Parker Confident of Bright Season For Scalpers
Coach Builds Promising Squad
Around Seven Returning
Lettermen
Seven lettermen, backed by a pro-mising squad of freshmen and last year's reserves, have returned to the college alumni field to give Huron a bright outlook for the grid season.
Coach Jerry Parker has had the boys out on an intensive drill for the past two weeks, and he views the situation in an optimistic manner. He believes the Scalpers will land in the top bracket by the end of the season, providing they are not jinxed by a series of injuries to their key players as they were in last year's gridiron wars.
The Huron mentor has seven vete-rans around which to build his squad. Captain Curtis McIntosh, half back, Bill Hauge, husky tackle, Joe Rogers, guard, and Paul Hohm, half back, are the lettermen who are returning as seniors, while the juniors come forward with Lyle Scheukle, quarterback, Kenneth Knapp, end, and Grant Pasek, fullback. Several other strong varsity bids, who saw service last year but failed to win letters, are back on the stamping grounds.
Hooley Gosch, last year's captain and all-conference tackle for two years, Merle Marshall, regular end four years, Frank Kinyon, reserve center, and about ten of last seas-on's players were lost to the team. Although the Scalpers have been weakened by these losses, Huron has bright prospects for a good team.

Notestein Made Professor Emeritus
"My contacts with Dr. Notestein have helped me." This and similar statements have been volunteered by Huron College students who have often arranged schedules to accomodate a Greek, a Latin, or a religion course because "more than subject matter is gained in his classes."
When the veteran professor handed in his resignation last spring after 35 years of service, the Huron College Board of trustees showed their appreciation of his work by making him "Professor Emeritus."
The faculty's regard for Dr. Notestein is summed up by Miss Louise French. "No one will ever show a keener interest in the finer things for Huron College."
Dr. Notestein, who is 82 year old, received his A. B., A. M., and D. D. degrees from the College of Wooster, Wooster, Ohio. He was also a graduate of the Western Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh in 1886.
He came to Huron College in 1903 when classes were held in the build-ing that is now the Royal Hotel, and he has served continuously.
During recent years Dr. Notestein has instructed the sons and daughters of many of his former students. His classes held a special appeal for this group.
Dr. Notestein has established his home in Brandenton, Florida, where he is followed by the best wishes of his friends.

TALENTED STAFF WILL PUBLISH
1939 RUBAIYAT
**********
Amos Hofer, Editor, and Glenn Parker, Manager, Begin Work on Annual
**********
Because the editor and business manager have had extensive experience with college publications, the 1939 Rubaiyat promises to be one of the best yearbooks Huron College has edited.
Amos Hofer was elected editor of the book at an election held by the junior and senior classes. Last year Amos was business manager of the Alphomega and managing editor of the Rubaiyat.
Glenn Parker will be business manager of the publication. Glenn held the same position on the last year's staff.
Hofer has already chosen his editorial staff. Marvin Trautman will be managing editor. The other staff members are: Mary Walker, feature editor; Macel Eggleston, music editor; Verna Jonason, class editor; Kathryne Kenny, society editor; Lloyd Musolf, sports editor; and Claud Smith, photo editor.
The little office to the right of the print shop is already a scene of action. One group picture has been taken, and a schedule for others will be announced soon. Many pictures taken by Paul Hohm last spring and this fall will be used in the annual.
Watch the Alphomega for further announcements concerning the progress of the 1939 Rubaiyat.

Pow Wow Day Awards Issued
**********
Huron Business Firms Give Generous Prizes
**********
At the Student Association meeting last Friday, Claud Smith presented the Pow Wow awards to several students and faculty mem-bers in acknowledgement of their activities during the homecoming events.
Five floats in the parade were awarded prizes. The YW and YM float was adjudged the most beautiful; the Power House float, the most original; the four clowns, the most humourous. The best Indian float was that of the Pi Alpha Phi Society. The Sophomore float won the class award.
Five persons won prizes for their costumes worn at the Thursday night snake dance. Ruby Corrington and "Pop" Peck were the best Indian girl and boy. Ewald Hohm and Amos Hofer were selected as the most humorous couple. The most original costume was worn by Joe Schade.
Princess Jeanette Jones received gifts and congratulations from Huron's businessmen. John Badhart and Bill Hauge also celebrities in the Pow Wow celebration, where presented with gifts.
The cheer leaders, June Sherburn, Ruth Elaine Knapp, Lorraine Lake, Ray Engbretson, and Zelton Hauck, were awarded prizes for their pep and cooperation during the three days of celebration.
Other students received gifts of recognition of the part they played in making the Pow Wow Days successful. They are Paul Haeder, Bill Beckman, Johnny Gaughan, Len Herther, Gail Hilgenberg, Marjorie Atkinson, Betty Martin, Glen Parker, Lyle Schuelke, Verna Jonason, and Claud Smith. The dormi- tory was given one dollar credit for radio service.
Bill Hauge reviewed the his-tory of Huron's Pow Wow Days. A day for "home-coming" was first esta-blished in 1920. In 1923, the idea of an Indian theme was introduced. An Indian cere-mony was presented between the halves of a football game. In 1927, Miss French composed and pre-sented to the college the words we now use in the Indian ceremony. In recog-nition of her gift of time and talent, Bill presented Miss French with a memory book.

Ruth Wilcox Gives Travel Talk to YW
**********
"Travel by Boat" was the topic of a talk given by Miss Ruth Wilcox, instructor at Huron High School, at a regular YW meeting.
Miss Wilcox told of the necessary preparations for the trip, such as obtaining passports and tickets, securing a deck chair, and arranging meal schedules. She sailed on one of the smaller boats that accomo-dated approximately one thousand people. Persons of moderate cir-cumstance usually travel tourist class. This is far superior to steerage class and the service is better than that to which most people are accustomed, she said.
Stewards, stewardesses, the doorkeeper in the dining room, and other employees expect tips from the passengers at the end of the
voyage. Tipping usually amounts to fifteen or twenty dollars for each crossing.Miss Wilcox also listed the variety of menus, the amusements provided on deck, and gave a detailed description of the ship.
Helen Habicht, who was in charge of the meeting, thanked Miss Wilcox. She also expressed the appreciaton of the YW members for the furniture which was donated by Mrs. C. K. Walker.

Student Body Voices New Rubaiyat Plans
**********
Every Huron College Student will receive a Rubaiyat this year. The decision was made by the student body in an election Monday.
The election was the result of a chapel session during which Amos Hofer, editor, and Glenn Parker, business manager, proposed a general assessment of two dollars in order to reduce the individual cost, and to provide each student with an annual.
In former years subscription to the Rubaiyat was voluntary and because fewer books were pur-chased the price was two dollars and fifty cents per individual.
This year the Rubaiyat will follow an Indian theme carried out in the college colors.
At a general staff meeting held last Friday in the art room, nineteen members designated thier preference in the selection of an appropriate Rubaiyat cover.
After the meeting, the editorial staff served refreshments with M. Trautman and Verna Jonason in charge.

Huron To Play Two Remaining Conference Tilts
**********
Scalpers Will Defend Season's Record Against Pointers and Wolves
**********
Having chalked up five wins and a loss, the Scalper squad faces the two remining games of the season.
Tomorrow afternoon Huron will invade the Pointer field at Spring-field for a hard game. This will be the first game the team has played since its defeat at Yankton, and they will be playing on the Southern Teacher's territory. This season Southern defeated Spearfish 13-0, and played a close game with the Yankton Greyhounds.
Encouraging to the Scalpers are the five initial games in which hard driving, strong defense, and close cooperaton paved the way for their victories. The squad is in fine physical condition for the combat. Also in their favor is the optimistic
attitude of the players and the school in general in spite of the recent disappointment. All of these factors will play their part in the results of Friday's game.On November 11, Huron's 1938 football schedule will be complete when the Scalpers meet the Northern Normal Wolves on the local gridiron. The Armistice Day contest promises to be another game which will hold the attention of Huron's fans.
Although Wesleyan beat the Wolves badly with a score of 35-0, the Teachers held Augustana to a 13-13 tie. The holiday game promises the home team keen competition.
Despite the Yankton defeat, if Huron progresses through the season with seven wins they will complete a schedule of which they can be rightfully proud.
