The above picture indicates the entire equipment for school purposes of

the Northwest School of Agriculture in 1906. One building, constructed and

furnished at a cost of $15,000, accommodated everything,-administrative

offices, library, class rooms, kitchen, dining room, and dormitory apart­

ments. The legislature having made no provision, funds for school mainte­

nance were raised by private subscription among citizens of Crookston and

other places in Northwestern Minnesota. But for this patriotic popular

support, school could not have been opened at that time. In 1907 the legis­

lature appropriated $2500 to refund these private contributions and maintain

the school another year. The rapid growth of the institution, as shown by th~

picture opposite, indicates an appreciation of the need of such a school in tile

Northwest.

Every spring during commencement week the graduating class of theschool gives a class play.

The graduating class of 1914 gave "Back to the Farm," and it was a successfrom start to finish.

In the fall of 1914 the new Senior Class and some of the members of the Ad­vanced Course worked up this same play and gave it at the school auditoriumon November 15, and in Crookston during the Dairymen's Convent'on, Dec. 9.During the second semester it was given at Fertile, Ada, and Halstad, and alsoat Crookston during the Farm Crops Show on Feb. 17 and Feb. 19.

Another dramatic feature of the school was the presentation of a few pan­tomimes by some of the students on a Saturday ev~ning in October, 1914, wheneight scenes from "Skinny" were given. This was very much enjoyed by theaudience, but the other pantomime, "Miss Smith Entertains" was particularlygood as it showed her cleverness in concealing all her callers.

The Rural Teachers’ Training Course was first introduced at the Northwest School of Agriculture in October, 1913. The purpose of this course is to prepare young men and women to teach in rural and consolidated schools.

It has long been felt by the people of Minnesota that teachers for rural and village schools should be given special training that would fit them to meet the conditions that are found there. The Normal Training Course here meets that demand. Besides the work usually given for the training of teachers, the stud- ent teachers here a re given a thorough course in Domestic Science, Manual Training, Nature Study, Agriculture, and Arts and Crafts.

The Department maintains a n ungraded model school which is composed of children from the campus and surrounding community. This is the first year the model school has been organized, hut it has proven a great success.

During the early months of the year, the student teachers observe this model school under the supervision of the instructor. Later, after some knowledge is obtained in the process of teaching, and managing a school, the student teachers take charge of the model school. Under the close supervision of the instructor, two teach a week a t a time, one acting a s principal and the other as assistant. During the last two months of the year each student will have the entire charge for a week.

It has been planned that during the last two months of the term, the stud- ent teachers will visit the rural and village schools around Crookston. This will enable the students to become acquainted with schools other than the model school.

This gives a practical training in the teaching process, and will enable these young men and women when they get out into their schools to do skillful and competent work.

At the end of the year if the work has been satisfactorily done, the student teachers will receive a state first grade certificate which will he renewable indefinitely.

A~nattrr~ OIOUf.arThis course was established in 1914. It was established in order to provide

suitable preparation for graduates of this school and other qualified studentsthat they might enter the College of Agriculture, and there obtain more knowl­Eldge of the scientific side of agriculture.

The fact has been appreciated for some time that many of the studentsgraduating from this School have a keen desire for the further pursuance ofthe field of study opened to them here; and further, that there ha:; been practi­cally no place in which they might prepare themselves for such pursuits. It isthe aim of the School, in establishing the Advanced Course, to provide a coursegiving such preparation.

As the course is so new there have been only a few to take advantage of itthus far, but judging from inquiries received from former graduates and fromthis year's Seniors, the enrollment for this course will be greatly increased nextyear.

Some of the higher studies taken up in this Course are Solid Geometry,General History, English, Rural Sociology, and Agricultural Economics. In pur­suing these subjects there will be developed systematic thought and logical rea­soning on some of the higher and vital problems of life.

Some of the subjects of the Course and the ormal Course are the same. Insuch subjects, both classes recite together and this association with the comelyand brilliant school teachers (future tense) forms no small inspiration for themembers of the Advanced Course.

The Junior class is composed of forty-six exceedingly bright and industrious

students.

The fact that they are not idle and lazy is shown by the high marks they

receive from the teachers. They do not expect to get something without work­

ing for it.

The programs given by the Junior Class at the Auditorium were well at­

tended. The students always go to these programs because they know they will

hear something worth listening to.

This class, although good in studies, is not left out of the sports. A few

fast and exciting basket ball games have been played with the class teams. The

first was played with the Seniors in which the Juniors were beaten by a few

points. The next game was played with the Freshmen who were defeated by a

large number of points. The Junior team is practising hard and expects to win

from now on. Later-they did.

The Junior Class was invited to attend a party given to them by Mr. and

Mrs. McCall, the class advisers, on the evening of January eleventh at Senior

Hall. After playing games, talking, and telling stories for a couple of hours, de·

licious refreshments were served. When thinking of the pleasant time we had

been having when walking home, we were glad that we were members of the

Junior Class.

Mighty is the Class of 1917, with its sixty-four fun loving, ambitious boys

and fifteen jolly enthusiastic girls. This above and aforementioned class, though

young, haye already shown their ability in countless ways. About thirty mem­

bers of this wonderful class arrived after Christmas, and the old Freshies have

put forth their best efforts to help and cheer the fresh Freshies, and now all the

members feel that they are a vital part of the great orthwest School of

Agriculture.

The first great Freshman event was a party given January 9 by the class

advisers, Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Sewall. Interesting and exciting games were played,

games in which not one of the ten girls present was left out. Time passed

quickly and pleasantly until 9: 30 when, after refreshments, the guests departed

feeling that they had passed a very enjoyable evening.

The second event was the Pie Social given to the faculty and the other

c1a1;ses on January 16, when they showed that they could entertain very

satisfactorily.

January 23 the Freshman basket ban team played their first game with the

Juniors. The Freshman team lost by a few points. The next game they played

was with the Seniors. The Freshmen by this time had gained much confidence

and skill, and won the game easily.

The Freshman programs have been great successes. How could they be

otherwise?

The Music Department of this institution is' becoming more and 'more ef­

ficient each year, and under the able instruction of Miss Gunderson, the Glee

Clubs and Mixed Chorus have done some very good work.

The Boys' Glee Club, consisting of fifteen members, has given some credit­

able performances both on'the home stage and in Crookston.

The Girls' Glee Club consists of eighteen members, and the two together

constitute the Mixed Chorus.

Under the leadership of Mr. Marshall Byrne, of Crookston, the band has made

wonderful progress, and has furnished some very excellent music. It has played

at different occasions at Crookston and at local social events, such as basket ball

games, literary programs, etc.

A number of the students are taking advantage of the opportunity of taking

vocal and instrumental lessons, and judging by the abundance of high class

music at the programs they seem to get along very nicely.

In the fall of 1910 the Pioneer Debating Club was organized by a body ofstudents who were especially gifted in the art of debate.

Our debating team met the Morris debating team last year, one team jour­neying to Morris and the other team staying here. The Morris debating teamswere successful both here and at Morris. Our teams meet Morris again thisyear, and are determined to win.

Very interesting discussions have been held, and the work of the club hasbeen carried out to the satisfaction of all concerned.

Mr. McCall, our coach, has been untiring in his efforts in behalf of the club.The Lincoln Debating Club was organized this year, with Miss Brown as

counselor.

The Young Women's Christian Association here was organized the first partof November, 1914, and most of the girls of the institution are members. Thefollowing officers were elected to serve until March when new officers will beelected for the following year. President, Esther Froshaug; Vice-President,Hazel Ingersoll; Secretary, Selma Nyquist; Treasurer, Elizabeth Strandness.

Esther Froshaug and Amanda Gordon were chosen delegates to attendthe State Y. W. C. A. Convention held at Fargo last November. A very interest­ing report was given by them on their return.

The purpose of an organization of this kind is to unite the efforts ,of the peo­ple along Christian lines and to make a better Christan of every student whobears the name.

This organization also helps to make interesting and attractive the jointmeetings held with the Y. M. C. A.

The Y. W. C. A. meets every other Sunday afternoon in the Robertson Hallparlor when the girl appointed by the committee leads the discussion of thetopic assigned. On the evenings of these Sundays a speaker is secured to ad­dress the members of both organizations.

The intervening Sunday evenings are spent in joint meetings with the Y. M.C. A. when members of either organizations lead the discussion of the sub­ject assigned.

This organization received much encouragement from Miss Adelia Dodge,who is Field Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. and llelps in forming new organizations.

A course in military drill is given at this school, and every student who is

physically able is required to take it. They are required to furnish themselves

with uniform while other necesEary equipment is furnished by the state.

The purpose of military drill is to improve the carriage of the young men,

and cause them to take on a straight·forward, manly appearance, and also turn

out young men who will be able to lead a corps of volunteers in case of

emergency.

The students, who prove themselves most efficient in drill, are promoted to

become officers, namely: Captain, First and Second Leutenants, First and

Second Sergeants, and Corporals.

During the school year of 1914·15 James Kirkeby became first lieutenant.

At the close of the year an opportunity is given to any student who holds an

office to take an examination, and if passed successfully can be promoted to a

higher office.

At the close of each term a final drill down is given. The one, who succeeds

in standing up the longest and make the least mistakes, receives a gold medal.

The one last year was won by John Best, who was first sergeant at that time.

More interest than usual was shown in the first team this year due to thefact that it was to consist of an entirely new five as all of the old men had left.Coach O. L. Buhr had charge again, and called for candidates early in the sea­son. From the men who reported, he selected Lindberg and Johnston for for­wards, Ole Pederson for center, Starr and N. Johnson for guards and Stensethand Grandy for substitutes.

Much work was necessary to get the team into shape for their first game.Consistent and diligent practice did the work, and just before the holidays theteam lined up against a team from Crookston, consisting of former stars of thisschool and some Crookston men. The "Aggies" displayed their knowledge ofthe tricks of the game and won by a score of 37-8, thus giving an indication ofwhat they could do. ,York was resumed immediately after the holidays, andthey won their first game against the Model High of N. D. University, GrandForks, by a score of 2 -14. The other games are shown in the scores on anotherpage. The playing of the team at times was brilliant and showed perfect teamwork with each man playing a star game. The best example of this was the vic­tory at Grand Forks with the high school of that city, score 38-25. The team hadthe support of a loyal crowd of rooters, about sixty strong, and their playingbordered on the sensational. Other games were not so well played, and accountfor the two defeats registered. Considering the fact that the team was com­posed of new material, the record made speaks for itself. The men workedhard and came out on the best end in a large majority of the games, thus up­holding the reputation of the school by their fast and clean work.

Athletics at the Northwest School during the year of 1914-15 were along thesame lines as in previous years, basket ball being the chief and important sport.The gymnasium classes were in charge of Martinus Stenseth, who came herewith previous training in a physical culture school. His method of conductingclass exercises and various setting up drills has been of great value to theboys in keeping them in fit physical condition. This work was given to all threeclasses, Senior, Junior and Freshmen.

The girls' physical culture class was in charge of Miss Grace Gunderson, andconsists of drills and various exercises tending to improve their carriage andgenerai physical condition.

Basket ball, the most interesting form of athletics at the school, again hadits large following of students and created a never ending source of amusementand excitemnt. The gymnasium was kept in constant use by the various classteams, and practice began early in the fall. At the beginning of the season itlooked as though the Seniors had a "cinch" on the chances for class champion­ship, but constant and hard practice by the Juniors and Freshmen teams soonput the three in one class, and it was a hard fight for each game. The champion­ship series was completed on March 6 when the Juniors won the championshipfrom the other classes by defeating the Seniors by a score of 22-17. The finalresult last year was a victory by the Seniors over the Freshmen in the decidinggame, giving the Seniors the pennant.

Due to the fact that the annual is being published earlier than is customary,it is impossible to include the annual indoor track meet. This meet will be heldsome time in March, and is anxiously awaited by the three classes.

The fifth annual Short Course was held at the School, Feb. 9 to 15, 1915.

The attendance was not as large as previous years, which, perhaps, was due to

the fact that so many short courses are now given in the surrounding schools,

and to the fact that the Farm Crops Show meetings attracted a great many who

could come for a week only. The Short Course gives to the people of this sec-

tion of the state who cannot attend the regular school course a practical educa-

tion in solving farm problems. Competent instructors are secured who have the

knowledge of the various farm problems.

rThe Fourth Anuual Farm Crops Show was given under the auspices of the

Minnesota Red River Valley Development Association and the Crookston Com-

mercial Club. Up to 1914 these exhibits had been organized and given by the

Northwest School of Agriculture. The 1915 show was held in the New Armory

at Crookston, and was the greatest show ever held in the Red River Valley.

Surrounded on all sides by a veritable sea of prize winning corn, the audience

gazed with deepest interest at a magnificent corn palace that had been con-

structed on the stage. Corn, howev,er, did not form all the attractive exhibit

features. The grain exhibits more than doubled those of any previous year, and

wheat, oats, barley, rye, flax, potatoes, etc., of the highest quality were shown,

evidencing that Northwestern Minnesota is still the bread basket of the world.

Premiums amounting to $3500 were awarded, including silos, machinery and

farm equipment of great variety besides silver cups and handsome cash prizes.

The Farm Crops Show has won the interest and the enthusiastic support of

the farmers and business men of the Red River Valley.
