DR. McCALLISTER IN CHARGE Womrath of Minneapolis and Woodburn of Spearfish Are Principal Speakers The annual Spring Educational Conference, sponsored annually by the Northern State Teachers College will be held in Aberdeen March 21 and 22. The conference will be carried on in a similar manner as the past several years. Special group meetings for superintendents and principals, elementary school teachers and rural instructors will be held in addition to the regular gathering. Special speakers on the program will be G. B. Womrath, business manager of the city schools of Minneapolis who will deal with problems of interest to superintendents, principals and school boards; and President E. C. Woodburn of the Spearfish Normal School, whose addresses will be of special interest to elementary teachers. President Anderson has appointed a committee consisting of Dr. J. M. McCallister, Dr. Lee Byrne and Prof. V. H. Culp to look after preparations for the conference. Supt. C. H. Dalthorp of the Aberdeen public schools and H. B. Melcher, Brown county superintendent are also cooperating in the conference plans. WOLVES DEFEAT VIKINGS Augustana Beaten by Decisive Score of 37 to 27 The Northern Wolves defeated the Augustana Vikings in the final game of their southern invasion by the score of 37 to 27. The Wolves finally hit the stride that has marked their previous performances, before the disappointing southern invasion, and exhibited a dazzling offense that the Vikings were unable to solve. The game opened with both teams playing cautiously, and the Vikings held a one point lead for the first few minutes of play. The Wolves then opened up and lead by Washabaugh and Black, went on a scoring spree that left the Vikings far in the rear. The Wolves led at half-time by 23 to 7. The second half opened with Augustana taking long shots from mid-court, and soon cut the Wolves' lead to eight points. Then the Wolves came back and matched baskets for basket throughout the fray, with Perk Washabaugh and Herb. Black leading the offense with fourteen and ten points respectively. The Wolves' front line was hitting the loop with deadly accuracy, while Marquis and Raugust smothered the Vikings' short passing attack whenever they were within scoring distance. For Augustana, N. Johnson proved the most troublesome to the Wolves, caging six field goals, and playing a fine floor game. NORTHERN FG. FT. PF.

MASQUERS CLUB INITIATE TWENTY-FOUR PLEDGES OLD MEMBERS BANQUET NEW President Black and Mrs. Barnes in Charge of Final Ceremony As a culmination to several days of strenuous initiation, the Masquers' pledges were entertained by the old members at a banquet on Wednesday evening in the Dutch Coffee Shop. Nineteen active and five honorary members were welcomed into the club at this time. During the course of the dinner, the pledges were put to a test to show that they were willing to cooperate with the wishes of the club in every respect. Impromptu talks were given on such subjects as "The Peanut Crop in Iceland", "Lincoln Hall Laundry", "The Favorite Food of Norwegians", and "The Greatest Piece of Art Produced at N. S. T. C. Several musical and dance numbers were also presented, all of which were indications that the pledges were the very best of sports and would prove to be most desirable assets to the club. Toward the close of the evening, the Neophytes took the solemn Masquers' Pledge under the direction of Mrs. Barnes. The president, Harold Black, expressed the happiness of the club at having so many talented new members, and extended the welcome of all old members to those who were coming into the organization. A word of appreciation was spoken by Louis Anderson in behalf of the new Masquers. The committee for examination of applicants to the club consisted of John Schaal, chairman; Rose Ramthun, Mrs. Barnes, Mr. Hiett, and Mr. Harkness. The initiation committee was headed by Carolyne Hill, with Robert Sloan, Rose Ramthun and Lillian Kuechler as members. Those who had charge of the banquet were Sarah Grant, chairman; Marie Leighty, Louise Milligan, and Carolyne Hill. Those who became Masquers at the recent initiation are: honorary members-Misses Logan, Hilt and Hansen and Messrs. Spencer and Gerber; active members: Ellis Gates, Thelma Milnor, Carolyn Voelz, Virginia Lauerman, Lloyd Hughes, Helen Kelly, Selma Wiedebusch, Arthur Birkeland, Lorraine Aldrich, Mildred Morgan, Virden Laird, Hilda Hansen, Marcus Bunsness, Constance Lane, Gale Finley, Viola Oyhus, Louis Anderson, Effie Stemwedel, Howard Torgeson. COFFER-MILLERS APPRECIATED A large profit was made by the English Department from the Coffer- Miller plays this year. The total receipts were $502.55. The cost of the company itself was $350.00, while other expenses totaled $46.01. This includes the printing and postage expense of $27.21 and the stage fund of $18.80. The total net profit to the English Department is $106.54. This shows a large increase over last year's profits on the plays, and indicates an interest on the part of the public in good plays. Money is your servant if you know how to use it; your master if you don't. RADIO BOUGHT FOR DORMS A radio has been installed on the campus as a permanent feature. This new addition is being enjoyed by the girls of Lincoln and Graham Halls, and the constant use of it indicates that it is being enjoyed to the utmost. The radio is the beatuiful new cabinet model made by the Zenith Company. The funds from the Lincoln Hall Bazaar and additional donations by the girls of both dormitories made the purchase of the radio possible. During the past five years it has been customary for the girls to make donations to add to their parlors. Lincoln Hall sunparlor has added four floor lamps, tapestry, a nest of three tables, a Sonara phonograph, many beautiful pieces of hammered brass, and draperies for the entranceway. Graham Hall girls have purchased three pictures, beautiful tapestry, a floor lamp, a collection of pottery, a library table, and several piano scarves, besides a collection of fiction for leisure reading.

Norwood Brigance of Wabash College was the judge. First place was won by Mr. Larson of Augustana College of Sioux Falls. Nine colleges of the state had representatives in the contest.

First REGENTS MAKE FACULTY CHANGES FOR NEXT YEAR ONE DEPARTMENT DROPPED Professors McMurtrey, Collins and Miss Kelly Are Granted Leaves of Absence For a number of years it has been a question in the minds of the regents of education, whether this institution should offer work in agriculture. The regents have felt that to properly equip teachers of agriculture makes necessary more extensive agricultural activity and laboratory facilities than can be had at a teacher-training institution. Therefore, at the meeting of the regents held in Madison, on February 8, the board took action withdrawing agriculture as an offering at the close of the current school year. In the home economics department, by a re-arrangement of courses, a plan has been worked out whereby, without crippling the work, it will be possible to reduce the present staff by one at the beginning of the next school year. The board of regents made this change also at its recent meeting. Faculty Changes In consequence of these changes and two leaves of absence granted to members of the staff in psychology and modern languages, President Ander-son states that Northern will next year lose the services of four members of the teaching staff, every one of whom is a person of excellent training and genuine usefulness in the cause of education. These instructors are G. W. McMurtrey, assistant professor of psychology; Julie L. Collins, professor of French and Spanish; J. C. Readey, professor of agriculture; Ethel L. Swanson, professor of foods and nutrition. Miss Margaret Kelly was also granted a leave of absence for the summer term of 1930. place was won by Ralph Engstrum of Augustana College. In the preliminary contests, held February 14, Miss Searle was the only woman to reach the finals. The others reaching the finals were Ralph Engstrum of Augustana College, Laurel Eno of Sioux Falls College and Russell Calkins of State College. Prof. John M. Parlette of Morningside College, Sioux City, was judge in the preliminaries and Prof. W. Norwood Brigance of Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Indiana, judged the finals. Gale Finley represented Northern in the Extemporaneous Speech Contest, but was eliminated in the preliminaries. His subject 'was, "Personality vs. Learning in College Training." The contest was held in the assembly room of Dakota Wesleyan University and was presided over by Dr. Earl A. Roadman, president of Dakota Wesleyan. Still Good Advice "Be courteous to all, but intimate with few; and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to appelation. Let your heart feel for the affections and distresses of every one, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse; remembering always the estimation of the widow's mite; that it is not every one that asketh that deserveth charity; all, however, are worthy of the inquiry, or the deserving may suffer. "Do not conceive that fine clothes make, fine men, any more than fine feathers make fine birds. A plain, genteel dress is more admired, obtains more credit, than lace and Ng embroidery, in the eyes of the judicious and sensible.'-George Washington in a letter to his nephew, Bushrod Washington, 1783. WOLVES BEAT ELLENDALE The Wolves beat Ellendale Normal by the score of 63 to 14. Coach Campbell started in with most of his reserves, and they displayed a good passing attack, and their shooting was uncanny, scoring 23 points before their opponents were able to tally, the score at half time being 33 to 1. The Wolves used a fast-breaking offense that bewildered their opponents and secured many shots by beating the guards to the ball. The Ellendale quintet were unable to compete with the smooth-working offense of the Wolves, and due to fast playing they fouled frequently playing the last few minutes with only four men. Williams, Lewis and Washabaugh were high point men for the Wolves, while Ackert, forward for the visitors proved to be the only man able to score from the court, caging four field goals.

A voice which glows with youth and color. With a distinction of style and vivid winsomeness, Suzanne Kenyon is a true artist. Her voice is the climax of intonation and interpretation, interesting, beautiful and full of expression, and with her charming personality and poise she adds to her success in interpreting modern compositions with consummate artistry. Miss Kenyon is known the world over for her Costume Recitals. These recitals are given in the costumes which she collected while on tour through Europe and the Orient, and represent the various different countries. She was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and she has been praised by eminent critics throughout the country for her rendition of Southern Songs, which she sings in costumes of "The Old South". These unusual recitals have won for her an unchallenged place in the musical field. With Miss Kenyon comes F. Gerald Smith who has been acclaimed by musicians and public as one of the most phenomenal young American pianists of today. It is difficult to analyze the unique, subtle charm characterizing the virtuosity of this young artist; for he seems at all times to envelope everything he does with an undefinable poetic haze. Born near Grand Junction, Michigan, in 1907 of artistically inclined parents of French-German descent, F. Gerald Smith manifested a marked musical disposition at an early age. Owing to an extended trip through Europe and the Levant he did not begin the serious study of music until the autumn of 1915. He soon attracted the attention of musicians of note. So remarkable was his advancement that at the age of thirteen he toured the country as a "Boy Prodigy" and evoked tremendous enthusiasm from press and public alike. "Boy wonder;" "wizard of the keyboard;" "youthful marvel," and similar terms were freely used to designate his work as a child. FACULTY ENTERTAINED Lincoln and Graham Girls Are Host- esses at Valentine Dinner A St. Valentine dinner party was given by the girls of Lincoln and Graham Halls to members of the faculty, last Tuesday evening. Valentine decorations at each table, with red tapers lighting the dining hall, made the place very beautiful for the evening. Toward the end of the dinner hour, Dean Moulton awarded boxes of candy as prizes for the three most beautifully decorated tables. Mrs. Gamble, Miss Scott, and Mr. Lukken were guests at the winning tables. Those who served as judges were Miss Beulah Williams and Mrs. Gamble. A pleasant hour of dancing was enjoyed after dinner in the sunparlor. Guests for the evening were Mrs. Barnes, Mr. and Mrs. Lipscomb, Mrs. Weeks, Miss Beulah Williams, Mr. Lukken, Miss Fickes, Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Hill, Miss Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Ross, Mr. Alsup, Mrs. Black and Mr. McMurtrey. KAPPA DELTA PI INITIATES Twenty New Members Taken Into Educational Honor Society Kappa Delta Pi, the national scholastic honor society, held their annual -initiation banquet Wednesday at six o'clock in the Dutch Coffee Shop.

REGENTS GRANT LEAVES -Miss Kelly and Mrs. Collins Will Travel and Study in Europe President Anderson attended a meeting of the Board of Regents at Madison, February 8, and he reports several matters of interest to the institution. Two members of the N. S. T. C. faculty were granted leaves of absence by the board, Miss Margaret Kelly of the library and Mrs. Julie Collins of the language department. Miss Kelly's leave will be for June, July and August of next summer, during which time she will tour Europe. Mrs. Collins will also be away from the college during the summer months and she, too, will travel abroad. Her leave also includes the school year 1930-31. She will spend this time studying on the continent, mostly in Spain and France. George Washington The Father of our Country, was born February 22, 1732, and is still living in the hearts and lives of every good American. WOLVES MEET YANKTON Friday night, February 21, the Wolves meet the strong Yankton quintet in what should be one of the best games of the season. Yankton, leader of the conference, has not suffered a reverse in games played so far this season; but the Wolves, who have come out of the slump exhibited while on their southern trip, may mar this record. This is the final appearance of the Wolves on the home floor; every student should come and see the Wolves in action, giving their loyal support to one of the best teams Northern has turned out in several years. GLEE CLUBS TO SING SUNDAY The men's and women's glee clubs and chorus will appear-in an evening concert, Sunday, at the Methodist Church. They will give selections from the "Messiah" and several group numbers. Special solos by Monemia Evans, Carolyne Hill and Alfred Sueltz have also been arranged for. This program will be given at the regular church hour of '7:30 p. m., under Prof. Lukken's direction. Come Out and Help Beat Yankton

During the past five years it has been customary for the girls to make donations to add to their parlors. Lincoln Hall sunparlor has added four floor lamps, tapestry, a nest of three tables, a Sonara phonograph, many beautiful pieces of hammered brass, and draperies for the entranceway. Graham Hall girls have purchased three pictures, beautiful tapestry, a floor lamp, a collection of pottery, a library table, and several piano scarves, besides a collection of fiction for leisure reading. The new radio is the property of both Halls. COMING EVENTS Yankton B. B. Feb. 21 Jr. Speech Dept.

First REGENTS MAKE FACULTY CHANGES FOR NEXT YEAR ONE DEPARTMENT DROPPED Professors McMurtrey, Collins and Miss Kelly Are Granted Leaves of Absence For a number of years it has been a question in the minds of the regents of education, whether this institution should offer work in agriculture. The regents have felt that to properly equip teachers of agriculture makes necessary more extensive agricultural activity and laboratory facilities than can be had at a teacher-training institution. Therefore, at the meeting of the regents held in Madison, on February 8, the board took action withdrawing agriculture as an offering at the close of the current school year. In the home economics department, by a re-arrangement of courses, a plan has been worked out whereby, without crippling the work, it will be possible to reduce the present staff by one at the beginning of the next school year. The board of regents made this change also at its recent meeting. Faculty Changes In consequence of these changes and two leaves of absence granted to members of the staff in psychology and modern languages, President Ander-son states that Northern will next year lose the services of four members of the teaching staff, every one of whom is a person of excellent training and genuine usefulness in the cause of education. These instructors are G. W. McMurtrey, assistant professor of psychology; Julie L. Collins, professor of French and Spanish; J. C. Readey, professor of agriculture; Ethel L. Swanson, professor of foods and nutrition. Miss Margaret Kelly was also granted a leave of absence for the summer term of 1930. place was won by Ralph Engstrum of Augustana College. In the preliminary contests, held February 14, Miss Searle was the only woman to reach the finals. The others reaching the finals were Ralph Engstrum of Augustana College, Laurel Eno of Sioux Falls College and Russell Calkins of State College. Prof. John M. Parlette of Morningside College, Sioux City, was judge in the preliminaries and Prof. W. Norwood Brigance of Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Indiana, judged the finals. Gale Finley represented Northern in the Extemporaneous Speech Contest, but was eliminated in the preliminaries. His subject 'was, "Personality vs. Learning in College Training." The contest was held in the assembly room of Dakota Wesleyan University and was presided over by Dr. Earl A. Roadman, president of Dakota Wesleyan. Still Good Advice "Be courteous to all, but intimate with few; and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to appelation. Let your heart feel for the affections and distresses of every one, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse; remembering always the estimation of the widow's mite; that it is not every one that asketh that deserveth charity; all, however, are worthy of the inquiry, or the deserving may suffer. "Do not conceive that fine clothes make, fine men, any more than fine feathers make fine birds. A plain, genteel dress is more admired, obtains more credit, than lace and Ng embroidery, in the eyes of the judicious and sensible.'-George Washington in a letter to his nephew, Bushrod Washington, 1783. WOLVES BEAT ELLENDALE The Wolves beat Ellendale Normal by the score of 63 to 14. Coach Campbell started in with most of his reserves, and they displayed a good passing attack, and their shooting was uncanny, scoring 23 points before their opponents were able to tally, the score at half time being 33 to 1. The Wolves used a fast-breaking offense that bewildered their opponents and secured many shots by beating the guards to the ball. The Ellendale quintet were unable to compete with the smooth-working offense of the Wolves, and due to fast playing they fouled frequently playing the last few minutes with only four men. Williams, Lewis and Washabaugh were high point men for the Wolves, while Ackert, forward for the visitors proved to be the only man able to score from the court, caging four field goals.

A voice which glows with youth and color. With a distinction of style and vivid winsomeness, Suzanne Kenyon is a true artist. Her voice is the climax of intonation and interpretation, interesting, beautiful and full of expression, and with her charming personality and poise she adds to her success in interpreting modern compositions with consummate artistry. Miss Kenyon is known the world over for her Costume Recitals. These recitals are given in the costumes which she collected while on tour through Europe and the Orient, and represent the various different countries. She was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and she has been praised by eminent critics throughout the country for her rendition of Southern Songs, which she sings in costumes of "The Old South". These unusual recitals have won for her an unchallenged place in the musical field. With Miss Kenyon comes F. Gerald Smith who has been acclaimed by musicians and public as one of the most phenomenal young American pianists of today. It is difficult to analyze the unique, subtle charm characterizing the virtuosity of this young artist; for he seems at all times to envelope everything he does with an undefinable poetic haze. Born near Grand Junction, Michigan, in 1907 of artistically inclined parents of French-German descent, F. Gerald Smith manifested a marked musical disposition at an early age. Owing to an extended trip through Europe and the Levant he did not begin the serious study of music until the autumn of 1915. He soon attracted the attention of musicians of note. So remarkable was his advancement that at the age of thirteen he toured the country as a "Boy Prodigy" and evoked tremendous enthusiasm from press and public alike. "Boy wonder;" "wizard of the keyboard;" "youthful marvel," and similar terms were freely used to designate his work as a child. FACULTY ENTERTAINED Lincoln and Graham Girls Are Host- esses at Valentine Dinner A St. Valentine dinner party was given by the girls of Lincoln and Graham Halls to members of the faculty, last Tuesday evening.

Toward the end of the dinner hour, Dean Moulton awarded boxes of candy as prizes for the three most beautifully decorated tables. Mrs. Gamble, Miss Scott, and Mr. Lukken were guests at the winning tables. Those who served as judges were Miss Beulah Williams and Mrs. Gamble. A pleasant hour of dancing was enjoyed after dinner in the sunparlor. Guests for the evening were Mrs. Barnes, Mr. and Mrs. Lipscomb, Mrs. Weeks, Miss Beulah Williams, Mr. Lukken, Miss Fickes, Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Hill, Miss Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Ross, Mr. Alsup, Mrs. Black and Mr. McMurtrey.

REGENTS GRANT LEAVES -Miss Kelly and Mrs. Collins Will Travel and Study in Europe President Anderson attended a meeting of the Board of Regents at Madison, February 8, and he reports several matters of interest to the institution. Two members of the N. S. T. C. faculty were granted leaves of absence by the board, Miss Margaret Kelly of the library and Mrs. Julie Collins of the language department. Miss Kelly's leave will be for June, July and August of next summer, during which time she will tour Europe. Mrs. Collins will also be away from the college during the summer months and she, too, will travel abroad. Her leave also includes the school year 1930-31.

George Washington The Father of our Country, was born February 22, 1732, and is still living in the hearts and lives of every good American. WOLVES MEET YANKTON Friday night, February 21, the Wolves meet the strong Yankton quintet in what should be one of the best games of the season. Yankton, leader of the conference, has not suffered a reverse in games played so far this season; but the Wolves, who have come out of the slump exhibited while on their southern trip, may mar this record. This is the final appearance of the Wolves on the home floor; every student should come and see the Wolves in action, giving their loyal support to one of the best teams Northern has turned out in several years. GLEE CLUBS TO SING SUNDAY The men's and women's glee clubs and chorus will appear-in an evening concert, Sunday, at the Methodist Church. They will give selections from the "Messiah" and several group numbers. Special solos by Monemia Evans, Carolyne Hill and Alfred Sueltz have also been arranged for. This program will be given at the regular church hour of '7:30 p. m., under Prof. Lukken's direction. Come Out and Help Beat Yankton |
