Pictorial Section Che Acjautasi'e SECTION NO. 1 WAHPETON. N. D. 1950 The Campus The North Dakota State School of Science, a school of vocational-technical education, as seen in this aerial view is located in Wahpcton, a city of 5,000 at the head of the Red River of the North and at the gateway to the world-famed Red River Valley. Beginning actual operation in 1003, Wahpoton Science, as the school is familiarly known, is nearly 50 years old and now is made up of three interacting departments: trade school, business school and junior college. The junior college is the second oldest public junior college in the United States and the first not operated in conjunction with a high school. The business school began operation in 1905. The trades school, founded in 1921, has become one of the best and most widely known schools of its type in the United States. Starting in the lower left-hand corner of the pic- tures and following the campus oval clockwise you see the cottages, girls' living quarters; Burch Hall, men’s dorm; Chemistry building: Old Main; Trades Annex and hangar: Main Trades building; Old Trades building: Campus Hub; Gymnasium; the Barracks, and the tennis courts. In the upper right-hand corner can be seen a portion of the trailer camp. The campus airport and athletic field are at the extreme top of the picture. The school has become famous throughout the United States for the success it has achieved in training young men and women to fill the needs of employers and communitcs in its own area. Its training programs have been developed with just one aim in mind: to provide the skilled technicians necessary for trade, business and industry in North Dakota. All training is based on the school’s slogan. ’’Where Students Learn By Doing” and textbooks take a back seat to shop and laboratory, work on jobs typical of those in which students will find employment. PAGE 2 Winter Or Summer . . . Visioned through beautiful snow-covered shuhbery. Ok! Main, which was erected in 1801 as part of Red River Valley University, predecessor of Wahpcton Science, stands at the center of the campus. Although it retains its beloved exterior. the interior is undergoing a $65,000 modernization now nearing completion. This four-story building houses tin- school business offices, the junior college and the business school. Summer, too. brings beauty to the campus as the many beautiful trees take on their full plumage. In the contrasting summer view is the modern Trades building, located directly east of Old Main tit can be seen protruding beyond Old Main in the upper picture.) Many trades departments, in which students learn by doing,” are found inside this building constructed in 1028 and enlarged in 1928. These two buildings are the center of educational activity on campus. Their shops and classrooms arc busy from morning to night with the training activities that really are the State School of Science and thus through the years, these two buildings have come to be recognized as symbols of the school. THE 1950 AGAWASIE 4 THE 1950 AGAWASIE PAGE 3 Burch Hall Is Home To Over 100 Campus Men Throughout Year At the left upon entering Un-campus stands Burch Hall, which over 100 men call their home while attending Wahpcton Science. As shown in this winter scene, the men's dorm is a Ihree-storv brick structure which furnishes large, comfortable rooms and excellent accomodations for those men. Dorm life is an important phase of the campus life. Associations among students formed during Burch Hall days are often lasting ones. Kvery night the walls of the building resound with evidences that life is far from dull for the students who call the dorm, •■home.” In one room you'll find a group of young men engaged in the all important bull session discussing anything and everything from atomic bombs to atomic blondes. In another corner will be a friendly game of cards with plenty of onlookers. Cliff Johnson and his guitar may be holding forth in still another room with the hushy voices of a hastily gathered quartette giving words to the songs he plays. Another time these same rooms may be the scene of some ardent cramming for a final exam or some hasty work on a last minute assignment. All of these spell Burch Hall. Chemistry Building Houses Labs Of Three Science Departments In the northwest corner of the campus we find the chemistry building. This is one of the older buildings that has been completely modernized throughout. On the first floor is a modern and well-equipped physics lab ami lecture room. On the second lloor are the biology and chemistry laboratories. The building is equipped with alternating and direct current: gas: compressed air: hot and cold water and has a vacuum line in each laboratory. The three laboratories have over $30,000 in equipment. In these laboratories is where we find many students spending tiring hours of study finding a definition for matter or dissecting frogs trying to see what makes them tick. In the chemistry lab students are tinkering with acids and test lubes, all anxious to see which one will be the first to blow the roof of this famous building. famous for having withstood the ravages of three generations of classes and still being able to stand on its own foundation. Although the building is probably used by fewer students than most any other instruction building o.i campus, it holds special memories for most every student who has had occasion to make use of its facilities. Maybe it’s the odor of a particularly potent chemistry experiment, the noise of a physics problem in sound or the not-too-close-to- linner, please aspect of some of the biology experiments, but it will always hold down a special spot in the college days memories of those students of science. PAGE THE 19S0 AGAWASIE Campus Entrance Dominated By Towers Of Old Main Looking north down Wnhpeton's sixth street and through the brick gateposts at the State School of Science entrance, the towers of picturesque Old Main rise at the center of the campus. The Chemistry building is located directly to the left of Old Main, with Burch Hall at the extreme left. The neat arrangement of the buildings around the campus oval makes any point on the campus convenient from most any other point. Recently a campus expansion plan has been drawn up to give organization to additional campus building. One of the main features of the campus plan is the addition of a new boulevard drive entering the campus from Fourth street on the East and the changing of the present campus ovnl to a boulevard drive. Girls' Cottages Known For Homey Atmosphere Just ask any of the 700 men on campus and they'll confirm your beliefs that these two houses. West and Center cottages, possess the homiest atmosphere of all dorm facilities on the campus. The two cottages provide modern living quarters with home-like touch. They are supplemented by Cottage Court, a four-apartment building which is a modern experiment in campus housing. The cottages arc under the supervision of the Dean of Women who makes her home in Center cottage. In the past the cottages have had a versatile background as campus housing units. During World War II. they went to war along with other parts of the school serving as quarters for Navy personnel stationed on campus and early in the war. as living quarters for campus males. “Just ask the 700 men... THE 1950 AGAWASIE PAGE 5 Winter Is A Season Of Beauty At SSS To a North Dakotan winter is more or-less taken for granted, but to visitors from warmer climates the Dakota winter is a subject of fascination. Does it actually get 10 below?” Do snow banks get as high as houses? How do you stand those blizzards ? and similar questions are common. But to anyone who has been away from the Dakotas for a few winters, the season of the snow is more than just a few months of bad weather. The camera frequently brings this point forceably home to us. Since most of the photography for the Agnunxir is. of necessity, a winter project, snow scenes fill the files. Here are a group of them, selected at random, that proves the point that the campus has a distinctive beauty in the winter as well as during the “green months. In the first picture to the right is the Red River of the North under a blanket of snow. The famed Red wends its way northward just a couple of blocks cast of the campus — providing a natural boundary line between North Dakota and Minnesota. Along the Red is Wahpetons modern Chahinkapa park, providing recreation facilities of all types. During winter months, students make use of its large skating rinks. Its baseball stadium is home to the Wildcats diamond teams: its picnic grounds are popular with student groups, with the added color of the zoo. rock garden and miscellaneous recreation facilities. During other seasons the swimming pool, the football stadium, softball diamonds, tennis courts, band concerts and other facilities are popular with students. Campus golfers cast an anxious eye on the new links nearing completion. The Science gymnasium (second picture) is located on the right upon entering the campus. Two stories high, it serves the dual purpose of athletic court and auditorium. Above the basketball lloor is a cork-faced running track which is used for conditioning athletes and for indoor exercise. The first lloor of the building provides showers and other accommodations for both men and women and has a general recreation room. A new field house, to be built this summer, will bring many changes to the gymnasium, including the conversion of its basketball court into a permanent auditorium. Picture number three demonstrates how the towers of Old Main command the countryside. The perennial evergreen stands out significantly on the snow-covered ground in a typical North Dakota winter scene. Moving closer to the school we meet the campus trailer camp face-to-face. Married students and their families find permanent living quarters in the trailer camp at the east end of the campus. The camp also has facilities for students who wish to move their own trailers onto the campus. PAGE 6 THE 19S0 AGAWASIE Campus Hub... There’s a .standard procedure for locating: any student on campus. First you go to a low white build ing directly across the campus oval from Burch Hall and if. by some unusual coincidence, he or she doesn't happen to be there you check with the people that are there. This routine is a Rood example of the logic with which the building was named the Campus-Hub. Among the many facilities of the most popular buildinR on the campus are its snack bar: the school supply store; recreation rooms with facilities for parties, club meetings and other functions: a music room used for band and vocal group practice sessions and weekly broadcasts, and such miscellaneous facilities as the campus post office. .1 took of iccIconic is one of -Gillie out standing features of the Cam pus Hub.

The facilities of the Hub and the school supply store are operated jn a self-supporting, non-profit basis. The price of books and. supplies are kept as near to actual cost as possible and any profits are used for improvements in Huh facilities. One unusual feature of the school supply store is the large number of tools it handles for use in the various trades departments. The Wildcat room of the Hub a has many functions. During the day its tables are alternately used for eating and recreation and in the evening the room becomes a meeting place for many campus organisations. Typical of its evening function is a meeting of the Student Wires Club. The He peat room is. Miss Schulz’s pride and joy. This room is designed to provide a guiet an:! convenient place ichere vocal groups and the band may hold practice sessions. The broadcast club also uses the He peat room for their weekly Wahpetou Science On The Air” broadcasts over KHMW. In the picture at the tower right the band gives out with some fast notes during one of the weekly broadcasts. Lawrence Yeilenheimer gives out with a look of satisfaction as he illustrates one of the reasons why the Campus Hub is the Campus •W- hub. THE 1950 AGAWASIE PACK 8 SSS Family Schaff Family living quarters at Wah-peton Science are an important post war campus development. Both apartments and trailers are available on campus and in heavy demand. One of the lucky families is that of Michael Schaff. first year electrical student. These friendly folk hail from a farm near Glen Ullin. Michael's day is taken up with his school work, while Mrs. Schaff keeps plenty busy taking care of two future Science students. David. 2. and Bichard. 1. and doing the housework. Then after a busy day the Schaflfs engage in their favorite pastime—just relaxing and playing with the boys. Campus life for the married students isn't much different than that of single boys. The men and their wives frequently take in the Here the Michael SchafT 4kt-famihj spend a quiet evening at home, the climax to a busy day at school for father Mike. A The trailers are equipped with a kitchenette where Mrs. Schaff pours a good hot cup of coffee. The kitchenette is cleverly arranged, making meal preparation in a limited space possible. Laundry facilities are avail- ▲ able in a special building equip- pe:l icith tubs and washing machines ready for use. Young David looks on with curious eyes as his mother does the week's wash. school activities (providing baby sitters are willing and able). The wives are organized into a Student Wives club that has regular meetings. Young David finds plenty of playmates in the trailer camp and in the closeby apartments, and the campus has many interesting corners of an adventurous lad to investigate. The families in the camp get along like one big family for not only are their living circumstances similar but the fathers are engaged in the same occupation. Many evenings are spent comparing notes. There's always confusion on the campus between Mike Schaff and Family and Agawasie editor Mike Schaff. They’re cousins and both hail from Glen Ullin. but editor Mike swears that he doesn't have a family and familynmn Mike swears he's no editor. David bids a last minute goodbye to his dad. who’s off to school. Meanwhile Mrs. Schaff and liich-ard wave goodbye from the trailer door. $ Che Agaumstfe Dedicated To The Newspapers Of America DEDICATION SECTION WAHPETON, N. DAK. 1950 • ■ P J ■ _ A their own back yard—a battle to maintain frcc lom ■ ■ ■ of speech, a battle to maintain a free press. t lln lnrt 1 Akil.ti 1n am A l IK Today—and every day—the majority of 150,-000.000 Americans will pick up a newspaper of their own choice and read it without any particular appreciation of the privilege they arc enjoying. The development of the United States and the American newspaper are so closely linked together that few of us ever stop to consider the connection. As America grew from a small group of settlers on the Atlantic coast to a sprawling empire which has become the number one nation in the world, the American newspaper has constantly been the guiding light. The never ceasing battle to keep America the land of freedom has demanded leadership and to the American newspaper has fallen this all-important task. Whenever a threat has arisen to any of the freedoms Americans enjoy, it has been the newspapers task to organize the defense of our liberties. Often it has been a battle right in Without the leadership provided by the American newspapers it is extremely doubtful that America today would be the land of the free . They have not been alone in the cause of freedom, for it has been the cause of every alert American. But, through their ability to establish guideposts and chart the way. they have played a most important role. In their role as leader, the newspapers of America have also been able to aid in the other phases of the development of our country. They have played an important part in giving America the highest standard of living in the world. In war and in peace they have kept America the leader in the development of a better life for every man. In recognition of their service not only to Americans, but to the world as a whole, the staff of the I9S0 Agawaaie considers it an honor and a privilege to dedicate this yearbook to the newspapers of America. PAGE 2 THE 1950 AGAWASIE SSS Pays Tribute To American Newspapers During the spring term, students in freshman rhetoric were instructed to write a brief theme on the subject. Freedom Of The Press In America. The themes presented as many different views on the subject as there were students in the class. Originally the editors of The A galvanic requested that the assignment be included in the spring term schedule so that the best one could be reprinted in this dedication section. However, since so many views were put forth, the editors took the liberty of combining pertinent points from several of them. The following theme, then, might be entitled Freedom Of The Press In America by The students of the North Dakota State School of Science”: ☆ ☆ ☆ i an early colonial courthouse in Xciv York City in the late eighteenth century, a brilliant lawyer. Andrew Hamilton, defended Peter Zenger. ’ .eager had committed the offense of criticizing the governor of Xew York in the Xew York Weekly Journal. Zenger was acquitted and this famous case established the basis for American freedom of the press.—Keith Anderson. Since the Zenger ease— the morning star of that liberty which subsequently revolutionized America —freedom of the press in our country has been exhnlted by presidents. poets and editors alike. All agree that the right to print fact or actual opinion in newspapers is one of great importance and should not be denied.—Ila Langseth. Freedom of the press is a priceless heritage which can not be forgotten. It is a fundamental basis on which this republic survives. An Informed mass of people has been formed by the free American press. —James Flaa. From the beginnings of American national life, a free press has served to focus public attention and form opinion. It is America's most powerful weapon in defense of the democracies. It is America's strongest tool in her daily job of keeping her people well informed.—Pat McCarty. ☆ -.the itor. Jr S'; NDPA President Jay Bryant Cites N. D. Newspapers Jay A. Bryant, president of the North Dakota Press Association, was among the editors asked to contribute a statement for the 1950 Agawasie. Bryant, one of the outstanding weekly editors in North Dakota, is the present editor of the Napoleon Homestead. Active in many community and state affairs, he was the third in line to become editor of the three-generation paper, the Homestead. It was founded in 1886 by his grandfather, George A. Bryant. The important part that newspapers played and do play now in I he Failed States is often recognized and I am pleased to learn that your yearbook. The Agawasie. will be dedicated to that end. We like lo think of and review the part that has been taken in North Dakota by newspapers, particularly during pioneer days. During the early settlement of our state, the prairie editors were instrumental in attracting settlers who came here to homestead. They were community leaders. Their papers were informative, entertaining. I.ut not always profitable. At one time there were about three times as many papers in this state. These early editors endured many hardships in getting out their weekly papers with meager equipment. necessitated by lack of capital. Hut they were a hardy lot. and their Finished product reflected their rugged character. With the possible exception of railroads, the newspapers played the most important part in the early development of our great state. In behalf of the press association. I wish to thank you and your staff for paying tribute to Journalism. and to extend sincere best wishes for a successful year book. Jay A Hryant. President North Dakota Press Association President Truman Unable To Join In Agawasie Salute To Newspapers Among those invited to participate in this tribute to the newspapers for their role in the development of America was President Harry S. Truman. In answer to the invitation, Editor Schaff received the following letter from The White House: This is in reply to your letter of March second, inviting the President to write a statement for use in the I960 Agawasie. 1 regret that it is not possible for the President to accept the invitation. He adheres to a long standing policy of not writing any statements for school yearbooks. Ho receives a great many similar requests, and it would be impossible for him to attempt to comply with all of them. As the President has had to decline so many others, he could not. in fairness, make an exception in this instance. I know you will understand. The letter was signed by Ebon A. Ayers, Assistant Press Secretary. THE 1950 AGAWASIE PAGE 3 Governors Of Three States Join The Agawasie In Commendation To American Newspapers Because. In addition to the major portion of the enrollment of the State School of Science which comes from the home state of North Dakota, a large number of students come from nearby Minnesota and South Dakota each year, the governors of three states were invited to join the 1950 Agawasie in its tribute to the newspapers of America. In answer to the request of Editor Mike Schaff. Governors Fred G. Aandahl. George T. Mickelson and Luther W. Young-dahl of North Dakota. South Dakota and Minnesota respectively. sent their comments on the role played by newspapers in the development of America and their continuing role In the progress of our country. Governor Aandahl stressed the ever present desire of the American people for correct information, and how it falls to the nation’s press to fill this desire. Governor Mickelson pointed out that ‘’a free press is a fundamental part of the progress of our great nation and that real strength is found in our free and alert press. Governor Youngdahl made clear the point that America must be kept aware that a free press is a vital part of our way of life. The complete comments of the three chief executives follow: _________________ I am pleased to know that the North Dakota School of Science has seen it to dedicate its campus yearbook for 1950 to the newspapers of America. In these cm-deal days when the lights of liberty are being extinguished in certain nations of the world it becomes more and more apparent that we must guard vigilantly the freedom of the press, if we hope to preserve our way of life. IVe have seen time and again that the newspapers are among the first to be controlled in sti ling of human liberty. IVe must never forget these examples of people who have not understood this and have paid dearly for their indifference. You will do much to help keep America aroused to the vital role of newspapers in a free nation through the tribute which you pay them in your publication. ☆ ☆ The American people are hungry for correct information. It is an appetite that can never be satiated, i'.ach new event and its association with other events of the past calls for more information. The press of the nation is one of the strong units that bring information to the people. Under American standards it has been kept free and independent and permitted to perform its functions to the full capacity and ability of its staff. It has done a fine job and through its efforts our American democracy has been able to grow strong. An intelligent and well informed public make effective government by the people possible. Sincerely yours, Fred G. Aandahl (lover nor. State of iXorth Dakota ☆ ☆ ☆ .•I free press is a fundamental part of the progress of our great nation. It is through the newspapers and magazines of this country that the real strength of America’s rise to greatness has been brought to succeeding generations. Thus an ever growing group of responsible citizens have been inspired, both in peace and war to work in the cause of democracy. An alert press, free from governmental restrictions, must ever be a part of our great American system. Luther IV. Youngdahl Governor. State of Minnesota George T. Mickelson Governor, State of South Dakota N. D. Congressmen Join Governors in Salute to American Newspapers North Dakota's four congressional representatives in the nation’s capital responded to editor Mike Schaff's request for comments on the role of the American newspaper in the development of our country. Senator William Danger expressed the debt of gratitude the nation owes its newspapers for their efforts in keeping the principles of unbiased information available to all concerned. Senator Milton II. Young point-oil out that, like many other institutions in America, wc have come to look on our newspaper as a part of our way of life without fully realizing their importance and contributions. Representative Usher L. Burdick set forth the fact that since the earliest time the communication of information and ideas has gone hand-in-hand with man’s progress. Representative William Lcmke added his voice to the Agawasie’s salute to the nation’s newspapers, pointing out that wc must never surrender the right to say what wc think.” The full statements of the four congressmen: ☆ ☆ ☆ One of the greatest heritages that our forefathers left to this .Xation was our inalienable right of freedom of speech. 1 is so of ten forgotten just how privileged we are, and how peoples all over the world envy us because wc can listen to the radio and read the newspapers ivith the assurance that what we hear and read has not been dictated by our government, but rather is the word of the people.

At a meeting of the National Editorial Association in Chicago not long ago. he was singled out as one of the men who has led in the development of that organization and in the promotion of high standards for the nation’s small town papers. This spring he added to his growing list of honors when he was elected state president of Sigma Delta Chi. national honorary journalism fraternity. He is also a past-president of the North Dakota Press Association. In a special article prepared for the I960 Agawasie. he has pointed out the important role of the Grass Roots Press in the development of America.

And such a newspaper is part and parcel of the people whom it serves. Such newspapers h a v e helped and are helping to build the towns and teeming cities, the lovely farms and contented villages that make America a land of happy homes. E. Donald Lum Minneapolis Tribune's John Cowles Stresses Duty of Newspapers Newspapers ought ... to serve the highest common denominator of their readers' interest and constantly endeavor to raise that denominator.” Those are the comments of John Cowles, president of the Minneapolis Star and Tribune. in a letter to the 1950 Agawasie. The papers published by the Cowles tamily in Minneapolis have long been recognized throughout the country as fine examples of newspaper leadership. Their service to the Upper Midwest area in which we live has likewise been widely recognized for years. Mr. Cowles full comments: Newspapers perform an essential role in a democracy. They have an obligation to try to make important news interesting so that a larger proportion of the people will read it and become better informed. They have an obligation to try to guide public opinion on their editorial pages so that their readers will come to have sounder judgment on the political and economic and social problems confronting the country. Newspapers ought also to try to serve the highest common denominator of their readers' interest and constantly endeavor to raise that denominator. It goes without saying that newspapers have an obligation to print the news, all of it. as honestly and fairly and impartially as they can. If newspapers try to do all these things, they are helping build a stronger United States. Sincerely. John Cowles ☆ ☆ One of the most widely respected newspaper editors of America is the New York Herald Tribune’s Whitclaw Reid. In a letter to the 1950 Agawasie he set forth an interesting digest of the role of American newspapers in the development of our country. Newspapers are a fundamental part of .-I m e r i c a n democracy. Without them people could be informed on neither candidates for office nor issues on which the health and life of the country depend. In my judgment newspapers serve the processes of government as yeast in bread. They help to briny alive the aspirations of our people; subsequently they are a force in seeing that these aspirations are enacted in legislation and that the taws of the land are administered in accordance with the nation's best interests.

Lw - • ‘ - � - Ik . • THE 19S0 AGAWASIE PAGE S New York Editor Cites Serious Newspaper's Importance in America The serious newspaper—the one that seeks to inform its readers rather than solely to entertain them—is an essential adjunct to our democratic system. Those comments by Arthur Hays Sulzberger. publisher of the AVie York Timex, In a letter to the 1950 Ago-(Mtfe. not only point out an important phase of the newspaper's role in America, but describe the AYii’ York Times, itself. No newspaper in the world rivals the famed Times for complete reporting of the news. Its far-flung system of correspondents throughout the world provides it with top-notch coverage of the news. It is a newspaper of distinction. and although it is not the most widely circulated of the American newspapers, it is probably known and respected in more places and by more people than any of its contemporaries. Mr. Sulzberger's full comments on the role of the American newspaper in the development of our country: .-Is people mature, they have the choice of being followers or being leaders, tf they choose the former role, chance alone determines what leader they will follow. It may be a Stalin, a Teron. or a Franco. If. on the other hand, they choose to be leaders, then they must be informed for only an informed electorate can make wise judgments. The serious newspaper—the one that seeks to inform its readers rather than solely to entertain them—is an essential adjunct to our democratic system. Without these serious newspapers, without readers who hare the intelligence to comprehend them, democracy as we know it is doomed. That's why think newspapers are important. ☆ ☆ I • � ; . n r jc ... � � � | W.N-M ..... !• - • i MU in’ -m� u m i ir—l - M kl •IsXtH '« « « m mutliuis I � • • L .. v ■ vu. ] Mt I OK . vr “A'fiWSPAPERS — KEY TO AMERICAN FREEDOM ☆ ☆ i . ☆ North Dakota Congressmen Praise Press For Freedom Protection Role Continued from page 3 From earliest recorded limes, since man first began to scribble on care walls, the communication of information and ideas has gone hand-in-hand with man's progress. After the invention of the printing press, it is not entirely coincidental that man began to advance himself more rapidly through the more efficient interchange of progressive ideas. Newspapers, from the very beginning. have been much maligned by governments. Some newspapers, indeed, by their irresponsible tactics. have deserved criticism. The lighting editors of the early newspapers of this country did much to promote and encourage the formation of a new empire in the North American wilderness, and the early settlement of lands that were to become what we now know as the United States. One well-known chain of newspapers has a slogan, dive light and the people will find their own way. It is significant that newspapers in some countries of the world today, under iron government control and censorship, are unable to give that light, and so it is not without cause that the people of some of those countries are having trouble finding their own way. The responsibilities of a free and unfettered press are great in a liberty-loving country. It is to be hoped that the American press will continue in the great traditions it began to establish during revolutionary times. Sincerely yours. I'sher L. Burdick There are many institutions in this country which we have come to look on as a pari of our way of life without fully realising their importance and contributions. For example, our newspapers fall in that category, and even though they have effectively disseminated truth and knowledge for years, we oftentimes overlook this singular contribution. It should always be remembered that an enlightened electorate is democracy’s strongest hope. In that great challenge, the newspapers of America have had a leading part, and for that reason freedom of the press” and all that goes with it should be preserved and strengthened. Sincerely yours. Milton II. Young ☆ ☆ Freedom is not always free. Even when once acquired it must be guarded by vigilance and some personal sacrifice. The freedom that we acquired when we threw off the British yoke is still ours because it was guarded by freedom of speech and defended by a free press. That freedom is threatened today by governmental bureaucracy. If we are to continue freedom of speech, then we must never surrender the right to say what we think. If the free press is to continue. then it must not permit its policies to be dictated by governmental agencies nor by advertisements. The individual must never permit his lips to he sealed, nor must the press surrender its independence. Sincerely yours. William Lemke PAGE 6 THE 1950 AGAWASIE Magazine Editors Praise Newspapers; Point To Importance Of Free Press In This Country Probably no one commercial item has become a more established tradition in the United States than a publication founded in 1728 by Benjamin Franklin. Throughout the world the Saturday Evening East has long been recognized as an important part of America. Being editor of this American tradition , Ben Hibbs is in an excellent vantage point from which to survey the importance of the American newspaper in the development of our country. He has set forth his views on the subject in this comment for the 1950 .1 gaicasic: the importance of a tree press is so obvious, and lias been so widely recognized tor so many years, that anyone who sets out to pay his respects to America's newspapers is almost certain to end by offering a tribute that has been offered before. Consider, for example, the press as the great protector of people’s liberties. The events of recent history have clearly shown that the first step a Mussolini, a Hitler or a Stalin must take is lo throttle the people's newspapers. Their dread of a free press is. it seems to me. as fine a tribute as can be paid. Hut this tribute, too. has been offered before. It was offered by a man ivho spoke from experience and who phrased his tribute thus: “Tour hostile newspapers.” said Napoleon Itonapurte. “are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.'' lien Hibbs. Editor The Saturday Evening Tost V V i? One of the leading American magazines to develop during the lifetime of the average student of the Class of 1950 at the North Dakota State School of Science is Look. The picture magazine capitalized on America's growing acceptance of the old proverb. A picture is worth 1.000 words. Growing tip along with the members of the Class of 1950, Look is now read by approximately 20.000. 000 Americans every other week. Published in Des Moines, Iowa. Look has utilized some of the down to earth living that is I ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ typical of the Midwest in the development of its successful format. That same formula has been applied to other publications of the Cowles family such as The Minneapolis Star Tribune and The Des Moines Register-Tribune: and more recently, to Quick. Not only as publisher of the succesful Look magazine, but as a newspaperman, himself. Gardner Cowles is qualified to speak on behalf of the American press. In commenting on the role of newspapers in the development of America, he prepared the following statement for the 1950 Agawasie: Freedom is never won permanently. It must be worked for constantly. In this country a free and enlightened press has been one of the most powerful agents in working to preserve that freedom. It is no accident that in a dictatorship, the bulwark of a free press is one of the first things to be destroyed. This country owes an overwhelming debt to its newspapers with their great traditions of independence and courage. It should be clear to all by now that the preservation of democracy, and perhaps of civilization as ice know it, depends on an unfettered and responsible press. (lardner Cowles. Editor Look Magazine 1 THE 1950 AGAWASIE PAGE 7 Trade Press Speaks Up For Country's Papers Although somewhat of an unknown quantity to the average layman, the publishing trade press has played an important part in the development of American newspapers, and consequently has been an important factor in the development of America. Probably no one group of individuals can speak with more authority on the subject of the American newspaper than the editors and publishers of such magazines ns Advertising Age. Editor and Publisher, Printers’ Ink and The Publishers’ Auxiliary. The editors of these four trade magazines in the publishing field prepared special comments on the role of the American newspapers for the 1951) Agaieasie. G. D. Crain. Jr., publisher of Advertising Age. stated that newspapers might be called the indispensable media of communication. Robert U. Brown, editor of Editor and Publisher, pointed out that the daily and weekly newspapers of the United States are the guardians of all our freedoms and the cornerstone of our democracy.” C. B. Larrabee. president and publisher of Printers’ Ink. commented: “Too often we overlook the great importance of the newspaper as a steady purveyor of information about the vast number of products and services that con-tibutc to increasing the American standard of living. George H. Bechtel, editor of The Publisher’ Auxiliary, stressed the importance of the weekly newspaper in America, or the so-called grassroots press, and pointed out that everyone knows America progresses from the grassroots Newspapers might be called the indispensable media of communication. Issued daily, they provide the major means whereby the citizens of a great republic, responsible by their votes for governmental policy. may keep informed regarding events of local, state, national and international importance. The local newspaper informs and stimulates, helping to create public sentiment which will support improvements in government, administration of local vital services, schools, public health and hospital facilities, recreation, transportation. etc. Only through the local newspaper can the citizen and his family know what is happening of interest to themselves, their friends and their communities. The great expansion of newspaper circulations, now at an all-time high. h:rt taken place in an era when magazines were also growing in circulation, and radio listening and Ictviewing became almost universal. Yet the indispensable character of the services of daily newspapers brought them more readers, paging a higher price per copy for the service, than ever before in history. One of the great values of newspapers is their advertising. The needs of the household are met through information on store offerings. Home improvement and personal satisfactions are provided through the information furnished by advertisers in every field. Advertising research has translated this service into information which enables manufacturers and merchants to utilize newspaper space to the best advantage of all concerned, readers us well as advertisers. Along with the information and entertainment provided by newspapers has come a broadened social concept which has led nespapers into the forefront of those working for progress in every field affecting human happiness, safety and well-being. The support given by newspapers to every worthy cause, from the American lied Cross to the local community fund drives, is an essential part of their success. American would not be America without its newspapers. (',. I). Crain. Jr.. Tublishci Advertising Age The daily and weekly newspapers of the I'nited States operating under the free press guarantee in the Eirst Amendment to the Constitution arc the guardians of all our freedoms and the cornerstone of our democracy. Our newspapers are the auditors of government. If the people of the I'nited States ever lose the privilege of a free press, it will be the first step toward the sacrifice of all their freedoms. Because of the rapid system of communications, which the newspapers themselves have largely developed, the people of this country are informed instantly as to what is going on around the world an:l in their own country. Because of this speedy publishing service, also, our vast sales and distribution system works to best advantage in keeping our tremendous production machine going at lull capacity and providing the jobs for America’s millions. Robert V. Brown. Editor Editor and Publisher ☆ ix .•is a continual carrier of news a';oul events and products, the newspaper is one of the great uniting forces of our nation. H e all recognize the great value of newspapers as a source of information about events in the overlook the great importance of the newspaper as a steady purveyor of information about the vast number of products and services that contribute to increasing the American standard of living. Without this service from our newspapers, our country doutless would not have attained its present standards as quickly or as easily. C. B. Larrabee, Publisher Printers’ Ink There arc many segments to newspapering in America today. All arc important but there is none so close to the soul of this nation than the so-called grassroots press. Any comment about the newspapers’ contribution to the progress and up-building of America must include a salute to the nonmetropolitan editor. Frequently he is the entire staff, working alone. Sometimes lie needs a force of several people. In any case, his eternal interest is the prosperity and success of his community—and everyone knows Arnica progresses from the grassroots up. (ieorge II. Bechtel. Editor The Publishers’ Auxiliary PAGE 8 THE 1950 AGAWASIE Two Chicago Publishers Add Voice to Agawasie Salute to Newspapers One of the loading newspaper publishers in the United States is John S. Knight. His newspaper empire spreads throughout the country and includes the Chicago Daily New , the Detroit Free Cress and the Miami Herald. In a letter to the 1950 Agawasie, Mr. Knight points out that Journalism as it is practiced in the United States is far from perfect. But it is a vital press, a courageous press and I believe a responsible press. In my opinion, the press alone, and by the press mean all printed media, can and does resist the growing enroachments of govern-meat upon individual rights. Your daily newspaper not only mirrors the news of the world but strives to stimulate public thinking on the questions which affect our daily lives. It is a free press in the best sense ol the word. A o censors hover over American editorial desks as they do in nearly every other country in the world. Even in the nations of Western Europe censorship is very much alive. Journalism as it is practiced in the United States is far from perfect. Hut it is a vital press, a courageous press and believe a responsible press. Disagree with it if you will, indict it for its sins but never let its voice he stilled, for on the day it comes under government control. your liberties and freedom U'ill perish forever. Sincerely. John S. Knight ☆ ☆ Answering the 1950 Agauasie's request for comments on the role of American newspapers in the development of America. Colonel Robert R. McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, sent the staff a book entitled What Is A Newspaper?” It contained a talk the Chicago publisher delivered before the Chicago Church Federation in 1921. Although the book contained much valuable information delining the role of American newspapers. space limitations prevent publication of much of its contents. It does, however, contain one of the most adequate short definitions of a newspaper that the staff could find, and that definition provides an excellent commentary on the role of American newspapers. It reads: (See next column) •A- ☆ ☆ The newspaper is an institution developed by modern civilisation to present the news of the day. to foster commerce and industry through widely circulated advertisements. and to furnish that check upon government which no constitution has ever been able to provide. Business Editor Grimes Cites Local Importance In answer to the 1950 A ga was- te’s request for comments on the role of the American newspaper in development of our country, William H. Grimes sent editor Mike Schaff a copy of a speech he delivered at Greencastle. Ind.. on April 7. Grimes is editor of the 11 all Street Journal, the country's leading business newspaper. In the speech, which was delivered at DePauw University under the sponsorship of the Kenneth C. Hogate Foundation and the DePauw chapter of Sigma Delta Chi. national professional journalism soccicty. Mr. Grimes pointed out one particular fact that is well to include in this dedication section. He said: The function of a newspaper is to give information. It deals also in entertainment, opinion and controversy among other things. Hut I think it is a rule without important exception that a newspaper exists in a given locality and lias a first duty to give the news of that locality. In Greencastle. Indiana.

Fenske was elected to the student cabinet presidency in an allschool election held October 19. He edged out Art Busch, second year chemical engineer from Berlin, by a narrow seven vote margin. Five votes behind was Homer Brunsvold. second year drafter ana esti-mntcr from Alexander. Other cabinet members eligible for the presidency were Doris Broadland, second year business school student from Breckenridgc. and Jim Hansmann, second year printer from Moorhead. All of the cabinet members except Brunsvold had been elected in spring balloting during the 1918 and 19 school year. Brunsvold was elected as a second trades school representative, under provisions of the student cabinet constitution, in October. He beat out Wilbur Whitaker, second year refrigeration student from Dunn Center by a 62-35 margin. The cabinet gained a sixth member in November when Gordon Brown of York was elected to represent the long winter term students.

Sports, society and feature news of the fall and winter terms will be found in special sections of the 1950 Agatcasie. Enrollment at SSS for the 1919-50 school year was both higher and lower than the year previous —depending on how you look at it. Fall term enrollment dropped from the 1918 670 to 582 but the rcinsti-tution of the long winter term for the first time since pre-war days saw enrollment boom during December. By the time all long winter term classes were in session, total enrollment for the year had jumped to 765. with another 25 added for the special three-month plumbing course starting January 9. Spring term enrollment sent the spiral downward again as the long winter term courses drew to a close and a number of students signed up for employment. 550 registered for spring term classes. The trades school showed the largest enrollment. Altogether 623 took trades courses at SSS during the school year. This included: 55 in auto body repair 96 in auto mechanics 30 in aviation 29 in drafting and estimating 113 in electrical trades 72 in general mechanics 11 in home economics 31 in heating, ventilating and sheet metal 1949-50 ENROLLMENT Coniinuod to pago 8 PAGE 2 THE 1950 AGAWASIE Bill Merrymon Wins Top Honors At Campus Talent Show In Hub Bill Merrymon Rot an honor winning .season off to a good start in November by walking off with first place in a talent show sponsored by the Campus Hub and directed by Bov Cruse.

Officials Of Southern Trades School Praise SSS Training Program Two officials of the T. H. Harris Trade School of Opelousas, La., were fall visitors on the State School of Science campus. They spent considerable time inspecting school facilities. The pair were Glenn Mnrdere. director of the school, and Dr. A. J. Perrault. chairman of the school board of directors. In a report on their trip, the southerners said: On our visit through the North Dakota State School of Science we saw well equipped shops, all properly managed and maintained. Students appeared to be serious minded and business-like in their attitude towards their work. The school's authorities seem to be especially successful in presenting the theoretical or related phase of training along with the practical. They are conducting one of the very best training programs we have ever had the pleasure of observing. and wc congratulate them on the services they arc rendering to their state.” Gaylord Olson Homecoming Bossman ☆ ☆ ☆ Gaylord Olson Gets Credit For Success Of 1949 Homecoming To give credit where credit was due, the student cabinet prepared a special commendation for student leaders who were responsible for the success of the 1919 homecoming. The resolution, which received unanimous approval of the cabinet at its first meeting following homecoming, reads: The Student Cabinet, in behalf of the student body of the State School of Science, wishes to extend its sincere congratulations to all of the students who were members of committees working on the 1919 Homecoming celebration. General opinion was that the 1919 Homecoming was far superior to simi-liar events in past years. The cabinet particularly wishes to commend Robert Anderson, chairman of the parade committee, where many hours of work resulted in by far the best Homecoming parade ever held. His work in promoting the many entries, organizing the parade and seeing it to a most successful conclusion was the high point of the entire Homecoming. Gaylord Olson. the student Homecoming chairman, can well be proud of the event he managed. His constant willingness to go beyond the necessary requirements of the job and provide many extras resulted in the huge success which the 1919 Homecoming turned out to be. Assemblies Special Features Of Annual Homecoming Activities Two assemblies were special added features of the 1919 homecoming week. The first was presented by DeWilo and his Concertina Grande; the second featured Wheeler's Mellow Marimbas. DeWilo Semcrau gave students an opportunity to hear his unusual instrument, the Concertina Grande. The only one of Us kind in the world, it was built especially for the artist by Glass Brothers, famous Chicago organ manufacturers. The unusual instrument weighs •10 pounds and is played in much the same manner as an accordian. Mr. Semerau holds seven patents on the Concertina Grande, which was built at a cost of over $2,000. Also featured on the program were some on-the-spot recordings. The second program of the week brought Wheeler's Mellow Marimbas from California. The trio of marimba playing artists presented a diversified musical program. Included in the presentation were numbers all of the way from modern jazz to light classical compositions. Especially popular were a group of Latin’ American selections. An added feature of the program was the appearance of the Wheelers' young (laughter. Juggling Featured In Unusual Assembly By Showman George DeMott An unusual assembly was enjoyed by the SSS students on Tuesday. December 16. when George DeMott. skilled juggler, kept the audience on the edge of their seats as he juggled practically everything in sight. Mr. DeSlott began the program by juggling tennis rackets, balls, then advanced to the difficult task of balancing a lighted kerosene lamp on a pole. Straw hats, plates, bowling pins, and more balls were deftly handled by the nationally known artist. Juggling four clubs. Mr. DeMott concluded his program by keeping time to a march he was whistling, the whole effect resembling that of a fife and drum corps. Wahpcton merchants w crc guests of SSS at a November party in the Campus Hub. About 150 members of the Wahpcton Chamber of Commerce were present at the meeting. Special entertainment was furnished bv a group of SSS students. THE 1950 AGAWASIE PAGE 3 Coal Shortage Felt At Science When Regular Shipments Are Delayed Fingers wore kept crossed during the winter months for fear that the school’s coal supplies would give out completely. At one time in January, the reserve supply had dwindled to a two day's supply. Several sources were able to lend part of their supply to the school to keep the central heating plant in operation until delayed shipments were received. The root of the trouble was a ten carload emergency stockpile which was delivered in the fall. Unseasonal December rains soaked the pile and the following freeze made the stock pile like rock and it couldn't be used in school boil- ers. The delay in regular shipments was caused by a series of railway delays. “And In This Corner Full House For Golden Cloves Tourney On Sports Front A resolution was passed by the student body in March to change the student cabinet constitution to allow for election of cabinet members for the coming year in April instead of May. Upsets Highlight Cage, Gridiron Season; Boxers Show Good Form Sixteen representatives of state REA cooperatives attended a special one-week meter school at SSS in February. Jim Wright. SSS electrical instructor, was in charge of the class. Upsets were the big news during both the basketball and football seasons of 1019-1950. Coach Earl “Skip Bute’s gridders set the pattern on Armistice Day by knocking highly touted Minot Teachers out of a tie for the NDIC Lila Jean Lucas Heads Active Girls' Sacajawea Club At Science Campus girls found plenty of social activity during the 19-19-50 school year through the Sacajawea Club (named for the famous Indian woman who guided the Lewis Clark expedition). President of the club was Lila Jean Lucas, second year junior college student from Wahpeton. Lila, whose talents as a musician were put to good use as accompanist for many campus vocal groups, was assisted by vice president Pat Roth. Sacajawea cabinet members were June Trovatten. Shirley Wa-cha. Marguerite Vandal. Ila Lang-seth, Athea Skovholt and Joan Haber man. Top event of the year for club members was a formal dance held February 11. Joan Habcrman was general chairman. Lila Jean Lucas Active Leader and Musician title with a 20-13 victory. Coach Ed Werrc’s cagers took a cue from the gridiron boys and added a bright note to an otherwise so-so season by handing the Valley City Vikings their only conference defeat by outplaying them 71-65. Injuries played a big role in both the football and basketball seasons. The Wildcats ended up their conference schedule in football with a 3-3 record, while the basketball quint found themselves with a 5-7 NDIC record at the end of the season. Meanwhile, individual Wildcat stars placed high on several all-star teams. In football four Cat-gridders won all-conference honors. They were Captain Dean Knapp. Cliff Hermes. Tex Kickcrl and John Drury. Drury and Rick-ert also were named to the Fargo Forum's all-state team. The state basketball limelight fell on Captain Alf Dighans. G'5 Wildcat center. Dighans won both all-conference and all-state honors. In boxing. Coach George Brae-kin's lighters stood out in the annual regional Golden Gloves tournament in addition to a successful inter-collegiate season. Two SSS boxers won regional Golden Gloves titles. Teddy Carr came out on top in the welterweight class, while Jack Brooks won the featherweight title. Details in sports section. PAGE 4 THE 1950 AGAWASIE SSS Instructors Invent Flo-Trol Safety Device For Light Planes The State School of Science found itself in the aviation limelight early last fall when the CAA approved a safety device invented by Art Sampson, head of the SSS aviation department, and Merle Ralston, who took over duties in the machine shop when John Ness was taken ill. The new device has been described by aviators as the most important contribution to small plane safety in the past 15 years.” The invention of the device, now known as Flo-Trol Splates, was the result of a mutual love for aerial fox hunting by Sampson and Ralston. They wanted a light plane with more maneuverability. To get it they cut the outer 14 inches off each wing tip of a Piper Cub and then added a pair of vertical panels extending as much as 2li inches above and below the top and bottom of each end of the wing. The panel, which is a fraction of an inch thick, tapers to the rear, coming to a point just beyond the rear end of the wing itself. The advantages of the new device are that it gives higher all-around performance to small planes including shorter takeoff, faster climbing, higher cruising speed, slower landing speed, shorter landing run and an ability to maneuver at slow speeds with safety. ☆ ☆ ☆ One of the most active students on campus during the 1919-50 school year was Jim Hansmann. Jim, editor of the Dakota Scientist for the first half of the school year, was a letterman in football, basketball and baseball. A second-year printing student. Jim was a trades school representative on the student cabinet and instrumental in organization of several campus activities. Death Claims Veteran Instructor John Ness The SSS campus was saddened in March by the death of John M. .Xcss. notable alumnus and Celeron instructor, f is death was caused by a recurrence of a heart attack, after he had been ailing since October. John iXess first came to SSS as a student in I90S. at the same time serving as instructor in a forge shop. In 1925 he became director of the trades school machine shop—a position he held until his death. Details in spring supplement. The mixed Chorus under Miss Esther Schulz's direction entertained vacation bound SSS'ers at a Christmas assembly on Wednesday. December 15.

It is the 1950-51 SSS college catalog. The now edition of the catalog had many radical departures from the usual college bulletin. Particularly unusual was the use of several different colors to designate different sections of the catalog. The general information section of the catalog was printed on the traditional white paper, but the three sections containing information about the three divisions of the school were each printed on a different color. The business school section was on yellow, the junior college on green and the trades school on orange. A special insert printed on light blue cardboard contained answers to questions most frequently asked by prospective students. Other changes over previous SSS catalogs include two 16-page picture sections, a two color picture cover, a completely revised introductory section and many other changes. The catalog was under the direction of the public relations office and was produced entirely in the trades school printing department. Three Students Get Special Awards For Classroom Activities Special scholarship awards were made during the 1919-50 school year to three junior college students. First award went to Teddy Erickson. first year collegian from Lowry, Minn. He received a copy of the Handbook of Physics and Chemistry awarded by the Cleveland Chemical Rubber Co. Erickson’s award was based on his chemistry grade for the first half of the school year. It was the highest in the two freshman chemistry classes. Two other students received 12 world globes presented by Time magazine for highest marks in Time Current Events tests. Robert Zimmerman of Wahpe-ton received the high mark among those taking the test in economics classes. Wilfred Wchlandcr of DeLamere was highest among those taking the test in American Government class. Walter A. Currie 1891-1010 One of the SSS greats ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Instructor Walter A. Currie Dies Of Heart Attack At Football Game The little guy with the booming voice; the original printer’s devil . one of the great of the State School of Science, is dead. Walter A. Currie, 55. SSS linotype instructor since 1929, died of a heart attack while cheering the Wildcat football team in a game September 23. The 1019 Agaivasie was dedicated to Mr. Currie. The following tribute appeared on the dedication page: For the past twenty years. W. A. Currie has taught linotype and journalism at the State School of Science. Previously he had several years of trade experience in printing and linotype, and he had taught at Dunwoody Institute, Minneapolis. Because he is so expert as craftsman, able and inspiring as instructor, devoted to the welfare of his students not only when they are in his classes but also during their later working years, we rate him as a practically perfect teacher.

Homecoming, Fall Term Highlight, Judged As Best In SSS History Highlight of the fall term of the 19-19-50 school year at SSS was the homecoming which was described by those taking part in the activities as the best ever.” Student chairman of the event was Gaylord Olson, whose personal supervision of nearly every phase of the outstanding event gave the 1919 homecoming the degree of success it attained. Faculty chairman was Dick Hodgson. The student wives club walked off with top honors in the float competition. They were awarded a trophy by the Wahpeton Chamber of Commerce. Science Cats whirled through two rousing days of homecoming October 14 and 15 as they pep rallied. paraded, sponsored an alumni luncheon, got trimmed by the Jimmies and capped it all with a dance. Friday night’s pep rally took the spotlight as Bill Gilles and Emily Jonas crowned their successors King Dean Knapp and Queen Sonia Friestad. attended by pretty princesses Joyce Larson and Shirley Wacha. Then George Snustad's German band, the E Quad S quartet. Cliff Johnson and his guitar took over with able emcee Clayton Kulseth at the helm. Bev Cruse brought down the house and Wally Borscheim as she and her trusty shotgun proved You Can't Get A Man With A Gun. The pep for the rally was served up by yell masters Cliff Urseth, Norinc Stanbra. Joe DeMosy. and Nayda Rapp backed up by the band under the direction of Ray Chcrmak. Saturday morning twenty-eight wind-whipped floats drifted down Dakota Avenue to Breckenridge with the Wahpeton and Breckenridge high school bands tempo-tapping the SSS group. Eighty-five alumni registered at the noon luncheon as the Alumni Association met to elect Mrs. Gordon Patterson as this year's proxy. At half-time of the Science-Jamestown tilt, in which the Bute-men came up on the short end of a 29-6 score, majorette Jo Lauder proved her skill with baton, as Art Sampson swooped above the airfield i n his n e w 1 y-equipped plane. Festoons of autumn leaves and gay streamers decked the crowded floor as dancers swayed to the rhythms of Don Strickland's orchestra during the waning moments of the Homecoming 1949.

The new constitution involves many changes, including: ■ Extending regular membership to include all persons who have attended SSS a minimum of three full quarters (in addition to graduates.) ■ Opening associate membership to all persons who have attended SSS a minimum of one full quarter and past and present faculty and administrative officers. ■ Combining the office of secretary-treasurer with that of Director of Alumni Relations. ■ Establishing a six-man board of directors composed of the officers and three additional directors to guide the association. ■ Setting dues at one dollar per year. Other business included the election of officers. Mrs. Gordon Patterson was elected president; Mrs. Bernard Ratzlaff, vice-president: Dick Hodgson, secretary-treasur- er; and Charles Brockmeycr and George Reeder, directors. The retiring president. Carol Anderson, will serve as the sixth director. During the year membership in the alumni association reached an all-time high. Special committees arc at work preparing special projects for the association for the future. 1949-50 Enrollment Continued from page 1 23 in plumbing -IS in printing and linotype 30 in radio trades •15 in refrigeration 5 in special trades courses The business school drew a total of 79 students, while the junior college had 88. Although the number of students attending under the G. I. Bill of Rights dropped to 273 for the school year, this level was expected to be maintained for the next two years since veterans must begin their training before July 26. 1951 to be eligible for the college provisions of that law.

As a program for the year, the cabinet undertook the development of more on-campus activities for students. Its two major efforts were promotion of Coke dances in the Campus Hub throughout the year and a student carnival, reinstituted for the first time in many years. The student cabinet is responsible for the direction of all student social activities and plays a large part in management of student extra-curricular activities. Among its many duties, the cabinet names the editors for the Dakota Scientist and Agatoasie. Student committics for various activities are appointed by the cabinet, which also takes an active part in the management of many of these affairs. Art Busch, for instance, was responsible for procur-ment of bands for school dances. The activities of the cabinet are governed by a constitution which is frequently revised to take care of existing conditions. John Bubber Drury Wins Campus Card Title At SSS Party Something new was added to the campus activity picture this year as the students voted (by contributions to the March of Dimes) for the Campus Card. To most everyone the outcome was obvious before the balloting even started— long before, John Bubber Drury had established himself as king of this hill.

By the time the day was over more than 1.200 visitors had been shown through the school. So successful was the open house that Industrial Marketing. national trade magazine, devoted two pages to telling its readers all about it. Under the general direction of G. W. Haverty, director of the SSS trades school, both a faculty and student committee worked for several weeks lining up the big event. Jim Griffin was chairman of the student committee. Visitors were given a general word picture of the school when they registered at the SSS gymnasium. Then student guides took groups of about 20 visitors on a two-hour tour of school facilities. A light lunch was served at the Hub at the end of the tour. Class and shop schedules were rearranged for the day so that all school facilities were in operation during the afternoon and evening. The fellows doing the guiding were Jim Griffin, Wesley Nelson and Mike Schaff of the drafting department: Norman Starr, Bob Johnson and Gus Lillibridgc of auto body: Lewis Brady.

The now seal was the result of several months of planning. Originally suggested by Public 1 tola-lions Director Dick Hodgson, the idea was put into the hand3 of the Greene Engraving Co. of St. Paul. Several artists worked on the project. but the complex nature of ihe school made the job difficult. After more than a score of designs were rejected. Don Carlson, head of Greene's art department, set to work on the project. Working with Carroll Brown, head of the engraving company, and Mr. Hodgson, he sifted through the various designs that had been presented. It was finally decided that the main element of the seal should be a hand to illustrate the learning by doing” phase of training at SSS. It was also felt that something in the seal should illustrate the three divisions of the school. Setting to work at his drawing board. Carlson came up with the idea that was finally adopted—a hand holding a cog wheel, representing the trades school division, and an open book to represent the Sc junior college and business school divisions. The design was set into a free art form to give the feeling of motion, which was felt to be an important part of the spirit of the school and illustrative of the training for specific jobs at SSS. Carlson's final drawing was readily adopted by the school officials and quickly nut to use in the nameplate of the Dakota Scientist. Since that time it has been used in all school printed matter. It is the basis for the cover design of the 9J0 Agawasie. which was designed by artists at the North American Press of Milwaukee. i uns Observe Business School Donna Hendrickson and Open House Visitors Print shop (lets Inspection Townspeople Watch Press In Operation PAGE 10 THE 1950 AGAWASIE Weekly Program Series Presented Over KBMW By New Broadcast Club Campus extra-curricular activities were increased by one during the 1919-50 school year with the organization of the Broadcast Club—a group of students who test their radio talents by writing. producing and announcing a v eeldy 20-minute radio program. Organized in the fall under Dick Hodgson, faculty member and former radio announcer, the club became one of the most active campus organ izations. Making the addition of the new activity possible was the cooperation of the Wahpeton-Brcckcn-rldgc radio station, KBMW which made time and equipment available for all broadcasts. Featured on the regular Wah-peton Science On The Air” programs was a variety of SSS talent including the broadcast band under the direction of Ray Cherniak and the mixed chorus under the direction of Esther Schulz. Many smaller vocal and instrumental groups were featured on the broadcasts. Other students participated through interviews and special programs. Fall programs were conducted by Mr. Hodgson, Gerry Estcrby and Clayton Kulseth, with radio instructor. Charles Brockmeyer. who holds the distinction of putting the first KBMW program on the air when the station opened In 19-18. at the controls. After the club was organized. James Pithey took over the engineering duties. As officers of the club were elected, Pithey was named chief engineer. Other club officers received titles and duties that differed greatly from those of other clubs. Heading the group was program director Clayton kulseth. who. with Mr. Hodgson, coordinated broadcast activities. In charge of script preparation was Patricia McCarty, continuity director. Music director Joanna Lauder was responsible for music on the program: Gene Anderson was chief of announcers, and Lois Freese got the only common title of secretary.

THE 1950 AGAWASIE Musical Groups Feature Variety Of Entertainment Throughout Year By lev Ewatd Campus talent abounded aplenty as the stately Old Main rang out with echoes of soloists, orchestras, and tap-dancing trios. Let's begin with Bill Mcrrymon. of Williston who invaded Science to swoon ferns with “Temptation ' and Blue Moon . Bill added laurels to his crown in November when he won the WDAY talent contest. Bill's singing has been city-wide and he is a favorite among KBMW listeners as he appears on the Wildcat Parade . Cliff Johnson, the blond fellow from Electrical II. is known as the great guitarist on campus. He appeared at Homecoming Pep Hally and is currently one of the noted Rhythm Rascals . Then there's that sigh-guy from DeLamero way. Willie The Crooner Wchlandcr, who puts heart and soul into his soothing, syncopated songs. Result—he's giving Sinatra the runaround. Nine Science lovelies have combined their voices to earn bouquets on campus too. Pat Roth. Ila Langscth, Jo Lauder. Sylvia Was-dahl. Beverly Funfar, Doris Sund-by. Dorothy Schneider. Lois Freese, and Mary Ann Fisher polished off songs such as Dancing In The Dark”, which they presented at the Sacajawea Club Formal. Teas and school assemblies. Quartets—yes. we aren't forgetting the fashionable Singing Dukes who won fame serenading around SSS — or was it always Center Cottage because they generally got food there? The Dukes originally listed Jerry Skyrud, Homer Brunsvold. Willie Wehlan-der. and Wally Borscheim but some of the fellas were overcome by wanderlust so the Dukes wound up with Jay Spoonheim. Clayt Kul-seth. Homer, and Willie. These guys appeared at a Chamber of Commerce party at the Hub plus ventures out to Walcott and Dwight for PTA's— livening up floor shows at school parties — singing for LSA programs — wherever you went you'd hear dying echoes of Frivolous Sal or “ComHeld Melodies. Bev Cruse. Texas' dark-haired gift to Science, appeared on practically every program in town as she won popularity with her colorful song and dance numbers. Bev's a favorite with SSS’crs. Bob Lovell. Art Busch. Tom Kavanaugh. and Loren Strain merged into the Engineer's Quar- tet to perform at the Valley Theater Talent Parade among numerous campus programs. The quartet was featured in the Legion's It's a Date and have also sung for club meetings and PTA's in the city. The soprano songstress. Sylvia Wasdahl. has soloed her way into the soul of Science as she gives out with anything from “The Man I Ix ve” to I Cover the Waterfront at different social events. Chuck Flaa. Doris Sundby. Tom Kavanaugh. and Bob Gillcs are four other top SSS soloists who have won fame over Science broadcasts besides singing for social programs. Pat McCarty's rending The Waltz was a highlight of the Sacajawea formal program while the Wahponettes — Bev Funfar. Joan Jncobchick. and Jo Lauder—have won hearts and applause both with their singing and tap dancing. All in all, this has been one big year on our Science campus! Musical groups made a big hit at many campus events. The two top pictures show black-faced Bev Cruse doing her comedy dance and torch singer Sly via Wasdahl on stage during the winter carnival.

Jerry Skyrud and Wally Horsheim decided to leave the post in Kulseth’s capable hands. This harmonious foursome, ▲ the Engineers’ quartet, made. up of Hob Lovell, first tenor. Art Husch. second tenor, Loren Strain, first bass, and Tom Cavanaugh, have also added their voices to the long line of Science School talent. All these fellows are seniors at Science except Tom. whose place was originally filled by Joe Mayer. These groups have taken part in the Science Talent Parade, the School Carnival, and in many of the Science Broadcasts, as well as activities outside school u-hich call for numbers.

Last year a master plan was drawn up by Morrell Nichols. Inc.. Minneapolis site planning firm, to guide campus expansion in future years. It called for the new field house to be built just east of the main trades building. Contracts for the new athletic building were let in January after bids of fourteen firms were opened. Rool Construction Co. of Fargo was awarded the general contract for $176,993 and the Wahpcton Plumbing and Heating Co. was low bidder on the plumbing and heating job at $16,986. Plans for the new field house were drawn up by architect William Ktirke of Fargo. The building will seat 3,500 for boxing, 3.000 when used as an auditorium and over 2.200 for basketball. The new field house will be 110 feet wide and 160 feet long. In the gymnasium section of the building there will be a standard college basketball court. 50 x 90 feet. When not in use for regular games the gym can be converted into two playing courts for practice or Intramural games. Other facilities will include dressing rooms. ofTices. first aid facilities, lounges and practice rooms for boxing and minor sports. Next step in the campus improvement plan will probably be the building of a girls dormitory in another year. Also scheduled for early completion is a new central campus heating plant. During the summer of 1949 several campus improvements were completed. A new cottage for girls was built south of the boys' dorm. The Campus Hub was enlarged to provide facilities for music groups and broadcasts. New equipment was added to the physics lab to complete the reoutfitting of the science building. Housing units for married students were also improved. One major campus improvement project that is scheduled to be completed this summer is the modernization of Old Main. Last summer the project got underway with new glass block installed on the cast and north sides of the building.

This summer the project will continue until the building will be completely modernized. $35,000 was set aside by the state legislature for the project. Among other campus changes which arc included in the master plan are: ■ Moving the main entrance of the campus to the junction of Sixth street and Eighth avc. ■ Construction of two boulevards leading into the campus. One. lending from the proposed new campus entrance. would replace the present oval, while a second boulevard entering the campus off Fourth street will give the school a second ■■main entrance. ■ Concentration of all athletic facilities at the north end of the campus. ■ Provision for on-campus parking through the use of several convenient parking lots. ■ Eventual construction of a new student union building facing the Held house. With the building of the new field house, the present gymnasium is to be converted into a permanent auditorium and classroom building. Some changes will be made in the gymnasium this summer. but most changes will wait until the field house is ready for use. Jim Griffin Open House Student Boss Earl G.

Dec. 2. 19f9 A wee bit of brogue plus twinkling Irish eyes are roaming round the campus attached to Science's first international character of the year. John Joseph McCarthy. Just six months ago John left County Cork in south Ireland to visit his Dakota kin. Here he met Duffy, not a Duffy’s Tavern Duffy, but a Garageman-Duffy. who is also a son of St. Pat. Duffy must have known his engines for on his advice Mac came Science-ward to thinker with spark plugs in Auto Mechanics. Mac likes America and enjoys his work here. Says he.

Serving with Mr. Havcrty on this committee were Mr. Robertson. Mr. Horton. Mr. Ratzlaff. Miss Morris. Miss Fork-ner. Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Dahl-gren. Mr. Meycnberg of Ottertail Power also assisted by taking a complete check on lighting and power. In addition to the publicity received in Industrial .Marketing. newspapers and radio stations in this area carried full reports on the successful event. Glenn Flint. WDAY news editor, spent the day on the campus and made two special transcriptions which were used on WDAY newscasts later in the day. KBMW presented a special on-the-spot broadcast with Dick Hodgson interviewing several of the guests and guides.

THE 1950 AGAWASIE PAGE 17 Class of 19S0 Represents Return to Normal The Class of 1050 at the North Dakota State School of Science represents the return to normal” after a decade of unusual conditions. Although a large percentage of the class is composed of G. I. Dill students. ;iic general attitude in classes, the employment situation anti other factors are more like normal times. The graduation list contains some 241 names, but those that understand the unusual structure of tlie Jlate School of Science realize that that number far from represents the whole senior class. Many m c m bers graduated long before the end of the school year graduated to the jobs they came to SSS to train for. Some of this group will receive their diplomas in future years after they have proven themselves on the job. The Class of 1950 has seen many changes in the campus during its two years at SSS. The events of the 1919-50 school year are described in detail in this yearbook. Some of the events of the Class of 1950's first year: ■ The state legislature appropriated $802,950 for the biennial period 1919-51. including $285,000 for new buildings and changes in existing ones. ■ Coach Skip Bute’s grid Wildcats were undefeated in NDIC play, winning the conference championship along with Minot Teachers. ■ Emily Jonas of Grenora and Bill Gillcs of Wahpeton ruled as king and queen of the successful 1918 homecoming. ■ The spring formal utilized a Mardi Gras theme: was adjudged a huge success. ■ George Brackin, manager of the Hub and boarding department. resigned to go into business for himself; Ben Ratzlatf took over. Ed Wcrrc replaced Ray Bassett as basketball coach. Dick Hodgson was named Director of Public Relations. ■ Skip” Bute was honored at a testimonial banquet at Dickinson for his 25 years as head of the SSS athletic department. ■ The Engineers won the soft-ball title as the intramural league brought out fans by the droves for hotly contested games. ■ G. H. Mowers was named to head a safety and job training program for REA units in North Dakota. ■ President Riley realizes a lifelong ambition; directs WHS band at assembly. Message to Seniors A Year To Be Remembered This year's Agatvasie is a radical departure from the formal type of annual we have published in past years. I welcome the change. Several events have taken place during this school year that make it a year to be remembered. At last the construction work on the new Athletic Building has started and should be completed and ready for use by January 1, 1051. Most of our basketball games should be played in the new building. This new building is going to make a radical change in many of the school activities. The main fioor of the old gymnasium building will lx made over into an auditorium so that we will have a suitable place for asserb'y programs. All of the arrangements for a new Girls’ Dormitory arc about complete, and the contract for this building will be let sometime during 1950 to be ready for use for the fall term In September 1951. The now heating plant should be completed about the same time. All of these things will revolutionize the campus and activities so that students hero at the present time will hardly recognize the school as the same place.

There is a companionship formed which can only come from a dormitory or barracks. Not even the clubs or classrooms can do for a man what dorm life will. Living in such close contact with so many fellows teaches a respect for the rights of others. Things were just beginning to quiet down when the State Fire Marshall arrived for room inspection. Among the many extension cords and apparatus confiscated were coffee pots and hot piates used during the long hard winter to supplement the Burch Hall meals. The highlight of the fall term in Burch Hall, of course, was Lois Holden's famous raid. How do we know the fourth lloor residents didn't invite the rai ler8 up for a social gathering? Nobody is saying just how it happened, but word comes from the second lloor that the janitor used some strong adjectives when he discovered a fire extinguisher had been knocked off the wall and sprayed the lluid down two (lights of stairs. Burch Hall may not be another Waldorf-Astoria but it's fun living here!—Loren Strain. -db- In Burch Hall, famed abode of Science School men. cleanliness is slill next to Godliness as Ulus-trated hi drummer-boxer Vernie Thompson who is being heckled by Cliff (llomco) Ursvth. In between pillow lights, poker games, and parties, the fellows slill find time fot a little homework such as Loren Strain is doing as he is shown slat ing over a hot slide rule. Gordon Lcrfald, dean’s assistant and telephone answerman. is shown polishing up his shoalin' iron to use on himself if Uichard LaPoint e gets another telephone t call. ☆ ☆ ☆ ... and Extra Pounds, Too In the basement of Burch Hall is the school cafeteria, supervised by Hub Wheel Benny Ralzlaff. Sometimes referred to by dorm .esidents as “Ptomaine Tavern , it serves as many as 1050 meals a day. In spite of the complaints about the food, which can be attributed to the American love for expressing opinions whether honest or not. the meals arc nutritious. Tom Terry and his efficient helpers have a system for speed in serving which is unequalled. The students get their food cafeteria style, take it to a table, ami when they are finished, the tables are cleared with production line speed and efficiency -no waiting to get in and no tray lines to buck to get out. The well balanced meals provide the nutrition needed by the trade students, and the extra pounds which Skip Bute takes off again in his physical education classes. Even during Lenten fast days a good variety of foods are prepared -only one or two different main courses at a time, but the menu changes frequently. That hungry look in the picture to the right belongs to Bill Barlow, who has just filled his tray and is heading for a table so he can transfer the food from tray to mouth. THE 1950 AGAWASIE PAGE 25 Life at Cottage Court, Newest SSS Dorm, Unforgetable Experience'' Living: at Cottage court, like at other dorms, adds up to one unfor getablc experience, as the typical pictures here demonstrate. The place was inhabited in the beginning by 16 reins under the watchful eyes of Ma Aria Foster. Ma was regularly serenaded to sleep by roommate Carol Bronder. who used her beautiful monotone to vocalize � r. on Rock-a-by-Baby and The Go ls Are Angry With Me. If you listen .A to the lyrics (Carol knows the first ■ lines of most of her songs) you can sometimes figure out the title. The two gals reclining in the top picture. Nayda Rapp and Lois Holden, were two to leave early— as did Marcella Tunta. Donna Ros-sow and Gladle Hoerauf. Gladie was the defender in the Bronder-Trovatten rug war In the winter term. Speaking of Trovatten, that's long-legged June on the telephone —probably talking to Jud. Next to June is Joyce Larson, a cutie-pic who actually did study pretty regularly in company with her roommate Hazel Bolme. and another set of roommates. Marvis Stumpf and Delores Durner. In the lower right picture is Grenora's Emily Jonas al out to bop Jim Hansmann with the aid of Nayda Rapp. Last pictured is the sunny portal of Number I. through which the muddy feet of the courtites Rachel Rundle, Jeannette Oslund or Dorothy Schneider have often passed. Notice, too. the sparkly windows which are the special pride and joy of the janitor-brother Herbie Kothe. (Jake! He really washed them only at the point of a gun.) ■ PAGE 28 THE 1950 AGAWASIE Dakota Scientist Relays News to SSS Students ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ The task of producing the Dakota Scientist this gear teas chiefly handled by the students pictured above and below.

Among those missing from the pictures are sports writers Jim flans-maun. John Andrist and Ted Carr: feature writer George Olson, and the various department writers. Complete details are found in the accompanying story. Publishing four pages of biweekly news, volume 20 of The Dakota Scientist contained 18 regular issues ami one homecoming extra covering campus news completely with department writeups, editorials, columns and features. Written and printed by students. Scientist presses got rolling under editor Jim Hansmann, Moorhead. Minn, athlete and student cabinet member. When his schedule became too crowded Jim turned his chair over to printer Gordon Plum of Napoleon. N. Dak. but remained on the staff as sports columnist. Having proved his dependability as associate editor. Gordon stepped into the top spot where he continued editing, printing a n d photographing for the paper. Another printer. Rachel Rundle on New England, N. Dak. took over as associate editor. Featuring a bold look, the new format included a new name plate centered by the recently adopted SSS seal as well as standardization of headlines and type faces. Old column rules were dropped giving the paper a modern note. The Scientist prints two editions of each issue, one for free distribution to students, the other revised copy sent to over 3000 names on the'mailing list which includes all dues paid members of the SSS Alumni Association. A member of the Associated Collegiate Press, national organization of college newspapers. The Scientist is one of the few student printed college newspapers in the United States. All type setting and actual printing are handled by students in the print shop of the Trades School. Favorite among student readers are the chatter column Speak of the Devil and The Tattlers Tale. Speaking of the Devil is bits of (nit) wit and opinion from the Jim Witt-Gus Lillibridge combo from which the boys take punches at buddies and somebodies. Mystery spot in the sheet is The Tattlers' Tales. an unsigned article of gossip and slander written this year by a variety of students. In the last edition of the year, the authors of The Tattlers' Tales were revealed for the first time. The list included Bennie Anderson. Pat McCarty. Bob Anderson. Jim Hansmann and Rachel Rundle.

This year Gordie Plum. Scientist editor, stepped into top spot with a crew ot three. But Dick Hodgson, now a member of the faculty, still keeps an eye on his brain child. For its editorial policy this new publication condescended to printing news when unavoidable, saving the rest of its 7 by 5 inch space for more important business.

Accountants were highlighted by the jottings of Varia Decker and Glenn Jensen while business students Beverly Funfar. Donna Hendrickson and Nayda Rapp represented their group. Campus clubs had reporters Geraldine Estcrby and Jeannine Wellan turning in notes on Student Wives and the Lutheran Students Association. On the staff were news edilor John Andrist. and feature editors Beverly Ewald and Patricia McCarty. Printers Shirley Wacha and Dan Kludt worked as department editor and makeup man while veteran journalist George Olson rend proof. On the reporting staff were Lois Freese. Lois Holden. Frances Casey and Joanna Lauder completing a list of boys and girls interested in spreading news about the State School of Science. Copies of the Scientist published during the first half of the 1919-50 school year were entered in competition with other college newspapers in a contest sponsored by Associated Collegiate Press. Although competing with much larger college newspapers, the SSS entry received a first class honor rating. In addition to the regular issue which was distributed to students, revisions were made in the edition distributed outside of school. News of alumni and activities of interest to the non-student group was prepared by Mr. McMahon for the mailing edition. PAGE 28 THE 1950 AGAWASIE Caspers, Wehlander, H. Wilson Elected to Athletic Commission Elected by students In spring balloting last year, three active campus personalities make up the athletic commission which works with athletic director Earl Skip Bute. The trio is composed of Willie Wehlander, second year liberal arts student from Delamere. representing the junior college; Mike Caspers of Breckenridge, representing the business school, and Harley Wilson, second year refrigeration student, representing the trades school. You have the situation well in hand. Naturally, that refusal to play poker means only one thing it's term test time coming up and every ambl-studious SSS'er is out for the kill the kill ranging the scale from rugged Calculus problems to Biology, where the live tailless amphibia with large hind limbs adapted for jumping are tabbed frogs by instructor Worr . Every ounce of stored up brain energy is exerted in cramming for the final fight for fame. Students have that sleepy look but. what's more important, they have absorbed some of the abundant knowledge that hangs in the all-around sss. The trio has many duties. They work with Skip Bute in scheduling the intramural leagues and keeping the records up-to-date. They are probably best known to the students, however, as the men behind the ticket windows at the various varsity athletic events. Their main mission is to add a student voice to the management of campus athletic activities. The members of the commission are easily identified on campus by the letters they wear. The monogram is the traditional ml and black Science S with an A C“ on it. The commission members nre awarded the letters and letter sweater annually. ☆ ☆ ☆ Harley Wilson. Wilfred Wehlander.

But seldom is anything said about the activities of these same students in off-campus groups. During the 1919-50 school year, many SSS students took an active part in the community activities of Wahpeton. They were active in church groups, sendee organizations. musical groups and many other similar activities. One group of students and faculty members, for instance, were regular members of the Alphcan Male Chorus, which put on concerts both in Wahpeton and the surounding area. Another group participated regularity in the Wahpeton City Band. The American Legion and Vet-erans of Foreign Wars both had a large number of SSS students among their membership, and several students were regular members of Company I”, Wahpcton's unit of the National Guard. Commanding officer of the unit is Captain Gordon Patterson of the SSS staff. On Sunday, the students were to be found in many of the Wahpe-ton-Breckenridge churches. Many were active in church choirs and young people’s groups. Fraternal, social and service or- COMMUNITY LIFE Continued on Page 31 Television for North Dakota ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ SSS Receives First N. D.

These returning vets were: Cliff Hermes, two year football and one year baseball man; Ken Ncllcrmoc. football, basketball, and baseball; Norm Starr, football; Leo Balccr, football; John Drury, football, basketball. and baseball; John Weaver football: Bill Gaulrapp. football and track; John Stcinwarth. football and boxing; Oakley Larson. baseball: Dave Symington, baseball; Bob Zimmerman, tennis; Jim Leaf, tennis and track; Dean ☆ ☆ Knapp, football and boxing: Jim Hansmann. baseball. Also on hand were Tex Itickert and Hay Theis. who earned their letters a few years back. At the first meeting of the year, the club elected Cliff Hermes to serve as their president. His able assistants were: Tex Rickcrt, vice-president; Jim Leaf, treasucr. and Jim Hansmann. secretary. With the end of the first term, the club lost by transfer their president Cliff Hermes and Tex Rickcrt. vice-president, who left to take a job. Elected to fill the vacancies thus created were Dean Knapp and Norm Starr, chosen as president and vice-president respectively. ☆ ☆ ☆ The first function of the new officers was to organize the initiation of new members who earned their places playing football last fall At another initiation held later In the year, the new basketccr monogram winners were ushered into the club. During the course of the year the club operated the Coke machines which are found in Burch Hall and in the gym and sold pop. pop-corn, candy, and ice cream at the basketball games. With the money thus earned the entire club traveled to Minneapolis to witness a game between the world champion Lakers and the New York Knickerbockers. Front rou-—Hill Gaulrapp, Wurman Starr.

These activities are proving of real significance to the REA program in North Dakota, he pointed out. Television Continued from Page 29 ing the picture came through without any interference. A seven-element beam antenna with a signal booster was mounted on the roof of the 80-foot Old Main building on the State School of Science campus, and the receiver located on the fourth Moor of the building. The receiver was a General Electric Model 805 with a 10-inch screen which was loaned to the school by Ray Moss, proprietor of the Wahpcton Electric Appliance Co. Wahpcton is 191 airline miles from Minneapolis, with an additional television-reception handicap of being at an altitude of only 961 feet, while intermediate points between Wahpcton and Minneapolis arc as much as 500 feet higher. During the school year, radio department instructors Wes Allen. Charles Brockmcycr and Bjorn Melstad worked with the set and plans were made for erection of another television antenna on top of the trades building so that a receiver can be placed in operation in the radio shop. Community Life Continued from Page 29 ganizations of Wahpcton also counted a large number of SSS students among their memberships. Many faculty members were also active in civic organizations such as Rotary International, the Wahpcton Chamber of Commerce and the junior chamber of commerce. This active mixing of SSS students with the townspeople of Wahpcton and Ereckenridge did much to bring the school closer to the city of Wahpcton. A visitor on the SSS campus during March was A. F. Arnason. commissioner of the State Board of Higher Education. Departmental clubs play a very important part in the scheme of campus life at SSS. Through UlO many campus clubs, every student has an opportunity to play an active role in part of the extra-curricular activity program. Typical of these clubs arc the two pictured on this page.

First of all we take the Hub, at least once a day practically every student in the school takes advantage of the friendly service offered by a fine group of girls. We see them every day and we like to talk to them in this nice, homey atmosphere. Of course these good-looking girls help to make it more homey. The students who stay at Burch Hall or the cottages are bound to get in contact with another swell group of people, the chow hall” group. These people get up In the wee hours of the morning to get a good breakfast ready for you. We can always depend on a good, healthy meal when we go to Burch Hall to eat. healthy because it has the right combination of foods cleverly planned, prepared and served by experienced hands. Wo certainly appreciate the services we have received from these people which all helped to make our school year more enjoyable. Then there is the bunch of men that we see around the buildings doing jobs of all sorts. This group is the maintenance group. These are the fellows that keep the snow off the walks, sweep the classrooms and shops, and. of course, rake the lawns in the summer time. Many of those men have had many years of experience working in maintenance groups, and they have been doing a wonderful job of keeping the school in tip-top shape.

It reads: “The Upper Midwest's Most Unusual School . Because of the unusual nature of the State School of Science it is often hard to explain just what the school is. There is no other lift like it in the world. Actually it is three schools in one. It's this unique combination that makes it so unusual. The three schools arc a junior college, a business school and a trades school. Actually the three schools are separate units, but they are operated in such a way that it is possible for a student to take courses from all three, any two or just one. This inter-action of the three schools makes possible a well-rounded education for an extremely large number of fields of employment. Beginning its actual operation in 1903 the school is now 15 years old. The junior college is the second oldest public junior college in the United States: its business school began operation in 1905: its trades school passed the experimental stage in 1921 and since then has become one of the best and most widely known of its type in the United States. In its half century of operation the school has greatly expanded in variety of work and number of students. Since 1921 Its operation has followed the principles described in the Babcock Plan and in the North Dakota plan. The plan of three inter-acting departments was the result of a survey conducted by Dean Rarle J. Babcock of the School of Mines of the University of North Dakota. In 1922. the school was named the central trades school for the state of North Dakota. Under the North Dakota plan, all trades training in the state is centralized in one school—a method which has proved very satisfactory in a state where agriculture is the primary industry. Under this plan the school has furnished skilled workers who have successful careers by serving the tcchni- ☆ ☆ cal needs of communities throughout the state and area. A particularly outstanding feature of the State School of Science is the modem equipment in all of its shops and laboratories. When the Naval Training Program was brought to the campus during World War II. a large amount of equipment was purchased by the Navy for use in connection with the training of sailors on the campus. Much of this equipment was left at the school when the Navy closed its unit on campus. Through donation and purchase of additional surplus property, other facilities of the school have also been highly improved. A continual program of improvements is always in progress on campus. Recently the facilities of the Science Building were completely modernized including new laboratory equipment for the physics, chemistry and biology labs. i i The State School of Science is located in Wahpeton. a progressive city of about 5000 in the southeastern corner of North Dakota. Wahpeton is the county seat of Richland County at the heud of the Red River of the North. It is a modern city with well-paved and well-lighted streets, a public library. exceptional water supply, hospital and a nationally-renowned park system. Across the state border lies its sister city, Brocken ridge, Minn., with a population of approximately 1000. For recreational purposes the two sister cities boast three modern motion picture theaters, several parks, a modern roller skating rink, a modern dance pavillion. swimming pool, several ice-skating rinks, two modern bowling alleys, golf course, trap shooting range, and other facilities. PAGE 2 THE 1950 AGAWAS1E Science Junior College Prepares Students for Additional Education Dissecting frogs or bisecting angles. cramming for classes in calculus or cooking, a hundred students of the State School of Science junior college divide their days in Main Building classrooms with an occasional trip across campus to labs in the science building or a phy ed workout in the gym. These students have a variety of interests and college work is planned to serve them in three distinct ways. Those who wish to enter the professions such as law, medicine, engineering, education or commerce and administration have the opportunity of finishing their first two years work in a junior college as credits gained here arc transferable to four-year colleges and universities throughout the country. Those who wish to fit themselves to take some gainful occupation by two years of intensive training after high school may do so. Finally, the student who wishes to attend college two years, get an adequate introduction to the arts and sciences and graduate may do so with the satisfaction that he has completed his course, not just dropped out at the end of two years. Here a student can take his first two years' work in Literature and Arts, Law, Medicine. Home Economies. Dentistry, Education.• Electrical Engineering and Business Administration; or because of close interaction between college and trades school he may take the first two years with full credit in JUNIOR COLLEGE Continued on Page 3 Junior college students use new equipment recent I y installed in the Science building.

The schedule of the average college student at Science includes a course in English, a math or a science, and a class in one of the various social studies with special electives for the different majors. Among these electives arc the foreign language classes under the supervision of Miss Esther Schulz. Classes in Spanish ami German are offered. These courses emphasize the use of the idiom to form a working vocabulary. Spanish classes use a variety of texts, a simple reader for beginners, easy texts dealing with life In Spain and the Latin American countries, and later the rending of Spanish novels. German classes, while following a simillnr schedule, are especially intended to prepare students who will take scientific German after transfer. A special feature of these classes is the use of disk and tape recorders to perfect pronunciation. Another principle of auditory learning is illustrated by a set of Unguaphone records prepared toy language experts to train the ear to catch fluent flowing phrases and different accents.

To Students in Junior College: When the war ended, we were told that schools would be more or less disturbed by a post-war adjustment. As a matter of fact the performance of veterans, as students, has been excellent, here and elsewhere. While the number of veterans is decreasing, there remains an atmosphere of maturity and responsibility that promises well for the future. It seems to me that danger of war is be'ng more stressed by older people than among students: that students are looking forward to an era of peace; and that they arc planning careers on that assumption. That is a sane attitude. Those who arc desirous of war know that they cannot have it without some break-down in the morale of oMr United States. If we continue to have a responsible and capable citizenry, there will be no such break-down. In short, the kind of training you are adequately getting, a resolute planning for an effective future, and a steady faith in the power and permanence of American democracy, are the best guarantees of peace.

Although the training received is comparable to a private or a commercial business college, students may study in surroundings equally shared by the Junior college and Trades school students xdike. Business school class rooms are found on the second and third floor ami basement of the Main building. The basement rooms have been rejuvenated and students now study shorthand in an atmosphere of modern lighting and blonde wood desks. Learning by doing” is. of course the motto of the business school. Students are taught in fields of work ranging from private secretaries to Dictaphone operators and have some training in each field. A business school classroom is always a picture of concentration since operating a machine, whether it be a typewriter or an adding machine, takes skill and patience. Actual machines operated by students are approximately six. These are called office practice classes.

Both classes are taught by Miss Morris. The standby of all stenographers is the typewriter and the two rooms used for typing are equipped with modern machines. Typing is taught by Miss Walton. Because students learn to use all the machines they may have to use later, the correct usage of adding machines is on the list, either hand or electrically operated. These are definite aids to accounting students in working out class problems. Modern Mimeo-scopes are used for cutting stencils as well as the ever popular electric and hand operated mimeograph machines. Actual experience in office work is duplicated as much as possible in classrooms. So that students can handle almost any situation in a later position, they practice drawing up bills, legal documents of all sorts, proper handling of business callers and ethics of office practice. From the beginning of the school year students work toward taking and transcribing letters at a high rate of speed. From the required business law course, students learn to draw up bills and legal documents. In the winter term courses in filing and indexing, incoming and outgoing mailing duties, framing of telegrams. banking and clerical duties are given.

Marriage certainly is Inevitable for many of you. A pleasant headline indeed, but one easy to attain. The question is: How many of you will make headlines, because you have made exceptionally good use of your training received at the State School of Science to become a success in a business, profession, or trade? Most of you will make newspaper headlines which will proclaim you a success, but it is hoped that many of you will earn success equally as important. More important than publicized headlines is your reputation among your friends, neighbors, and customers. Will they look to you for leadership, can they depend on your word, are you ami your family an asset to the community in which you live, does your work create confidence, are you loyal to those with whom you work and associate. If you can answer in the affirmative to these questions ten years from now. there will be no need for you to worry about headlines. You will have attained all that can be expected of you. It is not my privilege to become closely acquainted with each of you individually, but I am very familiar with those in the Junior College and Business School. I can say. without exception, that you have been very pleasant to deal with. I hope that you have found the atmosphere here such that you will want to come back and renew acquaintances periodically in the years to come. Best wishes, W. M. Nordgaard Business School Continued from Pa,qc 6 career life. An additional department in the business school is the Accounting Department. It is a two year course in accounting principles and procedure. The accountant is not an ordinary bookkeeper and needs, besides a knowledge of bookkeeping principles, the ability to visualize the effect of business transactions on the progress of the business and to offer aids and helpful suggestions for the improvement of bookkeeping efficiency. Successful completion of the accounting. business practice, and business administration courses makes for a trained accountant. They are thoroughly trained in the application of the double entry system of bookkeeping for all forms of ownership. Just a few of their abilities include opening a set of books, preparing current statements, computing comparative records, and determining and analyzing job or process costs. A successful business enterprise depends to a large extent on the accuracy and efficiency of the accountant and the accounting system. which is ably taught by Mr. Haberman. A student can prepare for two positions by combining accounting courses with stenography. thus being capable of doing either stenography or bookkeeping. The Business School, which was organized in 1903. also provides background training for many standard professions, for example law. This combination of business and professional training is made possible by the interworking of Liberal Arts courses with a strong business school. This practicality of training makes a firm foundation for advanced schooling. A business student may finish his or her course in as little time as six months, but the nine months course is desirable and recommended. To become skillful the entire two-year course is offered. Jobs are plentiful for graduates of the business school. Kmployers in this area contact the school and placements are handled through the business school office. Often students have jobs lined up before completing their course. Joyce Larson and Marcis Slumpf demonstrate their skill on a calculator machine to Lucy Hager, Leo Leraas, George Snustad. and hermit Kstcrby. -W- PAGE 8 THE 1950 AGAWASIE SSS 10,000-Book Library Serves As Study Hall, Source of Information A good place to look for the latest fiction or reams of research material is the roomy, well-lighted library which takes up a large part of the first floor of the Main Building. Here Librarian Carol Anderson assists students in their quest for the just right book in the over 10.000 that line the library shelves. A pleasant place, the library features a soft jade shade and white with the deep green of the north wad broken by eight big. glass-brick windows looking out on a grove of trees that separates the Main Building from the football field. The glass topped tables and comfortable chairs make it a favorite spot for study, research, finding the latest fiction or browsing through a magazine. One of the few libraries in the Northwest to receive a Carnegie grant, it has added many new volumes on history, English literature and the theatre. It also boasts the most complete collection of trades literature in the area. Not content with these accomplishments. Miss Anderson receives much of the latest fiction and holds subscriptions to 130 magazines and periodicals and 50 newspapers. Assisting the librarian is Ted Erickson, junior college honor student who counts his Dewey decimals and files his cards to keep this center of campus knowledge ninning smoothly. ☆ ☆ The Wheels Arc Kept Moving Cameron.

THE 19'0 AGAWASIE PAGE 9 Science Faculty Members Primarily Craftsmen The faculty of the State School of Science—like many of the other parts of the school is quite different from the typical college faculty. For the most part, the faculty is composed of men and women who arc primarily skilled craftsmen rather than educators. Very few of the faculty members boast a long string of degrees to put after their names. Instead they have a background of years of experience in the field of which they teach. In many cases, they are the top expert in their field in this area. To go into detail about the background of every instructor would take an entire book, so the editors have chosen merely to list the names and departments as they are carried in the college catalog.

To Trades and Engineering Students: Those of us who are closely associated with the Trades and Engineering divisions of the State School of Science think constantly in terms of improvement and growth. As departments' are expanded and new equipment added, courses are being strengthened. We know that the offerings in each trade course arc better this year than in any previous year; and we are aware of the fact that there is always room for improvement. At the time this is being written, ground is being broken for the construction of a new field house: and preliminary plans are being made for another building for the teaching of skilled trades. It is quite possible that one unit of a new three-unit trades building will be erected in the summer of 1952; at least we hope so. ns we are interested in continued growth of practical education. There are many additional skilled trades for which we should be offering training at the State School of Science. As we bid adieu to those of you who are completing two-year trade courses this Spring, we invito you to return and visit us in the years ahead; and we somewhat boastfully say. Watch us grow. Enthusiastic support from you and all Alumni naturally results in growth. Now a word to first year students: Qucstlonaires indicate that more first year trades anil engineering students will be returning next Fall than in any previous year in the history of the school. We like this. We cordially welcome your return in September. Sincerely, G. W. Havcrty.

PAGE 12 THE 1950 AGAWAS1E Special Courses Render Public Service to Area In ntUlilinn to regular courses, the State School of Science fre yuenlly conducts special courses as a public service to the State of iXorth Dakota. These courses enable state tradesmen to learn of new developments in their fields and bring them in closer contact with the school and the school with various trades. A As part of the continuing pro- gram to aid UK A in .V. I)., a special course was held for electrical inspectors this spring. The group pictured above were among the 10 taking part in the course. Left to right: Gordon Tucker, manager of Midwest Electrical Council: Clyde Kictey. president. S. I). Electrical Hoard: Glenn Unwell. Eire I ndcrwriter's Jlureau inspector. In the foreground is lien Harnard, head of the SSS electrical trades department. Typical of the efforts of the State School of Science to keep its training in line with the needs of employers and communities in North Dakota has been the school's continuing efforts to aid the rural electrification development program in North Dakota. Early in the fall, managers of five North Dakota rural electrification cooperatives met with SSS officials to lay plans for the second phase of a safety program conducted hv G. H. Mowers. SSS staff member. The managers and members of the SSS staff worked on a course of study which is being made available to all linemen working on REA projects in North Dakota. The first phase of the program was mostly over-the-shouldcr instruction bv Mowers given to linemen working in the field on REA projects. During the ten month period since the program was set up last November. Mowers has held some 158 meetings at the 22 North Dakota cooperatives. In addition to the instruction given in the field. Mowers inspects equipment, holds classes on safety measures and first aid and gives demonstrations of the proper techniques of line work. Although safety is the imme- diate theme of the program, the entire project is designed to promote more efficient work by HE A workmen. In fact, the whole program is designed to pay for itself through savings whieh will result because of added efficiency. The overall aim of the program is to train REA workers to do the job right the first time. The right way is always the safe way and the efficient way. Mowers points out. During the summer. Mowers has been working with representatives of various manufacturing firms demonstrating various types of safety equipment throughout the state. One of the series of demonstrations was in the use of safety equipment for handling hot lines. It was given jointly by Mowers and Richard Ferguson of the ■dtr Discussing plans for UEA training in .Xorih Dakota are (left to right) back row: E. E. Uiley. G. II. Mowers. G. II'.

Instructors from SSS watched a special demonstation of this equipment in August. The North Dakota project is part of a nationwide program aimed to lower the accident rate on REA projects, which last year was twice the accident rate of private utility line work. The new program which was set up at the meetings held last week will consist mainly of self-study courses for linemen. It will lx a four year program broken down into lesson form taking up all the key jobs in linework. The procedure for each job will lx taken up step-by-step with the safety angle always stressed. THE 1950 AGAWASIE PAGE 13 Long Winter Term Courses Offered at Science For the first time since pre-war days. SSS offered special long winter term courses in the trades school during the 1919-50 school year. The courses proved a definite success as all openings were lilled long before the November lirst opening date. Main course in the long winter term program is general mechanics. A new shop was opened in the fall to be used by students in this department. It is located in the trades annex. Students in the general mechanics department also made use of equipment in other school shops. The availability of some of the special equipment found in such shops as auto electricity, machine shop, welding and similiar school facilities was put to good use by the general mechanics students. Instruction in general mechanics includes general bench repair, tractor repair and overhaul, mechanical and electrical work on automobiles, oxygen-acetylene and electric arc welding and work on grinders, drill presses and lathes. In charge of instruction in the course was John Neporud. A total of 72 students were enrolled for the complete general mechanics course. Many of the men enrolled for the long winter term were farmers whose farm duties make it impossible for them to attend school during the full school year. A large percentage of the group was made up of veterans. ☆ ☆ ☆ Heavy Demand 25 Students Enroll for Plumbing A special three-months course in plumbing drew continued interest during the 1919-50 school year. Registered for the course were 25 students. The course is open to anyone over 17 years of age who can profit from the instruction. It ran in January. February and March. Included in the plumbing course are two periods per day of instruction in code study and estimating and two periods per day in trade knowledge. The remainder of the day is devoted to practical shop work. Herb Dietz, veteran plumber, was instructor-in-charge. While not teaching, Mr. Dietz puts in many hours maintaining school plumbing and heating facilities. Students in the course also got a chance to put their learning to practical application by work on various school plumbing projects including a new darkroom for the Agawasie. In addition to the regular plumbing courses, the students received special related instruction In such subjects as shop math, sketching and oil burners from George Soltis of the sheet metal department. The class had an opportunity to work on the oil burn- It Works This Way Herb Dietz Shows Student ers and other heating equipment in the sheet metal shop.

PAGE 14 THE 1950 AGAWASIE _ K Increased Emphasis on Engineering Stimulates Interest in SSS Courses On the cvc of full scale harnessing of atomic power a slide rule, traditional tool of the engineer, is taking a larger and larger place in our industrial economy. With the increased emphasis on engineering in the nation's industry. the State School of Science offers two year pre-engineering courses of study that provide the necessary ground work for civil, chemical, mining, mechanical or industrial engineering. Additional subjects are also available for students who plan on further study of architectural, aviation, or electrical engineering. Pre-engineering courses here are much the same as at other colleges and universities. The aim is not to train men directly for a specific job. but to lay the foundation from which the student can build his specialty during the last two years of college work. The course here, however, has one distinct advantage—the student works with technicians in the shops gaining enough practical experience to enable him to enter industry on a professional basis at the end of two years' study. With the large number of subjects available students are permitted to plan their courses in order that they may get the maximum benefit from their attendance here. There are many successful engineering graduates from SSS in both groups—those who went to work with two years training, and the others who transferred to other schools for additional instruction.

THE 1950 AGAWASIE PAGE 15 Building Boom Affects Drafting Estimating Department at Science With the nation's building trade booming and the ever increasing demand for new housing and public buildings, the drafting and estimating course at the State School of Science is attracting more and more students. Using the tools of the trade, students work on real problems to get the know-how that makes them valued men in the construction industry. Graduates become architectural draftsmen, construction foremen, estimators, building superintendents, and building inspectors. Many have gone into business for themselves with marked success. The majority of the subjects arc taught by individual instruction; the remainder by lectures, demonstrations, ami participation. The course is llexiblo enough to allow students to concentrate on the phase of tin construction industry in which he is the most interested. The course of study follows a logical sequence based on the assumption that the student does not have a working knowledge of the materials covered. The subjects interlock with each other promoting a full understanding of tin- subject matter. Mechanical drawing, free hand drawing, blue print reading, and architectural drafting are thoroughly covered. Other subjects given are mathematics, construction methods, surveying, estimating methods and practices, and study of specifications. For students who wish to take them, classes in English, typing, trade bookkeeping and business law are offered. Architectural draw inf is a major in Draft inf and Estimating.

After a thorough study of the fundementals of printing and typesetting students learn to operate job presses. Linotype anti Intertype composing machines, folding and perforating machines and other equipment used in the printing trade. Other courses are offered in journalism, advertising, trade bookkeeping, and English. Many of the prospective printers also take courses in the business school such as typewriting, operation of business’ machines and accounting. Others take subjects available at the Junior College that will be of value to them in their future career. American History, economics. foreign languages, physiology and sociology arc popular subjects with future journalists. In addition to the usual shop problems the trainees publish and print all student publications. These include the Dakota Scientist. bi-weekly newspaper; Agawasie, school annual; and the regular school catalog. A newcomer to the ranks of campus publications is The Wildcat's Whistle, a bi-weekly midget newspaper printed for campus distribution.

The regular course takes two years to complete, however, in recent year:; the demand for printers has been so brisk that very few complete the full term. As soon as they become reasonably skillful jobs are offered them and the chance to complete their training in the industry. Although the present class is one of the largest in years the school still has far more requests for printers that it is able to fill.

PAGE 18 THE 1950 AGAWASIE Refrigeration Students Build Food Lockers As Part of School Work With the Increasing use of refrigeration equipment in food preserving and air conditioning the refrigeration department of the State School of Science has constantly expanded. During the next few years the coming of REA to more and more farms In North Dakota, with deep freezer, refrigerator and air conditioning unit sales booming, graduates of this course can look forward to years of increasing demand for their services. Courses feature both theory and practice on actual units. Movies and lectures are also used to instruct students in this department. One of the newer pieces of equipment in this shop is a working model of a heat pump, the latest type of heating and air conditioning mechanism that uses the heat in well water to heat homes and offices. In summer the system is reversed and used as an air conditioning unit. The shop is nlso equipped with demonstration models, testing devices. such as efficiency testers, calorimeters, and an eight-inch turning lathe that is used to turn out various parts for refrigerator units. In the first year shop there are 1-1 units installed on stands with glass cases, in order that the student may more easily observe the various pressures and temperatures while the machine is in operation. This shop has ample bench space for the bench jobs and has five acetylene torches permanently installed along the benches. Compressed air is also available.

Sheet Metal Students Learn To Make Custom Built Installations Recent years have brought an increased demand for men in the sheet metal trade. New buildings require ducts for air conditioning conveyors, dust collectors, and exhaust systems and considerable use of sheet metal in kitchens, utility rooms, in addition to cornice and gutter work. Every sheet metal job is practically a custom built installation. The demand for trained sheet metal mechanics greatly exceeds the present supply. Students at the State School of Science study this trade in a shop well equipped with modern metal working machinery and tools. Here they learn how to make allowance for seams, finishing edges, and how to use them on various jobs. Proper use of solder and fluxes is also an important subject to which considerable time is devoted. The course also includes pattern drafting and the design of heating and ventilating systems. The shop also includes several units of heating equipment, oil burners and stokers. which students disassemble, inspect, reassemble and test. Architectural sheet metal work prepares graduates for the installation of ornamental eaves troughs, moldings, and skylights. Welding and machine shop practices are subjects that are also included in the sheet metal course. Trainees also perform actual jobs on the layout and fabrication of the fittings and duct work used in the installation of air-conditioning and central heating systems. Shop work is interesting. The average student with some me- chanical ability and an aptitude for hand tool work receives some measure of satisfaction in working a job from pattern development to assembly and finishing. Pattern layout helps develop the powers of imagination while, shop work develops coordination between mind and muscle. No groat amount of grime or odors are encountered in shop work which makes working conditions generally pleasant. Students in the sheet metal department often are called upon to tackle projects for use in various shops, classrooms and offices. This year, for example, sheet metal students designed and constructed several special racks for use in the print shop. All production jobs are under the supervision of instructors George Soltis and Spencer Hoken-son. THE 19S0 AGAWASIE Television Training Added To Radio Trades Department Schedule New courses are being: added constantly in the radio electronics department of the State School of Science to keep abreast or ahead of the rapid expansion of this industry. Many experts are of the opinion that television will be common in this area within a comparatively short time. In view of this the installation and servicing of television units has been incorporated in the radio department. Industry is also rapidly increasing its use of electronic controls, timers, counters, and inspecting apparatus in manufacturing processes. The radio department offers courses in the theory of installation and repair of all such devices. The school radio shops are largo and well lighted. Latest models of testing equipment arc available for use by the students. A good deal of this equipment, such as phonograph turn tables, batteries and analyzers arc portable, so they can be used at convenient locations as needed. Antenna and ground connections are built in at each work station at the work benches in these rooms. The parts storage room is closely patterned after the type found in the industry and acquaints students with the system used in most commercial radio shops. Instruction in shop work follows closely the lines of shop conditions found in the radio selling and servicing industry. This is a two-year course. During the first year students are given a thorough grounding in the theory of radio and electronics. Radio mathematics ami basic electricity are also stressed. Students also are given a considerable amount of radio drawing to familiarize them with service manual diagrams and circuit tracing. During the second year of study shop work is on a commercial pro- In the top picture Oilcan Mark.

Students then work on many real jobs such as household receivers, public address systems. record players, and auto radios, repairing and testing them. A study of F.M. is also made in order to prepare graduates for the servicing of the constantly increasing number of such receivers especially in television units. Other courses cover practical radio problems, theory of radio instruments. use of radio instruments. A.C. fundamentals of radio and radio laboratory problems. Practice is also given in the use of simplified practical accounting forms and the preparation of financial statements, and records and reports for governmental agencies. Many graduates start radio installation and servicing businesses of their own and this study of income records and bookkeeping systems is of great assistance to them in making these ventures successful. When a student completes this course he should bo qualified to pass the Federal Communications System examination for a first-class radio telephone license, which makes him eligible to operate any broadcast or television station in this country. A large number of graduates also become amateur radio operators, constructing their own transmitters and enjoying the thrill of talking with other amateur operators all over the world. The Radio shop is eery well-equipped in testing and other radio equipment. Here we see Charles Schultz. Stere Remsing. Roman Marvin, Don Dahl, and Norman Steen using radio-testing equipment. -W- Courses in aviation ground mechanics are available to students at the State School of Science for a minimum of cost. Flight training is also available although this is a private enterprise not conducted by the school. Students work on the elementary jobs on aircraft engines and planes in general at the beginning of the course. Later they devote their time to the repair and building of the complete aeroplane. The school shop can accommodate five light planes for rebuilding, rigging and for general repair and overhaul. Students learn how to use the various hand and machine tools used in the construction of wings and control surfaces, and the covering and doping of air frames. New equipment has been installed in all aviation shops providing the students with actual Shop training on the most modern machinery used in the aircraft industry today. In another shop students receive practical instruction in the repair and overhaul of various types of aircraft engines commonly used in this area. The aviation department has been an official government air repair depot since 1931. Operating ns a civil aeronautics administration approved air repair station the department is able to perform repair work on all classes of licensed planes. This provides up-to-date instruction for all students pursuing the aircraft mechanics course. Graduates of this course are eligible to take the Civil Aeronautics Administration examination as aviation and engine mechanics. Courses are also available for students who wish to enter the field of aeronautical design, engineering and contraction. Practical shop work is emphasized in the aviation departmer' There is always a wealth of p:...• PAGE 22 THE 1950 AGAWASIE Aviation Trades Continued from page 21 tical work of all kinds to bo done on airplanes that are continually brought in for repair and overhaul. Repair work is done only on certified ships, which means that all work done by the students must pass government inspection. As a result the students work must be thorough and entirely satisfactory. Work of this type trains students to become competent, skilled mechanics. As in all industries, there is a demand in aviation for trained men. particularly specialized mechanics. From all indications the demand will continue to increase for good airplane and ground mechanics who have a good practical knowledge of airplane rigging and repair, and engine operation, maintenance and overhaul. Instruction in the aviation department is open to anyone who can profit from the course. Various courses are provided according to the needs and desires of the individual. Those who plan to prepare themselves as ground mechanics and eventually make application for mechanics' licenses are not required to take physical examination. However, the Civil Aeronautics Administration has set up certain physical qualifications for those who desire to become pilots. Students in the aviation department have had an opportunity during the 1919-50 school year to see the development of a new safety device for light planes. In the same shops used by the students, instructors Art Sampson and Merle Ralston developed their Flo-Trol Splates (described in detail in the main news section, page •I). In addition to regular shop and classroom facilities, the school maintains a large hangar and landing field. Students in the aviation trade learn to use special tools such as electric drills, automatic riveting machines, etc. In the top picture are Jack Xelson. Lloyd Armstrong.

The objective of the auto mechanics department is to train service men. mechanics, garage helpers and others in the repairing, adjusting and servicing of automobiles, trucks, and power operated farm equipment. Changes are rapidly taking place in the automotive industry. A few years ago most of the repair Jobs were on the motor or transmission. In recent years this has shifted to the making of adjustments in the wheels, steering gear, fuel and ig-parlmcnl is to train service men. mission, and the electrical system. Due to the popularity of this course several shops are needed to properly handle the repair work on all types of cars. The main garage is located on the first floor of the new Trades building. Other shops adjoining the main garage give specialized instruction in other phases of automobile servicing. One is devoted entirely to the wiring and testing of electrical systems of automobile and farm powered equipment. The other shop is used exclusively for wheel alignment and automobile chassis on engines. The main garage is equipped with overhead tracks and trolleys, hoists and presses, brake-lining shoe grinder, main bearing boring machines, brake drum lathe, brake bar. gauges for checking camber, caster and toe-in. There are also turning radius gauges, connecting rod liner, rebabetting machines, jigs, valve refacing machines, cylinder hones, exhaust analyzer and motor analyzer for tune-up.

Various models of standard cars arc completely overhauled by the students during the years work. This together with production jobs to go out of the garage assures all students ample work on such jobs that are common in every garage. Another section of the shop is equipped with electric hoist, high pressure lubrication guns and a gear case llushcr. Students taking the regular two years automobile coin's® devote two or more weeks to specialized study of car lubrication. The regular course provides for a full two years of study. However there arc short courses provided for those who can attend only a few months each year and for persons having previous experience who want special instruction. Another popular short course is that provided for young men from farms who desire enough training to enable them to service and maintain the cars, trucks, tractors and machines commonly used on farms throughout this area. Students taking this course combine shop work with study of automotive theory and mechanics to gain a well rounded knowledge of the industry. In the shop the work on chassis adjustment and alignment; engines and lubrication, combined with garage shop work, furnish the experience of all common types of automobiles. Trouble shooting is one phase of automotive mechanics that is particularly stressed. The garage mechanic who masters this skill is always in great demand. A number of shop assignments cover this finding of the cause and correction of common mechanical failures or trouble of automobiles.

The adjustment, repair and testing of starters. generators, lights and batteries is thoroughly covered. Another important phase of automobile mechanics is the fuel and carburetlon system. A disassembling of carburetors and fuel pumps and practicing the necessary adjustments and maintenance with special tools is part of this course. Other courses are available in machine shop operation, welding, shop mathematics ami sketching. Students ore also instructed in the methods of business operation and bookkeeping systems. They are also required to become familiar with various reports and records required by governmental agencies. The automobile industry is keenly competitive and highly specialized. The school shops arc equipped with much of the standardized machinery found in the average garage that makes it possible for them to quote a Hat rate for repairs. The regular two year courses devote considerable time to practical shop work with the balance taken up in the study of other subjects pertaining to the trade. Short term students who do not take the full course devote their entire time to practical shop work in order to gain as much practical experience as possible in a limited time. The photos here show groups of students working on actual problems that will confront them as employees of garages and service stations throughout the midwest. rapt i K •$ oM SSffl Auto mechanics get a thorough knowledge of all working parts of an automobile before they go to work on repair jobs.

PAGE 26 THE 1950 AGAWASIE Fender Benders Get Complete Training In Automobile Body Repair Modern automobiles are sleek and streamlined but they arc so built that they can not absorb the dents and collisions that older models took In their stride. A crumpled fender or scraped running board does not slow down a 1939 model, but it might jam all the doors shut on its 19-19 cousin. The streamliners arc here to stay so that means more work for the auto body repair men and refinishers. As this is a relatively new trade there is a great demand for students who have completed the Science School auto body repair and refinishing course. The school shop where instruction in this trade is given was especially designed for this purpose. The department operates a well-lighted modern shop in which it is possible to work on as many as fifteen automobiles at any one time. This shop is equipped with the latest equipment required to perform auto body repair work on any model of automobile in this area. Auto hotly repair work requires skill in welding so the shop has both portable and stationary gas welding outfits, electric arc spot welders, door straightener, jacks, burnishing machine, glass grinding machine. soldering equipment, two complete spray gun outfits and is fully equipped with the small electric and hand tools required for the various kinds of auto body repairs. In addition to the shop work students are also given courses in shop mathematics, shop sketching and reports, care of hand tools, cs- There is a trick to making tin old reck into ti new one. but not too much for the auto-body .shop.

North Dakota with the constant expansion of Rural Electrification Administration is providing ever greater opportunities for the electrical industry. New generating plants are being built at Beulah and Velva. and the Bureau of Reclamation has authorized construction of a super transmission line that would carry current from the Garrison Dam to the eastern part of the slate. The bringing of electric power to farms throughout the state will greatly stimulate the need for trained electricians. The electrical department of the State School of Science has been inspected and approved by the North Dakota State Board of Electricians and the Minnesota State Board of Electricity. Full credit is allowed students for time spent in training at the Science School by the North Dakota State Board of Electricians. A student who satisfactorily completes the eighteen month trade course will receive eighteen months credit towards the three years experience required before making application for either a journeyman. or a master electrician license. The Minnesota State Board of Electricity allows one year credit as experience to those satisfactorily completing a standard electric trades course. The electrical department of the State School of Science enjoys an enviable reputation. During World War II it was one of nineteen schools in the United States selected and used by the U. S. Navy to train its personnel. The facilities of the electric department were used to train five hundred electricians mates in a group. The civilian teaching personnel of the school was used and many of these groups were handled in succession. Much of the second fioor of the present Trades building is used to house the electrical department. Even then it has been necessary to increase the size of some of the shops in order to provide ample space for the increasing number of students taking this course. There are five large shops on the second fioor devoted to the following phases of the electrical department: Signal Circuits. Appliance Repair and Electric Controls. Electric Motor Maintenance and Repair. Meter Testing and Instrument Construction. Radio Repair and Maintenance, and Electrical Refrigeration.

First year students arc given a great deal of instruction in electrical motor maintenance and repair. All types of single phase motors and three phase motors arc repaired and rewound. The shop course also gives students experience on D.C. motor and generator repairing and rewinding. A complete series of film strips and training films are used to instruct trainees in the latest method of maintaining and repairing motors and generators. Another division of the department handles signal equipment, appliance repair and electrical control. Signal equipment includes all simple circuits, their installation and wiring. Interphones such as those used in offices and store buildings are also set up. checked and tested. The installation of circuits and tracing them by actual testing are considered the maior part of the study of signal equipment. Oil burners, stokers, gas burners and all types of electrically operated heating controls are studied and tested. All common household appliances and some of the heavy duty type used in industry are studied and repaired. Electrical wiring is made as practical an possible by having the jobs resemble those found in the industry. This shop is located in the center section of the old Trades Building and occupies a section 65 feet long and 35 feet wide. Here students find a thirteen room, two story house, with rooms, stairways, closets, windows and doors, similar to those found in standard PAGE 30 THE 1950 AGAWASIE I � I f f t f Klee trie appliances are repaired by students.

The lower story of the house is finished, thereby providing actual experience installing of wiring in a finished building. The upper story is unfinished to give students practice in wiring buildings while they are under construction. Second year electrical students specialize in meter testing, instrument instruction and repair in addition to advanced courses covering the subjects already mentioned. This shop has a switchboard that has been especially designed to furnish alternating or direct current in any suitable voltage or distribution form. The generator for this switchboard is located in the basement in order to avoid noise and vibration. On each side of the switchboard are test tables where instruments are connected for testing and calibration. Practically any electric test can be performed on these test stands. There is also a standard meter test table especially designed for testing watt hour meters equipped with phase shifter, voltage and current regulators. Practically all graduates of the electrical department in recent years have gone to work for various REA Cooperatives or contractors working on the construction of new REA projects. A practical course in electrical drafting covers electrical symbols, simple circuits, connection of transformers and the internal connections of motors. This also includes a presentation of a solution of various alternating current problems and diagrams of their solution. This helps electricians to understand the diagrams and graphs used in trade literature. ✓ i — THE 1950 AGAWASIE PAGE 31 Electrical Students Continued from page 30 maintenance manuals and catalogs. Electrical distribution systems are also studied to familiarize students with the methods and equipment used in laying out and constructing electrical distribution lines in small cities and rural areas. Classes arc also instructed in the fundamentals of designing transformers and special electrical equipment. An example of this training is the calculation of the new winding for a motor on which the data is lost or unavailable, or when the speed frequency and voltage has to be changed. Other jobs include the changing of a motor from single phase to three phase. Electrical students make a thorough study of the national electric code which has been accepted by the State Board of Electricians as the basic code governing the installation of electrical equipment. A complete knowledge of this code is required to pass any examination for an electrician's license in North Dakota. Also required are a knowledge of REA specifications, power company regulations, and the requirements for electrician's license. The use of electricity in industry is also stressed. This course includes practical problems such as Ohm's law in scries and parallel circuits: line drop: line laws; electrical efficiency: cost of electrical power; wiring systems: sizes of wire. etc. Electronics and its use in industry is thoroughly covered. After studying basic electron tube theory, its various uses and installations are also covered. These arc the diode gas filled tubes, thy-ratrons grid glow tubes, vacuum lubes as amplifiers, timing circuits, welding controls, high frequency induction heating, photo tubes and the cathode-ray tube. Electric welding machines and their operation is another phase of the uses of electricity covered by this trade course. Instruction is also given in the fundamentals of oxy-acetylcne welding on the types of jobs found in commercial electrical repair shops. The department also offers a two year electrical engineering course with standard college credit. The electrical work in this course is combined with the practical trade work to nich a degree that many students are able to find well paid jobs on completion of the two year course. As in the other departments courses in business fundamentals and in the keeping of records for efficient business operation arc available. Si ( mil equipment gei a go• A ing over by Tommy Anderson.

The introduction to the article pointed out: Rural electrification opens up a tremendous field of employment. Finding qualified people for the jobs that need to be done is a serious problem for the electric co-ops and for the allied enterprises that are developing in electrified rural areas. The situation is particularly acute in sections of the country, such as the Great Plains, where real strides in rural electrification arc just beginning to be made. Serve REA tXeeds This story tells what a North Dakota school is doing to fit young people for jobs and at the same time serve the needs of the rural electrification program in this area.” The article: The willingness and ability of the North Dakota State School of Science to assist in training electric co-op employees has given a great boost to rural electrification in that Stale. The school, at Wah-peton. gives practical courses in REA bookkeeping, the electrical trades, heating, plumbing, air conditioning. refrigeration, and radio repair. Many students qualify for work in various capacities on the staffs of North Dakota’s expanding electric co-ops. Others find places in Electrical Trades student:; wire a farm for REA power V allied trades in areas served by the co-ops. So great is the demand for qualified rural electrification workers in the state that some students even leave for jobs before completing their courses, when the instructors believe they arc sufficiently well qualified. .1 I'nigue Institution Wahpeton Science, as the school Is familiarly known. Is a trade school, business school, and junior college, all combined in one. It has 1.000 students and offers training suitable to nearly 100 different vocations. It concentrates on 1- and 2-year courses, but keeps its program flexible enough to meet the needs of special groups. Last spring, the business school conducted a special course in REA bookkeeping for 20 office workers from 18 electric co-ops in North Dakota and l in Minnesota. Because they still had their coop records to keep in order too. the course was split. The first 2 weeks of schooling were given in March. Then the students returned to their co-op offices to catch up on their work. In April, they returned for the final 2 weeks to complete the course under the leadership of Rudy Carlson, former REA staff member, now with a North Dakota engineering concern. In addition to the 20 co-op of- ♦ Kenney Mohs hanys a light fix-f’ire under REA restrictions. REA has its own specifications for wiring.

A contribution of equal importance to potential co-op employees is reported to come from the trades school, on which North Dakota co-ops and contractors are drawing for electricians and other trained workers. Under the leadership of G. W. Haverty. the trades school stresses learning by doing.” So well do students learn that more than 00 per cent are reported to wind up doing the sort of jobs for which they are trained. Students come from all sections of the state and the majority return to their home comunities to work. ■ A Sports Section Che Agmuaste SECTION NO. 5 WAHPETON, N.

To compensate for their heavy losses of lettermcn through graduation and transfer, each team put on displays of fight which netted them distinctions. Highlight of the football season came when Science dumped an undefeated Minot Teachers eleven out of the top spot in the conference in a thrilling Armistice Day victory. Basketball's big moment came when the Cats launched a fighting offensive that dropped Valley City and their 19 game win streak out of the conference undefeated rank. Science's Golden Glovers shared some glory also. They walloped the University 6-3 in their first card of the season, and they were the only Cat team who ended their season with a better than .500 average. In all or the above cases it was the undying spirit for which Science has always been noted that proved to be the measure of victory. With three wins and three losses the football team batted a .500 percentage for sixth place in the conference. Their overall season record included an additional loss and a tic. The cage squad got off to a bad start but shaped up well as they pulled themselves out of the cellar into sixth place in the conference with their five wins and seven losses. The glovers scored three victories while dropping two cards for a .600 percentage. Intramural basketball also created much interest at Science as competition ran close. Junior College had a poor seasons record, but shaped up well by the end of the season when they copped the intramural tournament crown with a victory over the powerful auto mechanics. All in all. it was a very successful year for Science from the athletic angle. Wahpeton Science's fighting Wildcats gained a great deal of prestige in post season football news as four Bute-men placed on the all-conference team, while two of these four were being selected to the Fargo Forum's all-state aggregation. Drury and Rickcrt were selected on both of the squads, while Captain Knapp and Cliff Hermes annexed berths on the all-conference squad. Bubbcr Drury, also a star pitcher on the baseball team and a member of the hardcourt quint, is 21 years old and hails from Moorhead. He made the all star squads through his fine offensive play from the halfback position. The Forum rated Drury as one of the top runners in the NDIC. Tex Rickcrt. a 28 year old returnee who lettered in 1941, is from Wahpeton and is taking a refresher course in printing. Tex made both squads at the tackle position where he did an excellent job of plugging holes with his huge bulk. Captain Dean Knapp, a drafting and estimating student from Glen-dive. Montana, made the all-conference team at guard from where a large portion of the Wildcat fight originated.

Science had only a mediocre football team with more losses than victories, but on that day the home gridders tore up all their previous records, took to the field, and tore up Minot Teachers unbeaten eleven 20-13 to bring to an end the verbal battle between the two teams which had been raging since they were forced to share the conference crown in 1918 without meeting on the field. The above game climaxed one of Science's shakiest seasons in years. It was a slightly below par season which saw the Wildcats win throe, lose four, and tie one game. The Cats opened their season with Bemidji Teachers who gave them a 11-0 licking. The following weekend the conference champion Valley City Vikings had to come from behind in the second half to score their 23-6 win. Science got into the win column at this point as they dropped Mayvillc 26-6 and Bottineau 17-0. Jamestown handed Science their first homocoming loss in the school's history when they lashed the Cats 29-6. and Ellcndalc's aerial baffled the home team to the tune of 31-7. A tough break in the last minute of play forced Science to settle for a 12-12 tie in their battle with Dakota Wesleyan. Then came the Minot game which wrote the bright finis to Science's 1919 season. THE 1950 AGAWAS1E PAGE 3 Powerful Bemidji Tech Eleven Hands Wildcats First Defeat of Season A powerful Bemidji Teachers' team proved too powerful for the inexperienced Science team in their opener as the Wildcats fell before their sister state rivals by a score of -11-0 on September 17. The Minnesotans took the opening kickoff and marched all the way to pay dirt as Jack Buckley pushed over the score and converted. A few minutes later Ken Sherman scored again, and another Buckley conversion gave Bemidji a M-0 quarter lead. Science came roaring back In the second frame, but they didn't have the final punch, as the Beavers took over deep in their own territory. At this point Jim Kichmlre ripped his way through the entire Science team to go all the way and Buckley toed his third straight point to make it 21-0. Bill Horn then turned the game into a rout with two touchdown sprints of -15 and 55 yards, and a fourth quarter Hamilton-Group-man pass and Buckley's fifth conversion wound up the scoring. Butemen Snow Under Bottineau Foresters With 47-0 Lashing The Science men showed little mercy for the Bottineau gridders as they unleashed a vicious ground attack to trample the Foresters •17-0 at Bottineau on October 7. They started quickly as they pushed across three TD'j in the first quarter and they were never threatened. They added one more in the second, two more in the third, and another in the final frame. Drury. Hermes and Kothe each scored a pair and Balcer counted once. Hermes and Drury each booted two conversions and Balcer counted another. Highlight of the game was the first score of the second half when Cliff Hermes took the opening kickoff on his own 13 and scooted 87 yards up the right side line to pay dirt. Vikings Stage Second Half Spurt To Defeat Fighting Wildcats 23-6 After outfighting, outplaying, and outscoring a heavily favored Valley City team during the first half. Science dropped before a lashing Viking offensive that piled up three touchdowns in the last two quarters to spell out 23-6 final at Wahpcton on September 23. The Wildcats knocked at the Viking door several times during the earlier stages of the game, but were unable to cross the big chalk until late in the second stanza. Herb Hothe set up the score with a pass interception, ami a first down put the ball on the nine. After two consecutive loss plays, Bubbcr Drury chucked a pass to Jim Hansmann who took it over his shoulder in the coffin corner to score untouched. Early in the third quarter Valley City's Ratzloff intercepted a pass at midfield, and after his teammates drove to the nine he grabbed another aerial in the end zone for the score. Noack split the uprights for a 7-6 lead. In the final frame, the Vikings clinched the contest when Leo Stumpf displayed some fancy footwork in racing 51 yards to pay dirt. A safety and another sustained march to the Wildcat goal completed the margin of victory. licut For The Haulers Wildcats griders take half-time breathing spell Science Gets Into Win Column With 26-5 Win Over Mayville The Wildcats grabbed their first victory of the season as they chalked up an impressive 26-6 win over the Mayville Beds at Mayville on September 30. Hermes tossed a II yard aerial to Drury for the first score and Leo Balcer toted over the second TD to give Science a two touchdown quarter lead. The contest was evenly played in the second and third frames, but late in the fourth quarter, the Science juggernaut again began to roll. Hermes climaxed a 65 yard drive by plowing over from the eight. A few minutes later Mol-berg intercepted a Mayville fumble and neatly handed it off to Jim Lauder who scampered over for the final score. PAGE 4 THE 1950 AGAWASIE Cats Suffer First Homecoming Defeat At Hands Of Jamestown Bute and Patterson Prove Top-Notch Coaching Pair For Science Grid Squads A determined, hard-f i g h 11 n g Jamestown grid team and a flat Wildcat eleven proved to be the combination of Science’s first homecoming loss in the school’s history as the Jimmies walloped the home team 29-6 on October 15. Science drew first blood with Kothe’s 18 yard payoff jaunt down the sideline, but Jamestown struck back on a march that was climaxed by a touchdown pass from Licbe to’ Bcrgreen. After a punt exchange the Jimmies scored a safety by downing Flaa in the end zone to go ahead 8-6. Science once again drove back, but the half-time gun found them two yards from home. Early in the second half Jamestown counted again on another Licbe-Bcrgrcen pass with a lateral to Greitl who cut down the side line and raced 60 yards for the score. A moment later Thompson intercepted a Hermes pass and returned it all the way to the Wildcat 12. A circus catch of Thompson’s pass by Dreith added six more points to the Jimmies side of the score board. After Science lost the ball on downs on the Jamestown 10. Mnrv Siebold broke through the center, reversed his held, and raced 60 yards for the final score. Fumble, Penalty Give Dakota Wesleyan Tigers Chance For 12-12 Tie A quirk of fate cheated Science out of its third victory at Mitchell, S. Dak., on November 5, when Dakota Wesleyan took advantage of a fumble ami a 15 yard penalty to push across a last minute touchdown for a 12-12 tie. The Tigers got off to a good start when Waddle gathered in a 26 yard pass and raced 11 yards for the first score. Science tied it up in the second frame in Hermes’ plunge from the two which climaxed an SO yard march. The Wildcats opened up another offensive a short time later, but time ran out. Early in the third period, Drury faded back to pass but couldn't find a receiver, so he raced 52 yards to again put Science in the lead. Outplaying their opponents the rest of the way. Science took possession on their own 22 with a minute and 20 seconds to go but I he fumble and penalty put them on the defensive on the nine from where Barber whipped around left c id to score the ticing touchdown. Ellendale Dusties Hand Grid Cats Fourth Loss Of Season In 31-7 Game Ellendale Normal leased a biting aerial attack which resulted in a 31-7 drubbing of the Butemen for their fourth loss of the season. The Dusties marched all the way to the Science 26 from the opening kickoff where Don Berg connected with Palmer Rct .laff on a beautiful touchdown pass. After recovering a Cat fumble on the 30. Ellendale hit pay dirt again with two Berg passes: the first to Juclko on the 11 and the scoring one to Retzlaff. Science then began their own passing show which resulted in their lone score when Hansmann took a 30 yard Hermes pass on the two and fell over the line. Ellendale bounced right back, however, behind Berg's pass pitch to Rctz-luff in the end zone. Juelkc. Berg and Retzlaff combined some nice running for their last score.

Twelve of these are second year men who probably won't return next year, but the other ten showed much improvement under their chief mentor's guidance, and should they return to cast their shadow on the Science gridiron next year, the Red and Black can look forward optimistically. Letter winners included: LaVern Williams, a freshman student from Fessenden. LaVern played end and was a very willing worker, though handicapped by injuries most of the season. James Lauder, a freshman from Wahpeton, and one of the smaller men on the team. Jim is an exceptionally good blocker and tackier. Played very good ball in the latter part of the season at quarterback. Morin Starr hails from Glendive. Montana, and is a second year student. Playing at guard. Starr lacked size, but made up for it with a lot of fight. Herb Kothe. a Springfield. Minnesota freshman at Science. Kothe’s special method of running made him very hard to stop. Herb is especially good at intercepting passes. Playing at halfback, Kothe should be outstanding next year. James t'laa is a left-handed right halfback, coming from Wahpeton. He uses drive to make up for his weight handicap. Dean Knapp is a second year student from Glendive. Montana. An all-conference guard. Dean captained the team and proved a very capable leader.

However, as the green squad moved through their season they improved right along until they reached the high point of the season when they dumped the Valley City Vikings. The Cats were the only team in the conference to defeat the powerful Vikings, who were riding on the crest of a 19 game winning streak at the time. Science climbed out of the conference cellar in the latter part of the season up to sixth place. Their record was five wins and seven losses. Loading scorer for the Cats was towering Alf Dighans. all-state and all-conference center, who powered through 209 points in 11 conference games for a 19 point average. Dighans was the second highest scorer in the NDIC. and had he not been forced to the sidelines with a broken ankle midway in the season he might have pressed high man Bob Price of Valley City.

Although he placed second highest in NDIC scoring during the 19-19-50 season. Alf's chief specialty was defense.

Stretching his 6' 5 frame to push through 209 points in 11 games for a 19 point average. Alf rang up a record that was particularly outstanding since he didn't get a chance to play to his best ability because of injuries. Only NDIC eager to top Alf's record was Valley City's Bob Price, who set a conference record with 286 points in 14 games for a 20.1 average.

The Cats got off to a hot start and taking an early lead in the first quarter, kept in front all the way. Jim Hansmann set the pace in the first half as he netted seven out of eight shots from just inside the center line. But more than a matter of a one-man show, the 71-65 victory was strictly a team affair. All of the Cats kept up the sizzling pace set by Hansmann. with Captain Alf Dighans showing the way. Science led 16-1-1 at the end of the first quarter and then puttied out in front 39-30 at half-time. Dighans took ov in the second half as the Cats increased their lead to 52-11 at the end of the third period.

Although they displayed smooth offensive and defensive power, the Werremen lacked the rebounding height of the Vikings. A cat rally in the final quarter fell short when Alf Dighans was banished with five personal fouls. Price, Viking center, paced the Valley City team with 31 points. Dighans and Fisher had 16 and 15 points respectively for the Wildcats. Viking Duane Holly, former Science Star, was the most outstanding defensive player on the court for either team as he controlled almost all of the rebounds. Dickinson. 93: Science. 73 Traveling to Dickinson Tebru-rary 21 and 25 for a two game series, the Wildcats bowed twice to an experienced Savage quintet. 93 to 73 and 82 to 66.

Descending down the traditional chimney-fireplace route, the genial Santa, Frank Hamcrlick in real life, distributed his full pack of gifts among the crowd of merrymakers. The Accounting club was in charge of decorations and did a ft ft ft magnificent job in decorating a huge tree in the center of the dance floor. This was surrounded by a white picket fence, with red and green streamers transforming the remainder of the gym into a magic dreamland of holiday cheer. Jimmy Thomas and his smooth orchestra played their l est tunes in addition to a number of specialties. During intermission the students joined in singing White Christmas.

Bev Cruse. Sylvia VYasdahl. the Wahponettes. the Noveltones and emcee Gene Anderson. Other clubs were in charge of the concessions on the gym iloor. The concessions were assigned to clubs according to the size of membership. The Sacajawea and Lcttermen's clubs were in charge of the refreshment stand; the elec- trical club operated the bingo concession: the general mechanics ran the baseball throw, with the auto mcchs in charge of the basketball toss. The aviation club ran a dart throwing booth; sheet metal club members took charge of a hoop tossing stand: the LSA operated a silhouette cutting concession, and the Newman club ran a novelty sales stand. Auto body men had a sling shot booth; radio clubbers, a fish pond: printers, a nail pounding stand; engineers, a penny toss; refrigeration. a ping pong bounce, while the junior college club ran an age and weight guessing concession. The drafting and estimating club was in charge of booth construction and the accountants handled financial arrangements. The student cabinet supervised the event. Although bad weather cut down attendance, most SSS students turned out for an evening of fun. Profits from the event were used to finance a dance in connection with field day. Cabinet Treasurer Art Busch Lines Up Bands for Parties With the booking of the Lee Williams orchestra for the Spring Formal held May 15. Art Busch ended a busy year. As student cabinet treasurer and dance band chairman he had made complete arrangements for over ten bands which played at Science parties throughout the season. Art came to Science after serving with the army ski troopers. This week he will complete his two year's work in electrical engineering. a course he intends to continue next year at the University of North Dakota. Orchestras lined up for the 1949-50 school dances by Busch were: Bob Calame —Get Acquainted Party September 12 Don Strickland Homecoming Party October 15 Tony Williams Hard Times Party—October 31 George Schoen Thanksgiving- Party November 22 Jimmy Thomas—Christmas Party—December 20 Tempo Kings—March of Dimes Party- January 31 Tempo Kings—Sacajawea Formal February 14 George Schoen Pre - Lenten Dance—February 21 Jimmy Thomas—Easter Party— April 17 George Schoen Field Dav Par-ty—Mav 11 Leo Williams—Spring Formal — May 15 ☆ ☆ ☆ Art Busch A band for tonight?

Because the main interests of SSS students are In the llelds of employment for which they are training, the clubs are organized in keeping with these interests. During the year each of these clubs meets regularly. Often an outside speaker is invited in to address the meeting. Other meetings feature movies of interest to the club membership. Probably the greatest interest, however, is in the various social meetings of the clubs. Most of the meetings are held at the Campus Hub. but many clubs journeyed off campus for such activities. Most of the SSS clubs got off to a Hying start during the 1919-50 school year by preparing lloats for the big homecoming parade in October. Nearly every SSS club was represented by a float—many the result of hours of painstaking effort on the part of members. A trophy for the best float in the parade was presented to the student wives club, composed of wives of married students. The winning float featured a minature football Held with one housewife beating a rug hanging from the Jimmies' goalpost and another trimming the hair of a young man named Jimmy. The trophy was presented by the Wahpcton Chamber of Commerce. Gerry Esterby. Jean Fost and Eleanor Peterson were the float committee. Chairman Marvin Hintzman and his associates, George Wells and Art Tiegs. worked hard on the sheet metal float which drew second honors. This float had a barber chair and barber. The barber, dressed in a Science uniform, lacked a little skill as he was inflicting a bit of brutality on his customers. who were dressed in Jamestown uniforms. Third place went to the Reefer club, which had a float bearing an igloo and a wildcat along with a cake of ice which encased the Jimmies. Dwight Satermo and John Dodds headed the five man committee which also included Lyman Peterson. Roscoe Thullcn and Gene Weller. During the year many clubs were called upon to supervise the various all-school parties. Each party was assigned to a particular club by the student cabinet and it was the club's responsibility to supervise decorations and take care of other party arrangements. One of the first parties to be assigned to a specific club was the annual Thanksgiving party held The most ambitious project undertaken by any individual club during the 1919-50 school year was a variety show produced by the electrical club. The show, composed of student talent, was presented at the Valley Theater in Wahpcton on March 30. Entitled The Variety Parade of 1950 . the electrical club's project drew a standing room only crowd at the Valley. Two shows were presented during the evening along with screenings of Donald O’Conner's “Are You With It?” With able emcee Clayton Kul-seth at the helm, the Singing Dukes sang My Gal Sal . The Wahponcttes trio tapped through Easter Parade , followed by songstress Sylvia Wasdahl's toning of I Cover the Waterfront . The E-Quad-S quartet splashed through April Showers until dancer Bev Cruse appeared on the November 22. The electrical club got the job. Bill Weinberger was appointed chairman of the party committee with Harvey Pederson, Donald Haxeim, Donald Hanzlik and Bill Mcrrymon assisting him. Forest Bold was chairman of the program committee. stage. Instantly their melody shifted to A Pretty Girl . Crooner Bill Mcrrymon was one of the show's biggest hits as he sang Just For Now . Pat McCarty gave words to The Waltz , explaining that the first hundred miles arc the hardest . Final number on the program was the rhythm-minded Novel-tones. who beat out their usual mean tunes to end the show with a spirited bang. Most of the work involved in staging the show fell to the hardworking leaders of the electrical club—Don Hanzlik and Bill Weinberger. Supervising both production and ticket sales, they turned out an event that went down in the books as one of the outstanding events of a busy school year. Profits from the successful show went into the club's treasury to help finance spring activities of the organization. The accounting club was named by the cabinet to manage the Christmas party. Many hours of hard work went into the decorations. which carried out the Christ- DEPARTMENTAL CLUBS Continued on Page 8 PAGE 8 THE 1950 AGAWASIE Departmental Clubs Continued from Pa.gc 7 mas theme. Red and green streamers decorated the gym. while a huge lighted Christmas tree In the center of the floor held the eye of all. The radio club next drew a party assignment as the cabinet named this organization to sponsor the pre-Lenten dance. The auto body club got the assignment of the March of Dimes party and Campus Card contest. Tried for the first time this year, the party proved a huge success. Votes for the Campus Card were indicated by dime contributions to the March of Dimes. John “Bubber Drury won the contest hands down and auto body president Norm Starr presented him with appropriate awards. The contest raised nearly $25.00 for the March of Dimes. Various clubs had charge of other parties, but the big mid-year event for all clubs was the carnival held on March 6. Each club had a different assignment. The drafters, for example, were in charge of construction of the booths: the accountants sold the tickets, while other clubs actually operated the various concessions. The lettermen’s and Saeajawea clubs were in charge of selling hot dogs and other refreshments; the bingo stand was run by the electrical club. Supervising the baseball throw was the general mechanics club, while their brothers in the auto mech club took over the basketball toss. Dart enthusiasts found the aviation club ready to assist them, while experts at hoop throwing were guests of the sheet metal club. At the helm of a silhouette stand was the Lutheran Students Association. The Newman club ran the novelty sales concession. Deadeye Dicks found their target in the auto body club's Sling Shot Salon, while outdoorsmen enjoyed the radio club's fish pond. The printers managed a nail pounding concession, while the engineers' E-quad-S club supervised the penny pitch. Those who weren't afraid of the truth patronized the junior college club's weight and age guessing booth. The refrigeration club, meanwhile, was in charge of a ping-pong ball bounce game. The broadcast club drew a somewhat different assignment as it organized and produced the Follies of 1950 with talent drawn from various campus groups.

Most of the clubs chose a Minnesota lake for their big day. but at least one club decided to make use of the occasion for a visit to linns in their field. The radio club spent the day visiting various radio stations and firms in Fargo. ☆ ☆ ☆ Presidents of the various departmental clubs were asked to submit a review of their clubs’ activities during the 1919-50 school year for inclusion in this section. The reviews that were turned in follow. Radio Club After having several meetings pertaining to the homecoming lloat the Radio Club was officially organized October 21. 1919, with Dale Burnett from Lamoure as president. Dale was last year’s vice president and was automatically installed as president. Other officers elected were William (Bill) Keltgen of Fargo as vice president and Clayton Kulseth as secretary-treasurer. Since finances were needed it was decided each member would pay fifty cents dues and to make sure of their attendance a fine of five cents was made for each meeting missed. This greatly increased attendance. Mr. Allen was named advisor to the club and along with Mr. Mel-stad and Mr. Brockmeyer made an active member of the club. The first activity of the club was the homecoming parade. After wrestling with the wind and crepe paper we got some paint and came up with a big box which you had no trouble recognizing as a television set. right down to the tuning knobs. On the screen of this set were two football players, a Jimmy and a Wildcat, with the Jimmy about to be tackled. In side this box was Vernon Brockmeyer furnishing a musical background for the voices of Gene Anderson and Clayton Kulseth. who were making predictions on the outcome of the game and inviting people out to see an afternoon of good football. Entertainment for meetings has consisted of movies and card DEPARTMENTAL CLUBS Continued on Pago 10 PAGE 10 THE 1950 AGAWASIE Departmental Clubs Continued from Page 9 games. Several door prizes were awarded to increase attendance. ☆ r ☆ Refrigeration Club Shortly after school opened the Refrigeration Club got off to a quick start by holding a couple of meetings during class periods to elect officers and get things rolling- Early in October the first meeting was held at the Hub with cards and a show on pheasant hunting providing the entertainment. At a succeeding meeting Vernon Hektner. from the junior college, delivered a talk on Business Trends and the Profitable Location of a Refrigeration Business . There was an open discussion on Mr. Hektner’s talk and it was very well received by all present. In the early part of December the club was fortunate in having Mr. Carrol Secor and Leo Daley from Refrigeration Supply Inc., of Fargo, for a meeting. They discussed the operation of the new McQuay Norris ice cube maker. They also brought a working model of a Coplematic condensing unit with observation windows that show how the unit operates, many information pamphlets, parts and service catalogs, a cutaway of a multiple capillary tube header used on the new ice cubers and cutaways of the method of hard soldering used in refrigeration. Just prior to the Christmas vacation. the club held a Christmas party at the Campus Hub. A delicious spaghetti supper was served and then a progressive whist tournament was held. After vacation Mr. Nick Matt-hccs of Rigel Refrigeration of Moorhead. Minnesota, delivered a speech on Employee and Employer Relationship and the Possible Outlook for Refrigeration Sales and Service”. On February 6. Mr. Wallace Nordgaard. registrar of the State Science School, gave a very interesting and enlightening (alk on the Proper Approach to a Prospective Employer and the Various Relative Aspects to Good Job Hunting .

We are also looking forward to an open forum with a service man from Rigel Refrigeration at Moorhead. ☆ Drafters Club The Drafters Club consists of all first and second year drafting and estimating students. Its main purpose is to get together all the students who are interested in and are pursuing this course. It is also to get and distribute added information that will prove of help to them. They are the ones who built the drafting department float for the homecoming parade, and also decorated the gym when it was their department’s turn. The officers of the club for this year are: president. Eugene Newell: vice president. Clarke Burnham. and secretary-treasurer. Arthur Hunter. The club also has a bowling team, whose captain is Leonard Aalgaard. It tied for first place in the interdepartment league. ☆ ☆ Electrical Club The Electrical Club, organized in October. 1919. elected officers and prepared a homecoming float which is customary for most Science clubs. But here the similarity ended, for by mid-year the club had grown to accommodate approximately 100 members, and was holding regular bi-monthly meetings in addition to occasional extra programs. Thus it was, that the Electrical Club became one of the largest and most active on the campus this year. Heading the club are president Donald Hanzlik of Ogden. Utah; vice president Bill Weinberger of Parshall. and secretary-treasurer Ben Erickson of Mandan. These officers were instrumental in securing speakers and movies for the meetings and in organizing club projects such as the bingo stand for the all-school carnival. Speakers during the year included Mr. Nordgaard and Mr. Hektner of the business school ami junior college respectively: Mr. Don Schultz of Prayler Electrical Insulation Co..

Although bad weather conditions decreased attendance 20 delegates representing four schools in the area registered for the conferences. The meeting opened with morning Mass, included a mixer and a dance and ended Sunday morning with a communion breakfast served at St. John’s school. Representatives came from the University at Grand Forks, the Agricultural College at Fargo, and from the South Dakota State College at Brookings. Special delegates from the local group were Lois Freese. Marguerite andall. Leigh Liekness. Tom Kavanaugh a:ul John McCarthy. Visiting clergy in attendance were Father Robert Mullins, chaplain for the University group: Father A. S. Wagner. University of Minnesota, chaplain of the Northwest Province, and Father Robert Arth. chaplain for the AC club. This event and other meetings sponsored by the club were ar- ranged by the officers with the aid of F. H. McMahon and Miss Mercedes Morris, faculty advisors, and Father George Mehok. pastor of St. John's Church. Leading club activities this year were president Wilfred Abend shein. vice president Art Busch, secretary Doris Broadland and treasurer Lowell Gaulrapp. During the year club members were given an opportunity to hear guest speakers discuss various religious issues.

Miss McClure, who attended 1919 Ashram. Rev. Paul Bjcrn-stad. student service secretary, and Mr. Wellan, Science Instructor who spoke on Churches. were the prominent outside speakers for these devotions. Other worship services were led by students and several religious films were shown. Christmas fellowship was increased with a supper served at the Lutheran Church, followed by a candlelight service and carol sing.

The meetings benefited electrical students by keeping them abreast of new ideas, equipment and developments in their field. A trip mixing business and pleasure was taken in the fall term to Fargo to view General Electric's impressive Magic House. A visit to view about 10.000 electric motors in the Moorhead sugar factory is now being arranged. The club also plans to tour k ,MW for a look-sec at the broadcasting transmitter and other electrical equipment there. On the lighter side the boys plan to give a farewell party at the end of the winter term for fellows leaving on jobs: to go on a fishing trip in April, and to wind up the spring term with a dance and farewell party. This varied list of activities gives, we hope, a spectator's view of what goes on when the Electrical Club holds forth in the Campus Ilub. The club has had a busy year! ☆ ☆ ☆ E-Quad S Club Since the Engineering students drew up n constitution for E-quad-S. as the club was named, in the winter quarter of the 10-18-40 school year the club has done many things. This year tours were made through the Rosemeadc Pottery and the Ottcrlail Power plant. Plans were made to have several local engineers speak at club meetings about their specific branches of engineering. Club officers this year were Robert Lovell, president: Dnle McBride. vice president: Gordon Ler-fald. secretary-treasurer. Intramural s| orts are a main interest of E-quad-S just ns they are for many other clubs on the campus. The Engineers' basketball team is just in the middle of the league at the time of this writing but great hopes are still entertained. Plans are under way for a softball team to uphold the softball reputation established last year. Sparked by Harold Christianson’s pitching reputation and Don Mitchell's fielding the Engineers won all the league games and went on to defeat Commissioner John Happy Ncperud's all-star team on field day. The school year is climaxed by the Club's annual spring picnic which in years past has proved to be one of the club's major events. Social Activity Continued from Page 3 social activities got underway on Thursday. May 11. with the annual field day. Under the direction of Jay Spoonheim, the day included an awards assembly, picnic and evening dance to the music of George Schocn and his orchestra. Louis Brady and his committee put finishing touches on a star-dusted gym just as the first couples arrived for the annual spring formal and senior reception on Monday, May 15- The evening included dancing to the music of Lee Williams and his orchestra and a special entertainment program. Wednesday. May 17. was set aside this year as picnic day and the various campus clubs took off for outings at various off-campus ! oints. The Sacajawea club staged its annual Mothers' tea at the gym on May 19. A special program of student talent was featured. Many impromptu picnics and parties marked the last week of school for students, while faculty men took off for Star Lake for their annual week-end fishing party. The faculty of the junior college and business school were guests at a turkey dinner held in the home economics rooms in Old Main on October 4. The dinner was prepared by the faculty ladies, with Tom Terry doing the turkey-roasting honors.

Front: Jo Lauder. Mike Schaff. Tat McCarty: Hack: Cordon flam. Orville Fenske. The story ol how the staff of the 1950 Agawasie went about producing the most unusual college yearbook ever produced . Yearbooks in American high schools and colleges play the same part in recording the events of the school year as newspapers do in capturing the happenings of the day in print. A product of the entire school, the annual is important not only to the staff members who handle the details of photographing, writing the stories and assembling the two for printing, but to the entire student body and faculty whoso on-campus lives form the Substance of every page. Producing an annual at the State School of Science is distinguished by the fact that Science is one of the few schools in the country in which actual printing of the book is handled by the students. Girls and boys in the trades school printing department set the type, make up the pages, feed the presses and do all of the other jobs that make possible the 181 pages in each of the 1.000 annuals produced. Almost a year before the day when those last few pages roll from the presses the first plans for the book get their start. That is the day in the spring when members of thp student cabinet make th selection of the editor for the following vear. Last spring a 21-year old Navy vet got the job. Mike Schaff. who would return the following fall for his second year of drafting and estimating, got the nod which gave him the title of editor and the hard work and late hours which go with it. Mike's home is a farm near Glen Ullin. North Dakota. Here his Hashing smile, dancing feet and occasional bouts with an accordian had made him a good fellow” with all the townspeople. At Science Mike found the situation much the same. Soon after his appointment. Mike got together with Dick Hodgson. Agawasie advisor, for plan-making chnts. Mr. Hodgson is an SSS grad with journalistic experience gained while editing publications at four colleges before serving as a Marine Corps Correspondent and public information officer during World War II. and while working on several national magazines after his discharge. While working on other college publications, Mr. Hodgson had envisioned an idea of adapting the format of a Sunday newspaper to an annual. Ho discussed the idea with Editor Schaff and they worked out preliminary plans for such an annual dedicated to American newspapers for their role in the development of our country. During the summer they continued to develop the idea with correspondence flowing between Wah-peton and Glen Ullin. Just after the 19I9-50 school year began last fall. Schaff posted a notice on the bulletin board inviting everyone interested in working on the annual to come to an organizational meeting. There Mike met his crew—16 students from junior college, trades and business schools. Mike picked Orville Fenske. also a Navy vet and a pre-commerce second year student, for the position of business manager anti Waldo Borsheim was named his assistant. Another man of importance was Gordon Plum, a first-year student from Napoleon. North Dakota, who was adding to his seven years of experience in his hometown print shop and completing a two-year printing course in one year. A shy. amiable boy with a way of getting things done. Gordie was named make-up editor and chief photographer. Fenske and Plum also held scats on the six-member policy committee which assembled frequently during the next few weeks to discuss yearbook problems. Other members of that committee were editor Schaff, Jo Lauder. Pat McCarty and Lois Holden. First of the problems facing the staff was the financing of the annual. Although the actual costs of producing the book were considerably reduced by the fact that most of the work is done at the school, only eighty cents a quarter was received from each student through the regular activity fee. so considerable money had to be raised through advertising sales. 3 textbook of the newly-adopted school seal presented by North American Press of Milwaukee won unanimous approval. Every Sunday paper needs a comic section and so do we. said the staff. Early in the year Car-roll Brown and artist John While of Greene Engraving Company of St. Paul sat in on a meeting to discuss comic strip possibilities. The result was eight pages of cartoons featuring a campus cutic named Coleen and her pipe-puffing pal. Ed. It was drawn by Artist White to specifications prescribed by the Agnwasie staff. Another problem was how to work in a magazine section which is a feature of most every Sunday newspaper. This problem was solved by correspondence with the editors of This llVffc, the leading national newspaper magazine supplement. They gave the A gaica sie staff permission to use their format for a magazine section. The title was changed to This Year and plans were laid to conform as closely as possible to the original This ll’eeA:. Gus Lillibridge. who had become popular among the student body as co-writer of the regular Speak of the Devil feature in the Dakota Scientist, was appointed editor of the magazine. Working with the policy committee. Gus made plans for several special features, including a fiction contest with prizes to winning authors. One of the biggest jobs in the production of the 1950 A gaica si e was getting all phases of campus life recorded on photographic film. Editor Schorf and chief photographer Plum charted schedules and grabbed a supply of flash bulbs to visit classrooms for pictures of students and faculty members at work. Plum’s job grow more demanding as homecoming, open house, sports and social activities crowded the calendar. I-ater the job of photographing large groups was entrusted to Carlyle Johnson of Johnson Studios in Wahpcton. who spent at afternoon arranging and photographing the groups at 15-minute periods in the Hub. Reporters and news editors, meanwhile, scanned copies of the campus newspaper to assure complete coverage of all important events and spent free moments tapping typewriters to supply fresh copy to meet print shop deadlines. Sports editor John An-drist was the first to have all his copy ready for the linotypes. Meanwhile society editor Bev Ewald, Ila Langseth. Frances Casey. Pat McCarty. Jo Lauder, Charles Mindeman and others got in their share of copy. When Lois Holden left school after the fall term. Bob Anderson Armed with a stack of red and black placards stating boldly. We are supporting student activities at the North Dakota State School of Science by advertising In the Agaicaise . a rate schedule and receipt books. Fonskc and Bor-sheim began to canvass Wahpcton and Brcckenridge merchants prepared to point out that an ad in the Agaicasie was capable of influencing the buying power of over 1.000 students, faculty members and their families. Businessmen responded admirably according to Fenske. Lists of ad buyers were published bi-weekly in the Dakota Scientist. During the course of the campaign the annual sponsored two Wildcat bns-kctball broadcasts over station 4 KBMW with commercials on behalf of the various advertisers. When Orville Fenske and Gene Anderson, who replaced Borshcim as assistant business manager when he left school in mid-year, put away their pencils and receipt books, over $1,500 worth of advertising had been subscribed. Another early job was deciding on a cover. Artist Lois Holden drew up a suggested design and it was sent, along with specifications, to 13 leading cover manufacturers. When nil of the companies had made their presentations, the policy committee held several meetings to decide on the cover to be chosen.

The biggest copy-writing job of all fell to George Olson, a former newspaper editor enrolled in the printing department. He ground out the copy to go with the pictures of activity in each of the trades departments. When he needed special material such as short stories and brief essays. Editor Mike paid a visit to Miss Esther Schulz's freshman rhetoric class. Soon students, who formerly had to worry only about getting the proper verb in the right place in their weekly themes, were tangling with plots, rising action, turning points and surprise endings. Looking for still another type of copy. Mike turned to the experts. He sent letters to many American leaders asking for comments on the role of the American newspaper In the development of our country for use in the dedication section. Combining all this material in an attractive layout which would be in keeping with the newspaper format of the book was the next task. Editor Schaflf. make-up chief Plum and advisors Dick Hodgson. Howard Kindc and Ed Adams laid down the basic objectives and then the staff set to work to dummy the book. On specially prepared page forms, lines were drawn in to indicate just where each picture, piece of copy and headline would go. Then as the material became available, proofs of each item were pasted in the proper spaces. But before the pasting-up could bo done, several other tasks had to be finished. Prints of all of the pictures were cut down to the proper size and sent to either Greene Engraving Co. of St. Paul or Dakota Engraving Co. in Fargo so that cuts could be made. Meanwhile, copy was cheeked and then sent over to the printing department where linotype machines were kept busy preparing the lead slugs that form each line of type. This operation was under the direction of instructor Ed Adams. Proofreading staff m e m hers found themselves deluged with long narrow strips of paper called galley proofs on which they could catch any errors made by the typesetters. When the proof was read and mistakes marked in the code peculiar to printers, it went back to the linotypists. who set a new slug to replace the faulty one. When all of the proofs had been pasted on the layout sheets, they were taken to printing instructor Howard Kinde. who assigned them to one of the printing students for “setting up”. The students located the proper cuts and type matter and then arranged it within a metal frame. When eight pages were thus arranged, the form was transferred to the cylinder press in the print shop. Much of the work in printing a publication such as the 1950 Aga-wasie comes after the form” is put on the press. This operation is called make-ready” and requires special efforts to see that everything that is to show up on the printed sheet is the same height in the form so that the printing will be even. Sections of the yearbook are printed 16 pages at a time. First eight pages are run ofi'. then the sheets are turned over and another eight pages are run on the other side. If a second color is used, the paper must be run through the press another time for each eight pages. Then comes the folding Job. This is a hand operation and requires more time than talent. The stair and anyone else who could be bludgeoned into a trip to the print shop sat around big tables folding each sheet three or four time . This gang of inky fingered kids waved goodby to the precious pages as they were packed olT to the Globe-Gazette Printing Company in Wahpcton for binding between the red and white covers. Then it was all over but the shouting and the distribution. On the big day when the 1950 Aya-wasie became the property of the present owners, it was somewhat of a bright and shining stranger to the students, but the students certainly were not strangers to the Ayatcasie. for inside the still clean covers was the word and picture record of familiar people in well-known places doing the little ordinary things that made news during the 1949-50 school year at the North Dakota State School of Science. Supervising production of the 1950 Aya wasie was the faculty of the printing trades department. Howard Kinde (left), printiny instructor, supervised the actual printing, while Edward Adams (right), linotype instructor, supervised typesetting. Dick Hodgson (center), journalism instructor and SSS public relations director, was faculty advisor to the statf.

Joe just don't look the type. In fact he don't look much of any type. Those fat. shiny glasses he wears make him look like the big-eyed bugs he's always fooling with. But he looks worse without them—like he is groping through a thick, wet fog. And those skinny arms with books dangling at the ends of them like awkward pendulums! When he gets behind a microscope folks forget he's Joe and act like he comes with the rest of the lab equipment. But Joe is my buddy. Not quite my speed, of course. But when wc decides to go to college his mom takes me out in the kitchen, plies me with peanut cookies and misty eyes and asks me to look after the lug. She says she knows I can take care of myself but that Joe will probably forget to eat for a couple days and he never remembers to change his socks if someone doesn't keep right at him. I don't much like the position of baby sitter, but she plays on my sympathies and when she says something about putting an extra slab of choclate cake in her weekly box to Joe—well, like I says, she’s playing on my sympathies. The first day when the biology prof peers through his thick lenses into Joe's thicker ones, his pale eyes light up with a feeble gleam like when a lonely goldfish looks through the bowl and sees one on the wrapper of the box of fish food. Right away he makes Joe lab assistant which keeps him out from . under foot a good part of the time. One night Joe ambles into the soda shop where I put in my hours as head fizzician. He plops down on a stool and orders a malt. I mix him one so thick I nearly have to chop it out, but Joe lets it sit there and melt while he buries his crooked nose in a fat. greenish book. I stand there glaring at him when I hear the clip-clip of heels that can only mean a college woman dressed for the kill. A little fairy of a blond is descending on us. She floats up to the stool next to Joe and turns a full battery of eyes on him. But Joe keeps reading the fine print. So she raises a tiny paw and tweaks the old boy on the top of one of his huge ears. This doll, I figures has got the wrong guy. I lean across the counter to enlighten her. But Joe raises his nearsighted eyes, snaps his book shut and wanders toward the door with Blondic in tow. Joe just leaves his malt sitting there untouched. He doesn’t even think about paying for it. But I'm too flabbergasted to say a thing. In fact. I’m devastated. Under what rose petal did the old boy find this young beauty. I asks myself. And what's wrong with the kid? Blind maybe. Well, she picked a poor seeing eye dog. But it don't worry me long. Good Old Joe will explain all in the privacy of our dorm room. I thinks to myself. But Good Old Joe doesn't say a thing that night. Or any of the others when he comes dragging in well past the witching hour. After about a week of this mystery. worry has left me drooped and withered. Deep purple rings surround my bloodshot blues. My finger jitters so I can't hand a glass of coke across the counter without it splashing like a tidal wave. I'm indignant. I agreed to keep my eye on Joe. sure, but the contract didn't include no dolls— not dolls like her anyway! By this time I have it all figured out. She's up to no good. She's leading my buddy along the slippery stones of the primrose path. Probably using him in some shady deal. I tells myself. Maybe she has him buried beneath a sack of her overdue calculus problems. It's a clear case of a dope being duped. Why she might even have him slaving in some dark basement turning out an H-bomb! But if Joe labors late and long over a hot test tube, he doesn’t show it. He has that bright-eyed look of a man who has met his first B-l vitamin. He even remembers to change his socks. But he is too dumb to know a chick like this blond doesn't waste her evenings This story was selected from among the fiction stories written as a class project in freshman rhetoric as the first prize winner in the 1950 Agawaste's fiction writing contest. The author. Pat McCarty, is also a member of the Agawasie staff and was a regular contributor to the columns of the Dakota Scientist. Winner of second prize was Beverly Ewald. Her story appears on page 12. on the school grind unless she's after something. But I'm not letting that peroxide product win all the innings. One night as Joe and the doll hurry past the shop. I ditch my white jacket and saunted out right behind them. They're so wrapped up in whatever they're talking about they don't even notice me and I tails them across the campus. When they stop at the Science building all my fears jump up and wham me in the face. Whatta setup! A whole building crammed with stuff like nitro and glycerine — and maybe even hydrogen. And Joe's got run of the place as a lab assistant. I slip in the door and creep up the steps. Here I stop. Better give them a chance to get the stuff sot up if I want to catch her with the goods. I tells myself. After a couple thousand years. I hear the clink of instruments and an occasional word in some soft, foreign tongue. Now's my chance, I assure myself. I glance around for a weapon ami latch onto the plaster arm of one of the dummies them anatomy students use. With my weapon over my shoulder. I slip to the door and stick my head in. What I see amazes me. Here arc two strange, masked and gloved creatures poking around in a large glass case that's giving out with a buzzin' sound. Okay, you two! I holler. Why. hello. Joe answers just like he was expecting me. Come on in and take a look at this experiment Miriam and I have been working on. Not me. I tell him. You ain't going to rope me in on anything like that. Aw. these bees won't hurt you. Joe answers. Bees? Sure. This glass cage is an apiary anti we've almost proved that. . . The next few sentences make about as much sense to me as the Tibetian alphabet, but it sounds like they're revolutionizing bee culture by putting the little buzzers on a •10-hour work week. Joe sounded right proud of himself. Then he explains. But it isn't all my idea. Miriam's a biology major, too. and she helped me work it out. But I’m too busy looking at Miriam to listen to Joe. She's busy taking off her gloves and mask, and whatcha know, she's wearing a pair of horn-rimmed specks so thick they make Joe's look like cellophane.

Maybe somethin will happen during the remaining months after publication of this yearbook to set it aside, but it takes really great events to record a specific year in history. In the Red River Valley they will undoubtedly long remember the late spring of 1950 and the old-timers” of years to come will undoubtedly be telling their offspring of the late blizzards, the ice that wouldn’t move olf the lakes, the record low temperatures and other phenomena—just as our elders told us about the winters in the nineties”. In such cities as Grand Forks. Crookston and Wlnnepcg. the citizenry will long recall the disastrous floods of 1950 . . . how the waters of the Red river rose to new heights and remained there for weeks. Probably the farmers in this area will long talk about late planting in the spring of 1950 when they were unable to get into some fields as late as June. The year will also be strong in the minds of residents of other areas where disaster struck heavy, but to the majority of Americans, 6 A Report to Bring Back Memories in 2000 it will bo just another year in the passage of time. But even though there has boon nothing outstanding enough to put a big circle around the year, there have been many things that have gone to make this year different in some way from the rest of the century. Many of these things are just the common ordinary things that tend to get lost ns the years move on. Fifty years from now we'll probably wish we could remember more about the year of 1950 and perhaps some of us will be digging around in a pile of dusty books in an attic somewhere and come across this yearbook. As we go through the pages, many dim memories of school events will come back to us. But how about things outside the school? To solve this problem, the editors of the Agawasie asked several of the faculty members to join with the staff in recording a few of the factors that went into the year of 1950. The Big News News stories were sure to And front page space in the American newspapers of 1950 if they delt with either of two things—communism or atomic energy. In Washington, a young senator from Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy, had levelled charges that many communists hold important government posts. The charges eaused a sensation and the papers were full of stories about congressional investigations of the matter. In the year 1950, communism was considered the exact opposite of American democracy and members of the communist party were generally considered anti-American. This basic difference in philosophy had placed the United States and Russia—the two most powerful nations in the world in 1950— at the head of opposing teams in the struggle for world power. The battle. Communism vs Democracy, was labeled a cold war and the papers were full of battle reports . Many authorities were predicting outright war between the two sides within the next few years , but other experts claimed that things were not that bad. Involved in the whole picture was a desperate attempt at world unity through an organization known as the United Nations , which came into being following World War II. The other big news factor was atomic energy. 19-15 had seen the birth of a potent new weapon the atomic bomb. Newer developments. such as the so-called hydrogen bomb—still only a drawing board idea at this writing, gave even more importance to atomic energy. News stories also delt with attempts at applying the principle of atomic energy to other uses such as | ower for industry and transportation. American newspapers in 1950 were still regarding aircraft accidents as unusual and spectacular and devoted many columns of space to such tragedies greatly out of proportion to other kinds of accidents. Labor problems also made up a large portion of the news of 1950. After four rounds of wage increases following a period of reasonably stable wages during World War II. labor organizations trained their sights on other benefits to their workers—primarily retirement plans. Politics 1950 was an election year and Republicans were seeking to gain back some of the power they lost to the Democrats in 1918. Politics-always complicated in North Dakota were more confused than usual in 1950. March was the convention month. The Republican Organizing Committee held their meeting first and endorsed C. Norman Brtinsdale. Mayville banker and farmer, for the governorship. They picked the present governor. Fred G. Aandahl. Litchvillc. for one seat in Congress and after a bitter Moor fight endorsed incumbent William Lcmke as his running male. The Nonpartisan League convention was next. That group endorsed Frank Vogel, longtime I-eague leader, for the governorship ami endorsed Congressman Usher L. Burdick for re-election. The NPL had Lcmke trouble too. Some delegates wanted to endorse him. others wanted to endorse only Burdick. The final outcome was the naming of Martin Stcnchjcm. Minot potato grower, as Burdick's running mate. After a tough four-hour debate a proposal to switch the NPL ticket to the Democratic column was defeated by a l-l vote. Indications are the race for U. S. Senator will l e a close one T. H. H. Thoreson. Grand Forks, is opposing incumbent Senator Milton It. Young. Berlin, who has the ROC endorsement. Thoresen is the NPL candidate. The Democrats held their meet last — they picked Ervin Schumacher. Drayton farmer, as their 9J0 .s automobiles were lower, wider, taster, more economical and more comfortable than their older brothers. Chevrolet (shown here) Ford and Plymouth continued to lead the low priced field and were the nation's most popular cars.

In 1918 he ran for governor on the Republican ticket as the NPL candidate. His running male is Edgar Agncw. popular young mayor of Dickinson. In 1918 the leadership of the Farmers Union supported the NPL ticket this year they forced through the nomination of Obed Wyum, Rutland, as their nominee for governor at the Democratic convention as well as that of Schumacher. The Democratic nominee for U. S. Senator is Harry O'Brien, Dark River editor and publisher who is known all over the Midwest for the humor and satire in his column Read 'Em and Weep”. Mayor C. G. Byerly of Mandan is opposing Obed Wyum claiming that Wyum is a stooge for Glenn Talbott, NDFU president. O'Brien also has opposition—Joe Kyollcn. I-akota. a young veteran who thinks the younger element of the Democratic party should lx given more consideration. To further confuse matters the Young Nonpartisan League was taken over by young leaders of the Farmers Union who insisted that the NPL candidates flic in the Democratic column — then the Young Republicans of North Dakota were taken control of by an executive committee dominated by members of the NPL - it had formerly been in ROC control. The final outcome—after what happened to the pollsters in 10IS— we are making no predictions. Mr. North Dakota Voter will decide that on June 27 long after this annual has gone to press.

Most suit skirts are slim or moderately Hared. The neat, casual, simple style of clothes throws the interest to fabric and color and carefully planned accessories. Rayons ami cottons feature sheers ranging from the soft voiles to the crisp organdies. Dark sheers will be the popular hot weather street dress material. Piques will be one of the most popular cottons. Bold cotton prints take their inspiration from the South Sea and Hawaiian designs; made into full skirts they arc perfect for square dancing. As for color, navy with touches of white is tops for spring. Movies When a Science cat ami his favorite kitten step out on a Sunday eve their usual destination is one of the local theatres where they join the cinema set to spend two hours laughing or crying with their film favorites. A typical list of shows seen by Science students would include everything from Laurence Oliver s winner of five academy awards. “Hamlet, to an over-the-hill-and-shoot-em-up Western thriller. Science likes music and it likes comedy. It found both qualities happily combined in the giddy goings-on of Frank Sinatra and Betty Garrett in On the Town which featured top tapper Gene Kelley. Also good for laughs was that dizzy blond. Marie Wilson in My Friend Irma. Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn took a mean lling at comedy and came up with Adam’s Bib while Ann Sheridan and Cary Grant were rewarded with an equally joyous chuckle for their efforts in I Was A Male War Bride. A comedy of more charm ami tenderness was Clare Booth Luce’s story.

But—some like to be waited upon, others would lather serve themselves and the first few days we tried self-service the customers accused the girls of being lazy. We remember the day the waitress dropped a tray full of dishes— broke them—more loss . . . the day the customer walked out without paying his bill . . . the morning we stopped the customers from drinking four cups of coffee for the price of one. Then there was the time the student ordered toast and coffee for breakfast. After drinking two cups of coffee, the student went to class, was gone for -15 minutes, then came back with the empty cup for another refill. Of course, no one will forget the day of the big March storm . . . answering the telephone . . . get- ting the help home . . . and trying to sell the girls some extra items for their night’s stay in Old Main.

The screen door banged loudly behind me as I entered a quaint, slightly cluttered old gift shop on one of our more quiet Duluth streets. There was no sound in the store except that of the dying echo of the banged door, and I wondered if anyone were around. Hello you're new around this neighborhood, aren't you? was the cheery greeting which the tiny, gray-haired lady called to me. Her friendly tones implied a warm welcome that was difficult to find in a busy city and my loneliness in new surroundings hurriedly took flight. Yes. I'm staying at Robinson's now. I confessed. I haven't been here long enough to become very well acquainted with anyone. The little woman's blue eyes seemed to light up as she cheerfully assured me that friends were easy to find here. This is a fine neighborhood and I know you'll like it before long.” she replied with all the confidence in the world in her sweet voice. Then she added to the forethought, before I neglect my flourishing business here, may I help you look for something? Granny, as was her accepted name in the community, had a gift shop that was supplied with every kind of small gadget ever patented by anyone. In addition to this, one corner of her crowded store was devoted to her own creative ability - tin y crocheted doilies: small intricate, hand-painted figurines; knitted wearing apparel - the fine, dainty handwork reflected Granny's delicate nature as definitely ns water reflects an imago. That afternoon passed swiftly as Granny led me on expeditions to China with her little Chinese dolls, chopsticks, incense burners, and little curios; then again we were Second Prize Story 12 by Beverly Ewald off to Alaska exploring Eskimo dog sled miniatures, tiny igloos and canoes. Finally returning to Granny's rocking chair, she picked up a doilie and began to crochet deftly as she related to me how she had come about the proprietorship of the tiny shop on Twelfth Street. You see. she said, summing up her narration, My parents left me with a tradition to uphold. They insisted that if you did something good — to the very best of your ability - - you could one day be proud of your accomplishments and be happy and prosperous in almost any kind of work. Sitting there listening to Granny talk. I could almost see Granny's love for companionship radiate from her aged features. The softly grayed hair, the shining eyes, and smiling lips b etra y e d her staunch faith in human nature. The townspeople all loved Granny as though she were one of the family, and her little store was always alive with people who only stopped to say hello, but always found something to purchase before they left. My friendship with Granny flourished for many years until I moved to a new area to work. During a vacation I returned to Duluth and when I stopped at the shop, a foreboding fear chilled me when I saw that the rocking chair was gone and the corner deserted. Upon inquiry I found that Granny had died the spring before The stm seemed to be less bright as I walked back out to the street. Granny gone—it seemed impossible. Then I thought of the treasured times we'd spent together and I recalled one bit of wisdom typical of her loveable character: If perchance you did inherit a tradition. always carry it on; if you didn't, then don't waste time— start creating one right now!

I've stood for many a good year right here in this very same spot, and I’ve watched many thousands of students and teachers come and go. Many's the old timer that I saw get his first introduction to a typewriter or an algebra textbook. I've weathered some of North Dakota's finest blizzards, along with the rest of the old timers. You say you want to know more about me? Well, let’s start from the very beginning. Way back in 1891. members of the Methodist church in this part of the country decided to build themselves a university. They decided this fine little community of Wahpeton was just the place. So. in that year they laid my cornerstone with the name. Red River Valley University, on it. In 1889, the State of North Dakota chartered a scientific” school in Wahpeton and in 1905 some of those politicians decided I was just the type for that school. So I was sold to the state for $20.000—just half of my construction cost only 1-1 years before. At that time I was the finest building on the campus and I really enjoyed my regal splendor. I contained all the classrooms, offices and even my fourth lloor was used as a dormitory until 1923. Until the early 30 s the second floor room that now is headquarters for the accounting department was (ins hillibridge become well known lo students at SSS during the 19 9 and I960 school years as the coauthor of Speak of the Devil , a regular column in the Dakota Scientist.

I sort of miss all of those assemblies. It gave me a feeling of pride to see all the student body gathering frequently under my stained glass window with the legend, The Lord Is My Light.” I got that window when I was used as a chapel by the Methodist founders of the Red River Valley University. Prior to the construction of the trades building in 1927. I also was home to the printing and electrical departments, which had classrooms and shops in my basement. In 1912 I got some new tenants. The home economics department was moved to my third lloor from Burch Hall. Part of the third floor was also used by George Brackin of the school staff until 1916 for hi:; home. Last fall I got a new feather in my bonnet when the radio trades department raised a television antenna on my roof. It gave me the distinction of being the first place in North Dakota where television was received. Next year when I observe my 60th birthday I'll have a new look”. This summer workmen will complete a $35,000 face lifting project. Every spring I get to feeling rather old. but each fall when the new students begin arriving and look up at my towers. I feel young again—just like the days when I was getting my start. Well, youngster. I guess that's the story. Be sure to drop back this way again soon. 13 HOW BURCH HALL CAMPUS HUB Eating ... A Popular Activity No incentive plan is necessary for a full house at meal time. ONE OF the most popular of all activities at the State School of Science is eating. On campus, students find two top eating spots the Iiurch Hall cafeteria ami the Campus Hub snack bar. At Burch Hall, the main key to eating is balanced meals and economy. For just S8.50 per week, students obtain three full meals seven days a week at the cafeteria. Although some of the frills are sometimes absent, the food is always top quality as well as quantity. Many students make the Campus Hub their dining hall. The many specialties found on the snack bar menu always prove top favorites with the campus crowd. Probably no food item available in this area rates higher with students and faculty members than the brilliant pies turned out daily by Mrs. Achtcr. Campus Hub bak-14 or. One of her top favorites is her apple pie. The recipe Fie Crust: 2'A cups Hour cup shortening 'A teaspoon salt M cup milk lA teaspoon baking powder Filling: Fill emst with apples 1 cup sugar Vfc teaspoon cinnamon XA teaspoon salt 3 teaspoons flour 3 tablespoons melted butter 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice Brush top crust with cream and sprinkle with sugar.

Junior College juveniles include globe-hopping Steve Canyon or “Terry and the Pirates as a part of their liberal education with pretty little homc-cccrs drinking in the match-makines of motherly Mary Worth. Also on the never miss list was square-jawed, straight-shooting Dick Tracy, whose readers are still agog at his Christmas Day marriage to Tess Truhart, his long-time sweetheart. Another tough guy who chose this year to check out of the ranks of the lonely lads was Smilin' Jack who succumbed to Super-Sonic Sable. But the Wildcat bachelors club still had a hero in salty, spinach-eating Popeyc who went right on proclaiming the joys of single cussedness. These and the many other zany characters that are a part of that grand, old American institution, the Sunday funnies, add a touch of fun to the texts, research books, novels, magazines and newspapers of that conglomerate mass of print that Science reads. Radio and Television Although there was a lot of talk about television, only two sets had been operated in North Dakota at this writing. The first was installed at SSS in the fall of 1919. but only relatively poor reception from the nearest station in Minneapolis was to be had. A second installation in a private home in Wahpeton was made under the supervision of the SSS radio trades department, with only a little better reception. Best estimates seemed to be that satisfactory television reception in THIS WAS 1950 Continued on Page 15 Little Things to Remember ALTHOUGH the pages of the 1950 Agawasie . arc brim full of the big events of the year, we feel that somehow many of the little things have been overlooked.

Meanwhile, radio continued to hold its own in this area. A two year-old local station. KBMW, drew a constantly increasing audience with a formula of play-by-play broadcasts of all area sports events, music and news. Four national networks, meanwhile, bid for listeners' attention. Top programs continued to be comedy, with such long-time successes as Jack Benny. Fibber McGee and Molly and Bob Hope leading the list. Music Recorded music, which was continuing its post-war rise in popularity during 1950. was encased among a rash of confusion brought about by two new types of records. Added to the long-time standard 78-rpm discs were new types generally designated as 15's and “LP’s”. The 15‘s came in one standard 7 inch size playing at •15-rpm. while the LP’s” captured as much as 40 minutes of music on a single disc with micro-grooves, and played ut 33-rpm. But there was no doubt that In spite of the confusion, recorded music was continuing, if not growing in popularity. 1950 saw a great revival of New Orleans-bred Dixieland tunes, with many oldies” being dusted off for re-issue. Another trend was the return to popularity of dance band recordings. All through the fourties, vocalists had run off with the top billing in recorded music, but indications were that before the year was out. it would be the bands back in top spot. An indication of how the vocalists were getting left behind was the fact that at this writing, one number stood alone at the top of the popularity list—a catchy tunc without words. It was originally written as a zither solo to provide background music for the movie. The Third Man”, and had rushed to the top of the hit parade ns The Third Man Theme”. In the Red River Valley, the so-called old-time” music continued in popularity, with waltzes, schot-tishes. polkas and the like maintaining a large crowd of fans. Some of the top bands among the college set were lx's Brown. Tommy Dorsey, Tex Benekc. Eddie Howard, Vaughn Monroe and Dick Jurgens, with a newcomer growing in popularity—Ralph Flanagan. 15 What Makes A School Great? MANY visitors come to the campus of the North Dakota State School of Science in Wahpcton every year and when they leave they are bound to have been impressed with something about the school. You would normally think that the individual visitors would be most impressed by a multitude of different things. But strangely enough, most of them are impressed by just one thing—the student body. It's not because they look any different from the students at any other college. It's something more intangible. Technical Education News, a national education magazine, perhaps best explained it: . . something about the mood at this school is different. Something makes the students seem to appear happier, healthier, and friendlier. It is probably because here, at a nominal fee. they can learn by doing that which will be their life’s work—and they are glad of the opportunity. I he State School of Science is proud of its student body for it is because of it that the school has become known throughout the nation as a great school”.

Reverend Henry J. Fry of the Emmanuel Lutheran Church of Wahpcton gave the baccalaureate sermon entitled Gain and Loss Friday evening, while Father George Mehok of St. John’s parish pronounced the invocation and benediction. The Mixed Chorus, under the direction of Miss Esther Schulz, sang Guide Us Through the Night and Built On a Rock”. “I Am A Tree was presented by a smaller mixed group. Bill Mcr-rymon soloed on The Builder and Repent Ye” was sung by Charles Flaa. Lila Lucas accompanied all the numbers. An inspiring commencement message by Dean Raymond Y. Chapman applied to every type of Science graduate. Mr. Chapman is dean of student personnel at South Dakota State College located in Brookings. Opening the Saturday morning program, the Mixed Chorus sang F. H. McMahon’s Red River Valley and Commencement Day. The girls' Triple Trio harmonized on River. River.” President E. F. Riley introduced Wallace Nordgaard who presented the Junior College and Business School graduates to L. O. Frcdcrickson as representative of the State Board of Higher Education. James Horton presented each Trades School graduate for his diploma, which was given him by Mr. Frcdcrickson. The commencement closed with the Mixed Chorus singing a special graduation version of Now Is The Hour. Many activities that take place on the campus after the staff of the A gaivasic has completed the jo!) of writing copy for the regular sections of the annual are normally excluded from the hook. However. the staff of the 19H0 Agau-a-sie decided to hold all stories of spring activities for inclusion in this special section, prepared after school was out. Heavy rains, sunless days and gooey ground put a damper on baseball, track, field trips, picnics and other spring activities at SSS as well as hanging a heavy, dark cloud over student spirits when the weatherman just refused to acknowledge the spring of 1950. A cold, hard winter kept postponing its scheduled departure like an unwelcome relative in the guest room. Blizzards, which closed their eyes to calendar dates, blew their way through the SSS campus well into April and May. supposedly a month of llowcrs. saw the snows continue to spread themselves over the ground. No sooner did the winter days depart than the rains began. Wah-peton luckily escaped the tragic floods which spread themselves throughout most of the Red River Valley, but the rains kept things well wetted down and put a nix on most outside activities.

Finally on the afternoon of May fifteenth the weather broke to send the fellows scurrying out to meet the Jamestown College crew.

The phy cd classes that had planned to master golf had to settle for a strange game that had as its main point swinging a live iron at a small cotton hall sitting squarely on a sponge tee on a plywood lloor protector in the gym. The call was changed from fore to what for? Classwork felt the pinch of unseasonable cold when a May field trip for the biology class had to be called off. The bio bunch had planned to study the flora and fauna at Battle Lake but hopes fell when it was learned that few flora” bloom through the ice and the supply of snow shoes was limited. Department picnics were hampered by lack of sun but made up for it with a show of good spirit(s). The electrical club tried ice fishing while accountants invaded Habcrman's cottage. During the afternoon the sun came out long enough to allow junior college kiddies to play a softball game while a couple of the braver ones purchased membership in the polar bears club by wading in frigid Ottcrtail waters. But that evening the clouds came out again and the collegians were forced to seek shelter at the Balmoral dance hall. Throughout the tense months when students never know where their next umbrella was coming from locals waded gaily to school while out-of-towners kept snug in Burch Hall or the cottages. Bad roads in the area caused many to spend weekends in town instead of the usual treks to gayer spots or to the old homestead for some of ma’s home cooking and a clean shirt. Even the landscape at Science changed. What had been known as the oval became a delightful, splashing pond with Ibsen rising from the surrounding waters like a lighthouse, the nearby road dotted with the picturesque shapes of old Fords, stuck in the goo. The Field Day picnic planned for Chahinkapa Park was switched to the gym but the sun came out warm and bright and students took their heaped-up plates outside and ate on the lawn to celebrate the official arrival of Spring. Chosen by the majority of second year students' votes. Homer Brunsvold, graduating draftsman, attained the title of president of the 1950 senior class at an election held April 12. while Gaylord Olson. Vavia Decker, and Ted Carr polled the votes that counted up to make them departmental senior presidents. Homer, who hails from Alexander. was also selected Trades Department president.

Gaylord Olson, liberal arts major from Dwight, was selected to head the Junior College department. Gaylord became well known in Science circles for his capable management of the 1919 Homecoming festivities. Business seniors chose Vavia Decker, accounting student from Breckenridge as their chairman of the year. Mrs. Decker previously attended Science in 1912, before serving In the WACS during the war. Teddy Carr, enrolled in a business school course, received the vote of the one year certificate graduates. Twinkling Ted has shown his writing ability in the Snorts Review” column of the Dakota Scientist, and his boxing prowess in Golden Gloves bouts for several years. These four senior presidents wielded the powerful hand of decision in making arrangements for graduation on May 26-27. SSS Students Hear President Truman Many SSS students got an opportunity to size up the president of the United States at first hand May 20 when President Harry S. Truman made a brief platform speech in Breckenridge. The president. on a grassroots tour to report on the administration's policies to the nation, spent 15 minutes in Breckenridge while his special train was being serviced.

Stardust” was the theme chosen by Brady and his co-workers for the spring formal. The ceiling of the gym set the atmosphere as it was woven in a novel way with three shades of blue, and hanging from it was a sparkling milky way of stars. Other unique features were the bandstand and punch bowl, which appeared to be setting on a cloud. These decorations were planned and formed by co-chairmen Jo I auder and Bill Weinberger with their assistants Pat McCarty. Bov Cruse. Bev Ewald. Bob Lovell and Art Busch.

In charge of the whole Field Day event was Jay Spoonheim, freshie Liberal Arts student from Breckenridge. Minnesota. Planning the program were co-chairmen Ila I angseth and Ted Erickson, with committeemen Jerry Anderson. Lois Freese, and Paul Johnsgnard. Art McClure, with assistants Herb Kothe and Jim Pithey, arranged details for the picnic dinner. Noyes Corrinc Jordan Cornel stardusted through his version of that sleep producing Rest-O-Mc mattress program, except that in place of sleep, he produced humor. Bev Cruse and Pat McCarty enacted a gay nineties novelty number entitled Dearie.’' The combination of Jo Lauder, Sylvia Wasdahl. Kato Phillips, Gus Lillibridge. and Tex Rickert assembled a spectacular feature of the old time tear-jerker. Father, Dear Father. In feeling for the audience. Sylvia Wasdahl and Willie Weh-lander harmonized on Sympathy. Between acts Willie Wehlander tugged and tugged at a huge rope . . . to pull himself across the stage while slightly inebriated Kato Phillips annoyed Wally Nord-gaard more than a little.

May 17 Spring, 1950, with all its showers, surprise sleet storms and frigid atmosphere, turned on enough sunshine and warm winds for nearly every organization on the campus to have a picnic . . . as well as all the individual picnicking enterprises. Most important outdoor event of all year, however, was Departmental Rlcnic Day. May 17. Formerly each department chose a day. a method which broke up class schedules too severely, so this year for the first time all department picnics were held on the same day. Chosen leaders selected the location and planned the transportation for each section. For students traveling by groups in cars to surrounding parks and lakes in the area, a cloudy morning graciously turned into a sunny afternoon, perfect for festivities. Over open fires, picnickers prepared the lunch each one has brought for himself.

Louis Brady Students Commend Formal Chief PAGE 6 THE 1950 AGAWASIE Sports News Bad Weather Knocks Out Baseball Season Food for Hip Athletes Guests at annual banquet ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 1950 Athletes Honored at Banquet The weatherman demanded full say on Wildcat diamond activities this spring and his vocabulary contained little more than one word —-No!- An outstanding season appeared in the making when indoor baseball practice started in March. Although only foui- lottermen returned from the 1919 squad, a 3-1-man squad reported for pre-season practice sessions. Returning lottermen included pitcher John Rubber Drury, who was undefeated on the mound in four games last season and with a contract to return to the Fargo-Moorhead Twins of the Northern League with whom he finished the 1919 season, he was counted on to load the 1950 Wildcats to new heights. Other lottermen were Oakley Larson, third baseman; Ken Nel-lcrmoe, right holder, and Dave Symington, first baseman. Nine league games were posted on the calendar, with the Cats scheduled to open against Moorhead Teachers on April 25. But at that point the weatherman began issuing his negatives. Snow, rain and Hoods all played their part in giving Skip Bute more trouble than he had encountered in any other one season in his 26 years at SSS. Outdoor practice sessions became almost unknown as March and April moved by. Games were postponed as fast as they came up on the schedule. Officials finally called off official league play for the season. Things looked a little brighter ns May moved into view. Every day seemed to hold the possibility of baseball activity, but the weatherman kept up his steady monotone of negatives. Finally on May 15 the skies cleared and the Jamestown Jimmies invaded the Chnhinkapa park diamond for a double-header. Skip Bute had his problems though. The team had only three outdoor practice sessions under their bolt and selection of players was practically a matter of drawing lots. But plenty of good baseball was in store for the fans. Bubbcr Drury hurled a three hitter in the first clash, but inability to connect at the plate from Jimmie pitcher Jim Berggreen. who also tossed an excellent game in scattering six singles was the Cats' downfall. Jamestown's lone run came in the third inning when Kourajian was hit with a pitched ball, stole second, and came home on Wans- Sixty guests attended the annual banquet for Science athletes held April 13 in the Burch Hall dining room. After a chicken and ham supper staged by Ben Ratzlaff and his crow, toastmaster W. M. Nord-gaard introduced the speakers for the evening, John Hermes and Ed Achter, both Science alumni, former all conference players and captains of Wildcat squads. Hermes. who graduated in 1938 is now coaching at Fergus Falls. Minnesota. while Achter of the class of '29 is manager of the local North ner's single. Science had men in potential scoring position several times— the seventh inning being the only frame in which they never got u runner as far as second base. A total of nine runners were stranded on the bases. Jim Flaa started for the Cats in the second fracas and was touched for five hits in the seven innings he hurled. In the extra inning Drury set down the Jimmies with one safety to gain credit for the win. Joe Ford, all-state basketball player, gave up only two hits in the’ first six ‘innings, but was American Creamery. Representing the SSS coaching staff were basketball mentor Ed Wcrre. boxing director George Brackin with assistant Al Hau-sauer and head coach Earl Bute, who awarded basketball and boxing letters to 16 players and to cheerleader Clayton Kulseth. Grid Captain Dean Knapp and Felix Rickert spoke for the teams that wore the red and blaek in the various sports this year. Also on the program were President Rilcv and KBMW sportscas-ter George Kauffman. shelled from the mound along with Thompson and Hotlestad by the determined Cats in their last inning rally. Hotelstad was charged with the loss. The Cats made short work of the game in the eighth frame. Kothe drew a walk, and Drury followed up with a single. Frederickson then came through with a Texas League single to score the winning run before the Jimmies could retire one batter. Thus began and ended the 1950 baseball season for the Wildcats. Due to the miniature season, no letters were awarded. THE 1950 AGAWASIE PAGE 7 Leaf, Urseth Awarded Track Letters, Place At Conference Meet Two Science trackmen won letters this spring after scoring the Wildcats' three points in the N’DIC meet at Jamestown May 26. They were Cliff Urseth and Jim Leaf. Like their colleagues on the Wildcat baseball team, the trackmen had little opportunity to get in any outdoor practice and the winter-like weather forced cancellation of all track meets except the often postponed conference meet. Cliff Urseth. a first-year printer from Grand Forks, managed to pull down a fourth place in the half mile run. while Jim Leaf, only returning track veteran, took third in the high jump. Jamestown won the conference title with 50 points, while Dickinson was runner-up with 41 s. Student Whist Whizzes Compete in Tournaments For School Championship Campus whist whizzes had four opportunities to prove their skill at the game during the 1919-50 school year. Two all-school parties featured whist-playing sessions. The first was held on February 15 in the gym. Winners for the evening were Rachel Rundle, second-year printer, and Myron Schlcnkcr, first-year electrician. The booby prize for the evening went to Joanna Lauder, first-year Junior collegian, and Darrel Koenig, second-year refrigeration student. No record of winners was kept for the second all-school whist party which was held in the Campus Hub on April 4. Campus card addicts also had two round-robin whist tournaments in which to demonstrate their skill. The play-offs of the first of the two tournaments were held in the Campus Hub. with Homer Brunsvold and Wes Nelson scoring a victory over the Krancc-Schmid team. Kranco and Schmid defeated Wilbur Whitaker and Kenny Mohs to win the first flight, while Brunsvold and Nelson downed the Rolt-Schall combo. Twenty-four two-man teams were entered In the tournament, which was managed by Jim Hansmann. The all-school whist championship was conferred on Roman Morin, first-year radioman, and Ker-mit Eliasson, first-year sheet metal student. The team defeated Kenny Mohs and Willie Whitaker in the championship round. Morin and Eliasson were presented with trophies for their victory. President •’.

Lipstick Smeared Candidates Join Wildcat Lettermen's Club April 25 S-(Slaughter) Day for would-be Science frcshic Lcttcrmen dawned bright and early Tuesday morning, April 25 as the fortunate'’ (?) few who were to be initiated into the inner circle of the S Club came, much against their will, to the gym headquarters at 7:30 to go through a process of thorough beautification. Pint-sized billboards bearing” the question, Me ... A Man?”, voiced the opinion of everyone who gawked at the lipstick-smeared aspirants to the elite SSS Society as the apache S-Men wandered weakly to their classes wondering what could happen next. Tough Tex Rickert assisted by burly Bubbcr Drury showed who had the upper hand when they imprisoned the eleven athletes in the locker room after school. What! No supper, fellas? The initiation ceremony officially began at seven when old and new (hungry) lcttcrmen assembled in the gym to perform what amounted to a three ring circus. The initiates emerged on the long end of a short rope as their senior letter winners played havoc with egg whites, mushy pies, salt —in general it was tough on their taste buds . . . sunny dispositions too!

Because of his condition, Mr. Anderson had retired in June. 1917, from the Science staff of instructors after teaching in the drafting and estimating department for twenty years. Known to colleagues and students as Andy. he will be long remembered not only by associates. townsmen, and his own students. but by many others, for his cheerful vigorous personality continually won friends for him far beyond’ the ranges of his work.

Running through this advertising section of the I960 Agaicasie you will find a group of pictures representing some of the people uho have made news at the State School of Science during the past school year. The pictures are. for the most part, reprinted from the col-urns of the Dakota Scientist. Several of the same pictures you will tind in other sections of the annual. The group is not intended as a H' jo’s Who or any other honor” selection. Instead they are being reprinted here as typical people who were a part of SSS this past year. Since it’s the students and faculty that constitute the main feature of the school, the editors of the Agawasie feel that the pictures are a titling part of this section. They represent the main connection between the school and the businessmen who have supported the I960 Agaicasie—and thus the school—through their advertising. Along with the pictures is the complete student list taken from the Tiles in the registrar's office. Like the pictures, it represents the feature of the school which is the main link with the advertisers. The 1950 Agawasie staff is proud of the fact that this yearbook contains a greater volume of advertising than any previous volume. We feel that it is evidence of greater interest on the part of businessmen in this area in the activities of SSS students . Without the support of the advertisers. publication of this yearbook would have been impossible. The students of SSS have an opportunity to repay these businessmen for this increased support— through their support of the advertisers represented on these pages. We hope YOU won’t overlook this opportunity. You'll Want lo Remember Your College Days One sure way to keep contact with your school is through the State School of Science Alumni Association. With membership in the association, which is open to every student that has attended SSS one quarter or longer, you will receive the Dakota Scientist regularly along with publications of the association.

As director of the largest division of SSS. he has been responsible for much of the progress of the school. Through the success of his efforts, he has become nationally known as one of the top trades educators In the country. But his success is not limited to his work at SSS alone, for the many long hours he has devoted to the social and civic welfare of the community have also paid great dividends. His leadership. has spelled the success of many projects. But probably his greatest success of all is his ability to win friends. Among students, fellow faculty members, townsfolk, educational leaders and the others who have had occasion to know him, ho is first thought of and most respected as a personal friend.

And in these plans are several big opportunities for advertisers who want to reach the 1.000 students, faculty members and their families who will be readers of the publication. The 1951 Agawasie is the only means of reaching the entire campus community with a single ad. No other campus publication accepts advertising. Don't overlook this opportunity. Have your advertising plans ready when the advertising representative of the 1951 Agawasie calls upon you.
