"The Return of Peter Grimm" Wins Favor With Audience Werru itihriottneo EMPLOYED STUDENTS HIGH IN SCHOLARSHIP RELIEF SURVEY MADE Frosh Workers Show Best Margin ; Unemployed Sen-iors Only Group To Lead Class In Average The following data have been com-piled by the Student Relief Office in reference to grades made by stud-ents working on Student Relief and by those who are not working. This material was gathered from re-cords of the fall quarter's work. No student doing relief work was per-mitted to work more than eight hours in any one day or 30 hours in any one week. The average amount of time students worked was approximately twelve hours per week. In collecting grades of the non-working group, students were chosen who were not on either relief or state payrolls, and were picked at random with no attention being made to indi-viduals or their records. In order to arrive at a fair basis of comparison the same number of non-working stu-dents were chosen as the number working on relief. First row of figures denotes average number of hours carried per person. Second row of figures denotes aver-age number of honor points earned per person.

It makes one raise his eyebrows when he hears native Dakotans broad-ening their "r's" and taking on the appearance of going eastern here. But as in the case of most affected speech, it doesn't ring true.

The Exponent Northern State Teachers College VOLUME XXXIII ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, DECEMBER 20, 1934 NUMBER 12 WOLVES LOSE GAME TO 'HOUSE OF DAVID' SCORE IS 39 TO 34 Babcock, Stahl and Neudi-gate Are Outstanding For Local Team The Northern Wolves opened their 1934-35 basketball campaign last Tuesday night at Spafford Hall by losing to the rangy House of David team by a 39 to 34 score. The bewhiskered Davids, like all good traveling teams, scored as many points as they desired and then took it easy by playing "keep away" in the last half. The first half found the bearded clan throwing up an airtight defense through which the Wolves could pene-trate for only eight points, while the invaders rolled up 26 without appar-ent effort. With but three minutes to go and the visitors out in front, 39 to 19, Northern was allowed to make baskets without any resistance on the part of the Davids. Due to this re-laxation, the Wolves were able to boost their final tally to within five points of that held by the whiskered club, as the game ended. Before the Davids relaxed, only "Herbie" Babcock, flashy forward, and Johnny Stahl, stellar guard, were having any success in hitting the hoop for Northern. "Bab" sank four bas-kets while it was still a ball game and then pushed through four more in the last few minutes. Stahl dropped in a couple of beautiful long shots. The David players were all over six feet in height whereas not one of Coach Carberry's quint even ap-proaches six feet. Ray Neudigate, diminutive guard, with a scrappy defensive exhibition, shared what starring honors there were with Babcock who rolled up 16 points. With the return of Marvin (Continued on Page 2) 81 Freshman Are Taking Honor Course The English Department reports that there are now 81 freshmen tak-ing English 102-B, the honor course more commonly known as the top section. The policy of allowing ad-vanced freshmen to take this special course, for which they receive six hours credit toward an English ma-jor, was adopted last year. The same textbook is being used, with the es-say and biography stressed during the winter quarter, and the short story, novel, and poetry in the spring. The faculty held their regular meet-ing Tuesday, December 11, at which time Mr. Murphy gave an excellent talk on the Saar plebescite. COMING EVENTS Orchestra Concert Dec. 20 Brookings, B.

H. Mewaldt to give a talk to this class and he graciously complied. Mr. Halstead and friends have done a great deal in the study of astrono-my and have accomplished much in the line of research work. He has given previous talks to Boy Scouts and other groups. In regard to the slides of the moon and other various heavenly bodies, he explained the cause of the northern lights and the glacial periods on the earth. He also stated his belief that inside of twenty-five years people of the earth will be able to communicate with other plan-ets by some modern invention. OLD RELIC PLACED IN COLLEGE MUSEUM Miss Anna Wenz, one of the early pioneers of South Dakota, has given to the Northeastern Historical Asso-ciation a high wheeled bicycle which was brought here about 1882. The bicycle will be temporarily placed in the N. S. T. C. museum in Central Building. Other valuable old records of the school districts around Bath and let-ters of information about the early day newspapers have been turned over to the Association for the privilege of copying by Mr. Titus Wenz, broth-er of Anna Wenz. This material at rresent forms the nucleus of the Northeastern Historical Association museum. THE NORTHERNERS --- It is rumored that The Northerners propose to put on a display of school talent. Their plan is to give a varie-ty of entertainment by asking stud-ents on the campus with talent to give a few numbers on the nights of school dances. Everyone is eligible. They will first be given a try-out and if they qualify they will appear on the following program. It is also rumored that The North-erners and their novelty numbers will be heard over the local broadcasting station in the near future. They have gained a good reputation and have cnly been organized a short while. In a few years Northern students will be listening to Fedderson's falsetto say-ing, "The name of this song is Dinah", over the N. B. C. network. PROF. JAMES DIRECTS Lyle Weishaar Gives Excel-lent Interpretation of Title Role; Setting Draws Many Comments For the third consecutive play coached by Professor Earl James he has demonstrated beyond a question his ability as a dramatic coach. Three things are necessary for a successful dramatic production: a director with a keen sense of dramatic values, a cast capable of interpreting and re-spending to suggestions, and a good play. All three of these items were discernable in last week's production of "The Return of Pdter Grimm", ac-claimed generally by the public as one of the finest amateur productions pre-sented in Aberdeen for many years. The play, the nature of which calls for superb character acting, was fill-ed with dramatically tense moments, which were ably maintained by the consistent interpretations of the prin-cipals, Lyle Weishaar as Peter Grimm, Alyce Solberg as Catherine, and Wil-fred Wagner as Frederic. A capable supporting cast, acting with more than correct, mechanical actions. brought the level of the scenes in which they were prominent to heights approximating those scenes carried by the more important players. The work of Lyle Weishaar in the titular role will be remembered as an excellent example of proper charact-er interpretation sustained through three and a half hours of tense situa-tions in which even the slightest fall-ing out of character could not be dis-cerned. Wilfred Wagner carried the part of Frederick splendidly, in spite of the fact that as a character he was thor-oughly disliked by the audience throughout the play. The same thing may be said of Leif Johnson, who however had the advantage of a sym-pathetic audience. Catherine by Alyce Solberg, found favor with her splen-did version of the character of Peter Grimm's adopted favorite, while James Levang gave an admirable in-terpretation of the blustering, old Dr. McPherson. The portrayal of the juv-enile character, William, was unaffect- (Continued on Page 2) THE XMAS SPIRIT, SANTA CLAUS The following article is taken from The Webster Journal which is edited and published by Regent Will A. Wells. It expresses a beautiful senti-ment, a sentiment we all feel and de-sire to be able to express. "Of course there is a Santa Claus; a good-natured Santa Claus, who brings the Christmas time and fills the world with joy; a Santa Claus who makes the earth ring with Christ-mas chimes and carols, who fills the homes with the laughter of children and the hearts of men with the kind-liest thoughts of all the year. There is a Christmas spirit that comes to earth and makes men big and gener-ous. It drives out the spirit of sel-fishness and greed and prompts men to nobler deeds. It prompts friendly acts.- and inspires helpfulness. It causes men and women to forget their sorrow; to cease their worrying and lift, in part, the burdens of their fel-lows. It is a spirit of good will. It wipes away tears and lightens grief; it helps the fallen to rise again', it puts courage into the heart of strug-gling humanity; it brings the im-pulse to forgive; it helps to bear heavy loads; it makes dark places lighter and helps to fill the world with happiness. That is the spirit that makes us send gifts to one another; that spirit is Santa Claus." W. A. A. Sponsor Christmas Dance The Christmas party held in Spar-ford Gymnasium on Saturday evening, December 15, and sponsored by the W. A. A., was a great success. The gym was appropriately decorated with red and green, tinsel, bells, and icicles, all accentuated by spotlights. The Northerners, improving all the lime, furnished most satisfying music. There were three special numbers on the program. Mildred Flory sang several refrains with the orchestra. The Industrial Arts Quartette favored the audience with several numbers. Rhea Robertson, from the high school, performed some excellent tapping. Punch and wafers were served. A large number of the faculty mem-bers attended the party and seemed to enjoy it fully as much as did the students. Prof. and Mrs. Lipscomb were chaperones. SIXTY-ONE URBAN PRACTICE TEACHERS Under the supervision of Prof. M. E. Nugent, Director of Urban Educa-tion, there are sixty-one urban prac-tice teachers in four city schools: Ad-ams, Garfield, Simmons, and Roose-velt. Fifteen of these people are in the kindergarten-primary division, eighteen in the intermediate grade di-vision, and twenty-eight in the upper grade and high school division. Some of these people have taught since the first of December and will continue to the end of the quarter while others will teach till the end of the school term in June. Urban practice teach-ing is done in agreement between the ocllege and the city school board. NEWMAN CLUB MEETS The Newman Club met Wednesday evening in the Men's Faculty room. Reverend Father McCarthy, spiritual adviser of the club, gave an inspir-ational and informational talk on the Ecclesiastical Year of the Church. During the short business meeting, conducted by Mack Kettering, presi-dent, the club decided to receive Holy Communion in a body on next Sunday December 16, at the 8:30 Mass. Dane_ ing was enjoyed by the members pres-ent and refreshments were served. All girls wishing to join Y. W. C. A. this quarter should see -Virginia Kel-ten or Mary Eloise Barstow.
