The News of the School of Agriculture O MATTER how proud you may be of your own community, does it not always give you increased pride in it when you receive the first publication of the home-town paper? Why do you have this pleasant reaction? It is because you want to spread the news of your wonderful community and acquaint others with the activities that are going on in it. This is exactly the reason that we have our school newspaper. We must let the rest of the world know that the Aggie Harriers won a difficult cross-country race, that a member of the class of '20 is an authority on agri- cultural ills in Labrador and that the school debating team won by a safe margin in their competition with a well-known school. The Alumni must know how their favorite literary societies are functioning and when the home-coming field meet is to be held. With this in mind the members on the staff and Miss Johanna Hognason, the faculty adviser, have sought to mold together a publication that will reflect the fine educational and social environment which is prevalent in the school. In the finished product are embodied many hours of writing, proof-reading, and 'tdummyv making. Each rnonth's issue must be out on time, so much of the work is of necessity carried late into the night. But all these handicaps are forgotten, when at last the paper is viewed with the pride of accomplishment, for it is the result of the best efforts of the staff. -MELVIN KULLHEM. Page Ni1zefy-eight

These proved to be very interesting contests. Those chosen by Miss Langtry, the Coach, and Mr. Lansing, of the Rhetoric department, to represent the school in inter-scholastic debates were Wilma Soehren, Harry Nelsen, I-Ijalmar Hulin, Carol O'Daniels, George Wilkens, Walter Clausen and Myron Clark. Several good debates were staged with some of the Twin City high schools and other educational institutions, in which the Aggies always argued their way to the front. However, these were only preliminaries to the big events of the season, namely, the clash of the Aggie afiirmative team consisting of George Wilkens, Harry Nelsen, and Myron Clark, with representatives from the Crookston School of Agriculture, and the debate between the Aggie negative team, composed of Walter Clausen, Hjalmar Hulin, and Carol O'Daniels, and the affirmative team of the Morris School of Agri- culture. The question for debate this year is one of general interest and importance. It is: Resolved, that the several states should enact legislation to provide for compulsory unemployment insurance. With an important question of the day for discussion and with the excellent coaching of Miss Monica Langtry, the Aggie debating teams should go far this year. -MYRON CLARK. Pagr Nil16t-j'-XFl'Fll

Carl Sierk took the part of the Boys' Athletics, and was followed by William Haight, Student Life Editor. Hold that smile! Please! Yes, that was David Johnson, one of the Photographic Editors, taking a picture of the assembly. Milton Swenson, Business Manager, spoke on the finances of the Board. Lastly Russell Hoven, Editor-In-Chief, acknowledged the appreciation of the board for the loyalty and support of the classes. As a final warning, Vincent Swanson was the boy who didn't have his picture taken. Owing to a slight illness, Sadie Hoven, the Girls' Athletic Editor, was unable to take part in the pageant. The Agrarian Board was extremely fortunate in having Miss Laura Matson for their advisor, who gave so generously of her time and advice to the success of the annual. -RUSSELL I-IovEN.
