Enjoy gy/21y r ay
Again it is my pleasure as President
of Northern State Teachers College
to extend for myself and for the fac-ulty,
a hearty welcome to all mem-bers
of the Gypsy Clan who will be
returning for the annual festival Oc-tober
18.
Gypsy Day stands out among
homecoming celebrations as unique,
colorful, and enjoyable. It is the
spirit of the Gypsies with their color-ful
costumes, their gay manner, their
cordial friendliness, and their high
taste in fun and sportsmanship that
makes each Gypsy Day an occasion
to be remembered.
Events got started a little earlier
this year to take care of the increas-ing
number who want to take part.
Beginning with the "Waldo Presents"
show on Thursday evening, October
16, things happen in rapid succession
through Friday and Saturday until the
hour of midnight rings down the cur-tain
on another Gypsy Day which was
"Great in '58."

Northern State Teachers College, Aberdeen, South Dakota October 17, 1958 GYPS' ES 11 E TUB NT. Kay and Frank Chosen
To Reign Over NSTC
Seniors Kay Frey and Frank Bohall reign over the Gypsy Clan in 1958.
Queen Kay and Marshal Frank were selected in an all-college election
on Wednesday from a royal party of six men and six women.
The royal party had been chosen in a preliminary election after having
been nominated by campus organizations.
Frey and Bohall will be officially invested at the coronation ceremonies
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock in the Civic Theatre. At that time the 1957
Queen and Marshal, Maureen Smith and Gene Holsing, relinquish control of
the Gypsies.
Kay, a brown-haired, blue-eyed coed, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John Frey of Claremont. Majoring in later childhood education, her club affili-ations
include WAA, ACE, and Westminster Fellowship. She is also student
president of Graham Hall.
Kay graduated from Amherst High School before coming to Northern in
1954. After two years of college, she taught in the Watertown public sohools
for two years, attended summer school three times and is now working for her
B. S. degree.
Miss Frey was sponsored by Lincoln Hall and the Association of Child-hood
Education. Upon receiving the news, Kay commented, "I am very happy
and surprised."
Frank, sponsored by the sophomore and senior classes, is one of the col-lege's
outstanding athletes. Placing sixth in the NAIA track meet's 880 yard
run last June, he was the first Northernite to score in the national contest.
This year he will participate in basketball and track. Last year he lettered in
the three major sports.
Frank is vice-president of the Student Council and a prominent member
of the "N" club.
A physical education major, he comes from Wessington Springs.
In commenting on his election, the new Marshal said, "I'm very happy
that I won, and I consider it a great honor."
The Queen's court is comprised of the other members of the Royal Party.
The maids of honor are Cele Prunty of Andover, a member of Northern's
cheerleading squad, secretary of the student council, a member of Howling
Echo and a member of WAA; Sonia Knudson, Aberdeen, well-known for her
work as editor of the 1958 Pasque and as the president of Sigma Tau Delta;
Donna Gerdes, also of Aberdeen, whose mellow singing voice and laugh-pro-voking
humor in numerous plays and musical events have won her wide ac-claim;
Janeen Trisler, another Aberdonian and an accomplished musician, an
organist and accompanist; and Janet Lewis, Rapid City, a cheerleader and a
member of Howling Echo and WAA.
Attendants of the Marshal include Dennis Bertsch of Ashley, N. D., a
track man and an aggressive lineman for the Wolves' football team; Chuck
Kretchman, Faulkton, another football star, vice-president of the senior class
and the president of the "N" Club; Terry Osborne of Cresbard, last year's
Collegiate Choir president and the president of the Music Education Club;
Aubrey Fisher, current Student Union Board president, 1957 Student Council
prexy and one of Nothern's more accomplished debaters; and Mary Rasmussen,
star basketball player from Claremont.
