COME ON! LET'S GO BEAT SPEARFISH-MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1922 BEAT VALLEY CITY-SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1922 COME ON! LET'S GO BEAT SPEARFSISH The Exponent BEAT SPEARFISH Northern Normal and Industrial School Vol. XXI ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, OCTOBER 7, 1922 No. 3 EVERYBODY OUT TO HELP BEAT SPEARFISH SPEELMAN'S NORMAL SQUAD TO MEET SPEARFISH BUNCH MONDAY DAILY PRACTICE BRINGS RESULTS Old-line Men In Good Shape--New Men Are Scrambling Hard For First-Team Berth Northern Normal's first football game will be played Monday, October 9, with Spearfish Normal on John- son Field. The offer of a game with Spearfish came rather unexpectedly but Coach Speelman was quick in accepting and as a result the season opens nearly a week earlier than was at first planned. Spearfish is reputed to have an excellent team and is look- ed upon by all as being the most formidable "dark horse" in the con- ference. Our local team is, however, fast rounding into shape and will be ready for the invaders when they ar- rive. HOLMES SAYS: I find that the great thing in the world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. LYMAN ABBOTT SAYS: Perhaps the germ of great achievement slumbers on fur your heart, because you are— contented! Eberle On Job Eberle is the only letter man back who plays in the backfield. Pete has a wonderful physique and weighs much more than his size would in- dicate. He is fast on his feet and can hit a line low and hard. Fisher, full back, was a stellar North Dakota high school star. He is fast and heavy and there is no doubt that he will prove extremely valuable to the team. Brown, quarter, also comes from St. Cloud. He is experienced and shif- ty and will give a good account of himself. Dokken is another member of last year's seconds and with the ex- perience gained is going to fight hard for a place on the varsity. He plays at either tackle or guard. A. Cooper, quarter, is another man from last year's scrubs and is working hard this year for a first team position. He is a fast worker and with a little more experience will prove a valuable player. Ernst played last year with Col- umbus College. Although small, he more than makes up in speed and dodging ability what he lacks in weight. Heather, center, is the biggest man out. Although new at the game, he knows how to use his weight to good advantage. Sanders, center and guard, is an- other heavy weight. Although at a glance he does not appear in that class, the scales spin when he steps on. He is going to show some old players a fight for position. Remde, end or guard from last year's squad, is back again and shows that he learned a lot on the scrubs. He is sure to be a contender for the varsity this season. Frislie, half, has not had a great deal of experience but has weight and speed and takes readily to the game and his position. La Bounty plays at either half or end. He works hard and is a fast player. This is O'Neil's first year out but he is showing that he is learning. Time is sure to develop him. Stiles, is a big guard from Sum- mit. He easily shows that what the coaches tell him he absorbs. Hatz is being run at both quarter and half. Although not as experienc- ed as many of the others, he is work- ing hard for a position. Real Work Begun A stiff scrimmage of a half_hour or more is a part of the daily schedule and competition for positions is so keen that Speelman is having a hard time picking a team. Each and every man is giving his best and the pros- pects are bright for a winning squad. Many of the thirty-odd men who re- port daily have had college experience and the rest, except in a few cases, have played on high school teams. The team will average around 160 pounds in weight, and those who have watched it work are confident it will be a credit to Northern Normal. GRANGER CUP RACE To Be Run on Gypsy Day-En_ terance Open to Normal Boys It has been the custom of the school to have various athletic con_ tests and races as well as a football game on Gypsy Day. Among the most interesting contests which have been participated in the last several years, and which will be re_ peated this Gypsy Day, is the Gran_ ger Cup Race. To go back into ancient history a little will explain the origin of the Cup Race and what goes with it. In 1912 Mr. John Granger, who s now living at 514 Cedar Lake Road, Minneapolis, originated the idea. He is president of the Health Au_ dit Company, 416 Essex Building, Minneapolis. He graduated from the Aberdeen High School and also the Northern Normal and took his special training in the Battle Creek Sanitarium, Battle Creek, Michigan. He maintaintd a sanitarium, here in Aberdeen for five years before go_ ing to Minneapolis. His hobby is health and he has won many lion_ ors along this line, one of them be_ ing winning the world's record for deep knee bending. In 1912 he offered a cup as a prize to the young man who could win in a three to five mile sprint over country roads or across fields. There are certain rules which must be observed in this race. First, there will be no prizes of intrinsic value to be offered; second, the cup is first prize, and the only prize, unless others care to put up med_ als, ribbons, etc., third, the winner is to have possession of the cup un_ til the following September and to have his name suitably engraved on the cup at his own expense; fourth, the cup is to be returned to the Normal by the winner at his ex_ pense; fifth, the race should be partly over country roads or across fields and from three to five miles in length; sixth, runners are to be divided into two classes: the high school class being made up of reg_ (Continued on Page 4) Bud Wolter Captain The team is fortunate this year to have as its leader a man like Cap- ain "Bud" Wolter. He is a true ath- lete and knows the game of football thoroughly and works tirelessly and unselfishly for the betterment of his team. He has played tackle for the past three years and has been placed on various all-state and all-conference teams during this time. He is one of the mainstays of the line and few plays succeed over "Bud". Cooper and Stinson Strong Cooper is another big lineman who has already won an "N". He plays the center position and his passes back are always snappy and accurate. His strong point, however, is on the defense where his playing is far a- bove the average and this season pro- mises to be better even than former years. Stinson, guard, has also a letter to his credit. He is big and fast and uses his head to good advantage in a game. He is the kind that can be depended upon to do his full share at all times and not give up when things seem to be going wrong. He will have to be reckoned with when the all-conference team's are picked at the end of the season. Ed Matthews Back Again Matthews is with us again after a year's absence. He played end on the team of two years ago and al- though he made a name for himself then, he appears to be going even better this year. He is a hard tackler and a consistent player at all times and a valuable asset to the team. "Ted" Wolter has also earned the privilege to wear the coveted "N" He plays an end position and al- though much lighter than the aver_ age he makes up in nerve and speed what he lacks in weight. "Ted" has proven that it isn't always "beef" that makes a football player. New Men Swenson, end, formerly played at St. Cloud, Minnesota. He knows his position and can always be depended upon. McHugh was a member of last year's Columbus College squad and is showing up fine in practice. He plays tackle and there is every indi- cation that he will be a stellar player before the close of the season. Bill Collins was on the second squad last year and this year is go- ing to speak strong for a place at guard. "Bill" is no novice at the game and can open holes in a line and smear his opponents like a veter_ an. The followers of the team are looking for him to show a high grade of football the coming season. (Continued on Page 4) HIKERS CLUB First, Trip to Wylie Park—Big Plans Outlined for Year Members of the Hikers' Club have scheduled the first hike of the school year for next Monday after- noon, October 9. The Hikers will meet at Lincoln Hall steps at 5 P. M. and proceed to Wylie Park where a wiener and marshmallow roast will be held. After supper, officers will be elected for the fall quarter and the organization of the club will be perfected. All girls who enjoy hiking and out door life are invited to come out for the first hike, in order that they may become acquainted with the plan and purpose of the club. Last year this club proved to be one of the most popular organizations in school, and an interesting program is planned for this year also. A few of the hikes which will probably be taken during the year, are trips to Nahon, Warn- er, and Bath. Later in the year, longer hikes and week-end parties may be planned if they seem leas- able. Last year the Hikers won a very attractive N. N. I. S. emblem after completing the required sixty-nine miles. The question of what the club members will work for this year, will be decided at an early date. Pins, emblems, and numerals have all been Suggested. If you have other sug- gestions, bring them to the first bus- ness meeting. MODERN LANGUAGE CLUB The preliminaries for the organ_ ization of a club of modern lang_ uages consisting of wrench and Span_ ish division, are well under way. The clubs will meet separately once a week in the Dutch Coffee Shop, where a weekly lunch is to be served. The meeting will be of a private charac_ ter, only members belonging to one of the divisions being admitted. The conversation will be in French or Spanish, repectively. Recitations, story_telling and games will serve to make the events both useful and pleasant. FIRST ALL-SCHOOL MIXER OVERTAXES GYMNASIUM FINE PROGRAM AND SOCIAL Students and Faculty Unite in First Get-together of the Year The first social event of the year was held in the gymnasium last Sat_ urday evening. Everyone was out ready to enter into the spirit of the affair which proved to be a real mix- er party. The first of the evening was de_ voted to an informal and very inter- esting program. While the guests assembled, the school band, under the direction of Professor Goodsell, played several selections. The first number on the program was a duet by Messrs. Brown and Swenson which greatly pleased the audience. We were next entertained with a read_ ing by Mr. Brings entitled "The Path on The Sea". He was accom- panied on the piano by Dorothy Hooper. For an encore, Mr. Brings gave the "Jewish Wedding" which had been previously requested. The old Jew and his proverbial hold on his purse strings were much enjoyed. The Premier Quartette, composed of Messrs. Heather, Orton, Smart and Calahan next favored us with "Aunt Jemima's Jubilee". This number was so well received that they came back with "Sweet Kentucky Babe". Again they had to return and gave us "Swanee River Moon". We are justly proud of this new quartette and hope to hear them again soon. Pro_ fessor Matson next favored us with ''Ma Lindy Lou", a negro serenade. We always are delighted with Pro- fessor Matson's singing. Following an enthusiastic encore he sang "A Little Rock". He was accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Walsworth. The pro_ gram came to a fitting close with a charming solo, given by Mrs. Wals- worth, entitled "Love's a Merchant" by Carew. For an encore she sang a humorous number "Is You" by Car_ rie Jacobs Bond. Miss Dorothy Hoop- er was the accompanist. The crowd was then invited down to the main floor of the gym to par_ ticipate in various games. The grand march, headed by Doctor and Mrs. Foght, was the next in order. This was followed by a game called "Con- fussion". Later there was a paper relay race which provoked much merriment. The gym, as in former occasions was much to small to accomodate the crowd. Punch and wafers were served by Miss Smith, assisted by the Miss_ es. Wise, Burk, Barcley, Hies, Carl- son, Roda, Ochsner, Johnson, Knott, Taylor, Scarborough, and Knight. Much credit is due Professor A. N. Wray, chairman of the social com_ mittee, and his assistants Ethelyn Bailey, Charles' Howard and Mar- velyn Heinzen, for the success of the entertainment. IVAN SMITH AT WAKPALA Five of Seven Teachers at Wakpala are N. N. I. S. Students Inclosed please find my check for one dollar for which please send the Exponent for the coming year. I note the enlargement. Congratula- tions. I have noticed in the Aberdeen pa- pers that the Pasques are being sent out to the various high schools. Five of the seven teachers here are old Normal students; we have a fine school here as you will all hear when we dedicate the new building; therefore, I hope you will place us on your mailing lists if you still have some copies for distribution. AMONG AMERICA'S BEST Member of Metropolitan and Cent-ury Opera Companies—Sings in Large Repertoire The musical career of Thomas Chalmers, Baritone of the Metropol - itan Opera Company, began in New York churches and phonograph lab-oratories, while he was still engaged in the real estate business. Of old Colonial, Scotch and Dutch ancestry, Mr. Chalmers entered the real estate business shortly after his father's death and by chance had an oppor-tunity to take some singing lessons. His exceptional voice was immediately recognized. Church, concert and pho-nograph engagements followed and shortly he found singing was more profitable, as well as more to his liking, than a business life. In 1909, on the advice of several prominent operatic artists, he went to Italy to study with Maestro Vincenzo Lombardi, the most famous singing master of his time. At the end of two years' of study, he made his de-but as "Marcello" in "Boheme" in a small provincial theatre. Col. Sav-age who was in (Italy looking for singers immediately engaged him for his American tour of the new Puccini Opera, "The Girl of the Golden West," in which opera as "Jack Nance," the role made famous in the Belasco play by Mr. Frank Kee-nan. Mr. Chalmers made his first Amer-ican tour singing in all the principal cities of the United States. His next engagement was as principal bari-tone of the Century Opera Company in New York and Chicago. During the two seasons with that company he sang in 23 operas, making New York debut in "Aida." Then followed a two year contract with the Bos-ton Opera Company which again took him to the Pacific Coast on two tours. The vast experience and large repertoire he acquired during these engagements, as well as the favorable reputation he had gained, made his Metropolitan Opera Company con-tract the natural result. His debut with that famous organization was as "Valentine" in "Faust" and his success was such that in the five years he has been a member of that company, he has sung the leading baritone roles in nearly all the Ita-lian and French operas in the re-pertoire. GOLD AND GREEN First Number of Student Paper at Frankfort Appears The first number of the "Gold and Green", published by the stu-dents of the high school at Frankfort, S.D. has just appeared at the Pub-lication's office. We are glad to wel- come this new exchange. 0. E. Ron-fling is superintendent of the school, who last summer was a student at N. N. I. S. and incidentally a member of the class in Journalism. This is the first paper to appear this fall of several that were planned by the class in Journalism last summer. We expect to report several others later. "Gold and Green" is a clean look-ing paper of four pages of three col-umns each. It is a worthy represen-tative of one of our smaller high schools. It is full of school news and also carries a nice line of local ad-vertisements. We congratulate the editorial staff on this, their first number, and we hope to get a copy every month. BEAT SPEARFISH Could Do More, Says Dean Pryor, If Teachers Would Report When Placed Last but not least is the bunch from Aberdeen High School. They are, Lazvosky, end; Palmer, half; Werth, center; Calahan, guard; and Buttz, guard. They are all good men and appear to be some of the most likely candidates. They know foot-ball and seem to take naturally to the game. Much is looked for from them. These are not all the men trying out but they are all the reporter was able to get a line on. Others are working equally hard and they, too, will probably be heard from later on. This gives the supporters of the team some inside knowledge of the bunch that will represent the Normal on Monday at three o'clock when the boys line up for the first time. They will show the class of football that N. N. I. S. will put on this year. BEAT SPEARFISH DR. FOGHT ON TOUR Wednesday evening, Dr. Foght left for Mankato, Minnesota, where he will lecture at the Southwest Minnesota State Teacher's Assia- tion. He was scheduled for three talks on Friday. From Mankato, Dr. Foght will leave for Cheyenne, Wyoming, where he is engaged to speak at the State Teacher's Asso- ciation in a four day session. He expects to return Saturday, October 14. SPENDS DAY AT N. N. I. S. GIVES THREE LECTURES Address on Poetry and Education Strong Plea, For Genuine Work in Literature The Northern Normal had as her guest, John G. Neihardt, Poet Laur-eate of Nebraska, on. Tuesday, Octo-ber 3. Mr. Neihardt has won distinc-tion in other countries as well as in the United States by the appeal of his verse. His first appearance was at convo-cation, when the subject of his lec-ture was "Poetry and Its Relation to Education." Without any doubt this will rank among the most scholarly addresses ever delivered in the audi-torium. The lecture is referred to elsewhere in this number. As a guest of the Lion's club, Mr. Neihardt read several of his briefer lyric poems. Appearing again in the afternoon before Mr. Lindberg's Sem-inar in English class, he spoke to an interested group of students and teachers. This period was given over to questions and answers in which Mr. Nethardt gave his opinions on many prdblems in current literature. In the evening, Mr. Neihardt gave the story of "The Three Friends," one part of the five which will make up the great American Epic on which he is working. The audience was not overly large, but it was apprecia-tive and felt well repaid for the hour and a half spent there. Mr. Neihardt has a most pleasing voice which car-ries well. We shall be glad to have him return at some future time. The Teacher Placement Commit-tee is closing another year's work. Calls keep coming for teachers but few of them can be filled owing to the difficulty of finding unplaced teachers who can qualify. The following report will give some idea of what the office has done. It is unfortunate that more definite information cannot be given but this is impossible owing to the tendency of people to neglect report-ing. The office could do much more effective work if registrants would notify the secretary when placed and if school officers would report, promptly, when they employ teach-ers. We are glad to report that sal-aries for holders of State Certifi-cates, or higher, are keeping up. Salaries for lower certificates are de-creasing. Teachers will help themsel- ves by qualifying for better certifi-cates. Again, the office extends its ser-vices and begs the co-operation of all who need assistance in making next year the best one in the hist-ory of the placement work. Summary for 1921:22 Total Registered 299 Total Vacancies Reported 309 MASTER KEMPTHORNE. On Thursday morning at convoca-tion, Master Kempthorne favored us with a violin solo. He is a little fel-low only six years old, and has a spe-cial, small-sized violin suitable for his size. He appeared entirely at ease before his audience, as though he has been accustomed to playing in pub-lic for years. His solo was appre-ciated by all who heard him, and he graciously responded to the hearty applause with an encore. It is unusual to find a child so young who can play so well, and we predict that Master Kempthorne will b e heard from more and more in the years to come. PERAl/TA TO WYOMING Since the close of the summer school, Mr. Terencio Peralta has been spending some weeks in Min- nesota working with a book supply company. Last week he made the Northern 'Normal a brief visit while on his way to Lusk, Wyoming, where he has been engaged for the coming year to teach. 'Spanish and French. Mr. Peralta expects to be back for the summer session next summer when he will complete his work for his diploma. 'Meanwhile, we wish him all the success in the new posi- tion. (Continued on page 3)

The Hikers will meet at Lincoln Hall steps at 5 P. M. and proceed to Wylie Park where a wiener and marshmallow roast will be held.

The question of what the club members will work for this year, will be decided at an early date. Pins, emblems, and numerals have all been Suggested. If you have other sug- gestions, bring them to the first bus- ness meeting. MODERN LANGUAGE CLUB The preliminaries for the organ_ ization of a club of modern lang_ uages consisting of wrench and Span_ ish division, are well under way. The clubs will meet separately once a week in the Dutch Coffee Shop, where a weekly lunch is to be served. The meeting will be of a private charac_ ter, only members belonging to one of the divisions being admitted. The conversation will be in French or Spanish, repectively. Recitations, story_telling and games will serve to make the events both useful and pleasant. FIRST ALL-SCHOOL MIXER OVERTAXES GYMNASIUM FINE PROGRAM AND SOCIAL Students and Faculty Unite in First Get-together of the Year The first social event of the year was held in the gymnasium last Sat_ urday evening. Everyone was out ready to enter into the spirit of the affair which proved to be a real mix- er party. The first of the evening was de_ voted to an informal and very inter- esting program.

This was followed by a game called "Con- fussion". Later there was a paper relay race which provoked much merriment. The gym, as in former occasions was much to small to accomodate the crowd. Punch and wafers were served by Miss Smith, assisted by the Miss_ es. Wise, Burk, Barcley, Hies, Carl- son, Roda, Ochsner, Johnson, Knott, Taylor, Scarborough, and Knight. Much credit is due Professor A. N. Wray, chairman of the social com_ mittee, and his assistants Ethelyn Bailey, Charles' Howard and Mar- velyn Heinzen, for the success of the entertainment. IVAN SMITH AT WAKPALA Five of Seven Teachers at Wakpala are N. N. I. S. Students Inclosed please find my check for one dollar for which please send the Exponent for the coming year. I note the enlargement. Congratula- tions. I have noticed in the Aberdeen pa- pers that the Pasques are being sent out to the various high schools. Five of the seven teachers here are old Normal students; we have a fine school here as you will all hear when we dedicate the new building; therefore, I hope you will place us on your mailing lists if you still have some copies for distribution. AMONG AMERICA'S BEST Member of Metropolitan and Cent-ury Opera Companies—Sings in Large Repertoire The musical career of Thomas Chalmers, Baritone of the Metropol - itan Opera Company, began in New York churches and phonograph lab-oratories, while he was still engaged in the real estate business. Of old Colonial, Scotch and Dutch ancestry, Mr. Chalmers entered the real estate business shortly after his father's death and by chance had an oppor-tunity to take some singing lessons. His exceptional voice was immediately recognized. Church, concert and pho-nograph engagements followed and shortly he found singing was more profitable, as well as more to his liking, than a business life. In 1909, on the advice of several prominent operatic artists, he went to Italy to study with Maestro Vincenzo Lombardi, the most famous singing master of his time. At the end of two years' of study, he made his de-but as "Marcello" in "Boheme" in a small provincial theatre. Col. Sav-age who was in (Italy looking for singers immediately engaged him for his American tour of the new Puccini Opera, "The Girl of the Golden West," in which opera as "Jack Nance," the role made famous in the Belasco play by Mr. Frank Kee-nan. Mr. Chalmers made his first Amer-ican tour singing in all the principal cities of the United States. His next engagement was as principal bari-tone of the Century Opera Company in New York and Chicago. During the two seasons with that company he sang in 23 operas, making New York debut in "Aida." Then followed a two year contract with the Bos-ton Opera Company which again took him to the Pacific Coast on two tours. The vast experience and large repertoire he acquired during these engagements, as well as the favorable reputation he had gained, made his Metropolitan Opera Company con-tract the natural result. His debut with that famous organization was as "Valentine" in "Faust" and his success was such that in the five years he has been a member of that company, he has sung the leading baritone roles in nearly all the Ita-lian and French operas in the re-pertoire. GOLD AND GREEN First Number of Student Paper at Frankfort Appears The first number of the "Gold and Green", published by the stu-dents of the high school at Frankfort, S.D. has just appeared at the Pub-lication's office. We are glad to wel- come this new exchange. 0. E. Ron-fling is superintendent of the school, who last summer was a student at N. N. I. S. and incidentally a member of the class in Journalism. This is the first paper to appear this fall of several that were planned by the class in Journalism last summer. We expect to report several others later. "Gold and Green" is a clean look-ing paper of four pages of three col-umns each. It is a worthy represen-tative of one of our smaller high schools. It is full of school news and also carries a nice line of local ad-vertisements. We congratulate the editorial staff on this, their first number, and we hope to get a copy every month. BEAT SPEARFISH Could Do More, Says Dean Pryor, If Teachers Would Report When Placed Last but not least is the bunch from Aberdeen High School. They are, Lazvosky, end; Palmer, half; Werth, center; Calahan, guard; and Buttz, guard. They are all good men and appear to be some of the most likely candidates. They know foot-ball and seem to take naturally to the game. Much is looked for from them. These are not all the men trying out but they are all the reporter was able to get a line on. Others are working equally hard and they, too, will probably be heard from later on. This gives the supporters of the team some inside knowledge of the bunch that will represent the Normal on Monday at three o'clock when the boys line up for the first time. They will show the class of football that N. N. I. S. will put on this year. BEAT SPEARFISH DR. FOGHT ON TOUR Wednesday evening, Dr. Foght left for Mankato, Minnesota, where he will lecture at the Southwest Minnesota State Teacher's Assia- tion. He was scheduled for three talks on Friday. From Mankato, Dr. Foght will leave for Cheyenne, Wyoming, where he is engaged to speak at the State Teacher's Asso- ciation in a four day session. He expects to return Saturday, October 14. SPENDS DAY AT N. N. I. S. GIVES THREE LECTURES Address on Poetry and Education Strong Plea, For Genuine Work in Literature The Northern Normal had as her guest, John G. Neihardt, Poet Laur-eate of Nebraska, on. Tuesday, Octo-ber 3. Mr. Neihardt has won distinc-tion in other countries as well as in the United States by the appeal of his verse. His first appearance was at convo-cation, when the subject of his lec-ture was "Poetry and Its Relation to Education." Without any doubt this will rank among the most scholarly addresses ever delivered in the audi-torium. The lecture is referred to elsewhere in this number. As a guest of the Lion's club, Mr. Neihardt read several of his briefer lyric poems. Appearing again in the afternoon before Mr. Lindberg's Sem-inar in English class, he spoke to an interested group of students and teachers. This period was given over to questions and answers in which Mr. Nethardt gave his opinions on many prdblems in current literature. In the evening, Mr. Neihardt gave the story of "The Three Friends," one part of the five which will make up the great American Epic on which he is working. The audience was not overly large, but it was apprecia-tive and felt well repaid for the hour and a half spent there. Mr. Neihardt has a most pleasing voice which car-ries well. We shall be glad to have him return at some future time. The Teacher Placement Commit-tee is closing another year's work. Calls keep coming for teachers but few of them can be filled owing to the difficulty of finding unplaced teachers who can qualify. The following report will give some idea of what the office has done. It is unfortunate that more definite information cannot be given but this is impossible owing to the tendency of people to neglect report-ing. The office could do much more effective work if registrants would notify the secretary when placed and if school officers would report, promptly, when they employ teach-ers. We are glad to report that sal-aries for holders of State Certifi-cates, or higher, are keeping up. Salaries for lower certificates are de-creasing. Teachers will help themsel- ves by qualifying for better certifi-cates. Again, the office extends its ser-vices and begs the co-operation of all who need assistance in making next year the best one in the hist-ory of the placement work. Summary for 1921:22 Total Registered 299 Total Vacancies Reported 309 MASTER KEMPTHORNE. On Thursday morning at convoca-tion, Master Kempthorne favored us with a violin solo. He is a little fel-low only six years old, and has a spe-cial, small-sized violin suitable for his size. He appeared entirely at ease before his audience, as though he has been accustomed to playing in pub-lic for years. His solo was appre-ciated by all who heard him, and he graciously responded to the hearty applause with an encore. It is unusual to find a child so young who can play so well, and we predict that Master Kempthorne will b e heard from more and more in the years to come. PERAl/TA TO WYOMING Since the close of the summer school, Mr. Terencio Peralta has been spending some weeks in Min- nesota working with a book supply company. Last week he made the Northern 'Normal a brief visit while on his way to Lusk, Wyoming, where he has been engaged for the coming year to teach. 'Spanish and French. Mr. Peralta expects to be back for the summer session next summer when he will complete his work for his diploma. 'Meanwhile, we wish him all the success in the new posi- tion.
