Our Tour to SIGVART JULIUS STEEN , ROM the Viewpoint of 'irendering unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's , we, the Class of 1942, sincerely dedicate this WEDGE to Professor Sigvart Iulius Steen. This book is dedicated in partial recognition of the high standard of work which he has accomplished and sustained throughout the past ten years, not only as head of the Music department, but as ct most earnest faculty member, serving as CI sound adviser in the general administration of the college. He has been generous With his time and talents, and has always evi- denced c1 genuine desire to serve whenever and wherever he has been called upon to do so, and through his efforts the way to National recognition has been made much easier for Northland. We, the Class of 1942, feel that this book is indeed ct small token of the appreciation which we owe Professor Steen. I Dr. J. D. Brownell B.A , Amherst College, 1910 1.

We have known him as our dean, whose whole- hearted support was given to those activities which would best serve the interests of his student body. Our senior class has known him intimately for three yearSe-intimately because he went far out of his way to put right the personal difficulties which the stu- dents brought to himi No time given to the information sought by a student seemed to him to be wasted. It was not only individual attention that he gave, but specialized, continued and repeated heipi That he knew each one of us tar better than we realized, was evidenced by the insight and understanding he showed in helping solve our problems We remember in Dr. Hitchcock the keen, subtle sense of humor which showed itself in his wellwchosen chapel readings, and the sharp wit of his contributing comments. We remember that on bitterly cold days he often called the students who had difficulty in reaching school, and personally reassured those who were necessarily absent. We remember especially the Very real enjoyment he showed at the students' activitieseat our football games, and at the spring tug-of-wars. He stood in the hollow, encouraging first one team and then the other, but perhaps more often the freshman group! while he jammed his hands in his pockets and grinned with secret excitement. We remember the round upbraidings he gave the men upon occasion, when fraternity mischief or Hell Day pranks got the better of good judgment. We remember how he helped with little things, when he, especially, could be counted upon, above everyone else We remember his participation on Ivy Days, when he helped to plant vines which he enjoyed so much. He liked to see green things growing, and each new spring season seemed to give more pleasure than the last. He walked a great deal, especially on bright days, and on sunny fall afternoons would watch the football teams scrimmage. We can never realize how much Northland College meant to Dr Hitchcock, but we do realize and appreciate how much he meant to each of us. His helpful interest, his mag- nificent unselfishness, his accomplishments and his love of his work, have become an inseparable part of Northland College and of its students.

This administration building, named for E. P. Wheeler, one of the founders of the college, has remained the nucleus for academic work offered at North- lcrnd. Wheeler Hall is the oldest of the campus buildings, but through mod- ernization and additions it has kept pace with the demands of present day necessities. On the third floor a lounge has been built for the girls, and the old read- ing room has been converted into C study hall for the Civilian Pilot Training course. In it a full size cub plane has been placed to aid in C: more efficient study of its mechanical details. A new Carnegie room has been completely furnished to meet the needs of music theory classes, and is opened during tree periods to anyone wishing to listen to selections from the very complete music library. These as well as other changes have made Wheeler c: more efficient and enjoyable place in which to study. The foundation blocks of Wheeler Hall ore studded with class numerals, placed there by C1 succession of Iunior Classes during the Ivy Day ceremony which takes place at Commencement time. The ivy which com be seen climb- ing over its walls is reminiscent of those Iunior Classes who planted them. Where they have gone, whether success has been theirs or not, Wheeler Hall and the ideals for which it stands, has undoubtedly been one of the helpful influences in their lives. MEMORIAL HALL WOODS HALL Woods Hall is c1 combination of various facilities necessary to a small college. In the basement we find the gymnasium. The other half of the basement is given over to the craft work shop which furnishes Ct great share of the student employment and enables them to learn how to make various articles from copper and silver, as well CIS Christmas greens and other things. On the second floor are the Chemistry laboratory and the Biology labora- tory and lecture rooms which have been remodeled and expanded to meet the demands of increased enrollment. On this floor too, is to be found ct dark room fully equipped with photographic material. As CI part of the botany laboratory a green house has been built and maintained for resectch purposes. The third floor of Woods Hall is devoted to dormitory space for upper classmen. It is noticeable thctt most of the men staying here are athletes and all are sons of Allah. The government is in the hands of the fellows un- der the supervision of the Dean of Men. Between the Memorial HCIH men and the Woods Hall men, there has been the usual rivalry, especially noticeable at the beginning of the term. This is carried out in the spirit of fun and in CI Sportsman's wcty. Built in 1907 of white cement blocks, Woods Hall stands as ct monument to the memory of Mrs. Annie L. Woods, one of the noble women of Boston. The work carried on at Woods is in keeping with aims of its founder. LIBRARY Books Leave Old Library Bottle Neck at Library Door? Books Ready to be Stacked HISTORY OF NORTHLAND In the middle of the 19th century the mid-western states were flooded with settlers who, after building homes, establishing churches, and organizing into some form of government, began to dot the prairie states with colleges. But up here among the huge pine forests were few settlers. It was the devel- opment of the lumbering industry that brought settlers and industry to the great North region and along with them men for leadership like Charles H. Pratt, Rev. Wa1ter Ellis, and Missionary E. P. Wheeler. By the 90's this north region was mature enough in its organization to think of its education. PRESIDENT M. J. FENENGA Charles H. Pratt of Grandview, which was then known as Pratt, was promoting the idea of a school to educate the youth of this new region. Walter M. Ellis, pastor at Tomahawk, made a statement that he had talked with E. P. Wheeler of Ashland and Mr. Pratt about the possibility of a school. Mr. Wheeler wrote to A. W. Burr of Beloit in the spring of 1891 stating that Mr. Pratt had sug- gested the founding in the river bottom of the White River a school in which students might earn most of their way. Mr. Burr made a trip to that place in the summer but returned home shortly feeling that it was not a very pos- sib1e project in the Bay region. Mr. Wheeier was undaunted and continued to promote the idea of establishing an academy 1ike the one at Beloit. On August 5, 1891, a committee appointed by the Northwestern and Winnebaga Conventions ot Congregational Churches to canvas the matter, met at Pratt in response to the enthusiastic invitation of C. H. Pratt. Approxi- HISTORY OF NORTH LANDhCominued mately forty delegates met in the gospel tent of the Wisconsin Congregational Conference. Mr. Wheeler described the location of the tent as high on the brow of a hill overlooking the great valley. The door of the tent was covered by a huge bear skin, the bear having been killed and skinned only a few days before. Mr. Ellis told of a 321 pound rutabaga in the tent which was presented as evidence of the great fertility 01 Pratt tor a location. This dele- gation heard numerous addresses by old settlers, ministers, and educators from other schools. Their one aim was to establish a thoroughly Christian academy in order to develop the highest type of young manhod. While they DR. J. D. BROWNELL wished to prepare young people for a thorough college course, they also wished to incorporate industrial and commercial features into the proposed program. The institution was to be co-educational and open to all races. Thus these men prepared the way which led to the Articles of Incorporation, which, signed on October 1, 1891, and recorded on October 8th, made the North Wisconsin Academy a legal entity. The location had not been decided on, however. Mr, Pratt wished it to be located at Pratt, but that invitation seems to have been dropped as tact- fully as possible. The site at the head of Ellis Avenue across a great ravine was finally selected and a sum of $30,000 for buildings was to be provided as well as the site by May 19, 1892. The tirst-year classes were held in the old Ashland bank building which is now occupied by the Lake Superior District Power Company. By Septem- ber, 1893, Wheeler Hall was ready for occupancy The next seven years were hectic ones. The panic of 1893 had hit Ashland, then a great center of lumbering activity, and the surrounding region so badly that the contributors to the Academy could no longer keep up their subscriptions. In 1899 M. 1. Fenenga was installed as principal of the Academy faced by a deficit of $21,000, which he cleared up by 1900. A great Jubilee was held that year to celebrate the burning of the mortgage. The enrollment had been down to six men when Mr. Fenenga had come to the rescue and now it was all of 70. HISTORY OF NORTHLAND-Continued The Academy offered four years of high school work as well as a prepara- tory year. The tuition was $30 a year. Board was $2.50 a week it you did not drink coffee and $2.75 if you did. Rooms were from 60c to $1.00 a week. There were two literary societies and a Christian Association which guided the religious activities of the students. In 1903 W. C. Hitchcock was called as a teacher of Greek and mathe- matics. 1n Ianuary, 1904, a campaign was started to raise $8,000 to build a gir1s' dormitory. That same year Mr. Fenenga was invited by the Education Society to speak in New Eng1and on behalf of the work being done and thus the series of Northland Visits to New England were started. On August 4, 1906, Mr. Fenenga expressed the wish of M. T. Dill, an enthusiastic contributor to Northland, to install co1lege work. At the state conterenec Mr. Fenenga gave a report in which he convinced the delegation that this would be a strategic venture. The convention appraised the work of the Academy and endorsed the establishment of Northland College. In 1907 the trustees sanc- tioned the establishment of college work and Mr. Fenenga was named the first president. As the Academy had begun existence confronted by the panic of 1893, the college likewise began confronted by the even worse depression of 1907. In 1914 Mr. Fenenga resigned and I. D. Brownell was appointed his suc- cessor. Mr. Fenenga had first found Dan Brownell working in a lumber camp. He had finished his Academy course at Ashland and, because of his outstand- ing work, he had been retained as an instructor. Later he had gone to Ripon and Amherst and had then been recalled to Northland as teacher of English. He was selected as the man most able to carry on the work done by President Fenenga. The burning of Wheeler Hall in 1915 caused a great loss. Academic work was carried on by utilizing all available building space on the campus and at the high school. The building was rebuilt in conformity with the design of the original structure. During the World War there was a great decline in enrollment. At one time not one man was enrolled in the college. On February 17, 1919 Woods Hall burned. That same year brought a constructive event as well. George Lewis came as teacher of history and librarian, and began the work of building a college library from the small room of uncatalogued books. Northland had a third great tire in April of 1926 when the girls' dormitory, Dill Hall, burned. In true Northland spirit the crisis was met, and within twenty-tour hours all the girls were settled in Ashland homes to remain for the duration of the year. The cornerstone for Memorial Hall was laid during the commencement activities of that some year. The Craft Shop was established in 1930 to aid in Northlandls financial struggle. In 1932 the Academy was discontinued. Somehow Northland got through the last depression. In fact, it even managed to grow in size and fame. The year of 1939 brought a great stir in the routine of Northland. The drive tor the new library was started. The summer of 1940 saw the breaking of ground for the building and this commencement will see its dedication. On March 14, 1941, there were many heavy hearts at Northland for on that day Northland lost one of its truly great, W. C. Hitchcock, Dean Emeritus. The Choir left that same day on its tenth anniversary tour which was dedi- cated to Dean Hitchcock to whom it owed so much. And so, we find Northland today still perpetuating the ideals on which it was founded. This may be the end of this particular history of Northland, but in reality it is only the beginning of what is to come in Northland's his- tory. RUTH BIOIN, '42.

We elected George Barnes to lead us. He was soon after replaced by Daniel Slick, who did a good job of getting us safely through our first year. Though we lost the Flag Rush to those almighty sophomores, we did defeat them in in the Tug O' War and set a new record for fighting. Our sophomore year was even more successful. Though we had dwin- dled to about half of our original number, we had a fair amount of represen- tation in choir, basketball, and all the other organizations. With Raymond Reiber as leader, we pursued greater heights, now that we had changed from ugreen to the Uknowvit-all'l color of a sophomore. As luniors we began to feel the pangs of dignity and played a different role in campus life. Though our number was decreasing, with Raymond Reiber re-elected as our leader, we endeavored to keep up our record. In turn- ing to the more serious activities of life, one of our accomplishments in our Junior year was the publication of the 1941 HWedge . Now, as we are about to close the book on NCollege Lite we look back to those good times that are gone forever. They are years that will never again be experienced, but we cannot help but see the improvements we have reaped from our mistakes. With Louis Kolonko as our president the twenty of us who are left have attempted to finish off our careers as well as we can. Graduation will bring those honors we have strived tor, and we hope our record at Northland will be a lasting one.

McShane, R, Miller, B Olsen Class History The Class of 1942 entered Northland in September, 1938, with eighty mem- bers. Edward Christensen lead us through our first year of college life and new experiences. In class rivalry, we were not able to stand up against the older and experienced Sophomores, but our class was exceptionally well rep- resented in every college activity. A considerable number of our men were out for football, and the C1CISS members participated in the choir, Student Life, and debate 9 There are many of us who will recall the Freshman sleigh rides during the winter. We certainly can remember the informal dances afterward and those tasty hamburgers! Another social success of the Freshman class was the torma1 dance, in the spring! which was rated as being outstanding. In our Sophomore year, we elected Roy Peterson as president. The tug-of- war proved that our class did not have the physical strength, but that de- termination was not lacking. We succeeded in signing our 11ok on the Freshman paper and presenting it to the student body. At Commencement time, the Sophomore class decorated the Congregational Church for the Bac- calaureate sermon and received many favorab1e comments on participation in the event. This was an inspiring finish to our Sophomore year. During the past year, we have continued to participate in school activities. Many of our members have joined the newly organized German club as well as other organizations. We played a different role on the campus as Juniors and concentrated our efforts toward our goal - the publication of the HWedge . Thus we present this Wedge for the year 1940-41. Iames Mc- Shane, both as president of our class and editor of the Wedge, has ably been our leader in the publication of this successful annual. He has been assisted by Alfred Beck and Arthur Spoolrnan. CLASS OF 1942 -C0ntinued. Climaxing this year With an exceptional Junior Ivy Day, we look forward 10 our Senior year.

Adapting our- selves quickly to the routine of college life, we elected Lawrence LaBounty to lead us through CI very successful year. This year we have donned the garb of the Sophomores and proceeded to keep the position which we set up as Freshmen. Entering into the life of the school, we no longer have to take a Hback seat for anyone. This is illustrated by the fact that six of our number are members of the varsity foot- ball squad, seven of them are members of the basketball quint, and through- out the rest of the social and scholastic organizations of the College we are well represented.

However, we feel certain that had we had the opportunity to participate in either, we would have come off victorious. Following out the traditions set before us, we entered a float in the Home- coming parade, and took active interest in making the event one of the most successful which Northland has ever witnessed. One of the outstanding events of Homecoming was the election of a Sophomore for Queen, and we were especially proud of the fact that Mary Jean Margenau was chosen for that position. With Leon Villard succeeding Lawrence LaBounty as our president, we are closing another year of our College life. We look back on our achieve- ments with justifiable pride, and into the future with the optimistic view of further success in our Junior year.

In a very short time these Freshmen proceeded to fit themselves into college life by finding comfortable living quarters, registering for classes, finding work in the various college departments, and participating in social activities. Early in the year we organized ourselves as a class by holding a meet- ing and electing officers to guide us through our first year. Attending the traditional mcollege mixer on our first Friday in Ashland, we proved we were good mixers in spite of the fact that a bit of homesickness prevailed among our members. Homecoming at Northland found us doing our bit and, inexperienced as we were, we managed to fall into the spirit of festivity and contribute a float for the Homecoming parade. Circumstances over which we had no control prevented the annual flag rush, but we feel certain that the colorful rock standing in front of Wheeler Hall would have had a brilliant coat of green paint. Our collection of tire materials resulteel in the largest bonfire ever built in the college ravine. Our support of the football team was one hundred percent strong as evidenced by our attendance at games. The basketball team also had its share of Freshman cheers. We gave brawn and brains to both football and basketball squads, for there were Freshmen boys who were very much interested and participated in both sports. We are anticipating that our Freshman Day early in May will be another successful event in the lives of the Freshmen, and once again we will show our superiority over the Sophs by winning the tug-ot-war. Our dance should be an enjoyable one. Our beginning has been a good one and we hope to follow through with the completion of four years of successful academic training, social activity and the making of friendships that will last for a long time to come.

This year the Philaletheen Fraternity, the oldest men's society on the campus further added to its imposing list of distinctions by becoming the largest of campus societies. Despite its size, however, Philalethean operates as O unit, efficiently and harmoniously. A prize-winning float in the Homecom- ing parade was its first triumph. At the close of the first semester, by dint of careful planning and hard work, the Phis promoted a successful Post-Mor- tem dance. Swinging into the last half of the year CI perfectly organized group, the Phis, to CI man, contributed unselfishly of time and labor, and the resulte the Phi Formal, cm unforgettable night of nautical splendor which ranks again as the most colorful event on Northland's social calendar. Represented on the football and basketball teams, in the choir and band, and from their ranks supplying 011 of the members of the Debate Team, the Phis established themselves as able supporters; and the number of Phi men who occupy positions of responsibility in campus activity attests to the qual- ities of'leadership of Which the fraternity may boast. The Philalethecm fraternity, looking proudly back upon the pest year's achievements, awaits the arrival of September and the opportunity for further as well as greater tasks and triumphs.

NORTHLAND COLLEGE NEWS BUREAU An important factor in the Iite of Northlond College is the College News Bureau with offices on the second floor of Wheeler H011. The Bureau is staffed with several c011ege students, among whom are Dorothy Thompson, Eleonore O1son, Hope Bersie, Alex Stoponkus, Horlo Ferris, and Iohn Ferris. Under the direction of Professor Harold B. Kildohl the News Bureau cir- culates a weekly column to tour dai1y papers, a weekly news-1etter to sixty weekly papers, feature stories and special releases to all daily papers in the area. The Bureau is also agent for both the Associated Press and the United Press services. In 1939 the News Bureau secured photographic services and has since deve1oped the scope of coIlege publicity by means of pictures and illustrated stories. During the course of CI single year, the Northland College News Bureau releases upwards of 1000 articles, stories, pictures, etc., most of which reach print in one or more of the Chequomegon Region papers. A11 publicity related to choir, bond and other organizational activities is handled through the News Bureau staff. In CI recent count, the number of Clipped stories on the 1941 choir tour exceeded two hundred. Most of these items appeared in metropolitan newspapers throughout the Middle-west. The News Bureau releases annually a mimeogrophed booklet containing data on o11 football p1ayers and aspirants and a similar one on the bosketbcdl men. Information for the service of sports writers on the daily papers is con- veniently located in these booklets. During the past year the booklets have been accompanied by newspaper mots of 011 the p1ctyers. C1ippings from various newspapers covering college publicity items dur- ing the post four years are on fi1e in the office of the News Bureau Q NORTHLAND COLLEGE CONCERT BAND PERSONEL OF THE NORTHLAND COLLEGE CONCERT BAND Leon Villard, clarinet Robert Lynch, clarinet Franklin Pool, clarinet Neil Hilmer, clarinet Icmes McShane clarinet Robert Weigle, clarinet Iohn Verbraken, clarinet Anna Lee Stenslcmd, clarinet Mary Iecn Margenau, clarinet Barbara Possum, clarinet Annamae Larson, clarinet Alice Neer, clarinet Merlin Matthews, French horn John Bobb, French horn LaVctun Crowell, French horn Kathleen Patnode, French horn Kent Tupper, bass Warrend Fredrick, bass Daniel Slick, bass Eugene Berger, bass Berneice Morey, trombone Harold Sleight, trombone Alan Johnson, trumpet Philip Fuller, trombone Donna Olson, flute John Ferris, Flute Donald Benson, trumpet Steve Rich, trumpet Duane Borst, trumpet Gilbert Vickers, trumpet Jack Goodwin, trumpet Harlo Ferris, trumpet Eleanor Newman, bassoon George Moore, bassoon Iohn Haugen, saxaphone Arthur Paulson, saxophone Beverly Prentice, oboe Beatrice Miller, timpcmi Kauko Lustig, bass drum Lyman Pool, snare drum Clinton Miller, baritone Philip Fuller, baritone Polly Canfield, cello Betty Harmon, cello Alan Dewart, cello NORTHLAND COLLEGE BAN D The increased emphasis which was placed on instrumental music this. year, led to the development of a concert band which has become an im- portant factor in the many-sided program of activities at Northland. With a personnel of fifty, under the baton of Mr. Steen, a balance was attained which permitted the effective performance of difficult selections from the works of composers such as Offenbach, Rossini, and Wagner. Several outstanding instrumental soloists were developed, who, with the assistance of the college male quartette, added exceptional color and variety to the concert program. On February 2nd the band left on a week's tour giving nineteen concerts which covered the north central part of the state, and came to a successful close with the home concert at Dodd gymnasium. The band appeared at Merrill, Amigo, Ladysmith, and neighboring cities, and received favorable comment. The tour was well planned and ably managed by Mr. H. B. Kildahl, In, to whom a great portion of the band's success is due. This year's tour was the first ever made by a Northland College band, and the excellent results point to its repetition in coming years. It is the hope of the music departmeiiiit that future conditions will favor a sustained program of instrumental instruction with the aim of producing, with each succeeding year, a finer and more versatile band.

Sousa NORTHLAND COLLEGE CHRISTMAS PROGRAM FESTIVAL NORTHLAND COLLEGE ORCHESTRA The Northland College Orchestra tor the 1940 season was composed of thirty-two accomplished musicians, most of whom had had musical experi- ence in high school, and was under the direction of Professor Sigvart Steen. Although this is a comparatively small number to constitute a college orches- tra, each section was amply represented, with the result that a full, embodied orchestration was obtained. In former years it was customary to invite out- side players to perform in the activities, but in the last two years only North- land College students have participated. This made it entirely a college affair. The orchestra accomplished its main purpose, that of accompanying the choir very effectively in the Messiah, as well as in its own right. It is the sincere hope of many that the orchestra will become a permanent institution at Northland, as permanent perhaps as the choir. V i Notes from the Department of Music The Concert Series of tour concerts was again sponsored by the depart ment of music with the Christmas Program, the Band concert! the Choral Festival, and the Homecoming Choir concert filling the annual schedule.

After CI series Of tryouts the students were selected as members Of the Choir that made the initial tour throughout Wisconsin in the spring Of 1932. The May Festival Chorus, patterned after the annual festival at Northfield, Minnesota, made its debut that same year. With the arrival of Mr. Steen, the musical interests in Ashland were greatly stimulated, and the vested THELMA HALVERSON, H. B: KILDAHL, JR., Soprano Soloist Basmess Manager CHOIR-Continued a cappella choir has participated yearly in such musical events as the May Festival Chorus, the presentation of Handel's uMessiah , and the recent Christmas programs. The choir has also appeared in such places of note as the famous John Hancock Hall in Boston, Orchestra Hall in Chicago, Con- stitution Hall in Washington, D. C., and as guest solo choir in the St. Olaf May Festival. The first three years the tours were concentrated in and around Wiscon- sin and Minnesota, but in 1935 and 1936 the choir made extensive trips throughout the New England states, where the sacred, awe-inspiring music of the choir was highly praised. For the next two years the choir made tours in the Midwest, throughout Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The tour of 1937 culminated in an appearance with the Duluth Symphony orches- tra, in Duluth, Minnesota. A tour was arranged in 1938 for the unique com- bination of the band and choir, composed of an identical personnel. An ex- tensive tour of New England was made again in 1939, and in 1940, which included singing at the World's Fair, sightseeing at Plymouth Rock, and Washington, D. C. . Under the inspiring leadership of Mr. Steen and the efficient manage- ment of Mr. Ki1dah1, the choir has again passed another milestone, and plans are under way for another interesting and successful year. 1luCh credit is aiso due to Miss Thelma Ha1verson, who for the past six years has had the position of instructor of voice. -,ia -+7,e.a Welcomed by the largest crowd it has drawn in this City, and which vir- tually filled the high school auditorium to capacity, the Northland College Choir last evening presented a concert that was high1y gratifying to C111 lovers of good Choral music in the a cappella form and tradition.

Highest praise went to the 50 young singers and their director, Professor Sigvart I Steen, as they were compared favorably with the leading groups of their kind in the country. An excellently trained organization, the choir sings with precision, accurate intonation, good tonal quality and balance. Oshkosh Northwestern, March 17, 1941. Just as the choirs from St. Olaf and Concordia colleges bring favorable recognition and no little musical renown to their schools, so does the choir of Northland College win recognition and praise for the Ashland school. Rarely have Racine residents been privileged to hear such a splendid musical otter- ing as this a cappella Choir presented last night, for they sang the most diffi- cult selections with masterful technique, and the gymnasium rang with ex- quisite harmony. Racine Iournal-Times, March 22, 1941. HA program of Wide variety and a choir Characterized by outstanding so1oists were impressions left with a large audience last night. The reverence of the music, which hypnotizes when presented naturally and taithtuliy, does not allow for criticism. Daily News-Index, Evanston, March 26, 1941. 4 Professor Sigvart Steen, director, and the choir of torty-seven voices presented a concert that would have first rank in musica1 circles anywhere in America.

The afternoon treats were on the house at MERCER, thanks to Mr. Kendrigan. Our first concert was dedicated to the memory of the late Dean Hitch- cock. The Patnode sisters, Kathleen and Evelyn, made it a family affair in their reunion at Antigo. We wonder, Lonnie, how you kept your cur- rent and Tex apartegood man!

That's right, girls, keep it in the family! By the way, I wonder if Lavon still has her eye teeth. WEDNESDAY, MARCH iQ-WHITEWATER Not that the Choir was hungry, but some of us did overeat at the supper table, when they passed that delicious chili around for the eth time. As usual, by the first week of the tour circumstances cause the pairing off of members. Eleanor Newman seems partial to Iirnmys. I'm sat- isfied, now! said Reg; Hill. CHOIR CALENDAR--Continued THURSDAY, MARCH ZUe-FTt ATKINSON The girls were disappointed to find that Howie Weiss was not at home, but Ruth Bjoin and some of the girls consoled each other in a game or two of bowling. Plates were whisked off the table, candles scraped, and order restored by some of our domestic girls. A few of the Choir members sat through HGone With the Wind again.

Fern Sibbald, Harmon Bro, and Betty Zimmerman were also at the concert. Mae Reese is still meeting rela- tives and wondering how those sailors drink their coffee out of those big cups. I suppose one could get used to a mug . . . How about it, Smitty? MONDAY, MARCH 24eOAK PARK We wondered why Art Spoolman was so excited today, but found out that it was Betty Harmon's birthday. Is that a secret, too, Betty? Today was Field Day for the girls, with the Hgobs and gobs of men around. Johnny Bobb kept an eye on Virginia Carlson today, because he says you never can tell what will happen. Was it true that Berniece Morey volunteered to demonstrate her cultinary adeptness to the U. S. Navy? Wouldn't that be a mess. We were thrilled singing in OrchesA tra Hall . A . TUESDAY, MARCH ZSeEVANSTON Polly Canfield eyed the student waiters at the church dinner this even- ing.

No one can figure out why Iuney is so thrilled at getting those daily letters from someone named WATW? The boys' quartette got a head start as far as scouting is con- cerned, much to the chagrin of the other choir men. FRIDAY, MARCH 28eLA SALLE That was a nice little armtul that Ed Christensen had out tonight. He said that he was complying to the rules, where you are extremely con- siderate of your hostess, etc., and so he took her out with him. Merlin Matthews showed his colors and squired one of his former flames to- night, also Do they still pronounce your name wrong?. SATURDAY, MARCH 29-DAVENPORT From now on, children, remember what your mother told you about not speaking to strangers. Even though they are triends-of triendsJ Lavon and Lonnie spent a quiet evening at the movie, ,while some of us went dancing. Our peaceful slumbers were interrupted by a high-school vic- tory marchthrough the streets. Edna Wu displays'a new pair of shoes. We hope that you buy shoes that fit you, Edna, because Elaine Sinrud hasn't found a buyer for her new ones . . . yet. SUNDAY, MARCH SOeMOLINE AND CLINTON My, these sore throats are certainly contagious! Ruth Bjoin and Mary Wallenfelt are down with them today, and Eugene Berger thought he was coming down with pneumonia at that rate. On the way to Clinton the acrophobiacs got a thrill when we went over that high, narrow bridge After dinner numerous couples were seen strolling down the main street, and we bumped into the latest couple: Iean Lindblad and Gil Vickers.We'11 wait and see it that magician can bring his girl back. Mr Steen recommends tobacco Juice. What brand do you prefer, Lavon? MONDAY, MARCH sieGENESEo The latest attraction to the canine world is handsome Reg Hill, who nearly lost his coat belt in the struggle. That must be the way he gets his morning exercise. Miss Halverson and Berneice Morey are deciding whether to raise Persian cats or hounds, and after last night consider themselves as authOrities in that particular field. CHOIR CALENDARe-Continued TUESDAY, APRIL leQUINCY This is no April Fool's joke! Mary Wallenfelt and Elaine Sinrud scraped up a few old acquaintances , and beat them off with clubs. They stood guard over each other at night, and were just Hitching'l to get to Quincy. Neil Hilmer and namesake became very attached to each other. Ioke or no joke, George Moore and Art Spoolman had an unfortunate experi- ence with an antique bed. I guess they were floored! Betty Harmon pushed out the storm window, and Iimmy MCShane dropped the screen out of the window. Tho it's the first of April, we aren't fooling. WEDNESDAY, APRIL ZeST. LOUIS i We braved the smoky city of St. Louis, the City where our choir shoes were made. They say it the shoe fits, put it on, but what to do if it doesn't, or if you can't get it off. That's a tight squeeze. Greetings from Mary Anne Turner, former Northland student. Tonight was a great night for the girls and their dates, and after a close inspection was made by ' the faculty, the evening was enjoyed. i i I t THURSDAY, APRIL SeSPRINGFIELD We seem to have struck a rainy season, however our spirits are not i dampened. After the church supper Lavon Hagen got her exercise by i climbing some poles. Maybe she is a fireman, because she's always on I the right track, I mean truck. Does she burn? Lincoln memorial and home prove of interest to all. Singing in the capital proved thrilling. FRIDAY, APRIL 4ePEORIA, Singing in the rain. That's us! At the concert the basses could lift their eyes, but not their heads, because they'd be a'noggin. Who is Mr. Speel- man? Do they mean Art? A posse rounds up Iack Goodwin, Jimmy McShane, Eleanore Olsen, Eleanor Newman, Betty Harmon and Bonnie Crowell, who lost their way around in Peoria. Miss Halverson insists on picking up a Bachelor, and we don't mean a degree. Had they been formally introduced? Does he use a line or a formula, Miss H? SUNDAY, APRIL BeBELOIT Camp Grant! Here we come! However, Eileen Van Guilder is Hdefeated on the last leg of the tour. We thought the throb was in her foot, but it must be in her heart. Mr. Williams and Emily Bobb surprise us here, which needless to say calls for a celebration. The Roosevelt juke-box in the lobby of the Faust Hotel proves a novelty. Alan Trego Iohnson and Frances Siebel were Htwosing it tonight. Also, our director is still iiblorid blitzkrieging it. This seems to be quite an attairi Woody makes a handsome soldier. One never knows where H. B., Ir, will show up, does one, Ruth? CHOIR CALENDAReContinued SUNDAY, APRIL B-eBELOIT The clouds began to lift as we came near Wisconsin. In the afternoon audience at Rockford were Art Gage and Robert Bing Iohnson. A sur- prise dinner was given the Choir by Mr. and Mrs. Kildahl, but the ab- sence of Mr. Steen was noticed by all. The Choir sang Happy Birthday to Frances Siebel, and later to George, our busedriver. Who could pos- sibly have more relatives than Betty Hansen She met some more today. The concert at Beloit was greatly inspired by a very large audience. MONDAY, APRIL 7ePOYNETTE A surprise in store! Eleanore Newman Climaxed four years of concert singing with a bad case of the mumpsl Timmy McShane was carefully put under observation. Reg Hill took a beating as we neared Poynette, but we promised not to tease him anymore. Did you notice the girl swoon when Lonnie sang his solo tonight? TUESDAY, APRIL 8-MADISON An enjoyable afternoon was spent in Madison in a variety of ways, but Art HDuck Paulson would rather listen to the Four Inkvspots swing The Java live. Paul Phillips, Stanley Tones, Porter McClaine, Clifford Han- son, Corinne Forster and other former Choir members were on hand to meet us. Many of the sorority houses opened their doors to members of the Choir. We were not enlightened by the fact that cooperation is motivated by personal interest. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9-HOMEWARD BOUND We left Madison at 8:00, and headed homeward, weary and travelworn, but anxious to be again on familiar Ashland soil. At Brule, Shelby and Mary Ellen Fink jumped into the front seats, and vowed to be the first off of the bus. Nobody expected us home so soon ,and we surprised them. Broke tfinancially, but not spirituallyi, tired but happy, we fell into the arms of our friends and relatives, and talked long into the night, relating our adventures. We certainly had fun this year, didn't we! See you next year. . . . Bye. . . . FOOTBALL The Northland College football team went through the 1940 season with- out winning a single victory, but the squad was much better than its record indicates. Lack of reserve strength, both in number and experience, was the big handicap to the team. The first eleven was studded with good ball play- ers, but eleven men cant play sixty minutes of football against teams com- posed of over thirty experienced men. The Northland grid squad tackled the speedy Virginia I. C. Greyhounds in the first game of the season with but nine days of practice behind them. The game was much more closely fought than the score indicates. Weakness on pass defense cost the Hilltops the ball game. The first home game against Eveleth I. C. was another disappointment for the Northland fans, when a fast stepping Tiger machine rolled up a big score in the second half on a tiring N. C. eleven. River Falls State Teachers College was just a little out of Class this year, but the boys put up a fight until the final whistle as the teachers poured it on in an effort to run up a big score. The Northland squad came out of that bruising battle with a number of bad injuries to key players, which hampered the team throughout the rest of the season. True to the Northland tradition, the orange and blue squad came through with a Hbang up game against Marquette Teachers in the highlight feature of Homecoming. We almost upset the dope bucket, but lost by a touchdown. After the supreme effort of Homecoming had failed, the team became overcome by a defeatist attitude and lost the two final games to Itasca Junior College and the Michigan Tech Engineers. Prospects for next year are much brighter as the present squad loses only one member through graduationequarterback Alex Staponkus. Coach Gemme is hoping and praying a bumper crop of Freshmen football men to bolster the returning lettermen. ALEX STAPONKUS OBADependable, hard worker. A fine tackler and CI good quarterback.

CIMRLES C ukelse Manager BASKETBA LL The Northland cage squad of 1940-41 tcdtered early in the season, found itself and went on to pile up an impressive record, Coach Gemme was greeted by a wealth of good Inctterial at the beginning of the campaign with returning varsity men and good freshmen prospects. A short conditioning period between football season and the first game handicapped the squad and accounted, in part, for the slow start. The opener of the college schedule pitted the Hilltoppers against an unusually strong Eveleth I. C. quint. First game 'ijitters and cm Hoff night made things look bed for Northland, but George HRed Barr kept the team in. the running until the final quarter by CI spectacular scoring spree. In a return, game with Eveleth, the Tigers were just Htoo hot on their home floor and Northland suffered its second defeat. In the last game before the holidays, the Northland squad gave the Hilltop a pleasant Christmas present by winning c1 close one from an always tough Ely I. C. outfit. After the Christmas recess, the boys started right where they had left off and upset our arch rivals, Marquette Teachers in CI thrilling finish. Indica- tive of the spirit and fight shown by the team throughout the season, was the display against Marquette. Trailing by eight points with six minutes left, the : team pulled off Ct rally which overtook and defeated CI highly touted Mar- quette five by C! 45-42 count. From here on in, the team really clicked and knocked over Ely I. C. in a overtime, Michigan Tech, Duluth I. C, and dropped a tough one to Marquette. The season was concluded with a conclusive win over Michigan Tech. Coach Gemme's squad presented a well balanced attack with Q lineup of impressive scorers. Reserve strength played an important part in the suc- cess of the team. The outlook for next year is good unless Uncle Sam claims, more of our men. Barring such events, we are looking forward to another successful SGCISOD. .32? vi 4 ' - T a a if r 3 g I eJ J n x '4 a N s r t - T? s :V.

Under the program administered by the Civil Aeronautics Authority, groups of ten students each semester have taken instruction leading to Pri- vaite Pilot's Certificates. $C1asses meeting four nights CI week under the direction of Dr. Kenneth Geode of Northland's department of Chemistry and Physics, and flying in- structor, Ioseph Robb of the Chequamegon Air Service, covered intensively theiground-course subjects of history of aviation, civil air regulations, navi- gation, meteorology,, and theory of flight, engines and instruments. At the Ashlond Municipal Airport flying instruction given by Mr. Robb consisted of a minimum of 35 hours in the airy devoted to practice in all phases of air- craft operation commonly encountered in private flying. Highlights for the pothicipants were the first solo flights, the cross-country flights to Ironwood, theytincd test of their skill in the presence of CI flight inspector. ?:Flying equipment for Northland's CPT program has consisted of two Lycoming-powered Piper iiCub monoplanes supplied by the Chequctmegon it AiriService under government contract. And here it might be well to explain thdt the whole CPT program, nation-wide in scope! is entirely government- i sponsored. The only expense to enrollees is the fee for a rigid physical ex- amination, transportation to the airport, and insurance. Several thousand college students between 19 and 26, with at least one year of college work, have learned to fly in CPT courses at hundreds of schools throughout the country in the past two years. First intended to stimulate the private indus- try through the production of private pilots, the CPT, with its primary and secondary courses, now also provides preliminary training for those interested in military flying. But primarily, the program still remains one for the training of civilian pilots. , I w, t AKLQ. - , ' x e72?! J ' x I e 1 ! - I h e1 . ' k x s e , ,. I; ,' 7' ,x 7 - t 1' I I ?

The flyng record at Northland as compared with other institutions is one 'of which we necessarily must be proud. Free from mishaps and Hwasheouts , the program resulted in satisfactory completion of requirements by all par- ticipants. A11 honor, praise and credit we give to the splendid work of Mr. Robb and Dr. Goode. And to the pilots-inetrctining, our admiration for their sacrifices, perseverance, and enthusiasm.

Girard With the entire student body imbued with the spirit of cooperation, and very ably directed by Daniel Slick, president of the InterrSociety Council, Homecoming this year proved to be one of the most successful achievements of the year. Queen Mary Jean Margenau and her two attendants, Mollie Bradbury and Mae Louise Adams, ruled the day's activities. The parade, one of the largest which Northland has ever sponsored, was evidence of the great amount of planning and work which resulted in its being also one of the most spectacular. Every department of the college was represented, including music, athletics, sororities and fraternities, as well as scholastic organizations. Under such circumstances it was indeed an honor for the Gamma Nu Sorority to win the prize offered for the best float exhibited. It was unfortunate that our boys lost the football game with Marquette, but the fight which they showed, and the spirit Which prevailed both in the bleachers and on the gridiron, more than made up for the deficit recorded on the score board. Due to conditions it was impossible to have the flag rush and the snake dance, which are traditional, at this time, but the unquestioned success of the earlier events of the day, the huge bonfire in the evening, and the homecoming dance leave a high standard for any succeeding year to surmount. COLLEGE PRINT SHOP Northland College aims to aid its students in every possible way to pay their college expenses. To this end the college print shop helps a num- ber of students. Some, further advanced in printing skill, are enabled by work in the composing or press room, to defray all their college expenses. A sizable crew is steadily employed throughout the school year, and a few are retained during the summer months, as the shop operates throughout the year, and does a considerable amount of job work tor outside firms. Besides printing all the various jobs used in the different departments of the college, the shop prints a number of publications, the Northern Light, issued monthly during the school year, with a circulation of 7500; The North- land Alumnus, a quarterly publication that has reached the sizable circula- tion of 1600. Copies of this publication are mailed to all former students and alumni; the student annual, the Wedge, that unfolds the students' activities in pictures and words; the Student Life, a four-page publication, edited by the students trieweekly and circulated among the student body; and the Northland College catalog, an annual booklet. The shop is under capable management and hopes for additional modern equipment and expansion of business in the future. m5 CRAFT SHOP The Northland College Craft Shop has a three-lold purpose in its opera- tion. Its original or basic purpose is to provide employment for students to help them to pay their college expenses. The Craft workers begin on a time basis so that they are earning from the beginning. Most of them progress rapidly and are soon sufficiently skilled to be placed on piece work which steps up their earning capacity. The second objective of the Craft Shop is educational in character. Work in it develops skill of hand and eye, originality and artistry in design, and contributes a life-long value in the development of a creative instinct in a worth-while hobby. In fact many students have found experience in the Craft Shop a direct road to a permanent vocation. The beauty and fine quality of Northland craft workmanship, also provide an important promo- tional value in attracting general interest in the college . During the past year, under the foremanship of Louis Kolonko, the Craft workers completed more than three miles of evergreen testooning at the Christmas season for street decoration in Ashland and several other Wisconsin and Michigan cities, an unusual example of utilizing natural resourcesethe common, simple things so often disregarded. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 55.03.19?
