Lewis Bartlett, Editor-in-Chief of the finished year-book sat at the head of the table as toastmaster and Dr. J. C. Lindberg, director and adviser, sat at the foot of the table and gave the review and farewell speech.

To Teach In North Dakota EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT All students interested in unit work in education, should be sure to call at Miss King's room, C-15. There is a great wealth of work in history and geography from the intermediate work. The work is in units, some on the geography of a stated country, some on the progress made in a certain line of human endeavor. When you look at these units do not judge them by the degree of beauty displayed but on the graphic way in which a certain group of facts are systematized by the children who made the booklets, groups of pictures or articles shown. Miss Holtz Receives Award A varied program was given at the regular Thursday morning assembly last week. Dr. Anderson presided and , introduced the different numbers: Three piano solos, "Valse," Levitzki, "The Island Spell," Ireland, and "Invitation Au Trepak," Tschaikowsky, by Marjorie MacDonald; and two vocal numbers, "Caro Nome," from Rigoletto, by Verdi, and "Carmena," by Wilson, by Margaret Westenberger, were the musical features of the program. Suzanne Pfitzner accompanied Miss Westenberger. Announcement of the presentation of the Sigma Delta Epsilon, science fraternity, key to Elizabeth Holtz was made by Laroy Zell. The key was presented for scholarship, activity in science circles and interest in the fraternity. A skit, "The Pussy Cat," under the direction of Marjorie Christensen, was presented by members of the junior speech department as the closing number. Children appearing in the short presentation were Muriel Calmenson, Elain Kleinsasser, Robert Bruce Melin, Margaret Mary Pattno and George Leighton, Jr. German Club Has Party The Country Club was transformed into a colorful flower garden on Thursday evening, May 21. The fireplace in the main entrance room was arranged with baskets of lilacs and tulips, and hugs baskets of honeysuckle shrubs were set about in every nook. The affair was a dinner dance. The club house and grounds were engaged for the whole afternoon and evening-so many went out and enjoyed golf or tennis. During the evening several tables of ping-pong were occupied and tables of bridge were also in evidence. The "Merry Makers" orchestra furnished the music. Much of the success of the affair is due to Dr. Garvin, Francis Fuller, Georgia L. Kemper and Elinor Kraushaar. Special guests at the party were Dr. and Mrs. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Oates, Mr. and Mrs. Baillie, Mr. and Mrs. Mewaldt, Mrs. Lipscomb, Margaret Westenberger and Georgia L. Kemper. Dr. Garvin also had as her guests Dean Moulton, Miss Kroeger, Mrs. Spencer and Irma Maschke.

With the subject, "Relation of Chemistry to Industry," Harold MacKenzie also placed first. Reita Schmackenberg tied for second place on the subject, "Relation of Chemistry to Enrichment of Life," with Ethel Coffey of the Cathedral high school, Sioux Falls. These essays have now been entered in the national chemical society prize essay contest. Joan of Arc June 2, Tuesday evening at 8:15 in the auditorium, the combined music departments will present a historic cantata, "Joan of Arc," by A. R. Gaul as a part of the commencement festivities.

Lindberg; The Voices, Carolyne Hill and ladies chorus. COURSE IN WORLD LITERATURE The class in Teachers' Course in English during the summer will make a special study of the State Course of Study in English, and work out as a project in the first two weeks an outline for World Literature which is a required course for the twelfth year. This course is a chronological study of world literature pointing out the great periods in the history of literature. It is a practical type of work for teachers in the field and for students whose major or minor is English because it gives an opportunity to become acquainted with this part of the course before it is printed later in the summer. The same plan of organizing into units will be followed as is being followed in other sections of the state. Miss DeHaven, head of the department of English in the city schools, Miss Lighthall, acting head of the department of English at N. S. T. C., with many other teachers of English are working with Mr. Lyman Foot, principal of the high school at Mitchell in the construction of a new course of study in English. "Berkeley Square" June 1st, 1931 Mrs. I. D. Weeks and Miss Lida Williams were faculty members who assisted with the program of the Gilden Jubilee at the Methodist Church last week. At a meeting held last Thursday the officers for next year for the English Club were elected: Alice Lortscher, president; Helen Kelly, vice-president; Barbara Anderson, secretary treasurer. "Berkeley Square" June 1st, 1931 RESPECT THE FLAG When you see the Stars and Stripes displayed, son, stand up and take off your hat. Somebody may titter. It is in the blood of some to deride all expression of noble sentiment. You may blaspheme in the street and stagger drunken in public places, and the bystanders will not pay much attention to you, but if you should get down on your knees and pray to Almighty God, or if you should stand bareheaded while a company of old soldiers marches by with flags to the breeze, most people will think you are showing off. But don't mind! When Old Glory comes along, salute, and let them think what they please! When the band plays The Star Spangled Banner in a restaurant or hotel dining room, get up, even if you rise alone; stand there, and don't be ashamed of it, either. Don't he ashamed when your throat chokes and the tears come when you see the flag flying from the masts of our ships on the great seas or floating from every flagstaff of the Republic. You will never have a worthier emotion. For of all the signs and symbols since the world began there is none so full of meaning as the flag of this country. Other flags mean a glorious past; this flag means a glorious future. It is not so much the flag of our fathers as it is the flag of our children, and of countless children yet unborn. It is the flag of tomorrow, the signal of the "good time coming." It is not the flag of your king; it is the flag of yourself and your neighbors. Your flag stands for humanity, for an equal opportunity to all the sons of men. Of course, we have not yet arrived at that goal; injustice still dwells among us; senseless and cruel customs of the past still cling to us, but the flag leads the way to righting the wrongs of men. Our flag is the world's symbol of liberty. That piece of red, white, and blue hunting means live thousand years of struggle upwards. It is the full-grown flower of generations fighting for liberty. It is the century plant of human hope in bloom.-Alvin M. Owsley, of Texas, National Director, Americanism Commission, American Legion, Indianapolis, Indiana. To Teach in North Dakota Two demonstration school teachers of the Northern State Teachers College system, Miss Lillian Russell, of Summit, and Miss Julia Finley, of Aberdeen, will instruct in the Ellendale N. D., Normal durnig the summer. Miss Russell, who holds the position of primary demonstration teacher at the Warner school, is to give special courses in primary methods for a two week's period, opening on May 25. A graduate of Northern, Miss Russell has served for five years in the Warner school. Miss Finley will spend the six weeks summer term at the North Dakota school teaching and giving work in methods. Miss Finley is also a graduate of Northern with five year's experience in the Riverside school. Both instructors conducted courses at the Ellendale school last year.

To Teach In North Dakota EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT All students interested in unit work in education, should be sure to call at Miss King's room, C-15. There is a great wealth of work in history and geography from the intermediate work. The work is in units, some on the geography of a stated country, some on the progress made in a certain line of human endeavor. When you look at these units do not judge them by the degree of beauty displayed but on the graphic way in which a certain group of facts are systematized by the children who made the booklets, groups of pictures or articles shown.

COURSE IN WORLD LITERATURE The class in Teachers' Course in English during the summer will make a special study of the State Course of Study in English, and work out as a project in the first two weeks an outline for World Literature which is a required course for the twelfth year. This course is a chronological study of world literature pointing out the great periods in the history of literature. It is a practical type of work for teachers in the field and for students whose major or minor is English because it gives an opportunity to become acquainted with this part of the course before it is printed later in the summer. The same plan of organizing into units will be followed as is being followed in other sections of the state. Miss DeHaven, head of the department of English in the city schools, Miss Lighthall, acting head of the department of English at N. S. T. C., with many other teachers of English are working with Mr. Lyman Foot, principal of the high school at Mitchell in the construction of a new course of study in English.

"Berkeley Square" June 1st, 1931 RESPECT THE FLAG When you see the Stars and Stripes displayed, son, stand up and take off your hat. Somebody may titter. It is in the blood of some to deride all expression of noble sentiment. You may blaspheme in the street and stagger drunken in public places, and the bystanders will not pay much attention to you, but if you should get down on your knees and pray to Almighty God, or if you should stand bareheaded while a company of old soldiers marches by with flags to the breeze, most people will think you are showing off. But don't mind! When Old Glory comes along, salute, and let them think what they please! When the band plays The Star Spangled Banner in a restaurant or hotel dining room, get up, even if you rise alone; stand there, and don't be ashamed of it, either. Don't he ashamed when your throat chokes and the tears come when you see the flag flying from the masts of our ships on the great seas or floating from every flagstaff of the Republic. You will never have a worthier emotion. For of all the signs and symbols since the world began there is none so full of meaning as the flag of this country. Other flags mean a glorious past; this flag means a glorious future. It is not so much the flag of our fathers as it is the flag of our children, and of countless children yet unborn. It is the flag of tomorrow, the signal of the "good time coming." It is not the flag of your king; it is the flag of yourself and your neighbors. Your flag stands for humanity, for an equal opportunity to all the sons of men. Of course, we have not yet arrived at that goal; injustice still dwells among us; senseless and cruel customs of the past still cling to us, but the flag leads the way to righting the wrongs of men. Our flag is the world's symbol of liberty. That piece of red, white, and blue hunting means live thousand years of struggle upwards. It is the full-grown flower of generations fighting for liberty. It is the century plant of human hope in bloom.-Alvin M. Owsley, of Texas, National Director, Americanism Commission, American Legion, Indianapolis, Indiana.
