The first quarter threw a real scare into Normal fans when Yank-ton played their heavier opponents off their feet and carried the ball to the four yard line, where a fumble momentarily stopped their march. Fisher, standing behind his own goal line. got off a poor punt which was good for only 5 yards, and Yankton, after three plunges had netted only 5 yards, passed for a touchdown. Here the Normal commenced an on-slought which took the ball from their own 20 yard line to Yankton's 2.6 yard line. A penalty lost them 15 yards but Ernst gained back 10 of them on the next play and Fisher passed to Swenson for a touchdown. Immediately after the next kick-off Normal started another march for the goal line and, aided by a 15 yard penalty, scored the touchdown which put the Normal in the lead. In the third quarter the Wolves renewed their offensive, after Evans intercepted a pass on Yankton's 35 yard line, and scored their third and last touchdown, on runs and smash-es, Ernst took the ball over. In the fourth quarter Yankton opened up a pass attack which took the ball from 'their own 40 yard line to Normal's 27 yard line. From this point by the help of 20 yards in penalties on the Nomral they went over for a touchdown in three plays. The Normal took the next kick-off to the Yankton 29 yard line before a ,penalty of 15 yards halted their ad-vance. Then Normal forced Yankton back to their five yard line when the game ended with Yankton in possession of the ball. Ernst was undoubtedly -the big star for the Normal, carrying the ball during the game, for a total of 159 yds. The backfield 'ran excellent interference during the entire game, ma-terially aiding Ernst in -his brilliant showing. Too much praise cannot be accorded to the flashy. little back, however. Palmer gained consistently thru the line during the time he was in the game, once breaking thru for 28 yards, the longest run of the game. Crosley, played his usual hard hit-ting game and could always be re-lied upon for a substantial gain. Fisher and Evans made good gains and both played a whale of a game defensively. The work of the line offensively was the best shown this season. It made possible many of the gains of the backs and would have held Yank-ton scoreless had it not been for a bad punt and untimely penalties. Crow's work was of the highest order, and with the good work of Stinson and Kadesky, rendered the center of the line impregnable. After Saturday's showing the Wolves have an excellent chance for the Conference Championship. Details of the game will be pub-lished in the next issue. COMMENTS ON GAME (Contributed) The Yankton Greyhounds were de-feated Saturday by the Normal Wolv-es in one of the fastest, hardest and cleanest games of the season. After a poor start the Normal smashed and circled the ends at will, com-pletely outclassing Yankton. The Normal's forward wall played Yank-ton's line off its feet. It is largely -due to their efforts that the fast running back field was able to gain. Of the backs Ernst was the partic-ular star with Palmer a close second. Ernst's clever work as an open field runner in circling the ends and run-ring back punts marked him as one of the most dangerous half backs in the Conference. Palmer's line smashing was a rev-elation. He gained all the way from five to thirty yards at a clip. Fisher, Crosley and Evans played a stellar game. Evans brought the crowd to its feet by his brilliant work in receiving and intercepting pass- Coach Speelman deserves credit for the success of the Normal. His work has been of the highest order. One of the most outstanding feat-ures of the day was the support from the student body and the down-town people. The cheering and College yells were fairly deafening.

STATE LYCEUM SERVICE Speech Department To Sponsor Lec-ture Courses for South Da-kota Coin in willies The desirability of a State Lyceum Service has been felt many times during the past year; after consul-tation with, representative depart-ments of the school, the Department of Speech has taken an initial 'step in the formation of such a service. The plan consists of listing the artists and talent, which we possess in this community in a printed cir-cular or bulletin; this bulletin will be sent to schools, churches and civ-ic organizations, such as Farm Bur-eaus, Women's Clubs, Parent Teach-er Associations, Business Men's Or-ganizations, etc. This bulletin will merely list the talent so that com-munities may arrange their own pro-grams. Arrangements will be made directly with the individuals whose talent is desired. The following general kinds of talent will be listed: vocal, instru-mental, and ensemble; readers, act-ors, and players; lectures, and speeches, both educational and en-tertaining. Faculty talent and ad-vanced students in the departments of music and speeoh are to be in-cluded. It is understood that what-ever student talent is listed can be obtained by payment of expenses, each person deciding his own fees. No fees, however, N,v 1 1 be listed in the circular. Organizations can ob-tain information concerning the a-mount of the fees by communicating directly with the persons desired. The whole purpose of this plan is to make a respectable presentation of whateveir talent we have so that communities may avail themselves of it. PRESIDENT FOGHT HEARS FROM JAPAN GOVERNMENT MAY MAKE TRIP IN SPRING Says Japan Is Rebuilding Fast and Appreciates America's Help When the terrible earthquake and fire destroyed Yokohama, Tokio, and other cities in Japan, President Foght gave up all hopes of making his Japanese trip. A few days after the tragedy he received a wireless message from the Minister of For-eign Affairs in these words: "Post-pone trip. Letter." After a long de-lay the first letter came through yes-terday, written by Dr. M. Sawayan-agi, Minister of Education. This let-ter, which is reproduced below in the quaint language in which is was written, shows the indomitable cour-age of the Japanese and their deter-mination to overcome even this great calamity in the shortest time possi-ble. In spite of the fact that sever-al of the Universities in which Dr. Foght was to have lectured have been destroyed, the Japanese educators hope to have things sufficiently re-constructed to have Dr. and Mrs. Foght come and make the study of the schools next April, the charm-ing cherry blossom time in Japan. The letter follows: Takada-Machi, Tokio October 14, 1923 President H. W. Foght Dear Sir: I am very sorry that I could not welcome you and Mrs. Foght as has been arranged, I believe you under-stand quite well what terrible ca-lamity had occurred in Tokio, Yoka-har• a and vicinity which obliged us to change our a"rangement. The best part of Tokio and almost whole part of Yokohama have been destroy-ed. Railway service has become quite irregular, and railways which are running are chiefly devoted to trans-portation of food materials as well as building materials. So we thought it is better to ask you to postpone for some time. But we thought you might have embarked Tenyo Maru. "I believe we are quite able to wel-come you in the next spring, so if not inconvenient we wish you and Mrs Foght will come next April, just the cherry blossom time. If it does not suit you, you may come next fall with Mrs. Foght. I leave the matter entirely at your selection. Only I wish to know when you and Mrs. Foght will come to Japan. "All Japanese are deeply moved by the sincere sympathy shown by the Americans on this time of dis-aster. "My house being situated in the suburb and in rather safety zone is slightly injured and escaped the hor-rible fire. And I and my family were in the train from my summer cottage when the earthquake occur-red. We could not come back in the train. but we got very luckily an auto, by which we could return to my house. When you come next year you can see some traces of the horrible destructive power of na- ture." Yours Sincerely, M. Sawayanagi Minister of Education BUDGET FOR 1923-1924 STUDENT ACTIVITY FUND OVER $11,000 DISTRIBUTED Estimated Receipts and Expenses Worked out by the Board at Final Meeting After several meetings the Budget Board has distributed the money in the Student Activity Fund among the various organizations of the school. This is not an easy thing to do in such a way that all may be satisfied. We publish below the var-ious items of estimated receipts as well as the various estimated expen-ditures. It would be well for the students as well as faculty members to make a study of these items so that they may know just how this money is expended. The estimated balance is provided to take care of any unexpected expenditure from this fund which. could not be deter-mined at the time the Budget Board made out the estimated receipts and expenditures.

GALLE.TT OFFERS TROPHIES Mr. Delbert Gallett of the Gallett Jewelry Company, is offering a minature silver loving cup to the winner of each of the men's and women's tennis tournaments to be played next spring at Northern Normal. These trophies measure about four inches in height and are made of pure ster-ling silver. They are very handsome in appearance and of unusual mater-ial value despite their small size. Any tennis player will take a great deal of pride in their ownership. The winners of the tournaments become the permanent owners. Mr. Gallett is a former graduate of this school and is very enthusiastic about its work and its activities. Es-pecially is he interested in tennis, he being an enthusiastic participant in that sport, and wishes to see more interest shown in the game at the Normal. There will be two tournaments op-en to students and faculty of the Normal. One trophy will be offered to the best woman player, student or faculty member, and one trophy to the best man player, student or fac-ulty. Tennis enthusiasts, let's boost this! Turn out next spring. There is a chance for any player to win one of these loving cups. Last summer the faculty eliminated the students in the men's touhnaments. Let's show them -up next spring! Everybody out and -push! SIOUX FALLS COLLEGE LOSE TO NORMAL WOLVES LOCAL TEAM CRIPPLED In Spite of Many Advantages Opposing Team Powerless To Score Sioux Falls College, fighting their hardest, before a large "Homecoming Day crowd lost to the Normal Wolves by a score of 13-0, Saturday November 3. The victory put N. N. I. S. in a tie with Dakota Wesleyan for second place in the conference standings. The game was a slowly played affair; the Normal scoring machine failed to function properly due to the injuries 'to Palmer and Cooper, the absence of Crosley and Ray Ernst, who was ruled out of the game after the second play. Sioux Falls was powerless against the strong Normal line, being unable to gain at any time. Line plunges by Fisher and Palmer resulted in two touchdowns for the Wolves. One coming in the second and one in the third period. Fisher was successful in one try for point. With the wind Fisher made one punt of 85 yard's, the ball rolling across Sioux Falls goal line. Play in the last quarter was a see-saw affair with the ball in Sioux Falls' territory most of the time. A Normal place-kick in this period was 'ten yards short. For Sioux Falls, the work of Duck-worth, Brown and Schardorf in the line and Broughton in the backfield shone above that of their team mates. Fisher, as usual, starred for the Normal while the play of Swenson and of Palmer, hampered as he was by bad ankles, was deserving of much praise.

MASQERS PLAY AT GROTON The Masquers, the newly organized dramatic club, appeared for the first time in their first production, "Mrs. Temple's Telegram". Last Tuesday the show troupe left for Groton about 1:30 p. m. They made several attempts to practice, but it was almost in vain, as the majority of the troupe were on-lookers of the Bank robbery which took place about 2:30. The whole town was very much excited, and the greater share of the day was spent in gaining more details concerning the theives. The rumored tales had even gone so far as to accuse the Masquers of smuggling in the robbers. This was soon checked, however. Following this excitement, the troupe had a splendid dinner at the Groton Hotel, a feed that will always be remembered by the hungry bunch. The show began at 8:30 sharp, and a good house was there to welcome them. The play went, off in good style and was thorougly enjoyed and appreciated by the people. Several of the Normal boosters from home came in at the last moment, which made the players more anxious to do their best. The business manager says that no money was made, but we did break even. Groton, on that day, will always be remembered by the Masquers as the place of the daylight robbery. Subscribe Today WILLIS E. JOILNSON Former President of Normal To Run For State Superintendency It is rumored that Dr. Willis E. Johnson, former N. N. I. S. president, is to become a Republican candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction in South Dakota. Leading educators of the state are advocating his nomination. There is no doubt as to his fittness. He has serv-ed South Dakota in educational work for the past twenty-one years. He has been president of two state institutions, namely, N. N. I. S. and State College at Brookings, and is now doing research work in the University of Minnesota and California. He is the author of several wellknown books, one of which is the "History of South Dakota" widely used throughout the state and he is also the author of our state song, "South Dakota, Land of Sunshine", which is a leading feature in all educational gatherings. Dr. Johnson has a very pleasing personality and was much liked by N. N. I. S. students. He attack's work with uncommon vigor and zeal and carried through each undertaking because of his ability to be in the midst of things and do the things that should be done. His place is in South Dakota and we feel sure that if elected to the superintendency he will carry on the work with his usual ability. LUTHERAN CHOIR TO SING On Saturday morning, November 17, at convocation we are to hear the Bethlehem Lutheran choir of this city. This organization is well-known throughout the city, and those who have already heard it will look forward to its appearance with pleasure. LEONARD V. SNYDER TO SING AT WATERTOWN IS SOUTH DAKOTA BOY Has Captured the Entire Musical World With Tenor Voice The city of Watertown will give to the S. D. E. A. during its convention November 26, 27 and 28, the greatest musical program ever offered to this organization. Leonard V. Snyder (American Tenor), is a South Dakota boy who was born at Madison, S. D., and who has lived in Watertown since early childhood. Snyder is now recognized by the world's greatest critics as one of the GREATEST TENORS OF THE DAY. He studied in Europe for seven years with the Great Mastero Vincinzo Vanini at Florence, Italy, and for three years following this period of study appeared in GRAND OPERA in the great centers of Europe, being received with great favor and instantly recognized as one of the world's greatest tenors. Mr. Snyder made his debut in Grand Opera at the Royal Theatre, Piza, Italy, in the Opera "Andrea Chenier." His success was instantaneous. It was during a visit of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company of New York to the city of St. Paul, Minn., that Mr. Snyder received his firs( strong impulse to try for an operatic career, several prominent artists of the Met- ropolitan heard him and advised him to study seriously. During his Italian career Mr. Snyder was selected personally by the great composer Mascagni to sing his opera "Isabeau" at Milan, Italy, which was conducted personally by the composer. He was selected also by the composer, Ped- rollo, to sing his opera "The Man Who Laughs", this production also being conducted by the composer. Mr. Snyder had wonderful success and scored heavily with these operas. Dur- ing his Italian career one of Mr. Snyder's great successes was at Ver- ona, Italy, where he sang "Samson and 'Delilah" in the Arena before over 20,000 people. His coming to this side of the Atlantic a few months ago was heralded by the musical papers of this country and looked for- ward to with great interest. His ap- pearances in the United States, Can- ada and Cuba in the last few months in Grand Opera have been sensation- al. Mr. Snyder's first appearance in Opera in this country took place in New York last September when he sang the leading roles in several of the operas and it was at this-time that the critics and the music loving public of New York began to realize that one of the greatest tenor voices of the day was that of a SOUTH DAKOTA BOY. Following his New York appearances, Mr. Snyder was immediately engaged as leading tenor for Cuban season singing during the entire month of January and accord- ing to the American, Cuban and Spanish papers he secured one of the most remarkable triumphs ever won by a singer there. They clearly placed him among the foremost oper- atic stars of the day. Even before he had finished his Cuban season he was by cablegram engaged by For- tune Gallo, Impresario of the San (Continued on page 2) MRS. TEMPLE'S TELEGRAM GREAT COMEDY SUCCESS ENTIRE CAST WELL CHOSEN Fine Audience Greets Masquers' Ini- tial Production Directed By Rob Roy Hardin Proving itself one of the greatest laugh provokers ever presented, "Mrs. Temple's Telegram", produced by the Masquers under the able dir- ection of Rob Roy Hardin, scored a decided hit last Friday night. With the leading roles of Mr. and Mrs. Temple played by Earnie Moell- er and Pauline Wendell, respectively, and additional comedy of almost un- imaginable circumstances augmented by Theodore Mueller in the part of Mr. Frank Fuller and Helen Guhin in the role of Mrs. Jahn Brown, the production drew laugh's galore from a few minutes after the curtain went up until it closed on the final scene. Cyril Colahan in his portrayal of Wigson, the butler who always had the best intentions to do the obliging thing, furnished considerable and frequent minor comedy. "Mrs. Temple's Telegram", an up- to-date standard play written by Frank Wyatt and William Morris, is perhaps really the story of two mag- nificent liars-one perhaps a little more magnificent than the other, but each suffering the consequences of the truth in the end. Mr. Temple returns home one morning from an escapade of the previous night that was really only a misfortune. Mrs. Temple, very much disturbed over her husbands recent conduct, refus- ed to believe his first and truthful story, so he proceeds to offer a story that he believes should be acceptable, that is, that he dined out, and un- able to get home by train-spent the night at his friends home, whose name and address he recalls after some deliberation of his inventive genius, to be John Brown, Elm Ave- nue, Pickleton. Mrs. Temple, not believing his story, wires to John Brown to come at once. Meantime, Mr. Frank Ful- ler, an old friend of Mr. Temple's, whom Mrs. Temple has not yet met, arrives and it is decided that Mr. Puller should simply be Mr. Brown and then everything would be straightened out-for Mr. Temple. But, although the impersonation is accepted, it leads to a sea of misun- derstandings and perplexities. It soon comes to pass that there is real- ly a Mr. Brown at this supposedly fictictious address, and from the be- ginning of the second act, one em- (Continued on page 2) EVA M. BARRIE DIED Miss Eva M. Barrie, of Turton, South Dakota, a member of the the Fourth Year Class, died at her home in Turton, South Dakota, on Friday, November 9. Her death resulted from an automobile accident in which her skull was fractured. She went home on Saturday November 3, to spend the week-end and on Sunday morning in company with her sister and two brothers, she started in a car to early mass. The steering gear became loose and the car left the road, turned over two or three times. The others in the car were slightly injured, and Eva was car- ried in an unconscious condition to her home only a quarter of a mile away. She was in too critical a con- dition to be removed to the hospital in Aberdeen, but Dr. R. L. Murdy was called to operate if necessary. He advised waiting for further devel- opments. She remained in a partial- ly unconscious condition during most of the week, though she occasionally roused and recognized members of the family. Her condition was con- sidered rather encouraging until Fri- day morning when she became worse. She died at 3:30 in the afternoon. Miss Barrie was in her second year at Normal, and would have re-ceived a First Grade Certificate in June 1924. During her stay in Ab-erdeen she made her home with Miss Meek and Dr. Blanche O. Bunker. Her record as a student is excellent. She was very well liked by all who knew her, and her many friends, both faculty members and students, were greatly grieved to hear of the accident and her subsequent death. The funeral was held Monday morning in the Catholic church at Turton. A number of faculty mem-bers and students attended the serv-ices and expressed to the sorrowing family and friends, the sympathy of the school.

There is a chance for any player to win one of these loving cups. Last summer the faculty eliminated the students in the men's touhnaments. Let's show them -up next spring! Everybody out and -push! SIOUX FALLS COLLEGE LOSE TO NORMAL WOLVES LOCAL TEAM CRIPPLED In Spite of Many Advantages Opposing Team Powerless To Score Sioux Falls College, fighting their hardest, before a large "Homecoming Day crowd lost to the Normal Wolves by a score of 13-0, Saturday November 3. The victory put N. N. I. S. in a tie with Dakota Wesleyan for second place in the conference standings. The game was a slowly played affair; the Normal scoring machine failed to function properly due to the injuries 'to Palmer and Cooper, the absence of Crosley and Ray Ernst, who was ruled out of the game after the second play. Sioux Falls was powerless against the strong Normal line, being unable to gain at any time. Line plunges by Fisher and Palmer resulted in two touchdowns for the Wolves. One coming in the second and one in the third period. Fisher was successful in one try for point. With the wind Fisher made one punt of 85 yard's, the ball rolling across Sioux Falls goal line. Play in the last quarter was a see-saw affair with the ball in Sioux Falls' territory most of the time. A Normal place-kick in this period was 'ten yards short. For Sioux Falls, the work of Duck-worth, Brown and Schardorf in the line and Broughton in the backfield shone above that of their team mates. Fisher, as usual, starred for the Normal while the play of Swenson and of Palmer, hampered as he was by bad ankles, was deserving of much praise.

MASQERS PLAY AT GROTON The Masquers, the newly organized dramatic club, appeared for the first time in their first production, "Mrs. Temple's Telegram". Last Tuesday the show troupe left for Groton about 1:30 p. m. They made several attempts to practice, but it was almost in vain, as the majority of the troupe were on-lookers of the Bank robbery which took place about 2:30. The whole town was very much excited, and the greater share of the day was spent in gaining more details concerning the theives. The rumored tales had even gone so far as to accuse the Masquers of smuggling in the robbers. This was soon checked, however. Following this excitement, the troupe had a splendid dinner at the Groton Hotel, a feed that will always be remembered by the hungry bunch. The show began at 8:30 sharp, and a good house was there to welcome them. The play went, off in good style and was thorougly enjoyed and appreciated by the people. Several of the Normal boosters from home came in at the last moment, which made the players more anxious to do their best. The business manager says that no money was made, but we did break even. Groton, on that day, will always be remembered by the Masquers as the place of the daylight robbery. Subscribe Today WILLIS E. JOILNSON Former President of Normal To Run For State Superintendency It is rumored that Dr. Willis E. Johnson, former N. N. I. S. president, is to become a Republican candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction in South Dakota. Leading educators of the state are advocating his nomination. There is no doubt as to his fittness. He has serv-ed South Dakota in educational work for the past twenty-one years. He has been president of two state institutions, namely, N. N. I. S. and State College at Brookings, and is now doing research work in the University of Minnesota and California. He is the author of several wellknown books, one of which is the "History of South Dakota" widely used throughout the state and he is also the author of our state song, "South Dakota, Land of Sunshine", which is a leading feature in all educational gatherings. Dr. Johnson has a very pleasing personality and was much liked by N. N. I. S. students. He attack's work with uncommon vigor and zeal and carried through each undertaking because of his ability to be in the midst of things and do the things that should be done. His place is in South Dakota and we feel sure that if elected to the superintendency he will carry on the work with his usual ability. LUTHERAN CHOIR TO SING On Saturday morning, November 17, at convocation we are to hear the Bethlehem Lutheran choir of this city. This organization is well-known throughout the city, and those who have already heard it will look forward to its appearance with pleasure. LEONARD V. SNYDER TO SING AT WATERTOWN IS SOUTH DAKOTA BOY Has Captured the Entire Musical World With Tenor Voice The city of Watertown will give to the S. D. E. A. during its convention November 26, 27 and 28, the greatest musical program ever offered to this organization. Leonard V. Snyder (American Tenor), is a South Dakota boy who was born at Madison, S. D., and who has lived in Watertown since early childhood. Snyder is now recognized by the world's greatest critics as one of the GREATEST TENORS OF THE DAY. He studied in Europe for seven years with the Great Mastero Vincinzo Vanini at Florence, Italy, and for three years following this period of study appeared in GRAND OPERA in the great centers of Europe, being received with great favor and instantly recognized as one of the world's greatest tenors. Mr. Snyder made his debut in Grand Opera at the Royal Theatre, Piza, Italy, in the Opera "Andrea Chenier." His success was instantaneous. It was during a visit of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company of New York to the city of St. Paul, Minn., that Mr. Snyder received his firs( strong impulse to try for an operatic career, several prominent artists of the Met- ropolitan heard him and advised him to study seriously. During his Italian career Mr. Snyder was selected personally by the great composer Mascagni to sing his opera "Isabeau" at Milan, Italy, which was conducted personally by the composer. He was selected also by the composer, Ped- rollo, to sing his opera "The Man Who Laughs", this production also being conducted by the composer. Mr. Snyder had wonderful success and scored heavily with these operas. Dur- ing his Italian career one of Mr. Snyder's great successes was at Ver- ona, Italy, where he sang "Samson and 'Delilah" in the Arena before over 20,000 people. His coming to this side of the Atlantic a few months ago was heralded by the musical papers of this country and looked for- ward to with great interest. His ap- pearances in the United States, Can- ada and Cuba in the last few months in Grand Opera have been sensation- al. Mr. Snyder's first appearance in Opera in this country took place in New York last September when he sang the leading roles in several of the operas and it was at this-time that the critics and the music loving public of New York began to realize that one of the greatest tenor voices of the day was that of a SOUTH DAKOTA BOY. Following his New York appearances, Mr. Snyder was immediately engaged as leading tenor for Cuban season singing during the entire month of January and accord- ing to the American, Cuban and Spanish papers he secured one of the most remarkable triumphs ever won by a singer there. They clearly placed him among the foremost oper- atic stars of the day. Even before he had finished his Cuban season he was by cablegram engaged by For- tune Gallo, Impresario of the San (Continued on page 2) MRS. TEMPLE'S TELEGRAM GREAT COMEDY SUCCESS ENTIRE CAST WELL CHOSEN Fine Audience Greets Masquers' Ini- tial Production Directed By Rob Roy Hardin Proving itself one of the greatest laugh provokers ever presented, "Mrs. Temple's Telegram", produced by the Masquers under the able dir- ection of Rob Roy Hardin, scored a decided hit last Friday night. With the leading roles of Mr. and Mrs. Temple played by Earnie Moell- er and Pauline Wendell, respectively, and additional comedy of almost un- imaginable circumstances augmented by Theodore Mueller in the part of Mr. Frank Fuller and Helen Guhin in the role of Mrs. Jahn Brown, the production drew laugh's galore from a few minutes after the curtain went up until it closed on the final scene. Cyril Colahan in his portrayal of Wigson, the butler who always had the best intentions to do the obliging thing, furnished considerable and frequent minor comedy. "Mrs. Temple's Telegram", an up- to-date standard play written by Frank Wyatt and William Morris, is perhaps really the story of two mag- nificent liars-one perhaps a little more magnificent than the other, but each suffering the consequences of the truth in the end. Mr. Temple returns home one morning from an escapade of the previous night that was really only a misfortune. Mrs. Temple, very much disturbed over her husbands recent conduct, refus- ed to believe his first and truthful story, so he proceeds to offer a story that he believes should be acceptable, that is, that he dined out, and un- able to get home by train-spent the night at his friends home, whose name and address he recalls after some deliberation of his inventive genius, to be John Brown, Elm Ave- nue, Pickleton. Mrs. Temple, not believing his story, wires to John Brown to come at once. Meantime, Mr. Frank Ful- ler, an old friend of Mr. Temple's, whom Mrs. Temple has not yet met, arrives and it is decided that Mr. Puller should simply be Mr. Brown and then everything would be straightened out-for Mr. Temple. But, although the impersonation is accepted, it leads to a sea of misun- derstandings and perplexities. It soon comes to pass that there is real- ly a Mr. Brown at this supposedly fictictious address, and from the be- ginning of the second act, one em- (Continued on page 2) EVA M. BARRIE DIED Miss Eva M. Barrie, of Turton, South Dakota, a member of the the Fourth Year Class, died at her home in Turton, South Dakota, on Friday, November 9. Her death resulted from an automobile accident in which her skull was fractured. She went home on Saturday November 3, to spend the week-end and on Sunday morning in company with her sister and two brothers, she started in a car to early mass. The steering gear became loose and the car left the road, turned over two or three times. The others in the car were slightly injured, and Eva was car- ried in an unconscious condition to her home only a quarter of a mile away. She was in too critical a con- dition to be removed to the hospital in Aberdeen, but Dr. R. L. Murdy was called to operate if necessary. He advised waiting for further devel- opments. She remained in a partial- ly unconscious condition during most of the week, though she occasionally roused and recognized members of the family. Her condition was con- sidered rather encouraging until Fri- day morning when she became worse. She died at 3:30 in the afternoon. Miss Barrie was in her second year at Normal, and would have re-ceived a First Grade Certificate in June 1924. During her stay in Ab-erdeen she made her home with Miss Meek and Dr. Blanche O. Bunker. Her record as a student is excellent. She was very well liked by all who knew her, and her many friends, both faculty members and students, were greatly grieved to hear of the accident and her subsequent death. The funeral was held Monday morning in the Catholic church at Turton. A number of faculty mem-bers and students attended the serv-ices and expressed to the sorrowing family and friends, the sympathy of the school.
