Hail to thee our college dear; Thy light shall ever be

A beacon bright and clear; Thy sons and daughters true

W i l l proclaim thee near and far; They will guard thy fame

And adore thy name; Thou shalt be our Northern Star.

Like the stream that bends to sea, Like the pine that seeks the blue;

Minnesota, still for thee. Thy sons are strong and true.

From their woods and waters fair; From their prairies waiving far,

At thy call they throng With their shout and song,

Hailing thee their Northern Star.

CAST OF CHARACTERS

Charles Merill, a farmer of the old school Nels Palm Merton Merill his son Norris Johnson Mrs. Merill the farmers thrifty wife Marie Mariner Rose Meade, the school maam Anna Evenson Gus Anderson, the hired man Thomas Hilden

Gilbert Huot Reuben Allen a neighbor Mr. Ashley, lawyer and real estate man Alfred Hannah Robert Powell, a senior in law Leonard Story Margerie Langdon, a promising society debutante Esther Hanson Hulda, the maid Ida Christianson

Act I. Morning. The Merrill Farm-Mid-autumn, 1906. Alerton Merill, mho is dissatisfied with the treatment he re-

ceives at home and the fact that Rose Meade, the girl he loves, thinks she cannot be happy as a farmers wife, decides to break home ties and attend an agricultural college.

Act II The University of Minnesota years later. A t the fraternity ball. Merton now an educated agriculturist, has not been home for

five years on account of the harshness of his father. Learning from a lawyer a t a fraternity dance that the mortgage on the homestead is about to be foreclosed, he pays it off. Mertons mother finds her way to the fraternity house, is welcomed by Alerton, and persuades him to g o home.

Act III Mertons study a t the Merill farm. Two years later--morning Merton has transformed the homestead into a modern im-

proved farm and has won his father over to new ideas of agricul- ture. Gus, the hired man, has also been converted to modern farm- ing, and is helping Merton carry out modern ideas. If Hulda, the shiftless maid, learns to be an up-to-date farmers wife, Hulda and Gus tank dey get married.

Rose Meade, now a domestic science teacher, has changed her mind about life on the farm, and is very happy to promise to make this the best farm home in the western hemisphere.

The Northwestern Minnesota Farm Crops Show had its begin- ning in 1910 as an adjunct to the Farmers Short Course. Every year since, except one, it has continued to be an interesting and in- structive feature. Unpretentious and seemingly insignificant a t first-merely a collection of farm crop samples brought in by the farmers a t their own initiative-it has become a notable annual oc- casion, an exhibition of hundreds of samples of the highest excel- lence including all important farm crops grown in the surrounding territory. Premiums of large value are awarded including silos worth upwardsof $330.00 and machinery and farm equipment of a great variety besides silver cups and handsome cash prizes.

It has won the interest and the enthusiastic support of the business men as well as of the farmers of Northwestern Minnesota. To the farmer who is seeking the highest grade of seed stock the show offers the finest line of samples from which he may have an opportunity to choose. To the grower of high grade seed i t offers the best medium through which he may advertise, and to the gen- eral public the show offers educational features in exhibits of the finest types of our common farm crops that has inspired a new con- fidence in the Red River Valley as the best farming region in the world.

The Show had in it, from the first, the germ of an active force that will loom large in the future development of this fertile valley-and which has already borne fruit in the organization of several pure seed associations within the borders of the area which it includes. It has aroused a keen desire and a firmer and larger demand for better seed. It has opened up new avenues through which this school may serve the farmer. It has given cause for the production of both poetry and art , and is the nucleus around which the Development Association of the Red River Valley of Minnesota has taken form. Mr. Harold Grandy, 15, of this school, drew the striking emblem shown on the opposite page.

TEACHERS- TRAINING COURSE JUNIOR CLASS

Recognizing the demand for more advanced work than has been given in the regular three year course, the Board of Regents auth- orized the school to offer advanced courses, giving the students op- portunity t o specialize in desired branches. The first year of this course opened in October in 1913.

Special emphasis is pu t on the Normal Department of this course which is designed to fit young men and women for teaching in the consolidated and rural schools.

The need for country school teachers with a practical knowl- edge of farm work has been a long felt want. To meet this demand the young women are given work in domestic science and household arts, and the young men are given work in specialized farming, such as dairying, poultry raising, gas engineering and farm manage- ment. Much emphasis is given to the principles and methods of school management, and of teaching the practical subjects that function in farm life.

The department will maintain an ungraded model school where during the senior year each student teacher will get actual practice in teaching, and where, under the supervision of the instructor, dif- ficult school problems will be worked out. This model school will consist of children from the community, and rural school conditions will here be met. As a result of the two years training in this de- partment the students will be better able to meet existing conditions when taking up their work as teachers in the rural schools.

The Normal Department class is composed of eight astute anddiligent students, whose duty it has been to establish precedents inall the activities to be pursued by the department.

Being pioneers we have suffered all the hardships, and uncer-tainties of pioneer life. But the benignant smile,:; of the Seniors, thequizzical squint of the Juniors, and the gozzling gaze of the Fresh-men have produced a stimulus of encouragement.

Each of our members has reached a high degree of excellencein some line, for instance: Harold Schuck's regular attendance atchapel; the sagacity of Mary James at dining room water tourna-ment; Molly Fossbakken's zeal as a suffrage campaigner; LenoraGarceau's tact as a constant aid to cupid; the overcoming modestyof Bertha Bjoin when playing basket ball; the financial ability withwhich Nora Enge has managed our treasury; the persistency ofOscar Olson's calls at the hall; and the promptness with which NelsEngen adjourns our class meetings are all worthy of emulation byuur successors.

As a whole our class is very modest and practical. Weare notgiven to sentimentality but, nevertheless, cupid has claimed a vic-tim from among us. We sorely lament this, but have no grudgeagainst cupid, but rather, blame it to the winning smiles of oursenior friends. Since we have become accustomed to our surround-ings, and touched by the gentle influence of the Freshmen we havebecome more susceptible to the charms of the Seniors, and it is onlyby means of the neutralizing effect of the Juniors tr.at we are ableto remain intact.

"Mr. Bob" is a play of two acts. The first act is a breakfastroom scene. Miss Becky, an old maid having an affinity for cats,wishes to establish a winter home for the destitute ones, and makesplans, unknown to her niece and nephew, to remodel the upperapartments of her home for this purpose.

Katherine expects her friend, Marion Bryan, and leads Philipto believe that she is "Mr. Bob" her financee. Much laughter isbrought about through the mistaken identity of Mr. Bob and Mr.Brown, Miss Becky's legal adviser. Philip and Miss Becky form acompact that if she will give up cats, he will give up the boat race.Everyone is disappointed to think that Philip is not going to enter,but when "Mr. Bob" arrives everything is solved, and she enters therace with Philip's boat. Her boat winning the race is the climax ofthe play and Philip does not know until afterwards but what "Mr.Bob" is Mr. Brown. Everything is brought to light and Philip findsout that the real "Mr. Bob" is Marion Bryant of whom he had beenvery fond since their first meeting during the previous summer.

111rr.9qrnrttWell I am supposed to write a rhyme,Telling of the Freshman class so fine.Now I could write a lot,But I will tell you what,I cannot call to mind any verb,

1Jir.l'.al)m.l'n IDoing.aDuring the first part of the term the Freshmen gave a party

which was well attended as all wished to see how the Freshmanwould entertain. Everyone had an enjoyable time, a3 they provedto be excellent entertainers.

The class has given a few interesting programs which were\vell atended. The only trouble with them was that there were notmore of them.

The first basket ball game played the Freshman team wasagainst the Juniors. The score was seventeen to eleven in favor ofthe Freshmen. In all succeeding games between these two teams,the scores have been similar. The Freshmen do not rememher whatthe score was when they played the Seniors, so all we can say is thatthe game was a fast one.

IDqr 1J1rrnqmuu QtIunnThe 1914 Freshman Class of the Northwest School of Agricul-

ture is composed of seventy-six members most of whom enteredRchool at the first of the term. The others hearing of this wonderfulclass could not resist the longing to join their noted ranks, and sowith the encouragement of the older members of the cla3s and bytrying their very best, they were able to do so.

In all classes except Public Speaking, the Freshman class is intwo divisions, as there is too large a number to be seated in' thesmaller class rooms. There is such a large number of girls that newequipment had to be ordered for the kitchen and new tables had tobe supplied for the sewing room. In some of the boys' classes theboys were divided into three divisions, as there was not room orequipment for all of them.

In the Literary Society the Freshman class is well known. Al-though they are verdant and many of them have never appeared onthe stage before, there are some fine speakers in the class. As prac-ti.ce makes perfect, they hope by the time they are Seniors to showthe other student3 what excellent speaking, reading and singing are.

In the different subjects of the class the grades range from E.to 1. Some of them receive their marks with joy, some with sorrow,and others with, "I should worry."

The Freshman Basket Ball team has quite a name for excellentplaying. They have never been beaten by the Juniors, and they al-ways make the Seniors play their best to win the game. From pres-ent indications we think that the First Team of 1915 will be com-posed of Juniors.

v

Noun, pronoun, adjective, or adverb,Or all put together which will tellEnough of this class We love so well.But tell us, why do they call us green,That we are not so is plainly seen.In basket ball it's a sight to seeThe basket shot by our own Eddie.Starr shoots baskets also,And Williard is not slow,And Staska and Joe are right there, too.As Seniors they'll make all teams skiddooIn not only that do we excel,But in many other things as well.So, though very /1"esh we all may seem,We want you to know, we are not green.

Music hath charmes to soothe the savage breast. The music department of the N. W. S. A. is steadily growing.

The number of music students this year is nearly twice that of last, A recital was given a t the end of the first semester by the music students, and they expect to give another a t the end of the second semester.

The Boys Glee Club has now twenty members. They have ap- peared before down-town audiences several times this winter. This year the Girls Glee Club, consisting of twenty members, has been organized. Together the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs make up the mixed chorus which has furnished music for a number of programs, The mixed chorus gave an operetta, Phyllis, the Farmers Daugh- ter, March 9, 1914.

Following is the cast of characters :

Phyllis Miss Ethel Kadlec

Mr. Merth of Crookston has charge of the band. The boys seem to be getting along nicely by the echo of sweet strains that are heard on practice days.

Athletics in the N. W. S. A. includes basket ball, indoor field meets and gymnasium work. The gymnasium work takes up the exercises with the Indian clubs and dumb bells and rings. Before and after the gym classes the students test their skill in wrestling and many other athletic sports. Gym classes are held regularly twice a week under the direction of Mr. Buhr. The girls gym class is held twice a week under the direction of Miss Hovey, and exer- cises with Indian clubs and dumb bells are taken up, and different games are played.

Each class holds try-outs to see who will represent the classes in the different events. The pick of the classes are then entered into the meet, and the class, which scoresthe most points, wins first place and the next highest, second place and so on. A great deal of interest is taken in these meets, and all the students are given a chance to show what they can do.

The inter-class basket ball games have aroused the greatest in- terest between the classes. The players were chosen according to their skill as shown in the practice games. The class games were hotly contested, and the outcome was in doubt until the final whistle was blown. Many good players were developed during the season, and those who starred were Latta, Huot and Johnson for the Seniors; Billings, Jenkins and Hagen for the Juniors, and Young- gren, Johnston, Renne and Starr for the Freshmen. The class championship was based upon the per cent of games won. The Freshmen tied the Seniors for the pennant as shown by the follow- ing record :

Indoor field meets are held during the year.

championship. The girls played one game, the Seniors against a team picked

from the rest of the school, which ended disasterously for the Seniors.

When the call for candidates for the first team was sent out, those from last year's team to report were Vog, Cornelius, Wurden. Sundberg and Hvidsten. Walser reported after Christmas. After many nights of hard practice the following line-up was made : Vog and Cornelius, forwards with Palm, selected from a number of can- didates, to play sub-forward. Wurden remained a t his old position at center and Sundberg, Hvidsten, and Walser alternated a t guards. From this number Cornelius was elected captain of the team. At forward Vog played a fast game and secured the largest number of baskets during the season. Wurden a t center outjumped all of his opponents. The team work of the team was good, and the

opponents were at a loss trying to .solve the plays. The team wascoached by Mr. Buhr, and under his able direction the team madethe record of eight games won and one lost. Following is the recordof the Aggies. First column gives the score of locals:

1LitrraryEach class maintains a literary society, and a program has

been given by one of the classes every Monday night. Each classhas shown a great deal of enthusiasm in working to give the bestprogram, and as a result a number of exceedingly good programshave been given. Music has been furnished by the Boys' Glee Club,the Girls' Glee Club, and the Mixed Chorus. A number of vocal andinstrumental solos have been rendered by the students.

The boys' debating club was organized in the fall of 1910 forthe purpose of improving the students in parliamentary practice,debating and discussions.

Public programs have been given occasionally, but their regu-lar meetings have been open only to the members of the club and thefaculty. A number of very interesting and educational discussionshave been given at their meetings.

The debating team met the team of the West Central School ofAgriculture at Morris last year (1913) but were defeated. The 1914debates with Morris were held March 14th. One team journeyed toMorris, while the other team met the boys from Morris here. Wewere not successful this year, but are determined to do better nextyear.

are corporals, first and second sergeants. The commissioned officers are first and second lieutenants and captains.

During the school year of 1912-13, Gilbert Huot and Leonard Story attained the position of first lieutenant.

During the year an opportunity is given all officers to take an examination which, if successfully passed, entitles them to a certi- ficate of honor.

There i s a competitive drill held as an annual event that is looked forward to with interest, and is worked with good natured rivalry. The one that succeeds in standing the longest and making least mistakes, receives a handsome gold medal. The one last year was won by Mr. Gilbert Huot, now our first lieutenant.

The Young People's Christian Association was organized in 1907. The purpose of the association is for the moral and spiritual development of the students of this school.

Song service and Sunday school were held a t two fifteen and service a t three o'clock Sunday afternoons. The Christian Endeavor met Sunday evenings.

Various pastors and business men of Crookston and other places spoke before the young people a t the three o'clock meetings. Their topics were well selected, and their speeches were of high order.

The members of the association express their heartiest thanks to these speakers, as they greatly appreciated the inspiring talks that were given by them.

This year, for the first time, this association sent two delegates to the State Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association that was held a t Northfield, Minn., Feb. 12th to 15th inclusive.

John Hest and Chester Wilson were the two delegates this year. On their return they gave a very interesting report of the convention.

It is hoped that delegates will be sent to the annual convention every year.
