NUMBER 2
Kryl And His Orchestra .
To Appear In Concert
DATE IS FRIDAY, OCT. 9
Program Will Feature Conductor As
Noted Cornetist and Margery Max-well
As Vocalist
Kryl, the unrivalled virtuoso and
conductor, recognized by countless mu-sicians
of world fame and called by
the "Los Angeles Times:" "the most
remarkable cornetist in the world," is
presenting the music-loving public a
superb symphony orchestra compris-ing
an exceptional personnel of art-ists.
This organization, now making
a coast-to-coast tour, is entering upon
its thirty-second consecutive season,
during which period it has given over
twelve thousand concerts and has trav-eled
over one million miles. That the
educational factor of the concerts by
Kryl and his Symphony Orchestra is
fully appreciated, is demonstrated by
the repeat engagements, year after
year, by colleges and universities
where this magnetic organization has
appeared.
In recent years, Kryl and his Sym-phony
have appeared in more than one
hundred colleges and universities an-nually.
Proof of universal acclaim and
the enthusiastic reception accorded to
Kryl and his Symphony Orchestra by
the music critics everywhere can be
seen from a few of their press com-ments
shown:
"Philadelphia Ledger": "At times
the music seemed almost to die away,
leaving only the echoes of the pipes
of Pan, and then again it swelled with
all the fury of a mountain stream, to
a volume and mellowness of a great
pipe organ."
"New York Times": "Kryl is com-plete
master of the difficult instru-ment,
and conductor of a great organ-ization."
"Chicago Tribune:" "As a director
he is without peer, as a virtuoso he is
unrivaled."
Margery Maxwell, Sophano, an Am-erican-
born and American trained art-ist
who has the rare distinction of hal,-
ing an international reputation, having
appeared in many European as well
as American opera companies, will
appear with the orchestra. Her re-cent
success in France with the Grand
Opera Company of Bordeaux was
phenomenal.
Students and faculty members will
be admitted on their activity tickets,
but must pay twenty-five cents if
they wish a reserved. seat. Reserved
tickets for all other adults will be
seventy-five cents and for children
fifty cents. Tickets are on sale in the
secretary's office; the concert is Fri-day
evening, October 9, in the college
auditorium.
Advertise Gypsy Day
Sponsored by the Gypsy Day com-mittee,
trips were made to neighbor-ing
towns by several faculty teams,
last week, for the purpose of distrib-uting
posters, window cards, and oth-er
Gypsy Day information. The teams
making the trips and the towns visit-ed
are as follows: Bersagel and Cle-worth—
Westport, Bath, Barnard,
Frederick, Houghton, Hecla, Columbia,
Claremont, Amherst, Britton, Lang-ford,

HICKERY STICK MEET
FOR ANNUAL FROLIC
The Hickory Stick, an organization
for men teachers embracing the
Northeastern section of the State, ga-thered
in Aberdeen last Saturday for
the annual district meeting featuring
sports, speeches, and a banquet. A
group of one hundred five sat down
to dinner at six thirty at the College
Cafeteria; almost as many participat-ed
in the tennis and golf tournaments
held during the afternoon.
At the banquet Dr. I. D. Weeks,
president of the State University, and
Big Stick, was the main speaker, his
subject being "Educational Problems
in South Dakota." President Weeks
feels that there are a large number
of serious problems confronting the
state, but he is optimistic that they
will be solved in the right way.
Awards for excellence in sports
were announced by those in charge:
N. H. Mewaldt for golf and Les
Svanoe of Milbank for tennis. E. L.
Bersagel awarded the prizes and also
announced that thirty-five Aberdeen
merchants contributed the awards for
the occasion.
SUNNYSIDE PUPILS
WIN HIGH HONORS
Marjorie Melzard and Evalyn Yoder,
members of the Happy Hustlers 4-H
Club, represented Brown County at
the State Fair competing there with
other teams of the state in a demon-stration
on "The Making and Uses of
Cottage Cheese." They won the cham-pionship
of the state and will repre-sent
South Dakota in a similar demon-stration
on October 12 at the Texas
Centennial.
They will leave on October 8, Miss
Esther Taskerud accompanying them
as chaperone.
Evalyn Yoder is also one of Brown
County's health champions. Both are
former pupils of Sunnyside Demon-stration
School. One of the outstand-ing
achievements of Sunnyside is the
training or developing in leadership.
The girls were complimented on their
ability of cooperation and team work.
Miss Margaret Neville is the teacher.
DEBATE OUTLOOK GOOD
This year promises to be exception-ally
favorable in the speech depart-ment.
Two all-Americans are back in
the work again, Joseph Robbie and
Phyllis Roberts. Phyllis Avery, sen-ior;
Frances Flint, sophomore; Owen
Campbell, junior; Vernon Williams,
sophomore; Margaret Marks, junior
and Elmer Englebretsen, sophomore,
all former speech students, are in line
again. In the freshman role are some
very promising people. Lucille Gross,
Doland, the leading woman high school
debater in the state last year, leads
the race. Philip Banks, Clark was on
the team that won the Northern dis-trict
in high school debating and is
out for more. A number of others
are enrolled in speech who will be out
for debate and oratory. This coming
Saturday, October 3, the South Da-kota
Forensic Association meets at
Mitchell, S. Dak.
The official Pi Kappa Delta debate
question for the year 1936-37 is:
"That Congress Should be Empower-ed
to Fix Minimum Wages and Maxi-mum
Hours for Industry."
LOMBARDS GIVE PROGRAM
In the memory of Dr. Seymour, who
died last Tuesday morning, the Tues-day
assembly stood in prayer a mo-ment
before the period was turned ov-er
to the Lombards, the assembly en-tertainers.
In respect to Mr. Sey-mour
the company who was billed as
the Workshop of Melody and Mirth
omitted the latter and presented a pro-gram
of songs from opera and stage
plays.
Their repertoire included: songs
from the operas Carmen, Chu Chin
Chow, Madame Butterfly, and Il Pag-liacci;
piano selections by Beethoven,
Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff and Schu-bert.
Mrs. Lombard gave a dramatic
reading in the Italian dialect. Mr.
Lombard in costume sang several
numbers. Mr. and Mrs. Lombard have
beers vagabonding the past number of
years singing their way on Lyceum
programs in colleges and other schools
throughout the United States.
Dr. Seymour Dies
One of the greatest shocks
that has come to the campus
in recent years was the an-nouncement
of the death of
Dr. A. H. Seymour, Vice-
President of the school and
head of the Social Science De-partment.
The death occur-red
at 12:30 Tuesday morn-ing.
As the Exponent goes to
press no definite details are
available. Dr. Seymour join-ed
the Northern faculty in
1914 and since his coming
has been one of the most pop-ular
members on the faculty.
He will be greatly missed.
Next week's Exponent will be
devoted to a summary of his
many activities, not only con-nected
with the school, but
the entire State of South Da-kota.
Faculty Men Honored
Professor J. H. Jensen of the science
department has accepted membership
as a "Fellow of the American Insti-tute
of Chemists" who have their
headquarters in New York City. At
the present time Mr. Jensen is one of
two members from the state of South
Dakota.
The American Institute of Chemists
was organized about twelve years ago
for the purpose of establishing a pro-fessional
standing for the chemist.
The status of the Profession of Chem-istry
should be on the par with that
of any learned profession. The In-stitute
is wholly a professional organ-ization.
It is founded on the princi-ple
that solidarity of action is essen-tial
to the success of any profession.
It is particularly concerned with the
problems of seeing that the training
for the profession is adequate and
that only those who are qualified to
practice the profession of chemistry
are considered as chemists.
Mr. Baillie, art instructor, narrowly
missed being co-starred with Mickey
Mouse. He was working in the Walt
Disney studios as one of the five chos-en
out of 2,000 artists the nation over
for a two and one-half weeks training
school in the land of Silly Symphonies.
Mr. Baillie was given a screen test for
the part of a prince's voice. Some of
Mr. Baillie's drawings of the famous
Mickey Mouse characters will be on
exhibit at the college "Open House"
before Christmas, and he also plans to
give several lectures on the subject,
illustrated with his drawings.
MARIE CHAMBERLAIN
VOTED GYPSY QUEEN
GULLY IS MARSHAL
Campaign For Coveted Honors Was
Strenuous And Warm; Candidates
Were All Popular Students
Campaign interest at Northern
reached blood heat last Monday as the
polls were opened for the annual elec-tion
of a Gypsy Day Marshal and a
Gypsy Day Queen.
A special assembly was held at 10
A. M., at which time William Elliott,
president of the Student Council, in-troduced
the candidates. Miss Marie
Chamberlain and Miss Mary Ellen
Bantz, both of Aberdeen, w ere the
candidates for Queen; Walter Gully
of Willow Lake, John Stahl of Aber-deen,
and Herbert Babcock of Butler,
were the candidates for Marshal.
Signs supporting the various candi-dates,
and mimeographed sheets, ex-tolling
their virtues, were much in ev-idence,
as managers of the candidates
closed their drive for votes. Interest
in the race between Miss Chamber-lain
and Miss Bantz was especially
keen. The polls were open between
10:30 and 12:00 a. m., and between
1:30 and 5:00 p. m.
When the votes were counted, it
was found that Marie Chamberlain
was chosen as the 1936 Gypsy Day
Queen and Walter Gully as Marshal.
WOLVES PLAY MINES
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3
With two successful non-conference
starts to their credit, the Northern
Wolves will on Saturday, Oct. 3, bloW
the lid off their 1936 conference cam-paign
in an encounter with the School
of Mines Hardrockers at Rapid City.
The Wolves possess a 19-2 triumph
over Ellendale Normal and a 7-6 win
over Wayne Normal in their engage-ments
thus far, while Mines was tied
0-0, by Dickinson, N. D. Normal in her
only match up to now.
Last year's Wolf pack gained their
only conference victory at the expense
of the Hardrockers on Gypsy Day, by
a 7-0 score, so will go into this year's
fray as slight favorites, because of
this and their more impressive pre-season
record.
WOLVES TAKE GAME
FROM WAYNE NORMAL
SCORE IS 7 TO 6
Victory Is Featured By Strong Wolf
Defense; Laurels Well Divided
Among Entire Team
A fighting pack of Northern Wolves
that refused to be beaten repulsed a
powerful Wayne, Nebraska, aggrega-tion,
Friday night, 7 to 6, with as dog-gen
an exhibition of defensive play
as has been seen on Johnson Field for
some time.
No less than five times, the Wolves
fought off the Nebraskans with their
backs to the wall and the visitors
knocking at the portals of the North-ern
goal. Many times the ball lacked
mere inches of being across the final
chalk mark, but the tenacious Wolves
proved equal to the task each time, un-til
the final minute of play, when
Wayne Normal at last pushed the ball
over.
Every Northerner on the field per-formed
in outstanding fashion, but
Connie Kelleher and Rood provided the
' outstanding thrills of the evening by
engineering the breaks that brought
the Wolves the victory. Kelleher
charged into the Wayne backfield ear-ly
in the fourth period, intercepted a
lateral pass, and scurried to the enemy
five yard mark, where he was finally
dragged down. After three plays had
failed to bring a score, Kelleher haul-ed
down a pass in the end zone from
Pierce to put Northern in the lead.
Lenhart, Northern's other sterling end
place-kicked the ball squarely between
the uprights to provide the margin of
victory.
Rood, reserve fullback, played the
hero role, when, in the closing seconds
of play, he blocked Wayne's attempted
place kick for the extra point, after
Isom had skirted end for a touchdown.
Had the conversion been successful,
Wayne would have tied the count at
7-all.
Northern's entire line functioned in
stellar fashion. Kelleher and Len-hart
at ends were sparkplugs in the
Wolf attack from the first whistle to
the last. Clocksin, Knudson, and Lu-demann,
in the center of the line, took
a lot of punishment, but bore up under
the Wayne onslaughts, and were of in-valuable
service in the goal line
stands. Clements and Houge played
well at the tackle posts.
In the backfield Pierce bore the
brunt of the passing duties, with Lane,
Adelman, and Pape giving valuable
aid in the ball lugging department.
Wayne outgained Northern from
scrimmage, 102 yards to 52; and from
passing, 43 yards to 7, but the Wolves
made 5 first downs to 3 for the Ne-braskans.
