FOREWORD
I am sure that Tennyson in his poem, uThe Building of the
Shipf' expresses ideals which your parents and teachers have
had during the many years that you have been under their con-
stant supervision, when he writes?
Build me straight, O worthy Master
Stanch and strong, a goodly vessel
That shall laugh at all disaster
And with wave and whirlwind wrestle. '
For many, your voyage of life will soon begin, when you
alone must assume the captainoy, when complete responsibility
for your voyage will be entrusted to your own judgment.As con-
trol of the ship is handed over to you by your parents and
teachers, we hope that your ambitions are high, your knowledge
sufficient, your judgment sound and that you have profited by
those whose experience has been greater than yours. We hope
that as a courageous captain, skilled in knowledge,rich in ex-
perience, unafraid of the future, confident in yourself, that
you will bring your boat through the years of life safely into
port.Our hope is that in years to come when you look back over
your years, you will find happiness in your accomplishments,
eng in the fine friendships that you have formed.
I May this Argo with its record of the achievements of
the organizations and individuals, help to perpetuate the
pleasant memories of your high school days at Adams. May it
ever keep alive the cherished friendships you have formed a-
mong both students and teachers.

Class Motto: The Door of Success Is Labeled Push
In the fall of 1957, there entered into the assembly of
Adams High, forty-two bright eyed pupils all eager to become
acquainted. These new students included youths of both male
and female, tall and short, and fat and slim types.
After great threats from the upper classmen, we all a-
rrived the morning of initiation quite scared and prepared to
face the worst.Dur1ng the day, we had to obey all commands and,
in the evening, we had to entertain all our superiors by giving
a program in which each Freshman was compelled to take part.
Along the years, as we neared graduation, several of our
classmates commenced to give excuses for not continuing their
high school educatlon.One said, UI must discontinue, for I must
toil at home.n A second said, WI am not brilliant like many of
my classmates, but rather I am dull and can not get my les-
sons. Still another exclaimed, I am going to be married,
therefore I am quitting. And, so like this one dropped out now
and another then, until our class enrollment fell to thirty-one
As all are citizens, we had to enroll when Uncle Sam took
the last census, and we found the composition of our class in
regard to nationality very interesting, so here it is: one
Frenchman, three Danes, twelve Norwegians, three Irish, and
eiqh+ Gesmans. Of course, many of the students are, more or
lass, a mixture, and they submitted their answer according to
the predominatory nationality.
Our Sophomore year was quite uneventful, but the title of
Sophomore was indeed, a promotion. I
The title of Junior was gladly accepted, and the year spent
under this name was quite different to ue. First of all we pre-
sented. our Junior class play, 'Young Barry, to make money, and
then we gave a banquet at the Fox Hotel to spend the money. The
banquet was a joyous event for us, as well as for our guestsu-
the Sen1ors.After a full year of hard work,we welcomed vacation.
This vacation soon came to a close, and we were again given
a new title. This time it was the dignified title,Seniors,which
name we held in high esteem. Never before did we realize haw
much had to be accomplished before we received our diplomas. We
had given a class play, and so the new experience this last year
was publishing Egg Aggg.
Even though these things have become history, they will al-
ways be pleasant memories to that ambitious, adventurous, like-
able class of '4l.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY
n 1958, 55 students began their Freshman year in the
Adams High School. On initiation day, the girls were
dressed like boys, and the boys were dressed like
girls. OTDSF strict rules, ordered by the seniors,
were carried out. ,
Of the original pioneers 50 remained to enter the
sophomore you , and by the time we reached our junior year,
we had lost several more members.
The officers chosen by the 25 members of the Junior
class were: President, Henry Devneyg Vioc President, June
Otto, Secretary, Lillian Smithg and Treasurer, Andrew Smith.
With Miss Christiansen as the class advisor, the Juniors came
through with flying colors all through the year. ' t
uToo Many Husbandsu was chosen the class play which the
Juniors put on in December. In February, at the one-act in
the contest, the play uGrandpa Goes Huntingu was enacted. The
first place went to the Freshmen, and the other three pl yr
tied for second place.
The climax to the Junior life of social activities came
at the banquet for the Seniors, in May. The Qiored Heartschurch
parlors were tranvformed into a naval scene, with captain,
Drew, andlpaasengers iroviding the entertainment.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY
, g::?x espite the snow storm that raged, the Junior class
! x
x entertained a good-sized audience at the Adams au-
Yu
ul ditorium when they presented the play, nToo Many
' a
LL, Husbands, on December 12th.
The story wove around Mattie, an exceptional cook por-
trayed by Natalie Erokenbrack,in her search for a man to pose
as her husband for one evening.It was at this time her employe
er,Mrs.Goodrich,had requested that she and her husband be Mrs.
Goodrich's guests. Mattie had told her that she had an in-
valid husband whose frequent operations were the cause of her
requests for increases in wages. Although, afraid of men,
Mattie does not dare tell Mrs. Goodrich that she l1ed,th1nk-
ing she would lose her job. Matt1e's friends each agree Q50
help her, but no one knows that the others are helping too .
On the evening of the party, five Uhusbandsu appeared. Mrs .
Goodrich is at first angered at Mattie's actions, but later
decides she will forgive her, if Mattie will promise to stay
in the services of Mrs. Goodrich until she gets a husband.
The part of Mrs. Goodrich was well played by Kathleen
Karsburg with Lillian Smith as her daughter, Evelyn. The parts
of Tina and Jan, played by June Otto and John Schneider , adds
ed a comical note to the play. The Colored janitor , Raphael
King, also added a humorous touch. Henry Devney showed
diversity in character when he first acted the part of the
English butler, and later the invalid husband of Mattie.
Lloyd Loftus, in the role of Mrs. Goodrich's son, and his girl
friend, Genevieve Bartholme carried heavy parts , placating
the various members of the family when Mattie's plot is
discovered. Other members who hblpod Mattie into, and out of
her trouble were, Mr. Stone, played by Paul Erie, and Mr . and
Mrs. Herbert Wells, played by Jerry Krbbtfiicil and Delores
Ewald. l
The cast presented Miss Buelah Batalden, their coach,
with a gift in appreciation of her -efforts to make the play

SOPHOMORE ONE ACT PLAY
he one act play, New Girl in Town was presented
by the sophomores. Rod and Wally Campbell, who
were played by Archie Hanson and Willard Anderson
two typical boys, became rivals to escort the at-
Q tractive new girl in town,Mar1lyn Price, played by
Lorraine Levasseur, to the band concert. The tricks they play
on each other, and the arguments they have in wearing each
others clothes, eventually end up in a fight, which is stopped
by the entrance of their mother Mrs. Campbell, Dorothy Winkel,
who calls her daughter Joyce, Rod and Wally's sister, to her
aid. Marilyn deserts them both for a sissy from her home
town, which was played very well by Vernon Gosha.
The play was coached by Miss Homan.
FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY
f slightly bashful, pupils and others were just the oppo-
fffegx n the first day of school some of us were wide eyed,
fl
QNX site. Most of us started just where we had left off last
year. Others had to start all over in entirely new sur-
roundings.
We had a few hints on our initiation day, but we had never
taken them to heart. At last the day came when Mr. Glesne stood
an in front of the assembly and commanded the boys to be dressed
Qi tramps and the girls to be dressed in old fashioned clothes.
The tramp who looked the most hoboish, and, the girl who
looked the most old fashioned, was to receive a free ticket to
all the football games as an award.
On the next day, we were all there ready to accept the prize
The judging did not come, however,until after all the upperclasse
men had teased us. It was our super1or's who cast the votes,and
the contest ended with Ralph Otto and David Schneider as the most
'-37105 Cal JCTHTYIPS, and Jean Ross and Cordelia Whitney as outstand-
ing in old fashioned clothes.
We all attended the football game in the afternoon, and many
of us were sweating like a butcher because of our bundle- -some
clothing.
After the game we all walked down the town squareg where we
gave some yells and cheers for the Adams High School team.
when we left the school grounds, N. V. Torgerson took pictures
of all of us, looking our best and Wefring our most winning
Smiles. when we returned to the place from which we started ,
we found that the buses were all ready to leevcg and each one
climbed into his own bus, very tired after e day's enjoymentu
We all had to return, however, that eveningg but this time Wo
were treated by the rest of the high school.
The next thing that we were e little green at, was the
Christmas party. We soon found out that we were to bring a
ten cent gift, Most of these presents, of course, included
things all the way from sets of dishes to baby bottles and
nipples.
The highest spot in our Freshmen year was our ones -- act
play, given at n contest, in which all four classes part-
ifipnteds Yes, we really felt pretty smart when our play was
voted the best one y and we proudly rccepted first place.
This play, UBy Special Requestu was choosen by the class
efflrers. These officers were: Lorraine Meyers, Secretary.
Farid Schnider, Prssidentg John Nagel, Vice-President, Denali
larson, Treasurer. We had two other officers who bore to
title of song leaders: Jean Ross and John Sjobskken.
We are looking forward to the promotion of Sophomores.

FOOTBALL
he Adams team started their football campaign
against the Austin B team. The scrappy little
Adams team put up a great battle,but they came out on the short
end of the score, 6-O.
The next game was with Elkton High School. This was a six
man game. After losing the first game,the Adams team was seek--
jng revenge. They successfully downed the scrappy Elkton team,
21-0.
A week later they went to St. Ansgar, Iowa and played
fnsther six man game under the flood lights. This was the first
sfnfrienee under lights for most of the boys.In this game Corky
eeyum also had the misfortune of breaking his Jaw. Adams won the
game, 12-O.
Adams lost a hard game to Blooming Prairie. Their players
were much larger than those from Adams, so we came home holding
up the short end of a l5-Omscore.
Spring Valley downed Adams by a margin of 15-O. Although
we had all the pep and enthusiasm needed, we lacked the dbility
to push it over.
Grand Meadoy-earned a hard fought game over Adams by a 7-O
margin. In this game, Dick Johnson hurt his eye and had to
be laken out of the game.
On November ll Adams played host to the undefeated LeRoy
team. The game was played in the raging snowstorm.LeRoy won 18-On

PEP CLUB
group of about twenty high school girls gathered
on January 8 to organize a Pep Club. This club has
the following aims: the stimulation of more
school spirit before and at the basketball games,
leading the cheering, and increasing' the student attendance
at the games.
The officers elected were: president, Marion Smith 3
vice-president, Genevieve Barthelmeg secretary-treasurer, June
Otto. '
Among the activities which the Pep Club sponsored since
its organization are: a semester all-high school party on
January 22, ticket sales for the Athletic Club One-Act plays
and Athletic Banquet, candy sales at basketball games, tourna-
ment games and at school, bus ride to a LeRoy basketball game,
assembly programs before basketball games, and better cheering
at all games.
With Dorothy Torgerson, Genevieve Barthelme, and Le Donna
Johnson as cheerleaders, the club practiced ' cheering and
learned the new yells at the meetings. With new methods for
increasing the sum in the treasury, there may be sufficient
funds to purchase Pep Club uniforms some time next year.
Since Basketball is one of our most serious competitive
enterprises, that is the place where most of our Pep Club en-
thusiasm was evidenced.
The members enjoyed these activities and, consequently,
the Pep Club, the most recent organization of the Adams High
School, is considered a success.
We hope this club will continue to grow until the good
sportsmanship of the Adamites will be noticeable at all times.
Miss Batalden acted as advisor for the Pep Club and ac-
companied the bus load to LeRoy to witness that game.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB
he Home Economics Club, under the direction of Miss
Christiansen, held their first meeting October 3,
1940. When they assembled there were 37 members,
They chose as their President, Marvel Madsen, Vice
President: Elizabeth G-ilgenbaohg Treasurer, Dorothy Heimerg and
Secretary, June Otto.
At the meetings we discussed personal problems, etiquette,
and dancing. These discussions proved to be very worthwhile
because they helped everyone who presented the problem.
At Christmas the club enjoyed a Christmas party in the
Home Economics room. At a previous meeting each girl had drawn
a name of a member of the club and this was the one she was to
give her gift to. At the Christmas party each girl then gave
her gift to the person whose name she held. Many humorous gifts
were received which added to the good time had by everyone.Games
were played also, some of which were Chinese Writing and The Man
In The Moon. Prizes were given to the winners of these games.
At the close of the party the refreshment committee sure
prised us with giving every member a drumstick. As each member
passed out of the door she was rewarded with a bag of candy and
nuts. Everyone had a very enjoyable time.
This spring, as usual, the Home Economics Club plans to
close the annual meeting with a Weiner roast. The previous pic-
nics proved to be very enjoyable and we all look forward to it.

has rented a piece of land south of the schoolhouse. It is rent-
ed on a share crop basis. The F. F. A. gets two thirds of its
crop, which they intend to sell to cover the cost of operation
The owner receives one third of the crop for rent.
The F. F. A. boys have
agreed to plant and weed the
potato patch during the sum-
mer months. Different methods
'Lx gifs ii H. of planting and spraying for
fl fi
A fi bugs will be used. The boys

FIELD DA!
he first annual field day was held at the Adams
.f Q
N16 High S chool on May 17. All students from the

school into two sides, the purple versus the gold. These are
our school colors.T he two sides competed against each other
throughout the day and points were g1ven,toognd at the end of
each hour, points were given to Superintendent Sorknes, and
they were recorded on a black board outside thebuilding where
everyone could see which side was ahead.It a was a sad ending
for the purple as the gold won the day with a score of 594
points to 295 for the purple, Nevertheless the purple still
held very good sportsmanship.

ball, relays, basketball throw, kittenball throw, broad Jump,
rope Jumping, races, and tug-o-war, For the junior and senior
high boys there were such events as shot putt, broad Jump,

punting and passing, kittenball and tug-O-war. For the girls
less strenuous events were scheduled, such as baseball throw,
kittenball and basketball throw, 50 yard dash,relays and broad

success.

Grades l and 2
n September 5, 1940 ten first grade children were
getting acquainted with each other, and with the
eleven second grade children in their room at the
Adams Consolidated Schools. What fun it was for
the first grades to be going to school! And what fun it was for
the second graders to show the new ones how to play the toys we
have, the sand table, and the library books.
Before the first day was over, the first graders had learns
ed their own names, and several names of their olassmates.Before
the week was up they had began reading in the new Elson Pre-
Primer, UWe Look and Seen. Reading was such fun, and it still
is. We have read so many books in the first grade,

Daring the year we added two more orange boxes for shelves
in our library. We now have many new books on our shelves 3h6?Cf
During the year we said Wgood-byeu to two first graders and
welcomed three new playmates. l
3-4 Grades
n the fall of 1940 thirty well scrubbed smiling .faces
presentee themselves at the thiri end fourth grade room.
Several weeks were spent recapturing and renewing knowl-
edges acquired the previous year, Not all the work was review.
After an intensive study of the American Indians, the third
grade made a mural showing the phases of Indian life they had
studied.
While the third grade was busy visiting people. of other
countries, the fourth grade dilligently bent their efforts to-
ward disproving the old ginglenmultiplication is vexation, di-
vision is as bad.U
The fourth grade spent several weeks on their study of
early life in Minnesota.
In March the parents of these children attended a
HMother's Tean at which the boys and girls acted as hosts.
Having completed a tour of several countries of Europe
and Asia, the weary fourth grade globe trotters returned home
to the United States to tour this country.
The combining of Play Day and the Annual picnic made it a
thing more eagerly anticipated than ever before.
The school year came to its close with much exchanging of
invitations to Hcome to my house and play,u
The children all scatter to their homes to live happy,
safe, lives and to again be filled with energy to return to
school the next year.
Grades 5 and 6
hen.school began in.September, we had fifteen
sixth graders and eighteen fifth graders en-
rolled. During the year, Marilyn Otto Vivian
Dean, and Pat Devney left for new homes. Marcella Jensen and
Avis Anderson have entered during the year. We now have nn
enrollment of thirty-two pupils.
After the study of Norway in the sixth grade the pupils
wrote a play and presented a program about life in Norway
for their Mothers. They also had a large collection of ar-
ticles on display of things made in Norway.
At Christmas time, our pupils, with those of the other
Elementary grades, presented a pageant for the P.T.A.
At one of the spring P.T.A. meetings, our group demon-
strated games such as they play for physical education
class.
In our room we have four members of the band. They are
Joyce Anderson, Bernard Hukee, Roger Beck, and Robert Freid.
Those who take music lessons but have not attained the hclnr
of joining the band as yet,are: Norman Olson, Raymond Bison,
Joyce Boyum, Harold Wiste, and Ruth Walker.
We have three pupils who have been neither absent nor
tardy all year. They are Elaine Snortum, Joyce Boflm. and
Mary Jane Finbraaten.
Grades 7 and B
he seventh and eighth grades began the 1940-1941
vschool year in the same roomwfth' ariequal number
of students, 17, in each grade and Miss Batalden as
their teacher.
To start the year the seventh grade had a picnic supper in
Huseby's woods with Kathleen Lewison and Ramona Anderson as
managers. After the food had disappeared and the bonfire had
been put out, the group played games until dark, when they all
found their way home.
The boys, with Mr. Hatle as instructor, had Industrial Ed-
ucation three hours every week. They had a nice collection of
magazine racks, blanket boxes, work table boards, stools and
games to show for their work.
Miss Christiansen taught the girls Home Economics three
hours each week. After sewing aprons and caps, the girls vest
them while serving breakfasts and lunches to their classmates
In the spring our 7th grade boy's kittenball team came at
winners in both games played with the Sacred Heart seventh
gzaie team.
At the close of the year there are 15 8th graders and 1?
7th graders enrolled.
Donald Tlegen and James Berg have been neither absent nor
