College To Honor Miss Dimmitt

Morningside College has chosen a living m.emorial for a beloved instructor who has spent her life t eaching Latin to generations of its students. From her they have learn­ed as much about real living as they have about the "dead" language which she teaches.

Although r etired, she still t eaches and the students who attend daily classes in her home thoroughly appreciate the alertness of mind and richness of experience which make her such a scholarly and under stand­ing teacher.

The board of trustees at its meeting on Tuesday, April 13, vot ed to name the Women's Residence Hall in honor of Miss Lillian Dimmitt, now dean emeritus. The formal ceremony of the naming of the hall will be held on Saturday evening, May 29, following the annual dinner of alumni and ex-students at the dormitory.

Miss Dimmitt began her career at Morn­ingside in 1893, one year before the college changed its name from Univer sity of the Northwest. As an instructor in languages, she came t o know thousands of students intimately over the span · of more than half

TRUSTEES ORDER QUICK ACTION ON FIELD HOUSE

The Morningside college board of trus-tees acted to speed the building of George M. Allee gymnasium, directing its building committee to proceed immediately to get plans, estimates and bids for construction of the projected $305,000 structure.

Rev. J. C. Buthman, secretary of the board, said the trustees adjourned their meeting to reconvene at the call of the chairman as soon as the building commit­tee can present detailed plans. Only preli­minary sketches of the proposed new gymnasium and fieldhouse have been ob­tained up to this time. It was indicated the trustees want to go ahead with con­struction just as soon as necessary pre­liminaries are worked out. In the campaign now in progress, college officials said $223,005 of the $302,000 goal has been pledged.

If the ground breaking does not occur earlier, the ceremony will be a part of the commencement program.

SADIE HAWKINS DAY AT MORNINGSIDE

Maw and Paw Roadman

GUIDES HINTON FOR 25 YEARS

Supt. Merle V. Shafenberg has nailed 25 calendars on the locker wall as Hinton high school's basket ball coach. The end of this season marked his "silver anniversary'' as cage pilot for Hinton quintets since he came out to the school in 1923 and during the quarter century the g raying but spring-stepped mentor has sweat out more than 600 games.

Summing up his basketball philosophy, he said: "I teach them to win-not just ·win by any mean-but to win fairly." Asked about the basketball batting average of the past 10 years, he pondered almost 10 sec­onds and came up with: "Approximately 225 wins against 35 lost since 1938." He

sent his team to the state tournament in Des Moines in 1940, but was nosed out in the first round play, losing to Diagonal by one point.

Coach Shafenberg was graduated with a B. A. degree from Morningside college in 1921. He lettered four years in track and three in basketball. A quarter and half­miler, he captained the track team one year and skippered the basketball team two years. He returned to school at the Univer­sity of South Dakota in 1939 to get a master's degree in school administration .

Louis Croston, '30, of Sioux City, acted as master of ceremonies at the program

Morningside Coll ege students had a half­holiday Wednesday, April 7, to celebrate Sadie Hawkins day. Loyal Dogpatchers, dressed in their best old clothes, met when classes were dismissed at 12 :30 in front ofMain · Hall and proceeded, led by a noisy but ever-present band from the Con to Peters Park, where they announced to the world that Sadie Hawkins' Day was offici­ally in progress. After the parade the com­pany moved "en masse" to Bass Field (Skunk Hollow for the day) to eat lunches and participate in the traditional sports of the day.

The events began when scores of girl students chased bearded "eligible bache­lors" and then dragged their victims to a mass mock wedding. A baseball game be­tween a fat girls' team and skinny girls' team and several comic races were featur­es of the program .

The dance at the gym climaxed the day's events where Daisy Mae and Lil' Abner reigned in Dogpatch style. Selected during the dance intermission were Laurie Lake of Sioux City as Daisy Mae and Worthy Usher of Rowan, Iowa, as Lil' Abner. Chosen as Lil' Abner's Mammy was Jane Marie Soiseth of Sioux City, and Pappy, Clinton E . Burris, librarian at the college.

The Maroon thin clads under track coach " Chuck" Obye have been showing up ver y well this spring. It is the first time in many years that Morningside h as h ad a complete track squad with men participat­ing in each t rack and field event .

In the recent quadrangular meet between Morningside, Wayne St at e Teachers col­lege, Buena Vista college and Omaha University the Maroons placed second and won five ribbons. J im Daniels, speedysprint man, won the 100-yard dash in 10.0. Vic Nielsen won both the high and low hurdle events; Bob Norris the 440-yard run ; and Don Ford, pole vault.

In the Corn Palace Relays Jim Daniels, who got third in the 100-yard dash, was the only Maroon contestant to place.

The Maroons did better in the Sioux City Relays. Daniels won second in th e century run; Nielsen , t hird in t he high hurdles ; Bill Um barger, fourth in the high jump; and the two-mile relay team composed of Bob Norri s, Bill Blakesly, Bill Hansen, and Don Keck took fourth place.

The Mar oons are point ing toward a better showing in the confer ence meet to be held at Sioux Falls May 15 t han has been made by a t rack squad from Morn-ingside college in m any years.

BASEBALL

The Maroon s won their season openerApril 19 on Bass field against Westmar (formerly Western Union) college, 3 to 11, behind the combined pitching of letterman

Bill Enock son and freshman Karl Kletsch­

ke, a promising lefthander from Wheaton,

Ill. E nock son started t o mound duties and

struck out four men while giving up one

hit and one run fi ve innings before being

relieved by Kletschke. Kletschke allowed

two hits while st riking out six batters dur­ing his turn on the hill. Catcher Don P r o­textor and Kletschke each banged out home r uns.

The Maroons garnered their second win April 13 by coming from behind to defeat Omaha University 11 to 6 on Bass field. The Omahans drew first blood and it was not unti l the sixth inning that t he Sioux Cityans were able to take over the lead on a four r un barrage. Again it was E nock son and Kletschk e t hat split the pitching chores. E nockson star ted the game and al­lowed seven hits and five runs in five in­nings while striking out six batters. Klet­schke held the Indians to two hits and one run and fanned four batters. P rotextor hit his second home r un and Enockson, first baseman Gale Stevens, and Captain Ho­ward Harmon, speedy centerfielder , each contributed a double to the Maroon cause.

Disaster hit the Maroon camp on April 16 and they dropped a 13 to 2 decision to the Iowa State Teachers college Panthers in the f ir st of a two-game series on Bass field. Enockson went the whole route giv­ing up 15 hits while striking out four men. The Maroons displayed a very ragged brand of ball th rough out the whole game, committing eight errors. The Maroonsopened the scoring in the first inning when Harmon hit a double that scored second baseman Chuck Johnson who got on base

by a walk, but failed t o follow it up. Karl Kletschke won his third game for

the Maroons April 17, by hurling a three­hit ball game that throttled the Iowa Teachers 4 to 3 in the second game of t he series on Bass field. In doing so Karl ran his strikeout list to 20 for 17 innings of play. The Tutors scored three r uns in their half of the fifth frame but the Maroons came r ight back and evened up the count in their half. Johnson got on by a hit and scored on an error. Stevens got on by an error and then Harmon hit his first home r un of the season into deep center field that scored Stevens. The Maroons clinched the decsion in the seventh inning when Johnson got his seoond hit of t he after­noon, advanced to second on an error by Panther catcher Dorr, and scored on a passed ball.

The baseball game that the Maroons were supposed to have played with Creigh­ton Univer sity on April 23 was rained out and a double header will be played when the two t eams meet at Sioux City on the afternoon of May 7.

QUESTION: TO RUN OR NOT TO RUN

Mrs. Ralph Crary, (Margaret Coleman, '26) while browsing t hrough the library, discovered the following paragraph in T he College Girl of America by Mary Craw­ford which was published by Page and Co. of Boston in 1905:

"Morningside College, a Methodist in­stitution in Sioux City, is divided in fact­ions over a question of the rights of wom­an . The point at issue is whether a co-ed who can spr int faster than any man in the school has t he r ight to a place on its t rack team at the State inter collegiate field meet. Morningside possesses a sprinting young woman who at the field trials cover ed a fifty-yard dash in 0.05 1/4, a world's record for a woman. The best t ime made by a man was 0.06. T he co-eds, therefore, demand to know why their re­presentative should not go t o the state meet, where they are certa in she would beat any of t he men of the state colleges in the fifty and one-hundred yard dashes."

Editor 's Not e: A little sleuthing among students of the early classes revealed t he fact t hat the fleet -footed co-ed in quest ion was Ethel Gantt , well known for her athle- t ic prowess while in college in the early nineteen hundreds. Classmat es t estify t hat she really could outdistance the male mem­bers of the track team and could have won laurels for Morningside had a co-ed been a llowed to participate in the State meet. Luckily for the men, the ruling allowed no female to compete!

Ethel is now deceased, h aving been kill­ed in a car accident in California in 1936.
