COMING EVENTS Tea for Graduates June 5 Symphony Orchestra June 5 Commencement, 9:15 a. m. June 6 Alumni Luncheon, 12:30 June 6 Summer School Enrollment June 9, 10 Summer classes open June 11 John Seaman Garns, baritone June 13 Karl-Jeannette Murray Scheurer June 16 STRONG CAST INTERPRETS POLLOCK'S "THE ENEMY" OVERBY AND HARKNESS DIRE("I' Theme of Play Is Stirring, Heart- Rending Indictment Against All War "The Enemy", presented by the Masquer's Club, last Monday evening, in the College auditorium, revealed once more the futility of war. The human sufferings, the maimed and distorted lives, the dead, are the price we pay for war-and for what purpose? "To assert national honor, to show the world that my country is right!" The play shows how the spirit of patriotism makes of people unreasonable, intolerant, half-crazed beasts. Life-long friends despise and suspect each other when their countries are at conflict. The closing words bring to us the message of the play, "No more War!" "God give us Tolerance!" "God give us Love!" "God give us Peace!" The cast interpreted the strong, intense, characters in the play in a manner which reached dramatic skill rarely attained by an amateur group. As Pauli Arndt, Hilda Hansen carried the lead through the climax of the play. By nature a sweet, gay young woman, pain of the realization that war leaves everywhere widows and motherless children is almost unbearable to her. Her suffering at the death of her child, declaring that the guns cannot reach her baby, were acted with rare ability. Playing the role of her husband and lover, Carl Behrend, was Louis Anderson. His interpretation of an emotional character, difficult even for a professional actor, was very well done. Carl is a likeable young chap, but more than this, he dwells in a world of ideals. His dreams are at last revealed to the world through his play which is produced after, the war. As Pauli's father, Karl Hansen played the part of a kindly old professor, with his usual excellence, indicating Mr. Hansen's wide experience On the stage. One feels a deep respect and love for this gentleman who so earnestly desires brotherly love among men. Almost the anthithesis of this character is the Baron, Carl's father. His one passion is desire for wealth. Unbearable are his cutting remarks, directed most erten to his son and the professor. ohn Schaal gave to this character the necessary dignity of a proud member of the Austrian aristocracy. Mizzie, the young wife of Fritz was played by Lorraine Aldrich in a delightful manner. Harold Black took the part of Fritz, whose half-crazed accusation of the Baron was a bit of acting rarely equalled on the local stage. Ellis Gates in the part of the young Englishman, Bruce Gordon, delighted the audience with the ease in which he interpreted his character. Jan, who brings the news of Carl's death, was most effectively interpreted by Harold Fowler, and Boruska, an ignorant country girl, evidenced a worthy interpretation by Carolyn Voelz. The college orchestra furnished appropriate music for the evening. Assisting Miss Edna Overby and P. J. Harkness in the production arc: Business Manager, Harold Fowler; Stage Manager, Arthur Birkland; Wardrobe Mistress, Viola Oyhus; Properties, Helen Kelly; Music, Carolyne Hill; Art Work, E. K.

Thomas MARGARET SEYMOUR ' 2 5 , daughter of Vice-President Seymour, had charge of the Kindergarten in the Washington School, Aberdeen, for three years where she made an enviable record as a teacher and director. In 1928 she accepted a similar position in the schools of Great Neck, N. Y., where she has been for the past two years. Miss Seymour is peculiarly fitted for Kindergarten work and has demonstrated her talent in this field. P. D. PETERSON '25, has been superintendent of schools at Canning, South Dakota, since leaving Northern. He is a capable administrator, but will leave administration work to enter his chosen field of teaching Mathernat! cs. In the class of 1926 Northern graduated one of its outstanding athletes, JACK EVANS. He was a three-letter man, winning honors in football, basketball and track. He held the state collegiate record in the broad jump and showed unusual ability as a football field general. Jack (lid graduate work in Physical Education at the University of Minnesota, for a year and then went to Denver where he was made an assistant in the Physical Education Department of the Denver City Schools. Jack is on his way to the top in his chosen work. WILLIAM GRUHN, '26, has distinguished himself in educational work. He has taught in the Roosevelt Junior High School, Aberdeen, since graduating and will become Principal of the Simmons Junior High next September. William was one of Northern's best debaters and gave a good account of himself in forensics. He has nearly completed work for his M. A. at the University of Minnesota. 1927 saw the graduation of another of Northern's best athletes and one of her best forensic men: GEORGE PALMER, a football player and a track man, left little doubt in the minds of fans as to his athletic ability. In the dashes and the high jump George had few superiors in the South Dakota State Confer- ence. At the half-hack position in football he was elusive and speedyon offense and always in the way of the opposition in defense. George went to Chamberlain as teacher and coach where he has remained for three years. His athletic teams have been an evidence of his capable instruction. P. ENGMAN HAFNOR, '27, who won laurels in debate while a student, has had charge of debate work and has filled administrative posts in the City Schools of Valley City, North Dakota. "Pete" has been at Valley City for the past three years. The class of 1928 had as one of it.; members ROBERT NEIL CAMP-BELL, present coach of athletics at Northern. "Bob" has made an impressive beginning, and the future will reveal a bright page in Northern Athletics under his guidance. FLOYD COCKING, another twenty-eighter, has gone up rapidly in his field. Floyd sort of grew up with Northern, coming here for his high school and college education. His bent was toward Manual Arts in which he did supervision work as a student. The past two years he has spent teaching in the schools of Arizona. Next year he goes to San Diego, California, to teach Manual Arts in the City Schools. In the class of 1929 we find the names of SADA POST, R. R. DEIMER, ROY L. DAVIDSON, MARY ZOE BISSELL, all of whom are employed in the City Schools of Aberdeen. Northern chose two out of the class of last year to remain and become assistants in the institution: HELEN DAVIES in the Art Department and EDITH ALDRICH in the Department of Physical Education for Women. Two other members have distinguished themselves in Educational work: FRANK KRAFT, Superintendent at Hosmer, South Dakota, and ERNEST BOWERMAN, instructor in Science in the high school at Mellette. Bowerman will go to the School of Mines, Rapid City, next year where he has a fellowship in Chemical Engineering. PROF. SIMMONS RESIGNS Will Be Superintendent of Schools at Borup, Minnesota, Next Year Professor Benjamin L. Simmons, at his own request, has been released from his present position as director of the training school at the college. He has accepted a position at Borup, Minnesota, as superintendent of schools. Borup is located in the Red River valley in a rich agricultural section and has a very fine consolidated school. The training school at Northern has been abolished for next year. Professor Simmons has a very broad experience in rural education. He was trained at the local institution, has served for four years ;n South Dakota schools, as principal of the Senior high school at Wessington Springs, as superintendent of school at Hosmer, besides his experience here during the past year. He will attend school at Iowa University this summer and complete the work for his Master's Degree.

See You at Summer School MONSIGNOR RABIC GIVES BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS THEME: CULTURE VS. RELIGION Faculty and Graduating Groups Enter to Strains of Dignified Processional March Monsignor F. P. Grabig of Milbank addressed a large audience of townfolk and graduating students in the annual baccalaureate service held Sunday afternoon. "Religion and College Work" was the theme developed by Monsignor Grabig. "Culture is worth attaining if for no other reason than that a good mind is better than a poor one. Morality, religion and honesty are all more important than culture. Nevertheless culture is of vital interest to every student." In developing his subject the speaker declared, "Morality is in the will- culture is in the mind. Too many trust in culture and not in grace. A cultivated mind is not, necessarily, a sign of holiness." "One big deed is worth a thousand thoughts," declared Monsignor Grabig in closing. "Action, not speculation, is necessary in the world of today." The address of the afternoon was preceded by a Processional led by Seymour Houge and Leonard Sloan, marshals of the day. They were followed by the faculty, the four-year graduating class, the two year graduates, and the one-year students following in order. Misses Edna Olson and Johanna Elsing played the Processional (March and Chorus from "Tannhauser") and the Recessional (Military March by Schubert). The invocation was given by Reverend L. A. Westenberger of Aberdeen and the benediction was pronounced by Reverend E. R. Todd, also of Aberdeen. Miss Carolyne Hill sang "Ave Maria" by Bach-Gounod, assisted by Miss Alice Clarke on the violin and Miss Viola Boekelheide on the piano. THE WISE SENIOR There was a wise Senior who thought All knowledge that was ever sought By ambitious old scholars Could be had for three dollars So then a diploma he bought. -E. Kundert.

Harold Black took the part of Fritz, whose half-crazed accusation of the Baron was a bit of acting rarely equalled on the local stage. Ellis Gates in the part of the young Englishman, Bruce Gordon, delighted the audience with the ease in which he interpreted his character. Jan, who brings the news of Carl's death, was most effectively interpreted by Harold Fowler, and Boruska, an ignorant country girl, evidenced a worthy interpretation by Carolyn Voelz. The college orchestra furnished appropriate music for the evening. Assisting Miss Edna Overby and P. J.

Thomas MARGARET SEYMOUR ' 2 5 , daughter of Vice-President Seymour, had charge of the Kindergarten in the Washington School, Aberdeen, for three years where she made an enviable record as a teacher and director. In 1928 she accepted a similar position in the schools of Great Neck, N. Y., where she has been for the past two years. Miss Seymour is peculiarly fitted for Kindergarten work and has demonstrated her talent in this field. P. D. PETERSON '25, has been superintendent of schools at Canning, South Dakota, since leaving Northern. He is a capable administrator, but will leave administration work to enter his chosen field of teaching Mathernat! cs. In the class of 1926 Northern graduated one of its outstanding athletes, JACK EVANS. He was a three-letter man, winning honors in football, basketball and track. He held the state collegiate record in the broad jump and showed unusual ability as a football field general. Jack (lid graduate work in Physical Education at the University of Minnesota, for a year and then went to Denver where he was made an assistant in the Physical Education Department of the Denver City Schools. Jack is on his way to the top in his chosen work. WILLIAM GRUHN, '26, has distinguished himself in educational work. He has taught in the Roosevelt Junior High School, Aberdeen, since graduating and will become Principal of the Simmons Junior High next September. William was one of Northern's best debaters and gave a good account of himself in forensics. He has nearly completed work for his M. A. at the University of Minnesota. 1927 saw the graduation of another of Northern's best athletes and one of her best forensic men: GEORGE PALMER, a football player and a track man, left little doubt in the minds of fans as to his athletic ability. In the dashes and the high jump George had few superiors in the South Dakota State Confer- ence. At the half-hack position in football he was elusive and speedyon offense and always in the way of the opposition in defense. George went to Chamberlain as teacher and coach where he has remained for three years. His athletic teams have been an evidence of his capable instruction. P. ENGMAN HAFNOR, '27, who won laurels in debate while a student, has had charge of debate work and has filled administrative posts in the City Schools of Valley City, North Dakota. "Pete" has been at Valley City for the past three years. The class of 1928 had as one of it.; members ROBERT NEIL CAMP-BELL, present coach of athletics at Northern. "Bob" has made an impressive beginning, and the future will reveal a bright page in Northern Athletics under his guidance. FLOYD COCKING, another twenty-eighter, has gone up rapidly in his field. Floyd sort of grew up with Northern, coming here for his high school and college education. His bent was toward Manual Arts in which he did supervision work as a student. The past two years he has spent teaching in the schools of Arizona. Next year he goes to San Diego, California, to teach Manual Arts in the City Schools. In the class of 1929 we find the names of SADA POST, R. R. DEIMER, ROY L. DAVIDSON, MARY ZOE BISSELL, all of whom are employed in the City Schools of Aberdeen. Northern chose two out of the class of last year to remain and become assistants in the institution: HELEN DAVIES in the Art Department and EDITH ALDRICH in the Department of Physical Education for Women. Two other members have distinguished themselves in Educational work: FRANK KRAFT, Superintendent at Hosmer, South Dakota, and ERNEST BOWERMAN, instructor in Science in the high school at Mellette. Bowerman will go to the School of Mines, Rapid City, next year where he has a fellowship in Chemical Engineering. PROF. SIMMONS RESIGNS Will Be Superintendent of Schools at Borup, Minnesota, Next Year Professor Benjamin L. Simmons, at his own request, has been released from his present position as director of the training school at the college. He has accepted a position at Borup, Minnesota, as superintendent of schools. Borup is located in the Red River valley in a rich agricultural section and has a very fine consolidated school. The training school at Northern has been abolished for next year. Professor Simmons has a very broad experience in rural education. He was trained at the local institution, has served for four years ;n South Dakota schools, as principal of the Senior high school at Wessington Springs, as superintendent of school at Hosmer, besides his experience here during the past year. He will attend school at Iowa University this summer and complete the work for his Master's Degree.

See You at Summer School MONSIGNOR RABIC GIVES BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS THEME: CULTURE VS. RELIGION Faculty and Graduating Groups Enter to Strains of Dignified Processional March Monsignor F. P. Grabig of Milbank addressed a large audience of townfolk and graduating students in the annual baccalaureate service held Sunday afternoon. "Religion and College Work" was the theme developed by Monsignor Grabig. "Culture is worth attaining if for no other reason than that a good mind is better than a poor one. Morality, religion and honesty are all more important than culture. Nevertheless culture is of vital interest to every student." In developing his subject the speaker declared, "Morality is in the will- culture is in the mind. Too many trust in culture and not in grace. A cultivated mind is not, necessarily, a sign of holiness." "One big deed is worth a thousand thoughts," declared Monsignor Grabig in closing. "Action, not speculation, is necessary in the world of today." The address of the afternoon was preceded by a Processional led by Seymour Houge and Leonard Sloan, marshals of the day. They were followed by the faculty, the four-year graduating class, the two year graduates, and the one-year students following in order. Misses Edna Olson and Johanna Elsing played the Processional (March and Chorus from "Tannhauser") and the Recessional (Military March by Schubert). The invocation was given by Reverend L. A. Westenberger of Aberdeen and the benediction was pronounced by Reverend E. R. Todd, also of Aberdeen. Miss Carolyne Hill sang "Ave Maria" by Bach-Gounod, assisted by Miss Alice Clarke on the violin and Miss Viola Boekelheide on the piano. THE WISE SENIOR There was a wise Senior who thought All knowledge that was ever sought By ambitious old scholars Could be had for three dollars So then a diploma he bought. -E. Kundert.
