SENIORS HAVE HOBO PICNIC
The Academy seniors "hoboed"
to the picnic at Sherman Park
October 23. Thirty members of
the class were present with Prof.
Carl R. Youngdahl, the class ad-visor.
The seniors were all dressed in
hobo-fashion in all the odds and
ends that the individual members
could muster. Ralph Lundahl was
awarded the honor of being the
ideal "hobo."
Gathering on the campus at four
o'clock they marched to Sherman
Park, where the program was held.
After a repast of hot weiners,
pickles, marshmallows, and apples,
the afternoon until dark was spent
in playing games and singing songs.
On Thursday evening Oct. 19
Miss Dagna Berg, Mezzo-soprano,
Miss Isa Duncan, violinist, and Miss
Alette Jahren pianist, of the
Augustana school of music rendered
a pleasing program to an audience
which filled the Chapel to capacity .
The program opened • with an
aria "Know'st Thou Not" from the
opera Mignon, by Thomas, sung
by Miss Berg. This was followed by
"My Heart Ever Faithful," by Bach.
The fine modulations of tone and
shades of expression which this
song requires were brought out
with an ease and spirit that was
impressive. Other numbers by
Miss Berg were "'Chi Vuol La Zin-garella
by Paisiello, "Se Tu
M'Ami, Se Sospiri", by Pergolesi
"Der skreg en .fugl" by Sinding
"The Last Hour", by Kramer,
"Trees" by Rasbach; and "To e
Hill Top" by Cox.
Miss Isa Duncan played two
groups of violin solos: "Serenade"
by Schubert-Elman and "Ballet
music"by ,Schubert-Kriesler; "Vien-nese
Spirit" by Czerwonky; and
"Gavotte" by Mozart. These were
rendered in a truly artistic manner
which impressed the audience ver7
much.
Miss Alette Jahren who accom-panied
both Miss Berg and Miss
Duncan on the piano showed great
skill as an accompanist. There
seemed to be a sympathetic under-current
in her accompaniments
which caused them to blend into
the solos and become a part of
them.
This is the first musical pro-gram
which has been given at
Augustana this year but we are
eagerly looking forward to others
of the same kind. Prof. Carl R.
Youngdahl, dean of the school of
music will give an osgan recital
in the near future.

HALLOE'EN PARTY
GIVEN BY JUNIORS
Annual Hallow'en Enjoyed by
Students, Many Appropiate Cus-tumes
To Be Seen.
Weird ghosts met the gala clad
students, escorted them to the din-ing
hall for the Hallowe'en party
which the Juniors gave last Mon-day
evening.
The hall was tastefully decorated
in the colors of the season, orange
and black. Streamers adorned the
ceiling; jack-o-lanterns were on the
lights and the windows; and corn
shocks aided in giving the proper
setting for the program.
De Feet Family Win First Prize
The costumes were many and
varied. Royalty mingled with peas-ants,
and tramps with dudes. Near
the close of the evening prizes were
awarded to the "best dressers." The
De Feet family, consisting of Misses
Marguerite Larson, Bernice Halvor-son,
Louise Solberg, Eldora Olson,
and Julia Tisthammer, were award-ed
a genuine ring as first prize, and
Ralph Lundahl, for his impersona-tions
of a "hobo" was given a
"thing to look at but not to im-itate."
The evening was spent in mean-dering
around and guessing at
who's who. Interspersed with this
were numerous Hallowe'en contests
and games.
The men found their partner for
the refreshments in a peanut. Pump-kin
pie-a-la-mode and coffee, and
apples furnished a delicious repast.
After a Junior song and a few
yells by the several classes the
party dispersed.

EIGHTY DOLLARS FOR THE
GYM.
Eighty dollars were realized from
the Berg-Duncan recital, October
19, said Mr. Iverson of the
Athletic Board. This sum has been
turned over to the gymasium fund
Leif Fjellestad Who Has Captained
for Two
Next Saturday the Vikings will
meet the Sioux Falls College grid-sters
on the local field. This will
undoubtedly be one of the close
games •o f the season as both teams
have been playing excellent football
of late which is the result of hard
practice.
The Vikings are working • hard,
trying to get the team in the best
possible condition for the game.
Gunderson who has had an injured
back is rapidly recovering from
his injury and is expected to hit
the S.. F. C. line for many good
gains. Captain Fjellestad - and Hal-vorson
at halves have shown good
form in the other games and are
expected to lead the Augies to a
victory. The local team will be
outweigh.ted twenty pounds to the
man but despite this the Vikings
are determined on victory.
CANTON NORMAL NOV. 11
On Armistice day the locals will
go to Canton to battle the Normal
School of that city. Last year
Augustana beat Canton by the close
score of 14 to 13, and as both
teams have improved considerably
the score will probably be as close
this year. The Normalites have
won every game thus far this sea-son
and will undoubtedly put up a
desperate fight when they clash
with the Vikings.

GYM. BUILDING BEING PUSHED
Work on the gymnasium is go-ing
forward steadily. The con-crete
work was begun Monday and
will be completed the latter part of
the week.
Bids for the brick work are being
solicited and the contract will prob-ably
be let at the end of tills week.
At a Student Union convocation
the members decided to make the
first payment of their pledges by
November 10. The students at Au-gustana
last year pledged over $5,-
000.00 to the gymnasium to be
paid in three annual installments.
the Blue and Gold Football
Seasons.
Teams
Last Friday, Augustana, staging
a comeback in the second half,
took a close game from the Flan-dreau
Indians, 19 to 12. The In-dians
started out strong from the
very beginning, being ahead thru-out
the first half. At the begin-ning
of the game Gunderson fum-bled
the ball, the Indians recover-ed
it. After making several gains
around end the Redskins succeeded
in getting a touchdown on a for-ward
pass. The try for the point
was missed.
Flandreu Score in First Half
Then the Vikings receiving the
ball in the kickoff went for con-sistent
gains around the end as well
as through the line for their only
touchdown during the first half.
Hammer made the final point by
drop-kicking.
In the second quarter the In-dians
received the ball bringing it
into the visitors territory. On an-other
long forward pass the Red-skins
made their last score in the
game.
The Vikings kept the ball in the
Indian territory throughout the sec-ond
half and made two touchdowns.
Fjellestad and Gunderson made the
touchdowns for the visitors while
Turtle made both counters for the
Indians.
Halvorson and Levorson Star
Halvorson played a great game
for the Vikings circling ends for
long gains throughout the game.
Levorson at end also proved to be
a stellar player, often tackling the
Redskins for a loss. Eagle star-red
for the Indians.
The lineup was as follows:
Indians Augustana

Webster It Hauge
Crouse lg Anderson

THE SECOND CHOIR
BEGINS PRACTICING
The singers who had tried out
for the chorus met for the first
time Tuesday Oct. 24th and or-ganized.
The following officers
were elected : President—Har-riet
Hagen, Vice-President-Esther
C. Johnson, Secretary and Treasurer
—Anna Knudson.
This organization, under the
direction of Miss Berg, is planning
on working mainly with lighter
music. "We plan to make the work
done in the chorus directly opposite
to that done in the choir," said Miss
Berg. "This of course means that our
songs will be of a somewhat
lighter vein. While the choir sings
only sacred music, we will sing
nothing but secular."
Plans are already being made to
give an Operetta shortly after the
Holidays. Most of the work in the
chorus will undoubtedly be in pre-paration
for this. They plan to
give this as early as possible in
order that it may not interfere with
the choir trips, plays, and other
activities which are being planned
for the second semester.

AN INCIDENT
In connection with the construc-tion
of the gym. on Monday was the
descent of one of the pigskins into
the molten makings of the found-ation.
"Jack" Iverson proved the
hero when he made the perilous
descent and recovered the treasured
football.
The Vikings went down in defeat
before the Eastern Normal football
team in a rather ragged game of
football played on the local field
October 21. Fumbles were frequent
and neither squad showed up very
well. The final score was 21 to 7
in favor of the visitors.
Vikings Score in First Quarter.
In the first quarter of the game
the Vikings seemed to be certain
of victory, but in the second quar-ter
the visitors opened up a driving
attack which lasted throughout the
third quarter. The Normalites were
able to get three touchdowns in
these two periods which won the
game for them.
In the last quarter the Vikings
were able to hold the visitors. Twice
in this period the Augies were
within scoring distance but lost
the ball on fumbles.
Captain Fjellestad played a good
game for the locals, fighting hard
through the entire game. In the
first quarter on an off tackle play
he ran 45 yards which resulted in
the only touchdown for the Vik-ings.
Fjellestad also played an ex-cellent
defensive 'game, spoiling a
number of passes for the visitors.
Try for Point Successful.
For the winners, Hollenbeck, who
went in for Williams, starred. His
gains through line and around end
were consistently long, marked by
his great hitting power. His team-mate,
Hoffman, also showed more
than ordinary ability, going over
for two of the three touchdowns,
Hollenbeck making the other. The
try for the point after touchdown
was made successfully three times
by McLeod, Madison end.
It was fumbles which kept the
Vikings from evening the score
in the last half. Even when it
became apparent that victory was
impossible, Hammer sent Fjellestad
and Gunderson off on an attack
