TO THE CLASS OF 1922, NORTHWEST SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE:

Cordially yours,

v

We recently had a distinguished banker deliver a convocation address at the Univer-sity. In his address he emphasized certain old fashioned virtues as the basis for success. Hepointed out that there is no substitute for honesty in business dealing, that success is neverachieved by those who have not learned what hard work means, and that one's value to thecommunity in which he resides is based upon a quality which he called generous-mindedness.It is clear to those who think about the matter that there is something in this world of greatervalue than money or power, and that is the satisfaction of a life spent in doing the best onecan, not merely for himself, but for others. Whenever one leaves out of consideration hisobligations to his fellow men, he becomes narrow, selfish and bigoted, but when he keeps theseconsiderations clearly in mind, he becomes broad-minded, liberal, and thoughtful in his treat-ment of others, and humble in the sight of his fellow men. This is one of the lessons whichyou should have learned, partly, at least, in the Northwest School at Crookston. It is a lessonwhich will be more clearly defined and in which you will grow more and more proficient withthe passing years.

To the Class of 1922 of theorthwest School of Agriculture:

The Red River Valley appeals to the student of agricultural development because farm-ing in the Valley is in the process of a great transformation. The wheat raising era is passing;diversified farming with its live stock and variety of crops is coming in. Soil fertility, drain-age, farm management, marketing, transportation and still other economic questions are be-coming more alive as farm problems than ever before. The student of agricultural developmentis anxious to see whether the new knowledge in these subjects will help to bring diversifiedfarming into the Valley under more favorable conditions than it came into those regions whereit arrived at an earlier date. The existence of the Northwest School of Agriculture shouldguarantee that it will. And graduates of the School should welcome the change, and I feelsure that they will. Diversified agriculture is the trained farmer's opportunity. It presentsnew problems and numerous problems which the old time farmer will not attack. But to theyoung farmer who is well trained, they are a stimulant to the blood, brawn and brain. As aregion which challenges the graduate of an agricultural school to deliver his best, no otherexcels the Valley, where I hope you may succeed as farmers and citizens.

Sincerely yours,

W. C. COFFEY,Dean and Director,

Department of Agriculture.

TO CLASS OF 1922, NORTHWEST SCHOO L:

Each year brings new opportunities and new duties. That we shall be big enough, strong enough, worthy enough to fulfill them is our prayer. This you will find is your prob- lem as you leave school to embark upon your life’s voyage into the uncharted regions of the world of activity.

Pa- tience and tolerance must be close a t hand. Don’t stop studying simply because you’re not attending regular classes. Don’t stop the sources of joy-giving inspiration by neglecting to read and to come into contact with noble minds. Determine to live-fully, simply, nobly; to share your joys and to belittle your sorrows; to lift and not to lean. Do your part in your community; if necessary, more than your part. Through a life of service you will gain your full stature-and happiness.

We know that character is the first asset. Energy and perseverance are necessary.

Most sincerely yours,

C. G. SELVIG, Northwest School,

February 14, 1922. Superintendent.

Class HistoryWhen we came to the Northwest School of Agriculture, on October seventh, ninete~n hundred

nineteen, we soon found that this would be a very ditterent life from the one we had lived before. Wesaw so many unfamiliar faces that we were afraid we could never become acquainted with so manypeople.

During the first week, Mr. J. P. Bengtson assisted us in organizing our class. We chose Mr. andMrs. R. R. 'smith for our class advisers. After the organization ot our class, we soon became acquaintedwith each other.

One of the most interesting events of the year was the outdoor festival, where all the famousathletes assembled for decisive battles. The hardest battle was the pillow fight between Mr. Hengtsonand Mr. Foker. Both went into the battle bravely, but alter a few rounds of hghting, Mr. Bengtson reoceived a blow on the head and took the count. Another Important event of this year was the second an-nual inter-class song contest, in which all the classes competed. We, as freshmen, won second place, andthe seniors won first. In our remaining years this became an event which was eagerly looked forward toby all the students as one of the most interesting features of the school year.

The campaign for a memorial for the Northwest School boys, who gave their lives in the greatstruggle in the world war, was begun that year, and resulted in the erection of the beautiful monumentwhich now adorns the entrance to the campus.

The last part of January the "flu" broke out and school was closed for two weeks. When we re-turned to school again, we had a great burden on our shoulders, but this burden was overcome by hardwork.

Both our girls' and boys' basketb~ll teams won the inter-class championships during our freshmanyear.

In our junior year, we were less than half as great in numbers, but we were well organized, andwith the assistance of our class advisers, Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Smith, we made great progress.

The first dancing party ever given at the school was held in the new dining hall early in Novem-ber of this year.

The basketball championship was won by our class for the second time, likewise the highest hon-ors in the third inter-class song contest.

At the close of this year we assisted the seniors in giving their operetta, "Twilight Alley." Thiswas staged at the Crookston Armory, and it was a very successful production.

When we came back for our senior year, we chose Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Clark as class advisers to fillthe vacancy left by Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Smith. We found that we had many great responsibilities as sen-iors. We had to set an example for the other classes. The tug of war between the "Giants" of StephensHall and the 'Tigers" of Senior, at the outdoor festival was an exciting feature of the first month's sched-ule. The laurels went to the latter, after a hard struggle.

As seniors we won the cup at the inter-class song contest for the second time, and at this writing ourteam is going strong for our third consecutive inter-class basketball championship.

On February 24, our class, with assistance of four faculty members and the school choruses, present-ed our senior operetta, "Yokohama Maid," at the Crookston Armory. The cast was composed of oversixty voices with a number of solos and quartettes. Under the direction of Miss Pederson this was a greatsuccess, as evidenced by the many expressions of appreciation by students and from the citizens of Crooks-ton.

Through the assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Clark, the hard work of the Aggie board, and the strongco-operation of the class, we are able to put the Red River Aggie out before the close of the school year.

During the three years we have spent here we have set a very high standard and have endeavoredto live up to our motto, "Onward ever; backward never." This is shown by the laurels we have won inbasketball and song contests, and by the records we have made in the literary and debating societies.

Therefore, we, as the members of the class of twenty-two, wish to thank Superintendent Selvig,Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Clark, our advisers, our faculty, and the school for helping us make our school yearsat the Northwest School of Agriculture a grand success.

FOOTBALL

Top Row-Stageberg. Anderson, Faker (coach), Aakre, Halvorson, Fraser.Middle Row-I. Johnson, Peterson, W. Johnson, Ness, Courtney.Bottom Row-Tarvas. Bolstad, Err.erson·

Our football team, last fall, had one of its most successful seasons. In spite of the fact that thematerial was green, several of the members never having seen a football game before they came to thisschool, a good team was put on the field. The first call of practice brought out only four veterans, butwith a wealth of material on hand the vacant positions were soon filled. In a course of two weeks ,underthe experienced and successful tutelage of our coach, Mr. Foker, a well organized team was secured.

The first game was scheduled with East Grand Forks on October 25, and we were defeated by ascore of 7 to 6.

Crookston High Scllool, the· district champ:ons, were our next rivals. We went into this game witha crippled line-up. F ri' fer, our speedy halfback, was injured in practice, and it was necessary to shiftsome of the players. Aakre, a new man, was placed on the line. During the first half, Crookston piledup twenty-one points, but in the secon:l half, our players fought their opponents to a standstill, Crookstonbeing able to make first down only once. The result of the game was: Crookston 21, Aggies O.

On Homecoming Day, we closed the football season with Fosston High as our opponents. Theweather was ideal for football, and a record crowd was on hand to cheer the players. When the score-keeper had finally added up the touchdowns, field goals and goal kicks, the score stood : Fosston 6,Aggies 35.

A's were awarded to the following players for their faithful work: Harry Courtney, Lloyd Ness,Louis Emerson, Walter Anderson, William Johnson, Iver Johnson, Harold Peterson, Julian Halvorson, OleT arvas, Lawrence Walters.

Honorable Mention was given to the following: Ronald Fraser, Einar Aakre, Clayton Stageberg,and Lloyd Bolstad.

BASKET BALL

'ORTHWEST SCHOOL BASKET BALL TEAM

Johnson, Anderson, H. Peterson, L. Peterson, Courtney, Emerson, Ness

Immediately after the close of the foot ball season, basket ball, under t ecoaching of Mr. Constans, started with a bang. Some thirty men answeredthe call, and were out to try and land a place in the first string. After weeksof hard practice, the following were selected for the first squad: Emerson,William Johnson, and Harold Peterson as forwards; Courtney, La Vern Peter-son, and Ness as guards, and Anderson as the tip-off man. Later in the season,Fraser, from the junior class team, joined the first team squad.

William Johnson, captain, our snappy right forward, is the cleanest andthe hardest working man on the team. When the game goes badly, Johnsonis at his best, inspiring hope in the other players. As a captain and clean play-er, he cannot be beat. Louis Emerson and Harold Peterson, alternate left for-wards, are never where the opposing guards expect to find them. Harold wasthe star of the Bemidji game. Walter Anderson is our good-natured, fastcenter. He plays a good game. Follow-up shots are one of Walt's specialties.Unfortunately for the team he graduates this year.

Harry Courtney is the high speed right guard. He travels so fast that hisopponents never overtake him. Courtney will not be eliminated this year bythe process of graduation. Watch him next year. La Vern Peterson and Lloyd

ess alternate as left guards. Both are consistent players and the game is neverslow when Ness and Pete are in. Ronald Fraser joined the ranks late, but as aguard shows excellent form, and will be ar.1ong the best next year. .

The team is coached by Mr. Constans, and under his able directions thusfar has a record of eight victories, and only four games lost. The boys enjoyworking with Mr. Constans, as he possesses that vim and fight, and that never-failing smile that won't come off.

Homecoming Day in 1921Homecoming Day at the Northwest School, November 11, 1921, was a day that will long be re-

membered by all. From early morning till late at night, the day was replete with the cheery greetings offriends reunited, with inspirational addresses recalling the memories of our boys who answered the call

to the Great War, with athletic contests, and wholesome entertainment which reflected the spirit of all

Northwest School students, past and present.Early in the morning, groups of alumni began to arrive, headed by Oscar Lund, ' 16, who had been

busy for several days rallying the old grads for the alumni band. Merged with less experienced members

of the present school band, the old boys revived all of their old time zest and pep, and added greatly to the

enjoyment of all by their part in the day's program.Part of the morning was spent in inspecting the home project exhibit and seed show, the work of

members of the junior and senior classes, in their various home projects during the past season. Emil Nel-son, '22, was declared winner of the silver trophy offered by the faculty for the best summer project work

in 1921. At ten o'clock all assembled in the auditorium for the Armistice Day program. Mr. HarrisonFuller, of Minneapolis, first state commander of the American Legion, gave the principal address. Mr.

Fuller had just returned from a visit to France, and spoke of the high regard that the French peoplehave for the American doughboys. Ex-Senator A. D. Stephens, of Crookston, interpreted the feeling of

the nation for the boys who answered their country's call. Assistant Secretary of State J. P. Bengtson,formerly preceptor at the Northwest School, gave the eulogy for the eight students who gave their lives

in the Great War. In accordance with an established custom, this eulogy is delivered each armisticeday by a member of the school faculty. Mr. Bengtson's address was full of reverent and InspIrIngthoughts for all.

At the close of the program in the auditorium, a procession led by the alumni band, the color guardof the Nels T. Wold post of the American Legion, and two troops of Boy Scouts from Crookston, march-ed to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial. At the hour of twelve we joined (with all citizens of this greatnation) in two minutes of silent prayer for universal peace among the nations of the world. Lloyd Ness,

president of the senior class, placed a beautiful wreath upon the memorial in memory of' those fromthis school who gave their all for humanity. A military salute was fired, and taps were sounded by a

bugler of the American Legion.Field day sports and a soccer game between two girls' teams occupied the first hour of the af-

ternoon, followed by an intensely interesting foot ball game between the Northwest School team andFosston High School. Between halves, delegations from the various literary societies paraded the field and

gave clever original stunts. The game resulted in a decisive victory for the home team by a score of 25 to 6.An elaborate carnival, an excellent program of picture films, and a ball in the gymnasium provided

a full evening of festivities for all. In contrast with the solemn atmosphere of the morning program,the day ended with a pandemonium of care-free mirth i'nd gaiety, from the "Kangaroo Court" and the"Musical Extravaganza" by Mr. Constans' girls' 0) chorus, to the last strains of "Home, Sweet Home" bythe orchestra. Alumni and students past and present thronged the halls of the Kiehle building, exclaim-ing at the clever performances of the amateur actors, and voicing a universal sentiment that the 1921 home-coming had been a grand success.

The Social SeasonEveryone, young or old, at the Northwest School of Agriculture believes that "all work and no

play, makes Jack a dull boy," and many social frolics are planned to make our school-days enjoyable..-\ we review the past year, we recall certain social events, which will never be forgotten, and it will beour purpose to chronicle them so that our readers of this book may share our pleasures.

Frolic and Pow-Wow

On the second day of school, October 11, the girls enjoyed a comical dress-up frolic in RobertsonHall. On the same evening the boys gathered in Senior Hall and did a Pow-Wow. Eats were providedfor all.

Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. Reception

The gymnasium sheltered a large crowd on the night of October 14, when the Y. W. C. A. andY. M. C. A. acted as hosts and hostesses and made the new students welcome.

Out-door Festival

The annual outdoor festival and Hallowe'en party was held in the windbreak north of the HomeEconomics building on the night of October 29. The program began with a supper served in cafeteriastyle, followed by athletic contests between the three classes. Messrs. Constans and Hinrichs indulged ina pillow fight, which resulted in a victory for Mr. Constans. The athletic part of the program closed with atug-of-war between Stephens and Senior Halls, with the laurels going to the latter after a long, hard strug-gle. Nearly everyone joined in the never-to-be-forgotten ghost walk through the windbreak, where myriadsof ghosts were encountered. All emerged from this trip without serious mishap, however. The eveningended when IIa Slyter applied the match for a bonfire and all joined in the singing and the grand marcharound the blazing pile.

November Ball and Party

Again on Nov. 5, the gymnasium walls rang with music as the students tripped the light fantasticuntil a late hour. At the same time a party was held in Stephens Hall for those who did not dance.

Homecoming Dance

After the successful program on Homecoming Day, November 11, everyone was in high spirits, andthe dance held in the evening in the gymnasium was very successful. Students, faculty and alumni hada chance to renew old acquaintances, and many new friends were made. All who were at the schoolthat day agreed that it was the most enjoyaqle day they had spent for a long time.

Thanksgiving Day

Only one day of vacation was given for Thanksgiving holiday, but into that was crowded enoughfun to fill several days. Students and members of the faculty gathered in the Dining Hall at noon and atea well cooked dinner, which included turkey and all the trimmings. At three o'clock the play, "Evangel-ine," was given in the auditorium by the students in the English department, under the direction of MissEvenson. At the close of the program, Mr. Kittleson presented the silver trophy, offered by the faculty,to Emil Nelson for having received the highest grade on home project work during the summer of 1921.The evening meal was served in the different dormitories, and later a party was held in the libr'ary anda dance in the dining hall.

Dormitory Life SENIOR HALL

Stately and dignified, awaiting the arrival each season of the boys who have proved themselves worthy to be called seniors, Senior Hall is the most aristocratic of dormitories and provides a home for forty boys of the senior and advanced classes. It is also the newest of the three dormitories, having been built during the summer of 19 16.

Although officially in the charge of its faculty preceptors, Messrs. H. P. Constans and H. S. Hin- richs, Senior Hall takes pride in the fact that it requires little supervision, as it has a well-organized sys- tem of self-government. At the first house meeting of the year, officers are elected to serve throughout the year as inspectors and as representatives in the student senate. House meetings of all the residents are held in the house parlor for the discussion of whatever problems present themselves, and decisions reached in these councils are considered binding upon all.

The names of the 1921-1922 officers are: President-Ole Tarvas. Representatives-(First floor) Clayton Marrs;

(Second floor) William Johnson; Amos Kasberg; (Third floor) Harry Courtney; Halvor Nornes.

The dormitory parlor is a spacious room on the first floor, with a huge fireplace, and with several large windows which give a wide view of the campus and athletic field. A large reading table and book shelves make it an attractive place on winter afternoons and evenings. In an alcove a t one end are num- erous games, checker boards, crokinole, “rook,” etc., which help to keep the lads contented and cheerful.

Here, too, are held many social get-togethers and entertainments as well as the regular Wednesday evening meetings of the Y. M. C. A. On Thanksgiving evening the boys entertained a t an open house and invited their friends from Robertson Hall. The early hours of the evening were spent around the “rook” and crokinole tables and in popping corn over the glowing grate-fire Later the guests repaired to the gymnasium and dining hall, where all enjoyed the dancing and games which had been planned for that occasion.

Space does not permit a more detailed account of our life a t Senior Hall, but anyone who has l i d here knows that it is the best place on the campus of the best school in the Northwest.

STEPHENS HALL Stephens is the largest and oldest dormitory on the campus It is very favorably located, being next

to the dining hall, and close to Kiehle Building. It is in this building that the freshmen are enrolled, and go through the terrible experience of initiation. During the first weeks of school the freshmen are given the first degree of initiation; namely, that of being rolled out when in dreamland. The next degree is connected with either the tub or shower bath.

Our form of government can be favorably compared with that of the United States. We have a president, who conducts the meetings, and our senate body consists of two representatives from each floor, also a house inspector. These officers are elected by the students living in this hall The following are the names of this year’s officers :

Although it may seem to the reader that we have a lawless house, this is not the case.

President-her Johnson. Senate-(First floor)-Julian Halvorson and Walter Burk;

(Second floor) Arthur Synnes and Albert Kopecky; (Third floor) Robert Widseth.

Inspectors-John Mansfield and Arnie Solem. The evening of Thanksgiving a party was held in the parlor. After the eats had been disposed of,

Miss Paulsberg played the piano, and all joined in for a merry song-fest, which lasted well into the even- ing.

Our preceptor, who looks after the dormitory and sees that the rules are enforced, has a two-roomed apartment on the south side. We all think of him in the morning, as he sounds the gentle reminder that breakfast will be served in thirty minutes.

ROBERTSON HALL

Robertson Hall may well be called the most beloved dormitory on the campus, by the boys and girls alike. Without the home-like atmosphere of this dear old place, life on the campus would seem emp- ty indeed. Here we form true friendships, which are never forgotten.

When the Northwest School was first established, back in 1906, the cottage now used as the farm- house was used as a dormitory for girls. Later the girls lived on the third floor of the Home Economics building. Robertson Hall was built in 19 10 during the first year of Superintendent Selvig’s administration, and was named for Professor Robertson, the first superintend- ent of the Northwest School.

The house is managed by a system of self-government, the officers and representatives chosen by the house members being responsible for the conduct of the dormitory. These officers comprise a presi- dent, a vice-president, and two proctors from each floor. The president has full charge of the dormitory in the absence of the faculty preceptor. The proctors have authority to grant permission to students to leave their rooms during study hours, and also act a s advisers to the younger residents of the house.

At that time there were eight girls enrolled.

During the present year it has been the home of fifty-one girls.

The officers who have served during the present year are as follows:

President-Jennie Peterson. Vice-President-Adele Raymond. Proctors-(First floor) Francis Lindahl ;

(Second floor) Anna Peloski; Florence Daugherty ; (Third floor) Iva Dobbdal ; Hannah Martinson.

This is a very satisfactory form of government, since it teaches the students to depend upon their When own judgment to some extent, for the proctors must keep their halls quiet during study hours.

anyone disobeys the rules of the dormitory, the proctors administer justice.

Here’s where we giggle, Here’s where we grin, Here’s where we study, With vigor and vim.

Here’s where we scold, Here’s where we sigh, Here’s where we sleep, Till breakfast time’s nigh. So summing it up, Taking all in all, We all do enough, In Robertson Hall.

Editor’s Waste Basket “If Boys were Girls and the Girls were BOYS.”

Now, wouldn’t it be funny if, for just one day, the senior boys were the girls and the girls were the boys? What a hubbub would take place in the boys’ cloak room. Imagine Oscar Peterson prancing around with a powder puff in one hand and a thin mirror in the other. See Johnnie Gronner figuring before the looking glass and asking, in an agonized voice, “Oh, Charles, is my hair all right in back?”

In the corner of another room, William Johnson is passing around a huge box of fudge and telling a few of his most intimate friends a very mysterious tale which they promise “never to tell a soul.” And here comes Emil Nelson in a most wonderful “hobble,” mincing along as fast as the skirt will permit. And there is Louis Emerson weeping piteously and telling Mr. Hinrichs that he must go home, for his head is “simply splitting.” Near the English room door, Lloyd Ness is telling his admirers how many, many par- ties he has been to lately, and that the boys are just about “wild over him.”

And then, turning the tables, imagine Minnie Torpet coming up to Naime Nansen, and after a re- sounding whack on the back, saying: Then, too, we might see Inga Folvick stalking down the hall, whistling cheerily; and there goes Esther Sandem tearing upstairs, five steps a t a time, stopping long enough o n the landing to pummel her good-natured friend, Neva Gibbons, who is making her descent by way of- the banister. In the upper hall, Hannah Martinson, having bumped ruthlessly into poor little Henry Nabben, assists him politely to his feet and continues her way. There goes Una Briden down the hall, jingling the keys and spare change in her pocket with great importance. As for Thelma Torkelson, the sporty cut to her suit, as well as her remarkable pompadour, excites the admiration of every one, little Lloyd Bolstad in particular, to whom this dashing hero is quite an idol-but after all aren’t we glad that the boys are boys, and the girls are girls.

If Walter should cease coming to Robertson Hall. If Jennie didn’t get a letter. If Minnie and Ila got an A in English.

“There’s a train a t 4.04,” said Miss Jennie. “Four tickets I’ll take. Have you any?”
