The Exponent Vol. XL, No. 5 Northern State Teachers College, Aberdeen, South Dakota October 15, 1941 Most Colorful And Largest Homecoming Ends Chairman Thanks College and City For Cooperation Oscar Hagen, student chairman of the Gypsy Day committee, in an interview Monday thanked every person who helped in the promotion of the 26th annual homecoming. "On behalf of the Gypsy Day committee, I want to thank all students, faculty, Aberdeen merchants, Aberdeen Civic association, the Spokesmen, and the Hub City Department of Safety for the aid they gave the Gypsy Day committee in making our homecoming a huge success," Hagen said. The students and faculty members who gave so much of their time to building floats, planning events, and taking members of the committee on advertising trips should be especially thanked, Hagen announced. The committee wishes to thank the freshman class for the job they did in making the pep fest the best in history. In thanking all who contributed help in making the day a success, Hagen also announced the winners of the various prizes. The Industrial Arts club had the best campus float; the Queen's float was the most gypsy; the most humorous float was the Alumni float; KABR received the award for merchant's best float; the best rural demonstration float was from Parkway; the C. A. A class had the best individual float; the best Gypsy woman on horseback was Edith McNeill; and the best Gypsy man on horseback was Billy Hagen. Mr. Bornong had the best Gypsy costume worn by a man; Louella Mitchell had the best costume worn by a woman student; Dr. N. E. Steele, president of the college, had the best faculty costume; Miss Stella Yates had the most humorous costume; and Miss Bernice Remde had the gypsiest alumni costume. Guhin's dry cleaning shop won the prize for having the best window decorated, while Penney's store was judged to have the best store-wide cooperation and received a gold plaque. FITES BAGS PHEASANT WHERE? READ STORY Boastful male hunters had better "keep mum" when in the presence of our mighty huntress, Mrs. Maude Fites, Northern's assistant financial secretary, as her bag of one cock far surpasses any mere tale of securing "the limit." With no expensive gun or shells, no fatiguing all-day expedition or hunting experience, Mrs. Fites actually succeeded in bagging a live pheasant cock last Wednesday noon. This spectacular feat took place while Mrs. Fites and Miss Caroline Orvis were passing the N. S. T. C. tennis court while going home to lunch. They saw a pheasant cock crouching on the edge of the court attempting to hide from them. As it appeared to be injured, the ladies investigated, and Mrs. Fites boldly picked up the large, wild bird which made only brief resistance. Examination showed that that was due to a gun wound in its neck. After this unusual capture, Mrs. Fites proudly carried home the cock, dressed it, and fried it for dinner that night. "Was this bird better than pheasants of other years which had been obtained in more routine ways?" your reporter inquired of Mrs. Fites. Her answer spoke for itself, "One of the best pheasants I have ever eaten." A big moment in the life of Estella Delorme, Northern State Teachers college 1941 Gypsy Day queen is pictured above as Miss Delorme received a bouquet of roses from Governor Harlan J. Bushlield. Governor Bushfield's presentation was part of the ceremony during which he crowned Miss Delorme, Chippewa Indian student from Belcourt, N. D., as queen of the homecoming celebration. Viola Schmierer Elected Sports Club Chairman Viola Schmierer was elected chairman and Janice Hinckley vice-chairman of the Sports club at the organization meeting which was held Thursday evening, October 8. Plans for the year's program were discussed and the club decided to sponsor badminton and pi,ng-pong. The group plans to have a steak fry soon. The club has limited dues to five cents a quarter in order to enable any girl on the campus to become a member if she is interested. FRED THEDE AWARDED FREE FLIGHT TRAINING Frederick Thede Frederick Thede, Northern '41, was awarded five hours free flight training for achieving the highest ranking in the C. A. A. flight training course he took here last year under Professor N. H. Mewaldt. Ralph Lothrop and Howard Sime, who also finished their primary C. A. A. course here, are now in Spearfish taking the secondary flight training course. LATE NEWS FLASH! Don Thorson, Aberdeen sophomore, was elected editor-in-chief of the Exponent by the board of publications at its first meeting of the year, Monday afternoon. Mr. Thorson was an editor of the Central high school Blue and Gold, as well as business manager of the Arrow, Central's yearbook. He was also a member of the a cappella choir. At Northern, he is a two-year pre-engineering student. In his freshman year, he won an honorable mention in the Gallett Short Story contest. He was also a member of the Industrial Arts club. CALVIN FORUM PREXY RECENTLY ANNOUNCED Swaying away from the idea of electing an upper classman for president the members of Calvin Forum elected Ruth Barnes, freshman of Aberdeen, as their president. Other officers include: vice-president, Phyllis Leach of Aberdeen; and Mary Jo Morse of Forrestburg as secretary-treasurer. Advisers for Calvin Forum are John L. Murphy of the division of Social Science and Rev. M. D. Bone, pastor of the Presbyterian Church. Plans were made to have a pot luck supper, October 12, in the church parlors of the Presbyterian church. Doris Jones was chosen chairman of the refreshment committee which also included Virginia Rehnke and Betty Thorne. Rev. Bone led the "get acquainted" games. Speaker Addresses NSTC Students On Temperance Miss Hortense O'Dougherty of Chicago, Illinois talked to the Physical Education students Wednesday morning on Education and Temperance. She first explained the methods of teaching in Michigan. The grade schools are simply called elementary schools and there are no sharp divisions between grades. All the subjects taught are correlated. The teachers work together in planning the students' lessons. Then Miss O'Dougherty talked on temperance and alcohol. She stressed the fact that temperance means moderation in all things such as eating, sleeping, and working, as well as in drinking. She demonstrated how policemen take tests to determine if an arrested man is intoxicated. She also had many charts showing the range of the view of the normal person and of an intoxicated person, and the rate at which a person's efficiency decreases with the increase of alcohol in the blood. She explained that alcohol harmed the nerves making poor coordinators. The reasons for drinking as indicated on the chart were for social prestige, stimulation, to create a freer sociability, and to satisfy a habit. BETTY ALDRICH DANCES FOR EASTERN STAR CONVENTION Miss Betty Aldrich, petite freshman, did a gypsy solo dance to the piano accompaniment of Mrs. Erick Holscher, at the fifty-third annual session of the South Dakota Grand Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star at Huron last Thursday night, October 9. Making the trip with Miss Aldrich were Misses Ruth Allen and Elizabeth Kester, physical education instructors of Northern. Gypsy Day Success From Pep Fest To Dance In Arena The Gypsy Day arrangements committee headed by Oscar Hagen, Orient senior, with the able advice and help of E. K. Baillie, faculty adviser for the event, witnessed the most colorful homecoming in the history of Gypsy Day Saturday after more than a month's preparation and hard work. The celebration received a rousing start with the pep fest in the college amphi-theater Friday night. There more than a thousand students, faculty, and friends of Northern gathered to pay homage to traditional Gypsy spirit. John Geisler, Hub City junior, was in charge of the event and with the help of P. J. Harkness, director of forensics; Alvin La Vine, Aberdeen junior; the pep squad, and the freshman class staged one of the greatest pre- Gypsy Day pep rallies in the history of Northern. Queen Crowned by Governor Early the next morning, Estella Delorme, charming senior girl, was crowned to rule over the Gypsy clan by Gov. Harlan Bushfield during an impressive ceremony in the college auditorium. Marcella McGovern and Larry Brown plenned the event with the help of Ruth Allen, women's physical education instructor, and Karl Synder, instructor of English and dramatics. Max Crane, Glencross senior, served as Miss Delorme's marshal for the day.

One of the most colorful floats in the procession was the Queen's float, planned and decorated by Irene Roda, Hub City senior.
