REETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 19 16,

NORTHWEST SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE : To you I send greetings, congratulations and best wishes. You are mem-

bers of the University, and of that larger University which includes all the earnest men and women, youths and maidens of the State who are trying to understand life better and to live it more worthily.

Remember that a University is not buildings, books, or apparatus, but an attitude toward life. To be open-minded, to seek truth always, to follow it bravely, to try to understand others rather than to judge them, to prefer the common welfare to personal advantage, to be just and sympathetic, to be reverent in the presence of the mystery of the Universe-these things are the essence of the University spirit.

May it be with something of this spirit that you go gladly and with courage to take up your work in the World!

Yours sincerely,

IllEhB?&2Hl&?9S33 9PVYY?fI?pw e*E' %

NORTHWEST SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE:

Only a few of the young men and women of Minnesota will be able toenjoy the advantages of the University Schools of Agriculture. It is encum­bent upon you who have had that advantage to see to it that the rural schoolsof the state are organized for efficient educational service. Give the boys and

girls of the country, schools at least as good as those of the city. This is being accomplished through theconsolidation of the weak schools into larger and efficient units. Study this movement, and you will give ityour heartiest support. It is the corner stone of the new country life.

Faithfully yours,

SUPERINTENDENT C. G. SELVIG

REETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 1916,NORTHWEST SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE:

It is ten years since students first came to this school. During that time more

than eight hundred students have enrolled for a longer or shorter term, and, count­

ing your class, one hundred eighty-seven have graduated. A large number, in ad­

dition, have attended farme,s', junior and summer courses.

These figures ought to remind us that for service rendered these hundreds by the state through this in­

stitution, service to their neighbors, in their community, to their state and country, is due by them and from

them in return. We must give as well as receive.Your training here will make you more efficient in your work, 111 the home and on the farm. May it

also inspire you to live a life of service.Sincerely,

ACT I.Mr. Hardcastle, a gentleman of the old school, has selected young Marlow for the future husband of

his daughter, Kate. Young Marlow and his friend, Hastings, lose their way when traveling to Mr. Hard­castle's house and stop at an inn for directions. Mr. Hardcastle's scamp of a step-son is there at the inn,and plays on them one of his impish tricks by telling them they are miles away from their destination, andby directing them, for the night, to his father's house as if it were an inn.

ACT II.Marlow and Hastings find the supposed inn-Mr. Hardcastle's house-very comfortable; but the sup­

posed landlord-Mr. Hardcastle-decidedly presuming for an inn-keeper. Hastings meets his fiance, MissNeville, a niece of Mrs. Hardcastle's, and she, of course, tells him they are in Mr. Hardcastle's home. Hast­ings and Miss Neville plan to elope. They keep Marlow in the dark about the mistake of the inn, and in­troduce him to Miss Hardcastle, telling him that she also is stopping over night at the inn.

ACT III.Marlow is overcome by his excessive bashfulness when talking to Miss Hardcastle, but later he meets

her in her house-wife's dress, mistakes her for a bar-maid, and falls in love with her. She continues thedeception in order to win him.

ACT IV.Marlow finally discovers that he is in Mr. Hardcastle's house, and that the girl who has attracted

him is a lady of position. Mrs. Hardcastle discovers the plot of the eloping pair and starts off in their verycoach to put Miss Neville into safe keeping, but Tony, who has gotten them all into this trouble, plans to getthem out of it.

ACT V.He drives his mother's coach through all the sloughs and ditches in the neighborhood, and by a cir­

cuitous route lands her in the horse-pond back of her own home. Her husband appears, and she learnsthat Tony is again at the bottom of it. Hastings and Miss Neville are pardoned by her. Marlow refuses togive up the lady who has attracted him, and then discovers that she is the very Miss Hardcastle before whomhis bashfulness had at first so overcome him.

RIVERAC01/l:

CLASS HISTORYEsther Pearson, 1916.

In the year of our Lord nineteen hundred thirteen, seventy-nine timid freshmen came to the CrookstonSchool of Agriculture seeking knowledge. With Mr. and Mrs. McCall as class advisors, they began toclimb the ladder of success.

With Miss Brown as director, they took part in literary societies, and gave a program every thirdweek in the auditorium. All of these were well attended and closely listened to because such excellentartists are bound to compel attention. Our verdure became more and more subdued as we learned howto apply purity and germination tests to corn, and the important maxim that to every action there is anequal and opposite reaction.

We did llot neglect the social side of our life ror we entertained the school at a big party. We thenproved to be excellent hostesses. At the party given to us by the old students, we had the honor ofriding in an American airship, but we were not sure whether we would alight as pole-landers or lap­landers.

The second year we returned to school and enrolled as Juniors. We were no longer bashful andbackward, but took part in athletIcs, won the class championship in basket ball, and when the field meetwas held, showed our skill by scoring against the Seniors.

Our class supplied prominent members to debating clubs, and won a number of debates against mem-

bers of other classes.During our Junior year we witnessed the erection of the magnificent Senior Hall on the campus, to

serve as a boys' dormitory. In the same year a central heating system was installed for our comfort andwarmth. We now believed we were living in luxury. In our Domestic Science department, we found MissCatlin, with her never-to-be-forgotten smile, taking the place of Miss Kadlec, who had decided· that ifour work should be done accurately we must be given wholesome food. It was in this year also that MissHovey, our music teacher, with her winning manner and gentle ways accomplished the work of melting

an ice-Bergh.Miss Olsen and Mr. Sewal! had, while we were at home spending our summer vacation, decided that

two heads put together were better than one.It was in this momentous year that a three months' short course was established ror the advantage of

boys and girls, who do not have the opportunity of taking up the regular three years' course.After Christmas we were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. McCall who gave us a delighful party, where

we took the entrance examination in Forestry. Some of us passed by getting good marks, others by ourgood looks, and some of us by our reputations. Mr. McCall decided that we were such a nice group ofJuniors he would take a flash light picture of us to save for the future when he wanted to have somefond recollections.

Although for a period of two years we were treated as minor characters by the upper classes, we,ourselves, knew what places we were occupying. During this time some of om number were claimed byvictories, more by defeats, and others by adverse circumstances, until, at the beginning of the third year,there were only rorty-two of us left. According to Darwin and his theory of evolution, those who havesurvived are the fittest.

We began this year by enjoying with the school, a camp-fire festival. Everyone took part and friedhis bacon in true woodsmen style over the glowing fire. We are proud to say that our class carried offthe honors in the relay race. On Thanksgiving the students and facultv were served an elaborate dinner atwhich the Senior boys acted a~ waiters. They did their work as well as any of the girls who serve in theboarding club could have done. In the evening the world's favorite play, "Kin:lling the Hearth Fire,"was given in three acts in the auditorium.

We, girls of the Senior class, have nourished the faculty this year, giving them 100 grams protein,500 grams carbohydrate, and 70 grams of fat per person, and as proof of the success of this feat, weboast a corps of teachers who are free from dyspepsia.

rRIVER

Our Senior boys, have learned to manage a farm in such a way that their future mates will not haveto keep their farm accounts.

Miss Brown and Miss Metcalf after having taught us as much English as they thought we could pos~

sibly absorb, and· fearing the future consequences of this problem, left our school to seek more learningthemselves. We now have the Haig Tribunal to arbitrate on all dormitory disputes, and our library hasbecome a new Smithsonian Institute.

Mr. Bengtson, Mr. McCall and Mr. Dietrich have stood the test of time and with their patience and en~

durance we have prospered luxunantly.

Our happy three years are closing with this elaborate Junior-Senior banquet. Thus we depart fromthe scenes of our school days, with gratitude in our hearts towards Mr. Selvig who has superintended ourschool career, and toward our faculty who have trained our minds and our lives, and with love for ourAlma Mater which is sendin; us forth well-prepared to commence our real life.

Fate has decreed that the Junior Class of 1916 should be heavily pruned. But being vigorous and

healthy, it was by no means discouraged by this. What this class lacks in numbers is more than made up

for in quality. Seldom is there found a group of people charged with so much energy and enthusiasm as

this Junior Class of three girls and twenty-two boys. Their deeds speaks for themselves.

Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast.-Shakespeare.

Musical ability is a marked characteristic of the Junior Class. This is a picture of one of their musi­

cal organizations to which belong the most distinguished musicians of the class. It gi....es an idea of their

outward appearance, but a conception of their musical performance cannot be thus conveyed. Nohting less

than hearing their music could adequately do this, for it is indescribable. Special musical education is neces­

sary in order -to fully aprpeciate it.

Freshmen ClassThe class of 1918 was born on October 6, 1915. That this class of industrious, bright and fun loving

students will succeed is without a doubt. They have already shown their great ability in a large number ofways. The above and aforementioned class is the Freshman Class of the Northwest School of Agricultureand, though young, as yet, it is considered an important part of this school.

Superintendent C. G. Selvig kindly gave us the right hand of fellowship at our first called businessmeeting, and guided our helm until were were able to walk alone through the "tall, green grass" surround­II1g us.

Our latent abi'lity manifested itself early in our school career so much so that faculty members freelypredict that we will be the greatest class in the school's history.

Prof. and Mrs. F. L. Kennard were chosen class advisers.

The Advanced Course was first offered as a regular School Course during the fall of 1913. Thiscourse was organized to fit school graduates for college entrance, and to train teachers in agriculture andacademic courses for positions in consolidated and graded schools.

Credits for work in the Advanced Course are accepted by the college and university the same ashigh school credits.

The course is instructed by the regular school and Teachers' Training Course instructors. The schoolyear lasts nine months instead of six as in the regular course.

The attendance has been increasing each year. Eight boys are enrolled in the course this year.

The Teachers' Training Course is the result of the need that is felt by people in the rural communitiesfor better trained teachers. They are realizing more and more each year that the rural teachers have nothad enough professional training, do not understand rural conditions, and do not know the needs of therural schools. Consequently they are not as efficient as are schools in other commul1lties. To meet thisdemand of the people this Teachers' Training Department was established in 19 J3. It is the purpose ofthe department to train young men and women for the one room rural schools, and for the consolidatedschool:; which are rapidly growing in public favor.

The course includes work usually given for the training of teachers, and special attention is givento Domestic Science, Agriculture, Nature Study and Manual Training. In connection with the work, anungraded school is used as a demonstration school. It is a typical country school, and by observing thework 'done nere, and by actually teaching the school under the close supervision of the Normal TrainingTeacher, the student teacher comes in close contact with rural school conditions and problems and learnshow to solve them.

In addition to work done in the demonstration school, the student teachers take charge of smallclasses made up of students from the regular course and the short course students. This work is alsodone under the direct supervision of the instructor.

In view of the fact that hot noon lunches are required in consolidated schools, and because theselunches not only prove a benefit to the child, but give an excellent opportunity for social training, thiswork has been taken up in connection with the Domestic Science work. One hot dish, which has been pre­pared by the children under the student teacher, is served each day.

Students finishing this course are given a state first grade certificate which is renewable indefinitely.

Debati~g was given a new impetus in the fall of 1915 by the addition of a course in debating as apart of the regular English work. Prof. A. H. Larson is in charge of the debating class work, and has alsobeen appointed as school debating coach.

Interest in debating was further stimulated by Supt. C. G. Selvig upon his presenting to the school abeautiful silver loving cup as a trophy to the Literary Society winning the intersociety debate three suc­cessive years. The "Selvig Cup" debates are to be made a feature of the Commence:nent Program eachyear.

The following debating schedule has been arranged for the present year:February 8-Dual debate with North Dakota School of Science, Wahpeton.March 18-Dual debate with West Central Scho::>l of Agriculture, Morris, Minn.March 27-"Selvig Cup" debate. Pioneer vs. Lincoln Club Debating teams.

Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.

To soften rocks or bend a knotted oak.

Music, under the able direction of Miss Grace Gunderson, has become one of the established de- partments of the school. Regular class work in music is given in each of the three years of the regular school course, and in addition students have the opportunity of taking private lessons in voice, piano, violin and band instruments.

The following musical organizations are maintained by the students under the direction of the De- partment of Music: The Boys Glee Club, Girls Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, School Orchestra and School Band. The Glee Club and Chorus work is under the personal supervision of Miss Gunderson. A. H. Lar- son is director of the School Orchestra. Marshall Byrne is leader of the School Band. Hamilton Nason is special instructor in voice.

The local Y. M. C. A. was organized March 22, 1914, succeeding the Christian Association organizedwhen the school was established. The membership roll has been increasing each year so that now alarge number of active and associate members are enrolled.

The officers elected for 1915-1916 were: President, Thorval Tunheim; Vice President, Oscar Lund;Secretary-Treasurer, Ole A. Flaat: Sergeant-at-arms, Herman Skyberg ; Faculty Advisory Committee, 1.M. McCall, ]. P. Bengtson and A. H. Larson.

The Sunday meetings of the association begin with Bible study in the morning at eight forty-five, fol­lowed by the regular Y. M. C. A. meeting at three o'clock, and the joint meeting with the Y. W. C. A. inthe evening at seven o'clock. The morning class is led jointly by the faculty advisors and a great dealof interest and enthusiasm is shown in the course. Speakers from Crookston and elsewhere are frequentlycalled on to address the afternocn and evening meetings, but these meetings for the most part are con­ducted by student leaders, at which time the problems of social welfare and religious activities of the countryare discussed.

The delegates to the State Y. M. C. A. convention at Fa'ribault, February 10, were Thorvald Tunheimand Raymond Anderson. The following members attended the convention at their own expense: Ches­ter Wilson, Herbert Anderson and Robert Billings.

The Y. W. C. A. is a young organization at the school, but in the one year of its existence it has madeiself felt as a power for good and an inspiration for a more fully developed and rounded out life amongthe girls. [he great ideal of the association is that of training young women to take their proper placein the moral and religious life of their home communities.

The officers for the present year are: President, Chloe Starr; Vice President, Johanna Monson; Sec­retary, Clara Lindfors; Treasurer, Amanda Hanson. The faculty advisers are Mrs. C. G. Selvig, Mrs. A. F.Haig and Miss Grace Sherwood.

1he regular association meetings are held on the first and third Sundays of each month. A definitecourse of Bible study is taken up each year, and the Bible study classes meet each Sunday morning.

The Y. W. C. A. meets with the Y. M. C. A. each Sunday evening in a joint service. The joint meet­

ings are led by students twice each month, and the meet:ngs on the alternate Sundays are addressed bypreachers and other prominent men from Crookston and neighboring towns.

The Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. give a joint reception each year to new students and faculty. ThIs receptionis looked forward to as being the chief social event of the fall term.

The course in military drill as in all land grant schools and colleges, is required of all boys in the

regular course, except those with physical disqualifications. The ideals of the course are first : To give a

thorough training in the rudiments of military tactics and second to train the mind and body to act togeth­

er producing graceful, snappy action and proper carriage.

lhe students are required to furnish themselves with full uniform while the guns and other necessary

equipment IS furnished by the state.

Worthy students showing progress and ability are promoted to become officers as soon as they

prove themselves proficient. The officers are: Captain, First and Second Lieutenar.t, First and Second

Sergeants and Corporals.

Examinations are given officers at the close of each school year, the meritorious passmg of which

entitles them to promotion and a certificate of honor.

ent remaining on the Roor the longest receives a gold medal and commendation.
