T MISCELLANEOUS e-:-:lnm:-:W- Richard Nims, Earlene Bentley, Virginia Ann Porr and Mildred Nemechek represented us in the Little Ten Declamatory Contest at Verdon last December. One of the pleasant social events of the year was a joint meeting of the Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y Boys. An informal banquet was the outstanding point. The high school operetta given under the direction of Miss Arnup was one of the outstanding successes of the year. Because of the roads the audience was not as large as was desired, the receipts being 531.00 The teachers of the Humboldt schools contributed 'twenty-five dollars to the relief of Northeast Nebraska sufferers. In order to give the band members more practice, concerts have been given every six weeks or so. One of the outstanding events of the year was the Victory Concert given after the M-I-N-K contest at Peru where our band won first place in Class B. A cafeteria supper preceded the program which was well attended. Hon. Kenneth S. Wherry of Pawnee City and I-Ion. E. T. Peck of Falls City, senator and representative respectively, addressed our students during the past year. Seventy-seven non-resident students attended the Humbolt High school this year. In a table showing the chronological ages and grades of the pupils of the Humboldt schools, we find 176 aicceleralted and 23 retarded, which seems a fine record. Humboldt has sixteen of its former students in the university this year. In addition a large number are at Peru and other places of higher leaming. One of the big events of the year was the celebration of Washington's birth- day. Each of the grades and the various organizations of the school united in furnish- ing the program. The second largest crowd ever gathered in the new auditorium witnessed this program. During the year the following students have dropped out of high school: Kenneth Pettit, Charles Dahlke, Hazel and Dorothy Nettelbeck, Mildred Proctor, Calvin and Robert Hunzeker and Glendon Luthy. We gained one new student, Vivian Smith. In the M-I-N-K contest at Peru, we won first place in the band concertg Edwin Bentley, second place in the tenor solo group: Marguerite Hynek and Jane Kehoe first in the piccolo and flute contestsg Ernest Fruhlbauer, third in the baritone divisiong Loren Biggs second in French Horn. The Boys' Glee Club won third place and the mixed chorus second place. The high school debaters with their coach, Mrs. Lois Sterner, attended an invitation debate at Hastings. They report that they had a good trip with no tire trouble. We didn't hear much about the debating. A play was prepared for the M-I-N-K contest at Peru but when we found it would cost us ten dollars royalty to present the play we gave it up. These producers haven't heard that the war is over. We were also prepared to attend the commercial contest at Nebraska City but when we discovered it would cost us from ten to fifteen dollars to enter we gave it up. It just wasnlt worth the price. State Safety and Constitutional Weeks were observed during September. The prescribed program was carried out and several hundred essays were written. 1Continued on Page Forty-Sevenl PAGE FORTY-FIVE

We have carried a heavy extra-curricular program this year which has been divided as follows: Boys' Athletics, Mr. Huff, Girls' Athletics, Miss Howeg Debating Mrs. Sternerg Girls' Reserve, Mrs. Sterner and Miss Harrisg Orchestra, Lloyd Reid: Band, August Hagenowg Vocal Music, Miss Arnupg Drarnatics, Miss Campbellg High school, night program, Miss Waltg Red and White, Mr. Weber. Leah Ruth Cornelius edited the school column in the Humboldt Standard du- ring the past year. Miss Walt has had charge of the library this year. Miss Harris was in charge of the various high school fimds, acting as banker. In order to register as a member of one of the high school classes a. student must meet the following requirements: To be a freshman, he must be a graduate of the eighth gradeg to be a sophomore, seven creditsg junior, fifteen, and senior twenty- three. Thirty-two credits are required for graduation. In order to aid in the economy move, nearly all of the classes limited them- selves to one party or less eaish semester. We didn't do so well in the Little Ten this year as we have in years gone by. We lost out entirely in the declamatory contest but plans are under way to re- deem ourselves next year. In the music contest we won first place with Dawson a close second. In this contest we won more points than we did a year ago. We finished fourth in the basketball tournament and then went out and won the championship of the Southeast Nebraska Conference. It is too early to report the results of the track, baseball and scholastic meets but we are expecting to make a very good showing. We regret to report that the Hi-Y didn't function very well this year but we have hopes for better results next year. Fire Prevention Week was appropriately observed in October and as usual a bushel or two of interesting essays were written and graded f?J by our industrious English teachers. George Pipal and Leah Ruth Cornelius were selected as Richardson County's best citizens in a contest held at Verdon last fall under the auspices of the American Legion. Later both of these fine young people were selected to represent a larger dis- trict in a state contest at Omaha. In the final contest, George was selected as one of the ten best young citizens of the state. In compliance with a request from the pastors of the Humboldt churches, the school sponsored no programs on Wednesday niglrts so that the churches might have one evening during the week for their activities. The Girl Reserves and their sponsors attended a Roundup at Wymore last November. Later the girls held a Mother and Daughter banquet which was pronounced a great success. The High School Frolic under the guidance of Miss Walt netted about fifty dollars for the high school annual. PAGE FORTY-SEVEN
