Alma Mater A lm a M ater, fo st’rin g m other, Gladly do we sing of thee; M any are the lessons ta u g h t us By the good old N orm al P ’s. Who worked w ith diligence To teach w hat w e should know, To live a life of usefulness, As through th is world we go. M any are th y grad u ates Who teach in other states, B ringing honor to the school In which th ey did m atriculate. F arew ell, then our Alma M ater, May w e alw ays do our best To teach th e children of our nation How to bravely m eet life’s test. — D orris L ittle

IN MEMORIAM M rs. A gnes Gee, 1923 H enry Dolechek, 1922

Dedication To th e citizens of Dickinson in g ra te fu l recogniÂ tion of th eir generous, unlim ited efforts, th a t have made th e com pletion of our schoo-l possible, of th e ir financial support in all our undertakings, we, the class of 1924, respectfully and whole h earted ly dediÂ cate th is annual.

SAM UEL T. MAY P resident

TO TH E CLASS OF 1924 “You are my friends, fo r you have smiled w ith me My help and hope in f a ir and sto rm y w eath er; I like you fo r th e joys you’ve w hiled w ith me, I love you for th e g riefs w e’ve w ept to g e th er.” You have been here in an epoch m aking year. The y ear the school moved from the E lks’ building to the New Building. F or five and one-half years the school was housed in its tem porary home and then M arch 28, 1924 it moved into is m agnificent perm anent home. This w as a g re a t day fo r the Dickinson N orm al. its traditions and m em ories.

It le ft the old building w ith all

“And as we view th e fad in g past And dream on days th a t fled so fast, Full m any a thorn w hich once w as ours Seems all a-blossom now w ith flow ers. I t came to th e New Building w ith all its hopes and prospects fo r fu tu re years. “W ith aching hands and bleeding feet We dig and heap, lay stone on stone; W e b ear the burden and the heat, Of th e long day and w ish ‘tw ere done, N ot till the hour of light retu rn All we have built do we discern.” You are going to grad u ate, going out to teach. You came to th e N orm al School to learn. You should go fo rth to serve. We hope you a tta in success in your calling. There will be difficulties in the way. To yield to them is easy to re sist them is hard. You m ay m ake m istakes, b u t Em erson says, “M istakes are opportunities fo r learn in g .” Thoreau says, “Men are born to succeed, not fail.” Lord H oughton says, “The virtue lies in the struggle, and not in th e prize.” Much can be accom plished by being in earnest. Robertson says, “ The world is given as a prize fo r the person in earn est.” Dickins says, “There is no su b stitu te for thorough-going, ardent, sincere earnestness.” Rem em ber th e th ree fold key to happiness, a h ea rty acquiescence in your lot, a h ea rty allegiance to duty, and a h e a rty appreciation of th e w onders and beauty of life. Be happy yourself, make others happy. If you are happy, you will be successful. H appiness is the legal ten d er of the soul. There m ay be sorrow a t night, b ut joy will come in the m orning. “ T here’s an hour fo r toil and an hour fo r thought. And th e re is also an hour fo r play, B ut alw ays find tim e in this w eary old world To m ake some one smile each day.” — S. T. MAY

G REETIN G The Class of 1924, thro u g h the P ra irie Smoke staff, ex tends greetin g s to you, th e read er of these pages. We offer this annual to you w ith the hope, th a t it m ay, w hether you are teacher, student, alum nus, p atro n of our school or stran g e r, call to your m ind m em ories of your own school days, friends, and acquaintances, give you p e r chance a b it of am usem ent, and lead you into closer sym path y w ith and keener u nderstanding of our school life.

Spring The earth ’s white carpet fades ’way, She dawns a robe of green; The gaily bubbling w aters sparkle In the hurrying onward stream . The crocus on the hillside, The first to greet you th ere; The plum trees decked in beauty W ith fragrance fill the air. The chipmunk from its hiding place Squeaks louder than before; The cricket by the roadside Plays its fiddle more and more. The gentle laughing breezes Among the treetops play, The meadow lark peals out its calls Of greeting for the day. From the youngsters pattering feet Creeping noises reach our ear; Louder still rings out th eir voices, Oh, Springtime is the time of year. — GRACE MASON.

North Dakota Oh, ta k e me ne’er from F lick ertail S tate, W here everything is up to date. W here a ir is pure and fresh — its g reat! A nd m akes a person feel first rate. O ut w here the sunshine is the ra re s t And w here the flow ers grow the fairest. Out w here the sky seems th e bluest And th e d reary days are th e few est. O ut w here things grow w ithout much rain And life’s w orth living ju st the same. O ut w here the cactus m akes a show And w here th e gumbo lilies grow. The rose, the flower of th e S tate Is seen ju st o’er the garden gates. The plum and cherry grow o ut wild Though w inters are n o t alw ays mild. The place w here big potatoes grow And gardens not asham ed to show. The crops they raise are nothing sm all W hen hauled fo r shipping in th e fall. The m arkets stocked w ith cattle and sheep Corn, oats, and flax and plenty of w heat. O ut w here th e people are not proud B ut loyalty m ingles th ro u g h th e crowd. O ut w here the red-skin used to roam And w here a fellow feels a t home. — E ST E L L E MASON.

The W. A. A. The W om en’s A thletic A ssociation of the Dickinson N orm al School is one of th e la rg e st divisions of the W om en’s League. I t w as organized fo r the first tim e in the fall of 1923. B e tte r physical, m ental, and social developm ent w as chosen as th e aim of th e assoc iation. A ny m em ber of the W om an’s L eague is eligible to m em bership, upon rem ittance of a sm all fee, th is m aking it possible to carry out definite pro g ram s w ith o u t financial difficulty. A definite p rogram w as planned fo r 1924 b ut due to th e inadequacy of the A rm ory Gymnasium th e entire p rogram could not be carried out. However during the w in ter q u a rte r every other S atu rd ay afterno o n w as designated as “W. A. A. D ay” a t which tim e a basketball or baseball gam e w as played betw een different organizations of the league. This w as followed by a social hour, sponsored by one of th e divisions of th« W om en’s League. Miss H eathm an, th e physical tra in in g in stru cto r, assists in planning m any in te restin g good tim es fo r th e organization. The W. A. A. team s of B asket, Base, and Volley Ball are planning a to u rn am en t fox th e S pring Q u arter when we w ill occupy th e “Building on th e H ill.” There, the N orm al team s will have access to both gym nasium and exercise rooms a t an y tim e. A plan w hereby, recognition of different athletic achievem ents m ay be made, is being form ulated fo r 1924-25. The W. A. A. hopes in the fu tu re , to- have le tte rs aw arded to its m em bers fo r honors gained in ath letic events. N ext year, school team s will be organized fo r th e different sports. Games w ith neighboring schools as w ell as in te r group gam es will be scheduled. The tennis court will afford a sp o rt w hich th e W. A. A. will welcome. The gym nasium in the new building w ill do much fo r the school, n ot only along a th letic lines, but will also prom ote a b e tte r school sp irit.

The New Gym On approaching- the new N orm al B uilding one does not really appreciate largeness of the building until he has entered th e auditorium ; then, w hen he realizes th a t the auditorium is also a gym nasium , he can really begin to ap p reciate P resid en t M ay’s e a rn est efforts in securing fo r th e Slope people th e b est th a t could be obtained. The Gymnasium proper, or th e big gym, is th e stag e of the auditorium . The floor of th is consists of a rec tan g u la r space eigthy feet by forty-five fe e t w ith an additional segm ent of 400 square feet. As fo r the ceiling, well, “th e sk y ’s th e lim it.” The need fo r this gym is readily seen. N o rth D akota requires physical education in h er schools. F o r th is reason the gym fulfills a two fold function. I t supplies a place fo r th e needed exercises as required by law and it also furnishes a place in which the prospective teach er m ay acquire a know ledge of th e various gam es th a t can be used in any school in w hich he or she m ay teach. F o r th is reason th e rectan g u la r space is m arked off fo r various gam es. The m ajor sport, basketball, is m arked off w ith black lines w ith a playing space sixty-seven fee t by th irty -e ig h t feet. The side lines are th ree fe e t fro m any obstruc tion, th e end lines are seven feet from any obstruction. The backgrounds are suspended from the ra fte rs and braced firm ly to th e w alls. The volley ball court is m arked in blue and is th irty fee t by f ifty feet. The indoor baseball diamond is m arked in red, the tennis court, in w hite; th e handball court in green. In any contest in w hich these courts are used, or in any ath letic exhibition, the spectators are seated in the auditorium proper. The seats will be com fortable opera chairs; these th e re su lt of our unique “C hair D rive.” B ut w hat is a gym w ithout dressing room s ? These are located in tie rs below the stage. The two fo r the girls are on the south side, th e two fo r the boys are on th e n o rth side. No more w ill we h ea r the cries, “W here’s my gym sh o e s?” “W here’s m y gym s u it? ” fo r here are lockers fo r everything. In connection w ith each dressing room are th e show ers. In stead of, “Hey! Chuck! h u rry up w ith th a t show er,” it will be, “ Come on, boys, th e w a te r’s fine.” Between th e tw o low er dressing rooms is th e little gym. This is fo rty fe e t by fifty feet. W ith th e aid of the little gym , two classes in physical education can be held a t th e sam e tim e. The various gam es can be held here also. There is still another fe a tu re of th e little gyrm This is also our social room, a place fo r our school p arties, dances, receptions, and an y en tertain m en ts of clubs or societies. A m ore ideal spot fo r th is could n ot be found. The doors to th e dressing rooms p erm it any sta g in g of acts, classic dances or stu n ts. Then, too, when the “F eeds,” are in order, a door leads into th e cafeteria w here all th e conveniences fo r giving a banquet can be obtained.

Foreword W ords, spoken or w ritte n , are but th e incarnation of ideas. Ideas are born, like hum an beings, in an incomplete and very im m ature state. I t is th e function of expresÂ sion to com plete and p erfec t ideas and b rin g them to m a tu rity . U nless we form the h ab it of giving expression to our ideas in conversation, in our daily w ork, in a rt, in music, or in lite ra tu re , we m ust go thro u g h life repeatedly discovering th a t w h at we have vaguely thought, felt, or believed has been thought, felt, or believed by some one else and he has bro u g h t his idea to m a tu rity by giving it expression in some concrete form w hile w e have allowed ours to rem ain embrionic. Thus, we p erm it our souls to become dw arfed and shriveled. The L ite ra ry D epartm ent of P ra irie Smoke stands as an open opportunity to Slope N orm al Students to give one kind of expression to w hatever ideas they have th a t give prom ise of cleverness, beauty, or tru th .

The Chair Drive M a rg a re t Rendahl In 1921 th e legislatu re appro p riated $240,000.00 fo r the erection of th e m ain build ing of th e N orm al School a t Dickinson. W hen the building w as well under w ay P re si dent May saw th a t the floor space w as inadequate. He m ade a trip to B ism arck to appeal fo r m ore funds. The legislature, deeming it im possible to m ake an ap p ro p ria tion, refused his plea. He w as not to be daunted; he m ade rep eated efforts, finally reaping his rew ard. An appropriation of $60,000 w as g ranted. The gain w as not w ith out a sacrifice; it w as necessary to fo rfe it th e $19,000 w hich had fo rm erly been appro priated fo r furnishings. The building now alm ost com plete is one of th e finest in th e state. B ut had it not been fo r th e u n tirin g efforts of P resid en t M ay in th e appropriation stru g g le, th is m ag nificent stru ctu re would not have the large A uditorium and th e G ym nasium w hich were m ade possible by th e $60,000 extra. B ut w h a t w as to be done about furnish in g s ? There w as no money fo r th a t and m oreover none could be had until th e legislatu re convened in 1925. This w as th e g rea t problem confronting th e school. A m eeting w as called and a fte r th a t a general A ssem bly fo r th e facu lty and student body. The problem had been p a rtia lly solved by th e suggestion of a Dickinson citizen. P resident M ay presented this m an’s solution of seatin g th e A uditorium a t th is A ssem bly fo r the approval of all concerned. The plan seemed a feasible one and i t w as decid ed th a t the en tire Slope country be canvassed fo r chairs. A general com m ittee, consisting of th ree facu lty m em bers and two Dickinson citi zens, outlined th e cam paign. O pera se at prices w ere discussed, a five-dollar chair be ing chosen. The follow ing S atu rd ay w as selected as th e opening day of th e b ig drive. On th a t S aturday, F eb ru ary the ninth, th e student body assem bled a t the E lks Building, the pioneer home of the Slope N orm al, to receive instructions fo r the d ay’s w ork. P ro fes sor Griebel w as in charge of the assem blage and had it form ed in squads. The proces sion w as headed by the A m erican flag, followed by th e drum m ers and a fife. One had only to close his eyes to im agine him self back in th e days of ’76; th is cause w as differ ent, however, as th e banners showed. I t dem onstrated th e sp irit of “ 1924.” “ C hairs” w as on every banner and on the lips of every student. The very ground echoed the w ords “Chairs, Chairs, We need 800 C hairs.” The parade m arched through the h e a rt of the business section, then th ro u g h the E a s t Side residence section, South Dickinson, and back to th e E lks Building. The can vassers w ere then alloted th eir various sections and began w ork imm ediately. The students of the various school organizations served lunches, sold candy, and became tem porary seam stresses and bootblacks, donating th e ir p ro fits to th e “ Chair D rive.” The R otarians, The Business and P rofessional W om en’s Club, The Royal N eighbors, The G et-to-G ether Club, The Com munity Ladies, and the Maccabees showed th e ir cooperative sp irit by adding to th e ch air fund. B u t it is n o t only th e Dickinson people who have cooperated in th is unique drive; chair donations have come from p rac tically every p a r t of the Slope region. This shows the appreciation of th e people of this section o f a m agnificent N orm al Building. The nam e of every donar of a chair is to be inscribed on an H onor Roll which will be placed in th e new A uditorium . This H onor Roll will stan d fo r ages to come as a m emento of this school’s infancy. The student body of th e n ex t g eneration m ay then recall the stru g g le of th e school and realize ju s t w h at it has cost the ta x payers of this section. This school is w h at it is today because of the undaunted efforts of our P re si dent and the people who' are and have been v itally in terested in its gro w th and success.

W H EN M Y SHIP COMES IN “W hen my ship comes in, I ’l l --------- ” “W hat ship, D addy?” Sometimes it takes th e child’s sim ple direct questions to b rin g us face to face w ith tr u th and reality. As an antidote fo r the vagueness, th e indefiniteness and p ro crasti nation we adults so frequently engage in, th ere is nothing b e tte r th a n th e sm all child’s simple directness and vigorous persistence fo r details. W hat ship? H ave I any r ig h t to expect a ship to come in ? H ave I launched a ship ? We all speak so lightly of our ship’s com ing in. If we a re honest w ith o u r selves, however, down deep in our h ea rts we are m ore serious th a n our m anner indicates; fo r we do, every one of us look forw ard w ith a vague so rt of hope to th e tim e when our ship will come in. Then, we believe, we will be influential, we w ill be pow erful, we will be kind and generous, we will help th e needy and relieve suffering. W hy vaguely long and w istfully hope ? Does not reason plainly tell us th a t if we are ever to have a ship coming in, we m u st launch one, and the sooner we launch it th e sooner it m ay come in ? “W hat kind of a ship, D ad d y ?” W hat kind of a ship, indeed! Reason also- plainly tells up th a t th e kind of a ship th a t comes in depends on th e kind we launch. Our secret hope is th a t when our ship comes in it w ill be a good one, a m agnificent one. If we p u t out only lig h t little cra fts, m ere canoes, th a t m ust stay close by th e shore and dare not brave th e storm s of the deep, we cannot expect th a t when our ship comes in it will be a fine b ig ship of th e kind th a t does the w orld’s work. I f we p u t out a p irate ship, driven by selfish purpose to prey and to plunder, to g et a t any cost, we dare n o t hope th a t when our ship comes in it will be th e kind th a t m inisters to hum anity ’s needs, m aking th is a b rig h te r and b etter place to live in. “W here did it go, D ad d y ?” Ah, there, I am caught again. I had not th o u g h t of th a t. I f it is a good ship, it should go to th e innerm ost p a rts of th e ea rth and to th e innerm ost recesses of life. I t should go to the needy. I t should go to th e heavy-laden and help them b ear th e ir burdens. I t should go to th e sad and cheer them . I t should go to th e dow n-hearted and encourage them .

O ur W om en’s League L isten, my readers, and you shall hear Of the W om en’s League of th is school year. ’T.was the la st of October in T w enty Three W hen Miss U hland, our Dean, efficient is she, Planned the organization of our League to be. In A ssem bly th a t week, Miss U hland did tell How our P re sid en t would be our dear Anabel. We divided this League into groups of five, And as you will see they a re much alive. The first group form ed w as “Stickney H all” Who played th e “W orkers” in basketball. “L ight H ousekeepers” came not f a r behind, “B oarding” and “Home G irls” we also find. F rances cam e forw ard w ith a friendly h e a rt The Big S ister m ovem ent th en to s ta rt; W hen new girls came to school to live A Big S ister to each, “D utch” would give. M arian, athletic and ready fo r play, W as elected P residen t of th e W. A. A. Anne Shaw patien tly collected term dues, And m ade us m arvel a t w h at q u arte rs would do. The first F rid a y n ig h t of each q u arte r we live A Student M ixer w e alw ays help to give; The first w as given early in the F all, And soon each stu d e n t w as known by all. Our program s in A ssem bly surely w ere fine; We learned about O rganization of Time. A very good one, if not th e best, W|as “H ealth and A ppearance” by the “Triple S.” A nother enjoyable one, you bet, W as th e one concerning Miss E. T. Q uette. The Council oft m et and worked hard, too, Deciding questions of why and who. The Home Girls entertain ed w ith “Mr. P ep ” I t w as here these cooks m ade th e ir rep. A nd now, m y readers, I ’m ce rtain you’ll see W h at a success the League proves to be; F o r it aids us all in every w ay A nd solves our questions day by day; And, you’ll surely find if you look about The L eague’s been a pleasure w ithout a doubt. — I.

When they got to his rume, he make a fire ‘N’ started to cooke a mele; He got sum spuds ‘n ’ a fry in ’ pan, ‘N ’ then he started to peel. He sliced the spuds in the F ry in ’ pan ‘N ’ forgot to use eny salt, The spuds was b urnt and the eggs was raw, But he cuddent find eny fault. That nite as he lay in agony He thought of home sweet hom e; So he packed his trunk, with all his junk, And now ends this famous pome. — WADE GUSTIN English III Class— Miss Bushey, trying to bring out the fact th a t Shakespeare m arried Anne Hathway, who was eight years his senior: “W hat was there unusual about Shakespeare’s m ar riage ?” Bobby: “They had tw ins!” Brown: I don’t know any more jokes but there ARMOUR.
