The Exponent Northern Normal and Industrial School Vol. XVIII ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, MARCH 13, 1920 No. 21 GIFFORD PINCHOT ADDRESSES STUDENT BODY OF NORTHERN NORMAL Addresses student Body at Special Convocation Wednesday, March 3 At a special convocation Wednesday afternoon, March 3, the student body was given the opportunity of listening to the Gifford Pinchot, who is traveling about South Dakota in the interests of General Wood. Mr. Pinchot made a splendid address to the students in which he spoke of ex-president Roosevelt, who was a very close friend of his, as defining the requisites of a great man as, not so much brilliance, but dogged perseverance. He spoke of how Roosevelt had predicted the trouble with Japan and with Mexico, and even the World War trouble. Mr. Pinchot said that the claim of United States to world supremacy would be contested in the next few years The United States was not in the World War long enough to feel the burden of it as it was experienced by other nations. He said the period of reconstruction will be a period that has never before been equalled in the commercial world. Unless this nation is careful, in the next few years it will lose its leadership, according to Pinchot, for it is going to be an economic struggle that will call for exceedingly careful treatment. HURON HIGH TAKES DISTRICT BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT One of the fastest and best tournaments ever held on the Normal floor was completed last Friday night when, in the final game the Huron high school defeated the Red-field high school by a score of 25-24, thereby winning the district championship and the right to represent this district at the state tournament held at Huron, March 18 and 19. The game was one of the fastest and classiest exhibitions of basketball seen in Aberdeen for many a moon. Both teams were made up of seasoned men and each had a point-getting machine which ran in perfect order throughout the game. The score seesawed back and forth all through the game and it was only in the last minute of play that the Huron team looped in a long shot, winning the game. The opening day of the tournament saw the three favorites, Aberdeen, Redfield and Huron in action. Although all these teams were given a hard scrap it was never in doubt as to who would win each of the three games. In the afternoon Redfield took the long end of a 39-11 score against Webster. In the first game in the evening the Huron quint nicely trimmed McLaughlin by a 42-11 score, and in the second game of the evening the Aberdeen team walloped Sisseton by a 38-9 score. The semi-finals, held Friday afternoon; were superb exhibitions of basketball. In the first game Redfield came, saw and conquered Waubay by a score of 39-6. The second game of the semi-finals saw the Aberdeen hopes of a district championship fade into a rosy dream when the Central High boys were defeated by Huron by a 31-1' score. The Aberdeen team did not furnish the class of basketball expected of them but were nevertheless outclassed by the fast Huron quint. It now remained for the Huron and Redfield teams to fight it out for the championship and this game was looked forward to by everyone who enjoys a good clean, fast game. The largest crowd ever in attendance at a Normal basketball game saw the Redfield five go down to defeat in the last game. After the final gun of the tournament the fine cup given by the Normal was presented to the Huron captain by Vice President Fred W. Smith while the official ball of the tournament was given to the captain of the Redfield team. BASEBALL NEWS The White Sox, Go-Getters, Boston Bloomers and the Northern Nine baseball teams report for practice at 4 every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday afternoons. The tournament games will be played shortly after the beginning of the next quarter. Competition is very keen as each team has an equal chance to become the champions.

LIFE WORK CONFERETCE At the Methodist church Thursday night, March 4, there was organized a general committee of twenty-four people, from the high school, normal school, business college, and from town business houses, for the purpose of advertising the life work conference which Dr. Stanell of the M.

The numbers have been large and the services rendered are appreciated. With the coming of spring the meals served will be changed to suit the season; salads and sandwiches will be on the menu list. All effort is being made to give you the RIGHT kind of food at reasonable prices. Do you like afternoon lunches? How about the sale of sandwiches on the campus? There have been a number of cafeteria helpers who have been ill recently. Hazel Poole, Anna Mikkleson, Marion Payne and Catherin Forbragd were each absent a number of days. Hattie Hanson is back at school and the whole force is at work again. PROMINENT FACULTY MEMBER LEAVES FOR STATE COLLEGE It is with regret that the Exponent announces the vacancy in the Exponent room, caused by the departure of Paul W. Kieser, who leaves Monday for Brookings where he will succeed George A. Starring at the College, who has resigned. PAUL W. KIESER Mr. Kieser has been connected with the Normal school about five years, during which time he has made a name for himself. When he first conic to the Normal school, the Exponent was a monthly publication. During his first year he introduced a semi-monthly paper and the next year a weekly school newspaper, which has been developed so successfully as to be recognized as being one of the leading school papers of the northwest. While with the school Mr. Kieser has worked out a course in Journalism and a course known as "Rural Press and Teacher," developed by himself; both of which have attracted attention. Before Mr. Kieser came to the Normal School he was doing successful work on Omaha papers, was city editor of the Aberdeen News and capital man of the Bismarck Tribune. Besides serving six months in the army, he served as director of public information for C. N. Herreid, federal food administrator for South Dakota, during the war. The Exponent Staff, as well as hosts of friends. wish him good luck in his new undertaking and are positive that he will make good in his new position. NORTHERN NORMAL HAS LARGE ENROLLMENT The surprising thing about the returns of the questionnaire sent out by this school, to every normal school in the country was, of the sixty schools that answered, only four ranked higher, in the number of students enrolled than the Northern Normal. The schools that ranked higher than the Northern Normal were all schools offering four years of college work, generally known as teachers colleges. The enrollment of this school is a trifle more than eight hundred and fifty. SOUTH DAKOTA LEADERSHIP SOCIETY’ The South Dakota Literary Society met last Monday evening and held their regular weekly program, which was well attended and well presented as follows : Piano Solo, Ruth Showers; Lady Astor Sketch, Arlene Weidman and Rose, Roberts; Talk, "The Coming Contest," Mr. Sipple; A Current Event Paper, Cecelia Monroe; Community Sing by the Society. After the program a short business meeting was held and a committee was appointed for the nomination of the officers for the next quarter. Next a series of games were enjoyed by all the members which were led by Miss McDougal. ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANT SPEAKS AT THE NORMAL SCHOOL A special convocation was called on Friday last, which was addressed by James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany. He told of his experiences in Germany in a way that was very interesting to his audience. The description of the life of the German who entered the army was very clear and especially the way in which the aristocrats kept to themselves the control of the commissions and offices. He gave an account of a court ball which was very amusing, as such things are only read of books in this country and it seemed so absurd that such an affair could have existed in the immediate past. He told of an incident that happened during the reception that proved that the kaiser still retained a sense of humor even though it is thought by some that such a thing was impossible. During his speech he asked if anyone would like to ask him any questions. The result was that he was asked to tell of his experiences when the diplomatic relations were broken off and how he got out of the country. The account that followed was deeply interesting, especially with regard to the manner his treatment by the militarists. He compared his leave taking to that of other ministers and it was very noticeable that the Germans still had some respect for Uncle Sam. It was purely a game of bluff all the way through and it proved that the Germans did not excel in all the ways they thought they did. This speech was by far the most appreciated of any yet delivered by the noted visitors who have lately appeared at the school. McMASTER ADDRESSES STUDENT BODY Lieutenant Governor McMaster and State Senator Lincoln visited the school last Saturday, both addressing the students at chapel time. Senator Lincoln told of the great struggle that was necessary' to establish the school at Aberdeen. He also complimented the school upon its growth. After the short talk by Mr. Lincoln, Mr. McMaster was introduced. His remarks had an added interest because of the fact that he is now a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor. His talk was received with much applause by the students although it was not of a political nature. MISS SMITH ENTERTAINS Miss Eloise Smith entertained her U. B. sisters in her home in the Dorian Apartments Sunday evening. A delightful two course lap-luncheon was served at seven-thirty. Following this a splendid musical program, consisting of piano, vocal solos and Victrola music was rendered. Edith Coleman gave two clever readings. Every U. B. speaks of Miss Smith as a charming hostess and appreciates the splendid evening spent in her home. The following young ladies were present : Irene Unzelman, Edith Coleman, Lillian Sedam, Hope Foght, Thelma Foght, Alice Thompson, L. Edwina Jones, Ann McCann, Opal Kundert, Letitia Larsen, Minnie Bjorkman, Agnes Strand and Edna Lee. FOURTH YEAR PARTY Last Saturday evening the Fourth Year students held a hard times party in E-2, in order that they might become better acquainted and mingle together once more be-fore the end of the quarter which is so near at hand. The party was well attended and all were garbed in various costumes. The evening was spent in games and music, after which a prize was awarded to the young woman and young man having the most fitting outfits. Eugenia Consigny and Russel Dennis were the lucky members of the class and received the honors. Next in order was a delicious two-course lunch-eon which was served by Alice Thomas and Josephine Armstrong. The committee in charge of the entertainment was as follows: Amanda Clausen, Cecil Cooper, Ted Wolters and Leo Bachman. Ben Sueltz was seen entering Graham Hall last Sunday morning with a box of candy. Who was the lucky girl?
