocoanut cream pies, brother, you ain’t tasted nothing yet. 'Fhc romance of Frank Lcct and Maur-inc Miller is about the steadiest thing in existence; Snooks” Bellows and Bud Amundson run a close second. I lore is something that has puzzled us for a long time: last fall the girls ate over on the boys’ side of the hall, now it is the other way around. Could it be that the boys arc getting bolder? HASTE MAKES WASTE It is a few minutes Ik fore the noon dismissal bell will ring. Eager eyes arc cast on watches. Little attention is paid to the word of the honorable teacher. Time is precious. Slowly the seconds tick away. The students sit in readiness to spring for the door at the sound of the alarm. Hark! The dinner hell sounds! Fourteen hundred cars waggle in unison. Seven hundred figures arise and rush for the door, and I, who am never on time for anything, break three speed records and the teacher’s arm in the mad rush for the door. After reaching the hall, which is already overflowing with other mortals hurrying in every direction. I finally get to the stairway. To make the downward journey. I use my super-quick method, which I have perfected only after much practice. Seating myself backward on the banister. 1 descend with great rapidity (if you arc thinking of trying this, remember to jump off a little before you come to each landing—the knobs at the end of the banisters. I have learned, arc quite hard). When at last I reach the locker room, after falling down the last 22 steps in my haste. I find that somebody has locked my locker. Such catastrophe! It takes me 15 minutes to open it. Cautiously. I open the door; books and papers fly in every direction, but as I am usually greeted in that manner, my anatomy is quite hardened to it and only a few new bruises appear. Quietly creeping up on my coat, I snatch it from the hook by the collar, which was a noble beast, and feebly drape it around my shoulders. Completely exhausted, I stumble upstairs to join my friends—only to find that they had long since left for home and dinner. IIKill LIGHTS OF THE SEASON Down-town Quarterback Hendrickson is sporting a beer-belly this season. Our fifteen football heroes receive jackets as awards for their season’s work— I should say twelve; three of our bov : T.ahcrt, Brown, and Van Hurcn all requested S blankets to give to their girls. Doesn’t Cain’s rate? Wayne Twiio’s ambition: to have half as many brains as his Dari. We wish you luck on your long, hard journey, Wayne. If wc pay, by heck; wc won’t neck’ quoth the girls on Dutch Date nitc, January 25. There were four couples out tha: night—and my mother tells me that box-go out with girls for the companionship. Nicky Krump, the S.S.S. rcprcsentive or the Young Ladies Sodality, won the five dollar door prize at that gala occasion— wc wonder— “Two-point Cain broke a record at the Valley City-Science basketball game. He chalked up four points! Our commercial basketball team is the success of the season. The boys went way to Fergus Falls and played that City’s high school team one night last winter. Danny (Burke, not Cupid) better beware—Lillian is making inquiries about Bob Miksche’s nationality. Sounds serious. Remember how furious Delores Abra-h.umson was when Lolly broke his collarbone at the Homecoming game and they couldn’t attend the dance? The Harlem Globe Trotters arc very good at basketball, wc agree. But they remain the only individuals in the world who arc able to muss up Marty Fngh’s hair and get away with it—except perhaps Mrs. Engh. This Homecoming is something a bit embarrassing to these young swains who have alumni girl friends and local interests, too. eh, Van Burcn ? Riley?

Satterlce is my instructor, I shall not obey, He maketh me do the things I do not like, I le llunkcth me. He bawleth me out. Yea. tho I try my best, I still will Hunk For my teachers all have it in for me. Thy lessons and thy work, they bore me, Thou callest me up on the carpet. Thou gives! me the devil, My blood hoilcth over, Surely I shall dwell in Haverty’s office all the rest of my days. TEACHER’S LAMENT The Class is my headache, They will not study, They make me do all the work As they are all lazy. I bawleth them out. Yea, even tho I bawl them out They still will not work For they say I am an old crank. Their alibis and excuses arc boring. They spend their energy at night And then sit all day snoring. Surely, if 1 flunk them I’ll gc‘ «h«n next year So, what’s a poor teacher going to do, Anyhow ? THINGS WE’VE NOTICED by Mi:i,vin Slate May vc take this opportunity to state that any resemblance or reference to any person, living or lcn«l, in the following is purely coincidental and absolutely unintentional. � Red Van Buren worries plenty about that girl friend. 1 . S.—She went to Washington, which is a long way to hitchhike. Know your mail man! Ours is about 5’ 10” tall, weighs 14S lbs., has curly brown hair, and is good looking. 11 is bobby is boxing, and he takes body-bending in his spare time. We wonder why Edna Nupen, Char-mian Itakke. and escorts were sitting on the basement steps of one of the cottages one night in the early spring. O’Brien has a habit of blowing fuses and wrecking meters. Well, anyway he can say he was bawled out bv an expert, namely Karl Larsson. It isn’t generally known, but during the Easter vacation. Rob Austin and certain others held a little party in the gym one afternoon. Entertainment consisted of a nice game of hide-and-go-seek. What will we find these college students doing next ? The “life” of the trade school seems to be Elmer Adrian, lie's a little ticklish and more than one linger has found its way into his ribs. In fact, lie's “goosv.” Remark overheard in the electrical shop. “I’m as strong as an ox. and twice as smart.” Well, we don’t know how smart an ox is. so we can't say whether Jim Miller complimented or slammed the ox. Speaking of the electricians, they seem to enjov lining up along the west side of the Trades Building and gazing across that chasm into the Main building, just to see how the other half lives. Incidentally, we might put a bug in someone’s ear. Those Hashes of sunlight in 102, 202. and 302 are not accidental, but the result of some cleverly manipulated windows by said electricians. Statement heard in Miss Larson’s class one morning: Is there anybody here who is absent today? We wonder if there arc any ubiquitous persons about. We must tell this one. It seems that there is a copy of the ten commandments in the electrical shop with a red circle drawn about 'Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. A visiting lecturer made the statement that lie likes a place where there was no swearing. Was a certain instructor's face red, or are we mistaken? We have heard it said that little girls should l� c seen, not heard. We wonder if Jeanne Suiter knows that. Carol Forman is quite an artist if practice makes perfect. Never a class goes by, without our witnessing her at her work. Peter Stoller is pretty good at trying to take other fellows girl friends out. Careful Pctcy, you’ll get hurt someday. It seems as though A1 Tchbcn was showing the fellows how to hold their breath in class one day and passed out. Karl Larsson, and others, took measures to bring him to and of course Al, not feeling well after bis ordeal, was prevailed upon to leave the room until he recovered. That’s a way of getting out of class that everyone hasn’t thought of yet. We must pause here to commend Oodic Westphal, Cas Brener, and one or two unknowns for a bit of bravery. It seems as though a strange man was discovered walking up and down in front of the cottages. The fellows went to talk to him, but after failing to make any headway, leaped into their car and drove away to find a cop to deal with the situation. It was all a mistake, but the inmates of the two cottages received the thrill, or scare, of their livccs, and bolted and locked every opening to their respective buildings. Lyngslad wondered how the Coffee Shop in the new hotel could fasten pics upside down on the wall and keep them from spilling out. He was greatly enlightened upon finding that the device consisted merely of a mirror set at an angle. What’s that old saying about suckers? Oh. yes, There’s one born even- minute and none of them die. It must have lx-cn the morning after for Lyle Hanna. It seems that in assembling a car awhile back he put the clutch throw-out bearing in backwards. Wc all have to “learn by doing,” I guess. They didn’t call the fire dep’t, but there were plenty of flames around when Calmer Braaten, while testing an outboard Chahinkapa Park One of the beauty spots of North Dakota is Chahinkapa Park. Shown here are scenes of the Red River; the play ground; an old cannon; and another scene of the Red River. motor in a barrel, in some mysterious manner set some gasoline afire. 'Tilings do burn, don’t they, Braatcn? We have noticed that Grace Taller lias the only Frat pin on the campus. A lot of fellows were disappointed, Grace. Jack Moore recently came in smoking a cigarette one night. An eagle-eyed observer noticed something peculiar, and upon closer observation found lipstick on the cigarette. My, My! .Mr. Cavanaugh seems to have had trouble extracting recitations from his classes this year. It seems queer that so many “strong anil silents” should be found in one place. Setterdahl and Peschel have a mutual geology book, and living respectively in Hrock and Wop. we wonder if that isn’t an excuse to cross the state line and go calling. Jimmy Lciber (he sleeps in every class) can just about nose a plane over while sitting in it in the middle of a field. Jimmy says it was a snowdrift, but yours truly doesn't care to ride with Jim. While on the subject of flying and aviators, Bernard Keogh isn’t particular about landing. Downwind is as good as anything. In answer to a question from Mr. Sampson, Bariheau says he would put his ship through a fence if one loomed up in front of him during a forced landing. We believe the correct procedure is to take a chance on a ground loop. Also we notice that there is at least one woman hater among the ranks of the aviators. Bob Dittmer by name. We have noticed two very childish elements in de.ah old Science. Don Lock, Jack Moore, etc., have enjoyed dumping water on unsuspecting victims from the balconies and windows of Burch Hall. Ami over in the Main building, we find something of a different nature, although equally kiddish. Kachelhoffcr, Merchant and crowd are still living in their high school freshman days, and can’t get their minds off necking. Andy Peterson should lock his car at night. It seems that certain ones have used it after lie retired. If cars could only talk! ! We couldn't help but overhear Bud Amundson bragging in the dorm one day. His theme seemed to be that he had more hair on his chest than anyone else in the dorm. Ah! Misguided youth. If thee but knew, thou wouldst keep thy trap shut. We noticed the elbows of Ed Kohou-tek’s jackets are wearing thin. Perhaps they should raise the counter in the office so that he can lean his whole arm on it next year and distribute the wear over a larger area. Ed says that he doesn’t mind being tall, though, the air is fresher up there where he is. It seems as though Millard Larson and Harold Lange started a political party all their own, this spring. Some thought they should be jailed for unpatriotic activities, while others joined in without thinking. However, “all’s well that ends well,” and the movement seems to have burned itself out in a week. Perhaps Milliard’s next venture will prosper, if one learns by experience. May we suggest that Millard stay awake in psychology class and learn how to handle and influence people. That staying awake could Ik applied to several others, too, who seem to find Mr. Petersen’s voice extremely soothing. Those who use the library have been asked for their cooperation, etc., so much this year that we wonder if anyone lias had any “fetchin’ up at home and learned how to be quiet. Miss King certainly has her own technique when it comes to telling one to shut up. Here’s a secret that should be let out of the bag. Jimmy Lieber wasn't overcome bv gas in Chemistry lab one day last winter, lie just fell asleep. It was nice of Fate to provide such a ready excuse though. 1 f anyone wishes to learn how to dissect angleworms or frogs, just ask Lillian Hurst. She wields a scalpel with the best of them. 'Those who witnessed Nicky Krump’s hula hula performance are wondering just what to think. It was a good show, but wc heard plenty that would have burned his ears off. Perhaps a well-directed match would have burned something else, too. Wc understand that the best show of the year came off in the girl’s locker room during the winter sometime. It seems as though the Askew-Johnson-Primising trio had an old fashioned hair-pulling match. What could such sweet-natured girls be fighting about? Wc think George Brackin should knock before entering. It seems as though he scared Elaine Herman so badly that she ran all the way to the cottages. Hoes anyone know why Mr. Sands kept that little “cooky duster” so meticulously trimmed this year? That's all right, Mr. Sands; not everyone can grow one. In regards to some criticism from a group of girls who mentioned Lolly Cain. We can only say that conceit is permissible when justified. During basketball season Mr. Nord-gaard gave a pep talk at an assembly with the idea of putting a little oomph in the student body. It seems that you can’t help those who won’t help themselves. May we suggest that a touch of chauvinism would not Ik amiss for a change. In closing, yours truly goes on record as thinking “that North Dakota was pretty flat when he arrived here in the fall of ’3J , not only in topography, hut in several other ways. Well, live and learn, and vice versa. Confucius say, “ffow’m I ‘Duhn’?” THE GREAT AMERICAN SPORT JIascbal J is conceded to he the Great American sport by the American public, but this same American public in private life indulges much more vigorously in that pastime universally known as necking. Although this recreation has many varied aliases such as petting, ccrvicating, twasing, skeezling, and mugging, the activity implied usually follows a very similar course. Participation in this activity was formerly confined to night games. However, some of the more skilled and daring experts have recently inaugurated a twenty-four hour service which their competitors must imitate if they wish to keep their position in the World of Fashion. Contestants of the game arc divided into classes as to sex. There are approximately five types constituting the male division: 1. The 4tsurprisc attack” method. 'Phis is usually practiced by an individual who is unable to get anyone to cooperate under any other circumstances. 2. 'Fhc “Man-of-thc-World” type. He is usually an adolescent with an adult complex. 3. 'Flic “first-attempters” who make ones life miserable by their amateurish actions. 4.

Me?” A MEAL AT THE DORM (As viewed by an outsider) As the winter wind did blow cold and bleak one day, a group of us delicate little town maids decided to dine at that elite restaurant on the campus, popularly known as Burch Hall. Having decided thusly, we proceeded to borrow enough nickels and one dime from some students, who did not yet know us, to gain our admittance to the dining hall. Well, we got in all right—the only trouble we had was in getting out; and if you think that 1 mean that our dinner was so immense we couldn’t back out through the door—all 1 can say is—you don’t know George! We knew that if we used our manners it would take us about twice as long as usual, so we started out early. Besides we wanted to secure a good seat and watch all of the one hundred and some boys come in. We were about half way down the basement steps when the noon bell rang— and with it a thundering comparable only to a western cattle stampede. Sure enough —that’s what it was—and the thundering herd proceeded to catapult us down the remaining steps into the lap of heroic Lloyd Knain who sat stoically chewing his toothpick to the tune of STAY IN MY ARMS, CINDERELLA.” We did not know which one of us was Kiln so we all reluctantly regained our feet and continued on our journey which began to resemble something more like a handicap race or the third degree. As I reached for a tray, a huge, hairy arm bearing a knife, spoon, and fork shot by my visage, leaving the fork firmly imbedded in a beautiful group of curls adorning my right eye. While I don’t object to carrying off silver, even of that inferior brand, I did object to the scalding cup of coffee which landed between my sweater and me, causing me to drop the last slice of cake which fell into the outstretched paw of Dick Morgan. I immediately apologized to Dick for causing him to spill his coffee on me, but he generously forgave me by saying that he didn’t care for it anyway and had merely taken it when he saw me coming. At this moment a particularly lousy pork chop, which I had managed to secure, mysteriously disappeared from under my mashed potatoes and I needs must take to my hands and knees in an effort to find it. Once I was down, there was no getting up, so I calmly prepared for a long winter stay, watching the hundreds of feet rushing by my little haven underneath the silverware table. There 1 stayed—counting myself lucky to have cs-ca|K d with my life—partaking of a few scraps which fell from the loaded travs of the more experienced diners. When I thought the room again empty, I furtively peeped forth and received a a coating of dust from Howard Cavanaugh who was depositing his sweepings under the tables as per habit. I suppose the ambulances had come and gone for 1 saw no evidences of dead or wounded strewn around the hall. Every day, when the noon bell has rung and those students braver and more courageous than I, venture to the Dorm for their nice hot dinner—I sit contentedly by with my peanut butter sandwich and apple—for after all the path of glory leads but to the grave. Besides, my credit ain’t so good this spring as it was last fall when I was less widely known. R1: MINI SCE N cES O F A RADIO STUDENT Bv Al. TkBBKX Our of the first days at Science we find emerging a group of last year’s freshmen who knew nothing to start with and still have a vacuum in part of their heads. Now that we arc departing from here as seniors, we have discovered one thing about an electrical circuit, the highest resistance that can In- obtained between two points is that resistance between our heads and the text book. 'Two years of “refrigeration research have penetrated Everett (Skunk) Anderson’s cranium. Much to the dismay of instructor 11 intgen. all young Everett seemingly learned was that by turning a little valve on the compressor of a certain refrigerator. an odiferous gas could he emitted into the room. Meg re, Sannes, Op-gaard and others were seen quite often raising their noses to suspiciously whiff the atmosphere. Mr. 11 intgen on more than one occasion found himself greeting an empty room with his tear stained eyes. Even some of Mr. Hintgen’s tall stories don’t bring any more prompt results. Once again as if it were an echo we hear the Nordic voice of Mr. Earrson, ringing out over a silent classroom, Kougner. Fisher. Gannon. Giese, Green, etc. His lusty voice is met hv several rather weak responses, ‘Here’. Then again we hear that old familiar phrase: What’s the matter, are they sick ?” Back in the rear seats “Red” Van Buren can be heard whispering a short phrase to Ray Johnson: “Karl is in good humor today.” Before class can get underway, little Ralphic Well wood pipes up his vocal chords and bravely asks what Sweden thinks of Germany and Great Britian. Karl promptly retorts: “We hate them both.” Electrical shop work continues as morning after morning drags on. Various groups are performing experiments designed to widen the electrical groove in the student’s brain. Some of us were not too surprised to find that we happen to be the lowest form of dummies. However, we don’t feel too bad. Itccnusc in the future there will be another group of low, low worms that crawl, neophytes, to take our place. Perhaps there will even be another curly hair- ed one like that now somewhat advanced Elmer Adrian or even several neophytes possessing the manly features of Til f red Christianson or Dale Crandall. In any event there is no way of stopping Father Time and if this writing doesn’t stop soon it will be just like what one eye said to the other eye: “Just between us, something smells.

I guess collitch is more gladder to see me than I am to see it because when 1 rolled in there was a big sign over the door, saying “Welcome Alumni. They got mv name spelled wrong, but after a welcome like that, guess I better keep my mouth shut. Got a little colder ’bout the weekend and Monday we had a skating party been . things was some froze up. Didn't get nothing to cat, but watched Martinson stand up and Prim fall down was worth the walk down there. Talking about parties—there’s one in the Jim tommorrow. Hoy, I sure am glad 1 polished up my toe stepping over Chris-mus. And last night my friend, Everett Anderson (he rooms next door) learned me some new steps. Choppy Malvor-son’s going to leave me use his new tie his girl gave him for Christmas so I’m all set for a high time. I only wisht he’d leave me use his girl. The girl I really want —name’s Fannie Hurst—has got a fellow so I think I’ll ask Madge Quine to go home with me. A fellow’s lending me a new 1940 Ford so I don’t think I’ll have any trouble. Especially since it has a radio. Well, I got to get a bath—that is if Morgan’s left any hot water. He takes his hath the first of the month too. Your loving sun, Aliwishic Kohoutek $ ,000,000.000?

Judges decision will not be accepted. In ease of ties, neither one will get anything. EXPOSE To us hits been given the opportunity of at last exposing the identity of that pernicious purveyor of campus gossip and digs in the Scientist, the Tatlcr. For months the student body has been speculating, guessing, investigating and using every other possible means to discover the identity of the Tatlcr. That he has successfully kept his secret merely proves what a clever rascal he really is. In all the guess- . I lii.vix Fakrincton ing that has been done, even to the extent of having myself been accused of being the scoundrel, I have never heard anyone hit upon the right person. It was with some misgiving, I think, that he gave his permission to let us reveal his identity, since lie said that he wanted as much distance as possible In-tween himself and certain persons when it was discovered who he was. However, don’t be too hard on him. It was all in fun. So here we give you the Tatlcr, editor of the Scientist, and a swell fellow, Melvin Farrington! EPILOGUE As one nears the end of a long and difficult job, one feels a certain sense of satisfaction in the fact that at last it is an accomplished fact. As we put the finishing touches on the 1940 Agawasic, however, mingled with that feeling of satisfaction is a certain sadness in the realization that the hustle and hustle and excitement is over. It’s been a lot of fun and almost an education in itself in putting out this Agawasie. To the members of my staff, 1 wish to extend my sincere thanks for the time anti effort they have put forth in producing this book. If coaxing and even coercion were sometimes necessary in order to get in copy, at least we always got it in time to make our deadline. To Mr. Satterlcc and Mr. Currie, for the splendid job of printing that was done on the hook, my sincere thanks. Mr. Sat-tcrlcc gave freely of his time and advice and saved us from many a serious blunder. Oftentimes, 1 fear, his patience was sometimes stretched by our amateurish methods but everything worked smoothly. No one deserves more credit than Mr. Satterlcc for the appearance of the hook. My thanks also to Don Pease, whose work in the organization of the hook was invaluable. I’m sorry you weren't around to enjoy the fun, Don, and I hope the finished product looks something like you had imagined it. Last, but far from least, my thanks to Mr. Petersen, who probably put in more work than others on the staff to make this book a success. His advice and help were invaluable. Thanks also to the printing students, Jerry Allers, Deane Cable, Clifford Allen and the others who gave freely of their spare time to set up type and print this book. This is the last page of the regular section of the book. The last proof has been read and corrected. The job is finished and 1 can only hope that you will get as much enjoyment in going through it as the staff and I have had in preparing it. To those of you whose days of college arc over, 1 hope the book will be a cherished record of your stay at Science. Such is the purpose of any annual and we have done our best to fulfill that purpose. I hope you like it. —The Editor.

Successful individuals make successful communities; and successful communities make a strong nation. In this day of international uncertainty we Americans have much to he proud of, and much to he thankful for. America is now more than ever the land of the free. Americans enjoy freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and most of all freedom of enterprise. The free enterprise system makes it posiblc for a person to rise as high as his talents will lift him, and he need not rise by trampling down those who are weaker. T'ltc American system of free enterprise is not a profit system—it is a profit and loss system. All who work for wage or salary have a stake in the incentive system that is no less than that of the enter1 prisers. They share a large proportion of its increment. They prosper as the enterprisers prosper. Wahpeton is proud of its many advantages—and it is especially proud of the State School of Science, for the S.S.S. as a leader in a new trend in education, has a bigger and brighter future before it than any other institution of learning in North Dakota. Wahpeton is proud to have had you as a member of the community during your attendance at “Wahpeton Science.” We hope that if you arc not to return you will encourage others to come here and take the place you have left.
