D. STATE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE WAHPETON, N. DAK. 58075 . THE 1945 Dear Readers: The 1945 Agawasie, our yearbook, carries a theme built around the Campus Hub. It is the desire of the Agawasic Staff to bring to you in this book accurate accounts of the educational factors and extra-curricular activities at the State School of Science. As the Campus Hub was the hub around which the wheel of social and recreational activities took place, it is fitting we put the emphasis on it and call it our newest and latest interest. 'This attractive modern designed Student Union was redecorated this past fall and winter. Formerly it was the building known as Sick Hay when the Naval Training Station was located at the State School of Science. Many students, some alumni, and former navy trainees will rermember it as a one story building, always spic and span from top to bottom, used as the navy hospital. Now it has been converted into four main rooms. 'They arc all newly decorated in ultramodern artistic designs and furnished with the finest furniture and a new fountain. The lounge is beautifully decorated in pale blue and rose with blending shades in the upholstery and draperies. The snack bar is semi-circular in shape surrounded by maroon cushioned stools. Booths of light wood and matching maroon cushions arc also in the lunch room. Soft drinks, confections, and light lunches arc served. Another room is set off for the book store, where all books and school supplies arc sold. The rear of the building is a rectangular shaped club room where club meetings, dances, and social gatherings arc held. Here a nickelodeon offers facilities for dancing on the smooth floor. Never to be forgotten was the grand opening of this Campus Hub on March 1, 1945. The afternoon of that day all YVahpctonians and visiting people were invited to see the new recreation center. Dozens of flowers adorned the rooms with the compliments of many people and business stores. The entertainment of the evening was specifically for SSS students. A program featuring musical numbers, speakers, and dancing highlighted the evening’s festivities. The Queen, who was crowned by President E. F. Riley, officially proclaimed the Campus Hub open. It was a thrilling evening for all those in attendance, and it will live in the memories of all of us. We dedicate our book to the Campus Hub. It is the beginning. It is the beginning of the many more improvements and the construction of new buildings on this campus. And by the time of completion of the postwar plans made for the State School of Science, this will be a much more beautiful and attractive school. And this new beauty will enhance the stately buildings now on the campus. The end of the war will bring more youth to this school to be enrolled in the trades, commercial, and arts departments. It is for them and for those who are now attending school that the plans for the future arc in progress. Our Campus Hub has been a fine addition to the State School of Science. I surely hope that those who come here in the future appreciate this new Student Union as much as all of the students did this year. The Entrance to Main The Trades Building MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR AANDAHL The North Dakota State School of Science is an outstanding institution, both in the quality and the type of work that it is doing. As we move into the re-adjustments of the Post-War period, there is going to be a growing demand for graduates of trade schools. I only hope that the facilities of our School at Wahpeton will be large enough to take care of the large number of students who will want that kind of training. It is a pleasure for me to have this opportunity to place my endorsement upon the fine work that you arc doing. As the years go by 1 hope and know that your Alumni Association will grow stronger and stronger, for its strength will be measured by the work that is done at vour institution. FRED G. AANDAHL MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT RILEY We are again publishing the Agawasie under war-time conditions. This is the first school annual published since the war started that has been issued during the school year without the separate Navy Training Program in operation on the campus. 'This has been a very interesting school year, marking the first stage of the rebuilding process toward a normal student body, as represented in pre-war enrollment. The forty veterans of World War II attending school here have entered into school activities with surprising case and have added much to the enthusiasm of the student body. This Agawasie is the largest of our “war-time annuals” and is an excellent history and record of activities during the school year. I extend my congratulations to the editor and manager of the Agawasie, and to all members of the staff, for the valuable records of school events they arc preserving „y producing this annual.

Trubev, Roy Johnson Actively functioning toward the improvements and advancement of the institutions of higher learning in North Dakota is the North Dakota State Hoard of Higher Education. The members of this board directly control and supervise our University and all of our colleges. It was not until June of 1938 that an amendment to the state constitution was passed providing for a separate board of higher education. The board basset up a fine school system in this state and is recognized for its ability to understand educational problems. HOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION F. J.

General Repair The thought now most dominant in my mind is that our school, during the past four years, has been literally in the midst of war. From 1940 onward we have given shop training for war workers. For two and one-half years the Navy School operated here. More than fifteen hundred former students arc in service. Furry veterans arc now in our classes. Indeed, we know “there is a war going on.” And now we see the weight of Allied armies smashing forward to final victory, and now we arc close to problems of hard-won peace. With this background of war and peace in mind, J wish you not only deserved success in your vocations, but also deeper success as citizens of our own beloved country and as citizens of a world which needs the best you can give. —F. H. McMahon Our appreciation to you people who have put extra time and effort to make possible the publication of this annual, in a year when the job was not an easy one. Although our enrollment was far below normal because of war-time conditions, extra-curricular activities were carried on with as much zest as ever before. An account of most of these “doings” arc well-recorded in this publication. To you publishers and to the leadership in the student body, our sincere appreciation. It is appropriate that this Agawa-sic is built around our newest campus addition, the Campus Hub. Students of 1944-45 arc, in effect, the Hub from which will spring spokes of strength in future years of service of the Wheel—the State School of Science. I hope that you can always look back on year as an interesting and profitable one. —G. W. Haverty Hack row: Sylvan Swapinski, Harry MacLaughlin. Front row: Carol Vosbcrg, Beatrice Kay. STUDENT CABINET Governing the student body during the 1944-45 school year was the Student Cabinet. Sylvan Swapinski was chosen to serve as president of the group. He represented the Trades and Engineering Department. Carol Vosbcrg, secretary, was selected as a representative of the Commercial en-rollees. Harry MacLaughlin was elected by the college students, while Beatrice Kay represented the students enrolled for the long winter term. The Student Cabinet assembled regularly with their adviser, Miss Morris and ex officio member, Mr. Rilev, to discuss pertinent business. They were responsible for planning and carrying out the social activities of the school and governing stu- dent affairs. This year’s cabinet also made plans for the opening of the Hub, the new Student Union. Other work of the governing body was the sponsoring of the Sixth Bond Drive and the American Red Cross Drive. Another function was the appointment of the editors of the school publications. Several special contests were sponsored by the cabinet this year. These were for the election of cheerleaders and choosing the Queen of the Student Union. This year’s work was carried out in a capable and efficient manner which is shown by the accomplishments of the Student Cabinet. Edward Erickson Director and Executive Officer of Vocational Education and Vocational Rehabilitation for North Dakota Mr. Edward Erickson is the Director and Executive Officer for Vocational Education and Vocational Rehabilitation in the State of North Dakota. He has served in this capacity since 1927. During this period he has helped many young men and women who have been injured in industry or crippled in some way. To these unfortunates lie has rendered his services, care, and supervision enabling them to further their education. Many of these young people now have made themselves independent of the aid of others and self-reliant. A good number of them who have learned a trade at the State School of Science arc now successfully employed. Frequently visiting our campus is Mr. Erickson, who has established many friendships on his visits to our school. He has an interest in the work carried on and promoted at the State School of Science. He is admired by many students who realize his kind interest and attitude for the betterment of mankind.

There were approximately 150 or more on the campus. These so-called “greenhorns” took a very active part in all the school organizations and social functions. Many displayed leadership qualities, fine character traits, as well as possessing musical and other talents and abilities. Two representatives on the Student Cabinet were both first year students. The small music groups and glee clubs were composed of a majority of freshmen boys and girls. Editorships of both school publications were held by members of the Freshman Class. The Sacajawca Club meetings and the L. S. A. meetings were probably the most regular and popular gatherings for the students. They had the largest membership. All the members acted on program and refreshment committees. This made each meeting new, different, and appealing to all. 'The basketball squad was made up of these first year students also; as was the band and pep squad. During this time of war, the enrollment here has decreased very much. In spite of the situation, however, college life went on and found its way overcoming all the barriers. This year at Science has proved that social activities can be carried on as before. The recently decorated Campus Hub offered a new attraction to everyone. This, indeed, promoted the recreation of the student body. Variety of students, variety in courses of education, and a variety of social and extra-curricular activities climaxed the 1944-45 school year with pleasing thoughts and memories in the minds of all. Many of the first year students arc looking toward next year at the State School of Science. It might be said that the many freshmen along with the upper classmen aided in the development of an active school spirit.

AGAWASIE STAFF Corinne Glandcr, Editor Audrey Overby, Organizations John Moore, Easiness Manager Mary Pcschel, Society Maralyn Slater, Idvertising Manager Chari Wick, Features James Larson, Circulation Manager Melvin Larson, Photographer Marvin Sorenson, Sports Editor Leon Conover, Photographer In spite of war shortages it was possible for the Agawasic to he published this year. The editor and staff under the supervision of Mr. Petersen started plans for the 1945 yearbook in February. All of the staff members were found searching and scratching for bits of information to add to their stories. Our photographers were seen everywhere snapping pictures of this or that event. Solicitors did a fine job “selling” tile book to fellow students as well as to business men of Wahpeton and Brcckcnridgc. The office of Mr. Petersen became known as the Agawasic Room. It was always full of busy bodies. Our editor buried her nose in the copy as staff editors deftly compiled their material into attractive stories to the clicking of the typewriter keys. A great deal of thanks goes to the adviser for his advice and help in producing this Agawasic. Much effort was put forth by the Agawasic staff to make this annual a success. We hope that we have satisfied you, the readers. Back row: Melvin Egdand, Harry MacLaughlin, Howard Hoveland, Beatrice Kay, Leon Conover, Dale Jurgen son.

SCIENCE CLUB All students interested in any phase of science were eligible to become members of the Science Club. There were approximately forty members. At one of the first meetings a movie, “To Each Other,” all about the making of steel was presented. Another, on the making of lenses, entitled Highlights on Shadows,” was shown at a later meeting. The Club’s interests were numerous. Choices for study were electricity and radar, photography, chemical experimenta- tions, entomology, household inventions, bird study, and astronomy. Each member answered roll call by giving a new fact, discovery, or invention pertaining to these subjects. Officers of the club were James Larson, president; Andrew Thompson, vice-president ; Corinne Glander, secretary-treasurer, and Leon Conover, sergeant-at-arms. The club adviser was Mr. Cavanaugh. During his absence Mr. Harold Klostcr-man served as adviser for the club.

SACAIAWEA CLUB “Every true friend is a glimpse of God.” With such an inspiration as a basis for the members of the Sacajwca Club, they have formed many true friendships. For the first time in the history of the organization a motto lias been adopted. Other firsts were the composing of an original songs and the adopting of official colors, fuchsia and white. The membership totaled 64 with all girls on the campus participating. At each meeting a definite theme was carried out appropriate to the month or season. The program for the December meeting was in the form of a Christmas pageant. Several skits and plays were given at other meetings. Beautifully decorated in fuchsia and white, “The Hub” was the scene of the annual Sacajawca Formal Dance, on Thursday, March 8, 1945. During May the girls entertained at the annual Mothers’ Day 'Pea.

WORLD WAR VETERANS The Science School enrollment included about forty World War 11 Veterans this year. Some of these men finished their second year here. Most of the veterans, however, started on their first year of training. 'The men were from all over North Dakota and several of them came from Minnesota. We had men here that had seen combat duty in various parts of the world. All of the theaters of combat were represented, as well as numerous training camps in the United States. One talkative “vet” always liked to tell about the Rattle of Texas. These men attended school under two different programs, which arc the Veterans Rehabilitation Program and the G. I. Bill of Rights. Rack in civilian life again, the fellows resumed their education where they left off before they went into service for their country. Some of them received handicaps from active duty and arc now learning a new trade. Others have grown tired or dissatisfied with the trade they were following and arc now preparing themselves for a trade they would rather follow.

LUTHERAN STUDENTS ASSOCIATION several informal social meetings. Seven members attended the Northwest Regional Conference at Fargo the first week-end in November. Audrey Overby of Wahpeton was chosen regional librarian. The officers of the club were president, Vernon Johnson; vice-president, Andrew Thompson; secretary, Dagny Reiten; treasurer, Mac Anderson; librarian, Audrey Overby, and reporter, Howard Top-pess. Miss Schulz was the club adviser. This organization, commonly called L. iS.A., affords a means by which Lutheran students on the campus may become acquainted with one another, consider and act upon common problems, and strengthen and encourage one another in Christian faith and in work for Christ and His Church. The L. S. A. meetings were held the first and third Wednesday of each month. Programs were varied. Main features were book reviews, readings, group studies, and musical selections.

NEWMAN CLUB The Newman Club met every second Wednesday of the month in order to bring Catholic students together to give them guidance, to remind them of religious obligations, and to promote the social activities of the members. There was a membership of fifty-nine and the club dues were one dollar. On the program at several social gatherings were well-known speakers. Two of these were Mr. Frank Webb and Father Demmerling. The Christmas party was the outstanding event of the year. Father Axtman, the spiritual adviser, had much to do with the success of the club. Frank Richter was chosen president; Mary Rcmillard, vice-president; Bernice Goven, secretary-treasurer, and Robert Kieman, sergeant-at-arms. A fine gesture promoted by the Newman Club was a Mass Service said in honor of former Catholic students from the State School of Science who were killed in action or died in the service of their country.

JUNIOR COLLEGE CLUB All students carrying three college subjects were eligible for membership in the Junior College Club. The annual dues were twenty-five cents and students were assessed for any special activities in which they took part. This was a purely social organization with no regular meeting dates set. Exclusive, delightful, and fun describes the last party of the club. The entire evening was spent divulging in the lighter type of entertaining games and dancing. Officers for the club were Howard Hoveland, president; LcMoyne Krause, vice-president, and Jeannette Hektner, secretary-treasurer. Faculty advisers were Mr. McMahon and Miss Madden. Miss Schulz acted as substitute adviser. A talk by Mr. Clifford Sclmeller, attorney, and several musical numbers by entertainers from Rreckenridge High School was the program at the Junior College Formal Dance.

ELECTRICAL CLUB The Electrical Club, in its twentieth year as an active organization, is comprised of students from the radio, electrical, and refrigeration departments. The regular meetings were scheduled for the last Monday of every month. At these meetings talks were given on various problems to be encountered in each of these prospective fields. With the help of Mr. Soltis, cducatonal films have been shown at the meetings. They have stressed the fact that radio, electricity, and refrigeration arc active and expanding fields in the world today. Special parties were held once a month. Entertainment consisted of card playing, quizzes, and dancing. The club had an active membership of 47 which made it one of the most prominent clubs this year. Officers of the club were Leo Schulz, president; and Dale Jurgenson, sccratary-■treasurer. The faculty adviser was Mr. Barnard.

SPANISH-GERMAN CLUB The purpose of the foreign language clubs, such as the Circulo Espanol and Dcutscher Vcrcin Clubs, is to give the students the opportunity to learn and use their vocabulary of idioms, to learn the culture and life of the people whose language they arc studying, to use lightly, even playfully what they have been striving to acquire, and to discover that the learning of a new language is one of life’s greatest acquisitions. Singing songs, dramatizing skits and dialogues, playing games, having parties, recording conversations—all in the new language—constituted the program material for meetings in connection with class work. Members of Circulo Espanol Club were Senorita Mary Remillard, Senorita Jeanne Bute, Senorita Maralyn Slater, Senorita Jeannette Haktner, and Senorita Corinne Glandcr. Members of Dcutscher Vcrcin Club were Herr Andrew Thompson, Herr John Moore, and Fraulcin Mary Pcschcl. The faculty adviser was Miss Esther Schulz.

DRAFTSMEN'S CLUB The twelve members of the Draftsmen’s Club held their organization meeting November 8, 1944. They held their meetings every third Monday in the month. They lost one member, Allen Bomstad, to the armed forces. Kntcrtainmcnt was their prime objective. They had movies, informal talks by local contractors, cards, singing, and last but not least, instructive quizzes. The members would bring their questions con- cerning some phase of building, trying to stump their instructor; for if they could do so he must pay; but, if he was able to answer correctly, the questioner had to bear the loss. This fund was used for a fishing trip. Officers elected for the club were as follows: president, Chari Wick and vice-president, James Rognlien, who was replaced by Melvin Larson. Mr. Anderson was their faculty adviser. = Back rote: Lloyd Toftner, Gordon Keeler, Raymond Voellcr. Art Sampson, Robert Mohs, Jack Mollins.

The number of members was small, but the fellows had pleasant times at club meetings. Leon Conover, president, presided at the meeting, while Jack Mollins acted as secretary-treasurer. 'fhc purpose of the club was to further outside reading on airplanes and to give the air-minded men a chance to exchange their ideas on all phases of aviation. The monthly meetings featured outside speakers, talks by instructors, movies, and card-playing for entertainment. Lunch was served at all gatherings. flic club tines were used to finance the grand finale, an outing at the lakes for a tiny of fishing ami outdoor sports. 'Phe club members showed a great deal of interest in their study of aviation. Some were seen flying through the skies while others worked on repairs of airplanes. Mr. Sampson was the faculty adviser for the club. Hack row: Robert Lund, Dorothy Thykeson, Elroy Baldner, Harry Mac-Laughlin, Andrew Thompson, LcRoy Hoogc.

SCIENCE BAND Dressed in dashing black and red emblemed sweaters, members of the Science band made a number of appearances before the student audience. The band played throughout the basketball season at all of the home games. Keeping right in time with the pep marches the band played was the student body, who rhythmically clapped and sang to the school songs, “Go, Science, Go” and “Black Sweater.” As there were not enough students at the State School of Science who played instruments, a number of Wahpeton High School people became a part of the Science organization. We wish to thank them for giving our band complete orchestration and also for their cooperation. The band was under the direction of Mr. L. C. Buslec. He is also director of the Wahpeton High School Band and the City Band.

They sang at several Sacajawca meetings such as the annual Christmas Party, the Mothers’ Tea, and at Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises in June. The trio sang at several school dances and at the Campus Hub opening. Girls in this trio were Dagny Reiten, Norma Adams, and Doris Jankc. A girls’ sextet had the following girls as members: Geraldine Fcdjc, Carole Holmes, Audrey Overby, Maralyn Slater, Gloria Fischer, and Twyla Bollingberg.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB “A home is where the heart is.” Girls in the Home Economics Club were found preparing for happier homes. Participating' in the club were college Home Economics students, and those talcing sewing or cooking as a trade. Here, there, and everywhere on the campus evidence of their work was seen. For who, but these Home Economics girls made the drapes for the Hub”, and the girls’ lounge, or re-upholstered the chairs in the girls’ lounge and the boys’ lounge. Tantalizing aromas, which lured passerby to the door where they could only peer around the corner to see what’s cook- ing, emanated from the Home Economics kitchen. The Christmas party, entertained by Miss Forkner, had its purpose in bringing a closer fellowship among members. At the St. Patrek’s Day party the bon-nie lassies certainly carried out an Irish theme with traditional shamrocks and Kelly greens. A spring picnic marked the final meeting of the club year. Officers of the club were Lydia Dittus, president; Hcrnicc Swenson, secretary-treasurer, and Jeannette Hektner, program chairman. Miss Forkner was the club adviser.

D. Last winter, Satt the Printer (H. B. Sattcrlcc to you) wrote to the Minneapolis Tribune a reminiscent letter about Taylors Falls, Minnesota, where roamed he in youth along the fair St. Croix. In the letter he mentioned a boyhood schoolmate, Charlie Roos, who later made the Chosen Valley the subject of a hook called Green Timber. That mention brought about an exchange of correspondence, now in lively process, between Mr. Sattcrlcc and Mr. Roos, who now writes songs and scenarios in California. The song-poem on the opposite page is one of the details of that correspondence. Lindax t iE .Hzciuz £aaajawe. By Charles O. Roos Under the leaves In the forest dark She is sleeping, Over the mound Like prayer plumes— Willows weeping—weeping.... 1 raise my eyes no more to the sky Nor rising sun nor evening star, Sad are the winds that stir my heart My grief is deep and old and far, Pale winter-moons walk thru my night No red of dawn for the heart that grieves-Thru the long-dark of my pain I wander My path is deep with falling leaves. . . .

Candidates for the Queen Contest QUEEN CONTEST Guys and gals were all hepped up about the Queen of the Campus Huh election. As you’ll all recall, there were five luscious lovelies nominated and for nearly a month there was a definite feeling of suspense hanging over our fair campus and within its institutional walls. We had brunettes, blondes, and brownettes, but the one lucky lass who walked off with the honors was Hessann Williams. There was, without a doubt, a heap of competition; the candidates, all freshmen, were all good prospects and deserved a chance to win. The girls were Jeanne Bute, 11 all ic Trovatten, Dagny Keiten, Beatrice Kay, and Bessann Williams. The queen, dressed in a peach formal, was attended at the formal opening of the Hub by the other four contestants. It was the Queen’s privilege to choose the Whisker King of the campus, together with Mr. Riley and Mr. Bute. Up to the time of the opening some campaigning was done. Attractive signs decorated the hallways as did the shining faces of the contestants. '1'hc voting was by secret ballot of the entire student body. REMEMBER . . .

Stalled in the Snow WHISKER CONTEST Two versatile young promoters, Bob great and the decision difficult. Kiernan and Bob Hallquist, about January Winners were announced at the Campus 7, 1945, initiated a Whisker Club. About Hub opening by the judges, Queen Bessann forty-eight Science School students respon- Williams, Mr. Riley, and Mr. Bute, ded to the idea, and willingly paid their fee Choices were made according to style, ap-of twenty-five cents for membership. The pcarancc, texture, thickness, and length of race was on. The object of the club was to whiskers. sec who could grow the most attractive Howard Hoveland received the top hon-beard, mustache, or combination thereof by ors and Ellis Freeman was awarded the scc-March 1. Two cash prizes were in store ond prize. These Whisker Kings proudly •'for the two best. exchanged a kiss with the Queen. Time wore on as did the whiskers. Some A good deal of cooperation, high spirit-of the fellows, in fact, most of them, began cd enthusiasm, along with a determined shaving. Too much to bear! Gradually, will, resulted in many bearded folk at SSS one by one dropped out, until the evening for several months. After the close of the of March 1, only 11 members of the club contest, however, the beards disappeared were left. Competition between beards was quickly and familiar faces were seen again. Last fall the custom of electing representatives for the Student Cabinet was off to an enthusiastic start in the primary campaign. Two World War II veterans running against one another created a sensation which, to he sure, hadn’t taken place for some years in the annals of this school. 'l'lie interest was centered around these two in particular and there was much competition. Mr. Sylvan J. Swapinski and Mr. Leon G. Conover were both overseas veterans. Mr. Swapinski had a slight advantage having attended school here the prior year. This, however, didn’t dampen the spirit of Mr. Conover’s bandwagon. Manager of Mr. Swapinski was none other than a genius in the person of Mr. Vernon Johnson. His helper, Mr. Frank Richter, a well-mannered gent with an over-flowing personality, was press manager. These two men also were veterans who so gallantly gave their time to preserve the fundamentals of unprejudiced voting. Mr. Conover’s bandwagon was piloted by Mr. Chari W. Wick. His associates Mr. Melvin R. Larson, pressman, Rob Kiernan, James Larson,, and Gordon Keg-ler, took care of all the errands, which were many, in preparing to present their man to the students. Most of the boys hanging on to the rum- bling wagon of Mr. Conover were honorably discharged and had a good slant on how heated these elections can be. Verbal blows were, figuratively, hurled at one another of the candidates. However, the final elections eliminated all the hard feelings between the active ingredients. Mr. Swapinski came out on top, a swell Yuan for the job. As we can sec. he has han- dled the capacity of being elected not only to the Cabinet, but also president of the Cabinet. A man well worth his weight in gold ; a straight A man for his two years of school work. Representatives from the other departments of the school also elected to the governing body were Beatrice Kay, Harry MacLnughlin, and Carol Vosberg. President Swapinski Life at the Cottages A haven of rest and luxury was Center when one reached Center Cottage and Cottage after a day’s work, that is, just found comfort, warmth, and interest with-any school day. But why not—when one in. walked in a weary manner over snow The girls inhabiting Center Cottage drifts and icy sidewalks, or in the rain, were all very good housekeepers, and they what better feeling could there be than should be, for all were enrolled in the Home Economics classes. They tell us they go through many “seemless” problems, but really “seamful” to all of us. 'I'hc six girls, Geneva, Rose, Mary, Lena, Leona, and Betty Lou lived as one happy family. They worked and played hard. And some of the most enjoyable parties were executed by these girls. Many of their friends visited them at the cottage and were at all of th parties. They attended many movies and lunched a good many times together. All had a lot of fun and enjoyed each other’s company. This year’s life in West Cottage was full of merriment along with many strange happenings and pranks. There never was a dull moment in West Cottage as long as there were girls who were able to make use of their talking ability. The best time to hear the hottest gossip was in the evening, especially during the winter months. When the weather was too cold to do anything else, the girls started a discussion. What we talked about and who started it, no one can remember as we talked too much. borne ciays were happy, some days were „..u, anu mere were days when things were just in-between. There were nights when ten o’clock hit the dot and some weren’t on the spot. Occasionally even some of better-behaved cottage girls ignored the fact that time was passing, and after hours usually caught them. Then came the problem of at all the parties. They attended many cd?” Dagny solved this little problem— try the window and you will never be left out. Getting lights out and the radio quiet seemed to be the hardest. But even that was useless, for one night we all got to bed before twelve, then what should disturb us, but Cleo’s downfall from a double-decker bed. It was things like that that scared us half out of our wits. Sunday was always enjoyed. “Who brought some sugar stamps back?” There was always a solution for that question, somebody always had the stamps and Mrs. Hyde had the sugar. After all was settled, a fudge party was in the making. This was a great sport, especially trying to keep Ar-dis and Carol away from the delicious stuff until it was cold, for Bernice’s recipe said, “Please, for your health, do not eat until cold.” Every evening just about that time, the chant was “anybody want anything from Hyde’s?” It was Caroline doing her good deed for the day. She knew we couldn’t sleep without our usual lunch. Eldora and Gladys arc about tied for the most studious of the group. What day did we all dread? It was Saturday without a doubt. That was the day that everyone slept until too late, and then for miles these questions would echo. Where’s the mop? Who’s got the soap? Is the water hot? Do you suppose a dust pan will work or will we need to borrow a shovel ? Well, anyhow we all worked together and by the time of inspection all was in place without a spot. Our telephone number was 429J and when it buzzed, who’d get there first? We call this a draw between LcMoync and Norma. Say, who were all those pals? All and all the 1945 Center and West Cottage Girls with their parties and their pranks considered this year as a memory with the thoughts of a lot of fun.

St. Patrick's Party “Who’s Irish? was the sixty-four dollar question at the St. Patrick’s Day Party of the Home Economics j� irls. As the 1 inner to be served came in the third week in March, they chose the suitable Irish theme. Green and white were the predominating colors. Colored candles formed the center-pieces on the two tables. Shamrocks, decorated with shell work, were used as place cards. Two tables were set with fourteen covers. Miss Forkncr was hostess at the table of guests. Members of the Home Economics Club were guests. Even the food carried out the Irish theme. Green salad and peas furnished a variety from the white mashed potatoes and creamed chicken. Fresh angel food cake and ice cream was served for desert. After the dinner games were enjoyed by everyone. Decommissioning of Navy School Students, faculty members, and employees the Wahpcton Naval Training Station of the school were present for the lowering which was in operation since May, 1942, of the Flag and official decommissioning serving and training more than 3500 men ceremonies held on the campus October 30, in navy uniform from practically every 1944. This marked the official closing of state in the nation. Christmas story, l'hc Grand March. Keep your eye on it, Jim! Draftsmen’s conference. Aw, come on! The old chow line. More refreshments, Umm! “Butterfly ’ specialists. Cokes and cookies at L.S.A. Scene from the Christmas play. Where to, kids? Bingo! Parties and Assemblies ☆ ☆ ☆ Get Acquainted Party, Oct. 5 The faculty gave a party For all the lads and lasses 'Twas the first all campus mixer And a relief from daily classes. Welcoming the new students to the first all school party was Carol Vosbcrg, second year student, and Jeanne Bute, freshman, who reciprocated with the response. After entertainment by four WDAY artists, circulating card games familiarized the students with one another. Nickelodeon dancing followed. The latter led to the beginning of many Science romances. Parkinson Ensemble, Oct. 6 The Parkinson Ensemble Came to the Science one Friday morn To entertain the students And make them less forlorn. Proving that there is talent in this part of the country, too, was the ensemble of W. B. Parkinson. The program consisted of entertainment by two mid-western girls displaying their talent in the use of the marimba, clarinet, piano, and voice. “The Jeweler Apprentice Medley” was one of the main features which consisted of twelve numbers representing the twelve hours of the night. Sacajawea Biq Sister Tea, Oct. 12 As in the years gone by Sacajawea Club sponsored a tea Big sisters, as well as little ones Got better acquainted, you sec. To acquaint themselves with the new coeds on the campus, the Sacajawea Big Sisters sponsored their annual tea on October 12. Maralyn Slater gave the welcoming address with Bernice Govcn responding. Piano solos and group singing were the main features of the program, and games were played by all. Alexander Trio, Oct. 25 Saxophones, pianos, banjos, Violins, dolls, and balloons 'The Alexander 'Frio talent Echoed throughout the rooms. Baffling the audience with her “gum chewing” was Miss Alexander of the Alexander Trio as they presented an entertaining assembly, Wednesday, October 25. Mr. Alexander displayed his talent in playing musical numbers on a saw and a balloon, along with several numbers on his saxophone. A mechanical doll number and a ventriloquist act, in addition to two humorous readings, completed the program successfully. Halloween Party, Nov. 2 Amidst scarecrows, pumkins, and ghosts, Students “trembled” into the fun Of the annual Halloween Frolic With a program planned and well done. With colors of orange and black predominating, the gym was the scene of a typical Halloween Frolic. Dancing to the smooth music of Lloyd Keller’s orchestra was the entertainment for many, while Bunco furnished fun and excitement for others. Ghosts and ghost stories made their ceric entrance in the middle of the evening, and one of the best school parties of the year was concluded. Armistice Day The program for Armistice Day Was given three days ahead And it was enjoyed by everyone Not missing a word that was said. Delivering the Armistice Day address this year was Honorable W. H. Hutchinson, Judge of the 'Third Judical district. 'The contents of his speech dealt with vital problems of democracy and peace. 'To have a world organization, he said that it would be necessary for the nation to remain strong, militarily and virtually. Judge Hutchinson stated that in order to have a good government, we must fight for it as citizens, and value liberty and justice for all. At the climax of his speech the Judge said,“The decision is with you. Your decision will determine the future character of the United States.” His timely and interesting speech was an inspiration to the entire student body. Color Travelogue, Nov. 15 It’s useless to go to Europe 'To see the sites they have there When here in our own U. S. A. We have many sites to share. At the assembly on November 15 a movie travelogue was presented. Those attending the feature were entertained by this technicolor movie which showed the beautiful, scenic, and historic sites located in the United States. The tour was transcontinental and took us to every section of our country where it pointed out some beauteous phenomcnas. It did, indeed, open our eyes to the splendor of our country. Thanksgiving Party, Nov. 20 With contests, games, quizzes, and songs The Thanksgiving Party was great It was new, different, and loads of fun To be there was a pleasant fate. It was one of the most original and hilarious parties of the year. That in a breath, describes the Thanksgiving Party held on November 20. Commencing the program was a social mixer in the form of a name collecting contest. Taking over in a P.D.Q. way was Leon Conover who acted as Doctor P.D.Q. for the quiz contest.

COACH EARL BUTE Better known as “Skip”, Earl Bute, athletic coach, has made some of the finest championship teams in the Northwest. Sports were not so active this year on the campus because of the few hoys who reported for participation in sports. Still Coach Bute had a basketball team and it, too, came through with victories. He also helped to mold the characters of the boys by his work with them. ftack row: James Larson, Harold Kcttcrling, Robert Hallquist, Donald Merrick, John Moore. Front row: Emmett Johnson, Richard Wolf, Ervin Ulland, Marvin Sorenson, Calvin Carpenter, Gordon Keglcr. BASKETBALL Basketball was the only sport this year at the State School of Science because of World War II. Football and track were both eliminated due to the shortage of men students and lack of comparable competition with other teams who have army and navy personnel to benefit the strength of their team. Coach Bute called the first basketball practice in the middle part of November. Only nine men turned out the first week and two more men the second week with only one returning letterman from the previous year. The first three weeks found Coach Bute working hard getting his men in shape with ball handling, offensive and defensive plays. The season as a whole proved very successful, from the standpoint that so few men had reported to practice. The team won five and lost seven games throughout the year, always proving a threat to any team that it met. Eight men received letters in basketball. T hey were Hardy Johnson, James Larson, Ervin Ulland, John Moore, Marvin Sorenson, Richard Wolf, Gordon Keglcr, and Buck Merrick. With the return of many lettermen from this year and new students who will make their bid for basketball honors next year, Coach Bute predicts that the year to come will prove even more successful than the one just ended.

EPILOGUE Each year at the time of graduation when old friends and college acquaintances must part and go their own way, a sentimental feeling is aroused in their hearts. All difficulties and petty gripes arc forgotten. Then everyone remembers the fun, good pals, and grand times they spent, plus the knowledge they acquired, during their school days at the North Dakota State School of Science. To each and every one of you, who is about to leave us, may you have an abundance of luck and happiness in all your endeavors. To the Agawasic Staff 1 wish to express my thanks for the fine work and cooperation you have shown in this publication. 1 simply want to say that you did a swell job and thanks ever so much. Another most deserving word of appreciation goes to the people in the Print Shop. Without the aid of Mr. Currie and Mr. Sattcrlcc, this book would not have been so attractive. The many hours they spent working surely merit a big thank you. And with them the printing students have shown how a fine bit of printing can successfully be accomplished. My thanks to you gentlemen and students. This year a good deal of the work on the Agawasic that is usually done by some business concern was done in the Print Shop. The covers were printed and stitched here. The staff gathered the pages and assembled them into the proper order. The end of the school year was a scene of rushing. All last minute tasks were cleaned up and the book was on its way to completion. Even though all those who helped with the book spent much time on it. I am certain that they feel it was well worth their while. Now that the staff, the printers, and anyone else who contributed to the making of the hook have drawn a sigh of relief and relaxed their efforts, we hope that you appreciate this Agawasic. Mr. Petersen, without your constant help, advice, and active work on our Agawasic, the staff and I never would have completed the task. 1 sincerely appreciate all that you did. Our school year has ended and all tasks have been completed. We have reached the climax of this year’s accomplishment. I hope that you all can find pleasant memories as in later years you page through the pages of this 1945 Agawasic. ' OjOOOCCO'? “J ir: WmM : . ?OOCOOOOO Lvy; COOOOCOOCOCCOj xj jooocxxx.o_oi nf
