Beat Soo Falls The Exponent Beat Soo Falls Northern Normal and Industrial School Vol. XXI ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, OCTOBER 21, 1922 NO. 5 GYPSY DAY MEANS: CLOSER FRIENDSHIP AND A BETTER SCHOOL SPIRIT FOUR MODERN PLAYS SCHEDULED BY NORMAL INTRODUCING MISS ENGLUND Best Array of Talent and Plays Booked in Aberdeen Next week a festival of modern plays will be given by noted actres- se sand actors in the Normal Audi- torium. The series of plays will be opened on Mondaly evening by a. curtain raiser, "Pater Noster," by Francois Coppe, followed by "The Climax" by Edward Locke. "The Marriage of Kitty" by Cosmo Gor- den Lennox will be given Tuesday afternoon and "Ghosts" by Hedrick Ibsen, Tuesday evening. (Famous players who will appear in these dramas are Hilda Englund, Mercedes Desmore, Alma Bunzell, Albert Lowy, Robert Donaldson, Franklin Ramsay, and Maurice Drew. Hilda Englund began her brilli- ant stage career at the Royal Thea- tre of Stockholm, Sweden. When only nineteen years old she was chosen by Hedrick Ibsen to create the role of Mother Ase in "Peer Gynt." Her success was over- whelming, and she became known by critics nearly the world over be- cause of the tribute paid her talent by the famous Danish critic, Georg Brandes. Later she was chosen by Ibsen for the role of Regina in "Ghosts" and of Gerd in "Brand." She played opposite August Lind- berg, Sweden's greatest actor, in all these plays, playing with him for five years. A little later she came to Ameri- ca and appeared in "Peer Gynt" and "Pater Noster." She next went to London fog• a time, but returned to America and was engaged by Laurance Clarke and Theodore Ross for her present tour. Miss Englund has described Ib- sen as "a little man with a quiet SOME SMILE manner, a low unobtrusive voice, a grim face fringed with a Norwegi- an beard, in short, what James Hu- neker called 'the man with the mid- night whiskers.' " Miss Englund's most vivid memory of Ibsen was when she appeared before him to be tried out for a part in "Brand." She was to appear high on the stage, and Ibsen had her mount a table for her trial. This was an ordeal for the young actress, for not only Ibsen was present, but 'Bjorn- son, Ibsen's rival dramatist, 'and Georg Brandes, the great Danish critic. Mercedes Desmore is a young English actress of charm and beau- ty. She has played with such stars as Sir Beerbohm Tree, Ellen Terry, and Mrs. Lew Waller in England. She came to America about eight years ago. Here she played with Margaret Illington, Lou Tellegen. John and Lionel Barrymore. Robert Donaldson is one of the younger American actors of high ability and thorough technique. He has played with Mrs, Patrick Camp- bell, Walter Hamden, Otis Skinner, James K. Hackett, Arnold Daly, and in five productions of the Thea- tre Guild of New York. He will play the leading roles opposite Miss Englund and Miss Desmore during their present American tour. Franklin Ramsay is fresh from the New York cast of "Duley". He has to his credit the creation of the leading role in the road pro- duction of "Brewster's Millions." He has played with Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew and other stars. Maurice Drew has played with al- most every star of importance in this country. His most recent suc- cess was in the title role of "Cappy Ricks," with the road company. He will play the part of Engstrand in "Ghosts," of Luigi Colfante in "The Climax," and the curate in "Pater Noster." Alma Bunzell has had eight years of training and has played al- most every conceivable kind of role. She plays Zelie in "Pater Noster." Albert Lowy is the youngest ac- tor in the company. He is only twenty years old, and is said to be very handsome. He has played in three ar four successful musical (Continued on page 3) WELCOME ALUMNI To all graduates and stu- dents of former days who have come into our midst to participate our festivities and to renew old acquaintan- ces, we extend our heartiest greetings and sincerest wel- come. That your presence here today may afford you as much pleasure as it, does us is the greatest joy we can wish you. ALL-SCHOOL PARTY Students and Faculty Enjoy Party In E-2 and Dance in Gym The first all-school party of the year was held in E-2, Saturday ev- ening. Wesley Smart was chair- man of the committee in charge of this party and Miss Florer was fac- ulty assistant. They, with the oth- er members of the committee, ar- ranged and carried out plans which made this party a great success. Miss Florer, who took charge of the games and folk dances, in which every one participated, had something doing every minute. Then, as usual, there were "eats" during the course of the evening which consisted of ice-cream, cook- ies and coffee. Judging by this first one, we ex- pect the parties will be a very im- portant part of the social activities of this year. As usual the dance in the gymna- sium was greatly enjoyed by all those who attended. Conrad Coop- er, in charge of the music for the evening, obtained a very good or- chestra which was composed of three high school students and one Normal student. Refreshments, consisting of waf- ers and punch, were served through- out the evening. Marie Williams was in charge of this part of the evening's entertainment. During other years these dances which are given every two weeks have been greatly enjoyed by all those who care to dance and this first one proves that this year will be no exception. BEGINNERS' RECITAL Pupils of Maurene Carpenter Per- form Before Large Audience A group of pupils from the piano class of Miss Maurene Carpenter ap-peared in a recital Thursday even-ing in the auditorium. These re-citals will be of frequent occurance throughout the year. Students taking part in Thursday night's re-cital were: Lucile Zeidler, Shirley Machov, Selma Benson, Pearl Hed-blom, Eleanor Conry, Dena Sudow, Maurice Dobbins, Edith Claypoole, Blanche Williams, Marian William-son, Marjory Anderson Ione Thom-as, Virginia Easton, Georgia Lilli-an Kemper, Lauretta Mains, Ethel Wray, Caroline Voids, Gertrude Sau-er, Marian Nelson, Beatrice Lind-berg, Marjory Brearton, Inga Ger-up, Susan 'Fossuna, Edith Chamber-lain, Helen Smith, Helen Dobbins, Ellen Svarstard, Lois McKiver, Al-ice Cook, May Ryman and Averil Streeter. Beat Soo Falls STATE HISTORIAN SPEAKS A meeting of special interest was held Monday afternoon in the sun parlor of Lincoln Hall, when Pres. Foght introduced Doane Rob-inson, state historican, who gave a very interesting lecture on "South Dakota's Historic Spots and Trails" to an audience of more than one-hundred. In connection with the lecture, Miss Ruby Grimes, accom-panied by Miss Dorothy Hooper, sang most beautifully "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice," by Saint Saens, which added a pleasing touch to the program. At the close of the program an informal reception for the speaker was held by the club women of the city. Dainty refreshments were served. The entire program was in charge of the D. A. R. THE PEP MEETING The first real, live "pep meeting" of the year was held Friday even-ing of last week, about eight-thirty on Johnson field. A splendid big campfire was the center of attrac-tion. Altho it was a cool evening, everyone on Johnson field was very warm. The crowd was unusually enthusiastic in learning new yells under the leadership of Oscar Hea-ther and Jack Bailey. Small indi-vidual groups displayed their talent in many new and clever yells. These yells should be given to the Yell Leader so that the crowd may be-come familiar with them. Another big feature of the evening was the antique Indian war dances. The boy's dance was led by Art Cooper with hatchet in hand. The girls' dance was led by Vera Bailey. Let's plan more of these evening "pep meetings." They are heaps of fun. MISS DOROTHY HAGER, GYPSY QUEEN Hail to the Queen, this Gypsy Day! The wandering tribes from far away Have followed the trails from east and west, And now in their gaudy colors dressed, Today they meet as in days of old, This carefree clan of gypsies bold; Midst the tinkling music of the tamborine Comes their cry, "Hail, hail to the Gypsy Queen! GYPSIES GATHER ON CAMPUS FOR SIXTH ANNUAL FESTIVE GATHERING ENTIRE SCHOOL STOPS TO CELEBRATE Football Squad Will Meet Sioux Falls College in Second Conference Game--Day Closes With Plays and General Party and Dance Gypsy Day for 1922 promises to be the very best ever. The various committees and faculty advisors have been hard at work for several weeks to get all of the many de-tails worked out satisfactorily; the sewing machines at Lincoln and Graham Halls have been hard pressed with work as costumes of vivid hues have been fashioned by students anxious to win the attrac-tive prizes offered by down-town business houses; clubs have elected float committees who have labored faithfully with the same aim in view; and Mr. Gerber and his help-ers have generously lettered and painted signs and posters galore. The general Gypsy Day Committee, composed of Marguerite Evans, Ca-rol Howard, Margaret Seymour and Philip Noble and Ben Suejtz, have performed their. duties in an effi-cient manner, and our capable Mar-shal, Oscar Heather, has more than done his share in the nature of pep meetings and plans for an ex-cellent parade. Our queen, Miss Dorothy Hager, has chosen the following attend-ants: Ladies—Elaine Mossman, Ro-mona Stevens, Josephine Paulson, and Florence Johnson; Gentlemen —Allen Sperry, Charles Dokken, Cyril Colahan, and Billy Collins. The order of the clay, line of march, and order of the parade is announced as follows: Order of the Day Coronation of Queen ....9:00 A.M Parade 10.00 A.M. Dinner 12.00 M.

PROFESSOR, THOMAS HONORED Original Story Printed in the Boston Journal of Education The State Teachers' College can be justly proud to have upon its roll of instructors, men and women who have written books and articles Upon live school topics of the day, and which have been widely read and accepted. In the Journal of Education for September 21, 1922, the paper edi-ted by Dr. A. E. Winship, Boston, there appeared a fine narrative story written by Professor J. W. Thomas. T'ne article is a true story of ser-vice and achievement entitled, "How Margaret Redeemed Grant Commu-nity". The whole article is fraught with good, live, inspirational and helpful ideas and it is told in such an intensely interesting fashion that one must stay right with Mar-garet to see how she comes out in her undertaking. The story opens with a little in-sight into the kind of community into which Margaret is to go. It is much like many another community where small jealousies and misun-derstandings have made the dis-trict school their innocent victim. "Teacher after teacher had tried to stern the tide and bring order out of chaos but to no avail." Margar- et was duly hired and taken to her boarding place which fortunately was a home in which there were no children of school age. Sunday she went to her schoolhouse and finding it in a terrible condition she decided to clean it up before the children should come Monday morn- ing. After two hours of work that evening and the next morning, she had the school presentable. Mon- day she began her work with a brave heart and a will to be of ser- vice to this community. She soon discovered her various problems and proceeded to solve them. At Thanksgiving time an opportunity was given her to invite the patrons of the school. From this time on she was able to suggest a commu- nity organization which culminated in the Grant Community Improve- ment Club. This club was respon- sible for the complete remodeling of the school-house. Peace comes to the community when, at a meet- ing after Christmas, the president of the club unburdens his mind in a neat speech in which he thanked the school board for the changed appearance of the building. When the president sat down the chair- man of the board arose and thanked the members of the club for their part in "fixing up the schoolhouse". He also stated that by-gones would be by-gones and that the club would redeem the good name of Grant Community. Thus Margaret's tri- umph was complete and that night when she was at last alone she in- dulged herself in a "weep of joy". It will be of general local inter- est to know that Mr. Winship is going to have the article printed in pamphlet form and distributed far and wide. Beat Soo Falls STILL GROWING For the first time in the history of the school, it became necessary to seat students in the gallery dur- ing convocation period. Even the very front row in the Auditorium in. which many of our faculty mem- bers used to sit so frequently in now entirely occupied by Senior Normal students—providing none of them skip. Mr. Crawford makes public the following figures which tell bet- ter than words the decided growth of our school: resident students, 721; extension students, 57; mak- ing a grand total of 778 registered students. The short-course young men and women will be here ready for work the latter part of this month which will undoubtedly swell the number materially. THOSE TICKETS Just a word about your Gypsy Day tickets, if you haven't pur- chased them do so at once. Mr. Sueltz, Mr. Ross or Allen Sperry have tickets for sale. By a careful estimation we find that we can sell the tickets for 60 cents. This tick- et entitles you to admission to the coronation, the football game, the dinner, at 6:45, and the plays in the evening. Not a large price for a whole day's fun, is it? The plays alone are worth that. SPEELMAN'S SQUAD WINS BY PERFECT DROP KICK TEAM WORK IMPROVED Boys Getting into Shape for Today's Game with Baptists A drop kick seems to decide Nor- thern Normal's football games, but in Saturday's game it was on Nor- mal's side, Brown kicking the win- ning goal in the third period. Ab- erdeen played much better ball than they did against Spearfish but Valley City was stronger than early reports reputed them to be. How- ever, the visitors were never dan- gerous and could not gain consist- ently at any time. Aberdeen's of- fense was also ragged but showed improvement over Monday's play. The Gypsy Day Game ought to see the offense fully organized, and the team working more as a unit. Brown kicked the winning goal shortly after the second half be- gan, after Matthews had intercept- ed a Valley City pass which he car- ried to the 15 yard line. This was the only score of the game. Aberdeen lost the toss and C. Cooper kicked off to Valley City's 25 yard line. They smashed the line for first down in four tries but were then held and punted to Brown who returned to 35 yard line. Aberdeen then made two first downs in two tries but was then held and Brown attempted a drop kick which failed. The ball was given to Valley City on the 20 yard line, Valley City made first down on an end run but was forced to punt. Aberdeen tried a line buck and two passes which failed and they punted to Johnson of Val-ley City who was downed on the 46 yard line. McCormick then tried an end run on which he lost 10 yards and the quarter ended. The second quarter started off with Aberdeen blocking Johnson's SOME HAT punt but Valley City recovered on their 37 yard line. After fruitless attempts at bucking the line they punted again. After two incom- pleted passes and a short gain through the line Aberdeen received first down on Valley City's penalty. Aberdeen was then penalized for off side but Fisher more than made, up the penalty by an off tackle smash. Then another Valley City penalty gave Aberdeen another first down. Two Line bucks by A. Cooper and Fisher resulted in gains of 5 and 7 yards respectively and it was first down on the 20 yard line. On four tries Aberdeen gain- ed but 9 yards and the ball went to Valley City who punted on first clown, Ernst returning 20 yards to the 30 yard line. C. Cooper then tried to drop kick which was block- ed and Valley City recovered the ball. The half ended with the vis- itors hitting the line for no gains, neither team having yet scored. The second half started off with C. Cooper again kicking off to Val- ley City. After a series of line bucks and end runs which netted a 3 yard loss they punted to the 20 yard line. Aberdeen then tried a pass which was completed but fum- bled, Valley City recovering. They were again unable to gain and punted. A pass, Fisher to Swell- son, and an end run by Ernst re- sulted in 20 yards and first down. Line plays and passes failed to gain and Valley City got the ball on downs. Johnson punted but got off a poor one, the ball only going 8 yards. Ernst made 16 yards on an off tackle play and Matthews grabbed a pass which had struck the Valley City man who had tried to intercept it. He ran to the 15 yard line and after another gain of 4 yards by Eberle and two incom- pleted passes Brown kicked the winning goal. C. Cooper again kicked off and Valley City was forc- ed to punt. Wolter grabbed a pass for a 7 yard gain and Ernst went thru for first down. Valley City got the ball on an intercepted pass but fumbled on the next play, Aberdeen falling on the ball. The quarter ended with the score 3 to 0 for Aberdeen. Palmer hit the line for 5 yards (Continued On page 3) TEAM! TEAM! TEAM! WE WANT SIOUX FALLS' SCALP

The plays alone are worth that. SPEELMAN'S SQUAD WINS BY PERFECT DROP KICK TEAM WORK IMPROVED Boys Getting into Shape for Today's Game with Baptists A drop kick seems to decide Nor- thern Normal's football games, but in Saturday's game it was on Nor- mal's side, Brown kicking the win- ning goal in the third period. Ab- erdeen played much better ball than they did against Spearfish but Valley City was stronger than early reports reputed them to be. How- ever, the visitors were never dan- gerous and could not gain consist- ently at any time. Aberdeen's of- fense was also ragged but showed improvement over Monday's play. The Gypsy Day Game ought to see the offense fully organized, and the team working more as a unit. Brown kicked the winning goal shortly after the second half be- gan, after Matthews had intercept- ed a Valley City pass which he car- ried to the 15 yard line. This was the only score of the game. Aberdeen lost the toss and C. Cooper kicked off to Valley City's 25 yard line. They smashed the line for first down in four tries but were then held and punted to Brown who returned to 35 yard line. Aberdeen then made two first downs in two tries but was then held and Brown attempted a drop kick which failed. The ball was given to Valley City on the 20 yard line, Valley City made first down on an end run but was forced to punt. Aberdeen tried a line buck and two passes which failed and they punted to Johnson of Val-ley City who was downed on the 46 yard line. McCormick then tried an end run on which he lost 10 yards and the quarter ended. The second quarter started off with Aberdeen blocking Johnson's SOME HAT punt but Valley City recovered on their 37 yard line. After fruitless attempts at bucking the line they punted again. After two incom- pleted passes and a short gain through the line Aberdeen received first down on Valley City's penalty. Aberdeen was then penalized for off side but Fisher more than made, up the penalty by an off tackle smash. Then another Valley City penalty gave Aberdeen another first down. Two Line bucks by A. Cooper and Fisher resulted in gains of 5 and 7 yards respectively and it was first down on the 20 yard line. On four tries Aberdeen gain- ed but 9 yards and the ball went to Valley City who punted on first clown, Ernst returning 20 yards to the 30 yard line. C. Cooper then tried to drop kick which was block- ed and Valley City recovered the ball. The half ended with the vis- itors hitting the line for no gains, neither team having yet scored. The second half started off with C. Cooper again kicking off to Val- ley City. After a series of line bucks and end runs which netted a 3 yard loss they punted to the 20 yard line. Aberdeen then tried a pass which was completed but fum- bled, Valley City recovering. They were again unable to gain and punted. A pass, Fisher to Swell- son, and an end run by Ernst re- sulted in 20 yards and first down. Line plays and passes failed to gain and Valley City got the ball on downs. Johnson punted but got off a poor one, the ball only going 8 yards. Ernst made 16 yards on an off tackle play and Matthews grabbed a pass which had struck the Valley City man who had tried to intercept it. He ran to the 15 yard line and after another gain of 4 yards by Eberle and two incom- pleted passes Brown kicked the winning goal. C. Cooper again kicked off and Valley City was forc- ed to punt. Wolter grabbed a pass for a 7 yard gain and Ernst went thru for first down. Valley City got the ball on an intercepted pass but fumbled on the next play, Aberdeen falling on the ball. The quarter ended with the score 3 to 0 for Aberdeen. Palmer hit the line for 5 yards (Continued On page 3) TEAM! TEAM! TEAM! WE WANT SIOUX FALLS' SCALP |
