Prophecy is always uncer- tain, but this fact of steady increase in the high schools seems to be one of the surest things ahead of us. Johnson High School has shown marked growth during the last five years, especially since l9l9. The average number of pupils in school in October, l920, was 6l4. ln February, 1922, it was 890. A couple of years ago two portables were built close to the high school build- ing, but the present enrollment is requiring various makeshifts in order to ac- commodate from period to period the classes on hand. The original provi- sions in the building gave fifteen academic class rooms in addition to the vari- ous special rooms and laboratories. The present academic classes are above this number for every period in the day except the seventh. With the indica- tions of continued growth, the necessity for better building provision is press- ing. Unfortunately the same situation is developing at each of the high schools, and the problem before the city in securing proper buildings is a heavy one. The site.and the building at Johnson are not well suited to en- largement, hence, we must look forward to provision of another building as soon as the public will grant the necessary funds. The present building in situation and arrangement is fairly Well suited for use as an intermediate or junior high school which, in the development of the city, will soon be needed in that section. Hence, provision of a new high school building will help also to relieve crowding in adjacent grade schools. How soon this need can be met no one can say definitely since it depends upon the determination of the people to invest more funds in school buildings: but we are confident that the need will be appreciated, for no public activity strikes the interest-and the profits-of more people than do the educational needs of the city. A city that provides good school buildings as rapidly as possible, that maintains high standards of school Work and a strong course of study, is a city which attracts new residents, holds and increases its industrial activities, and finds the cost of its school system more than repaid in its property increases, to say nothing of the advantages in citizenship that such a town has over one more careless of its opportunities. St. Paul has given in- creasingly large sums in the last few years to the public schools. So has every other growing city. The real difhculty-not yet fully recognized-is that the basis of a dozen years ago was seriously low for that time. The additional provisions, generous in comparison with the earlier amounts, have yet barely allowed us to keep up. The city should face for its own advancement the task of a generous increase in its school investment. This increase should include additions to other high schools, but it must include provision at the Johnson. Thus, the immediate, urgent problem is one of school accommodations. But in a larger sense the future of Johnson High School depends on its faculty and its students. They have the task of maintaining its standards, increasing its effectiveness, and making the spirit of the school a factor of power and strength for the whole community. The four years a pupil spends in high school seem a short time and pass almost before one knows it. Each student is apt to think his influence is slight, but as one class goes another comes, and the succession of students interested in their work, determined to gain their utmost and to maintain the school's reputation, constitute a factor in school growth almost as great as the influence of the more permanent faculty. Johnson High School has made a strong record. It is meeting its pres- ent difficulties arising from crowded conditions, in fine spirit, and securing just as good work as ever. With the students lies at least half the responsibil- ity for continuing this high record. Such a record will be one of the strongest points toward securing the new accommodations which the school needs. --S. O. Hartwell. m tis M5100 CN Nlipflf THE JOHNSON HIGH OF THE FUTURE It is the ambition of every high school to grow larger and better and to be known as an up-to-date school and one which students are proud to go to. This desire is as keenly felt at Johnson as it is anywhere else. There is not a student here who would not like to see Johnson High have a newer, larger building, with all the latest improvements and a larger enrollment. This last wish is rapidly being fulfilled. The school is growing steadily. Already the number attending is half again as large as the number for which it was built. Sooner or later a new building must be erected, possibly in some other loca- tion. There are many fine high schools in the United States, and from these an idea may be had as to what this new school could be like. One of the greatest assets a high school can have is a private athletic field close to the building, where the teams may practice and the games be held. ln some of the better equipped schools, and especially in those of the smaller towns, this field is often equal in size to the fields of many colleges, having a grandstand, a track, and a high wall or fence around the outer edge. ln localities where the space is not limited, there are often large grounds at- tached, lawns and trees furnishing a very pretty setting for the school. There is often room for tennis courts which are always popular. Sometimes these courts are not exclusively school property, but are operated in connec- tion with the department of parks and playgrounds. ln the construction of a new school, many things such as providing for wide halls and stairways, and for good ventilating and lighting systems are, of course, well taken care of. But there are other things which are not so well provided for and which are equally important. There should be locker rooms for both boys and girls so that the halls may be kept as free as possible. The lunchroom should have a place to itself and should be big enough so that students would not have to eat in the gym, the assembly, or the mechanical drawing room, or any other room. The double line lunch system, such as is used in most cafeterias, should be introduced, for it saves much time. The lunchroom should also be well equipped with steam tables to keep the food hot before being served. Likewise the equipment of the class rooms, of the wood and machine shops, the gym, the domestic science room, the sewing room, the library, the music room, the chemistry and physics laboratories, and the mechanical draw- ing room may be remarkably line and complete. One of the newest of the modern improvements is a physical inspection office. Here all the students are given a thorough examination and the re- sults tabulated. This oflice works in conjunction with the city health depart- ment, and does much to promote good health in the school. There is often an emergency sick room attached to this office where accidents or sudden cases of illness can be cared for. Some of the larger schools have a vocational guidance bureau. lts object is to find the natural talents of the student and to direct his education along that line. This may save several years of useless study on some sub- jects that will never be used and for which the student has no abilityg and he will work harder since he will be studying the things he is interested in, and in which he sees a purpose. The gymnasium is a much used part of the building, and should al- ways be made large enough to accommodate the crowds that attend the basketball games. Some of the more expensive schools have a large swim- ming pool attached, which is used on alternate days by the girls and the boys. Although the student body has much to do with a school's progress, there are much better chances for development and efficiency in a new, mod- ern building under better working conditions. 6 EQ M300 NQKJQJ THE 1922 MAROON is Dedicated To a Future Johnson High School Which Shall Have AN ATTRACTIVE SETTING ATHLETIC GROUNDS EQUIPMENT FOR COMMUNITY CENTER WORK A HEALTH DEPARTMENT VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE ADEQUATE HOUSING 7 12226 MQHQQNQQQ N..Ci7!2f -H JOHN M.

FROM DARJEELING TO JOHNSON It is with pleasure that l respond to the request of the Maroon Board to write on education in India as far as l understand it. I have been at school for ten years in Darjeeling, and perhaps the students at Johnson High would like to hear about my experience. The educational institutions for white children in India are more or less closely connected with one or the other of the principal churches. For ex- ample, in Darjeeling, one of the summer resorts, there were five schools: Two under the supervision of the Church of England, two under the Roman Catholic Church, and one belonging to the Methodist Episcopal Church. The Church of England schools cater mostly to the children of Government officials, while the Roman Catholics in some Way appear to have assumed responsibility for the Anglo-Indian children, whereas the children of mis- sionaries and business men patronize the Methodist school. The school hours as a rule compare very closely with those at Johnson High School. Lessons start at 8:30 A. M. and end at 2:45 P. M. with a recess of forty-five minutes beginning at l0:30. The school work is closely Htted into the routine leaving no period for study during those hours. Study has to be done at other times, especially assigned for it, usually between half past five and 8:30. The routine for Monday, Wednesday and Friday is the sameg while Tuesday and Thursday are differently arranged: whereas Sat- urday being a half holiday saves the school routine from being monotonous. On the Plains, the schools are nearly all equipped with motor or horse busses, which go around to the homes of the day scholars, collecting the pupils and bringing them to school. After class the students are taken home in the same way. , These busses are not needed in any of the hill schools as most of the students are boarders and the day pupils live very close to the school building. l think the driver of such a bus has a right to special com- ment as he looks very dignified in his Oriental attire. The feet are usually bare, and if he happens to be at all fashionable he will wear puttees, put on in a more or less military style. The long shirt reaches almost to the knees with a waistcoat Worn over it. The pugri for turbanl is his crown of glory. It is a garment from ten to fifteen yards long, which he Winds round his head leaving a yard or so hanging down his back, reminding one of the pictures of India Rajahs, we often see. Practically all schools are under the direct supervision of the University of Cambridge, from which all sets of examination papers are sent twice a yearg in July and December. One school in each town is selected for the local centre, and there all candidates must go, at exactly the time assigned for the examination. A minister generally presides at these. The candi- dates are permitted to bring nothing but a pen to the examination hall, and when all is ready each pupil is presented with a printed question-paper and other essentials, and the long looked for, long dreaded occasion has ar- rived. Assistants patrol the aisles, giving those who require it, more paper, ink, etc. Poor things! Those who can't think of it just now. There are only two short hours, and then one's fate is sealed. After that, the papers are collected and sent the same evening to Cambridge. It takes three long months of waiting before the Results arrive in a printed pamphlet. Besides the general subjects that come under the above examination, a professor of music is sent from the Trinity College of Music in Cambridge to make a tour all over India, examining those who have made a special study of music. He travels to each institution in its turn, taking each candi- date separately. The examinee must be able to play two pieces, two studies, scales, and a piece by sight and is graded at once so there is no great sus- pense as in the Cambridge examinations. From the foregoing, one may see that though the education in india is very different from that here, it is quite modern and up-to-date. 12 Q lie MQQMQQN if i oil 6 ' A Q6-ess 1 Y ' Q eN.QX2f1fi O 7 Q if YI -I If L President - Vice President Secretary - Treasurer - Valedictorian Salutatorian Ada Altmann Arline Clang Vardis Cope Helen Dostal Julia Dostal Ben Gottfried Evelyn Hanke Alvin Hilgedeck George Hoppe Violet Jackson Helen Johnson Senior Officers.

Causing confusion is a freshman's privi- lege, and it is one of which he always takes advantage. Ah, here comes a freshman! He is vainly looking for C. R. Freshman Cin anguished tonesj: Where's C. R? l am supposed to be there first period, and first period will be over before I get there. A senior comes to the rescue. Freshman continues his tale of woe: One big boob told me C. R. means 'Crawl to Your Rightf After being taken to C. R. the freshie says, Why, l passed this plass three times. A loud squeal issues from behind door of room !8. A senior rushes up to a soph, who is leaning against the door, and says, What's behind that door? Let it out this instant. The soph looks confused and walks away. The senior then aids the white and shaky freshie to come from behind the door. Senior: What were you doing behind that door? Freshie falmost in tears? : ul went behind the door to see what the number of the room was, and l found that l couldn't get out. fHe grows confidential? We fresh- men may be green, but do you know that we are the first organized freshman class? Miss Moore is our class adviser, and we are to hold our meetings in room 29. The Senior flooking duly impressed, : That's a fine beginning! Keep it up, my boy. Act lx The Gym. Scene II: Second Term. At the freshmen party. A talkative freshie corners a teacher: HDon't you think this party is great? The popcorn balls, ice cream, cookies, and apples are wholesome. l learned last term, in cooking, that they contain vitamines. We surely gave very useful presents. Miss Downing received a likeness of a modern hero, Charlie Chaplin, and Mr. Guise has a whistle, which l hope he won't blow in the halls. Oh! must you go? Oh, Ethel, don't you just love to talk with the teachers? Ethel: Yes, the teachers are very friendly, and you told that teacher almost all of the class history: but forgot to mention the fact that we are the class basketball champions and that all the basketball suits are paid for.

Play within a play: The lrish Woman: We present, for your edilication this morning, two plays: The first play, Pat's Letter with Judith Schilling as Katie, and Albin Nelson as Pat: the second play, the Pot of Broth by William Yeats in which we have Charles Peabody, Grace Schoeller, and Melvin Brandies taking the leading parts. The sophomores will sing their class song, and then some of the girls are going to entertain you with an lrish dancef, During the presentation of the play the audience shows a growing ad- miration for the talented sophomores. Act lll: Scene l. Phalen Park. Around the fire, flaming and blue and red in the crisp autumn air, are crouched many dark forms. The air is full of suspense and excitement. One of the junior girls screams: Oh, Charles, look out! You are going to let the marshmallow fall into the fire. Oh, now it's burned! Charles: I like 'ern that way. A Romantic Junior Girl: lsn't this thrilling? just look at the moon. Every one agreed that it was thrilling, and why should they not be thrilled? Were there not wieners, buns, apples, cocoa, and marshmallows enough for all? Later in the evening Florence Petersen demonstrated the power of music has to soothe the savage breast. Thus ended a delightful evening and many a junior dreamed that night of having served for dinner music on the half shell. 26 as M5300 i.3Q2f2..f Act III: Scene ll. The Assembly Room.

You missed a good time when you missed the Clown Party. The decorations were artistic and original. Green, red, orange, and yellow con- fetti was usecl. l had loads of fun playing, 'Rachel, where art thou?' 'Leap frog,' and 'Poison Snakef ul told one of the boys that he made a good looking clown, and now he won't speak to me. Here comes Miss Freeman: l think l had better go to work. Act IV: Scene l. Johnson High School. There is a sound of lamentation and sorrow. The senior boys come weeping down the hall. They are about to perform the last sad rites over the body of Poor English, The Rev. lVlr. Colberg conducts the service with great solemnity. A heavily veiled person, whose trousers show beneath its dress, and whose white collar and tie can be seen, weeps copious tears and mutters again and again: My poor boy. He's dead. Who'd a thunk it? Two girls attending the funeral find time to discuss a less melancholy subject. First Girl: What was the Christmas assembly about? I was ill at the time and missed it. Second Girl: The seniors gave the assembly. They presented The Shoemaker and the Elves, and Santa gave some very useful gifts to the faculty. Third Girl: Girls, l am on the war path. l bought a ticket for the senior matinee dance and now l see, by the date on the ticket, that the dance has been given already. l am ten cents in the hole, and the worst of all, some one is chuckling over my gullibilityf' Act IV: Scene l. First Senior: ulsnit this the poorest picture you ever saw? Second Senior: Yes, but it looks so natural. First Senior ftartlyl: Thank you. Second Senior fconfusedlyjz Don't misunderstand me. What lmean is that the picture is not very good, but they do you justice. First Senior: Never mind. You keep on getting deeper and deeper all the time. Second Senior fdeparting mumblinglz H 'When l consider'-'When l consider'-Let me see. Oh, yes, 'How my light.' lt's too bad. l knew it a short time ago, but itis gone now: and just when l need most to know it. Some time later the two seniors stopped to discuss topics of general interest. First Senior: Well, we have made our last contribution to the Gleam, the Junior-Senior reception and play are over, and the last ordeal is the commencement exercises. After the commencement exercises comes the beginning of the end. 27 ff?-Q 93553100 N CEM CLASS PROPHECY Heavenly powers! ls there no corner in which a man can hide when fleeing from justice? l fled to Egypt to conceal myself in some dusky corner inhabited by mummies. It was evening. l stole into the tomb of Rameses ll, hoping there to escape for a while from my pursuers. l groped among the musty ruins and against the wall l perceived the figures of four mummies. By the dim light l recognized Victoria Boreen, Ethel Swanson, Grace Lundstrom, and lrene King, wives of the once famous king. l Hed in terror from these familiar faces. After several days, journey through the blistering sands l arrived in Arabia where l spent the night in an Arab's tent. The man was courtesy itself throughout the meal. We rolled ourselves up in the tent and pro- ceeded to sleep. ln the middle of the night l awoke to the strains of fa- miliar snoring. l rose on my elbow and crawled, with perspiration on my brow, toward the seemingly strange figure. l swiftly turned his face up- ward, his red hair tumbled out from under his turban. It was Evert Swan- son. ln the black of the night l fied across the desert once more, making my way toward Persia. l spent several days in one of the large cities, and l beheld a peddler selling Jews I-larps. It was George Hoppe. l quickly left the city as l was sure he would recognize me. ln Turkey I was arrested and brought before the Sultan. To my sur- prise l found him to be Herbert Childs. He was dressed in gorgeous rai- ment, and by his side stood two attendants, Henry Sundgaard and Casmir l..esky. They were delighted to see me and dismissed the charge against me at once. l was entertained by the harem, consisting of lVlaybelle Keener, Florence Schmidt, Margaret Wallblom, Queen Fisher, lVlajella Kucheman and Lucille lVlcGuire. They were all eating chocolates and looked fat and con- tented. After several days in the protection of the Sultan, I was warned to flee, for the police were again on my trail. l went to the jungles of Arcquana in the South, Seas. The ship l boarded was old and covered with barnacles, and we feared any moment that it might go down. To lessen the weight the passengers decided that one should be thrown overboard, and he was immediately swallowed by a shark. No sooner had the shark swallowed him when with a writhing mo- tion he belched forth the man upon our decks. It was Ben Gottfried, yell- ing Holy Smoke! The sailors immediately carried him below so l es- caped notice. The captain and his crew looked worried as we were approaching a dangerous whirlpool. The green water arose in great billows and immedi- ately sank down into a funnel-like depression. As the water receded the mast of a ship rose into view and clinging to it were Violet Jackson, Bjarne l..orentzen and Verna Norsted. Finally the desperate face of the captain, Stanley I-loveland, came into View but some action beneath the surging wa- ters prevented us from helping these unfortunate beings, and we passed on and landed on the island of Fiji. The savages received me in a friendly fashion and seemed anxious to show me something in the interior of the island. A guide led me to a vil- lage on the side of a mountain. l was surprised to see a sign board in the 28 is M300 Tl9.?2.f village advertising Bromo Seltzer. The fat king of the village stood with a spear in hand in front of his thatched dwelling. l dared not show my guide that under this oil and paint I recognized the countenance of Fred Fladeland. The banging of tom-toms brought out the rest of the villagers, among whom there were George Ofelt, Olga Tolass, Ada Quehl, Dorothy Darmocly, Leon- ard l..arson and Mildred Hedberg. l was received with honors and they explained they were tired of the blight of civilization and had reverted to the natural life and they were perfectly happy. Tiring bf this simplicity, l took the next boat for the continent. Along the shores of France we passed by a fishing sloop on which we saw Victoria Novotny, Ruth Fitch, Olga Olson, Ethel Dosh and Alice Lee fishing for shrimps. l shall never forget the picturesque scene. Their jaunty caps were set on one side: their short skirts were tucked up under their quaint aprons. They cheerily greeted us, and with their strong arms lifted the nets of shrimp into the boats. With joy in my heart l kept on my way and soon arrived in Spain. Oh the wharves were many Spanish peasants crying their wares. A cry of Hot Dogs! rose shrilly above the tumult of voices. Grace Rose and Dorothea Zehnder bustled toward me with baskets of Uhot dogs. No sight could have warmed the cockles of my heart more as it brought back the memory of the lunch counter at old Johnson High. Shouts of Toreador rang upon my ears. l followed the crowd and found mvself in a large arena in which a bull fight was in progress. A fe- rocious Holstein bull was chasing Alan Wemple and Allen Johnson around the ring. Allen fell and the bull tripped over him and sprained his knee. Alan W. at once courageously turned and slaughtered the bull. The bull resented this. While watching the combat a hand was suddenly placed upon my shoulder and turning l looked into the eyes of a Spanish detective. l fled again through the crowd and took the next train for Monte Carlo. Here being happy with my success at the roulette wheel, l challenged all comers. Four fashionably dressed travellers accepted this offer. As the wheel started spinning l looked at them more closely and recognized them as Eleanor Kelly, Bernice Earthfield, Helen and Mildred Johnson. Again fearing recognition l hurriedly left the place in a passenger aero- plane. Among the passengers I noticed Baron Thomssen. I tried to avoid his glance but his Warm heart went out to me and l was caught in his arms. l sobbed out my tale of woe on his bosom and in trembling tones l pleaded with him not to disclose my identity. He promised to shield me in London. Walking through the slums of London, my keen ear caught the shriek of a parrot, Dufva! Polly wants a cracker! Could this be the abode of the lanky center of our once famous team? I shook my head in sorrow and went on. As I trudged along the gloomy streets, l stopped at a pawn shop to look at a watch and l noticed the initials engraved on the cover were F. G. Standing at the counter was a woman dressed in black velvet holding in her hand a long string of pearls. Even as l looked she turned. It was Olive Niclai. l was aroused from my stupefaction by the sound of a clang of a fire engine. Turning, l saw the flames raging in the next block. l hurried to the scene and beheld the gallant fireman descending a ladder with three women in his arms. One fell and was caught by the howling mob below. 29 as MHQ0 NLXKJQJ It was Norine Kloos. lmmediately afterwards the fireman reached the crowd and I saw to my astonishment, Elmer Noreen with Myrtle Best and Evelyn Hanke unconscious in his arms. Realizing there were too many people in London who might recognize me, l went to lreland. The day I arrived I found Ireland in an uproar. A large mass meeting was being held in Cork, in defense of the Irish Navy. The most violent agitator was Fern Nelson. She was supported by Gudrun Melby, Ellen Carpenter, Emma Ewert and Harriet Chelgren. ln the course of their harangue, l learned that Martin Holm was on a hunger strike in be- half of the bricklayers' union. Taking the advice of these Irish radicals l fled to America, deciding to hide in my own country. Sick of the sight and sounds of foreign lands, l sought gaiety of Broadway. Glaring lights of amusement palaces attracted me irresistibly and l drifted into the open doors of Kinstler's Follies. The show was very good, and prominent among the chorus were Florence Petersen. Mildred Westerlund, Grace Schelen, Candace Sadler, Tracy Cooke, Elsie Nelson, Hazel Danielson, Pauline Woost, Judith Schilling, Alva Lindstrom, Dorothy Peterson, and Jeanette Bunnell. A large, new tabernacle had been erected, and Billy Sunday was in full fling. The choir sangg the ushers rushed back and forth: and then, after a prayer, came a moment of silence. Who would be the first to hit the trail? l looked and beheld James Nlayfleld with solemn face striding by, and in quick succession followed Ada Altmann, Bernice Kern, Dorothy Eddy and Nathan Brochiner. With Billy Sunday's eye on me I slid out. Overcome with hunger, l sought a Chinese Chop House. ln the pale face of the head waiter I recognized Arthur Miller. Gazing out of the win- dow l beheld the human fly, mounting the Woolworth building. I snatched up a pair of field glasses and took a closer look. l beheld Albin Nelson. At this same restaurant a party was being given in honor of the famous mounted policeman who had tracked nine desperate characters all over the world and at last captured them single-handed. I found this great hero to be Allan Koerner. l decided this was no place for me so l left for Greenwich Village at once. On the fifth story in an attic apartment an artist was painting a pic- ture of his beautiful bride. A dvaub of paint disfigured his face, but I rec- ognized him as Chauncy Johnson. The picture was a likeness of Irene Jost. I had not been in town ten minutes when two men approached me and asked me if l did not want to buy a quart of their private brand of moon- shine. l looked at them more closely, and behind their false whiskers l recongized Carl Chilman and Charles Peabody. Before l could reply, the sheriff of the town came running up waving his club and yelling, nl-lere they arelu We all ran down the street to escape Sheriff Meek, who was the terror of the county. I made good my escape, and went to the station. As l was waiting for the train another man approached me and offered to sell IUC 200 shares of Sunbeam Oil Stock at 52.33 a share. He handed me his highly decorated card on which was engraved, Raymond Peterson, stock promoter for the Makem Oil Co. - I boarded the train and took a seat directly behind a couple who were locked in loving embrace. As l looked, the man turned his head-it was Robert Blaisdell. Across the aisle sat Esther Kramer and her family. l quickly retired to another car, as I was sure they would recognize me. 30 as mess 1.5912 At the New York station I was terrified to find the police waiting for me. I slipped from the rear end of the train, and boarded a flier for San Francisco. I was told that the next Alaska boat left in two days, so I spent my time in seeing the city. A great race was in progress at the speedway, and I obtained a seat close to the track. Just as the machines passed me, a big red car crashed through the fence opposite me. I rushed over with the surging crowd, and beheld Solomon Gottfried lifting himself from the ruins of his machine. His mechanician, Stanley Norrbom, was assisting him to his feet. I spent the evening at the movies and was greatly surprised to see Cath- erine Devine, Verona Bernreuther and Mildred Bernard appear in one of the scenes. My steamer left next day, and I landed safely in Alaska. I at once struck into the interior, and proceeded far north. At last I came to an Esquimo village where I accidentally met Arline Clang and Svea Biork. They had exclusive agency there for Eskimo Pie, which was highly prized among the natives. In a few more days I came to the seacoast, and was picked up by an arctic exploring party. Olga Nelson and Lucille Miller were in charge. They did not recognize me in my furs, and consented to take me to Holland with them. We landed at the seaport of Rotterdam, and I was almost in despair when I again found a policeman waiting for me at the dock. I leaped over- board, swam ashore, and began to run along in the shadow of the dykes. The policeman saw me, and started to pursue. We had not run far when I came upon Alvin Hilgedick bravely holding his finger in a hole in the dyke and calling loudly for help. The policeman at once stopped chasing me to carry news to the town of the hero's saving their lives. Holland was not safe for me and so I went to Switzerland at once. I escaped into the mountains, and stopped at a little Swiss village that was especially noted for its fine cheese. I visited the factory, and found to my astonishment Helen and Julia Dostal drilling holes in great blocks of cheese which were to be sent to America. I escaped without notice, but left the village at once. In the mountains I found an old hermit who was engaged in raising mushrooms and selling lawnmowers. He had a long beard and wore a robe of sackcloth. With difficulty I recognized George Leaf. I stayed here with him for some time, as he knew nothing of doings in the outside world, and so had not heard that I was wanted by the police. At last I decided to leave him, and so went to Genoa, Italy. I spent several uneventful days here when one morning I stepped from a store, and into the arms of seven officers. They seized me and threw me into a patrol wagon. There was another prisoner inside. I scrutinized him closely, and recognized the international crook and bank robber, Pierre Herrmann. A few days later we were treated to an electrical massage of twenty thousand volts, and found ourselves rapidly descending through space, landing at last by the burning lake, near Pandemonium. Even here we saw familiar faces, and heard familiar sounds. Well-known Voices drifted across the, lake. Can you hear me in the balcony? mlihe water in this lake is utterly unfit for my poor goldfish, Now when I was a boy-,H i'Gleam work Monday, please! With a sigh I sank beneath the waves. There is no seclusion or peace in the world or out of it. 31 EQ M5300 WLXPJLF J MEN FOR 1922.

The personnel of the team consisted of all light players averaging 140 pounds. Despite this handicap, the team always went into the game full of fight. After the games, the opposing teams always felt that they had been up against stiff opposition. At the close of the season, Sundgaard was given a place on the first all-star team of the cityg and Lindell on the second team. Under present conditions, the prospects for a heavier football team are not very bright, as all new members in the school are exceedingly small and light. Following are the names of men who composed the team: ENDS TACKLES H. Sundgaard A. Nelson S. Gottfried H. Flesher GUARDS QUARTERBACKS H. Lindell E. Surber J. Cribbs C.

At last Johnson's dreams have been realized. A city championship and also a Twin City championship have been won by her. The 1922 basketball team was probably the fastest quint in both Minneapolis and St. Paul. lts pluckiness enabled it to cop two championships and get the much desired trip to Northfield. Although Johnson was eliminated at Northfield, she had the honor of participating in the events which had long been her desire. Much can be said about every game in which Johnson took part but probably the most exciting basketball games ever staged were played when Johnson won the two championships. Coming from behind in the last minutes of play in both games, and turning defeat into victory, was the great task which the Johnson team accomplished. Before crowds of 3,000 and 4,000 enthusi- astic fans, the maroon and white quint drove forward to victory. The game which decided the city championship was almost even throughoutg but always the johnson quint was behind until the final period when an unusual spurt put them ahead. This first victory set the crowd of excited fans wild, and for a moment pandemonium broke loose. This victory encouraged another, so when the game of the Twin City championship was to be decided, a record crowd turned out to witness it. When Soutlfs men appeared on the floor Johnson's predicament was very grave indeed, because South's men were giants compared to the midget Johnson team. At the end of the first half it was even graver, for the score stood l l-4 with Johnson on the short end. Besides being big, South's men were very fast players. But coming from behind in the second half, the Johnson team did the most unexpected 'thing by completely outclassing South and in the end defeating them. No victories could have been more glorious than the winning of the two championships. Probably Johnson will never see a team which accomplished so much in the face of impeding difficulties, as the one for the year l922. This season was the best Johnson has ever experienced and the scores of the games are as follows: Johnson - - 32 Central - - - Johnson - - 3 l Mechanics - - Johnson 35 Humboldt - - Johnson - - l 7 Central - - Johnson l 8 Mechanics - - Johnson 42 Humboldt - - Johnson - - I6 Central - - - Johnson I 6 South - - Johnson - - - l 6 Mankato - - - Outside the regular games some of the other scores were Johnson - - - 40 Red Wing Seminary Johnson - - - 45 St. Paul Academy Johnson 80 Cretin ---- Johnson - - 23 North High - - Johnson - - 23 East High - - - Johnson 28 North St. Paul - - 34 me miaoo Q-Wxgxsylf BASKETBALL MEN. Elmer Dufva, captain of this year's team and pivot man, did not get into the game until late in the season because of an injured leg. He played very well in both the championship games and always inspired the team. Swede Thomssen, who took Dufva's place at center, was a whirl- wind throughout the city circuit and played a sterling game at the time of the Twin City championship meet. Chink Goldstein, star forward and of small stature, was easily the outstanding star in both the championship games. It was his baskets that saved the day for Johnson. Bobby Hoefer, diminutive forward, was shifted from forward to guard and guard to forward throughout the season and he showed his ability at handling both positions. Sam Kaufman, star running guard, starred in almost every game with his unusual guarding and also his ability to shoot long field goals. Frank Geary, star guard, always shone well in every game, and occa- sionally dropped in a field goal. Archie Smith and Henry Sundgaard, the two subs, were always ready to take their teammates' places in case of mishap. Smith will be back again next year, but we are sorry to note that Sundgaard graduates in the spring. 35 as Magee XEWDJ HOCKEY. Henry Sundgaard, center, gave up basketball to enter the hockey ring, and proved himself an able stickwielder. George Leaf, star defense man, has played considerable hockey in his day, and can handle the stick very well. George Hoppe, goal guard, entered the game this year, and proved to be very effective in Warding off pucks. Roy Wendell, another utility man, did not have a chance to show his wares but as he is a junior he will be back again next year. Evert Swanson played in some of the fast games of the season and shone very noticeably. Walter Fredell, utility man on the team, will be back again next year to prove his ability at handling the puck. Not much chance was given to him this year, but if he is anything like his brother, he ought to be a snappy hockey player. Clarence Hagman, star wing, played that position on the l9l9 hockey team, and also will be back to play that position next year. Eugene Surber, star defense player, also entered the game late in the season, but proved himself to be fully adapted to the knack of handling the stick. Alan Wemple played the other wing and is also a letter man, having played the year before. 36 if-ci migaioo xgiylf BASEBALL. Johnson's prospects for a good baseball team seem unusually bright this year, as there are six veterans who have returned to school. These men, Thomssen, Nelson, Dufva, Peterson, Surber and Captain-Elect Sundgaard are all peppy players and should do much in putting Johnson in the baseball lime- light. Also in addition to these veterans Coach Rees has Goldstein and Kaufman, two fast players who played with the lVlcGee Nine last year. Goldstein is a fast short-stop, while Kaufman will probably be seen at second base. With a few more 'men such as Hoeffer and Hagman, Johnson ought to make a good bid for the city championship. The schedule which begins April 28, tends to be a very thrilling one and Johnson's team ought to be one of the best drawing cards in any game in which she participates. Follow- ing is the schedule: April 28-Johnson Central May 5-Johnson Mechanics lVlay l 2-Johnson Humboldt May I9 Johnson Central May 26 Johnson Mechanics june 2-Johnson Humboldt me miiiiaoo NJASWJJ GIRLS' ATHLETICS. Girls' Athletics began early last fall, and We have had a very successful season thus far. The Director of the Girls' Gymnasium and, to some extent, athletics, is Miss Irene Johnson, a graduate of La Crosse Normal School. More girls have been interested in athletics than ever before. We began our season with volley ball, which we continued until Thanksgiving. We next played basketball up until our Easter vacation. After Easter vacation we issued a call for indoor baseball. It was answered promptly and all seemed Very much interested in the work, The girls have been working hard in order to win their Each girl is credited with a certain number of points. It takes sixty credits to receive a Maroon while thirty are the credits required for a small white one. The officers that were elected for the year are as follows: President and Vice-President, Majella Kuchemang Secretary and Treasurer, Josephine Mahoney. We owe much to Miss Sliney and Mr. Rees, who helped in keeping this organization up. STATEMENT OF ATHLETIC FINANCES. Johnson High School Athletic Association.

MINIATURE STAGE The miniature stage photographed for this article was made for Miss Moreland's English I classes by Herbert Gahagan. It is complete in every detail except for the lighting system. It has three attractive scenes from the Merchant of Venice: a garden scene, a street scene in Venice, and Portia's palace. THE STAGE FORCE AND THE NEW STAGE EQUIPMENT. Everyone who has a seat in the assembly some time during the day has heard the hammering and sawing that has been going on behind the scenes. Some people may wonder what is to be the result of all this effort. The result is one hundred and fifty square feet of new stage floor space, the space that has been formerly taken up by. Room S3 a complete new lighting system, consisting of a set of dimmers for all the switches of the stage lights, and an entirely new switchboard, orchestra lights, and a complete set of draperies, wings and borders. Successful as our plays and other stage productions have,been before, we know that those to come will be doubly so, with the help of all this new equipment. We must not forget the stage force. A great deal of credit is clue them for the success of all our productions. The manager, Herbert Gahagan, has helped much to make the stagings artistic and the stage force the effi- cient organization it has proved itself to be. All boys interested in this sort of work are urged to join the stage force, as they need all the help they can get. The members of the present stage force are as follows: ' Herbert Gahagan ---- Stage Manager Harold Dean - - Assistant Manager Marvin Strehlow - Stage Electrician Earl Moletor - Stage Carpenter Carl Lindahl - Property Master Mathew Rusch - - Stage Hand Elmer Olson - - Stage Hand 41 as Massa K- 39121 DRAMATICS This past year has showed many achievements along the line of dra- matics. We have probably not had as many assemblies as some years, but those we have had have been very good. The first assembly after vacation was held on September 20, 1922. The program consisted of recitations by members of the expression department, and songs by the Girls' Glee Club. The recitations were: l arn an American ---- Herbert Childs The Party at Crogan's - - - Fred Fladeland Swinging in the Grape-Vine Swing Mildred Westerlund Accompanied by Miss Morton at the piano. Mr. Rees gave a short talk about football and urged our attendance at the games. We were also presented to our new cheer-leader, Ben Gott- fried. The Girls' Glee Club, under the direction of our new music teacher, Miss Nelson, rendered two selections, Greeting by Mendelssohn, and 'iln Cuba. The next assembly of any importance was held on Roosevelt Day, Oc- tober 27. Mr. C. W. Farnham, a personal friend of Roosevelt, gave us a speech on Roosevelt's life. He told us many new and interesting things which we had never known before. On Wednesday, November 9, Mr. Ned Woodman, the cartoonist, gave us a chalk talk. He told us of a rather interesting way in which to improve memory. We had another good assembly the next day, November l0. A play, the first one of the term, was given by members of the expression classes, under the direction of Miss Morton. This play is considered one of the best that has ever been given at Johnson. It was X-O or A Night of the Trojan War. The story of the play was of the Greek and Trojan War. A Greek soldier scales a wall and kills a Trojan, and at the same time another Trojan enters the Greek camp and kills a Greek soldier. Each side loses a man and nothing is gained. The massive wall, the starlit sky, and the armored sentinels silhouetted against it, and the Hare of the torches in the Grecian tent, made a most impressive and memorable picture. The cast: Salvius, a Greek Clarence Kinstler Pronax, a Greek - Herbert Childs Capius, a Trojan Franklin Meck llus, a Trojan - Ralph Patterson A Greek Sentinel James Mayfield A Greek Servant - - - Clarence l-lagman Herbert Brenning, accompanied by Miss Nelson, played two violin solos between the acts. The week beginning October l4, was Better English Week. We had an assembly Monday morning, and Mayor Hodgson talked to us about the advantages of good English. 42 EQ may-ggoo V NLXQLF On Tuesday we had another assembly and movies were shown illustrat- ing in story form, the relation of parts of speech to each other, and their uses in sentences. Wednesday was Slogan Day. Nearly everybody wore a slogan boost- ing better English, and those who didn't were punished accordingly. At noon of the same day, a very sorrowful funeral was held in the gymnasium for Poor English. With much lamentation and weeping, the senior boys per- formed the last sad rites over the dead body of their old friend, The Reverend Mr. Colberg presiding over the ceremonies. The last day of Better English Week, Friday, we wound up the Week's campaign with a very good program in the assembly. The freshmen pre- sented a pantomine under the direction of Miss Moreland. It was very well given and showed the rest of us that there was much talent among the fresh- men, too. Julia Cowherd sang two solos, The Japanese Maiden and Daddy's Sweetheart. Miss Smith also sang two solos for us. The orchestra made its first public appearance, and rendered two beautiful selections, The Eastern Star March and a i'Spanish Dance. Mr. Guise then awarded prizes for the best editorial, poem, slogan, and anecdote offered during Better English Week. The prize-winners and their prizes were as follows: Harriet Berggren, for the editorial, a gold Nupoint pencil. Eleanor Monson, for the poem, a framed motto. Theodore Dostal, for the slogan, a silk Hag. Courtland Nordgren, for the anecdote, a volume of Lincoln stories. It is a significant fact that all the prize-winners were lower classmen. The Thanksgiving assembly was held Wednesday, November 23. Mr- Guise opened the ,assembly by making several important announcements, among them, the organization of the Skiing Club. Mr. Hall is the founder and faculty adviser of this club. The school then arose and sang two stanzas of America. Fred Fladeland read the Presidents Thanksgiving Day Procla- mation. A short play, Harvest Home, was presented by the members of expression classes and glee clubs. The play was taken from a scene in Adam Bedef' by George Eliot. The leading parts were taken by George Leaf, Theodore Fortmeier, Arline Clang, and Herbert Childs. The play pictured farm life in England about one hundred years ago. The Virginia Reel, danced by the farmhands, was also given. The senior assembly came at Christmas time. It was held Thursday, December 22. The Adeste Fidelesn was played as a processional and sung by the seniors who marched down the aisles to seats in the front of the room. Mr. Cruise then made several announcements, and extended hearty thanks to Miss Morton, the seniors, and the stage force, who had the program in charge. A prologue to the program was recited by Helen Dostal, and Florence Petersen sang The Hush of Night Hath Fallen. The play The Elves and the Shoemaker, taken from an old Christmas story, was presented. 43 as MKR QNQQSS O The characters in the play were: Father Beck - - Raymond Peterson Mother Beck - Lucille McGuire Elves Jecko - Dorothy Eddy Echo Alva Lindstrom Re-Echo - Grace Schelen Lisbet - - - Ada Quehl l..isbet's Father - - - Solomon Gottfried Neighbors.

He distributed appropriate gifts to some of the members of the faculty and student body. On behalf of the Senior Class, he also presented to the school, a large green jardiniere, which was placed on the top of a book-case, as an additional means of beautifying the assembly hall. The program was concluded with the recitation of an epi- logue by Helen Dostal. Because of the fact that repairs were being made on the stage, we have had fewer assemblies this term, but still we have managed to have several good ones. The first assembly of the new term was held in honor of l..incoln's birth- day. Mr. Guise made remarks on the life and character of Lincoln. Ralph Patterson read, ul-le Knew Lincoln, by lda Tarbell. Miss Smith then favored us with a solo. Miss Morton read. The Gettysburg Address, and part of Lincoln's Second Inaugural Speech. The program was concluded with two violin solos rendered by Verne Ahlberg accompanied by Everett Peterson. The assembly in honor of George Washington's birthday was held Tues- day, February 2 I. Helen Johnson read, Tributes to Washington. Edward Ouellette told us about the Betsy Ross Memorial Association. A few years 44 as Mase NLXJQJ ago twenty members of one of the civics classes subscribed ten cents each and joined the Betsy Ross Memorial Association. They received an en- larged copy of the picture, The Making of the First Flag, which now hangs in Miss lckler's room. Ruth Nelson recited, The Name of Old Glory, by James Whitcomb Riley. The program closed with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, by the school. Friday, March 3, a very good program was given in the assembly. Miss Ask, a new member of the faculty, rendered two beautiful selections on the violin. Two scenes were given from The Lost Paradise, a play by a Ger- man writer, Ludwig Fulda, translated and adapted by Henry C. De Mille. The cast of characters was: Margaret Knowlton Victoria Novotny Polly Fletcher - Alva Lindstrom Bob Appleton - Archie Smith The stage force again arranged a beautiful setting, representing a lux- urious apartment in the Knowlton home, and the members of the cast acquit- ted themselves with credit, as was shown by the hearty laughter and applause which greeted their efforts. On Thursday, March 9, we had another assembly. At this assembly movies were shown depicting the scenes of starvation in the Near East. This picture was called, Alice in l'lungerland, and was shown to enliven our interest in the Near East Relief cause, and there remains no doubt as to whether it accomplished its purpose or not. Wednesday, March 15, an assembly was held giving the basketball team a rousing send-off to Northfield, where they went to engage in the tournament for high school state championship in basketball. The assembly was in charge of Mildred Westerlund. The first thing we did was to give several cheers for the members of the team. The rest of the program consisted of short speeches by Mr. Kilbourne, physical director of St. Paul schools, Ben Gott- fried, Mr. Rees, and several alumni: Lawrence Aurelius, Albert Stromwall, Verne Kucheman, and Lester Palmer. Mr. Guise also made a few remarks followed by an address by Mayor Hodgson. Elmer Dufva, captain of the basketball team, thanked the school for the spirit they had shown in backing the team. The assembly was concluded with more cheers for the team. Later an assembly was given under the auspices of the Junior class. The first act of The Romancersf' by Edmond Rostand was presented. The characters: Sylvette - - - Karla Jorgenson Percinet ---- Agnes Klope Pasquinot, Sylvette's father Verne Ahlberg Bergainin, Percinet's father - Eugene Surber Straforel, a Swordsman ..

Music, moonlight, humor, ro- mance, and pretty costumes united to make the play attractive. The Girls' Club is to give a play in the near future. It is called The Whole Truthf' Characters: Christine Ashley - - Lucille McGuire Amy, her younger sister -Dorothy Wollny Mrs. Ashley, her mother - Esther Kramer Roger, Christine's lover - Ruth Nelson Mrs. Owens friends Dorothy Peterson Mrs. Curtis of Margaret Wallblom Mrs. Coulter Mrs. Ashley Jeanette Bunnell Laura l Florence Schmidt Cicely - friends of Christine K Verona Bernreuther Julia Candace Sadler Marie, a maid - - - Evelyn Bast The play tells the story of a lover's quarrel, of misunderstandings, and severed friendships, of heart-burnings and a broken engagement fhappily mended just before the final curtain fallsl all due to Christine's effort to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, for one single after- noon. The Senior class gave a vaudeville, Wednesday evening, March 22. The program was very humorous, causing many a hearty laugh in the audience. The program was as follows: 4 Music by the Johnson Jazz Orchestra Elmer Noreen The Wonders of Science - George Hoppe Robert Blaisdell The Clarinetist - - - Harvey French Dance, Mpernette 6: Piquetn sg0fQthYKEddY ernice ern The Ventriloquist - - Clarence Kinstler The Puppet - - Daniel Brabeck Songs and Steps - Irene King , , Florence Petersen A Muslcal Skit ' ' l Otto Thomssen and chorus.

Others who were considered for leading roles were Lucille McGuire, Irene Jost, Esther Kramer, Arline Clang, Alva Lindstrom, Florence Schmidt and Dorothy Eddy, all of whom have shown marked ability in this line. The story of the play is thus summed up by one critic: ,Ielf's, an old-established London bank, has come into the hands of a young Californian rancher. He knows nothing about banking, but a good deal about taking chances. Commencing with comedy, the play builds up into a situation of powerful melodrama-one man fighting alone against the world and overcoming it by sheer worth of character. The play was first produced in London where it had a long and suc- cessful run in the hands of such artists as Mr. Gerald du Maurier, Miss Vane Featherstone, and Miss Rosalie Toller. Our school had the honor of pre- senting it, for thde first time to a St. Paul audience. Miss Marguerite Morton directed the production, with the assistance of committees selected from the faculty and students. The Johnson High School Orchestra, directed by Miss Nelson, furnished the music for the play. 4T Eg ZMRQQ NJBYJQJ THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT Our music department has proved a success under the direction of Miss Nelson.

When Mr. Guise originated the idea of having a print shop at Johnson, he started something which has been a great asset to our school. Four hundred dollars was put into the project when started in I9 I 5. It is now worth two thousand five hundred dollars. ln I9l5 twenty boys took printingg now sixty boys are working in the print shop. At present it has a new cylinder press, an eighteen-by-twelve Gordon press, a paper cutter, a stitching machine, and a punching machine. The cylinder press was installed in February. The department has been growing steadily. The printing of our school paper The Gleamn is the factor which has paid for the print shop. The print shop also prints tickets for athletic games, programs for entertainments, placards, Central high school's lunch tickets, the Douglas school paper, and the School Bulletin. While the work is most valuable, and many students are interested, the shop is unfortunately located. One must climb down many steps to find this rather dark corner in the basement, where the printing is carried on, as ef- fectively as possible in its cramped quarters. The picture shows the boys all working at the various activities in the shop. Some are type-settingg some feeding the pressg and others folding. Mr. Delander, who is a good natured instructor, is the head of the print shop. Under his supervision the print shop has grown to be what it is today. 50 me miisoo Nl9?lf THE MACHINE SHOP The machine shop in the Johnson High School is one of the most prac- tical rooms in the school. Did you know that? As a visitor enters our machine shop, probably the first thing that will attract his attention is the noise and seeming confusion. Some of the stu- dents may be hurrying to the tool room, and some will be standing by the machines watching their work, and still other students may be taking in- structions from the teacher. All the time the machines seem to groan from the strain put on them. The Visitor will probably wish to see some of the articles made in the shop. He is first led to the southeast corner of the room. There on a table, that shows it has been in hard service, is a gasoline engine. The engine is started, and in a short time the room is full of smoke. Not far away is an air-pressure engine. The teacher has a student pump air into the engine, and with a little start it spins at a great velocity. The next things that are shown are the tools made in the machine shop. After examining them and praising their exactness, the visitor may ask whether the students ever use what they make. To this question the instruc- tor, lVlr. Anderson, will reply that a former student uses his gasoline engine to run a dynamog another has his engine on a boat: other students make vacuum cleaners which work better than many that are sold by large con- cerns. Other articles made here are knives, wrenches, taps, surface gauges, beveled gears, spur gears and many other necessities. Before leaving, the now interested observer is given a little lecture by the instructor. l-le is told that besides becoming a mechanic, the student here learns to become accurate, wide awake, and careful. To know more about the machine shop it is necessary to visit it: and there you will get a hearty welcome. 51 is flies-QQ XCXPOJ ' are I THE WOOD SHOP ln the johnson wood shop a student does not begin with the big things, but gradually advances toward them step by step. When a student first starts his work he must learn the names of the tools and their different uses. After this is completed he works on several ex- ercises so that, Mr. Hall, the shop teacher, may find out what the student is capable of doing. The first semester of wood shop consists chiefly of ex- ercises and small problems. When the student is ready for the second semester of his work he must first select what he plans to makeg some of the articles being, library tables, sewing tables, pedestals, telephone tables and magazine racks. The student must furnish his materials from now on until he has finished his course in the wood shop. He cannot undertake any problem that lVlr. Hall thinks he cannot finish in a semester, because everyone is required to finish the piece that he has started during the semester. At the end of this term, the student should be able to finish his problem, that is to fill, stain, shellac and varnish or wax his article. During the third term of wood shop the student takes wood turning which is an art in woodwork in which almost anything in the line of candle- sticks, lamps, nut bowls, necktie rings, napkin rings and fancy legs for ta- bles, etc., can be made. As during the first term the student starts with ex- ercises. Last, but not least, is cabinet making which teaches the student to make fine furniture. During this semester the student may make fancy tables and many other things too numerous to mention. When the student has completed his course in the wood shop he should be able to make almost anything, in the line of woodwork, that is put be- fore him and he should also be quite efHcient in the art of woodfinishing. 52 as Manoa Cjxxgwmf I LUNCH ROOM Under the efficient management of Mrs. Maxson, Johnson High School has a lunch room which provides wonderful lunches for the student at cost. In fact, the food in the lunch room is served at a loss to the department: while the profit is made at the candy and ice cream counters. Yet much of the candy costs the student less here than it does elsewhere, and in no in- stance does it cost more. About l75 students depend upon the lunch room entirely for their lunches, while about 200 more patronize the lunch room for a portion of their lunchg such as a cup of coffee, a glass of milk, or a bowl of soup. Twenty-five students, who do Various kinds of work in the serving room and behind the candy and ice cream counters, earn their lunches. The systems of records used in the lunch room were devised by the students of the bookkeeping department. All cash received and paid out is checked and rechecked by different cashiers: so it would be difficult for a penny or a nickel to slip into a wrong place. All money received is counted and placed in the bank every day, and at the end of each month a statement of what the books show is made out and handed to the Department of Education. About one thousand dollars is taken in and the same amount paid out every month. The personnel of the lunchroom is as follows: R. W. DIEHL .... Faculty Adviser. MRS. MAXSON . . . Lunch Room Manager. C. ANDERSON . . Lunch Room Cashier. R. E. NYHUS . . Lunch Room Cashier. VICTORIA NQVOTNY , , . Bookkeeper. VERONA BERNREUTHER . Secretary. JJ' EE WWYQQQ uw RUNNING WILD For ten years the D. 6: St. L. had struggled to maintain its right of way-had fought with a noble strength that was not to be denied. A dec- ade had elapsed since the party of railroad surveyors had gone out from St. Louis and accomplished the impossible-mapped out a route for the sin- gle track extension to Denver that passed through lengthy canyons that twined in and out among the lofty peaks in delightful curves. When you realize what such an achievement meant in those days of pioneers and prairie- schooners and you learn that the route was surveyed with no more than a one per cent grade on the whole line-only then can you begin to appreci- ate the marvelous task those engineers performed. But they willingly gave their best that their country might advance-and counted it all in the day's work. With the passing of time, the D. 8: St. L. prospered, and improvements that a growing population required and demanded were instituted, and the pioneer of railroads in the West became a two-track line-in places. But it flourished only by the untiring service of its devoted employees-and lived by the sweat of their brows. Not without its cost did it thread its way on- ward, for it exacted its toll in lives, the lives of the men who were willing to give them up at any time if need arose-in bridges washed out, and tracks torn from the roadbed. But though the price was huge, yet it prospered, and the splendid shape the D. ZS: St. L. is in today remains a glorious living tribute to those who gave their all that the railroad might endure and be- come a living thing. So much for the early days of the road, as it was known to its builders and to those whom it served. Stanton, a town of some two or three thousand inhabitants, was Di- vision Headquarters then and contained, besides the yard, a squalid depot that gloried in its senility. The red barn paint that had once embellished its sides was blistered and peeledg the boards warpedg and the name had long since been rendered unreadable by the merciless smoke and inclement weather. But never judge a man by the clothes he wears, and so you mustn't pre-condemn this station in your minds, for it had its redeeming features as well, one of which was the once-seen-never-to-be-forgotten Hof- ficen where Clure, the dispatcher on the night trick, could be found at any hour of the night. The office was the boast of the dispatchers, and woe unto him who dared disturb so much as a chair in the room, for it was the pride of the Di- vision. But the place most surely belied its repute that night, and well it might, for it was a dreary night, with the rain pouring down outside in white sheets whipped by a strong gale against the window-panes, which rattled in their frames. The interior of the dispatcheris room was fully as dingy and dismal, if not more so, as the outside. The sagging pine ceiling was blackened in a spot tif it were blacker in one place than another, where the smoke from the ill-smelling kerosene lamp, had left its mark. A rusty stove in the cor- ner contributed much to the hazy appearance of the room as gray wisps of smoke floated from cracks in the stove-pipe. Yet the office was a warm refuge from the violence of the storm raging without, and Dispatcher Clure sat snug in his chair by the key. 54 is M300 xglylf Clure was a full-fledged, dyed-in-the-wool dispatcher after three years on a station key, and four more on the night trick at Stanton. There was not an operator on the Division that stood higher in the estimation of Noyes, the Superintendent of the Division, and to stand high with him was ever the hope of the most zealous of the yard and station employees, from master- mechanic down to the lowest-paid section-hand. And Noyes was in the office that night, and there was a reason, for weren't his wife and the kids, as he fondly spoke of them, due early the next morning on the Express Flyer, and could he sleep until they were in Stanton safe and sound? If you had known Noyes as the boys knew him, you would never have questioned his right to be there at that time. But the hour was late, and with a parting injunction to Clure to Keep the track clear for the Express Flyer, Noyes stepped out the door, with his greatcoat buttoned tightly and his collar up, and was swallowed up in the storm. The gust of wind from the door blew out the lamp, and it was a moment before Will, the night caller for the train crews, succeeded in light- ing it again. Then for an hour the only noise in the room was that made by the key as Clure tapped out in seemingly endless succession the orders that sent the cattle and sheep trains rambling over the tracks that night. He glanced aside at the train sheet for a moment, and almost instantly the sounder broke with an incessant S t, S t, S t, G r, G r, G r, Clure swung round to the key and sent back to Grant QG-rl, the next station east of Stanton. his Aye-aye. The sounder broke again and Clure got the message as fast as it came over the hot Wire-- Engine 306 with full steam up running wild east on single track. In crises Clure was at his best, and many a person's life was saved be- cause he had been at the key at the danger moment. There was no excep- tion that night, for he instantly grasped the perilous import of the message and muttered with a thick breath- Oh God-and to happen on the one night! He turned from the desk to glance at the sheet and saw that the Express Flyer was due to leave Harrison at the very minute, with a hundred- mile straight run to Clover, the next station west. If he only could stop it in time-and he prayed fervently that he might, for he could never live and think of the lives of the women and children, the lives he would feel he had blotted out. And he felt their souls cry out to him in appeal. He must stop the Flyer, it was up to him as it had never come to him before! Clure bounded to the key and got Harrison and tapped out- Delay Flyer on side house-track. Engine 306 running wild east from Grant. Al- most before he had completed the call he got the reply from Harrison- Flyer just left here. What shall I do? Was he to fail at the crucial moment? Would he give up now? No, he would not fail Noyes, now! He plugged the Super's house wire and got Noyes' Aye, aye, and tapped Come down, repeated it and cut him off. Between Grant and Harrison there were two stations, Colver and a small operator's shack at the quarry, between Colver and Harrison, but there was no night operator on the trick at the quarry, and a single track line all the way! 00 as miaoo N.lS9!2.f Clure got Colver and sent, Engine 306 running wild east from Grant, loosen fish plates on tracks near gorge, bend rails and ditch engine. Stop it at any cost. A minute passed--two-and the air was fraught with sus- pense as the sounder broke again and Colver sent- S--t, S-st, Wild en- gine passed here at seventy-mile clip. Could not bend rails in time. Was he to be crushed like this? Was there nothing to do? Cold beads of sweat stood out upon his brow as he pictured with a horror-stricken imagination the wild engine cutting into the Flyer and smashing-smashing-- smashing its way through. He tapped the key with renewed fury, hoping against hope and calling, calling, calling the quarry station, but all in vain for the operator there slept soundly that night, with not a thing to disturb his sleep. ' The door swung in, and Noyes strode in with coat flying and Happing about his pajama-clad legs, and the look in Clure's eyes told him what no words could tell. With eyes bulging with terror, Clure gave Noyes the story. Quick as a flash Noyes assumed command and rapped out his orders, one to Clure to Try to get the quarry station, and another to Will, the caller, to Find lVlcClare and tell him to have an engine ready with steam up as soon as l can get there. The caller sped out the door and Noyes followed soon after on the run and arrived at the yards just as the engine stood ready for him. The Super leaped up the steps and into the cab, casting barely a glance at the sweating fireman that fed the insatiable fire until the pressure gauge rose to the danger point, and opened the throttle wide. The engine started with a jerk, and the drivers tore at the wheels with pitiless fury as the steam screamed from the exhaust. The engine gathered speed and momentum, rocked on the tracks and took the curves on two wheels. The fireman had long since given up trying to stand on his feet in the cab and sank exhausted into the seat. But Noyes kept her open and kept his eye on the track ahead-what little he could see of it through the driving sleet. They passed Grant, then Colver, and yet they sped on-even though it was beyond possibility that a locomotive could hold the track at such a demon rate of speed. Long after the Super told me they made only eighty miles per hour, but l believe the fireman was nearer the truth when he swore they made ninety-five. They had passed the quarry before Noyes caught a fleeting glimpse of the light on the tender of the wild engine. He crowded on more steam and gradually gained on 306--but not until the nose of his pilot touched the tender of 306 did he ease off on the steam. With a leap he was out of the cab window, then crawled out along the icy foot rail and down on the pilot, caught and mounted the ladder of the tender of 306, climbed over the ten- der to the cab of the wild engine, set the brakes and stopped the engine in about two hundred yards, reversed it and opened the throttle wide again. They made the quarry siding in the nick of time, for just as Noyes was setting the switch again for the passing track for the Express Flyer to clear, its shrill whistle sounded from down the tracks, and the Flyer passed by. Not a soul on the train knew how close they had been to death, nor by what heroic effort their lives had been saved. And Noyes met the wife and the kids at Stanton in the early morn- ing. t 56 as Manoa ' C LU B 5 Ll x -ff v S ' Q J- L., Qt' OUR SKI CLUB The Johnson High School Ski Club, an organization unique in St. Paul's high schools, was organized Dec. l9, l92l, under the direction of Mr. Hall. On this date the club's constitution was drawn and its officers elected. The results of the election were as follows: President, Henry Sundgaardg Vice President, Clarence Kinstlerg Sec. and Treas., Olaf Hough. The club, an organization of forty-seven members, has taken, under suitable weather conditions, hikes to various out-of-town points, such as Highwood, Tanner's Lake, Hazel Park, and lVlcCarron's Lake. Nlembership to the club is open to all students and members of the faculty. its principal purpose in organizing is to promote and encourage skiing and hiking among the students and faculty of Johnson High School. The club has proved to be successful so far, and we want it to continue to be so. That it is enjoyed by its members is shown by the fact that many boys have participated in the events held by the club. Next season the club hopes to have a 10012 membership and continue its hikes and skiing. RADIO CLUB The johnson High School Radio Club started in April, 1921, with five members. Herbert Childs was elected president, and Allen Johnson, sec- retary and treasurer. With many afternoons of Work and with the co-opera- tion of our adviser, Mr. Harrell, we installed our aerial system on the roof of the school. A few days later we assembled our receiving apparatus and then a few signals were heard. About September 20, 1921, we elected new officers. They were For- est Wold, president, George Ofelt, secretary and treasurer, and Stanley Norrbom, vice president. Two of our members graduated, they were George Ofelt and Stanley Norrbom. The club then elected Carl Lindahl to take George Ofelt's place as secretary and treasurer. Our set is now in fine working order. We are receiving signals from many naval stations in United States and a few in Europe. We have ordered some new apparatus with which we will be able to receive radio-phone concerts in United States. We have not received it as yet but hope to in the future. As soon as it arrives we expect to make immediate use of it in our radio work. 5T his wwe mipflf MAROON STAFF.

This record is to contain the business of the graduates, their address, and any other items of interest to the school. The members of the society are selected by the faculty from the senior, junior, and sophomore classes. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: Miss Perry, Presiclentg lVlr. Harrell, Treasurer, and Eugenia Surber, Secretary. Those elected will perform the regular duties. Questionnaires were sent to all the alumni, possible. The alumni could not be reached, or they did not enter into the spirit of the thing: for not more than seventy per cent of the questionnaires were returned. These have been copied, card indexed, and filed. Part One of the Alumni Directory was printed in the October issue of the Gleam. ln each number of the Gleam a page or more is devoted to items of interest concerning recent alumni. Files of the Gleam and a Historical Scrap-Book are also being kept. This book contains newspaper clippings of athletic events, marriages, and honors given to the alumni or present members of the school. By doing this work the Historical Society and the school are able to keep in touch with the alumni. 59 as 212523252300 W.iX9?2J LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais fut organize un peu tard cet an et par consequent ne put pas accomplir autant que les membres clesiraient.

New officers were also elected for the coming year: Dorothy Peterson, president: Katharyn Hunt. vice presidentg Margaret Boesel, secretary: and Margaret Wallblom, treas- urer. On Nov. 26, l92l, a meeting was held in the Gym., and we outlined our work for the coming year. We decided to help at least five poor fam- ilies on Christmas and Thanksgiving, which we did. Then, also, we decided to make little toys for the crippled children at the Phalen Hospital. We wanted to have this year the biggest year in the history of our club, and we decided that our motto would be Service , because we thought that there were so many needy families in the community that it was up to us to help them. We have now about 400 members in the Girls' Club, and we hope that before the year closes our association will be a most prosperous one with a full line of accomplishments to our credit.

Nothing in a school could or should be more representative of the school itself nor more indicative of the predominant spirit and of the mental caliber of its students than the school publication. All of the work and thought that enters into the compilation and issue of a school paper is well spent effort, and fosters a spirit of helpfulness and a willingness to exert one's self to the utmost to promote and forward the interests of the school. With the thought of service constantly in mind, the Gleam staff of 1921-Z2 has endeavored to maintain the established reputation of the Gleam and has worked with might and main to further exalt it and place it pre- eminently above other high school papers. The staff is infinitely indebted to its faculty advisers, Miss Boyd, Miss Gooclell, Miss Mueller, and Mr. Harrell for their patient and tireless aid in supervising the work of publication: and takes this opportunity to thank them.

We were very fortunate at these gatherings in obtaining good speakers. Dr. E. A. Bess, President of Macalester College, spoke at one of our meetings, and Mrs. George C. Cool, President of the St. Paul Professional and Business Woman's Association, spoke at our first meeting. We were favored with both outside and school talent, consisting of music and speaking, at both of these meetings. We are planning upon two more meetings this year, and we are also expecting to have a banquet in June. After our meetings we spend a social hour in the gym. The object of this club is to help the students who are about to go out of school into stenographic and secretarial positions, by having former gradu- ates and business men and women come to us and tell us what is expected of us when we are in these positions. The motto of our club is: Be Somebody: Start Something. The membership of the club is two hundred and eighty-five. We have over one hundred dollars in the bank. We have bought for the school a ten Volume encyclopedia, which is in good use in the school library. The officers are: Mildred Westerlund, President: Alan Wemple, Vice Presidentg Florence Petersen, Secretary: Alva Linclstrom, Treasurer. 63 as mince K W.5:?DJ HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y Club was organized about 1017 but has not been very active until the last few years. johnson has always nan the most members in the club, and this year is no exception. The Hi-Y Club consists of the junior and senior boys. The purpose of the club is to maintain and extend Christian character throughout the high school. Our meetings are held regularly every Tuesday night at the First Swed- ish Baptist Church. Lawrence Aurelius, a former johnsonite, is our leader. Some topic of great value is discussed at these weekly meetings. The first Monday of every month the Hi-Y Club from all the schools meet at the Y. M. C. A. About sixty boys attend, half of whom are from Johnson. After a meal which consists chiefly of beans, a program is put on. Besides songs and other amusements, there is always a speaker for the oc- casion. These speakers are usually prominent professional men of the city. After the football season was over a banquet was held and all the high school football players were invited to attend. Oliver Aas, Minnesota foot- ball star, was the principal speaker of the evening. The semi-annual Co-ed party was held at the Y. W. C. A. and was a great success. Men who spoke on other occasions were the Rev. M. Earl, of the First Baptist Churchg Mr. Marshall, principal of Central High Schoolg and Mr. Maclziarlan, of the Union Gospel Mission. This has been the most successful year in the history of the Hi-Y Club, but we expect to have a much better club next year. 64 as Magee NQQJDJ LTHE PICKET CLUB The Picket Club was organized on December l, l92l. At this meet- ing the following officers were elected for the year: Lucile McGuire ..... President George Schaffer .... Vice President Majella Kucheman . Secretary Charles Peabody . . . Treasurer Margaret Wallblom . . . Cor. Secretary Verne Alberg . . . . Sergeant-at-arms The membership of fifty, including juniors, seniors, and four faculty members, are those who have been found willing to devote part of their time to the welfare of John A. Johnson High School along the lines dictated by the club. As the club is to be self perpetuating, new members will be elected by the club each fall, so that the active membership will be fifty. The club, as Mr. Cruise suggested, is divided into five departments: Literary, Dramatic, Music, Athletic, and School Welfare. The chairman for this year in the order of the departments are as follows: Dorothea Zehnder, Margaret Wallblom, lrene Jost, Eugene Surber, and Alvin Hilgedick. Business meetings are held the first Monday of every month. A program is given once a month: each department entertaining in its turn. 65 OF 1923. ASS CL ,Xt 924.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS FOR THE LUNCH ROOM There are several ways to use baked ham: One of the best ways is to eat it. Spaghetti should not be cooked too long: About eighteen inches is all right. Use one end of the fork only. Soup should be seen and not heard. Limburger cheese should be smelt, not tasted. Nickel water-guns will be of assistance in washing dishes. Furnish microscopes with the ice-cream, so we can find it. Honey may be used to sweeten almost anything-except the traffic cops and Andrew. It is easier to eat peas with a short knife than with a long one, because your fingers can be of assistance. The four seasons can be used to advantage: Pepper, salt, vinegar, and Paprika.
