"WHITE COLLARS" The Exponent "WHITE COLLARS" Northern State Teachers College VOL. XXV ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, MAY 25, 1927 No. 32 "ROSE MAIDEN" WILL USHER IN COMMENCEMENT EVENTS MANY SPECIAL COURSES FOR THE SUMMER SCHOOL SENIOR CLASS WILL OFFER "WHITE COLLARS" MISS HAYES DIRECTING PLAY Strong Cast to Present Comedy by Ellis; Will Be a Feature of Commencement Week As their chief contribution to the events of Commencement Week, the Senior Class will present the three-act comedy "White Collars" by Edith Ellis in the auditorium, Tuesday eve-ning, May 31. A strong cast from the Senior Class has been selected and is working under the direction of Miss Harriet Hayes. Miss Hayes has had several successes in the dramatic line already this year, having coached the Leadership play, the Masquer's play and the Junior College production. Clair Willson is acting as business manager and Pete Hafnor is stage manager. He is being assisted with the scenery by Prof. Harkness' Ap-plied Dramatics class. "White Collars" is not, as you might suspect, the story of a Chinese Laun-dry. Neither does it have anything to do with the handsome man in the Arrow collar ads. It is the story of a rich man who was democratic and a poor family that wasn't. Bill Van Luyn is the rich man and he marries Joan, a daughter of the poor family. That's where the trouble begins and it takes three acts of clever comedy to straighten out the difficulties and convince Joan's family that Bill really is a very decent sort. Bob Campbell is going to be the rich man-in the play, and Edna Dunker is the sensible member of the family who marries him. William Elsing will play the part of her fath-er, a gentle old man who has been harshly treated by the world. Esther Zimmerman will play the part of the mother, and Wesley Smart the broth- er. Helen Guhin is the flapper sister, a slangy, hard-boiled young stenograph-er who has been stepping regularly with Tom Gibney, a truck driver. Mil-ton Laing as the truck driver may be somewhat deficient in the art of polite parlor conversation but he's a real knockout when it comes to a display of fists. Pearl Yeager is the rich man's fash-ionable sister who rather overawes the Thayers with her smart clothes, but who is an important factor in bring-ing affairs to a happy conclusion. Arthur Hill, as Henry, completes the cast. Henry is the Socialistic cou-sin of the Thayers. He has very de-cided opinions on the rights of the middle classes and he loves nothing quite so much as a chance to explain his opinions to an audience. Taking everything into considera-tion the Thayers and the Van Luyns are two very interesting families and their adventures in "White Collars" will provide an evening of delightful entertainment. Remember the time, the place, the price. Tuesday eve-ning, May 31, in the auditorium. Stu-dent tickets are 35 cents; other tickets 50 cents. Reserved seats 15 cents ex- tra. H. E. MIELKE WRITES Former Student 1902 Recalls Early Athletic Stars and Contests; Now Resides at Ryder, N. D. "Will try and take in part of the commencement anniversary. The writer was on the football team and basketball team from 1903-1906, play-ing right-guard on the one team and center in the other. Dr. Carl Lund-quist of Leola, S. D., was also on the football squad at the time, as well as Carl Cummins, coo Morphy, Bradford & Cummins, St. Paul, Minn., Lee Tower, Dillon, Mont., F. B. Purdy, Kremlin, Mont., Mr. Emmet McKenna, Edgeley, N. D., and Frank McKenna, Sisseton, S. D. Wish that you would mail all of these parties one of the commencement programs. Most of these men enrolled in 1902. The en-rollment when I was there was less than 300. Some of these men were on The Exponent Staff when it was first published. Remember playing football and basketball at Valley City, Ellendale, Madison, S. D., Yankton, Redfield, Huron, etc. Prof. Fred Smith coached our football team and S. C. Hartranft went with us on basketball tours." MYRTLE ORTON Ideally Typical Woman MARJORY MATHIASON Pageant Queen The Student Body has honored Miss Margery Mathiason of Redfield with the role of Pageant Queen. Miss Ma-thiason is a junior here and will teach in Pheonix, Arizona, next year. Dur-ing the year she has been President of Graham Hall, a member of the W. S. G. A. Council, the Leadership Club and Y. W. C. A. She has held the po-sition of Student Assistant in the Commerce Department in addition to other duties. Miss Mathiason has a charming personality and has made many friends on the campus. LEADERSHIP-RURAL LIGHT BANQUET IS BIG EVENT T. A. HARMON IS SPEAKER Graduating Class is Presented by Dean Sipple and Received by Pres-ident Foght The Leadership-Rural Light Ban-quet deserves a place in the golden book of memory for over 250 mem-bers of the Leadership Club, faculty folk and guests, enjoyed this hnnual event, held at the Congregational church, Wednesday evening, May 18. The main address was by Superinten-dent T. A. Harmon of Watertown, who used as his topic "The Second Mile." In his talk, Mr. Harmon stressed the advantage a leader has, who is willing to do more than is expected of him. He closed with the inspira-tional thought that it was his wish that all teachers might walk the sec-ond mile and get a hold of even the third mile. Professor Harmon is to be a member on the local college fac-ulty for the coming year and was chosen as speaker of the evening be-cause of his active interest in all rural education problems. L. Yost, president of the Club, act-ed as toastmaster. Guests were seat-ed at long tables made attractive with purple and white colors, combined with silver, commemorating the quar-ter centennial celebration to be ob-served at the Northern State Teachers College in this year's Commencement activities. Contributing to the evening's enter-tainment was music by the , college trio composed of Lillian Sperry, pian-ist; Doris French, violinist; Neva Searle, flutist. Grace Ronnigen pleas-ed the audience with two clever read-ings, "Betty at the Baseball Game," and "Mabel's Wedding." This was followed by two vocal solos by Mr. E. Kenneth Baillie with Dorothy Hoo-per playing the accompaniments. A summary of the Leadership year was given by Oren Felton. The presentation of the various group teachers was a very impressive part of the evening's program, as fol-lows: Presentation of the class-L. B. Sipple. (Continued on Page 2) IDEALLY TYPICAL WOMAN To Myrtle O. Orton, Ortley, S. D., has been awarded the signal honor of being the Ideally Typical College Wo-man on the N. S. T. C. campus for this year. Miss Orton belongs to the Junior class and is truly an N. S. T. C. product, in addition to her college work she has taken her high school work in the Pre-College department. During the current year Myrtle has been a member of the Pasque Board, Head of baseball and a member of the W. A. A. Council. She is affiliat-ed with thd Leadership Club, French Club and Masquers Club, all of which consider her a most valuable member. She has proven her dramatic ability in roles in the plays "Turn to the Right" and "The Youngest" and will sing Friday night in "The Rose Maid-en." Among her other activities we appreciate Myrtle's kind attention and unfailing service in the College Book Store. Her responsibility, industry and keen sense of cooperation, to-gether with a most pleasant personal-ity have won Miss Orton many close friends. A LONG AND TWO SHORT COURSES Special Science Courses at Lake Enemy Swim for Second Six Weeks The summer session beginning June 6 will offer many important courses of study and many excellent lectures for students and teachers. The courses are planned with a view to bettering the teaching profession in the state and to improving the teachers' oppor-tunities for advancement in the pro-fession.

An unusual number of courses is offered in summer school, especially adapted to meet the needs of teachers who have finished the two-year ad-vanced normal course, and who plan to complete the four-year teachers college course. These courses are giv-en both by the school's regular in-structors and by the specialists chos-en for this particular purpose. They are intended for school administra-tors and supervisors, high school and grade teachers, and teachers of spec-ial subjects.

STUDENT BODY ELECTS NEW COUNCIL OFFICERS OTTO GRUHN IS PRESIDENT Clinton Storeim Is Vice President and Margaret Thompson Is Secretary The election of the 1927-28 Student Council was held, May 18, at the col-lege auditorium. The candidates for the offices were President, Otto Gruhn and Irving Stenson; Vice President, Clinton Storeim and Ralph Rice; Sec-retary, Margaret Thompson and Els-worth Karrigan. Votes were fairly well scattered for all candidates, however, the officers for our next year's Student Council will consist of Otto Gruhn, President; Clinton Storeim, Vice President; and Margaret Thompson, Secretary. All of the officers are Aberdeen people. The President-elect, Otto Gruhn, is a member of the Junior Class. He has spent his last three years at the N. S. T. C. and has done his utmost toward making N. S. T. C. a better college. During his three years here he has been active as President of Pi Kappa Delta, and Vice President of the Student Council. He has been active in oratory and debate, in the French, Sigma Delta Epsilon, Rhe-nania and Masquers Clubs. Kappa Delta Pi has claimed him for his ex-cellent scholarship. Otto won first place in the Peace Oratorical Contest last fall. His business ability has been proved by his good work as Bus-iness Manager of the Exponent and Chairman of Finances for Gypsy Day. We are glad to wish Otto good luck as President of the next year's Stu-dent Council. Clinton Storeim needs no introduc-tion as we all know "Clint." He has been especially active about the cam-pus in many ways and has been a big cog in N. S. T. C. athletics. Clinton is the 1927 football captain. He will be a junior next year. Clint has wait-ed on all of us in the bookstore this year and we find him a mighty plea-sant fellow. Margaret Thompson, the new Stu-dent Council Secretary will capably fill this important position. She has also been at N. S. T. C. during the past three years and has been very active in many campus activities. She is a member of the P. S. M. S. Club. She is a junior and has assisted in the Public School Music Department the last year, and has played for our con-vocation singing most effectively. The Student Council is one of the college's most important organiza-tions as it is the administrative body of the Student Government on the campus. Its duties are not to substi-tute for the government of the Pres-ident and faculty, but to supplement the President and Faculty and coop-erate in the enforcement of high stan-dards for the campus. The Council has done many constructive things in the past. With the next year's offi-cers we are assured of another year of success. 1928 ANNUAL PLEASES MANY EXPRESS APPRECIATION Regents and School Heads Praise This Year's Pasque. Nash Is Pleased With Dedication A great many letters have been re-ceived at the Publicity Office from heads of other schools, from mem-bers of the Board of Regents and from others who received complimen-tary copies of the Pasque, acknow-ledging their receipt of the 1928 annual. Without exception the let-ters are complimentary, all agreeing that this year's Pasque is indicative of the growth of the school and a credit to the student body that made it possible. That presidents of other schools are interested in our book is evident from their letters. President C. C. O'Harra of the School of Mines, Rapid City says: in writing to Dr. Foght, "A Brief examination of the book shows a wonderful amount of work and you and your staff and student body are to be congratulated on the fine dress in which it appears." Mr. C. G. Lawrence, President of Southern State Normal at Springfield believes that the current Pasque is a very fine production. He makes the following statement also: "I wish to say that I have looked through the annual with a great deal of interest and it is a production that you have reason to feel proud of." Mr. Guy H. Harvey, Yankton, a member of the Board of Regents, con-gratulates Miss Sedam, as Editor-in- Chief, and her co-workers on the beautiful book. He adds: "It is cer-tainly a credit to the institution, and shows that much time and thought has been spent in its preparation." "We want to thank you for the 1928 Pasque," writes R. W. Kraushaar, Supt. of Schools at Mobridge: "The Pasque is getting to be a better and bigger book every year." (Continued From Page 1) VEDA BARBER Most Beautiful Co-ed Miss Veda Barber of Alpena is the choice for Beauty for the year 1926- 27. This is Miss Barber’s first year on our campus and she has proven herself an interested and industrious student. She has been President of Lincoln Hall and very active in the Y. W. C. A. throughout the year. She is a member of the Leadership Club, the Treble Clef Club, College Choir and W. S. G. A. Council. MAY FESTIVAL CHORUS REVIVED IN "ROSE MAIDEN" DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN PROF. HAM IS DIRECTOR City Choirs and Choruses Will Join College Groups in Large Chorus Commencement festivities will be marked this year by a revival of the May reotival idea of former ycar,.1-- this time in the presentation of Cowen's "The Rose Maiden." The giv-ing of this cantata will be the result of much labor and effort to make the Quarter Centennial a memorable oc-casion in the annals of N. S. T. C. "The Rose Maiden" tells us in song the charming story of the Queen of the Flower Fairies who, weary of a life of unbroken calm, prays of the newly returned spring that he will be-stow upon her also the gift of love that he bestows upon man. He warns her of the risk she runs, but finally yields to her entreaties by changing her, while she sleeps, into the form of a beautiful girl. Under the name of Roseblossom, she wonders through the world to find the love that she seeks, and meets with a girl who having been betrayed and deserted by her lov-er, loses her senses and dies broken-hearted. But, undeterred from her search, Roseblossom becomes the wife of a forester, with whom she lives for a time in such perfect happiness that she cannot survive his death. The elves bewail the fate of their Queen, and curse love as fatal to peace and happiness. A large chorus of 100 voices will present "The Rose Maiden" under the direction of Prof. Ham. It will include members of nearly all the choirs of the city, the Treble Clef Club, Boys' Glee Club, College Choir, and Orpheus Club, as well as others not affiliated with these organizations. The soloists will be Miss Louise Milligan, Mrs. Blanche Webb, Mrs. Reitnauer and Miss Lillian Riedel-sopranos; Miss Grayce Lindgren and Miss Ruth Fet-row- contraltos; H. H. Hansen and Dr. M. C. Johnston-tenors; Prof. J. C. Lindberg and Al Harder-bari-tones. Miss Edna Olson and Mrs. M. C. Johnston will be the accompanists. The cantata will be presented in the auditorium, Friday evening, at 8:00 o'clock. No admission will be charged. LOCAL WRITERS HONORED Second and Third Prizes in Poetry Contest Go To Mr. Lindberg and Miss Evelyn Mara "Pasque Petals," a magazine for South Dakota poets and readers of poetry, has accomplished much for South Dakota poetry during the past year. It has featured 107 South Dakota poets and published in all 202 poems. Its poems have been quoted in Braithwaite and recognized by the "Literary Digest." According to Prof. J. C. Lindberg, one of the editors of this magazine, "Pasque Petals" has made South Dakota articulate poetically; it has made South Dakota authors acquainted with each other, and above all it has made the public acquainted with the talent within the state." Just recently the Margaret Ball Dickson Contest came to a close. The results of this contest were to deter- mine the best three poems published in "Pasque Petals" during the months (Continued on Page 2) CLASS DAY PROGRAM FEATURED BY PLAY SHAKESPEAREAN HODGE-PODGE Excellent Cast to Present Original Play; Class Memorial Will be Giv- to to School at Same Program "A Shakespearean Hodge-Podge" has been selected as the most appro- priate title for the two-act tragedy which will feature the Senior Class Day exercises, Tuesday, May 31. The play was written for the occasion by Evelyn and Mildred Mara and is be- ing staged under the direction of Clair Willson. The committee was excep- tionally fortunate in choosing the cast since they were able to secure without exception people of recognized drama- tic ability and experience. Jessie Nicol, Elsie Lowe, Clair Willson, Loyd Ripley, Milton Laing and Albert Remde, complete the cast of the play. In the prologue, which was contributed by Dean Ella Lee Moulton, are Lorraine Raugust, Myrtle Grape, Dorothy Sedam and Julia Finley. Every effort is being made to give the play a true Shakespearean setting-and atmos- phere. The class memorial, a gift to Northern State Teachers College from the Class of 1927, will be presented at the class day program, also as a part of the regular exercises. Dean Sipple of the Senior College will have charge. DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN A man used to keep his other pair of pants hanging in the wardrobe with a wire pants stretcher in each leg so they'd keep their shape? The young bloods about town wore springs under their coat collars to hold them up snugly around the neck? The girls used to "h'ist" their skirts when crossing muddy streets? The schoolboys had a combination cap-a slip-over crown of blue serge for every-day, and a white crown for Sundays? The rats used to run across the side-walk in front of the livery stable? It took seven men and a boy to get the top of a car up or down? Everybody sang "A Bicycle Built for two?" Ladies wore dress shields? A horse thief was a real menace to the community? Whiskers a la Smith Bros. were in the height of fashion? Mother used to tie an "assafidity" bag around our necks, to keep off ev- erything from croup to tramps? “White Collars” THE CLASS OF 1927 N.S.T.C. Will Graduate Its Largest Class To DATE-525 Many diplomas and certificates will be handed out at N. S. T. C. on Com- mencement morning, June 3.

STUDENT BODY ELECTS NEW COUNCIL OFFICERS OTTO GRUHN IS PRESIDENT Clinton Storeim Is Vice President and Margaret Thompson Is Secretary The election of the 1927-28 Student Council was held, May 18, at the col-lege auditorium. The candidates for the offices were President, Otto Gruhn and Irving Stenson; Vice President, Clinton Storeim and Ralph Rice; Sec-retary, Margaret Thompson and Els-worth Karrigan. Votes were fairly well scattered for all candidates, however, the officers for our next year's Student Council will consist of Otto Gruhn, President; Clinton Storeim, Vice President; and Margaret Thompson, Secretary. All of the officers are Aberdeen people. The President-elect, Otto Gruhn, is a member of the Junior Class. He has spent his last three years at the N. S. T. C. and has done his utmost toward making N. S. T. C. a better college. During his three years here he has been active as President of Pi Kappa Delta, and Vice President of the Student Council. He has been active in oratory and debate, in the French, Sigma Delta Epsilon, Rhe-nania and Masquers Clubs. Kappa Delta Pi has claimed him for his ex-cellent scholarship. Otto won first place in the Peace Oratorical Contest last fall. His business ability has been proved by his good work as Bus-iness Manager of the Exponent and Chairman of Finances for Gypsy Day. We are glad to wish Otto good luck as President of the next year's Stu-dent Council. Clinton Storeim needs no introduc-tion as we all know "Clint." He has been especially active about the cam-pus in many ways and has been a big cog in N. S. T. C. athletics. Clinton is the 1927 football captain. He will be a junior next year. Clint has wait-ed on all of us in the bookstore this year and we find him a mighty plea-sant fellow. Margaret Thompson, the new Stu-dent Council Secretary will capably fill this important position. She has also been at N. S. T. C. during the past three years and has been very active in many campus activities. She is a member of the P. S. M. S. Club. She is a junior and has assisted in the Public School Music Department the last year, and has played for our con-vocation singing most effectively. The Student Council is one of the college's most important organiza-tions as it is the administrative body of the Student Government on the campus. Its duties are not to substi-tute for the government of the Pres-ident and faculty, but to supplement the President and Faculty and coop-erate in the enforcement of high stan-dards for the campus. The Council has done many constructive things in the past. With the next year's offi-cers we are assured of another year of success. 1928 ANNUAL PLEASES MANY EXPRESS APPRECIATION Regents and School Heads Praise This Year's Pasque. Nash Is Pleased With Dedication A great many letters have been re-ceived at the Publicity Office from heads of other schools, from mem-bers of the Board of Regents and from others who received complimen-tary copies of the Pasque, acknow-ledging their receipt of the 1928 annual. Without exception the let-ters are complimentary, all agreeing that this year's Pasque is indicative of the growth of the school and a credit to the student body that made it possible. That presidents of other schools are interested in our book is evident from their letters. President C. C. O'Harra of the School of Mines, Rapid City says: in writing to Dr. Foght, "A Brief examination of the book shows a wonderful amount of work and you and your staff and student body are to be congratulated on the fine dress in which it appears." Mr. C. G. Lawrence, President of Southern State Normal at Springfield believes that the current Pasque is a very fine production. He makes the following statement also: "I wish to say that I have looked through the annual with a great deal of interest and it is a production that you have reason to feel proud of." Mr. Guy H. Harvey, Yankton, a member of the Board of Regents, con-gratulates Miss Sedam, as Editor-in- Chief, and her co-workers on the beautiful book. He adds: "It is cer-tainly a credit to the institution, and shows that much time and thought has been spent in its preparation." "We want to thank you for the 1928 Pasque," writes R. W. Kraushaar, Supt. of Schools at Mobridge: "The Pasque is getting to be a better and bigger book every year."

This is Miss Barber’s first year on our campus and she has proven herself an interested and industrious student. She has been President of Lincoln Hall and very active in the Y. W. C. A. throughout the year. She is a member of the Leadership Club, the Treble Clef Club, College Choir and W. S. G. A. Council. MAY FESTIVAL CHORUS REVIVED IN "ROSE MAIDEN" DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN PROF. HAM IS DIRECTOR City Choirs and Choruses Will Join College Groups in Large Chorus Commencement festivities will be marked this year by a revival of the May reotival idea of former ycar,.1-- this time in the presentation of Cowen's "The Rose Maiden." The giv-ing of this cantata will be the result of much labor and effort to make the Quarter Centennial a memorable oc-casion in the annals of N. S. T. C. "The Rose Maiden" tells us in song the charming story of the Queen of the Flower Fairies who, weary of a life of unbroken calm, prays of the newly returned spring that he will be-stow upon her also the gift of love that he bestows upon man. He warns her of the risk she runs, but finally yields to her entreaties by changing her, while she sleeps, into the form of a beautiful girl. Under the name of Roseblossom, she wonders through the world to find the love that she seeks, and meets with a girl who having been betrayed and deserted by her lov-er, loses her senses and dies broken-hearted. But, undeterred from her search, Roseblossom becomes the wife of a forester, with whom she lives for a time in such perfect happiness that she cannot survive his death. The elves bewail the fate of their Queen, and curse love as fatal to peace and happiness. A large chorus of 100 voices will present "The Rose Maiden" under the direction of Prof. Ham. It will include members of nearly all the choirs of the city, the Treble Clef Club, Boys' Glee Club, College Choir, and Orpheus Club, as well as others not affiliated with these organizations. The soloists will be Miss Louise Milligan, Mrs. Blanche Webb, Mrs. Reitnauer and Miss Lillian Riedel-sopranos; Miss Grayce Lindgren and Miss Ruth Fet-row- contraltos; H. H. Hansen and Dr. M. C. Johnston-tenors; Prof. J. C. Lindberg and Al Harder-bari-tones. Miss Edna Olson and Mrs. M. C. Johnston will be the accompanists. The cantata will be presented in the auditorium, Friday evening, at 8:00 o'clock. No admission will be charged. LOCAL WRITERS HONORED Second and Third Prizes in Poetry Contest Go To Mr. Lindberg and Miss Evelyn Mara "Pasque Petals," a magazine for South Dakota poets and readers of poetry, has accomplished much for South Dakota poetry during the past year. It has featured 107 South Dakota poets and published in all 202 poems. Its poems have been quoted in Braithwaite and recognized by the "Literary Digest." According to Prof. J. C. Lindberg, one of the editors of this magazine, "Pasque Petals" has made South Dakota articulate poetically; it has made South Dakota authors acquainted with each other, and above all it has made the public acquainted with the talent within the state." Just recently the Margaret Ball Dickson Contest came to a close. The results of this contest were to deter- mine the best three poems published in "Pasque Petals" during the months (Continued on Page 2) CLASS DAY PROGRAM FEATURED BY PLAY SHAKESPEAREAN HODGE-PODGE Excellent Cast to Present Original Play; Class Memorial Will be Giv- to to School at Same Program "A Shakespearean Hodge-Podge" has been selected as the most appro- priate title for the two-act tragedy which will feature the Senior Class Day exercises, Tuesday, May 31. The play was written for the occasion by Evelyn and Mildred Mara and is be- ing staged under the direction of Clair Willson. The committee was excep- tionally fortunate in choosing the cast since they were able to secure without exception people of recognized drama- tic ability and experience. Jessie Nicol, Elsie Lowe, Clair Willson, Loyd Ripley, Milton Laing and Albert Remde, complete the cast of the play. In the prologue, which was contributed by Dean Ella Lee Moulton, are Lorraine Raugust, Myrtle Grape, Dorothy Sedam and Julia Finley. Every effort is being made to give the play a true Shakespearean setting-and atmos- phere. The class memorial, a gift to Northern State Teachers College from the Class of 1927, will be presented at the class day program, also as a part of the regular exercises. Dean Sipple of the Senior College will have charge. DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN A man used to keep his other pair of pants hanging in the wardrobe with a wire pants stretcher in each leg so they'd keep their shape? The young bloods about town wore springs under their coat collars to hold them up snugly around the neck? The girls used to "h'ist" their skirts when crossing muddy streets? The schoolboys had a combination cap-a slip-over crown of blue serge for every-day, and a white crown for Sundays? The rats used to run across the side-walk in front of the livery stable? It took seven men and a boy to get the top of a car up or down? Everybody sang "A Bicycle Built for two?" Ladies wore dress shields? A horse thief was a real menace to the community? Whiskers a la Smith Bros. were in the height of fashion? Mother used to tie an "assafidity" bag around our necks, to keep off ev- erything from croup to tramps? “White Collars” THE CLASS OF 1927 N.S.T.C.
