They started the year off by carry-- ing on the traditional Freshman-Sophomore rivalry which is one of the out- standing events at the College. At the Homecoming this year the Freshmen took a very active part in the various activities such as the Flag Rush, etc. They also entered their own original float in the annual Homecoming Parade. March 15th was Freshman Day and this was noticeable by the absence of Freshmen from classes, the Freshman flag which took the place of the Ameri- can flag, and by the pranks played by the Freshmen on the Sophomores. On. this day also the Freshmen published the Student Life, and as is traditional. the Sophomores stole the paper and marked their OK on it before returning it to the Freshman Class. To climax Freshman Day a formal dance was held in, the chapel. Having concluded a successful year under the leadership of their President, Lawrence LaBounty, Vice President, Bernard Iosephson, Secretary and Treas- urer, Mollie Bradburyl the Freshmen are looking forward next year to an even, better one.

Though our last season was not as suc- cessful as in the past, Coach Gemme is looking forward to successful teams in both fields next season. x ' JOE KACZMARZ Fullback A , e 7, it, xx n1r 7ft Joe's toe kept the ienemyxon their lheels all season. With his passing, run- ning, and defensive ability added to his punting, Ice is really an outstanding fullback. Watch his smoke next year. JOHN NESTLER Center Iohn's playing would mctke any coach sit up and take notice His Work on offense was impressive, and he WCIS CI terror on defense. We are glad he will be here for three more years. DON UPTHEGROVE Guard With the past season of college ex- perience, Don will undoubtedly be c bulwark in the line for the next three years. BERNARD ROMAINE Tackle Bull played CI vicious game When called upon, and will be Q great factor in future Northldnd victories. ALEX STAPONKUS Quarterback Coach never hesitated to send Stumpy in when the going was tough, for he could be depended on to turn in c: good game when called upon. He is due for ct first string berth next fall. WALTER FRENCH Guard Though he had little previous ex- perience, Frenchie came through like ct Veteran, earning himself c1 berth on the starting line-up. He has one more year: TED SPANIAK Halfbcxck Speed cmd deception were his chief stock in the game. As cm open field runner Ted is hcxrd to beat. He has three more years. JOHN MORRIS Tackle Iohn was CE good mom on both de- fense and offense, and could be called on to play sixty minutes if the need crose. MILTON BURDICK Tackle Milton wcrs a steady player who was always in there fighting. We are sorry he is graduating this year. RAY KANDLER Tackle Ray's weight and terrific drive opened highways through the enemy ranks. He has three more years . KEITH WOODY Halfbctck Keith wcrs Ct bit skeptical of college ball, but after the first game he blos- somed out cxs a good halfback, and could be called on to play at end. IACK CAVILL Guard lack was or quiet, efficient player who played CI hard, cool game through- out. He has two more years . JOHN GLIDDEN Quarterback lack had a great selection of plays which he used to a great advantge. Calling plays from the blocking back post, he led the interterers in opening the holes. We are going to miss him next year. KEN PARIS End Ken could be depended on to turn in a stellar performance in every game. He had the distinction of scoring North- land's first touchdown last season. We regret seeing him leave the squad. CLIFFORD HOSSELTON End Mo played sixty minutes of hard, clean ball in every game last season. Though he was smalll he just couldn't be taken out on any play. It will be hard to fill his place next year. RAY REIBER Tackle Though he had only one year of football previous to this year, Ray proved that he could hold his own with the best of them. Next year is his last at Northland. IA CK KULL Guard Though he was the lightest man in the line, Iack's fight and charge gained him a first string berth. Our only re- gret is that he was not discovered earlier in the season. RAY STROM End Strom played a good game at end, covering punts downtield in grand style. He will be with us next season. DICK MAKHOLM Tackle Though he was out with injuries most of the season, Makholm showed that he could play good ball, and should see a lot of action next year.

Though it is a relatively small group, it is well organized and the members work efficiently and harmoniously together. With Patricia Speidel as our president, we had c1 full and active year. Two rush parties were given one of them CI formal dinner dance at the Menard Hotel. We also worked together with the Alphas in sponsoring the homecom- ing tea in honor of the returning alumni. 7 At the beginning of the second semester eight new pledges were formally initiated into the sorority. Meetings were held weekly, consisting of entertain- ment as well as business. As the year closes, we are already looking forward to a more successful year next yebr.

The morning was spent in decorating iloats for the parade, which was held after dinner. Though no prizes were offered, many beautiful floats were entered. The rest of the time was diverted among many activities, some of them being the pep meeting, snake dance, bonfire, open house, and the tea. Though we had a poor season in the win and loss column, we went into the game against Itasca with our Chins up, determined to end the season with a decisive Victory. The game just started when we had our first touchdown, as a result of a punt which was blocked by Paris and recovered by him in the end zone. Two more touchdowns resulted in quick succession, making the score ZOeU at the half. During the half the flag rush was held, which ended in a tie. The game resulted in a 20--9 victory for Northland. The weekend festivities were closed by the annual homecomnig dance which was held at the K. C. Hall this year.

Beulah Spoolman Treasurer ...................................................................... Betty Temple Alpha Sigma is the oldest sorority on the campus, having been started in 1918. As in the past, the activities this year have been numerous. One of the: first events of the year was the Alpha-Gamrna Tea, the purpose of Which was. to acquaint the Freshmen with the upper Classmen. Alpha Sigma's first social gathering was held in the form of a picnic at; Buckiand's cottage, where Mrs. Buckland proved her ability as a very gracious hostess. At Homecoming, Alpha Sigma participated in the parade and assisted, with the tea given in honor of the returning alumnae. Two rush parties were given during rush season. The first of these was a hay-ride, after which an entertaining evening was spent at the Newman home. The second party was a buffet dance held at Guild Hall. An impressive formal initiation was held February 19, in the Memorial Hall Parlor, at which time ten girls were admitted into the sorority. The bi-weekly meetings of Alpha Sigma have been varied and interest- ing. Aside from the regular business sessions, there has been time for special entertainment such as book reviews and musical entertainment furnished by some of the sorority's talented members. Athletic Board Sitting: Bartholomew, Hosselton, Adams, Glidden. Standing: Coach Gemme, Kolonko, Hoyer, Williams, Peterson, I. T. Kendrigczn. The athletic board is composed of two N representatives from each of the major sports basketbodl and football, two women representatives, two non- N members, the athletic manager, athletic coach, and the director of athletics. Wntaz Sophomore Class History The Sophomore Class of 1939-40 is undoubtedly one of the finest in the history of Northland College. We don't pride ourselves as much on physical as we do on intellectual strength, as can be shown by the fact that the Fresh- men tied us in the annual Flag-Rush, and by a comparison of the mid-year grades in Which the Sophomores stood head and shoulders above the Fresh- men. If one must mention the hair-cutting escapades of the past autumn, we don't blush in shame, but feel proud that we didn't indulge in such bestial activities. Superlatives can be exhausted in describing the beauty and verve of the Sophomore girlsewe undoubtedly excel any other class in that respect. And, as far as the gentlemen of the class are concernedewell, comparisons seem unnecessary. CLASS OFFICERS Roy Peterson ....................................................................

Here GEORGE BARR tCaptaint Guard George has only one more year to play for Northland and will undoubted- ly continue his stellar performances. His playing is the answer ot any coach's prayer. In spite of an injury which benched him for one game, he emerged high point man of the season. Red is one of the best players Northland has ever seen. WALTER FRENCH Guard Walter emerged with better form and finesse this season than in any past season. He was not a flashy player, but was always consistent. It this season's play is taken as an indication, Walter will really finish his college basketball career in tine style next year. DUANE BORST Forward Another Freshman, but a dead eye on the floor. He made up for his de- ficiency in height with speed and set- dom missed his long shots. Here's to three more successful seasons . CRAIG POSSUM Center Craig won a berth on the starting five this year, and his playing showed that he deserved it. He has shown great improvement since last year, and will be an asset to the team for the next two years. FLORIAN KACIEUKEWICZ Guard Although he was injured in football, Kuzzy was a valuable man in the tight spots, acting as a steadying influence. He was missed when he quit basket ball. BERNARD IOSEPHSON Forward Although he was only a Freshman this year, Io soon caught on to our style of ball, and was one of the smoothest ball handlers on the floor We're for- tunate he'll be around for three more years. ALEX STAPONKUS Forward Stumpy substituted speed for height, and played 0: clean, hard game. Next year is his final year. FRANKLIN TOMENENDALE Forward Although Pappy did not see much action this year, he produced the goods when called upon, and should be among the starters next year. JOHN WILLIAMS Guard Iohn put his heart into every game. His height was c1 decided advantage to the team. We are sorry to lose him through graduation. KEITH WOODY Center Keith came here With little experi- ence but after seeing his determination, speed, and ability, we can say that he has the stuff to be a top notcher. The Cratt Shop L The Craft Shop has completed the most successful year in its history under the capable direction of the shop foreman, Louis I. Kolonko. Many new novel- ties in the line of copper articles were added to an already large assortment of useful and decorative articles. In addition to this artistic copper work, the Christmas season saw the boys making tine wreaths and supplying several surrounding towns, as well as the city of Ashland, With hundreds of yards of evergreen roping to be used in street decorations. Besides learning handicraft skill, the boys employed here also earn part of their room and board. The Print Shop The college print shop, under the capable direction of Mr. R. B. Achilles, has developed CI really progressive business in the past few years. This de- partment does all the college printed material, including the Northern Light. Alumnus, choir publications, the Wedge, the annual catalog, and also many jobs for local business firms. In addition to being an aid to the school, the print shop affords many students cm opportunity to learn the printing trade, CIS well as to help them, defray some of their school expense. Bro, Spoolmcm, Professor Gunberg, Miller, Iohnson, Georgeson. The debate squad had a very successful year under the leadership of Professor Gunberg.

C., University of Minnesota, Eveleth, Hast- ings, Concordia, Nebraska Wesleyan, Loyola University, Uni- versity of Chicago, North Dakota State, Minnesota State, Dick- inson, cmd others.

The year was one of the most successful ever. Beta Chi pledged and initiated twenty-four men, the largest group ever to be taken into the fraternity. The new men were ambitious and enthusiastic and contributed greatly to the success of all fraternity undertakings. This year the Post Mortem was sponsored by the Betas for the first time. Financially and recreationally it was one of the big successes of the year. Already we have sponsored two shows, and the second Annual Beta Carnival was attended by over a hundred students. It consisted of several preliminary wrestling matches by campus men and a feature exhibition bout between the one-time lightweight state champion, Pat McIntosh and lack Glidden. Reviewing the year once more again we must recognize it as one of its :most successful. Many of the responsible positions on the campus are filled twith Beta men. They have represented the school in great numbers in all the fields of sports and music, and have not been lacking in their intellectual pursuits. The Betas are now making plans for the Annual Beta Banquet and are looking forward to an even better and successful year next year.

Louis Kolonko The Northern Light The Northern Light is a monthly bulletin published by the Board of Trustees, giving the high lights of Northland College activities, and is edited by Presi- dent I. D. Brownell. The purpose is to keep the friends of N orthlcmd College in- formed of items of interest taking place at Northland. The number of copies has grown until it has now reached lover seven thousand copies and the mailing list is steadily increasing. This publication is sent to all sections of the country, including several foreign countries. The Northlancl Alumnus The Northland Alumnus, edited by Miss Gladys Uline, Assistant Registrar, is G quarterly publication, giving items of interest regarding the college and former students. , Freshman Day Freshman Day was on Friday, March 15 this year. It was definitely noticeable around the classrooms, as no freshmen attended classes on that day. The Freshmen put on the chapel program, at the conclusion of which the freshman edition of the Student Life was handed out by the Sophomore Class, with the traditional red OK. on its front page. The rest of the day was spent in a rather quiet fashion. Many of the Frosh spent the afternoon decorating the chapel tor the Freshman Dance, while some of the others spent their time giving unfortunate Sophomores snow baths. The traditional Tug of War between the Freshmen and Sophomores was postponed, due to adverse weather conditions. The events of the day closed with the Freshman Dance, which was held in chapel. Music for the dance was furnished by the Phi Orchestra. Junior Class When we began our career at Northland there were sixty-nine of us, the largest Freshman class to enroll up to that time. We were a zealous and am- biticus group and will probably be remembered as the record setters. We were rather whitewashed in our combats with the Sophomores. We did, however, set a record of fighting five long minutes before we were pulled into the icy creek. We lost the flag rush by a score of 8 to 6, but got our' revenge by winning the intramural basketball tournament Our Sophomore year we were out for vindication. We elected Ray Reiber as Class president. From the very tirst day we were successful in teaching the Freshmen their place. For the first few weeks we were tonsoricd artists. Later we won the flag rush by a score of 6 to 1, and set C! record by staging the shortest tug of war in college history by winning in forty-five seconds. We were again victorious in the intramural basketball tournament. This year as juniors we reelected Ray Reiber as president, but are play- ing a different role in campus activities. Dignity has taken the place of child ish things and class struggles. Our project this year is the publication of this annual, and it has been a success. Now we are looking forward to next year when we shall have attained. the highest statusuthat of being c1 Senior.

However, the fraternity is not content to rest on past laureis, and is continually eriVing to make greater progress. This year the Christmas tree decoration on the campus was done by the Phi's. The Phi's have also inaugurated the annual donation of useful books to the North- land College Library. This year the Phi's came forward again With a bigger and better Phi Formal, Which carried the honor of being the outstanding dance of the year. The traditional Phi Outing was a success, the day being spent at one of the nearby resorts. The Phi's took part in many of the college activities. All of the debate team but one were Phi's. The Phi's also produced the Phi Swingtette, the Phi Chorus, and the Phi Dance Orchestra, Which all played a large role in campus activity. There was also an abundance of Phi's to be found on the football iield, basketball floor, and in the Choir. The fraternity is already making plans for a bigger year next year.

We were Victorious in all of our rivalries, winning both the flag rush and the tug of war.

With Lois Bartholomew as editor and lack Glidden as business man- cger we published ct very successful Wedge. Now we are ready to enter the world as college graduates.
