'IOHNSON HI zz: : , To Miss O'Conm'll, our lId'I'I'S07' and friend, .vw Qlfffrtiorzcztfly dfdicatu fhix mzmml, -s. e 5 l mao My dear students: Many years ago on a bright May morning some little children went out in the fields to enjoy a day in the open. As they went out of do-ors that heautiful morning, they saw away to the west a house with golden windows. Certain that their happiness would be complete if they could only be near those golden windows, they set out to reach them. All day they struggled along through meadows and swamps, over streams and rocky ways until at last when evening had come, they found themselves in the yard of the house with the golden windows. They looked up expecting to hehold a beautiful sight. Imagine their disappointment to find that the golden light had disappeared and the windows were just ordinary glass ones. Tired and hungry they now directed a longing glance toward their own home and how great was their surprise to tind that their own little home had the golden wtindows. Like in a n y Others, these little children had made the great mistake of thinking that the souree of their happi- ness must he far away- anywhere hut near at hand. The facts are, the elements of happi- ness are always near at hand and may be grasp- ed hy everyone if he will only reach out and make them his. Daily work, refreshing sleep, sunshine and friends.,- these are things that are within the reach of all and without which life would he meaningless and sordid indeed. My hope is that you will all come to an early realization of the fact that enduring happiness must come from within and not from without- through an investment in character and intel- lect rather than through wealth or any othe r source.

H, .4 f i J ' ll i l MLMN y A Tribute to Johnson As the time for the graduation of the class of 1920 approaches, we feel that we must pay a tribute lo the school which we have learned to love and respect. Never before. have we been called upon to leave a place that has won so high a position in our hearts, our memory, and our admiration, Dur- ing the four years we have spent at johnson High School we have been subjected to intiuences that will have a lasting effect upon all of our future lives. XYe have received benefits that we could not have received anywhere else. Th school has stood before us as a beacon light pointing out the way to the better and greater things in life. XX'e have had our viewpoints broadenedg we are better fitted to take np different kinds of work 5 more important still, we are better prepared to take up the duties of citizenship, As far as l personally am concerned, the three most pleasant and beneficial years of my life have been spent in this school. l sought and found what was refused me in the land of my birth. For this reason America and her institutions have won mv lasting affection and ad- miration. Xihat a 'golden opportunity l would have lost had l refrained from crossing the Atlantic! Vihcn l came to America, I was made welic-ome every- where, but nowhere quite so cordially as at lohnson. This school welcomed me with the warmth of a lifelong' friend, ' My stay here has been very much worth while. My hunger for knowledge has been appeased, and my wits have been sharpened. For three years I have enjoyed a most wholesome infiuence. Of such great benefit did my work here seem to me, that, although l lost two years while in military service, T could not refrain from resuming my studies upon my return to civilian life. VVhat 'lohnson has done for me, it has ll done for my other classmates, and will continue to do for those who come after us. We want everyone to realize this. We earnestly hope that every parent in our community will recognize the good derived fI U1l1 a high school education, so that he will, if neicessary, make strenuous efforts to send his chil- dren to johnson. We feel that had we, when the time came for us to go on with our higher education, ventured into the world to earn money, instead of coming here, our loss would have been almost irreparable. For after all, a high school training is one of the most prized of human pos- sessions, not only because of the oppor- tunity atforded to study various sub- jects, but also because of the wholesome atmosphere with which the students are surrounded. Outside of school we would perhaps have had to work among more or less evil surroundings at an age n hen enviromnent counts for a great deal. The escape from the serious con- sequences of such a fate is not the least of the advantages for which we owe a lasting appreciation to this school. As the years pass by, we shall strive to prove that our appreciation is sincere. XYQ shall make it our dutv to do our work out in the world in such a manner that honor will be reflected upon the school that taught us to work right and live right. lf we have not learned to do that, we ourselves, and not Johnson High School, are to blame. Every opportunity has been given us to fit ourselves for our future careers. Carefully lchosen courses of instruction were prepared, and every- thing' was done to make each course profitable. No little credit is due to the faculty, to whose unceasing efforts to guide, to instruct, and to help ns when- ever help was needed, we owe so much. lt is to their wisdom and s-kill, to their intelligence and culture, and to their g commanding personalities and intluencel' that we owe that which we value most in our course at johnson. VVe shall be sorry to say goodbye to them. VVe dread to see the end draw near. XVhen Commencement Dax' ar- Carry Did you ever pick up a copy of the Junior Red Cross News which comes to our high stchool each month? lf you did, you doubtless read about the vari- ous helpful activities which are still carried on by countless schools, big and little, throughout our country. For instance, in a recent issue there was an article on gardening. it was an appeal to the Red Cross juniors to keep up their war gardens this year. The whole world is hungry, Mr. Hoover says. Do you ever stop to think of the tens Of thousands of boys and girlbl of your own age who go supperless to bed? just because you have enough to eat, are you going to sit back and say, I should worry ? As Red Cross juniors we ought to be anxious to help increase the produc- tion of food. We can, by taking bet- ter care of that garden that was started at home this spring. l.et's get up au hour earlier in the morning to pull weeds. The crop of vegetables will be twice as large as it would be without this extra tcare. There are other ways in which the junior Red Cross can help. At Christ- mas time each year the crippled chil- dren in the Home near Phalen are made glad by the people of St. Paul. XVhy can't we try to make these little un- fortunates happy throughout the year? The boys in the manual training depart- ment could make some toysg the girls could dress dollsg the art students could compile scrap-booksg while the expres- sion pupils could go out there to tell the children stories. Then there's the Home for the Friend- less on Maple and East Seventh. We Y 12 rives, we shall be loath to turn away from the school that has served us as a friend. as a guide, as a tutor, and as an inspiration to seek the better and greater things in lite. Un could go there in groups to entertain the old ladies, or we could go individ- ually to read to those who are almost blind. A few tlowers from the garden NVOllld cheer them up. Old people ap- preciate it so mulch when the young folks think of them. just try it once, and you will want to go again! The county poor farm is another wonderful .field of' opportunity. The poor need a little sunshine, too. Such a clean but cheerless place their home is' These poor people think that no one cares for them llOI' thinks of them. Let's show them that the Red Cross Juniors do. Did you ever stop to think of the many sick in the city hospital without even a Hower to cheer them? Let's remember them when our tiowers bloom. There isn't a better way to advertise .lohnson than through service. Xt 'Thanksgiving and Christmas time we have always looked up a large num- ber of poor families and provided them with their holiday dinners. This is a good work and should be carried on. Still these families exist all the time. Vlthv should we forget them three, hun- dred sixty-three days in the year? Our sewing department doesn't. They have outfitted from head to toot a fatherless little girl from the neighborhood. Those of us who are not in the sewing class could help to build up a fund to help the poor around us. Selfdenial days might just as well come oftener. Now isn't there a great deal that we as a school can do? Let's make our .lunior Red Cross amount to something. Let's carry on! :Xndrew Swanson, '2O. Agnes liinnerooth, '20. . --lv A ef' . t IIRIDN Knitting ,Needles A door slammed and the tchildren coming from school stormed into the library. Their noise aroused their aunt from her reveries. Her book slipped to the floor. Oh, -Xunt Aurelia, we had such a good program at school. You know we celebrated Armistice Day this after- noon. ,-X soldier who had been in the Great Nliorld Wiar talked to us.

Htflh, do! do! chorused the other youngsters as they gathered around her chair. VX'ell. what shall l tell you about? About the warwork my class did at ,lohnson High? Yes, yes. Havent l ever told you about that before? l am surprised. Vilell. let me see, where shall I begin ?e -XVe had a big front wall. it. hung a were many or three of 17 assembly hall, and on the where everyone could see huge service Hag. There stars in this flag, and two l 13 them stood for members of the class ot which l was advisor, so, of course, we were especially anxious to help the boys in Uncle Sams forces. At that time my students were only sophomores, but they surely did do a large amount of workg quite as much, l think, as the juniors or the seniors did that year. The girls were not the only ones who helped either, for we had over a dozen boys who struggled with their knitting needles to keep them from getting tangled up in the wool. My, it certainly was a laughable sight. Here she stopped to smile at the re- collection of the boys trying so hard to learn to knit. ls that when you learned to knit, Aunt Reoo ? Yes, And I expect l made as many funny mistakes as some of the others. l think it was patriotic of those boys to learn to knit, and l'm proud ot them and all the others in our class. They actually learned how to do it, too They didn't knit any socks or sweaters, but they did knit a consider- able number of squares for the two afghans which the .class made. t l'hey learned how to make surgical dressings for the wounded, and a great number of them helped to pack and get ready for shipment boxes of supplies for the overseas hospitals. There was hardly one of my girls who didn't do something to help her c-onntry in its great need. the sewing' teacher had charge of a class in Red Cross sewing. Some of the girls joined that. They made hospital leggiiigs and undershirts. They worked hard on various kinds of clothing' for the little children in France and Belgium. who had lost one or both ot their parents, and had been driven from their and by saying food. ,Xll the pupils -s. 'i ' l ' l un homes by the cruel Gernians. The girls also knitted and made surgical dressings. l do not remember how many pairs of socks and wristlets they turned out, nor how many sweaters and helmets they finished, but .l. know that it was a creditable number. Some- times they would sit for hours niaking surgical dressings. There was a room at the school where the pupils eould go to make them, whenever they had a free period. Besides this. the Red Cross had stations at the publiie libraries and other places, and many of our girls went there to work in the evenings and on Saturdays, Everybody helped in every way he could, by working, by buying thrift stamps, baby bonds, and liberty bonds. could and did save by not eating candy nor chewing gum. The money that would have gone for these things, they used to buy thrift stamps or to increase the refugee fund. You know, eaeh room helped to take care of either a lfreneh or Serbian orphan. Besides that, we collected tin-foil, nut shells, and other waste products for the governmentf, Oh, but those were good boys and girls, weren't they. Auntie ? l always thought so.

'tif' i lm Fi nn e Dramatics Hy the Stage Jlflozzse One day last fall there was a tre- mendous haue over mv head. l really 6 ,1 thought that the world was coming down over my ears, so l popped my head out of llly hole for just a moment. lfvlliit do you suppose it was! The juniors were getting ready to give a Thanksgiving program. They really are a disgustingly noisy hunch. l just couldn't stay in my hole with all that racket overhead, so l decided to cower down in a dark and secluded nook to see what would happen. A pretty maiden, whom the others called Priscilla, was sitting' at her spinf nine' Wheel. She had a charming man- neriand a sweet voice, but l am going to expose her as a fraud. Do you know that she didn't spin at all! My long life on, or l should say, under the stage must have made me much shrewd- er than the average human, because in that whole big audience no one noticed the deception. They could not have, for they applauded and applauded. After the program was over and all those boisterous juniors had gone away. l carried a white piece of paper, which l found on the floor, down into my hole. l had been wondering' what it could be. because everyone inithe audience had had one. l put on my spetctacles and this is what l read: 5 The C'0llI'f.S'l1Iif of .lI1'It'.v .hiftltlldfjll Dame Hadley ....,.,,ee.......,....,,,.,. l,o1s Trott Priscilla, Mullins e,,,,,,,..

As I sat there waiting, a girl dressed like a fairy came out, and gave the audience a greeting from the class of 1920. Five waits sang carols, and Santa Claus presented gifts before the play. Those seniors talked so much while they were getting ready for the performance, that I think l can re- produce the program pretty accurately. Th play was called Il'11-v the CilZli11'l8S Ka-ng.

Indeed 'tis hard for us 'to sever! Yet in our hearts shall always lie Sweet memories of thee forever, -Gladys Rlomquist, '20, 'T Q i Lf -yn its r l i Annan Class History 1. CHRONICLE ln the year of the Master, the one thousand, nine hundred and sixteenth, in the fourth year of XYilson, the ninth month, came a great multitude besieg- ing the school called Johnson, saying after this manner: Let us enroll! And these were the number of them- three and ninety, of whom all waxed carefree exceedingly. And it came to pass that the doors were opened and they entered in peace, even unto every room did these Chil- dren of Nineteen Twenty. Some arrived late, others early, but it came to pass that all came safe, strangers, they came unto the sanctums, the rooms, and they were sore afraid and confounded. And after the taking of the enroll- ment, even of their names and histories, yea, even those of their mothers and fathers, they were left to walk to their rooms after their own devices. And this walk was made fearful unto them exceedingly, a derision daily. Their everlasting confusion shall not be for- gotteng at the memory they shall be greatly embarrassed. C And behold! Certain of the elder students spake among themselves say- ing: These be fresh! And it was even so. And the Freshies were ridiculed for their ignorance, but he that endured was saved. But the first days were at last ac- complished, and their labor was in the beginning. And the teachers taught them daily, and almost destroyed them by pernicious methods. They did not spare them, neither had they pity, nor had they mercy. But at each dayls close came the sound of the bell, then the school was broken up, and all the exponents of study fled, and went forth out of the school, at three by the clock, and by way of two doors, between four walls. And there was laughter and shouting of voices. There was continued diet given them of brain food, even the food of the brain, given the yearlings by 'the teach- ers, every day a portion and part of the night, and all the days of the term. Then came the first passing day, after terms of hardship two, and the teach- ers spake, saying in this wise: f'Now is the end come upon ye, and we shall send anger upon ye, and we shall judge ye according to your works, and re- compense ye in manner accordinglyf' And it came to pass that after the term of captivity the first, the teachers spake kindly to them, the most and maiority, and seated them upon the Hrst throne, which in the opinion of many is above the throne of kings- the Sophomore Throne. And the Fresliies marvelled and gave praise to the teachers: and, while with- out the school another multitude was swarming in confusion, within there was rejoicing and the laughter of many throats. i i II. CHRONICLE And after the first year, there was the sound of a great bell, and the voice of the teacher was audible, saying: Books, pencil, and paper! and these were granted. And after the first days were accom- plished, the people cast lots among them, to bring four to rule in the class. And after the turmoil, the students hailed all the officers that willingly offered them- -5. : 5 . --,V J - g ' l i' il MMM selves as rulers. And these are the chiefs that dwelt at that time in lohnson: Gordon Strate, Helen Eddy, ilonathan Clausen, and Virginia Peter- son. .l And as for our advisor, Miss O'Con- nell was her name, the High Com- mander of Sanctum One and Twenty. ' Now in the fall of this year the Chil-- dren of Nineteen Twenty assembled at the Lake which is far off and called Phalen. Yea, behold! They shall come from afar oil, and lo! these from the bluff, and these from Payne Avenue, even Arthur Nelson. They did not hunger nor thirst, neither did the heat nor sun smite them, for the High Commander led them by the still waters in the shade of the box- elders, unto the bonfires. And lol Vir- ginia Peterson ate four potatoes, even two and two. And it came to pass that in this year a great war broke out, and the Children of Nineteen Twenty consulted among themselves, saying: Let us knit, and sew bandages! And so it was. And Angela McAdams 'knit four and a half socks, and there was envy in the hearts of the- other boys. And then in later time the Children went in and possessed the school, and subdued before them the inhabitants thereof, the Freshies, and did with them as they would. And it came to pass that in the same year Oscar johnson was made to sit in the bubble fountain, even for three minutes. Howbeit, it was all just that was brought upon him, for he had done wickedly, for so spake Frank jackson. Moreover in those days, it was re- ported by messengers that Herman Lar- son, yea, even our Herman Larson, tumbled down the stairs twice. And though the stair did not break entirely, and only one crack appeared, there was laughter and gnashing of teeth. And the 'crack exists even unto this day. And lo! Gordon Strate spake: I aint to the teacher, even unto the teach- er of English One. Yea, even unto her he spake four times thus, after this sort, and joseph Hough spake after the same manner thrice. But likewise these times were the last. So tl1e second year was finished and the people rejoiced. Thus Gordon Strate, the Great Ruler, reigned over each Sophomore, and the time of his reign was two terms, and he did that which was right in the sight of all, including lilarold l.'eterson. And then all went to their homes, some to work, some to play, and Ninean to read Ri!! Van !3V1i1'll?I6, even unto the last page. Ill. CHRONICLE And it came to pass after many days, and after the finishing of Ninean Ol- son's book, that the word of the High Commanders came again unto the Chil- dren of Nineteen Twenty in the third year, saying: Go shew . yourselves unto Johnson, and ye shall have your seats revarnished! And so it was, for it was so! And Strate and 'the other wise lead- ers were succeeded by others as wise: even Joseph Portas, Paul Glemaker, Sarah Barnett, and Grace Elstone. But the tribulations of the Children of Nineteen Twenty this year were great. And in the matter of Hugh Hogan all spake thus: lVhat aileth Hugh? He weareth a stiff collar! Then the spirit of anger came upon Yaps, when he heard these tidings his anger was kindled greatly. And he took his Book and hewed it into pieces, even his Geo- metry Book on the shoulders of Her- man Larson, Now it tcame to pass upon a day that the junior jazz was published, yea, the great publication of the Junior Class. .Xnd the news boys, of whom the lieut- cnant was Harold Heck, smote those who did not buy the Jazz, the five cent paper. He made the slackers come out -Q e 5 l i' ll- Of the holes where they had hid them- selves, even as he had done to the ticket slackers. And in the same week jonathan Clausen went to a matinee dance, of which there were many that year. But he told not his father. Nay, neither his mother, nor lda. Yea, the junior year was filled with jubilation. But in the course of the days the High Commanders startled the Chil- dren of Nineteen Twenty, saying in this wise: Tomorrow is Card Day E' And there was trembling in the knees, in the hands the boys and girls also trem- bled and quakedg so it was a great trembling. But it also passed even as the Children passed. Then the Children were led to the Junior-Senior banquet, the banquet called the S. And the great ruler Portas, even hc who followed Strate, now commanded the Children to seek out those who were cunning, so that they might decorate the gymnasium ceilings. Thus the Children of Nineteen Twen- ty gathered together, their food to eat, and three-fourths of their dances to dance: they were gathered together in the gym. And the boys pitched camp on one side -of the door and the girls on the other, even without the chaperons. Then said Basil: l5ehold! We will pass over unto these maidens, even unto Hazel, and we will discover ourselves unto them l But in fear Vtfalter Benson spake in this wise: Nay, let us tarryg let us stand in our places and not go unto them. And then there was con- fusion. But they hnally went over and danced, each with the other, yea, even on their feet. Likewise all that were assembled came unto lunch, and behold! every man's elbow was against his fellows, so there was great discomfiture! And Walter sat opposite Cora. And at twelve, yea, six and six by the wrist watch, they dispersed, two by two, yea. in pairs. Even Richard Paulson! Now came the great play called the Junior-Senior play, and Hugh, Harold, Helmcr, and Lester represented the Juniors. The IfVr011fg Mister Wright was well done. And exams came again. But soon there was laughter and the noise of many throats, for the great ruler Portas had led the Children of Nine- teen Twenty out of the Junior Year! And Frank jackson borrowed Ninean's Rip Van l?Vinklc. IV. CHRONICLE Now in the year of our endeavor the fourth, of Roy Lewis' oldest tie, the third: of Hazel Kern, the sevcnteenthg of prohibition, the first, of Ninean's book, the eighteenth, the High Com- manders called unto all the Children of Nineteen Twenty, bidding 'them to dis- cover themselves unto their school. And so at last the final year was come, which is called the Senior year, the year of the Senior. And Portas and his wise helpers were followed by others:-even Qscar Johnson, Ida Moline, Ruth Moline, and Grace Elstone. And all the boys, the Seniors, wore collars and tiesg wherefore, by their rainient ye shall know them. And Vtfalter Benson was seen coming 29 through the hall with a gilt-edged book, even with a book of golden edge. But it was not a school book nor bill book, neither was it a stamp book, for I say unto it was Cora's Girl Graduate Book. And so it was with many other boys. The burden of the school was on the Seniors, and these were some of the burdens: The Gleam, The Maroon, The Historical Society, The Booster Club, athletics and debating. And finally they presented twice The Zlfcmi of the Hour upon the stageg yea, The Illan of the Hour was presented by them. And they performed these numerous tasks set be- fore them with great ability, such as had never before been seen in johnson. Scribe: Helmer Oleson.

Prophet: Gladys Blomqui t Y A ew ft. , -'L ,, mom ln the Land of the Moon First Prize Story Professor Grump and Professor limery, two noted men of a famous college, stationed themselves at their respective telescopes on Monday night, March seventeenth, in the year 1930. Profes- sor limery gasped as he applied his eye to the instrument. XVhat was this sight which affected him so? The comet! The comet l.ucilius! shouted Professor Grump from his stand. The comet Lueilius had assumed a peculiar shape and seemed to he ap- proaching the earth with great velocity. The news was spread about that the earth was doomed to destruction and that all its inhabitants must die. Vlfhen the comet reached the earth, as it cer- tainly must in about a week, there would be nothing left of this world but ashes. .Tohn Bert heard the news and was very much amused by it, but he had a change of heart when a few days later the comet could be seen with the naked eye, rapidly approaching its destination. His wife, Getrtrude, was so affected by the news that she was taken ill. This is only a foolish rumor, dear- est. he comforted her. 'fOften and often the prediction has been made that the end of the world was near. You know that nothing ever came of itf, lint making light of her fears was no easy matter, as all the people were panic stricken and every night the comet assumed a fearful and more lurid light. All business was suspended: every one deserted what occupation he was en- gaged in and spent both night and day in prayer. Day by day the comet was coming nearer until the heat from it was al- most unbearable. John Bert realized that something must be done and done quickly, or else he must make up his mind to die. lfe overhauled the airship in his hangar and in it stored some food, some oxygen, and a large amount of concentrated essence of gasoline. ,lohn thought that it would be better to make an attempt to escape than to die without a struggle. On the fifth clay all preparations were ready for the attempt. The moon was shining brightly when the airship left the earth, its only oc- cupants tlertrude and john. On the seventh day, the last day of all living things, the airship passed about five hundred miles distant rrom the comet, which had the appearance of an enor- mous ruby blazing and sparkling in rivers of flame. They could not help but admire this fiery body, although it bore destruction in its path. Time passed, the supply of gasoline was very nearly exhausted, and the food was all gone. john was beginning to feel very weak and dizzy on account of the incredible veloteity with which the plane travelled when once it was freed from the gravity of the earth. Suddenly they were enveloped in a great radiance and Gertrude gave a cry of joy. There before them they saw wide bright spaces which were suffused with a dazzling green light. John tried to bring the airship to the ground, but it refused to obey his touch. It stood about a foot from the surface of this strange planet, and he could bring it down no farther. Could it be the moon they had reached? John had heard be- fore that there was not enough gravity in the moon to hold down various ob- jects. 33 , -Q e 5 1. 'J . - ' T , annum He helped Gertrude out, but they could not touch the ground either. They tried to get along as best they could by swinging their arms and legs, but they did not make much progress. boon they saw coming towards them a band of men dressed in tight-fitting suits of green. They had green com- plexions and green hair, and they spoke in soft musical tones in a language which John could not understand. They floated along without much effort, using a motion of the legs like that of a swimmer, They had the appearance of creatures in a dream. One of them motioned John and Gertrude to follow lim, who adopted the same style of locomotion as the moon folks and got along very smooth- ly. After travelling a long distance without seeming to exert themselves in the least, they passed through a place where there grew enormous flowers of a rich cream color. These flowers smel- led just like apple blossoms and the air all around seemed to be laden with their sweet perfume. Nightingales sang among the trees and birds of many colors flew here and there. As they journeyed along they saw new beauties everywhere. Finally they came to a place where there were a number of stately mansions built -of translucent green stone. These houses were about a foot from the ground by reason of the lack of gravity. The strangers were led into one of the most beautiful of them and a man, who appeared to be about thirty years of age, but in reality was one hundred and seventy, came to meet them. The reason, that the man looked so mulch younger than he was, was because in this strange land no one ever looked or felt older than thirty years. The man addressed the strangers in English, asking, VVere you inhabitants of the earth ? john answered in the affirmative. The old man Went on, I was once an inhabitant of that unhappy place, but l foresaw its terrible end and came to the moon, the inhabitants of which can truly say that no race has ever been wronged by them and that they never have op- pressed the weak. They have their re- ward for this by being allowed to live on this peaceful, happy planet, where there is no sickness, death. nor sorrow. l welcome you in the name of the moon folks, and l hope that you will make your home among us. Some of the tranquil peacefulness about them stole into the hearts of Gertrude and John, and they knew that they, too, would wish to dwell there forever. Toward them came a band of beauti- ful maidens singing this song of the Land of the Moon: The land of youth. of love and truth, From pain and sorrow free. The land -of rest in the golden west On the verge of the azure sea. Catherine Devine, 222. -Q. 'Q ll MIODN Q ,-.1-.L ... X 1 .li V .. y -.4 3 Follow the Gleam O young Mariner.

Many students wished a name with the bl worked into it in some wayg others desired a name suggesting the beautiful high loca- tion of the building, like The Outlook, The Hillfop, or The Crest. However, none of these names met with the ap- proval of everyone. Finally an assembly was called to decide upon the name of the paper. The above names and many others were voted on, but not one of them aroused much enthusiasm. At that point Miss Norton suggested the name of The GIPUIII, first reading the beautiful poem of ,lft'I'll'lI and the Glram. to the students. The inspiring thoughts of the poem must have struck a sympathetic chord in the students. for with a unanimous vote. thev declared themselves in favor of the name, The Clmm. The class of 1920. after much con- sideration. adopted for its motto Fol- low the Gleamf' This motto is one of 35 -Tennyson. inspiration and guidance. Let us think of the Gleam as being the way to all truth and the source of right, and follow its cheerful beam. Let us take unto our- selves the advice which the famous wizard of Camelot gave to the young marine1'. XVhenever despair or despond- ency threaten to overcome us, let us endeavor to keep in mind the guiding light of the Gleam. Strong men have always followed it. Vtfhen fortune seemed to -overcome them, they did not go into a corner and lie down. but fought adversity with every ounce of strength, eyes fixed on the Gleam. Let us also make the Gleam our am- bition, our ultimate goal. We all per- ceive iu the distance the end we are striving for. lf we keep working, no matter how far away that goal may seem now, we shall constantly draw nearer to it as we grow older. XVe may hitch our wagon to a star, but just bitching' it won't carry us very far. TYe must work, work, work, with the Gleam in view. XYork and high ideals alone will enable us to attain our goal. Nothing else can help us get there. Money and induence cannot put us there. It is within our- selves that we must find the power to drive us to the star.

The Gleam always shone just beyond these obstacles, and they follow- ed it. Those who have fallen out of the running saw the same Gleam at one time, but perhaps they lost courage or were distracted 'by other things, and so gave up their pursuit of it. Donlt you agree that the class of 1920 has a better motto than any other class which has been graduated from John'- son? VVouldn't it be a worthy motto for our school? Wie hope that some action will be taken toward its adoption. NVe h-ope that all who come after us will FollOW the Gleamf! Edmund Niglitiiigale, '20, The Seasons Hurrah!

He craved action. The older soldiers told him he would soon see enough of it, but their advice had no effect on him, for :ts soon as he got the chance, he volun- teered to go out with a raiding party. He was given careful instructions as to his part of the raid. Its object was to surprise a portion of the German trenches, to comb out the dugouts in that section, and to kill all the men in them who did not surrender immediate- ly. This sounded more interesting than sitting idly in a muddy dugout while shells screeched overhead, and Eddie began to plan to whom he would send his first German helmet. On the night of the raid he was provided with bombs, and at one o'clock the party slipped out of the trench, and started stealthily across no-man's land on their hands and knees. But once they were past their own barbed wire, Eddie began to grow nervous. It was a strange and unpleasant sensation, crawling along out in the open between the lines, and the night was very dark. The only time there was light was when a star-shell or Verey light went up, and that was worse than the darkness, for it made them easy targets if they were seen, Eddie suddenly developed a surprising and fantastic imagination. He saw strange shapes gliding bv in the dark, and twice he almost fired at them. they seemed so real. Suddenly a German Pri: 0 Story machine gunner, who was a victim of the same illusions, turned his gun loose, Others joined in, and the raiding party scattered for cover, while the bullets snapped the barbed wire with a twang, or threw a spark as they glanced off it. Eddie found himselt alone in a small l1ole. He curled up and waited. He was rather glad for a rest as he was in a state of high excitement. The ma- chine gun fire soon died -out, and Eddie collected his bombs and crawled out of his shell hole. When he looked for the rest of the men, however. they were nowhere in sight in the blackness. More- over, he had lost his sense of direction. -lust then a star-shell burst, and as he dropped to the ground, he thought he saw the figures of his companions over to the left. VVhen the light died out he started in that direction. Soon he came to the wire, and made a sl-ow and at times painful progress through it. just as he slowly slid under the last strand, a restless searchlight laid its brilliant finger on him. lnstantly he froze in the position he was in. The light wandered off, and he continued on his way. But now, remembering that he must be quite near the enemy, he began to go more slowly. His enthusiasm had been somewhat dampened by his exper- ience at the wire. Hadn't the lieutenant said there was a distance of two hun- dred yards between the trenches? He was certain that he had crawled at least half a mile, and there are a good many things easier than crawling in no man's land. 38 'I' p iv 'AA . Then by the light of another star shell he saw the parapet in front of him, and remembered that he was not an army nor even a raiding party, so he stopped and waited for some sign -of the others. XYhile waiting' he began 'to picture some of the things that might happen over in the trench. lle thought of how one bomb could kill or mutilate several liddic llurnses. He thought of the tierman saw-toothed bayonet: he had heard that the jagged wounds they made never healed. He tried to think of other things but could not. Suddenly the fake artillery bombard- ment, that was the signal to attack. Y :mom broke out furiously on the right. llddie felt almost relieved. It would be better to go and take a fighting chance, than to lie out in no man's land and think of what might happen. He sprang up and bounded toward the trench. It was strange, he thought, what a sudden exhilaration filled him. He felt fiercely joyous at the prospect of the tight, and his fears and iinaginings left him en- tirely. T-lolding' a bomb ready to throw before him, he uttered a wild yell, and leaping' the parapet, -- - - landed back in his own trench on top Of his outraged friend, Private llurke. james Mayfield. '22.

Most boys long to be bandits, to wear a mysterious mask and to cock a pistol, but Ben lirinkle was different. He wanted to creep stealthily upon some desperado just in the act of looting the bank or assaulting a peaceful citizen, leap upon him single-handed, and, after having triumphantly beaten him to the ground and tied him up, lead his prize to Chief O'Connell's office. The Chief, on see- ing the man for whose capture a ten thousand dollar reward had been olter- ed, would turn pale with surprise. He would lean across his high desk, clap Ben on the shoulder, present him with the reward, publish the act of his daring in the newspapers, and-but this Ben could only think possible in the wildest flights ot his imagination-pin a great brass medal on his coat. Because of such ambitions, Ben spent most of his time in reading Arscne Lupin, or in trailing suspicious-looking characters about town. Nothing came of his endeavors, however. Once he found tingerprints on the pantry shelf which led to the conviction of his little sister, and again he caught the cat stealing some milk. He discovered auger holes in the side of the house, and, having heard that burglars always mark the houses of their intended vic- tims in this way, Ben carefully took the measurements, intending thus to find the owner of the auger. The discovery that Mr. Krinkle had just such an auger stopped this investigation. Naturally such little deeds did not satisfy Benls ambitious soul. Then one day the Saukton police went on a strike, and the Boy Scouts were hastily summoned to report for duty in their place. Row if ever's my chance, was Benis first thought. 'l.here's sure to be a lot happening around now, and there was. Owing to the strike, crime and law- lessness were prevalent throughout the city. The Saukton papers were full ot daring burglaries committed, tor the most part, in the residence districts, and Ben, as he read of them, knew that at last his time had come. lflis first day on trafiic duty, neverthe- less, passed disappointingly. Xo murders, no suicides, not even a hold-up any- where near his post! Consequently he was not in the best of moods when he reached home that night. Good news, however, awaited him. Mr. Madison, the seoutmaster, had telephoned, order- ing Ben to substitute for a sick scout on lValnut Avenue the following day. On the Avenue! Now for it! Ben was so excited that he was forced to turn five handsprings to preserve his equilibrium. Now, indeed, something was bound to happen. That night he dreamed his dreams came true, and Chief O'Connell was just pressing him to accept the paltry sum of 325,000 when Mrs. Krin- kle's Six o'cl-ock. Ben awoke him. His enthusiasm was cooled a little. however, when he finally surveyed the Avenue. None of the homes looked in- viting' from a burglar's point of view, but Ben consoled himself with the thought that Sherlock lllolmes declared that often the humblest home conceals the greatest treasure. There was one exception, however. a colonial house surrounded by pretty gar- dens, which stood well baick from the street. Ben recognized the place as that of Vincent Montgomery. He wondered if Xlrs. BTOl'll0'01l'lGI'V was ever friffhten- 6 . B -i l ' ll nnao ed at staying alone during the night with all the valuable jewels which he was sure she had, and only her little lirench maid for protection. Mr. Mont- gomery, Ben knew, was away on a business trip, and the servants, since joining the union, worked only by the day, going elsewhere at night. At first Ben attended strictly to his duty, but as walking up and down be- came rather irksome, he sat down on the curbstone in front of the Montgomery home, and began to amuse himself with throwing stones into the sewer. Suddenly a terrified shriek rang out from the house behind him. lien jump- ed to his feet. Another shriek was followed by excited cries of 'lklelpl Help! Catch him! Here he comes now! Oh, run! Ben dashed into the house and up the stairs in the direction of the sounds. From a room at his right he heard a loud crash and stifled screams. He flung open the door,-then stopped abruptly, for the disorder of the room before him was worse than the most chaotic scene he had ever beheld in a Chairs were over- moving picture. thrown, pieces of broken bric-a-brac lay scattered on the floor, but no one was in sight, Quickly recovering from his amaze- ment, however, Ben shouted, XYhat's the matter here ? Perfect silence,-then a door opened cautiously at his left, and he saw a woman's tearstained face appear. ls it gone ? its owner whispered. Uxhillllff' ll'here? l don't see any- thing.

Q-o-o-o-h! and she sank to the Hoor. lien started across the room, but, see- ing only a few pictures hanging crook- edly on the wall, concluded that the woman was delirious.

More furni- ture was -overturned, the woman scream- ed. and something clutched Ben's hair. llen grabbed it. It felt soft and he flung it with a shiver to the floor,- then stood stock still as he saw the cause of the disturbance. .X little gray bat lay at his feet, its winffs fluttering as it drew its last 5 breath. ls it dead? anxiously asked Mrs. Montgomery. For answer, Ben gingerly picked up the animal and, holding it at arm's length, dropped it into the waste basket. lnstantaneously Mrs. QXlontgomery's tears stopped liowing. You brave, sweet boy,', she said resting her hand on liens shoulder, lf you much to his embarrassment. hadnlt come when you did, l would surely have died of fright.

Gordon Strate, '20, The Liberty ,l lonor was established by the class of 1918. ,lfach year there are to be elected from the senior class -one boy and one girl, who have shown con- spicuous usefulness in the general life of the school. The character of these students and the influence they have contributed as citizens of the school community are the basis of the award. They are elected by a group com- posed of tlj the faculty of the school and KZU a committee of live members from each of the lower classes, the juniors, the sophomores. and the fresh- men. The electing body' conducts xt secret ballot, informal until the number of candidates is reduced to four, when the formal ballot is taken. This year tw-o students received a majority ot the votes on the lirst ins formal secret ballot. This fact speaks for itself. The two students are tirace lilstone and Gordon btrate. They will receive an emblem, designed by the art department, and paid for out of the in-- terest on the 1,ibert.y bond. donated for the purpose by the class of 1918. The two students chosen this year. together with the Liberty Honor students of other years, will constitute a committef to determine the expenditure of the bond at its maturity eight years hence.

The response for subscriptions and material helped us, to a great ex- tent, to make our paper what it was. NVe also take this opportunity to ex- press our appreciation of the services rendered us by our literary, art, and business advisors. No one can realize the amount of work that falls on the faculty members of our staff. Now it's up to you to see and appreciate that. As the editor ot the Glmillz-, I wish to thank the staff for. and commend them on, the amount and quality of material they submitted this past year. All de- partments flourished and did exceeding- ly well. I wish to emphasize, especially, the work done by our advertising staff. This department was the backbone of our paper. Origi11ality was our standard when we started on our tirst publication. lille were determined to maintain it tlirough- out the year. Now, originality in the line of jokes is a difficult proposition. but we had jo-ke editors that were assets to our paper. The same was true of all department editors. The other members of the staff join me in wishing our successors co-opera- tion like that which we received. May the next year he a prosperous year for them. G.

The parties have been 'very largely attended, as many as three hundred girls remaining to enjoy most of them. lt has been a problem to ar- range entertainment and refreshments for so many. but the difficulties have been met and solved with a good deal of success. Sarah Barnett has been a very capable and popular president. The ladies of the faculty have shown much interest, which has been greatly appreciated. One of the aims of the club has been to promote friendship be- tween the teachers and the girls. We have had many good times. One thing we feel deserving of special men- tion is the play. given by one of Miss lN'lortun'Q expression classes. entitled HM' First Jssignnzezzt, which was well pa- tronized by the students and netted the elub forty-two dollars. A part of this money was spent in purchasing badly needed mirrors for the toilet rooms. We all feel greatly indebted to Miss Morton for her kindness in managing the play for us. We want our club to foster high ideals of womanliness and scholarship among the girls. VVe also Wish to make Johnson .High a place where all may equally enjoy social activities-and to discourage the spirit of eliques. We wish that every girl may learn to think of the other girlu that we may all derive the maximum of joy and profit from our high school course. C. l,.

Un the twelfth day of December the members chosen by the faculty met for the iirst time in room thirty-one. There were ten from the senior class, ten from the junior class, and tive from the so- phomore class. The seniors xxfere: Oscar Johnson, lflelmer Oleson, Angela McAdams, Helen Eddy, Gordon Strate, Basil Nelson, Sarah Barnett, Felix Os- lund, Edward French, and Grace El- stoneg the juniors: Dorothy Plocher, lrma Bley, Lois Trott, Hartland Brandt, Darius Schroeder, Nanele Kees, Ruth Roesel, jessica Gibbs, Marjorie Gadbois, 56 and Gertrude Childsg the sophomores: Majella Kucheman, james Mayfield, liernice Kern, Olga Tolaas, and D-orothy Eddy. The faculty members are the Misses Morton, Sliney, Axtell, Perry, Freenien, l-ckler, Mr, Bird, Mr. Guise, and Mr. lzlarrell. The oflieers elected at this meeting were Miss Perry, president, Mr. Bird. treasurer, and Grace Elstone, secretary. l1Vhen Mr. Bird left, Mr. Harrell was made treasurer in his place. Curators were also appointed for the several scrap books which were to be assembled. lXVith the issuing of the historical number of the Clcam on April 27, came the first memorable work of this society. The organization is new, but according to its work and purposes now, it will be Very popular in the future. G. . 'E MIW' 1 -if' lim r t ARODN The Johnson Shorthand Efficiency Club The Iohnson Shorthand Efficiency Chrb has had three meetings since Sep- tember. At each meeting the secretary's report was read, an entertaining pro- gram was given, and a social hour in the gymnasium followed. At ea-ch of the meetings we had the privilege of being addressed by some influential citizen of St. Paul, who gave us some valuable ideas as to our future positions as stenographers. Many timely sug- gestions were given by graduates as to what the business man expects of the beginner, thereby bridging 'thc chasm between the novice and the office. The club began its existence six years ago with a membership of twenty-five, and held its meetings at the home -of Mr. Paulus. Today we have one hun- dred sixty-four members enrolled, many of whom are faculty members of john- son High School, with an attendance of approximately four hundred at each meeting. The club is composed of all students in the shorthand classes, graduates, and any others who desire to join by pay- ing dues-of twenty-five cents a year. In our treasury we now have 35518, which will be used to buy vocational books fortthe library in the stenographic department. Our motto is, Be Somebody: Start Somethingl' and we always keep this in mind. The year 1919-1920 has in- deed been successful, and we are going to try with more enthusiasm to make the club larger and more successful in the future. A -,aged l nn on The Booster Cluh Although but newly organized, the j. H, S. B-ooster Club has exerted a great influence on our school life. The main purpose of the club is to establish and maintain a more vigorous school spirit, so that lohnson may be brought into the limelight, lts sphere of activities includes athletics and draniatiics. The club had a whirlwind start. the Booslvv' Balloon, a publication, the Booster held january fourteenth be -one of the most rous- at Tohnson.

'T r 5 L 1 l' MNDN The Debating Team Here we are, the big three, Oleson, Paulson, and Larson, the Johnson re- presentatives in a most successful season of debate. Twenty-tive prospective can- didates reported to Mr. Engson, our coach, last October. In December, six of the leading 'candidates debated in the last try-out. The ab-ove first team was chosen, while Joseph Hough, Arthur Nelson, and Edward Bergstrom were placed on the second team. The subject adopted by the Minnesota State High School Debating League was: Resolved that the United States should grant c-omplete independence to the Philippines at the next regular ses- sion of Congress. The first important debate was an elimination contest held in the johnson auditorium. Representing the third congressional district, and defending the negative side of the question, our team defeated the team from Henderson High School by a two to one vote of the judges. Then again on April ninth, johnson, upholding the affirmative side of the question, defeated Slayton High in the semi-finals. VVe regret that we are unable to publish the results of the final state championship contest with the winner of the Minneapolis North- Sauk Center debate, because the Maroon will go to press before the debate is held. If we win the state championship, as we hope to, the chief credit will be due Mr. Engson, our coach, who has spared neither time nor effort to whip us into shape. H. L. AQ- 'Q l ' mam il -iNlllll'li B T -Q l i L' ll T 1 l Football The football team of l919 was n-ot a championship team by any means, but nevertheless it deserves an unlimited amount of credit. On the eleven were a few men who had played or substitut- ed in various games the year before. Outside of these few the squad was practically inexperienced. Out of this green material, in spite of the odds and disadvantages which yearly face the Johnson coach, Mr. Rees succeeded in building a fighting machine. The boys always met defeat as sports- men and showed the qualities of grit and gameness in every encounter. The players never shirked as the day of battle came on, even though the odds were against them on all occasions. The work of Captain Carl Peterson and the Sohlberg brothers stands out above the rest. Their consistent ground gaining on the gridiron was a great factor in keeping the score from going skywards. Much, too, can be said of Vlfikstrand and Holmgren as backiield men. The backfield was later in the season given a boost by the appearance of Cleary Fredell, who had just been mustered out of service. l The Johnson line was the lightest in the city. The center position was well taken care of by Wemple. jackson and NV-oll. who were both new men, played the guard positions. They were always in the fight and proved their worth on the defensive. Hogan played a whale of a game at tackle. Thomssen, Schil- ling, and nlohnson, although inexperien- ced, played like veterans at all times. F. O. .1 g ! iiizl'1l?'7' ' if 'il e L 1' ll :mom Hockey Although the Athletic Club hockey competition was very keen throughout leant of St. Paul has won great renown during the year of 1950, we have not noticed any of the city high school teams shining in reiiected glory. One reason for this is that conditions in the high schools are not verv favoinlile for competion in this winter sport. The johnson septet played three games during the Season of 1920. They were defeated in two of the encounters and played zi. scoreless tie in the other. Arltliough they were defeated, the scores were never overwhelming, but show that 62 the season, The IYUFIIIL Players Evert Xlfcinple if Czipty c,,,,,,c,, Herbert Anderson ,..,,,,,,V,,,,,,,,,, Henry Anderson ,,,,,,,r,,,,, ,,,,, Uscar Johnson .,,...

Humboldt also won two games from us, but both encount- ers were decided in the last quarter of play, and by only three points. Lindgren, Holmgren, and X'Vikstrand played well and proved their worth. Thomssen, Peterson, and Olsen were the luminaries of the season. lVendell Qlsen was chosen by the sporting editors of the -city as center on the mythical city all-star team by a un- animous decision. The johnson juniors were 'the cham- pions in their division in the interclass series, winning five games and losing one. David .Kasofsky and Reynold Olsen, forwards, Otto Thomssen, center, and Kenneth Burke and Ephraim Holm- gren, guards, all played well and will furnish the makings for a strong school quintet next year. ' F. O. Baseball The johnson High School has met with greater success in 'baseball than in any other sport. This is due mainly to the tact that a large squad of candi- dates for positions on the team have come out for practice every year, so that the coach has had sufficient ma- terial front which to pick a nine. This year the coach races the problem of building a team minus the services of six of last year's nine. The greatest loss will be felt in the infield, as john- son is without a pitcher and a catcher who have had any experience. The 1920 squad will be built around the three veterans from last year's nine: Captain lVeudell Olsen, Carl Peterson, and livert Wfemple. Olsen will un- doubtedly be seen in the outfield again. l.'eterson, who is about to begin his fourth year of scholastic baseball, is ex- pected to play shortstop, while VVemplc may play at third base. Among the candidates who have come out for baseball practice are: Solberg, 'l'homssen, Ostman, Hogan, Clausen, Stoeckman, Holmgren, Johnson, Reed, and Peterson. Coach Rees is ex- pecting to develop a strong team before the first scheduled game is to be played and has high hopes of entering a nine into the field that will make a real fight for the city championship. F. 0. The G. A. A. Heretofore the term i'Girls' Athletics at johnson has been merely a name ap- plied to something that might have been. This year, however, Girls' Athletics have been fully alive. Wie were one of the nrst, it not the tirst, organizations to enter upon a successful year, and have met twice a week since September. Wie have regular class teams and a Hrst team selected by merit. These teams have finished two series of basketball games, one of volleyball, and have done some hiking. The teams are represented by and are under control of a :council consisting of two members from each class. At the irst meeting of the year we drew up a constitution by which the members of the organization are gov- erned. This constitution provides the number ot points to be awarded for participation in the various sports. A ill is given for thirty points won in any one of the games or activities of the association. At this meeting the officers for the year were elected. They are: President and Vice President, Angela McAdams g Secretary and Treas- urer, Lois Trott. Any girl attending ,lohnson and taking part, in any one ot the girls' sports is a member of the association, A. M. C-3 LAUGHIN G ALL X :nv 1, G fx,-.. 'J Y .
