The Exponent Northern State Teachers College VOL. XXIII ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, OCTOBER 7, 1924. No. 2 HERE'S HOPING FOR THE "BEST GYPSY DAY IN HISTORY" DR. AND MRS. FOGHT COMPLETE FIRST LAP WRITE FROM HONOLULU Promise to Keep Exponent Readers Posted on Tour In Orient Our good ship "Tenyo" is approaching Honolulu after five and one half days at sea, so it behooves me to leave deck and the fun that is going on there to fill my promise and pen the "Exponent" a few lines from my diary to date. It has been a glorious restful voyage up to this point. We lingered long enough in Seattle, Portland and Sanfrancisco to break the monotony of the overland trip—but that has no part in my letter today. I wish to talk sea and ocean travel only this time, and, although iwe are yet only 200(1 miles from shore, these miles have not been without some real experiences. It is high noon on Friday, Sept. 12, and the "Tenyo" is about to depart. On the pier are assembled friends and relatives of the Japanese and Chinese passengers. As the last warning bugle sounds, a perfect maze of paper streamers shoot from several decks into eagerly waiting hands below— to be cuing to till the moving ship rends the chain in twain. And who says that the Oriental is all stoicism! They should have seen the old Japanese mother, in a retired nook in the wharfage, weeping in her heart-anguish; and others, young and old, furtively wiping their eyes, as the steamer slowly swung into the bay and gathered heathway. No, verily hearts are much the same the world over! It is probably true that the Orientals in their more mystic and fatalistic living, are, on the whole, more able than we, Caucasians, to mash their real feelings. So we begin our adventure with this beautiful custom; and may we have the good fortune in three or four months, to .see it re-enacted at Yokohama— we and the ship and good Japanese friends holding the streamers from the pier. For we felt a bit lonesome at San Francisco, envying those others. But it was soon forgotten as our cabin held a great treasure of telegrams, steamer letters, flowers, and candies—so we were not forgotten after all. Nor could we have chosen a more auspicious day for the adventure's beginning! High noon, it was on Sept. 12, our country's first defense Day. Could there have been a prouder CHARLES DOKKEN setting than this? As we slipped out through the Golden Gate to the mystery of the silent ocean, seaplanes soared overhead, and scores of sinister- looking, gray-painted destroyers glided by, feeling out the way for the mighty United States battle fleet just coming into view beyond the narrows. (Continued on Page 2) HARES AND HOUNDS TO RACE TOMORROW NIGHT SPONSORED BY W. A. A. Former Active Members, Plus All New Girls Interested, Expected to Make Record Crowd; Eats! The Executive Board of the Women's Athletic Association has extended an invitation to all new girls interested in participation in organized athletics to join with old members of the Association in a Hare and Hound 'Chase tomorro.w afternoon. Those planning to attend will gather in the gym after classes. The "Hares" will have been gone much earlier in order that the scent may have a chance to cool somewhat, before the onrush of the hungry "Hounds." There will be some kind of eats, we have been assured, to really satisfy those hounds at the end of the winding trail. We aren't sure what they'll be but we intend to go and find out. Won't you come too? TO ENCOURAGE MUSIC Prof. Ivor Thomas One of Committee To Organize Districts for Spring Contest Professor Ivor Thomas, head of the Music Department, leaves this week for Huron to attend a meeting of the head of music departments of all the State Normal Schools to discuss plans for district music contests to be held next spring. The plan at present is for each Normal School to be the rallying point for its special district, for all those who may enter the contest. It may be recalled that last May, Professor Thomas was one of the six judges at the music contest at Madison, in which there were over one thousand high school students entered from various sections of the state, representing pianists, violinists, vocalists, (soloists and glee clubs) orchestral instrument soloists, bands and orchestras. Professor Thomas was so much im- JACK EVANS pressed with the importance of this gathering and the enthusiasm manifested that on his return he immediately took up with President Foght the matter of having such a contest at our own school next year. President Foght and numerous business men of Aberdeen heartily approve the idea and the details are now in course of preparation. It will be a big thing for our school and for Aberdeen and a still bigger thing for those who enter this contest. CHICAGO'S FAVORITE GRAND OPERA STAR HERE IN CONCERT TONIGHT Virgilio Lazzari Premiere In Excellent Lecture Course Numbers N. S. T. C. is indeed fortunate in having Virgilio Lazzari as an opening number on their Lecture Course. One critic has said of him, "Not since the days of great Plancon has there been a bass voice that has received so much comment. After making his debut with the Chicago Opera Com- pany in the fall of 1921 his name was on the tongue of every opera patron and music lover the following day. No one has ever heard such a gor- geous and resonant bass." Mr. Lazzari comes to us as a singer of light opera, and famous in the last three years as an operatic singer. On Tuesday evening he will give us a concert recital, which will undoubted- ly be to a capacity house. One of Mr. Lazzari's roles has brought forth much and most fav- orable comment is that of "Mefisto- fele." In this role he is the successor to the great Chaliapin. The critics pronounced him "vocally superb" in the parts. By special request he will un- doubtedly give us one or two num- bers from this opera. Last season, (Continued on Page 2) FRED KIBLER "JAKE" SPEELMAN-Coach ORIGIN OF GYPSY DAY AND OTHER SIDELIGHTS FIRST GYPSY DAY WAS CELEBRATED IN 1916 Gratest Annual Play-Day Absorbs Campus and City For Entire Day Once again we are facing Gypsy Day, our annual home-coining and greatest celebration day at the Northern State Teachers College. We who have attended college in the years past, need no introduction to this greatest of all school holidays, but for the new students who have come to make their home with us during the coming school year let us give a brief history and a word of introduction to this best loved day of the entire school calendar. Our first Gypsy Day was celebrated in 1916. Charles Fleishman has rightly been called the "Father of Gypsy Day," since it was in his fertile brain that Gypsy Day first originated. Nearly every College has a homecoming day, Brookings celebrating "Hobo Day" the State University "Dakota Day" and so down the list. And, of course, to be true to type and genuine Gypsies we must have a MARION CONCORAN Gypsy Queen queen. Bernice Remde was the young lady first to be chosen to that most honorable position. The Queen is elected by the student body and faculty members, the election being held shortly before Gypsy Day. To be chosen "Queen of the Gypsies" is one of the highest honors which can come to any girl at the College. Upon that day she is the most important personage on the Campus. Even the business houses down town turn out to do homage to Her Royal Highness and her devoted tribe. There are also other important officers, such as Marshal of the Day, who leads the parade and has charge of the program in general. The parade is composed of floats representing the various school organizations, class organization, decorated cars and individual floats besides the many gayly dressed troupes who follow on foot. There are prizes offered for the best costumes worn among the student and faculty body, as well as for the best class and individual floats. These prizes are given by local business men and have consisted of wearing apparel, fountain pens, money and various other useful articles. In the morning of Gypsy Day the Gypsy Queen is crowned. After a STAG PARTY The annual stag party for the young men of' the school was held in the gym, September 29, the Y. M. C. A. being responsible for the fine even- 'ng's entertainment. Several talks and various musical numbers were given. This together with the watermelon feed, which was served to all, and the games, constituted a fine diversion for all who attended the party. Although there was not as big a turnout as was expected, the party was a success and it is hoped that more such parties can be given during the year as this is one of the best ways of getting the young men of the school together, and a splendid means of getting acquainted. short program the parade forms for its march through the down-town district. Talk about Ringling Bros. show drawing a crowd of people! Our Gypsy Day Parade could run them out of business in short order if there was a chance for competition. Business is forgotten. People line the streets from one end of Main to the other as tight as they can be packed. We see faces from every window and door. Even the roofs have been made use of by the younger boys. At noon we shall have a barbecue followed by stunts, and other entertainment. A football game out on Johnson's Field helps to furnish real thrills. Our boys are usually considered invulnerable on Gypsy Day and it is very, very seldom that the visiting team carries away the victory. Between games there is a snake dance. Then after the game we feed our famished selves at the dining hall TED REMDE Marshal upon all the good things that real Gypsies like. To bring this glorious day to a fitting close the tired but happy Gypsies gather at the auditorium where some of their talented actor and actress friends give a play. And, last but not least, there is an all-school party for those who do not dance and for those who do care "to trip the light fantastic" there is a dance in the gymnasium. The items mentioned are just a brief summary of what the day really means.. To know Gypsy Day you must participate in one. Dressed in the gay Gypsy colors, happy and light-hearted we entertain ourselves in true care-free Gypsy style the whole day through and because this is also homecoming day we find many of our old schoolmates back to help make this the day of (lays in our school life; a day which will be rich with memories of beloved comrades and joyous school days. Last year the slogan was "Best Gypsy Day in History." It was a splendid day but we can make it bet-ter than every this year if we but try. It is our day and to make it the best day we must all cooperate. Let's all get together and make this an-ether "Best Gypsy Day in History." THANKS I want to thank the kind friends who supported me so loyally in the f•ampaign r queen. You did your I est and I am grateful to you. I hope the campus people will be very happy in their chosen queen and the the corn-ing Gypsy Day will be the happiest in the history of the school. MISS MEEK'S ADDRESS Since last week's Exponent was published, Miss Meek has changed her address as may be noted from the fol- lowing card: "Please send my Ex- ponent to Apartment 87, 106 Morn- ingside Drive, New York City. I don't want to miss the first issue. Best wishes for a successful year." Y. W. C. A. RECEPTION Christian Organization of N. S. T. C. Has Bright Prospects The first meeting of the College Y. W. C. A. was a reception given Sunday, September 27, in the Lincoln Hall Sun-Parlor. The Hall was artis- tically decorated with fall flowers. Ilwo-hundred students and faculty members were present. They were received by a large reception com- mittee with Mildred' Anderson, the treasurer of the association, in charge. The entertaining program consist- ed of vocal solos by Miss Hope Foght, readings by Mrs. Helen Burns-Leigh- ton, and piano selections by Mrs. Edna Leimer. Refreshments were served by a committee directed by Harriet Seymour. The Aberdeen Candy Kitchen and Ward-Owsley who are ever ,willing to help N. S. T. C., donated candy for the group. This year the Y. W. C. A. promises GEORGE PALMER Captain to become a most successful organ-ization; more have expressed inter-est in the work: the town girls, who have formerly lacked time to attend, have planned to take part in the ac-tivities of the club; and the new of-ficers and the faculty committee are enthusiastic and anxious to make this Christian work a more vital force on the campus. Gypsy Day-October 18 REGULAR GYM CLASSES TO COMMENCE OCT. 14 HAD YOUR PHYSICAL EXAM? Only Girls Presenting the Exam Card Can Report for Gym; Doctor and Assistance Kept Busy Regular gymnasium work for all women sutdents will commence on Oc- tober 14. By that time every girl will have had an opportunity to arrange for a thorough physical examination by Dr. Kepler. It is important that this be done before the fourteenth as only girls bearing the card O. K.'d by the Doctor can enrool in the gym classes. The annual physical exam is being given this year in sections. That is, the exam being given now are a preliminary affair, the aim of which is to discober the general physuical condition of all girls and their ability to participate in gymnastic work. Special attention therefore, is being paid to such vital organs as the heart and lungs and to defects in the frame work of the body. While corrective class work is imopossible at the present time, due to lack of facilities, individual needs will be stressed as far as possible. Later, in the year, more thorough examinations will be arranged. Gypsy Day- October 18 Heinrick Hannesson WOLVES LOSE GAME TO AUGUSTANA VIKINGS TEAMS WELL MATCHED Opponents Make Score On Intercepted Pass in Third Quarter An intercepted forward pass in the third quarter was the break of the game which enabled Augustana College to defeat Northern State Teachers College, at Sioux Falls last Friday, 6 to 0. The Wolves showed superiority in every department of play except in line plunging, in which neither eleven had an advantage, but inability to capitalize Augustana fumbles in the early stages of the game cost Speelman's men their best opportunities to score. The Northern State gang was hardly as well conditioned as the Vikings, who had been pointing for the Aberdeen game since practice began a month ago. The Wolves' backfield showed all the stuff it was reputed to have, and with another week's practice, critics agreed, will be one of the niftiest offensive crews in the state conference. Captain Palmer, Evans, Welsh, and Rousseau all looked good, and so did Hanson at end. The lone Augustana touchdown came early in the third quarter when a Northern State pass was intercepted and a couple of trick criss-crosses put the Augustana crew on the one foot. line, from which they smashed the ball over in two downs. The lineup was as follows: Wolves Vikings Kibler R. E. Leverson Ripley R. T. Anderson Hannesson R. G. Erickson McLaughlin C Iverson Merkle L. G. Boe Dokken L. T. Gryte Hansen L. E. Brakke Welsh Q. 13. Iverson Palmer R. H. Harvey Evans L. H. Fjellstad Rousseau F. B. Ulberg Subs—Kugler, Humphrey, Ihde and Keating. Officials—Hartwell of Cornell, referee; Harvey of State College, umpire, and Herman of Sioux Falls headlinesman. Y. W. REST ROOM The Y. W. c. A. room which is in the Central building, W-14, has been rearraned by the girls. There are comfortable chairs and couches where you may rest. There are also tables, pen and ink, in order that you may study or write if you wish to do so. Someone will be in charge several LLOYD RIPLEY days in the week. The girls have put considerable time and effort upon this room to make it comfortasble and homelike. They wish everyone to enjoy it. The new girls should look up this room and make themselves at home. FACULTY MEMBERS ENJOY BRIEF VACATION PERIOD MOST GO OUT OF TOWN N. S. T. C. Teachers Touch Nearly Every State In The Union Dur-ing Summer Last week's Exponent told about the trip of Dr. and Mrs. Foght to japan. For this week we are glad to give information as to the where-abouts of the various faculty mem-bers during the summer. It is inter-esting to note that they traveled far and wide reaching practically every state in the Union. The first week of vacation Miss Grimes spent at Mitchell, going there upon request to sing at the Congre-gational church. From here she went to the Black finis region dividing her time bet ween visiting relatives at Rap-id City and camping in the Hills. Be-fore returning to Aberdeen a very en-joyable motor trip 'was taken to Camp McMaster. Mrs. Helen Burns-Leighton, during (Continued on Page 2)
