WATCH US GROW The Exponent WATCH US GROW Northern Normal and Industrial School Vol. XXI ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, FEBRUARY 3, 1923 NO. 16 KEEP IT UP, BOYS, YOU'RE DOING FINE NORMAL QUINTS TAKE EASY DOUBLE HEADER WEBSTER AND AUGUSTANA FALL Home Team Plays Fast Game and Score at Will The normal first and second teams stepped out and took both games of a double header last Satur- day night. The second team in the preliminary game won from Web- ster by a score of 7 to 3. The big game of the evening between Augus- tana College and the varsity result- ed in a 49 to 15 count for the locals. Staging one of the fastest finishes ever seen in the city on a basketball court, the locals kept their record for conference standings perfect. The game started off with a rush, both teams displaying an excellent five-men defense. The locals miss- ed shot after shot during the open- ing stanza of the game, which was due to the new combination that played together for the first time Saturday night. Bud Wolter who was troubled with two sprained ank- les is back in the game again and held down a forward position. Evans was shifted back to guard. After about ten minutes of play the boys got to working together and made basket after basket. The first halt ended 18 to 9 in our favor. During the period between halves Coach Speelman must have told the boys a thing or two, anyway they came back with a bang during the second half and staged a beautiful finish. They passed the ball through the defense of the Augustana boys at will. The passing of the Normal- ites was the best of the season. The game was clean throughout and the good sportmanship of both teams won the respect of every fan present. The final score was 49 to 15. Heinzelman led the locals in scor- ing, making nine field goals and one out of three free throws. Bud Wol- ter was a close second with seven field goals and Swenson next with five. Evans also got three. Dokken Cooper, McHugh and Collins all played a fine defensive game. Haken stad, and Trystad and Erickson were the mainstays of the Vikings. Mr. Speelman states that the team is the best offensive team the school has ever had and that it will take a real team to no-se them out of the running for the conference champ- ionship.

LaBounty and Schwarz from a Webster standpoint, showed altogether too much ability in the entire game and make it im- posible for the Webster quint to score. R.

(SIGNED) COACH SPEELMAN The above is not new news today when the Exponent ap pears. Nevertheless, there was great applause when the news vvas announced at Convocation last Thursday. N. E. A.PLATFORM Continued and thorough in- vestigation of educational prob- lems as the basis for revised educational standards and meth- ods, to the end that the schools may attain greater efficiency and make the largest possible contribution to public welfare. SATURDAY CONVOCATION Vice-President, Smith Gives Most In- teresting Lecture on Badlands of South Dakota Dr. Foght gave the regular an- nouncements and also read a por- tion of a letter from the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Co., request- ing that students and faculty refrain from using the tracks as a thorough- fare because of the great danger in- volved. After the announcements, Vice- President F. W. Smith gave an il- lustrated lecture on our national parks. He mentioned the following parks briefly and showed views of each: Mt. Ranier, Sequoia, Yellow- stone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Crater Lake, Mesa Verda, Rocky Mountains and Glacier. He then told of the Badlands of South Dakota which is situated a few miles southeast of Rapid City. Senator Norbeck has introduced a bill into Congress which, if passed will make this region into a national park. The Badlands cover a terri- tory of about seven townships and as a national park would rank about third or fourth in size among these parks. The name, "Wonderlands of South Dakota" has been suggested. Mr. Smith described the wonderful colors and peculiar formulations which are caused by various kinds of clay and sand and which the water and wind have carved into many queer shapes. The lecture was made all the more interesting by colored slides. The Badlands are especially rich in fossil specimens and many ex- cellent geological specimens have been found there. Vice-president Smith has spent several summers in the Badlands and his personal know- ledge of this region made his talk all the more interesting. Every town and city in the state should hear this lecture. It would increase our pride and our patriotism for our native state. Very few . people know that the Badlands constitute one of the richest geologcial fields in the coun- try and further that many other states are carrying away many of these valuable specimens which should by right remain in our own state museums. The following summarizes much of the absorbingly interesting mat- ter Professor Smith deals with in this lecture. The Big Badlands Southeast of the Black Hills, ex- tending for over one hundred miles from east to west and over two hun- dred from north to south, lie the wonderful Tertiary deposits known as the Big Badlands. Deposited as wind blown masses, and as the great deltas of prehistoric rivers, sweeping eastward from the Rocky mountains they have been cut away by the wearing of the waters of the past ages into the great walls and canons crowned by pinnacles and towers; variegated in color through the reds, yellows, blues and purples, with such blending of tints as only an artist could reproduce; the eye of the beholder is bewildered; the ima- gination is stimulated to recognize familiar figures of animals, of birds of great castles with spires and min- arets, towering high in the air, or of great ruined cities extending as far as eye can reach, while the blended (Continued on page 2) MONOGRAM CLUB ORGANIZED Coach Jacob Speelman and Mrs. Speelman invited all "N" letter men of the school to their home at 1505 So. Grant Street, last Monday even- ing, January 29. The purpose of the gathering was to organize a mono- gram association which was named, Monogram Club of the Northern Nor- mal. Election of officers was held and the following officers were elected: President, Gordon Fisher; Vice- President, Mike Klose; Secretary- Treasurer, Carroll Stinson. The Football certificates were awarded the football letter men by Mr. Speelman and some of the men were called upon to give speeches. All current ,business that pertains to athletic questions was discussed at this meeting. The following are the men eligi- ble for membership to this club and were all present: Bud Wolter, Ted. Wolter. Dokken, Cooper, Swenson, Johnson, McHugh, Remde, Collins, Eberle, Palmer, Heinzelman, Matt- hews, Lazovsky, Fisher, Klose and Stinson. After the business was all settled, Dr. Foght and Mrs. Foght arrived to enjoy the program and a dainty lunch. The Club will take an active part in the activities of the school in the future. It is planned to have a Dutch feed at the next meeting which is ito be held at the Elks. and all the alumni men that have been awarded an "N" are requested to be present. LINCOLN ORATORICAL CONTEST C. HOWARD FIRST--MISS MARA SECOND Five Contestants Try For Lincoin Medals And Honor Of Representing N. N. I. S. at Rapid City A large audience gathered in the school auditorium Thursday evening to be present at the annual Lincoln Oratorical Contest. Mr. Stinson, chair man of the evening, in a few open- ing remarks gave the purposes of this annual contest, which are two- fold: first, the winner will repre-sent the N. N. I. S. at the State Ora- torical Contest at Rapid City, and second to stimulate interest in ora- tory. Miss Angela Sheelar opened the program by a very pleasing violin solo executed in her usual, artistic manner. Miss Sheeler was very ably accompanied by Miss Ramona Ste- vens. Mr. Stinson then introduced the first speaker of the evening, Miss Evelyn Mara, the subject of whose oration was "America for Ameri- cans." Miss Mara won her audiences attention by her effective delivery which showed careful training. She handled her subject in a very able manner stating among other things that the average American is not worthy of his title because he does not know his country. While it is impossible for everyone to travel it is possible for everyone to become better acquainted with America through education. Mr. Benjamin Simmons next de- livered his oration "The Bonds of Morality" Mr. Simmons showed how the Bonds of Morality are really our bonds of freedom although we often disregard them as unnecessary re- straints. "Holdfast America" The oration which won first was splendid both as to subject matter and delivery. In opening his ora- tion Charles Howard gave the defini- tion and purpose of law; it is the cry- stallized experience of men, the in- carnate wisdom of the angels with the purpose of safeguarding a nation and giving an equal chance to all. One of the laws which will keep on raising the standard of this nation to higher levels is the law of prohibi- tion. This law was passed during times of stress and had much to bat- tle as is shown from many different standpoints. The commercial stand- point which shows an increase of 33 1-3 % in savings account; the Public Health standpoint, for the death rate has decreased and hospit- als are established and kept up in place of saloons; the moral stand- point for our convicts number less since prohibition; and the greatest standpoint of all the poor man's family. Happiness, thrift, industry, honesty are a result of this great amendment. America as yet is unap- preciative and to overcome this dis- regard of the law which is one of its greatest assets we must either modify by allowing open saloons and sale of intoxicating liquor or we must have strict enforcement. The latter was shown clearly to be the only path to follow. Mr. Howard ended his oration by a touching and impressive plea from the children for their rights to a civilization freed from the horrible bonds of liquor. Miss Norma Erickson, with her oration on the "Crisis of the Ages" won third place. At present as Miss Erickson pointed out we are facing a crisis which threatens to overthrow the supremacy and solidarity of the whiite race. The destructive forces which are threatening us are disease and civil wars. While we are batt- ling among ourselves our more un- civilized neighbors are rising up to claim our present position in the world. The yellow nations must be combatted with. We must realize the importance of the crisis we are facing and keep unity in the white race. Civilized nations, which are necessarily the white nations, must retain their world supremacy. Civil ization is a beacon light to the uni- verse. Mr. James Alger gave the last ora- tion, his subject being "The Outcast Nation". Mr. Alger showed that Rus- sia, the outcast nation, is slowly but surely recovering herself. Out of the chaotic condition now existing she will emerge and take her position as one of the leading nations of the world. The reorganization of the government has been one of the means of salvation. The judges, Mr. St. Clair Smith Mr. Lindberg, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Wray and Mr. Malmberg then adjourned to make their decision. Mr. Root introduced a novel idea which proved very entertaining to the audience while the judges were making their decision. Three of the college classes put an. very clever stunts. Donald Klinger, represent- ing the fifth year class, gave a very entertaining chalk talk. The Sixth years then gave an amusing sketch of the Budget Board's report at the Legislature. They were followed by a record on the Crazyophone by the seventh years. This pictured Uncle Josh's visit to the N. N. I. S. NEXT YEAR'S LECTURE COURSE Five Strong Numbers Already Chosen —A Sixth To Be Added The lecture course committee, con- sisting of Mr. Oates, chairman, and Mrs. Collins, Miss Meek and Mr. Lindberg, were called together this week by the chairman to consider lecture course numbers for next year. The splendid display of talent was chosen from two separate companies, The Emerson Lyceum Bureau and The Redpath-Vawter Company. Out of these five numbers have already been selected. It is possible that one more number will be added to this list making six in all. The committee feels confident that no stronger group of entertainments has been of- fered the student body for many years. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman; recog- nized at the present time as among the half dozen strongest clergymen in the country, will probably open the course. To offset the Cappy Ricks players this year, the Vivian Players have been chosen. Something new in the way of music will be present- ed in the Vernon Quintet, a group of five players from the Cleveland Sym- phony Orchestra. Lew Sarett, who made such a favorable impression here a year ago, will be the second lecturer. Perhaps the strongest number on the entire course will he the Russian Cathedral Quartet, a group of singers from the world-re- nowned choir of the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. Russia. SENIOR PARTY The seniors had a very enjoyable sleigh ride in ye old fashioned style Thursday evening. The night was ideal for such sport and everyone had a merry time. Dean and Mrs. Pryor were guests of the evening. 'That the seniors forgot their dignity is obvious since Mr. Pryor suggest- ed that some of the girls could go into vaudeville instead of teaching After riding until nine o'clock, the party repaired to the New Home Lunch where a delicious lunch was served. Mr. Sanders presided as toastmaster and after giving a short, spicy talk, he called on Marguerite Evans for a reading. Miss Evans graciously responded with "Foolish Questions" in her usual happy man- ner. Ben Sueltz, Reverend Mr. Graeber and Dean Pryor were next called upon and gave toasts which were much appreciated. While the seniors are few in quantity, they cer- tainly aren't small in quality when it comes to having a good time, P1 KAPPA DELTA MEET Executive Committee Plans For In- ter-State Contest In Oratory Prof. L. M. Brings has just return- ed from a meeting of the executive committee of Pi Kappa Delta Pro- vince held at Mitchell. Mr. Brings is a member of the executive com- mittee and was called there to make tentative arrangements for the inter-state oratorical and debate meet which is to be held here in Aberdeen April 18, 19 and 20. The states which will participate are Iowa, Min- nesota, North and South Dakota. There will probably be a reception to all the delegates on the evening of April 18. The oratorical contest will be held on the evening of April 19, and the men's final debates on the evening of the 20th. The ex temporaneous speaking contest will be held at 1:30 on the 20th. All of these meetings will be open to the public. Undoubtedly this will be one of the biggest events of our Northern Normal activities for the present year. It is not often that meetings of inter-state magnitude come this way. Let us all work towards this convention and make it so interest- ing that all our visitors will give us a good name abroad and will want to come again. While at Mitchell, Prof. Brings acted as a judge in an inter-school debate between State College and Dakota Wesleyan. The question was the Towner-Stirling Bill. The decision of the judges was in favor of State College. TUESDAY CONVOCATION Dr. Foght was absent Tuesday morning and Vice-President Smith was in charge of the convocation. The usual announcements were made. Prof. A. H. Seymour gave a short account of his trip to Pierre. He said that the old timers are discouraged by the state affairs at Pierre. Criti- cism and even suspicion seem to have taken hold of everyone. Mr. Sey- mour suggested that there are many different opinions concerning the good or harm that the letter-writing campaign to the Legislature may be doing. A deoidedly reactionary spirit against appropriations, not only for the colleges and normals, but also for the common schools, seems to prevade the legislators at Pierre. At present it is very 'hard to see just how things will come out. N. E. A. PLATFORM Active assistance to state and local affiliated associations in securing needed legislation and in promoting the intestests of such associations and the welfare of their members in ac- cordance with the charter and by-laws of this association. THE MUSIC MASTER Kemp Gives Fine Interpretation of Famous Classic Everett Kemp presented the trage- dies of life, the stamina that bears long suffering, and the rewards of endurance for two hours when he read the "Music Master" in the Nor- mal Auditorium Monday night, Jan- uary 29. Mr. Kemp was introduced by Vice-President Fred W. Smith, and immediately launched into his heart-devouring story. The "Music Master" is in five acts Act one in in Leipsig, Germany. On the clay that the Music Master pre- sents his great Symphony to the roy- alty of the state, his wife deserts him and his three years old baby girl for another man . In the even- ing, while he is directing the Sym- phony, the child is stolen away by the another. After long search, the heart-broken man determines to go to America in the quest. We see him in the second act in a New York boarding house, sixteen years later. His search has been un- successful. Now he lives by playing the piano in a dime museum. His small fortune has been squandered in the search. In his lonesomeness he has built a few sincere friendships around him, and has taken an or- phan, Jenney, under his protection. In the succeeding act, through the tricks of fate, he finds his daughter in the house of her step-father. There he tutors her as a music mas- ter, and his thrilling interview with the man who wronged him conies as a great climax. But only at the subsequent wedding, and then half- unconsciously does he affirm his right by answering the question, "who gives away the bride?" with an emphatic "I do!" Under the spell of a great inter-preter, such as Mr. Kemp is, humor and pathos follow in such a quick succession and with such rapidity that the audience must needs laugh and weep together, and could scarce-ly know which was their true re-sponse. There were many high spots in both emotions throughout the story. "Ah, they have come to take away that box of discords, which sounds like a banjo and with no key on speaking tern with its neighbor!" explains the embarrass-ed old man. And again in another mood lie cries out, "Nature never makes a blunder; when she makes a scoundrel she means lit!" Aberdeen may well wish that Mr. Kemp may come again. NAME FOR OUR TEAM With the formation of an "N" Club the athletics of Northern Nor-mal are well organized and worked up but there is still one thing lack-ing---- a name for our teams. By this we mean an officially recognized name and one that whenever print-ed or spoken anywhere in the state will mean no one 'but the N. N. I. S. team. At the present time, only such names as the "Pedagogs" or the "Teachers" names given by the newspaper reporters are used and these will apply as well to one Nor-mal as to another. Is it not time that we find some name that desig-nates us and only us, something dis-tinctive within South Dakota? Every-one knows that all the teams from big schools have their distinctive-ness. There are but few who don't know 'who the "Bulldogs", the Tig-ers", the "Gophers' or the "Hawk-eyes" are. Then, within our own state we have the State College "Jackrabbits" 'the University "Coy-otes", the "Greyhounds" of Yank-ton, the "Scalpers" or Huron, as ex-amples. Should our teams 'be the only important teams to go name-less? Surely not. We are going to be second to no one in athletics, not even in a name. Let's have a few suggestions, students. Work your brain a little bit and with everyone contributing, a good name will sure-ly result. And don't forget that Dr. Foght has offered a one dallar prize to the person suggesting a name suitable for adoption. GOES TO WASHINGTON Miss Mildred Johnson of Lemmon, S. D., who has 'been a student at N. N. I. S.,' since September ,has ac-cepted a government position In Washington, D. C. During the war Miss Johnson held a position at Washington in the War Risk Insur-ance Department. She liked the work so well that she decided to re-enter government work. She will be located at a West Point Finishing School of Engineering. Her duties will cosist of clerical work. In the summer, Miss Johnson expects to devote her spare time to aviation and at the present time is negotiat-ing with different companies for the purchase of a plane. Miss John-son's many friends extend their best wishes for her success, WILLIS E. JOHNSON HAS RESIGNED PRESIDENCY FORMER N. N. I. S. HEAD Board of Regents Pass Complimen-tary Resolutions At a meeting of the board of re-gents of education last Wednesday night President Willis E. Johnson of State College presented his resigna-tion, to be effective July 1, 1923. In accepting Dr. Johnsons' resig-nation the regents expressed their high appreciation of his splendid services to South Dakota for many years and adopted the following re-solutions: "Whereas, Dr. Willis E. Johnson has voluntarily presented to this board his resignation as president of South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts to take effect July 1, 1923; and, "Whereas, President Johnson has served the state in a most notable and conspicuous way for over twen-ty years, first as instructor in the Northern Normal and industrial school from its beginning, later as its vice president and finally for five years as its president during which time the school doubled in size; and, "Whereas, President Johnson has served as president of State College the past four years during which time it has experienced a remark-able growth, particularly in the at-tendance in the college of agricul-ture and in the spirit and morale of the institution; and, "Whereas, he has proven himself through all these years to he a thor-ough scholar, a far seeing and cap-able executive and an inspiring lea-der possessing a fine Christian char-acter; "Now, therefore, be it resolved by the regents of education, in ac-cepting his resignation, that we con-gratulate him upon the outstanding service he has performed for South Dakota, and express our sincere re-gret at losing his splendid services and our good will and best wishes for his success in all future under-takings. Dr. Johnson was for many years connected with N. N. I. S. as instruc-tor, Vice-President and President. many friends will 'be sorry to learn that he is contemplating leaving the state of South Dakota when he has spent so many years in splendid ser-vice. Dr. Johnson has been a reader of the Exponent since its beginning. For this reason we shall follow his future career with interest, sorry that he is going but realizing that our loss will be other's gain. VALENTINE PARTY Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Sipple enter-tained about twenty-four faculty members at a Valentine party and dinner -last Tuesday at 6:30 P. M. The decorations were in red hearts and red carnations. Mary Sipple, dressed as a little Valentine, met the guests at the door. One at a time they were ushered into another room where Max Sipple stood guard over a jar of candy hearts. Each one was to guess how many hearts were in the jar. Two prizes were offered these being won by Mr. Armstrong and Mrs. Speelman. The hearts were used as after dinner mints and great fun resulted from reading the little love messages on' each heart. As entertainment, valentines were prepared with names of people of movies or fiction. There were two prizes offered for the best love mes-sage prepared by each couple, ac-cording to their names. Dr. Bunker and Mrs. F. W. Smith as John Alden and Priscilla won first prize. Mrs. MaLmberg and Mrs. Barnes as Kate and Petruchio, won second prize. The prizes were valentines. At the close of the evening, all joined in singing love songs and everyone left regretting that the time had passed so quickly and pronounc-ing Mr. and Mrs. Sipple as royal en-tertainers. MID-WEEK DANCE The mid-week nickle dance held Friday afternoon, from four to six o'clock was a - popular affair, as the sun-parlor was filled the whole time by the crowds in attendance. Every-one paid a nickle to enter, and the proceeds went to the school orchestra which played for the occasion. This dance was given Friday afternoon because there could be none Satur-day night on account of the 'basket-ball games. Since there was no party in E-2, the regular Social Hour fund could not be drawn upon, and hence the admission to cover the costs. Anyway the idea was very propitious and most enjoyable.

Deposited as wind blown masses, and as the great deltas of prehistoric rivers, sweeping eastward from the Rocky mountains they have been cut away by the wearing of the waters of the past ages into the great walls and canons crowned by pinnacles and towers; variegated in color through the reds, yellows, blues and purples, with such blending of tints as only an artist could reproduce; the eye of the beholder is bewildered; the ima- gination is stimulated to recognize familiar figures of animals, of birds of great castles with spires and min- arets, towering high in the air, or of great ruined cities extending as far as eye can reach, while the blended (Continued on page 2) MONOGRAM CLUB ORGANIZED Coach Jacob Speelman and Mrs. Speelman invited all "N" letter men of the school to their home at 1505 So. Grant Street, last Monday even- ing, January 29. The purpose of the gathering was to organize a mono- gram association which was named, Monogram Club of the Northern Nor- mal. Election of officers was held and the following officers were elected: President, Gordon Fisher; Vice- President, Mike Klose; Secretary- Treasurer, Carroll Stinson. The Football certificates were awarded the football letter men by Mr. Speelman and some of the men were called upon to give speeches.

It is planned to have a Dutch feed at the next meeting which is ito be held at the Elks. and all the alumni men that have been awarded an "N" are requested to be present. LINCOLN ORATORICAL CONTEST C. HOWARD FIRST--MISS MARA SECOND Five Contestants Try For Lincoin Medals And Honor Of Representing N. N. I. S. at Rapid City A large audience gathered in the school auditorium Thursday evening to be present at the annual Lincoln Oratorical Contest. Mr. Stinson, chair man of the evening, in a few open- ing remarks gave the purposes of this annual contest, which are two- fold: first, the winner will repre-sent the N. N. I. S. at the State Ora- torical Contest at Rapid City, and second to stimulate interest in ora- tory. Miss Angela Sheelar opened the program by a very pleasing violin solo executed in her usual, artistic manner. Miss Sheeler was very ably accompanied by Miss Ramona Ste- vens. Mr. Stinson then introduced the first speaker of the evening, Miss Evelyn Mara, the subject of whose oration was "America for Ameri- cans." Miss Mara won her audiences attention by her effective delivery which showed careful training. She handled her subject in a very able manner stating among other things that the average American is not worthy of his title because he does not know his country. While it is impossible for everyone to travel it is possible for everyone to become better acquainted with America through education. Mr. Benjamin Simmons next de- livered his oration "The Bonds of Morality" Mr. Simmons showed how the Bonds of Morality are really our bonds of freedom although we often disregard them as unnecessary re- straints. "Holdfast America" The oration which won first was splendid both as to subject matter and delivery. In opening his ora- tion Charles Howard gave the defini- tion and purpose of law; it is the cry- stallized experience of men, the in- carnate wisdom of the angels with the purpose of safeguarding a nation and giving an equal chance to all. One of the laws which will keep on raising the standard of this nation to higher levels is the law of prohibi- tion. This law was passed during times of stress and had much to bat- tle as is shown from many different standpoints. The commercial stand- point which shows an increase of 33 1-3 % in savings account; the Public Health standpoint, for the death rate has decreased and hospit- als are established and kept up in place of saloons; the moral stand- point for our convicts number less since prohibition; and the greatest standpoint of all the poor man's family. Happiness, thrift, industry, honesty are a result of this great amendment. America as yet is unap- preciative and to overcome this dis- regard of the law which is one of its greatest assets we must either modify by allowing open saloons and sale of intoxicating liquor or we must have strict enforcement. The latter was shown clearly to be the only path to follow. Mr. Howard ended his oration by a touching and impressive plea from the children for their rights to a civilization freed from the horrible bonds of liquor. Miss Norma Erickson, with her oration on the "Crisis of the Ages" won third place. At present as Miss Erickson pointed out we are facing a crisis which threatens to overthrow the supremacy and solidarity of the whiite race. The destructive forces which are threatening us are disease and civil wars. While we are batt- ling among ourselves our more un- civilized neighbors are rising up to claim our present position in the world. The yellow nations must be combatted with. We must realize the importance of the crisis we are facing and keep unity in the white race. Civilized nations, which are necessarily the white nations, must retain their world supremacy. Civil ization is a beacon light to the uni- verse. Mr. James Alger gave the last ora- tion, his subject being "The Outcast Nation". Mr. Alger showed that Rus- sia, the outcast nation, is slowly but surely recovering herself. Out of the chaotic condition now existing she will emerge and take her position as one of the leading nations of the world. The reorganization of the government has been one of the means of salvation. The judges, Mr. St. Clair Smith Mr. Lindberg, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Wray and Mr. Malmberg then adjourned to make their decision. Mr. Root introduced a novel idea which proved very entertaining to the audience while the judges were making their decision. Three of the college classes put an. very clever stunts. Donald Klinger, represent- ing the fifth year class, gave a very entertaining chalk talk. The Sixth years then gave an amusing sketch of the Budget Board's report at the Legislature. They were followed by a record on the Crazyophone by the seventh years. This pictured Uncle Josh's visit to the N. N. I. S. NEXT YEAR'S LECTURE COURSE Five Strong Numbers Already Chosen —A Sixth To Be Added The lecture course committee, con- sisting of Mr. Oates, chairman, and Mrs. Collins, Miss Meek and Mr. Lindberg, were called together this week by the chairman to consider lecture course numbers for next year. The splendid display of talent was chosen from two separate companies, The Emerson Lyceum Bureau and The Redpath-Vawter Company. Out of these five numbers have already been selected. It is possible that one more number will be added to this list making six in all. The committee feels confident that no stronger group of entertainments has been of- fered the student body for many years. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman; recog- nized at the present time as among the half dozen strongest clergymen in the country, will probably open the course. To offset the Cappy Ricks players this year, the Vivian Players have been chosen. Something new in the way of music will be present- ed in the Vernon Quintet, a group of five players from the Cleveland Sym- phony Orchestra. Lew Sarett, who made such a favorable impression here a year ago, will be the second lecturer. Perhaps the strongest number on the entire course will he the Russian Cathedral Quartet, a group of singers from the world-re- nowned choir of the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. Russia. SENIOR PARTY The seniors had a very enjoyable sleigh ride in ye old fashioned style Thursday evening. The night was ideal for such sport and everyone had a merry time. Dean and Mrs. Pryor were guests of the evening. 'That the seniors forgot their dignity is obvious since Mr. Pryor suggest- ed that some of the girls could go into vaudeville instead of teaching After riding until nine o'clock, the party repaired to the New Home Lunch where a delicious lunch was served. Mr. Sanders presided as toastmaster and after giving a short, spicy talk, he called on Marguerite Evans for a reading. Miss Evans graciously responded with "Foolish Questions" in her usual happy man- ner. Ben Sueltz, Reverend Mr. Graeber and Dean Pryor were next called upon and gave toasts which were much appreciated. While the seniors are few in quantity, they cer- tainly aren't small in quality when it comes to having a good time, P1 KAPPA DELTA MEET Executive Committee Plans For In- ter-State Contest In Oratory Prof. L. M. Brings has just return- ed from a meeting of the executive committee of Pi Kappa Delta Pro- vince held at Mitchell. Mr. Brings is a member of the executive com- mittee and was called there to make tentative arrangements for the inter-state oratorical and debate meet which is to be held here in Aberdeen April 18, 19 and 20. The states which will participate are Iowa, Min- nesota, North and South Dakota. There will probably be a reception to all the delegates on the evening of April 18. The oratorical contest will be held on the evening of April 19, and the men's final debates on the evening of the 20th. The ex temporaneous speaking contest will be held at 1:30 on the 20th. All of these meetings will be open to the public. Undoubtedly this will be one of the biggest events of our Northern Normal activities for the present year. It is not often that meetings of inter-state magnitude come this way. Let us all work towards this convention and make it so interest- ing that all our visitors will give us a good name abroad and will want to come again. While at Mitchell, Prof. Brings acted as a judge in an inter-school debate between State College and Dakota Wesleyan. The question was the Towner-Stirling Bill. The decision of the judges was in favor of State College. TUESDAY CONVOCATION Dr. Foght was absent Tuesday morning and Vice-President Smith was in charge of the convocation. The usual announcements were made. Prof. A. H. Seymour gave a short account of his trip to Pierre. He said that the old timers are discouraged by the state affairs at Pierre. Criti- cism and even suspicion seem to have taken hold of everyone. Mr. Sey- mour suggested that there are many different opinions concerning the good or harm that the letter-writing campaign to the Legislature may be doing. A deoidedly reactionary spirit against appropriations, not only for the colleges and normals, but also for the common schools, seems to prevade the legislators at Pierre. At present it is very 'hard to see just how things will come out. N. E. A. PLATFORM Active assistance to state and local affiliated associations in securing needed legislation and in promoting the intestests of such associations and the welfare of their members in ac- cordance with the charter and by-laws of this association. THE MUSIC MASTER Kemp Gives Fine Interpretation of Famous Classic Everett Kemp presented the trage- dies of life, the stamina that bears long suffering, and the rewards of endurance for two hours when he read the "Music Master" in the Nor- mal Auditorium Monday night, Jan- uary 29. Mr. Kemp was introduced by Vice-President Fred W. Smith, and immediately launched into his heart-devouring story. The "Music Master" is in five acts Act one in in Leipsig, Germany. On the clay that the Music Master pre- sents his great Symphony to the roy- alty of the state, his wife deserts him and his three years old baby girl for another man . In the even- ing, while he is directing the Sym- phony, the child is stolen away by the another. After long search, the heart-broken man determines to go to America in the quest. We see him in the second act in a New York boarding house, sixteen years later. His search has been un- successful. Now he lives by playing the piano in a dime museum. His small fortune has been squandered in the search. In his lonesomeness he has built a few sincere friendships around him, and has taken an or- phan, Jenney, under his protection. In the succeeding act, through the tricks of fate, he finds his daughter in the house of her step-father. There he tutors her as a music mas- ter, and his thrilling interview with the man who wronged him conies as a great climax. But only at the subsequent wedding, and then half- unconsciously does he affirm his right by answering the question, "who gives away the bride?" with an emphatic "I do!" Under the spell of a great inter-preter, such as Mr. Kemp is, humor and pathos follow in such a quick succession and with such rapidity that the audience must needs laugh and weep together, and could scarce-ly know which was their true re-sponse. There were many high spots in both emotions throughout the story. "Ah, they have come to take away that box of discords, which sounds like a banjo and with no key on speaking tern with its neighbor!" explains the embarrass-ed old man. And again in another mood lie cries out, "Nature never makes a blunder; when she makes a scoundrel she means lit!" Aberdeen may well wish that Mr. Kemp may come again. NAME FOR OUR TEAM With the formation of an "N" Club the athletics of Northern Nor-mal are well organized and worked up but there is still one thing lack-ing---- a name for our teams. By this we mean an officially recognized name and one that whenever print-ed or spoken anywhere in the state will mean no one 'but the N. N. I. S. team. At the present time, only such names as the "Pedagogs" or the "Teachers" names given by the newspaper reporters are used and these will apply as well to one Nor-mal as to another. Is it not time that we find some name that desig-nates us and only us, something dis-tinctive within South Dakota? Every-one knows that all the teams from big schools have their distinctive-ness. There are but few who don't know 'who the "Bulldogs", the Tig-ers", the "Gophers' or the "Hawk-eyes" are. Then, within our own state we have the State College "Jackrabbits" 'the University "Coy-otes", the "Greyhounds" of Yank-ton, the "Scalpers" or Huron, as ex-amples. Should our teams 'be the only important teams to go name-less? Surely not. We are going to be second to no one in athletics, not even in a name. Let's have a few suggestions, students. Work your brain a little bit and with everyone contributing, a good name will sure-ly result. And don't forget that Dr. Foght has offered a one dallar prize to the person suggesting a name suitable for adoption. GOES TO WASHINGTON Miss Mildred Johnson of Lemmon, S. D., who has 'been a student at N. N. I. S.,' since September ,has ac-cepted a government position In Washington, D. C. During the war Miss Johnson held a position at Washington in the War Risk Insur-ance Department. She liked the work so well that she decided to re-enter government work. She will be located at a West Point Finishing School of Engineering. Her duties will cosist of clerical work. In the summer, Miss Johnson expects to devote her spare time to aviation and at the present time is negotiat-ing with different companies for the purchase of a plane. Miss John-son's many friends extend their best wishes for her success, WILLIS E. JOHNSON HAS RESIGNED PRESIDENCY FORMER N. N. I. S. HEAD Board of Regents Pass Complimen-tary Resolutions At a meeting of the board of re-gents of education last Wednesday night President Willis E. Johnson of State College presented his resigna-tion, to be effective July 1, 1923. In accepting Dr. Johnsons' resig-nation the regents expressed their high appreciation of his splendid services to South Dakota for many years and adopted the following re-solutions: "Whereas, Dr. Willis E. Johnson has voluntarily presented to this board his resignation as president of South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts to take effect July 1, 1923; and, "Whereas, President Johnson has served the state in a most notable and conspicuous way for over twen-ty years, first as instructor in the Northern Normal and industrial school from its beginning, later as its vice president and finally for five years as its president during which time the school doubled in size; and, "Whereas, President Johnson has served as president of State College the past four years during which time it has experienced a remark-able growth, particularly in the at-tendance in the college of agricul-ture and in the spirit and morale of the institution; and, "Whereas, he has proven himself through all these years to he a thor-ough scholar, a far seeing and cap-able executive and an inspiring lea-der possessing a fine Christian char-acter; "Now, therefore, be it resolved by the regents of education, in ac-cepting his resignation, that we con-gratulate him upon the outstanding service he has performed for South Dakota, and express our sincere re-gret at losing his splendid services and our good will and best wishes for his success in all future under-takings. Dr. Johnson was for many years connected with N. N. I. S. as instruc-tor, Vice-President and President. many friends will 'be sorry to learn that he is contemplating leaving the state of South Dakota when he has spent so many years in splendid ser-vice. Dr. Johnson has been a reader of the Exponent since its beginning. For this reason we shall follow his future career with interest, sorry that he is going but realizing that our loss will be other's gain. VALENTINE PARTY Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Sipple enter-tained about twenty-four faculty members at a Valentine party and dinner -last Tuesday at 6:30 P. M. The decorations were in red hearts and red carnations. Mary Sipple, dressed as a little Valentine, met the guests at the door. One at a time they were ushered into another room where Max Sipple stood guard over a jar of candy hearts. Each one was to guess how many hearts were in the jar. Two prizes were offered these being won by Mr. Armstrong and Mrs. Speelman. The hearts were used as after dinner mints and great fun resulted from reading the little love messages on' each heart. As entertainment, valentines were prepared with names of people of movies or fiction. There were two prizes offered for the best love mes-sage prepared by each couple, ac-cording to their names. Dr. Bunker and Mrs. F. W. Smith as John Alden and Priscilla won first prize. Mrs. MaLmberg and Mrs. Barnes as Kate and Petruchio, won second prize. The prizes were valentines. At the close of the evening, all joined in singing love songs and everyone left regretting that the time had passed so quickly and pronounc-ing Mr. and Mrs. Sipple as royal en-tertainers. MID-WEEK DANCE The mid-week nickle dance held Friday afternoon, from four to six o'clock was a - popular affair, as the sun-parlor was filled the whole time by the crowds in attendance. Every-one paid a nickle to enter, and the proceeds went to the school orchestra which played for the occasion. This dance was given Friday afternoon because there could be none Satur-day night on account of the 'basket-ball games. Since there was no party in E-2, the regular Social Hour fund could not be drawn upon, and hence the admission to cover the costs. Anyway the idea was very propitious and most enjoyable.
