Ause received his B.A. degree from St. Olaf College, and his M.A. degree from the University of Minnesota. While he was a student at St. Olaf, he sang in the world famous St. Olaf Choir for three years and toured the U. S. extensively. He taught music in several Minnesota and Wisconsin communities before going into school administration. His first superintendency was in Onalaska. Wisconsin. He then spent four years in the army, part of this time being spent as music director. Following his army career he became superintendent at Askov, Minnesota, and then at Harmony. Our principal, Mr. Virgil E. Shroyer, received both his B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Minnesota. This was his first year at Harmony. Besides being principal he teaches English 10, 11, 12. Before coming to Harmony High School he taught at Tyler and Hancock, Minnesota. He held his first position as principal at Hancock. Before beginning his career as a teacher he spent four years in the Marine Corps. Two of these years were spent in the Pacific. FORWARD We have just finished a journey; not an ordinary journey, but a long and marvelous trip through the fascinating land of school. Let's stop, seniors, and look back over the years that have just passed so rapidly. We hope this will not only be a book of memories for the seniors, but for their imrents as well. We have given them an opportunity to look at pictures which will bring back memories to them of when they were young and growing up; and the days when they were sweating through exams, going to parties, and enjoying life just as we are now. The Annual Staff has picked the theme “Flappersn for our 1953 CARDINAL. We sincerely hope you enjoy paging through this book and continue to enjoy it for the many years to come.

Ause, Eldon Hoi-ness, T. O. Harstad, Donald Morem, Henry Pederson. Standing; Howard Wickett, Milo Afseth. The governing body of our school is our school board, which is composed of six members. These members are elected for a term of three years by the people of Independent School District No. 40. Eldon Hoiness, manager of the Harmony Creamery, is the President. Donald Morem, employee of a men’s clothing store, is Secretary. Henry Pederson, a rock-crusher, is Treasurer. Milo Afseth, a salesman; Howard Wickett, a livestock dealer; and T. 0. Harstad, a farmer; are the other directors of the board. They have a real interest in our school, since four of the six have children now attending school here. The board is over the administration as a whole. It has the final authority on all matters per- taining to the school. It is the legal head of all departments. One of its most important powers is to set the levy on property taxes, which are used to support and maintain the school. It has the power to hire all school officials and teachers. A yearly budget is also prepared by the board. It is the sincere interest and endeavor of the school board to provide the best educational program possible for the students. During our hurried days of high school we seldom take the time to reflect upon the wonderful opportunities offered to 11s during these four years. We do appreciate what the school board and community has done for us in making these years cherished memories. DEDICATION It is to all our parents that we, members of the Gass of 1953, dedicate this annual. For the past thirteen years—from kindergarten when we played in the sandboxes, colored pictures, and napped on the floor, to the time we shed those child-like pastimes with the lofty dignity of sixth graders; from our first days in seventh grade when we finally learned the new routine and our way around the high school building, to our ninth grade days, characterized by our finally being freshmen and having gala Christmas parties, programs, vacations, studies, and examinations; and from our sophomore year sponsoring the Homecoming, through other parties, the prom, and ballgames, to this our senior year—our parents have also taught, guided, and advised us. To show our appreciation for all that they have done for us, we dedicate this 1953 CARDINAL TO THEM—our parents. 3 4 graduates ' And just what gave vou the idea that I was the mailman? 5 THOMAS ARMSTRONG A true flashbulb fan who can l resist snapping interesting subjects (!!!) . . . a diligent worker . . . quiet moving, quiet spoken (if you don't know him).

HOMECOMING Homecoming Candidates Here’s one of the scenes you might have seen at this year's Homecoming. Queen Alice McCabe and her two little pages, Peggy Lyndahl, and Gloria Kun-kat. Getting the school in the spirit of Homecoming started October 16th at our annual Snake Dance and bonfire. The crowning of Queen Alice and King Lowell was an exciting moment for everyone. The following day, October 17th, was our big game and dance. Starting the big evening off was a colorful parade of floats all based on the theme, “Torture the Trojans.” The sophomores’ float won first prize. After the parade was over, the game with Rushford began. Our school band marched at half lime, using several new march steps. They waltzed, two stepped and ended up with a majorette’s delirium. The big game then finished with the Cards winning their third victory for the season with a score of 210. A dance in our decorated gymnasium, sponsored by the sophomore class, followed. Vern’s Accordian Band played. Homecoming Royalty—First Row: R. Haugerud, A. McCabe • Queen, J. Michel. Second Row: J. McKernan, L. Engle • King, S.

The juniors returned to school in the fall vigorous, intellectual, and full of talent which they showed off almost immediately as they staged the three act farce, “Let’s Face It.” Their talent continued throughout the year. When they presented an assembly program, and at school parties, they were also in the spotlight. In the extra-curricular activities their class was well represented. In journalism Ann Armstrong became Assistant Fditor of the Cardeon. Sally Sandvik and Mary Ann Pederson were Co-Assistant Editors of the Cardinal. Jerry Easier was soloist of the Senior Chorus. Rosella McCabe and Verlaine Bestor represented the class as cheerleaders. Charles Thoen, Milton Bigalk, Dave Hanson, and Jim Elton were the sport stars of the class. The Prom was their big headache this year. They chose the theme, “April in Paris,” which was well worth all their headaches when it turned out so successful. They leave their junior year with many happy memories, eager to return as the “Big Wheel” seniors next year. LELAND A.

Pres., Rosella McCabe; Sec.-Treas., Monica Haugerud. Our school has been fortunate in having an active Student Council this year. The Student Council is organized for the purpose of providing students with a voice in school affairs. The members of this organization are elected by their classmates. The seniors and juniors elected three members each, sophomores and freshman elected two each, and seventh and eighth grades elected one member each. A president is elected from the senior representatives. The vice-president is a junior and the secretary-treasurer is a sophomore. Mr. Shroyer, principal, is advisor. At their meetings, which are held twice a month, the members bring before the others the problems and desires of their class-mates, whom they represent. The Student Council this year has set up conduct rules for the lunch room, selected lyceum programs, conducted a Community Chest Drive, sponsored Dental Health Day, set up Student Assembly Programs and planned a series of all-school parties. Our Student Council is a democratic way of bringing mutual understanding between the students and the administration. Student Council members choose the lyceum programs for the following year. Here is one of this year’s programs, the Ambassador Quartet. Sixth (jtade Left to right, top to bottom: B. Baird, J. A. Bergey, A. Capper, k. Christensen, J. Christianson, K. Culberton, M. Funke, I).

There Leag ue Games The basketball season got off to a good start this year with the Harmony Cardinals soundly trouncing Lanesboro. Due, however, to the fact that the boys from Harmony were rather short of height, the Cardinals lost a few of their following games. One can’t, however, always go by the score-board when judging a team. So it was in the case of Harmony. With only three senior lettermen, Larry Laugen, Dennis Ryan, and Dean Willford, and two junior lettermen, Charles Thoen and Milton Bigalk, the remainder of the A team had to be made up of sophomores and freshmen, who were especially oustanding. The boys usually shot with great skill, often bringing exclamations of admiration from the fans who watched. Although at times the Cards fought a losing battle with some of their opponents, they never admitted defeat; but always continued to give the spectators their money’s worth with lots of excitement and fast play.

LARRY MOSHER Viroqua, Wisconsin Stout Institute Industrial Arts Driver Training Assistant Coach Hobby Club Advisor A talented number of boys, eaper and rarinp to po, made up the B team this year.

Al-thouph some refinement in minor noints. and skill in shoot-inp, dribblinp, and the like is still necessary: it is the common consensus of opinion that an outstandinp basketball team is on the wav. Also, thouph the team is penerally lackinp in heipht. the deficit is more than made up by the enerpy and steadily increasinp skill of the B team members. Due to the larpe number of boys out for basketball, a third team, called the C team, was orpanized. This is composed of those who are rather short in stature and who are in the lower prades of hiph school and junior hiph. C Basketball Team—First Row: G. Turner, K. Gossman. H. Manning, G. Keck, D.

A thrilling season was in store this year for Card football fans when Harmony’s “fighting eleven”, otherwise known as the Cardinals, dug into the gridiron with lots of muscle, backed with know-how. The team was well equipped for a successful season this year with four seniors; Stan Biel, Lowell Engle, Joe McKernan. and Dennis Ryan as the four swashbuckling lettermen, and Larry Laugen, who made an excellent showing for his first year on the A team. The juniors were also well represented with Milton Bigalk. James Elton, Roger Strelow, and Jerry Steen. The remainder of the team was composed of sophomores and freshmen who showed lots of promise for future years. Top all this with a top-notch coach who knows his business, and you have the power-packed team of ’52. J.Glo. Football Team—First Row: R. Burmeister, G. Pederson, H. Hanson, J. Felland, W.

Copeman, C. Berge, E. Todd, K. Johnson, S. Sandvik. Hand Approximately 45 prospective musicians reported to the first band practice called by our new director, Mr. Hagen. This makes this year’s hand the largest Harmony has had for many years. During the football season a marching unit did most of the band work. This unit marched for several home games besides marching at Caledonia. The feature of the season was, of course, Homecoming. For this occasion several new routines were worked out which the spectators found quite enjoyable. Another appearance of the band was escorting Santa Claus into town last December. In January the band traveled to Winona and participated in the Winter Carnival parade. Several engagements are also being drawn up for the summer marching band including Rochester, Chatfield, and Lanesboro. In concert work the band has shown rapid progress. Early in the fall they provided entertainment for the American Legion, and they held a joint concert with the vocal department in March. Highlight of the year was the Music Contest and Festival held at Chatfield on April 25. The band’s selection for the contest was “Walls of Jericho”. Several small ensembles have been working throughout the year. The clarinet quartet composed of Mary Ann Pederson, Ann Armstrong, Betty Hanson and Kay Armstrong has appeared at several school and community functions. Another group, which was received favorably, is the German Band, otherwise known as the “Starving Six”. Their first appearance wgs made at the junior class play and another was made at the Civic and Commerce Club Banquet. Members of the group are Ann Armstrong, Betty Hanson, Sharon Haugerud, Shirley Klingsheim, and Shirlev Vrieze. Assisting them is Mr. Hagen. We learn through practice. We’re just going to have to have sectional rehearsals” 35 Junior Band—First Row: C. Harmon, C. Love, C. Boice, D. Hoiness, D. A. Bergy, K. Gossman, G. Turner, R. Peder- son, E. Jertson.

They are obtaining experience for later playing in the Senior Band by memorizing music and marching. The Junior Band has been fitted with the old Senior Band uniforms for performances. Marching has been the main topic of conversation of the Junior Band students. They often talk of being stiff; hut after a little more practice, they will get over this stiffness very quickly. In the spring concert, the Junior Band did very well. They gave the audience an idea of how a regular rehearsal is held. Scales were played and a few selections were performed in unison. After warming up they gave a wonderful concert of music in harmony. This hand shows much promise. Many are being promoted to the Senior Band now. We wish them much luck. The cheering section!

Senior Chorus The Senior Chorus has spent many long hours this year practicing and earning money for their new gowns. Th$y sang at the Christmas Concert, the Spring Concert and the Music Contest at Chatfield. The chorus this year was the largest that it has ever been, with about 70 members. The chorus met twice a week for an hour. The Choral Club officers this year are all seniors: they are Alice McCabe, president; Dean Willford, vice-president; Audrev Copeman, secretary and treasurer; and Janice Michel, publicity chairman. The Music Mothers Club, a group'of mothers of the band and chorus students, helped the chorus earn money for their new gowns by serving benefit suppers. A new member of the faculty was Mr. Myron Hagen, music director, who has done outstanding work this year. Harmony’s outstanding tenor, Jerry Easier. 37 SENIOR CHORUS OFFICERS: Pres., Alice McCabe; V.

The first-place winner in this year’s local play contest was a senior play entitled, “The Slave with Two Faces.” The other senior play, ‘The Glass Menagerie,” won second-place, and the sophomore play, “The Clod,” won third-place. The faculty acted as judges for the plays and Luther College students judged the rest of the declamation sections. Our winning declamation students. CARDINAL STAFF David Hoiness. Business Manager, and Miss Henkel. Advisor. The yearbook pot under way this year with fourteen members on the staff. Miss Henkel served as a very competent advisor. Early in the fall a private photographer took pictures of the classes individually. The seniors had theirs taken at Yorklane Studio, l.anesboro. Minn. Mr. Randall, with the new camera the school purchased after magazine sales, took all the other shots. Mr. Fisher visited the staff and pave some helpful information about the construction and organization of the yearbook. Getting the copy in and meeting the deadline were the most difficult tasks. The staff is happy to present this yearbook to you and they anticipate that it will be a cherished possession of yours.

A national organization, the F.T.A., aims to train students in high schools throughout the country in some branch of teaching. Our educational system cannot hope to achieve higher standards without this early interest in the teaching profession. The study carried on in the club reveals good and bad features of teaching, educational systems, and educational standards. Students are given opportunities to investigate future educational opportunities. Through a point system, members are able to earn recognition for participation in the club and its activities by a F.T.A. pin. Students earn these points when they instruct classes, and grade papers. Club officers are President, Mary Ann Pederson; Vice President, Shirley Vrieze; Secretary, Audrey Copeman; and Treasurer, Alice McCabe. The club advisor is Miss Henkel. V. F.H.A. F.H.A.—S. Bales, C.

Another national organization, the F.H.A. is a girls’ club pledged to instruct girls in modern and efficient homemaking for the years to come. 4-H Clubs and F.F.A. organizations join hands with these girls in helping to build a stronger and healthier nation as they strive to educate the youth of today. The girls have been active in many events this year. They furnished a skit for a pep fest, illustrating a sword fight with Harmony beating her opponent. Four members and their advisor. Miss Garst, attended an F.H.A. Convention in Minneapolis. But the club really showed (and caused) enthusiasm when they sponsored a “No-Gripe Week” with all the trimmings, such as clever advertising, a judge and a court, and the drastic penny fines. The club officers are: President, Monica Haugerud; Vice-President, Sylvia Meyers; Secretary, Mary Jane DeGreve; and Treasurer, Rosalie Bigalk. 14 Miss Garst is also the girls’ physical education director.

During their bi-monthly meetings the Nature Club has been studying plants, birds, animals, and all things pertaining to nature. Included in their study are: kinds of flowers and their parts (pistal, stamen, petal, etc.,) migration of birds and hibernation. A large share of their time has been devoted to field trips on which they get a first hand look at the work of Mother Nature. I: Camera Chili Camera Club—M. Bigalk, H. Boioe, O. Doering, J.

This isn’t a new organization, but we can certainly say it's a growing one! And it’s brain-stimulating, too. Here’s where they learn to do more than load the film, set the view finder, check the lens opening, and click the delicate apparatus without moving—here’s where they learn to unload the film, to develop, to print, and to enlarge. Lectures are given on a variety of subjects by Mr. Randall or members. This year they’ve even been privileged to study an honest-to-goodness press camera; and— oh, yes—that’s where our annual pictures came from. As usual, another picture contest was held this year, and outstanding photos were displayed on Achievement Night.

Its chief purpose is a service for the operation of all the audio-visual machines we have in school. It also gives students a chance to learn about the machines, their operation, and how they are used as an aid to education. The members of this club are mechanically-minded students who want to learn how to operate these machines. At the same time this program is benefiting our school.

In previous years, the declamation contests and class plays have constituted the students’ participation and opportunity in the training of dramatics. Now students wishing to enjoy acting without working hard at it are given a chance in the limelight. Under the supervison of Miss Reque, an English practice teacher from Luther College, one group was coached in stage make-up. A number of students helped makeup characters for the class plays. Concentrating on stage production, Mr. Hanke helped the students select a number of humorous plays which the members of the club worked on during and outside club meetings. Mrs. McKinney’s club has worked on dialogues, monologues, and pantomines. Wrestling Club Wrkstlinc Club—R. Baird, E. Bigalk, D. Brink, I). Brunsvold, R. Buri, H. Christenson, R. Engle, R. Elliott, W.

The wrestling club is composed of 22 boys from the seventh through tenth grades. The main purpose of this club is to develop an interest in the sport of wrestling. Time has been devoted to learning the basic wrestling holds and skills. The boys are matched against someone their own size. This work is very strenuous but the boys all enjoy it. Mr. Felton, the advisor, has taken wrestling courses in college; therefore he is well qualified for this job. He also did intramural wrestling in high school. Besides being the coach and a teacher of various subjects, Mr. Schumann also has charge of all boys physical education classes.

Safety training at an early age helps us to lead a safe life when we grow older. One of the earliest trainings for safety is the School Patrol. In this fast moving world where dangers lurk on every hand, the protection of school children is essential. The school patrol, under the direction of Mr. Mosher, has done a wonderful job in providing safe student crossings. Our patrol, together with all national patrols, was sponsored by the American Legion. Square Dancing Club Sql'ARk Dancinc—J. Armstrong, K. Armstrong, T. Armstrong, H. Berge, C. Biel. M. Biel, S.

Jumping jeans and swirling skirts rhythmically matching the calls of Mr. Schumann or the black disks—don’t we envy the fun and relaxation (?) this unique club brings to its members? Folk songs and dances are perfect examples of the Americanism that truly never dies, but is carried along through years of memories. Besides the fun and sentiment behind this lively recreation is the important training of graceful actions and physical co-ordination often overlooked. And what a pleasant way in which the students are acquiring this essential co-ordination! By the way, the girls are out-numbered this year!
