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.
