MINNESOTA
Minnesota, hail to thee,
Hail to thee our college dear;
Thy light shall ever be
A beacon bright and clear;
Thy sons and daughters true
Will 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.

A Play in 3 Acts
By Merline H. Shumway
CAST OF CHARACTERS
Charles Merill, a farmer of the old school
Nels Palm
Merton Merill his son
Norris Johnson
Mrs. Merill the farmer’s thrifty wife
Marie Mariner
Rose Meade, the school ma’am
Anna Evenson
Gus Anderson, the hired man
Thomas Hilden

Hulda, the maid
Ida Christianson
Act I. Morning.
The Merrill Farm-Mid-autumn, 1906.
Alerton Merill, mho is dissatisfied with the treatment he receives
at home and the fact that Rose Meade, the girl he loves,
thinks she cannot be happy as a farmer’s wife, decides to break
home ties and attend an agricultural college.
Act II
The University of Minnesota years later.
At 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 at a fraternity dance that the mortgage on the homestead
is about to be foreclosed, he pays it off. Merton’s mother finds her
way to the fraternity house, is welcomed by Alerton, and persuades
him to go home.
Act III
Merton’s study at the Merill farm.
Two years later--morning
Merton has transformed the homestead into a modern improved
farm and has won his father over to new ideas of agriculture.
Gus, the hired man, has also been converted to modern farming,
and is helping Merton carry out modern ideas. If Hulda, the
shiftless maid, learns to be an up-to-date farmer’s 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 beginning
in 1910 as an adjunct to the Farmers’ Short Course. Every
year since, except one, it has continued to be an interesting and instructive
feature. Unpretentious and seemingly insignificant at
first-merely a collection of farm crop samples brought in by the
farmers at their own initiative-it has become a notable annual occasion,
an exhibition of hundreds of samples of the highest excellence
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 it offers
the best medium through which he may advertise, and to the general
public the show offers educational features in exhibits of the
finest types of our common farm crops that has inspired a new confidence
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.
OTTO I. BERGH, Secretary.

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 opportunity
to specialize in desired branches. The first year of this
course opened in October in 1913.
Special emphasis is put 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 knowledge
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 management.
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, difficult
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 department
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 and
diligent students, whose duty it has been to establish precedents in
all the activities to be pursued by the department.
Being pioneers we have suffered all the hardships, and uncertainties
of pioneer life. But the benignant smile,:; of the Seniors, the
quizzical squint of the Juniors, and the gozzling gaze of the Freshmen
have produced a stimulus of encouragement.
Each of our members has reached a high degree of excellence
in some line, for instance: Harold Schuck's regular attendance at
chapel; the sagacity of Mary James at dining room water tournament;
Molly Fossbakken's zeal as a suffrage campaigner; Lenora
Garceau's tact as a constant aid to cupid; the overcoming modesty
of Bertha Bjoin when playing basket ball; the financial ability with
which Nora Enge has managed our treasury; the persistency of
Oscar Olson's calls at the hall; and the promptness with which Nels
Engen adjourns our class meetings are all worthy of emulation by
uur successors.
As a whole our class is very modest and practical. Weare not
given to sentimentality but, nevertheless, cupid has claimed a victim
from among us. We sorely lament this, but have no grudge
against cupid, but rather, blame it to the winning smiles of our
senior friends. Since we have become accustomed to our surroundings,
and touched by the gentle influence of the Freshmen we have
become more susceptible to the charms of the Seniors, and it is only
by means of the neutralizing effect of the Juniors tr.at we are able
to remain intact.

plans, unknown to her niece and nephew, to remodel the upper
apartments of her home for this purpose.
Katherine expects her friend, Marion Bryan, and leads Philip
to believe that she is "Mr. Bob" her financee. Much laughter is
brought about through the mistaken identity of Mr. Bob and Mr.
Brown, Miss Becky's legal adviser. Philip and Miss Becky form a
compact 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 the
race with Philip's boat. Her boat winning the race is the climax of
the play and Philip does not know until afterwards but what "Mr.
Bob" is Mr. Brown. Everything is brought to light and Philip finds
out that the real "Mr. Bob" is Marion Bryant of whom he had been
very fond since their first meeting during the previous summer.

The 1914 Freshman Class of the Northwest School of Agriculture
is composed of seventy-six members most of whom entered
Rchool at the first of the term. The others hearing of this wonderful
class could not resist the longing to join their noted ranks, and so
with the encouragement of the older members of the cla3s and by
trying their very best, they were able to do so.
In all classes except Public Speaking, the Freshman class is in
two divisions, as there is too large a number to be seated in' the
smaller class rooms. There is such a large number of girls that new
equipment had to be ordered for the kitchen and new tables had to
be supplied for the sewing room. In some of the boys' classes the
boys were divided into three divisions, as there was not room or
equipment for all of them.
In the Literary Society the Freshman class is well known. Although
they are verdant and many of them have never appeared on
the stage before, there are some fine speakers in the class. As practi.ce
makes perfect, they hope by the time they are Seniors to show
the 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 excellent
playing. They have never been beaten by the Juniors, and they always
make the Seniors play their best to win the game. From present
indications we think that the First Team of 1915 will be composed
of Juniors.
1Jir.l'.al)m.l'n IDoing.a
During the first part of the term the Freshmen gave a party
which was well attended as all wished to see how the Freshman
would entertain. Everyone had an enjoyable time, a3 they proved
to be excellent entertainers.
The class has given a few interesting programs which were
\vell atended. The only trouble with them was that there were not
more of them.
The first basket ball game played the Freshman team was
against the Juniors. The score was seventeen to eleven in favor of
the Freshmen. In all succeeding games between these two teams,
the scores have been similar. The Freshmen do not rememher what
the score was when they played the Seniors, so all we can say is that
the game was a fast one.

Well 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,
.'
"
"
".',',
[

Noun, pronoun, adjective, or adverb,
Or all put together which will tell
Enough 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 see
The 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 skiddoo
In 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 at the end of the first semester by the music
students, and they expect to give another at the end of the second
semester.
The Boys’ Glee Club has now twenty members. They have appeared
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 Farmer’s Daughter,”
March 9, 1914.
Following is the cast of characters :

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 exercises
with Indian clubs and dumb bells are taken up, and different
games are played.
Indoor field meets are held during the year. 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 interest
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 Younggren,
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 following
record :
Games Played Won Lost P. C.
Seniors 6 4 2 666
Juniors 6 1 5 166
Freshmen __________________________ 6 4 2 666
A deciding game will be played before school closes to decide the
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 candidates,
to play sub-forward. Wurden remained at his old position
at center and Sundberg, Hvidsten, and Walser alternated at
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 at 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 was
coached by Mr. Buhr, and under his able direction the team made
the record of eight games won and one lost. Following is the record

1Litrrary
Each class maintains a literary society, and a program has
been given by one of the classes every Monday night. Each class
has shown a great deal of enthusiasm in working to give the best
program, and as a result a number of exceedingly good programs
have been given. Music has been furnished by the Boys' Glee Club,
the Girls' Glee Club, and the Mixed Chorus. A number of vocal and
instrumental solos have been rendered by the students.
The boys' debating club was organized in the fall of 1910 for
the purpose of improving the students in parliamentary practice,
debating and discussions.
Public programs have been given occasionally, but their regular
meetings have been open only to the members of the club and the
faculty. A number of very interesting and educational discussions
have been given at their meetings.
The debating team met the team of the West Central School of
Agriculture at Morris last year (1913) but were defeated. The 1914
debates with Morris were held March 14th. One team journeyed to
Morris, while the other team met the boys from Morris here. We
were not successful this year, but are determined to do better next
year.

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 certificate
of honor.
There is 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 at two fifteen and
service at 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 at 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 at 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.
