E Deminer as enrolling officer and adviser, is considered by some authorities as the most extraordinary development in the history of the American school system. It has grown from 9 schools in 1900 to about 525 at the present time. This almost phe- nomenal growth can mean but one thing. It is fulfilling a service that has been sought for since the development of our school system. That is. the Junior College affords an opportunity for those students who arc undecided as to their life's vocation, and for those who wish to later transfer to another school. There is perhaps no other established curriculum, which takes in a wider scope of subjects, or prepares one for a broader field of vocation, than the Junior College. Upon the completion of the general Junior college course one has obtained a foundation in chemistry, mathematics, social science, liberal arts. English. and a number of electives such as foreign language, history, and farm machinery, if one wishes to take tip that line of work (mechanical engineering for instance). For a major in a subject the student is permitted a choice from a large group. The General Junior College, if one includes certain suggested subjects, may be applied as a prerequisite to cither chemical, electrical, mechanical, civil or mining engineering. It may also, with a few alterations, be applied to law. journalism, pre-dental, or pre-medical work. For the commerce student, a diploma is offered for the completion of two years' work. This is spoken of as the Commercial Junior College. Another distinct advantage to the student is that the Junior College credits are more readily accepted by other schools than credits of indi- vidual or unrelated subjects. The Junior College, a course which parallels in a large part the North Dakota State Uni- versity Junior Division curriculum, therefore, is readily accepted as a boon to the students and consequently a boon to the dear old S.

The course was di- vided into two parts, one. called the long winter term began November 2 and ended March 26; the other, began January 4 and ended at the same time, called the short winter term. All farmers of sixteen or over are qualified for admittance regardless of previous education. The purpose of this course is to give farmers the essential knowledge and skill necessary to operate the modern motorized farm. Acetylene and electric arc welding, automobile and tractor repairing, and subjects having to do with power farm machinery were taught. The course was intended primarily for not more than 12 students, and opened November 2 with but 2 students. However the course proved to be so popular that 30 students were taking the course in its entirety or some phase of its work before it had long been in operation. The practical side of this course has been demonstrated by the students, who used dis- carded and salvaged materials costing the school practically nothing. Some of the equipment built by those students include stationary and portable electric arc welders, welding tables, lamp frames, hoists, and other items of heavy equipment desirable in a modern shop. The Auto Mechanics club is an organization consisting largely of members enrolled in the Farm Machinery course. Its purpose is to improve the abilities of the members in the line of work in which they are interested. The club held meetings every two weeks at which there were open discussions on such topics as: late developments in welding, automobiles, electric motors, arc welding, and modern designs of automobile bodies. In February a demonstration of welding was given for a chapel program. Members of this organization also attended a welder's demonstration and convention at Aberdeen.

Virginia ----- Features Vacuity Supervisor In keeping with the reorganization policy of the school administration, the En Aye has also undergone some drastic changes this year. In fact, so thoroughly has the campus news paper been renovated and improved that the only thing remaining from the publication of by- gone years is the name. Instead of a four-column sheet issued irregularly about six times a year, the En Aye is now a five-column paper printed on regular news-print and published twice a month regularly. New body type, head schedules, makeup and editorial policies have been added. A new page size is also in use. These changes were put into effect by R. T. Schonberger. new faculty supervisor for the paper, when he took over his duties last fall. Featuring the publication year have been special editions on three occasions—Homecoming, during the high school reception in May. and at Commencement. The editorial policy, as announced in the first issue of the new year, follows: “We in- tend to ‘play up' student activities—things social, athletic, dramatic, musical and academic— to a fuller extent than has been done in the past. Criticism, and constructive criticism only, will be offered when necessary, but we expect to proceed under the impression that the N-l campus is a good place to be.” This policy has been closely followed throughout the year. Staff duties were handled by a small group of students under the supervision of Mr. Schon- berger. who acted as editor. Now that the new regime has become established, plans of the student council call for an editor to be elected in May to serve for the following year. As time goes on. a full staff will be worked up composed of upperclassmen in executive positions and freshmen holding down the minor posts. In this manner, there will always be experienced students coming up to vie for the editorship as each staff head graduates. Since no advertising is accepted by the En Aye. the paper carries more actual news ma- terial than any other four-page college weekly in this part of the country, regardless of size. All students and alumni are sent free subscriptions to the paper, and copies arc sent to all high school libraries in the state and to all high school seniors in the southeastern part of the state.

McMillan School President Recording Secretary— FLORENCE KEMPF The purpose of the Student Council as set forth in the constitution is to have control of the expenditure of the student activities money assigned to them and to initiate and supervise these student activities. The Student Council shall have the power, in conjunction with the faculty sponsor, to nominate the editor of the l:n Aye: also the editor and business manager of the Snitcher. Nominations for editorship of the I:n Aye and Snitchcr arc to be made not later than May I 5. The editors chosen will serve the following year. These are the official duties of the Student Council. A secondary purpose of the Student Council is to act as an intermediary between the student body and the administration of the school. Suggestions made by the students may in this way Ik presented to the administration by the Student Council and a pleasant and har- monious school life may be maintained. ' The first major project of the Student Council for the year 1936-1937 was to resurrect the Snitcher which had not been published since 1924. It was through their efforts that the Snitchcr staff was appointed and the work started. During the year they did something that had never been done before when they edited and had printed the Student Directory and Hand- book. At the close of the year they instituted another innovation in the first annual High School Senior Reception for the seniors from the seven surrounding counties. Interspersed among these activities were four outstanding school parties including the Thanksgiving. Christmas. St. Valentine's, and Easter parties. These have been characterized by good orchestras, beautiful decorations, and. more especially, wholesome good, times. —IDA PFLUGRATH. FLOYD ACKFRT. Thirty THE SNITCHER.

Its purpose is to train young people to detect and to develop musical talent of the community in which they are to live, its motto being music is the language of the soul. It was first organized in 1904 in connection with Company A by E. R. Mosher. Commandant of the company. The continuous and neces- sary change in personnel from year to year makes it impossible for any great advancement, but does not detract from the enjoyment of practice. Its number varies from twenty to thirty-six. The band is under the leadership of Mr. Ackert. The term concerts were held January 13 and April 22. Clarinets: Jay St. John.

Male Chorus arc tl e selected vocal ensembles of the campus. Offsprings of these organizations arc a few Sweet Adeline quartettes, a quin- tette and several vocal soloists worthy of the title. The completion of the above-mentioned folk, together with some thirty or forty volun- teer minstrels of the student body, comprise the N. I. Choir. This organization usually has a membership of seventy singers. For the past several years the N. I. Choir has given a Vesper service of Christmas music on the Sunday preceding the Christmas vacation. Among our other activities of the past few years we can list: taking part in assembly programs, assisting at recitals, giving Morning Musicals, a series of sacred programs, guests of out-of-town P. T. A. organizations, etc. One N. I. Male Quartette made over tlrrty out-of- town. over-the-state appearances in a term. We make annual Good Will tours, calling upon many of our high school friends. From our membership have come forth many who are holding leaching positions via batons. Be it folk song, college song or the Hallelujah Chorus, we strive to reflect that side of college life in which young people arc moving joyously, earnestly and hopefully on to the realization of a high purpose.

Mr. Banks and Miss Kravig ap- pointed a committee to look into the matter of organizing a commercial club. The committee did some preliminary planning, and then called the group of commercial students together, who agreed that they should like to organize a club. A few weeks later the group met again and chose tin- Commercial club as the name for the organization, and elected officers. The constitution was read and turned over to the execu- tive committee to make some changes before adoption. The constitution was finally adopted at a meeting of the club in March. According to the constitution, the membership of the club shall be composed of students taking at least two commercial subjects. There arc to be four standing committees in the club, the program, social, membership, and publicity committees The officers of the club and the chairman of each standing committee shall comprise the execu- tive board. The club holds bi-monthly meetings at such places as are designated by the execu- tive board. Tile Commercial club was organized to perform certain benefits for the business students, such as outside dictation and typing drill, contests with other schools, putting out a commer- cial paper and of course, social affairs, such as parties and dances. Most of the year has been devoted to the formation and organization of the club: how- ever. on March 10. they presented a play in chapel, and on March 31. the group enjoyed a Kid party.

V. C. A. on this campus was organized in 1906 as a charter member of the United States organization. The purpose was to help young women to grow up religiously. Meetings were held twice a month on Wednesday evenings. These meetings were of varied types. On some occasions we had special speakers and other times the programs were given by the girls themselves. Some of our outstanding programs were on Hobbies. Charm in Dress. Customs of Europe and our April Fool's program. The year was begun with a tea. followed immediately by a membership drive. After the formal reception of the new members into the society, a party was given. Two joint parties were held with the Y. M. C. A.—the Christmas party and the Valentine party. The organ- ization was responsible for an assembly program where they held a “Kangaroo Court' . As a crowning event the Y. W. and Y. M. held an annual jo:nt picnic. The organization also participates in state conventions. In the spring of 1936. delegates were sent to the Y. W.-Y. M. conference at Fargo. North Dakota. In the fall of 19 36 dele- gates were sent to Grand Forks to serve on the planning board for the spring conference. As a major project for earning money the S'. W. C. A. is publishing a cook book. They arc using favorite recipes obtained from the present members and the alumni. The Y. W. C. A. has been under the direction of Miss Miriam Onstad.

E. COMBELUCK. M. W. HECKMANN. S. D. SU MMONS Advisory Committee The Y. M. C. A. is the largest men's organization in the school, having a membership of between thirty and forty. It is a member of the state and national associations, and is gen- erally represented at all state conventions and also at the annual Lake Geneva encampment. A get- acquainted stag party is given sometime during the first two weeks of the fall and winter quarters, to which all men of the school are invited and assured of a lively time. Wednesday evening of each- week is set aside for inspirational and devotional meetings of the association. The meetings are usually addressed by some one of the professional or busi- ness men of the city or occasionally by some member of tin.- faculty. Individual problems aris- ing in a student's life are dealt with and alleviated as far as possible at these weekly meetings. Once or twice each term a joint meeting is held with the Y. W. C. A., and a joint picnic is held near the close of the school year. The organization maintains a room in the basement of the library in which study tables, a radio, and other articles of convenience to the men of the school arc found. In recent years, the organization has sponsored a Major Bowes Amateur Hour which is presented as an assembly entertainment. This all-school talent review was a decided success this spring, having about fourteen entries. Three local business men. who served as judges, awarded first place to the Hoosicr Hotshots”, the Y” entry. Second place was taken by The Dixieland Band , and third place by Margie Maride. The purpose of the organization is to promote the general welfare of the student body as expressed by the Red Triangle Spirit. Mind, and Body. It stands for a clean, wholesome atmosphere about the campus: and any man will find a friend among the “Y boys. Standing committees are appointed each year. The chairmen in 1936-37 were as fol- lows: Program committee. Jacob Zimmerman: membership committee. Floyd Wclander: Bible study, Benjamin Zimmerman: social committee.

In the fall quarter the members send out invitations to tlx new girls coming in. When the girls have accepted these invitations a form of initiation takes place after which a banquet is given. This banquet is one of the outstanding social events of the year. This year the Delta society has had many wide and varied programs as well as social events. One of the outstanding meetings was the joint meeting with the Y. W. C. A. during which charm was tlx main topic discussed. Other programs and business meetings were also held during the year. Besides tlx banquet other socials such as dances, games, and cards served as entertain- ment. z s a money-raising project the Delta society gave a card party at which they enter- tained about sixty guests. For its major project this year the society is awarding a scholarship to the most deserving N. I. coed. This scholarship is to lx awaided on tlx basis of scholarship, character, participation in school activities, and popularity. This year the Delta Epsilon Phi has an active membership of thirty-four members.

Affairs given in the fall term are largely traditional. A rush party to entertain girls new to the school is held, if possible, in the home of a member. This is followed by a re- ception honoring the pledges at which the alumnae furnish the program. Most impressive of all are the beautiful ceremonies of the initiation. Outstanding among the events given in the winter term were the buffet supper followed by the amateur hour in which every pledge participated: the formal tea for the actives given by the pledges. The program following the tea had as its theme problems of etiquette and featured a panel discussion of charm . A dramatic presentation of Riley's poems illustrated by living pictures, a program in which every member participated was repeated for the school in chapel and received much commendation as a worthy and entertaining project. Among the events of the spring term were a program featuring problems in parliamentary law. a May breakfast, an all-school co-ed costume dance, and an alumnae banquet. Alphian is preparing a file which will give accurate and up-to-date information about its members, active and alumnae. This takes the place of the former chapter list. A silver service purchased with money saved over a period of years, was presented to the society this fall. —Gladys Benz.

Thus the present organization got off to its initial start. Miss Lula M. Potts (Mrs. Gordon Abbot of Chicago) was the faculty adviser and originator of the society. “The purpose of the society shall be to promote interest in health and physical activities among the lady students of the N-l.” The organization has clung to and upheld this purpose throughout the years with only a slight change in activities. Our motto is. A sound mind in a sound body.” A point system was adapted in December. 1927. This has been built upon and enlarged, and records kept of athletic honors gained by participation in the several sports. The awards now include letters, a 600 point award known as Mecca-for-Pep award. A 1000 point award was first given in 1931 and has been earned by forty girls. Helen Jacobsen secured the first 600 point award. May Hill, in '32. earned a 2000 point, and a 1500 point award was given in '35 to Esther Miller and Martha Miller. As one of the activities for Homecoming the Mecca-for-Pcp put on a pageant called the Twenty Year Round Up.” About twenty-five girls appeared in sports costumes of then and now. illustrating the activities of each epoch. This was followed by dances of long ago concluding with modern tap dance. At our opening school party for all the girls, a theater party resulted from the prize- winning stunt. A Christmas party, the annual Kid party”, and a picnic have made up our usual school year program. The Mecca has sponsored May fetes, play-days, and Sport days. The last big pageant being an observation of the Washington-Bi-Ccntennial. also Volleyball, basketball, and tennis tournaments and the election of Basketball Queen. Thirty-eight —Esther Kirmis.

The purpose of this organization is to create and main- tain a permanent school spirit through the medium of the pep squad. Various awards arc given to members for services and faithful attendance. The cheer leaders are presented with ND letters while the active members receive pins. Three school yells were voted to become standard yells and are as follows: Locomotive , “Cha-he.

Thirty-nine ATHLETIC SECTION COACH FOOTBALL BASKETBALL TRACK BOXING INTR A MUR A I. BASK ETBA LL WOMEN S ATHLE TICS ATHLETICS rHE SNITCHER. 19 3 7 COACH SENN D. SLEMMONS I'or the past I I years the N-l has been very fortunate in having as its athletic coach. Senn D. Slcmmons. a jovial and likeable man. who. at the beginning of each football, basket- ball and track season, has had to face odds which no other school in the conference, with but one exception, has had to face. A town the size of Ellcndale is not large enough to provide many jobs as an inducement to athletes wishing to work their way through college. Also, the enrollment at the N-I is not as large as that of other conference schools, and is made up mostly of small town and rural students. When these odds are taken into consideration, it can easily be seen that Coach Slcmmons has done remarkably well in producing, with his limited amount of material, teams which have always commanded the respect of their opponents. Coach Slemmons has not only built up teams which often threatened and upset the cham- pionship hopes of larger schools, but be also produced, in 1931. a football squad that battled through all opposition to capture the conference championship; and again in 1932 he tutored his team to the coveted championship position. Annexing the conference football champion- ship for two successive years was a feat which has rarely been duplicated in the loop. During the past season. Coach Slemmons developed a gridiron aggregation that lost to Wahpeton. the conference champs, by five points, and his basketball quint lost to the cham- pionship Minot team by seven points. This is an indication that Coach Slemmons has a group of boys who. after the experience they gained this year, should be in the thick of things when championship awards arc decided in the next two years.

When Coach Slcmmons called oul his football candidates in preparation for the 1957 sea- son. he was greeted by about 55 eager men—but in that group were only four men with pre- vious college experience. Nearly all the rest were freshmen, many of whom had never played football before. From this unprepossessing array, the coach built a machine that displayed power from the very start. At the end of the first week of school, after only three days of practice, the Dusties went to Aberdeen for their annual opening game against the Northern Normal squad. The Wolves had an advantage of two solid weeks of practice, and ran three touchdowns through the be- wildered Dusties in tin- first half. However, the second half was a different story, as the Ellendale players came back fighting to take tin' play completely away from their foes, stop the Wolves dead, and count two points on their own hook to reduce the defeat to a 19 to 2 score. Two freshman stars were discovered during the contest. Allan Juclkc at fullback, and Duane Crabtree. 155-pound center, showing great promise of future power. In their first conference tilt, the Dusties invaded Valley City for a clash with the Vik- ings. The outcome put Ellendale into the victory column with a 6 to 0 win. The score by no means indicates the superiority of the Dusties. and it might well have been 25 to 0. since three of the four touchdowns put over by Ellendale were called back. Crabtree. Clifford Kempf and Tuffy Wallace were mainstays of the line, with Juclkc and Slriegel furnishing the backficld power. As an indication of the power the Dusties were capable of turning loose when they were right, the Morris Aggies, the next foe on the schedule, were completely routed, the final score being 62 to 0. Every man on the Ellcndalc squad saw service in the contest, with the regulars playing less than a half, but no matter how many substitutions Coach Slcmmons made, the score continued to mount. Every man on the squad looked like a champion, and hopes for further victories were bright. At this point, hard luck hit the Dusties in large doses. Leonard Bock, co-captain, was already on the sidelines with a knee injury, suffered before the first game of the season. Although he took part in a few later games, his knee never did recover, and he could play for only a few minutes at a time. Overconfidence, engendered by the Morris rout, took its toll in the next game, against Dickinson. Although the Dusties had things their own way through- out the game, they came out on the short end of the score. 7 to 6.

The first downs were eight for Fllcndale and none for Dickinson. 4 Zi yards being the most ground the Savages could gain on any three consecutive downs. Four more men turned up with knee injuries as a result of clipping in that game. Juclkc. Marquardt. Newman and Hoffman being forced out of the play. Juelke and Marquardt responded slowly to treat- ment. and were slowed down considerably for the rest of the season as a result. Ellcndale's Homecoming celebration was somewhat darkened by a 6 to 6 tic with a de- termined band from the Bottineau School of Forestry. The Foresters scored early in the game during the only time they succeeded in penetrating past midfield, and held a 6 to 0 margin until the last two minutes of the game. Here the Dusties drove over after a steady march of 60 yards, but poor quarterbacking was shown in the try for extra point, when a man was sent into the center of the line, a spot at which no ground had been gained during the entire game. Fllcndale showed a vast superiority in yardage, counting 1 6 first downs to Bottineau's two. The next contest found Wahpcton driving toward a conference championship, and expect- ing to gain an easy victory at the expense of the Dusties. But once more, as in the Aberdeen game, the Dusties showed amazing fight, giving the Wildcats their hardest game of the year, and finally succumbing. 1 2 to 7. With a strong wind at their backs. Wahpcton scored in the first quarter, and added another touchdown in the third. It was not until late in the final period that Fllcndale made use of the running power that had been going to waste through poor gen- eralship. With 2 Vi minutes of play remaining, the Dusties slammed over a touchdown, scored the extra point, and were back Xan the Wildcat 15-yard marker as the game ended. Kcmpf showed his versatility in this contest by going into the backfield and getting off a punt that traveled 80 yards with the wind. The final game of the season resulted in another defeat for the Dusties. On a bitterly cold day. with the ground frozen hard and covered with a film of snow. Minot took the measure of the Fllcndale boys. 6 to 0. It was the only game of the season in which the op- ponents showed any marked superiority to the home team, and also the only game in which the Dusties failed to score. Crabtree and Kcmpf were Ellcndale’s stars, with Van Orny providing the backfield spark. Despite a poor won and lost record. Fllcndale earned the respect of opposing coaches, as was shown in the all-conference selections. Three Dusties were placed on the second team, with two more accorded honorable mention. Crabtree was placed at center. Wallace at tackle and Kcmpf at end on the second team, with Juelke mentioned at halfback and Ralph Vix at guard. Prospects for the 1937 team loom bright, with Co-Captain Howard Fiske the only gradu- ation loss. Every other member of the squad has from one to three years of competition re- maining. and enough of them should return to make Fllcndale one of the standout challengers for the conference crown now worn by Wahpcton.

Forty-six THE SWITCHER, 1937 BASKETBALL l. ji to Hiehl Erwin Kcinfcr. Allen Jurllce. Kculicn Mjrqii.mli. I.hmijuI Hock. Floyd Ackcrt. Clifford Kempt. Ralph Wallace, Lincoln Brown, Owen Sim. Coach Slcinmon . At the opening of the 19 56-37 basketball season, very little could be hoped for by N-l fans in the way of a successful campaign. Although four experienced performers were back from the previous year's squad, two of them regulars, two key positions were left vacant with very little prospect of their being adequately filled. Only about 20 men reported with previous experience in the sport, most of them first year men. On top of that, practice could not start until seven days before the first game, because of repair work going on in the gymnasium. With but five days of actual work behind them, the Dustics traveled to Aberdeen to meet the powerful Northerners, champions of the South Dakota conference, and took a sound drubbing. Two nights later the two teams met again, this time on the N-l floor, and again the Dustics took a trouncing, although they displayed a much improved brand of ball. The games served one valuable purpose—they enabled Coach Slemmons to observe his boys under fire, and to decide upon his best line-up for the remainder of the campaign. Clifford Kcmpf. star center the year before, was shifted to forward, with Leonard Bock and Floyd Ackcrt. the remaining veterans, holding down the guard positions. Two freshmen. Owen Sizer and Reuben Marquardl. were placed at center and forward, and there they remained throughout the season. Aside from this starting line-up. the coach had but little talent on his squad, and this lack did as much as anything else to bring about defeat after defeat for the N-I team. When the starting combination was broken up the N-I game went to pieces, and in every game at least one Dustic. and often two and three, were ejected from the contest via the personal foul route. Following a pre-holiday road jaunt that brought defeat to the Dustics at the hands of the Chadron. Neb.. Teachers and Spearfish Normal, the N-l played host to the Minot Beavers. Fresh from victory over the pre-season favorite Jamestown quint, the Beavers, ultimate con- ference champs, were so confident of their prowess that they started a second-string combination against Slemmons' boys. They were soon shown their folly, as the Dustics battled the Beavers to a standstill during the first half, forcing Coach Allen to send his regular five into the game. So shaken were the Minot players at the Dustic spirit that the regulars were less effective than the second team had been, and had it not been for the insertion of a substitute, who got hot” in the closing minutes. Minot may have seen her championship hopes dashed. Kempf played brilliantly for the Dustics. and was ably supported by Bock and Ackcrt. Three nights later Jamestown college invaded the campus, smarting under the Minot defeat and determined to take it out on the Dustics. They did. but not until they knew they had been in a battle. Although the score gave Jamestown a big edge, they had a hard fight of it all the way. and their victory margin was never more than 10 points until the last quarter was well under way. Kcmpf was again the standout performer for Ellendalc. with Bock also turning in a great game. Only Peterson. Jamestown captain, could penetrate the Dustic defense.

At Wahpcton. the Dustics played what was termed by Coach Siemmons as their best game of the season thus far. although the score showed the Wildcats to have won a decisive victory. The Wahpcton players were on” that night, while the Dustics missed innumerable heart-breakers: as far as floor play and scoring opportunities went, the two teams were about even. Marquardt played a strong game during the contest, as did Kempf and Ackcrt. The next night Ellcndalc tackled the Mayville Teachers quint, and lost by a three-point margin after holding a narrow lead throughout most of the game. Loss of Kempf. Bock and Marquardt on personal fouls during the last half caused the Dustics' downfall, as there were no substitutes available who could carry on the pace. Kempf continued his high scoring while he was in the game, with Ackcrt also contributing heavily to the Dustics' total. Dickinson was next on the schedule, but couldn't reach Ellcndalc because of snow storms. After much jockeying. Coach Siemmons finally agreed to play two games at Dickinson, on the Dusties western trip, and cancel the Dickinson appearance here. A non-conference tilt with Bottineau, under a two-year suspension for schedule jumping the year before, was the next home stand for the N-l team. Tans expected an easy victory, as nothing much had been heard of the Foresters in the way of basketball, and the early part of the contest bore out those expectations. Led by Kempf. the Dusties piled up a quick lead, and apparently were on their way to their first victory of the season. However. Bottineau came back strong in the last half, to steadily pull up with the Dustics. take the lead in the final minutes, and hold it until the gun ended the game. The next night the Dusties journeyed to Valley City, dropping another close contest to the powerful Vikings. The Ellcndalc quint was not expected to put up much of a fight against the Vikings, considered by conference coaches to be the most dangerous team in the loop. Again tin Dusties confounded prognosticators by displaying a great brand of ball, leading for a time, and succumbing by a small margin after several key men had been forced out on fouls. Kempf again led the attack, shooting into the conference scoring lead as a result. Winding up the season, the western jaunt of the team brought three more defeats, the first one close. Dickinson turned the trick twice, by four points the first time, and Minot took a return game with the Dusties on their own court. Kempf was high point man in all three contests, with Bock and Ackert displaying Hashes of good ball. Return games with Wahpcton and Mayville were scheduled for the N-I floor, but im- passable roads caused their cancelation. Ellcndalc was given an even chance to win both games, with the advantage of playing on their own court taken into consideration. Had they done so. the conference standings would not have been altered, so neither team made a decided effort to reach Ellcndalc. Although the Dusties failed to record any victories during the season, their potential power was recognized, and their captain honored when Clifford Kempf received a forward berth on the coaches' all-conference first team Kempf was the standout performer on the floor through- out the season. leading the loon for a time in total points, and winding up with the highest average of points per game. Had he olaved in as many games as leading scorers from other conference schools, he would b-yond a doubt have ended up as the loop scoring champion. Basketball prospects for next year look a little better than they did during the season iust passed. Every member of tin- team will be back, and all of them should be belter for a year's experience. Rumor has it that Francis Ackert. a former N-I athletic star, will be back next year. If that is true, his presence will bolster the strength of the team considerably. Dec. Dec. Dec. Dec. Jan. Jan.

Miiunr; Virgil Newman. Eddie Chamber� . Floyd Wdander. Orcar Gchrinu. Front Row—Howard Clark. Kumtl Van Orny. Allen Jurlke. Waller Eibclc, Trainer. By sweeping through the league season undefeated, the Janitors' basketball quint won the campus intramural title in comparatively easy fashion, with the Normal and Commercial fives deadlocked for second place and the two remaining teams, representing the Mechanic Arts and Farm Machinery departments, winding up all even in the cellar. Led by a high-scoring forward trio which- was backed up by strong defensive performers in the back court, the victorious Janitors were easily the class of the league, although they were hard pressed in several of their games before putting on last-quarter spurts for comfortable winning margins. At the conclusion of campus play, tin Janitors opposed the strong Oakes Independent quint in a pair of contests, turning in a decisive victory on the N-l court but dropping the return game at Oakes. Led by Floyd Welandcr. center and captain, who outplayed every opponent Ik faced, the roster included Oscar Gchring and Russell Van Orny. two sharpshooting forwards who were usually high-point men: Allan Juelkc. Virgil Newman. Howard Sawrcy. Howard Clark and Fdwin Chambers, strong defensive guards who contributed their share toward the high scores set up by the team. Charlie Sizer acted as coach and manager, with Walter Frbele serving as trainer. A total of 5 I 7 ooints were scored by the v:ciors in 11 names, with the opposition garnerin' 331 points. Indications point toward another strong team for the Janitors next year, with all of this year’s team returning. Aside from the Janitors, the league teams were fairly matched, with all four winning at least one contest. Three faculty members took part in the play. R. T. Schonberger with the Normal team and Coach S. D. Slemmons and Ivan Rustad performers for the Farm Machinery quint. Sponsored by the En Aye all-campus league first and second teams were selected by tlv team managers, following the close of the league season, and a regulation contest was held between the two fives. The first team vindicated their right to all-star honors by turning in a decisive victory. First team selections were Oscar Gchring. Janitors, and R. T. Schonberger. Normal, for- wards: Floyd Welander. Janitors, center: Howard McDermott. Commercial, guard and captain: and Duane Crabtree. Mechanic Arts, guard. On the second team were Russell Van Orny. Janitors, forward and captain: l.acel Bobzien. Normal, forward: Otto Hoffman. Normal, center: Robert Christianson. Mechanic Arts, and Virgil Newman. Janitors, guards. Honorable mention was accorded Oscar Rcddig. Farm Machinery: Dervck Cawthornc. Ray Neumann and Marvin Weller. Commercial: and Raymond Sinkbcil. Normal. The 1937 season was easily the most successful in the history of the school, with the aM-star game furnishing added interest. I his game of champions” was an innovation in Northwest coIleRiate basketball circles, its success attested by the fact that other schools in the section quickly followed suit. lifly T HE S ’ I TC H ER. 19 3 7 TRACK Thirteen men have been working out regularly for places on the N-I track and field team this spring, with all of them being taken along to meets in which the Dusties are entered. I his is a very small number in comparison to the squads representing other schools in the conference, and therefore supporters of the school do not look for the team to carry off any laurels. How- ever, there are some strong individual performers on the squad roster, many of whom will score points in any meet the Dusties choose to enter. Only three veterans are on the list of thirteen. Leonard Bock. Clifford Kempf and Lloyd Wclandcr have all had varsity experience with the Dusties. Another veteran, who has not competed for the N-I before, is Wavne Hill, former captain of the University of North Dakota team, who has thrown in his lot with the Hllcndalc school this year. All other members of the squad arc first-year men. many with fine high school reputations, but none who has competed against college performers before. Tackling the most ambitious schedule in years. Coach Summons has entered his team in six meets this spring, beginning with tlw Aberdeen Relays, where Hoffman carried off a second place in the discus. Others entered are a meet at Jamestown April JO. with Hllcndalc. Jamestown. Minot. Dickinson and Valley City competing: a quintangular meet in the same city May 7. with Hllcndalc competing against Jamestown. Valley City. Huron and Aberdeen; the State Intercollegiate meet at the University on May 15: a dual meet with Wahpcton there May 22: and the annual conference meet May 20. this year held at Jamestown. The 1957 team is composed of Wayne Hill, who runs the 120-yard high hurdles. 220- yard low hurdles and broad jumps: Owen Sizer, high hurdles, low hurdles, and 220-yard dash: Otto Hoffman, discus and shot put: Leonard Bock, discus and shot put: Clifford Kempf. shot put and high jump: William Jackson. 440-yard dash: Harry Vix. 100-yard and 220-yard dashes: Oscar Gchring. 440-vard dash, javelin and broad jump: I.accl Bobzicn. broad jump: Calvin Rcmpfcr. pole vault: Leon Burroughs, mile run: and Harold Kuch. two mile run. Prospects for a strong team in 1958 arc bright, if the number of aspirants can be in- creased. Only Wayne Hill will be lost to the Dusties by graduation, and several promising freshmen candidates can be counted upon to enter the Hllcndalc school next fall. MINOR SPORTS Every year a number of N-I athletes engage in several sports which, because of the lack of available competition, arc classed as minor. Among these sports are tennis, golf and diamond- ball. In past years, tournaments in golf and tennis have been held in conjunction with the conference track meet, but lately plans have fizzled out near the end of the school year. During the fall meeting of the league coaches, it was decided to hold boxing, tennis and golf tourna- ments this spring, but latest developments show that plans have been virtually abandoned. In golf, the N-I has one representative who has scored points for the school in the past, and is therefore entitled to mention. He is Marvin Weller, who this spring is competing for his third year. If a tournament is held. Weller will undoubtedly represent the N-I. The Dusties offer Ployd Ackcrt and Howard Clark in tennis. Ackert has been the out- standing player in school for three years, and. like Weller, is competing for his third year. If competition in the sport is available, he and Clark will form the N-I team. Two courts on the school campus and two more in the city of Hllcndalc provide adequate practice facilities for those interested in the sport, and each spring a number of students put in many hours of training. Diamondball is a new sport on the campus. Years ago a baseball league was in operation in the conference, but it has died out. For several years, the cnlv spring sport engaged in by the school has been track, and only a limited number of boys are able to take part in that sport. In order to give those who are not participating in track a final few weeks of outdoor activity, and to round out the very commendable intramural program in operation throughout the year, a diamondball league has been organized this spring, with four teams competing.

When a call for volunteers was issued to fill the ranks of the cauliflower forces, approxi- mately twenty-five enthusiastic candidates crowded into the training circles. The boys were somewhat disappointed when the coach put (hem through intensive drills during the first two weeks without even giving them a smell of leather, but there was no doubt but what every candidate benefited from the calisthcnic exercises. When the boys were finally whipped into fair condition, tryouts were held and there was action galore. Two one minute rounds were fought by each man and tin- need for more track training was apparent. However, stance and hitting also showed decided defects and upon these two phases boxing was concentrated on for several weeks, with the result that several ■‘knocker- outers” were developed. When the entire squad was finally brought into a satisfactory position Senn Slcmmons. head of the Athletic Department, arranged for an elimination tournament to determine the school champions. Drawings were made a couple of days before the fights and interest ran high among the student body. Howard McDermott won his title in the lightweight class without drawing on a glove, the result of a forfeit by Clarence Rct .lolT. his scheduled opponent. The first bout of the evening resulted in a draw between I.orcn Phillips and Harry Woll. bantamweights. Woll had superior reach and held his shorter opponent off throughout the fight, but Phillips' defense was too good for Woll to penetrate, and neither landed any damaging blows. No extra round was fought, the two being declared co-champions at their weight. Darcy Bostrup and Duane Crabtree, rugged middleweight , ended up all even in their bout, with Bostrup starting fast to pile up a decisive margin in the first round. However, he tired fast and Crabtree pecked away at his lead until the final round, when a fast rally gave Crabtree a shade for the round and made the score all even at the end. Another middleweight battle pitted Glen Maicr against Ray Gorman, with Maier carrying off honors after a bruising encounter. Maier took the first round easily, with the other two being split by shades. The bout ended with both participants swinging wildly in a fast flurry. No arrangements were made to divide the middleweight title. In the feature bout of the evening. Allan Juclkc’s impregnable defense helped him win a decision over Leonard Bock by the closest of margins in a fast encounter that might have been called either way. Bock carried the fight throughout. Neither landed many clean blows, but those that connected were hot. Gottlieb Maier had too many guns for his opponent, although Nicholson held things even the first round. Maicr's superior punch took effect in the final round, and the referee stopped the fight as Nicholson appeared out on his feet. Fifty-two T H E S N ITCH ER, 19 37 WOMEN’S ATHLETICS France Zinicr.

Sports and games arc chosen, not only for their value in developing strength and endurance, but also for their value in providing future teachers with a knowledge of suitable playground activities and methods. Soccer and volley ball with various lead-up games are the chief interests during the fall quarter. In past years a volley ball tournament has been played but repair work in the gym made that event an impossibility this year. Tap dancing and social dancing has proven a popular addition to the regular course. The tapping class has been much in demand on the campus for specialty numbers. An inter-class basketball tournament held February 25 to March 9, sponsored by the .Mecca-for-Fcp society ended the winter quarter. 'I his event was undoubtedly the high spot of the season. Team divisions were made according to the year classifications of the players, the fifth and sixth years each having two teams and the high school having two teams. Captains were: Vivian Wegner, Frances ' inter. Muggy Laughlin, Rosclla Kunz, Eva Harter, and Evelyn Strand. The fifth year teams opened the tournament; Francis inter’s team emerging with a 20 to 15 victory. In the second game. Muggy Laughlin’s squad defeated the other sixth year team 32 to 20. The losers of the first two games, Rosclla Kun .’s fifth years and Vivian Wegner's sixth years played a third game of the tournament, Rosclla Kunz's team winning 13 to 7. In the championship game, Frances inter’s team came through with a 7-point lead over Muggy” Laughlin's sixth years. After defeating the Sophomores 37 to 4. the Senior high school team challenged Frances inter's victorious squad, but the strong fifth year team came through again, winning 37 to 18. Carolyn Bolstad was the high point player with 28 points and Grace Meyer second with 24 to her credit. In recent years, there has been a wide demand and much felt need for qualified women officials. To meet this condition, an N. I. Board of Women's Officials was organized a year ago. The board has secured local rating and will be eligible for a national rating when they have passed the required theoretical test as well as a practical demonstration of their ability. In order that women officials might have adequate training, a coaching class was organized. The fourteen members of the class had actual practice in refereeing games at the Ellendalc high school and the N. I. interclass tournament, as well as an opportunity to officiate at the Dickey county tournament. Officials at the county tournament were Carol Hansen and Clara Lubbers. During the spring term, tennis with its variations of ping pong and paddle tennis will be the chief interest. A tennis tournament will be played at the close of the season if the weather permits. Fifty-three rI:ATURE SECTION HOMECOMING ALUMNI WHO’S WHO HUMOR FEATURES THE SNITCH ER, 19 3 7 HOMECOMING ' The most successful Homecoming in the history of the school.” was the verdict of N-I students and residents of Ellendalc after a week end of festivity in honor of the old grads had terminated with the big Homecoming dance held Saturday evening. October 24. in the armory. As a result of the fine spirit of cooperation among the students themselves and the businessmen of Ellendalc. a celebration has been staged that will live long in the memories ol those who witnessed or took part in it. Preparations for the festivities were started three weeks before the Homecoming week-end by the students, at the insistence of the newly-formed student council. Since the two previous Homecomings had taken for their theme the “Roundup.” tin- student council decided to model this year's version after them, and establish the Roundup as a tradition of the school. At meetings of the men and women students, held for the purpose of determining appropriate means of advertising the occasion, it was decided that the men would forego shaving and do their best to grow manly beards, and the women would don braids and bows in the manner of their sisters a generation ago. The actual celebration got off to an auspicious start with a huge snake dance Friday evening, in which a great part of the student body participated. Led by Herbert Thiele, mount- ed on a horse, and the school band, the crowd of cowboys and cowgirls, dressed in true Western fashion, thronged through the streets of Fllendalc. When the business district was reached, the band played several selections and a few lusty shouts and cheers were given in behalf of the N-I football team. Then with much shouting and noise-making the snake dance was started. Through the streets, alleys and business houses the weaving, running line swiftly moved. The weaker ones in the chain were left by the wayside, so great was the force with which the line was traveling. After several minutes downtown, the line moved up toward the college campus where a groat bonfire had been gathered for days before. While the huge tower of flame leaped into the sky. the judging contests for the most realistic cowboy and cowgirl were held. Herbert Thiele and Floys Flcgcl Fiskc carried off first honors in their respective divisions, with Mary Kelly and Clara Lubbers runners-up in the girls' division, and Darcy Bostrup and Lyle Luhicns placing second and third among tin boys. The throng then moved to the armory, where the pep rally was held, along with the temaining contests and stunts put on by various organizations. Alphian placed first in the stunt contest. Mecca for Pep second, and Delta Epsilon £hi third. First prize for the most complete beard went to John A. Gebhardt. with John L. Gcbhardl and Glen Maier following in second and third place. In finishing up the evening, school yells were given, and songs appro- priate for the occasion were led by Miss Emily Jane Callan and sung by the throng. Jeanette Robinson, elected Homecoming queen by the assembled student body the week before, was featured in the parade Saturday morning, which flung its picturesque length through all the main streets in the town. Colorful floats representing the different organizations and departments of the school followed the Queen and her mounted attendants. Saturday afternoon the Dusties met the Foresters from Bottineau, and although badly outplayed, the invaders managed to pull out with a 6 to 6 tic. thus putting a damper on the Homecoming spirit for a time. During the half. President McMillan officially crowned Miss Robinson Homecoming Queen. During the ceremony. Miss Robinson was dressed in fitting cowgirl style and mounted on a white horse. Her two attendants. Edna Kuch and May vis Hafner. rode black horses. That evening the armory was the scene cf bright festivity and much gaiety. A rccorc crowd jammed the building to dance to the music of Loren Towne and his orchestra from Bismarck. An acrobatic dance by little Aloha Jensen, and a whistling act by her sister. Shelda. were featured numbers of the evening. With the finish of the dance, another Homecoming was brought to a successful conclusion. Students and instructors heaved sighs of relief mingled with regret, in acknowledgment that it was all over, and homecoming grads went away with a greater feeling of kinship with their alma mater. Businessmen of Ellcndate felt a certain pride for the most successful part they played in the celebration, and so it was an all-around great Homecoming. Because of the selection of the same theme year after year, tin- student council believe that Homecoming will grow into a tradition that will equal the best boasted by any school in the country. From year to year, new equipment and new costumes will be gathered, nev and colorful details will be added to the celebration, and students, alumni and townspeople wil find it increasingly easier to get into the spirit of the occasion.

THE SNITCH ER, 19 3 7 ALUMNI Nine long years have passed since the last Snitchcr was published at our school—nine years in which graduates have left the institution with no formally-recorded recognition of their years spent at the N-I. We. the alumni committee, wish to express our appreciation at the way former students have supported our efforts to track down all graduates of the school. We have been able to prepare an up-to-date alumni directory during the school year, which will enable the administration to keep in close touch with those who secured their business and professional training on the campus. We include here the names of all those who have graduated from our school since 1924. regretting the fact that space limitations prevent our including addresses, business and professional connections, and other facts of interest to alumni, faculty and students alike.

Sixty-six THE SN ITCH ER. 19 3 7 COLLEGE ROMANCES “If If you love a man. he isn’t worth it If you don’t love him. you don’t know what you want If you lead him on. you’re a flirt If you ignore him. you're heartless If he has money, you’re mercenary If he hasn’t you're foolish If he’s old. you're robbing the grave If he’s young, you're robbing the cradle If you stay at home, you’re an old maid If you don’t, you’re a rounder For the love of Pete, what’s a poor girl to do? THOSE WERE THE “GOOD OLD DAYS’’ Back in the days of '49, When boys were men at the age of nine. When killing Indians was quite the thin'. And drinkin’ and dancin' wasn’t a sin. When women worked from dawn till night. And the men at the saloon were not right. Whenever the Indians were in a stew. Pioneers would stick together like glue. Whenever a street fight was the center of at- traction. All the men yelled. “We want action! And just when the fight was getting hot. The sheriff rides up and tells ’em to stop. I have said too much about the days of yore. I think I’ll stop or get the Bronx roar. So I'll just sign off. but want to impress. That those old days were by far the best. (Enos “Corky” Halvf.rson) Sixty-seven T H E SN1TCHER . 19 3 7 WEATHERING THROUGH We’re apt to sort o’ kick like. When trouble comes our way; And kinder like to dodge it And choose a fairer day. But if our eyes are open And looking for the good. There’s treasures in the shadders We could find them if we would. If we’re craving to be heroes. We must not fear the fight; Nor always seek the sunshine. And day instead of night. There’s a certain strength and bigness That comes with pain and care: We must not shun the hardships Nor say we do not dare. Fair weather does not prove the ship. Nor idling in the port; We wonder could it stand the storm And be the stronger sort. But when she sails the ocean And rough seas beat her side. She proves her worth by conquering Or goes down with the tide. Life’s ocean’s not a smooth one— We cannot hope ’twill be: ’N’ the shore is strewn with weak ones Who could not stand the sea. We must not pray for sunshine Nor always skies of blue; But rather for the courage That we might weather through. Ora Smith Lawrence. Sixty-eight THE SN1TCHER, 19 3 7 v THE EVENING HOURS r There’s a sort o' sacred feeling That comes at close of day. When the evening chores arc finished And the dishes cleared away. True the day has had its problems But they seem to lose their power. As we gather round the fireside In the quiet Evening Hour. Mother’s taking off her apron And is smoothing back her hair, And the rest of us make ready As we each draw up a chair. Thus we like to sit and visit. For our worries fade and cower When we share them round the fireside. In the quiet Evening Hour. Sometimes we’re craving music: Sometimes we read a bit: But more often, when all arc weary. We just like to sit and sit. While the restfulness of evening Settles down around our bower: As we gather round the fireside. In the quiet Evening Hour. Ora Smith Lawrence.

We Live in the Age of Miracles Had Merlin, with all his magic, been able to flood King Arthur’s court with light from a small bulb of glass at the mere pressing of a button—had he been able, at the turn of a switch, to produce glowing heat to cook the wild boar and tasty fowls—sweep the floors and wash the clothes, or bring beautiful music and voices from nowhere—could he have produced clear, hot water at a kitchen tap i by merely turning the faucet—we arc sure the good King Arthur and all his .. worthy Knights would have fainted in their chairs around the Round Table. Yet all of these miracles, as well as hundreds of others, are well-known and I | performed daily in millions of homes throughout the world today; made possible | | by the harnessing of that powerful giant and friend of humanity—Electricity.
