              STUDENTS ENJOY FACILITIES OF NEW ICE SKATING RINK
Some Northern students are shown above enjoying the ice skating
rink located on the tennis courts which is now ready for use. The rink
has been re-flooded and the ice is reported in tip-top condition. Benches
are being installed for the benefit of those people who would find it
more desirable to sit on wood for a change. Flood lights are to be in-stalled
if enough of the kids will get out and work off some of their
excess energy. Now check this for a real bargain—it's all free. So
why not go skating ? Sponsor a skating party some night and really
"live it up."

Debate Squad
Prepares For
Speech Meets
According to word received from
Northern's forensic squad, they are
now preparing for a full season of
debate work.
Plans are now being made to at-tend
the Red River Valley Speech
Tournament on February 6 and 7
at Moorhead, Minnesota, where
each team will participate in four
rounds of debate on this year's
topic: "Resolved: That the Con-gress
of the United States should
Enact a Compulsory Fair Employ-ment
Practices Law."
Other tournament invitations be-ing
considered at this time include
the Upper Mid-West Forensic
Tournament on the University of
Minnesota campus April 17 and 18
and the National Speech Tourna-ment
at Kalamazoo, Michigan, in
mid-March.
Professor Seymour, who is in
charge of the speech activities, an-nounces
that there is still a need
for more people in forensics with
special emphasis on the vacancy on
the women's debate team. Anyone
interested in this work should re-port
to him immediately.
Those taking part in debate thus
far include Darleen Huber, Chris
Hague, Charles Peterson, and Fred
Swanson.
Cast Selected
For Shaw Play
From the Masquers' dramatic
fraternity comes word of the pro-duction
of the play, Arms and the
Man by George Bernard Shaw un-der
the direction of Professor E. T.
Gibson scheduled for February 23
and 24.
The interaction of five young
people provides the love element in
Shaw's delightful comedy. The
complicated plot tells the story of
a professional soldier, Bluntschli
portrayed by Merlin Fisher from
Woonsocket, who breaks into an
enemy household while fleeing
from the Bulgarian army. The
home is that of a Bulgarian offi-cer,
Major Petkoff played by Alex
Hilsendeger, Aberdeen. Florence
Meidinger, Eureka, in the role of
Raina, the daughter of Major Pet-koff,
shelter Bluntchli while her
mother, Audrey Simer, Aberdeen,
is confronted with a choice of her
integrity or his personal safety.
When the danger is past Bluntschli
leaves. With the armistice signed
Major Petkoff and Serquis, por-trayed
by Wayne Schlepp from Mo-bridge
who is the hero of the battle
and Raina's fiance, return.
Bluntschli once again appears on
the Petkoff threshold to return a
borrowed coat. During this time,
he becomes friends wtih the Major
and Serquis. Complications arise
with Raina and her mother being
afraid that their quartering of
Bluntschli will be suspected and
Serquis seeking the attention of
Lucka, Sondra Paetznick, Groton,
a coquettish maid who is suppos-edly
betrothed to Nickola, a man-servant
played by Bud Saltee of
Aberdeen.
Sets for the Arms and the Man
are being designed by Mr. Huck
of the art department and Gene
Orr. They are following an im-pressionistic
style. The set will be
built under the supervision of Bob
Orr.
Various committees comprised of
members of the Masquers frater-nity
have been appointed and are
now busy working on the details
of the play.
A study has revealed that there
have been many students on the
campus who have become engaged
or married recently. At this time
it's a pleasure to announce their
names, their chosen mates, and
some of their plans.
Sylvia Boscher is engaged to
Fred Rivinis from Mobridge. They
plan a fall wedding. ' Audrey Olson
and James L. DeVries are planning
on being married within the next
year. Corinne Rusch and Joe Bo-war,
Faulkton, have not made any
definite plans yet.
Ruby Akers has a diamond from
Ed Richter, who has recently gra-duated
from the State College, and
they are planning a spring wed-ding.
Bev LeBrie is engaged to
LeRoy Troske, formally of Nor-thern.
They have indefinite plans.
Also having indefinite plans are
JoAnn Larson and Kenneth Larson
and Joan Barnum and Duane Doll.
George Puder is engaged to Alma
Hagen of Redfield. One of the most
recent engagements is that of Mar-ilyn

They were married in the
bride's home. They are now re-siding
in Bradley where the groom
is employed.

vows at the Bethlehem Lutheran
Church in Aberdeen on December
28. Reverend Thompson is teach-ing
in Eureka, and Mary Lou is
still attending school. There fu-ture

said "It was a lot of fun and good
experience."

too, and enjoyed the trip.

by Dr. and Mrs. Lovin-ger
who attended the days events.
Dr. Lovinger was also on business
for the college.
