Graduation • • •

What does graduation mean to a college student? One might be at a loss for an answer if suddenly asked such a question because of the circumstances surrounding the event. \Vhat are these circumstances which make it difficult for one to analyze his reaction to the present end of his formal education?

One is the great amount of time spent in writing application letters, filling in blanks, and planning so many of the things necessary to finding a position for the following year. A person has to join agencies, get pictures, check on certification requirements, and do much inquiring about addresses, form letters, data sheets and credit transcripts.

Secondly, the social events, especially for graduates, occur at increasingly frequent intervals. With the spring dance, :.lay Fete, graduates' banquet, prom, reception, commencement, and numerous activities outside of school, one is busy planning for two or three af­fairs all the time.

Another factor that helps to set our minds in a whirl is high school practice-teaching, which many do the last quarter. Final examinations and marks all demand due consideration.

But enough of the situation. What is the significance or meaning of achieving this goal which we set for ourselves some four years ago? It seems that the graduates' feelings fall into one of two classes. Some find that an ill-advise<l combination of majors and minors eliminates the apparent possibility of securing a position without going to school at least another year for a master's degree. The applicant finds himself in an overcrowded field or in one not included in any but large school systems. To such as these, commencement is the end. There seems to be nothing toward which to look forward unless the student enters a new field of activity.

Fortunately the other group fares better. If a contract has not already been signed, enough applying and planning is being done so that graduation is almost taken for granted regardless of course outcomes. The ceremony seems an anti-climax to persons busy in extra­curricular activities in and outside of school.

However, all of us experience in some way and degree, the inward thrill that is but a natural reaction to the celebration of such a really important occasion. So if it means spurring one on to more worth while accomplishments in the wise application of previously gained knowl­edge, it is indeed a valuable experience. Eagerness to finish school is a healthy indication that we want to make our start in the world and become accepted members of society with homes and families of our own-this, in spite of the fact that we have enjoyed so many worth while experiences in most, if not all, phases of our school life.

-S. V. B.

Alma Mater Most of the student body of this school have been led to believe

that up until a few weeks ago, they did not have an Alma Mater song. However, ask any of the seniors in this institution about it. They will tell you that although they dimly recall having heard the song, they have rarely had the opportunity to sing it. This has been unfortunate since it is a fine piece of music, written by a former faculty member ten or more years ago; the words are very appropriate for our college:

Far above the Big Sea water, High enthroned upon the hill, Stands the college home we claim our own Whose place none else can fill; '''ith the bright blue sky above her, And the rippling stream beside-We proclaim her beauty, but we love her best; Hear us now, our Alma Mater, As we pledge our faith anew; May we grow to be what in dreams you see: Minnesota's children true. In the life that lies before us, Whether skies be gray or blue, May we keep the vision that will lead us on­Alma Mater, hail to you!

In former years, this was sung at the Graduates' Banquet, but we have heard that this year the new song will be substituted. One of the reasons for the substitution seems to be "That no one knows the old one." But in spite of the fact that it was sung in the Chapel last Monday, who knows the new one?

As a member of this year's graduating class, I hope the song, "Far Above the Big Sea Waters" will not be left out of the program at the Graduates' Banquet.

Appreciation

The members of the Fortnightly Chronicle have had a long and busy year. They are to be congratulated for their industry and regularity in providing a news record of the college for the past nine months. Often this work has infringed upon the personal interests (study hours and pleasure) of the editorial staff, but there are worthwhile compen­sations. These students receive valuable training in mental dis­cipline and they become known to the faculty members as serious, conscientious workers. J. S.S.

THANKS TO YOU

Dr. Graybeal, Miss Fox, Miss Elwell, l\Iiss Harrison, l\Iiss Dunlap, and Mr. Tesar who assisted with various arrangements for the May Fete. It was only through the whole-hearted interest and co­operation with which you worked that the festival was such a success.

The Moon

The silver moon shines on high, While the sleeping world goes by In silence. I see it gleam And glow through drapes of Soft, white mist. Coldly, Brightly, it looks upon me And fills my heart with awe With its immensity.

Interested in Journalism? Among the suggestions made about the policies of the student

publications by the operating staff during the first year of the life of the FORTNIGHTLY CHRONICLE were: the proposal for a course in journal­ism, enlargement of the paper to at least five columns, membership in the National Press Association, and the inclusion of a<lvertisements. All of these proposals are valuable, but accor<ling to the present staff, the offering of a journalism course is of greatest importance. To ac­commodate the demand, a course in journalism will be offered during the fall quarter of the next school term. This should be of special interest to those who expect to work on the FoRTNIGIITLY C11RONtcLE, as a part of the staff will be selected from this class. Further, the class will be require<l to make contributions to the paper.

Other new courses included in the revised curriculum are: Elementsof Political Science, :\Ir. Bourgin instructor; Minnesota Plant J,ife,Dr. Lakela; Geology, Dr. Primm(•r; General Inorganic Chemistry,Dr. Cothran; revised courses in German an<l Fi"ench, l\!r. Nylander. In the l\lathematics Department courses will be given in AdvancedAnalytic Geometry an<l Trigonometry. The Speech Department will offer a course in Debate. There will be several new courses in the Eng­lish Department.

An old fashioned book with a clasp can't be beat as a missile to hurl al a dog, and a large book like a geography is as good as a piece of tin to nail over a broken pane of glass.

HARMONIES J. E. S.

RADIO HIGHLIGHTS . Lovers o_f fine music will appre­

ciate knowmg that all the splendid symphonic programs will not be absent from the airlanes this sum­mer. This being the last issue of the Fortnightly Chronicle, I want to recommend the folio.wing programs of especial interest for summer pleasure. Perhaps most of you are acquainted with them and are regular listeners already. Sunday is the day of most symphonic music. All the following programs are listed according to C. D. S. T. At 12 noon NBC-WEBC presents the RCA Magic Key l1our program with appearances of familiar con­cert artists. From one to two in the afternoon, CBS-WCCO (Minne­apolis) brings a highly varied con­cert by Howard Barlow and the Columbia Broadcasting Company Symphonies, featuring composi­tions of the masters down to con­temporary moderns. This orches­tra will replace the New York Phil­harmonic concerts during the sum­mer months, and is comprised of musicians who play during the regular season with major orches­tras. From six to seven p. m., over NBC-WEBC is heard another of the NBC Symphony Orchestra programs. Sunday, May 28, this orchestra, under the direction of Hans \Vilheim Steinberg, will play Beethoven's Egmont Overture,an American Symphony, a scherzo, and \lozart's E Flat .Major Sym­phony. From eight to nine the same evening, l\lay 28, CBS­KDAL sponsors the Ford Hour featuring Alec Templeton, pianist. Incidentally, this will be the first summer in all if its five seasons that this favorite program remains on the air. Beginning June 11, and for the following thirteen weeks, James l\Ielton, popular tenor of opera, concert and radio, will be featured as solist.

Nor can I omit mentioning the Firestone Garden Concerts over NBC-WE BC each l\Ionday at 6:30 p. m. with Alfred Wallenstein'sorchestra and Richard Crooks, tenor; and .Margaret Speaks, so­prano, alternating concerts. (By the way, did you know that \liss Speaks is a niece of Ole Speaks, co mposer of "Sylvia," ").Iorning," "Road to l\landalay," and other American favorites?)

SCHOLASTIC AWARDS Under a new system devised by

officials of the music department, scholarships are to be awarded annually to one student from each of the junior, sophomore, and freshman classes. The awards are to be made on a strictly merit basis. Announcement of the re­cipients of this year's scholarships will be made shortly.

"Listening to music is an art. To listen intelligently to music is an accomplishment few have acq uired."-:\loore.

l\IUSICAL ABILITY (Con<lensed from Science Month­

ly, ;\larch, 1939, Science Service.) You need not be a great compo­

ser or orchestra leader to be cred­ited with the blessing of a musical appreciation.

Musical talent is bestowed on man in a great variety of forms and degrees, and the ignorant railroad worker enjoying the rhy­thm of his hammer blows has his share as does the critic at the opera.

Underlying all musical ability are the four sensory capacities of apprehension of pitch, loudness, time, and timbre, which has been pointed out by Dr. Carl E. Sea­shore, psychologist-student of mu­sical talent in analyzing the musi­cal mind as part of his new book, Psychology of Music.

These four capacities, and their more complex forms the sense of tone quality, of volume, of rhythm, and of consonance Dr. Seashore calls the great branches of the musical family tree. They are in­born and fully developed in the very young child. By the age of ten, a person's musical talent can be measured, so that the child's native musical ability can be esti­mated before his training.

A great musician tends to have these four types of capacity branch­ing out in balanced and symmet­rical form, but in most of the less distinguished musical minds some one branch is dominant.

Musical achievement does not depend upon great capacity in all lines, Dr. Seashore says, so Jong as the individual follows the line of his ability. If a person has only average sense of pitch, for example he should not try to be a singer or violinist, but he may become a pianist of great distinction.

With the underlying element of sensory capacity, the musical mind has the ability to hear with his "mind's ear." Such a person must live in a world rich in auditory images. He must be able to hear over music in memory and create new musical structures in his ima­gination. The musician must be able to think musically; he must have musical intelligence. And fin­ally, he must be able to feel musi­cally and express a wealth of emo­tions in music by esthetic deviation from the regular and rigid.

RADIO IIlSTORY In 1896 Marconi sent the first

electro-magnetic waves without the use of wires. Then, on ;\larch 27, 1889, wireless communication was established between England and france, a distance of thirty miles.

Broadcasting, as we now know the term, began experimentally in 1916, at Medford Ilillside, :\Iass­achusetts; and the Detroit News,the first newspaper to establish a radio-news station, began broa<l­casting daily programs in August, 1920. Almost simultaneously, Pitts­burgh opene<l a more powerful station under the direction of the Westinghouse Co., and thus less than two <lecades ago was begun a movement whose course has been marked with wonderful progress.

PHILOKALIA Since picnics seem to be the

rule, Philokalia had an impromptu picnic in the Glen on May 16. Someone remarked that the at­mosphere was that of the woods if you didn't notice the buildings on the campus. Miss Dunlap, ev:er ready with her camera, took pic­tures of the group activities. Mil­dred Hansen and Eunice Falk were welcomed as new members.

Last Thursday, May 18, the Club visited Colleen Moore's Doll House which was on exhibition downtown. The group seemed to think that no words of their voca­bulary were adequate to descr_-ibe the exquisite interior and furnish­ings of that doll house.

On May J 8, Harriet Henry, a former student, gave a demonstra­tion on making a mask.

DISCUSSION CLUB Last Wednesday afternoon the

club members had their annual picnic at Fond du Lac. Activities inch1ded baseball, horse-shoe, fish-ing, and, of course, eating.

An important part of the meetmg was the election of the president for next year, Wilson Ericson. The Vice-president and secretary will be elected at the first regular meeting next fall. . This was the last meetmg of theclub for this year. The club wishes to thank its out-going officers for their fine work this year. They were Josephine Bronczyk, Presi­dent; Reginald Mead, Vice-presi­dent; and Julia Barker, Secretary­Treasurer.

WOMEN'S CLUB The Women's Club held its

annual election of officers on March 8, in the assembly. The following girls are officers for 1939-40: Joyce Wiles, President; Dorothy Tarald­sen, Vice-president; Doris Gooder, Secretary.

This year the election was held early in order to facilitate planning for the Big Sister program to be held again next fall. Big Sister pro­grams, inaugurated at D. S. T. C. last fall, have been adopted by sev­eral of the teacher's colleges as well as many of the other colleges of our state.

Plans for a picnic at Chester Bowl were discussed. Later coffee was served in the lunch room.

Summer School students include Allan Niemi, Mae Matalamaki, Ed Korenchen, June Swenson, Doris Gooder and Ed Stephon.

And then, Chet Nagolski -(quote) - "I'm going to bury myself!"

Can a tired soul renew.

\\'hen the world has trampled me When my heart is crushed and

torn, I'll wander down to the lonely

sea Where the mist slips up at morn.

And only the lake shall feel my tears,

Only the wind shall hear my sigh, Only the stars shall calm my

fears, Only the earth shall see me die.

Ornithology Class

Recently the members of the Ornithology Class discovered fil­arial worms in the connective tis­sue of the eyeball of a Broad­winged Hawk. The hawks, collec­ted by Mr. L. Hackl, a taxidermist, were being prepared into study skins by Casimir Hero and Odin Brendengen when this was dis­covered.

According to Dr. W. A. Riley of the University of Minnesota, the worms belong to the genus Oxys­pirura, and are known as the eye­worms of poultry. They have been reported found previously only in owls and grouse.

The local findings place this parasite on record as being follnd in hawks.

With all the rush of last week's activities I almost forgot you, Gussie. Also exams are with us again; even though I'm stuck be­tween two pages of Shakespeare, news still finds me.

Don Le Due is looking for big­ger and better excuses. It seems he and Cleo were "stalled" by the pier one evening, but as soon as another college stude drove up, his car by some mysterious power could start again.

Rumor has it that there is one reason why Mickey McLennan visits Cloquet so frequently, in fact, every week-end.

One day after May Fete re­hearsals Dody Gooder stepped out the front entrance and remarked, "Gee, it's warm! I better get home before it snows." \Nho says Dody wouldn't make a good weather woman for this city?

Oh, Gussie, I feel empty on the inside. Do you realize that this is our last letter? Maybe the Journal­ism class of next fall will revive us as "Hector and Cassandra" or some such. But our noses for news will remain anyway, as if that could be a consolation.

And when I think that I'll probably never see some of these graduating seniors again, "My heart leaps up ... " and then it almost chokes me. Four years you're with them and then ... they walk out of your life forever. The only things left are memories.

Please, Gussie, bring an extra large handkerchief to commence­ment.

Sorrowfully I leave, Susie
