Returns From Quarter
Exams Are Favorable
Junior Extension College
Has Fine Record Among
First Year Students

Sank Centre Junior Extension
College this week received returns
from the quarter examinations rec
emily given in the college by rep
resentatives of the University Of
Minnesota, it was announced by
acting dean, Ira L. Plummer, as
number Of students who passed and
received University of Minnesota
credits were announced.
Results Of the examinations dis
closed: American Government and
Politics and II, passed, 16 fail
ed. or 20 per cent; Economies vi
and VII, 10 passed, failed, per
cent 52.6; European Civilization I
and II, 5 passed, A failed, percent
age passed 55.5; German I and II,
passed, failed, percentage pass
ed 80; Higher Algebra, 9 passed, 4
failed, percentage passed 64.6.
"Six students passed in all sub
jects up on which they took exam
nations, and several others passed
all tests but the difficult American
Government and Politics one"
Mr.. Plummer said. The six who
passed in all examinations are list
ed in the order of their grades:
Marie Mischke, Kenneth Forsberg,
Russell Larson, Maurice Mischke,
Marguerite Hoffman and Alton
Leverson.
Marie Mischke and Kenneth
Forsberg averaged respectively A
and B plus, Mr.. Plummer said in
his resume.
In the obviously difficult Govern
ment and Politics examination, not
only was the passing percentage
low, but the highest mark made by
any student was a G, and this
mark was made by a student who
made AS in the other two sub
jects in which examinations were
taken, it was pointed out.
On the basis of College Aptitude
Tests, rating the college students,
University findings in determining
ability to do college work were
born out in the first examinations,
Mr.. Plummer said. There were ten
students who had the specified rat
ing or better and of these, none
failed in either higher algebra or
German I and II, only one of the
number failed in Economics vi
and VII, but six failed in the
American Government and Politics
and II, Mr.. Plummer reported.
It should be born in mind that
this was the first comprehensive
tests the students have taken, Mr..
Plummer said, and the tests ran
from three to four hours in length.
Application, he said, is just as i'm
portant in making good grades as
students native ability, his prepara-
ton, or the instruction which re
receives.
Other examinations will be given
at the college June II to IA, he
announced. At that time tests will
be given in English Composition,
w, ", and vi, German III, Geo
logy I, American Government and
Politics III, College Algebra, Sociol-
ogy I, and Trigonometry.

walton you have exemplified today.
In a larger sense, you are not pre-
senting this tree to the school

ut is fitting on this beautiful
day that you as young Americans
should take this opportunity of
symbolizing the intention Of future
Americans by planting this living
memorial as a monument to the
new ideas of the American people
in the conservation Of its natural
resources" instructor Don Clough,
under whose department the pro-
gram originated, told the group.
Students sang America the
Beautiful" and the song setting to
Joyce Kilmer's immortal Trees"
as a part Of the outdoor ceremon-
les. Rev. r. M. Harris gave the
invocation at the planting obser-
vance.
In an indoor preliminary pro-
gram students traced the history
of conservation and forestry con-
troll work both in the United States
and in Minnesota. Evelyn Beste,
Julian Conkey, Esther Korte, Lois
Hansmann, Fred Cooper gave pre-
pared talks on the rise of conser-
vationism, the history of national
forests, the growth of state forestry
organization, and the meaning of
Arbor Day.
The ceremonies struck a new
note in the school, principal Miss
Clifford Everhart explained. The
program had been planned for last
year but weather conditions pre-
vented carrying out the idea.

WHEREAS, although agriculture
for many years last past has not
had it's fair share of national in
come and although substantially all
of the wealth and property, both
personal and mixed, of the farm
ers were mortgaged or pledged or
hypothecated for as much or more
than the total value of the assets
held by such farmers in a previous
attempt to extricate themselves
from a long continuing process
through adverse conditions over
which they had not control, and al
though Congress recognized the
urgent need for aid, succor and re-
lief, and did give such a relief,
Congress exacted that such relief
so given be repaid at a high rate
of interest, making such repayment
a preferred claim, particularly
against estates of deceased persons,
thereby working cruel and un-
just hardship, further depressing
agriculture, causing bankruptcy,
loss of homes with resulting ten

such aid given, particularly to
farmers in drouth stricken areas

Mixed Chorus And
Orchestra Staged Fine
Musical Performance

Sank Centre schools music de-
partment, with it's 3-year-old orch
estra and it's newest organization
the mixed chorus, paraded instru-
mental and vocal talent of more
than one hundred students in the
third annual spring concert in. the
new auditorium last Thursday eve
ming.
The orchestra, under the direc-
ton of Ed Kitzberger, and the new
choral group of mixed voices, lead
by Miss Lillian Krogh, struck a
respondent chord in the near 300
who attended the performance.
Newest note in the perform
ance was the appearance of the
mixed chorus. Not particular
ly new is the mixed chorus in
itself, but rather the technique
of using entirely religious mus
ic is counted an innovation.
Miss Krogh, one time student
at st. Olaf, borrowed heavily
from the master chOrister, F.
MeliUs Christensen, in tech
nique.
The performance of the group
marked a new advance in this
city's public school music. It's
heightened interest tremendous
ly, instructors say. Miss Krogh
pointed out that student interest
borders on enthusiasm. That's
half of it," she said.
Behind both these groups of per-
forming individuals is another
group of embryo musicians, Kitz-
berger, instrumental instructor,
said. We're reaching down into
the grades in both departments to
bring up our reserve" he said. The
orchestra this year was critically
rated among top organizations in
the B class at a recent 18th dis
trict music festival.
Work of the chorus in Bach's
wake, Awake" the Bohemian folk
song, Carol Of the Shepherds"
and Christiansen's To-day There Is
Ringing" provoked immediate in
terest in the audience in this new
type of a cappella work.
The orchestra performed in the
second group of numbers. "Over-
ture Gems" and the haunting
Down South" a medley opened
their portion of the program.
Standout performance as an in
strumental soloist was that of 9Th
grade student Marjorie Westhoff.
A half hour before the program
she learned the music had been
lost, but without a hitch she went
through the light-fingered clarinet
solo, Dance Joyeuse." Accompan-
ist was Margaret Whitson. Rom
anze," by Bach, was Larayne Pend
roy's solo offering. Student on
both violin and French horn, and
recently tried for the All-American
Youth orchestra that will tour
South America under Stokowski's
direction, Miss Pendroy on the
French horn, played Bach's theme.
Accompanist was Rosemary Morse,
who handled the piano for orches-
trail numbers.
Second group for the chorus gave
Rain and the River" in the char
acter Of a spiritual, top billing. 1t
featured as a unison solo, with
choral background, the base sec
ton. Agnes Del" in this group
was beautifully done. Only solo
work in the chorus was done in
Lord of Spirits" Hazel Payne
handled the soprano work.
The orchestra closed the pro-
gram. March of the Tin Soldiers"
opened their second group. Violins
and Margaret Wilson's flute solo
work, with orchestra background,
featured the number. Richard
Wagner's Operas" was the most
difficult of the ochestra's numbers.
They closed with Mercury Over
