Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1947 volume:

Page Two Published by the Students of the State Normal and Indus- trial College, Ellendale, North Dakota. Arthur Fryslie .............................. Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Ulmer............................ Business Manager Page Three Foreword In planning this publication, we bore in mind the principle that a yearbook should be the story of the life of a student body during the collegiate year. Since our college is ded- icated to the training of teachers, we present this book to the student body in the hope that the present trend of in- creasing standards and conditions of teaching will continue until education takes its rightful high position in American society. Poge Four The Student Council Left to right: Robert Bell, President McMillan, Helen Martin, Charles Stewart, Alan Brown, Leona Heimke, Leo Thomason. Charles Stewart Leona Heimke . Alan Brown ... Helen Martin .., Dwight Dwello Leo Thomason Robert Bell J. C. McMillan REPRESENTATIVES Industrial Arts Home Economics .....Commercial ........ Normal ...........Normal Junior College _____ High School .......Ex-officio All student activities, including the publication of the SNITCHER, are controlled and supervised by the Student Council, the mouthpiece of the student body and the intermediary between that body and the administration of the college. The Council is composed of one representative from each of the departments on the campus, with the N-l President as an ex-officio member. To be eligible for member- ship on the Council, a student must be a sophomore, junior, or senior in his department, and must have maintained a scholastic overage of B or better for his entire college residence. President for the second straight year was Charles Stewart. Alan Brown served as Vice-President, and Leona Heimke as Secretary. Helen Martin served as the Normal Department's representative for two quarters, but when she left school at the end of the winter term, the students in that department elected Dwight Dwello os their representative for the spring quarter. Besides controlling all student activities, the Council initiates many of them. If appoints all chair- men of school events, such as parties. Homecoming and Senior Reception committees, and the like. It names the editor of the EN AYE and the editor and business manager of the SNITCHER. It has control of all expenditures from the student activity fund. Members of the Council are guided in their actions by a constitution, which was adopted by the student body in 1936 and revised in 1941.

Page Thirty-three Young Men's Christian Association OFFICERS Melvin Buck ........................... Norman Goehner ........................ Herbert Kessler ....................... Robert Bell .......................... O. E. Combellick ...................... The Young Men's Christian Association is one of the largest and best-known organizations for men on the N-l campus. Its main objective is to help in every way possible the men students and the com- munity to lead a better life. It is an interdenomina- tional organization, working with similar organiza- tions in other colleges throughout the United Stales, and is affiliated with the National Young Men's Christian Association. The groundwork for the N-l club was laid in the early 1900's, and it was a strong organization in pre-war years. During the war the club was dormant, but it has been revived in the past two years and now has a fine outlook for the future. ................................President ...........................Vice-President ................................Secretary ................................Treasurer .........................Faculty Adviser Several projects have been undertaken during the year, one of the major ones being the study of the Old Testament. Several social functions have also been held during the year, including several joint meetings with the Y.W.C.A. For the second year, the Y.M.C.A. joined other N-l clubs in supporting the World Student Service Fund, the proceeds from which went to needy students in Europe. Ben Ulmer acted as Master-of-Ceremonies and Melvin Buck served as general chairman of the annual N-l Rarities, a vaudeville show sponsored jointly by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. The purpose of the show was to raise funds with which to send delegates to state and regional conferences and to the National Church Foundation at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Young Women's Christian Association OFFICERS Lenora Bell ........................... Ruth Senecol .......................... Mary Lou Kronberg .....................

The Young Women's Christian Association exists on the N-l campus for the purpose of helping young women to grow spiritually and to provide friendly social activities for every girl enrolled in the college. The N-l chapter was organized in 1906 as a charter member of the national organization. Although membership was comparatively small this year, the activities were many and varied. Early in October the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. sponsored a school party. The Y's again sponsored the World .................................President ............................Vice-President ................................

Page Thirty-five Industrial Arts Club OFFICERS Virgil Newman Clifford Schmierer Raymond Shelver James Rognlien V1 . J. Dunning The Industrial Arts Club is an organization of Industrial Arts students and others who might be interested in the field. The club's aim is to promote unity of purpose and advancement in industrial education, and to broaden the professional field of the students enrolled in the department. New officers were elected last year and a new con- stitution drawn up. With the return of several former members from the armed services, the club has re- sumed its traditional high position in campus affairs. If is in the Industrial Arts Department that male students learn to develop and use the finer things .. .. President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer .... Adviser in life through the use of their hands as well as their heads. The club has always led the campus in such things as public exhibits. Homecoming floats, and other projects which serve as fine advertisements for the department and college. Motion pictures of an industrial nature are spon- sored by the club to bring industry and industrial processes closer to its members. Hobbies are en- couraged among the members, and the value of leisure time activities and vocations are features of discussions. Home Economics Club OFFICERS l.eono Heimke ...... .................... Mary Lou Kronberg ....................... Eleanore Delzer ......................... Ilene Bobbe ............................. Mildred Peterson ........................ The original Home Economics Club was organized in 1898 and was named for its first adviser, Lillian E. Tingle. The present organization dotes back to 1926, when the department organized the Home Economics Club for its present purposes. The purpose of the club is to train efficient homemakers, teachers, and workers in the many interesting and important fields now open to young women trained in home economics. The club meets bi-monthly, usually in the new and comfortably-furnished women's lounge in the Home Economics building. Meetings consist of dis- cussions, motion pictures, and social gatherings. Any woman student taking subjects in the department is eligible to join the club. ............................................ President ........................................... Vice-President ................................. Secretary ..................... . ... Treasurer ..................... Adviser The outstanding event of the year took place in January, when the local club became a chapter of the National Home Economics Association, with twelve charter members: Leona Heimke, Mary Lou Kronberg, Eleanore Delzer, Ilene Bobbe, Ann Strand, Audrey Schnabel, Hildegard Speidel, Emma Meyer, Lenora Bell, Vendela Murray, Marian Branden- burger, and Mildred E. Peterson. Thus it is the first professional group on the campus to affiliate with a national association. Other activities during the year included projects to raise money for the World Student Service Fund, a Christmas party, an entry in the N-l Rarities, and the traditional Homecoming banquet in the spring.

President .......... Vice-President Recording Secretary .Corresponding Secretary .............. Treasurer ........Sergeanf-at-Arms ................ Adviser The Alphian Society con claim the distinction of being one of the oldest organizations on the campus, having been founded in 1906. Originally, the purpose of the society was to give its members forensic training, but its activities have expanded to such an extent that today the club offers social, dramatic, and literary training to all its members. Because the society has limited membership, close organization, and unfaltering loyalty and interest on the part of its members, it has secured the respect of the entire campus. This year the traditional functions of a rush tea, an initiation party, a Christmas buffet supper, a theater party, Heart Sister week, and a straw- berry breakfast highlighted the club's activities. The society won a prize for its Homecoming float, sponsored a minstrel show at an assembly program, and took second prize in the N-l Rarities with a series of shadowgraphs. An extensive and interesting series of bi-monthly meetings was planned for the year. At each meeting the religious, political, musical, and social aspects of a foreign country were discussed by members, often with outside speakers in attendance. The meetings were climaxed by the preparation and serving of some dish connected with the country being studied. Newman Club OFFICERS Alex Silvernogel ......................

The idea of Newman Clubs on college campuses was instituted by John Henry Newman, who later became a cardinal in the Catholic Church. The Newman Club at the N-l was organized in 1939 by the Catholic students in the school for the purposes of creating a greater love for God, for bringing together all Catholic students at regular meetings, and for promoting a better understanding of the Church and the teachings of Catholicism. ............................ President ........................... Vice-President ......................Secretary-Treasurer .................................Reporter Inactive since 1943, the club was reorganized last fall with the Reverend Father C. F. Veach as adviser. During the past school year, meetings were held at regular intervals to study the various church questions, histories, and services. Although the theme of the club is essentially religious, the social aspect is not neglected, entertainment after meetings taking the form of games.

Music Department Forty-three years ogo the president of the school and the Board of Regents foresaw that music, as an art, was inseparable from the other objectives of the school and decided that it should be added to the curriculum on a regular credit basis. Piano, voice, harmony, keyboard harmony, sight singing, end ear training ore all taught at the N-l for the purpose of increasing musical perception and de- veloping it into performance. Methods courses are aimed at providing prospec- tive teachers with techniques and knowledge neces- sary for the teaching of music. Besides a minor toward a degree in education, the department offers a special three-year course at the completion of which a student is entitled to a Standard Normal Certificate with a double music minor. Activities of the Music Department include taking part in Commencement and Baccalaureate exercises. presenting various recitals throughout the year, and producing a Christmas program which for many years has taken the form of a candle-light service, with miscellaneous numbers following the Christmas story. The department also fills a need felt by students in other departments for an extra cultural activity which they can carry with them when college days are over. The organizations of the Music Department are many and varied. Chief among them are the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs and the Mixed Chorus. But there are many smaller groups, such as Men's and Women's Ensembles, men's, women's, and mixed quartets. These groups try to be ready for perform- ances at any time they might be asked to appear on assembly programs or take part in entertainments for other schools or communities.

Page Forty-one N-i Band The N-I Bond was originally organized as a military band when military training was given at the college. Since that time the band has been o concert band with small ensembles often serving as pep bands and entertainment groups. It is the desire of every band member that the organization wil soon be dressed in uniforms that will do justice anc credit to the organization as well as to the college. The war years depleted the band greatly, but through diligent work on the part of every member it has made a comeback, and we are looking for- ward to the time when the band will again take its rightful place in the curriculum, the school, and college life. The band has this year given a good account of itself. It served as entertainment at ath- letic games and augmented the enthusiasm of the cheering section by cooperating with it to root for the home team. This organization has a large honor roll at work in the field of music in many states. The director, E. W. Ackert, has insisted that all members take active parts not only by playing instruments but also by organizing, directing, and managing the band. By following this practice, the musicians get the experience necessary to organize, teach, and direct high school bands. A graduate of the N-I Band is qualified to take charge of such an organ- ization in whatever school or community he may find himself. Although small in number this year, the band has had a valuable place in the curriculum ot the college. With many of our members coming back next year and the talent of high school graduates up to pre-war caliber, the outlook for next year's N-I Band is very good.

Page Forty-three Homecoming Led by Queen Iona Kuch of Ellendale, a parade of twelve floats toured the town October 26 as one of the highlights of the N-I's 1946 Roundup, the tenth annual Homecoming celebration and the first since the war caused cancellation of the traditional event after the 1942 affair. This year's Roundup was a highly-successful one except for the Dusties' defeat on the gridiron by the close score of 7 to 0. First place in the float contest 'went to the Indus- trial Arts Department, almost a perennial winner, for its portrayal of Coach Senn Slemmons in a duck blind, hunting the Jimmies. Docotcih Hall and the Alphian Society shared second prize, and the N-l Players won third. Honorable mention was accorded the Women's Athletic Association. Festivities started with a pepfest Friday night, at which Clifford Simek was crowned Whisker King and Dwight Dwello was adjudged the Beardless Baron. Honors for the most realistic cowboy and cowgirl costumes went to Alex Silvernagel, Clarence Blecha, Ora Marie Stewart, and Eleanore Delzer. Mrs. Jessie H. Dunphy was named honorary cowgirl. The pepfest was followed by a bonfire and a snakedance through town, participated in by most of the students and many of the alumni. Winning floats were displayed between halves of the football game, and Queen Iona was crowned by President J. C. McMillan. She was attended by Mary Ellen Reynolds of Fullerton and llene Bobbe of Ellendale, runners-up in the contest to select the ruler. About 100 former students of the N-l attended the alumni banquet Saturday, with many more at the game and the dance. Speakers at the banquet included President McMillan, Alumni President John Wheelihan, Mrs. Ralph Clarke, and H. A. Porter. Alumnus Milton Starin acted as toastmaster. A dance to the music or Ray Palmer and his orchestra, held in the spacious Ellendale High School gymnasium, ended the two-day celebration. During the evening, merchandise prizes donated by Ellen- dale businessmen were distributed to all contest winners. The program included vocal numbers by three former students, Ted Hillius, Viviann Qually Hillius, and Lois Hildebrand Hess. Bob Blcitchford, as Homecoming chairman, was mainly responsible for the success of the 1946 Roundup. He received able support from his chief henchmen, Charles Stewart, Ben Ulmer, Bob Ander- son, Clarence Blecha, Enright Lematta, and Bob McMillan. Started in 1934, the Roundup idea caught on immediately, and has been very successful ever since. Duane Pinckney directed that first event, while Marian Hubbard reigned as Queen. George Kolberg bossed the 1935 Roundup, with Jeanette Furan serving as Queen. In 1936 the Student Coun- cil expanded the event, adding many of the extras which have since become traditional. The Council ran that 1936 affair as a group, headed by its president, Arnold Hoel. Jeanette Robinson was named by the Lettermen to rule as Queen. Since 1936, Range Bosses have been Herbert Thiele, Edwin Chambers, Martin Johnson, Howard Rumrey, Ted Hillius, and Willis Syverson. Queens have been Margie Maricle, Bernice Scoville, Mary Griffin, Eleanor Gessner, Helen Pratschner, and Joy Ginnow. The biggest Roundup in history took place in 1940, when the football game drew more than 1000 spectators and the dance was attended by 1800. But the 1937 celebration boasted the longest parade, with 21 floats wending their way through the city streets. Page Forty-four Page Forty-five Senior Reception Next to Commencement, the big event of the spring term at the N-l is the Senior Reception and Invitational Track meet for high schools in the south- eastern and southcentral parts of North Dakota. What makes these events successful is the coopera- tion of all N-l students in presenting their college in the best possible light. Results show that the event brings many students to the N-l, students who might otherwise have ended their education with high school graduation. The oldest tradition on the campus is the Invi- tational Track Meet, which has been one of the state's best for thirty-one years. Records established in this event compare favorably with state records, and in two instances eclipse the recognized state marks. Attendance has always been good, but the high point was reached in 1940, when twenty high schools entered 250 athletes in the affair. Last year Ellendale High School won the meet from a field of nine schools through the efforts of Wayne Mer- N-l Rarities One of the most colorful traditions on the campus, the N-l Rarities date back to 1936, when the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. combined to produce a vaudeville show to raise funds with which to send delegates to national youth conferences. The first show was patterned after Major Bowes' radio pro- gram, which was then at the height of its popularity. Sinces that time, the Rarities have developed into a variety contest of musical, comedy, and novelty numbers. This year's production was under the direction of Melvin Buck, president of the Y.M.C.A. His pro- duction staff included Ruth Senecal, Floyd Sheppard, Gerald Hill, Henry Weisz, and Ann Strand, with Ben Ulmer serving as Master-of-Ceremonies. Proceeds of the contest went to the fund for sending delegates rick, Donald Porter, Gerald Hill, and Barton Slem- mons, now members of the N-l squad. The Senior Reception was added to the program in 1937, with seniors from forty high schools in seven counties invited to a program and dance after the track meet. The largest number of visitors came in 1940, when 450 high school seniors thronged the Ellendale High School gymnasium, where the formal dance was held. After a lapse of four years during the war, the Reception was revived last year, with 200 high school seniors attending the sixth annual event. This year the Senior Reception was directed by Henry Balliet as general chairman, assisted by Sylvia Hoi Ian, Robert Anderson, Kathryn Gebhardt, Clarence Blecha, Leland White, and Dwight Dwello as committee heads. Groups of students toured the southern part of the state to deliver personal invita- tions to seniors in the high schools which are cus- tomarily invited to the Reception. from both clubs to the national convention at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. With nearly half the students in college taking part, the Rarities uncovered much hidden talent vor entertainment. Clarence Biderstedt and his sweet potato solos on the ocarina won first prize in the individual division for the second straight year, while Reuben Treiber and his accordion placed second. A comedy skit consisting of Floyd Sheppard, Arthur Cook, and Fred Bell placed first in the small Ljroup division; a vocal trio composed of Lenora Bell, Esther and Irene Rath placed second, and a comedy team consisting of William Randall, Robert Coleman, and Neil Smith placed third. First prize in the large group division was won by the N-l Players, with the Alphian Society placing second and the Junior College third. Pago Forty-six Pago Forty-seven Parties Many parties are held on the N-l campus during the year, most of them restricted affairs given by clubs and departments for their members. But the Student Council sponsors a number of special parties for all students of the college. These parties usually fake the form of dances, with games and other entertainment provided for those who do not dance. The big events of the year, besides the Homecoming and Senior Reception dances, are those celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, and St. Valentine's Day. This year, as always, the Valentine Party was the most colorful of the all-school dances. Traditionally a costume masquercde, the setting this year was a small-scale Mardi Gras under the direction of Henry Weisz as general chairman. His chief assistants were Robert Blatchford, Mary Lou Kronberg, Dwight Dwello, and Floyd Sheppard. Prizes were awarded for costumes in several divisions, including most beautiful, most appropriate, and most comic. Winners of prizes were Fern Hayenga and Alex Silvernagel, Esther Mintz and Clarence Blecha, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Srhmierer, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Balliet, Merton Andresen and Lorraine Grant, Arthur Cook and Edna Fleming, Dwight Dwello, Mildred E. Peterson, and Robbie Blatchford. Pcge Forty-eight Fcgc ForJy-nir.e Page Fifty Football Basketball Track Page Fifty-one Football The 1946 football season was the firs. post-war season with intercollegiate conference competition. All the battles on the gridiron were hard, driving contests, for every team was strengthened by return- ing servicemen. The Dustie squad consisted of about twenty-nine men, six of whom were pre-war letter- men: Earl Johnson, Carl Sand, Don Thorpe, Leo Lacher, Henry Balliet, and Jim Anderson. Alan Brown and Wilburf Thurn, regulars from 1945, were also on hand. The rest of the squad was composed of freshmen and a few others with little or no ex- perience. Prospects were only fair. The opening contest of the season, September 20, saw the Dusties defeated 13 to 0 by the superior reserve power of Northern Teachers of Aberdeen. During the first half of the game the Dusties held up well, but were worn down by their opponents in the second half. The Wolves' first counter came in the third period, and their second in the final quar- ter. Everyone enjoyed the scenic trip to the Black Hills when the Dusties played a night game in Rapid City September 27 against the State School of Mines. While there most of the boys went to see Mt. Rushmore and other scenic spots. This enjoyment partly offset the disappointment of a bad defeat by the Miners, 31 to 6. Despite rain which fell through- out the game, the Miners displayed a sensational passing attack. The Dusties were eleven disorgan- ized men during the first half, but finally came to life in the third quarter. Lacher scored on a 40-yard sprint to open the fourth quarter, thus saving his team from a shut-out. Dickinson came for a game here October 5, play- ing in the mud and rain. The Dusties defeated the Savages 6 to 0 for their only win of the year as Don Berg picked a Dickinson fumble out of the air and ran 40 yards to a touchdown. Throughout the game the Dusties held the upper hand, capitalizing on the fumbles of their opponents. On October 11 the Dusties went to Wahpeton to climax the Wild- cats' Homecoming festivities in a night gridiron battle. During the first half the N-l showed superior strength, threatening to score sev- eral times before Lacher finally took the ball over on a 40-yard runback of a punt. The half ended v ith the Dusties out ahead and showing promise of holding that lead. However, the second half turned up an epidemic of Dustie injuries, and the Wilcats scored twice on drives which started with sleeper passes. Page Fifiy-lwo Leo Lacker HUHWCK.

Poge Fifty-three Football The Dusties ployed for another foreign Home- coming when they provided Mayville with gridiron competition October 19. The first half was a fairly even battle, but early in the third quarter the Dusties staged a 60-yard drive initiated by Connie Juelke, a new and valuable addition to the squad, who transferred to the N-l from the University of North Dakota. The drive ended when Connie drove over for a touchdown. Again in that quarter the Dusties staged a long drive with Juelke carrying the load, but a fumble on the 5-yard line ended the threat. The Comets scored late in the final quarter to sal- vage a 6 to 6 tie for their Homecoming throng. Shifts in the lineup saw men playing unfamiliar positions, as injuries put five Dusties on the bench in the last quarter. Ellendale's first post-war Homecoming celebration was dampened when the Dusties went down to de- feat at the hands of the Jamestown Jimmies, 7 to 0. The Jimmies' score came midway in the second quarter on a pass. The rest of the game was a matter of stiff defensive play on the part of the Dusties, who stopped Jamestown scoring threats time after time. The final game of the season was with the Valley City Vikings November 2. Despite the fact that the Dusties played their best game of the year, they lost by a score of 20 to 13 as a disputed out-of-bounds play gave the Vikings a touchdown in the closing moments of play. The Dusties made the most of their opportunities early in the game. On their first offen- sive play, Lacher ran over right tackle for twenty yards and a touchdown. On ihe first play of the second quarter Earl Johnson took a short pass from Don Berg and made a spectacular 40-yard run through the entire Viking lineup for the second Dustie score. The Vikings then staged a drive for a touchdown to cut the Dustie lead to 13 to 6 at half- time. In the final quarter the Vikings tied up the game with another touchdown. Then came the play which was disputed. The Vikings tried a sleeper pass which connected on the 2-yard line, but to nearly everybody on the heavily-packed sidelines the receiver had caught the ball out of bounds. But the officials, back in the center of the field, were in no position to see the play, and ruled if com- pleted. The Vikings pushed the ball over in three plays, and carried off the victory. The season's greatest drawback was the epidemic of injuries which plagued the Dusties in every game. The injuries ranged from the badly-tufned ankles of Jim Anderson, Bob Dillingham, and Leo Lacher, to the shoulder injury of Wayne Merrick, to the slight concussion of Gene Kruger, to the knee injuries that put Bart Slemmons and Carl Sand out of action late in the season. Every player was at one time or another so badly bruised that he was not able to play his best brand of ball. Earl Johnson was the Dustie standout during the season. The big tackle played end as much as any- where else, as he took over for injured players on both sides of the line. At the end of lie season he was a unanimous choice at tackle on the coaches' all-conference team, and received honorable men- tion on Williams' Little All-America team. He was one of two players from the Dakotas so honored, and the only conference player ever to be given such recognition. Leo Lacher and Don Thorpe were accorded honorable mention on the all-conference squad. Others given consideration were Carl Sand, Warren Merrick, the team of Bob Dillingham and Wayne Merrick at ends, Don Berg and Connie Juelke in the backfield. The Dusties lose five regulars by graduation, in- cluding all three tackles who earned letters this year. Lettermen were Dillingham, Wayne Merrick, and Bob McMillan at ends,- Johnson, Bolliet, and Anderson at tackles,- Sand, Thorpe, Thurn, and Ralph Youngman at guards,- Orrin Morrow and Bart Slemmons at center,- Lacher, Juelke, Kruger, Warren Merrick, Don and Russ Berg, and Neil Smith in the backfield.

Although only one veteran was on hand, that veteran was Leo Lacher, generally regarded as the best court performer in the state and one of the greatest ever to don a cage costume in North Dakota. To team with him. Coach Senn Slemmons had four members of his Ellendcile High School team which won the state Class B championship in 1945 and several former Oakes and Edgeley High School stars. They were Wayne and Warren Merrick, Bob Dillingham, Bart Slemmons, Don and Russ Berg, Connie Juelke, and Gene Kruger. But fans knew that all other teams in the conference would be stronger than usual, and a close race was in prospect The Dusties got off to a good start by winning their first three early-season games in handy fashion. They walloped the Eureka Independents 52 to 22, barely squeezed past the Huron Scalpers 47 to 45, and swamped the touring Northern Montana State team 62 to 46, before entering the State Inter- collegiate tournament just before the Christinas holidays. There the N-l crew established themselves as one of the favorites by dealing a decisive defeat to the Bottineau Foresters 64 to 42 in the first round. But they lost in the semi-finals to the University of North Dakota 54 to 50 after leading most of the way, and were nosed out by the Valley City Vikings for third place 61 to 58, with Warren Merrick absent because of illness. Following the tournament the Dusties hit a slump from which they momentarily recovered only twice during the rest of the season, although they showed flashes of that early promise in every game. They led throughout three quarters of all but two contests, yet faded in the final moments to lose eight of their ten conference games. Chief cause of their inability to held the pace through forty minutes of basketball was their lack of capable reserves to spell the regulars, while most of their opponents were using as many as twelve men per game without noticeable loss of efficiency. After bowing to Northern of Aberdeen in the first game of the new year 49 to 40, the Dusties jour- neyed to Dickinson for a pair of conference contests. There they lost to the Savages in the first game 59 to 52, and bowed again in an overtime contest 56 to 51 after leading until the final two minutes. Returning home, they won all but the last half- minute of a game with Jamestown, which the de- fending loop champs eked out by the score of 53 to 51. Again the Dusties led for three quarters in their first game against Mayville, but faded in the final session to take the short end of a 67 to 61 score. When the high-flying Minot Beavers came to Ellendale, the Dusties pulled out of their slump to put on two rousing exhibitions of good ball. With Leo Lacher setting a new conference record with 30 points, the N-l ran off with the first game 65 to 52. They staged a great battle in the second contest and led until the final minute, but bowed at the finish 54 to 53. Fans found it a pleasure to watch those games, as both teams displayed beautiful basketball. Then came the Dusties' poorest exhibition of the season, as they bowed to the Wahpeton Wildcats 49 to 43 in a ragged affair. Following that debacle, they engaged in a non-conference tilt at Valley City which was more like a football game than a basket- ball contest as the Dusties, minus two regulars, were battered into submission by the score of 56 to 53. But the N-l put on their last good game of the season in a return contest with the Vikings, Lacher scoring 22 points to lead his mates to a 62 to 55 win. With Warren Merrick out of the lineup, the Dusties took a bad beating from Wahpeton 69 to 46, but did better against the powerful Bismarck Phantoms in holding them to a 63 to 47 victory in an exhibition game. The quint closed its season by absorbing a 73 to 55 defeat at the hands of the champion Mayville team, although Lacher staged a fancy scoring spree to count 25 points. Statistics give Lacher the major share of honors for the season. The big center won the conference scoring championship for the third time, scoring 186 points in ten games for an average of 18.6 per game. His 30 points for one game was a new loop record. He was unanimously selected on the confer- ence coaches' all-star team for the fourth time. He scored 291 points in nineteen games for the season, 1 17 of them coming on free throws. Although finish- ing next to the bottom of the standings, the Dusties had the best offense, scoring 536 points for an average of 53.6 per game. But they also had the poorest defense, yielding 587 points for 58.7 per game. Pago Fifty-six bob Dilliivqtanv Leo Lacker QUAA.O IV rreiv MerricL OUAK bext yfenvnv.oiVs ' V — .

Track The N-I's 1946 track season was pretty much a history of Leo Lacher's triumphs on the cinder paths in five meets. After showing considerable promise as a treshman in 1942, the big fellow came back from the service last spring to show his heels to all comers, piling up the amazing total of 13016 points in the five meets in which the N-l competed, for a meet average of 26 1 5, a new N-l, conference, and Northwest record. Leo's biggest day came in the conference meet at Valley City May 24, where he won six events and placed in two others for a total of 33 points, eclipsing the old record of 29 points set by the N-I's George Rempfer in 1941. In winning the high and low hurdles in 15.5 and 24.9 seconds, Leo was just a tenth of a second over the conference records in those events. He also won the 100 and 220 yard dashes, the broad jump, and discus, placed third in the shot put, and tied for third in the high jump. Prospects were only fair at the start of the season, with Henry Balliet the only former state and con- ference winner available, and Lacher and Earl Johnson the only other lettermen. Clarence Neu- mann, Norman Goehner, Art Meidinger, Don Enger, and Ray McDermott completed the small squad. which did far better than fans expected, thanks to Lacher's big season. Bob Bauer, a former letterman whose war injuries kept him out of the sport at the start of the season, joined the squad for the last two meets to boost the Dusties' scoring total. The season got underway with a tuneup meet at Aberdeen April 17, where the Dusties and Northern Teachers ran through nine events they expected to enter the next week in the Aberdeen Relays. The Dusties scored 45 points to the Wolves' 33, with Lacher accounting for 2516 by winning the 100 yard dash, broad jump, high jump, and discus, placing second in the shot put, and participating on two winning relay teams. Meidinger paced the field in the mile run, Neumann took second in the broad jump, Goehner second in the mile, and McDermott third in the pole vault. Neumann, Balliet, Johnson, and Lacher won the G-l 440 yard relay, and Balliet, Johnson, Lacher, and Enger captured the sprint medley relay. The Aberdeen Relays April 26 were a disappointment to the Dusties as Lacher pulled a muscle in the preliminaries and was forced to with- draw, the N-l salvaging only a fifth in the sprint medley on the efforts of Balliet, Johnson, Enger, and McDermott. Page Fiffy-oight The Dusties scored 47 and 50 points, respectively, in Quadrangular and Pentangular meets at James- town Moy 3 and 10, finishing ahead of all but the large and versatile Jamestown College squad both times. The Jimmies won the Quadrangular with 81 points, Dickinson placed third with 21, and Minot finished last with 13. In the Pentangular the Jimmies counted 67 h. North Dakota Agricultural College 30, Northern Teachers 8i, and Concordia College 5A. Lacher scored 26 points in each meet. On May 3 he won both hurdles and the 100 yard dash, placed second in the broad jump, discus, and 220 yard dash, and third in the shot put. In the Pentangular he won both hurdles and both dashes, placed third in the discus, fourth in the shot put and broad jump, and tied for second in the high jump. In the Quad- rangular, Meidinger won the two-mile run, Enger was second in the mile and third in the half-mile, Balliet second in the 440 yard dash, Goehner third in the mile, Johnson third in the javelin, and McDermott fourth in the pole vault. Johnson, Goehner, McDer- mott, and Balliet gave the Dusties second place in the mile relay. In the Pentangu- lar, Meidinger won the two- mile and placed second in the mile, Enger was second in the half-mile and third in the mile, Balliet second in the 440, and Neumann first the javelin. Johnson, Bal- in liet. in Neu- the McDermott, and mann placed second mile relay.

Johnson ....................... Henry Balliet ......................... Senn D. Slemmons ...................... The N-l Lettermen's Club was first organized in 1936, and has been one of the most active organ- izations on the ccmpus. Athletes having earned letters in any major sport are eligible for member- ship. The main purpose of the club is to promote better athletics and sportsmanship, an aim which is emphasized in the annual initiation of new members. The club serves as c medium for uniting the athletes of the school, thereby encouraging better coopera- tion among them. The club serves cs an incentive for more students to try to earn letters, and also encourages high ................................President ......................Secrelary-T reasurer ..................................Adviser school athletes to enter the N-l for their college training. The club has standardized the college letter for football, basketball, and track so that it cannot be used by students taking part in activities other than these sports. The organization awards a sweater to each mem- ber who has earned three letters in any one of the major sports. It also awards a medal to any member who has competed in more than one major sport for four successive years, the medal entitling its owner to attend school activities without charge, even after graduation. Women's Athletic Association Beulah Blount ....... Ilene Bobbe ....... Mary Lee Marshall Edith Raisanen .... Marjorie Schelfhout OFFICERS ..........President .....Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer ...........Reporter .......Adviser The Women's Athletic Association was reorgan- ized this year after a recess of three years during the war when there were too few girls on the campus to maintain the club. At the beginning of the year a plan was set up whereby a girl could earn a sweater or letter by gaining points in athletics. Activities through which points were awarded are soccer, basketball, folk dancing, tennis, badminton, hiking, table tennis, softball, bowling, and social dancing. This year the club activities began with Home- coming, for which the W.A.A. contributed a parade float depicting the various activities of the associa- tion. Later in the fall several of the members braved the elements to cook breakfast over an open fire. So successful were the bacon and eggs that the members decided to try a wiener roast. The wind and rain interfered, but the girls discovered that the light housekeeping kitchen of Dacotah Hall made a fine park and two electric stoves made good camp fires. The highlight of the year was the assembly pro- gram presented by the club. The setting was a coke bar where a group of girls had gathered after school. The conversation turned to folk dancing, and the girls demonstrated dances for each other: Irish Lilt, Oxdansen, Minuet, Dutch dance, Sailor's dance, Russian dance, and American square dance. Ilene Bobbe, Beulah Blount, Wilma Jean Weber, and Rosemary Ham did a repeat performance of the Irish Lilt and Dutch dance as the club's contribution to the N-l Rarities.
