SPEAKER
Schmidt To Be
1941 Pasque Editor
Covington, Carberry
Are Honored in This
Year's Blazing Beauty
Delores Schmidt, Aberdeen ju-nior,
accepted the multiple duties
of Pasque editor for 1941 handed
over by Mary Anne Steig, this
year's editor of Northern's ultra-swellegant
yearbook.
Delores Schmidt
However, Tuesday, May 14 will
always remain in the memories of
N. S. T. C. students as Northern's
red-letter or should it be said, red
book day ? This year's Pasque with
its bright red trimming and its
super-attractive pictures is accord-ing
to all comments the best ever
published.
In keeping with the plans for its
presentation to the faculty and stu-dent
body an assembly was held at
one-thirty in the Auditorium. At
this time the audience was enter-tained
by the college band; the
Pasque board, J. H. McKeever and
W. L. Butler of the McKeever Press,
and Art Segal of the Bureau of
Engraving were introduced.
Following this, a clever skit was
given whereby those to whom the
book was dedicated were intro-duced.
Miss Ruth Covington and
Bill Carberry of the physical edu-cation
department received the
honor this year.
The Pasque picnic scheduled to
be held on the campus had to be
held in Lincoln Hall because of the
inclement weather. This however,
didn't seem to spoil the fun and
plenty of food was stowed away.
At nine in the evening Northern's
student body put a fitting ending to
the day by holding an all school
dance in Spafford gym.
This Should Satisfy
Those Curious About
The Old Book Store
Have you been wondering what
the old book store is going to be
used for? Well, now you can cease
to wonder.
The partition between the secre-tary's
office and what was the
book store has been taken down, so
that in the near future the office
of the financial secretary will be
twice as large as formerly. A
counter will extend the length of
the entire office from north to
south giving the secretary and his
assistants the ample amount of
space they are now lacking.
This change will be a great aid
toward alleviating the congestion
on registration day, as it will be
possible for the students to enter
by the door which was the door to
the book store and leave by way
of the door which is now the en-trance
to the secretary's office.
According to R. Ross, financial
secretary, the job will be completed
in time to accommodate students
registering for summer school.
Modern Thoreau Is
One OF The Nations
Most ColorFul Poets
Badger Clark
South Dakota's poet laureate,
Badger Clark, will lecture and re-cite
from some of his favorite se-lections
for lovers of western liter-ature
in the auditorium tonight at
8:15.
This modern Thoreau, who lives
next to nature in a cabin outside
of Custer in the Black Hills, is
recognized as one of the most
colorful poets in the nation.
Students will be admitted on
their activity ticket, admission
price for outsiders is twenty-five
cents.

Dixon With 99 Plus
Bests One Hundred
Science Students
In the results of a standardized
examination in physics given to
one hundred college students, Ned
Dixon of Northern ranked first
with a percentile rating of 99 plus.
Forty-seven per cent of this
group were in the upper quartile,
seventy-three per cent were above
the median, and only twenty-seven
per cent were below the median.
This gives an idea of Ned's compe-tition.
In a similar test taken this year
Mr. Dixon also ranked highest.
