Miss Potoff, our first grade teacher, initiated us so that we could en- dure the hardships of the forthcoming years. Our superintendent was Mr. Lok- ensgaard. Of the 48 seniors now graduat- ing, thirteen were together in the first grade. These Were: Raymond, Myrtle, Russell, Florence, Idelle, Virgil, Phyllis, Curtis, Irene, Deloris, Jerome, Elwood, and Florence T. Our second grade teacher was Miss Anderson. Now that we had really started our career as promising young students we felt quite superior to the lower grade. In the third grade, Miss Goebel taught us how to write with pen and ink and many of us would often go home looking much blacker than when we had come. Our fourth grade teacher was Miss Hansen. We now felt that we were getting well along in our school careers. Our fifth and sixth grade teachers were Miss Barnes and Miss Stemm. In the seventh grade we had the pri- vilege of initiating Miss Selander to the Dawson School. We had now reached the height of our ambition, and that was to climb the stairs to attend classes. Miss Bacon piloted us through the eighth grade and state exams and pre- pared us for our first commencement. At the be-ginning of our freshman year the new building was put into use. Many new- students were added to our class this year. Of course there Was the usual procedure of intiation by the Sopho- mores. The next year we were quite proud of the fact that we were in senior high. This year several sophomores participated in football and basketball. These were Ray- mond, Everett, Russell, Curtis, Layton, Lyle and Elwood. Our Junior year proved to be grand and glorious and was filled with excite- ment. The class play My Wife's Family , under the direction of Miss Deters was acclaimed a great success. The champion- ship football team consisted of many ju- niors. We ended the year with the grand finale of the Wor1d's Fair Banquet. Our high school career was brought to a climax during our senior year. During the year most of the seniors bought rings and some of them got sweaters, which were ga' een and white. At the time of this writing, no definite information is as yet available about the class play, banquet, or commencement week. HIGHEST RANKING SENIORS VALEDICTORIAN wi , 3, . ,.

The whole year was full of thrills and excite- ment under the capable supervision of Miss Sahl. The class began its twelve years of education with thirty-two mem- bers. The following are still in school: Dorothy, Harlan, Russell, Tommy, Curtis, Frances, Merle, Yvonne, Phyllis, Billy, Helen, Joyce, Teddy, Virginia Sumner, Virginia Swenson, Dewey, Randolph, Sheldon, Rueben and Calvin. In the second grade we learned to sing America and to give the pledge of allegiance to the flag. Our teacher was Miss Anderson. This year Virgie came to our class from California, and Ginny left us to join the class ahead. Our third year of school was spent learning of Eskimos and Indians. Miss Goebel also helped us to dramatize sections of our readers. Patty joined our ranks, coming from Minneapolis. Miss Hanson guided us safely through our elementary reading, writing, and 'rithmeticf' The outstanding feature of our fifth and sixth years under Miss Barnes and Miss Stemm respectively, was our art work. We drew maps of Europe, Asia, and Africa. In the seventh grade, we made our first journalistic venture in the form of a small newspaper. We also had the thrill of planning and having our first class party. Miss Selander was our teacher. Miss Bacon, our eighth grade instruc- tor, piloted us through the throes of the seemingly unconquerable Civil War and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address - which most of us can still recite! As green, wide-eyed frosh, we took up the terrible struggle wi'th algebra and Junior Business. Our number was great- ly increased by the incoming country stu- dents, whom we soon came to know and regard as friends. We began our adventures in geometry and Biology as Sophomores with Miss El- letson as our guide. This year Merle, Ribs, Regan, Curtis, Harlan an-d Cal made places for themselves on the basketball team. Virgie received top honors in 'de- clam. Another party was on the Spring calendar and our class thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Minneapolis, too. As Juniors, our thoughts are divided between stenography and chemistry. Ho- bo Day and Homeco-ming were enjoyed by all. Where's My Money, the class play, occupied our time during the fall- that, and football games. Then the basket- ball season arrived and our players again enjoyed their work. Music Contest, J unior- Senior Reception and Commencement fol- lowed-and we say goodbye and wish all luck to the outgoing Seniors. --2, ' SOPHOMORES Bm-Ia How rl, Lo lib-Ve-rn Sl:un.fel:1ml.

The interclass compe- tition, however, is very keen as was shown in the class basketball tournaments. The Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors each won two games in the Round Robin, but the Juniors were declared the winners by virtue of the best offensive and defensive play in all their games. Phyllis Hullstrom was again awarded the free-throfw contest, making 7 out of 10 free shots. The tumbling team is also sponsored by this club. It performed during the ha-lves of the home games. For being on the team each member received 100 points. Points are earned in the following sports, stretching over a period of four years: hiking, skating., skiing, toboggan- ing, basketball, kittenball, tennis, golf, ping pong, hunting, and field ball.

FOOTBALL Dawson's 1939 football squad played their first game at Appleton. It started with good gains and Dawson held the su- premacy throughout most of the game. Scoring in the first quanter with power thrusts through the line and around the ends, the Dawson gridders gave evidence of again being contenders for the League Championship. The score was 12 to 6 in favor of Dawson. The following Friday Dawson journey- ed to Madison. The first half made us wonder if the team had let down, but they scored in the second half and the final score was 14 to 0 in our favor. A week later, Ortonville's powerful team was too much for our crippled locals. Daiw- son suffered its most severe defeat of the season, the score being 35 to 0 in favor of Qrtonville. Playing a somewhat indifferent brand of football, with the exception of the se- cond quarrter, we had little trouble in de- feating Canby in the first home game of the season. The score was 19 to 0 in our favor. The following Friday we had our Home- coming game with Clarkfield. We made no first downs and were defeated 36 to 0. The following week we played Granite Falls. Apparently on the come-back trail, our boys played their best game in several weeks to defeat the Granite Falls team. The game was largely defensive in na-ture, with our boys holding tight when the goal line w'as near their backs. The final score was 6 to 0 in favor of Dawson. The final game of the season was played at Clarlk, South Dakota. The boys made two touchdowns, but the fast and powerful Clark Eleven proved too much for us- and we were defeated 32 to 14. On the whole, we are optimistic for the future. We have some mighty good materi- al and feel confident that our boys will come through with flying colors next year. Hack Row il, to RJ Guy Harland.

In their first encounter at the tour- ament, Dawson defeated Ortonville in a hrilling 30-29 victory. Milan was our ext victim, and was overthrown to the une of 25-23 in the second over-time eriod. This tough contest had its results, owever, and our tired team entered the hampionship game against Montevideo, laying very well in the beginning, but ere finally defeated by a score of 27-10. ur boys played excellent basketball and he chances for next year, with only five ut of the squad of 25 being graduated, ook mighty good.

You know, in biology I-learned that all men are animals, but when I asked different people what I am, here is what they told me: In the Glee Club, I'm a bull frog: In the fight ring I'm a chicken: At meals, I'm a pig: After gh-Vs, I'm a hound: When they gauge my ability to work, I'm a horse: VVhen the class is bawled out, I'm a lamb: In social life, I'm an owl: To my worst enemies. I'm a pole-kitty: When the gum is passed, I'm a cow: When I get my grades, I'm the goat: QI haven't my grades yet, Mom, but I think I can get thru High School on my good looks.p Troubled Freshman THE BLUE GNU Once upon a. time there was a gnu named Hugh. And Hugh wasta blue gnu. And he was married to a gnu named Sue. And every time Sue would call Hugh. she would coo- Yoo hoo, Hugh, yoo hoo. And Hugh would answer, Yoo hoo, Sue, you cute gnu you, yoo hoo. Sue. yoo hoo. And they called each other often, did these two gnus-for they were happily married. Every day Hugh would dash off to his daily work of getting his name into crossword puzzles under the title a three-lettered animal, and when his day's work was done. he would dash home to Sue. and Sue and Hugh would spend their evenings doing' whatever blue gnus do. There was only one thing that kept their mar- riage from being perfect. They both longed for the patter of tiny feet-the happy laughter of a little one. But year after year went by and still the only thing they had running around their house was a fence. They even considered adopting a little baby gnu. but neither of them knew a gnu who wanted to be adopted: do you? Gradually they began to quarrel-just a little bit, did Hugh and Sue. Hugh would say, Foo to you, Sue, you blue gnu you-foo to you, Sue. And she would coo, And poo to you, Hugh. you blue gnu you. In fict, poo pa doo. This sad state of affairs. I'm sorry to say. went on for some time, and still there was no patter of tiny feet about the home-no little ones to brighten their later years. ' But one day-ah, beautiful day-Hugh came sadly home from work. He was in a nasty humor and was just spoiling for a fight. He opened the door and stalked in. all ready to begin the quarrel. But wait-there was something different about Sue today. The frown was gone from her face. There was a happy. bashful look in her eye. as she stood there in the doorway. Why, Sue, said Hugh-'WVhy, Sue. Is there something on your mind? And Sue smiled a lovely smile and said, Yes, Hugh, I have gnus for you. - CSki-U-Mahi POET'S CORNER He sipped the nectar from her lips As under the oaks they sat And wondered if ever 21 guy before Had drunk from a mug like that.
