tears to many eyes. We heard
this young man praise his COM

Frank never praised himself, but
we know him for his worth, and
to come to such a sad ending by
taking his own life was indeed a
severe shock.

chanan and o. G. Tracy took
the boys and girl sdown in cars
and were obliged to stay all
week on account of the heavy

In spite of the rainy weather
the week at the camp was a
very interesting one for the boys
and girls.
The following is a brief outline
of the weeks work. The camp
was conducted somewhat as q
military camp, each county form
ing a company and marching to
and from classes and meals in
company formation.
The girls were housed in the
dormatories while the boys slept
in the armory. Meals were serv-
ed at the collage cafeteria. The
bugle call sounded each morning
at 6:30 and the companies FORM
ed and marched to breakfast af-
ter which all of the companies,
both boys and girls stood at at
tentiOn while the colors were be-
ing raised.
From 8 to IL each morning
classes were held in corn, poul-
try, sheep, beef and dairy CATTLE.
horses and harnesses ropa tyiisiak(e1
and splicing and farm mechanics
for the boy and canning and
drying, sewing, poultry and dairy
for the girls.
It might be we'll to mention
here that in the sewing and can
ming classes three Roberts Coun-
ty girls were picked to demon
strate sewing and canning.
The afternoons each day were
given to inspection tours around
the campus, educational lectures,
athletics and play festivals.
After supper the different
companies formed and stood at
attention while the colors were
being lowered.
The evenings were given to
community singing, illustrated
lectures and educational and
comic movies.
The boys and girls camps are
becoming very popular and
there were $50 South Dakota
boys and girls at the camp this
year which is the second year
for the camp and there would
have been more had it not been
for the rainy weather and bad
roads.

Real Status of Hawaii Not
known BY Many

Honolulu-(By the Associated
Press )-Letters received here
by public officials indicate that in
many sections of the United
States there exists surprising
ignorance as to the real status of
Hawaii.
AS a territory Hawaii is an in
tegral part of the United States
and its political status is exact
ly the same as that of Alaska and
Oklahoma before the latter was
granted statehood. Governor G..
J McC Carthy frequently receives
letters addressed to '.The Ameri-
can Consul Honolulu"
One large mainland paper rec
entity speculted as to the possibili
ty of Hawaii seeking ''self deter
mination" apparently not know
ing that Hawaii is intensity Am
erican, despite its cosmopolitan
population, and that it's people are
extremely proud of the fact that
the territory has "gone over the
top" in every Liberty loan cam
paign and war charity drive.
A pupil in a public school in a
Nebraska town, evidently at the
instigation of his teacher, recent
ly wrote letter for delivery to
some scholar of Hawaii" describ
ing the game of base ball, and re-
lating the fact that he had his
meat cooked before eating it, and
asking for a description of simple
native life in the Paradise of the
Pacific.
1t is apparent that mislead-
ing conception of Hawaii has
ben drawn by many from popular
songs and light literature.
Honolulu with a white popula-
tion of approximately $4,000 has
more than 5000 automobiles
excellent street car service, cleo
trio lights, automatic telephones,
country clubs, golf links and all
the other social refinements.
While it is true that many
dusky beauties take daily dips at
Waikiki beach, they wear meade
in America bathing suits instead
of grass skirts, dance the fox
trot instead of the hula, and
spend their spare hours playing
golf at the country clubs or driv-
ing their cars over the scenic
roads Of Oahu instead of strum-
ming ukuleles beneath palm
trees for the entertainment OF
white beach comers and tourists.
Hawaii is in the tropics and g.
900 miles for San Francisco but
il very American part of the
nited States and the only move
ment known here that could be
interpreted as desire for "self
determination" is as occasional,
suggestion that statehood should
be sought.

High School Play Ably Presented

A large audience was enter
tanned at the opera house last
Friday evening, when the annual
class play was presented.
Nose" is a heavy production,
yet it sparkles with wit and hu-
NOR, and the players presented
it with real artistic ability. Re.
hearsals came at a time when
there was super abundance of
school work, and yet the cast
with due credit to Miss Atteln
who so ably coached them, car
ried the play through in very
acceptable manner.
Mel Crosby was an excellent
portrayal of the unwitable
Freshman and Millard Lien as
Thurston Hall, was a very good
character. Edward Linster had q
leading part, that of Nose, tn,
football hero, and he carried off
(! the difficult role in a most credit
able manner.
Frank Thornton, weak but not
wicked was ably impersonated by
Adelbert Peterson and William
Batterberry, Melvin Christianson
Carol Babcock and Kenneth
Carlberg were typical college
boys.
Max AlSer as little Thomas
Edward, drew spontaneous
burst of applause from the ap-
preciative audience. Peter Strand
took the part of Moses father
with ease. His make up was above
criticism. Arthur Stavig as
Warwick the Yellow Journalist
acquitted himself in his usual
pleasing way.
The actresses" of the play
were Dorothy Grover as Anne
Schuyler, who loves man for
his weakness; Eleanor Batter.
berry as Betty Carewe, who
loves Freshman and Verna
Humphner, Ethel Swanberg, and
Selma Hanson, college girls, Eve
| Ivy Stavig, as Mrs. Bone, The frat
housekeeper, Dorothy Ward and
Thema Torvick as chaperons.
Clara Martinson as Inga the maid
and Helma Hendrickson as Flea
nor Thornton. who loves a man
for his strength.
Each one played her part in a
pleasing manner and particular
credit was given Helma Hend-
rickson and Dorothy Grover who
had difficult parts which they
played with ease. Evelyn Stavig
at the frat housekeeper was close
to perfection. Verna Humphner,
Ethel Swanberg and Selma Han
son had excellent stage manners
and carried their role acceptably.
Dorothy Ward and Thelma Tor
wick as Chaperons looked and
acted the part we'll while Clara
Martinson impersonated Inga,
the maid to perfection. In fact
the characters all did justice to
their parts, and all surprised the
audience with their ability and
lack of endorsement when ap-
pearing before so large a crowd.
The play was a success in every
respect. Financially, it could not
have been better. Artistically, it
was excellent. The success of the
occasion was further enhanced
by the splendid music, rendered
by the Sisseton orchestra.
