The scene of the play is laid in the cloister of a Spanish convent of an enclosed Dominican nunnery.

Sister Joanna of the Cross, played by Alma Gramita, is designated to have charge of the child and she lavishes all the affection and care of a mother on the child. After an interlude which represents a passage of 18 years the child is about to leave the convent, to marry her fiance. The man she is to marry comes and she says goodbye in a very dramatic scene and leaves. Teresa, the foundling, is played by Margaret Young. The difficult role of the pryoress is enacted by Anita McCarter. Supporting parts are played by Cecelia Christian, Ruby Youig, Rose Jenks, Mary Jo Morse, Mary Pulfrey, Delores Mack and Maureen Cooley.

Annual Princess Pat-Prince Mike Dance To Be Held March 18 Grimwade Explains Position OF Balkans In European Scrap Eric I. Grimwade, English journalist and traveler, spoke to the assembly Thursday at 3:15 p. m. on "The Current Situation in the Eastern End of the Mediterranean." "It is injustice to call the Balkans the 'powder keg of Europe' ", began Mr. Grimwade, "for they choose peace before war. It is the quarrel between the Great Powers that is pushing them toward war." "Germany, a traditional foe of the Balkans, prefers to take them peacefully rather than turn the Balkan Pantry into a battlefield. They are actively and potentially an important source of supplies to Germany. "The British and French interests are purely to safeguard their investments. Whether Tzarist or Communist, Russia is still 'Uncle Ivan' and there still exists in Belgrade the remnants of the Tzarist regime," Concluding his talk, Mr. Grimwade stated that the knob of the whole situation is Turkey. "Wanting 'Democracy and Europeanization', Turkey stands as the outstanding example of the 'feeling' that exists all over the Balkans. She is interested in remaining in peace and does not want her democracy destroyed nor her country bombed. She wants England to win, but she does not desire to get into the war herself." Mr. Grimwade's speech terminated the Rotary lectures for this year, Men Debaters Win First At Mitchell The Northern State Teachers college men's debate team, coached by P. J. Harkness, director of forensics, won first place in the Dakota Wesleyan Invitational Debate Tournament at Mitchell, Friday and Saturday.

The team defeated Dakota Wesleyan, Yankton, Southern, Eastern, and State college. John Geisler, Aberdeen sophomore, and Bill Mantel, Aberdeen freshman, were entered in the tournament as another men's team. This team won from State college, and Southern Normal. Kelley and Noll were entered in the St. Thomas tournament held in Minneapolis, March 3, 4, and 5. Election For Honorary Position Will Be Held After Assembly Thur. Orval Westby, president of the student body, announced that the annual Princess Pat-Prince Mike dance will be held March 18 in the college gymnasium under the auspices of the student council. The Princess Pat-Prince Mike dance is the big event of the spring social calendar and compares with Gypsy Day in the fall. Student President Westby declares that this year's affair will be more colorful and entertaining than ever before. At the Thursday morning assembly candidates for Princess Pat and Prince Mike will be introduced to the student body. The student council is also planning a variety program for the assembly which will include student talent and musical numbers. Following the program, polls will be opened to the student voters and continue open until 5:00 p. m. The winning candidates names will be announced the same evening. On Tuesday, March 18, Princess Pat and Prince Mike will go through an impressive coronation ceremony in the college auditorium. Tuesday evening in the college auditorium students will dance to the rollicking tunes of old Erin in the gymnasium. Bill Klitz and his Shamrocks will furnish the music for the dance. The student council stated that the dance will not be formal and that it is open to the whole student body. Lorraine Chamberlain, assisted by Dr. Mary Wills, will have charge of the coronation ceremonies. Ruby Young, head of the entertainment committee, promises some outstanding floor show attractions at the dance, while Jane Adams heads the decoration committee. Bill Van Orman has charge of the publicity. No petitions for student candidates will be accepted after today. Kappa Delta Pi To Enter Act In Y Show At a luncheon meeting on Friday, February 28, in the Dutch Coffee shop, members of Kappa Delta Pi discussed the organization of an act to be entered in the Y. W. C. A. vaudeville show. Since the club is composed of both faculty members and students, it was decided to have one part of the vaudeville put on by the faculty and the other part by the students. The faculty committee is composed of Dr. N. E. Steele, Dr. M. E. Nugent, Misses M. Briscoe and A. Hamlin. Louise Morris, Faythe Mantel, and Ann Duffy have joint chairmanship on the student committee. A Cappella Choir Member Sees Little Man Who Was There "Do you see what I see ?" a sleepy member of the A Cappella choir of Northern State Teachers college asked another sleepy member as they sat in the downtown studio of the local broadcasting station at 1:30 a. m. while waiting to "go on" as a part of the D X program of an hour's duration that vas being broadcast. He was referring to a very small man in a very big hat, fearfully and wonderfully dressed in a gaudy cowboy suit complete with boots and guitar. "The Dakota Kid" announced the man who was talking into a marvelous contraption that looked like a telescope. It was just another "mike." As the little apparition burst into a rollicking western song, the nervous choir members relaxed, hopeful that the unusual hour and novel situation had not affected their sanity.
