J-

To him who has given so unselfishly of his tim e and energy fo r the im provem ent of Dickinson S tate N orm al, to him whose ideals of service have been instilled into th e v ery sp irit of the school, to him whose loyalty has been a co n stan t inspiration to those who have been privileged to know himâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; to Charles E. Scott, do we respectfully dedicate this, the 1927 P ra irie Smoke.

GREETIN G S You who have gone before us A nd are now in the sea of life, W ith your tossing ship on th e rolling waves In a continuous strife. To you who have led th e way And have reached your d istan t goal; You who have helped to m ake life b rig h te r As onw ard th e seasons roll. You You You And

who have aided us, helped us; who have trodden our steps; who have shown your in te rest; you w ho m ay come to us yet.

I t is May Give And

to you w e offer this “A nnual.” it fond mem ories recall; you perchance a b it of am usem ent extend our best g reetin g s to all. G.

K IN D N ESS K indness, my friend, is a b eau tifu l rose T h at grow s in the g arden of love; I t seems to me like a w ind th a t blows G ently from H eaven above. I t alw ays brings joy in th e place of tears, And m akes th e burdened h e a rt glad; You will welcome it down th ro u g h the m isty years In hours th a t are troubled and sad. Kindness seems like the silver moonbeam T hat shines on a saddened face; Somehow it m akes th e road ahead gleam And lightens life’s hard race. K indness is much like th e glorious ray s Of a beautiful se ttin g sun; Its light seems to shine in th e scattered w ays Of men who w alk alone. Kindness, m y friend, is not purchased w ith gold, I t w as th y God given p a rt, I t is a trea su re which thou should’st hold Preciously dear to th y h eart. — Grace Adams.

And in th e en try behind th e door Lovers m ay stand fo r an hour or more. Now open th e door and ascend the stair, T here seem to be girls everyw here, In th e music room th e y p lay and sing “Baby E y es” or some such thing. Some sit in the p arlo r and sim ply ch at A bout a beau or a stu n n in g new h at. O thers sit alone and ap p e ar to dream , B ut above all M other D rum reig n s suprem e. H ark! The sound of a bell you hear. F rom every door m ore g irls ap p ear Thin and fa,t, larg e and tall, T hey ru sh down th e sta irs and into th e hall. A bell is tinkled, the voices a re stilled F o r a m om ent; then the room is filled W ith c h a tte r and la u g h ter as th e y e a t th e m eal P rep ared fo r them by Lydia Thiele. I ’d picture fo r you th e study hour B ut feel th a t it isn ’t w ithin m y power. Then it wouldn’t be f a ir to th e other m aids To publish th e study hour escapades.

TH E M ESSAGE OF TH E BU TTES S tretching across th e horizon, like th e te n ts of some lonely arm y expedition or like sentinels guard in g th e outposts of civilization, the b u tte s stan d boldly outlined in th e early tw ilight. O verlooking the w anderings of men and th e ir ea rth ly stru g g les, how sm all and insignificant it all m ust seem. H ere th ey have w atched fo r centuries w ith the process of civilization going on a t th e ir fe e t and no p icture has changed th e ir ex pression. Their eyes saw the coming of the red m an and th e buffalo and they have w it nessed the exterm ination of both unmoved. The creak of th e ox c a rt and th e covered wagon found them silent. A t th e shriek of th e steam engine and, as th e antelope and the deer fled before the “w hite w ave”, th ey held th e ir peace. S tanding as m onum ents in th is vale of tim e, they speak ever to m an of tim e and etern ity and point us to our ever n earin g end. In S pring Time, covered w ith th e v erd an t green of th e g rasses and the beauty of th e flow ers, th ey b reathe the hopes of youth and a fu tu re life in a world beyond; in Sum m er standing like a gleaner am id fields of golden g rain s, th ey speak to us of indu stry and the dream s and am bitions of manhood; in A utum n, clothed in a cloak of brown, they w hisper of an honorable life w ell spent, approaching its end; and in W inter hooded in a shroud of white, they rem ind us of th e nobility of old age and a life th a t is closed. A lw ays pointing upw ards in a world of much bowing and bending, th ey ty p ify th a t u p rig h t character, which lifts them above the level of th e common country. On th e ir sum m its r e s t th e m assive stones th a t have enabled them to w ith stand the storm and th e gale, like some g re a t tru th s to w hich th ey have clung and which have held them erect despite th e vicissitudes of tim e. A t th e ir fe e t is spread the debris of th e ir life, w ashed aw ay by th e w ate rs and winds of fate , leaving them stripped, erect, and clean, like some life th a t rises above its im purities and its e a rth iness. A t evening, the sun’s la st rays lin g er lovingly on th eir sum m its and crown them w ith a blaze of glory and early tw ilig h t droops them w ith a m an tle of pu rp le haze. H ere th e firs t ray s of the early m orning sun come to e a rth and th ey shine fo rth as a beacon to guide m ankind, a rock in a w eary land, never changing frien d and an ever p resen t counselor. ’Round them shriek the winds of the w in ter to intim idate b u t they yield n ot; over them play the soft zephyrs of the sp rin g tim e to tem p t b u t th ey h ear not; burning and hot is th e wind of the sum m er to suppress them b u t th ey stand u n yielding, as u p rig h t and unchanging as w hen th e s ta rry decked heavens bend over them and w hisper th e ir wisdom and encouragem ent. A t every tim e and season of the year, they speak th e ir m essage to fa lte rin g m an and he lifts his eyes from th e sod and is strong, he is chastised and despised but is unchanged and he sees a new glory in life and reads b etter th e m essage of his C reato r w hich has been w ritte n w ith th e fin g er of H is hand.

1927 — A CES OF D. S. N. — 1927 The “A ces” w ere selected by alm ost unanim ous agreem ent of five m em bers of the Faculty. They w ere selected on the basis of scholarship, leadership, initiative, in te re st and p articipation in student activities, attitu d e tow ard th e ir w ork and the school, and excellence in some p a rtic u la r line of achievem ent. In th is group are to be found ex p ert teachers who will do credit to D. S. N. w herever they go. The lim it of th e ir success in teaching depends upon T horndyke’s finding more psychology to apply. You will find public speakers and d ebaters who have won th eir laurels. B ryan died ju st in tim e to save his reputation. If he had known w h at speakers D. S. N. w as producing th is year, he would have died a h eartb ro k en man. You will find an able editor, an excellent reader, and a splendid m usician, and seven all-round, A -l students. Cease w orrying about the W orld’s W ork. We know now who will do it; fo r w hen ever th e re is som ething to be done an Ace will be there to do it. A m erica’s fu tu re fo r th e n ex t few years is safe.

The Home Economics Club was f ir s t organized in 1923 u nder the nam e of T riple S Club. A t th e opening of th is school y ea r the club changed its nam e to Home Economics Club. The club consists of m em bers of th e home economics classes and an y other students who are interested in home economics. The purpose of the club is to raise th e ideals of A m erican hom e-m aking. The m em bers believe th a t th e study of home problem s m ay be m ade of no less cu ltural value th a n th e study of histo ry or lite ra tu re and of much more im m ediate value. The m eetings w ere held reg u larly in the gym and th e g irls enjoyed luncheon to gether, a f te r which w as held the business m eeting.

D EPA RTM EN T OF FO R EIG N LANGUAGES We have a d epartm ent of F oreign L anguages a t th e S tate N orm al School. E very college stu d e n t can ta k e a course in F rench or G erm an— or in both. And, in fact, there are some who really do it. W hy do these stu d en ts spend eig h t o r te n hours a week on a subject th a t has no rea l practical use in everyday life ? F o r you can do alm ost everything th a t occurs in modern life w ithout know ing G erm an declensions or French irre g u la r verbs. W hy, then, are those stu d en ts exceptions to th e g en eral rule of tak in g it easy and why do they p e rsist in coming to a class w here th e y have to study and think a g re a t deal ? I thought it b est to ask them and here is w h at they answ ered: “I ta k e F rench because it is one of the b est b rain developers, it teaches clear thinking and aids to fin d out g ram m ar construction in our lan g u ag e; it broadens one’s view point” ; “I fe lt th a t I w as m issing som ething by not being able to read F rench phrases in sto rie s” ; “I believe it w ill be a g re a t b en efit to me w hen I teach English. I am also interested in th e custom s and life of other countries, th e study of languages enables one to learn about them .” “I t is one of th e leading languages of today and will be beneficial in trav elin g in other countries” ; “because of th e pleasure I derive in reading F rench lite ra tu re and broadening my knowledge of F rench people; because it will be helpful to my a r t studies.” “I like th e language and w an t to be able to speak and understand it and read it easily and readily; because you g e t much more from the original th a n from the tra n sla tio n of F rench fam ous w orks; because if I trav e l in Europe, the knowledge of F rench would m ake m y sojourn much more enjoyable.” “I take German because so m any people who have studied it told me th a t it w as in te restin g ; because th is locality is one especially suited fo r th e study of G erm an.” “I t has broadened my vision of some of the peoples and th e countries of E urope besides giving me a knowledge of G erm an.” “H aving some know ledge of G erm an I w anted to learn m ore.” “The stories we read in G erm an give us an idea of th e life and custom s in foreign countries. This helps us to understand those people and tends to m ake us m ore broad-m inded.” “The study of languages is of special in te re st fo r me; I have g otten a good deal out of G erm an.” “The study of L ichtenstein has revealed to me much about the custom s and life of the people in southern G erm any during the Medie val Age, th a t history did not.” You th o u g h t th a t all these students w ere ta k in g a language course ju s t to g e t a credit, but you w ill know by now th a t th ey have m any good and sound reasons fo r studying F rench or German. The rea l and m ost im p o rta n t m otive th ey did n o t tell you, m aybe it is not so clear even to them selves, b u t I found it o ut clearly and un m istakably, in w atching th e ir effo rts and th e ir progress. They w an t to do m ore th an th e everyday, easy thing, to be prepared fo r som ething h ig h er th an p ractical common life. And th is a ttitu d e points them out as those who w ill be th e leaders—those who w ill ca rry on th e ideals of hum anity.

EN GLISH The E nglish D epartm ent of the Dickinson S tate N orm al School w as f ir s t organized in 1918 under the supervision of Miss Grace H aag, who rem ained in charge of th e w ork until the w inter q u a rte r of 1923. D uring th is period others who assisted in th is departm ent were Miss M artha E m ery and Miss J a n e t H ospers. Both of these in stru cÂ tors left the N orm al in 1921. In th a t year Miss D aisey Busbey w as elected to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Miss H ospers. In the w in ter q u arte r of 1923, Miss H aag resigned and Miss Busbey w as p u t in h er place. Miss Olive P etrash ek of Idaho was elected as an a ssista n t b u t rem ained only until th e close of th e year. In 1924 Mrs. Florence V oraschek w as elected to tak e charge of th e voice w ork and public speaking departm ent. Mrs. H arve Robinson of Dickinson w as elected in 1925 as an assista n t in stru cto r, and upon the resign atio n of Mrs. V oraschek in A pril, 1926, Miss M atilda Stoxen, a t p rese n t librarian, was chosen to fill h er place. The E nglish w ork of the Dickinson S tate N orm al falls n atu ra lly into th ree classes, nam ely, th e Ju n io r College w ork, Professional w ork and H igh School work. Miss Busbey has charge of the Ju n io r College and Professional E nglish and Mrs. Robinson of the H igh School classes. Miss Stoxen, Mrs. P a rk e r and Mrs. Lonbaken assisted by teaching an occasional class. The Ju n io r College E nglish is planned to duplicate as n early as possible the F reshm an ar.d Sophomore y ears of E nglish as th ey are given in th e S tate U niversity. The F reshm an y ear consists of rhetoric and composition and the Sophomore y ear of a Survey course of the principal types of lierature. The P rofessional E nglish is designed to give prospective teach ers a more thorough foundation in th e content of all phases of E nglish w ork which th ey will be obliged to teach in the elem entary schools. The H igh School E nglish is organized so th a t the same w ork is given which is ta u g h t in the H igh Schools of th e S tate. A class in Minimum E ssentials of E nglish has been organized. An entrance exam ination is given. I f a student fails he m ust take the course in Minimum E ssentials firs t. In addition to the required w ork in English, p ractical tra in in g and application are afforded thro u g h particip atio n in various ex tra -c u rric u lar activities. The Slope Teacher, the N orm al School paper, the D ram atic Club and a v arie ty of inter-scholastic contests provide much valuable tra in in g in English.

TH E M ANUAL ARTS D EPA RTM EN T The M anual A rts D epartm ent is a v ery lively one, as everyone who has been enrolled in th a t departm en t knows. I t is fu ll of students, planes, try -sq u ares, saws, tu rn in g lathes, and a fierce m an-eating buzz saw, besides all th e p ain t and varnish th a t give color and brig h tn ess to the w onderful creations w hich are th e re s u lt of much prolonged activity of the above factors.

Mr. H arding gives us a h earty welcome and a cheery smile as we en ter to observe classes in H andw ork, A rt F ibre, Shop W ork, M anual T raining and M echanical D raw ing. As a re su lt of so much activ ity th e re are sure to be some instances th a t leave th e ir im press. This is w hat we heard in A rt F ibre: Miss E. K .: “Is this the rig h t screw d riv er to u s e ? ” Mr. Alvin H.: “No, th a t’s a chisel.” Miss E. K. (looking ra th e r s u rp ris e d ): “Oh.” In H and W ork: The project w as a sm all basket ju s t under construction. The m ost popular question rela tin g to it w as: “Mr. H anson, is th is r ig h t? ” Mr. H .: “Well— .” In Shop W ork: F ra n k M., n ex t to te ars, “How can I fix th is ? ” (A fte r breaking his fo u rth bud vase.)

We crossed th e hall to th e M echanical D raw ing room. varnished faces, so we expected som ething advanced.

Im m ediately Mr. S w ift selected th e glassw are, chemicals and ap p a ratu s needed and g o t them here on tim e so th a t everything w ent on fine. Our lab oratory is an ideal w orkshop in which 32 stu d en ts m ay w ork a t th e same tim e. A lthough g re a t progress has been m ade th e d ep artm en t head is striv in g to keep up the good w ork and we hope th a t more students w ill enroll in the w ork and take advantage of the opportunity aw aitin g them there. I t is hoped th a t n ex t y ea r g as will be installed. The plum bing fo r the fix tu res is already in. W ith these additional fix tu res everything will be in p erfect w orking order. T aking a glance back over w h at has happened th e la st two years, we feel quite proud of our accom plishm ent b u t nevertheless th e re is much le ft to be done and the sky is th e lim it.

COMMERCIAL A m erica is a nation of com mercial leadership. The field of business today is a ttra c tin g m any of the cleverest and b est train ed m inds of our country. Because so m any young people w ish to en ter business w ith specific train in g , th e N orm al School has offered fo r m any y ears a Business d ep artm en t to Slope Students. E very q u a rte r th e re are beginning classes in shorthand, bookkeeping, and ty p eÂ w riting. A tw o y ear course is given in Bookkeeping consisting of five sets of books and supplem entary sets if more are desired. The shorthand and ty p ew ritin g course can be com pleted in tw o years. A t th e end of th e f ir s t y ear th e student is required to w rite new m aterial on the ty p e w riter a t th e speed of fo rty w ords p e r m inute, and he is expected to ta k e dictation a t eig h ty w ords p e r ' m inute. The stan d ard s fo r advanced students are raised to fifty -fiv e w ords in ty p ew ritin g and one hundred tw enty-five w ords in shorthand. L ast y ear students w orking for Advanced C ertificates w ere allowed to tak e th eir electives in the Commercial departm ent. I f th ey finished th is required w ork these students are g ranted certificates to teach com mercial subjects. Through the course accuracy is given a precedence over speed, b ut both are necessary facto rs in th e accom plishm ent of successful stenography. Because of the m any new fields th a t are opening to th e young men and women of today, th ey should g rasp every opportunity to advance and specialize in a life work.

EDUCATION Of course every buddy knows th a t education’s th e m ost im p o rtan t th in g in the world. I t ’s aw ful technical, too. I t ’s im p o rtan t, th a t’s w hy it is found m ostly on the th ird floor of the N orm al School. Some of it is so im p o rta n t we can’t g et it up here on the H ill a t all and th a t’s w hy we have to go down to th e C entral Building and som etim es w ay over to Roosevelt to g et it. T h a t’s also why Miss P o tts has to be there, to m ake yuh relize how im p o rtan t it is, so yuh won’t fo rg e t your lesson plans. And I say i t ’s technical, th a t’s w hy yuh g o tta have a big vocabulary to handle it. Yuh g o tta hand it to education! T h a t’s w hy yuh have to take Introduction to Education, to m ake yuh relize it. Introduction to Education is one of those courses yuh g o tta take. I t ’s one of those courses th ey alw ays ask yuh w h a tta yuh w an ta take when yuh re g iste r and then they sign yuh up fo r it w hen yuh w anted to tak e H andw ork or D ietetics and th e P ro f signs his nam e in th e sheet w hich binds the b arg ain and yuh haven’t got anything to say about it. Well, th a t’s because education is im p o rtan t and w hen yuh go to class yuh begin to relize it w hen th e P ro f begins to pull the jaw breakers on yuh and yuh leave class w ith the following w eighing on your mind: “The O BJECTIV ES of E ducation are to A D JU ST th e CH ILD ’S psychoperostic so th a t THE CHILD m ay ju stly and m agnanim ously perform all the offices propaedeutic, contingent and generic to the end th a t SOCIETY can tra n sm it the differentiated O BJECTIV ES of TH E CH ILD ’S CURRICULUM fo r the FUN CTIO N of the PU B LIC SCHOOL is th a t i t ’s g o tta do it fo r TH E CH ILD .” All of which re minds th e Prof. about th e sto ry about th e woman which swallowed a ribbon, m eaning th e pome “The N ight Before C hristm as,” the substance of which is, “I rushed to the window and th rew up the sash.” The m ore of these courses yuh take, the m ore yuh relize you never been educated and w h at an aw ful mess your teachers m ade th in k in g th ey w as educating yuh. Yuh go w ay from one of those Methods or Technique classes thinking, “If those poor, un p repared and inexperienced teachers th a t practiced on me had only known yuh g o tta begin by analyzing the subject m a tte r and TH E CHILD and th e PROBLEM and the PRO JECT w ith a A U D IE N C E SITU A TIO N to A D JU ST the TEC H N IQ U E fo r a PSYCHOLOGICAL A PPROACH so the E Y E-SPA N would SOCIALIZE the LEA R N ERS w h a tta w hiz Idabin.” If yuh think th a t’s deep stu ff, w ait till yuh tr y M easurem ents, P ractice Teaching, or E ducational Psychology.

SOCIAL SCIEN CE D EPA RTM EN T One of the h ard est things in this world is to be able to see ourselves as others see us. I f it is not th e purpose of th is d ep artm en t to teach th is virtue, it certainly is one of our principal aim s to tr y to see our own fa u lts and to study some of the rem edies fo r these m istakes. N ext to trav el th e re is m ore broad-m inded and more study of th e social sciences. folks like we are, w ith vices w rong and we rig h t.

U nder the heading of social science we would include H istory, Politics and Govern ment, Sociology, Economics and p a rts of other subjects such as Psychology, Ethics and C om parative Religion. The study of the m ost of the above subjects should also m ake one more apprecia tive of the good things th a t we have in our modern civilization. We can see how our ancestors fo u g h t and died fo r some of the th in g s th a t we are too often inclined to reg a rd as the commonplaces of everyday life. Our rig h ts and liberties, our con veniences and m aterial prosperity. These studies should also help to m aintain an optim istic outlook upon life. Since we are able to see th a t in the p a st people have m et and surm ounted unnum bered obstacles we should have fa ith th a t hum anity will be able to continue th is practice into the future.

TH E 1926-27 LYCEUM PROGRAM The Dickinson N orm al School has been very fo rtu n a te th is y ea r in obtaining as num bers on its Lyceum course, several w onderful a rtists. D uring the reg u la r school y ear five pro g ram s have been given. The Lyceum com m ittee is to be highly praised fo r its choice of num bers, both fo r the v arie ty and fo r the excellence of each program . The firs t pro g ram of th e y ea r w as a concert given on December 14 by Miss Edna Swanson Ver H aar, co ntralto; Stanley Deacon, b aritone; Miss O’Conner, h arp ist, and H ubert C arlin, pianist. E dna Swanson Ver H aar, Swedish contralto, is one of the m ost sa tisfac to ry conceit and oratorio contraltos before th e A m erican public. H er beauty is as far-fam ed as her g ift of song and th is com bination m akes h er an ac claim ed favorite everyw here she goes. S tanley Deacon, A m erican baritone, sings equally w ell in opera, oratorio, or recital, thus placing him self well to the fo re of A m erican a rtists. Miss O’Conner, who has studied th e h arp ever since she w as a sm all child proved herself to be an a r tis t of no m ean ability. Mr. Carlin displayed his ta le n t as a pian ist both in his accom panim ents and his solos. On F eb ru ary 7 and 8, th e Coffer-M iller P lay ers gave two plays, th e firs t, Sheri dan’s “The Rivals” and the second, “The Im ag in ary Invalid” by Moliere. In both plays the acting w as excellent and displayed to good advantage th e dram atic ability of each individual tak in g p a rt. Miss M iller and Jess Coffer, the directors, took the m ain p a rts in each play. Both plays w ere w ell received by those who saw them. On th e evening of M arch 7, Mr. A. L. Flude gave an illu strate d lecture on China, using la n tern slides and living models to display Chinese costumes. D uring the next two days Mr. Flude gave m any class and assem bly talks, each tim e b rin g in g som ething new to his hearers. He has traveled extensively in the O rient and in every ta lk he em phasized the fa c t th a t all people, g re a t and sm all, reg ard less of position, race, creed or nationality, are “ju s t folks.” Mr. Flude has th e ability of en tertain in g and in stru ctin g his audience a t th e sam e tim e, a ra re combination. Miss V era Poppi, cellist, appeared in a concert M arch 28. Miss Poppi, although she w as born in South A m erica, is of R ussian descent. She has studied in the London C onservatory of Music under m any fam ous m usicians. Miss Poppi charm ed h er audience by h er w onderful playing as well as by h er old-fashioned sim plicity and m odesty. George Liebling, p ia n ist and composer, gave th e la st num ber of th e Lyceum num bers of th e school year, w ith a concert on A pril 28. Mr. Liebling has come to A m erica only recently, but has made a decided success, fo r press com m ents prove him to be as a pianist, “inspiring,” “a poet,” “a m a ste r of his in stru m en t.” He is honored in London, Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Leipzig, and in Italy , and he has the distinction of being the youngest pupil of Liszt. He is, indeed, a m a ste r pianist. There will be one p rogram during the sum m er te rm — a concert by Em il Rosseau, dram atic tenor, on June 20. The N orm al School is very glad th a t it has th e privilege of giving to the people of Dickinson th e opportunity of hearing such pro g ram s as have been p u t on th is year. They feel well repaid fo r the tim e and money spent, by th e evident appreciation of th e h earers of th e program s:

PICTURE

OF THE

POW -W OW

TH E IND IA N POW -W OW (As told by one of th e Stickney H all inm ates) On the eve of F eb ru ary the tw elfth I w as deeply engrossed in read in g Black B eauty, a very touching negro story, when my room m ate came b u rstin g in and snatching my precious Indian b lanket began to “Ki Yi! Ki Y i!” about th e room. G reatly alarm ed and fea rin g fo r her san ity I dashed a g lass of cold w ate r over her brow. A fter some m om ents she came to and greeted me w arm ly w ith a p a ir of book ends. “You h a lf wit! W hy th e A pril sh o w ers?” she yelled a t me. V ery calm and collected, I dem anded an explanation of her conduct. “ Pow-wow! Pow-wow!” w as all she could say. Stupidly I gazed a t her, and then I rem em bered. F o r the next h alf hour things fa irly flew around th e Dorm. Everyone w as looking fo r blankets and feath ers and red and yellow paint. I do not know w h eth er I looked like an Indian or ju st a m ess; b u t I felt “Ind ian y ” anyw ay. V ery quietly we stole to th e auditorium and joined the others about th e open fire. A tall young brave wdth wild eyes rose from behind me. I stifled a cry. I t w as Mr. Scott. Squaw s and chiefs and braves kept coming a ttire d in w ar dance costumes, in blankets, and fe a th e rs; w ith papooses on th e ir backs, tom ahaw ks in hand and deadly-looking weapons. My blood ran cold and ju s t th en someone b ea t th e tom -tom and the w ar dance started . Oh, it w as thrilling! Soon I, too, w as K i-Y i’ing about th e fire and w hen it came tim e fo r th e Squaw Dance, bum ping elbows w ith my neighbors I discovered Squaw Somers on my left and one of the D ohrm an trib e on m y rig h t. Glancing furtively behind him an old chief stalked am ong th e crowd. H ad he been scalped? Or w as it P u rtee ? The yelling died down. The tom -tom ceased and all th e savages sa t down to re s t th e ir w eary bones. Spokesm an H ard in g of the trib e came fo rw ard to introduce the Big Chief, the handsom est Indian I e’e r have seen. Big Chief g ru n ted som ething (it sounded Indian anyw ay). Suddenly Bad M an gave a blood-curdling cry th a t echoed throughout th e building! Before I knew w h at had happened all th e braves w ere yelling and running in every direction. In desperation I clutched th e n earest squaw and eyed w ith am azem ent the cap tu re of th e culprits. One by one these of fenders w ere brought to th e trib e ; th e y had failed to don th e trib a l robes and w ere to be punished! I fe lt m yself blushing a deep cerise— some of th e braves w ere very much “as they are.” The to rtu re s followed. How I ever lived to see a m an devour a mouse or a fro g is more than I can fathom . The second degree w as th e b lanket punishm ent, w ith cries of m ercy filling the hall. In the la st degree th e victim s w ere compelled to run the gauntlet. McCain had been th e f ir s t to be adopted into th e trib e and w ith b re a th less h o rro r the squaws w itnessed the tria l of the others. A fte r the la st m an had been to rtu red , Squaw H arriso n presen ted a token to th e honored w inners: Medicine Man, alias Carol Steen, and Big Chief, alias D an F itzloff. The g re a t fe a st w as prepared. I had a notion squaws p arta k e h ea rtily of food, so I did. The snake fan g s w ere especially ta sty . S. H. ru les req u ire all inm ates in by 2 a. m.; M other D rum found me sleeping peacefully a t 3 a. m.— dream ing of m assacres and pow'-wows.

U nder Miss S m ith’s direction the O rchestra has proved an indispensable p a r t of school life, playing on all im p o rta n t occasions— assem bly p ro g ram s, school p a rty program s, p relim inary to th e Flude lectures, before and betw een acts of the CofferMiller dram atic productions, filling in as a very necessary and im p o rtan t p a rt of the Cue Club’s play and the Choral Club operetta, advertising th e school a t N ew E ngland and elsew here, and playing fo r th e general public of D ickinson on the occasion of the St. Cecelia Club annual concert in th e E lk s’ auditorium downtown. The ea rn est and unflagging zeal of both players and leader deserves and has the com mendation of th e en tire student body and faculty, who hope fo r th e successful continuance of the O rchestra and of the Band as well.

W hat are your hobbies and diversions ? “M otorcycling and reading,” w as his p rom pt reply. H ave you a nicknam e? “Yes, Dick.” W hat unusual incident has happened to you? He w alked to the window, turned and smiled— th e question evidently bringing back hum orous m em ories— then said, “Riding down a coal railro ad in a bucket.” W hat is your g re a te st am bition ? “To be editor of Time.” W hat do you think the modern g irl of 1940 will be like ? “She’ll be all rig h t if she’s as good as the 1927.” Do you think bobbed h a ir w ill ever go out of style ? “No, the g irl of today has too much sense.” W hat will D. S. N. be like in 1950? “The enrollm ent w ill be 500. T here w ill be a boys’ dorm itory. The tw igs on the campus will be trees if it rains. The ash pile on the campus will be rem oved.” (R ep o rter’s N ote: H is fav o rite expression — “Ye Gods” .) Blanche Lillibridge, president of the college freshm an class, w as found in th e re st room. She answ ered the re p o rte r’s questions as follows: “My hobbies and diversions are talk in g and club w ork or sp o rts.” “My nicknam e is ‘Ba Lill.’ ” “My m ost thrillin g incident w as w inning th e sta te declam atory contest a t Grand F ork s.” “My g re a te st am bition is to see th e footlights of B roadw ay.” “The m odern g irl of 1950 will excel all others. She will be g re a te r th an all men th a t ever lived. They shall be p u t to sleep by h er brilliancy. She shall have the persuasion of Cleopatra, th e courage of Jo a n of Arc, and th e pep of Carol Steen.” “Bobbed h air will never go out of style because w om an’s crow ning glory is not her h air b u t h e r b rain s.” “D. S. N. in 1950 will be a howling success.” Mrs. Hamm el, president of th e senior high school class, w hen interview ed, gave the follow ing statem ents: “My hobbies and diversions are keeping house and hand p ain tin g .” “The m ost th rillin g incident th a t ever happened to me w as the tim e Mr.Ham m el tried to m ake a broncho tw ister out of me.” “My g re a te st am bition is to earn enough money to trav el and to have a nice home.” “I don’t think bobbed h air will go out of style, it is too convenient.” “D. S. N. in 1950 will have a new dorm itory fo r the girls. The old one will be come a m en’s dorm itory. There w ill be no h igh school d ep artm en t.”

IN 1927 One fine day in M ay we tu rn ed on th e cu rren t and sta rte d fo r th e Dickinson S tate N orm al in our electro-travel plane. I t w as only a m a tte r of th ir ty m inutes be fore we caught a glim pse of our beloved A lm a M ater, although th e m eter showed a trip of 2,100 miles. Landing a t th e special landing p la t located on th e top of the school building, we le ft our plane and stood fo r a few m om ents adm iring th e e x tra ordinary speed w ith which the students w ere moving about on th e cam pus below. You know th a t the A m ericans, w hen th ey a re n ot rid in g or sailing, have adopted a jo g -tro t movement since it is such a w aste of tim e to walk. T ruly the school has changed since we w ere here in 1927. The buildings covered several blocks and w ere m any stories high, but, as we soon discovered, th is caused no inconvenience or loss of tim e. Everyone is provided w ith electric “chaises” and by pushing th e destination buttons you are tak en anyw here in the buildings. We firs t decided to see Pres. May, and a snap, and a w h irr—we w ere there. He w as in the m idst of a h ea rty welcome w hen an inquisitive m em ber of our p a rty acci dentally touched a button and w ith a w hizz we w ere bound fo r some o th er place. In a short tim e we rolled into P rofessor Scott’s psychological laboratory. He w as in the m idst of an intelligence te st. The students passed in review before him and a glance a t th e ir faces sufficed to give him th e ir m ental m easurem ents w hich were then recorded by an autom atic electric machine. Not w ishing to be included in th e te s t we hurriedly pushed an o th er button and a second la ter, w hirled into Mr. P u rte e ’s classroom. We found him engrossed in explaining to his class, th e changes in our laws, th a t w ere necessary before the la st election w hen H elen G earey w as elected president of the U nited S tates. Since we cared little about politics we moved again and were soon interview ing Miss P otts. W ith a satisfied smile she inform ed us of her process by w hich p erfect teachers are evolved. V isiting Mr. S w ift n ext we were told of a recen t scientific experim ent in which hum an life was lengthened indefinitely w ith o u t the use of monkey glands. We searched in vain fo r Miss H arriso n b u t we were la te r inform ed th a t she had ju st le ft fo r M a rs! I t w as a surp risin g th in g th a t w ith th e w onderful civilization they have up th e re th a t th ey had never before had any knowledge of music. (M iss H arrison was sent up to m ake sure th a t only th e b est was introduced into th a t super-m arvelous sphere.) We visited teachers old and new, and w ere fa irly bew ildered w ith th e uncanny efficiency and intelligence evident everywhere. Upon hearing th a t the college education of the p a s t is considered m erely a prim ary step in education, we began to debate am ong ourselves about retu rn in g to school. We decided to investigate th e one rem aining d ep artm en t and th a t proved to he our undoing, fo r here w as an em inent professor from M ars. W ithout f u rth e r a r rangem ents we enrolled in his class in E uphrida P retacerioke!

ANASSEM BLY I t ’s T hursday a t 10:00. W e’re all so tickled and happy because it ’s Assem bly tim e. Everyone m akes a mad rush fo r the auditorium to g e t a good seat. We should know b e tte r because we all have been assigned a place to sit. T here are a few hasty w hispers, quickly suppressed because we are too public spirited to be caught. E v ery one loves to atten d our assem blies and we would hate to abuse this privilege. We cram into the row s and craw l over each o th er’s laps to our assigned position and drop w ith exhaustion. Then we sit in a reverie till our P resid en t and S ecretary come along to inspect our “shining m orning faces” and m ark us absent if we a re n ’t there. P rexy faces th e student body, and w ith both hands w aves us up to re p e a t the Lord’s P rayer. A fte r the shuffling of feet has subsided to a lull we have student announcem ents. Jessie C raw ford, th e progressive president, calls fo r a m eeting of th e S tudent Council. T hyra in her stro n g efficient m anner dem ands m ore copy fo r th e A nnual. E lizabeth Carlin has sneaked up and is announcing an o th er W om en’s League p arty . The stu d en t body breaks into applause w hen we see H ank before us. He tells us how our sp irit is lagging and urges more pep and b e tte r attendance a t the coming game. P rexy again assum es command and calls fo r F acu lty announcem ents. Miss Bushey in contralto tones urges th a t we all be p rese n t a t th e n ex t debate and sends out a plea fo r new debaters to join th e class. N ex t Somers im presses upon us th e public dance rule and w arns us not to overstep. A num ber of lost and found articles are dragged fo rth by honest Miss K linfelter. One by one she holds up a broken bobby comb, a w orn out mail order fountain pen, a faded handkerchief, a strin g of pink beads, and a glass stickpin. She says these m ay be claim ed by calling a t the office and proving ownership. The D octor him self comes before us and reprim ands us about slam m ing locker doors. Then he puts fo rth a plan of going to school on S aturday. “Anybody object ing, please stan d .” We are all so m odest th a t we s it tig h t even if th e plan is un popular. Mr. May glances a t his w atch and th e Physical E ducation problem occupies our atten tio n fo r ten or fiftee n m inutes. Miss H arrison tak es charge of assem bly singing. Each m onitor busily passes out hooks and we sing the “Old Oak T ree” and “The Ivy G reen” w ith much gusto. Some stud en ts are so rushed and overw orked th a t it is necessary to do a b it of studying during assem bly, much as they h ate to m iss w h at is going on. O thers in our student body show signs of overstudy th e n ig h t before and m ake up by using th e assem bly period to reg ain th a t lo st slum ber. The tim e fa irly flies along and we can hard ly realize th a t the hour is over when P res. M ay gen tly w aves his arm s tow ard the exit. Then w e begin the stam pede out.

TH E TRICK THAT FA IL E D By S tella V. S trilejeck W ay back in the tim e of kings and queens th ere lived a m in ister w ith his w ife ju s t on the outsk irts of th e K ing’s possessions. The m in ister gave up his profession because he w as abused by the people of his parish. N ot th inking of th e fu tu re he lived very happily in his cozy little home am ong th e hills. B ut alas! T here came a day w hen he w as forced to sta rv e or seek m eans of su p p o rt fo r him self and his wife. C ircum stances set him thinking, so he said, “D earest w ife, you know our situ atio n very well, can you advise m e ? ” “Oh, le t’s th in k !” was th e response. A fte r a few m inutes she rose from h er chair and answ ered him, saying, “I ’ll pretend I ’m dead. You go to th e K ing and tell him th a t you need money.” “ Oh, w h at a fine idea,” he answered. Soon he appeared a t the K ing’s priv ate office in the palace, b u t th e serv an t would not le t him in. A fte r a long discussion th e m in ister was perm itted to en ter th e K ing’s presence. “How do you do, your m a je s ty ? ” sobbed the m inister. “I — Oh! — you — know me. I w as your m inister long, long ago. My w ife has died, so I came to be advised by your M ajesty fo r I need money to give h er a decent b u rial.” The K ing’s h e a rt softened. He stepped to the n ex t room and b ro u g h t fo rth tw enty and th ree-fo u rth s pounds. H anding th e money to th e m in ister he said, “W henever you w ish fo r an y th in g come to me and I ’ll see w h at I can do fo r you.” The m inister w ent on his way, th an k in g his lucky s ta rs fo r his success. “Oh, this is the easiest w av of earning money,” said he to his w ife, who m et him a t th e garden gate. “You had b e tte r go to the Queen.” A fte r a tim e she arriv ed a t the Queen’s palace, seem ingly w ith a broken h eart. She poured fo rth h er sto ry to her M ajesty. The Queen’s h e a rt w as moved. Going to her priv ate chest she took out tw enty and th ree-fo u rth s pounds. The m inister w as overjoyed when his wife arriv ed home b earin g the money. “ Oh, th is is w onderful,” exclaimed he. “Did you h ea r of the death of our m in ister’s w ife ? ” said his M ajesty to th e Queen a t the dinner table th e follow ing evening. “You are m istaken,” w as her reply. “I t w as th e m in ister him self.” “No, no, it w as she,” said th e King. A fte r it w as evident th a t th ey could .lot agree he said, “I ’ll send my serv an t.” As th e servant appeared in view the m in ister’s w ife exclaimed, “ Oh! W hat shall w e do, w h at shall we do? I t is the serv an t of the King! I’ll lie down and pretend I ’m dead.” So saying she did. F ulfilling his duty the serv an t retu rn ed to th e palace and inform ed th e King th a t th e m inister’s w ife w as dead. H er M ajesty would n ot agree, so she sent h er servant. Upon retu rn in g her se rv a n t announced the death of th e m inister. S till in doubt, th e King, Queen ar.d th e ir serv an ts w ent to th e home of the m inister. The m inister, w ringing his hands, cried, “Now look who is coming! W hat oan we d o ? ” “W e’ll both pretend w e’re dead,” said his wife. No sooner said th a n done. J u s t then th e K ing rapped a t the door, but receiving no answ er he opened it and entered, th e others following him. A fte r gazing a t both bodies he said, “I ’d give another tw enty and th ree-fo u rth s pounds to know who died f irs t.” R ising sim ultaneously th e m inister and his w ife exclaimed, “I did!”
