TALENT SHOW REVIEW
by June Oleson
"Talent, talent, anyone with
talent sign right here." This,
among other Gypsy Day cries, has
been ringing throughout Northern's
campus for the past week. Barbara
Mathers and Dr. Nieswender put
all the necessary details in order
for the big evening, Friday, Octo-ber
7. Starting off with a big
bang was Chris Hauge and his
"Acme Ajaxers." Kenny Clapsad-dl,
e Mel Schalt, Mary Hovland,
Teasie Beshara, Joyce Vance, Car-ma
Schwartz and Sheila Paetznick
comprise Chris' happy little group
of entertainers.
Then coming back down to earth,
we heard Barbara Wiley sing,
"Lover Come Back to Me" and
"Can't Help Loving that Man!"
Along this same thought as North-ern's
best was Margaret Gelling
giving out with "Heart and Soul."
Leaving this singing for awhile,
we come to our friend and come-dian,
Jimmie Jo Gillespie, followed
by the faculty jug band (which
had to be good). After we had
been thoroughly shaken by the
faculty, Floyd Westerman, and
Daryl Briscoe entertained us with
voice solo each. Next on our pro-gram
was Jenine Trisler playing a
few selections on the organ. And,
closing the show, Beverly Smith
sang a solo.
CHEERLEADERS CHOSEN
At an assembly held Friday,
September 23, Peggy Cope, Janet
Lewis, Barbara Eustice, Pat Enger,
Leon Smith, and Chris Hauge
were chosen as members of the
pep squad. In this group, Peggy
Cope is the only cheerleader return-ing
from last year's squad; Chris
Hauge is a senior; and the other
four are freshman.
The list of the other students
who tried out includes: Sue Hen-kins,
Jo Ann Moneyhau, Linda
Dewhurist, Donna Gerdes, Mary
Ann MacDonald, Evonne L u x ,
Dean Graham, and Don Knispel.
These eight students will remain
in practice in case there is a need
for substitution or replacement.
Replacements will be made if a
member, or members, of the squad
do not meet the prescribed require-ments.
A 11 prospective cheerleaders
gave one cheer before the entire
assembly. The student body then
voted, by secret ballot, for four
of the ten girls and two of the
four boys.
The world famous orchestra of
Wayne King will play for the
Gypsy Day dance at 9:30 tonight.
The "Waltz King" will feature
Jim Hays, vocalist.
Thirty-Five Bands
Approximately thirty-five bands
will participate in the Gypsy Day
parade and in maneuvers at Sim-mons
Field before the football
game. During half-time these
groups will join the NSTC band in
the feature maneuver.

Drum and Bugle Corps, the

DISPLAY DEPICTS
TEXTURE AND PATTERN
On display in the art depart-ment
are numerous 11 by 14 inch
photographs depicting "Texture
and Pattern in Everyday Life."
The photographs are all in black
and white. They were obtained
from the Museum of Modern Art
in New York.
Depicting pattern, that which
appeals to the eye, are photographs
such as an aerial view of farm land.
Texture, appealing to the sense of
touch is typified by such pictures
as those of a sun flower seed.
Dr. Pizzat says, to appreciate
the display you must come and see
it.

Pres. Lovinger
One of the high-lights of our
College year is Gypsy Day. We
are fortunate to have such a color-ful
theme. I know of no other col-lege
homecoming with a theme
which is so symbolic of gaiety and
merriment.
The excellent relationship be-tween
Northern and the city of
Aberdeen is a most important fac-tor
in the success of Gypsy Day.
Another equally important factor
is the excellent student and faculty
cooperation which we always have
and which has become traditional.
Let's plan to make Gypsy Day
1955 our Biggest and Best Home-coming
in every way.
Warren C. Lovinger
President
