"What a Life" Angle
Those who saw Northern's first
all-school play, February 23 and
24, are still chuckling and saying,
"What a Life!"
"The cast and I had a happy time
working on the play and I'm sure
it was one of the finest casts I
ever worked with," said Mrs. C. H.
Holgate, director. "The stage and
production committees cooperated
very well and really did some fine
work."
"Troublemaker" Henry Aldrich,
portrayed by Waldon Thiel, kept
the audience chuckling with his
capacity for getting in trouble and
his difficulty in getting out of it.
Annrita Dresselhuys as Barbara
Pearson, Henry's "crush", did a
fine piece of acting. "Hardboiled"
Principal Bradley (Norman Nord-by)
and "lady-killer" George Bige-low
(Art Atack) interpreted their
parts well.
Maribee Hullinger and Warren
Port, as office assistants, added a
touch of romance to the play. Fer-guson,
the detective, played by Fred
Lightenberg, and Beechitto, played
by Warren Thomas, drew shouts of
laughter from the crowd.
Joyce Arthurs, playing the role
of Mrs. Aldrich, and Bill Nicholas,
as the excitable history professor,
turned in excellent performances.
Other players whose splendid
acting added comedy to the play
were: Margaret Lee, Gwen Baptist,
Ruby Young, and Charles Jones.
The play was put down as a big
success financially and otherwise.

the largest west of the Mississippi
and will be attended by schools
from all over the midwest.
This will be the final preparation
of the varsity team before they

at Knoxville, Tennessee,
March 24.
At the National Tournament,
Miss Mantel and Miss Gross will
enter Women's Debate; Miss Gross,
Women's Oratory; and Miss Mantel
will take part in Women's Extem-pore
Speaking. Glenn Kelley and
Phil Banks will represent Northern
in men's debate, Mr. Kelley in
men's oratory, and Mr. Banks in
men's extempore speaking.
"A Boost For Northern
Is A Boost For You",
Is Dean Love's Motto
"Three cheers for Northern! We
are on the way to the top. How
about going with us. We would
like to have you. Plan to come for
both terms this summer."
"Watch Northern grow. Better
still, grow with Northern. I hope
you will plan to come to Northern
for both terms next summer."
"Do you want to be a Northern
alumnus ? We are offering two
terms of school this summer to
help you hurry it up. Be like the
turtle; don't be like the hare and
go to sleep on the way."
These are a sample of Dean Lil-lian
Love's unique way of adver-tising
for Northern's two sessions
of summer school on the campus
this coming summer. She has in-dividualized
letters that she sends
to girls that have previously at-tended
Northern.
Dean Love says, "A boast for
Northern is a boast for you."

Consolidated Into Six
New Plan to Begin in
Fall Quarter of 1940
Northern's thirteen departmental
divisions will be consolidated into
six with the beginning of the 1940
fall quarter. This consolidation
will aid in the development of work
coordination and will tend to reduce
effort and inefficiency. Each divi-sion
will have a chairman and a
secretary.
The new divisions with their
chairman and secretaries are: edu-cation
and psychology, E. A. Bixler,
Velma Ackels; health and physical
education, W. L. Carberry, Ruth
Allen; social science and business
administration, John L. Murphy,
Stella Yates; language and litera-ture,
Dr. G. 0. Kelley, Vera Light-hall;
science and mathematics, J.
H. Jensen, Harry K. Hutter; fine
and industrial arts, H. P. Gerber,
Grace McArthur.
Thes officers, selected by Dr. N.
E. Steele, will serve for the school
year 1940-1941. Thereafter each
chariman will be appointed by the
president and each secretary elected
by members of the different divi-sions.
"This consolidation will go
hand in hand with the faculty re-organization
and the two should
promote better cooperation and un-derstanding
between faculty and
student," Dr. Steele said.
Entertainment To Be
Mosta Of The Besta
Professor Schmidt
To Spring Surprise
Have you saved up all your pen-nies
? Tonight is the night for the
great Penny Carnival and you don't
want to be minus those coppers!
A new feature has been added to
the carnival. Professor Schmidt
has offered to take charge of one
section of the entertainment. He
says it will not be any of his slight
of hand tricks, but declines to give
even Mr. Tostlebe or the committee
as much as a hint of what he is
planning.
"However, knowing Bob," Mr.
Tostlebe says, "we know it will be
good, and no one will want to miss
it."
Remember you need a penny to
get in and a few more pennies to
give you all the things needed for
an evening of fun. Also, you will
not want to miss the Penny dance
which begins at nine o'clock.
All committees report that every-thing
is ready, so be at Northern's
gym at seven o'clock tonight.
The chairmen and vice-chairmen
of the committees for the carnival
are: dance, Bernard Nestor and
Herbert Dahlgren; advertisement,
Gladys Lea and Irene Fenner; tick-et
selling, Henry Wiepking and
Ruth Realsen; coat checking,
Charles Jones and Mable Renner-feldt;
novelty, Elaine Thompson
and Wilma Rukstad; games, Lyle
Anderson and Agnes Olson; side
shows, Helen Batteen and Dorothy
Schwenn; and refreshments, Sam
Jackson and Margaret Anderson.

KABR from 7:00 to 7:15 P. M.
Dr. Hansen, a new teacher at
Northern, will be questioned about
the new men's dorm, which is al-most
ready for occupation. He is
the Men's Dorm director.
Last Tuesday H. 0. Ashton was
interviewed on the forum program.
Mr. Ashton is a teacher in the
social science department at Nor-thern.
He explained all the courses
in government which are offered
at NSTC and gave the objectives of
teaching this subject. How courses
in government help students to re-ceive
Civil Service positions was
explained by Mr. Ashton.
Dr. P. K. Cesander, personnel di-
Octor, announced recently that
he has accepted the Brown county
chairmanship of the South Dakota
Finnish Relief committee at the
request of Lee R. Girton, Sioux
Falls, state chairman of Herbert
Hoover's national movement.
The Minnesota Amusement com-pany
extended its help when they
Trickey, Corn- agreed to run a midnight show ex-pressly
for the relief program.
Proceeds from a children's show
was also turned over to the fund.
In a letter asking Dr. Cesander
to accept the chairmanship, Mr.
Girton referred to the movement's
objective as "an expression of
America's sympathy and admira-tion
for the noble, outraged people
of Finland which must work no
privation upon anyone, but will
reflect our concern for the preser-vation
of our ideals of government,
free speech, and worship, which is
our heritage." Work done for the
committee is entirely voluntary.
