TO T H E CLASS OF 1923 “ T h e stars shine over the earth, T h e stars shine over the sea ; T he stars look up to the m ighty God, T he stars look down on me. T he stars have lived a m illion years, A m illion y ears and a d a y ; B ut God and I shall love and live W hen the stars have passed a w a y .”
I like to p o n d er on the sublim e phase of the etern al asp ect of our b e ing. It fills a perso n w ith aw e to know th a t our ch aracter is form ed an d our influence exercised for tim e an d eternity. L et us recognize th a t the w orth w hile things are everlasting. “T ru th crushed to earth shall rise again ." “ In the en d justice will triu m p h .” “ M ercy is n o t strain ed ." H a tre d en d u reth for a tim e, b u t love lasts. C ruelty runs its course, b u t kindness is p erm an en t. T h ere are tw o really g reat things in this w o rld — love an d service. If you seek happiness, you will attain it through love an d service. If y o ur h eart is full of love an d your h an d read y for service you h av e solved the g reatest p ro b lem of life. L ove an d service are the fu n d am en tal things in our chistian religion an d are the essential elem ents of greatness. T h ey are the things th at m ake the m o th er great. T hey m ake the teach er great. T hey will m ake any one great. Y our life an d m y life have tou ch ed for a brief period. Y ou have m ade m e b ette r for this co n tact an d I ho pe you are b ette r because you have know n me. Y ou h av e your identity an d individuality an d 1 have m ine. Y ou will be you an d I will be 1 w hen countless eons have p assed aw ay. Y ou and I m ust be su bject to the sam e im m utab le law s of the w orld, an d m ust learn to acquiesce in our com m on lot. Y ou and I m ust rem em b er th at the hom e is the b est place in the w orld an d th a t w e should m ake hom e the m ost p leasan t p lace in the w orld. Y ou and I m ust learn to respect each others tastes an d opinions and practice the law of m inding our ow n business. Y ou and I m ust learn to live together, an d m ust co o p erate in solving our com m on p ro b lem s of life. Y ou and I m ust practice the “ G o ld en R ule" an d learn to forgive our enem ies as w e w ish to be forgiven. Y ou and I m ust care for our bo dies an d look u p on them as being the tem ples of our souls. Y ou and I should study the w o n ders an d b eau ty of the w orld an d learn to ap p reciate them . Y ou and I m ust learn to recognize the obligations of life, an d give al legiance to our duty. g ga— —9—

Y ou and I should recognize th a t teaching is the m ost h o no rable occu p atio n in w hich a perso n can engage an d th a t w e should exalt our high calling. Y ou and I m ust recognize th a t w e are m orally responsible beings, and th a t w e m ust b e w o rthy w o rk ers in the sight of G od. A n d now d e a r frien d s in the y ears to com e w hen the m em bers of the C lass of 1923 are scattered like the au tum n leaves b efo re a m ighty w ind, you can tak e up this, our first annual, an d turn its pages in pensive m ood. M ay it lead your thoughts b ack to your g o lden an d h ap p y school days. M ay it retouch the m em o ry of long fo rg o tten pleasures in tim es gone by. M ay it throw up on the screen of your life again the visions of the w o rth w hile things you cherished w hile in school. “ A cross the years, B e fra u g h t w ith fears, Bedew ed w ith tears, Y e t more abounding in sw eet joys, T o you, dear Friends M y hand extends, M y m essage send, F o r Love today my w ill em ploys.” S. T. M A Y.
H ISTO R IC A L SK ETCH OF T H E SCH OO L. Soon after the S lope co u n try of N orth D ak o ta w as p erm an en tly settled the peo p le b eg an to feel the n eed fo r a N orm al school in this p art of the state. A t th a t tim e there w ere three N orm al schools in N orth D akota, those being a t V alley C ity, M ayville, an d M inot. A ll four w ere situ ated w ell to the n o rth an d w est of the state in w hose services they w ere erected. T h e logical location, then, for the fourth N orm al w as in the w estern p art. T h e sw ift d ev elo p m en t of this p a rt of the state m ade this section a fav o red one an d the position of D ickinson as a trad in g cen ter for a large agricultural area an d several ham lets, influenced the legis lature to m ake this city the seat of the fourth N orm al school. T h e location having b een d ecid ed upon, the site w as selected b y the b o ard of R egents, b o u g h t b y the co unty of S tark and the city of D ickinson an d p resen ted to the S tate of N orth D ak o ta. It consists of sixty-seven acres of choice lan d an d lies just w est of the city of D ickinson. O n a beautiful ro u n d ed b u tte n ear the eastern ed g e of the tract, will stan d the m ain group of buildings. T h e legislature of 1917 m ad e an ap p ro p ria tio n for buildings an d m ain tenance, b u t the g o v ern o r v eto e d th a t p o rtio n of the bill w hich p ro v id ed for buildings, leaving tw enty th o u san d d o llars fo r m aintenance, an d school o p en ed the follow ing year. D uring th e season of 1918 a v ery successful sum m er session w as held, b eing co n d u cted b y S u p erin ten d en t P e ter S. B erg of the D ickinson city Schools. M ore th an one h u n d re d stu d en ts w ere enro lled Ju ly 18, 1918. T h e B oard of R egents m eeting a t Fargo, elected Sam uel T h o m as M ay of M adison, S outh D ak o ta, p resid e n t of the new school. T h e E lk’s b uilding w as ren ted , a course of stu d y w as fo rm ulated , necess ary furniture, ap p aratu s, an d supplies w ere purchased, a faculty of five m em b ers w as selected, an d school o p en ed O cto b er 1, 1918. T h e school grew rap id ly in nu m b ers of students, faculty an d equipm ent, an d practice teaching w as organized w ithin the city schools of D ickinson. T he N orm al school is fo rtu nate, ind eed, in b ein g g ran ted the privilege of training its teach ers in this fine system of schools w hich is u n d er the efficient m an ag em en t of P e ter S. Berg, w ho is also d irecto r of the trainin g school. T h e school has e x p an d ed in various w ays to keep up w ith ed u catio n al a d
vancem ent. T h e n u m b er of stu d en ts en ro lled the first y ear w as 100, for the y ear 1921-22 the list reached 697. M eanw hile the faculty also has becom e larger. T h e n u m b er has increased from five in 191 8 to thirteen in 1923 an d includes am ong its m em bers, scholars of distinction an d culture. T he m aterial equ ip m en t too, has b een increased to keep pace w ith the increase in num bers of stu d en ts an d faculty. T h e d o rm ito ry for w om en, S tickney H all, b uilt in 1921, stand s on the w est of the building site; it is built of brick, is three stories high, an d co n tain s sleeping room s for fifty w om en, besides the dining room , living room , m usic room , an d the various o ther room s necessary to living conditions. In the second y ear of the school’s life the legislature m ad e ap p ro p riatio n for $ 9 0 ,0 0 0 for buildings. T h e legislature of 1923 m ad e ad d itio n al a p p ro p riation of $ 6 0 ,0 0 0 an d on M onday, A pril 16, 1923, at 4 :3 0 P. M., in the presence of a cro w d of stu d en ts an d tow nspeople, the co rn er stone of the m ain building w as laid w ith a p p ro p ria te cerem onies. T h e building will be of brick, four stories high, h av e a fro n tag e of 2 8 4 feet, face south east, reach 163 feet back, and contain 52 ro o m s an d full basem ent. T he m en ’s d o rm ito ry will stan d n o rth east from the m ain building, fac ing south, an d will b e a replica of the w o m en ’s building. T h e buildings are now in process of construction an d will b e read y for occupancy Jan u ary , 1 924. A ll this sp lendid d ev elo p m en t has m aterialized u n d er the guidance of our efficient president, aid ed by the resident directors. T h eir untiring zeal, b ro ad sym pathy, w isdom , enthusiasm an d industry m ust ev er be k ep t in m ind in considering the success of this, T h e D ickinson N orm al School. T h e ad m in istration is n o t only progressive, urging the school o n w ard to w ard leadership in the state, b u t p ro v id es to the g reatest ex ten t possible, fo r every refined an d cultural influence in an d ab o u t the school.

The M essage of the Pasque Flow er to the D akota Nation N O T E :— T h is is the tran slation b y D r. M elvin R. Gilm ore, S tate C u rator, and taken from his book “ P ra irie Sm oke” by his perm ission. T he F asqu e F lo w er has several popular or common nam es, H a r ts horn P lan t, G osling F lo w er, P ra irie Sm oke Flow er, and the m isnom er “ C ro cu s,” which last is m ost unfortunate, as the Crocus is an entirely different plant, n ative in A sia , and cu ltiv ated in gardens.
Am ong D akotas. and other Indian nations as w ell, it is a m ark of the very highest respect to address one as grandm other or gran dfath er. It is in accordance w ith this idea th at (he Pasque F low er is rep resented as speaking in the ch ar acter o f grandparent, addressing its human auditors as grandchild. T hus the flo w er speaks to the peo ple o f the hum an race as fo llo w s: "I have been tryin g alw a y s to encourage you children of the hu man race in a ll generations hy show ing you and tellin g you that the sprin g is here, and th at the bu ffalo w ill increase, and now your parents w ill prepare to go 011 the b u ffalo hunt so th a t you shall h ave plenty o f food and good clothing. Now I h ave come out first of a ll the flo w er people so th at D akota children can pick me up and kiss me and pi y w ith m e ; and little hoys w ill know that it is time to p ra c tice shooting w ith the arrow . Then, a fte r I have first come, a ll the other flo w er people come out dressed in bright colours, show ing them selves so charm ing and so delightful, and they m ake the earth look so beauti fu l and joyou s and sm ell so fr a g rant. A nd then, too, all the beasts Photo by Russell Reid, B ism a rck o f t l l e f o i 'e s t and of the Prairie are putting o ff th eir old, shaggy w in ter coats and are p uttin g on th eir new and beau tifu l sum m er coats and are grow in g fa t and h e a rty and read y to become the necessary flesh food fo r human beings. The birds also are dropping th eir dull w in ter plum age and are p uttin g 011 th eir bright spring plumage, and they begin to tune their voices to sing enchan tin gly fo r a ll the world. A nd am id all these scenes of return in g life and beauty I shall be standing among them old and g ra y and about to die, fo r my life w as la rg e ly spent before they came upon the scene. Now, m y grandchild, this is an exam ple for you, to show you th at you, too, m ust become old and gray, and, dying, shall pass on to the n ext happy land, w here your ancestors h a ve opened the road before you. You look fo r them and m iss them here be low, fo r they h ave g o n e ; but you sh a ll meet them there above w hen you youi'self shall go there bye and bye. Rem em ber me to a ll th at generation w hich follo w s a fte r you. T e ll them that you saw me.

CH R ISTIA N ED U C A T IO N I w o n d er if w e realize th at the C hristian religion can n ev er b e p u t on a p ar w ith o th er religious system s, because it is n o t a system , b u t a Person. 1 w o n d e r if w e realize th a t G o d becam e m an in o rd er to save us an d to give us an exam ple of a p erfect life. W e h av e o u r social an d econom ic problem s, b u t if the w orld w ould rev ert to C hristianity, an d follow our L ord s precepts, “ D o unto o th ers as ye w ould be d o n e by and, L ove thy n eigh b or as thy self,” these p ro b lem s w ould soon b e solved. B ut w h at are w e going to do ab o u t it? W e shall soon b e taking our places in the g reat b attle of life, w here our lot will be to lead, to guide, to direct. A re w e read y for it? A re w e really d eterm in ed to tak e u p on o u r selves the eno rm o u s responsibility? T h e future of the n atio n rests largely w ith us, as teachers. It is true, the hom e is all im p o rtan t, an d no factor can really supersede the hom e influence, b u t w e can d o a g reat deal to su pp lem en t the good, or su p p lan t the evil effects of som e ho m e en v iron m ents. But if we, ourselves, are n o t im bued w ith a p reg n an t C hristian spirit, w e shall n o t succeed in im proving the w orld. W e are often too m aterial istic, w e fo rg et that, after all, life in this w orld is n o t v ery long, an d that w e are here for an o th er p u rp o se th an m erely en jo y ourselves. A m erica need s to have the b est schools in the w orld. A lan d of liberty m ust b e a lan d of C hristian virtue, or liberty will be sw allow ed up in greed a n d license. C hristian gen eration s can b e b uilt up only b y C hristian ed u ca tion. A s far as I can see, true C hristianity is the only p an acea for all our ills. W h at is the go od of all this greed for gold, this restless striving after m aterial goods, earth ly pleasures, or honors? W ill these things b ring us true h appiness? Is this the h eritage w e w ish to leave to our ch ild ren ? If w e continue alo ng the sam e lines as at present, our co u n try will becom e a second d eca d en t R om e. C an w e teach ers n o t stem the tide? T he schools of to d a y do im art a g reat d eal of useful know ledge, and a certain d eg ree of m ental activity is achieved, b u t this is n o t education, for ed ucation is n o t a p ro d uct, b u t a process in w hich m a n ’s w hole being is stirred an d set in m otion. E ducation is a vital, n o t a m echanical process. It is fu rth ered an d carried on by persons, n o t devices. It is an engrafting of a higher k in d of life, of the fine qualities of a genuine, cu ltiv ated n ature u p on a low er. It is n o t drill, b u t fertilization. T h e aim is n o t the acquire m ent of inform ation, b u t of intellectual p o w er; n o t know ledge, b u t a strong lum inous self-active m ind. U nless w e can look into our ow n m inds an d find the E ternal H o ly Spirit, w ho is the C reato r an d F ath er, of all, w e can nev er build for the soul a hom e w herein it shall feel itself free an d im m ortal. T h e pupil m ust com m une w ith the A lm ig hty O ne an d the w orld he has m ade, or he will nev er know n the true m eaning of things, n o r the surpassing goodness an d b eau ty w hich aw ait the ad v an cin g steps of genuine learners. B ut the young, if left to them selves, will n o t becom e conscious of G o d s p resence in all th a t H e creates, will n ev er u n d e rstan d the inestim able w orth an d sacredness of life. If they are to acquire the self-activity w hich m akes self-education possible, they m ust be h elped an d guided, they m ust be b ro u g h t u n d e r the influence of teachers an d receive the im pulses w hich en lightened an d generous souls alone can give; hence if a higher kind of m an
an d a p u rer an d m ore beneficent civilization are to com e on earth, the co o peratio n of teach ers is indespensible. O f all v o catio n follow ed by m an, the m ost sublim e an d the m ost re sponsible is th a t of teaching, because w hile o th er professions an d vocations have for their the w elfare of the b o dy , teach ing deals prim arily w ith the care of m a n ’s b o dy , the d ev elo p m en t of his m ind, an d the saving of his w onderful, im m ortal soul. T rue, all teach ers d o n o t recognize the cultivating of m an 's m ind an d the care of his soul as the chief en d of education, b u t co n cen trate their a tte n tion on the d ev elo p m en t of his m ental an d physical being to the u tter ex clusion of ev ery th in g th a t w ould aid him to accom plish the en d for w hich A lm ighty G o d created him . T his kind of ed u catio n is one of the crying evils of the day, an d it is true, n o t only of th a t given in high schools and colleges, b u t even in the p rim ary g rad es w here the h arm d o ne is incalculable. T he little ones are taught, w e adm it, to kn ow an d to ap p reciate the w o n ders of the universe an d the beauties of this w orld of ours, b u t they are n o t tau gh t to know or to love the G o d w ho created these m arvelous things for their use o r happiness. O ur influence as teachers is m ore far-reaching th an w e have any idea of. O ne gentle w ord, one act of kindness, one angry em otion co n q uered m ay not, indeed, b ear fruit now , b u t in years to com e, w ho know s w hat it m ay do for us an d the child? E ven though w e n ev er see the results in this w orld, w e believe, an d w e m ust believe, th a t our lab o r will b e fruitful, if w e b u t try to k eep b efo re us the en d for w hich w e are w orking. W e m ust not, then, becom e discouraged an d im p atient over the m eager results of our efforts, b u t keep steadily on, d eterm in ed to do our d u ty perseveringly to the end, in spite of difficulties, an d leave the results to G od. R em em b er th a t for all of those children, sorrow is w aiting som ew here along the w ay, an d for m any ofthem no th in g b u t p o v e rty an d suffering. It is our duty, then, n o t only to p rep are them for the g reater sorrow s of life b y teaching them how to b e a r the d isap p o in tm en ts an d griefs of ch ild h ood, but, w e think, it is a m ost sacred obligation to m ake their school-days as h ap p y as possible, b ecause m any of their childish h earts have never know n, an d nev er will know , an y kindness an d joy b ey o n d the lim its of the school room . L et us, then, v ery often rean im ate our courage by reflecting on the nobility of our profession an d the end w e h ad in view in becom ing teachers.

DO ES G O O D SC H O L A R SH IP P A Y ? F req uently the question th a t is u p p erm o st in the m inds of stu d en ts is the question of scholarship. D oes it p ay w hile w e are in school? D oes it p ay in after life? G o o d scholarship d oes pay. 1. It pays during school-days. 2. It pays in after life. W ith o u t d o u b t every one will ad m it th at w hile one is in school it pays to be a good student. T h e good stu d en t has m an y ad v an ta g e s o v er the p o o r one. N ot only is he loo k ed up on w ith respect by his fellow stu d en ts an d his teacher, b u t he has the p ersonal satisfaction of know ing th a t he is doing his w ork w ell an d accom plishing the en d for w hich he aim s: nam ely, g et'in g a good education. H e is n o t the m aster of his lessons m erely for the purpose of getting grades, b u t for the p u rp ose of u n d erstan d in g the technicalities of his w ork so as to b e ab le to ap p ly them w hen the occasion arises. T his is n o t so w ith the p o o r o r ind ifferen t stu d en t w ho does n o t g et his w ork from d ay to day, b u t a t tim es can blu ff w ith success. A gain, the good stu d en t is a t his b est w hen a difficult p ro b lem arises; it is easily co m p reh en d ed b y him , therefore he n aturally can m eet his dem ands. But w hy d o w e go to school? Is it m erely to m aster the subject m atter of our tex t b ooks? T h e aim of the school is to p rep are the stu d en t for later life an d n o t m erely to furnish am usem ent for the tim e being. T h e sam e can be said ab o u t su bject m a tte r of tex t b o o k s; the stu d en t does n o t learn the w hy and w herefo re for im m ed iate application, b u t the pu rp ose is far reach ing; it is to p rep are him to m eet an d co n q uer the pro b lem s of life. S eco nd ly : G o o d scholarship pays in after life. I d o n o t believe th a t one can ap p reciate his ed u catio n until he has en tered into som e business enterprise.

M USIC The man th at hath no m usic in him self, Nor is not moved w ith concord o f sw eet sounds, Is fit fo r treasons, strategem s and s p o ils ; T he m otions of his sp irit are dull as night, L et no such m an be trusted. — Shakespeare.
W e can all b e m usicians to a certain extent. W e can cultivate the finer sensitiveness to m usic w hich involves m ore th an the love of beautiful sounds. M usic is tonal discourse. It has definite form an d p ro p o rtio n , an d displays n atio n al tendencies, historical perspective, characteristics of individual co m posers, an d o th er elem ents w hich the trained ear can perceive. T hese, w hen u n d ersto o d , increase im m easu rab ly the cap acity for enjoym ent. W ith an u n d e rstan d in g of the lan guage of m usic w e can go out into the w orld w ith m ind an d h eart o pen to the cultural an d ethical significance o': the finer things of life. Piano Departm ent T h e air is full of m usical sounds. W e h ear strains from B ach’s “ F ugues,” M ozart’s “ R equ iem ,” S ch u b ert’s lovely m elodies, an d B eeth o v en ’s Sonatas. W e w o n d er w here w e are. T h e soft an d beautiful harm onies m ake us fo r get the stern reality of our p u rp ose in the study hall until w e arouse from our d ream in g an d realize th a t the sounds are issuing from an ad join ing room w here M iss K indley’s pupils strive to in terp re t the tho u g h ts of m aster m inds. M ost of her pupils are of the city b u t m any of the N orm al stu d en ts avail them selves of the o p p o rtu n ity to stu d y u n d er her efficient tutelage. Public School Music D epartm ent In the teaching of m usic in the Public Schools of A m erica, the aim s are three-fold. First— T o m ake A m erica a m usic-loving nation. S eco nd — T o m ake its p eo p le b ro ad -m in d ed , intelligent lovers of music. T h ird — T o discover, encourage, an d train w ith u tm o st care the future m usic artists of A m erica. T he Public School M usic D ep artm e n t of the D ickinson S tate N orm al, w orking to w ard the g reater end, has this lesser aim — to m ake the future teachers of N orth D ak o ta intelligent, capable, seriously-interested trainers of the young in w ays m usical, th a t the g reat cause of good m usic shall keep apace w ith the progress in all o th er lines of the State.

C lass of 1923: F ro n t an d center! A s the largest class to g rad u ate w e heartily co n g ratu late you. Isn’t it m arvelous the grow th of D. S. N. O nly 22 in the 1920 Class, w hile ju st three years later you alm o st reach the century m ark. It is interesting to note, how ever of the total of the 149 g rad u ates th a t have g rad u ated from the D ickinson S tate N orm al 123 h av e b een girls a total of 8 2 .5 5 % (n o w o n d er w om an suffrage has arriv ed ) w hile the boys are trailing w ith a total of 26 or 17.45% . But w e’ll leave th a t to future classes to equalize. A s a m anifestation of “ esprit d e co rp s’’ each g rad u atin g class w onders how the school will ev er get alo ng w hen it’s gone. A m em b er of the faculty said to m e last fall: “ Y ou kn ow I’ve nev er h ad a n y b o d y to fill the place of the m em b ers of your class; the school hasn t seem ed the sam e place since you folks left u s.’’ A n d I felt p articularly glorified b u t m y glory w as short lived, for she ad d ed , "B ut I feel th a t w ay ab o u t each class th a t g rad u ates.” A n d so D. S. N. will m arch o n w ard — ad d in g new laurels an d fam e to her nam e. H o w ev er w e h o p e you h av e beco m e sufficiently en am ored w ith our A lm a M ater, durin g y c u r stay u n d e r her b anners, to ev er b e loyal to her cause, as w ell as loyal to yourself an d to y o ur country. A s you stan d on the threshhold of life— the w ay lies o pen b efo re you— y o u r future life— success in your w ork, is just w h at you m ake it, no m ore no less. U se the talen ts G o d has given you an d go to w ork. T h e w orld n eed s teachers, real teachers, energetic teachers— w h at can or will you d o — our hats are off to you. T h en join us in th ree rousing cheers for the Blue an d G ray — our A lm a M ater, m ay she ever p ro sper! L oyal A lum ni. L oyal A lum ni: T h e m em bers of the three classes w ho have b een g rad u ated from our school h av e set high sta n d a rd s w hich can n o t w ane, an d therefo re the class of 1923 m ust strive to the u tm o st to retain them . M uch of the school’s success has b een due to the loyal alum ni. P erh ap s the g reatest thing you h av e d o n e for us is the inspiration you h av e given throu g h your ow n p e r sonal success, w hich will spur us on to d o our best. W e find you p ro m in en t in all m o v em en ts for the help of D. S. N. an d m ore th an that, w e find you successful in y o ur chosen w ork, sp len d id rep resen tativ es of our sp lendid school. S oon the class of 1923 will b e a d d e d to y o ur num ber. W e are p ro u d to say w e h av e the largest en ro llm en t of any of the preceedin g classes an d w e sincerely h o p e th a t throu g h the com ing years w e m ay b e as successful as you h av e been. W e also strive to p ro v e ourselves as d e v o ted an d loyal to the “Blue an d G ray ” as you h av e alw ays been. C lass of 1923.
