PASQUE PICTURES DUE The Exponent PASQUE PICTURES DUE Northern State Teachers College VOL. XXVII. ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, NOVEMBER 27, 1928 No. 10 WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY THANKSGIVING VACATION TENTH LEADERSHIP PLAY "PIGS" MAKES BIG HIT MISS HAYES IS DIRECTOR Harvey Swenson and Mary Mueller Were Especially Outstanding in Character Parts The tenth annual Leadership Club play, "Pigs," given last Tuesday night, in the Auditorium, was a decided success. Excellent character portrayal was evident throughout the whole presentation and Miss Hayes, under whose direction the play was given, deserves much commendation on her selection and training of those taking part. Harvey Swenson as Tommy Atkins, Jr., and Mary Mueller as Mildred Cushing were very typical young lovers, playing their parts with ability worthy of professionals. Dorothy Dresselhuys as Ellen Atkins gave a splendid impersonation of the mother who has a deep understanding of and sympathy for her two sons and for humanity in general. Sarah Grant, who acted the part of Grandma Spencer, added much to the humor of the play by her interest in affairs of the Atkins family. Marvin Jones as Thomas Atkins, Oscar Markeseth as Hector Spencer, Owen King as Spencer Atkins, Mary Sipple as Lenore Hastings, John Schaal as Smith Hastings, and Horace Chapman as Dr. Springer all deserve praise on the excellent character delineation they presented. Just as "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" the proof of the play's success was the complimentary remarks regarding its performance, heard on the campus the day following. Everyone seemed agreed that it was the best play ever given by the Club and one of the very best ever given by N.S.T.C. talent on our campus, and each one responsible for some part of its success deserves praise for his effort. The stage setting, by the class in Applied Dramatics, under the direction of Prof. Harkness, and the music between acts, furnished by the College Orchestra under the direction of Prof. H. E. Goodsell, did much to make the evening's entertainment one to be remembered as a very enjoyable feature. Other committees in charge, assisting Miss Hayes, were: Assistant director, Daisy Eisentrager; stage manager, Russell Babcock; assistant stage manager, Ernest Berreth; business manager, Frank Kraft; property manager, Lillian Wilson; advertising manager, Douglas Chittick; make-up, class in stage make-up. The radio was procured by courtesy of the Hofer Auto Supply Company of Aberdeen. DORMITORIES ARE HOSTS Entertain Football Letter Men and Other Guests at Post-Season Banquet One of the outstanding social functions on the campus, this season, was an elaborate Thanksgiving dinner for the football letter men and other special guests, given in Lincoln dining room, Thursday evening. The long tables were beautifully decorated with yellow chrysanthemums, and red tapers, portraying the school colors. Sprays of ferns were placed for the entire length of the tables. Favors were miniature footballs used as nut cups. Place cards were pennants in maroon color with guests names in gold lettering. The lettermen and honor guests were Perry Doney, Irl Oakes, Virgil Bell, James Sipes, Paul Finnegan, Malcolm McDowell, Duane Murner, Donald Walker, Roy Davidson, Francis Clarke, LaVerne Frink, Kenneth Crawford, Rodell Severson, Emil Staebner, Richard Solberg, Leo Phalen, Bertha Oster, Catherine Cobb, Alf Lundly and Seymour Houge.

But in our mirth, forget not to the Lord To render thanks for gifts by him increased; To honor with our substance Him who gave Us life, and fills "the earth with flour of wheat," Sends light and darkness, dew and rain to lave The soil to fruitfulness that we may eat. We give Thee thanks for many blessings shared; For happiness, for friendship flowering free; For many pitfalls through Thy mercy spared; For joy in being co-workers with Thee. We thank thee for the land in which we live Where golden sunshine brings us healthful days; For home, rest, peace, our thanks we humbly give And first-fruits gladly offer to Thy praise. The autumn's glory and the spring's return; Our pleasure in hill, flower and wooded stream; Thy hand in all of nature we discern; But moAt we thank Thee for Thy Gift Supreme. The labors of the husbandman are blest; The barns are filled with store of golden grain; Great Giver of all Gifts, be Thou our guest; With Thine eternal Bread our souls sustain. -Dora Claire Vannix, Sioux Falls. (From Pasque Petals) SONG CONTEST SPONSORED BY STUDENT COUNCIL WINNER WILL RECEIVE S25 Prize Has Been Contributed by Alumni and Campus Organizations Northern State Teachers College needs a school song. A contest is being sponsored by the Student Council to give us a song that is entirely original. Twenty-five dollars were contributed last year by the alumni and various campus organizations to be used as a prize. The Song Committee of the Council is composed of Elvera Kundert, Lisle Reese and Dorothy Frazier. The song is to be an Alma Mater song. Every school needs a good song-one that thrills you when you hear it sung, and in after years will remind you of N.S.T.C. This is not to be a pep song but one of dignity that will be equally appropriate at commencement, a football game, a wedding or a funeral. The song should be one that will become a part of our institution and that will last for many years. The author may be anyone who has the good of the school at heart-a student, member of the faculty, or. alumnus. 1. The song should be of a type of composition that our school can adopt it as our Alma Mater song. 2. Both words and music must be 3. The length of the song must not exceed two stanzas. 4. Any present or former student is eligible; any present or former teacher is eligible. 5. Two or more people may unite in producing this song if they so desire. 6. The contest closes on January 7, 1929. All songs must be turned in before or on that day. 7. The songs must be handed in to the president of the Student Council, Ralph Rice, or to the chairman of the song committee, Elvera Kundert. 8. The method of judging this contest will be: elimination of all but three songs by Mr. Pfitzner, Mr. Lukken, Ralph Rice and Elvera Kundert; the presentation of these songs before the student body; the students vote by ballot for the song of their choice. 9. A prize of $25 awarded by the Student Council will be given to the winner. The song will also be published in the Exponent and the 1930 Pasque. 10. The authors of these songs should not reveal their identity until after the selection of the song has been made by the students. ECLIPSE OF THE MOON Porf. Mewaldt Gives Scientific Facts Concerning This Interesting Phenomenon At an early hour this morning the moon was totally eclipsed. The eclipse was caused by the fact that the moon receives all its light from the sun, and at the time of the eclipse, the earth was in a straight line between the sun and moon. Thus the earth acted as a screen causing the moon to darken. There is a cone of darkness on the side of the earth that is away from the sun. This cone of darkness is called the umbra. It happens, once in a while, that the moon passes through this umbra and then the moon is darkened. This never occurs, at any time, except when the moon is a full moon. The moon began to enter the earth's umbra at 1:24 A.M. this morning. The left part of the moon entered the umbra first, thus the left part was darkened first. By the left part is meant the part to our left. By 2:33 A.M. the entire moon was in the earth's umbra and the eclipse was total. At 3:01 A.M., the moon was in the center of the umbra and at its darkest point. If it were not for the fact that the earth's atmosphere refracts sunlight and throws it in the direction of the moon, the moon would be entirely dark. By 3:29 A.M., the left part of the moon began to emerge from the umbra, and by 4:39 A.M. the last of the moon left the umbra, and again we had a bright, full moon. Surrounding the umbra is a small region partially darkened by the shadow of the earth, called the penumbra; hence just before the eclipse began and at the end of the eclipse, the moon was partly in the penumbra and thus did not have its complete luster until about one hour later. This year there were two total eclipses of the moon. The other one, on June 3, was not visible as a total eclipse here. Some years there are no total eclipses of the moon, and there are never more than three total eclipses in a year. These are nest. all visible from the same place when they do occur; hence it is comparatively a rare thing to be able to see a total eclipse of the moon. The eclipses of the sun occur somewhat oftener than the eclipses of the moon; but when they do occur they can be seen only from a very small portion of the earth, and it is exceedingly seldom that a total eclipse of the sun can be seen from here, in fact only once in several centuries. There was a total eclipse of the sun this year, May 19, visible only in the extreme southern latitudes. The eclipse of the sun is caused by the moon getting between the earth and the sun, and thus hiding from view the sun for parts of the earth. OTTO GRUHN IN "U" DEBATE Otto Gruhn, former Aberdeen high school and N.S.T.C. student, has been chosen for the University of South Dakota debate team. Mr. Gruhn is one of the 12 candidates chosen for the varsity squad after several tryouts conducted by J. H. McBurney, coach of debating at the "U." Mr. Gruhn was active in debate at N.S. T.C., representing us in several intercollegiate debates as well as in regional and national Pi Kappa Delta conventions. He is considered one of the best debaters we have ever turned out. JOINT MUSIC RECITAL An excellent musical recital was given in the college auditorium, Thursday evening, by students of Prof. Lukken, Prof. Pfitzner and Prof. Goodsell. It was well attended and highly appreciated by those present. To add to the program the stage was prettily set with floor lamps on either side and vases of fall flowers. All numbers of the program showed excellent training. Fine tone and excellent expression were portrayed in the well arranged program. Those taking part in the program were Patricia Fitzpatrick, Susanna Pfitzner, Harriet Premack, Margaret Russell, Helen Mitchell, Monemia Evans, Mary Richards, Mollie Ripple, Louise Milligan, Johanna Elsing, Martha Folley and John Elsing. Accompanists were Misses Martha Folley and Viola Boekelheide. Due to conflicts Mr. Leon Everson and Maurice Dobbins failed to appear. FACULTY WIVES MEET The Faculty Wives Club met last week at the home of Mrs. Henry Onsgard, who was assisted with the entertaining by Mrs. L. B. Sipple. Mrs. S. H. Collins in her talk to the women brought out incidents of her last year's trip to Europe. Mrs. I. D. Weeks presented two pleasing vocal selections. Mrs. E. Kenneth Baillie was presented with a collection of gifts by the club members. Mrs. T. A. Harmon and Mrs. A. N. Wray presided at the serving table. Mrs. J. C. Lindberg and Mrs. Walther Pfitzner will entertain the club at its December meeting. We get lots of our ideas about government from comic operas, and then take ourselves as seriously as Sitting Bull.-A. Edward Newton. DEBATE AND ORATORY WILL STAGE BIG PROGRAM 17 GIRLS OUT FOR DEBATE Contests Are Planned With Sioux Falls College and Gustavus Adolphus The first home debate will be with Sioux Falls College toward the latter part of February. Gustavus Adolphus also will come to northern this year to debate. Seventeen girls have reported for work in intercollegiate debate up to date. They are Elsie Birkholt, Mary Frances Sanders, Rose Frothinger, Avis Felton, Ora Barnes, and Jean DeHaven, who are already Pi Kappa Delta members, and Inez Taylor, Rose Ramthun, Thelma Milnor, Anna Madden, Marion Stiteler, Ethel Dunlap, Elvera Kundert, Elna Wiand, Anna Bell Mowry, Florence Mohn and Mary Fox. Boys who have reported for debate are Ralph Rice and Oren Felton, Pi Kappa Delta members, and Louis Anderson, John Schaal, Harvey Swenson, Otto Schoenfelder, Clarence Dunker, Arthur Birkland and Horace Jackson. The Lincoln Oratorical Contest will be held during the week of December 12 to 18. A definite date will be decided upon later. Eight orators compete in this contest. They are Ralph Rice, Louis Anderson, Douglas Chittick. Oren Felton, Jean DeHaven, Elna Wiand, Ruby Buenning, and Rose Frothinger. The winner of this contest will represent Northern in the State contest at Sioux Falls, February 17. Requests are coming in for the use of Mildred Anderson's oration, "Our Nation's Nemesis." The oration is being used in high school contests. Two requests have come from Iowa high schools. CULP GIVES ASSEMBLY TALK South Dakota Has Unusual Possobilities and Abundant Natural R-sources To Be Developed Prof. Culp gave a fine address on South Dakota in assembly, last Thursday, that inspired a pride for our state. All South Dakotans have faith in their state, and newcomers soon become enthusiastic with its wonders. These wonders and possibilities have not been exaggerated. South Dakota is an inland empire, as large as Indiana and Ohio together. One of the largest rivers of the world flows through the state. When the transportation opportunities of the Missouri River are developed, we shall have access to the ocean, by way of the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico, and by way of the Great Lakes to the Atlantic. In half a century South Dakota has grown from an Indian hunting ground with a population of 2000 to one of the leading agricultural states of the union with 700,000 inhabitants. Even at the present time South Dakota has a small population; with the development of the natural resources there is room for a million people. There is a great deal of mineral wealth in South Dakota, so there is unlimited industrial possibilities. What is said to be the richest 100 miles square in the world is the Black Hills region. There is an abundance of coal in the West River Country. In five places the Missouri River may be dammed and more power developed than is possible in many of the European countries. From the early history of our state, South Dakota has had an interest in education. There are more educational institutions and public schools in South Dakota, per capita, than in any other state of the union. ANNUAL Y. M. BANQUET Now that the football season at the Teachers College is over interest among players, students and city football fans turns to the big football banquet which will celebrate the sensational comeback which the team made as the schedule was ended. The record which was made by the players of Coach Mead, and his assistant, Bob Campbell, not only changed the whole aspect of the sport at the college for this year, but makes a remarkable promise for next year. To celebrate all this, the football team will be feted at a banquet which is to be held in the cafeteria, Friday, December 14, at 6:30, when students and city fans will testify to their interest and confidence in the team. There will be a dinner to be followed by short toasts, and the announcement of the new captain, after which the guests will all join in a dance in the gymnasium. Alfred Kugler, center last year, is general chairman of the committee on arrangements, and the entire affair is sponsored by the campus Y.M.C.A. group.

But in our mirth, forget not to the Lord To render thanks for gifts by him increased; To honor with our substance Him who gave Us life, and fills "the earth with flour of wheat," Sends light and darkness, dew and rain to lave The soil to fruitfulness that we may eat. We give Thee thanks for many blessings shared; For happiness, for friendship flowering free; For many pitfalls through Thy mercy spared; For joy in being co-workers with Thee. We thank thee for the land in which we live Where golden sunshine brings us healthful days; For home, rest, peace, our thanks we humbly give And first-fruits gladly offer to Thy praise. The autumn's glory and the spring's return; Our pleasure in hill, flower and wooded stream; Thy hand in all of nature we discern; But moAt we thank Thee for Thy Gift Supreme. The labors of the husbandman are blest; The barns are filled with store of golden grain; Great Giver of all Gifts, be Thou our guest; With Thine eternal Bread our souls sustain. -Dora Claire Vannix, Sioux Falls. (From Pasque Petals) SONG CONTEST SPONSORED BY STUDENT COUNCIL WINNER WILL RECEIVE S25 Prize Has Been Contributed by Alumni and Campus Organizations Northern State Teachers College needs a school song. A contest is being sponsored by the Student Council to give us a song that is entirely original. Twenty-five dollars were contributed last year by the alumni and various campus organizations to be used as a prize. The Song Committee of the Council is composed of Elvera Kundert, Lisle Reese and Dorothy Frazier. The song is to be an Alma Mater song. Every school needs a good song-one that thrills you when you hear it sung, and in after years will remind you of N.S.T.C. This is not to be a pep song but one of dignity that will be equally appropriate at commencement, a football game, a wedding or a funeral. The song should be one that will become a part of our institution and that will last for many years. The author may be anyone who has the good of the school at heart-a student, member of the faculty, or. alumnus. 1. The song should be of a type of composition that our school can adopt it as our Alma Mater song. 2. Both words and music must be 3. The length of the song must not exceed two stanzas. 4. Any present or former student is eligible; any present or former teacher is eligible. 5. Two or more people may unite in producing this song if they so desire. 6. The contest closes on January 7, 1929. All songs must be turned in before or on that day. 7. The songs must be handed in to the president of the Student Council, Ralph Rice, or to the chairman of the song committee, Elvera Kundert. 8. The method of judging this contest will be: elimination of all but three songs by Mr. Pfitzner, Mr. Lukken, Ralph Rice and Elvera Kundert; the presentation of these songs before the student body; the students vote by ballot for the song of their choice. 9. A prize of $25 awarded by the Student Council will be given to the winner. The song will also be published in the Exponent and the 1930 Pasque. 10. The authors of these songs should not reveal their identity until after the selection of the song has been made by the students. ECLIPSE OF THE MOON Porf. Mewaldt Gives Scientific Facts Concerning This Interesting Phenomenon At an early hour this morning the moon was totally eclipsed. The eclipse was caused by the fact that the moon receives all its light from the sun, and at the time of the eclipse, the earth was in a straight line between the sun and moon. Thus the earth acted as a screen causing the moon to darken. There is a cone of darkness on the side of the earth that is away from the sun. This cone of darkness is called the umbra. It happens, once in a while, that the moon passes through this umbra and then the moon is darkened. This never occurs, at any time, except when the moon is a full moon. The moon began to enter the earth's umbra at 1:24 A.M. this morning. The left part of the moon entered the umbra first, thus the left part was darkened first. By the left part is meant the part to our left. By 2:33 A.M. the entire moon was in the earth's umbra and the eclipse was total. At 3:01 A.M., the moon was in the center of the umbra and at its darkest point. If it were not for the fact that the earth's atmosphere refracts sunlight and throws it in the direction of the moon, the moon would be entirely dark. By 3:29 A.M., the left part of the moon began to emerge from the umbra, and by 4:39 A.M. the last of the moon left the umbra, and again we had a bright, full moon. Surrounding the umbra is a small region partially darkened by the shadow of the earth, called the penumbra; hence just before the eclipse began and at the end of the eclipse, the moon was partly in the penumbra and thus did not have its complete luster until about one hour later. This year there were two total eclipses of the moon. The other one, on June 3, was not visible as a total eclipse here. Some years there are no total eclipses of the moon, and there are never more than three total eclipses in a year. These are nest. all visible from the same place when they do occur; hence it is comparatively a rare thing to be able to see a total eclipse of the moon. The eclipses of the sun occur somewhat oftener than the eclipses of the moon; but when they do occur they can be seen only from a very small portion of the earth, and it is exceedingly seldom that a total eclipse of the sun can be seen from here, in fact only once in several centuries. There was a total eclipse of the sun this year, May 19, visible only in the extreme southern latitudes. The eclipse of the sun is caused by the moon getting between the earth and the sun, and thus hiding from view the sun for parts of the earth. OTTO GRUHN IN "U" DEBATE Otto Gruhn, former Aberdeen high school and N.S.T.C. student, has been chosen for the University of South Dakota debate team. Mr. Gruhn is one of the 12 candidates chosen for the varsity squad after several tryouts conducted by J. H. McBurney, coach of debating at the "U." Mr. Gruhn was active in debate at N.S. T.C., representing us in several intercollegiate debates as well as in regional and national Pi Kappa Delta conventions. He is considered one of the best debaters we have ever turned out. JOINT MUSIC RECITAL An excellent musical recital was given in the college auditorium, Thursday evening, by students of Prof. Lukken, Prof. Pfitzner and Prof. Goodsell. It was well attended and highly appreciated by those present. To add to the program the stage was prettily set with floor lamps on either side and vases of fall flowers. All numbers of the program showed excellent training. Fine tone and excellent expression were portrayed in the well arranged program. Those taking part in the program were Patricia Fitzpatrick, Susanna Pfitzner, Harriet Premack, Margaret Russell, Helen Mitchell, Monemia Evans, Mary Richards, Mollie Ripple, Louise Milligan, Johanna Elsing, Martha Folley and John Elsing. Accompanists were Misses Martha Folley and Viola Boekelheide. Due to conflicts Mr. Leon Everson and Maurice Dobbins failed to appear. FACULTY WIVES MEET The Faculty Wives Club met last week at the home of Mrs. Henry Onsgard, who was assisted with the entertaining by Mrs. L. B. Sipple. Mrs. S. H. Collins in her talk to the women brought out incidents of her last year's trip to Europe. Mrs. I. D. Weeks presented two pleasing vocal selections. Mrs. E. Kenneth Baillie was presented with a collection of gifts by the club members. Mrs. T. A. Harmon and Mrs. A. N. Wray presided at the serving table. Mrs. J. C. Lindberg and Mrs. Walther Pfitzner will entertain the club at its December meeting. We get lots of our ideas about government from comic operas, and then take ourselves as seriously as Sitting Bull.-A. Edward Newton.

CULP GIVES ASSEMBLY TALK South Dakota Has Unusual Possobilities and Abundant Natural R-sources To Be Developed Prof. Culp gave a fine address on South Dakota in assembly, last Thursday, that inspired a pride for our state. All South Dakotans have faith in their state, and newcomers soon become enthusiastic with its wonders. These wonders and possibilities have not been exaggerated. South Dakota is an inland empire, as large as Indiana and Ohio together. One of the largest rivers of the world flows through the state. When the transportation opportunities of the Missouri River are developed, we shall have access to the ocean, by way of the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico, and by way of the Great Lakes to the Atlantic. In half a century South Dakota has grown from an Indian hunting ground with a population of 2000 to one of the leading agricultural states of the union with 700,000 inhabitants. Even at the present time South Dakota has a small population; with the development of the natural resources there is room for a million people. There is a great deal of mineral wealth in South Dakota, so there is unlimited industrial possibilities. What is said to be the richest 100 miles square in the world is the Black Hills region. There is an abundance of coal in the West River Country. In five places the Missouri River may be dammed and more power developed than is possible in many of the European countries. From the early history of our state, South Dakota has had an interest in education. There are more educational institutions and public schools in South Dakota, per capita, than in any other state of the union. ANNUAL Y. M. BANQUET Now that the football season at the Teachers College is over interest among players, students and city football fans turns to the big football banquet which will celebrate the sensational comeback which the team made as the schedule was ended. The record which was made by the players of Coach Mead, and his assistant, Bob Campbell, not only changed the whole aspect of the sport at the college for this year, but makes a remarkable promise for next year. To celebrate all this, the football team will be feted at a banquet which is to be held in the cafeteria, Friday, December 14, at 6:30, when students and city fans will testify to their interest and confidence in the team. There will be a dinner to be followed by short toasts, and the announcement of the new captain, after which the guests will all join in a dance in the gymnasium. Alfred Kugler, center last year, is general chairman of the committee on arrangements, and the entire affair is sponsored by the campus Y.M.C.A. group.
