SCALP SOUTHERN The Exponent SCALP SOUTHERN Northern State Teachers College VOL. XXVIII. ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, OCTOBER 10, 1929 No. 3 SCALP SOUTHERN-WE ARE WITH YOU, WOLVES ELVERA KUNDERT IS QUEEN; HAROLD BLACK IS MARSHAL WOLVES SCORE HEAVILY AGAINST VALLEY CITY SCORE IS 45 TO 0 Several Scores Due to Johnson's Spectacular Blocking of Punts A powerful, fighting team of Maroon and Gold gridmen met the football artists from Valley City Normal, Friday afternoon and easily disposed of the North Dakota team 45 to 0. The game was played on Johnson Field. The visitors were clearly outplayed by the Wolves from the opening kick-off until the final whistle ended the fray late in the afternoon. The Campbellites gained more than twice the ground in scrimmage that the Monisonmen were able to make and showed more power and drive at all times. Penalties were many throughout the course of the game. Northern suffered the most from these, losing 95 yards in the first half of the contest and like a number in the last frame. The Valley City lads were called from only 104 yards throughout the entire game. Northern's ability to block punts paved the way for three of the touchdowns scored in the first half, Johnson, giant tackle, stopping the ball in all three instances. The first counter came after Johnson had knocked the ball down inside the ten-yard line. A series of line smashes and excursions around the end placed the pig skin across the chalk line. The quarter ended with the score 6 to 0. Two more punts were blocked withing the ten yard line in the second quarter. One of these Doney scooped up and took across, the other taken over by straight football, made the score 20 to 0. The fourth touchdown came on line smashes and long excursions around the Valley City ends. The North Dakotans came back in the second half stronger than before, however, and opened up an aerial attack that carried them deep into Wolf territory. Here costly penalties and incompleted passes kept them far enough from the goal line to prevent scoring. In their frantic efforts to reach the goal line, the Valley City team also failed to reckon with their opponents' possibility of adding more counters to the score with the result that three more times the ball was placed over the North Dakota goal line. Coach Campbell substituted freely during the progress of the entire game, the second and third string men holding the visitors' attack at bay the greater share of the contest. One serious accident resulted during the game. Glen Wright, alias Shorty, suffered a broken collar-bone after reeling off the longest run Of the tilt, a forty-yard gallop on an intercepted pass. The starting line-up for the two teams were: Valley City Position Northern Thacher L. E. Holland Conrad L. T. Johnson Southal L. G. Sipes Olson C. Bell Hill R. G. Mattice Peterson R. T. Werth McCrady R. E. Doney Eckel Q. B. Marquis Erickson R. H. Nichols Seymour L. H. Dresselhuys B. McCrady F. B. Cap. Finnegan TOSTELEBE GETS DEGREE The following important communication was recently received by Prof. M. F. Tostelebe from the Registrar of Columbia University. Congratulations, Mr. Tostelebe. "It gives me pleasure to write you that your requirement for the degree of Master of Arts has now been satisfied. This degree will be officially granted by Columbia University the middle of December. A formal notification that you are graduated will then be sent you." Scalp Southern MISS HILT The part of Tryphena is taken by Lillian F. Hilt. Tryphena is queen of her gypsy tribe, and is a regular boss at that. She is an embittered old woman, who sees good in no one and does good for no one. HAROLD BLACK, Marshal TAKEN FROM "THE FORENSIC" "Professor P. J. Harkness of the Northern State Teachers College of South Dakota, who for the past three years has consistently turned out winners in the state oratorical titles for that institution, has an interesting article in the April issue of the 'Quarterly Journal of Speech, Education'. The Journal is published by the National Association of Teachers of Speech, and deals with the main phases of speech education. This month it emphasizes the needs, objectives and methods peculiar to Teachers Colleges and the article by Mr. Harkness is a discussion of the General Organization and Nomenclature. He stressed the *general need of a separate department of speech aside from English, and a unit of purpose with proportionate stress on the various phases of work in this new department." SPEAKING OF ROYALTY Upon the golden roster of queens whose lovely sway 'reigns over the campus each recurring Gypsy Day a new name has been written and Miss Elvera Kundert of Bowdle will replace the former sovereign, Miss Rose Frothinger of Watertown. Lois Blethen, a senior is in charge of preparations for the coronation which will be the first feature on the homecoming program the morning of October 19. With all due pomp and splendor the former queen of loyal Romany subjects will descend from her stately position and place the crown upon the brow of her successor. The coronation will be held in the auditorium and a special Spanish Gypsy setting will be provided. Frank Kraft, last year's Marshal of the day will also be present and add to the glamor of the romantic occasion. Harold Black, this year's choice for Marshal will aid the new queen to assume her position in a manner best befitting royal blood. ALL ARE GETTING READY Preparations for the annual Gypsy Day, October 19, are more extensive than ever before. The parade will traverse the down town region in order that good will and fellowship may be demonstrated by the visiting tribesmen. The general public is invited to enjoy the afternoon game. At this time the mighty warriors of the Gypsy clan will combat a powerful foe, the St. Thomas gridmen, as tough an aggregation as the Twin Cities have produced in many a year, outside of the University. The tribal dance in the evening will be for Gypsies only. As soon as the Queen is crowned she will give the new password for the loyal subjects. Numerous valuable prizes will be given for floats and costumes. Special attention and special service has been promised to all visiting Gypsies by the merchants and business men of Aberdeen. LINCOLN HALL OFFICERS The following house officers have been chosen for the year for Lincoln Hall: president, Helen E. Malloy; secretary-treasurer, Editha Miller; W. S. G. A. representatives for the first floor, Florence Tracy; for the second floor, Marion Kraft and Evelyn Jackson; for the third floor, Marian Fix and Evelyn Thoreson. Jurymen in Lincoln Hall are Inez Sheldon on the third floor. Proctors are Alma Alice Peterson on the second floor; and Edith Keck and Daisy Moorhead onthe third floor. Proctors are Alma Lange, first floor; Elvera Kundert and Margaret Wilhelm, second floor; and Frances Pettyjohn and Loretta Dinges, third floor. SECONDARY EDUCATION CLUB The Secondary Education Club has made definite plans regarding the Gypsy Day float. It is to be entered in the "most representative" class. Program and float committees have been appointed as follows: program- Mildred Klinger, Helen Giesen, and Una Grebner; float-Barbara Ander-son, Carol Jean Wilson, Vesta Stark, Emil Olin, Chester Buenning and Ida Berry. All interested in junior high school work are urged to join the club. Information regarding the work of the club may be secured from officers or members. ORATOR HONORED One of our orator's has gained nation-al recognition by having his picture published in the "Forensic". We congratulate Louis Andersbn who won first place in men's oratory in the Provincial meet last year, ELECTION IS HOTLY CONTESTED Winner For Important Offices Are Both Popular Students and Good Mixers in Campus Activities The Gayest Gypsy Queen for the "Gayest Gypsy Gathering" was chosen last Thursday morning by popular vote of the entire student body. Miss Elvera Kundert is the lucky lady and will have for her marshal, Mr. Harold Black. Miss Kundert hails from Bowdle, where she graduated from high school in 1927. During her two years on the campus, she has become very popular because of her loyalty to the school and its traditions. Her popularity is evidenced by the fact that she leads the W. S. G. A. as president, the largest organization at the college. Mr. Black is a student from Big Stone City, from which high school he graduated in 1922, following his education with a year here, a year at the University of Minnesota, and the rest of the time up to the present at N. S. T. C. He is without a doubt one of the most popular and best known young men in the local institution. Last year he was business manager for the Pasque. Besides holding the presidency of the Masquers Club he is out for football and gives every one of the school's activities his whole-hearted support. Both elections were very close. Other candidates for queen were Rose Ramthun, Lois Blethen and Hazel Duncan. Only two men were nominated for Marshal, the winner and Francis Clark. Greetings To Former Gypsies! Early October, azure mists, golden glow, blue smoke, ruddy rays -all signs of fall, and, of course fall always brings Gypsy Day! Is it something in gypsy blood or is it something in the invigorating air, that whispers to us, "Gypsy Day is near. It's time to go home again." And again we dream. Gypsies dressed in all the radiance of the autumn landscape: orange, red, and green gowns; gay fringed sashes; scarlet silk kerchiefs over glistening black hair; bright jewels and gleaming teeth! Camp fires, rustling leaves, winding roads, gay caravans. But most of all the laughter, greetings, visiting, fun, and feasting. Feats of strength, dance, melodies, lilting songs, mysterious dramas form part of the memories of past days. There's something cosmic in it all. But it's time for action, not dreams. Pack up the old covered wagon, gather the family together, and head the mules due north (or south, or east, or west). It's time to start if you really want to be in for the gay reunion of Gypsies on October 19. Early in the morning we want all to sign the clan roll in the alumni room. And then a new Queen will be crowned-another royally beautiful, gracious Queen to rule us! Then everyone joins the caravan for the annual pageant procession. A great game at 2:00 P. M., the Gypsies vs St. Thomas College. Then the long feast hours, the evening ceremony, the play, the thrum of dance music. Remember the great truth that (every Gypsy knows-that nothing matters so much to human beings as other human beings, sweethearts, and friends. Let's all be home on October 19. Beryl DeHaven, President Alumni Association. MISS HANSEN The part of Morella O’Neil, daughter of Rodney, is taken by Louise E. Hansen. In the first place, despite her name, she’s a gypsy and besides that, obviously she’s Irish. Nothing more need be said concerning her part. Come and see for yourselves. MR. BAILLIE E. Kenneth Baillie takes the part of Corroll Lankford, an artist and son of wealthy parents. Carroll by chance meets Morella, the beautiful gypsy maiden, and for both, it is love at first sight. Come and see how Carroll meets this comely gypsy maiden. Freshman Contest Today Four Big Athletic Events Will Decide the Relative Prowess of the Freshmen and Upperclassmen In order not to interfere with the local high school pageant day, Freshmen Contest Day has been moved up to Thursday, October 10, instead of Friday, October 11. The tennis game will be played Wednesday, at 3:15 with three singles and two doubles matches. Mr. Laird is in general charge with Professor Lipscomb as the judge. The general contest will begin at 2:30 p. m. on Thursday with the football game between the Freshmen and Upperclassmen with Howard Torgerson in charge. The kittenball game for the Freshmen and Upperclassmen girls will follow immediately. Eddie Dresselhuys will be in charge. The tug-of-war is perhaps the most exciting event of the entire contest. There will be 15 men on each side. William Lawrence is in general charge. In order to avoid the tie embarrassment as happened last year the committee has decided that in case of a tie, in any event, the Upperclassmen will be considered as victorious. FRENCH-SPANISH CLUB MEETS The French and Spanish Club was organized last week when the following officers were elected: President, Darrell Mitchell; vice-president, Helen Kelly; Secretary-treasurer, Grace Moe. French and Spanish luncheons are held every week at the noon hour in the Dutch Coffee Shop. The French table meets on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, and the Spanish table meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays. These meetings give the students a fine opportunity to increase their vocabularies, for the French and Spanish languages are used as much as possible. All students who have studied French or Spanish are eligible and invited to join the Club. PHYS. ED. NOTES All classes of soccer and hockey are now going in full swing. Due to the large number of girls in the classes it is necessary to divide into squads. These squads have each elected a leader who will act as captain until other plans are made. We are assured of some good games this season because of the ability and interest the girls are showing at their work. If you are interested in W. A. A., you may get all the information you wish to have from any of the physical education instructors, by calling at their office. This is a fine opportunity for the freshmen girls to show some of the ability they displayed during Freshmen Week. ELVERA KUNDERT, Queen ESKELSON ON COUNCIL With the resignation of R. W. Kraushaar from the S. D. E. A. Council, because of his transfer to the State Department, President C. G. Lawrence has appointed Supt. C. L. Eskelson of McIntosh to fill the vacancy. Mr. Eskelson is entering upon his eleventh year as superintendent at McIntosh. Prior to this he was superintendent at McLaughlin from 1914 to 1918. During the World War he served at Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Ky., and was commissioned a first lieutenant in field artillery. He now holds a captain's commission in the field artillery officers' reserve. Mr. Eskelson is a graduate from the advanced normal course at N. N. & I. S., 1914, and received his B. A. degree from the same institution in 1922. He has attended four summer sessions at the University of Wisconsin. TO STANDARDIZE PURCHASES W. M. Oates returned to Aberdeen the latter part of last week from a very interesting and important meeting in Pierre, with a committee designed to standardize state purchases. Appointed by John P. Beign, state secretary of finance, in accordance with the law passed by the 1927 legislature, the committee met to draw up technical specifications for the state purchasing department. Through this plan, state institutions will be enabled to purchase all required supplies jointly and on a standard basis. D. W. Forbes, secretary of the committee, pointed out that one of the hopes of the committee was to reduce costs by standardized purchasing and not by substituting inferior goods, and in this way gain the same products for the school at a saving of thousands of dollars to the taxpayer. The committee consisted of three members from educational institutions three from penal institutions and three members from the state ofifces. FROM GRAND DUKE ALEXANDER The following letter was received by Harold Fowler, Gypsy Day Business Manager. The letter shows how far gypsy news travels within the clan. “Pleven, Bulgaria “September 7, 1929 "In 'Gypsy News' I have read of your glories Gypsy Day at the college in Aberdin. Its elephant, that such a celebration is held. It says that gypsies are welcomed in the stores and that the Mayor himself adopts Gypsy fashuns. I find that at night there be a grand swing around. I like it, and by the time you read this, I'll be well out at see, bownd for the world's greatest gypsy celebration. Queens come and go but the Duke of the Gypsies changes not. I will represent your relations akros the great water. There is going to be much great fun Oct. 19, and I hope to meat you. May be brave wolves win. with fraternity, Grand Duke Alexander. Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Garvin entertained the Y. W. C. A. girls of the college, Sunday afternoon, with an interesting lecture concerning her trip to Mexico, last summer. She described very clearly the romantic old country nestling around the Gulf of Mexico. She told of the careful, elegant manners of the higher class of Mexican people and described some of the deplorable conditions of the poorer peon. The latter, according to the speaker, are a class of people, mostly illiterate and dependent on others for food and shelter. Contrasted with the plantation owners and rulers of the country they form a very miserable lot. "The number of very fine churches is exceptionally noticeable. Nearly every plantation owner has his own worshipping edifice and seems to take a pride in out-doing his neighbors in this respect." Some very interesting souvenirs of the trip were also shown to the assemblage of girls. A second number on the afternoon's program was a saxophone and cornet solo by Selma Herr and Bernice Anderson. THANKS By this note I wish to thank my loyal friends for their support in the recent campaign and the student body for the honor they have conferred upon me. -Harold Black. “GYPSY FIRES” IS TRUE TO LOCAL GYPSY IDEALS DIRECTED BY PROF. PENCE All-Star Faculty Cast Will Entertain Romanies in Real Play "Gypsy Fires", a melodrama in three acts by Allan Davis will be presented by a cast chosen from the faculty as a big feature of the "Gayest Gypsy Day", entertainment. The director, Mr. Paul Pence, spent much time and effort this past summer in selecting a play that would be suitable for presentation for such a gala day. "Gypsy Fires" is said to be an artistic portrayal of gypsy life, not as we usually think of gypsies with their thieving and begging, but from the standpoint of their sorrows and happinesses. It is a very picturesque and interesting representation of our local gypsy types. One could almost believe that it had been written solely for our Gayest Gypsy Gathering, so true is it to many of our Gypsy Day ideals. It has excellent opportunities for a fine dramatic production, and we are assured of a worthwhile evening's entertainment. Let's all show our appreciation for the time and effort it has taken the coach and his cast to work up this production by coming out for the best evening's entertainment ever. YOUNG VIOLINISTS PLAY Students and faculty of N. S. T. C. were joyfully entertained at Assembly, Tuesday morning by Leon Everson and Maurice Dobbins, violinists, and pupils of Prof. Goodsell, and Helen Dobbins, pianist, as accompanist. Mr. Everson played the "Concerto in A Minor" by Accolay, and Maurice played "Der Sohn der Haide", by Kaler-Bela. To climax the program the three young folks played a trio: "First Spanish Dance", a composition by Prof. Goodsell. The entire program was of a very high class and excellently done. VISITOR IS PLEASED Superintendent of Schools Omsted, head of the educational work in Lamaur county, North Dakota, recently visited a few of the rural demonstration schools held in connection with the work at the college, and made some very fine comments on what is being accomplished in this department. The demonstration of the possibilities of the one-teacher school met with Mr. Omsted's approval and he expressed the desire to have some of our top-notch graduates in his county to carry on a similar program next year. The teachers in charge of the rural demonstration teaching, carried on daily, are Prof. Vermon Culp, Prof. M. M. Guhin, Miss Margaret Briscoe, Prof. M. F. Tostelebe and Dr. T. A. Harmon. A total of 477 pupils are attending the demonstration schools which include only the eight elementary grades. Thirteen schools make up the list of schools as follows: Banner, Bath, Brookside, Campus, Grote, Plainview, Riverside, Sunshine, Trail, Westport, Wright, Warner and Lyford schools. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE The Assembly period on Monday and Wednesday will hereafter be used by the Glee Clubs and Chorus for rehearsal. Other organizations may hold meetings at these periods if they wish, provided the meetings do not interfere in any way with the work of the Glee Clubs and Chorus. In a similar way the Assembly period on Friday will be kept open for meetings of class groups and other organizations. If Glee Club or Chorus rehearsals are scheduled for Friday, members will be excused to attend any other meeting which may be scheduled for that time. When it is necessary to schedule a General Assembly on one of these days, it will take precedence over any other meeting. MR. HARKNESS Rodney O’Neil, a derelict who has crossed the line between civilization and gypsy life, is portrayed by Paul Jones Harness. He is hated by the gypsies and friendless except for his daughter and a bottle of liquor; he is a vagabond father.

ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, OCTOBER 10, 1929 No. 3 SCALP SOUTHERN-WE ARE WITH YOU, WOLVES ELVERA KUNDERT IS QUEEN; HAROLD BLACK IS MARSHAL WOLVES SCORE HEAVILY AGAINST VALLEY CITY SCORE IS 45 TO 0 Several Scores Due to Johnson's Spectacular Blocking of Punts A powerful, fighting team of Maroon and Gold gridmen met the football artists from Valley City Normal, Friday afternoon and easily disposed of the North Dakota team 45 to 0.

Tryphena is queen of her gypsy tribe, and is a regular boss at that. She is an embittered old woman, who sees good in no one and does good for no one. HAROLD BLACK, Marshal TAKEN FROM "THE FORENSIC" "Professor P. J. Harkness of the Northern State Teachers College of South Dakota, who for the past three years has consistently turned out winners in the state oratorical titles for that institution, has an interesting article in the April issue of the 'Quarterly Journal of Speech, Education'. The Journal is published by the National Association of Teachers of Speech, and deals with the main phases of speech education. This month it emphasizes the needs, objectives and methods peculiar to Teachers Colleges and the article by Mr. Harkness is a discussion of the General Organization and Nomenclature. He stressed the *general need of a separate department of speech aside from English, and a unit of purpose with proportionate stress on the various phases of work in this new department." SPEAKING OF ROYALTY Upon the golden roster of queens whose lovely sway 'reigns over the campus each recurring Gypsy Day a new name has been written and Miss Elvera Kundert of Bowdle will replace the former sovereign, Miss Rose Frothinger of Watertown. Lois Blethen, a senior is in charge of preparations for the coronation which will be the first feature on the homecoming program the morning of October 19. With all due pomp and splendor the former queen of loyal Romany subjects will descend from her stately position and place the crown upon the brow of her successor. The coronation will be held in the auditorium and a special Spanish Gypsy setting will be provided. Frank Kraft, last year's Marshal of the day will also be present and add to the glamor of the romantic occasion. Harold Black, this year's choice for Marshal will aid the new queen to assume her position in a manner best befitting royal blood. ALL ARE GETTING READY Preparations for the annual Gypsy Day, October 19, are more extensive than ever before. The parade will traverse the down town region in order that good will and fellowship may be demonstrated by the visiting tribesmen. The general public is invited to enjoy the afternoon game. At this time the mighty warriors of the Gypsy clan will combat a powerful foe, the St. Thomas gridmen, as tough an aggregation as the Twin Cities have produced in many a year, outside of the University. The tribal dance in the evening will be for Gypsies only. As soon as the Queen is crowned she will give the new password for the loyal subjects. Numerous valuable prizes will be given for floats and costumes. Special attention and special service has been promised to all visiting Gypsies by the merchants and business men of Aberdeen. LINCOLN HALL OFFICERS The following house officers have been chosen for the year for Lincoln Hall: president, Helen E. Malloy; secretary-treasurer, Editha Miller; W. S. G. A. representatives for the first floor, Florence Tracy; for the second floor, Marion Kraft and Evelyn Jackson; for the third floor, Marian Fix and Evelyn Thoreson.

All interested in junior high school work are urged to join the club. Information regarding the work of the club may be secured from officers or members. ORATOR HONORED One of our orator's has gained nation-al recognition by having his picture published in the "Forensic". We congratulate Louis Andersbn who won first place in men's oratory in the Provincial meet last year, ELECTION IS HOTLY CONTESTED Winner For Important Offices Are Both Popular Students and Good Mixers in Campus Activities The Gayest Gypsy Queen for the "Gayest Gypsy Gathering" was chosen last Thursday morning by popular vote of the entire student body. Miss Elvera Kundert is the lucky lady and will have for her marshal, Mr. Harold Black. Miss Kundert hails from Bowdle, where she graduated from high school in 1927. During her two years on the campus, she has become very popular because of her loyalty to the school and its traditions. Her popularity is evidenced by the fact that she leads the W. S. G. A. as president, the largest organization at the college. Mr. Black is a student from Big Stone City, from which high school he graduated in 1922, following his education with a year here, a year at the University of Minnesota, and the rest of the time up to the present at N. S. T. C. He is without a doubt one of the most popular and best known young men in the local institution. Last year he was business manager for the Pasque. Besides holding the presidency of the Masquers Club he is out for football and gives every one of the school's activities his whole-hearted support. Both elections were very close. Other candidates for queen were Rose Ramthun, Lois Blethen and Hazel Duncan. Only two men were nominated for Marshal, the winner and Francis Clark. Greetings To Former Gypsies! Early October, azure mists, golden glow, blue smoke, ruddy rays -all signs of fall, and, of course fall always brings Gypsy Day! Is it something in gypsy blood or is it something in the invigorating air, that whispers to us, "Gypsy Day is near. It's time to go home again." And again we dream. Gypsies dressed in all the radiance of the autumn landscape: orange, red, and green gowns; gay fringed sashes; scarlet silk kerchiefs over glistening black hair; bright jewels and gleaming teeth! Camp fires, rustling leaves, winding roads, gay caravans. But most of all the laughter, greetings, visiting, fun, and feasting. Feats of strength, dance, melodies, lilting songs, mysterious dramas form part of the memories of past days. There's something cosmic in it all. But it's time for action, not dreams. Pack up the old covered wagon, gather the family together, and head the mules due north (or south, or east, or west). It's time to start if you really want to be in for the gay reunion of Gypsies on October 19. Early in the morning we want all to sign the clan roll in the alumni room. And then a new Queen will be crowned-another royally beautiful, gracious Queen to rule us! Then everyone joins the caravan for the annual pageant procession. A great game at 2:00 P. M., the Gypsies vs St. Thomas College. Then the long feast hours, the evening ceremony, the play, the thrum of dance music. Remember the great truth that (every Gypsy knows-that nothing matters so much to human beings as other human beings, sweethearts, and friends. Let's all be home on October 19. Beryl DeHaven, President Alumni Association. MISS HANSEN The part of Morella O’Neil, daughter of Rodney, is taken by Louise E. Hansen. In the first place, despite her name, she’s a gypsy and besides that, obviously she’s Irish. Nothing more need be said concerning her part. Come and see for yourselves. MR. BAILLIE E. Kenneth Baillie takes the part of Corroll Lankford, an artist and son of wealthy parents. Carroll by chance meets Morella, the beautiful gypsy maiden, and for both, it is love at first sight. Come and see how Carroll meets this comely gypsy maiden. Freshman Contest Today Four Big Athletic Events Will Decide the Relative Prowess of the Freshmen and Upperclassmen In order not to interfere with the local high school pageant day, Freshmen Contest Day has been moved up to Thursday, October 10, instead of Friday, October 11. The tennis game will be played Wednesday, at 3:15 with three singles and two doubles matches. Mr. Laird is in general charge with Professor Lipscomb as the judge. The general contest will begin at 2:30 p. m. on Thursday with the football game between the Freshmen and Upperclassmen with Howard Torgerson in charge. The kittenball game for the Freshmen and Upperclassmen girls will follow immediately. Eddie Dresselhuys will be in charge. The tug-of-war is perhaps the most exciting event of the entire contest. There will be 15 men on each side. William Lawrence is in general charge. In order to avoid the tie embarrassment as happened last year the committee has decided that in case of a tie, in any event, the Upperclassmen will be considered as victorious. FRENCH-SPANISH CLUB MEETS The French and Spanish Club was organized last week when the following officers were elected: President, Darrell Mitchell; vice-president, Helen Kelly; Secretary-treasurer, Grace Moe. French and Spanish luncheons are held every week at the noon hour in the Dutch Coffee Shop. The French table meets on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, and the Spanish table meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays. These meetings give the students a fine opportunity to increase their vocabularies, for the French and Spanish languages are used as much as possible. All students who have studied French or Spanish are eligible and invited to join the Club. PHYS. ED. NOTES All classes of soccer and hockey are now going in full swing. Due to the large number of girls in the classes it is necessary to divide into squads. These squads have each elected a leader who will act as captain until other plans are made.

Oates returned to Aberdeen the latter part of last week from a very interesting and important meeting in Pierre, with a committee designed to standardize state purchases. Appointed by John P. Beign, state secretary of finance, in accordance with the law passed by the 1927 legislature, the committee met to draw up technical specifications for the state purchasing department. Through this plan, state institutions will be enabled to purchase all required supplies jointly and on a standard basis. D. W. Forbes, secretary of the committee, pointed out that one of the hopes of the committee was to reduce costs by standardized purchasing and not by substituting inferior goods, and in this way gain the same products for the school at a saving of thousands of dollars to the taxpayer. The committee consisted of three members from educational institutions three from penal institutions and three members from the state ofifces. FROM GRAND DUKE ALEXANDER The following letter was received by Harold Fowler, Gypsy Day Business Manager. The letter shows how far gypsy news travels within the clan. “Pleven, Bulgaria “September 7, 1929 "In 'Gypsy News' I have read of your glories Gypsy Day at the college in Aberdin.

Mrs. Garvin entertained the Y. W. C. A. girls of the college, Sunday afternoon, with an interesting lecture concerning her trip to Mexico, last summer. She described very clearly the romantic old country nestling around the Gulf of Mexico. She told of the careful, elegant manners of the higher class of Mexican people and described some of the deplorable conditions of the poorer peon. The latter, according to the speaker, are a class of people, mostly illiterate and dependent on others for food and shelter. Contrasted with the plantation owners and rulers of the country they form a very miserable lot. "The number of very fine churches is exceptionally noticeable. Nearly every plantation owner has his own worshipping edifice and seems to take a pride in out-doing his neighbors in this respect." Some very interesting souvenirs of the trip were also shown to the assemblage of girls. A second number on the afternoon's program was a saxophone and cornet solo by Selma Herr and Bernice Anderson. THANKS By this note I wish to thank my loyal friends for their support in the recent campaign and the student body for the honor they have conferred upon me. -Harold Black. “GYPSY FIRES” IS TRUE TO LOCAL GYPSY IDEALS DIRECTED BY PROF. PENCE All-Star Faculty Cast Will Entertain Romanies in Real Play "Gypsy Fires", a melodrama in three acts by Allan Davis will be presented by a cast chosen from the faculty as a big feature of the "Gayest Gypsy Day", entertainment. The director, Mr. Paul Pence, spent much time and effort this past summer in selecting a play that would be suitable for presentation for such a gala day. "Gypsy Fires" is said to be an artistic portrayal of gypsy life, not as we usually think of gypsies with their thieving and begging, but from the standpoint of their sorrows and happinesses. It is a very picturesque and interesting representation of our local gypsy types. One could almost believe that it had been written solely for our Gayest Gypsy Gathering, so true is it to many of our Gypsy Day ideals. It has excellent opportunities for a fine dramatic production, and we are assured of a worthwhile evening's entertainment. Let's all show our appreciation for the time and effort it has taken the coach and his cast to work up this production by coming out for the best evening's entertainment ever. YOUNG VIOLINISTS PLAY Students and faculty of N. S. T. C. were joyfully entertained at Assembly, Tuesday morning by Leon Everson and Maurice Dobbins, violinists, and pupils of Prof. Goodsell, and Helen Dobbins, pianist, as accompanist. Mr. Everson played the "Concerto in A Minor" by Accolay, and Maurice played "Der Sohn der Haide", by Kaler-Bela. To climax the program the three young folks played a trio: "First Spanish Dance", a composition by Prof. Goodsell. The entire program was of a very high class and excellently done. VISITOR IS PLEASED Superintendent of Schools Omsted, head of the educational work in Lamaur county, North Dakota, recently visited a few of the rural demonstration schools held in connection with the work at the college, and made some very fine comments on what is being accomplished in this department. The demonstration of the possibilities of the one-teacher school met with Mr. Omsted's approval and he expressed the desire to have some of our top-notch graduates in his county to carry on a similar program next year. The teachers in charge of the rural demonstration teaching, carried on daily, are Prof. Vermon Culp, Prof. M. M. Guhin, Miss Margaret Briscoe, Prof. M. F. Tostelebe and Dr. T. A. Harmon.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE The Assembly period on Monday and Wednesday will hereafter be used by the Glee Clubs and Chorus for rehearsal.

In a similar way the Assembly period on Friday will be kept open for meetings of class groups and other organizations. If Glee Club or Chorus rehearsals are scheduled for Friday, members will be excused to attend any other meeting which may be scheduled for that time. When it is necessary to schedule a General Assembly on one of these days, it will take precedence over any other meeting. MR. HARKNESS Rodney O’Neil, a derelict who has crossed the line between civilization and gypsy life, is portrayed by Paul Jones Harness. He is hated by the gypsies and friendless except for his daughter and a bottle of liquor; he is a vagabond father. |
